Compared to the war in the Central Plains, no one will notice what is quietly happening here in Nanxiang, after all, the conspiracy will not be exposed to broad daylight until everything is revealed, and everything is unpredictable until then.

However, what Liao Li didn't expect was that he went to ask for the fake "Entering Shu Map" in order to deceive Xu Ji, which would become the biggest opportunity for Xu Ji to enter from here again in the future.

If Liao Li knew that the Yanzhou army had actually mastered the "Map of Entering Shu", and knew that Xu Ji's delay in entering Shu was because he considered the problem that the time had not yet arrived, he was afraid that he would vomit three liters of blood and die immediately. When the situation in Nanxiang quietly changed, the counterattack of the Yanzhou army in the Central Plains had been in full swing.

First in Xia Cai, Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling showed his might, and in a while, he defeated Zhang Ying, Chen Heng, Yu Mi and others, and Zhang Ying's army was closed, and for a while, Ji Ling's name became among the ranks of famous generals in Yanzhou. Zhang Ying was stabbed in the thigh by Ji Ling, suffering from pain day and night, and it was difficult to sleep, but the panic of the mind made Zhang Ying even more uncomfortable, Zhang Ying scolded Ji Ling on the one hand, and wondered in his heart on the other hand, you must know that the Yanzhou army in the Central Plains was obviously restrained by Xu Shu, how could it be possible to appear here so quickly? Unless there is one situation, that is, Xu Ji is back and has successfully solved Xu Shu.

But this is almost impossible, because the time is not in a hurry, and Xu Ji's speed will never be so fast.

Zhang Ying didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent people to various cities to ask for help, and at the same time sent people back to Shouchun to report everything that happened here to Liu Xuan. Zhang Ying didn't know that the war in various cities was in tension now, and he didn't know. Shouchun City has long been surrounded by Zhang Ji's army, and Liu Xuan. It is even more precarious.

On the night when Lei Bo was preparing to cross the river, Zhang Ji's army began a general attack on Shouchun City.

Zhang Ji's army, which had been deliberately preserving its strength, showed its hideous fangs at this moment. First of all, there was a rocket attack, and a group of people on the wall of Shouchun City turned over on their backs, and under the night sky that was illuminated by the rocket rain that seemed to be daylight, the infantry of Zhang Ji's army swarmed up, and hit the wall of Shouchun City like a stormy wave, as if to raze Shouchun City to the ground. Just when Zhang Ji's army began to attack the city in an orderly manner, the walls of Shouchun City were already in chaos. Many soldiers were ignited by the phosphorus fire on the rocket, and they ran like crazy on the walls of Shouchun City, in the midst of a ghost crying wolf and shouting for their mothers. It's like rotten wood being blown down by an autumn wind. Crashed to the ground, letting out a sigh of death.

I can't blame anyone else about this. In the final analysis, it is Liu Xuan's responsibility. Since Liu Miao and Xu Ji broke up and threw themselves into Cao Cao, Liu Miao didn't want to know about all the people and things in Yanzhou, if someone mentioned it, Liu Miao would be even more furious, even Cao Cao was no exception, Cao Cao was helpless in the face of this, so the Yanzhou army has been changing weapons and equipment over the years. Liu Miao didn't know much.

Now the other princes more or less knew that the Yanzhou army had many ways to attack the city. And there are a lot of whimsical weapons, which are shocking, and although there is no effective way to deal with them, they also have some experiences. He would never be like Liu Xuan, who arrogantly placed his soldiers on the city wall like arrow targets, without even a shield. Who doesn't know that the range of the Yanzhou army's bow and crossbow is far beyond the imagination of the world?

But Liu Miao didn't know about rockets. I didn't know that the Divine Arm Bow would have a projectile shooting method, so after encountering a rocket. Liu Xuan's army was completely unable to resist, and in an instant, he lost his command.

Liu Xuan, who heard the news, stood in a relatively safe place on the city wall with an iron face. Qingpan said violently: "Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?" But no one around him answered, and after a long while, a brave soldier trembled at Liu Xuan: "Lord, this is probably the weapon used by the Yanzhou army to attack the city, so the brothers can't stop it." ”

Liu Miao turned his head, looked at the pro-soldier, and shouted in disbelief: "Impossible! Zhang Ji's army is all Xiliang soldiers. Where are they going to get the weapons of the Yanzhou Army, unless they ......"

When Liu Ji said this, he seemed to suddenly realize, and exclaimed: "Could it be that Zhang Ji was originally Xu Ji's person?" If this is the case, then this war ......" Countless thoughts flashed in Liu Xuan's heart in an instant, and for a while, his thoughts were rushing, like chaos, but Liu Xuan had one thing that he could be sure; Probably Cao Cao was on Xu Jidi.

No, Cao Cao must be notified of this matter.

This was Liu Miao's first reaction, and then Liu Miao's order to abandon the city and escape.

And at this time, Liu Miao heard the panicked shouts of his soldiers: "The Yanzhou army has broken the city." At this time, Zhang Ji and Lu Xun were standing outside the south gate of Shouchun City, and the two of them were smiling and laughing, looking particularly leisurely in the shadow of the sword and sword.

Lu Xun was more like a leisurely stroll, constantly issuing some orders that seemed to be random, but in fact they were just the right priorities in his conversation with Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji's eyes were full of appreciation, and he smiled at Lu Xun: "You kid, you have no last resort at a young age, can you pay it back in the future?" I don't think Mr. Wenhe has the same level as you when you were your age. Lu Xun said modestly: "How dare the kid compare with Mr. Jia Xu?" Before the lord entered Chang'an, the Chang'an region was completely controlled by Mr. Jia Xu alone, and he was like a fish in water between Wang Yun and the warlords in the northwest. ”

After a pause, Lu Xun said again: "What's more, the kid's meager achievements today are directly related to the education he received, Yanzhou Academy is really the most able place in the world to train people, there is really a Wolong and Tibetan Tiger, take out any one has its own merits, it is said that people gather by like, things are grouped, it is precisely because of this good environment that the boy will have the opportunity to advance by leaps and bounds." Zhang Ji nodded and sighed: "The ancients had a saying: 'Lotus is born in hemp, and you don't help yourself', which is indeed insightful. ”

Lu Xun nodded and smiled: "So, if Mr. Jia Xu has such an opportunity as me, I am afraid that it will be much more powerful than now." What's more, if it comes to the outstanding figures of the new generation in Yanzhou, Deng Ai, who is deeply loved by the lord, may be called the dragon and phoenix among the people. What is my little way? ”

Zhang Ji's eyes flashed with surprise. I couldn't help but ask: "I often hear our Yanzhou generals talk about Deng Ai. Is this son really so outstanding? Lu Xun said solemnly: "According to what the teacher said, I have also seen it with my own eyes. He is ten times as good as me. ”

Zhang Jihuo was moved, he didn't expect Lu Xun to respect Xu Ji so much, and when he was about to speak, he heard the soldiers report: "General, military advisor, Shouchun City is at your fingertips, Liu Miao led a part of the army to the north of the city." ”

Zhang Ji looked at Lu Xun and said with a smile: "It seems that Liu Xun abandoned the city and fled, I really can't hide anything from you kid." Lu Xun smiled and said, "Then let's go into the city." It is more comfortable to sit and wait for the good news of General Lei Bo than to be blown through by the night breeze now. ”

Zhang Ji laughed when he heard this, and he was extremely happy.

The two entered the city leisurely amid shouts and killings. In the blink of an eye. Shouchun City fell into the hands of the Yanzhou army. The fall of Shouchun City into the hands of the Yanzhou army marked that many cities on the north bank of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou were all exposed to the threat of the Yanzhou army, and Lujiang, Chengde, Tuzhong, Tutang, Liyang, Juchao, Chaoxian, Hefei, Hengjiang and other places all became places that Yanzhou could threaten to capture.

More importantly, Zhang Ji's army could set out from Hongze Lake at any time to assist Xun You's army in capturing Guangling and other places. It can be said that Zhang Ji's army won a complete victory, and only Liu Ji was left to capture him alive. Of course, it depends on Lei Bo's ability.

Liu Miao came out of Beicheng. He led the army straight to the river, and now his only choice was to cross the river and arrive at Xia Cai, where he would join Zhang Ying's army to plan for the future.

It's a pity that Liu Miao forgot the basic common sense in the siege war in a panic. The purpose of besieging the city on three sides is to capture the opponent's main general alive. Zhang Ji's army successfully attacked tonight and captured Shouchun. But it doesn't mean that he will let go of his defeated army, which is like a lost dog. Fish that slipped through the net. While they were on the march, they came to a wooded place near the river. Suddenly, there were shouts of killing, and countless torches lit up from the trees.

A burst of crossbow arrows rang out. The soldiers in front screamed and fell in pools of blood, and the undead were still struggling, struggling to survive.

Liu Xuan's head buzzed and the words became big.

Oops. I was ambushed. Liu Miao looked around anxiously, and he didn't know how many people were defending him, and before he could make any reaction, an army rushed out of the woods, and the soldiers in front of him were all armed with swords and crossbows, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, easily tearing through the defense line of Liu Xuan's army.

Immediately, a group of Yanzhou troops armed with spears and bows and shields behind their backs rushed out. They rushed into Liu Xuan's army that had just organized a slight resistance at the highest speed, and the huge shouts of killing poured into Liu Xuan's ears like a shocking wave. It made Liu Miao dizzy and at a loss. The whole body was even more prostrated and powerless by the other party's amazing murderous aura, and he was unwilling to move a single inch.

Suddenly, a strong force came, Liu Miao fell under the horse, and in the dizziness, Liu Miao felt that his clothes were stripped off.

"Lord, the situation is too dangerous now, you better change into our clothes and escape." The anxious voice of a pro-soldier was heard. Liu Miao was like a puppet and was messed around by his own soldiers.

At this time, Liu Xuandi's soldiers also desperately opened a bloody road and escorted Liu Xuan away.

Liu Xuan, supported by several of his own soldiers, rushed towards the river.

I don't know how long it took, but the shouting behind me gradually lowered. Liu Miao only heard some other sounds at this time, and when he listened carefully, he realized that it was his violent wheezing. Loud and rapid, as if he would lose his breath in the next moment.

A sense of frustration that the general trend has gone spreads in Liu Xuan's heart.

All this is thanks to Xu Ji.

Liu Miao hated a lot in his heart. While thinking about it, the group had already come to bring the riverside, but there were no boats there.

Liu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and said anxiously: "I obviously stopped a lot of ships here, why are they all missing at this time?" ”

The pro-soldiers looked at Liu with an idiotic look, and their eyes were full of sympathy.

One of the soldiers said to Liu Gongsheng: "Lord, the army just now is also the Yanzhou army in terms of equipment, and I think this army is from the other side of the river, if they come across the river, how can they leave us warships?" When Liu Miao heard this, he was like a deflated ball. No more speech.

At this time, I don't know who shouted: "You see, there seems to be a small boat there." "The spirits of the crowd were lifted. When I looked up, I saw a small boat standing there. It's just small, and these people may not be able to sit down all of them.

Liu Miao was overjoyed. He said in a loud voice: "Quickly occupy and drag that boat in for me." The soldiers were ordered to go.

In a short time, the boat was already on the river. Liu Miao was the first to jump on the boat. His men also boarded the boat and barely loaded.

There were two soldiers who did not want to get on board. I was afraid that the boat would be overturned, but Liu Miao didn't allow it, so in desperation, the two personal soldiers got on the boat.

Perhaps this is Liu Xuan's only advantage, that is, he treats his subordinates extremely sincerely, otherwise how can he win the love of his subordinates, and even serve his life in this moment of crisis. The boat swayed. Paddle into the middle of the river,

Frightened, Liu Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and the evening breeze on the river also lifted his spirits, so he began to think about how to retaliate against Xu Ji in the future.

However, there is one thing that Liu Miao is a little afraid of, that is, the sudden appearance of the Yanzhou army and the unexpected siege of Zhang Jijun are completely different from Cao Cao's expectations, could there be something wrong with this? No, I must go back and tell Cao Cao about these strange things today. This thought flashed through Liu Xuan's heart.

It's a pity that Liu Miao didn't have this opportunity.

At this moment, the boat suddenly shook violently, and the whole person on board turned pale with fright, and clinged to the side of the boat.

Although these soldiers all came from Yanzhou with Liu Xuan, several of them were fishermen. Naturally, they are familiar with water, but in this situation now, these people are not afraid of turning over and falling into the water. was afraid that he would be caught after falling into the water, but this time God did not help Liu Xuan. In a short time, the boat capsized.

Everyone fell into the water. As soon as he sank below the surface of the water, countless people immediately surrounded him.

Liu Miao's personal soldiers resisted desperately, but they were just sacrificed in vain.

Liu Miao had already been flooded by the river. A mouthful of precipitation was like a bee seeing a flower, wantonly surging into Liu Xuan's mouth. The more Liu Miao wanted to call. The more he couldn't scream, the river began to rage in Liu Xuan's stomach. Liu couldn't open his eyes, his hands and feet were constantly bending and stretching, trying to grasp something, even if it was just a life-saving straw that could last a while.

Meng De save me......

This was Liu Xuan's last meaning before he fell into a coma. At this time, he did not forget to ask Cao Cao for help, which shows how desperate Liu Miao is for Cao Cao.

When Liu Xuan woke up, he found that he was lying on a bed, his body had been changed into dry clothes, and several little maids in front of the bed were taking care of themselves.

Why do these little maids look so familiar? Liu Xuanyang thought groggily, and finally remembered: Aren't these all the maids in his house? I fled Shouchun City in a hurry, of course, I didn't have time to take them away.

It's just that why did it appear in front of his eyes again?

"Lord Liu Xuan, are you awake?" A sleek-sounding but smart voice sounded in Liu Xuan's ears. Liu Miao turned his head and saw the person who spoke at a glance, and when he was sober, Guo Lai was shocked and said: "Zhang Ji! It turned out to be you, the villain. ”

After that, Liu Miao wanted to stand up, but at this time, Liu Mian's hands and feet were weak, how could he leave?

Zhang Ji smiled and stepped forward, stretched out his hands and pressed on Liu Xuan's shoulders, let Liu Xuan lie down, and said indifferently: "The sages said well, if you come, you will be safe, why should Lord Liu Xuan be like this?" Liu Ji's face, full of indignation, snorted angrily: "Senior Zhang Ji, I really mistook you, I didn't expect you to be Xu Ji's person." ”

Zhang Ji smiled slightly, and before he could answer, a person stood up beside him, without asking, of course, it was Lu Xun, this kid said leisurely: "Lord Liu Xuan's eyesight is indeed not good, not only did he see the wrong General Zhang Ji, but also the wrong Lord Sikong, the wrong Cao Mengde, and the wrong situation in the world, but it is not too late to make amends." Lord Liu Xuan, please take a good rest, and I will meet with Lord Sikong in the near future. Liu Miao heard this, looked at Lu Xun who was talking eloquently, and didn't ask who this kid was, why he spoke so angrily, so he said angrily: "Where is Xu Ji?" Don't you have the face to see me, Liu Xuan? ”

Lu Xun shook his head and said: "Young Master Liu is a little restless, Lord Sikong is busy cleaning up Cao Mengde now, and when he is busy for a while, he will naturally come to see Gongzi." ”

Liu Ji showed a sarcastic smile on his face, and sneered loudly: "Xu Ji wants to deal with Meng De, let's dream again in the next life!" Hmph, Meng De has a thousand means to deal with Xu Ji this time! Lu Xun laughed when he heard this, interrupting Liu Xuan, with a strong and confident smile on his face, as if everything in the world was in my hands, and said to Liu Xuan with high spirits: "Is the adult talking about Chang'an?" Wang Tu, Wang Ze, Lai Yan'er, and Yu Ji have all been subdued, and Cao Mengde's strategy in Chang'an has been seen through by my lord long before it began. ”

When Liu Xun heard this, his body was shocked, and he looked at Lu Xun in disbelief Lu Xun looked at Liu Xun who was lying on the bed, and quipped: "It was Mr. Xu Shu's strategy to prevent the Yanzhou army from fighting back, in order to lure Cao Cao's army to go deep alone." ”

Liu Xuan couldn't believe what he heard all this, and he was stupid for a while.

And Zhang Ji was satisfied and smiled at Lu Xun.

captured Liu Miao alive, and this mission was successfully completed. (To be continued......)
