The first battle of blocking the sun, the name of Lejin, shocked the world.

Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe it's providence, Xiahoudun's injury, the special battle situation, gave him a chance to play, and he also bloomed his own light!

At the same time, the name of another person also entered the ears of various forces.

He is Liao Li!

Liao Li from Gongyuan, a native of Linyuan, Wuling County, is as famous as Pang Tong in history, recommended to Liu Bei for Zhuge Liang, and is deeply respected, but he thinks very highly of himself, full of arrogance, and tastes the ability of others, after Liu Bei's death, he thinks that his talent is second only to Zhuge Liang, and he should be higher than everyone else, but in fact, he is under Li Yan and others, and he is resentful in his heart.

So much so that later, he began to talk about long and short, not only those juniors, but even the old ministers who followed Liu Bei in the early years, and even Liu Bei himself was shot and was wantonly accused.

Of course, this act angered everyone, and he was finally exiled by Liu Chan.

It's just that Liao Li has always maintained a glimmer of hope, counting on Zhuge Liang, who likes talents, to enable him again, until Zhuge Liang died of illness, he finally despaired, and cried bitterly and angrily!

Of course, Wang Xu had heard of this person's reputation in Xiangyang, but he knew history very well, and he was very displeased with this person.

In fact, Guo Jia, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others also saw that he was outstanding in talent and was proficient in both civil and military affairs, so they let him go to a heavy place like Wancheng to be a county commander, and the position of a small county commander naturally did not need to be reported to Wang Xu to know, after all, now that Chu has a vast territory, how can it be that everything is done by Wang Xu himself.

I didn't expect it. This directly caused the loss of Wancheng. became an Achilles heel.

Liao Li's nature does not change. After making the county order, although Wan County was properly governed and his political achievements were outstanding, he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, and he also resented Wang Xu's disdain for him.

This matter has long been known to Cao Jun, and when Xi Zhicai faced Wang Xu's Northern Expedition, he thought of a plan and sent someone to invite him with heavy benefits. Make it promise to be inside and out.

The reason why Xi Zhicai sued Xiahou Tang and hoped that he would try his best to delay Wang Xu in Duyang for seven days was to prepare for this plan.

And he did!

When Zhang He attacked Pheasant County, Xiahou Yuan showed up a few times to paralyze everyone, and then left Zhang Xiu to defend the city alone, and he quietly left with more than ten guards at night, and returned to Luyang County, and took the soldiers who had long been ready to go around and abandon all the supplies. Walking day and night, running in the wilderness.

Originally, Xiahoudun was seriously injured. Ling Xingshì turned sharply, but he didn't expect Le Jin to shine, completely attracting the attention of Wang Xu's army, and also bought enough time.

Huo Du is not at fault! Not only that, as the defender of Wancheng, he fought to the last moment, and he was even more heroic and a hero!

After all, when there are enemies inside and outside, and the defenders don't know anything, no matter who it is, it will be the same result.

Knowing the cause and effect, Wang Xu's anger dissipated most of it, and more became worried, so he didn't care about talking to Zhou Zhiduo, so he immediately went to Guo Jia, Xu Shu, and Chen Deng to discuss.

At the same time, Zhang He, who was far away in the city of Pheasant County, also got the news and was shocked.

His current location is under the city of Pheasant County, and Wancheng is in the south, and the distance is not too far, and at this moment he is equal to being sandwiched in the middle, how can he not be in a hurry.

Almost without much thought, Wang Ling and Chen were summoned immediately.

"General Zhang, if according to the war report, then we must rush to the aid of Xi'e County as soon as possible!" Wang Ling's eyes were slightly anxious, and his heart was uneasy.

"Not bad!" Chen Zhi took over the words and said worriedly: "Now Zhang Xiu of Pheasant County is stubbornly defending, and Wancheng is lost in the rear, this Xi'e county is sandwiched between the two places, the distance is very close, and it is a supply place for hoarding materials, if we do not occupy this place in time, we will fall into a greater crisis." ”

"How many guards are there in Xi'e?" Zhang He's eyes were solemn and looked at Chen Dao.

"Only five hundred!" Chen Zhi's face was gloomy. "Because he didn't expect Wancheng to be lost, the last general only arranged 500 soldiers in Xi'e to maintain vigilance."

When the words fell, Zhang He didn't think about it, and spoke directly: "General Wang, you immediately lead 5,000 cavalry to Xi'e, you must be fast!" ”

"Good!"

The shape was severe, Wang Ling didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Chen also understood what to do at this moment, and took the initiative to ask for orders at the moment: "After the last general led his troops to break off, General Zhang led the main force and logistics personnel to go first. ”

He glanced at Chen Zhi deeply, and Zhang Ji did not twist it.

"Good!"

Wang Ling ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses, and then set off and galloped straight to the south of Xi'e.

West Eng is a large county, because it is located on the main road, it is close to Wancheng, so it is very prosperous, and the city wall is relatively high.

When Wang Ling arrived with his troops and saw the head of Xi'e City from a distance, his face changed, and he turned black.

"Hahaha......" The laughter came, and a member of the city was majestic, it was Xiahou Yuan, who looked at it for a while, and asked loudly: "Your Excellency is Zhang He?" ”

"I am Taiyuan Wang Ling!"

"It's your rebel!" Xiahou Yuan originally thought it was Zhang He, and his tone was quite proud, but when he heard that it was Wang Ling, he was instantly furious.

"Hmph, good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the lord to serve! I follow the Lord, sweep the world, and make contributions to the people, how can I rebel! ”

Wang Ling roared angrily, not weakening his momentum at all.

"Nonsense!" Xiahou Yuan was even more angry, but the feelings he showed were not so excited. "No matter how much you quibble, a traitor, the defeat is already doomed, and it will not be a few days before you will be beheaded."

"If you have the ability, you can come and get it!"

Wang Ling didn't care about his cruel words, and quickly thought about how to deal with the current shape in his mind.

Now this Xiahou Yuan is moving extremely fast, and he has taken the county seat of Xi'e first, which directly means that the entire Eastern Army has lost its foundation, as if he is a rootless wanderer, his heart is actually too anxious, but as a general, he can't show it, otherwise the soldiers behind him will be chaotic.

"Withdraw!"

In the end, Wang Ling failed to think of how to change the current situation, so he could only choose to reflexively join the main army and think about it in the long run.

The tens of thousands of people of the Eastern Legion were almost in a desperate situation at this time, and they were wiped out in front and behind, except for the grain and grass carried by the troops, they would not have any supplies in a short time.

When Zhang He saw Wang Ling, before Wang Ling could speak, he felt that his eyes were black and he almost fainted on the spot.

"General Zhang, go east to Bowang! There are thousands of defenders there, and they should not be lost yet, no matter what, let the soldiers settle down and settle down first. Wang Ling reluctantly persuaded him.

"Turn east and go to Bowang!" Zhang Heqiang spit out these words, he understood that going to Bowang meant giving up.

There are thousands of defenders in Bowang County, but because of the direct front line, there are not many materials left, and these tens of thousands of troops will not be able to support it for long, let alone want to recapture Wancheng and Western Hubei.

"General Zhang, do you want to send someone to inform the lord?" Wang Ling hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

Zhang He's face flashed with shame, as if he was ashamed of his current situation, but he was not a person who shirked responsibility, sighed, and spit out a word with difficulty: "Report!" ”

Before the start of this war, no one expected that the battle situation in Nanyang would develop like this.

Cao Jun did not expect that Xiahoudun would be injured, did not expect that Duyang would be lost, and the soldiers of Chu did not expect the fatal blow of Wancheng.

The only thing that is fortunate is that the plan discussed by Wang Xu and Guo Jia and others has not been disrupted because of this, because the so-called Northern Expedition is simply a disguise, if you really want to give the whole operation a name, then ...... Should be......

Go East!

When Nanyang was in chaos, Si Li's side was actually ready, and the White Tiger Legion stationed in Hongnong, under the leadership of Zhang Liao, marched eastward with great momentum, quickly approaching Hangu Pass in Luoyang...... (To be continued......)
