Chapter 881: Ambush
As if a tacit understanding had been formed, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's army directly entered the hinterland of Yizhou, while Pang Shiyuan's soldiers and horses went directly to Jingzhou.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's army marched to Jiangzhou, and there were not many soldiers and horses in Yizhou, and there were only more than 1,000 defenders in Jiangzhou City.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue camped during the day and marched at night, so they quickly deceived the defenders of Jiangzhou and walked towards the mansion in Yizhou.
"Report, General Cai Hong and others are back!" There was a herald over there to report it.
"Oh, summon in!" Cai Mao said to his subordinates that Cai Hong was the commander sent by Cai Mao to stop Pang Shiyuan from chasing the soldiers and horses.
"Yes!"
"The last general, Cai Hong, has seen the head of the family!" A middle-aged military general walked in.
"No courtesy, have Pang Shiyuan's soldiers and horses chased after him along the way?!" Cai Mao wanted to know if Pang Shiyuan had already chased after him.
They want to go to meet Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, but they don't want to be chased by Pang Shiyuan all the way behind their butts.
"Didn't chase it!" Cai Hong shook his head at Cai Mao over there.
"That's good!" Cai Mao also nodded, he was really afraid that this Pang Shiyuan would catch up like a mad dog, a few days ago, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue took the initiative to send troops just to hurt Pang Shiyuan over there so that he didn't dare to pursue.
Cai Hong told Cai Mao about the bluff of delaying the army, the camp tent that was not withdrawn, and those stoves, at least blocked Pang Shiyuan's efforts for two days, and it was impossible for Pang Shiyuan to pursue even if he wanted to!
couldn't help but feel joy on Cai Mao's face.
"But!" Cai Hong hesitated again.
"But what?!" Cai Mao asked suspiciously, as long as Pang Shiyuan didn't chase after him now, then they would be able to reach Jianning in peace. Now Cai Mao is in a good place. That's where Zhang Ren was in a hurry before. Here you can go directly to the Jianning generation.
"However, not only did Pang Shiyuan not pursue, on the contrary, he seemed to have withdrawn his troops!" Cai Hong also stayed there for two days before coming back, and the actions of Pang Shiyuan's army over there couldn't hide Cai Hong.
In the Yongan generation, Pang Shiyuan left 10,000 troops and Zhang Fei here, in order to block the import and export of Yizhou.
Now Pang Shiyuan himself has indeed returned to Jingzhou with the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
"Could it be that something happened in Jingzhou?!" Cai Mao frowned and wondered, if something happened in Jingzhou. Is it a mutiny? Or something else, so that Pang Shiyuan can transfer troops back.
"Liu Pan's remnants have long been wiped out by Huang Jie, and Huang Zhu was killed by Pang Shiyuan, and the Huang family's soldiers and horses have long been shattered, as for Huang Zu! Does the current Huang Zu still have the heart to make a comeback! A bitter sigh came in.
"Xenodimension!" Cai Mao saw that it was Kuai Yue who walked in.
Cai Mao was about to tell Kuai Yue about Cai Hong's words, but Kuai Yue waved his hand, indicating that he already knew.
"Pang Shiyuan's return to Jingzhou is nothing more than anything else, the first is that the army of His Royal Highness the King of Han in Yangzhou has entered Jingzhou! Pang Shiyuan had to return for help. Kuai Yue explained to Cai Mao.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han has invaded Jingzhou? If that's the case. So why did this Pang Shiyuan leave Zhang Fei behind?! "Zhang Fei is a rare warrior under Liu Bei, such a strong combat power. How could Liu Bei be willing to be left in Yong'an County?
"Then there's only one other possibility!" Kuai Yue continued.
Kuai Yue hadn't finished speaking, and Cai Mao over there also jumped up, "Pang Shiyuan is going to attack my Nanyang County!" "Cai Mao's brain is also fast enough.
This Pang Shiyuan transferred troops and horses back to Jingzhou, if not for defense, but for attack, and the one in Jingzhou that was not under Liu Bei's control was Nanyang County.
"That's right!" Kuai Yue also nodded, he also underestimated this Pang Shiyuan, "This Pang Shiyuan wants to block us in Yizhou, no matter what we do, he wants to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, as long as Nanyang County is won, you and my foundation will be finished!" Kuai Yue also smiled bitterly twice.
This Pang Shiyuan is really vicious, he either doesn't do anything, or he wants to do it as a desperate strategy, and now he Kuai Yue and Cai Mao have kept the entire tens of thousands of elites by their side.
There were only 20,000 elite soldiers of the Xiangyang Navy who remained in Nanyang County.
Before such soldiers and horses, Liu Bei may not be able to drink Nanyang County, how can Liu Bei's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses be able to take down Nanyang County, which has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
But now with the fat in the hands of the Yuan Shen, the soldiers and horses of the yellow shot, it is different.
It is really possible that Nanyang County will be captured by Liu Bei.
"Then what are we waiting for, without further ado, family master, let's go back to Nanyang immediately!" On the side, De Cai Hong was also in a hurry, this was copied to his hometown, and if he didn't go back, he couldn't go back.
"It's too late!" Not to mention that they have already passed Jiangzhou, even if they are still in Yongnan County, it is difficult for them to walk through the place where Zhang Fei has a 10,000-strong army, even if they defeat Zhang Fei, this time is enough for Pang Shiyuan and Liu Bei to take Nanyang County! ”
"Are we just going to sit and watch, then Liu Bei will seize our inheritance?!" Cai Hong was also annoyed, his family was still in Nanyang County.
"We can't go, but it's impossible for Pang Shiyuan and Liu Bei to take Nanyang County!" Kuai Yue has his own self-confidence.
"Then there are only 20,000 elite soldiers in Nanyang County!" Cai Hong was anxious, you must know that Nanyang County has twenty-eight county seats, 20,000 troops, it seems like a lot, if it is assigned one by one, there are more than 1,000 people in a county town, and in the end, Zhang Yun, the commander of the Nanyang garrison, can only protect Nanyang County, and other places are difficult to hold.
"Brother Desi, do you remember those armors and swords you bought from Yangzhou!" Kuai Yue looked at Cai Mao over there.
"There are more than 20,000 knives left!" Kuai Yue said secretly.
This batch of war knives was originally purchased by Huang Jie from Yangzhou, and Cai Mao and Kuai Yue made a lot of money as middlemen.
"Xeno, Xeno, what else are you hiding from me!" Cai Mao shook his head, he was almost confused by Kuai Yue now.
"Haha, Brother Desi. In addition to contacting His Royal Highness King Han before. The others didn't hide it from you, Brother Desi! Kuai Yue said with a smile.
Yangzhou. 20,000 swords and 20,000 armor were sent, because more than 20,000 Yangzhou troops had already infiltrated into this Nanyang County.
They were the porters of the port, or the bodyguards of the caravans, or the men who helped transport the weapons.
And once these individuals are going to use them in Yangzhou, they put on armor and hold weapons, and I am a group of elite Yangzhou soldiers.
They all belong to the same place, that is, the Yangtze River Naval Army Camp in Yangzhou.
Cai Mao couldn't help but feel terrible. If he hadn't figured it out before, he would be willing to join the command of Liu Mang, the Han King of Yangzhou.
I'm afraid it's hard to say that my Nanyang is not my own now.
This Kuai Yue, Kuai Xenodu, Cai Mao hates him so much.
……
"Strategist, hard work, hard work!" Outside Xiangyang, fifty miles away, Pang Shiyuan's army had not yet arrived in Xiangyang City, and someone over there told Pang Shiyuan that the lord was waiting for the military division in the long pavilion fifty miles away early.
Wait until Pang Shiyuan walked to the long pavilion there. When he saw Liu Bei who was wet on his body, his eyes immediately turned red.
"This is how the lord treats ten dollars. It's hard to talk about! Pang Shiyuan said with red eyes.
"Haha, Wu Zhi Han Shinya!" Liu Bei can be regarded as high-spirited now that he has won Jingzhou, so his opening is different, Han Xin was another thick-skinned figure in the Liu family, Liu Bang, the top military advisor of Liu Gangsters.
If there is no Han Xin, then Liu Bang will not be able to get the world of the Han Dynasty.
Now Liu Bei actually compared Pang Shiyuan to Han Xin, so it is clear what he compares himself to.
"Lord, it's freezing this day, the lord's golden body, if it's hurt, it's not good!" Pang Shiyuan asked with concern,
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a light rain, as long as the military advisor returns, it's all worth it!" Liu Bei has to say that he is an Oscar-winning actor-level figure, obviously there is enough place to keep the rain in the long pavilion, but Liu Bei still insists on getting wet in the rain.
Seeing that Liu Bei was going to get drenched in the rain, the other subordinates naturally didn't dare to hide from the rain by themselves, so they were all soup chickens with Liu Bei.
It's just that Liu Bei, a chicken in the soup, is to buy people's hearts, but they are accompanying their sons to study, and they are not wronged.
"This version of the army of the military division?!" Liu Bei inquired about Pang Shiyuan, although Pang Shiyuan also told Liu Bei a little in the letter, but after all, it still needs to be discussed face-to-face.
"Shi Yuan is ashamed that he was unable to defeat Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's soldiers and horses, nor was he able to persuade them to surrender!" Pang Shiyuan apologized to Liu Bei.
"Where, Shi Yuan can do this, I am already very happy, as for them, even if they are sent to my hands, I may not be able to look at them, why bother with it!" Liu Bei was appeasing De Pang Shiyuan on the side.
Pang Shiyuan nodded and stood up: "This Cai Mao and Kuai Yue led the army into the hinterland of Jingzhou, I don't know why they went!" However, it also gives us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if this version of the strategy is successful, then in Jingzhou, the lord is really a man of his word! De Pang Shiyuan said to the six glasses of water.
Liu Bei naturally knew what Pang Shiyuan was talking about! That is to take Nanyang County.
"How sure are the military advisors?!" Liu Bei looked at Pang Shiyuan with glittering eyes.
This Nanyang County has long been under Liu Bei's purpose, the whole Jingzhou, this Liu Bei is really a character, under his family visits, as well as his false benevolence and righteousness to the people, he actually bought a group of Jingzhou people's hearts, and also let Liu Bei slowly take over the entire Jingzhou.
As for those who oppose him or have opposing opinions, they have all disappeared from this world.
Under the pretext that it was the "remnants of the yellow shooting", a team of "remnants of the yellow shooting" was sent to wait for these "remnants of the yellow shooting" to kill those who stood in front of Liu Bei, and Liu Bei would come out again to uphold justice, find a few scapegoats, and kill the people over there.
In this way, there are fewer people who oppose Liu Bei, and more of a figure who is on both sides of the wall.
In the end, there is only one Nanyang County left, if Nanyang County can be taken, then in the entire Jingzhou, he Liu Bei will really be full of words.
Liu Bei is so unhappy.
"Eighty percent!" Pang Shiyuan said to Liu Bei.
Eighty percent of the chance of winning, that is Pang Shiyuan after calculating everything about Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, as for twenty percent of this midsummer, that is some variables. It must be said that Cai Mao and Kuai Yue broke through the Yong'an County generation of Zhang Fei's handle, in that case, he Pang Shiyuan would not have the slightest way.
"Good! So obey the gentleman! Liu Bei said to Pang Shiyuan, Liu Bei can be regarded as 100% believing in Pang Shiyuan.
Because without Pang Shiyuan, there might not be him Liu Bei's current appearance.
What's more, the military power in Pang Shiyuan's hands is much greater than that in Liu Bei's hands, such a person is still willing to be behind you, Liu Bei will listen to Pang Shiyuan no matter what he says.
"Thank you so much, my lord!" Pang Shiyuan nodded, he took out a map, which was marked with Nanyang County, and there was all the hydrological knowledge of Nanyang County. For example, how high the place is, the paths in this place, and where the waterways are.
It can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Pang Shiyuan has an army of 20,000 in his hands, and he has expanded all the recruits, and finally there are more than 30,000 on the side, and Liu Bei's hands have also changed from more than 10,000 people to 40,000 people, and the total number of them is 70,000 troops.
Now an army of 70,000 has surrounded the entire Nanyang County.
Among the twenty-six counties in Nanyang, twenty cities fell in one day.
There are only six cities left that are struggling with needles.
"All on alert! All the gates of Nanyang County are only in and out! Take turns guarding the castle towers! Be careful in this life! "In Nanyang County, the only supervisor left is Zhang Yun.
Cai Mao's brother-in-law, Zhang Yun's ability is still there, if he fights in the water, this man who has been dealing with the Yangtze River and water all the year round is the best candidate.
As for the current commander of Nanyang County, it is more than enough. "Yes!" As soon as Pang Shiyuan's army returned, there was a message among the Nanyang army, that is, the new Jingzhou Muzhou Mu was now going to take back Nanyang County.
Therefore, all of them in Nanyang County are nervous. Don't dare to slack off at all, because Nanyang County is their last line of defense.
In Nanyang County, Zhang Yun had a headache, you asked him to go to a water fight, he may know the slightest point, but you let him take a group of soldiers and horses to prepare for the war, that is to make Zhang Yun embarrassed.
At the beginning, Zhang Yun lost Nanyang County, which was also because Zhang Yun couldn't plan as a whole.
"Fifteen thousand troops!" Zhang Yun frowned, these 15,000 soldiers and horses can't all be taken out, there must be a reserve, after deducting 5,000 people, then there will be 10,000 left, and 2,500 people at one city gate. (To be continued......)
