Chapter 882 takes Yuzhou
Liu Bei and Pang Shiyuan sent troops to Nanyang County?!
As soon as Liu Bei's army arrived in Nanyang County, news came from Nanyang County.
"This Pang Shiyuan is really calculating!" The people of Yangzhou naturally discussed the countermeasures together.
This Pang Shiyuan let Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's army leave, in order to join forces with Liu Bei to take Nanyang County first, and after eliminating Zhang Yun's soldiers and horses in Nanyang County, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue had no foundation, and he Liu Bei was able to unify the overall situation of Jingzhou.
Now Liu Bei is poor and crazy, if he wants to expand the army quickly, then he must be reckless, but large-scale recruitment requires money and food.
The foundation left by Huang Jie was not enough for Liu Bei at all, but he got a lot from those scholars, and now Liu Bei has put his idea on Cai Mao and Kuaiyue's Nanyang County.
Liu Mang did not have no soldiers and horses in Nanyang County, and sent nearly 20,000 troops in Nanyang County.
They are all infiltrating in the name of a trading house.
With them, Pang Shiyuan didn't want to break into Nanyang County at all.
But once the grass is startled, Liu Bei's army retreats and blocks the Yangtze River, and it will be difficult to eliminate Liu Bei. When the time comes, the offensive and defensive battles will be fought, and the loss will be Yangzhou.
Now that Liu Bei is out of Xiangyang City, Liu Mang will not let him go back so easily.
"Since he Liu Bei's army has come out, then don't go back!" Liu Mang looked at the group of strategists under him with glittering eyes and said to everyone.
"Your Highness, this Liu Bei's army is from the Xiangyang generation. The land and water routes marched together, which caught Zhang Yun's army off guard! Lu Su on the side looked at Nanyang County on this map and said to Liu Mang over there.
If this Liu Bei is just taking the waterway, then this is really making Zhang Yun happy. Because most of Zhang Yun's subordinates are water armies, aren't you looking for a draw when you go by water!
And if you take the land route, the speed is too slow and you need to make a detour, and after such a long detour to send troops, Zhang Yun may have already discovered it, and Zhang Yun will not wait until the seventeen or eighteen cities under his hands are lost to react and shrink the defense line.
Pang Shiyuan's army, a small number of people and horses, took the waterway. pulled out several of Zhang Yun's eyeliners, and the land that the large army walked was able to unite by water. The soldiers are coming to the city.
"Your Highness, this Pang Shiyuan is really a master of soldiers!" Tian Feng and the others also spoke, they didn't know Pang Shiyuan before Liu Mang and Pang Shiyuan fought. Now see the layout of Pang Shiyuan's army on this map. Tian Feng, a top strategist who has experienced countless battles, has to say that this person is talented.
"The three-way army is showing the trend of horns, facing Fancheng, the county town of Nanyang, in order to take Fancheng, once the three-way army encounters the enemy all the way, it will be able to protect itself, and it will be able to catch turtles in the urn!" This Pang Shiyuan laid a big pocket outside Fancheng, and he was also more than able to advance and retreat.
surrounded Fancheng on three sides, and it can be said that Zhang Yun can't escape.
can only wait for Liu Bei's army to attack. Guarding the city wall, Zhang Yun was able to hold on for a while. If Zhang Yun can't think of it for a while and wants to break through, then the last remaining side is the entrance of the pocket, once he Zhang Yun gives up Fancheng, he will be planted into Pang Shiyuan's pocket.
"Lord, it's easy to defeat Liu Bei's army, but it's difficult to annihilate them!" After the strategist Wenchen finished speaking, the veteran staff officers on the side also spoke.
The first person to speak was Huang Gai, a veteran, who has been suspended in the staff office since he joined Yangzhou.
The current position of staff officer is comparable to that of a third-grade officer.
He is also a teacher at Yangzhou Military Academy.
Although Huang Gai is no longer on the battlefield, he still has a lot of experience on the battlefield, and he can see Pang Shiyuan's layout at a glance.
Behind Pang Shiyuan is the Yangtze River, it can be said that he can attack Fancheng, even if he retreats, he can also retreat to the Yangtze River, and under the cover of the three-way army alternately, it is difficult to annihilate them at all.
"This is not Pang Shiyuan's style!" The only one present who was familiar with Pang Shiyuan was Xu Shu, and there was a Zhuge village woman before, but now this Zhuge villager has not returned, or rather, he doesn't dare to come back.
I heard that Ma Chao's sister accidentally slept with him, there was already a tiger at home, and now another one has been added, Zhuge Liang dares to come back and there will be ghosts.
Xu Shu used to study at Lumen Academy, how could he not know about Pang Degong's precious nephew.
Pang Shiyuan has always been pretentious, because Pang Shiyuan has been ugly since he was a child, and even scared his midwife when he was born, and almost threw him to the ground and died.
Because of the problem of appearance, since he was a child, Pang Shiyuan has always had an inferiority complex, afraid that others will laugh at him, and in the end, this inferiority complex has become arrogant and pretentious.
has always been aggressive, which can be seen from the bet between Pang Shiyuan and Zhuge Liang at the beginning.
Zhuge Liang fell in love with Liu Mang, and he had to go against Zhuge Liang to help Liu Bei.
After Guan Yu suffered a loss in the hands of Liu Mang, he also wanted to get back to the field, but he didn't back down at all. In the back is the trip to Jingzhou, Pang Shiyuan wants to put Liu Mang to death everywhere.
How did such a person become now left for himself?
"Could this not be Pang Shiyuan's layout?!" Liu Mang is also puzzled, this little turkey is a desperate San Lang. He and Jia Xu are completely two extremes, Jia Xu has to leave a back road for himself no matter what, the little turkey's previous calculations, it is all fatal, there is no way back, either the enemy dies, or he dies himself.
The first few times he was broken by Liu Mang, if it weren't for his luck, Pang Shiyuan might have died a long time ago.
If it weren't for Pang Shiyuan's layout, then who in Jingzhou would know so much about military affairs. Such a battle situation is not something that can be laid out by a group of people.
"I?!" Liu Mang guessed a person.
was denied by Xu Shu, "Yi is good at governance, but not good at military affairs!" ”
"Why is that happening?" Liu Mang himself was confused.
"I'm scared of our lord!" The crowd didn't understand, but there was one man who told the truth.
"Huh?!" Liu Mang turned his gaze to Zhou Cang on the side.
As soon as I saw Liu Mang's eyes. Zhou Cang's heart suddenly became empty, he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing again, because of his big mouth. He was cleaned up by Liu Mang a lot.
So when he saw Liu Mang's gaze, he panicked.
"Maybe it's still true!" Xu Shu is different from Liu Mang, Xu Shu sees a long-term view.
This Pang Shiyuan has never won in the fight with Liu Mang, has he?
I even almost lost my life a few times, which is really an explanation.
It's just that it really hurts Pang Shiyuan to let a top strategist who is pretentious and has always been attack-oriented become the person who now leaves a way back for himself everywhere. To what extent has he been persecuted by His Royal Highness the King of Han, and it will become like this.
Just like Tian Feng, he is mainly Yangmou. If there is a person who persecuts Tian Feng out of the conspiracy, how much harm that person has to do to Tian Feng.
Everyone couldn't help but sympathize with Pang Shiyuan, but if they knew that our Royal Highness the King of Han had also harmed another person. can't even take his identity as a man, and he turned a macho man into an undefeated man, which is called shuddering.
Why Pang Shiyuan became like this, but let everyone guess.
"This Pang Shiyuan is arranging his troops like this. How can it be annihilated! "If you want to annihilate Pang Shiyuan, you must surround his army. Otherwise, as long as one way is released, the other two roads can break through.
Then it can only be defeated and not annihilated.
Once defeated, let Pang Shiyuan's army be reduced to pieces, and after crossing the Yangtze River, he Liu Bei will be able to reconvene again.
"Where's the Yangtze River Naval Army Battalion?!" Liu Mang asked.
"No way!" Huang Gai shook his head, although Huang Gai is no longer in charge of the army, but Yangzhou's military intelligence still shows him, he was originally an old minister of the Sun family. will pay more and more attention to Sun Ce's dynamics.
The Yangtze River Water Army Camp is where Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are.
In the Yangtze River, it has long been blocked by Pang Shiyuan with iron cables.
It will take time to get rid of it. When the time comes. Pang Shiyuan had already gone back to Xiangyang.
"Now my army must have a soldier and horse that can appear behind Liu Bei's army unconsciously!" The crowd set the tone.
But is such a thing possible? Those who can appear behind Liu Bei's army openly can only be their own people.
This Liu Bei and Pang Shiyuan are not fools, will they let a large army of the enemy hide behind their backs? Moreover, this army has not acted at the beginning, and it also needs to cooperate with the Yangzhou soldiers and horses in Fancheng to be able to annihilate Liu Bei and Pang Shiyuan's army from inside and outside.
This condition is even more difficult.
"Your own people?!" Liu Mang's eyes suddenly lit up, "We really still have this 'own person'," Liu Mang said to the strategists under him.
"Lord, are you going to rebel against the generals around Liu Bei?!" Xu Shu asked suspiciously.
If they could rebel, they would have done it a long time ago, there are only a few generals around Liu Bei, although Liu Bei's troops are stretched, but there is also an advantage, they can follow Liu Bei Dao now, then they are all loyal to Liu Bei, how can such a person rebel.
What's more, the current Liu Bei looks like a salted fish is about to turn over, and the potential is huge.
'Naturally, Liu Ranran's side can't do it, but what if he's not around?! Liu Mang said to everyone with a smile.
"Huh?" The crowd was confused. There is also a person who is not by Liu Bei's side who can reassure Liu Bei, and who can control the army?
Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Liu Mang put his hand on a spot on the map.
This location is called Runan.
……
"Yangzhou Liu Mang's army has moved? But the Yangtze River Navy Battalion?! Liu Mang is paying attention to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei will not reduce his snooping on Liu Mang's army.
As soon as Liu Mang's army moved, he Liu Bei needed to know where Liu Mang's army went, after all, he Liu Bei didn't have enough strength to compete with Liu Mang.
Once Liu Mang has a move, it will always affect the surroundings.
So as soon as the intelligence over there said that Liu Mang's army had moved, Liu Bei immediately panicked, could it be that this Liu Mang was coming towards Nanyang County.
Yes! This Liu Mang was originally hooked up with the Kuai family, and now it is more likely that the Kuai family will ask for help.
"Shiyuan, let's retreat!" Liu Bei had a little bit of a soldier's move, and as soon as he heard that Liu Mang's army was coming, he immediately wanted to retreat to Xiangyang.
"Lord!" Pang Shiyuan looked at his lord bitterly, he didn't know if he was right to choose Liu Bei, but now is not the time to think about this. They were scared by Liu Mang.
"My lord, it's not coming towards us! The Yangtze River Navy Battalion has not yet moved! Pang Shiyuan explained to Liu Bei.
"Then why is his army going? Could it be that he fought with that Cao Cao?! Liu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up and said.
He really doesn't understand, what is that Cao Cao Cao Mengde doing, don't you want to unify the world, don't you want you to be a hero, you come, you go to fight, let go of such a Liu Mang in the Central Plains, if you don't do it, what are you doing!
Even Liu Bei was anxious about Cao Cao, but he didn't know that Cao Cao had slowed down the trend of doing things because of him Liu Bei.
If this Liu Mang's army was not coming for him, it was for Cao Cao.
Let's fight, it's the best to fight, kill one, seriously injure one, he Liu Bei just sent troops to recover the great rivers and mountains of this big man.
"It's not Cao Cao either!" Looking at the route of Liu Mang's army on the top of the intelligence, although this is towards Liu Cao's border, it is not a direct attack on Cao Cao. If you attack Cao Cao, you can go directly to Yingshui and march towards Xudu, do you need such a troublesome detour.
"Then what does he want to do!"
"I'm afraid his purpose is still us!" Pang Shiyuan speculated along the route, and looking at a city on the map in front of him, Pang Shiyuan suddenly understood a little.
"What do you mean?!" Liu Bei also followed Pang Shiyuan's hand and looked over and saw a city.
"Runan City!" This is really for him Liu Bei.
Didn't Liu Bei come from Runan City at the beginning, and he couldn't get along in Runan, so he was ready to fight for a future in Jingzhou, who knew that this Pang Shiyuan had already paved the way for him, and finally sat back and enjoyed his success.
This Runan City is also a back road left by Liu Bei for himself at the beginning, and there are more than 10,000 troops and his henchman Sun Gan there.
"He wants to annex Yuzhou?!" Liu Bei understood Liu Mang's thoughts, now that he Liu Bei has gone to Jingzhou, and he wants to do it to Nanyang County, then he Liu Mang will do it to Runan, this Runan City is in Liu Bei's hands, although it is already broken, but how to say that it is also a bone, isn't it, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, as long as Runan is taken, then Liu Mang's army will be trained in Yuzhou.
Now there is a choice in front of Liu Bei, whether Runan wants it or not. (To be continued......)
