Chapter 625: Liu Bei retreats

To tell the truth, Cao Cao didn't want to have a bad relationship with the Xiliang army in his heart, but he knew that the Xiliang army would not be willing to stay in a barren place such as Youliang, and would definitely meet his own army in a battle, Jizhou Yuan Shao's roots, Cao Cao still knew something, in a short period of time, Jia Rong wanted to capture Jizhou, it was not an easy thing, and the intelligence came that there were only 50,000 soldiers attacking Jizhou, which made Cao Cao more relieved, even if Yuan Shao was stupid, with so many soldiers and horses in his hands, he would not even be able to beat the Xiliang army.

"Continue to attack Nanyang County tomorrow, and be sure to take Nanyang County." Cao Cao said.

Nanyang County is a very hard bone to gnaw, Liu Pan's determination to defend the city is very great, plus there is Iraq in the city to help, it is difficult for Cao Jun to take advantage, no matter what tricks Cao Jun has, they have all been resolved, for a while, Cao Jun has no way.

However, after Cao Cao occupied the county seats around Nanyang County, Nanyang had become an isolated city, and unless Liu Biao led the army in person, it would be difficult to escape the road to destruction.

"Shengshang, Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 to attack Nanyang County, the military situation is critical, and I also ask Shengshang to rescue quickly." An official saw that Liu Biao had finally gone to court, and hurriedly said.

Since becoming the emperor, Liu Biao was still very diligent at the beginning, going to the court and retreating from the court on time every day, dealing with affairs, but after a long time, I felt that being an emperor was not so good, food, clothing, housing and transportation were restricted, Liu Biao, the emperor, was not as casual as Yuan Shu, and strictly followed the specifications of the Han Emperor.

Therefore, Liu Biao sometimes goes to the court on three days, sometimes it is ten days, like this time, it has reached half a month, the officials in the court see this scene, all worried, and now Cao Jun has violated the border, there is such a saint around him, can it make people feel at ease, many officials even gave birth to go back, secretly contact Cao Jun, in the eyes of the family, the development of the family is the most important, as for Liu Biao is still not the emperor at that time, it has nothing to do with them, Cao Cao treats the family generously, and it is also a good choice to take refuge in him.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the officials under his command, they are incompetent, and the officials naturally want to seek refuge in more powerful people.

"Well, I already know about this matter, Cao thieves are coming, the people of Jingzhou are suffering, and the soldiers should fight bravely to kill the enemy. Liu Biaodao.

"Qi Sheng, now that the Cao army has surrounded Nanyang County, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the angels who are going to reach the city, so please make a decision as soon as possible." The official said again unwillingly.

"Nonsense, my Jingzhou army has won a hundred battles, how can it be that the little Cao army can resist, Lord Kuai, don't you say?" Liu Biao set his sights on Kuai Liang.

Kuai Liang was bitter in his mouth, Liu Biao is a saint, and his words and deeds are holy decrees, and he cannot be disobeyed, but the situation in Nanyang is critical, and he has the heart to persuade him, but he still swallowed the words in his mouth, and arched his hand: "The words of the saint are very true." ”

"The Cao army has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Nanyang County also has 30,000 soldiers, so why be afraid, when I come to Japan, I must defeat the Cao army and conquer Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other Han territories." Liu Biao said dryly.

Kuai Liang saw that Liu Biao was not confused, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Enlighten the saint, Weichen has something to play." finally caught Liu Biao last time, so he naturally said everything as soon as possible.

"Hurry up." Liu Biao waved his hand impatiently.

"Xinye County ordered Liu Bei to abandon the city and leave, and now he is moving towards Jiangling, and there are about tens of thousands of people in the army."

"Oh, that's it?" Liu Biao was shocked: "Liu Bei is a new field order, why did he abandon the city and leave?" Why did the people follow? "Liu Biao's impression of Liu Bei is still very deep, when he attacked Hangu Pass, the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou soldiers was not weak, but Liu Bei was obedient, and Cao was right, and he was beaten without a home, after becoming the emperor, Liu Biao immediately sealed Liu Bei's high-ranking officials, in order to show that he was wooed, and put Liu Bei in Xinye, how could it be that Liu Biao wanted to rely on Liu Bei's strength and consume with Cao's army, so as to protect Jingzhou.

"Liu Bei destroyed 4,000 enemies outside Xinye City, and in Xinye City, he destroyed 3,000 enemies, killed more than 7,000 Cao troops before and after, and captured countless weapons, but Cao's army was powerful, and Liu Bei could only avoid its edge." Cai Mao hugged his fists, the ministers of the court played this set, he was very cold, it is said that such a court has nothing to do with him, but Liu Biao couldn't withstand the pillow wind blowing by the Cai family, and re-enabled Cai Mao, but it is not a real official position, it is also a decoration in the court.

"Okay, Liu Xuande has merit, deserve a reward." Liu Biao rewarded him again, not realizing that Jingzhou's warehouse was no longer enough to pay, not to mention the reward, it was the normal salary of the officials of the DPRK and China, and it would be very difficult for Jingzhou to pay.

"Shengshang, Liu Bei, Xiaoxiong, and now that they are close to Jiangling, I don't know what I want, so I have to guard against it?" Kuai Liang persuaded.

After some bargaining, a suitable countermeasure was finally discussed, not to let Liu Bei enter Jiangling, but to return to Nanyang County, which not only alleviated the crisis in Nanyang, but also prevented Liu Bei's kid from having any ideas, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

After retiring from the dynasty, Liu Biao lay on the couch very comfortably under the service of the concubine, as for the letters with the word urgent, he had already thrown them aside, and he didn't look at them.

What you want to eat, what you want, what you want, the harem beauties, let yourself choose, and the officials under your command can't say anything, because they are saints, no matter what they do, they should be.

After Liu Bei got the holy decree from Liu Biao, he smiled bitterly, didn't Liu Biao make it clear that his team would be sent to death, the elite of the Cao army, surrounded Nanyang County, just waiting for reinforcements from Jingzhou, defeated one by one, I don't know if Liu Biao is really confused or fake.

"Sir, now that there is a decree in the Holy Order, I wonder what good plan Mr. has?" Liu Bei humbly asked for advice, after this period of getting along, he found that Zhuge Liang is indeed a rare talent, whether it is military or political affairs, he is proficient, and the strategies he comes out of are often whipped into the inside, which makes people feel empowered.

"Liu Biao, the thief of the country, when the first emperor was there, he recruited the princes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo, he should not obey, and when the saint was in trouble, he still stuck to Jingzhou, named Hanchen, he was actually a Han thief, and now Cao Cao is in transgression, and he should be destroyed, and he watched the sky at night, and found that Liu Jingsheng's life was not long in coming, and the lord should take this opportunity to take Jingzhou's 100,000 people into his hands to resist Cao's army, so that the people of Jingzhou can live a stable life." Zhuge Liang still remembers Jingzhou, Jingzhou is located in the Central Plains, is the land of four wars, but its wealth, if Jingzhou as a springboard, take the land of Wuhui Bashu, continue to develop, it is not without the power of a battle with the Xiliang army Cao Jun, and when Longzhong, Zhuge Liang analyzed the same, when the world formed Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Jia Rong, the tripartite princes, forming a strong momentum, but Liu Bei has always been the same place can not shirk, this matter has been delayed.

"Sir, this is not to be mentioned again, Jingsheng and I have a kindness, now Jingzhou is in trouble, how can I sit idly by, and now Jingsheng has a life, let the people enter Jiangling, it should be as soon as possible, so as not to lose Nanyang."

Seeing that Liu Bei had already made up his mind, Zhuge Liang knew that his words were in vain.

After Liu Bei replenished the grain and grass supplies outside Jiangling City, he led the army to Nanyang.

The grain and grass in the city was only enough for half a month, and because the cavalry of the Cao army was constantly wandering on the battlefield, it was difficult for the grain and grass from Jingzhou to reach at all, and even the consumable items such as arrows were not much.

Liu Pan has not walked down the city wall for three days and three nights, and now he is walking on the city wall, relying on his strong will, the Cao army outside the city does not retreat for a day, he will not go down the city wall for a day, and the soldiers eat and live in the city, seeing that the lord will use his life so much, the soldiers under his command are also fighting bravely to kill the enemy, several times are very critical, Cao Jun can almost attack it, and the soldiers stubbornly resist.

"Lord, I'm afraid there is not much grain and grass in the city, and it is the best time for the army to attack hard and take Nanyang down."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "The words of the military advisor are reasonable, and the order will go down, the three armies will attack Nanyang day and night, and they can't give the defenders in the city a chance to breathe." ”

"Report, Liu Beijun is only fifty miles away from Nanyang." The herald hurried to the camp tent and said in a loud voice.

"Liu Beijun? How many people are there? Cao Cao asked, Liu Bei has been heading in the direction of Jiangling since Xinye's victory, and Cao Cao did not order the soldiers to pursue, but he did not expect him to come back.

"About 10,000 people." The herald replied.

"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yuan Rang, you lead three thousand cavalry to go, and you must defeat Liu Bei's army." ”

"No." Xiahou Dun hugged his fist, dispatched three thousand cavalry at one time, it was definitely a big deal in the Central Plains, since the Xiliang army sold war horses, the cavalry in the princes' army was not so rare, as long as there was money, buy war horses, build saddle horseshoes, let the soldiers train, it was cavalry, the cavalry was fast in the battlefield, the most suitable for long-range raids and harassment, three thousand cavalry against 10,000 soldiers, Xiahou Dun was very confident to defeat Liu Bei.

In such an upright battle, all the intrigues and tricks are useless.

"Strategist, the spies reported that the cavalry of the Cao army is only thirty miles away from our army." Zhang Fei hurriedly came to Liu Bei's side and said to Zhuge Liang first.

Since Zhuge Liang fought in Xinye, Liu Bei realized Zhuge Liang's talent in military affairs, so he ordered his soldiers to report to Zhuge Liang first once there was a situation.

"Lord, Cao Jun came this time, the momentum is violent, it is not appropriate to collide with it, it is better to avoid its edge, wait for the opportunity, rescue Nanyang, it is not an overnight achievement, Cao Jun has nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the army is strong." Zhuge Liang said slowly.
