Liu Pan heard Yi speak, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, in the city, Yi is a well-deserved chief strategist, for many years for Liu Pan to give advice, won Liu Pan's trust, in Nanyang is also quite trusted.

"Sir, Cao Jun has just arrived, and his foothold is not stable, so it is clear that he is bullying the defenders in the city and not daring to go out of the city to fight, so General Ben will let him see the demeanor of Jingzhou Erlang, even if he can't win, Cao Jun can't get cheap." A gleam flashed in Liu Pan's eyes, and he said in a firm tone.

"Now that the general has made a decision, I will no longer persuade him, I will order the soldiers to secretly meet the general, and if there is anything wrong, retreat immediately." Yi Dao.

After Liu Pan agreed, he hurriedly walked down the city wall.

Cao Cao did not give an order, and the soldiers were naturally unguarded, until the city gate was opened and a cavalry rushed out of the city, and the soldiers reacted and hurriedly went to report the news.

Liu Pan led a thousand cavalry, and entered the camp of the Cao army without encountering any obstacles, the cavalry was originally the nemesis of the infantry, even if the cavalry in Jingzhou was not very strong, it was definitely not something that the infantry of the Cao army could resist.

A thousand cavalry was like a bamboo, and the Cao army that killed it panicked and retreated, until Cao Cao got the news and ordered the tiger and leopard cavalry to fight, and then the situation was stabilized.

Seeing that he could no longer do anything big, Liu Pan withdrew to Wancheng, leaving Cao Cao with a gloomy face.

Suddenly, Cao Cao let out a daxiao, and the surrounding soldiers all looked sideways, but they didn't expect that they had lost so many soldiers and supplies, and the camp that had been built with great difficulty was also destroyed, and the main general could still laugh.

"Lord, why daxiao?" Xi Zhicai asked puzzledly, he had lost so much when he first arrived, and Xi Zhicai was not in a very good mood.

"Haha, I thought that the Jingzhou army was all defending the city, but I didn't expect that there were people who dared to go out of the city to fight, so this kind of battle is interesting." Cao Cao explained.

Everyone is embarrassed, they have never seen such a superb when they meet the best, the stronger the enemy, the more excited they are, what is the reason.

"Continue to build a camp, and General Xiahou will lead a group of cavalry to protect it." After Cao Cao gave the order, he turned and left.

"Congratulations to the general for his victory, which made Cao Jun suffer a big loss and greatly increased the prestige of our army." Yi nationality arched his hand.

Liu Pan waved his hand and said: "The military advisor is also joking with me, what a big victory, it's just a little trouble for Cao Jun." In fact, Liu Pan was also a little proud in his heart, Cao Jun ruled the world, but he didn't expect to plant a heel in Wancheng.

The next battle is a bit regular, Liu Pan categorically will not make the idea of leading the cavalry out of the city to attack the Cao army again, with Cao Cao's treachery, he must have laid down soldiers and horses in the camp, just waiting for Liu Pan to rush in, the surface is loose, just to paralyze the enemy, these days, Liu Pan has been busy reinforcing the city wall, mobilizing the young and strong in the city, and assisting the army to defend the city.

Liu Pan's previous rush made Cao Cao mistakenly think that Liu Pan was empty of the courage of a horseman, but the next war, but Cao Cao had a change, from the point of view of Liu Pan's defense of the city, it was definitely a general's demeanor, not leaking, no matter how sharp the offensive of the Cao army was, it was never able to break through Wancheng, plus there were young and strong people in the city to carry materials, saving more troops, to cope with the attack of the Cao army, more than enough.

Such a delay is nearly a month, the Cao army lost 5,000 people, countless wounded, the loss of the defenders in the city is a little less, but under the experience of war, when the soldiers face the enemy, their eyes are more firm, there is no panic as before, is from a highly trained soldier to the elite soldiers, young and strong are also in the battle again and again, quickly adapted, when carrying grain and grass materials, by the way, can also give a blow to the Cao army outside the city.

Seeing that the defenders in the city are becoming stronger and stronger, Cao Cao's heart can no longer sink, he also has internal responses in Wancheng, but his strength is too low to pose a threat to the defenders, and Cao Cao will definitely not do it if he consumes a chess piece in vain.

In Xinye City, Zhang Fei heard that Cao Cao's army came to Wancheng, he was a little unable to sit still, in addition to Wancheng, the rest of the county towns in Nanyang County, Xinye's defense was the most solid, without him, there were Zhang Fei Guan Yu in the city, as well as Liu Xuande's benevolence, the people were attached, and even the people in the nearby counties heard that Cao Jun was coming, they were in a hurry to Xinye, in order to avoid this disaster, gradually, the people in Xinye City reached more than 50,000 people, so that the not very big Xinye City suddenly became bustling.

Since the loss of Xuzhou, Liu Bei has deeply realized the importance of a strategist to the army, Sun Gan's ability in all aspects is good, but he lacks the unique vision on the battlefield, and it can be useful to contact other princes on weekdays, and in the face of real battles, the availability is very small.

After being stationed in Xinye, Liu Bei has not stopped the pace of pursuing celebrities, but he thinks too simply, in the troubled times, strength is the supreme, Liu Bei, as a relative of the Han family, has taken a lot of advantage to a certain extent, but it is not enough to attract too many people, but it has also recruited some talents for Liu Bei, all of which cannot enter Liu Bei's eyes, what he needs is a talent who can influence the situation.

Recently, he heard the name of Wolong, he has been yearning, this is the critical moment of the battle between the Cao army and the Jingzhou army, Cao Cao may send troops to attack Xinye at any time, for the sake of the strategist, Liu Bei is not so much.

After Sun Qian found out where Wolong lived, Liu Bei took Zhang Fei to go, leaving Guan Yu to garrison Xinye in case something changed.

After seeing this residence called Wolong, Liu Bei felt more and more that Wolong was definitely not a simple person, and even the boys he met on the road could be exported, not to mention Wolong himself, so Liu Bei was very excited in his heart, wandering for many years, and finally had a strategist of his own.

The place where Wolong lives is very simple, with a few thatched huts.

Zhang Fei couldn't help it, and said: "Big brother, I don't think this Wolong has any real skills, just look at the place where you live, and Wolong must know that the eldest brother is coming, and he didn't go out to greet him, so I'll go to find him." ”

Liu Bei grabbed Zhang Fei, he knew that this guy was a master who dared to say what he dared to do, and it would be too wise to offend Wolong because of this and delay his plan to find a strategist.

"Third brother, don't be presumptuous, Mr. Wolong is a peerless master, how can you go out to greet me and wait, or wait for me to come forward and ask." Liu Bei tidied up his clothes and walked forward slowly.

After hearing Liu Bei's question, the boy who was busy at the door got up and replied: "This general, Mr. went out to visit friends, and he has not returned yet. ”

"Oh, so when will Mr. Wolong come back?" Liu Bei thought to himself that waiting for a few days at Wolong's residence would also show that he had enough patience.

"That's not certain, my husband goes out to visit friends, sometimes it's ten days and a half months, sometimes it's more than a month." The boy replied.

Liu Bei showed a look of disappointment on his face, ten days and a half months must not be here, Cao Jun is in Nanyang County, once Xinye changes, so many years of hard work will be in vain, Cao Cao's arrival has made Liu Bei see the opportunity to a certain extent, an opportunity to become strong again, Cao Jun has 100,000 people, Liu Biao will definitely be difficult to resist, when the time comes, he will be enabled, this is also the best time to seize the military power, once there is military power in his hands, it will become much simpler to do other things.

"In this way, I will bother, I hope that when Mr. Wolong comes back, he can inform Xinye Liu Bei of his visit." Liu Bei arched his hand.

The boy hurriedly returned the salute, Xinye Liu Bei, he had heard of it, he was benevolent and righteous, and his reputation in Jingzhou was not weak.

"Will tell." Tong Zi Dao.

Walking on the road, Zhang Fei couldn't help it, and said loudly: "What kind of birdman, when you see the eldest brother coming, don't go out to greet it, forget it, it's not at home yet, it's in vain, next time the eldest brother speaks directly, I Lao Zhang will tie him back, why bother with it." ”

Liu Bei scolded: "Third brother, if you are like this again, I won't bring you here next time, Mr. Wolong is a master, you must treat him with courtesy." ”

Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei reprimanded, and didn't dare to say more, Guan Yu sent him here more to protect Liu Bei's safety, and he stayed in Xinye City all day long, making people uncomfortable to death.

"What, big brother, will you come next time?" Zhang Fei suddenly remembered Liu Bei's words just now and spoke.

"If you don't invite Mr. Wolong, you will not give up." Liu Bei said in a firm tone, there is no vain under the fame, Liu Bei is also sick and rushed to the doctor, and the life of no strategist for many years is really uncomfortable, which also strengthens his idea of inviting Wolong to the army.

Seven days later, Liu Bei visited again, but the boy told him that he still hadn't returned, so Liu Bei had to take Zhang Fei back with him.

The battle in Nanyang entered a white-hot stage, with both sides investing more than 8,000 troops at one time and launching attacks in three directions.

Cao Cao didn't expect that there would be such a strong army in Jingzhou, he had only heard that there were 100,000 soldiers in Jingzhou, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and enough soldiers and food, but now he has some experience.

After a long period of no military achievements, Cao Cao was also very anxious, and Xi Zhicai suggested that Cao Cao first take the county towns around Wancheng into his hands, and Xinye City was also among them.

At this time, Liu Bei had come to Mr. Wolong's residence for the third time, and the affairs of the army were too busy, and he couldn't be separated.

"Dare to ask Mr. Wolong if he is at home?" Liu Bei asked.

Seeing that it was Liu Bei, the boy smiled and said, "This time Mr. is back, but he is resting at this time." The boy had a look of embarrassment on his face.

Liu Bei said: "It's okay, it's okay, the two of us just wait outside the door." ”

Zhang Fei said dissatisfiedly: "My eldest brother is here, why don't you wake up Mr. Wolong?"

Liu Bei covered Zhang Fei's mouth and said in a low voice, "Don't disturb Mr. Wolong." ”
