Pingdu, this is Liu Pan's next point of hold after retreating from Shiyang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

With Shiyang in front of him, Pingdu's preparations for the war were far more adequate than Shiyang's, not only strengthening the city walls, but also gathering the armies of the surrounding township pavilions, completely abandoning the periphery.

Anyway, in Liu Pan's opinion, this is not under their rule, no matter how much they toss, the losses are not borne by their Jingzhou army. He came here to fight, in addition to the more than one million troops he led, the consumption of grain, grass, baggage and other expenses were all borne by the Yuzhang clan, not to mention that there was no loss at all, and he could also earn a lot of money for recruiting soldiers, of course, the premise was that the men and horses he brought would not lose too much. Liu Pan is also confident that he can return to Changsha with most of the people.

Of course, for many Yuzhang clans, it is not in their interests to do so, except in the county seat, there are many places outside the city that are related to their interests. However, it is easy to please God, and since Liu Pan has gained the initiative, without the support of Jingzhou, he knows that he will not be able to win this war, and finally retreats to Changsha, so he will take into account their feelings, and when he encounters a disobedient clan, he will directly enforce it, and even directly use disobedience as an excuse to eradicate a large clan to deter others.

For a while, where Liu Pan was, people were panicked, and some big clans had already regretted inviting the Jingzhou army to come, because after Liu Pan came, not only did not block Liu Feng's southward movement, but also posed a threat to them, but the original purpose was not achieved.

Although it is at the southern end of Yuzhang, the news is not closed, they still heard the news of the Central Plains War, and they also know that Liu Biao is now fighting for Nanyang with Yuan Shu with all his might, and the probability of continuing to support Yuzhang's advance is very small, and it is impossible to block Liu Feng's troops.

Of course, Liu Pan is also preventing this from happening, and he is very strict with those big clans, almost surveillance. But collaborating with the enemy, no matter at any time, as long as you want to do it, there are loopholes to exploit.

Therefore, when Liu Feng's army approached Pingdu, envoys from the big families in the southern counties secretly came to contact him that night and expressed their intention to surrender to Cheng.

In this regard, Liu Feng naturally would not refuse, although he did not come forward, he asked Xun You, Zhang Hong and others to appease them one by one. Now his main task is to take down the entire Yuzhang, so that everything else can be put down, even if these people who have betrayed him.

In fact, it can't be said to be a betrayal, it's just that people don't welcome Liu Feng's arrival, but who made Liu Feng himself regard this place as his own territory a long time ago! In his opinion, such an act is betrayal. Of course, now he doesn't have time to clean up these people, and when he stabilizes in the future, is there still no chance? History has long proved that settling accounts after the autumn is the best power trick of Chinese politicians, and for this reason they can even endure for several years or even more than ten years. Even if you put it down, it's everywhere.

……

The rumbling drums sounded, and it was another day of new conquest.

Although many people have been fighting in Yuzhang for several months, the morale is not bad. Because before that, some people were much longer than this time when they conquered Kure County. Although Bai Jian's command ability is not as strong as Gao Shun and Xu Rong, he has the inheritance of Bai Qi, and he has commanded the army under Liu Feng for more than ten years, so it is natural to fight for several months. In the era of cold weapons, such long-term battles abound, and some can even last for several years.

Without Liu Feng's urging, Liu Pan had already appeared at the head of Pingdu.

Compared with the enemy army, Liu Pan lacked siege equipment, and there were not many defense equipment.

Not to mention that Liu Biao mobilized a large number of siege equipment to the north after attacking Nanyang, but Liu Biao did not plan to invest a lot in the first place. In their opinion, starting from Changsha and entering Yuzhang is purely a disturbance, and it is impossible to prevent Liu Feng from annexing Yuzhang, so why invest so much? If Jingzhou really wants to march into Yuzhang, it will not be such a small fight, but will start directly from Nanjun and Jiangxia, and directly take the richest area in the north, including the county governance of Nanchang, and the south will naturally not be able to make waves, and it can be obtained directly.

But now, apparently, it is not possible.

Liu Pan was in a hurry, so naturally he didn't bring any siege equipment, although the Yuzhang clan sounded extraordinary, but they couldn't hold up the table, so they could only be majestic in the local area, and they only had small equipment in their hands. What's more, after Shi Yang was breached, most of the instruments could not be taken away, but could only be destroyed, so as not to be obtained by Liu Feng. Therefore, although Pingdu has been preparing for the city for a longer time, Liu Pan knows that he may not be able to hold on for as long as Shiyang.

On the other hand, Bai Jian, although he also marched quickly, was in the plan, and with Liu Feng's continuous support in the rear, there was no shortage of equipment at all, and there were more equipment brought this time. Coupled with the troops brought by Liu Feng, it crushed Liu Pan even more.

Liu Pan is arrogant, and almost all capable people are this kind of virtue, and he never convinces people, unless he meets someone stronger than him. At the beginning, he still thought that he would beat Liu Feng and take the entire Yuzhang. But since Xiangyang came to delay the main order, he knew that he could not succeed, and the subsequent war, in addition to Xiangyang's order, there were also factors of his own unwillingness, which was to show his ability.

Unable to fight for Yuzhang with all his strength, and unable to catch up with the Nanyang War, Liu Pan was very irritable, which was also one of the reasons why the big clans in the southern counties of Yuzhang felt uneasy.

Liu Feng actually really wants to get to know Liu Pan, although Liu Pan has very little pen and ink in history, only a few strokes, but he still has the ability. I just don't know why there was no trace of it later. When Cao Cao went south, the whole Jingzhou was in a voice of surrender, and Liu Cong, who had just replaced Liu Biao, couldn't even find anyone to help him speak, and there was no trace of Liu Pan's brothers.

In Liu Feng's mind, he may have been ostracized by the entire Jingzhou. Liu Biao didn't want a strong nephew to cover his son's light, and the Jingzhou clan didn't want Liu Biao to have his own lineage, so Liu Pan could only be obscure, which was also a tragedy. In the novel, he was later recommended by Huang Zhong to Liu Bei, and he was appointed as the Taishou of Changsha.

Of course, this is just speculation.

But it's a pity that Liu Pan didn't give Liu Feng a chance at all.

He didn't go out of the city to fight, and he directly refused to fight, and even Liu Feng wanted to send someone closer, but he was forced back by the bow and arrow, and he didn't give Liu Feng a chance to launch a verbal offensive at all, and he looked like he was never in contact.

Unexpectedly, Liu Feng had no choice but to calm his mind and ordered a direct attack on the city.

Pingdu, which did not meet Liu Pan's expectations, only held for eleven days before he had to retreat. Although it is not longer than Shiyang, you must know that at this time, Liu Feng's army has doubled, and there are more historical celebrities such as Zhang Hong, Ling Cao, Zhuge Jin, etc., and he himself lacks the equipment to defend the city, and it is not easy to defend it for so long.

Then there is the Luling, which was guarded here for eight days. During this period, Liu Biao and Zhang Ji finally jointly broke through Wancheng, and Yuan Yin fled in a hurry.

Liu Pan didn't leave, his goal had been achieved, and now he was waiting for Liu Biao and them to hold Nanyang and prevent Yuan Shu's counterattack.

He continued to retreat south to Ganxian and other places, but in the end he could not delay, and the big clan of Yuzhang also took the opportunity to make chaos, and he could not get the support of the people, and in less than half a month, he could only leave in disgrace, and most of the Jingzhou army was lost.

returned to the division to recover Yichun, and the entire Yuzhang finally came to Liu Feng's hands.
