"Uncle, look! That's not the enemy, it's reinforcements! "Liu Bei is deeply impressed! Time. Guan Ping next to him said this, Liu Bei looked at it and saw that the army in front of him was indeed under the banner of Jingzhou.

Liu Bei looked up to the sky and sighed: "Heaven will not kill me!" That's the reinforcements invited by Gongyou, hurry! Hang on! Rushing over is the way to live! ”

Different from Liu Bei's excitement, Ma saw that his face changed drastically, and he lost his voice and said, "Isn't there an ambush over there?" How could it be the Jingzhou Army. Then he immediately came to his senses and shouted, "Quick! Round him up! Be sure to kill them! Fast! Just when Ma was commanding, Chen Zhi saw the opportunity, attacked the horse with a few moves, and immediately withdrew.

Seeing this, Ma scolded: "Damn! After speaking, he immediately chased after him with the White Tiger Shed Soul Gun.

The Jingzhou army over there also saw Liu Bei's danger. The two generals rushed to the front and rushed towards Liu Bei. One of them was white-skinned, and a spear flew up and down. All the soldiers of the Nanyang Corps who approached him were stabbed to death by him, if Huang Xu must have recognized him here, this person was the Wen Ping who led the troops to attack Fancheng last time.

The other person's face was like a heavy jujube, and a big knife in his hand danced rapidly, and the efficiency of killing the enemy was even higher than that of Wen Ping. The two rushed to the front, flew to Liu Bei's side, and killed the soldiers surrounding him and Guan Ping.

The red-faced general was full of murderous aura, and the whole person seemed to be bathed in a pool of blood, and when he killed Liu Bei, he said loudly: "In Xia Weiyan, I will take the imperial uncle into Jingzhou on the order of my lord."

Before Wei Yan could finish speaking, the horse had already arrived. The White Tiger Shed Soul Spear took Liu Bei directly, Wei Yan saw it, snorted coldly, and caught up with the horse with a big knife in his hand. Liu Bei saw it, and he was afraid that Wei Yan would underestimate the enemy. Hurriedly reminded: "General Wei, that is the enemy's general, and he has the courage of ten thousand people, remember to be careful."

At this time, Wen Ping killed the soldiers of the Nanyang Corps who were close to Liu Bei, and said loudly: "Uncle Huang, the soldiers here are fierce and dangerous, so it is not appropriate to stay for a long time, and come down with them." After speaking, he reflexively rushed to the front to open the way for Liu Bei, while Guan Ping and Liao Hua escorted Liu Bei on the left and right. Guan Zhang and the two supported each other and followed forward.

Although Wei Yan was brave over there, he was not a horse opponent, and he was forced to be in the way of the horse in a few rounds, Chen Zhi saw it, and immediately stepped forward with a gun to help in the battle, and the two joined forces with the war horse, which also made the horse unable to take advantage for a while.

The two saw Wen Ping escorting Liu Bei farther and farther. After glancing at each other, he attacked the horse a few times, forced the horse back, and then reflexively left. Ma sees. Nature is in hot pursuit. However, Chen Zhi and Wei Yan are also clever, and they don't go to Liu Bei's side to escape. Instead, he walked to the mountains on the other side, whether it was Chen Zhi from Runan or Wei Yan from Yiyang, they were very familiar with the geography here, and Ma saw that the two did not flee to Liu Bei's side, and disappeared after escaping into the forest, but they immediately commanded the army to chase Liu Bei, and at the same time sent someone to inform Chen Gong of the Qing Huang here

Liu Bei was escorted by Wen and finally returned to the Jingzhou army and joined Sun Qian, who commanded the Jingzhou army. When Liu Bei saw Sun Qian, he immediately grabbed his hand and said with tears in his eyes: "This time I was able to escape, thanks to Gongyou inviting reinforcements and the lives of General Wen and General Wei. ”

Sun Qian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord." This place is dangerous, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, General Wen and they repelled Pang De's department and rushed here, now I am afraid that Pang De will come as a concubine, or it is important to go quickly and enter Liu Jingzhou's governance as soon as possible. ”

Liu Bei listened, nodded, and said to Wen Ping: "So there is General Lao Wen." He turned his head to Guan Ping and Liao Hua and said, "Ping'er, Yuan Jian, you take care of the second and third brothers." ”

Wen Ping nodded, beckoned, and shouted, "Go!" ”

Wen Ping commanded the army to escort Liu Bei to Xinye in a hurry, and Ma led the army to pursue from behind. However, after Chen Zhi and Wei Yan returned to the army, the two joined forces to defeat the horse. The Ma Division, which had made the less crowded side, was repulsed several times in a row.

It wasn't until the Xiahou Yuan army on the other side caught up with them that the Jingzhou army suffered many casualties again. At this time, Xu Huang and the Huangfu Mansion also arrived, but at this time, Liu Bei had successfully entered the small city of Xinye under the escort of Wen Ping and others.

Xinye, Yiyang, Zaoyang and other places in the northeast of Jingzhou have become three regardless of the zone after Liu Biao and Yuan Shu joined forces to enter Kou Nanyang last time. Zhang Xiu's defense of Nanyang was to use Xiangcheng and Xiaoshui as the eastern defense line, if the place east of Xiaoshui was taken, the place that needed to be defended would be increased, and it would also become an enemy on three sides. Therefore, Zhang Xiu did not take these places, and Liu Biao sent a small number of soldiers and horses to stay here, but he didn't want to save Liu Bei's life this time.

Liu Bei did not stay long after arriving in Xinye. Liu Biao had already sent a navy to wait in the new field against the Xiaoshui River, and after Liu Bei and the others entered the city, they immediately boarded the boat and went down the water to look at Xiangyang.

Looking at Liu Biaojun's distant fleet, Xu Huang's face was gloomy. Now although Zhang Xiu has formed a naval army, Yuan Cao fought a big battle, and the naval army must be stationed on the Yellow River to block the river, so that Nanyang has no naval support, so that Jingzhou naval army can enter the field directly.

Next to Xu Huang, Chen Gong had a dark face, called Pang De aside and asked seriously: "Ling Ming, what is going on, the place where your department ambushed is the place where Liu Bei was given a fatal blow, why did it appear last to be the Jingzhou army?" ”

Pang De also knew that Chen Gong took a fancy to his stability, so he entrusted the task of killing Liu Bei to him, but how did he know that in the end, there was an arsenic leak. Pang De bowed his head and said: "Sir, the Jingzhou army suddenly attacked from behind, and our army was killed and retreated by it unprepared. ”

When Chen Gong heard this, he was greatly surprised and said, "How is it possible!! This is the deadliest place in the ambush set up by the palace, could it be that someone has seen through the layout of the palace? ”

Xu Huang, Xiaoma and the others were greatly surprised when they heard this. Xu Huang, as the commander of the Nanyang Corps, knew the situation in Jingzhou best, thought about it secretly, and said: "Among the Jingzhou celebrities who have already come out, the brothers Fang Liang and Shabu Yue are the brothers, and our army has also fought with them many times, and it is impossible for them to see through Mr. 's arrangement with their ability. Chen Gong heard this, sighed, and said: "It's useless to think about it now, the big-eared thief fled to Jingzhou." This time, the dragon was really released into the sea, and the tiger returned to the mountain. The general quickly reported the matter to the lord, and then informed Chang'an Jia Changshi, and the general also sent someone to Jingzhou to inquire about the situation, there are many factions in Jingzhou, and not everyone may welcome the big-eared thief, we may find an opportunity to kill the big-eared thief. ”

Xu Huang nodded helplessly and said, "It can only be like this." "Rib... Youhou Yuan suddenly said! "Now Liu Biao has a big-eared thief as a minion, and his momentum is cut off at the ice gate, and the land north of the Han River must not fall into Liu Biao's hands, otherwise he will take the big-eared thief as the front, and the strategy will be extremely inappropriate for the fat cavalry general and Cao Sikong, and the little Ben will think that the land north of the Han River should be in the hands of Cao Sikong or the fat cavalry general."

When Xu Huang heard this, he frowned and looked at Chen Gong with his eyes. In the past, this Xinye area was of little use to Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu, or the ancient Yuan Shu. But now the hum table accepted Liu Bei, then this place is extremely important to Liu Biao, the north can block Cao Cao from going south, and it is an important place for Liu Biao to threaten Xuchang in the north, and after the destruction of Yuan Shu, the north is in the hands of Cao Cao, so this place has begun to become important to Cao Cao's side and Liu Biao's side, in comparison, Zhang Xiu does not matter.

Chen Gong saw Xu Huang's eyes and knew that he wanted him to make up his mind, so he nodded and said, "General Xiahou is reasonable, this place belongs to Nanyang, and it should be controlled by Nanyang Taishou." ”

Nanyang Taishou Li Sheng is Zhang Xiu's person, and the meaning in Chen Gong's words is naturally that this place is under Zhang Xiu's hands. Xiahou Yuan actually doesn't have so many troops to control this place now, and Fang Cai's words are also to force Xu Huang to control this place, so as not to fall into the hands of Liu Biao, so that Liu Biao may use Liu Bei as the front to send troops to threaten Xuchang.

Nodding in agreement, Xiahou Yuan changed his words. Asked; "I heard that Mr. Gongtai captured the family of Liu Bei's three brothers, one of whom is the niece of the general,"

Speaking of this, Xiahou Yuan's words stopped abruptly, but the meaning was very clear, Xu Huang had already been instructed by Chen Gong, nodded and said: "Since it is the niece of General Xiahou, it is natural for General Xiahou to take it home to be disciplined, but the rest of the people will be escorted back to Chang'an and wait for the fat cavalry general to fall." ”

Xiahou Yuanmo nodded and said: "I failed to destroy Liu Bei today, and it will be up to General Xu to stop Liu Bei from going north in the future. ”

The relationship between Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu has not become very good because of Cao Hong's affairs before, in fact, this is also the result of Zhan, Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu are both princes. Although they came together because of their interests before, the situation was different at this time, and there would be a war between the two sides sooner or later, so Xiahou Yuan's coldness was also reasonable.

Xu Huang and the others arched their hands to Xiahou Yuan to show farewell. Xiahou Yuan let out a light "um" and led the troops back to Xuchang. After Xiahou Yuan left, Xu Huang was about to ask Chen Gong how to deal with this place on the east bank of the water, but he saw Chen Gong bowing his head and thinking hard. couldn't help but wonder: "Strategist, what's the trouble?" ”

Chen Gong heard Xu Huang, smiled bitterly, and said: "Gong is thinking, who saw through the net arranged by the palace, and cut in the weakest link to save Liu Bei."

Xu Huang heard it and wondered: "The thinnest link? ”

Chen Gong nodded and said, "Yes, the place where General Ling Ming's headquarters ambushed is the place where Liu Bei was given the final fatal blow, but at the same time, this is the weakest link." The general also knew that a large number of soldiers were placed there at the first ambush point, in order to leave most of Liu Bei's soldiers there. The road there can't be blocked, if it is blocked, Liu Bei will command his soldiers to break through desperately instead of fleeing in a hurry. The second ambush point is the killer move. Originally, Liu Bei could have been killed here, but in order to prevent Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other powerful generals, a third ambush point was set up. As long as the third ambush point is killed, and Meng Qi's army is attacked, plus the general's army and Xiahou Yuan's army, surrounded on all sides, Liu Bei will definitely die. There is someone who can see through the ambush of the palace, and this person's wisdom is definitely the top in the world. ”

When Xu Huang heard this, he was puzzled: "How does Mr. know that someone saw through Mr.'s arrangement, and it wasn't the Jingzhou Army who was lucky enough to break in?" ”

Chen Gong smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, the palace also thought it was a lucky break-in, but there are three roads from Jingzhou to Runan, and Xiansun Qian didn't know which way Liu Bei would take, and our army only knew that Liu Bei was taking this road after General Huangfu and Xiahou Yuan came out with news." An ambush was set up, and the man seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and asked Wen Ping to lead the troops this way. And he also sneaked up on Ling Ming's department first, which is really powerful! ”

After speaking, Chen Gong looked up to the sky and muttered, "Who is it?" ”

Xu Huang looked at Chen Gong's appearance and smiled bitterly. After Chen Gong sighed, he turned around and asked Xu Huang, "What is the matter with the general's search for the palace?" ”

Xu Huang came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, what should be done with the east east of the water." If our army occupies it, it is to guard Cao Cao's backyard, which is very inappropriate. Liu Bei is a potential enemy, and Cao Cao has become a momentum, and it is impossible for our army to defend Cao Cao's backyard and block Liu Biao's troops going north. However, it is not appropriate to give this place to Cao Cao. ”

When Chen Gong heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "Occupy this place first, and abandon it when Liu Biao sends troops north, let Liu Biao go north to fight Cao Cao, and the general can only hold the defense line of eliminating water." ”

Xu Huang heard this, nodded, and said: "What Mr. said is reasonable, but there is no water army here, and the water elimination defense line is useless, which is extremely inappropriate. ”

Chen Gong heard this, nodded and said, "What the general said is very true. If it weren't for the Jingzhou Navy going north this time. Our army has cavalry in pursuit, and it is still unknown whether the big-eared thieves will succeed in escaping. The south ship and the north horse, although the lord took precautions to form a naval army, but the scale is not large and useless, and now the northwest no longer needs to use troops, and should increase the investment in the naval army. ”

After Xu Huang and Chen Gong discussed for a while, he commanded the army to cross the water and return to Wancheng to make arrangements again, leaving only a few thousand soldiers and horses east of the water and telling Liu Biaojun to retreat and leave the city if he went north.

While Chen Gong was puzzled here, Liu Bei, who was on the boat, also had such doubts, it was obviously a certain death, but in the end, he was able to escape from death, Liu Bei felt incredible. However, when Liu Bei saw Jian Yong's corpse, he immediately pressed this doubt, and instead hugged Jian Yong's corpse and cried loudly.

Jian Yong was hit by more than ten arrows, but these were not fatal, the real fatal was the arrow in the face door, and nearly one-third of the sharp arrows were not as in the face door. Liu Bei saw that Jian Yong, who had already followed him, died in a miserable state, and his crying became even louder.

Liao Hua was responsible for protecting the scribes. However, among the two people he protected, Chen Zhen disappeared and Jian Yong was killed. Liao Hua, who knew that he was derelict in his duties, fell to his knees with a "bang". Without saying a word, he kowtowed to Liu Bei.

Excuse me... The previous chapter should be four hundred and twenty-two... Confused
