The county is in the city. Zhang Xiu is in charge of military affairs and this miscellaneous matter in the county seat" Liangang Hu Che'er came to report: "Young master, military advisor and Brother Zhou, they are back. ”

After Zhang Xiu heard this, he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite the military advisor in." ”

Soon, Jia Xu came to the front of the hall, and Zhang Xiu asked anxiously, "Sir, is it done?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Fortunately, I am not dishonored."

However, Liu Biao asked General Xu Huang to withdraw from Xiangyang County first, and General Huaxiong to withdraw north of Hanshui first, so that the alliance would be completed, and Yuan Shu would be discussed with the lord. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "There is no problem with this." What about Fancheng and Wancheng? ”

Jia Xu said: "As long as General Xu Huang withdraws from Xiangyang County, they will give up Fancheng, and as soon as General Huaxiong retreats north of Hanshui, they will withdraw from Wancheng." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Then let's discuss Yuan Shu's matter,"

Jia Xu replied: "At that time, Liu Biao's army will fight with Yuan Shu's army in the south, and Cai Mao will use a big ship to pick up our army from outside Wancheng to cross the water, and then our army will attack Yuan Shu's army from the north to attack the back of Yuan Shu's army, so that Yuan Shu will be forced to withdraw from Jingzhou." ”

Zhang Xiu said: "Although this method is good, I am afraid that it will take a long time, and Yuan Shu's reinforcements will come." ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "It's okay, Yuan Shu won't cross the river to attack our army." ”

Zhang Xiuqi said: "What do you mean by the military advisor? ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "I asked Zhou Cang to kill Yuan Shu's advisor Yuan Jian stationed in Xiangyang in Xiangyang in Xiangyang City, I am afraid that Yuan Shu has already learned at this time, and he will definitely raise troops to fight Liu Biao first in his anger." Liu Biao has already arranged Cai Mao and mobilized the elite troops in Xiangyang City to deploy defenses along the Han River, Yuan Shu can not easily cross the Han River, and under the stalemate, our army will attack Yuan Shu behind the back, and it will be defeated in one fell swoop. After that, Jia Xu said how to arrange Zhou Cang to kill Yuan Lian.

After Zhang Xiu listened, he asked anxiously: "When has the military advisor seen Doctor Huashen?" ”

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "It was in Luoyang, when the lord went out to record the water pass, and he happened to meet Huatuo in Luoyang City

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu sighed and said, "If the military advisor meets again in the future, be sure to keep Doctor Hua."

Although Jia Xu didn't know why Zhang Xiu valued Hua Yu so much, he also nodded and said that he knew. After the two discussed some more details, Zhang Xiu wrote two letters and asked them to bring them to Xu Huang and Huaxiong overnight, asking them to withdraw from Xiangyang County and Shangyong County south of Hanshui step by step according to Jia Xu's plan.

After Xu Huang received Zhang Xiu's order, he led his army to retreat to Shangyong County to join Huaxiong, waiting for Zhang Xiu's next order.

Here Xu Huang withdrew from Xiangyang County, and Liu Biao also asked people to repair a book and send it to Hong Yun in Wancheng, Hong Yun received the news that Liu Biao asked him to give up Wancheng, and he was immediately overjoyed. During these days, he was worried every day, afraid that one day Hu Lun under the city would lead troops to attack him, and he waited for Liu Biao's reinforcements at the head of the city every day, but he was only disappointed every day, but today he finally waited for Liu Biao's order.

Overjoyed, Hong Yun immediately summoned the generals to the council hall, announced the matter, and asked the generals to return to the camp to prepare, and then sent a letter to Hu Yi outside the city, preparing for the matter and agreeing on the time to hand over the city defense.

When Hong Yun was about to return to the Taishou Mansion to clean up after announcing the matter, a general stayed behind and whispered to Hong Yun: "General, now you have to withdraw to Xiangyang, the general can keep Wancheng under the siege of Zhang Xiu's army, it can be said that he has made a great contribution, and the lord will definitely reward the general." However, although the matter was carried out by the general, the person who conspired "

Speaking of this, the general didn't continue, Hong Yun's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you talking about Li Yan?" ”

The general nodded and said, "If the lord learns that it was Li Yan's plan to protect Wancheng, I am afraid that most of the general's credit will belong to this kid, and this kid has enveloped many generals in the army with his favor, I am afraid that the credit of the brothers will also be embezzled by him, so the general might as well take him."

After Hong Yun listened, he closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and said, "If this matter is known by the lord, I am afraid."

The general replied, "The general will not say, and I and the brothers will not say who knows." ”

Hong Yun pondered for a moment and said: "Having said that, it was always Li Yan who conspired with us to have such a contribution, and if he took his life on this, it would be revenge." ”

The general said: "The general is merciful, and the last general admires." However, the last general heard that Li Yan was from Nanyang County, and Nanyang County would belong to Zhang Xiu, so if the general would give Li Yan a favor and let him stay in Wancheng and Nanyang County. ”

After hearing this, Hong Yun hesitated: "Isn't this going to a big day?" The lord knew that he would blame him, if Zhang Xiu could use Li Yan, he was afraid that he would fuel Zhang Xiu's power. ”

The general said: "The general thinks that it is the merit that matters, or Li Yan alone." Li Yanruo voted for Zhang Xiu, but he was regarded as a backer, and he had heard that Zhang Xiu was loyal, and he would not use Zhang Xiu for those who betrayed the master. And if the general brings Li Yan back to Xiangyang, I am afraid that the credit will be given to him" The last general asked the general to think twice, and also asked the general to think about the brothers. ”

Hong Yun was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Okay, let Li Yan stay, and leave this matter to you to handle, but don't."

The general rejoiced: "The last general knows." ”

Hong Yun agreed with Hu Ling on the same day to hand over the time, the next morning, Hong Yun led 8,000 old and weak to leave Wancheng, to the side of the water when Cai Mao sent a big ship to take 8,000 people to Xiangyang City. As for Li Yan, he was knocked unconscious and stayed at his home in Wancheng, and he didn't wake up until the night when Hu Yi took over Wancheng.

When he walked to the street and was caught by the patrolling Xiliang soldiers, Li Yan knew that he had been betrayed by Hong Yun and others, and he was left in Wancheng. The disheartened Li Yan did not resist, and was arrested by the Xiliang soldiers and put in the prison of Wancheng for two days before being released home.

Besides, after Hu lost, after taking over Wancheng, he immediately sent another 5,000 elites to that county to strengthen the strength of Zhang Xiu's army. Xu Huang's smooth withdrawal from Xiangyang County and the smooth handover of Wancheng both sides knew the sincerity of everyone's alliance. The reinforcements collected by Yuan Shu in Yuzhou have arrived, and Yuan Shu, who lost his strategist, was furious and waved his troops to take Xiangyang City, but he was blocked by Liu Biao's army and foot soldiers on the Han River, and he could not cross the Han River, and the battle between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao fell into a stalemate.

Because of Yuan Shu's troops, Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu changed places even more. After capturing Wancheng Mao, Zhang Xiu immediately ordered Hua Xiong to lead the army to retreat to the north of the Han River, and asked Hua Xiong to lead an army of 10,000 to rush back to Deng County and Fancheng to help in the battle. After Zhang Xiu immediately led 10,000 people to Wancheng, after successfully taking over Fancheng, Zhang Xiu left Hu Che'er to guard Fancheng, and he returned to Deng County.

Supplemented by Huaxiong's department, Zhang Xiu's garrison in Nanyang County and Shangyong County at this time was that Shangyong County's Shangyong City garrisoned Xu Huang's 5,000 army, Wancheng Hu lost 5,000 troops, Fancheng was Hu Che'er's 10,000 army, and finally Deng County was the main force of Zhang Xiu and Huaxiong's more than 30,000 people.

After the successful land exchange, the alliance between Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao was formally formed, and at this time, the three places of Hanshui and Xiaoshui in Jingzhou were controlled by the three parties, and Nanyang County and Shangyong County north of Hanshui to the west of Xiaoshui were controlled by Zhang Xiu; The areas of Xinye, Zaoyang, and Yiyang to the east of Xiaoshui were all controlled by Yuan Shu; Liu Biao controlled Xiangyang County and Nanjun on both sides of the Xiangjiang River south of the Han River. Although Nanjun is now being harassed by Zhang Xian in Changsha, the situation in Nanjun has been stabilized, and as long as Liu Biao has his hands free, Zhang Xian can be easily solved.

And now Yuan Shu's original army plus the army that came to help, the total number is about 80,000, and these 80,000 troops are stationed in the area on the other side of the water in Yucheng, preparing to cross the Han River at the downstream of the intersection of the water and the Han River, and attack Xiangyang directly.

Now that Yuan Shu's army is stationed here, guarding the road for the Jingzhou Navy to go north, the original plan formulated by Jia Xu and Liang to let Cai Mao's army go north to help Zhang Xiu's army cross the water and attack Yuan Shujun's back Ji Ge was forced to shelve, and in the county council hall, Zhang Xiu was discussing with Jia Xu and Hua Xiong how to enter the army, of course, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were also listed. I only heard Zhang Xiu say: "Everyone, now Yuan Shu's army is holding the road of Jingzhou's water army to the north, our army can only go north, go to Xuanyuan Mountain in the upper reaches of the water to go around to the east bank of the water to attack Yuan Shujun's back, fortunately, now the yellow turbans in Chongzhou have not been pacified, this detour strategy will not conflict with Cao Cao, who occupied Chongzhou, I don't know what you think?" ”

Hua Xiong nodded and said: "Now there is only this method, but our army is cavalry, and it will take a few more days to make a detour, and now that Yuan Shu's army and Liu Biao's army are facing each other across the Han River, our army has enough time to make a detour."

After a pause, Hua Xiong continued: "After passing the east bank of the water in this way, the army can divide its troops, first capture Xinye and Yiyang, and then attack Zaoyang, so that the grain route of Yuan Shu's army will be cut off, and the retreat of his army will be blocked, and Yuan Shu may not be able to escape." ”

After Jia Xu heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "I think that when we get to the east bank of the water, there is no need to occupy the city, and our army can directly attack Yuan Shu's camp

After hearing this, Hua Xiong retorted: "The military advisor's plan is bad, if it is according to what the military advisor said, Yuan Shu's army will be defeated, but it may not be difficult for Yuan Shu to escape, and according to Xiong's plan, Yuan Shu is afraid that it will be difficult to fly." ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "What General Huaxiong said is reasonable, but I think that if our army wants to capture these three cities, it will be difficult first, and you must know that our army is cavalry, and there are many soldiers and soldiers who are lost in attacking the city. Secondly, after our army captured the two cities of Xinye and Yiyang, I am afraid that Yuan Shu already knew that as long as Yuan Shu immediately waved his troops to support Zaoyang, the road behind would continue, so that our army would lose a good opportunity to raid, and the battle situation would become a stalemate, which was obviously unfavorable to our army

Hua Xiong listened to Jia Xu's words, thought about it for a while, and said: "What the military advisor said is very true, it is indeed Xiong's greed. ”
