Guan Ping pursued Lu Yi all the way to the waters of Xiakou.

The road was smooth, Guan Ping and Huang Zhong both showed good water battle scheduling capabilities, and the Wu army did not dare to resist, so that Guan Ping arrived at Xiakou very smoothly.

Huang Zhong knew Guan Ping's details, he stood beside Guan Ping, and said with a lazy smile: "What a young hero, I just don't know what I want to do when I get here?" ”

Along the way, Guan Ping cherished his troops, and he couldn't get here to order his soldiers to storm Xiakou.

I just don't know if Guan Ping, the great Wei Meng, will directly lead his subordinates into Xiakou to surrender, or order everyone to attack the city and deliberately be defeated.

Guan Ping was quite confident, and he commanded his warships to cruise in the waters near Xiakou for a week, and did not let the sergeants on board land.

"Turn around and go to Jiangbei!"

Shiyang and other places across the river from Xiakou had already been rumored to be determined when Cao's army went south.

However, to the north of Shiyang is Tongbai Mountain and Dawu Mountain, to the east is Dabie Mountain, and to the west is the famous Suizao Corridor (at this time there is still a large area of mountains and mountains), which is basically a pattern of mountains on three sides and one water on one side, and it is not convenient to mobilize a large amount of grain from the Central Plains in the distance.

Therefore, although Cao Cao had the idea of sending Wen Ping to contain Liu Bei in this garrison before, Wen Ping was beaten half to death by Cao Hong, and the relationship between the Jingzhou Army and the Northern Army was so stiff that Cao Cao was too lazy to continue the layout here.

Therefore, before Liu Bei seized the opportunity and sent the general Shiren to cross the river to occupy this place, forming a corner trend, if Cao Jun broke through Zhou Yu's defense at Lukou, at least it could barely be regarded as the last line of defense.

Guan Ping explained to everyone that attacking Xiakou first and attacking Shiyang was like attacking Fancheng first in Xiangyang, and that it was necessary to attack the Jiangbei important land first, so as to avoid being outflanked by the enemy from behind like Cao Ren's attack on Xiakou before.

At the same time, Guan Ping also thought that Liu Bei's army had many generals, and it was a very unwise choice for his own side to attack Xiakou with such a few people.

This line of thinking is very in line with the art of war, and all the generals of Cao Jun are convinced, and they all think that although this Captain Yun is young, his method of planning and scheduling is quite exquisite, and he will inevitably be a generation of famous generals in time. So everyone no longer hesitated, and expressed that they would obey Guan Ping's arrangement and attack Shiyang, Jiangbei.

"General Huang." Guan Ping said to Huang Zhong quite respectfully, "I expect that Liu Xuande will not give up and send a large army to rescue." The general dares to guard the rear for us and block the army under Liu Xuande. ”

Huang Zhong laughed, and Chong Guan Ping squeezed his eyebrows:

"You are not afraid, but what is the old man afraid of? I have heard for a long time that everyone under Liu Yuanjun has excellent martial arts, I want to see who dares to fight with Huang! ”

Guan Ping grinned and said in a low voice:

"Then please General Huang, uh, his men have mercy."

On Liu Bei's orders, stationed in Shiyang was the general Shiren.

This person is a native of Guangyang County, Youzhou, and is one of the first teams to follow Liu Bei to fight, although he is not a fierce general, but he has been accompanying Liu Bei for many years and has worked tirelessly, and he is one of the important veterans.

He heard that Cao's army was preparing to land on the river, and he was ready to close the door and wait for support at the moment.

Guan Ping led the crowd to the foot of Shiyang City on foot, and saw from a distance that the Shiren on the head of the city was watching, and shouted loudly:

"Listen to the general at the head of the city, I will come to receive this city by the edict of the Son of Heaven, and if there is a big battle, there will be many dead and wounded in the city.

For the sake of his subordinates, can the general dare to go out of the city and fight with a certain person? If the general wins, I will lead the army to escape, and if the general is unfortunately defeated, I will also ask the general to call his subordinates to surrender, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties. ”

Shi Renxin said that I am stupid when I come down, I have a strong city defense, and there are lords and Jiangdong's naval army on the other side, if you have the ability, you will attack the city and see which of us can hold out to the end.

He was about to shout insults, when he suddenly felt that the voice was extremely familiar, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and look into the distance.

The more he looked at that figure, the more familiar it became, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Yes?

This...... This......

What, how is it Ah Ping?

Guan Pingqiang couldn't help but laugh, raised his knife and said sharply: "I am the Han general Yunshan, and I am ordered to take the city!" Please don't fight against the Mandate of Heaven! ”

Shiren stood at the head of the city and looked again and again, confirming that this young man was indeed the son of Guan Yunchang, and when he saw Guan Ping standing majestically with a knife, he suddenly understood something.

"Oh, how dare you call the destiny of heaven in vain! Dare to fight me for 300 rounds! ”

Liu Beijun's generals saw that the boss suddenly went crazy, and they didn't know what to do for a while. Although many of them had seen Guan Ping, how could they have thought that Guan Yunchang's son would actually join the Cao army and come to attack Shiyang.

They struggled to hold Shiren and told him not to be impulsive, but Shiren insisted on going his own way, so he had to give up the relatively strong city defense and go down to compete with the young general.

The soldiers around him were anxious, and they stretched their necks and scolded loudly:

"Who are the birdmen under the city, your parents...... Uh-huh, general, what are you doing covering my mouth......"

Guan Ping thought that if he shouted casually, Shiren would understand his thoughts and go out of the city, and they would naturally be able to occupy this place easily, and when Cao Jun poured out, he would invite Zhao Yan and others into the city to capture them.

But I never expected that there was a little unexpected situation - the soldiers who could follow Liu Beijun from Changban Slope to escape here were all fierce men who had a deep hatred for Cao Cao and were extremely determined.

Shiren wanted to go out of the city to fight Guan Ping, they simply covered Shiren's mouth with seven hands and feet, and everyone stood at the head of the city to prepare bows and arrows, and kept shouting insults, shouting orders for Guan Ping to attack the city, so that Guan Ping froze on the spot.

It's over, how can this be.

Siege the city, your own people fight your own people, this is still enough.

No siege......

What am I doing here if I don't attack the city?

·

Huang Zhongdu led the navy army very leisurely and waited for Guan Ping's performance.

He didn't have any good feelings for Cao Jun, and he didn't mind beating up the stupid thieves who were embarrassed by him while ensuring the safety of his family.

Jiangdong junior shrank into Xia Kou, he should have told Liu Bei and the others what happened this time, as long as Huang Zhong cooperates well, let's not show our stuffing.

But before the gate of Xiakou City opened, several ships parked on the shore had already begun to move and sailed towards Huang Zhong.

There were a few fighting ships, Huang Zhong didn't think he was coming at him, after all, there were many large and small warships on the river, and Liu Beijun should send more warships even if he cooperated with Guan Ping, not to mention that there didn't seem to be many soldiers on this fighting ship, only a few sailors were rowing lazily, as if they were here to investigate Huang Zhong's reality.

But he looked into the distance, but a feather arrow suddenly flew in the distance, Huang Zhong was startled and hurriedly dodged, the arrow flew past Huang Zhong's cheek, startling Huang Zhong covered in cold sweat.

"Hahahaha, Haoshou Horseman, Ann dares to violate my borders. Do you recognize me Yiyang Wei Yan! ”

In the midst of rampant laughter, Wei Yan picked up a hard bow and fired arrows at Huang Zhong again and again.

Not only him, but a dense row of archers suddenly appeared behind the female wall of Wei Yan's fighting ship, and they had already prepared to fire arrows at Huang Zhong together.

Although Wei Yan was rampant, he was by no means mad to the point of losing his mind, he saw the Cao army chasing and killing Lu Yi, and hurriedly prepared to turn around and attack Shiyang, and said in his heart that these Cao troops must be the main force of the Cao army, if they take the first place and inflict heavy blows, they can show their prestige, which is very demoralizing the enemy.

So he mobilized all the archers and prepared to take the opportunity to sneak attack and see if he could shoot the local general.

Seeing that the general of that place was actually an old man, Wei Yan was even more secretly happy in his heart.

But he never expected that the old man who was casually and calmly blowing the cold wind before was actually not afraid under the rain of arrows, seeing the rain of arrows coming, Huang Zhong leaned down quickly, rolled quickly on the board, and the arrows kept crackling and falling, but he didn't hit Huang Zhong at all.

Wei Yan was still stretching his neck to carefully observe Huang Zhong's position, but he saw that the old man, who was extremely embarrassed just now, suddenly jumped up, he didn't know where to get a big bow, he actually took an arrow from the air, raised his hand and shot at Wei Yan!

"Ahh

Wei Yan hurriedly dodged, but he didn't expect that this arrow actually calculated Wei Yan's dodge position, and shot heavily at Wei Yan's chest impartially, and the sharp arrow penetrated the iron armor at once, and Wei Yan, who was in pain, immediately frowned.

If it weren't for the leather armor he wore in his armor, this arrow would have caused him a lot of damage.

"Don't make Lao Tzu angry."

The rolling just now made Huang Zhong's white hair fall apart, and the elder who had been smiling all the time stood with his bow in his hands, and Wei Yan couldn't help but tremble when he saw the hideous and violent look on his face.

"You...... Who are you? ”

"Who am I? You go and ask Hades first! ”

Huang Zhong shouted, and fired arrows at Wei Yan again and again. The sailors under his command shouted in unison, rowing the warship and rushing over, Wei Yan missed a blow and quickly ordered his men to retreat, but Huang Zhong's boat was fast, and he had already caught up in an instant.

This Jingzhou Killing God was enraged by Wei Yan's surprise attack just now, and let out a deafening roar like an angry white-haired male lion, and today vowed to split this villain who attacked him in two.

The boat borrowed the current, and his boat crashed heavily into Wei Yan's fighting ship, Wei Yan stumbled and fell to the ground, and the steel knife in his hand also slid into the distance with the tilt of the hull, seeing Huang Zhong jumping on the boat quickly, he secretly screamed in his heart.

What kind of old ghost is this, so powerful and majestic!

Wei Yan's arrogance and frivolity were washed away by fear, and when he saw Huang Zhong roaring and rushing up, his mind was actually blank, and he completely forgot how to resist!

"Death to Lao Tzu!"

Huang Zhong danced his long knife like a full moon, and the cool blade lit up with a strange silver light, completely covering Wei Yan's body.

With this knife, Huang Zhong tried his best, confident that he could kill Wei Yan immediately, but in this moment of lightning, a figure flashed around Wei Yan.

The man stood still, raised his knife, and blocked, and the crisp sound of the two knives colliding shook everyone around him and couldn't help but cover their ears.

It was a tall warrior with a red face and a long beard, a parrot green robe, and no armor.

He stood beside Wei Yan, like a silent mountain, the water on the river and the wind on the shore seemed to be blocked and condensed by this majestic figure, as if he was the only one between heaven and earth.

"Good knife technique, but it's a pity that it lacks strength." The man said calmly, his eyelids didn't even bother to raise his eyelids to look at Huang Zhong, "Guan's knife doesn't kill the old and weak, let alone the nameless, let's go, spare your life today." ”
