Although Xu Huabiao had already marched as soon as possible, and finally arrived at Yiling Port by the river seven days later, it still did not catch up with Li Xuanmei, who set off three days early, and the 2,000 soldiers she led.

According to the guards of Yiling Port, she had just set out from Yiling a day earlier and entered the west by land......

In order to save time, Xu Huabiao just arranged for Li Sa, who was originally good at walking mountain roads, to take her Shanyue Hu, who claimed to be going to join the Shenji Battalion or the Shence Army, to continue to chase Li Xuanmei by land, and let her go back to Yiling to take a boat to Jiangzhou, while he took the army directly on the boat and continued westward along the waterway.

This road, in Xu Huabiao's previous life, can be described as a famous one, the Three Gorges.

Going upstream, it is the most precipitous section of the Yangtze River, and this section of the road is very laborious and laborious.

After coming out of Yiling, it took half a month for Xu Huabiao's army to finally arrive at Yufu, which is located in the hinterland of the Three Gorges.

A quick battle that ended before Xu Huabiao came to his senses, with hundreds of defenders, Yufu County, which the defenders should have even thought about coexisting with the county seat, was captured by Xu Huabiao.

Looking at the five hundred soldiers who were lured out of Yufu, drove the boat around the river, and were captured alive without doing anything, Xu Huabiao suddenly felt that the sentence that Kim So-eun said on the road before that after Dong Yongpei's death, there may be no one in the world who is better at fighting water wars than her, may not be bragging......

And this also solves a problem that Xu Huabiao was entangled in before:

Whether it is him, Meng Meiqi, Wu Xuanyi, or even Sakura Miyawaki, it is very inconvenient to appear in the army from Jingzhou to Yizhou.

They can go into battle, but they can't show their name.

In this regard, Meng Meiqi and Wu Xuanyi came up with a solution that the two of them claimed to Shuzhong, one was Song Yuqi and the other was Li Huili.

As for these two people who are far away in Jiangling, how can they be in the army of Shu......

Anyway, in this era, there is no Internet and no TV, and no one will know what they look like.

Kindness.

But Xu Huabiao made a mistake here.

It is impossible for him to come out under the name of Park Zhenying: after all, Park Zhenying's age is there, Xu Huabiao is so young, it is fake at first glance.

This army can be claimed to be Park Zhenying's personal commander, but Xu Huabiao, who pretends to be Park Zhenying, cannot go into battle.

And before the battle, there is always a need for a "coach" who sits in charge.

Compared with sitting in the Chinese army, Wu Xuanyi and Meng Meiqi prefer to lead the army to fight in front of the battle.

So, Xu Huabiao picked Kim So-eun.

Because in his mind, he has gradually equated this person from a Wu Jun family who wants to be a soldier but is not very ambitious, and a marshal who is extremely good at fighting and has a very famous fire like Zhou Yu in his memory.

If this person is really that person......

Xu Huabiao felt that he had made a lot of money on his previous trip to Jiangdong.

Anyway, after a day of fish restoration and repair, and the army of the Western Expedition increased by 500 people, Xu Huabiao continued to go to Jiangzhou non-stop.

This time, it was another half a month of sailing.

Finally, the army of the Western Expedition led by Xu Huabiao arrived at the city of Jiangzhou.

Yizhou is also known as Bashu, which refers to Ba County and Shu County, the two major counties of Yizhou.

Needless to say, the county governance of Shu County is in Chengdu, and the county governance of Ba County is in Jiangzhou.

And because Ba County covers a vast area and is not the state capital, it has been successively divided into three counties, Padang County, Ba County and Pasir County, for jurisdiction.

Although one county is divided into three counties, Keba County is still the second largest city in Yizhou in terms of population and taxes.

It is not easy to attack such a city.

……

"Lord, Bajun County Warden Yin Paula looks ready."

Under the city of Jiangzhou, Li Luduo, who was standing beside Xu Huabiao, looked at the city with a somewhat serious expression.

came all the way from Jiangling, and her title to Xu Huabiao has already changed from Lord Xu to the lord.

"Well, isn't this person very powerful?" Xu Huabiao squinted his eyes and looked at the troops that were mobilizing on the city wall not far away.

"The lord knows about her?"

“…… I guess. can guard Bajun Jiangzhou, it should be the most powerful general under the Golden Age, right? Xu Huabiao smiled.

Of course I know her! It's just that it's inconvenient to say how and why I know......

"That's what the lord said." Li Luduo nodded, "There are two fierce generals under the Golden Age, one is Jiang Zhixian, who set up an ambush near Fucheng and injured Huang Yizhi, and the other is Yin Baola, who is guarding Jiangzhou in Ba County. This Yin Baola has been in Jiangzhou for many years, and he is really a difficult opponent. ”

"What's the trick?"

"She's a very patient person. And as long as we don't come out of Jiangzhou, we can't do anything about her. Li Luduo shook his head, "Jiangzhou City is built on a stone mountain by the river, it is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack, we only have less than 10,000 soldiers, and it is almost impossible to storm and capture." ”

"That's it!" Xu Huabiao nodded, "Okay, the difficulty is over, let's talk about your solution!" I'm sure you have. ”

"The lord is wise." Li Luduo smiled, "We can completely bypass Jiangzhou City and go straight to Pasir County." ”

"Bypass? In case the backup is cut off......"

"My lord, in fact, whether it is Ba County or Badong County, they don't produce much grain. Most of their military rations, and even the rations of the common people, had to be transported from Shu County and Pasir County. ”

“…… Well, indeed, all the way here, it is basically mountainous, and there seems to be no place to grow food. ”

"Yes! So...... As long as we dare to bypass Jiangzhou, it won't be long, as long as we don't come back for two days, Yin Paula will definitely not be able to sit still in Jiangzhou. Li Luduo nodded, "As long as she is out of the city, we will have a chance to counterattack back." Of course, we can really bypass Ba County directly, anyway, we are now going to Fucheng to rescue General Guan Yunchang, this way, there are several counties that are easy to fight, and after the fight, we can completely replenish the soldiers' rations. ”

"Let's go over it!" Xu Huabiao thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't like the feeling of cutting off the back road. Moreover, if we don't beat Ba County, Li Xuanmei in the back will also have to fight, she ...... I'd rather do it myself. ”

"That's good. In this case, his subordinates implored the lord to allow his subordinates to arrange with several generals to transfer Yin Baola out of the city. ”

"Hmm. You can arrange it! ”

Xu Huabiao glanced at the other generals beside him and nodded.

……

In the city of Jiangzhou.

"What, Park Jin-young's reinforcements are coming?"

"Back to General Paula, yes, the Chinese army is hanging the banner of Pu, and I think it was Park Zhenying who personally led the troops into Sichuan."

"Hmph, what if it's Park Jin-young? The lord felt that he needed his help to defend Hanzhong, and I didn't think he was anything remarkable. Yin Paula had an unhappy expression on her face, "This time I can just teach him a lesson." Give the order to go down and close the gates, and I want to see what he can do to me!" ”

"Yes! Checkmate. ”

……

Half a day later.

"Report! General Paula! Big things are wrong! ”

"What are you panicking about?" Yin Paula glanced at the herald with a panicked face, "What's wrong?" ”

"General, something is wrong, after Park Jinying's soldiers went ashore, they didn't stop for a moment, and ...... directly He bypassed Jiangzhou City and went west. ”

“…… What? Yin Paula was stunned for a moment, and then looked annoyed, "Damn! It must be Jin Xiaojing's eating inside and out, or the one named Li Luduo told Park Zhenying that Jiangzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he chose to go straight to Chengdu! ”

"Yes! The state pastor has an order, before the battle on the Fucheng side is over, you must drag Park Jinying's reinforcements in Jiangzhou......"

"Drag? What do I drag! There were 4,000 soldiers in Jiangzhou before, and last year, I don't know why, the lord had to cut me to 2,000. There are only 2,000 people, and they don't attack the city, shall I take my life to drag them? Yin Baola looked annoyed, "Damn, it's all to blame on those two traitors, if they hadn't told Park Zhenying that Jiangzhou would be okay even if it wasn't defeated, who would dare to bypass Jiangzhou and advance west!" ”

“…… General, this ...... What should we do? ”

"What else can I do! Out of the city! Yin Baola looked helpless, "If the lord knows that Park Zhenying in Jiangzhou has not been delayed for a moment, even if he destroys Park Zhenying, I will not be able to eat and walk around!" ”

"But we only have two thousand ......"

"I'll take 1,500 people out of the city to challenge, and we don't want to defeat them anyway, just hold them back." Yin Paula shook her head.

"That'...... Aren't there only five hundred left in the city? In case they take the opportunity to sneak up on ......"

"Since our men watched their whole army get off the ship, they didn't stop and went straight around the city. Sneak attack? Where did they come from? Yin Paula smiled, "Don't worry." ”

"This ...... Okay, then the subordinates will go and transfer troops. ”

"Yes. Remember to pick some elite. ”

"Don't worry, general."

……

"How?" Xu Huabiao glanced at Jiangzhou City behind him, and then asked Jin Suen, who had just come to his side.

"There seems to be some movement in Jiangzhou, and it feels like it is mobilizing troops to prepare to pursue us. I have already asked the two generals Miyawaki Sakura and Zheng Endi to bring a thousand people to the queen, so don't worry. Kim So-eun replied very simply.

"They're not generals, and they're ...... I don't think I'm too interested in being a general. Xu Huabiao corrected, "What about Xuanyi and Meiqi?" ”

"The two generals, Wu and Meng, with a thousand people, hid in the woods on the hill we passed by just now. Prepare to block the pursuers' return route. ”

"Hmm." Xu Huabiao nodded, then looked at Li Luduo, "Are you sure that Yin Baola will definitely lead the troops to pursue?" ”

"I know very well that in the Jin Era, he must have given Yin Baola an order to block us at least in Jiangzhou, and let us go when the war over there is over." Li Luduo nodded, "We go around the city directly, Yin Paula must pursue, otherwise even if we are completely annihilated in Shu, her life will not be able to live." ”

"Then we will go around the city now, and she will pursue it with all her might, won't Jiangzhou be an empty city?"

"It should be...... What's the matter, Lord Xu, do you want to finish the battle? ”

"Isn't this kind of ploy to lure the enemy out of the city just a one-shot deal! If we can do it, if we can't, we can only plan it and go directly to the county of Brazil. Xu Huabiao smiled, "If you have the opportunity to take the city directly, there is no need to catch Yin Baola and then persuade the city gate to open!" Moreover, you can't say how many people Yin Baola will bring out now, if there are fewer defenders left than the people brought out, Xuanyi and Meiqi might as well go directly to take Jiangzhou. ”

"That's ......what the lord said," Li Luduo smiled, "just like that...... I can only hope that the two generals Wu and Meng can react faster and be more flexible. ”

"Miki is a little brainless, Xuanyi...... I still have some ability to adapt to the situation. Xu Huabiao thought for a while and said, "I still have some confidence in them." Check it out! ”

At this moment, suddenly, in the rear of the march, there was a loud voice.

"Report! Report to your lord! A team of about 1,500 soldiers came out of Jiangzhou City in the rear, pursuing our army, and they had already handed over to General Sakura Miyawaki in the rear of His Palace! ”

“…… Go and tell Miyawaki Sakura that no matter what, if you drag the enemy army, I'll credit her. ”

"Yes!"

The heralds retreated.

"The lord god counts, Yin Paula really brought out more people than those who stayed in Jiangzhou to defend the city."

"Well, Xuanyi and the others know that there are only two thousand defenders in Jiangzhou, right?"

As she spoke, they approached. ”

"Well, it's up to the two of them next!"

……

"Ahead is Park Jin-young's general?"

“…… Who are you? ”

"A certain person who does not cut the nameless person under the knife. I am the Jiangzhou guard, too guarded Yin Baola! Who are you? ”

"Me? It's called Zheng Endi, it's really not famous, do you think it's good to do this, don't dirty your knife, I won't fight you, how about you let us continue west? Zheng Endi's face was full of expression, and he showed a little flattering smile to Yin Baola opposite.

"That can't be!"

"Why are you asking my name if it's impossible? Do you want to know who sent you to Hades? So much nonsense, come here!! Zheng Endi's flattering smile instantly turned into ridicule and sarcasm, and without saying anything more, he rushed towards Yin Paula from the halberd in his hand.
