"I still think this Yang Ling has a few brushes, I didn't expect it to be so tigerish."

Looking at the prisoners who were escorted back to the camp, Xu Chu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"That's it, isn't this purely a war exploit to General Guan?"

Dian Wei also nodded approvingly.

There are only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and they dare to rush to the gate of Cao Ying alone to call for battle, either with superb martial arts or incomplete brain development.

Obviously, Yang Ling obviously belongs to the latter!

At this moment, Guan Yu rushed back from a distance.

The blood-stained Blue Dragon Glaive Knife is enough to prove the exploits he made just now!

"General Yun Chang has worked hard!"

Yang Ling stepped forward and smiled affectionately,

"In today's battle, the general should be the first to take the lead!"

Guan Yu turned over and dismounted, and saluted Yang Ling, and then said lightly,

"Today's victory is just that the enemy generals are too incompetent, and it is not a credit!"

"Having said that, killing the enemy general and breaking through the enemy formation is definitely a great achievement!"

Yang Ling smiled and asked Gao Rou, the master bookkeeper in charge of registration, on the side, to let him write down Guan Yu's credit.

Seeing that the battlefield had been almost cleaned, Yang Ling no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered to continue the march!

……

The news of Yang Ling's defeat soon spread to Linxiang.

"This waste Yang Ling, it's really annoying to me!"

Han Xuan was shocked and angry, and his face was quite pale.

What made him angry was not that Yang Ling was defeated, but that he was so defeated, what is the difference between him and his meow?

is also surnamed Yang, and even the name is almost the same, how can there be such a big gap between people?

Han Xuan clutched his chest and almost fainted.

But now that Yang Ling has been beheaded, even if he wants to cure him, there is no way to do it, unless he goes underground to find him.

Han Xuan took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and looked at the people in the lobby,

"What can you do?"

"Taishou, shall we withdraw?"

"Yes, if there is no Uncle Liuhuang's soldiers and horses, we will not be able to resist Cao's army."

Everyone opened their mouths to suggest.

Han Xuan's face was quite ugly.

Among the four counties in Jingnan, although Changsha County is the strongest, it cannot compete with Yang Ling.

Now that Yang Ling and 5,000 soldiers and horses are missing, how can he be Cao Jun's opponent?

Han Xuan thought about it, and finally sighed,

"Okay, let's get out!"

The hearts of the people were overjoyed, but before they could make any moves, they heard a calm voice sound,

"Where does Han Taishou want to retreat?"

Han Xuan was stunned for a moment, only to see a person walking into the lobby with his head held high.

This person has his ears hanging down his shoulders and his hands above his knees, who is it Liu Bei?

Liu ...... Uncle Liu Huang, you ...... What are you doing here? ”

Han Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then stood up excitedly.

"Knowing that Changsha is in trouble, how can I sit idly by?"

Liu Bei said with a smile,

"As soon as we receive your letter, we will set out for us!"

Only then did Han Xuan notice that Liu Bei was also followed by Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Ling Tong and others.

As early as after Zhang Fei and others were defeated and retreated to Fankou, the coalition forces predicted that Cao's army would continue to attack Changsha County.

Therefore, after some discussion, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others organized another army and waited at the border between Jiangxia and Changsha.

As soon as they received Han Xuan's letter, they hurried over!

"With Uncle Liu Huang sitting in Linxiang, Changsha is saved!"

Han Xuan held Liu Bei's hand and said excitedly.

Everyone sat down separately, and after a few words of greeting, Liu Bei said,

"Although Han Taishou is the lord and we are guests, but now that the situation is urgent, I hope Han Taishou can cooperate with us!"

If it was changed before, it would be impossible to listen to Liu Bei if Han Xuan was killed.

But now that Cao's army is pressing, Han Xuan doesn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, so he can only listen to Liu Bei for everything.

"It's easy to say, please ask Uncle Liu Huang to command!"

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang stood up unhurriedly,

"I also asked the Taishou to organize the people and let them build fortifications along the north bank of Xiangshui."

"Why is that?"

Han Xuan said with some doubts.

Cao's morale is strong, the combat power is amazing, and it occupies the advantage of troops, so it is reasonable to defend Linxiang.

"Han Taishou doesn't know that the power of Cao's artillery is so amazing that he can't even carry the walls of Jiangling."

"If we stick to Linxiang, it's just a dead end!"

Zhuge Liang explained.

"I see!"

Han Xuan suddenly realized.

After some discussion, Han Xuan organized tens of thousands of people according to Zhuge Liang's request, and began to work along the Xiangshui in the south of Linxiang.

When Yang Ling led Cao's army to Xiangshui two days later, he was taken aback.

The bridge to the other side of the river stands intact on the water.

Liu Bei and others requisitioned the people who were transferred, and along the north bank of Xiangshui, they dug a trench for two or three miles.

The purpose is to deal with Cao's artillery.

The excavated soil was not discarded at will, but piled up into a high slope.

In this way, if Cao's army attacks the past, it will face a passive situation of being attacked by the enemy and condescendingly!

Yang Ling looked at the other side of the river, touched his chin, and muttered,

"Wenchang, Zhongye!"

"The last general!"

Wei Yan and Wen Ping came out of the crowd.

"Each of you will lead a team of men and horses to investigate the situation in Xiangshui in two directions to see if there is a place where you can cross the river."

Yang Ling commanded.

"Whoa!"

The two did not hesitate, and each led a team of cavalry to search up and down the Xiangshui River.

Yang Ling did not cross the river in a hurry, but ordered the army to rest in place and remain vigilant!

The enemy soldiers on the other side of the river were just hiding in the trenches, and they also had no intention of coming out.

In this way, the two sides were at a stalemate across the Xiangshui.

Minutes and seconds passed, and soon it was past noon.

Wei Yan and Wen Ping returned to the army one after another, and told Yang Ling about the discovered situation.

Now that it is the rainy season, the Xiangshui River is surging, and there is almost no place to cross the river.

The bridges upstream and downstream were all destroyed by the coalition forces.

In other words, if Cao's army wanted to capture Changsha County, it could only cross the bridge in front of them.

But if you go over, you will face unfavorable terrain.

This Zhuge Liang has a few brushes!

Yang Ling said secretly.

Previously, he had received news from the spies and knew that the coalition led by Liu Bei was on the other side of the river.

Only Zhuge Liang can come up with such a way.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Yang Ling did not plan to attack, but temporarily set up camp on the south bank.

It's night.

In Cao Jun's Chinese army camp, the candles were bright.

Yang Ling and the soldiers gathered together to discuss how to cross the river.

"The situation is here, naturally there is nothing to say, only a strong attack!"

Ma Chao took the initiative to speak,

"Tomorrow I am willing to be the first to attack the enemy!"

"General Meng Qi, don't be impulsive, the terrain on the other side of the river is not favorable to our army, and under the strong attack, I am only afraid of heavy losses."

Gao Rou persuaded.
