Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were grateful to the envoy sent by Cao Cao.

"Please also ask the envoy to rest assured when he returns."

"The two of us immediately stationed troops in Jiangxia to block the Yangtze River, so that Zhou Yu Xiao'er would not want to take half a step!"

"I will live up to the expectations of the prime minister!"

got a reply from the two, Cao Cao's messenger, and left satisfied.

At present, there is a great opportunity for meritorious service, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun will naturally not let it go.

They set off immediately, led 30,000 soldiers and horses, and went straight to Jiangxia.

……

Jiangxia.

Liu Qi stood on the city wall, looking at Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's 30,000 troops, his face heavy.

"Cai Mao! Zhang Yun! ”

"What are you two going to do here?"

Cai Mao raised his head, looked at Liu Qi on the city wall, and shouted.

"Prince Liu Qi, Ling Zun has passed away, please go to Jingzhou immediately and inherit the responsibility."

Liu Qi's body trembled, his hand held on to the city wall, clenched into a fist, and shouted loudly.

"Wait for a fart!"

"Although my father is seriously ill, he is still in good health, how could he die of illness?"

"Now that you are fighting in Jiangxia, are you going to rebel?"

Cai Mao didn't care about Liu Qi's question.

He took out the Jingzhou military order from his bosom and raised it in mid-air.

"You're going to be optimistic!"

"This is the Jingzhou military order!"

"The soldiers of Jingzhou recognize the order and do not recognize the person!"

"I command you to wait, and open the gates of the city at once!"

On the city wall, the soldiers of Jiangxia looked at each other, in a dilemma.

As Jingzhou soldiers, they naturally understand this truth.

In the army, the order is not recognized.

It's like a soldier in the middle of the court, who recognizes the tiger charm but does not recognize people.

That being said.

But Liu Qi is their master.

Many of them were brought by Liu Qi from Jingzhou and have always obeyed him.

In addition, Liu Qi is extremely good to these Jiangxia soldiers.

From the bottom of their hearts, they were unwilling to betray Liu Qi.

Seeing that the soldiers on the city wall of Jiangxia hesitated.

Cai Mao sneered and threatened.

"Are you deaf or blind?"

"I know where your home is, and I know where your old mother and father live!"

His tone was gloomy, which made Jiang Xia's soldiers feel a chill in their hearts.

Zhang Yun also responded to the road on the side.

"You are all from Jingzhou."

"If I am asked to break through Jiangxia, I will face the end of cannibalism."

"When the city is broken, we will definitely wait for the old mother and father in the family to come out and see, you unfilial sons!"

Zhang Yun's words can be said to have directly defeated the last line of defense in their hearts.

For a time, on the entire Jiangxia city wall, all the soldiers were demoralized.

In their cognition, filial piety has always come first.

Let the old parents in the family think that they have become unfilial sons, which is more uncomfortable than letting them die.

One of the generals beside Liu Qi sighed.

"Come down......"

"Wait! Wait! ”

Liu Qi was extremely angry when he saw that the soldiers around him had completely lost their morale.

His body trembled, trying to say something.

But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

Now the soldiers of Jiangxia are panicked, and the morale of the army is scattered.

It's already completely late.

What's more, he can't take out anything to save morale.

In Liu Qi's face is like ashes.

The soldiers who defended the city opened the gates.

With a deafening loud bang.

The gates of Jiangxia were wide open.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun held their heads high, like a winning attack, and entered Jiangxia majestically.

So far.

Jiang Xia was attached and became under Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.

……

On the way to Fancheng.

Liu Bei's soldiers and the people of Xinye advanced slowly.

Looking at their slow steps, Zhuge Liang sighed.

"Lord, it's been two days since I walked, and it's only ten miles ahead."

"If it goes on like this, it won't be able to reach it for half a month."

"If you wait for Cao Jun to catch up, there will be a river of blood here!"

Zhuge Liang's meaning is obvious.

That is to abandon the people of Xinye and arrive as soon as possible.

Faced with Zhuge Liang's suggestion, Liu Bei shook his head decisively.

"No!"

"The people of Xinye are the foundation on which they are based, and they have been displaced because of me, how can I abandon them?"

"Even if I die, I will die with them!"

Facing Liu Bei's righteous words, Zhuge Liang suddenly felt ashamed.

It seems that he really didn't take refuge in the wrong person.

Just as the two were discussing.

The earth shook suddenly!

On the first line of heaven and earth, a black shadow appeared!

Immediately!

The black wave is coming!

The fluttering battle flags clearly showed their identity.

Cao Jun!

"Kill !!"

"Liu Bei'er is leaving!"

"Kill, !!"

The shouts resounded through the heavens and the earth!

Liu Bei's face changed suddenly, and he said hurriedly.

"Meet the enemy! Meet the enemy! ”

The soldiers under his command, after receiving the order, immediately waited for the battle, and came to the rear of the people of Xinye to break off.

Soon.

The two armies converged.

Cao's army is attacking like a tide and is entering Liu Bei's army!

But!

The difference in strength, equipment, and all aspects between the two sides is too great.

Even though Liu Bei had several fierce generals, he was still defeated and retreated by Cao Jun.

When he saw it, he was about to be killed in front of them.

Liu Bei's expression became more and more flustered.

"Lord!"

"The people of Xinye can't be saved at all!"

"If we don't leave, we'll die here!"

"Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood!"

Zhuge Liang persuaded bitterly.

Liu Bei looked at the people of Xinye.

At this time, his two wives and young sons were also mixed with the people.

If he runs away directly, then his family will inevitably face a miserable end.

But now it's too late to make him think so much.

Born in troubled times.

For them, the lady is like a garment, and when she dies, she dies.

Even if the child is gone, it can be reborn.

As long as you don't die, you can start all over again.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei nodded, looking extremely nervous.

"But...... Now the escape routes to Fancheng and Gangneung have been cut off. ”

"Strategist, where should we flee?"

Zhuge Liang frowned.

"Don't worry, lord!"

"Although we can't go to Fancheng, we can go to Jiangxia."

"In order to prevent today's incident from happening, I have already ordered Liu Qi to guard Jiangxia."

"We just need to go to Jiangxia, and we can start all over again!"

Liu Bei took a deep breath, his eyes full of admiration.

A military advisor deserves to be a military advisor.

I have already made two preparations.

He nodded.

"Okay, just according to the military advisor!"

Liu Bei immediately, with Jian Yong and others, led dozens of horsemen lightly, and headed in the direction of Jiangxia.

……

On the avenue above the river, smoke and dust are billowing out!

Liu Bei's 6,000 men and horses, as well as the 150,000 people followed by Xinye, fell apart under the pursuit of Cao's army!

The poor people followed in a daze, not knowing where they were, and not knowing what was righteous and which was rebellious!

Caught in the chaos of the army, there are countless casualties!

Thirty miles back!

Dangyang County ground.

At the foot of Jingshan Mountain.

"Cao Cao ordered Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Zhang He and others to each lead five thousand iron cavalry horses and gallop in pursuit."

"He himself commands the army behind, Xu Chu's Tiger Army, and Xia Houen's Guards Battalion is servant!"

"The one who just dispersed us was the first to arrive at Cao Hong's department!"

"Please make plans in advance!"

Liu Bei's scouting horse arrived, covered in blood, and told Zhou Xiang.
