The Zhuge family has three talents, namely dragons, tigers, and dogs.

Needless to say, Zhuge Liang, the famous Mr. Wolong in Jingzhou, the greatest prime minister in 2,000 years.

Hu is Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin, the top five advisers of Eastern Wu. After the Eastern Wu was proclaimed emperor, he was worshiped by Sun Quan as a general, and he was the tiger of the Zhuge family.

And Zhuge Dan is the last dog, which is the most wasteful one of the Zhuge family.

It is worth mentioning that although the three members of the clan work together for three regimes, this is not because the Zhuge family wants to put their eggs in one basket. It's just that when the Zhuge family fled south, Zhuge didn't run away.

At that time, the Zhuge family was so depressed that it was difficult to desert, and they were not qualified to consider this kind of thing.

However, the comments on this dragon and tiger dog are really good, Zhuge is indeed the most wasteful one in the Zhuge family. Compared with Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin, he is relatively ordinary.

Even if it is the dog of the Zhuge family, it is also a tengu, and it is not something that ordinary people can beat.

Since Zhuge was born, the defense line of Xincheng has instantly stabilized a lot. Zhao Yun and Zhang He led the troops to attack for four or five months, but there was no result at all.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang sent Ma Jian over, which also meant to stir up the situation. Let Ma Tan, a guerrilla master, simply spread rumors, come to Xiangfan and stimulate Zhuge Dan.

For this order, Ma Jian did not hesitate at all, and immediately accepted it. After resting in Yidao for a few days, he then led his troops and horses to advance north from Jiangbei New Town.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, Zhuge Liang had already commanded the Shu army to build another new city in Jingbei. Zhuge Liang named it Xie Dongcheng, which means people from the east, stop here.

Originally, it was planned to be named Xie Wucheng, but later thought that theoretically Soochow was owned by the state, so it changed its name.

Ma Tan led the troops from Xie Dongcheng to the north and rushed straight to the front line of Xiangfan.

The Wei army's Xiangfan front line was in Dangyang County, which was the Wei army's frontline outpost to the south.

At this time, the Wei army stationed in Dangyang was only 1,000 people, and they were patrolling boringly. They had already received news that the Shu and Wu people in the south had already stopped their troops and made peace, or they would all withdraw in a short time.

Theoretically, there will be no war on their side, and even if there is, it won't be too big.

So in their opinion, their retirement life will soon start again.

Just as the Wei soldiers were stretching their waists and preparing to start the day's fishing, they suddenly saw a lot of dust rising from the south. At the same time, they could clearly feel the ground shaking, and the noisy sound of horses' hooves staggering.

"Enemy attack!"

Dangyang Wei Jun was in an uproar for a while, and they were all nervous.

Didn't you say that there was no war on the southern front? Why did the enemy suddenly come here?

Soon, a large number of Shu troops were already close at hand. More than 1,000 cavalry and more than 4,000 foot soldiers appeared in front of the Wei army in an orderly manner, and the word "horse" was clearly dangling on the vanguard banner.

The army of the Shu army is neat, and the battle is awe-inspiring, which is a very great deterrent. In such a scene, the captain of the city guarding the city couldn't help but be in a trance, and felt a little familiar for a while.

When that man led the Northern Expedition, the Shu army under his command was also so strong.

"I am the Han general Ma Youchangye! led the Han Heavenly Army to the north to attack the rebels. I know that you are all righteous men who have been coerced in Jingzhou, so you should open the door and surrender as soon as possible, and fight the rebels with us! At that time, my great man will be rewarded! ”

Ma Tan's lines of persuasion at this time were almost slipping away, and when he saw that there was a city in front of him, the lines were almost blurted out.

However, Ma Yan's words, as always, were useless at all. The Wei army defending the city did not move at all at all to Ma Tan's words, except for shocking the comeback of the Shu army.

This is also due to the system of non-local garrison designed by Boss Cao.

To put it simply, the Wei troops stationed in Jingzhou were not natives of Jingzhou, but from Qingzhou. Their families are all in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and there are basically no local soldiers.

This can effectively avoid the surrender of the soldiers in addition to allowing the soldiers to be stationed in the tun and not adapt to the water and soil. Even if the boss gives up on his family and surrenders, the soldiers below will flee because they are worried about their families.

In this era, filial piety is the first, and there are not many animals who can ignore their families.

Of course, this does not mean that the remaining loyalty, courtesy, righteousness, and shame are not important, and there can be only one filial piety left at any time.

After persuading the surrender and determining that it was impossible for this group of Wei troops to succeed in persuading them to surrender, Ma Jian began to slowly lead his troops to attack the city.

Thousands of soldiers were extremely skilled in assembling siege equipment, while a thousand cavalry from Ma Tan's headquarters monitored the Wei army on one side to prevent the soldiers and horses in the city from suddenly coming out.

"Whew...... It's been a few years, and it's still not a little rusty. ”

An old soldier was extremely skilled in carrying the parts of the siege equipment, and couldn't help but sigh.

"yes...... The last time I did this was when General Guan was fighting Fancheng. The other robe also missed this feeling a little, and the speed of his hand became faster and faster.

"It's a pity that after being led by the Eastern Wu group, it hasn't been a city for five years."

"I still miss this feeling, and I don't know if I can still be proficient in killing enemies?"

"Don't worry, I can definitely kill the enemy!"

While speaking, this group of Jingzhou veterans had already built the first siege equipment extremely skillfully.

When Guan Yu was on the Northern Expedition, they didn't pay attention to this kind of small city in Dangyang. Even a big city like Xiangyang Fancheng is not untouchable in front of them.

Seeing that the Shu army began to build siege equipment, the captain defending the city did not hesitate at all, and immediately sent someone to report to the rear.

After ten years, the army of Shu Han reappeared in the Jingxiang realm!

The news of the Shu army's departure from Nanjun quickly spread to the Nanyang War Zone, and the entire Jingxiang began to be highly vigilant. And Zhuge Dan, who was far away in Xincheng County to resist Zhao Yun and Zhang He, soon received the news.

"Didn't you say that the Shu army wouldn't go north? Why has he already started attacking Dangyang? Zhuge Dan received the news, frowned after reading it several times, and felt that something was not quite right.

According to his understanding of Shu Han, if the Shu army really wanted to go on the Northern Expedition, the army would definitely have been dispatched at this time. There are only more than 10,000 defenders on the front line of Jingxiang, and if the Shu army attacks fiercely, it will be precarious.

But they didn't, and instead sent Ma Yan, who was rumored to be good at winning by surprise, to the north. The army is not much, only 5,000 people, and if you attack the city, there is basically no threat.

So what is the idea of the Shu army?

Could it be that it is a siege point to send reinforcements?

Zhuge Dan touched his chin and began to think about countermeasures, figuring out the intentions of the Shu army.

Ma Yan guessed correctly, the shadow of the famous tree, his existence is impossible for the other side not to think about it. As long as the banner of his horse is raised, the scope of Zhuge Dan's thinking has already covered Wancheng.

After thinking about it for a few times, Zhuge Dan was still not sure, and finally he made a relatively stable choice.

Divide troops to support Xiangfan to stabilize the Xiangyang defense line and prevent a sneak attack. The Dangyang front line directly gave up to prevent the Shu army from taking advantage of this to encircle and send reinforcements.

And Zhuge Dan himself also returned to Nanyang, ready to observe in the center to see if the road could not be stopped, and then he would be the general reserve and put out the fire.

The war in the Xiangfan area is back!
