Chapter 563: Chang'an

Xuande asked the people of Xinye and Fancheng in Xiangyang to retreat, but he didn't blame Bai Langshou for being too ruthless to kill the Jingzhou scholars in one go, and even killed Liu Cong, the youngest son of Liu Biao. When Xuande evacuated the people, he asked Zhao Zilong and Guan Yunchang to escort him, while Bai Lang took the initiative to ask Ying to raid Cao's army. Bai Lang and Zhang Fei took turns to raid, each leading their headquarters to attack Cao's army, delaying Cao's arrival in Xiangyang.

Of course, Cao Cao's army was not allowed to divide his troops to harass the people retreating in the rear, and Cao Cao's 500,000 army faced Fancheng in Xiangyang, but also fell into the dilemma of attacking the city. Xiangyang Fancheng is each other's horns, with the Han River as the moat, if it were not for Liu Cong's dedication to the city, Cao Cao would not have been able to attack Xiangyang. Now it has been beaten out by a surprise attack by Bai Lang...... If Cao Cao occupies Fancheng in Xiangyang, then it is dangerous to go downstream, not to mention Xuande, even Jiangdong.

Although there are only 40,000 defenders in Fancheng in Xiangyang, Guan Yu has a naval army in his hands, while Cao Cao does not have a naval army. Bai Lang said at this time, "Don't go out of the division and enter the division, and go straight to Chang'an." The implication is that Bai Lang is willing not to lead an army to fight Chang'an. When the time comes, Chang'an will be taken to Hanzhong, and Xuande will take the waterway into Sichuan, and the world will be divided into three points.

However, the primary goal is that Xiangyang is not lost, and only when Xiangyang does not lose and repel Cao Cao can Jingzhou be kept as the foundation. Cao Cao also knew this, so he was trying to build a water army. Since the Jingzhou Navy was killed by Bai Lang and the Cai family, it was incorporated under Guan Yu, and if Guan Er, the half-commander of the Water Army, was to lead, Bai Lang felt that it would be better to find someone from Jingzhou who could fight water battles.

But isn't there no credible person in Jingzhou right now......

Kong Ming is the first military division in the world, and it is not possible for you to let him command the water war, but he agreed with Bai Lang's proposal to raise an army to go to the Han River, and take Chang'an in Shangyong's entry into the customs to shake Cao Cao and Yanzhou. "For this, only the white jade pillar is available. "Bai Lang can take several civil affairs talents, such as the remnants of Jingzhou's scholars, to go together, which will also facilitate Liu Xuande to regain the hearts of Jingzhou people.

Bai Lang was awarded 1,000 cavalry, while 3,000 infantry were led by Wen Li, and more than 10 Jingzhou scholars were staff officers. Bai Lang secretly led the army to leave Xiangyang and traveled hundreds of miles along the Han River for a day and a night, getting rid of the possible prying eyes of Cao's army. Bai Lang took the army to cross Shangyong and directly entered the Sili Department, in front of him was the checkpoint where the Cao army was stationed, Bai Lang ordered the soldiers to sneak in, and selected five hundred strong men to arrive at the pass at night, and suddenly flew claws to attack the city in a violent roar.

Bai Lang turned his arms and toes to count a few points, and climbed to the top of the city in the blink of an eye, at this time, Sergeant Cao was still shocked by his roar, and he didn't have time to react. After Bai Lang climbed up, he directly pulled out the ring head knife and slashed, killing the soldiers on the city head fiercely, and constantly rushing down to open the gate. There is an urn city here, so after Bai Lang captures one city gate, he has to storm the second place, and this time he can't sneak attack.

After a night of fierce fighting, with the steel and iron bones of the white waves, he was inevitably wounded, but he finally captured the level and allowed his army to enter the pass. After resting for two days, Bai Lang rushed like a spark, killing the Cao army rangers who heard the news along the way, and arrived at the foot of Chang'an City in seven days. "Chang'an, ah....." Bai Lang sighed, although Chang'an has been repaired at this time, it cannot be called a heroic city.

There are many gaps in the wall, and there do not seem to be many inhabitants in the city. However, there are 100,000 soldiers of Cao's army here, and several generals such as Xiahou Yuan are stationed here. Bai Lang approached the city, and he didn't bother to call the formation to build siege weapons, at this time, Bai Lang was at the top of the world, and he also roared like a giant tiger and smashed the gate of Chang'an, and the urn city behind it was also half collapsed. With such a power in the world, Xiahou Yuan had no choice but to lead his generals to besiege Bailang.

The white wave lance rotated, and the generals besieged it, but a few people had already been stabbed and fell off the horse. The battle was less than twenty times, Xiahou Yuan was already scattered and difficult to fight again, Bai Lang eased his hand, Xiahou Yuan led the others to retreat, and this retreat was a hundred thousand troops moving together, and they withdrew from Chang'an City. Bai Lang also only brought his own three hundred guards to pursue, and directly forced Xiahou Yuan out of Tongguan. Then Bai Lang handed over all the civil and military matters to the civil and military generals who came with him, and he waited for the subsequent troops to send his family and his family.

After stabilizing the defense of Chang'an City, Bai Lang saw that his family had not yet arrived and had not received news from Xiangyang City, so he immediately led three hundred cavalry out of the city and began to sweep the Si Li Division, striving to expel the Cao army and open up the road to Hanzhong at the same time, at least in the future, the road from Si Li to Hanzhong Zhang Lu will be taken. Sure enough, it was Bai Lang, who was known as invincible with 30,000 cavalry and invincible with 300 cavalry.

Some people have long said that Bai Lang is the courage of the overlord, but now it is just recognized by the whole world. However, the overlord can lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to run rampant in the world, and Bai Lang has no choice but to lead 1,000 horsemen. Cao Jun couldn't hold the city, Bai Lang galloped back and forth, Cao Jun's morale was exhausted, and after occupying Chang'an, Xuande reinforcements continued to try to attack the city, and finally Cao Jun had to withdraw from the Si Li Department and guard the checkpoint to retain the hope of a comeback in the future.

After Bai Lang captured Chang'an, it disrupted Cao Cao's steps, and Liu Bei successively sent less than 3,000 reinforcements to Bai Lang, but sent a lot of old guards and some scribes who followed Liu Xuande, so that they could establish order in Guanzhong and recruit soldiers, and raise Bai Lang as the captain of Si Li. Gao Shun was also sent to Chang'an to lead the two armies with Wen Li. However, within ten days, the Xuande army in Guanzhong expanded to more than 10,000 people.

After entrusting both government and military affairs, Bai Lang's only concern was the offensive of Cao's army in the direction of Xiangyang. Cao Cao is already unsustainable, 500,000 people are indeed a lot, but without a naval army, they are all waste, and it is impossible to capture Xiangyang and Fancheng. And Bai Lang is invincible, and it is also dangerous for Xiahou Yuan's 100,000 troops to be expelled from Guanzhong. "Raising a hundred thousand people is incapable of counterattacking? The courage of the jade pillar is really comparable to that of the overlord. Cao Cao also sighed.

Now it's already a chicken rib, Jingzhou here seems to be no play, can only occupy the geographical advantage after slowly trying to figure it, now is to return to Xuchang after the reorganization of the soldiers and horses, into the customs to recapture the division is the right thing. Otherwise, when Liu Beijun of the division went south to take Jingzhou, he went east to attack Yanzhou, and this matter would be difficult to do. Therefore, Liu Bei's army must be limited to one direction. Although Bai Lang of the Division has few soldiers, he has offensive ability, while Liu Xuande of Jingzhou has many soldiers, but it should be difficult to fight north for a period of time.

Competing with Cao Cao in the land of Jingxiang was not the strategic plan that Kong Ming made for Liu Xuande before, and now after taking the division, the whole strategy will have to be restarted. But no matter what, it is difficult to rely on most of Jingzhou and the ruined Guanzhong to fight against Cao Cao, who has four states. "So Kong Ming will most likely still enter Shu to take Hanzhong, thinking that the rear is ......," Bai Lang said.
