Compared with the jubilant scene in the Daoless Mansion, the turmoil of the situation became more and more intense when Rong Ziju found Xiang Yu's Three Kingdoms plane.

First of all, Cao Cao, who was betrayed by Liu Bei, was furious. He has always wanted to tame Liu Bei like an eagle, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to be so bold and take advantage of the critical moment when he arranged the big war to start an army. And it's such a big rear as Xiapi.

This is like suddenly having a dagger in the vest, which makes Cao Cao's vest cold, because a bad Liu Bei can cut off the connection between the main force of the front line of Guandu and Xu Du. So he didn't even dare to delay a bit. After receiving the news of Liu Bei's rebellion, he led the people of his headquarters and rushed to Pei County in a rage.

At this time, Yuan Shao, who was originally expected by Liu Bei, had no intention of joining forces with Liu Bei to attack Cao. In Yuan Shao's view, Liu Bei's stealing of chickens and dogs is not enough at all. The number of men and horses pulled up is said to be more than 30,000, but the actual number of soldiers who can fight is estimated to be less than 3,000. This kind of strength is also worthy of joining forces with him Yuan Shao?

So, under Yuan Shao's immobility, Liu Bei became a fool who jumped out and thought he was going to direct a good show.

The results were also expected. The resolute Cao Cao risked being attacked by Yuan Shao and returned to pacify the rear. In one go, he first took Pei County, which was repeated by Liu Bei, and then captured Xiapi for the second time. and captured Liu Bei's general Guan Yu alive. It's a pity that Liu Bei ran away.

In this way, the time went from the end of the fourth year of Jian'an to the fifth year of Jian'an.

After calmly defeating the rebellious Liu Beizhong, Cao Cao, who returned to Guandu, felt for the first time that there seemed to be a wave of luck enveloping him.

And just when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's army began the tentative attack before the war, Liu Zhang, who was far away in Sichuan, was also worried.

It was in the first month of the fifth year of Jian'an. Liu Zhang received a report from his subordinates that the Yongchang, Yunnan, Jianning, and Xinggu lines in the south were suddenly attacked by unknown troops. More than 8,000 defenders scattered in these four places were wiped out. All communication between Chengdu and this line was severed.

Mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress it? But at present, Liu Zhang's main forces are all on the front line of Wenshan, Guanghan, and Danqu. While guarding against Zhang Lu, he watched the chain of changes that the war between the Cao and Yuan families might bring.

At this time, the backyard is on fire, how to deal with it? No matter what? This is not good. It's a bit stretched.

In the end, Liu Zhang ordered his general Wu Yi and led 10,000 soldiers to Yunnan to fight against bandits.

But what Liu Zhang didn't expect was that the army led by Wu Yi had just walked out of the Chengdu Plain and entered the mountains and forests, and before they arrived in Zhuti, they encountered the so-called bandits.

First, he was ambushed by several small scales on the march and lost hundreds of people, and when Wu Yi found out that something was wrong and was about to retreat to Nanguang and then think about it in the long run, a scarlet mottled flag came out from a distance. Through an open field, five thousand neatly equipped and imposing sergeants rushed out from everywhere, stunned to see the appearance of a regular army formation.

"What a Blood Banner Army! Jiu Wen'er and other thieves are famous, and now they dare to put themselves in battle with me, they should be looking for death!"

The angry Wu Yi was worried that the other party was using the cover of the mountains to make a deceptive attack, but he was not afraid of fighting head-on. In his opinion, these so-called Blood Banner Army are just a façade, and even if the equipment is still passable, how can they compare to this elite army under his command? Not to mention that the enemy is at most 5,000, and he is fully confident that he will annihilate it in one fell swoop.

But when the two military formations came into contact, Wu Yi realized that his thoughts were exactly the opposite of the facts. It was not the Blood Banner Army that was vulnerable, but the so-called elite under his command.

The left and right flanks began to rout less than half an hour after engaging the enemy, and the Chinese army had to press in advance. But it is already difficult to recover the decline. Even if Wu Yi's troops were twice as strong as the other party.

Seeing that it was difficult to resist, Wu Yi also made a quick decision, immediately swapped the front and rear armies, turned the horse's head and was about to run. But after running less than ten miles along the mountain road, he was blocked again.

The three thousand Blood Banner Army, which had already made a roundabout, wiped out the last retreat of Wu Yi's troops.

Wu Yi was captured alive, and more than 4,000 of his men died, and the rest were all captured and escorted by Zhang Liao to the newly occupied town: Zhuti.

When Wu Yi saw that the enemies who defeated him would be Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, he was speechless in shock. When he entered Zhu Ti, he felt bitter when he saw Lu Bu in military uniform and Chen Gong with a smile on his face.

"It turned out to be General Lu. Wu Yi's defeat at the hands of the general is not unjust. If you want to kill, you must listen to the respect, as long as you don't bully. ”

Chen Gong and Lu Bu looked at each other and smiled, then turned to the side and let go of Liu Xie, who was walking from behind.

If they really want to kill someone, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun have already done this. Wu Yi's ability is good, and his brain is also a good general. Now that Liu Xie is short of major generals, he will naturally not let him go.

And the name of Emperor Liu Xie Han is still very useful. Wu Yi didn't struggle too much and plunged into Liu Xie's group. This kind of rebellion is not uncommon in this era. The decline of imperial power brought about the lack of loyalty of the following officials.

It's like everyone was loyal to a large company, but the big company collapsed, and the original branch manager began to start anew. This becomes a "hiring" relationship. If you mix well, you will naturally continue to mix, and when you don't mix well, you will naturally choose to change jobs. Wu Yi chose to jump to Liu Xie's new company.

And Liu Zhang, who is far away in Chengdu, is really going to be scared out of pee now. After the loss of the first line of Yongchang, Yunnan, Jianning, and Xinggu, the general Wu Yi led the army to fight against the thieves, but he was defeated as soon as he came out of the Chengdu Plain, and now there is no news. Moreover, the thief army who did not know the origin of the next city, the front of the army had already reached Zhuti, and the southern barrier of the Chengdu Plain Nanguang was far away.

Without waiting for Liu Zhang to send heavy troops to Nanguang again at any cost for reinforcements, the news of the loss of Nanguang reached him first.

If it was said that the loss of Zhu Ti made Liu Zhang anxious, the loss of Nanguang made him even more cold.

Nanguang is a military artery that enters the Chengdu Plain from southern Sichuan. After Nanguang, it is a horse and a flat river. It can be said that once Nanguang is lost, the core of Liu Zhang's base camp may be wantonly slaughtered at any time.

But what is strange is that after Nanguang was occupied, those unknown thieves actually stopped the horn of attack. Quietly, it seems that there is no intention of continuing northward at all.

And in Juti's Blood Banner Army camp. Liu Xie announced the strategy of consolidating the existing territory and sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

This time, he took three-fifths of Liu Zhang's territory, and it has reached the limit that the Blood Banner Army can digest. After mastering Nanguang, the door to the north, Liu Xie decided to temporarily stop and consolidate his gains.

On the other hand, Liu Xie was worried about defeating Liu Zhang too early, which would put him at the forefront, facing the princes of the world. As Liu Xie, he will inevitably become the primary target of the group, which is not conducive to plotting the world.

So. For nearly half a year, the turbulent Sichuan has returned to silence. At this time, the battle of Guandu, which really affected the situation in the world, had reached the climax.
