Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

"withdraw troops! withdraw troops!"

In the tent, Liu Biao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked pale.

He originally thought that Huang Zu had fifty thousand Jiangxia soldiers. Even if Cao Ang invaded Jingzhou to harass, Huang Zu could resist for a while, giving Liu Biao and Yuan Shao the opportunity to destroy Cao Cao's main force. time.

But I didn’t expect that Huang Zu was defeated so quickly!

Before Yuan Shao’s army even arrived, Huang Zu died and Jiangxia was lost!

The eastern portal of Jingxiang suddenly opened wide!

As a result, Xiangyang, the foundation of Jingzhou, Just like the maids wearing crotchless pants in the palace during the reign of Emperor Ling...

At this time, Liu Biao couldn't care about anything and immediately withdrew his troops.

"Jingzhou Mu, no!

At this time, my lord's army of 500,000 to 600,000 men is probably already in position and can destroy Cao Cao in one battle.

Withdrawing troops at this time is not conducive to the overall situation!"

Yuan Shao's envoy heard this and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

Since the letter was delivered a few days ago, he has stayed in Liu Biao's camp as a bridge of communication.

Liu Biao rolled his sleeves and snorted angrily:"It's easy to say, if your Lord's Yecheng suffered Cao Ang makes a surprise attack, can your lord still sit idly by and do nothing?"

With that said, Liu Biao ignored the Yuan Shao envoy and began to withdraw his troops.

Xiangyang is Liu Biao's foundation and must not be lost!

What's more, it was rumored that after Lu Bu was captured, not only Lu Bu's daughter was taken as a concubine by Cao Ang, but also his wife Yan Both Cao Ang and Diao Chan were brought into the back house by Cao Ang. It is suspected that Cao Ang, like his father Cao Cao, would like to have a wife.

Although Liu Biao is older, his later wife Cai is much younger. She is only twenty-five six this year. That's all.

The Cai family came from a wealthy family in Jingxiang and had good looks. If Cao Ang really captured Xiangyang, wouldn't he want to put another cuckold on Liu Biao's head?

For this reason, Liu Biao had to return to protect Xiangyang.

So, Liu Biao Together with Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Huang She and other 180,000 water and land troops, they each hurriedly withdrew their troops.

Cai Mao, Zhang Yun led 50,000 naval troops to the Feishui River, and withdrew from Wancheng.

Liu Biao also led a main force of 80,000 troops, along the banks of the Feishui River. He withdrew his troops in response to Cai Mao and

Zhang Yun's navy. Huang She, the governor of Zhangling County, led 50,000 troops to withdraw from Zhangling County to the county town.

Zhangling County City is a hundred miles east of Xiangyang, and it is the gateway in front of you. Coupled with the Xiangyang garrison, Jingzhou still has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, which can defend the front line of Xiangyang.

As soon as the Jingzhou army retreated, Cao Cao's central army in Wuyang learned the news.

"Hahaha, Liu Biao's three troops have indeed retreated. It seems that my son Xiu has already entered Jingzhou!"

Cao Cao laughed heartily, with excitement on his face.

Even though Yuan Shao and his army of 550,000 troops were marching south in 08, he did not panic at all.

Just because of his great age, in just three months, There was a big situation in the south, and this old father almost won!

"The master's use of troops is unpredictable!

In more than two months, he captured Lu Bu, defeated Yuan Shu and killed Sun Ce. He gained Xuzhou and half of Yangzhou, and also left Jiangdong in ruins.

Now they have entered Jingzhou again, which is really amazing!

If Liu Biao hadn't suddenly withdrawn his troops, it would have been unbelievable!"

_

_

If Yuan Shao hadn't sent heavy troops to suppress the situation, I'm afraid Jingzhou would have fallen into the hands of the young master in another month or two!

It's just that this time, the young master's attack on Jingzhou will definitely cause heavy losses to Jingzhou.

When the young master returns to the army, we must gather all our troops to defeat Yuan Shao.

Then Jingzhou and Jiangdong can be decided in one fell swoop!

In this way, within two or three years, all the princes will be wiped out, and the world will belong to the lord, father and son!"

What Guo Jia said was groundbreaking. In two or three years, he swept through the princes and unified the world. This was something that no one in Cao Ying, or even all the princes in the world, had ever thought of before.

He didn't even dare to Think about it!

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was fighting against each other, and Chu and Han were fighting for supremacy. It took him fourteen years to unify the world. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty raised an army in the last years of Wang Mang, and even with the help of a meteorite falling from the sky, it took twelve years to unify the world. Years!

Who dares to think that he can sweep away the princes in two or three years?

A few months ago, Guo Jia's words might have been regarded as arrogance!

But now that Guo Jia said these words, everyone present in Cao Ying was shocked. No one objects, and they even think it is very possible!

And all this is because of Cao Ang!

Their young master, with his troops and power, is even more powerful than Emperor Guangwu back then!

"Haha, now that Zixiu has created an opportunity for us, the entire army immediately broke out of camp and headed north to Yinluoyang, Henan to meet the high-ranking Bingzhou Army!

After defeating Gao Gan and joining forces with Zi Xiu, Yuan Shao's army would be 300,000, which is nothing to worry about!"

Cao Cao's face was flushed with joy, and his whole person was full of passion, just because the big boy was so proud of him! At this moment, Cao Cao even considered continuing to promote the big boy and himself.

Previously, Cao Ang After capturing Lu Bu and taking over Xuzhou, he was already a Hussar General and a Marquis of Lanling.

Recently, he captured Yuan Shu, killed Sun Ce and attacked Jingzhou, so he had to be promoted to general!

And the position of general is now held by Cao Cao.

Cao Ang becomes general. Old Cao had to give up his position, but he could not be lower than the elder...

So, a bold idea came to Cao Cao's mind!

He also immediately instructed Xun You to write a letter to Xun Yu in Xudu to express his It means...

As Cao Cao broke camp and headed north, Liu Biao, Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun's army marched very quickly along the Feishui River. In two or three days, they retreated to the vicinity of Xinye.

Xinye was not far from Xiangyang.

Look. It was getting dark, so Liu ordered the army to rest in Xinye tonight.

"My lord, the army is stationed outside the city. My lord, you should go into the city to rest.

It's already September, and the night is wet and cold with dew. My lord, I don't want to catch the cold."

Cai Mao suggested that Liu Biao should go to the city to rest.

After all, if Liu Biao did not enter the city, everyone else would have to spend the night in the wilderness outside the city.

Liu Biao subconsciously did not want to enter the city and wanted to be with the army, but he thought that this place was already the hinterland of Jingxiang. , and hundreds of thousands of troops were encamped around Xinye and both sides of Feishui River, it seemed very safe.

I was also old, and in this era, catching wind and cold would be fatal, so I adopted Cai Mao's suggestion and led A battalion of soldiers entered the city to rest.

It was night, the moon was dark, the wind was high, and the autumn wind was bleak. The grass and trees between the sky and the earth were gradually withering, and it was the time when the sky was dry.

In the forest on the east mountain of Xinye City, Cao Ang's 60,000-foot cavalry were quietly dormant.

No matter how hard Liu Biao broke his head, he would never have thought that after Cao Ang captured Jiangxia, he did not actually march into Xiangyang. Instead, after creating a momentum to march into Xiangyang, he suddenly turned his troops and marched directly from Jiangxia County to Zhangling County. The straight road came to Xinye.

Because it took time for Liu Biao to get the news from Jiangxia and retreat, Cao Ang came to Xinye two days earlier than Liu Biao.

The reason why he came to Xinye was because Xinye was the place Liu Biao must pass through to withdraw his troops!

The purpose of Cao Ang's attack on Jingzhou was of course to force Liu Biao to withdraw his troops, but also to force Liu Biao to withdraw his troops before he was temporarily unable to move north again.

Therefore, instead of attacking Xiangyang, which had 50,000 defenders, it was better to ambush Liu Biao's retreating main force and defeat the main force in Jingzhou. Disabled!

Even if Cao Ang goes north to attack Yuan Shao, Jingzhou will be unable to deal with Yuan Shao for the time being!

"General, everyone in the Jingzhou military camp is asleep and defenseless."

In the night, a scout came to Cao Ang and reported in a low voice.

Cao Ang nodded, his eyes still extremely bright in the night:"Soldiers, we will defeat the Jingzhou Army tonight!"

Following Cao Ang's order, Li Cunxiao and other five thousand hussars mounted their horses one after another, using 500 heavily armored hussars as spears. The rest formed a flying geese formation and prepared to attack the camp. The

Jiangdong New Army and the Yuzhang Army's five Fifteen thousand soldiers and horses, also under the cover of night, each carrying fire starters, slowly approached the Jingzhou Army camp outside Xinye City.

Even on the bank of the Feishui River outside the city, where the Jingzhou Navy ships were parked, there was a A group of soldiers and horses approached secretly.

Seeing that all his officers and men were in position, Cao Ang took out a sounding arrow from the quiver and put it on the sunset bow. Voice

"kill!"

The sound of dysprosium was the signal to attack. At this moment, the Hussars, Jiangdong New Army, and Yuzhang Army all moved like thunder. Along with the sound of killing, there was a burst of arrows with igniting objects, which were shot towards into the Jingzhou Army's camp.

The ship berths on the banks of the Feishui River were hit hard by rockets.

Soon, the docks and military camps were all on fire.

"on fire!" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Put out the fire quickly!"

"Someone is attacking the camp!"

In the Jingzhou Army camp, many soldiers were awakened by the fire and smoke in their sleep, or were awakened by the screams of the surrounding robes.

Before they could react or put out the flames, they could only hear shouts from all directions. The sound of killing came from behind the fire.

Some soldiers suddenly panicked and ran around like headless flies in the camp.

Some generals also shouted loudly, telling the soldiers in the camp not to panic and to form formations to defend against the enemy.

"Buzz!"

The night garrison at the camp gate, before they had time to form a formation, were shot over by another hail of arrows flying in the dark night.

And the ground also rumbled, five hundred heavily armored hussars, as if coming from the dark night Like a murderous god, he knocked open the door of the Jingzhou military camp and tore into pieces the defenders who were still standing at the camp gate...

At the same time, in Xinye City, the one hundred Jinyi guards that Cao Ang had arranged in advance in the city also began to take advantage of the situation and set fire to it..Killing people and setting fires, Jin Yiwei is a professional.

Around the house where Liu Biao, Cai Mao and other Jingzhou monarchs and ministers were staying, fires suddenly broke out and smoke billowed.

"Ahem! Where did the fire come from!"

Liu Biao was choked up by the fireworks before he could be awakened by the movement outside the city. He was shocked when he saw the flames soaring into the sky inside and outside the city.

"Lord! Cao Jun’s night attack!

A fire broke out in the city, and the camp outside the city was also attacked. Please leave the city quickly and go to the open area by the Feishui River to command the army!"

Kuai Yue came in a hurry wearing some clothes and reported to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao suddenly lost his sleepiness and became completely awake. He took a breath and said,"What a Cao Zixiu! He didn't go to attack Xiangyang, but came to ambush the main force of our army!"

At this moment, Liu Biao couldn't help being shocked and angry, feeling annoyed for his negligence.

If he had thought of it earlier, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed by the surprise attack!

Surrounded by Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others, Liu Biao hurried out of the city. They wanted to head towards the open land by the Feishui River, but all they saw were the ships along the shore, including their food, grass and baggage, all engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

Several large camps of hundreds of thousands of Jingzhou troops were also surrounded by the Hussars. and the rest of Cao's army collapsed in many places.

Some Jingzhou troops panicked and jumped into the Feishui River. Countless people drowned or were burned to death.

Even if Liu Biao wanted to command the army to counterattack, they were defeated everywhere. It was the fire and smoke, and even many generals could not be contacted, and it was impossible to stop the chaos.

"Lord, the situation is chaotic. Stay away from the battlefield and return to Xiangyang quickly!"

In the dark night, Jingzhou civil and military officials did not know how many Cao troops were attacking. They were afraid that Cao Ang's 100,000-strong army would make dumplings. They all suggested that Liu Biao abandon the rebel army and evacuate lightly.

Mainly, these Jingzhou civil and military officials were also afraid that they would die in the rebel army. A defeat means a defeat. No matter whose hands Jingzhou falls into, they will have to rely on these aristocratic families to help govern...

But if the little life is lost, then everything is in vain.……[]

Liu Biao had a look of pain on his face. The hundreds of thousands of troops in front of him were the main force of Jingzhou!

Huang Zu's 50,000 troops in Jiangxia have been destroyed. If these hundreds of thousands of troops are left here again, there will only be 100,000 soldiers and horses left in Jingzhou...

Liu Biao's foundation of 280,000 troops will be in a few years Lost most of it during the day!

This had almost no impact on the civil and military families in Jingzhou.

As long as the foundation of the family is still there, the population and military strength will continue to flow continuously.

But for Liu Biao, it's different!

"The generals will obey orders and organize a counterattack!

The main force in Jingzhou must not allow any mistakes!"

Liu Biao's eyes turned red and he roared like an angry lion.

"The person speaking by the river was Liu Biao!"

"Kill the soldiers, and the one who captures Liu Biao will be the first success!"

At this moment, there was a sudden loud shouting among the rebellious army, and several groups of Cao Jun's officers and soldiers discovered the whereabouts of Liu Biao's monarch and ministers, and excitedly came towards this place.

Taishi Ci, in particular, had not stood up since he followed Cao Ang. It's time to work hard to achieve any decent feat. As soon as

Liu Biao was found, he led hundreds of his troops to kill them like lightning.

"Lord, leave quickly!"

Seeing that their whereabouts were discovered, Jingzhou civil and military officials did not dare to stay. They just ignored Liu Biao and pushed Liu Biao onto his horse. Under the escort of more than a thousand pro-army soldiers gathered, he ran away.

"Now that Liu Biao is gone, do you know me, Donglai Taishi Ci?"

Taishici shouted loudly and chased after him.

"Lord, leave quickly, I'll cut off the queen!"

Jingzhou General Wenpin roared like a tiger and rode his horse to fight.

Immediately afterwards, the two generals fought together.

"Xu Chu is here!"

Seeing Taishi Ci being stopped by Wenpin, Xu Chu shouted loudly and led his cavalry to chase Liu Biao.

"Xu Chuxiu wants to be arrogant, Huang Zhong is here!"

A middle-aged general came with a long sword in his hand. He stopped Xu Chu and cut off Liu Biao's rear.

Not far away, Cao Ang stationed his horse on a slope. Looking at the battlefield, he couldn't help but smile and said:"Jingzhou is the same. There is no shortage of famous generals, but it is a pity that Liu Biao does not make good use of them."

Although Xu Chu and Tai Shi Ci were each stopped by Wenpin Huang Zhong, Li Cunxiao was the only one who could stop them. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, perhaps because Liu Biao was also a member of the Han clan, kept a low profile tonight and did not go there. The core battlefield

"Huo Jun is here, don't hurt my lord!"

Seeing Li Cunxiao riding his horse to pursue Liu Biao, in the chaos of the army, Jingzhou General Huo Jun led his troops to stop Li Cunxiao.

He also knew that Li Cunxiao was brave, so he used archers to harass him and blocked the burning baggage on the road to stop him. The charge of the Hussars really stopped Li Cunxiao for a moment.

"Although Huo Jun does not have a reputation for bravery, there is a reason why he ranks ahead of Wenpin and others among Jingzhou generals.

This person is not brave enough, but he is quite resourceful.……"

Cao Ang commented from afar, which meant that he was giving guidance to the country.

"Where is General Wei Yan? Come and help me!"

Huo Jun was shocked when he saw that Li Cunxiao was very brave, and he was flying horses and carriages that were on fire. He was about to clear a way. He called Jingzhou general Wei Yan to help.

"General Wei Yan was beaten fifty times with a stick by his lord a few days ago. The injury has not healed yet, so he was just carried away by his own soldiers in a small boat!"

Other Jingzhou generals responded.

When Huo Jun heard this, he immediately sighed. If he had known that there would be a crisis at this moment, his lord Liu Biao should not punish Wei Yan, and he would have lost a fighting force.

Just when Huo Jun was glad that he had stopped Li Cunxiao for a moment. , when Liu Biao fled far away, he only heard a whistle in the night.

But it was Cao Ang who stood outside Xinye City, stood up high, and shot an arrow. Eight hundred steps away, the arrow hit Liu Biao's heart.……

"Lord!"

Suddenly, the civil and military officials in Jingzhou around Liu Biao burst into shouts of panic and despair.

Cao Ang, the instigator, smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Biao was hit by this arrow and would definitely die.

And Liu Biao San None of his sons Liu Qi, Liu Cong, and Liu Xiu could take on important matters, and there were also Mrs. Cai, Cai Mao and other Jingzhou aristocratic families. There would be a fuss over who would succeed the throne. In a short period of time, there was no threat to Jingzhou.

But that The Cai family is far from being as old and young as they were during the Battle of Chibi. She is still in her mid-twenties, so she does not have to be left a widow to Liu Biao... If I kill Liu Biao tonight, I will give him a hat to wear tomorrow.……
