Chapter 619 Buff
When Liu Pan heard Yi Ji's words, he did not dare to neglect him at all. In the city, Yi Ji is a well-deserved chief counselor. Over the years, he has made suggestions for Liu Pan, won the trust of Liu Pan, and is also quite trusted in Nanyang.
"Sir, Cao Jun came here for the first time, and his foothold was not stable. It was obvious that he bullied the defenders in the city and dared not go out of the city to fight. In this way, I let him see the demeanor of Jingzhou Erlang. Even if he can't win, Cao Jun can't get a discount." A flash of light flashed in Liu Pan's eyes, and he said firmly.
"Since the general has made a decision, I will no longer persuade him. I will order the soldiers to secretly answer the general. If there is anything wrong, I will retreat immediately." Yijidao.
After Liu Pan agreed, he hurried down the city wall.
Cao Cao did not give an order, so the soldiers were naturally unprepared. It was not until the gate opened and a cavalry rushed out of the city that the soldiers reacted and hurried to report the news.
Liu Pan led a thousand cavalry and entered the Cao army camp without any obstacles. The cavalry was originally the nemesis of the infantry. Even if the cavalry in Jingzhou was not very strong, it was definitely not the cavalry of the Cao army that could resist.
A thousand cavalry was as powerful as a broken bamboo. Cao Jun, who killed him, panicked and retreated steadily. It was not until Cao Cao got the news that he ordered the tiger and leopard to fight that the situation would be stabilized.
Seeing that there could be no more big action, Liu Pan withdrew to Wancheng, leaving Cao Cao with a low face.
Suddenly, Cao Cao laughed, and all the soldiers around him looked sideways. Unexpectedly, they had lost so many soldiers and supplies. The camp they had finally built was also destroyed, and the general could still laugh.
"Lord, why are you laughing?" Xi Zhicai asked puzzledly. He lost so much when he first arrived, and Xi Zhicai was not in a good mood.
"Haha, I thought that the Jingzhou Army was guarding the city one by one, but I didn't expect that there were people who dared to fight out of the city. Such a battle is interesting." Cao Cao explained.
Everyone is ashamed. When they meet the best, they have never seen such a best. The stronger the enemy is, the more excited they are. What's the reason?
"Continue to build the camp, General Xiahou led a cavalry to protect it." After Cao Cao ordered, he turned around and left.
"Congratulations to the general's victory, which made Cao Jun suffer a big loss and greatly increased the prestige of our army." The Yi nationality is arched.
Liu Pan waved his hand and said, "The military division is also kidding me. What a big victory? It's just adding a little trouble to Cao's army." In fact, Liu Pan was also a little proud in his heart. Cao Jun dominated the world, but he didn't expect to fall in Wancheng.
The next battle is a little regularized. Liu Pan will definitely not make the thought of leading the cavalry out of the city to attack Cao's army again. With Cao Cao's treachery, he must have set up troops and horses in the battalion, just waiting for Liu Pan to plunge in. The surface is loose, just to paralyze the enemy. In the past few days, Liu Pan has been busy adding Solidify the city wall, mobilize the young men in the city, and assist the army to defend the city.
Liu Pan's previous rush made Cao Cao mistakenly think that Liu Pan was the courage of an empty man. The next war made Cao Cao change his outlook. From the perspective of Liu Pan's defense of the city, he was definitely a general. No matter how sharp Cao's offensive was, he could never break through Wancheng. In addition, there were young men carrying supplies in the city. It is more than enough to save more troops to cope with the attack of Cao's army.
Such a delay lasted for nearly a month. Cao's army lost 5,000 people, and there were countless casualties. The losses of the defenders in the city were a little less. However, under the experience of war, when the soldiers faced the enemy, their eyes were more firm, without the previous panic. He was moving from a highly trained soldier to an elite soldier. Qing Zhuang also quickly got used to the battle again and again. When carrying grain and materials, he could also give Cao troops outside the city a blow.
Seeing that the defenders in the city are getting stronger and stronger, Cao Cao's heart can no longer calm down. He also has an insider in Wancheng, but his strength is too low to pose a threat to the defenders. Cao Cao will definitely not do the matter of consuming a chess piece for nothing.
In Xinye City, after Zhang Fei heard that Cao Cao's army came to Wancheng, he couldn't sit still. In addition to Wancheng, in the rest of the counties in Nanyang County, Xinye's defense was the strongest. There was nothing else. In the city, there were such a fierce general like Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, as well as Liu Xuande's benevolence. The people were attached, and even the people in the nearby counties listened. It is said that the arrival of Cao's army rushed to Xinye in order to avoid this disaster. Gradually, the number of people in Xinye City reached more than 50,000, making Xinye City, which was not very large, suddenly bustling.
Since the loss of Xuzhou, Liu Bei has deeply realized the importance of a counselor to the army. Sun Qian's ability in all aspects is good, but he lacks the unique vision on the battlefield. It is still useful to contact other princes on weekdays. In the face of a real battle, the availability is very small.
After Xinye was stationed, Liu Bei has not stopped pursuing famous people, but what he thought was too simple. In troubled times, his strength was the best. As a Han clan, Liu Bei took a lot of advantage to a certain extent, but it was not enough to attract too many people, but he also recruited some talents for Liu Bei. None of them can be seen by Liu Bei. What he needs is a talent who can control the situation.
Recently, when he heard the name of Wolong, he has been yearning for it. This is the critical moment for the battle between Cao's army and Jingzhou's army. Cao Cao may send troops to attack Xinye at any time. For the sake of counselors, Liu Bei can't take care of so much.
After Sun Qian found out where Wolong lived, Liu Bei took Zhang Fei and left Guan Yu to guard Xinye in case of change.
After seeing this residence called Wolong, Liu Bei felt more and more that Wolong was definitely not a simple person. Even the boys he met on the road could speak out, not to mention Wolong himself. Therefore, Liu Bei was very excited. After wandering for many years, he finally had to have a counselor of his own.
The place where Wolong lives is very simple, a few thatched huts.
Zhang Fei couldn't help saying, "Brother, I expect that Wolong doesn't have any real ability. You can know by looking at where he lives, and Wolong must know that the eldest brother is coming and doesn't go out to greet him. I'm going to find him."
Liu Bei grabbed Zhang Fei. He knew that this guy was a master who dared to do what he dared to say. It would be wise to offend Wolong and delay his big plan to find a counselor.
"Third brother, don't be presumptuous. Mr. Wolong is a peerless master. How can he go out to greet me? Or wait for me to ask." Liu Bei tidied up his clothes and walked forward slowly.
After hearing Liu Bei's question, the busy boy at the door got up and said, "This general, sir has gone out to visit friends and has not returned so far."
"Oh, do you know when Mr. Wolong will come back?" Liu Bei thought about waiting for a few days at Wolong's residence, which could also show that he was patient enough.
"That's not sure. Sir goes out to visit friends. Sometimes it's ten days and a half months, and sometimes it's more than a month." The boy replied.
Liu Bei's face showed a trace of disappointment. He definitely couldn't be here for ten and a half days. Cao Jun is in Nanyang County. Once the new field changes, so many years of efforts will be in the as a loss. The arrival of Cao Cao let Liu Bei see the opportunity to a certain extent. An opportunity to become stronger again. Cao Jun has 100,000 people. Liu Biao must be unable to resist. At that time, he will be used. This is also the best time to seize the military power. Once he has military power in his hand, it will be much easier to do other things.
"That's the trouble. I hope Mr. Wolong can inform Xinye Liu Bei's visit when he comes back." Liu Bei arched his hand.
The boy hurriedly returned the gift, Xinye Liu Bei, he has heard that he is benevolent and righteous, and his reputation in Jingzhou is not weak.
"I will let you know." The boy said.
Walking on the road, Zhang Fei couldn't help shouting, "What a bird. When you see the eldest brother coming, it's okay if you don't go out to greet him. He's not at home yet. It's for nothing. Next time the eldest brother speaks directly, I, Lao Zhang, just tie him back. There's no need to be so much trouble."
Liu Bei scolded, "Third brother, if you are like this again, I won't bring you here next time. Mr. Wolong is a master, and you must treat him with courtesy."
When Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei scolding him, he didn't dare to say more. Guan Yu sent him more to protect Liu Bei's safety, and he stayed in Xinye City all day, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"What, big brother, do you want to come again next time?" Zhang Fei suddenly remembered what Liu Bei said just now and said.
"If you don't invite Mr. Wolong, I won't give up." Liu Bei said firmly that there is no false scholar under the reputation. Liu Bei is also in a hurry to go to the hospital. It is really uncomfortable to live without a counselor for many years. This also confirms his idea of inviting Wolong to the army.
Seven days later, Liu Bei visited again. The boy told him that he still didn't come back, so Liu Bei had to go home with Zhang Fei.
The Nanyang War has entered a white-hot stage. The two sides invested more than 8,000 troops at one time and launched an attack in three directions.
Cao Cao did not expect that there would be such a strong army in Jingzhou. In the past, he only heard that there were 100,000 people in the area of Jingzhou, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and enough soldiers. Now he has some experience.
Without war achievements for a long time, Cao Cao was also very anxious. He suggested that Cao Cao first take the county walls around Wancheng, and Xinye City is also among them.
At this time, Liu Bei had come to Mr. Wolong's residence for the third time. The affairs in the army were too busy, and he could not be separated.
"Do you dare to ask Mr. Wolong if he can stay at home?" Liu Bei asked.
When the boy saw that it was Liu Bei, he smiled and said, "This gentleman is back, but he is resting at this time." The boy's face showed an embarrassed look.
Liu Bei said, "It doesn't matter. The two of us can just wait outside the door."
Zhang Fei said dissatisfiedly, "My eldest brother is here. Why don't you wake up Mr. Wolong..."
Liu Bei covered Zhang Fei's mouth and whispered, "Don't disturb Mr. Wolong."
