Chapter 625 Liu Bei Retreat

To be honest, Cao Cao doesn't want to have a bad relationship with the Xiliang Army, but he knows that the Xiliang Army will not be willing to stay in the desolate and other barren places, and will definitely have a battle with his own army. Cao Cao still knows something about the foundation of Yuan Shao in Jizhou. In a short time, it is not easy for Jia Rong to capture Jizhou, and And in the intelligence, there were only 50,000 soldiers attacking Jizhou, which made Cao Cao more assured. Even if Yuan Shao was stupid and had so many soldiers and horses in his hand, he would not even be able to defeat the Xiliang Army.

"If you continue to attack Nanyang County tomorrow, be sure to take down Nanyang County." Cao Cao said.

Nanyang County is a very hard bone. Liu Pan is very determined to defend the city. In addition, with the help of Iraqis in the city, it is difficult for Cao's army to take advantage of it. No matter what tricks Cao's army has, it has been solved by it. For a while, Cao's army has no good way.

But after Cao Cao occupied the county seat around Nanyang County, Nanyang has become a lonely city. Unless Liu Biao leads the army in person, it is difficult to escape the destruction.

"Son of the Holy King, Cao Cao led 100,000 troops to attack Nanyang County. The military situation is critical. Please rescue the Holy King as soon as possible." An official said hurriedly when he saw that Liu Biao had a hard time going to court.

Since he became emperor, Liu Biao was still very diligent at the beginning. He went to the court on time and handled affairs every day, but after a long time, he felt that it was not so good to be an emperor. Food, clothing, housing and transportation were all limited. Liu Biao, the emperor, was not as casual as Yuan Shu. He strictly followed the specifications of Emperor Han. Of.

Therefore, Liu Biao sometimes went to court for three days, and sometimes ten days. For example, this time, it reached half a month. When the officials in the court saw this scene, they were all worried. Now Cao Jun has committed the situation. Can such a holy emperor around him make people feel at ease? Many officials even secretly contacted Cao Jun after giving birth and went back. In the eyes of the family, the development of the family is the most important. As for whether Liu Biao is still the emperor at that time, he has little to do with them. Cao Cao treats the family generously, and it is a good choice to rely on him.

In fact, this can't blame the officials under his command for their incompetence. Officials naturally want to rely on more powerful people to seek asylum.

"Well, I already know that the Cao thief came to attack, and the people of Jingzhou suffered. The generals and soldiers should fight bravely to kill the enemy. In the past, Liu Pan of Nanyang County made many achievements. I made him as General Hu Ben, and all the generals in the army were rewarded." Liu said.

"I would like to report to the emperor, and now Cao's army has surrounded Nanyang County. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the angels to reach the city. Please make a decision as soon as possible." The official said again unwillingly.

"Nonsense, my Jingzhou army has won every battle. How can the little Cao army resist? Lord Kuai, don't you think so?" Liu Watch turned his eyes to Kuo Liang.

Kui Liang's mouth was bitter. Liu Biao was the emperor. His words and deeds were the imperial edict and could not be disobeyed. However, the situation in Nanyang was critical. He had the intention to persuade him, but he still swallowed the words and arched his hand and said, "The words of the emperor are very good."

"There are 100,000 soldiers and horses in Cao's army, and there are also 30,000 soldiers in Nanyang County. What's the fear? When I come, I will be sure to defeat Cao's army and subdue Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other Han territory." Liu said boldly.

Seeing that Liu Biao was not confused, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I want to report to you, I have something to do." It was not easy to catch Liu Biao last time, and naturally he said everything as soon as possible.

"Hurry up and say it." Liu Watch waved his hand impatiently.

"Liu Bei, the magistrate of Xinye County, abandoned the city and left. Now he is heading for Jiangling. There are about tens of thousands of people in the army."

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Liu Biao was shocked and said, "Liu Bei is a new wild order. Why did he abandon the city and leave? Why do the people follow? Liu Biao's impression of Liu Bei is still very deep. When he attacked the Hangu Pass, the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou soldiers was not weak, but Liu Bei was obedient and operated against Cao. He was beaten and had no home. After becoming the emperor, Liu Biao immediately sealed Liu Bei's senior officials to show that he was tying him up and put Liu Bei in Xinye. Isn't it that Liu Biao wanted to rely on? Liu Bei's strength was consumed by Cao's army to save Jingzhou.

"Liu Bei annihilated 4,000 enemies outside Xinye City. In Xinye City, he annihilated 3,000 enemies, killed more than 7,000 Cao's army in front and after, and captured countless weapons. However, Cao's army was powerful, so Liu Bei had to avoid its edge." Cai Mao held the boxing, and he was not interested in the game played by the minister of the court. It is said that there was nothing to do with him in such a court, but Liu Biao could not resist the pillow wind blown by the Cai family and restarted Cai Mao, but it was not a real official position, and it was just a decoration in the court.

"Okay, Liu Xuande has meritorious service. It should be rewarded." Liu Biao gave another reward. He didn't realize that Jingzhou's warehouse was no longer enough to pay. Not to mention the reward, it was the normal salary of officials in the DPRK, and it was very difficult for Jingzhou to pay.

"Sir, Liu Bei, Xiao Xiongye, and now I'm close to Jiangling. I don't know what I want to do. I have to guard against it?" Kurai Liang persuaded.

After some bargaining, we finally discussed a suitable countermeasure to prevent Liu Bei from entering Jiangling, but to return to Nanyang County. In this way, it not only alleviated the crisis in Nanyang, but also avoided Liu Bei's idea, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After retreating from the court, Liu Biao lay on the couch extremely comfortably under the service of his concubine. As for the letters with the word "emergency", they had already been thrown aside by him and did not look at them. The emperor's comfortable days made him feel that the previous decades had been in vain.

What do you want to eat, what do you want to play, the harem beauty, you can choose, and the officials under your command can't say anything, because they are the emperor, no matter what they do, they should do.

After Liu Bei got the imperial edict from Liu Biao, he smiled bitterly. Didn't Liu Biao make it clear that his team would die? Cao Jun was elite and surrounded Nanyang County, waiting for the reinforcements from Jingzhou to be defeated one by one. I don't know whether Liu Biao was really confused or fake.

"Sir, there is an imperial decree now. I don't know what kind of strategy you have?" Liu Bei humbly asked for advice. After getting along with him during this period of time, he found that Zhuge Liang was indeed a rare talent. He was proficient in both military and political affairs, and his strategies were often whipped in, which made people feel enlightened. Compared with him, Sun Qian did not enter the stream at all.

"Liu Biao, the thief of the country, when the former emperor was there, he recruited the princes of the world to fight against Dong Zhuo. He should not follow, and when the emperor was in trouble, he still stuck to Jingzhou, named Han Chen. In fact, he was a Han thief. Now Cao Cao has invaded the territory and should also perish. Looking at the sky at night, he found that Liu Jingsheng's death will not be soon. The lord should take this good opportunity to take Jingzhou ten. Thousands of people are in their hands to resist Cao Jun, so that the people of Jingzhou can live a stable life. Zhuge Liang still misses Jingzhou. Jingzhou is located in the Central Plains and is the land of the four wars, but it is rich. If you take Jingzhou as a springboard and take the land of Wuhui Bashu and continue to develop, it is not without the strength to fight with the Cao army of the Xiliang army. In the Longzhong, Zhuge Liang analyzed the same way. At that time, Cao Cao and Liu Beihe will be formed in the world. Jia Rong, the three princes, formed a powerful force, but Liu Bei has always been unshirking the land of the same clan, and this matter has been delayed.

"Sir, don't mention this again. Jing Sheng and I have kindness. Now that Jingzhou is in trouble, how can we sit by and watch it? Now Jingsheng has a destiny to let the people enter Jiangling, we should do it as soon as possible to avoid losses in Nanyang."

Seeing that Liu Bei had already made a determination, Zhuge Liang knew that what he had just said was in vain.

After replenishing grain and materials outside Jiangling City, Liu Bei led the army to Nanyang.

The food and grass in the city is only enough for half a month. Because the cavalry of the Cao army keeps wandering on the battlefield, the food and grass from Jingzhou is difficult to reach, and even the arrows and other consumables are not much.

Liu Pan has not walked down the city wall for three days and three nights. Now he is walking on the wall. With a completely strong will, Cao's army outside the city does not retreat for a day, so he will not go down the wall for a day. He and the soldiers are eating and living in the city. Seeing that the Lord's general is so desperate, the soldiers under his command are also fighting bravely to kill the enemy. On several times, Cao's army is one. You can attack it with a click and be stubbornly resisted by the soldiers.

"Lord, I'm afraid there is not much food and grass in the city. It's the best time for the army to attack and take down Nanyang."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "The military master's words are reasonable. If the order goes on, the three armies will keep attacking Nanyang day and night, and they can't give the defenders in the city a chance to breathe."

"Report, Liu Beijun is only 50 miles away from Nanyang." The messenger hurried to the camp and said loudly.

"Liu Beijun? How many people are there?" Cao Cao doubted that Liu Bei had gone in the direction of Jiangling since Xinye's victory. Cao Cao did not order the soldiers to pursue him, but he didn't expect him to come back.

"About 10,000 people." The messenger returned to the road.

"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yuan Rang, you lead 3,000 cavalry and be sure to defeat Liu Bei's army."

"No." Xia Hou Dun held the boxing and dispatched 3,000 cavalry at a time. It was definitely a big deal in the Central Plains. Since the Xiliang Army sold war horses, the cavalry in the vassals has not been so rare. As long as you have money, you can buy a war horse, build a saddle horseshoe, and let the soldiers train for a while, it is cavalry. The cavalry moves fast on the battlefield. It is most suitable for long-range raids and harassment. Three thousand cavalry fought against 10,000 soldiers. Xia Houdun was very confident to defeat Liu Bei.

In this kind of open and upright battle, all the intrigues and tricks are useless.

"Military division, the detective reported that the Cao cavalry was only 30 miles away from our army." Zhang Fei hurried to Liu Bei's side and said to Zhuge Liang first.

Since Zhuge Liang's battle in Xinye, Liu Bei has realized Zhuge Liang's military talent, so he ordered his soldiers to inform Zhuge Liang first once there is a situation.

"Lord, Cao Jun came aggressively this time. It is not appropriate to fight with him. Don't avoid its edge and wait for the opportunity to rescue Nanyang. It is not a day and an overnight effort. Cao's army has nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the military is strong." Zhuge Liang said slowly.
