The footsteps of the Wuxi barbarian army were like an unstoppable torrent on the land of Nanjun, breaking through layers of obstacles like a destruction.

He forced his way across the Jushui River, crossed the Nanzhang River, and gathered at Lankou to kill Chen Ying.

Although Shamoke's popularity is not as good as Dong Qi, who is far away in Luoyang, no one can match the nine counties and eighty-one counties in Jingxiang. After twenty days of raid, the Wuxi barbarian army finally arrived at the banks of the Yishui River. They only need to cross the Yishui River to seize Yishui City, even if they have completed the strategic intention of sending troops this time. Shamoke couldn't help but be ecstatic and ordered the three armies to set up camps on the Yishui River, and force the Yishui River to seize Yishui City in the future.

The moonlight was bright, and Shamoke held the steel whip, stood by the Yishui River, looking to the other side of the river.

On the other side of the river, a large camp of Jingzhou Army stood in the night, and occasionally there were sounds of scattered fighting, which was also clearly heard.

Hu Leimao followed Samoke leisurely, gnawing at the grass on the shore from time to time. The fifty martial artists were about a hundred steps away from Samoke, vigilantly observing the movements around. These martial artists all came to Wuling with Samoke from the Western Regions.

Zhou Chao had no smile on his fat face.

He stood beside Shamoko, feeling uneasy.

The war went so smoothly!

It was so smooth that it was a bit unbelievable. Sometimes the Zhou Dynasty would feel that it was just a dream. When it woke up, there was nothing left...

He wanted to remind Shamoko, but looking at the fierce face like a tiger, Zhou Chao felt a little scared again.

On the contrary, Shamoko realized the uneasy mood of Zhou Dynasty and smiled calmly, "Ling Xian, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Master, Mo Jiang just feels that all this went too smoothly and it seems not normal."

"Is it going well?"

Zhou Chao could not hear the joy and anger in Shamoke's tone, and replied boldly: "It's not that bad, but... I remember that the Grand Governor once said: If something goes wrong, there will be monsters. The Jingzhou army is not weak, and there are many capable people under Liu Biao's command. Logically speaking, the battle along the way should not be so smooth... I just think that there may be problems. After all, Li Yan is unusual."

Although Shamoko was so blinded by victory at this moment, he was not without thoughts.

Li Yan...

This person is very familiar to Shamoke. When she fought in Wancheng for more than a hundred days, Shamoke and Li Yan fought side by side and had experienced Li Yan's ruthless methods. Therefore, Shamoke was still very concerned about Li Yan and was somewhat wary of him.

The purpose of Meicheng to guard the way of the wild is actually due to this consideration.

As long as the Yidao is in hand, Shamoke's Wuxi barbarian army will have a way out. If it fails, it can safely retreat from Yidao to Wushan and return to Wuling.

After pondering for a moment, Shamoko said, "Lingxian thought what should we do?"

Zhou Dynasty thought for a while, "When the king came to this point, Chao also said something about retreating troops. However, if you cross the river tomorrow, the king should be careful of the Jingzhou army raiding from Jingshan. On the flanks, there must be a general guarding it. Chao thought... he could order Guo Shi to lead the army and guard the important roads of Jingshan."

Shamoko nodded, "What Lingxian said is very... what else?"

"If I were Li Yan, I would definitely attack from the side when our army was in a fierce offensive. Therefore, if we gathered in the blue mouth, we must not do anything without defense."

Similar to the "Jin" on the river, the "Ji" in Jingzhou also means ferry crossing.

The river has ferries such as Wushejin and Mengjin. The more in Jingzhou, only in Nanjun, are located in Lankouju and Danyangju.

In addition, countless ferry crossings of all sizes are named after "gathering".

For example, there are place names such as Linjuju and Nanzhangju on the Nanzhang River, but in comparison, they are not very important.

What the Zhou Dynasty said was very true. If Li Yan attacked from the side, he would inevitably gather in the blue mouth.

Shamoko thought for a while, "Ling Xian thought about it very carefully. Why not do this? You brought five thousand men and rush to Lankou to gather overnight, how about you?"

Zhou Dynasty intervened and said, "Don't worry, the Zhou Dynasty will definitely not humiliate the king's order!"

In this way, the Zhou Dynasty, Guo Shi and others led their troops overnight and headed to the Jingshan Road and Lankou to camp respectively.

After Shamoko made the arrangements, he breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was careful to guard against him along the way.

Although he said that the Jingzhou army was like grass in his eyes, after following Dong Qi for many years, Shamoke also knew one thing: sometimes, even if he was brave enough to drive away mountains and rivers, he could not compare to a small school drug plan by those literati and strategists. Jingzhou was also hidden and lying on the tiger.

After returning to the big tent, Shamoko was about to send someone to inspect the camp. Suddenly a small school came to report that Yicheng sent people to issue a letter of war.

Shamoko couldn't help but find it interesting.

The garrison of Yicheng was named Xiang Jue (yue), a local, with a kind temperament and an honest gentleman.

This man is proficient in internal affairs and is highly valued by Liu Biao. He is just a little cowardly. If he is not good at it, he is very timid. In the past, hundreds of thieves attacked Yicheng, and he was so scared that he closed the four gates of the sects and did not dare to leave the city. You know, he had two thousand county soldiers in his hand. Although he could not be considered a formal official army, he would have no problem fighting hundreds of thieves.

It is precisely because of this that Xiang Yu has a nickname, Yicheng Guiling.

This means that this is like a timid person. When encountering dangerous things, he will retract his body back into the turtle shell and dare not stand out.

How could this guy have the courage to write a letter of war?

"Send him in!"

A moment later, a young man in his early twenties, accompanied by a black-faced guard, strode into the military tent.

The young man looked handsome and had a pretty face.

In the big tent, he bowed to Shamoke, "Zhuge Liang was ordered to come and write a letter to meet the barbarian king of Wuxi."

Zhuge Liang?

Shamoke felt that the name sounded very familiar, so he looked at Zhuge Liang in confusion and suddenly asked, "Mr. Zhuge Ziyu, who is you?"

"That's Liang's brother."

Oh, I remembered it... My second brother once said that Zhuge Jin had a younger brother named Zhuge Liang, who was also an amazing person.

But no matter how you look at it, you are just a white-faced scholar. The black-faced man behind him looks even more majestic and a character.

"Who are you?"

The black-faced man stepped forward and bowed, saying, "The villain Zhuge Cang is just an unknown young man."

It is indeed an unknown man, and I have never even heard of it. If I call it Dian Wei Dongqi here, I will definitely know Zhuge Cang.

Back then, the two brothers marching across Kanto, and once ambushed the Yellow Turban Warriors of Taiping Road, and captured one person, Zhou Cang.

However, Zhou Cang was a scheming person and was unwilling to surrender to Dong Qi. Instead, he met Zhuge Gui and after some persuasion, he surrendered to the Zhuge family. He changed his name to Zhuge Cang and followed Zhuge family. He has never appeared again since Taiping Dao was wiped out.

Shamoke asked, "Zhuge Liang, your brother is now serving under my second brother, and he is already the prefect of Fufeng. Why are you..."

Before Shamoke finished speaking, Zhuge Liang calmly interrupted his words, "King, everyone has their own ambitions. Liang is here today to issue a letter of war."

It seems that he is unwilling to mention his brother.

Shamoko didn't understand, but he didn't ask. He just thought that after he was captured tomorrow, I would send someone to my second brother.

"Zhuge Liang, are you here to send a letter of war?"

"My master heard that the Wuxi Barbarian King was extremely brave and was the best in the world, so he admired him very much. He wanted to offer the city to surrender, but everyone had two generals under his command, and ordered Wu Jubao Long to be both generals, and had the courage to be brave enough to be defeated by ten thousand men. These two people did not accept the king and wanted to compete with the king... The master said that if the king was willing, as long as he defeated those two people, he would definitely offer Yicheng."

When Shamoko heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Fight?

In this world, besides my elder brother and second brother, and I also have elder brother Huang, even Lu Bu is not afraid. What else would I be afraid of Wu Jubaolong?

It is naturally the best to be able to capture Yicheng without any blood!

Shamoko said: "What's the problem? I'll do it."

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, "But our two armies are separated from each other and face each other, how can we compete? If the king is willing, our army is willing to retreat thirty miles and let the king cross the river to fight. I wonder what the king wants?"

Shamoko narrowed his eyes and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Crossing the river and fighting? The second brother said that you need to be careful when crossing the river. The military strategy is as good as crossing the river and attacking it. If they cheat, wouldn’t it be dangerous?

"Will I bully you when I cross the river? Ha, I won't take advantage of you, I'd better retreat thirty miles, come here."

"this……"

Zhuge Liang seemed to be embarrassed and hesitated a little.

But after this hesitation, Shamoko further confirmed his judgment and said, "This matter is decided like this. If you agree or not, you will decide. If there is no answer tomorrow, I will force the Yishui River and attack Yicheng. Then, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Rong Liang went back to report this matter to the Lord."

Zhuge Liang seemed very unwilling to give in and bowed to Shamoke to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Shamoke suddenly said, "Well, Zhuge Cang has a good body, why not fight your king tomorrow?"

Zhuge Cang's face seemed to be deep in water, turned his head and looked at Shamoke, and said in a deep voice: "Since the king has spoken, how dare Zhuge Cang not obey his orders?"

*******

Nothing happened that night.

The next day, Shamoko rose up early in the morning and prepared to launch an attack.

In his opinion, Xiang Jing certainly did not dare to agree to his request. There would definitely be a fierce battle between the two armies.

Seeing that Chen Shi was approaching, Shamoko was ready to attack. But at this time, someone suddenly came from the other side of the river and said, "Please retreat thirty miles, let us wait across the river and fight with the king."

Ya, I really dare to face the challenge!

Shamoke couldn't help but wonder, but he had already spoken last night, so he naturally didn't want to regret it. He ordered the army to retreat thirty miles away. The Wuxi barbarian army was ready, but he suddenly retreated thirty miles away, so he naturally didn't understand. In this retreat, the original formation was scattered, and many people couldn't even figure out what was going on.

The Jingzhou army had already begun to cross the river, and the Wuxi barbarian army slowly retreated.

When the first wave of Jingzhou troops landed ashore, a sudden loud roar was heard: "The barbarian soldiers have been defeated, Jingzhou Erlang, follow me to attack!"

In an instant, the sound of the trumpet sounded in the air.

The Jingzhou Army didn't know what was going on. Anyway, when they saw the Wuxi Barbarian Army retreating, they were first confused, but then they heard the roars and believed it immediately. On the contrary, the Wuxi Barbarian Army didn't know the situation. Their own army was indeed retreating, and they were immediately confused when they were rushed by the Jingzhou Army.
