Zhao Yun was originally sent to feint the attack on Shangyong, but Liu Jing then transferred him into Shu and participated in the capture of Bashu. Zhao Yun did not follow the marching trajectory of the main force in Jingzhou. Instead, under the leadership of Deng Zhi, he led more than 1,000 people to intersperse from the northern part of Jiangyang County. He wanted to join Huang Zhong's army in Wuyang County, but he came by coincidence and happened to save Huang Zhong.

Zhao Yun crossed his spear and shouted loudly: "If you don't want to live, come up and die."

Zhao Yun fought alone in Nanjun with more than 100,000 Cao Cao's army, which had already spread all over the world. His reputation was also very famous in Bashu. When the army saw him as brave as a tiger, they heard that he was actually Zhao Yun, who was the bravest in the world, couldn't help but feel fear and retreated one after another.

At this time, Wu Yi saw that Huang Zhong's army was gathering quickly. He knew that the opportunity for the night attack had been lost, so he ordered: "Retreat the troops."

The Yizhou army quickly evacuated, and Zhao Yun's troops were weak and did not chase after him. He waited until the Yizhou army completely withdrew, and then turned his head and ran towards Huang Zhong.

At this time, Huang Zhong's army had gradually recovered from the chaos and was quickly gathering a whole team, but the number was only about 4,000, which was more than half. This made Huang Zhong extremely depressed. He was defeated so miserably in this battle.

Yan Yan next to him comforted him: "This battle has not been long and should not be so miserable. I think many soldiers should have run away and slowly gathered together, and they should be found."

Huang Zhong sighed. No matter how many he could recover, he lost in this battle and was actually attacked. He had never encountered such a thing.

At this time, Zhao Yun urged him to step forward and bowed: "How can the old general?"

Huang Zhong stepped forward and bowed. He then remembered that Zhao Yun did not enter Sichuan with them. He couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Where did the dragon come from?"

"I was ordered by the governor of the state of the state to enter Shu and left the north of Jiangyang County. I originally wanted to join the old general in Wuyang County, but I didn't expect to encounter a battle."

Huang Zhong became more and more surprised in his heart. He sighed, "This is really God's will. God sent Long to save us and saved my reputation. Please give me a gift."

After saying that, Huang Zhong turned over and got off the horse and was about to kneel down to salute. Zhao Yun quickly dismounted and helped him up, "The old general cannot do it."

Seeing that he refused to accept the courtesy, Huang Zhong became more and more grateful. He patted Zhao Yun on the arm and introduced Yan Yan to him, "This is General Yan, originally Baling Shou, with a strong martial arts skills and a brave champion."

Zhao Yun greeted him happily, "It turns out that the old general is the guardian of Bashu Nanshao, and Zhao Yun has long admired him."

Yan Yan had long heard of Zhao Yun's reputation, and after Lu Bu's death, he was recognized as the world's number one general. Even Ma Chao of Xiliang was amazed that Zhao Yun broke through the siege of Cao Cao's army of more than 100,000, and felt ashamed of himself. In this way, how could Yan Yan dare to talk about his martial arts skills in front of Zhao Yun?

Huang Zhong's introduction made him feel ashamed, but Zhao Yun knew his reputation made him quite proud, Yan Yan hurriedly said, "General Zhao's reputation Yan Yan has long admired him. Unexpectedly, he was rescued by the general today. Yan Yan is very grateful."

The two of them said a few polite words, and then Zhao Yun asked Huang Zhong: "Can you ask the old general, what should we do next?"

Huang Zhong sighed, "We are short of troops, and Wu Yi is a good strategy person. Let's wait for the state governor to come and discuss countermeasures."

Zhao Yun nodded, "It is important to gather the scattered soldiers first."

Huang Zhong had the same intention. He immediately sent twenty patrol teams to collect the fleeing defeated soldiers in Jingzhou around him. When dawn was about to dawn, scattered soldiers returned one after another and finally rectified the army, with about 8,000 people. In other words, in this battle, he lost 2,000 soldiers and a lot of mules and horse supplies. Although it was not a heavy burden, it also made Huang Zhong feel depressed.

Huang Zhong did not dare to stop in Wuyang County, so he led his army south. The next afternoon, they finally waited for the arrival of the main force of the Jingzhou naval army.

In the cabin, Liu Jing listened quietly to Huang Zhong's statement. After Huang Zhong finished speaking, he sighed and said guiltily: "I believe in the words of the enemy's surrender, and lost my vigilance, resulting in being defeated by the enemy's ambush. Please punish the state governor."

Liu Jing shook his head, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, and the veteran general doesn't have to take it to heart."

Liu Jing smiled at Zhao Yun again and said, "How come General Zhao came so coincidental that he happened to save General Huang."

Zhao Yun spread his hands and smiled and said, "It can only be said that it is God's will, and I can't explain it."

Everyone laughed. At this time, Yan Yan said, "Qi Bingzhou Governor, Wu Yang City is tall and strong. Wu Yi is experienced and has a heavy army and enough food. The city is difficult to break, so we have no choice."

Yan Yan finished speaking, Sima Yi next to him smiled and said, "I have a plan to take Wuyang City as easy as a backhand."

Huang Zhong and Yan Yan looked at each other, and both of them were overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Please give me advice, and I will come out."

Sima Yi smiled and whispered a few words, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan praised each other, and even Liu Jing nodded slightly. Sima Yi was well-known, but he was indeed well-known.

The next morning, the main warships of the Jingzhou Army continued to move northwards with one thousand five warships puffed up their sails and rushed northwards. The sails covered the sky and covered the river. When the huge fleet passed by the river outside Wuyang City, the defenders on the city changed color, and each of them showed fear. They had never seen such a spectacular fleet.

Even Wu Yi's face changed drastically, and he was worried in his eyes. Although he knew that Liu Jing led the army to fight west, he did not expect that it was so huge. The fleet was stretched. How many troops should be preserved in Bashu?

At this time, Deputy General Deng Xian stepped forward and said, "General, it seems a bit bad. The Jingzhou army did not care about Wuyang County, but went directly to attack Chengdu."

Wu Yi nodded, and he also realized that the other party was a fleet and would not consider the matter of logistical cut. He was ordered to go south to defend Wuyang County and obviously made a mistake. If Chengdu fell, they would be finished. Chengdu only had 20,000 troops, so I am afraid it would not be able to defend it.

Thinking of this, he said to Deng Xian: "I must lead my army back to Chengdu for reinforcements immediately. You and General Leng can lead 4,000 troops to defend Wuyang City. If the Jingzhou army is defeated, you can intercept them."

"Abide by the orders of low duties"

Wu Yi was anxious and ordered Ling Bao to lead 15,000 troops from Lu to quickly return to Chengdu.

Ten miles away from Wuyang City, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan set up camp again. This place is only a relatively hidden valley. Their Tibetan army is in the valley, waiting for news of Wuyang County's exploration.

The valley was relatively empty, and Huang Zhong's army laid several large tents. In the central army tent, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan were listening to a local guide's story.

The guide is a woodcutter in his sixties. He has been working in this area for nearly forty years and knows every grass and tree. He drank a sip of water and smiled and said, "This area of ​​mountains is called Wushan. Wuyang is named because it is located in the north of the mountain range. There are many valleys and ravines. This valley is called Shinniao Valley locally. Every autumn, there are many birds in the valley. Like the Hulu Valley in front, there are only one dead valley with openings.

After passing Wuyang County, there is another slightly lower hilly mountain range called Pengshan. It is said that it is Pengzu's bone burial place. After passing these two mountain ranges, it is an endless plain."

Huang Zhong knew all these, Yan Yan told him, and he asked patiently: "There are places to hide soldiers in Pengshan, just like this valley."

The old guide thought for a while and said, "There is a valley called Zangbang Valley, but it is not on the official road. It is two miles away from the official road. It can pass through a small path, which is enough to hide more than 10,000 soldiers."

Huang Zhong quickly spread the map, the guide came forward and found Zangbing Valley, "It's here, next to it is an abandoned official road, I often go there to collect firewood."

Huang Zhong nodded. This position was very good, and it was the place where he needed to hide his troops. He asked again: "There is something else to go to the Tibetan troops valley. I mean I don't pass by Wuyang City."

The guide laughed, "How come there isn't it? You can walk around, I at least know that there is a small piece of paper."

At this time, a soldier ran to the tent to report: "Report to General Wu Yi, leading the army to leave the city, the scout said that there were about 15,000 people."

Huang Zhong and Yan Yan exchanged a glance, and both smiled. As expected, Wu Yi found that it was meaningless to guard Wuyang and withdrew his troops back to Chengdu. Yan Yan smiled and said, "Then we should take action next."

Wuyang City was originally Liu Xun as the main general and Ling Bao as the deputy general. After Liu Xun was killed by Huang Zhong, his subordinates were taken away by Zhang Ren and did not hand them over to Ling Bao. This made Ling Bao unhappy. According to the military rules of Yizhou, 5,000 troops could be promoted to lieutenant. If Ling Bao accepted Liu Xun's subordinates, his subordinates would have more than 5,000 people and promoted to lieutenant. Obviously, Wu Yi did not give him this opportunity.

After Wu Yi led his army to the north, Ling Bao then understood Wu Yi's intention. Wu Yi ordered his general Deng Xian to be the chief general of Wuyang County, while Ling Bao was still the deputy general. Because Deng Xian was the captain and was one level higher than him, he could only obey Deng Xian.

This made Ling Bao very dissatisfied, but he did not dare to express this dissatisfaction, so he ignored military affairs and would do whatever Deng Xian did.

Just at dusk the next day after Wu Yi led his army north, Ling Bao hurried to the city wall. Deng Xian was patrolling the city. He heard that Ling Bao had an urgent military situation to find him. He was a little surprised. Why did this person know how to make progress again?

Deng Xian ordered someone to invite Ling Bao, and asked coldly: "Is there anything wrong with General Leng?"

Ling Bao clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I just heard that a Jingzhou baggage team was crossing the border and heading north on the patrol. But this happened."

Deng Xian nodded, "There is indeed such a matter, and about a thousand people drove two thousand ox carts north, on another road, without passing through us."

"The ox carts are walking slowly and must not go far. Does General Deng want to intercept these ox carts?"

Deng Xian frowned and said, "General Wu ordered us to stay in the city. I don't want to be troublesome. I advise General Leng to calm down and not to think about it."

Ling Bao hit a nail and said angrily: "I don't want any business you deliver to my door, and I really think of myself as a person."

"What did you say?" Deng Xian said glaringly at him.

"nothing"

Ling Bao turned around and looked at him walking away. Deng Xian snorted heavily and said to himself: "Even if a Liu Xu dies, it's not your turn."

Soon, soldiers rushed over and reported urgently: "Report to General Deng, General Leng opened the East City Gate without authorization and led his headquarters out of the city."
