Chapter eight hundred and eighty first ambush
As if a tacit understanding was formed, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's army directly entered the hinterland of Yizhou, while Pang Shiyuan's troops and horses went directly towards Jingzhou. {Chinese.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's army marched into Jiangzhou. There were not many soldiers and horses in Yizhou, and there were only more than a thousand defenders in Jiangzhou City.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue set up camps during the day and marched at night, so they quickly tricked the defenders of Jiangzhou and walked towards the Yizhou mansion.
"Report, General Cai Hong and others are back!" A messenger came over to inform him.
"Oh, call in quickly!" Cai Mao said to his subordinates. Cai Hong was the commander sent by Cai Mao to stop Pang Shiyuan from chasing the troops.
"yes!"
"The last general Cai Hong has met the head of the family!" A middle-aged general walked in.
"No gift, have Pang Shiyuan's soldiers chased him along the way?!" Cai Mao wanted to know if Pang Shiyuan had already chased him.
They were going to meet with Jia Xu and Jia Wen, but they didn't want to be chased by Pang Shiyuan all the way behind.
"I haven't chased you!" Cai Hong shook his head to Cai Mao over there.
"That's good!" Cai Mao nodded, he was really afraid that Pang Shiyuan would catch up like a mad dog. A few days ago, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue took the initiative to send troops to hurt Pang Shiyuan over there and make him dare not pursue him.
Cai Hong told Cai Mao the bluffing delaying strategy that the camp that had not been removed and the stoves had stopped Pang Shiyuan for at least two days of effort. Even if Pang Shiyuan wanted to pursue him, it would be impossible!
Cai Mao couldn't help but feel happy on his face.
"But!" Cai Hong hesitated again.
"But what?!" Cai Mao asked in confusion. As long as Pang Shiyuan doesn't chase him up now, they can reach the Jianning generation quietly. The place where Cai Mao walked now is where Zhang Ren was rushing on his way before, and he could go directly to the Jianning generation.
"However, not only did Pang Shiyuan not pursue him, but on the contrary, he seemed to have withdrawn his troops!" Cai Hong also stayed there for two days before returning. The action of Pang Shiyuan's army being broadcasted on the other side could not be hidden from Cai Hong.
In the Yong'an generation, Pang Shiyuan left behind a army of 10,000 and Zhang Fei, in order to block the import and export of Yizhou.
Now Pang Shiyuan himself has indeed brought the remaining tens of thousands of troops back to Jingzhou.
"Is something happened in Jingzhou?" Cai Mao frowned and wondered. If something happened in Jingzhou, was it a mutiny? Or something else. Only in this way can Pang Shiyuan be transferred back.
"Liu Pan's remnants have been wiped out by Huang She, and Huang She was killed by Pang Shiyuan. The Huang family's troops have long been broken. As for Huang Zu! Does Huang Zu still have the intention to make a comeback now?" A sighing voice came in.
"A different degree!" Cai Mao saw this and walked in. It was Kuai Yue.
Cai Mao was about to tell Kuai Yue about Cai Hong's words, but Kuai Yue waved his hand, indicating that he already knew.
"Pang Shiyuan's return to Jingzhou is nothing more than anything else. The first is that the army of His Highness the King of Han in Yangzhou has already entered Jingzhou! Pang Shiyuan has to return to help." Kuai Yue explained to Cai Mao.
"His troops of His Highness the King of Han attacked Jingzhou? If so, why would Pang Shiyuan leave Zhang Fei?!" Zhang Fei was one of Liu Bei's few powerful generals. With such a powerful combat power, how could Liu Bei be willing to leave it in Yong'an County?
"Then there is only another possibility!" Kuai Yue continued to speak.
Before Kuai Yue finished speaking, Cai Mao jumped up over there, "Pang Shiyuan wants to attack my Nanyang County!" Cai Mao's mind was quick enough.
Pang Shiyuan transferred troops back to Jingzhou, if it was not for defense, it was for attack. Nanyang County, which was not under Liu Bei's control, was still Nanyang County.
"That's right!" Kuai Yue nodded, and he also underestimated Pang Shiyuan. "This Pang Shiyuan wants to block us in Yizhou. No matter what our intention is, he wants to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot. As long as you take down Nanyang County, your foundation will be over!" Kuai Yue also smiled bitterly.
This Pang Shiyuan is really vicious. He either doesn’t do anything, or does it, or does it as a strategy. Now he, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, have kept all the tens of thousands of elite soldiers by his side.
There were only 20,000 elite Xiangyang naval troops left in Nanyang County.
Before such soldiers, Liu Bei might not be able to drink Nanyang County. How could Liu Bei defeat more than 10,000 soldiers and horses by himself take down tens of thousands of soldiers?
But now, if you add that Fat is in the hands of the soul, the soldiers and horses that are yellow-shooted are different.
Nanyang County may really be captured by Liu Bei.
"Then what are we waiting for? It's not too late. Head of the family, let's go back to Nanyang immediately!" De Cai Hong, who was also anxious. He was searched to his hometown. If he didn't go back, he couldn't go back.
"It's too late!" Not to mention that they have passed Jiangzhou, even if they are still in Yongnan County, it will be difficult for them to walk through a place with Zhang Fei and his army of 10,000. Even if they defeated Zhang Fei, this period would be enough for Pang Shiyuan and Liu Bei to take over Nanyang County!"
"Can we just sit down and watch Liu Bei seize our foundation?" Cai Hong also became angry. His family is still in Nanyang County.
"We can't go, but it's impossible for Pang Shiyuan and Liu Bei to take over Nanyang County!" Kuai Yue had his own confidence.
"Then Nanyang County has only 20,000 elite soldiers!" Cai Hong became anxious. You must know that Nanyang County has twenty-eight county towns, with 20,000 troops, which seems to be a lot. If one is assigned one by one, there will be more than a thousand people in one county town. In the end, Zhang Yun, the commander of the Nanyang Guard, could only protect Nanyang County town, and other places were difficult to defend.
"Brother De Si, do you still remember the armor and swords I bought from Yangzhou!" Kuai Yue looked at Cai Mao over there.
"There are more than 20,000 left in those battle knives!" Kuai Yuexiao said secretly.
This batch of swords was originally purchased by Huang She from Yangzhou, and Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, as intermediaries, made a lot of money.
"Yi Di, Yi Di, what else do you have to hide from me?" Cai Mao shook his head. He was almost confused by Kuai Yue now.
"Haha, Brother De Si, except for contacting His Highness the King of Han before, you are not hidden from Brother De Si!" Kuai Yue said with a smile.
Yangzhou sent 20,000 swords and 20,000 armor, because more than 20,000 Yangzhou troops had already penetrated into this Nanyang County.
If they were the porters of the port, or the bodyguards of the caravans, and the people who helped transport weapons.
Once these individuals are used by Liu Mang in Yangzhou. They put on armor and hold weapons, I am a group of elite Yangzhou soldiers.
They belong to the same place, that is the Yangtze River Naval Army Camp in Yangzhou.
Cai Mao couldn't help but feel terrible. If he hadn't figured it out before, he was willing to join Liu Mang, the King of Han in Yangzhou.
I'm afraid it's hard to say that my Nanyang is not my own now.
This is Kuai Yue and Kuai Yidu, and Cai Mao is so angry that he hates him.
...
"Military advisor, thank you for your hard work!" Outside Xiangyang, outside the court fifty miles away, Pang Shiyuan's army had not arrived in Xiangyang City yet, and someone told Pang Shiyuan that the lord was waiting for the military advisor in Changting, fifty miles away.
When Pang Shiyuan walked to the long pavilion, he saw Liu Bei's wet body and his eyes turned red.
"It's not hard for the lord to treat Ten Yuan like this!" Pang Shiyuan said with red eyes.
"Haha, Wu Zhi Han Xin is also!" Liu Bei's acquisition of Jingzhou now is considered full of energy, so he spoke differently. Han Xin was another thick-skinned figure in the Liu family at the time. Liu Bang, the top military advisor of the Liu gangster.
If it weren't for Han Xin, then Liu Bang would not have won the world of the Han Dynasty.
Now Liu Bei actually compared Pang Shiyuan to Han Xin, so it is clear what he compared himself to at a glance.
"Lord, it's cold and cold. If you hurt your body, it will be bad!" Pang Shiyuan asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a light rain. As long as the military advisor returns, it's worth it!" Liu Bei has to say that he is an Oscar-level actor. There is obviously enough rain in the long pavilion, but Liu Bei still insists on getting wet in the rain.
Seeing that Liu Bei was about to get wet in the rain, the other subordinates naturally didn't dare to hide from the rain by themselves, so they were all drunkenly with Liu Bei.
However, Liu Bei, the so-called chicken, was to win people's hearts, but they were studying with the young master, whether it was wrong or not.
"This military advisor's army?!" Liu Bei asked Pang Shiyuan. Although Pang Shiyuan also told Liu Bei a little in the letter, it still needed to discuss it in person.
"Shi Yuan was ashamed. He was unable to defeat Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's troops, nor could he persuade them to surrender!" Pang Shiyuan apologized to Liu Bei.
"If there is nowhere, I am already very happy that Shi Yuan can achieve this. As for them, even if they are sent to me, I may not be interested in them. Why bother to add trouble!" Liu Bei comforted Depang Shi Yuan next to him.
Pang Shiyuan nodded and stood up, "This Cai Mao and Kuai Yue led their army into the hinterland of Jingzhou. I don't know what they did! But it also gave us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If this plan is successful, then in Jingzhou, you will be really a word!" Pang Shiyuan said to six cups of water beside him.
Liu Bei naturally knew what Pang Shiyuan was saying! That was to take down Nanyang County.
"How sure is the military advisor?" Liu Bei looked at Pang Shiyuan with flickering eyes.
This Nanyang County has long been under Liu Bei's purpose. Liu Bei is really a person in the entire Jingzhou. After visiting each family, his false benevolence and righteousness towards the people actually made him bribe the hearts of the people of Jingzhou, and also let him Liu Bei slowly take over the entire Jingzhou.
As for those people who are against him or have objections, they have disappeared from this world.
The excuse is "the remnants of yellow shooting", and sent a team of "the remnants of yellow shooting" to wait for these "the remnants of yellow shooting" to kill those who stood in front of Liu Bei. Liu Bei came out to preside over justice, find a few scapegoats, and kill them for the people there.
In this way, fewer people oppose Liu Bei, and more of them are fence-bearing figures.
In the end, there was only one Nanyang County left. If Nanyang County could be taken down, then Liu Bei would be the only one in Jingzhou.
Liu Bei is so unhappy.
"80%!" Pang Shiyuan said to Liu Bei.
The 80% chance of winning was that Pang Shiyuan had made after calculating everything between Cai Mao and Kuai Yue. As for the 20% of this midsummer, it was a few variables. It must be said that Cai Mao and Kuai Yue broke through the Yong'an County generation under Zhang Fei's command. In that case, Pang Shiyuan had no way to do it.
"Okay! In this way, I will obey everything!" Liu Bei said to Pang Shiyuan. Liu Bei believed Pang Shiyuan 100% of his belief in Pang Shiyuan.
Because without Pang Shiyuan, he might not be as good as Liu Bei now.
What's more, Pang Shiyuan's military power is much greater than that of Liu Bei's. Such a person is willing to be behind you. Liu Bei will listen to Pang Shiyuan no matter what he said.
"Thank you, lord!" Pang Shiyuan nodded, and he took out a map, which marked Nanyang County, and there is all the knowledge about Nanyang County's hydrology. For example, how high this place is, what paths are in this place, and where are the waterways.
It can be said that everything is ready but the east wind is missing.
Pang Shiyuan had an army of 20,000 in his hands. After all, he had expanded his enrollment. In the end, more than 30,000 people were now. Liu Bei's hands also changed from more than 10,000 to 40,000 people, and the total number of troops was 70,000.
Now the 70,000 army is surrounding the entire Nanyang County.
Twenty-six counties in Nanyang fell into twenty cities in one day.
Only six cities were left pricked.
"The whole army is on guard! All the gates of Nanyang County City will only go out but not in! Take turns guarding the city tower! Be careful in this life!" In Nanyang County City, the only supervisor left is Zhang Yun.
The most brother-in-law of Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, still has the ability. If you are fighting water wars, this man who has been dealing with the Yangtze River and water for many years is the best candidate.
As for the current command of Nanyang County, it is more than enough." Yes! "As soon as Pang Shiyuan's army came back, there was a message in the Nanyang army, that is, the new Muzhou Mu of Jingzhou is going to take back Nanyang County.
So everyone in Nanyang County was nervous and did not dare to slack off at all, because Nanyang County City was their last line of defense.
In Nanyang County, Zhang Yun had a headache. If you ask him to go to a water battle, he may know the slightest point, but if you ask him to take his subordinates to prepare for the war, it will make Zhang Yun embarrassed.
Zhang Yun lost Nanyang County at the beginning, which was because Zhang Yun’s overall planning was out of bounds.
"Ten thousand army!" Zhang Yun frowned. All these five thousand soldiers could not be taken out. There must be a reserve team. If five thousand people are deducted, then there will be ten thousand left, and two thousand five hundred people will be left at a city gate. (To be continued.)
ps: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!
