Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1231 The Hidden Yue Fei
Chapter 1229: The hidden Yue Fei
Yue Fei's attack on Nanjun was very fierce this time, and the Jingzhou army hadn't had time to deploy its defenses, so the Qin army broke through four cities in five days.

If this trend continues, within a few days, Yue Fei will be able to fight back to the city of Jiangling, and Liu Xiu must arrive in Jiangling ahead of Yue Fei, otherwise it will not be easy if he wants to enter the city.

Under Liu Xiulian night's haste, he finally returned to Jiangling City before Yue Fei besieged the city, and Yue Fei's army surrounded Jiangling again the next day.

"Cen Peng, have all the defenders in the cities been called back to Jiangling?" Liu Xiu asked.

"My lord, after getting the news of Yue Fei's re-invasion, except for the front-line cities that could block Yue Fei's advance, the defenders of the other cities were immediately recalled by the last general." Cen Peng said in a deep voice.

"Then how many defenders are there in Jiangling City?"

"Except for the army that resisted the Qin army from the front line not coming back, plus the ones who came back, there are now a total of [-] defenders in the city."

Liu Xiu's expression darkened when he heard the words, and he said in a random voice, "So, in just a few days, our army lost another five thousand troops."

Cen Peng opened his mouth but was speechless, and finally turned into a helpless sigh.

Since Liu Xiu led an army of [-] to Jingnan, the army has been fighting more and more, and the highest number of casualties has not reached [-].

But when facing Yue Fei, first two-thirds of the remaining army was reduced, and now five thousand troops were wiped out in a few days.

Rao Liu Xiu is open-minded, but he still feels distressed when facing such a loss, but at this point, even if he is distressed, it will not help.

"Jiangling is a big city with high walls and thick walls. The food, grass and supplies in the city are extremely abundant. As long as our army does not take the initiative to go out of the city to fight, it will not be a problem to defend it for a year."

Speaking of this, Liu Xiu added: "The Marquis has already recruited another [-] troops from Jingnan, and then Jiangling will have [-] defenders, plus there will be soldiers from aristocratic families to assist in defending the city, and Yue Fei The siege force in the city is only [-], so Jiangling is absolutely unbreakable."

Under Yue Fei's attack, the Jingzhou army suffered heavy casualties. Now Jingzhou, whether it is a civil servant or a general, can't help but change his face when he talks about Yue Fei, and he is in awe of Yue Fei from the bottom of his heart.

As for Liu Xiu's words, all the ministers were very reassured. Although the fear in their hearts still existed, it was not to the point where Tan Yue's expression changed.

"From now on, our army only needs to stick to Jiangling. Yue Fei will only retreat when the Qin army runs out of supplies." Liu Xiu said calmly.

At this moment, the spies suddenly came to report: "My lord, Qin Junqi will come to challenge."

Liu Xiu didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Order all the troops, don't pay attention to it, don't fight, our army only needs to guard Jiangling."

"But the person who came to challenge is, is..."

Seeing the spies faltering.Liu Xiu couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Yue Fei."

"what?"

As soon as the spies said this, all the civil and military personnel of the Jingzhou Army were shocked. Liu Xiu even opened his eyes and said, "You said that the Qin general who came to challenge was Yue Fei? Yue Fei came to fight the general himself? How is this possible?"

Hearing that Yue Fei stood up to challenge in person, Liu Xiu's first reaction was disbelief, and it wasn't Liu Xiu alone who thought so, Jingzhou's civil and military basically had this view.

Who is Yue Fei?He is the prefect of Xiangyang of the Qin army. Although he is not the governor of Jingbei now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the governor of Jingbei of the Qin army is none other than Yue Fei.

Could it be possible for such a commander who commanded an army of tens of thousands to leave the army alone and go to fight for the general himself instead?
Everyone would think it was impossible, because for the general, it is enough to command the army well, but to participate in the general battle personally would be a waste of money, so the first reaction of Liu Xiu and others was disbelief.

"Subordinates dare not lie about the military situation. If the lord does not believe it, you can go to the tower to have a look."

After hearing this, Liu Xiu immediately took all the ministers to the city tower to have a look, only to find that the challenger under the city was undoubtedly Yue Fei.

"My lord, Yue Fei actually came to challenge in person. Do you think there will be fraud in this?" Cen Peng frowned.

"Yes, yes..." All the generals responded one after another.

This scene was too weird, and it was too different from Yue Fei's usual style, which made all the generals in Jingzhou have to imagine.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu couldn't help frowning even more, but Yue Fei in the city shouted at this moment: "Liu Xiu, I heard that you are good at martial arts, do you dare to compete with me?"

"Yue Fei, you don't want to use this to trick our army into battle, I won't be fooled by you." Liu Xiu shouted coldly.

Yue Fei laughed when he heard it, pointed his spear at the army behind him, and shouted: "Are you afraid that my challenge will be fake, but the capture of the city is real? That's all, keep your eyes open."

Speaking of this, Yue Fei turned around and shouted: "The whole army retreats 500 meters."

As soon as Yue Fei's military order was issued, tens of thousands of Qin troops retreated one after another, leaving Yue Fei alone in front of the city on horseback, shouting: "How dare you fight now?"

Seeing this, Liu Xiu couldn't help opening his mouth. He was really afraid that Yue Fei would use this to seize the city, but Yue Fei took the initiative to order the army to retreat. It is obviously impossible to seize the city at such a distance.

"Could it be that Yue Fei just came here to challenge?" Liu Xiu thought to himself.

"My lord, the last general invites you to fight, go and behead Yue Fei." Wei Wentong clasped his fists and said.

"This……"

Liu Xiu was a little hesitant. He always felt that Yue Fei had malicious intentions, but it was too unreasonable for him to personally challenge Yue Fei as a general.

Seeing that Liu Xiu didn't respond for a long time, Yue Fei took the initiative to scold and fight.

"Liu Xiu, I, Yue Pengju, are here to challenge you as the main general. If none of you in the Jingzhou army dare to fight, then you might as well lead the army and go back to Jingnan. "

As soon as this remark came out, the Jingzhou army was excited, and even Wei Yan stood up to ask for a fight.

Wei Yan was originally a general under Han Xuan's command, but his elder brother Wei Wentong was under Liu Xiu's command. In addition, Liu Xiu had won many battles in Jingnan, so Wei Yan was also feared by Han Xuan.

Liu Xiu had been coveting Wei Yan for a long time. After learning that Han Xuan was afraid of Wei Yan, he not only gained Wei Yan's loyalty through divorce, but also defeated the coalition forces of the Jingnan princes, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After thinking about it, Liu Xiu didn't think that Yue Fei could win the city through fighting with generals, and seeing that the general Qin was eager to fight, he nodded immediately and said: "In that case, Wei Yan, I will let you fight Yue Fei."

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust. Wei Yanding cut off Yue Fei's head and dedicated it to my lord."

Liu Xiu shook her head when she heard this, and said: "Yue Fei's intentions for this challenge are treacherous, so you should also remember, General, that this time you leave the city, you don't want to be meritorious, but just hope that you don't make mistakes."

"This... No."
