Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 770 What is the purpose
"My lord, Yicheng is twenty miles ahead!" The army marched in a hurry, and the scouts in front scouted their horses everywhere. After a while, a scout Marquis rode back and reported to Mujing.

"Are you in Yicheng?"

Mu Jing reined in his horse, his eyes flickered, and he said, "How is the situation in Yicheng?"

"Report to my lord, the gates on all sides of Yicheng have been closed, and the city is covered with figures of soldiers, but we can't find out the specific strength of the city for the time being, but according to the information we got before, there is only Jiangxia in Yicheng. Army, then their strength is no more than [-], it is not ruled out that they will increase their troops, we will try to find out more clearly!"

The Scout Marquis replied.

"No need!"

Mu Jing waved his hand: "All scouts, don't take the risk of inquiring about the strength of the troops in the city, just keep an eye on the square gates!"

"promise!"

The scout army led the order and left.

"Han Sheng, Uncle Zhi!"

"exist!"

"Send the order, let's go around from the suburbs and ignore Yicheng!"

Mujing raised his head, looked ahead, and said calmly.

Yicheng is not an important city, and there are nearly tens of thousands of Jiangxia troops guarding it. If it is really fought down, it must be a hard battle, and it will even cause heavy casualties to the Mu army. Of course he will not do such a stupid thing.

"promise!"

The two took the lead.

"My lord, why don't I lead the troops to try Huang Zu!" Chen Dao thought for a while, and suddenly begged for his life, "Now Huang Zu has been frightened in the battle of Xiangyang, maybe as long as we come to the city, he will Run without fighting!"

"First, you have underestimated Huang Zu. Huang Zu is not as useless as we imagined. The battle of Xiangyang seemed to be defeated again and again, but it cannot be denied that we have never been able to face him head-on in water battles. contend!"

"Second, it's not necessary at all!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "As long as our army takes a detour, Yicheng will be engulfed by us. The former Xiangyang soldiers will be troubled by us later, and Huang Zu dare not stay in Yicheng anymore. position, if he dares to be nailed here, I will count him as having the guts!"

"My lord is right!"

Chen Dao quickly understood what Mu Jing meant.

The location of Yicheng is in the south of Xiangyang and in the north of Jingzhou City. If it is in normal times, it will play a role in suppressing Xiangyang's troops. , Yicheng became a turtle in an urn.

If someone has some guts, he may still dare to continue the town here.

When the Mu army was defeated in Jingzhou City, it would act as a force to strangle the throat and drive the Mu army to death.

But Huang Zu lost to Mu Jing many times, so he might not dare to do this.

……

The 1-strong army of the Mu army marched rapidly, but did not enter the city of Yicheng, and went straight to the south from the official road in the western suburbs of Yicheng, rushing across the border.

"What do they mean?"

Standing on the top of the west city, Huang Zu could see the long line of dragons faintly appearing on the official road in the western suburbs, his face turned ashen: "Mulongtu is too crazy and unscrupulous, does he really dare to attack like a certain Jiang Xiaerlang? "

They didn't attack Yicheng, Huang Zu was relieved before, but when they passed in front of him majestically, they didn't pay any attention to Yicheng, which made Huang Zu go crazy.

How arrogant.

Isn't he afraid of his sudden attack, attacking them unprepared, and directly tearing their formation?

"My lord, I'm afraid they really have such confidence!"

Su Fei smiled wryly: "And we really can't attack!"

"Bastard!"

Huang Zu was a little furious, but there was nothing he could do. What Su Fei said was to save face for him. The fact is that Jiang Xia's army was either unable to attack, or dared not to attack. He was a little scared to be killed by Mu Jun.

Now he is still licking his wounds, the soldiers under his command have not recovered from their injuries, and their morale is low, they can't fight at all.

"My lord, and this Yicheng, we can't continue to be stationed!" Su Fei cupped his hands and said softly.

"why?"

Huang Zu's face was gloomy.

Jiang Xia is gone, if there is no Yicheng, he will not even have a foothold.

"We are in Yicheng, and Xiangyang is already under pressure. The Mu army went south and said it was to reinforce the Jingzhou campaign, but what is his purpose, we have never been able to figure it out. Minghou has always used tricks, and no one can figure out his schemes. He seems to have done nothing wrong with us, but who knows if he will kill a carbine!"

Su Fei said analytically: "What if his target is our Yicheng, and he kills a carbine from behind, and Xiangyang kills another force, flanking back and forth, can our Yicheng stop it?"

"But I'm not reconciled!" Huang Zu gritted his teeth.

"My lord, bear with me for a while and save a hundred years. Jiang Xia Erlang is not much left. Once we have wiped out all our soldiers, we don't even have a single soldier in our hands. I'm afraid..." Su Fei said softly: "This Jingzhou has no place for us!"

In troubled times, the only way to gain a foothold is by relying on the military power in hand.

When Liu Biao said to take Jiang Xia, he took Jiang Xia. Isn't it because Jiang Xia's army suffered heavy casualties and their vitality was severely damaged, so it was not enough to fight against him?

Once Jiang Xia's army was exhausted.

Then Huang Zu was useless to Liu Biao, he just hid it and took over Jiangxia's forces in a smooth manner. He, Liu Biao, was able to regroup, but Huang Zu could only admit defeat aggrieved.

"you're right!"

Huang Zu suddenly woke up: "I really can't stay here in Yicheng!"

He thought for a while: "Send my military order to prepare to retreat to Lulin Mountain. In addition...to pass this news back, we can't let Liu Jingsheng catch us, and he has nothing to say if we say that we have retreated to Lulin Mountain!"

"promise!"

Su Fei nodded.

..................................................................

Jiangxia, Xiling City.

This is the city of Jiangxia County. Its population and prosperity are not inferior to Jingzhou City, but second only to Xiangyang City.

Liu Biao came all the way down the southeast from Green Forest Mountain, and traveled day and night, moving quickly. Three days ago, he finally arrived. After entering Xiling, he felt a sense of security in his hanging heart.

After all, he was beaten to the point that his nest was gone, and his heart was always in a state of turmoil.

Losing Xiangyang, it was as if the whole person was being carried, and the ground was empty, and my heart was always not at ease.

Now that he arrived at Xiling City, he felt that he was stepping back on the ground again.

In the following days, he didn't take any action. After all, Jiangxia is Huang's territory. He has just arrived, if the method is too drastic, it will cause resentment. After all, Huang Zu still has casualties, he has to handle the relationship well.

But before he had time to deal with Jiang Xia's affairs, a message came from Xiangyang.

"Mu Jing went south in person?"

Liu Biao was frightened by the news. He froze for a moment, and then asked Kuai Liang next to him, "Zi Rou, do you think the news is true?"

"It should be true!"

Kuai Liang said: "We have a lot of eyeliners in Xiangyang, and this time, Mulongtu didn't seem to cover up any whereabouts, so the accuracy of the news is beyond doubt!"

"Then why?"

Liu Biao bluffed, and then called out: "He is full!"

I don't understand.

Liu Biao couldn't figure out why Mu Jing went south. In terms of his own interests, he did so, obviously taking the lives of his soldiers to contribute to Yizhou.

"I don't want to understand!"

Kuai Liang racked his brains, thought hard, and finally there was only a bitter smile left: "This Marquis of Ming acts too strangely, and it is difficult to guess his mind. I would not be surprised if he went north to Nanyang at this time, but he Let's go south to join the battle of Jingzhou City!"

"Then is our Jingzhou City in danger?"

Liu Mian's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly said: "By the way, isn't there Yicheng, let Huang Zu block him in Yicheng!"

"This news was first sent by Huang Taishou. The Mu army has already passed Yicheng, and Huang Zu's news also said that the army was defeated by him. He was unbearable and fought. He has withdrawn from Yicheng and retreated to Lulin Mountain!"

Kuai Liang said: "The news that our spies found out is that the Mu army has indeed passed through Yicheng, but there was no battle in Yicheng. The Mu army detoured and passed, while Jiang Xia's army retreated without a fight!"

"What?" Liu Biao gritted his teeth, "You bastard!"

"It's normal for Governor Huang to have scruples!"

Kuai Liang said a fair word: "After all, we can't understand Mulongtu's mind and his purpose. If he just wants to annihilate Jiang Xia's army and pretend to attack Guo, then Jiang Xia's army will react. If you are not in time, you will be besieged, and you will not be able to escape!"

"But Huang Zu retreated without a fight, and it's too embarrassing for our Jingzhou army!" Liu Biao was still brooding.

"The most important thing now is to find out the purpose of the Mulongtu!" Kuai Liang said.

"What if he is really reinforcing the Yizhou Army?"

Liu Biao asked.

"Even so, there is nothing we can do!" Kuai Liang smiled wryly: "I only hope that Governor Cai and General Zhang Yun can deal with it, but the lord can give them a secret order to retreat to Chibi when necessary!"

"Retreat to Chibi?"

Liu Biao is not willing, one defeat after another, what face does he have to see Jingzhou fathers and folks again, who can recognize him as Jingzhou shepherd.

"My lord, Jingzhou has suffered heavy casualties, and we can no longer stand the casualties. The matter has come to this point, and we can no longer care about the failure of one city and one place!" Kuai Liang suggested: "Our only advantage is Jingzhou. It is our Jingzhou, one city and one place. We have lost. They have no support from the people. They must not support the people. As long as the front line is stretched, they will expose the problem. , we must preserve our strength!"

"Must it be so?"

Liu Biao gritted his teeth.

"That's the only way!" Kuai Liang said firmly, from the defeat in Xiangyang, he could think of the only way to drag them all into Jingzhou to fight, so that they can flourish in all directions and have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
