Gou writes entries in the Three Kingdoms

The city wall is more than ten meters long, and the distance below including the slope is only two to thirty meters.

Bei Gongling's teleportation skill has a maximum teleportation range of 100 meters.

What she was waiting for was the moment when Guan Yu showed up.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the army's siege, Beigong Ling performed teleportation.
The next moment, Bei Gongling had appeared behind Guan Yu at the top of the city.

As soon as the man arrived, the gold-encrusted sword in his hand had already been taken out, and he quickly cut Guan Yu's neck.

However, Guan Yu in front of him suddenly seemed to have eyes on the back of his head.
His neck tilted at a strange angle, and the gold-encrusted sword rubbed Guan Yu's helmet and slashed at him.
This sword actually cut through the air.

Bei Gongling's body swayed slightly because there was nowhere to bear the force.

Guan Yu had already used this opportunity to turn around and face Bei Gong Ling behind him.

Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, his Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, and an unparalleled momentum burst out from his body.

With a flip of the sword, he slashed towards Bei Gong Ling without any hesitation.

The guards around Guan Yu seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they all retreated ten feet away, surrounding Guan Yu and Bei Gong Ling.

Guan Yu's sword was powerful and heavy, but his movements did not feel cumbersome at all. Bei Gong Ling's gold-encrusted sword was a short-hand weapon after all, and it would take more effort to parry Guan Yu's broadsword.

As a last resort, Bei Gong Ling had to rely on her agility to dodge several of Guan Yu's knives.

In the blink of an eye, Bei Gongling understood that she had been deceived.

Guan Yu was clearly attracting him to come up for a sneak attack.

Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Bei Gongling just wanted to delay the teleportation until the cooldown time expired, and then exit safely.

ten seconds.

Normally, it only takes a breath, but at this moment, under Guan Yu's continuous sword force,

Bei Gongling felt that these ten seconds seemed as long as a day.

In just five seconds, Guan Yu had already made six or seven cuts.

Moreover, Guan Yu's sword skills are quite skillful in using force. After one sword has been cut, another sword has already started to move.

Bei Gongling had never encountered such a powerful opponent before, and could only deal with it hastily.

But Guan Yu seemed to know that Bei Gongling was stalling for time, and used all his strength on the first few blows.

The power of the sword is as heavy as a mountain, and the shadow of the sword is as continuous as waves.

And Bei Gongling was like a small boat floating in the waves at the moment, and could be overturned by the falling mountain at any time.

"There are still three seconds." Bei Gongling saw sweat on her forehead and counted silently in her heart while trying her best to avoid Guan Yu's knife.

It's a pity that Guan Yu's sword was already powerful and he didn't give Bei Gong Ling a chance at all.
At the eighth second, Guan Yu's lightning-fast sword made Bei Gongling unable to dodge. He could only raise the gold-encrusted sword to catch the sword.

"Ding!"

The two swords struck each other, but Bei Gongling's petite body could not withstand Guan Yu's full force sword.

The gold-inlaid sword in his hand was knocked away by Guan Yu's sword.

"It's over!" Bei Gongling said secretly and closed her eyes helplessly.

There was no way to dodge this sword.

The wind brought by the blade hurt Bei Gongling's cheek.

There was only a bang, and a few debris splashed on Bei Gongling's face.

Bei Gong Ling's eyelashes fluttered and she opened her eyes with some confusion.

Unexpectedly, he was not cut in half by Guan Yu. He turned his head and glanced at the female wall next to him.

Guan Yu's knife missed the top of her head and hit the female wall next to her.

"Why don't you kill me?"

Bei Gong Ling asked doubtfully. She knew that it was not a miracle that she did not die, but that Guan Yu deliberately missed the target at the last moment.

Guan Yu did not answer Bei Gong Ling, but looked at her lightly and said,

"Chief Beigong, I know that you have a close relationship with Liu Xuan and you are very important to him, so I will not kill you today."

"Why, is General Guan afraid of angering King Huaiyang?" Bei Gongling asked puzzledly.

"Hmph, Guan has been on the battlefield for more than ten years and has never known what to be afraid of."

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard on his chest.

"Six years ago, Guan and Liu Xuan competed at Baimen Tower in Xiapi. Guan's skills were inferior and he lost to Liu Xuan. He should have been killed by Liu Xuan at Baimen Tower, but in the end he did not kill me."

"The last thing Guan wants to do in his life is to owe anyone a favor. Today I will let you off the hook. Please tell Liu Xuan that I have already repaid the life I owed him."

Bei Gongling looked at Guan Yu with some surprise, and finally understood why Liu Xuan always mentioned Guan Yu with a hint of envy, wishing he could keep it as his own.

Even Bei Gong Ling admired this kind of character.

"If the general lets me go, aren't you afraid that after I capture Yangping Pass, you won't miss the general's intention not to kill?"

"I said, I won't kill you, I just want to save Liu Xuan's life. You don't have to accept my love."

Guan Yu put away his sword, looked at Bei Gong Ling and said,

"I know that your movement is magical and you can move instantly, but you can't use it at will. Since Guan can restrain you once, he will naturally be able to kill you a second time."

"If the leader of Beigong wants to capture Yangping Pass, he should attack the city openly. However, with the relevant person here, Yangping Pass will never be breached."

Guan Yu's tone was firm and domineering, making Bei Gong Ling afraid to look directly at him.

After a long time, Bei Gong Ling smiled brightly and said, "In any case, Bei Gong Ling still thanks General Guo Guan for not killing him. I will definitely bring your words to His Majesty when I see him someday. Farewell."

After saying that, Bei Gongling activated the teleportation skill in front of Guan Yu.

The figure flashed and disappeared directly in front of Guan Yu. The next moment, Bei Gongling's figure had appeared under Yangping Pass.

Guan Yu had already figured out her teleportation skills, so Bei Gong Ling no longer needed to hide it in front of him.

The commander of the hoplites stepped forward to show concern,
"Chief Beigong, are you okay? Let the last general lead the soldiers to attack hard."

Bei Gongling shook her head,
"Take it down."

"Why?"

"Guan Yu is personally stationed at Yangping Pass. We have no chance of capturing it. Don't let our brothers lose their lives in vain."

"Withdraw, set up camp at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, and guard the main road from Hanzhong to Guanzhong. Although we cannot capture Yangping Pass, we can hold back Guan Yu's main force and prevent them from sending troops from Hanzhong, which can be considered as sharing the pressure for His Majesty."

In the battle with Liu Bei, unexpectedly, no progress was made on both sides.

Although the losses of the siege team on the north road and the navy on the waterway were not great, they could not pose a threat to Liu Bei for a while.

After all, the pressure was placed on the middle road where Liu Xuan personally led the troops.

Jingzhou, Nanyang County.Nanyang is located in the northernmost part of Jingzhou, bordering Yuzhou.

Starting from Xuchang, it is only about [-] miles before entering the boundary of Nanyang.

This was originally Zhang Xiu's territory. After Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao gave Nanyang to Liu Bei in order to unite Liu Bei against Liu Xuan, and at the same time exchanged Xuzhou Ye Shouchun from Liu Bei.

For Cao Cao, it was a sure profit, but for Liu Bei, it was a choice between a fish and a bear.

Liu Bei won Nanyang and Huyang, plus the new fields given by Liu Biao, and finally established a foothold in northern Jingzhou.

Therefore, Nanyang can be regarded as the place where Liu Bei made his fortune, and it is also the territory that Liu Bei has been operating for five or six years. It stands to reason that Liu Bei's military strength in Nanyang is not weak.

However, Liu Xuan's army passed by without any resistance. The army marched straight into Nanyang County, only to find that the county government was empty, and Liu Bei had already left the city.

"Your Majesty, the general has completed his inspection of Nanyang County. There are no troops stationed in the city. Only the county magistrate is in charge here. The general has brought him here."

Liu Xuan heard this and said, "Bring the county magistrate here for questioning."

Nanyang Juncheng is a native of Nanyang. When he met Liu Xuan, he did not put up much resistance and obeyed Liu Xuan.
"I'm going to see the King of Huaiyang, oh, no, I'm going to see His Majesty."

"Where are the garrison troops in Nanyang City?" Liu Xuan asked straight to the point.

"Reporting to your majesty, the garrison in Nanyang was evacuated to Xiangyang by the garrison half a month ago. The prefect and most of the officials also evacuated."

All the explanations given by the county magistrate.

It turned out that as early as half a month ago, the Nanyang Prefect suddenly received an imperial edict from Jihan Emperor Liu Bei, ordering the Prefect and the city's garrison to lead all the garrison and all property and materials in the city to evacuate to the south of the Han River.

As for the people of Nanyang, they were not informed until the day the army evacuated, and most of them were left in Nanyang.

Moreover, after the Nanyang army retreated to the south bank of the Han River by boat, they destroyed all the ferries along the coast.

Liu Xuan and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and said four words in unison:

"Strong walls clear the wilderness."

What Liu Bei did in Nanyang clearly meant that he did not intend to go to war with Liu Xuan in Nanyang.

Zhuge Liang said: "It seems that Liu Bei also has capable men. According to my simulation in the military book, if our army and Liu Bei go to war in Nanyang, our army's victory rate will be [-]%."

"Obviously Liu Bei also calculated that there was no chance of winning in a war with my army in Nanyang, so he hid south of the Han River to avoid the battle."

Liu Xuan said calmly, although Liu Xuan was surprised by Liu Bei's move, he felt it was reasonable.

"But the Han River is not a natural chasm. I have countless warships in Yangzhou. Isn't it easy to cross the Han River?"

Zhuge Liang didn't answer, he frowned and thought for a moment, and then said to Liu Xuande,

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Liu Bei also has plans for the Han River."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Liu Xuan suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"The warships from Yangzhou have already set off, why haven't they arrived at the Han River yet?"

Zhuge Liang said: "According to the plan, our warships should have already controlled the Jianghan waterway by this time, but there has been no news yet. I'm afraid things have changed."

"Report! Your Majesty, a report has been sent from Chaisang Water Village."

Just as he was talking, the voice of the messenger came from outside.

"Sun Quan, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, received an urgent military message. The Yangzhou Navy attacked Hankou, but was intercepted by the Jingzhou Navy. The Jingzhou Navy used a plan to sink ships and cut off the river, using fishing nets, straw and vines to destroy the paddle wheels of our warships."

"In order to prevent the warship from being destroyed, Governor Sun had no choice but to retreat to Chaisang Water Village. He has now deployed the warship at the main channel of the Chaisang River to defend against the attack of Jingzhou's warship and awaits your Majesty's next instructions."

"Kong Ming, you are indeed right."

Liu Xuan smiled bitterly, "It seems that Liu Bei is also fully prepared. I wonder how the north road attacking Yangping Pass is progressing?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a breakthrough. According to reports from scouts, the guard of Yangping Pass has been replaced by Guan Yu. This shows that Liu Bei attaches great importance to Yangping Pass."

"If Guan Yu personally garrisoned Yangping Pass, he would indeed have little chance of winning."

Liu Xuan had some worry on his face and immediately stood up and said,

"Come on, Kong Ming, Fengxian, come with me to the edge of the Han River to have a look."

Liu Xuan took Zhuge Liang, Lu Bu and his party to the edge of the Han River.

I saw that the riverside was deserted and there were not many people in sight.
"Why are all the fishermen by the river missing?"

"We'll find out when I go catch a few people and ask them," Lu Bu returned and ordered a few of his men to catch a few fishermen in the distance.

Several fishermen were brought tremblingly,
Liu Xuan asked kindly,

"You don't need to be afraid. I just ask you a few questions and answer them truthfully."

"Excuse me, General. We are just fishermen on the river, and we would never dare to hide it from the General."

"Since you are fishermen, why don't you go into the water to fish? What are you doing wandering on this shore?"

An old fisherman sighed and said,

"The general doesn't know something. It's not that we don't want to go into the water to fish. It's just that the fishing nets and fishing boats have been confiscated, and we won't be able to go into the water for a while."

"Confiscated by whom?"

"Who else can there be, the Yousi people who can kill a thousand swords," the old fisherman said bitterly, "There are at least three or four thousand fishermen along the Han River. Every fishing net has been confiscated by the Yousi army, and the fishing boats have also been seized. They were confiscated and even the bamboo rafts were not spared.”

"It was the Nanyang Prefect who went to Xiangyang in person to file a complaint, and His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered the gossamers to collect the gossamers for a fee, and these gossamers made up some symbolic money."

Liu Xuan said in surprise: "You mean all the ships along the Han River have been confiscated?"

The old fisherman nodded and said, "I think so. When I went to see the Nanyang Governor, the Governor himself told me."

Zhuge Liang heard this and said: "It seems that this old man is not lying. Didn't the messenger from Chai Sang say before that the Jingzhou Navy destroyed our warships with fishing nets, vines and other debris? These fishing nets were collected here." .”

"There is no fishing boat found on the north bank of the river, and Nanyang's troops and supplies have been moved to the south of the Han River. Liu Bei is going to use a strategy to strengthen the wall and clear the country to bring us down."

"If our army is unable to cross the Han River and the 30-strong army cannot get supplies in Nanyang, it will have to rely on Yangzhou and Yuzhou to transport food. The rations for the 30-strong army are not a small amount. If this continues, it may take a long time. , the supply pressure on the rear is too great, which is detrimental to our army."

Liu Xuan stood by the river with his hands behind his back, looking at the south bank of the Han River with keen eagle eyes. Liu Bei's army on the opposite side had already set up camp on the south bank and was actively arranging defenses.

"Hmph, just a piece of Han River wants to trap me? People like Yousi are only capable of these heresy."

Liu Xuan turned to Zhuge Liang and said,
"Kong Ming, order the army to continue to gather and station north of the Han River as originally planned to prepare for crossing the river."

"First of all, please send someone back to Guangling quickly and tell Ma Jun that the things I gave him last time must be made and shipped to Nanyang within this month."

When the two of them saw Liu Xuan's impressive deployment, their confidence greatly increased.

Liu Xuan always has a clever way to deal with any difficulty, and they are convinced of this.

Liu Xuan also had no doubts about Ma Jun's ability.

With a flash of consciousness, he looked at the heavenly creation with the roulette wheel in his mind. The originally dark roulette wheel happened to light up little by little.

Every time a new thing is spun out, the roulette wheel of Tiangong Kaiwu will dim and start cooling down. The roulette wheel will not light up again until the thing spun out is successfully produced.

Liu Xuan raised his lips. It seemed that Ma Jun had succeeded again. (End of chapter)
