Xiliang Iron Cavalry

When Liu Pan heard what Yi Ji said, he dared not neglect him in the slightest. In the city, Yi Ji was a well-deserved chief counselor. He had advised Liu Pan for many years and won Liu Pan's trust. He was also quite trusted in Nanyang.

"Sir, Cao Jun has just arrived and his foothold is not stable. It is obvious that he is bullying the defenders in the city and dare not go out to fight. So this general will let him see the demeanor of Jingzhou Erlang. Even if he can't win, Cao Jun can't think of taking advantage." Liu A gleam flashed in Pan's eyes, and he said firmly.

"Since the general has made a decision, I will stop persuading him. I will order the soldiers to secretly respond to the general. If there is something wrong, retreat immediately." Yi Ji said.

After Liu Pan agreed, he hurried down the city wall.

Cao Cao didn't give an order, so the soldiers were naturally not on guard. It wasn't until the city gate was opened and a cavalry rushed out of the city that the soldiers reacted and rushed to report the news.

Liu Pan led a thousand cavalry, and entered Cao Jun's camp without encountering any obstacles. Cavalry was originally the nemesis of infantry. Even if Jingzhou's cavalry was not very strong, it was definitely not something Cao Jun's infantry could resist.

A thousand cavalry were in full swing, and the Cao army who killed them panicked and retreated steadily. It was not until Cao Cao got the news that he ordered the tiger and leopard cavalry to fight, and finally stabilized the situation.

Seeing that he could do nothing more, Liu Pan withdrew to Wancheng, leaving Cao Cao with a gloomy face.

Suddenly, Cao Cao let out a loud laugh, and all the soldiers around him looked sideways. Unexpectedly, they lost so many soldiers and supplies, and the camp they built with great difficulty was destroyed. The general can still laugh.

"My lord, why are you laughing?" Xi Zhicai asked puzzled, he had lost so much when he first arrived, and Xi Zhicai was not in a good mood.

"Haha, I thought that the Jingzhou army was all defenders of the city, but I didn't expect that there were people who dared to go out of the city to fight. This kind of battle is interesting." Cao Cao explained.

Everyone is ashamed, they have never seen such a top-quality person before, the stronger the enemy is, the more excited they are, what is the reason for this.

"Continue to build the camp, and General Xiahou will lead a cavalry to protect it." After Cao Cao gave the order, he turned and left.

"Congratulations to the general who won the flag, which made Cao Jun suffer a big loss and greatly boosted our army's prestige." Yi Ji cupped his hands.

Liu Pan waved his hand and said: "The military adviser is also making fun of me. What a big victory, it's just a little trouble for Cao Jun." In fact, Liu Pan was also a little proud in his heart. A somersault.

The following battles will become more routine, and Liu Pan will definitely not take the idea of ​​leading the cavalry out of the city to attack Cao's army again. With Cao Cao's treachery, he must have deployed soldiers and horses in the camp, just waiting for Liu Pan to plunge in. , The surface is loose, just to paralyze the enemy. In the past few days, Liu Pan has been busy reinforcing the city wall, mobilizing the young and strong in the city, and assisting the army to defend the city.

Liu Pan's previous charge made Cao Cao mistakenly think that Liu Pan had the courage of an ordinary man, but the next battle changed Cao Cao's view. From the perspective of Liu Pan's defense of the city, he was definitely a general and did not leak water. No matter how sharp Cao's offensive was, Still unable to break through Wancheng, coupled with the fact that there are young and strong people in the city carrying supplies, more troops are saved, which is more than enough to deal with Cao Jun's attack.

Such a delay lasted nearly a month. Cao Jun lost 5000 men and horses, and the wounded were countless. The loss of the defenders in the city was a little bit less. Resolute, not as flustered as before. He is changing from a highly trained soldier to an elite soldier. Young and strong have also quickly adapted to the battles. Cao Jun hit.

Seeing that the defenders on the city were getting stronger and stronger, Cao Cao couldn't rest anymore. He also had internal support in Wancheng, but his strength was too low to pose a threat to the defenders. Things, Cao Cao will definitely not do it.

In Xinye City, after Zhang Fei heard that Cao Cao's army had come to Wancheng, he couldn't sit still. Apart from Wancheng, among the other counties in Nanyang County, Xinye's defense was the strongest. Without him, there was Zhang Fei in the city. Guan Yu is such a powerful general, and Liu Xuande's benevolence and righteousness, the people are attached, even the people in the nearby counties rushed to Xinye when they heard that Cao Jun was coming, in order to avoid this disaster. Gradually, the people in Xinye City It reached more than 5 people, making the not very big Xinye City suddenly bustling.

Since losing Xuzhou, Liu Bei has deeply realized the importance of a counselor to the army. Sun Gan has good abilities in all aspects, but he lacks the unique vision on the battlefield. Usefulness, in the face of really big battles, usability is very small.

After being stationed in Xinye, Liu Bei has never stopped pursuing celebrities, but his thinking is too simple. In troubled times, strength comes first. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei has taken advantage of it to a certain extent. , but not enough to attract too many people, but it also recruited some talents for Liu Bei, none of which could fall into Liu Bei's eyes. What he needed was a talent who could control the situation.

Recently, when he heard the name of Wolong, he has been longing for it. This is the critical moment of the battle between Cao Jun and Jingzhou Army. Cao Cao may send troops to attack Xinye at any time. For the sake of counselors, Liu Bei doesn't care so much.

After Sun Qian found out where Wolong lived, Liu Bei took Zhang Fei there, leaving Guan Yu stationed in Xinye to prevent any changes.

After seeing this residence called Wolong, Liu Bei felt more and more that Wolong was definitely not a simple person, even the boys he met on the road could speak well, let alone Wolong himself, so Liu Bei was very excited. After wandering for many years, he finally wanted to I have a counselor of my own.

The place where Wolong lives is very simple, a few thatched huts.

Zhang Fei couldn't help it, and said: "Brother, I guess this Wolong doesn't have any real skills, you can see where he lives, and Wolong must know that Big Brother is coming, so he didn't go out to greet him. his business."

Liu Bei grabbed Zhang Fei, but he knew that this guy was a master who dared to do what he said. If he offended Wolong because of this and delayed his plan to find a counselor, it would be too wise.

"Third brother, don't be presumptuous. Mr. Wolong is a peerless master. How can you go out to meet me and wait, or wait until I go up to ask." Liu Bei straightened his clothes and walked forward slowly.

After the boy who was busy at the door heard Liu Bei's question, he got up and replied, "This general, sir, went out to visit friends and hasn't returned yet."

"Oh, then do you know when Mr. Wolong will come back?" Liu Bei thought about waiting for a few days at Wolong's residence, which could also show that he had enough patience.

"That's not sure, Mr. goes out to visit friends, sometimes it takes ten days and a half months, sometimes it takes more than a month." The boy replied.

There was a look of disappointment on Liu Bei's face. He must not be here for ten days and a half months. Cao Jun is in Nanyang County. Once there is a change in Xinye, so many years of hard work will be in vain. Seeing an opportunity to a certain extent, an opportunity to become stronger again, Cao Jun has 10 people, Liu Biao will definitely be difficult to resist, and he will be used at that time. This is also the best time to seize the military power. Once the military power is in hand, do Other things become much simpler.

"That's it, I don't want to bother you. I hope Mr. Wolong can inform Xinye of Liu Bei's visit when he comes back." Liu Bei cupped his hands.

The boy hurriedly returned the gift, Xinye Liu Bei, he had heard of him, he was a benevolent man, and his reputation in Jingzhou was not weak.

"I will tell you." The boy said.

Walking on the road, Zhang Fei couldn't bear it anymore, and said loudly: "What kind of bird man, when you see your elder brother coming, it's fine if you don't go out to greet him. If you're not at home, it's useless. Next time elder brother speaks directly, my old Zhang Just tie him back, it's fine, there's no need to be so troublesome."

Liu Bei scolded: "Third Brother, if you do this again, I won't bring you here next time. Mr. Wolong is an expert, so you must treat him with courtesy."

Seeing Liu Bei's reprimand, Zhang Fei didn't dare to say any more. The purpose of Guan Yu's sending him was more to protect Liu Bei's safety, and he stayed in Xinye City all day, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"What, brother, come again next time?" Zhang Fei suddenly remembered what Liu Bei said just now, and said.

"If you don't invite Mr. Wolong, you will never give up." Liu Bei said firmly. There are no worthless men under his reputation, and Liu Bei also went to the doctor in a hurry. It is too uncomfortable to live without a counselor for many years, which also strengthened him. The idea of ​​inviting Wolong to the army.

Seven days later, Liu Bei visited again, but the boy told him that he still hadn't come back, so Liu Bei had to take Zhang Fei back angrily.

The battle in Nanyang entered a fierce stage. The two sides invested more than 8000 troops at one time, and launched attacks from three directions.

Cao Cao did not expect that Jingzhou had such a strong army. Before, he only heard that Jingzhou had hundreds of thousands of armored men, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and sufficient soldiers and food. Now he has some experience.

Cao Cao was also very anxious after having no military exploits for a long time. Xi Zhicai suggested that Cao Cao first take the counties around Wancheng, and Xinye City was also included in this list.

At this time, Liu Bei had come to Mr. Wolong's residence for the third time, and the affairs in the army were too busy, so he couldn't leave him.

"May I ask if Mr. Wolong is at home?" Liu Bei asked.

Seeing that it was Liu Bei who came, the boy said with a smile: "This time, the master is back, but he is resting at this time." The boy's face showed embarrassment.

Liu Bei said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the two of us just wait outside the door."

Zhang Fei said dissatisfiedly: "My elder brother is here, hurry up and wake up Mr. Wolong......"

Liu Bei covered Zhang Fei's mouth and said in a low voice, "Don't disturb Mr. Wolong."
