Xiliang Iron Cavalry

To be honest, Cao Cao didn't want to fight against the Xiliang army in his heart, but he knew that the Xiliang army would not be willing to stay in barren lands such as Youliang, and would definitely join his own army in a battle. Cao Cao still understood the foundation of Yuan Shao in Jizhou Some, in a short period of time, Jia Rong wants to capture Jizhou, which is by no means an easy task, and it is reported in the intelligence that there are only 5 soldiers attacking Jizhou, which makes Cao Cao feel more at ease. With so many soldiers and horses, it is impossible to defeat even the Xiliang army.

"Continue to attack Nanyang County tomorrow, and we must take down Nanyang County." Cao Cao said.

Nanyang County is a hard nut to crack. Liu Pan is very determined to defend the city. In addition, with the help of Iraqis in the city, it is difficult for Cao Jun to take advantage. No matter what tricks Cao Jun has, they are all resolved. There is no good way either.

However, after Cao Cao occupied the surrounding counties of Nanyang County, Nanyang has become an isolated city. Unless Liu Biao leads an army to personally arrive, it is impossible to escape the road of destruction.

"Your Majesty, Cao Cao led an army of [-] to attack Nanyang County. The army is in critical condition. Please, Your Majesty, rescue him quickly." Seeing that Liu Biao had finally gone to court, an official said hastily.

Since becoming emperor, Liu Biao was very diligent at the beginning, going to court and leaving court on time every day to deal with affairs, but after a long time, he felt that being an emperor was not so good, and his basic necessities of life were restricted. Liu Biao is not an emperor Yuan Shu was so casual, strictly following the Han Emperor's specifications.

That's why Liu Biao sometimes went to the court every three days, sometimes ten days, like this time, it lasted for half a month. Seeing this situation, the officials in the court were all worried. His Majesty, can you make people feel at ease? Many officials even secretly contacted Cao Jun after giving birth. In the eyes of the family, the development of the family is the most important thing. As for whether Liu Biao is still the emperor by then, it will not have much to do with them It doesn't matter, Cao Cao treats the family generously, and it is also a good choice to seek refuge with him.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the officials under his command. They are incompetent, so officials naturally want to seek refuge with more powerful people.

"Well, I already know about this matter. The Cao bandits came and the people of Jingzhou suffered. The soldiers should fight the enemy bravely. There was Liu Pan of Nanyang County who made great achievements many times. I named him General Huben, and all the officers and men in the army were rewarded." Liu Biao said.

"My lord, now that Cao Jun has surrounded Nanyang County, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the angels to reach the city. Please make a decision early." The official said again unwillingly.

"Nonsense, my Jingzhou army is victorious in every battle, how can the little Cao army be able to resist, Mr. Kuai, don't you think so?" Liu Biao turned his attention to Kuai Liang.

Kuai Liang complained bitterly, Liu Biao is the sage, and every word and deed is the imperial decree, which cannot be disobeyed, but the situation in Nanyang is critical, so he tried to persuade him, but he swallowed the words, cupped his hands and said: "The sage It's true."

"Cao's army has [-] soldiers, and Nanyang County also has [-]. Don't be afraid. When I come to the imperial conquest, I must defeat Cao's army and conquer Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other Han territories." Liu Biao said proudly.

Seeing that Liu Biao was not confused, Kuai Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Report to the Holy Majesty, I have something to announce." After finally catching Liu Biao's last court, he naturally told everything as soon as possible.

"Hurry up." Liu Biao waved his hands impatiently.

"Liu Bei, the county magistrate of Xinye, abandoned the city and is now heading towards Jiangling. There are probably tens of thousands of civilians following him in the army."

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Liu Biao exclaimed in surprise, "Liu Bei is the Xinye Commander, why did he abandon the city? Why did the people follow?" Liu Biao still has a deep impression of Liu Bei. When he attacked Hangu Pass, The fighting power of Xuzhou soldiers is not weak, but Liu Bei was obedient, and he was right with Cao, and he was beaten without a home. After he became emperor, Liu Biao immediately sealed Liu Bei's high-ranking officials to show his wooing, and put Liu Bei in Xinye. Liu Biao wanted to rely on Liu Bei's strength and consume with Cao Jun, so as to preserve Jingzhou.

"Liu Bei wiped out 4000 enemies outside Xinye City, and 3000 enemies inside Xinye City. He killed more than [-] Cao troops and captured countless weapons. However, Cao's army is powerful, and Liu Bei can only avoid it." Cai Mao clasped his fists and said He is not interested in this kind of game played by the ministers of the DPRK and China. It is said that there is nothing wrong with him in such a court, but Liu Biao couldn't stand the pillow wind blown by the Cai family, and reactivated Cai Mao, but it was not a real official position. It is just a decoration in the court.

"Okay, Liu Xuande deserves a reward for his meritorious service." Liu Biao rewarded him again, without realizing that Jingzhou's warehouses were no longer enough to pay. Not to mention the reward, it was the normal salary of officials in the DPRK, and it was very difficult for Jingzhou to pay.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei, you are also a hero. Now that you are approaching Jiangling, you don't know what you want to do, so you have to guard against it?" Kuai Liang advised.

After some bargaining, a suitable countermeasure was finally discussed, preventing Liu Bei from entering Jiangling, but returning to aid Nanyang County. In this way, not only the crisis in Nanyang was alleviated, but also what that kid Liu Bei had in mind, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone. .

After retiring from the court, Liu Biao was lying on the couch very comfortably under the service of concubine Ji. As for the letters with the word "urgent" added, he had already thrown them aside without even looking at them. The comfortable days of being an emperor , making him feel that the previous decades were wasted.

You can eat whatever you want, play whatever you want, the beauties of the harem are up to you to choose, and the officials under your command can't say anything, because you are the Holy One, no matter what you do, you should do it.

After Liu Bei received the imperial decree from Liu Biao, he showed a wry smile. Didn't Liu Biao make it clear that he would send his troops to die? Cao's elite troops surrounded Nanyang County, waiting for the reinforcements from Jingzhou to defeat them one by one. I don't know if Liu Biao is really confused Still fake and confused.

"Sir, there is a decree from the Holy Spirit. I wonder what good strategy you have?" Liu Bei humbly asked for advice. After getting along with him for this period of time, he found that Zhuge Liang was indeed a rare talent. He was proficient in both military and political affairs. The strategies that come out are often whipped into the inside, which makes people feel enlightened. Compared with him, Sun Qian is not at all popular.

"Liu Biao, the thief of the country, when the first emperor was there, he recruited all the princes of the world to attack Dong Zhuo. He should not follow. But when the saint was in trouble, he still stuck to Jingzhou. He was called a Hanchen. He was actually a traitor of the Han. Now that Cao Cao violated the country, he should also After his death, he looked at the sky at night and found that Liu Jingsheng was about to die. My lord should take this opportunity to take the [-] people in Jingzhou into his hands to resist Cao Jun, so that the people of Jingzhou can live a stable life." Zhuge Liang still never forgets Jingzhou, Jingzhou is located in the Central Plains, and it is the land of the Four Wars. However, it is rich and prosperous. If Jingzhou is used as a springboard to take the land of Wuhui Bashu and continue to develop, it may not be without the power to fight the Xiliang Army Cao Jun. In Longzhong At that time, Zhuge Liang's analysis was also the same. At that time, the three princes of Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Jia Rong will form in the world, forming a powerful force, but Liu Bei always shirks the fact that the land of the same clan is not desirable, and this matter has been delayed.

"Sir, don't mention this again. Jingsheng and I have a kindness. Now that Jingzhou is in trouble, how can Bei just sit back and watch it? Now that Jingsheng is ordered to let the people enter Jiangling, it should be done as soon as possible, so as not to lose Nanyang."

Seeing that Liu Bei had already made up his mind, Zhuge Liang knew that what he said just now was in vain again.

After Liu Bei replenished the grain and supplies outside Jiangling City, he led the army to Nanyang.

The food and grass in the city is only enough for half a month. Because Cao Jun's cavalry are constantly wandering on the battlefield, the food and grass from Jingzhou are difficult to reach, and there are not many consumables such as arrows.

Liu Pan has not walked down the city wall for three days and three nights. Now he walks on the city wall, relying entirely on his strong will. If Cao Jun outside the city does not retreat, he will not go down the city wall for a day. He and the soldiers live and eat in the city. On the first day, seeing that the general was using his life so hard, the soldiers under his command were also fighting the enemy bravely. Several times it was very critical. Cao Jun was almost able to attack, but was stubbornly resisted by the soldiers.

"My lord, I am afraid that there is not much food and grass in the city. It is the best time for the army to attack and take down Nanyang."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "The words of the military adviser are reasonable, pass on the order, the three armies will attack Nanyang day and night, and the defenders in the city cannot be given a chance to breathe."

"Report, Liu Bei's army is only fifty miles away from Nanyang." The messenger rushed to the tent and said loudly.

"Liu Bei's army? How many people are there?" Cao Cao questioned. Liu Bei had been heading towards Jiangling since the victory in Xinye. Cao Cao didn't order his soldiers to pursue him, but unexpectedly he came back.

"About 1 people." The orderly replied.

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yuan Rang, lead [-] cavalry to defeat Liu Bei's army."

"Promise." Xia Houdun clasped his fists and said, dispatching three thousand cavalry at one time is definitely a big deal in the Central Plains. Since the Xiliang Army sold war horses, cavalry in the princes' army is not so rare. As long as you have money, you can buy war horses and build Saddles and horseshoes, let the soldiers train and become cavalry. Cavalry maneuvers fast on the battlefield and is most suitable for long-range raids and harassment. Three thousand cavalry are fighting ten thousand soldiers. Xia Houdun is very confident in defeating Liu Bei.

In this kind of aboveboard battle, all the intrigues and tricks are useless.

"Military division, the spies report back, Cao Jun's cavalry is only [-] miles away from our army." Zhang Fei hurried to Liu Bei's side, and first said to Zhuge Liang.

Since Zhuge Liang's first battle in Xinye, Liu Bei has realized Zhuge Liang's military talent, so he ordered his soldiers to report to Zhuge Liang first if there is a situation.

"My lord, Cao's army came here in a very aggressive manner. It is not advisable to confront him head-on. It is better to avoid his edge and wait for the opportunity to rescue Nanyang. It was not achieved overnight. Cao's army has nearly [-] troops and is powerful." Zhuge Liang said slowly. Said.
