Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 322 Liao Hua Chen Dao
Jingzhou
Nanyang City.

On the city wall, black flags fluttered in the wind.

Countless soldiers in armor, holding spears, stood firmly and straight on the edge of the city wall, always paying attention to the movement outside the city, and there were also many soldiers, holding sharp knives, leaning against the edge of the city wall to rest.

And you can also see bloodstains on the bodies of these soldiers, and the original bright armor is also a little tattered.

There is also bright red blood everywhere on the city wall. Some of the dried blood has also changed from bright red to black exhausted. It is very deep and cannot be washed off even if it is washed.

This can be seen.

There have been many battles in Nanyang. From the bloodstains that have not completely dried up, it can be seen that not long ago, a tragic battle took place in Nanyang City.

There are several people walking on the city wall.

The armor of the two leaders was also stained with a lot of blood. One had a youthful face, while the other was much more mature. They both held their swords and looked around the city wall.

Two soldiers followed behind him.

These two people were Liao Hua and Liao Yuanjian who were originally ordered to station in Jingbei, and Chen Dao and Chen Shuzhi who led troops from Xinye to support when Jingzhou was under siege.

Today's Chen Dao, although he is not very old, and his face is still a little green, but he has experienced many battles, and he has grown a lot, and gradually he is able to stand alone and contribute to the defense of Nanyang.

And when in Jingzhou.

He also asked Zhao Yun and others about martial arts. Although he has not become a famous first-class general in later generations, he is not far behind.

at this time.

Both of them also had sad looks on their faces, and the current situation was getting more and more difficult day by day.

In the end, both of them also stopped on the edge of a city wall, looking out of the city, there was the coalition army of Zhang Miao and Zhang Baiqi, and they were also their opponents who had stood here for so long.

"General Chen, what is the current situation of our army?" Liao Hua asked with his hands on the city wall.

In his heart, he also admired Chen Dao who was younger than him and joined in later, except that at the beginning, Chen Dao was a little uncomfortable.

But with the battle after battle, he has also grown rapidly, and now, except for some overall perspectives, the rest are no worse than him.

Chen Dao didn't know what was going on in Liao Hua's mind, so he cupped his hands and said, "General Liao, our army has less than [-] soldiers capable of fighting, while the enemy has at least [-] troops!"

heard.

Liao Hua narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems they are in a hurry!"

"The 20 Cao troops in Luoyang are now thinking of coming to Nanyang, and Zhang Miao and Zhang Baiqi are unwilling to delay any longer!" Chen Dao also agreed.

Before, the coalition forces of Zhang Miao and Zhang Baiqi also tried their best to attack Nanyang City, but they didn't try their best, because they both knew very well that they were attacking Jingzhou.

And the rest of the princes are also ready to move, but before the matter is clear, except for the two of them, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others, they didn't really make a move, they just stationed troops and waited for the opportunity.

Now Yuan Shao dispatched Yan Liang to lead an army of [-] to secretly rush to Xinye, everything became different.

The 20 Jiangdong water army led by Zhou Yu left Lujiang River and headed for Jiangxia; Liu Bei, who developed in Xuzhou, was also planning to bypass Runan and come to Jingzhou; Pull over.

This is also the reason why Zhang Miao and Zhang Baiqi were anxious. If they did not take Nanyang before the 20 Cao army arrived, then it would be difficult for them to take Nanyang City again.

After taking down Nanyang City, even if 20 Cao troops arrive, they will not be afraid, relying on the strong city wall.

"What's the current situation in Jingzhou City?" Liao Hua asked after thinking for a while.

"The Lord Zigong's order was sent back urgently, and Master Ma also asked the [-] soldiers who stayed in Xinye to give up their garrison in Xinye and set up camp in front of the road, preventing the [-] Yuan army from taking Jingzhou City directly, buying time for Jingzhou City to evacuate!"

"Although Jingzhou City was a bit chaotic, the evacuation was carried out in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Mrs. Ma and the two adults of the Kuai family. Now it is also evacuated in sevens and eighties. However, the three mistresses insisted on waiting until the end. Evacuate!"

"Nonsense!" Liao Hua heard Chen Dao's last words, and shouted directly: "What are Ma Liang and the others doing, why don't you persuade them?"

"The three mistresses insist on it wholeheartedly, even Mrs. Ma and the others can't change it!" Chen Dao said with a wry smile.

heard.

Liao Hua's eyes froze, and he also understood the meaning. After all, their identities were there. If Cai Yan and the three were determined, they would not be able to do anything beyond that.

After concentrating for a while, he said: "General Chen, you draw three thousand soldiers from the army and rush back to Jingzhou City to protect the safety of the three mistresses!"

"Yes!" Chen Dao was shocked.

Liao Hua waved his hand and said: "There is no need to worry too much here. Don't forget that the lord allows me to act freely. I only need to hold on until the arrival of Cao Jun, then I can abandon this city and retreat to Shangyong. Let Cao Jun and Zhang Miao fight with each other. !"

After listening to Liao Hua's words.

Chen Dao also fell silent. Knowing the current situation in Jingzhou, Liu Qi didn't let them stick to Nanyang City and retreat to Shangyong. This was the strategy they discussed after receiving Liu Qi's order.

After learning about Cao Jun's movement, he gave up Nanyang City more firmly and withdrew to Shangyong.

Then, in order to win Nanyang City, Cao Jun, Zhang Miao, and Zhang Baiqi's coalition forces will definitely have disputes, and it is very likely that they will go to war directly.

Thus.

Those who sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight will become them, and then look for opportunities to regain Nanyang.

"There are [-] soldiers delaying the pace of Yuan Jun. Jingzhou City has [-] city guards, and Jiang Xia has also sent a [-] soldiers to support Jingzhou City. What's more, General Zhao has led the army to speed up the march. Now that we have passed Baidi City, we can arrive tomorrow evening at the latest, Yuan Jun can only capture Jingzhou City at most!"

However, at the end of the day, Chen Dao felt that he didn't have much confidence.

"Having said that, you still can't be too careless, and there is no need to worry too much here, so General Chen should listen to me!" Liao Hua shook his head.

How could he not have thought of this, but he was still worried. If Cai Yan and the others had already evacuated Jingzhou City, they would not have made such an arrangement, but Cai Yan and the others were still in Jingzhou City, so they had to make better arrangements. arranged.

With Chen Dao and [-] soldiers and horses, at least he could be much more stable and able to cope with some situations.

Looking at the serious and serious Liao Hua.

Chen Dao frowned, his eyes became firm, and he cupped his hands and said, "No, then I will leave it to General Liao!"

"Don't worry!" Liao Hua said with a smile.

"Take care of yourself!"

Chen Dao also cupped his hands, put his hand on his saber, and turned away with the two soldiers.

Now that the decision has been made, there is no need to think too much about it, and it can be arranged earlier if it is one step earlier.

soon.

Chen Dao then led [-] soldiers and horses out of the gate on the other side, heading straight for Jingzhou City.
