Liu Rui could only respond to this part of Mei Changsu's chasing troops and return to the camp, but after dark, Mei Changsu led the army to set out again, and Cao Cao and Sun Ce's men were on their way. A little bit to set up the ambush circle.

"Changsu, Kong Ming has already discovered the weaknesses in Sima Yi's camps. In the future, we should be able to test Nanyang City. So before that, you must contain Cao Cao and Sun Ce's troops." Liu Rui personally After sending Mei Changsu outside the camp, he said.

Mei Changsu nodded, then smiled: "Don't worry, lord, even if I can't stop them, at least I can remove a layer of their skin, and when I come to Nanyang, I will just give us a complete annihilation. Chance."

Liu Rui nodded, and did not say more, and turned to send Mei Changsu away, while he returned to the tent and continued to discuss Nanyang with Zhuge Liang and others. , , .

574: spit out the bitter water

Liu Rui's side is still preparing to attack Nanyang City, while Liu Bei and Liu Biao are sighing with each other in Nanyang City.

After Liu Zhang of Yizhou was conquered by Liu Rui, among the princes in the world, only Liu Biao and Liu Bei were the two imperial relatives.Moreover, Liu Bei's identity was once questioned by Liu Rui.

"Brother Jing Sheng, Brother Yu is ashamed!" After Liu Bei entered Nanyang City, the first thing he did was to visit Liu Biao first, and as soon as they met, he sighed, "I led the army to the aid of the stars and night, originally I wanted to arrive earlier. Nanyang helped Brother Jing Sheng, who would have known that he was ambushed by Mei Changsu, under Liu Rui's commander, at Dafu Mountain. He cut off my rear army with [-] elite soldiers, and now, there are only a little more than half left!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei gave a deep bow: "I originally wanted to help Brother Jing Sheng, but who would have thought that I would trouble you now!"

And Liu Biao also got up in a hurry, holding Liu Bei's arm and said, "I am so grateful that Xuande can come to help me, how can I cause trouble?"

"Alas, it's a pity that my rear army and the provisions were cut off by Liu Rui's ambush. But these few days, my men have been rushing too fast, and they are all tired and exhausted. We also asked Jing Shenggong to give us them. In one day, when the soldiers have rested, go to help Brother Jing Sheng defend the city!" Liu Bei saw that Liu Biao didn't care, and immediately expressed his willingness to fight.

"Xuande don't have to worry, my military advisor Sima Yi built a large camp outside the city. Liu Rui has been attacking for many days, and now he has nothing to do with us." When Liu Biao said this, he was slightly proud, and then smiled. : "Xuande just let the soldiers rest. After you recharge your batteries, let's guard Nanyang together."

Hearing Liu Biao's words, Liu Bei shook his head slightly, and then said, "Brother Jing Sheng, when I was pursued by that Mei Changsu, I went to Jingyang under your control and wanted to replenish the food, grass and luggage, but now That Jingyang has already been occupied by Liu Rui, although I didn't investigate carefully on the way, but all the towns and cities that I passed by have already changed to Liu Rui's banner, if we keep Nanyang alone, I'm afraid it won't last long in the future!"

Liu Biao was stunned for a moment, then stood up abruptly, and said in shock, "Jingyang was captured by that Liu Rui?"

Liu Bei nodded and asked doubtfully, "Brother Jing Sheng, don't you know about this?"

Liu Biao shook his head, and then said solemnly: "I also said why I haven't received the food and grass sent by Jingyang for a while, I thought it was Na Huo Qubing who led Qingqi to harass our food team in the rear!"

Liu Bei also realized the seriousness of this matter at this moment, and immediately asked anxiously: "Brother Jing Sheng, how many grain transport teams do you have in total? Are there any time for delivery of grain that has not been delayed?"

"I heard from Zhongda a few days ago, that Liu Rui seemed to have mentioned Anzhong City, so, I am afraid that not only Jingyang was occupied by Liu Rui, but also Nieyang City to the north of Anzhong City. No guarantee!" Liu Biao let out a long sigh, and then said regretfully: "In the past few days, neither the grain transport teams in Nieyang and Anzhong cities have delivered their grains according to the agreed date. It's gone!"

Liu Bei was stunned for a while, but then he said helplessly: "Brother Jing Sheng, so, our Nanyang, I am afraid it has become an isolated city now!"

Liu Biao let out a long sigh, but exclaimed sadly, "How should this be, how should it be done!" Xiaoshuowa.com www.xiaoshuowa.com

Liu Bei is still a little speechless when he arrives. He escaped Mei Changsu's pursuit, but he escaped into Nanyang City. If Nanyang City becomes an isolated city, sooner or later, Liu Rui will consume everything. grain reserves.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh, as if he had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, but now he has fallen into the mud pit.But now, Liu Bei can only open his mouth to comfort Liu Biao: "Brother Jing Sheng, don't worry, then the army of Cao Mengde and Sun Bofu is on the way. As long as our princes work together, although the progress is not enough, it is more than enough to defend!"

"As of now, we can only count on Cao Mengde and Sun Bofu!" Liu Biao shook his head helplessly.

These two royal clansmen, now all with a sad look on their faces, tried each other a few words before Liu Bei left and went back to rest.

However, Cao Cao and Sun Ce, who were mentioned by Liu Biao and Liu Bei before, are still leading the army slowly on the road.

For example, Cao Mengde, who is standing on a hill now, looked up at the front, and said with a smile: "Zhicai, Yexian is in front, we have now entered the area of ​​Jingzhou!"

"My lord, we are still forty miles away from Ye County. If we hurry up today, we will be able to reach Ye County before dark!" Xi Zhicai answered.

Cao Cao shook his head and said with a smile, "Hurry up? Why should we step up? Then Liu Xuande was ambushed in Dafu Mountain. If we hurry up, wouldn't it be like that Liu Xuande."

"Master is wise!" Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, and then said: "Then Liu Rui will definitely send an ambush to ambush us. In the opinion of his subordinates, we just need to let the army go slowly."

Cao Cao nodded, then smiled: "Yes, we are not really going to rescue Liu Biao. We just need to be close enough to Nanyang here. When the fighter plane comes, we will send troops in!"

"My lord, why don't we go to Yexian to be stationed, and then send someone to investigate the situation in Nanyang, so that we can grasp the dynamics of Nanyang in time." Xi Zhicai suggested to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao didn't answer, he just looked at Ye Xian's direction and said, "We still need to make more preparations, if Liu Biao's army is defeated, I am afraid that our family alone will not be able to fight against Liu Rui's army. After a pause, Cao Cao said, "I think this place is good. If Jingzhou changes, we can take advantage of the situation to take Nanyang."

Xi Zhicai nodded and praised: "My lord is wise, your subordinates are a little impatient! Why don't you send messengers all the way to find that Sun Bofu, then we will both fight until Liu Rui and Liu Biao and Liu Bei are both hurt. When the time comes, we are sending troops to intervene!"

Cao Cao nodded heavily, and then said with a smile: "No need to worry about Zhicai, now that Liu Bei has arrived in Nanyang, Liu Biao's safety is a little more secure. Set up camp first, and then contact Sun Ce also after the army is ready. Not too late."

"Sun Bofu wants to come here for the same purpose as us. If we didn't send troops from Jiangdong, I'm afraid we would have arrived in Nanyang City long ago!" Xi Zhicai chuckled, and then said: "So, even if we don't send troops If people go to find Sun Ce, I'm afraid he will send people to find us sooner or later."

575: each with their own minds

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were discussing Sun Ce, and Sun Ce was also talking about Cao Cao with Zhou Yu.

"Gong Jin, just now our scouts received news that Liu Xuande was beaten down by Liu Rui's subordinates in Dafu Mountain, and at least half of his troops were lost, and all the food and provisions were lost!" Sun Ceyang raised the battle report in his hand. , and then handed it over to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu glanced at the content of the intelligence, pondered for a moment, and then whispered: "This Liu Xuande is really virtuous!"

When Sun Ce heard Zhou Yu's evaluation of Liu Bei, he also asked with a smile: "He wants to be the first bird, hehe, this time, he has enough fun!"

Zhou Yu frowned and said, "It's a pity! I heard that Lu Bu from Xuzhou didn't send troops at all. Otherwise, it would be better if the two of them fell into the sand in Jingzhou!"

Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't believe it: "Gong Jin, what you said is that we took the opportunity to capture Xuzhou?"

"If Liu Bei and Lu Bu lose all their troops and horses, even if we don't take them, then Cao Mengde will take Jingzhou without hesitation!" Zhou Yu laughed twice, and then laughed: "At that time, we can Share Xuzhou with Cao Mengde!"

Sun Ce nodded, and then said again: "But that will have to wait until both Liu Xuande and Lu Fengxian have no troops. Now is obviously not the time!" Seeing Zhou Yu nodded in agreement, Sun Cecai said with a smile again. : "Speaking of that Cao Mengde, it seems that his army did not enter Jingzhou!"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Then Jia Xu, who is under Cao Mengde's account, is known as a poison fighter, so he can naturally see the current situation in Jingzhou. I am afraid that Cao Mengde is also thinking the same as us, and now it should be waiting for the opportunity at the border of Jingzhou! "

"This Cao Mengde, if he wants to compete with us for Jingzhou, what should he do at that time? Could it be that he wants to fight with him Cao Mengde?" Sun Ce couldn't help but be a little worried. Or Liu Rui.

Zhou Yu shook his head, and then said, "My lord, it's not Cao Mengde and our two families, but us and Liu Bei's three families, and even that Lu Bu will be involved at a critical moment!" Zhou Yu's words immediately let Sun Ce His face was full of doubts, but Zhou Yu continued to speak: "This matter in Jingzhou, the strategists of each family must be able to see clearly, that Liu Xuande's face is white and black, although I don't know what he did to help him this time. What is it, but that Liu Xuande has absolutely no good intentions!"

Sun Ce burst out laughing, and immediately said with a smile: "Gongjin has a lot of dissatisfaction with this Liu Xuande!"

"My lord, don't underestimate this Liu Xuande, this person is no worse than Cao Mengde, but that Cao Mengde is tricky, but at least he is still a man of temperament, but this Liu Xuande is extremely hypocritical, and his mouth is hanging on. It is morality, but at the critical moment, Liu Xuande is the most unethical person!" Zhou Yu's remarks made Sun Ce nodded again and again.

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, Sun Ce asked: "Since Liu Xuande has already entered Nanyang, should we lead the army forward like Liu Xuande, or stay still like Cao Mengde?"
