Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

On the other hand, after Wen Ping led an army of 20,000 to cross the river to the south, he traveled day and night, and did not go to Linyuan for the first time, but came to Hanshou.

Wen Ping's idea is very simple, to control Hanshou first, so as not to let someone report to Jin Xuan and others.

The 20,000-strong army Chen soldiers Hanshou, the city of Hanshou is not large, and there are not many defenders in the city.

Therefore, the county order of Hanshou was very aware of current affairs, and opened the city gate as soon as possible to welcome the army of Wenpin into the city.

At this time, it was only two days since Jin Xuan and the three of them left with their troops.

After controlling Hanshou, Wen Ping sent someone to Linyuan to contact Gong Zhi and them.

Gong Zhi and Han Shang learned that Wen Ping had led a large army to take Han Shou, and immediately went to meet Wen Ping to discuss what to do next.

Originally, Wen Ping wanted to follow Liu Jue's order to block the retreat of Jin Xuan and others in Zishui.

However, Wen Ping has always been brave and strategic, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the three counties were each guarding 10,000 troops, and there should not be too many defenders in Quanling and Chenxian at this time.

Just take advantage of this opportunity to take Quanling and Chenxian first, and take Liu Du and Zhao Fan's lair to the end, so that these three people have nowhere to go if they want to run.

After a day of repairs in Hanshou, Wen Ping left 500 soldiers in Hanshou, and the rest of the army rushed towards Zishui.

In less than a day, Wen Ping arrived at Zishui and ordered his subordinates to take Yiyang first, and at the same time be responsible for the retreat of Jin Xuan and others.

Wen Ping himself led 9,000 soldiers and horses, with a few days' of dry food, and traveled lightly towards Quanling.

For some counties on the road, Wen Ping chose to turn a blind eye, but fortunately, the Jingnan area is sparsely populated and there are not many cities, so he can be bypassed.

On the fifth day, Wen Ping finally arrived at a place twenty miles outside Quanling City.

Wen Ping was not in a hurry to advance, but ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot, eat some dry food to replenish their strength, and at the same time sent spies to investigate the situation in Quanling City.

Half an hour later, the spy came back and reported: "General, there are not many guards in Quanling City, and they are not very strict, even the city gates are wide open. "

Wen Ping sneered, and seeing that the soldiers had rested enough, he immediately raised his troops and headed towards Quanling.

At this time, Quanling City was guarded by Liu Du's son Liu Xian, led by 2,000 soldiers and horses.

Jiangnan is not as war-torn as the north, and the four counties of Jingnan and other places are wild places in the eyes of people, and there are almost no wars.

Therefore, these days, Liu Xian has been drinking and having fun every day, so unhappy, and he doesn't care about defending the city at all.

The soldiers at the head of the city also looked relaxed, and their faces were unguarded.

This is of course because Lingling has not had a war for too long, and it is also because of the siege of Liu Jue by an army of 80,000 this time, and many people feel that Liu Jue is bound to lose.

So when Wen Ping came to Quanling City five miles away, he was discovered by the soldiers guarding the city, and immediately closed the city gate in a hurry, and then went to report to Liu Xianyu.

When Liu Xian heard the report from his subordinates, his face was full of disbelief, and he woke up most of the time in an instant, and after hurriedly putting on his armor, he hurried to the city.

I saw that an army outside the city was neat, about 10,000 people, and there was a word 'Wen' written on the handsome flag, which made Liu Xian's heart suddenly chuckle.

Among the generals in Jingzhou, who is surnamed Wen, Liu Xian naturally thinks of Wen Ping.

"Wen Ping is here with an army, won't it?" Liu Xian swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and the wine he had just drunk suddenly turned into a cold sweat.

Liu Xian didn't think about it, and immediately called Huo Kuang and Ding You, the chief bookkeeper, to discuss countermeasures.

"Two gentlemen, now that Wen Ping is leading the army here, how can we resist it, there are only two thousand people in the city!" Liu Xian finally knew that he was in a hurry.

Huo Kuang and Ding You also changed their faces, but they still remained calm on the surface.

Ding You coughed lightly and said: "Childe don't worry, although the enemy is outnumbered now, Quanling is also a tall city, if we are determined to defend it, the enemy army may not be able to break through the city." "

Huo Kuang also nodded and said: "Yes, besides, the other party came from afar, but we are waiting for work, if the prince is in the city to supervise the formation, how can there be a reason to not be able to defend the Quanling?"

Liu Xian's ability was average, and he didn't have any judgment ability, and when he heard that he was engaged and the master bookkeeper said this, his heart suddenly settled down a lot.

"Yes, although there are only 2,000 soldiers, relying on the tall city of Quanling, it will definitely be able to block the other party. "

Liu Xian nodded, and then said: "I just don't know what happened to my father's side, didn't it mean that the army of the three counties gathered in Hanshou could make the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang dare not go south?"

Ding You stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The other party wants to attack the three county offices, so that Lord Taishou and them can mess up their own positions, and we must not let the other party get their wish." As long as the Taishou-sama's side wins a great victory, the enemy forces outside the city will retreat without a fight. "

"What Master Ding said is very true. Liu Xian felt very reasonable when he heard it.

Outside the city, Wen Ping saw that the gate of Quanling was closed, and he was about to call his subordinates to attack the city, but at this time, he had a plan, and immediately told a deputy to let them do what they said.

The adjutant happily accepted the order, and hurriedly ordered a thousand soldiers and horses, and conveyed what Wen Ping said, so that the soldiers could remember it firmly.

"I remember everything I said just now, and I will shout loudly for a while, as loud as I want. The adjutant said with a straight face.

"Whew!" replied the soldier.

After a while, the adjutant led the soldiers and approached Quanling City, and Liu Xian and the others at the head of the city saw it, and their hearts tightened a string.

When they were still a hundred steps away from the city wall, the thousand soldiers stopped and began to shout in unison towards Quanling City.

"The defenders in the city are all listening, the rebels have been defeated by Jiangxia Taishou Liu Jue, and the three county guards have already surrendered to the law, you open the city and surrender early, and the governor will not care about your sins. If we continue to resist, we will wait until our army breaks through the city, and we will be beheaded regardless of the size of the official position. "

The voices of these thousand soldiers were loud, not to mention the head of Quanling City, even the people in the city could hear it.

The faces of the soldiers in Quanling City changed, and Liu Xian's face was even pale, and his head felt dizzy.

"How is it possible! How is it possible! The army of 80,000 was defeated, and my father was ...... ...... too," Liu Xian muttered to himself, his face full of horror.

What besieged Liu Jue, captured and killed him, and then attacked Jiangxia, it became very ridiculous in Liu Xian's eyes.

Liu Xian had no choice but to look at Ding You and Huo Kuang and asked, "Two gentlemen, now that the 80,000 army in front of us has been defeated, what should we do?"

Ding You saw that Liu Xian's face was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Son, don't panic, this must be a ploy by Wen Ping, according to my estimate, Lord Taishou and them are not defeated at this moment, but Liu Jue may not be able to hold on." "

Liu Xian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he grabbed Ding You's sleeve and said, "Is what Master Ding said true?"

"Of course, Lord Taishou, they have an army of 80,000, how can they be defeated so easily?" Ding You's expression was very calm, and even with a confident smile.

"Hahaha, Master Ding is very right, fortunately you reminded me, otherwise I would have almost been fooled. Liu Xian laughed and wiped the cold sweat on his head.

Huo Kuang also wiped a cold sweat, and said with a face full of shame: "Such a slight trick almost blinded us, but it made Brother Ding laugh." "

"The other party is treacherous, and it's nothing to be fooled for a while. Ding You looked at Liu Xian and Huo Kuang, and couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.
