Zhuge was reborn and killed the old thief Sima
Chapter 73 The Battle of Nanyang——Liu Biao
The battle on the banks of the Feishui River made Zhao Yun and others temporarily relieved, but it also brought Zhao Yun's rescue plan to a deadlock.
"Not only do we have no food and supplies, but our soldiers are in disarray. Many wounded soldiers have not been properly accommodated. The most important thing is that we still have many surrendered troops.
If we continue to Wancheng like this, even if Xiahou Dun is not good at using troops, he may not be so easy to deal with."
This time it was Mi Wei who made the suggestion. As Mi Zhu's son, he can be regarded as a true elder.
In some cases, he may have followed Liu Bei earlier than Zhao Yun. When he was in Xuzhou, Zhao Yun was still meditating behind closed doors at home, and Chen Dao had not yet left his hometown.
And he is already Liu Bei's bodyguard. He has followed Liu Bei for many years and has seen a lot of battles.
As for Xiahou Dun...well, it's hard for anyone in the world to disrespect Xiahou Dun, but it's also hard for anyone to not want to laugh when they hear this name.
But Mi Wei still gave him enough respect. After all, Xiahou Dun was just not good at fighting, and he wasn't... necessarily a fool!
Zhao Yun nodded slightly at Mi Wei's suggestion, but did not agree.
"Cannot retreat at this time!"
"We can't... We know the general's intention to rescue Wancheng, but now..."
"You have misunderstood." Zhao Yun interrupted Mi Wei, "It's not that I have to go to Wancheng, but now... I'm afraid we have no way out."
As Zhao Yun spoke, he kept stroking the war horse on his crotch, feeling the fighting spirit and agitation of the war horse, directly asking a question for the two of them.
"Tell me, why can Zhang Xiu's cavalry appear here?"
"..." Mi Wei and Gao Xiang looked at each other, neither of them seemed to understand what this sentence meant, "Zhang Xiu once stationed in Wancheng, Nanyang, and is very familiar with this generation.
He has cavalry under his command, and Nanyang is mostly plains. As long as Xiahou Dun surrounds Wancheng, he can easily find a gap and appear here to ambush us..."
"But why is it this time?" Zhao Yun continued, "I once served under General Gongsun, and I also commanded the cavalry on behalf of the princess. I know the speed of the cavalry very well.
Zhang Xiu was previously transferred to Guandu to participate in the war, and it only took a few days to get here from Guandu.
But why did they come here?"
"Of course it's Cao Cao's order..."
"Why did Cao Cao suddenly issue this order?" Zhao Yun's words made the two of them understand a little bit, and their brows slowly wrinkled.
"The general means..."
"Rogue Cao is probably planning to attack Jizhou while the iron is hot. He would not be in the mood to cause trouble in Nanyang. It is a great blessing that I can't wait to find trouble for him.
He actually let Xiahou Dun take the initiative to attack Wancheng... If only Xiahou Dun was the only one, it would be reasonable, but this picture is here.
That must be because of Cao Cao's order.
But... it has been a long time since Wancheng was taken away by the lord, and it was also a few months ago that the lord left for Jiangxia.
Even if they had to crawl, Cao Cao would definitely be able to get the news within a month. Plus the travel time, plus raising food and fodder... they should have started half a month ago at the latest.
But if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have received the news for half a month before the Lord went to Jingnan. I'm afraid the news has only reached Xudu now.
I'm afraid Cao Cao doesn't know yet...
What does Xiahou Dun and Zhang Xiu mean by doing this at this time?"
Although Zhao Yun is not famous now, he is still a veteran who has fought for many years. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was already the rebel commander of Changshan County.
He is also very famous among King Changshan, otherwise he would not be able to bring the soldiers and horses of Changshan County directly to Youzhou to find Gongsun Zan under those circumstances.
Although he rested for seven years, he still had more than ten years of fighting experience. In this case, even if he couldn't figure out what Cao Mengde wanted to do, he could still calculate the time.
After Zhao Yun finished explaining, Mi Wei and Gao Xiang looked at each other again, and their expressions became a little ugly.
"The general means that they have already planned something?"
"Before, I just doubted that even though Cai Mao was mediocre, how could he be almost succeeded in a sneak attack by Xiahou Dun, and why did he quickly send a letter asking for help after Xiahou Dun failed in the sneak attack?
The guards of Juiyang City are watching us fight, but there has been no movement so far...
I just thought it was strange before, but now I am sure that someone in Jingzhou has secretly colluded with that Cao thief.
Liu Jingsheng...Liu Jingsheng is old after all!"
Zhao Yun's sigh conveyed the helplessness of many people in Jingzhou.
At this time, in Xiangyang City, the old and dim Liu Jingsheng was looking at the general Wang Wei in front of him in his study. There was nothing calm and peaceful in his eyes.
"The battle in Nanyang has already begun, right?"
If Liu Biao's words were heard by people outside, I don't know how many people's jaws would be shocked.
I don’t know how many people in Jingzhou today feel that Liu Biao is old and confused, and now all the power in Jingzhou has fallen into the hands of Kuai Cai and other Jingzhou aristocratic families.
But this sentence shows that this old Jingzhou... is still the hero who knew everything well.
"Don't worry, my lord, the general's men have been staring in the direction of Nanyang. Cao Mengde's troops entered Nanyang one month ago.
Now Xiahou Dun is raiding Wancheng, Zhang Xiu is ambushing near Xinye, and the surrendered general Gao Lan is preparing to sneak attack Fancheng.
But we can't find Zhang He, the other general who was demoted.
Finally, I will ask my lord to punish you."
"That's all, Zhang He is well-known in Jizhou after all. Some omissions are normal, don't worry about it." Liu Biao chuckled, and then couldn't help coughing for a while before continuing.
"Hey...when I was young, who would dare to say that they were doing anything under my nose, but now...
I'm afraid that in their eyes, Jingzhou is just a shabby house with air leakage everywhere.
Old Jingzhou, who is over sixty years old, has no favor for his eldest son and has to rely on outsiders to gain a foothold. Although his second son is praised to the extreme, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he will be a puppet in the future.
I can see it myself...but what can I do..."
Seeing Liu Biao suddenly sighing, veteran Wang Wei also changed his expression, "Master, you must not say that, we will definitely assist you in Jingzhou..."
"How about here in Jingzhou?" Liu Biao suddenly laughed, "Can you deal with the Sun family in Jiangdong, or can you deal with Cao Mengde, who is about to dominate the world?
Even Liu Bei, I'm afraid you are no match for him.
These two sons of me... Everyone says that I am undecided about them, but what can I do?
Choosing Qi'er may preserve the reputation of this lineage, but it cannot protect the life of this lineage.
If you choose Cong'er... you will become a rich man in the future. Cao Mengde will treat their orphan and widowed mother well even if they are just pretending.
In the future, Cao Mengde’s heirs will not embarrass them.
It’s just that this huge foundation is about to be handed over to others. I, Liu Jingsheng, have been busy all my life... ugh!”
