Zhuge was reborn and killed the old thief Sima

The situation in the entire Nanyang County has become a mess. Even if a truly wise man comes to Nanyang County now, he will be given a splitting headache by these messy battlefields.

Wancheng was peaceful with murderous intentions. Gao Lan and Huo Jun continued to fight to the death in Fancheng, but Zhang Xiu, who was responsible for intercepting and killing Zhao Yun, was killed by Zhao Yun.

The most important thing is that the general Zhang Hehe who was supposed to attack Xinye did not go to Xinye, but disappeared.

What is even more disturbing is that Zhao Yun, who has been under the banner of rescuing Wancheng, has also disappeared...

When the news came back to Xiangyang, Liu Biao's eyes finally widened.

"You mean that Zhao Zilong from Xinye hasn't disappeared either?"

"Yes!" Wang Wei's face became even more ugly at this time, "The general was negligent. He had been watching Zhao Yun's troops heading towards Wancheng before, so he didn't pay too much attention to him.

But...but several days have passed since the last time, and the soldiers and horses have not yet arrived near Wancheng, and the general feels something is wrong.

When they went to investigate again, they found that although the soldiers and horses were still under the banner of Zhao Yun, they had been commanded by his deputy general Gao Xiang.

And Zhao Yun, another deputy general Mi Wei, as well as their cavalry and horses... all disappeared!"

"This..." Liu Biao reached out and stroked his already gray beard, his brows sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing, "It seems that Zhao Zilong is not an ordinary person.

He must have noticed some problems. Liu Xuande is really a blessing."

"Lord, what should we do now?

Do you want to..."

"Well, it's indeed time." Liu Biao nodded directly, "If the chaos in Nanyang County continues, I'm afraid I will lose my face.

Send an order to Cai Mao, prepare to hold back Xiahou Dun's troops.

Shi Yuan had already raised enough food, grass and baggage from Jingnan, and Pang Ji had also informed Zhongye of his plan.

In this battle, Han Sheng is the main general and Yidu is the military advisor.

You personally escort the grain and fodder for the later period. Shi Yuan will return to Xiangyang first and serve as my military counselor here. Zhongye will provide support.

The army will set off immediately. Huang She, the prefect of Zhangling County, has prepared provisions for the army for ten days, so that you can unexpectedly send troops to Nanyang.

Remember, bypass Wancheng and block the way back from joining the army!"

"I will obey your orders!" Wang Wei roared and immediately turned around and left. The figure walking away with long strides revealed his current excitement.

Liu Biao, on the other hand, looked at the map next to him, his face slowly returning to calmness, one hand gently stroking his beard, and the other hand tapping the desk in front of him.

"It's a pity. I thought that most of Liu Xuande's troops would be lost this time, but who knew that they would escape.

Don’t let your generals take the credit for this battle. What happens next will depend on how far you can go.”

Liu Biao's soliloquy seemed to be heard by a mountain ghost. In this empty room, a lonely old man looked at everything in front of him and tried hard to maintain his clarity.

......

"Report~" In the military camp under Fancheng City, Gao Lan, who had been fighting for nearly half a month and still failed to break through Fancheng, saw the scout who was responsible for inquiring about Xiangyang news first.

"Tell me, what's going on in Jingzhou?"

"Liu Jingsheng sent General Huang Zhong to come to Nanyang with 20,000 soldiers and horses from Xiangyang, and the vanguard Zhuo Ying was approaching Fancheng..."

"Nonsense!" Gao Lan, who was not in a hurry at first, opened his eyes and yelled angrily after hearing this, "Twenty thousand soldiers and horses are not twenty thousand cattle and sheep.

How can they come if they don’t even have food, grass and baggage ready!"

"The governor of Zhangling is Huang She, the son of Huang Zu. Although this man is mediocre in talent, he is quite loyal to Liu Jingsheng and has already prepared the grain and grass in the county.

Huang Zhong's army used the food and grass in their hands.

In addition, there is a steady stream of other grain and grass coming into Xiangyang from Jingnan."

The scouts' information was very complete, and I have to say that the gap between the north and the south in terms of war potential is far from ordinary.

When Gao Lan heard this, his face began to look a little ugly.

"This... is there any news from Junyi?"

Gao Lan's mind is a little confused now. He really can't figure out what is going on. He can only place his hope on his "disappeared" friend and comrade.

"Back to General, there is no news from General Zhang He..."

"What about General Yuan Rang?"

As the commander-in-chief of an army, Gao Lan felt that Xiahou Dun had to say something at this time.

"...I'm afraid General Xiahou hasn't received the news yet."

Gao Lan looked at the deputy general in front of him, then at the scouts below who were waiting for orders, and finally just rubbed his forehead.

"That's all...that's all... go and tell General Yuan Rang all the news, so that he can make preparations in advance.

We will wait to fight or withdraw and ask him to come down again.

Before the order comes, we want to gather our troops and repair the camp.

To prevent the enemy from making a surprise attack, we will also send additional scouts to the surrounding areas. If...if Huang Zhong wants to cut off our return journey, I'm afraid it will be really troublesome."

"No!" Without any orders, all Gao Lan could do was defend cautiously.

Gao Lan, who was under Fan City, suddenly changed his fighting style, which made Fan City's guard Huo Jun's eyes light up. He guessed that reinforcements from the rear were about to arrive.

However, he did not rush out of the city to fight. Instead, he asked his soldiers to continue to defend, or even double the defense.

"We are already in sight of victory in this battle, so we must not miss the opportunity due to carelessness!

It’s best to be careful and don’t be careless!”

"No!"

Seeing all the soldiers agreeing in a loud voice, Huo Jun and Xu Shu beside him nodded slightly.

Gao Lan's scouts kept traveling to various places, and he collected a large amount of information, which he quickly forwarded to Xiahou Dun in Wancheng.

At the same time, something that worried him also happened.

"That old guy Huang Zhong is indeed heading towards the back... Notify General Yuan Rang immediately to ask him to be careful!"

"Command the army, slowly and..."

"Report to General Zhang He that a secret message has arrived."

Just when Gao Lan was about to order the army to evacuate, Zhang He, who had been silent for a long time, finally passed the news.

"News about Jun Yi?" Gao Lan frowned and didn't know what his friend meant by this. He just felt that there seemed to be a gap between them after they surrendered...

The content of the secret message was very short, but Gao Lan's expression was ugly.

"Is this really Jun Yi's secret letter?" Gao Lan looked at the familiar font, and he was convinced that it was Zhang He's letter, but this order...

"General Zhang He said that General Xiahou already knew about this matter, so he just asked the general to act according to the plan."

"..." Gao Lan had already crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball, his face was pale and pale, and his eyes were flashing, "Where is Junyi now?"

"General Zhang He has other important matters..."

"Hmph! This guy is really looking more and more like him." Gao Lan snorted coldly, and then directly changed his previous order, "Send orders to all ministries to continue attacking Fancheng!"
