Chapter 315

Xiangyang, the prefecture of animal husbandry.

In the backyard, Huang Yueying is making a crossbow.

Compared with the big yellow crossbow made before, the crossbow made by Huang Yueying now is more compact.

The rhubarb crossbow needs one person to pull and one person to load. It is a sharp weapon in the battlefield, but it is not easy to move and lacks flexibility. The small crossbow made now can be used by ordinary soldiers in the army, and can be equipped on soldiers in batches.

Liu Xiu's plan is to equip the flying tiger camp under Huang Hu first.

One thousand Flying Tiger Battalion soldiers are equipped with crossbows, which may have an unexpected effect on the battlefield.

Huang Yueying took the crossbow in her hand and tried it with the target. She shook her head and said, "husband, the accuracy of the crossbow is still a little rough. The shooting power is not enough. I'll change it."

Liu xiudao: "Yueying, don't worry. Take your time." Liu Xiu knew that his words of persuasion must be left ear in and right ear out. Once Huang Yueying indulged in it, he must do it well.

"Step on it! Step on it

A sound of footwork came from outside the yard.

Deng AI came in in a hurry and said with a smile, "young master, general Deng asked to see him and said that he had something important to report."

"I'll go to the study at once!"

Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying said and went to the study.

When the guests and the host were seated, Liu Xiuwang looked forward to Deng Zhan.

Deng Zhan looked excited and couldn't wait to say: "young master, the news from Nanyang County is that Zhang Ren's army has swept all the counties in Nanyang County and is now in Xinye. Zhuge Liang led the resistance, and the situation was in a stalemate. "

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "well, I've come to this step at last."

Deng Zhan said: "my Lord, if Pang's plan is successful, there will be no more suspense about this battle. Liu Bei will be defeated in this battle. "

Liu Xiu stood up and said, "spread the news all over Xiangyang City immediately and let the people know. Before, Liu Bei spread the news of the crisis in Changsha County, which made Xiangyang's people floating. Although the voices of the people were suppressed by the Shan, some people were still worried. The news of Xinye will be a great blow to Liu Bei and will also boost the morale of the people in Xiangyang. "

"Lord, in Changsha County, although Ancheng county and Chaling County were lost, General Huang presided over the overall situation and did not lose. The situation still did not deteriorate," Deng said

Liu xiudao: "well, the situation in Changsha county is OK. Don't worry. Well, go and get the news out at once. "

"Yes

Deng Zhan left the prefecture and sent people to spread the news.

In the west of the city, in a wine shop.

A drinker was carrying a drink, and a middle-aged man with a big face was sitting opposite him. The drinker took a sip of the wine and immediately said in a loud voice, "in other words, Liu Bei's attack on Xiangyang was a complete failure."

The burly middle-aged man, with a puzzled expression on his face, said: "Liu Bei has surrounded Xiangyang City, and the governor of zhoumu has been sticking to it all the time. He is clearly afraid of Liu Bei. How can he be regarded as a failure?"

The drinker raised his chin and said, "you don't know. I tell you, there's a reason why Liu Jingzhou didn't fight."

The conversation between them aroused the curiosity of the people around them.

"Brother, I don't know why Liu Jingzhou didn't fight?"

Asked a thin, handsome middle-aged man.

The drinker smiles, and his eyes sweep. People around him also cast their eyes. Obviously, they are very interested in the topic he throws out.

As soon as the drinker's big sleeve flicked, he stood up and said in a loud voice: "in this war, the strategy Liu Jingzhou began to adopt is to draw money from the bottom."

"From the beginning of the war, Liu Jingzhou sent Pang Tong to Yizhou to persuade Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang to send troops."

"Now, Zhang Ren, a general under Liu Zhang's command, leads 10000 troops to Nanyang County and takes Zhuyang County, Mian County, Yin county and other places. Now, Zhang Ren has come to Xinye and completely surrounded Xinye county."

The drinker looked relaxed and said in a loud voice, "Liu Bei's old nest has fallen down. Do you think Liu Bei is a grasshopper after autumn?"

This remark caused a lot of noise.

One by one expression of surprise, a pair of incredible expression.

Liu Bei's hometown Nanyang County was captured. It's really amazing.

"Go, go, there is a notice at the gate of the city, saying that Nanyang County in the rear of Liu Bei has been broken. Xiangyang is going to win. That's great news. Let's go. "

At the door of the wine shop, a middle-aged man came shouting.

After hearing this, all the people were overjoyed. If the drinkers were to speak, there was a doubt in their hearts. Now the government issued a notice, which immediately confirmed it.

One by one, the people threw down wine money and went to the gate.

In a very short time, the news of the breaking of Nanyang County was spread in Xiangyang City.

As soon as the news came out, the people were greatly encouraged.

At the same time, the news quickly spread to Xiangyang City and Liu Bei.Liu beilian was defeated in a series of battles. It was not easy because Zhou Yu conquered Changsha County, and he was able to change his morale. But the news spread all over the army, and all the soldiers were sad and depressed.

Guan Yu was patrolling in the army and got the news for the first time.

When he got the news, Guan Yu was shocked.

Guan Yu hurried back to the big account and found Liu Bei. He told the news from the general camp once again, and then said: "brother, in order to turn the situation around, Liu Xiu has been frantically rumored to disturb the morale of the army. Elder brother, we must immediately thoroughly investigate the news, or even suppress the news, otherwise the morale of the army will be turbulent and even mutiny will occur. "

Liu Bei's expression was extremely dignified. He handed a letter to Guan Yu and said, "second brother, this is the message sent by the military division. The news of Nanyang County is true. "

In Guan Yu's heart, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Is Nanyang County really lost?

Guan Yu's hands trembled. He took the letter from Liu Bei and opened it. The handwriting on the letter is indeed Zhuge Liang's, and the content written on it is also the news that the Yizhou army has surrounded Xinye county.

All of a sudden, Guan Yu was stunned.

It's really occupied!

Nanyang County is really occupied.

Guan Yu's heart was cold. He looked at Liu Bei and said in a deep voice: "brother, what should we do now? The siege of Xinye means that it is impossible to deliver food from Xinye. Although there are still more than a month's grain in the army, the news of Xinye has spread all over the world. I'm afraid the soldiers can't hold on at all. "

Liu Bei's face is crying. The situation is too bad now.

Originally, the news of Changsha County saved the morale, but now the news spread by Liu Xiu has destroyed the confidence of the soldiers.

Xinye is surrounded. What can we do to resist it?

Liu Bei's eyes became more dignified than ever before, and he said in a deep voice: "second brother, we must deal with it immediately. Otherwise, the war will be defeated. Once the soldiers in the barracks mutiny, the situation is out of control. "

Guan Yu said: "for a while, I can't think of a solution."

With a flash in his eyes, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said, "since there is no other way, we can only take the strategy of cutting off our strength by taking the initiative."

Liu Bei is worthy of being Liu Bei and a veteran in the army. He thought of a solution.

Guan Yu asked: "how does big brother plan to break his wrist?"

Liu Bei replied, "time is pressing. I won't go into details with you. Now, more than ten thousand of your generals are assembled, and I want to speak to all the soldiers. "

"Yes

Guan Yu did not ask, turned down to execute the order.

"Dong! Dong

After the war drums were beating and the three drums were connected, all the more than 10000 soldiers in the army gathered in the barracks. But the soldiers in the army were worried and panicked.

They followed Liu Bei, but now Liu Bei lost even Xinye. This situation makes it difficult for the soldiers in the army to continue to follow Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei shows signs of decadence.

There was an uproar.

Countless soldiers whispered and talked.

Guan Yu was standing in front of the army. He listened to the constant buzzing behind him, and was annoyed. Although Liu Bei's three brothers have not made a great progress for decades, they have not fallen into such a predicament.

Is Liu Xiu really the enemy of their three brothers?

In Guan Yu's heart, there is a sense of loss.

All of a sudden, Guan Yu's eyes fell on Liu Bei. He saw Liu Bei, wearing armor and an iron helmet, striding forward. As soon as Liu Bei appeared, there was a lot of discussion, and it quieted down. Everyone's eyes fall on Liu Bei. What do you expect Liu Bei to do?
