Chapter 291

It is not others who stand up. It is Kuai Yue, a famous scholar in Jingzhou, who Cao Cao called "I don't like Jingzhou, but I like different degrees". In Jingzhou, Kuai's family is as famous as CAI and Huang. Among them, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are profound and reticent, and now they live in Jingzhou. Kuai Yue is resourceful and eloquent.

Kuai Yue said: "the Han Dynasty is owned by the Liu family. Jingzhou is a government official. It should have been called Zhou mu for a long time. Now that it is given by the emperor, why should we not let it go?"

Liu Biao had some misgivings and said, "if Dong Xie is in charge of the government, what will people in the world think of him if he is appointed by the court?"

"Don't be alarmed." Kuai Liang, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said.

Liu Biao said with a smile, "Oh? What can zirou teach me? "

Kuai Liang bowed his hand and said, "in today's world, King Hongnong and King Chen Liu stand side by side in the East and the West. The princes in the world don't know what orthodoxy is. They don't know whether to blame Liu Ye or Dong Zhuo. How can they involve the public

Liu Biao nodded: "this is also true."

Kuai yuelang said: "since the Lord is willing to accept the appointment of the herdsman of Jingzhou, the key thing at present is to recover the whole territory of Jingzhou. The Yellow turban rebellion has caused a large number of refugees and scholars to pour into Jingzhou. As long as you make good use of it, it can be the foundation of king and overlord."

Liu Biao nodded: "well, in this case, I order Huang Zu to be the commander of Dang Kou. When he leaves Jiangxia, Cai Mao is the prefect of Nanjun, waiting for the opportunity to attack Nanyang County."

Nanyang County, Wancheng.

"General Xu! Do we really want to hand over the bloody city to the enemy? How can this work? "

Zhang Xiu rises with anger on her face. Obviously, she can't understand Dong Zhuo's military orders.

Xu Rong had no choice but to explain: "Zhang Xiaowei, this is the order of the prime minister and the military division to give up Nanyang, which made Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong and Yuan Shu of Yingchuan compete for supremacy."

"What about our army?" Wang Fang did not understand.

"Our army withdrew from Nanyang and retreated to Wuguan. Liu Ye drives the Liangzhou soldiers to attack Tongguan, and the prime minister orders our army to return to the army to guard against Liu Ye's attack on Luoyang. " Xu Rong said slowly.

When Zhang Xiu heard this, a trace of humiliation flashed in her eyes and said, "good! It's better for our army to fight a hard battle with Liu Ye and let him retreat in the face of difficulties! "

In the battle of Chang'an, Zhang Xiu, known as the king of guns in the north, was picked by Liu Ye three guns under his horse, which became a disgrace that Zhang Xiu almost remembered all his life.

Seeing that there was no objection from the generals, Xu Rong immediately said in a deep voice: "the whole army obeys orders! Withdraw from Nanyang and go back to Wuguan. They will immediately go down to carry out military orders. "

Zhang Xiu and others held hands together: "here

Xu Rong was just a humble captain in Dong Zhuo's army. Although military adviser Li Ru recommended him with all his might, some people in Dong Zhuo's army would not accept it.

However, through the two wars in Nanyang, Xu Rong proved his military talent as talented as flowing water. He destroyed a total of 60000 Nanyang troops and Changsha soldiers and established his unshakable dignity.

Therefore, as soon as Xu Rong's military order was issued, the generals immediately and respectfully accepted it, and then they went down to prepare.

On that day, a total of 30000 Liangzhou troops withdrew from Nanyang County and slowly retreated to Wuguan.

The nearest to Nanyang is naturally Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's united army, who are recuperating in Yingchuan county. After hearing the news of Xu Rong's withdrawal at first, they could not believe it.

After all, Sun Jian was an expert in art and courageous. Therefore, he suggested that Yuan Shu send some troops to explore whether Xu Rong was really retreating or using some conspiracy.

Sun Jian sent General Huang Gai to Wancheng in person. When the scouts arrived at Wancheng, they found that the city gates were open on all sides of the city. They turned around outside and didn't dare to go in. He told Huang Gai.

Huang Gai ordered his scouts to dress up as ordinary people and enter the city easily without any obstacles. Huang Gai asked the residents of the city why Xu Rong withdrew without any reason.

"Who knows? This group of Liangzhou soldiers did not know what was going on, and they left for no reason. "

Huang Gai did not dare to be careless. On the one hand, he flew to Yingchuan, and on the other hand, he sent people to investigate the direction of Wuguan. He finally determined that Xu Rong had indeed withdrawn his troops and led 30000 troops from Wancheng to Wuguan.

Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard that he immediately took Sun Jian as the vanguard and sent 20000 troops to drive Nanyang directly (about 10000 of them were the soldiers of Nanyang and Changsha who were collected after Xu Rong defeated him, and the rest were obtained from the strong men in Yingchuan).

Sure enough, the army drove all the way and easily recovered Wancheng. At this time, Yuan Shu also got the reason for Xu Rong's withdrawal.

Wancheng, Council hall.

"My Lord, great joy!"

Master Yan Xiang walked into the hall with a smile on his face and immediately congratulated Yuan Shu.

Seeing Yan Xiang with a smile on his face, Yuan Shu said, "master Yan, what's the good news?"

Yan Xiang said with a smile: "the Lord is not curious why Xu Rong withdrew?"

Yuan Shu nodded. Up to now, he was still worried about the battle of Wancheng. Xu Rong's military use was unique. He easily destroyed the 50000 Nanyang army. If Sun Jian hadn't come to rescue in time, Yuan Shu would have been Xu Rong's prisoner."Why did Xu Rong withdraw? Is it difficult for Dong Zhuo to explain something else? "

Yan Xiang said with a smile: "it was Liu Ye, a general who fought for the west, who built a plank road to cross the Chencang secretly. He made a banner in Hexi county. Actually, he personally appeared in Tongguan. Liangzhou soldiers attacked each other before and after, and took Tongguan with all his might. The front of the soldiers pointed directly at Wuguan and Hangu pass. Therefore, the old thief Dong Zhuo recalled Xu Rong."

Yuan Shu clapped his hands and laughed: "good, good. Xu Rong and Liu Ye are in the same boat. If they fight, they are afraid that both sides will be hurt. Won't our army gain profits?"

Yan Xiang's face was slightly embarrassed, but he said in his heart: the general of the western expedition led the king's division to fight against Dong thief. You should be happy, Lord. How could you still lose both?

Yan Xiang originally wanted to export. He suggested that Yuan Shu should send troops to Wuyang to coerce Tongguan, and join Liu Ye in attacking Luoyang to save the son of heaven. Hearing this, he was afraid to speak.

At this time, Ji Ling's heavy footsteps began to sound and walked into the hall.

Yuan Shu saw Ji Ling with a gloomy face and immediately said, "Ji Ling, what's the matter?"

Ji Lingning said: "my Lord, just got the information from the army, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou, with CAI Mao as the main general, sent 12000 troops from Deng county. The front of the soldiers pointed to Xinye, and soon will enter Wancheng."

As a result, the barrier between Jingzhou and wanyang was lost, which was the second barrier between Jingzhou and wanyang.

"Liu Biao Lizi, an dares to deceive me!" Yuan Shu was furious
