~9 min read 1,778 words

Everyone was surprised by the sudden appearance of the military horse.

The first young general, with a face like a crown jade and a majestic weapon, is none other than Liu Bei's adopted son - Liu Feng.

It turned out that Liu Feng followed Zhuge Liang's orders and went to Jiangxia to borrow 10,000 troops and horses to find out Liu Bei's retreat, so he specially cut off this road to meet Liu Bei.

When Cao Jun saw so many troops and horses suddenly appearing, they thought it was an ambush and stopped moving forward, fearing that they would be trapped.

Liu Feng was also a smart man. When he saw Cao Jun staggering forward, he knew that Cao Jun was suspicious, so he calmly shouted loudly: "Thief Cao, I have been waiting here for a long time."

In fact, Liu Feng had just arrived, it was just a coincidence.

He didn't bring many people, so he couldn't defeat Cao Jun, so he could only bluff to scare off Cao Jun.

Sure enough, when he heard what Liu Feng said, Cao Cao was also startled and doubtful. He reined in his horse and asked, "Is this Zhuge's plan again?"

The generals were not sure if it was a trap.

As for Chen Hang, he can't remember clearly the process of Liu Bei's escape, so it's difficult to speak.

If Cao Cao brings an army of 500,000, there is no need to be afraid of tricks.

In the face of absolute power, any trick can be crushed.

But because of the urgent pursuit of Liu Bei, Cao Cao brought mostlycavalry, and the number was not very large, so he was a little afraid of falling into the trap.

After careful consideration, Cao Cao still felt that his life was important and not worth the risk, so he ordered his troops to withdraw.

Because of this, Liu Bei escaped disaster.

Seeing that Liu Feng had scared off Cao Cao and feared that Cao Cao would become suspicious, he sent a large army to pursue him for several miles in a symbolic manner, and then rushed back to Hanjin to join Liu Bei.

Seeing Liu Feng, Liu Bei was moved and said: "If Feng'er hadn't arrived in time, I would have died."

"This child must fulfill his responsibilities."

Liu Feng settled Liu Bei, and when he saw that only Mrs. Gan, Zhang Fei, Mi Fang and others were left beside Liu Bei, he couldn't help asking about the whereabouts of the others.

When asked by Liu Feng, Liu Bei almost cried. This time, the loss was too serious.

Guan Yu could not help but be captured, and Zhao Yun was nowhere to be seen. It must have been an accident. Even his wife, Mrs. Mi, and his only son were separated.

I don't know, are they dead or alive?

Liu Bei then told the story of the battle at Dangyang.

Liu Feng felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. After all, from the moment he worshiped Liu Bei as his father, not only his future, but also his wealth and life were completely tied to Liu Bei.

Everyone was discussing what to do next when they suddenly heard the sound of drums on the bank of the south of the Yangtze River. They were startled and started to check.

I saw as many large and small boats as ants on the river, sailing in the wind.

Liu Bei was also frightened because it was Cao Bing who was ambushing him.

Just as he was about to escape, he saw a man in the first boat, wearing a white robe and silver armor, standing on the bow of the boat, calling loudly: "Uncle, you are safe. My nephew is late, please forgive me!"

When Liu Bei saw that the visitor was Liu Biao's eldest son "Liu Qi", he was overjoyed and hurriedly went to greet him.

When Liu Qi got off the boat, he said: "I heard that my uncle was besieged by Cao thieves, and my nephew was very anxious, so he came to rescue him!"

Hearing Liu Qi's words, Liu Bei couldn't hide the joy on his face. He felt that his fortune had turned around and his fate should not be cut off. His ambition to dominate the world had also regained some of his ambition.

The two of them exchanged polite greetings and joined forces. They shared old feelings on the river.

After chatting for a while, a scout suddenly came to report that a large number of ships appeared on the river ahead to intercept them.

Both Liu Qi and Liu Bei's expressions changed, and they looked at each other. Liu Qi said in surprise, "My nephew has already mobilized all Jiangxia soldiers and horses. Who will appear on the river at this time?"

The two people walked out of the cabin and saw a fleet of boats on the opposite side. One person was wearing a turban and a Taoist uniform, sitting on the bow. It was Zhuge Liang, followed by Sun Qian behind him.

Seeing Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei was so surprised that he quickly asked Zhuge Liang to take a seat.

"Why is Kong Ming here?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Liang is heading to Jiangxia, and has ordered Young Master Feng to meet him at the landing site of Hanjin. I expect that Cao Cao will come to pursue him, and my lord will not leave from Jiangling. Apart from Jiangling, my lord can only go through Hanjin. Therefore, I specially asked Mr. Liu to come to meet him first. I will go to Xiakou and gather all my troops to help."

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and at the same time he was shocked by Zhuge Liang's clever plan.

The two armies reunited again. At this moment, Liu Bei's troops numbered more than 20,000, which made Liu Bei regain his ambition.

Cao Cao was right. People like Liu Bei can always come back unless they are killed at once.

Zhuge Liang then suggested to Liu Bei: "Xiakou City is located in a dangerous terrain and has a lot of money and food. It can be defended for a long time. My lord, please come and live in Xiakou."

Zi returned to Jiangxia, reorganized the warships, packed up the weapons, and became a cornerstone with the lord, so that he could resist Cao Cao. "

"If we live together in the same city of Jiangxia, our forces will become lonely, which is not advisable."

Zhuge Liang's suggestion was recognized by everyone.

Liu Qi said: "The military advisor's words are very good, but I would like to ask my uncle to go to Jiangxia first for the time being.After the troops and horses were ready, they returned to Xiakou.

Late. "

Liu Bei thought about it and nodded in agreement: "What my nephew said makes sense! "

So Zhang Fei and Liu Feng were left behind to lead five thousand troops to guard Xiakou, while Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Liu Qi went to Jiangxia.

……

But it was said that after Cao Cao was scared off by Liu Feng's bluff, he was afraid that Liu Bei would seize Jiangling by water.

Jiangling City has a lot of money and food. It is an important place in Jingzhou and must not be taken away by Liu Bei.

Cao Cao then ordered his army to rush on the starry night to seize Jiangling before Liu Bei.

As for Jiangling officials, they had long been intimidated by Cao Cao's reputation. When they heard that Cao Cao was coming with a large army, they surrendered without thinking.

Cao Cao obtained Jiangling City without any effort.

Of course, after Cao Cao entered the city, in order to avoid changes, he greatly appeased all the former Jiangling officials, appointed officials and rewards, and bought people's hearts.

Among them, Chen Hang was awarded a reward by Cao Cao for capturing Zhao Zilong alive and defeating Zhang Fei's suspicious tactics. He was also given the title of Captain of Ding'an and commanded the Su Wei (Dian Wei's official position during his lifetime was considered to be a personal bodyguard).

After everything was settled, Cao Cao summoned his advisers and generals to discuss strategies to deal with Liu Bei.

"According to the scouting report, Liu Bei has defected to Jiangxia. I am afraid that in the next step, he will unite with Soochow. What plan should be used to defeat it? "

Everyone was silent for a while, all deep in thought.

Xun You suddenly said: "My lord, now that our army has become more powerful, it is better to send envoys to the east of the Yangtze River and ask Sun Quan to hunt in Jiangxia, capture Liu Bei together, divide the land of Jingzhou, and form a permanent alliance. Sun Quan will be frightened and doubtful, and may not surrender to the lord, but he does not dare to collude with Liu Bei. Liu Bei's army is left alone, and it is not worth worrying about. "

Chen Hang, standing next to Cao Cao (bodyguard).

When I heard Xun You's plan, I had to admire the minds of these counselors.

Cao Cao also felt that Xun You's plan was good, so he followed it and sent envoys to Soochow to recruit Sun Quan.

A total of 830,000 troops were ordered on horseback and on foot, falsely claiming to be one million. They advanced by land and water, with boats and cavalry traveling in pairs. They came along the river, connecting Jingxia and Xia to the west and Qi, Huang and Saizha to the east for more than 300 miles.

With such great military power, even Sun Quan would not dare to go against him.

But Cao Cao didn't know that his wishful thinking would be shattered by Zhuge Liang's verbal battle with the Confucian scholars...

After the discussion was completed, all the generals went to rest, and Cao Cao also took a rest.

Chen Hang stood outside Cao Cao's camp, frowning and thinking.

Next, Zhuge Liang should go to Jiangdong, fight with the Confucian scholars, and persuade Sun Quan, right?

If Sun Quan is persuaded, then the alliance between Sun and Liu has been successfully concluded as history has done.

Chen Hang couldn't help but feel anxious.

He has not forgotten that his main task is to destroy the alliance...

This chapter is too much. I don't want to shorten the word count, so I try to write it in abbreviated form, but if I don't write it, the whole text will not be coherent...
