Soldiers come to the world

The middle-aged man is Jia Xu. He has dark skin and a thin face. He has a skinny hooked nose, a tuft of goatee whiskers under his jaw, and slender eyes. His eyelids cover half of his pupils. He always smiles involuntarily. Showing a hint of insidiousness.

It was not long before Jia Xu surrendered to Cao Cao, only a little over two years, but he became famous early and was reused by Dong Zhuo and Li Cui successively.

After surrendering to Cao Cao, Jia Xu took up the position of Jinwu, the capital of Tinghou. It should be said that compared with Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and others, he was not reused. There is a direct relationship. Cao Cao only uses himself because of his reputation. In the dead of night, how can Cao Cao not hate himself in his heart?

This time Xiahoudun attacked Xinye Liu Bei. Cao Cao sent Jia Xu to assist Xiahoudun considering that Jia Xu was familiar with the Nanyang area, but he came a step late, just in time for Yu Jin's defeat.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. General Xiahou need not blame himself."

Jia Xu felt Xiahou Dun's remorse and annoyance, so he comforted him with a smile: "At present, we still have [-] troops, and even cavalry. We have the upper hand. As long as we fight the battle well, we can also save the situation."

Jia Xu's reassurance made Xia Houdun quite gratified. Thinking about it, he could only take a long-term view. He sighed, "It all depends on the sir."

Jia Xu nodded, "The situation of the enemy army is unknown now, so don't act rashly. The general can send more scouts to find out the situation of Liu Bei and the Jingzhou army. Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you send troops."

"Sir is right!"

Xiahou Dun immediately sent hundreds of scouts to investigate the situation separately, and hundreds of scouts galloped along the forest road to the south.

At this time, a soldier stepped forward and reported: "I have reported to the governor, General Yu said that I have important information."

Xiahou Dun walked quickly to Yu Jin, who was lying on a stretcher. A military doctor was treating his arrow wound. Seeing Xiahou Dun approaching, Yu Jin sighed and said, "When I was ambushed just now, I met Liu Jing."

Xiahou Dun was startled, but didn't realize it for a while, who is Liu Jing?

Later, Jia Xu asked in surprise, "Is that Liu Biao's nephew, Liu Jing who even teased the Prime Minister during the Runan Battle?"

Yu Jin nodded, "It's this person, he seems to be leading the Jingzhou Army, about a thousand people."

Xiahoudun finally understood, "Could it be that this person led the Jingzhou food security army that defeated us last night?"

"It should be him. I haven't seen him for more than half a year. His martial arts progressed rapidly, which is unimaginable. I wanted to take the opportunity to kill him, but it was a pity that I met Zhao Yun and my success fell short."

Yu Jin sighed infinitely in his tone, feeling very depressed in his heart, he failed to kill Liu Jing this time, this person will become a nightmare in his life, and he will never get rid of it for the rest of his life.

Liu Jing's appearance was unexpected. Xia Houdun seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't see it clearly. He turned his head and looked at Jia Xu, who was silent in thought.

"Sir, there seems to be something to do here." Xiahou Dun asked tentatively.

Jia Xu smiled, "We can go out of the forest road first, and the army is stationed, and then we can think about countermeasures."

Xiahou Dun nodded, and immediately ordered: "Accelerate the front army, leave the forest road to garrison troops!"

The Cao army of the brigade accelerated and marched southward in a mighty manner. .

In the team, Xiahou Dun thought for a long time, the news that Liu Jing was in Liu Bei's army always made him anxious, so he slowed down his horse and drove alongside Jia Xu.

"Sir, don't you think this person can be used? He is Liu Biao's nephew." Xiahou Dun said in a low voice.

Jia Xu stroked the goat's whiskers lightly and said with a smile: "Of course he is very important. The key to this battle is on him. I suggest that the general send people to keep an eye on him."

Jia Xu whispered a few words to Xiahou Dun, which was exactly what Xiahou Dun wanted, and he said happily, "It's just like what you said!"

He immediately dispatched three hundred of the most elite scouts to investigate Liu Jing's movement with all his strength.

. .

Liu Bei's army quickly cleared the battlefield and escorted thousands of prisoners of war back to Xinye County. Xinye County is a large county with a population of more than [-] households. In just a few years, the population exceeded [-] households with more than [-] people.

However, Xinye County is quite large, with a circumference of nearly [-] miles and a height of three feet. It is solid and generous, which is good for defense. This is also affected by the Battle of Wancheng. Liu Biao specially sent people to heighten and strengthen the city wall.

Liu Bei was in Xinye County at this time. He burned down the Bowangpo barracks, then withdrew southward quickly, and returned to the county seat first.

But Liu Bei had no plans to withdraw his troops to Xiangyang. On the one hand, Liu Biao sent reinforcements, hoping that he would resist Cao's army and disapproving of his southward retreat.

On the other hand, it is also because Xiahou Dun has [-] elite cavalry. If he retreats south, he will inevitably be chased by the cavalry, and the entire army may be wiped out. Liu Bei has to consider this risk.

In the military yamen, Liu Bei paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and walked to the table from time to time to look at a map of Nanyang County. This time, Liu Bei made a lot of preparations for Cao Jun's southward march, including dispatching elite workers to infiltrate the counties of Nanyang County. Just got an unexpected piece of information.

Xiahoudun's food and grass logistics center is not in Wancheng, but in Ye County in the northeast corner of Nanyang County. Ye County is not far from Yingchuan County. It is an extremely important transportation hub, which is convenient for the transit and transportation of food and grass. Transported to Wancheng.

This is an opportunity!Liu Bei found a way to completely defeat Xiahou Dun, but the problem now is that Xiahou Dun's army blocked the road to the north, preventing him from sending troops north, so he must find a way to transfer Xiahou Dun's army away.

Liu Bei pondered for a long time, but couldn't think of a good plan for a moment. At this time, a soldier outside the door reported, "To General Zuo, Jingzhou Shepherd sent an urgent message, and General Wen's messenger came at the same time."

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Not far from the county government office, there is a school field covering an area of ​​more than [-] mu. It used to be the training place for the army, but now it is temporarily the place where the Jingzhou army is stationed. Dozens of tents were pitched in the open space to the south of the school field. The Jingzhou Army was stationed here.

In the corner of the school field, Deng Wuzheng is teaching his son Deng Ai to ride a horse. Deng Ai is about seven or eight years old. .

Deng Wu loves this son very much, and he has decided to take his son to Xiangyang after this battle is over, and find a way to send him to Lumen Academy to study.

"Uncle Jing, this horse is too strong, I can't hold it with my legs."

Deng Ai rode on Liu Jing's war horse, and his Luma was extremely strong. He didn't seem to like the boy on his back very much, and he seemed a little irritable. The horse's hoof hit the ground and made a rattling sound. Far from enough to control the horse, he shouted anxiously.

Liu Jing smiled and stepped forward, stroked the horse's face lightly, whispered a few words to him, the slightly irritable war horse calmed down again, and walked forward slowly with Deng Ai on its back.

Deng Ai was surprised and delighted, "Uncle Jing, can your horse communicate with people?"

Liu Jing said helplessly: "First, it can't understand human words. It only knows that I am comforting it. Second, don't call me Uncle Jing anymore, just call me Big Brother Jing."

Deng Ai stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "It was Daddy who asked me to call you Uncle Jing. If you don't like it, you can discuss it with my dad. I dare not disobey his old man's order."

After finishing speaking, he sneaked another glance at his father, and Deng Wu said angrily: "Stinky boy, what is an old man? Am I so old?"

Everyone laughed, at this moment, someone shouted: "Uncle Liu Huang is here."

Liu Jing turned around and saw Liu Bei hurriedly walking towards this side under the guard of more than a dozen entourages. Liu Jing hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "My nephew sees the emperor's uncle!"

At this time, a messenger soldier from Wenpin knelt down on one knee and handed over a command arrow, "Marshal Wen has an order to return the Jingzhou army to the camp immediately without delay!"

Liu Jing took the command arrow slowly, feeling a little dazed in his heart, how could he suddenly be ordered to go back, what happened?He looked towards Liu Bei.

Liu Bei sighed, and handed a letter to Liu Jing, "Not only the military order, but your uncle also sent a letter asking you to return to Jingzhou immediately, it seems that he fell ill."

Liu Jing was startled, took the letter and read it again, it was written by Liu Qi, and the letter was addressed to Liu Bei, asking him to arrange for Liu Jing to return to Jingzhou immediately because Liu Biao fell ill.

At the end of the letter, Liu Qi wrote a sentence to Liu Jing: "Father is seriously ill, and I miss Jing's brother very much. I hope that filial piety comes first, and I will return to Xiangyang as soon as possible." '

"The battle was raging, but Jing Sheng fell ill unfortunately. It was Jingzhou's misfortune."

Liu Bei let out a long sigh, and said to Liu Jing: "Filial piety is the most important thing. Before Cao's army has besieged the city, you set off immediately, and I will make arrangements for you."

Liu Bei left in a hurry, Deng Wu stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Could it be that Zhou Mu was worried that you would be in danger, so he asked you to leave Xinye."

Liu Jing thought to himself, "I left the Jingzhou army camp last night, and it's only afternoon, and the messenger soldiers must use the fastest speed. Judging from this eagerness, it shouldn't be taboo to be with Liu Bei, it can only be He was worried that he would be in danger and affect the overall situation of Jingzhou. After all, he was his nephew, so he couldn't stand by and do nothing to fight Cao Jun's accident. '

In fact, Liu Jing didn't want to leave, he hesitated in his heart, Deng Wu saw his thoughts, and smiled wryly: "Wen Shuai's military order is like a mountain, we can't disobey, and it seems that Uncle Liu Huang doesn't want us to stay."

In fact, Liu Bei was already driving him away.

One of Liu Bei's personal soldiers hurried over and saluted, "The captured military supplies are all ready, and it is inconvenient for the prisoners to go on the road. My lord said that they will be sent to Xiangyang in the future. It is getting late. Please, son, lead the army on the road as soon as possible."

Liu Jing pondered and remained silent. He still felt that there was something strange about it. It was impossible for his uncle to be sick and let him go back. What was hidden in it?

Deng Wu smiled wryly, and said to Liu Jing: "Since the master has issued an order to expel the guests, let the brothers clean up. Before Cao Jun arrives, let's leave quickly!"

At this moment, a thought suddenly came to Liu Jing's mind. Could it be that Liu Biao wanted to use Cao Jun's hand to kill Liu Bei, and since he was in Xinye, Wenpin had to come to help, which affected Liu Biao's plan.

That's why I didn't hesitate to use filial piety to pressure myself and force myself to leave.

Liu Jing faintly felt that he was close to the truth. Why did the Wenpin army garrison thirty miles away and refused to come to Xinye? Why did Liu Biao not allow Liu Bei to retreat south?

Aren't there signs that Liu Biao is killing people with a knife?Liu Biao knew very well that Cao Cao would not attack Jingzhou at this time.

In fact, Liu Biao didn't need to send reinforcements at all. He sent reinforcements with only one intention, to prevent Liu Biao from retreating south.

As for the fact that he came here to pay for the food, it was entirely because Wenpin didn't understand Liu Biao's true intentions, that's why Liu Biao was so eager to force him to leave.

So with Liu Bei's scheming, would he fail to see Liu Biao's intentions?He should have stayed by himself.

That being the case, why is Liu Bei eager to urge himself to leave, and what kind of wishful thinking is he planning?

But there was no time for Liu Jing to continue to think about it, so he quickly stopped Deng Wu, "Wait a minute!"

"My lord, what happened?" Deng Wu saw Liu Jing's worry and asked with concern.

"I'm worried that we will be ambushed by Cao Jun." Liu Jing said worriedly.

Deng Wu was stunned, "No way! Cao Jun hasn't come yet, how could it be?"

"Just a gut feeling."

Liu Jing sighed in his heart. His intuition came from Yu Jin. Yu Jin recognized him on the battlefield. Will they take the opportunity to deal with him?

"You leave Xinye, I will go back alone."

Deng Wu looked embarrassed, "But the military order is like a mountain, and you don't know Shuai Wen's temper. If you disobey the military order, you will be beheaded."

Liu Jing bit her lip, "I'll go and explain the situation to Shuai Wen. In short, the brothers must stay."

"But what if the son is intercepted by Cao Jun?"

Liu Jing pondered for a while, and said: "There is a solution. I will take a hundred cavalry to leave. This speed is so fast. Even if Cao Jun finds out that I am leaving, it will be too late to intercept it. At most half an hour, I can rush back to the camp."

Deng Wu thought for a long time but couldn't do anything, so he had to do this.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Jing led a hundred Jingzhou cavalry, left Xinye County under the setting sun, and ran southward at high speed.

Just as Liu Jing led his army out, more than a dozen Cao Jun spies immediately galloped north.

Liu Bei stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back, watching Liu Jing's cavalry go away, he sneered and said to himself, "Liu Jingsheng, do you think I, Liu Bei, am a fool?"
