Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

After Liu Bei decided to attack Wancheng, he immediately seized the time and asked Guan Yu to raise 6,000 soldiers and horses, leaving only 2,000 for Zhang Fei, so that he could protect the people with Chen Zhi and others.

Outside Chaoyang City, on the edge of the White River.

Liu Beizheng led Guan Yu, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, and six thousand soldiers to board the ship and head north to Wancheng.

Jingzhou has a well-developed water system and many rivers, starting from Xiangyang by boat and going north along the Baihe River, you can reach Wancheng, while Xinye and Chaoyang are on both sides of the Baihe.

At this time, it was not early, but Liu Bei planned to pass by Xinye while it was dark in order to prevent Liu Jue, who might still be in Xinye, from finding out.

In the final analysis, Liu Bei is still a little weak in his heart.

Under the urging of the commander, the soldiers quickly boarded the warship, and with the command of the order, the fleet headed north.

Liu Bei's fleet looks a little bad, there are all kinds of ships, and they look very old, others may believe it if they are water thieves.

That's it, Liu Bei saved it up little by little.

When Liu Bei fled to Jingzhou, Liu Biao gave him a city, some soldiers and horses, and asked him to be a janitor, but he did not give him a navy and a warship.

Liu Biao is not a fool, there are tens of thousands of sailors in Xiangyang City, and if Liu Bei pulls up a navy, wouldn't it increase the threat to himself?

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep peacefully?

Although the fleet looked a little shabby, Liu Bei didn't care, at this moment he was already fantasizing about a better life after Wancheng.

The fleet is simple, but Liu Bei feels that the soldiers in his hands are not weak.

These soldiers were trained by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for several years, and even though they were not as good as Cao Cao's elite soldiers, they could compete with Jiangdong soldiers.

Now there will definitely not be many defenders in Wancheng, a few thousand will reach the sky, as long as you use strategy, there is a great possibility to attack it.

Thinking that he was about to get Wancheng, Liu Bei was suddenly arrogant and lived in Xinye for several years, and finally waited for an opportunity that could allow him to soar into the sky.

As long as you take Wancheng, you can conquer Nanyang, which is a county, with more than a dozen cities and a population of more than 200,000, in Liu Bei's opinion, it is simply a big piece of fat.

Now, Liu Bei said that he had to rush ahead of Liu Jue and eat this piece of fat in his mouth.

......

Wancheng, which is the seat of Nanyang County, is only a few hundred miles away from Xuchang.

Cao Cao attacked Wancheng that year, the purpose was to erect a barrier for Xuchang.

It was precisely because of the defeat of Wancheng that Cao Cao stabilized the hearts of the people inside.

At this moment, Cao Ren led the army south, and the current defender of Wancheng was a general named Hou Xu.

Hou Xu has been following Cao Ren for ten years and is one of Cao Ren's right-hand men, so Cao Ren left him to guard Wancheng this time when he conquered Jingzhou.

Now in the entire Wancheng, there are only three thousand defenders, but Hou Xu seems to be very relaxed.

Because in Hou Xu's view, as soon as General Cao Ren's army arrived, how could Liu Biao and others in Jingzhou have a reason to flee without looking at the wind?

Hou Xu is still thinking that if he can follow General Cao Ren south this time, he will definitely be able to pick up a few credits, and it will be no problem to become an official and become a knight at that time.

Until today, his soldiers came to report that twenty miles away from Wancheng, there was a Jingzhou army, about 20,000 or 30,000, and it had landed on the bank of the Baihe River.

"Jingzhou army?" After Hou Xu heard this, his first reaction was disbelief, Cao Renzheng led a large army to conquer Jingzhou, how could the Jingzhou army come to Wancheng.

No kidding, okay!

But seeing the soldier's panicked appearance, Hou Xu chuckled in his heart, and thought: Jingzhou Liu Biao will not come to make a surprise attack for a thousand miles, but take this opportunity to attack Wancheng, right?

It's too risky, and it's undoubtedly not even going to be my hometown!

At this time, Hou Xu still didn't think in the direction of Cao Renhui's defeat, because he felt that it was impossible at all.

"Let's go, go to the city immediately!" With the help of his own soldiers, Hou Xu hurriedly put on his armor, quickly walked out of the mansion, and rode straight to the south gate of the city.

Hou Xu galloped all the way, and soon came to the south gate of the city, when he climbed to the top of the city, he could vaguely see the flags waving in the distance, and the crowds were crowded.

"No, it's really coming to attack Wancheng!" Although it was already winter, there were still a few drops of cold sweat left on Hou Xu's forehead.

The non-commissioned officer who reported just now said that the other side estimated that there were 20,000 or 30,000 people, and the art of war was cloudy: ten times the number of people surrounded them.

Wancheng now has only 3,000 soldiers and horses, which ...... How can this be held?

Hou Xu wiped his cold sweat and hurriedly asked the soldiers to close the city gate, and everyone went to the city to defend.

Although the walls of Wancheng were tall and thick, at this time, they did not give Hou Xu the slightest sense of security.

On the other side, according to Liu Jue's order, after a five-day trip, the army finally came to Wancheng.

Wen Ping was not in a hurry, and ordered the soldiers to bury the pot to cook, and after eating and drinking, only 5,000 soldiers were left to guard the ship, and he led 20,000 troops to Wancheng.

At the head of Wancheng City, Hou Xu saw that the other party had already approached the city, and the soldiers and horses were pressed in black, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Hou Xu gritted his teeth and shouted loudly at the enemy army under the city: "Who is coming?

Wen Ping had already ordered the army to set up a position, and when he heard Hou Xu's shout, he immediately sneered and replied loudly: "Listen to the guards in the city, I am Wen Ping, the general under Liu Jingsheng's account! Your general Cao Ren has been defeated by my young general in Xinye, if you know the current affairs, you should quickly open the city and surrender, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!".

"What?General Cao Ren was defeated?" Hou Xu heard Wen Ping's words, his eyes suddenly widened, his mind was buzzing, and his face was full of disbelief.

"General, don't listen to his nonsense, how could General Cao Ren be defeated, he is deceiving us!"

When Hou Xu heard this, he immediately sobered up, thinking that Lao Tzu almost believed it.

Hou Xu immediately said loudly: "Do you think that this kind of little trick can deceive me? Your Excellency should quickly withdraw from the army, otherwise, when General Cao Ren breaks through Xiangyang, you will become a lonely ghost." "

"Still dreaming!" Wen Ping sneered, and didn't bother to talk more nonsense, and immediately ordered his subordinates to surround all the four city gates.

"Listen to the guards of the city, this general will only give you one day. By this time tomorrow, if you don't open the city and surrender, my army will set foot on Wancheng, think about it yourself. "

After Wen Ping said this, he turned around and returned to the camp, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to monitor Wancheng's movements at all times.
