In the spring of 208 AD, although the arrival of Gongsun Bai brought too many changes, it also had a great impact on the situation south of the Yangtze River.
But some things are still going along the original trajectory, and Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou, is seriously ill and one of them.
The so-called taking advantage of your illness to kill you is naturally the best time.
He can't wait for Liu Biao to hang up, because history has changed, Zhuge Liang has gone out of the mountain in advance, Liu Bei's strength has been far stronger than at this time in history, and even swallowed Hanzhong County in advance, maybe at this time, if Liu Biao is critically ill and let Jingzhou give Liu Bei, Liu Bei will probably swallow it without hesitation, if Liu Bei stabilizes the situation in Jingzhou, the battle of the Southern Expedition will become extremely difficult.
Moreover, Cao Cao in history was the southern expedition in the autumn, and as a result, he encountered a series of setbacks, such as the war horse without grass in late autumn, such as the prevalence of plague, so taking advantage of the situation in Jingzhou with Liu Biao's serious illness and becoming treacherous, Jingzhou Shi clan and Liu Bei's forces intensified the battle of the southern expedition, which is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
So Gongsun Bai dispatched troops and led the people to the south.
Gongsun Bering Zhao Yun led Bai Ma Yi from 5,000 as the vanguard, Zhang Liao led the 100,000 Worry Relief Army as the first team, Xu Huang led the Xinghan Army with 70,000 as the second team, Tai Shici and Yan Liang led 25,000 cavalry as the third team to protect the Chinese army, Gao Shun led 50,000 Anji Army as the fourth team, Gan Ning led 50,000 Tengjiao Army south along the water as the fifth team, and the five routes of soldiers and horses totaled 300,000 Yan Army advanced by water, and the front of the troops was directed at Jingzhou.
At the same time, Zhang and Gao Ran still led the Taiping army to guard the southern part of Xuzhou, Zang Ba led 50,000 Anji troops to guard the southern part of Yuzhou, and the affairs of central Beijing were handed over to the three dukes, and Le Jin and Liao Hua were still responsible for the defense and public security of the Gyeonggi area.
In order to win the battle of the Southern Expedition, Gongsun Bai took Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Sima Yi with him, and he was very cautious.
Because he knows that with his own strength, it is naturally not a problem to take Jiangnan, the only thing he is afraid of is that his head is dizzy and he falls into Zhuge Liang's tricks and capsizes in the gutter, and now there are three strategists with an intelligence of 99 and one with an intelligence of 97, and the luxury Gang of Four think tank with an average intelligence of 985 is naturally not in danger of this.
The 300,000 army gathered in Wancheng, Nanyang County, and such a huge gathering of military horses naturally could not hide from the eyes and ears of the Jingzhou army.
Xinye, Liu Bei's official residence.
Sun Gan, who was in charge of gathering intelligence, worriedly reported to Liu Bei the news of the 300,000 Yan army heading south, and everyone in the house was shocked, even Guan Yu, who had always been arrogant, and Zhang Fei, who had a violent personality, were silent.
Gongsun Bai is powerful, few people know better than them.
Liu Bei's eyes showed a complicated color, and his heart was full of emotion.
"This is the Emperor of the Imperial Family, after King Jing of Zhongshan, the powerful Yellow Turban Army, and the famous Uncle Xuande of the Tiger Prison" Fifteen years ago, when I first saw Guangyang City, the enthusiastic and loud voice of the young man in white was still in my ears, and he was Uncle Xuande; Fifteen years later, the Si people were already the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom, which unified the north of the Yangtze River and had 500,000 soldiers and horses, and his fellow brother was also respected as the ancestor of the Great Yan, and the two sides had already become hostile.
After a long time, he said slowly: "The 500,000 army Gongsun Xiao'er, it's menacing, how can I stop it?"
Zhuge Liang asked: "Who are the military advisors with the army?"
Sun Gan replied: "Mr.'
s fellow disciples Pang Tong and Xu Shu, Yingchuan Guo Jia, and Hanoi Sima Yi are all military advisors who give advice to Gongsun Bai. ” Zhuge Liang's expression darkened, and he sighed slightly: "The momentum of the Gongsun thief has been achieved, if you want to stop his soldiers, it is indeed even more difficult." ” Liu Bei's expression was complicated, and he muttered, "The land of Jingzhou is weak, Sun Ce is eyeing the tiger in the east, and there is an army of Gongsun thieves in the north. ” Zhuge Liang said: "Only by taking Xichuan in the west can the lord have the strength to compete with Yan and Sun."
"Xichuan is eager to get it, but now I can't help it," Liu Bei asked.
"The lower officials have a plan, I don't know if I should say it," Zhuge Liang showed a ruthless look in his eyes.
"Sir, just come."
Liu Bei said.
Zhuge Liang glanced around, and the guards in the tent retreated with interest, in addition to him and Liu Bei, only Sun Gan, Jian Yong, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were left, and then he whispered: "The lord can take advantage of the chaos to attack Xiangyang, kill the Jingzhou scholars led by the Cai family and the Kuai family, put Liu Qi and Liu Cong under house arrest, force His Majesty to abdicate, inherit the unification, and then let Yun Chang lead the army to attack Huang Zu and seize the power of the navy army, then you can raise the power of the whole Jingzhou, and then unite with Jiangdong Sun Ce to resist the Yan thieves."
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fei had already shouted loudly: "Wonderful, wonderful, the military advisor's plan is really wonderful, Cai's incompetent and arrogant generation, Lao Tzu has long been unaccustomed to it, just one pot is served, let my brother inherit the unification, then the Han will prosper."
Although Guan Yu and the others were silent, they also looked at Liu Bei with a look of hope on their faces.
Liu Bei was stunned, and pondered for a long time before he said: "No, no, Your Majesty treats me well, how can I do such a usurpation, isn't it no different from Gongsun and a thief, so why can the scholars and people of Jingzhou be convinced?"
Zhuge Liang sighed slightly and said: "In this case, the minister has a plan to frustrate the thief army and make the Gongsun thief lose his troops and generals, but the Gongsun thief army is huge, at most it can only make it hurt its muscles and bones, but it is even more difficult to move its foundation." ” Liu Bei perked up and said urgently: "It's not bad to hurt his muscles and bones, and please ask the military advisor to come quickly." ” Zhuge Liang's expression was solemn: "In this case, please also ask the lord to raise the tent to gather the generals" After a while, in the martial arts field of the West Camp School in Xinye City, Liu Bei originally had fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses, which was naturally too powerful compared to this time in history, but Chen Zhi divided a 20,000-strong army and horses to guard Hanzhong, and now there are only 30,000 people.
Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei boarded the platform and began to give orders and dispatch troops.
Zhuge Liang carried Liu Bei's sword and shouted loudly: "Where is Gongyou?"
Sun Gan hurriedly said: "The last general" "Xinye City is small, and Gongsun thieves are good at attacking cities, Xinye can't hold it, so it's better to retreat to Fancheng.
You can send people to post a list in four gates, and tell the people: The Yan army is cruel and unkind, killing people like hemp, and the people in the city do not ask about the old and the young, men and women, and those who are willing to obey will go to Fancheng with the army today to take refuge, and they must not make mistakes. ” "Oh" Sun Gan was ordered to leave.
"Where is Xian and Jian Yong?"
"To" "You led an army of eight thousand, divided into four teams, and led one team to lie down outside the east gate, and the third team was divided into the west, south, and north gates, but before the houses of the people in the city, there were many things that were ignited by sulfur flames and nitrate.
When the Yan army enters the city, it will rest in peace.
After twilight of the coming day, there will be a strong wind; But when the wind rose, he ordered the ambush army from the west, south, and north to shoot rockets into the city; When the fire broke out in the city, he shouted and cheered outside the city, leaving only the east gate to let him escape. but thou shalt strike it from behind outside the east gate.
Tianming rendezvous, General Zhang Er, collected the army and returned to Fancheng. ” "Obedience" Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Liang gave orders to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei one after another.
"Please Yun Chang led 10,000 soldiers and horses, brought more cloth bags, filled with soil and stones, and filled the river water in the upper reaches of the White River.
"Whoa" At this time, Zhuge Liang had established a strong prestige in Liu Bei's army, and even Guan Yu put away his arrogant look and obeyed the order.
"Please lead 7,000 soldiers and horses to Boling Ferry to ambush, the enemy is on fire in the city, and flooded, must retreat to Bolingdu, you can first shoot it with a strong bow and crossbow, take advantage of the thief's chaos, and then lead the crowd to cover and kill it" "Compliance" Seeing that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had both received their orders, Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered Liu Feng and Mi Zhu to lead the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses to live in front of the Quewei Slope thirty miles south of Xinye City, and planted flags to confuse the Yan army, so that they thought there were ambushes and did not dare to pursue.
Once you see the fire in Wangcheng, you can turn back and chase the defeated soldiers, and then come to the upper reaches of the Baihe River to meet Guan Yu and others.
The deployment of troops has been completed, Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Liu Bei: "God is fortunate to help the lord, Guo, Pang, Xu, Sima and other four people are in the middle of the road with the grandson thief, the former army Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, although quite strategic, the mind is not as good as the four people, it is inevitable to be in the plan, and please also ask the lord and Liang to climb high and wait for the good news to come" At noon, twenty miles north of Xinye City, Menghu Slope.
At the intersection of heaven and earth, there was a rumbling thunder, which startled the woodcutter on the Menghu slope and couldn't help but look up to the north.
Immediately after that, under the blue sky, there was a silver-white wave, the wave surged wider and wider, and gradually you can see thousands of troops and horses galloping, it is all snow-white war horses, and the soldiers on horseback are all white robes and silver armor, and there is a dreamlike silver-white between heaven and earth.

Only the pole embroidered flag embellished with the silver white, in the middle of the hunting flying a fiery red "Yan" word flag, next to the erection of "Zhao", "Wen" two flags, under the banner Zhao Yun and Wen Chou side by side, looking ahead.
"General Zhao, twenty miles ahead is Xinye City," someone on the side reminded.
"Stop" Zhao Yun waved his hand, and the rolling iron flow behind him slowly stopped.
Immediately afterward, more than a dozen elite scouts galloped out on horseback, heading straight for Xinye City.
Half an hour later, there was an urgent report from the horse behind him, Zhang Liao's worry-relieving army had arrived ten miles away, and Zhao Yun's face showed a slight look of anxiety.
At this moment, the scouts finally appeared on the horizon, like arrows.
"General Qiyu, the city of Xinye has indeed become an empty city, the people have been evacuated, and the whole city is empty."
A trace of disgust appeared on Zhao Yun's face, and he secretly scolded: "Damn Liu Bei's big-eared thief, he must be slandering my Da Yan benevolent and righteous teacher among the people, the Da Yan army and horses are strictly disciplined, and they have no offense against the people, why do you coerce the people and run away, the food of the Great Yan Kingdom can't be eaten, only His Majesty has always helped the people, and there is no precedent for the Great Yan army and horses to plunder the people, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are really ridiculous."
"General Qiyu, in the White River, the flow has really been cut off, and there are still fish and shrimp jumping, it must have just been cut off."
When Zhao Yun heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Zhuge Liang Xiaoer, the small skills of carving insects have already been recognized by His Majesty, and it is in vain, hahaha" to be continued
