In the evening, Xu Rong's henchmen quietly entered the Wancheng Governor's Mansion and sent Xu Rong's secret information.
Yue Fei quickly opened and browsed, Xu Rong said in the letter that Yang Xuangan learned that Wancheng's men and horses were attacking Jingzhou on a large scale, and Chang'an had led 20,000 cavalry to march to Wuguan in a hurry, and it was expected that he would be able to enter Nanyang tomorrow evening or late at night, and he needed to take precautions in advance.
"Sure enough, as you and I expected, as long as we move troops to Xiangyang, Yang Xuangan will send troops to restrain him" Yue Fei glanced at Liu Ye after reading the letter and said.
Liu Ye took the letter from Yue Fei's hand, scanned it quickly, frowned, and said: "Xiangyang has a strong army, the city wall is high and thick, the first in the world, and Huang Zhong has the courage to be brave, even if my 100,000 army pours out, I am afraid that it will not be easy to go down to Xiangyang, this time Xinye, the northern gateway to Xiangyang, has achieved the strategic goal, and in Ye's opinion, he will temporarily focus on defending it, and wait for His Majesty to pacify Qing and Xu, and then concentrate the army to besiege Xiangyang."
Yue Fei agreed: "There are already nearly 30,000 defenders in Wuguan, plus Yang Xuangan's 20,000 Xiliang cavalry, it is indeed not to be underestimated to pass on my order, leaving Gao Changgong, Dong Xi, and Huo Jun to lead 30,000 people to guard Xinye, and the others withdraw to Wancheng to standby."
"Wait" Liu Ye first stopped the heralds, and then said to Yue Fei: "When you enter Debao Mountain, how can you return empty-handed to Xinye, there is no gateway to Xiangyang, and I can come and go freely in the thousands of miles of fertile fields outside Xiangyang City, but I can order the generals to harvest the crops in the field of Xiangyang overnight and weaken the grain and grass supply of the Jingzhou army."
"Zi Yang's words are very good," Yue Fei agreed.
The herald took the command and left, and Yue Fei rewarded Xu Rong's envoy and ordered him to secretly return to Wuguan and continue to travel back and forth between the two places to transmit information.
It was only more than a hundred miles from Wancheng to Xinye, and it took an hour and a half to arrive quickly, and the generals got Yue Fei's military order and immediately set out overnight to start harvesting crops on a large scale in Xiangyang.
Although it is only July now, there is still a month before the crops are ripe, but harvesting a bucket will cause Liu Biaojun to lose a bucket of grain, so 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers, whether raw or cooked, all wielded sickles or even war knives to harvest vigorously.
At the end of the harvest, all the carriages were almost full, and Gao Changgong ordered: "Put fire on me to burn him in the field of Xiangyang."
After a short period of effort, a raging fire began to burn in the wilderness of Xiangyang, and the fire became even more raging due to the sudden rise of the wind and the help of the fire.
Not only did it burn the crops in the fields, but it also burned the trees all over the mountains and fields to a pitch black and lifeless place.
Liu Biao got information in the city, scolded angrily, and ordered the three generals Wenpin, Huang Zhong, and Wang Wei to lead their troops to attack, but they were blocked by the fires all over the mountains, and they could only watch the Han army harvest the grain and leave.
In order to prevent the fire from spreading to Xiangyang, Wen Ping hurriedly ordered his soldiers to cut down trees, clean up firewood, grass and flammable materials on the ground before the fire burned, and finally controlled the fire at a distance of 30 miles north of Xiangyang.
However, the area of destruction is at least fifty or sixty miles, and all the crops and trees in the distance from Xinye to Xiangyang are burned, which will cause at least hundreds of thousands of stone of grain to be lost in the Xiangyang area.
After the Han army retreated, the soldiers divided into two routes, Yang Zaixing and Lü Meng, who were lightly wounded, escorted the half-baked rice harvested back to Wancheng, while the three generals Gao Su, Dong Xi, and Huo Jun led 30,000 people to garrison Xinye, check household registration, search for spies, build fortifications, and prepare for the counterattack of the Jingzhou army.
When Yang Xuangan led his troops to Wuguan, he learned that Yue Fei's main army had retreated to Wancheng, so he stationed troops in the pass, confronted Yue Fei across Wuguan, and waited for an opportunity to move.
The war came as violently as a summer rainstorm and dissipated quickly, but in a day or two, it was quiet.
Yue Fei repaired a letter and sent an envoy to Xiangyang, saying that he would exchange Liu Pan's corpse for Ji Ling's corpse.
Liu Pan is Liu Biao's nephew, and naturally he will not refuse after seeing the letter, and the two sides each sent envoys to exchange the body on the way from Xiangyang to Xinye, Liu Pan was transported back to Xiangyang, and Ji Ling's body was also sent back to Wancheng.
Facing Ji Ling's body, Yue Fei sighed: "General Ji's death, Fei's mistake is also" "It's not the governor's fault, it's the fault of the last general, it's me who underestimated the enemy too much, and I underestimated Huang Zhong too much, please let the governor fall" Yang Zaixing only injured his shoulder, and it was no big deal, except for the injured left arm, which could not use his strength, he was already able to move freely, and after listening to Yue Fei's self-blame, he was ashamed in his heart, and immediately bent his knees to plead guilty.
Yue Fei picked up Yang Zaixing and comforted: "If there is a mistake, it is also the fault of the governor of the capital first, and the appointment of people who neglected Chen Qingzhi's talent is not a general, at best, he can only be a strategist, but I made him a deputy vanguard because of His Majesty's edict, which is really unwise."
"What Master said is, I don't understand why Your Majesty let a powerless scholar be a general and be a strategist, so he had to go to the battlefield and kill General Ji Ling in vain" Lu Meng, who was a head taller than last year, clasped his hands on his chest and complained with Yue Fei's words.
At this moment, Ji Ling's body was surrounded by Yue Fei's partial generals and generals, but Chen Qingzhi was not there.
Because he was recuperating in bed at the moment, Huang Zhong's arrow almost killed him, and it was a fluke to be able to return to Wancheng alive.
Yue Fei glanced at the generals, raised his voice and said: "Generals give a certain memory, the general is the courage of the soldiers, the general is the soul of the army, for the generals must not be without strategy, but for the generals must not be brave The principle of employing people is both civil and military, if you can't do this, at least you can't."
Saying this, he suddenly sighed again: "Forget it, Ji Ling's death is the responsibility of the Governor of Pontus, and it has nothing to do with anyone, a certain self-association will write to the Son of Heaven to ask for the guilt Chen Qingzhi was seriously injured, or send someone to send him back to Jinling, so that the divine doctor Hua Tuo can heal better."
Chen Qingzhi, who was lying on the bed, obviously felt that he was not welcomed by the people of Yue Fei's army, so he could only lie in the carriage depressed and embark on the journey back to Jinling.
Along the way, he sighed from time to time: "Can't you make contributions without the courage of the horseman, I don't accept it, I will impress you sooner or later" When the battle report reached Jinling, Liu Wei felt a strong shock: "Huang Zhong in his prime is so powerful, he shot and injured two of my generals in a battle, and beheaded one of them, this performance is simply overshadowed by Lu Bu, is it true that the strongest military general in the Three Kingdoms is Huang Zhong, this science seems to be the king."
But the wood is already in the boat, the facts are already in front of him, and Liu Wei can only accept it.
It was supposed to be just a tentative encounter, but I didn't expect it to be fought so fiercely, and both sides paid a heavy price in casualties What Liu Wei didn't expect was that Chen Qingzhi was actually sent back by Yue Fei in the name of recuperating from his injuries, which was not welcomed by Chiguoguo "System system, let me ask you, does Chen Qingzhi really have 98 with his command?"
"Why don't you answer when this host asks you?"
"Hey, if you don't speak, what's the matter, Chen Qingzhi's command of 98 is not accurate?"
"I said Uncle System, does Chen Qingzhi need a manual?"
"Your sister, you just play dead" Liu Wei asked for a long time, and the system pretended to be dead and refused to answer a word, which made Liu Wei not depressed: "Alas, the system doesn't speak, who can tell me whether Chen Qingzhi is a real material or a big parallel import."
Since the system refused to point out the direction, Liu Wei had no choice but to ponder the way of Chen Qingzhi's use: "Maybe Tangerine Sheng Huainan is a gardenia, maybe Chen Qingzhi himself is a big parallel import, and he didn't meet a powerful opponent along the way, anyway, the system is silent now and even Yue Fei doesn't want to see him, it is estimated that it is enough to be sent to others to be pleasing enough, go back and wait for him to recover from his injury, give him 7,000 people to fight Taiwan or Japan, whether it is parallel goods or Huaicai, go and prove it yourself, Liang Shu is a bragging for you or it is true, You can only prove it yourself."
Chen Qingzhi's matter is put aside for the time being, and Hua Tuo will treat him, and there will be no danger of his life.
Turning back and asking Wang Yue to teach him to practice swordsmanship, and strive to increase his strength by 3 points, Liu Wei felt that this was all he could do for Chen Qingzhi.
When Yue Fei's offensive was restrained by Yang Xuangan, Sun Ce, who was entrenched in Jingnan, also seized the opportunity of Han Shizhong's troops to march to Chaisang by land, and sent Zhang Dingbian and Shamoke to ride out of Changsha and enter the territory of Yuzhang to plunder.
Now that Liu Biao and Sun Ce have become an invisible alliance, and it doesn't even need to be said explicitly, they know each other's relationship well, with the current ability of Yue Fei's army and Han Shizhong's army, under the control of Yang Xuangan in Chang'an, they really can't take Jingxiang.
Liu Wei had no choice but to order Han Shizhong to retreat to Chaisang, temporarily take a defensive position, and wait for the dust on the Qingzhou battlefield to settle, and then attack Jingxiang with all his might "I have to continue to implement the strategy of attacking Qingzhou, this Liu Biao is much more difficult to beat than Yuan Shu" Liu Wei sighed in his heart, it seems that the princes of the Three Kingdoms are not soft persimmons that people can pinch casually.
Ji Ling died to rescue Chen Qingzhi, and he would rather kill himself than be captured, which is admirable.
Liu Wei passed down the edict, posthumously named Ji Ling as "General Zhaolie", gave him the title of Marquis of Surabaya Pavilion, and sent his coffin back to his hometown of Surabaya Pavilion in Lu County, Qingzhou for burial.
A few days later, Han Hao came to Jinling from Runan to ask for a meeting with the Son of Heaven and intercede for his brother Han Xuan.

Liu Wei knew that although Han Xuan was a mediocre and incompetent person, he should be able to be a local official such as a county magistrate and a county official, so he wrote a letter to Yue Fei and ordered Han Xuan to be released from prison and let him go to Xun Yu's shogunate to listen to it and dispatch him.
The four counties of Jiangbei became more and more prosperous under the governance of Xun Yu, and there were a group of capable officials such as Xu Jing, Yu Tuo, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, and Bu Qi.
In addition, he also served as a waiter of the Ministry of Agriculture to assist Xu Guangqi in jointly developing the country's agriculture, striving to raise the grain output of all localities under his rule to a higher level, so that no one under his rule would suffer from hunger and famine t1706231537:
