Chapter 296: Two Tigers Compete for Food

Sun Jian could only station troops in Nanjun as a precaution, and at the same time ordered several southern counties to strengthen their garrisons to support each other. Faced with the current sinister situation, under the call of Zhang Zhao and others, the gentry of Jiangdong and Jingzhou generously donated money, while Sun Jian began to

The army is expanded by major events, and the total force is expected to be expanded to 800,000!

Zhang Lang stood on the wall of Nanyang and looked at the thousands of miles of rivers in the south. He wanted to fight it in one go, but he was helpless at the moment! The biggest trouble came from Cao Cao in the east, but this military operation had achieved its expected goal and was recaptured.

It has won Nanyang and occupied Wuling County, which is a very important and easy to defend!

Huang Zhong climbed the city wall, found Zhang Lang, ran over, and reported: "General, Luoyang emergency military information, Cao's army has 300,000 troops, Huguan, and 600,000 troops have gathered near Xuchang, Xiahou Dun's 50,000 iron cavalry

I have already left near Nanyang County.”

Zhang Lang thought for a while and said to Huang Zhong: "Summon Zang Ba." Huang Zhong shouted and ran down. Zhang Lang looked into the distance and smiled slightly.

A moment later, Huang Zhong and Zang Ba came to Zhang Lang and bowed with fists.

Zhang Lang turned around and glanced at the two of them, "In the current situation, Nanyang is difficult to defend, so I decided to give up." The two generals were a little unwilling to give up, but knew that they could only do this for the moment.

Zhang Lang said: "Divid some of the money and grain in the treasury to the local poor. The War Bear Legion first retreated, and then the Longtao Legion. Huang Zhong led the cavalry army to cut off the rear!" "No." Zhang Lang looked at Huang Zhong and instructed him.

He said: "If we encounter pursuing the enemy, we can only guerrillas and restrain the enemy. We cannot confront each other head-on, and we cannot attack rashly. After our army retreats into the Luoyang area, the cavalry army will immediately withdraw from the battlefield." Huang Zhong agreed with his fists.

Zhang Lang thought for a while and said to Huang Zhong: "Immediately send a message to quickly horses to inform Kong Ming about the situation here and ask him to retreat to Hanzhong's defense immediately."

On that day, almost all the civilians in Nanyang gathered in front of the prefect's mansion, and there were crowds of people rushing to the prefect's mansion. At this time, the soldiers of Lu Bu's army distributed money and food to the people in front of the prefect's mansion. Zhang Lang was giving others generous, except for the money and food.

In addition to the reserves of the Nanyang Treasury, there is also part of the income from the Nanyang gentry. Zhang Lang is now willing to do so. Since the gentry regards him as a local, he simply treats the gentry as a warehousing.

While distributing money and food in front of the prefect's mansion, Zang Ba had already led the War Bear Army to retreat to Luoyang.

The next day, money and food were distributed in front of the prefect's mansion, and Zhang Lang had already left Nanyang and led the Longtao Army to retreat to Luoyang. Some merchants in Nanyang also left with Zhang Lang and Longtao Army.

It was the Cai family, who led them was Mrs. Cai, the wife of Liu Biao. She had decided to move all the Cai family's foundation to Luoyang.

Nanyang distributed money and food for five days, and almost all the civilians benefited, but the gentry hated them. In fact, Zhang Lang could not really make up his mind. If Cao Cao or Sun Jian did the same thing, at this moment

Those gentry members may have been slaughtered! Zhang Lang could not do such a thing.

Early in the morning of the sixth day, the people who left their home were surprised to find that all the soldiers of Lu Bu’s army at the gates at the streets and alleys were missing, only the flags on the city walls! Who has any legend that Lu Bu’s army has withdrawn

Luoyang has gone. The news is still spread in Nanyang, and some people are excited and some are worried. Soon, some bandits appear, robbing wealthy families, burning, killing, looting, and Nanyang begins to get into chaos.

Xiahou Dun, who was waiting for Cao Cao's order on the Nanyang Army's border, received a detailed report from Nanyang. He learned that Nanyang had become an unprepared city, so he made a quick decision to lead 50,000 cavalry under his command to kill Nanyang. Almost at the same time, Huang, who was stationed in Fancheng, was stationed in Fancheng.

Gai also received a report from Nanyang Kongxu, so he sent someone to report to the moment, and mobilized 60,000 infantry and cavalry to fight towards Nanyang. He led 15,000 cavalry as the vanguard.

When Sun Jian received the report, he was a little confused, but Zhou Yu said, "It must be Cao's army that put Lu Bu on great pressure and had to withdraw his troops! This is the time to recover Nanyang!" Sun Jian nodded and ordered: "Xiangyang's cavalry and infantry army 50,000.

Follow me north immediately!" The generals agreed with their promise with fists.

Just as everyone's eyes were focused on Nanyang, Zhuge Liang in the west had already led 200,000 troops to retreat, and the army retreated to Hanzhong, guarding the death. At the same time, Zhurong was on the Kuimen in the south, and was ready to occupy the battle and occupied the enemy.

Ma Chao of Wuling County has laid a large number of beacon towers along the river, and he dared not slacken at all.

His eyes turned back to Nanyang.

The iron cavalry led by Xiahou Dun and the cavalry led by Huang Gai rushed to the city of Nanyang almost at the same time. The two armies stopped, and Xiahou Dun and Huang Gai ran out of the formation. Huang Gai politely clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, General for your righteous actions!" Xiahou Dun snorted coldly.

"Prime Minister Cao in Nanyang!" Huang Gai frowned, "The general's words are wrong! Nanyang has always been the Marquis of Wucheng, and when did it become Cao Cao's!"

Xiahou Dun stared at him and cursed: "Bold! How dare you call the prime minister's name directly! Come on!" Yu Luo went forward and waved his spear to take Huang Gai. Huang Gai was furious and waved his sword to fight. Both sides were in Nanyang.

The two armies under the city fought in front of the formation. After more than twenty rounds of swords and spears, Huang Gaili fled back to the formation. Xiahou Dun waved his spear, and 50,000 iron cavalry roared in the wind and rushed in, raising the smoke and dust in the sky. Jiangdong

The cavalry hurriedly fought, but neither the combat power nor the number of them were the opponents. After a melee, the Jiangdong cavalry was defeated by the opponent! Huang Gai hurriedly led the defeated generals to flee south!

Xiahou Dun wanted to pursue, but the deputy general advised: "General, the Prime Minister has reached an alliance agreement with Sun Jian, so it's better to force each other!" Xiahou Dun dispelled the pursuit when he heard this and led his army into Nanyang.

The city is like a city. First, order is restored, people are sent to search for robbers who take advantage of the situation, and at the same time, an Anmin notice is posted. The gentry from Nanyang came to work in groups to carry cows and drinks, all of whom were very excited.

On the other hand, Huang Gai also led nearly 10,000 defeated troops to retreat for more than 30 miles to meet with the infantry brigade, and built a camp on the spot based on the mountain.

Not long after, Sun Jian led 50,000 infantry and cavalry to come. Huang Gai was about to report the conflict with Xiahou Dun at the city of Nanyang not long ago. Sun Jian was furious when he heard this and immediately led more than 100,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Nanyang. However, he was

Zhou Yu stopped him. Zhou Yu said, "Xiahou Dun's actions are hateful! However, our army is not suitable for any conflict with Cao's army at present!" Sun Jian calmed down.
