"Liu Bei? What a surprise!" Nanyang, Wancheng, and Chu Nan looked at the information sent from the front and were a little surprised.
At this juncture, he thought that the Jingxiang gentry would push someone out, but he did not expect that in this political game, it would be Liu Bei who finally emerged.
It's not that Liu Bei is not qualified, but that under the current circumstances, the probability of Jingzhou nobles choosing Liu Bei is very small. According to the speculations of Chu Nan and others, although Liu Bei is among the candidates, the one ranked at the bottom may be the first one.
The one who was deduced may be Liu Cong. After all, he was the closest to the Jingxiang gentry. However, in this case, the Cai family surpassed the Kuai family.
If the Kuai family wanted to avoid being suppressed by the Cai family, they had no choice but to choose Liu Qi as their successor and eventually win. However, no matter who they were, they were not enough to lead the Jingxiang gentry against Chu Nan.
Liu Bei, who has the lowest probability, is the most likely to resist Chu Nan.
After all, Liu Bei had been a state herder, traveled north and south, and experienced quite a lot of wars. Having him as the Lord of Jingzhou would indeed bring some trouble to Chu Nan, but his hope was the slimmest.
However, it was this person with the lowest probability who eventually became the heir to Jingzhou.
"It seems that the emperor's uncle still has amazing luck!" Chu Nan sighed with emotion. Liu Bei had the dragon spirit around him, and his ability to become auspicious in times of adversity was brought to its extreme. After every catastrophe, there must be great luck.
"If it were Liu Bei, he would be the most suitable right now!" Guo Jia said with some emotion: "It's a pity that our previous calculations failed a lot, and a lot of time and food were wasted."
"It's not a waste. During this time, the method of condensing luck has been spread among the army. At least the Han River cannot stop our army!" Chu Nan shook his head and smiled.
Just like the battlefield outside the sky, it is naturally impossible for each flying person to escape from the earth. However, the soldiers who have already practiced the art of visualization can use the method of luck to condense their own careers. With the training during this period, the strength of the army has improved a lot.
If you don't count the magic, Chu Nan's side is almost certain to win.
It's just that he consumed more food and grass. After all, his soldiers are not the zombie army of the Qin Dynasty, so they don't need food and grass. On the contrary, after their physical fitness increases, their food intake will also increase. If it weren't for Chu Nan, the other princes in the world together may not be able to support him.
This army.
Since the plan to split Jingzhou itself has failed, there is no need to wait any longer.
"Prime Minister, there is military news from the front. Liu Bei, with Guan Yu as general and Shi Tao as military advisor, will lead 10,000 troops to station in Xinye." A general came in and saluted Chu Nan.
"Everyone, since I can't succeed, then Jingzhou can only attack by force. Xinye is the gateway of Jingxiang. Who is willing to lead troops to attack Guan Yu? Capture Xinye?" Chu Nan looked at everyone and said with a smile.
"Prime Minister, the general is willing to go!" As soon as Chu Nan finished speaking, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, and Li Tong all stood up and asked for orders from Chu Nan.
Although this new field is a small place, firstly it is the gateway to Jingxiang, and secondly it is the first battle between the two sides. The victory or defeat in this battle is crucial to the morale of both sides.
All the generals knew this, and during this period of time, they had meditated on meditation and practiced Qi. They realized that their strength had greatly improved, and they all took orders to master this first skill!
"Guan Yu is a general under Liu Bei. He has extraordinary martial arts. I heard that his cultivation has become more and more sophisticated over the years. Although your strength has greatly improved, you should not underestimate this person." Chu Nan took out a command arrow, glanced at everyone, and handed it to
Huang Zhongdao: "General Han Sheng is mature and prudent. This first battle is quite critical. Don't be careless. Fight steadily and don't rush for success."
"General, take your orders!" Huang Zhong took the command arrow and saluted Chu Nan.
Seeing that the other generals were a little discouraged, Chu Nan said with a smile: "This battle is not limited to Xinye, and the opponent is not just Guan Yu. Why should you be like this? Zhang He listens to the order!"
Zhang He was startled when he heard this, and quickly stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying: "The general is here!"
"You have five thousand troops to occupy Deng County, wait for an opportunity to cross the Han River, and cooperate with the main army to attack Xiangyang!" Chu Nan handed the second command arrow to Zhang He. As a surrendered general, although Chu Nan gave Zhang He a high position, in recent years
Chu Nan mainly focused on developing people's livelihood and there were no wars, so Zhang He did not have many opportunities to make meritorious deeds.
Now, it was the opportunity to repay Chu Nan for his kindness. Zhang He quickly took the command arrow and bowed, "General, take your orders!"
"General Wenyuan!" Chu Nan looked at Zhang Liao and said.
"The final general is here!" Zhang Liao stepped out of the queue and said with fists in his hands.
"As for your 10,000-strong army, bypass Xinye and take Jiangxia directly. Remember, taking Jiangxia is not the primary purpose. The most important thing is to cut off Jiangdong's assistance to Liu Bei. Jiangdong and Jingzhou can only have a chance of survival if they join forces now. If our army takes
Xiangfan, we must prevent Jiangdong from entering the Han River, so that the main force can use all its strength to capture Xiangfan!" Chu Nan handed out the arrow.
"General, take your orders!" Zhang Liao took the command arrow with both hands.
"The rest of the generals are preparing their troops and horses, and dispatching siege equipment. Our army is doing this battle not in Xinye, but in the two cities of Xiangfan. These two cities are the real gateways to Jingzhou!" After arranging the three groups of soldiers and horses,
Chu Nan looked at the others and said in a deep voice.
"General, take your orders!" All the generals agreed loudly and returned to camp to prepare to head south.
For this southern expedition, Chu Nan mobilized as many as 130,000 soldiers and horses from all over the country. Looking at the soldiers rushing back and forth in the camp, Chu Nan and Guo Jia sighed: "Perhaps it was my voice that made the commander-in-chief the leader of this southern expedition."
The maximum number of soldiers and horses is once."
Ordinary soldiers can't fly yet. If you want to train a force with enough strength to go to the outer world, you must gather the luck of the world. This southern expedition can be regarded as training for future expeditions to the outer world.
Guo Jia said with emotion: "Ten years ago, Jia thought that as long as the world was cleared, the world would return to peace. He didn't expect that there would be great disasters waiting for us outside."
Out of heaven!
Chu Nan smiled: "Do the things in front of you first."
Huang Zhong took the lead and led 10,000 troops to attack Xinye.
"Father, is this Huang Zhong the one who shot and injured my uncle that day?" Guan Ping asked curiously after receiving the news in Xinye City.
"You're an old soldier!" Guan Yu snorted coldly, stood up and said, "Tanzhi, order your troops to go out for battle. I will personally behead this old soldier!"
"General, what our army wants is to defend Xinye and buy time for your lord to consolidate Xiangfan. It is not appropriate to send troops at this time." Shi Tao persuaded Guan Yu quickly when he heard that Guan Yu was about to lead his troops.
"Sir, Xinye is only a small area and the city walls are not strong. How difficult is it to stop Chu Nan's army with this city?" Guan Yu was polite to Shi Tao, but he was not prepared to listen to his words and defend Xinye: "This battle
It is related to the morale of the two counties. If we can win, it will dampen the spirit of Chu Nan. I will leave Tanzhi here to help Mr. defend the city while I lead the army to meet the old man."
Shi Tao still wanted to persuade him, but Guan Yu had already arranged for Guan Ping to defend the city and brought eight thousand troops out of the city, preparing to compete with Huang Zhong.
"General, I heard that Huang Zhong not only has amazing archery skills, but also has extremely high martial arts, so don't be careless!" After leaving Xinye, deputy general Xiahou Bo followed Guan Yu and reminded him.
Guan Yu nodded. He had met Huang Zhong before. Although they didn't have much fighting, Huang Zhong's arrows left a deep impression on Guan Yu. Liu Bei almost died in that battle.
Not only is this man a master of archery, his arrow array is also superb. When fighting, you must not let him use the power of his arrow array, otherwise you may not be able to defeat him!
Guan Yu thought about this, but the flames of hatred in his heart kept rising. If Huang Zhong hadn't seriously injured Liu Bei, he had to evacuate to protect Liu Bei, leaving his third brother behind to kill him. If not for that arrow,
If their brothers join forces, no matter how powerful Lu Bu is, they can escape unscathed.
With the current marching speed, not long after Guan Yu left the city, he discovered the origin of Huang Zhong's army. Huang Zhong was the first to notice where Guan Yu was. He didn't want the opponent to dare to go out of the city to fight, so he immediately ordered the soldiers of the three armies to stop. Huang Zhong's newly trained three thousand archers quickly
The battle formation was formed. At this time, Guan Yu noticed Huang Zhong's army and quickly formed a formation.
"Buzz~"
Three thousand arrow clusters broke through the air, turned into an arrow array and shot in the direction of Guan Yu's army. The sharp arrows soared into the sky, shaking the world.
Guan Yu stood in front of the formation and saw three thousand sharp arrows coming through the sky like meteors falling. Although it was not the first time he saw this situation, he still had to sigh at the skill of this old soldier.
A ball of green energy rose up from the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his palm. Facing the arrow array coming towards him, Guan Yu snorted coldly and slashed out with the sword. In an instant, the world seemed to be cut into two parts by this sword as the arrow array burst through the air.
Being unfolded by this world-dominating sword, from the ground, it seemed as if the sky was cracking.
Immediately afterwards, the turbulence generated by the energy breaking through the air flew countless arrow clusters, losing their direction, and scattered all over the ground.
Guan Yu raised his sword high and said loudly: "Send my military order, kill!"
When fighting Huang Zhong, he must not let him continuously use arrow formations, otherwise he will be killed by the opponent sooner or later. Guan Yu immediately locked the opponent's army formation with his energy and led his army towards Huang Zhong.
"Form up and kill with me!" Huang Zhong sneered when he saw this. He is proficient in arrow formation, but he is not just proficient in arrow formation. Since you want to fight in close quarters, today will be your wish!
The two sides increased their speed to the maximum and soon met. Almost at the same time, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong broke away from the battle formation and charged towards each other, hoping to kill the enemy general first.
"Bang~"
Two big knives struck at one place with a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. A burst of air spread out in all directions with the two people as the center. The two people sat down and the BMW continued to hiss. It was somewhat unbearable, and the ground under their feet was even more cobwebs.
The surrounding trees and mounds could not withstand the aftermath of the fight between the two, and either fell down or split on the spot.
Huang Zhong's figure swayed, but Guan Yu was so shocked by the power of the sword that he flew backwards. He looked at Huang Zhong in shock, and the opponent's power almost crushed him!
After he obtained the method of visualization, he practiced day and night, and now he has already reached the extraordinary state. Although he has no method of practicing qi, his whole body is full of energy. He thought that no one in the world could be his opponent except Lu Bu.
I didn't want to fight with this old pawn, and I would be directly at a disadvantage!
The right arm that was exerting force was so numb that it was difficult to stand up for a while. On the other hand, Huang Zhong had the advantage and refused to give in. After stabilizing his body, Huang Zhong sat down and his horse flew forward, rushing towards Guan Yu again.
.
"Invite God!" Guan Yu's face darkened, and he quickly used the Invite God Technique. Although he was unwilling to do so, but relying on his own ability, it was obvious that there was a huge gap between him and this veteran. He could only use the Invite God Technique to compete with him!
