[It will be updated in advance tomorrow morning, operation error! 】
Outside Xiangyang City, the thunderous drums roared endlessly, and groups of soldiers and horses gathered outside the city. Xiangyang City, which had been silent for three months, was once again boiling...
In Zhang Fei's barracks, Chen Daozheng was holding a letter with a very gloomy look on his face: "The Lord asked us to go out with the army no matter what, but now we have not received the order to go out. I am afraid that this time we have to let the Lord
disappointed."
I originally thought of building more meritorious deeds so that I could help my lord once I had the troops in hand, but when I arrived in Xiangyang, I realized that the task for the two of them was really simple, and it was even more difficult to establish meritorious deeds.
Going out with the army, both of them were confident that they could accomplish great feats in a short period of time, but now it seemed that Liu Qi clearly had no intention of using them.
"I have told you a long time ago that Liu Qi looks like a talented person, but in fact he is just a sanctimonious person." Zhang Fei snorted coldly. At this time, he was no longer as tough as before.
Chen Dao glanced at Zhang Fei and shook his head secretly. Even Zhang Fei was no longer as ferocious as before. When he first came to Xiangyang, Zhang Fei also cursed Liu Qi, but as soon as he got through the board, he got more air out and less air in.
What's more, if Zhang Fei makes a mistake, he is not the only one who will be punished, but also the dozen or so people who came with them. Even Chen Dao himself got a slap in the face for this.
After a few days, Zhang Fei did not dare to blatantly scold Liu Qi.
"I'd better go to the city gate and have a look. Maybe there's still a chance." Chen Dao hesitated and said.
"Humph, what chance are there?" Zhang Fei snorted coldly, but still followed Chen Dao out.
In Liu Qi's mansion, the guards in black had already reported Liu Bei's actions to Liu Qi, and even the words in Liu Bei's letter were clear.
"It doesn't matter, just write it down first." Liu Qi waved his hand and said nonchalantly. Now that Liu Bei has come to Jingzhou, Liu Qi will let him go easily, but he will not touch him easily either. As time goes by, Liu Bei's thoughts will naturally change.
will be revealed.
"My lord, it's time to go to war." Xu Shu smiled and said as if he hadn't heard.
"Well, let's go." Liu Qi nodded, stood up and walked toward the door.
In a moment, Liu Qi arrived outside the city gate. More than ten generals had been waiting near the city gate. When they saw Liu Qi coming out, their eyes lit up. As Jingzhou's power grew, so did the number of generals.
.
These generals were all selected to go out with the army this time, and they were all very excited.
"See my lord." More than ten people bowed and said.
"Well, are you ready?" Liu Qi nodded and asked.
"Your Majesty, the army has been assembled and ready to go out at any time." Zhang Jia took a step forward and shouted loudly.
"The Flying Tiger Army has been assembled. Please give the order, my lord." Wang Wei, who was standing aside with his jaw open, also stood up and said.
There are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses sent to Liangzhou this time. All the Feilong Guards and Feihu Guards are dispatched, and even the entire Flying Tiger Army is dispatched. The Feihu Army soldiers who have not left Xiangyang for several years are full of fighting spirit.
Standing tall and proud, even Wang Wei was slightly excited at this time.
"Go to war!" Liu Qi ordered.
"No." More than ten people bowed and left one after another, returning to the troops and horses under their command.
"Go to war!"
Following the loud military orders, the dull war drums sounded again, resounding through the sky, and tens of thousands of troops suddenly turned around and left one after another, like a long dragon.
At the same time, a long queue of carriages in Wancheng was slowly heading towards Liangzhou. The carriages were all piled high with grain and grass. All the grain, grass and baggage of this army were carried by Jiang Wan, the prefect of Hanzhong.
Responsible.

Yongzhou
Twenty thousand tiger and leopard cavalry rushed back from Jizhou, and the horses were very fast along the way. The twenty thousand tiger and leopard cavalry were just tiger and leopard cavalry used for combat, but there were nearly 10,000 horses transporting food and grass, and the cavalry's food and grass.
They were all carried with them. If Cao Cao had not been able to spare too many war horses at this time, he would have equipped each person with a war horse to transport grain and grass.
"The general will arrive in Liangzhou soon."
"Speed up your speed and try to get to Liangzhou tonight, and send an order to Han Sui in Liangzhou to prepare a camp for the army." Cao Hong, who was on horseback, said in a deep voice without stopping at all.
"promise."
Half an hour later, when the army arrived at Zu Li, the officials in the city had prepared water and food for the army, and a simple camp was set up outside the city.
"General, Mr. Du's intelligence."
"Yeah." Cao Hong jumped off his horse and took the intelligence sent by Du Xi before he could rest.
"Jingzhou?" Cao Hong snorted coldly. This Jingzhou actually dared to intervene. Just one day ago, the Jingzhou army had arrived at Wudu County and should have entered Liangzhou at this time.
"I understand. You go back and tell General Du that the Jingzhou soldiers and horses cannot get close to Wuwei." Cao Hong raised his head and said after taking a look at the spy report.
"promise."
Not long after, hundreds of tiger and leopard knights dispersed to inquire about the situation of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses.
The terrain in Liangzhou is open and the cavalry has an absolute advantage. Cao Hong is not afraid of any conspiracy in Jingzhou.
Yongjing County
Fifty thousand Jingzhou troops have just been stationed again.
"Report to General, Cao's soldiers have arrived at Zuli County." Before he could set up camp, Zhang Jia received a report from the scouts. The whereabouts of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry along the way were all under the surveillance of the Jinyi Guards, so as soon as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry arrived,
Liangzhou was discovered immediately.
"So fast." Zhang Jia was shocked. In Liangzhou, the power of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry could be brought into full play, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command could only withstand the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry for a few hours.
However, after a few hours, it is estimated that not many of the 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command will be left. As for the 20,000 Flying Tiger Army, they are still stationed in Wudu County at this time. These 20,000 soldiers and horses will never be flown in advance as a last resort.
Intervening in the battle.
"Order the soldiers and horses in the city to reinforce the city, and also order Zhao Yun, Wang Yi, and Ming to wait for the opportunity and not fight Cao Hong for the time being." Zhang Jia thought for a while and said.
The Flying Dragon Guard and the Flying Tiger Guard were his greatest reliance. It would be terrible if the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were to catch them.
"I hope Ma Teng won't use any tricks." Zhang Jia narrowed his eyes. Including Ma Teng's 3,000 cavalry, the number of cavalry under his command can be counted as 10,000. Although the troops are relatively scattered, even with this tiger and leopard cavalry,
Can't do whatever you want.

Xuanwei City
"General, our Jingzhou army has rushed to Liangzhou. I wonder when the horses that the general mentioned will be delivered?" As soon as he received the news, Fazheng came to Ma Teng's house.
"Don't worry, envoy. Tomorrow I will mobilize all my troops to attack Wuwei City, and the horses will be delivered within three days." Ma Teng said, cupping his hands.
Hearing what Ma Teng said, Fazheng knew that Ma Teng must be lucky. If he could capture Wuwei County in one day, he would naturally not need the assistance of Jingzhou soldiers and horses, and the promised 30,000 horses would naturally not be needed.
Mention it again.
Fa Zheng secretly smiled in his heart, but there was no trace of annoyance on his face: "In that case, let's help the general to win the victory. Our Jingzhou army has arrived in Liangzhou, and I have to rush back to the camp to take charge of military affairs. I am here to bid farewell to the general."
"Oh, the messenger is leaving so soon?" Ma Teng said in surprise.
"Haha, this time the army goes on an expedition, but I am the military advisor." Fazheng said with a smile.
"So that's it." Ma Teng suddenly realized that Fazheng was actually the military advisor of the Jingzhou army.
After Fazheng left, Ma Teng snorted coldly: "Do you really think I'm a fool? A young kid wants to sell it for a price?"
"Father, will this be self-defeating?" Ma Chao on the side said hesitantly. He almost wanted to speak just now, but because Fazheng was here, he didn't speak.
"There's no need to worry. Since the Jingzhou soldiers and horses have arrived in Liangzhou, Cao Cao will definitely have a lot of worries. After we defeat Han Sui, we won't have to look at the faces of the two families anymore." Ma Teng shook his head and said.
The state is his world, neither Cao Cao nor Liu Qi are allowed to interfere.
………………………………………………………………
"Haha, thank you so much for the envoy this time. Even if the 20,000 tiger and leopard cavalry were to leave Jingzhou, they would definitely come back in defeat." After receiving the news that the tiger and leopard cavalry had arrived in Liangzhou, Han Sui laughed immediately.
"This is the Lord's order." Du Xi chuckled.
"Haha, I know what the envoy means. I will order the eldest son to go to Xudu." Han Sui nodded and said, even if Jingzhou didn't intervene, it would be very difficult to deal with Ma Teng. If he doesn't accept the promise, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will be killed at any time.
They may all leave.
"General Han is indeed a trustworthy person. General, please rest assured. As long as the general is attached to the lord, your son will be safe and sound in Xudu. When I return this time, I will propose to the lord to seek an official position for him." Du Xi said with a cup of his hand.
"Thank you so much for the envoy." Han Sui cupped his hands and said, no matter how he could hold an official position, it would be much easier to work in Xudu.

"Yongjing County?" Cao Hong pondered slightly after receiving the news from the scouts. Yongjing County is close to Wudu County, and the Jingzhou army can leave Liangzhou at any time.
"Hmph, I want to see what you will do." Cao Hong ordered with a stern look: "The army is about to set off and stationed in Lingju County!"
Lingju County is in the northwest of Jincheng County and is the only way to Wuwei. If the Jingzhou army wants to support Ma Teng, it must pass through Lingju County. There are no other cities within a hundred miles of Lingju County, and the wilderness is extremely
It is conducive to cavalry warfare. If the Jingzhou army is driven out near Lingju County, he would not mind teaching Jingzhou a lesson.
Last time, his two brothers, Cao Ren and Cao Chun, suffered a big loss in Jingzhou. If they didn't severely damage Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, how could he satisfy his hatred?
What's more, Jingzhou is always an enemy of Cao Cao, and it has long been a serious problem for Cao Cao. Everyone under Cao Cao's command is always thinking about how to suppress Jingzhou. This time, he finally has a chance, and he naturally wants to give it a try.
Twenty thousand tiger and leopard cavalry are nothing to fear even if Jingzhou has 50,000 soldiers and horses. As for the flying dragon guards and flying tiger guards, he does not take them seriously. There are only less than 3,000 cavalry, and it is difficult to exert the impact of the cavalry.
force.
Twenty thousand tiger and leopard riders only stayed in Zuli for an hour before setting off again, heading towards Lingju County. This time, the speed of the tiger and leopard riders had obviously slowed down, and there were more and more scouts scattered around.
