() Ding Feng was a surrendered general, unlike Lu Xun and Liu Qi's former general Hu Cheer, who took the initiative to surrender, so he didn't say much. When they talked about Liu Qi, it was even harder to interrupt, and just nodded. Seeing this, Lu Xun didn't say much. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing, and said to the left and right.

"Yang Lie is an unknown general. He will be panicked when he sees my army attacking. I want to say: After a while, our army will immediately attack the city. If it is unexpected, it will definitely be able to conquer. General Ding Feng attacks the north gate, General Hu Cheer attacks the south gate, and I personally lead the army to attack the east gate. What do you think?"

Hu Cheer is a man who can fight anything as long as there is a war, which is somewhat similar to Zhang Fei. He said immediately: "Just follow General Lu's instructions."

Ding Feng nodded and said, "Everything depends on General Lu."

Both deputy generals agreed, and Lu Xun was not talking nonsense, so he asked the army to rest on the spot for a moment, drink some water, and eat some dry food. As time came, he immediately rushed to Fangling City. When it was only two miles away from Fangling City, the defenders on the city discovered the Jingzhou army and hurriedly beat the drums and sounded the gold order.

A short black man was squirming on the beauty. Suddenly, he heard a mess and was so scared that he immediately became soft. Yang Lie was angry and put on his pants, cursing and was about to slap the person who was making trouble.

But when the guard hurriedly knocked open the door, he said in a panic: "General, the big thing is wrong. There are many Jingzhou troops coming outside. They are siegeing the city. The defenders on the city can hardly hold on."

It was not as exaggerated as the guards said, but it was just Lu Xun's first attack, but it was just a test. Unexpectedly, the defenders were so vulnerable that they could break through the city gate with just one charge. In fact, Yang Lie was usually too arrogant and relied on his relatives, bullying the people everywhere, levying heavy taxes, and deducting military pay. Who would have worked for such a betrayal of relatives?

Yang Lie was panicked when he saw the Jingzhou army so brave, and the guards did not say how many people had arrived. He thought that tens of thousands of soldiers in Jingzhou were attacking, but Yang Lie decided that the situation was gone and did not defend himself. He hurriedly led his personal guards to escape from the west gate. The speed was so fast that even Hu Cheer's cavalry felt ashamed of him when he saw it.

"Kill." This was probably the easiest battle that Hu Cheer had fought. Five thousand Jingzhou troops captured the city against two thousand defenders with only a few casualties. This means that Yang Lie was too incompetent, or who Lu Xun and others were too powerful.

Hu Cheer rushed all the way to the county magistrate's mansion in the city. When he arrived, he found that the building had already disappeared. Hu Cheer scolded: "This bastard is fine. He escaped to the top and let his grandfather pass away."

Lu Xun, who rushed over, heard Hu Cheer scolding, was also funny. He persuaded Hu Cheer for a few words and said, "It's okay, it's better not to catch it. Such a waste is a burden everywhere. If he was asked to return to Hanzhong, he might be able to make bad things in the future. Wouldn't he be a good thing for us if he is a bad thing?"

When Hu Cheer heard Lu Xun's explanation, he felt it was very reasonable and grinned and said, "General Lu is right. I found that as long as he is a novice, he is very powerful, such as lord, Zhuge Liang, and General."

Seeing Lu Xun's face turning white and red, he was a little angry. Hu Cheer hurriedly ran away and said, "Hey, why haven't Ding Feng arrived yet? I'll go and see." Hu Cheer lost because he had eaten "Little White Face". Once he accidentally said "Little White Face" and made him make up for a while. He ran dozens of miles in a daze. He could be regarded as experiencing the power of "Little White Face" and being stingy.

Lu Xun looked at Hu Cheer's escape in a panic and found it funny. He was angry just now, but just pretended to scare this unrestrained rough man.

Ding Feng then arrived and captured Fangling. The Jingzhou army occupied it almost without bloodshed. He confiscated two thousand surrendered troops and fled. Lu Xun saw that the movements of his army had leaked. Suoxing rested in Fangling for a while. He sorted out the surrendered troops and left a thousand old men and weak. He chose a patriarch of a big family who was deeply persecuted by Yang Lie and had a connection with Jingzhou as the magistrate of Fangling County.

Yang Lie actually did a good thing, which was to plunder a lot of money and grain that enriched the people, and the deducted military rations, and the hoarded food, etc., and gave them all to Lu Xun. Lu Xun distributed half of them as capital to win people's hearts, and the remaining half was used as military rations in Jingzhou. In this battle, the Jingzhou army had no worries about food and grass.

After a little rest, Lu Xun led 6,000 troops to Shangyong City.

Shangyong City originally belonged to Jingzhou, but was occupied by Zhang Lu. When Liu Biao saw that Zhang Lu did not station heavy troops after he was in charge of the war, he ignored it. Later, he was announced by Cao Cao and was under the jurisdiction of Hanzhong County.

Shangyong is an ancient place name. From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Southern Dynasties, there was Shangyong County, which governed Shangyong. According to the "Shangshu, Ou Mu", in 1046 BC, King Wu of Zhou joined forces with Ba's troops to defeat Zhou and fight in Muye. Yong's country was the first of the eight countries. In the middle of the chunqiu period, "Yong people were good at fighting, and Qin and Chu were defeated." In 611 BC, Yong's country took advantage of the famine of Chu and raised an army to advance eastward. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by King Zhuang of Chu and joined the Ba in the west. Qin and the territory was divided by Chu, Qin and Ba. The idiom "Yong people disturbed themselves" came. Since then, Chu absorbed the advanced culture of Yong and his national strength has increased greatly. The great wise man Liang Qichao once commented on this: "Three years after Chu Zhuang ascended the throne, he joined forces with Qin and Ba's army to destroy Yong, which is a major event in chunqiu."

Without saying this, Zhang Lu was worried about going to Jingzhou, so he sent Hanzhong general Yang Ren to lead 3,000 troops to guard Shangyong City. Unexpectedly, Fangling was captured by Jingzhou half a mile. Yang Lie, who had fled back, naturally would not say that he fled without even resisting, but just exaggerating how powerful the Jingzhou army is and how many soldiers are.

Yang Ren was quite distracted by this playboy. Who doesn't know Yang Lie's little troubles, but because of his face, he didn't embarrass him, but just let him go. Seeing that he was bored, Yang Lie kept scolding him in his heart, but on the surface he was timid and very obedient.

"Hmph, a waste, even an unknown general in Jingzhou can't beat him. If the famous generals of Jingzhou Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, Wei Yan and others come, they will not be scared to death. Liu Qi seems to be a stubborn person, and he actually sent an unknown person to see that I will not defeat the Jingzhou army and defeat his reputation." Yang Ren underestimated him very much when he saw Lu Xun as the chief general of Jingzhou, and thought that Liu Qi looked down on Hanzhong and himself, and was very angry.

"Report to the general, someone came to challenge the city, saying that he wanted to fight the general, and also brought a letter." The messenger rushed forward, and the army of Jingzhou had arrived at the city.

Yang Ren said: "Come on, I want to see what Lu Xun said." In fact, Lu Xun didn't write anything, but whoever the two armies were fighting should set up their formation according to the tactic of war, and the two armies would advance. Whoever had strong troops and had a uniform formation would win, which also convinced both sides.
