Liu Du waited in Quanling County for twenty days. He thought that since he was so wronged, Xiangyang would definitely provide support, but he did not expect that Liu Biao would withdraw directly for him.

"On this trip to Xiangyang, my father not only spoke sincerely in the letter, but also prepared a gift for Kuai Yue. How could Lord Liu Fu be so ruthless?" Liu Xian was puzzled.

"Do you know the dangers of being an official today? I suspect that what happened in Yingdao County may have been deliberately done by the Lord. I didn't expect that I would fall into the trap hastily, alas..." Liu Du sighed.

"Then let's hand over Lingling to Liu Qi?" Liu Xian asked.

"Otherwise? Should we also learn from Zhang Xian?" Liu Du asked rhetorically.

"I wonder how General Xing is doing. There has been no news for so long..." Liu Xian said to himself.

Liu Du sneered: "How about it? Either surrender, or die in battle..."

"How could it be? General Xing is our Lingling general." Liu Xian exclaimed.

"Xian'er, you also said that he is the general of Lingling... There is a sky outside the sky..." Liu Du shook his head.

While the father and son were sighing, an order came from outside the palace to report the military situation: Liu Qi's troops came out of Jiuyi Mountain, Yingdao, Yingpu, and Lingdao counties to watch the wind and descend, and are now heading towards Quanling along the deep water.

Liu Du was shocked after hearing this. He stood up quickly and asked, "How many troops does Liu Qi have?"

"There are three thousand horse and infantry troops," the ordering soldier replied.

After hearing this, Liu Du sat down again, and Liu Xian suggested: "Those counties don't have many garrisons, but we in Quanling still have five thousand elites, so we can give it a try."

"Who can be the commander-in-chief if General Xing is not around?" Liu Du asked.

"My son is willing to share his father's worries." Liu Xian said with enthusiasm.

Liu Du nodded and said: "Liu Qi must be helped by Liu Bei here. My son cannot be involved in danger personally. Our troops are twice as strong as his, and we can definitely fight. Even if we have to give up the position of governor, we father and son cannot be so cowardly."

The departure..."

"Let's gather our troops right away and give this eldest son a head-on blow." Liu Xian stood up and clasped his fists.

This was Liu Qi's first time leading troops in combat, and everything felt very fresh.

The garrison in Yingdao County had long been crippled by Gan Ning. Now Liu Bei's troops were not only far superior to the garrison in Yingdao County, but Gan Ning also used the captured remnants to lead the way. These guys directly became the leading party, and the county magistrate Xu Xiang saw the situation.

It's not good to bring everyone down.

Then Zhang Fei easily captured Lingdao, while Gan Ning repeated his old tricks and captured Yingpu without any bloodshed.

When the two armies joined forces and headed north, Liu Qi smiled on his horse and asked: "Uncle, these Lingling soldiers and generals are all incompetent, how can they have the courage to go to Guiyang to provoke?"

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Bei heard that all the elites in Lingling are in Quanling. We haven't really fought yet. The eldest son must not underestimate the enemy..."

Liu Qi nodded after hearing this, and the army rested in Yingpu overnight. Early the next morning, scouts came to report that Quanling's 5,000-strong army was heading south, less than a hundred miles away.

"Who is leading the army?" Liu Bei asked.

Scout: "Liu Xian, son of Liu Du."

"Brother, I will capture this person for you." Zhang Fei cupped his fists and asked for help.

"What do Yuan Zhi think?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang stayed in Chenxian County, and Xu Shu accompanied him in this western expedition to Lingling.

Xu Shu smiled and said: "Before leaving, Governor Zhao once said that Liu Xian is mediocre and not a talented commander. There is only a horse road under the mountain from Quanling to Yingpu.

My lord, you can have someone lie in ambush in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain on the west side, and then we can wait at the mouth of the valley to wait. No matter how narrow the mountain road is, the troops and horses cannot spread out. Once the head and tail cannot see each other, they will be in panic, and Liu Xian will not be difficult to capture."

Liu Bei smiled and said: "This terrain is very similar to the defeat of Xiahou Dun on Bowangpo. Then please ask General Gan to lead his troops and set up an ambush in Maolin to the west. Yide will wait with us at the mouth of the valley to wait for Liu Xian's soldiers to arrive."

"Wei." Zhang Fei (Gan Ning) clasped his fists and accepted the order in unison.

Three of the five ridges in Nanling are located vertically within Lingling, namely Yuecheng Ridge, Dupang Ridge, and Mengzhu Ridge. These large mountains cut Lingling into several areas. At that time, it was too difficult to cut mountains and build roads.

, we can only build a passable horse trail along the river valley.

The road between Yingpu and Quanling is at the junction of the Dupanling branch and Shenshui (now Xiaoshui). The terrain is quite dangerous for 300 miles. Liu Xian led his troops into the canyon. The south wind blew the trees and mountains and made strange sounds.

The sound made him feel uneasy.

Liu Xian moved forward cautiously for fear of encountering an ambush. When he reached the mouth of the valley, he breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Bei was already waiting there with his troops.

Liu Xian rode his horse to the front of the formation, pointed at the opponent and cursed: "That thief dares to invade our county. Now that the heavenly soldiers have arrived, why don't you quickly dismount and be bound?"

Zhang Fei raised his spear and shouted: "I've blinded you. This is the young master of Liu Jingzhou, the new governor of Lingling. Why don't you get off your horse and see me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, you black guy? The prefect Zhao of Lingling is still here, he must not be a Yue bandit, right?" Tan Wu, the captain next to Liu Xian, shouted.

When Liu Qi came to take over as the governor of Lingling, Liu Du did not tell the outside world at all. These generals mistakenly thought that he was an intruder.

Zhang Fei saw that this man with a curly beard and angry eyebrows, and a skin color similar to his own, dared to laugh at himself. He pointed a spear at Tan Wu and laughed: "You have such a strong tone, do you dare to fight me for a few rounds?"

"If you fight, fight." Tan Wu took two steps forward with a big knife in his hand.

"General Tan, be careful. This man's appearance is very good, so he must be not simple." Liu Xian reminded.

"Wei." Tan Wu cupped his fists and walked away with the knife.

Zhang Fei's eyes widened with anger, he slapped the horse's butt and rushed over like a strong wind. The snake spear looked like it had eyes, and it went straight into Tan Wu's chest.

Zhang Fei picked up the snake spear and threw Tan Wu's body to the ground.

"Who else?" Zhang Feixin asked, "What is all this? I'm not enjoying it at all."

The fighting general in front of the battle was killed with one blow. This force was far beyond Liu Xian's imagination. Zhang Fei issued an arrogant invitation to fight, but the other officers around him actually took two steps back.

Seeing that the opponent did not dare to fight, Zhang Fei said contemptuously: "There is no one left? A few more will do."

Lieutenant Colonel Li Shou, Fu Cheng, and Jiao Liang of Liu Xian Formation looked at each other for a few times and then reined in their horses and walked to the front of the formation.

"Hei Shou, you killed our comrade, and you are so trustworthy, I will definitely kill you today." Li Shou took the lead to rush out of the formation, Fu Cheng, and Jiao Liang followed closely behind.

"Haha, you're good to go." Zhang Fei stepped forward without any fear. On the contrary, his body was more powerful.

Liu Qi rubbed his eyes, "Uncle, are the three generals too trusting..."

"Even if the third brother cannot win, it should be no problem to escape intact." Liu Bei said in his heart that when Xiaopei was defeated, he escaped from Cao Cao's heavy siege.

Li Shouting's spear was at the front, and when he was about to come into contact with Zhang Fei, he stabbed forward suddenly.

Zhang Fei raised his snake spear and hit the opponent's spear shaft. Li Shou couldn't bear the strong force. The moment the spear in his hand was released, his chest was penetrated by the eight-foot-long snake spear.

Zhang Fei picked up Li Shou and threw it diagonally forward, hitting Jiao Liang who was coming towards him. The moment Jiao Liang dodged, Zhang Fei grasped the handle of Fu Cheng's gun with his left hand.

After a brief struggle, Fu Cheng was pulled off his horse by Zhang Fei with one hand, and then rolled on the ground.
