"General Yan, Liu Biao has withdrawn his troops!" A general from Tongguan came to Yan Yan with a look of color on his face and said excitedly.
"Oh!?" A hint of joy appeared on Yan Yan's solemn face: "Let's go and have a look!" After saying that, he hurriedly got up and walked towards the tower.
Outside Tongguan, most of the originally continuous military camps had been evacuated, leaving only a small number of Nanyang troops behind. Yan Yan looked happy and said in a deep voice: "My lord has succeeded!"
"General, what should we do now!?" asked a general.
Yan Yan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Pass my military order to Gao Pei. Two generals, Zhang Yi, will lead 20,000 troops to guard Tongguan. The rest of the troops will follow me on the expedition to help the lord!"
"Here!"
Wancheng, Prefecture.
"Lord, what's wrong with you?" Teng Fang looked at Qin Tian's frown and couldn't help but asked in a concerned voice.
"Haha, I can't tell that Liu Biao actually has such courage. If he had had the courage he has today five years earlier, no, three years earlier, perhaps the world situation would have been changed. Unfortunately... it's too late! The times
After all, he can't keep up and is destined to be eliminated." Qin Tian shook his head, a sigh flashed in his eyes.
"Ah?" Tengfang's eyes widened, and his head was full of questions: "Liu Biao? What happened to him?"
"This is the news that Luanfeng Camp and our spies placed among the princes' forces have just returned news. Cao's troops from Yingchuan and Luoyang have begun to gather towards Nanyang. In addition, a large number of unknown troops from Jingxiang are approaching Xinye! And although there is no definite news,
But Liu Biao's army is probably on its way back at this time." Qin Tian looked at the map and frowned involuntarily.
"So what? Nanyang is not our territory, so let Cao Cao and Sun Ce go on a dog-eat-dog chase! What do they care about?" Teng Fang was still puzzled.
"It wasn't before, but it won't be long before Nanyang will be the springboard for us to set foot in the Central Plains. Liu Biao would rather break the jade than live in ruins. He will introduce Cao and Sun's troops into Nanyang and let us compete with each other. But no matter what the final result is,
There is no possibility of General Liu Biao rising again!" Qin Tian shook his head and sighed: "What's more important is that although we currently control the family members of Nanyang's senior officials, the Nanyang soldiers are always Nanyang soldiers, not our Qingtian army.
If you want to mobilize these soldiers and horses, you need the support of Jingzhou generals. Although the Overlord Blood Cavalry is brave and good at fighting, there are only 800 people in the end. Facing a battle of hundreds of thousands, I am afraid that breaking out of the encirclement is a luxury!" Qin Tian sighed,
Liu Biao's move could be said to be a desperate counterattack. He indeed defeated his army and disrupted many of Qin Tian's deployments.
"Then what should we do? Retreat?" Fujikata said hesitantly. The encirclement has not yet been completed. With the courage of eight hundred blood cavalry, it is not difficult to break through, but it is really uncomfortable to see the duck in hand fly away.
"Leave!?" Qin Tian smiled and shook his head: "Of course you can leave, but once you retreat this time, it will be difficult to come back next time! Moreover, this battle is not only bad for us, but also for us.
Cao Cao was also at a disadvantage to Sun Ce. At this time, Cao Cao was competing with Yuan Shao for the north. How many hands could Cao Cao have free to participate in this battle? Needless to say, Sun Ce also had the most courageous Marquis Wen in the world. No one among the princes would dare to take it lightly.
In addition, how many manpower can be mobilized? The key to this battle still lies in the ownership of the Nanyang Army. Whoever can get the Nanyang Army can win the final victory in this battle!"
"If we can capture Nanyang, we will have one more road and one more springboard to advance into the Central Plains. Cao Cao and Sun Ce, no matter who captures Nanyang, can send troops and horses to Hanzhong at any time and take everything from Qingtian City to Hanzhong."
Two, defeat them one by one!" Qin Tian's fingers kept tapping the location of Nanyang on the map. Nanyang is the place that Qingtian City must win. With it, not only can Qingtian City's situation of being thin in the middle and thick on the sides be changed, making up for the shortcomings, but also
In order for Qingtian City to have a foothold in the Central Plains, we sent troops from Nanyang. In the north, we could join forces with Guanzhong soldiers and horses to capture Sili. To the south, there were four troop dispatch points: Gong'an, Chaisang, and Guiyang. Jingxiang was almost trapped.
In the hands of Qingtian City...
Cao Cao and Sun Ce also understood this truth. Therefore, the final ownership of Nanyang will become an important part in controlling the future trend of the world. As for Liu Biao, the instigator of this battle, he fell from the moment Qin Tian captured Wancheng.
The fate has already been determined.
"Then... what should we do?" Fujikata scratched his head and asked him to charge into the battle, promising to be more efficient than anyone else, but when it came to strategizing, it was a bit hard for him.
"Liu Biao cannot stay any longer. Since he has decided that he would rather live in pieces than in ruins, there is no possibility of compromise with me. He can vote for Cao Cao or Sun Ce, but he cannot vote for me alone! He can conquer him in one day.
Those who live under his command, but if one day he is no longer around, the Nanyang Army will definitely fall into pieces. At that time, we can divide, draw together, and muddy the water!" A cold light flashed in Qin Tian's eyes: "Teng Fang, there is something
Things need to be done by you, are you willing!?"
"But according to the Lord's orders! Fujikata will never give up!" Fujikata said with a solemn expression.
"Liu Biao's men should be approaching the Funiu Mountain area. The terrain here is narrow and the mountain roads are steep. I want you to lead two hundred blood cavalry here...to kill Liu Biao!"
"My lord, Yan Yan's men and horses are still hanging behind, neither attacking nor calling for formation. The soldiers are on tenterhooks these days, and the news of Wancheng's fall has spread among the army for some reason. If things continue like this, our army will not fight.
When Liu Biao's army collapsed in the Funiu Mountains, Wen Ping rode his horse to Liu Biao's side and said with a heavy face.
"Ahem~" Liu Biao coughed twice. A sickly flush appeared on his originally pale face. He gasped twice and looked ahead. As the mountain road spread, the road became narrower and narrower. In his eyes,
A flash of determination flashed through him: "Zhongye can leave an army of a thousand men to defend against the enemy. The terrain here is narrow and the army cannot spread out. They will surely be able to hold off that old Yan Yan for a few days!"
Although Liu Biao tried his best to cover it up, Wenpin could clearly see that Liu Biao's vitality began to dissipate at that moment, but he was just holding on. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, nodded heavily and said: "Don't worry, my lord, this will never happen."
Go make arrangements!”
Looking at Wenpin's leaving figure, and then at the soldiers with distracted eyes around him, Liu Biao felt a pain in his heart. Years of hard work, after this battle, might be completely destroyed here, but... Liu Biao suddenly raised his head and saw
Heading towards Wancheng, I thought to myself: Even if I, Liu Jingsheng, are no longer here, I will never let you, a rebellious minister, have an easy time!"
After walking for another distance, the army in front suddenly stopped. The road here was extremely narrow and could only accommodate two horses riding side by side. As soon as the front army stopped, the army behind could not help but stop. Liu Biao raised his eyebrows and was about to ask Liu Pan.
Suddenly, they were hurriedly and slowly squeezing through the crowd. The road was narrow, and the soldiers were so densely packed together that it was impossible to ride a horse. Even the general could only move by walking at this time.
"Yi, what happened!?" Liu Biao asked with a frown.
"Uncle, the road ahead is blocked by a large rock. I think it was caused by the heavy rain a few days ago. I have ordered people to remove the rock, but I'm afraid it will take some time. I hope my uncle can forgive me!"
"Hurry up, don't delay your trip!" Liu Biao nodded, but a feeling of uneasiness suddenly arose in his heart.
On a cliff more than a hundred steps away, Tengfang, who was dressed in light clothes, poked his head out from behind the rock. With wide eyes, he kept patrolling back and forth among Liu Biao's army. A blood rider disguised as an Orion quietly came to Tengfang.
Behind Fang, he said in a low voice: "General Teng, the mountain road has been cut off by our brothers, and the bandits may not be able to leave in a short time."
"General, look, there are a lot of people on horseback there. Liu Biao might be there. Are we..." Another blood rider raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and the meaning was self-evident.
….
"No, my lord has an order, Liu Biao must die. If you do this, you might be able to frighten the enemy!" Teng Fang shook his head. Qin Tianxia's order was a death order, Liu Biao must die, but no one here has seen Liu Biao, and they are so far apart.
Even if they have amazing eyesight, it is difficult to find a person they have never met before among a group of people. They can only judge the identity of the person based on their clothes. However, such a judgment is not very accurate.
"How about...asking your subordinates to grab a tongue?" said the Blood Cavalry who spoke earlier. The terrain of Funiu Mountain is complex and Liu Biao's military superiority cannot be used at all. Each of the Overlord Blood Cavalry can fight one against ten.
It is not difficult for a good general, even if he does not form an overlord battle formation, to silently catch a tongue in this kind of terrain based on his personal strength.
"Bring a few more brothers over, capture one each, and interrogate them separately!" Tengfang thought for a while, and this method is feasible. After all, he has followed Qin Tian for a long time. Although his intelligence is not up to standard, he cannot become a general in his own right.
I learned a lot about some small tricks.
After a while, several Nanyang soldiers were brought back silently and interrogated separately. Except for two of the more stubborn ones, everyone else's mouths were pried open.
"General, the man in Confucian robes on the white horse is Liu Biao!" A blood cavalry general told Tengfang after interrogating him. Tengfang's sharp eyes quickly discovered that he was riding on a tall and strong war horse and was being led by a group of generals.
Liu Biao, who was surrounded by the moon, had a bloodthirsty and ferocious smile in his eyes.
"You guys, look at my gestures and shoot arrows together to kill Liu Biao. The others will wait for us to shoot out the arrows and push down all the rocks here!" Tengfang said in a deep voice.
"Here!"
Under the cliff, Liu Biao felt more and more uneasy. The rocks blocking the road ahead had not been moved away. He raised his head and looked around. The more he looked, the more dangerous this place became. He was about to take people back to an open area to wait, when he saw
Liu Pan hurried over and shouted: "Uncle, the rocks have been moved away and the army can pass!"
After Liu Biao heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his worries were unfounded. Just as he was about to speak, a scream suddenly came from his ears. In his sight, Liu Pan's expression changed from relaxed to frightened.
"Puff, puff, puff~"
A series of muffled sounds made Liu Biao's body shake violently. He looked down in disbelief and saw that a dozen cold arrows penetrated his body. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. All the strength in his body surged out like a tide.
Go, and then there was a sudden loud noise above his head, but at this time, he didn't even have the strength to raise his head.
"Hoo~" He raised his head to the sky and let out a roar. His body softened and he fell off the horse. At the last moment of his life, he saw countless boulders rolling down from above...
