First update today, second update before ten o'clock.
I finally got home, it was such a hard time!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
For two days, everything was calm.
Both Liu Hu and Cao Peng appeared to be very restrained, and the two sides did not fight again. However, everyone knew that this was just the tranquility before the war. Once there was a fight, it would definitely be bloody and brutal. While resting, both sides also
In the process of mobilizing troops and generals, Li Tong, the governor of Runan, issued a recruitment order in Pingyu and gathered troops with Lang Ling, who may be stationed in Nanyang at any time.
As for Liu Hu, he also asked Xiangyang for help.
Although Liu Biao was still hesitant, he sent General Wenpin to assemble in Deng County to make a gesture of support.
After Liu Bei reduced his troops, he had stabilized his position. After testing Cao Jun twice, he did not achieve much. Wei Yan stationed troops and horses at Nanshan Pass and gathered at Nanshan Pass from sunset, forming a powerful barrier.
It was during these two tests that Wei Yan showed extraordinary tactical qualities. No matter how Liu Bei tried to test him, he followed Cao Peng's orders and could not stand.
At the same time, Nanshan Pass and Sunset Jue echoed each other, forming an extremely effective clamp on Liu Bei in Wancheng.
On the Jiyang side, Du Ji, Deng Zhi, and Xu Yi fought steadily. With the barrier of Nanjiu Ferry, they could threaten Niyang if they advanced, but they could defend the east bank of Jishui when they retreated. Guan Yu also launched several attacks, but the final result was in vain.
The success came back. As a result, the two sides formed a balanced situation, restraining each other. And everyone's eyes were unanimously focused on Huyang.
It was under this tense situation that the people of Nanyang gradually forgot about Cao Cao, who was fighting in the north.
The day after Cao Peng arrived in Huyang, Jia Xu returned to Wuyin.
Accompanying him to Nanyang were Xia Houshang, the captain of the Shesheng camp, and three thousand soldiers and horses of the Shesheng battalion, who stationed in Wuyin County. When Jia Xu arrived, Yang Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He arrived in Wuyin after Jia Xu arrived in Wuyin County.
On a cloudy day, he led the 3,000 soldiers and horses temporarily recruited and set off for Nanshan.
Just when Yang Chu set off, Cao Cao led Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Dianwei and three others, with Cao Zhang Niugang as the vanguard and Wu Zhongren Tian Chou as the guide, quietly climbed Xu Wushan and came out of Lu.
Longsai, marched towards Liucheng. However, Guo Jia did not accompany him on the expedition because he was not acclimatized to the climate. Instead, Xun You accompanied him... Originally, Guo Jia strongly requested to go together, and even persuaded Cao Cao for a time. But the imperial physician accompanied him.
Dong Xiao, however, firmly opposed it. He also stated that if Guo Jia went on an expedition, his condition would probably be aggravated and his life would not be saved. After hesitating for a long time, Cao Cao decided to follow Dong Xiao's persuasion and reject Guo Jia's request to go on an expedition.
As a result, Guo Jia continued to stay in Wuzhong County and found someone to pretend to be Cao Cao to confuse Yuan Jun's attention.
The Battle of Liucheng is about to break out.
However, no one noticed that beside the forward soldier Cao Zhang, there was an extra person unnoticed, staring at Tian Chou.
This person is also the one who came here on Cao Peng's orders...

The Battle of Huyang was suspended for two days.
At nightfall on the third day, Li Gui suddenly ordered the soldiers and horses to be mobilized.
Whether Huang Zhong colluded with Cao Peng will be revealed tonight. Li Gui couldn't help but feel uneasy. After discussing with Liu Hu, he decided to lead his troops first and attack Cao Jun's camp at night. If Cao Jun's camp was not guarded, it means that
What was said in the letter was true. There was collusion between Huang Zhong and Cao Peng. In this way, Li Gui just robbed the camp, and then defeated Cao Jun to boost morale. If Cao Jun's camp was defensive, it meant that Cao Peng and Huang
There was no collusion between loyalists and loyalists. At that time, Li Gui was trapped in a tight siege, and Liu Hu took the opportunity to launch an attack outside. According to Li Gui, this is called a mantis stalking a cicada, with the oriole behind. Liu Hu attacked as the oriole, and fought with the oriole.
If Li Gui cooperates with the outside, Cao's army will be defeated. Therefore, regardless of whether Huang Zhong and Cao Peng collude or not, in Li Gui's view, this battle is inevitable.
Three thousand soldiers and horses followed Li Gui and quietly left the Jingzhou camp and approached Cao's camp.
The night is deep, and the clouds cover the moon.
Looking from a distance, Cao Jun's camp was brightly lit.
Li Gui took a deep breath, pulled out his sword, pointed forward, and shouted: "My sons, charge with me!"
Three thousand Jingzhou soldiers let out thunderous shouts and followed Li Gui into the gate of Cao Jun's camp. However, as soon as he entered the camp, Li Gui immediately felt that something was not good. This was just because there was so much chaos in Cao Jun's camp.
It calmed down... There was such a huge movement, but there was no sign of Cao Jun. Li Gui quickly urged his horse to come to a military tent, opened the tent curtain with his sword, and saw stacks of firewood piled in the tent.
Fell into a trap!
Li Gui suddenly woke up.
At the same time, he also became convinced in his heart that Huang Zhong was not colluding with Cao Peng.
This is an empty camp, and Cao Jun has an ambush.
Li Gui quickly shouted: "There is an ambush, retreat, retreat immediately!"
He turned his horse's head and was about to rush out of the camp when he heard bursts of banging, followed by bursts of shouts of killing coming from outside Cao's camp.
"Get away from the thief!"
Along with the cry of killing, a group of men and horses suddenly came out from behind Cao's camp.
The archers, all of them, stood firm outside the camp, lit the tinder on their arrows, and then drew their bows and fired arrows into the camp.
Li Yan jumped on his horse and raised his gun, pointing at the military camp in the distance.
"Fire the arrow!"
In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired.
The rocket roared into the sky and flew into the camp.
The tents in the camp were all smeared with kerosene, which would cause fire. The firewood piled in the military tents ignited and spread throughout the camp in an instant. This was a cunning plan, one that Cao Jun had planned long ago.
Treacherous plot. They spotted the contradiction between Liu Hu and Huang Zhong, so they aroused Liu Hu's suspicion of Huang Zhong. Whether it was his previous respect for Huang Zhong or the later blackmailed letter, Liu Hu also
Well, Li Gui and others, the reaction they were going to make had already been clearly planned by Cao Peng and others.
Li Gui's face changed drastically, he shouted fiercely, and ordered his soldiers to rush out of the camp.
But now that we are here, how can we leave so easily?
Li Yan led his troops and archers lined up to seal the gate of the camp. Rockets flew into the camp, and as long as they touched the tents, they would immediately burst into flames. There were nearly a thousand tents in the entire camp.
, more than ten thousand kilograms of firewood, once burned, spread quickly. At the same time, Kuai Zheng led his troops and set up a trebuchet outside the camp. Cans of kerosene fell into the sea of fire as the trebuchet was thrown.
Middle... What does adding fuel to a fire mean? It's roughly like this. The fire oil poured on the ground and immediately shattered. The flames flowed along the camp, accelerating the spread of the fire. Some fire jars fell on the tent, but they did not break.
.However, as the temperature increased and the fire spread, the fire oil tank was heated and exploded. Every explosion would be accompanied by pieces of pottery flying, killing an unknown number of people.
Li Gui was commanding a breakout when he suddenly saw a fire oil tank falling from the sky and hitting him hard on the head.
The oil tank suddenly shattered, and Li Gui was covered with kerosene.
An oil tank nearby exploded, and a piece of pottery wrapped in flames flew out and landed on Li Gui. In an instant, the kerosene on Li Gui's body started to burn... The man and his horse were surrounded by flames.
Li Gui screamed, his sword fell to the ground, jumped off the horse, rolled on the ground, trying to put out the flames. However, with the fire oil all over the ground, his rolling not only failed to put out the flames, but instead caused the flames on his body to be put out.
Gengzhi. The whole person was like a burning man, struggling and rolling in the sea of fire... Not only Li Gui, but also countless Jingzhou soldiers were swallowed up by the blazing flames. The entire camp had turned into a blazing sea of fire.

At the moment when Cao Jun's camp burned, Liu Hu also discovered it.
He led 5,000 Jingzhou soldiers and prepared to launch a sneak attack. Unexpectedly, Cao Jun's camp suddenly caught fire, leaving him with no time to react.
Liu Hu hurriedly mobilized his troops to attack Cao Ying.
However, before they could get close to Cao's camp, they heard a rumble of war drums.
Cao Peng led his soldiers and horses to fight out from halfway and blocked Liu Hu's way. Liu Hu was immediately confused and knew that he had fallen into Cao Peng's trick, so he turned his horse and left. In this dark night, he did not know what Cao's army was doing.
How many people are there, let alone what the situation is like on Li Gui's side.
But judging from the red light that illuminated the night, Li Gui was probably in danger.
He did not dare to fight, so he quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops and wanted to return to the camp.
But before he could push back to his station, he saw the Jingzhou Army camp was filled with flames and shouts of killing. It turned out that just after Liu Hu led his troops to leave, Pound quietly led his troops to arrive outside the Jingzhou Army camp. When Cao Jun
When the fire broke out in the camp, Pound led his troops into the Jingzhou Army camp.
There are still thousands of soldiers and horses left in the Jingzhou camp.
As the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou camp, Han Xuan stayed behind to guard the camp.
However, neither Li Gui, Liu Hu, nor Han Xuan expected that when they went to steal Cao Peng's camp, Cao Peng actually led his people to their camp. Han Xuan hurriedly accepted the challenge, but was attacked head on.
Pang De was knocked off his horse with a sword. Although Pang De's injuries have not fully recovered, Han Xuan cannot deal with him with his force. The most important thing is that what Han Xuan holds in his hand is Pang De's mouth.
The Tiger Roaring Knife. When Pang De was defeated by Huang Zhong in Tangzi Township, the Tiger Roaring Knife fell into Huang Zhong's hands.
But as Huang Zhong was taken into custody, the Tiger Roaring Sword was obtained by Han Xuan.
Pang De has been grudged ever since he lost the Tiger Roaring Knife. When he saw Han Xuan holding the Tiger Roaring Knife, he didn't care who Han Xuan was, so he rushed over to kill Han Xuan and took the Tiger Roaring Knife back. The so-called recovery of the Tiger Roaring Knife is also true.
In this way, Pang De withdrew the Tiger Roaring Sword, and immediately became energetic. He led his troops and rampaged through the Jingzhou camp, killing only Jingzhou soldiers and horses, and the people fell on their backs. Han Xuan died, and Li Gui and Liu Hu were not there...
The Jingzhou army was unable to organize effective resistance at all, and was instantly defeated and fled in all directions...
When Liu Hu heard this, he was also shocked.
There were pursuers following closely behind, and the Jingzhou Army camp...
Liu Hu immediately retreated to Tangzi Township with his troops and horses, hoping to regroup in Tangzi Township.
However, how could Cao Peng and Pang De allow him to escape? Cao Peng got Li Yan's advice, spent a lot of effort, and even sent secret soldiers to risk their lives to sneak into the Jingzhou Army camp, in order to succeed in today's battle. Liu Hu was defeated and retreated , Cao Peng was in hot pursuit. After meeting up with Pang De, the two chased Liu Hu all the way to Tangzi Township. Although Liu Hu had a camp in Tangzi Township, he did not leave many soldiers and horses to guard him.
After all, in Liu Hu's view, Cao Jun was unable to make a sneak attack, so why would he care?
If Huang Zhong was okay here, he might be able to put up an effective resistance. But the problem is that Huang Zhong was guarded by Liu Hu in the Jingzhou camp, and his life and death are unknown. After Liu Hu arrived in Tangzi Township, he had not even had time to take a breath. , Cao Peng and Pang De’s pursuers had already arrived.
In a hurry, Liu Hu had no intention of joining the fight and had to flee again.
Cao Peng and Pang De took advantage of the situation to recapture Tang Zixiang and stopped their pursuit...
