Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 304 Situation
On a small hill outside Jianning City.
There are more than ten people standing on the hillside, looking at Jianning City in the distance.

The leader was Liu Qi in white robe and silver armor, Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and Tai Shici stood beside him, and ten blood-clothed guards stood guard with their sabers on the left and right.

far away.

The banners on the walls of Jianning City fluttered in the wind, and there were also many barbarian soldiers guarding the walls with spears in their hands.

under the city.

The two armies set up a formation, and there were two generals fighting in the middle, and the fight was inextricable.

Three days have passed since the defeat of the barbarian army and the return of thousands of captive barbarian troops including Jin Huan Sanjie.

During these three days.

Neither the barbarian army nor the Jingzhou army had any large-scale battles.

The generals of the barbarian army and others had also seen the skills of Tai Shici and Dian Wei. On the first day when Tai Shici went to call for a battle, none of the generals of the barbarian army dared to fight, and the gates of the city were closed tightly to come out.

Afterwards, Liu Qi did not send Tai Shici to harass him any more, but asked his subordinate generals, commanders of thousands, and commanders of centurions to lead a troop to harass them.

Three days down.

Both sides had victories and losses, and no one had taken advantage of anything, so they played like an even split.

It can be said that the barbarian army and the Jingzhou army have come to a stalemate here in Jianning.

On the hillside.

"My lord, it seems that there are indeed some problems within the barbarian army. In the past few days, the golden ring and three knots have not been seen. Obviously they are under house arrest, or they have been dealt with by the barbarian king Meng Huo!" Guo Jia said.

Liu Qi nodded and said: "Most of them should be under surveillance. Although Meng Huo is the leader of the Southern Man, Marshal Sandong has a heavy army in his hands. If Jinhuan Sanjie was killed so easily, then Jianning would not It will be so peaceful, but it will become lively!"

heard.

Guo Jia and others also agreed with it.

After all, among the [-] barbarian troops who came to conquer Jiaozhou, there were also soldiers and horses with three knots of the golden ring. Although not all of them were loyal, there were still cronies of the three knots of the golden ring among them.

If it was just suspicion, there would be no trouble if Jin Huan Sanjie was placed under house arrest, but if Jin Huan Sanjie was killed directly, it would cause great chaos.

In this way, without their attack, the barbarian army itself will collapse.

"Although the matter of the Golden Ring and Three Knots has brought about some changes in them, we can't put everything on it. We still need to consider how to regain Jianning and subdue the Nanman!" Liu Qi looked at Jianning. Outside the city, the soldiers from the two sides who were fighting together said.

There was a glint in his eyes, putting Jin Huan Sanjie and the others back to create a gap between them was just a plan, and it was still very difficult to use this to bring down the barbarian army directly. It cannot be completed in a few days.

Therefore, another strategy was needed to capture Jianning City.

The voice fell.

Guo Jia and the others also frowned. Although the barbarian army experienced a big defeat, they were not injured, at least there were more than [-] people.

And they only have more than [-] soldiers, forcibly attacking the city, and they are still the attacking side, and they have no advantage at all in the fight, and they are at a disadvantage.

If they didn't attack the city by force, the barbarian army refused to come out of the city, and even those who were sent to call for battle used the trick of lure and pretended to be defeated, but did not pursue them.

In this way, even if they have many strategies, they have no chance to start.

Looking at the expressions of Guo Jia and others.

Liu Qi also knew that there was no rush for this matter. Meng Huo refused to lead his army out of the city to confront him head-on, and hid himself in the city.

Then he changed the subject and asked, "How about the rest of the battle?"

"The [-] Jiangdong troops led by Han Dang were resisted by [-] soldiers led by General Lu Zhi and Huangfusong before the reinforcements arrived. Although they did not stop the advance of the Jiangdong Army, it slowed them down a lot. , General Rihuang arrived with [-] soldiers the day before, and now the situation has stabilized and we are beginning to regain lost ground!"

"The Jiangdong naval army led by Zhou Yu just tested Jiang Fu's reality, and was repelled by Kong Ming and Xingba. They also retreated and stood still!"

"The land of Nanyang suffered heavy casualties. There were two generals, Liao Hua and Chen Dao. Although the city is still in the hands of our army, there have been several times when Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Miao suppressed many people to attack the city. In order not to hurt the common people, the coalition forces of the two men were once allowed to attack the city wall, and the soldiers fought bloody battles to defend Nanyang. According to the current consumption, if there is no reinforcements, Nanyang will be breached within a month!"

"Cao Cao is still stationed in Luoyang, there is no movement, and his intention is unclear; Liu Bei is negotiating with Lu Bu, and wants to come from Lu Bu's territory to attack Jingzhou!"

Guo Jia told the latest situation in one breath.

He also had mixed feelings when he received news from various places.

I am happy that the situation everywhere is relatively stable, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei did not join the battle.

This is exactly what worries me, whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, once soldiers and horses enter Jingzhou and break through one place, then...

heard.

Liu Qi also frowned, and he was very clear that whether it was Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, etc., they all had their own plans.

Although he is under siege now, if he wants to pull someone down, there is absolutely no problem. Cao Cao and others don't want to be that unlucky ghost.

Therefore, it is only the coalition forces of Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Miao who are attacking the land of Nanyang frantically. If the land of Nanyang is captured by the coalition forces of the two.

Then, he absolutely believed that Cao Cao and the others would pounce on them and bite them hard, instead of the current attitude of whether to fight or not.

thought here.

Liu Qi asked, "How about Zilong?"

What can be mobilized now is only the troops led by Zhao Yun who captured Luocheng and Chengdu.

Huang Zhong had to resist the [-] Jiangdong Army led by Han Dang; but if Meng Huo had not been recovered from his side, Meng Huo would most likely come back once he withdrew his troops and left.

These situations made him feel very headache.

"Returning to my lord, General Zhao has captured Chengdu, Yizhou Shepherd Liu Zhang, Zhang Su and others died in the chaos!"

Having said that, Guo Jia also paused and looked at Liu Qi.

Seeing that Liu Qi hadn't changed much, he continued: "General Zhao is now integrating his troops, and he will lead his troops back to Jingzhou in a few days, but it will take three days at the earliest to arrive in Jingzhou. As for arriving in Nanyang, it may take five days. time!"

Liu Qi nodded, expressing his understanding.

Looking at Jianning City in the distance, he said: "Order to withdraw the troops and return to the camp!"

The feeling of helplessness also made him feel flustered for a while.

Not to mention the current unstable situation. !
As for the death of Liu Zhang, Zhang Su and others in the chaos, he would not take it to heart. From the moment Zhang Su conspired and Liu Zhang approved, it was already doomed.
