Yan Xing was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood what Xu Shu meant, and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi meant that our army took the initiative to attack and defeat Jingzhou's reinforcements?"

Xu Shu nodded, thinking to himself, the master's ability to know people is indeed unparalleled in the world, and Yan Xing is indeed a general.

"Then Liu Pan is a common man, with a bad temper, self-willed, and will not listen to persuasion."

"As for Kuai Yue, although he is wise, he is a man of prudence and self-defense, so he will never have a direct conflict with Liu Pan."

"General Yanming only needs to take advantage of this to show weakness to Liu Pan and lure the enemy to go deep, and he will surely be able to set up an ambush and annihilate them."

Yan Xing was also a cautious person, and asked, "Yuan Zhi knew Liu Pan and Kuai Yue so well?"

Xu Shu laughed and said, "It's not that Xu Shu knows them so well, it's what Wen Zhang said."

Yan Xing looked at Wei Yan, and suddenly realized, without the slightest doubt.

Seeing Yan Xing looking towards him, Wei Yan cupped his hands and said, "Although the last general's official position in the Jingzhou Army is not high, he has been there for three years, and he has a good understanding of Jingzhou's civil and military officials."

Yan Xing nodded with a smile and said: "If this battle is won, Wen Chang and Yuan Zhi will be the first to contribute."

"The last general dare not take credit for it." Wei Yan immediately humbled himself, thinking to himself, under the lord's command, the military discipline is indeed strict, and all the generals can sincerely do their best for the great cause of the lord without selfishness.

Next, Yan Xing and the others discussed the specific combat plan, and then acted separately.

Liu Pan's army set out from Xiangyang, boarded a ship at Yiling, went upstream, crossed Zigui and Padong, and attacked Wu County.

There is no problem with land, and there is no problem with water.

Within a month, Liu Pan's army arrived in Zigui.

The general of Zigui reported to Liu Pan that the Yangtze River was safe and sound, and Yan Xing's troops did not take any action.

Liu Pan snorted coldly: "Yan Xing's rate is only [-] soldiers and horses. It is already the limit to capture Wu County. If you dare to take any action, you must be prepared to defend Wu County to the death."

Kuai Yue frowned slightly, and said: "Mr. Liu Pan, since Hua Yu dared to let Yan Xing lead the army alone, he must have something extraordinary."

"Furthermore, according to the scout report, Yan Xing has Xu Shu as his counselor beside him, and this person is one of the top counselors under Hua Yu's command."

"In addition, Wei Yan, the general of Jingzhou, is also in Yan Xing's army. This person is very familiar with the situation in Jingzhou, and you should not underestimate him."

Liu Pan was displeased when he heard this, and asked lightly, "What do you mean by different degree, my son's ability to lead an army alone is not as good as Yan Xing, and is the strategy of different degree not as good as Xu Shu?"

"This..." Kuai Yue was speechless for a moment and rolled his eyes.

Liu Pan was half right.

Liu Pan's leading combat skills should not be as good as Yan Xing's, but Kuai Yue doesn't think he is inferior to that young man Xu Shu.

However, Kuai Yue didn't dare to say these words, otherwise, Liu Pan would definitely be furious.

As a general with a bad temper, Liu Pan looked down on literati like Kuai Yue from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, Liu Pan was also very conflicted from the bottom of his heart when Liu Biao arranged for Kuai Yue to serve as his military adviser.

In war, it depends on the military force of the generals, the desperate fighting of the soldiers, and the strength, not on the stratagem of the literati, and the stratagem does not matter.

No matter how good the strategy is, if the generals and soldiers are not good enough, they will still suffer defeat.

Seeing that Kuai Yue didn't say anything, Liu Pan said indifferently: "Pass on the general's military order, and the army advances at top speed. At sunset, we must reach Wu County."

Arriving in Wu County at sunset?

Kuai Yue frowned slightly, he vaguely felt that with Yan Xing and Xu Shu's strategy, they would definitely not stand still and wait for the Jingzhou army to attack Wu County.

However, seeing Liu Pan's high-spirited look, Kuai Yue swallowed the words again.

Following Liu Pan's military order, Jingzhou's warships drove at full speed and headed towards Wu County.

In the evening, Liu Pan's warship docked at the wharf in Wu County.

There was no one on the pier, not a single Chinese soldier was seen.

At first, Liu Pan thought it was Yan Xing's trick, so he sent a large number of scouts to check for news around the pier.

Within a radius of ten miles, they almost reached the city of Wu County, and they did not see a Chinese soldier.

Now, Liu Pan was relieved, and immediately ordered all the troops to land.

Kuai Yue immediately dissuaded him: "My lord, you can't do it, there must be something strange if something goes wrong, you must be careful that this is a trick of Yan Xing and Xu Shu."

Liu Pan sneered and said, "Without a single Chinese soldier in a radius of ten miles, what tricks will Yan Xing and Xu Shu have?"

"Alien, I didn't say you, you are too timid."

"As timid and afraid of death as you are, how can you lead the army to fight, how can you make suggestions?"

"You..." After being yelled at by Liu Pan and scolded for being timid, Kuai Yue was also a little ashamed and angry. He flicked his sleeves and stopped persuading Liu Pan. I have nothing to do with Kuai Yue."

"Hahaha..." What kind of temper is Liu Pan? How could he be frightened by Kuai Yue's threat, and immediately burst out laughing, "Let me just say, it's really unwise for uncle to send a different degree here."

Immediately, Liu Pan's face changed, and he said coldly: "If the alien is afraid, he can hide on the boat."

"In this battle, if there is a strategy from another degree, it will undoubtedly be defeated."

"And if there is no other way to make a plan, this son will definitely win a big victory. I will cut off the heads of Yan Xing and Xu Shu and dedicate them to my uncle."

"Okay." Kuai Yue took a deep breath and snorted coldly, "I'll be on the boat waiting for your son's good news."

After finishing speaking, Kuai Yue flicked his sleeves, turned around and went back to the boat.

If it were Liu Qi or Liu Cong, Kuai Yue might be a little bit jealous, because one of them would be the future master of Jingzhou.

But Liu Pan is only Liu Biao's nephew, and there is absolutely no possibility of taking over Jingzhou. Therefore, even if the Kuai family offends Liu Pan, it will not have any major influence.

Liu Pan looked at Kuai Yue's back, snorted coldly, ignored him, and strode towards the pier.

The wharf in Wu County has been occupied by the Jingzhou army.

The scouts who went to Wu County also rushed back to report: "General Qi, the gate of Wu County is wide open, and there is no one inside."

Empty?
Liu Pan couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and asked, "Where are the people in the city?"

"Back to the general, they are all gone, every house is empty, and not even one chicken, duck, geese, pig, or sheep is missing."

Is Wu County empty?

Although Liu Pan was bold, he couldn't help being a little worried when he heard the news, and immediately ordered to send more scouts to search the entire city of Wu County.

After the scouts left, Liu Pan frowned, thinking to himself, what the hell are Yan Xing and Xu Shu doing?
At this time, Kuai Yue got the news and did not come, but sent his own soldiers to bring a sentence to Liu Pan: "Don't enter a lonely city."

Liu Pan's stubborn temper came up, and he snorted coldly: "What kind of isolated city can't enter, Yan Xing and Xu Shu knew that they were defeated by our army, and they had already taken the people and abandoned the city and fled."

"Wu County is right in front of you, Kuai Yidu doesn't want me to get this credit."
