Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 537
"Ziyuan, since we are here, you and Mrs. Cheng don't have to go to Cao Ying to feed the tiger. But from now on, I don't know what your plans are?"

Wang Xuance came back to his senses, and asked the soldiers to dismiss the hundred guards, and said to Wu Yi again.

"where to?"

When Wu Yi was asked this question at first, he seemed a little confused. It is great to not have to go to Sili to serve Cao thief, but he will definitely not be able to go back to Yizhou.

Their brother and sister are alone now, but the older brother hurts the younger sister's beauty, so where can they go safely?

"If the general doesn't dislike us being dragged down by siblings, Wu Yi wants to follow the general, and I will go wherever the general tells me to go."

Wu Yi heard that Wang Xuance and Li Wenzhong had called Liu Zhang by his name before, and knew that they definitely did not intend to work hard for Liu Zhang anymore, so he said so without hesitation.

"Between brothers, how can it be said that it is a drag, Ziyuan can stay, we couldn't be happier."

Li Wenzhong chuckled, there were only a few people in Yizhou who he couldn't let go of.

"In that case, let's hit the road."

Wang Xuance looked at the sun, the golden rays filled the air, and the pines and cypresses in the mountains were green, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Yuan Xi is really tenacious. After suffering such a big setback, he can regain his strength as soon as he returns. He is trying his best to invite troops to fight."

January passed in a flash, Liu Xie also returned from Qingzhou to Chenliu, Yanzhou, and Yuan Xi was able to return to Hebei because of Yuan Shao's release of Baimayi.

After Yuan Xi returned to Hebei, he cheered up again because of Shi Wansui's persuasion. He desperately asked Yuan Shao for [-] troops and went to the Taihang Mountains to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Yellow Turban bandits.

This time Yuan Shao was determined to solve the Yellow Turban scourge once and for all. Not only did Yuan Shang lead [-] troops to attack from the east of Taihang Mountain, but he also asked Yuan Tan to lead [-] troops to go south from Youzhou to encircle Bingzhou in the west.

Yuan Shao himself led [-] soldiers and horses behind the formation, and a group of advisers and generals all accompanied them to participate in the battle.

Not surprisingly, the destruction of the Yellow Turban Thieves is imminent.

On the Taihang Mountains, the rain was about to come and the wind filled the buildings. The yellow scarf thieves lost their arrogance and vigor in the past, and all of them were frowning and frightened.

Since the news of Yuan Shao's 20-strong army came to exterminate them, in a short period of time, many yellow scarf thieves have fled down the mountain in fright.

Those still staying in the Taihang Village are basically Zhang Yan's [-] Black Mountain Army and Hong Xiuquan's followers.

Zhang Meiniang is still missing, and she doesn't know if she has become obsessed with practicing Taiping essential skills and sat on a dead end.

On the contrary, Huang Chao, who had always been at odds with Zhang Yan, relied on the large number of people and the strength of Huang Ju's army to fight Yuan Tan several times in Bingzhou, and his reputation gradually rose without losing the wind.

However, Huang Chao also knew that this time was an important moment concerning the life and death of the Yellow Turban thief, and it was not so easy to get through.

Yuan Shao had made up his mind, the reason why he only let Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang fight with them was just to take the opportunity to observe their performance and choose a successor.

Yuan Tan and Huang Chao were tied, and Yuan Shang's side also failed to make progress. The [-] army was blocked by Zhang Yan relying on the dangerous terrain of Taihang Mountain. So far, not many victories have been achieved.

This is why Yuan Shaohui agreed to Yuan Xi's request and sent him with [-] troops to help Yuan Shang.

It's just that Yuan Shang didn't appreciate it. When Yuan Xi, the elder brother, came, he was ridiculed for a while, completely forgetting that he was also captured alive by Pang Tong.

Yuan Xi endured it one by one. Even so, Yuan Shang still took away 5000 soldiers and horses, and took the remaining [-] people to escort the grain and grass for his army.

Unloved by his father, disrespected by his younger brother, and disrespected by his ministers, Yuan Xi felt a little desperate, and couldn't help but think of how relaxed he was when he was a prisoner by Liu Xie's side.

In particular, Liu Xie, as the lord of the three states and the venerable king of Wu, was able to sit and talk calmly with his life-and-death enemy, which made Yuan Xi miss him very much.

Shi Wansui stood by his side, cursing in a low voice. Yuan Shang went too far and did not give Yuan Xi any chance to perform meritorious service.

Yuan Xi thought about it for a while, then quickly cheered up. Instead, he walked to Shi Wansui and comforted him softly, telling him not to be so angry that he would hurt his body.

Taihang Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Zhang Yan has a good command of troops. It is destined that this encirclement and suppression battle against the Yellow Turban Bandits will not be too easy, and the outcome cannot be determined by brute force alone.

With such a protracted period of time, he, Yuan Xi, may not have no chance to seize the opportunity, make military exploits, and slap Yuan Shang in the face.

At about this time, Liu Bei, who had given up Mianzhu Pass, finally led his army back to Jingzhou.

At this time, the battle situation was very unfavorable to Liu Bei. Most of the three counties in Jingbei had fallen. Only Nanyang and Nanjun counties were still in Liu Bei's hands. Because Yuzhang County was too far apart, Song Jiang ordered Huarong to take it down.

But this is not important. As long as Liu Bei leads the army and rushes back before Pan Feng's entire army is wiped out, it will not be too late even if only one county is left.

With Wang Xuance's guidance, Liu Bei would naturally stop being polite to Liu Biao, and directly used the name of protecting the soil and guarding the family to attack Liu Biao's unrighteous teachers.

Although Wang Xuance did not rely on him, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are brave, resourceful, thick and fine top generals, and their soldiers and horses have been battle-hardened and well-trained. In just one day, they directly broke through the Songjiang River. After several blockades, they returned to Nanyang and Pan Feng was able to rendezvous.

During the chaotic battle, Li Kui was stabbed in the thigh by Zhang Fei's spear. He was seriously injured and had to recuperate in bed.

Guan Yu and Huang Zhong fought fiercely with hundreds of troops, regardless of the outcome.

Liu Bei's return immediately shocked the entire Jingzhou. Liu Biao was so frightened that he could not sleep or eat, and complained repeatedly that the Kuai brothers and Cai Mao should not tease the tiger's beard.

It's just that now, riding a tiger is difficult, but Liu Biao has a bit of courage, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered Wenpin and Wei Yan, the famous Jingzhou generals, to lead an army of [-] to fight Liu Bei with Song Jiang.

Liu Biao didn't have many soldiers and horses, Jiangxia was an important county defending Jiangdong, Huang Zu and his [-] soldiers and horses couldn't move.

Excluding the garrison in various counties and the defense of Xiangyang, the only soldiers and horses he could mobilize were the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the hands of his eldest son Liu Qi and his eldest son Liu Pan.

However, counting the soldiers of Song Jiang and Huang Zhong, there are now nearly [-] people, enough to compete with Liu Bei's [-] army.

After Liu Bei returned to Nanyang, he was not in a hurry to start a counterattack. He closed the city for defense every day, and only let Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Pan Feng go out to fight in the city to boost morale.

The arrogant Guan Yu and the veteran Huang Zhong fought several times in succession, and each time they fought thrillingly, but they were unable to tell the winner, which made Liu Bei surprised and delighted by Huang Zhong.

Zhang Fei was different, Hua Rong and the generals couldn't fight with a snake spear, and Shi Bao didn't know why he didn't fight.

It was only after Wenpin and Wei Yan arrived that they could barely block Zhang Fei's roar.
