    As soon as these words came out, the four people were shocked.

    Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on the map, their eyes widened as they tried to reflect Jia Xu¡¯s astonishing words.

    Yan Liang¡¯s eyes were like blades, and he scanned the map between Xiangyang and Wuguan with a frown.

    After a moment of silence, a sneer appeared at the corner of Yan Liang's mouth.

    "Cao Cao and his group of counselors are indeed unfathomable, and they almost deceived me.

    There are two routes in total from Wuguan to Nanyang for troops.

    The first step is to go eastward to analyze the county and which county to attack Wancheng.

    The second route goes south through Nanxiang and Shunyang, and then goes straight to Xiangyang along Yinxian, Zhuyang and Shandu on both sides of the Han River.

    When the former Xiliang Army attacked Nanyang, they took the first route of march, and Wancheng was where Nanyang's confidants were located. Therefore, once Yan Liang and his counselors heard that Cao Cao was attacking Nanyang, they preconceptionally thought that Cao Cao would attack Wancheng.  .

    But Cao Cao took a different approach and unexpectedly chose the second route, which was to take Xiangyang directly.

    At this time, most of Yan Liang's army is gathered in the north of Jing, and the defenders of Xiangyang are only a thousand people. If Cao Cao's army launches a large-scale southward attack at this time, the chance of Xiangyang's fall will be very high.

    And once Xiangyang is lost, the impact on the entire Jingzhou will definitely be more than ten times greater than Wancheng.

    At that time, even the elite Yan family army was completely likely to collapse if the state's governance fell.

    Back then, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, and their morale was so high. But after hearing that Jiangling was lost, the morale of the army collapsed instantly. With this precedent, how could Yan Liang not pay attention to it.

    "It seems that Guo Jia's detailed network is also all over Jingzhou. He has a clear picture of our garrison situation in various places in Jingzhou. Otherwise, he would not dare to go directly to Xiangyang."

    When Yan Liang sighed, his brows were filled with pride.

    With a wave of his hand, Yan Liang said loudly: "Where is Wen Ziqin?"

    "The end is here." Wen Chou stepped forward with his hands in hand.

    Yan Liang pointed at the map and said loudly: "I will give you three thousand divine cavalry and order you to set off westward immediately. You must be the first to enter Shunyang and block Cao's army from going south to Xiangyang."

    "The general will obey the order."

    "Brother, don't worry, Wen Chou is gone."

    Wen Chou cupped his hands and strode away confidently.

    That night, Wen Chou led three thousand cavalry to leave Bowang and hurried all the way to Shunyang.

    Now that Nanxiang has been lost, Shunyang City is the next stop for Cao Cao to open the road south to Xiangyang. As long as Wen Chou can advance and occupy it first, with his ability, he can stop Cao Cao from going south.

    At dawn the next day, Yan Liang also led the remaining three thousand cavalry to set off. At the same time, he sent scouts overnight to urge Huang Zhong and other generals, asking them to speed up their infantry and come to join them as soon as possible.

    One day later, Yan Liang followed Wen Chou's army and entered the Champion City.

    This city is only more than forty miles away from Shunyang City. Yan Liang plans to stay in this city temporarily to wait for Huang Zhong's subsequent infantry to come and join him.

    After all, Cao Cao has 30,000 infantry and cavalry. It is impossible to defeat Cao Cao with cavalry alone. Only by gathering the main force of infantry and cavalry can we have the strength to fight Cao Cao to the death.

    In the afternoon, the Chinese army opened its tent.

    The envoy sent by Wen Chou sent the latest intelligence about Cao Jun to the case.

    Shunyang City was captured by Cao's army first.

    Hearing the news, Yan Liang couldn't help but frown slightly, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao's advance was so fast, and he was still a step late after traveling day and night.

    "Where is General Wen Chou now?" Yan Liang still looked calm. Although Shunyang has been lost, fortunately he has seen through Cao Cao's trick. Although several cities have been lost, Cao Cao has no intention of continuing his long drive south.

    "My lord, General Wen has detected that Cao Cao has sent General Xu Huang to lead 4,000 infantry troops to the east of Shunyang. He seems to want to block our army's westward advance. When General Wen sent a small force to come, he had already mobilized all the troops in front.  Go attack Cao Jun."

    Yan Liang originally wanted Wen Chou to retreat first and attack again after the army had gathered, but Wen Chou still followed his orders and continued to advance westward.

    Wen Chou took the initiative to attack, which was not considered a disobedience to military orders, and the opponent was his former defeated general Xu Huang, so this battle was not necessarily impossible.

    Yan Liang remembers that Wen Chou in the novel once fought off the joint efforts of Zhang Liao and Xu Huang on his own. There is no doubt that his martial arts skills are superior to Xu Huang's.

    Furthermore, Wen Chou led the elite cavalry of the Shenxing Cavalry, while Xu Huang led only four thousand infantry. In the flat terrain near Shunyang, it was not easy for Xu Huang to defeat the enemy's cavalry on foot.

    "Well, let ZiqinThere is no need to win for a while, or to frustrate Cao's army.  "

    Yan Liang relaxed a little and just waved his hand to make the scout retreat, ordering him to send the latest battle report at any time.

    The scouts retreated, and only Zhou Cang and Hu Che'er remained in the tent.

    Because Yan Liang took the first step, Jia Xu, Tian Feng and other counselors were still behind. There was no counselor beside him at the moment.

    Yan Liang's eyes returned to the map, looking at Shunyang City marked with a red cross, but for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

    Yan Liang is worried about Wen Chou.

    If Wen Chou were to attack Yuan Tan, Yan Liang would have absolute confidence in him, but now Wen Chou has to face Cao Jun.

    If he hadn¡¯t traveled to this era and changed the outcome of the Battle of White Horse, then Wen Chou would have followed in his footsteps and died at the hands of Cao Hui.

    Although history has changed beyond recognition, Wen Chou has faced his former enemies three times, as if there was some kind of providential coincidence.

    It is this coincidence that makes Yan Liang a little uneasy.

    Or rather, he always felt that something was not quite right.

    Anxiously, Yan Liangsui reviewed all the information again, trying to find any hidden information.

    Looking over and over, Yan Liang's eyes were fixed on the latest information sent by Wen Chou. The sentence "Xu Huang led four thousand infantry" suddenly caught Yan Liang's attention.

    "Cao Cao's army went out of the city to form an array. It was obvious that they had detected our army's arrival and planned to engage in a battle in the wild. In other words, Cao Cao knew that I had sent cavalry to rob Shunyang. With Cao Cao's military skills, he knew the enemy clearly.  It's cavalry, but why did he fight with infantry? It's not like he doesn't have cavalry"

    Why did Cao Cao use his troops like this?

    A huge question mark soon appeared in Yan Liang¡¯s mind.

    His brows became more and more frowning, and the look of suspicion on his knife-like face became more and more intense.

    Pacing in the tent, he pondered for a long time. Suddenly, a look of surprise flashed in Yan Liang's eyes.

    "I am sending my order quickly. The entire army must be assembled within an hour. I will lead the army to set off immediately."

    Yan Liang woke up suddenly and issued an order sternly.

    Zhou Cang and Hu Cheer were both stunned, wondering why their lord, who had just entered the Champion City, didn't even have time to take a breath, but was about to set off again immediately.

    When he was stunned for a moment, Yan Liang shouted: "What are you still doing? Go and deliver the order quickly, don't miss this important event!"

    Zhou Cang and others were so shocked that they did not dare to leave the military tent in a hurry without any doubts.

    "I hope it's not too late" Yan Liang took a deep breath, picked up the long knife on the shelf, and strode out of the tent with a solemn look.

    Sanfeng inside and outside.

    With the dark clouds pressing down and the cold wind blowing, Wen Chou subconsciously tightened his armor, but held the spear in his hand tighter.

    Although the weather was cold, his heart was as burning as fire, and his deep-set eyes were filled with pride and contempt for the world.

    At the end of the avenue, one could vaguely see the black flag rolling. Three thousand knights walked slowly along the avenue. Soon, the image of the enemy came into view.

    It was a military formation of four thousand people, standing across the front, blocking the way to Shunyang.

    In the military formation, the big flag with the word "Xu," fluttered in the wind.

    "Xu Huang"

    Wen Chou silently counted the generals in Cao's camp and concluded that the enemy general leading the army must be Hedong Xu Huang.

    "You have some ability, but unfortunately you are no match for me. I will use your head today to frustrate Cao's army."

    Wen Chou's expression became more ferocious, and the hunting aura rising around him made the soldiers on the left and right tremble with fear.

    Glancing at the generals on the left and right again, Wen Chou raised his spear and roared: "Warriors of the Shenxing Cavalry, follow this general to kill all the invading thieves."

    With an angry shout, Chinese Chou jumped on his horse and danced with his spear, shooting out like lightning.

    Three thousand warriors on the Shenxing Cavalry moved with a roar, shouting to kill with the anger of defending their homeland.

    The cavalry was rolling, splashing dust all over the sky.

    The torrent of iron armor that was victorious in every battle was like a gigantic giant spear, rushing towards Cao Jun's infantry formation.

    Five hundred steps

    Four hundred steps

    Three hundred steps

    The fierce momentum only made the elite soldiers of Cao's army change their colors.

    But General Cao, a member of the army, had a face as calm as an icy lake.??ɽ.

    Facing the rolling tide of Yan Jun¡¯s cavalry, a sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Huang¡¯s mouth.

    "The Prime Minister has quite the truth. Yan Liang really sent Qingqi to rob Shunyang. Hmph, if the Prime Minister hadn't given the order first, I, Xu Huang, would definitely compete with you."

    While thinking about it, Yan Jun¡¯s cavalry had already rushed a hundred steps away.

    Xu Huang gritted his teeth, with a livid face, and shouted loudly: "The whole army retreats"

    After giving the order, Xu Huang turned his horse around and retreated in the direction of Shunyang.

    As soon as the flag of the Chinese army moved, the morale of Cao's army, who was waiting in formation, was greatly reduced. Four thousand people dispersed and fled in embarrassment towards Shunyang.

    Seeing the enemy troops retreating, Wen Chou couldn't help but have an even more ferocious sneer on his face.

    "The infantry met the cavalry and retreated before the battle. This Xu Huang turns out to be a loser. Let me see where you are going."

    Wen Chou's fighting spirit became more intense. He called to the knights behind him and chased the retreating Cao army.

    The cavalry was rolling and moving like the wind. When Fang chased out, Wen Chou's leading cavalry had already caught up to the rear of the defeated army.

    The blade slashed down and the spear tip thrust out, mercilessly killing the enemies who were running away. In just a blink of an eye, more than a hundred people were killed.

    The three thousand divine knights were like hungry beasts, chasing the escaping prey crazily.

    Unconsciously, Wen Chou had chased him for several miles. The wilderness terrain gradually disappeared, and dense forests appeared on the left and right.

    At this moment, Xu Huang, who had been running away, suddenly turned his horse's hooves, swung his giant ax horizontally, and fearlessly blocked the middle of the road.
