After Sun Ce captured Xiling, he immediately ordered his army to repair it.

At the same time, Sun Ce called Zhou Yu to discuss the next offensive route.

"Gong Jin, now that we have captured Xiling, should we go all the way west to attack Nanjun or go north to Nanyang to join forces with the Wei army?"

"My lord, although we have reached an alliance agreement with King Wei, we belong to different camps after all. Instead of attacking Nanyang with the Wei army, it is better to focus on the direction of Nanjun."

Sun Ce saw that Zhou Yu did not advocate going north, so he immediately decided to go west to attack Nanjun.

Later, Sun Ce left Han Dang behind, while Ding and Feng were stationed in Xiling.

And he himself led the infantry to the west.

As for Zhou Yu, he led the navy to continue up the Yangtze River.

After the Soochow Army left Xiling County, Xue Li, who was stationed in Xiangyang, received an urgent report that he was coming to protect the child.

When Xue Li learned that the Wu army had captured Xiling, he was shocked because Xiling was the gateway to Jiangxia. Now that Xiling is lost, the Wu army can continuously enter Jiangxia.

Xue Li felt that the matter was serious and could no longer sit still in Xiangyang.

Immediately, Xue Li led 18,000 people to support Jiangxia County.

Xue Li, the remaining 2,000 men, was handed over to Hao Zhao to take charge of Xiangyang.

After Xue Li led his troops and left Xiangyang, Cao's army in Biyang County finally took action because Cao Ren had already learned about the Wu army's capture of Xiling.

After receiving the news, Cao Ren immediately summoned Xun You, Yue Xi and Cai Yang.

As the three of them arrived, Cao Ren immediately told them the news that the Wu army had captured Xiling County.

Then, Cao Ren asked: "Everyone, now that the Wu army has made some achievements, we cannot continue to stay in Biyang County and stand still."

After hearing this, Xun You immediately said: "General Cao Ren, we really can't stand still any longer."

"Commander Xun, how do you think we should march next?"

"General Cao Ren, if the Wu army captures Xiling, then the Xia army in Xiangyang City will definitely go to Jiangxia for reinforcements. In this case, Nanyang County's troops will temporarily lose reinforcements. I thought we could divide our troops into two groups."

"Attack Xinye all the way to cut off Xiangyang City's reinforcement route to Wancheng, and attack Wancheng forcefully on the other way."

After Cao Ren thought about Xun You's plan carefully, he finally adopted it.

Immediately, Cao Ren ordered Cai Yang to lead 20,000 troops to attack Xinye, while he himself led Xun You, Yue Xi and 60,000 troops to march towards Wancheng.

After Cao's army was divided, Jin Yiwei quickly spread the news to Xinye City.

When Chang Sun Sheng learned that Cao's army was divided into two groups and began to march, he also sensed something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, Changsun Sheng immediately summoned Wei Yan, Zhang Xutuo and Xiang Chong.

When the three of them arrived, Chang Sun Sheng immediately said to the three of them: "Everyone, the Jinyiwei spies sent back the news that Cao Jun's troops stationed in Biyang County left the county in two groups. I think Cao Jun's move must be to attack Xinye and Wancheng.

."

Hearing what Changsun Sheng said, Wei Yan immediately responded: "General Changsun, in that case, let's go back to Wancheng to aid now!"

After hearing this, Changsun Sheng immediately said: "Although it is urgent to rush to the aid of Wancheng, Xinye County cannot allow any loss. I wonder which general is willing to stay and guard it?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yan immediately stood up and asked for help.

Changsun Sheng thought about it for a while but was worried about letting Wei Yan stay because he felt that Wei Yan was a little too high-spirited and could easily fall into a trap.

In the end, Changsun Sheng chose Xiang Chong.

"Chang Wen, you are quite brave. We still need your help to defend Wancheng. Let Xiang Xiaowei guard Xinye County!"

Wei Yan and Xiang Chong were surprised when they heard this, but they still agreed.

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Chong asked Zhang Sun Sheng for orders to keep Zhang Xutuo.

Because Changsun Sheng didn't know Zhang Xutuo's strength, he finally agreed without hesitation.

Finally, Changsun Sheng led Wei Yan and 30,000 troops back to Wancheng, while Xiang Chong and Zhang Xutuo led 10,000 troops to station in Xinye.

It only took two days for Changsun Sheng to return to Wancheng with Wei Yan.

At this time, 20,000 troops led by Cai Yang also arrived at Xinye City.

When Xiang Chong and Zhang Xutuo on the city tower saw the Wei army appear, they immediately began to set up defenses.

Besides, when Cai Yang led his troops to arrive at Xinye City, he immediately rode out and shouted toward the city tower: "People in the city, listen, I am Cai Yang, the general of the Wei army. Today I have been ordered to come and attack this city. You all."

If you know the truth, you can surrender obediently to the city. If not, don't blame me for being blind."

Hearing Cai Yang's nonsense, Zhang Xutuo immediately responded with disdain: "Wu is a traitor general. If you want to fight, you will fight. Why do you need to say more?"

When Cai Yang heard Zhang Xutuo's shouting, he was very angry.

"Hey! Don't you want to show off your words? If you have the guts, go out of the city and fight me for 300 rounds?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xutuo said to Xiang Chong: "Xiang Xiaowei, it seems that the Wei army leader who is attacking Xinye can only show off his bravery. I only need to use a little trick to defeat this army."

"What's Captain Zhang's clever plan?"

"Xiang Xiaowei, from what I see, the enemy general outside the city has been provoked today. He will definitely raise his troops to attack the city tomorrow. At that time, I would like to ask Xiang Xiaowei to command the army on the city tower to defend the city. I will bring eight hundred troops with me.

The elite troops came out from the south gate to attack the enemy's main formation."

After listening to Zhang Xutuo's words, Xiang Chong said with some worry: "Colonel Zhang, do you plan to capture the thief first and capture the king first?"

"Exactly."

Xiang Chong thought about it for a while and then replied: "Colonel Zhang, I don't think this matter is urgent for the time being."

When Zhang Xutuo saw that Xiang Chong had rejected his proposal, he did not force it. After all, he had only been seeking refuge for a short period of time.

The next day.

Cai Yang was stimulated and actually launched an attack on Xinye County.

Xiang Chong and Zhang Xutuo immediately began to command the defense on the tower.

Although Xinye is a small city, Cai Yang's attack under the command of Zhang Xutuo and Xiang Chong was not effective.

After a day of fierce fighting, Cai Yang had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to camp.

At this time, Cao Ren's 60,000 troops finally arrived under Wancheng.

After Zhang Sun Sheng, who had already returned to the city, learned that the Wei army was approaching the city, he immediately took Wei Yan and Yan Yan to the tower to check.

Besides, after Cao Ren's troops came to the city, he immediately sent out soldiers to persuade them to surrender.

After Changsun Sheng heard the voices of Wei soldiers urging him to surrender, he immediately cursed.

When Cao Ren saw that the defenders in the city had no intention of surrendering, he sent General Yue Xi to challenge.

Yue Xi rode his horse to the city and immediately started shouting: "I am Yue Xi. I am here to attack the city on the order of the King of Wei. Who dares to go out of the city to fight me?"

After hearing Yue Xi's name, Yan Yan and Wei Yan were eager to give it a try.

Changsun Sheng saw this but stopped them because Yue Xi's name was now famous far and wide.

Yue Xi shouted for a while and when he found that no one was leaving the city, he immediately mounted his horse and took a few steps forward.

Then, Yue Xi laughed so loudly that there was no one in the city.

Wei Yan and Yan Yan were furious when they saw Yue Xi being so arrogant.

At this time, Changsun Sheng saw that the morale of the soldiers in the city was a little low, so he immediately ordered someone to fetch his treasured bow.

Then, Changsun Sheng drew his bow and arrow and shot an arrow at Yue Xi.

Just hearing a 'whoosh' sound, a sharp arrow flew directly towards Yue Xi.

Yue Xi was still laughing at the lack of people in the city, but when he saw a black dot coming straight towards him, he raised the Fangtian Painted Halberd in his hand to block it, but because of his slow reaction, the sharp arrow

After all, it still caused a scratch on him.
