About eighty miles away from Yangxin County, an army of more than 20,000 people was heading westward with flags waving, bright armor, and a huge momentum.

At the front of the team, Liu Bei rode on the horse, looking around, thinking in his heart.

"This is the first time Uncle Liu is fighting in the south!" Deputy General Wang Wei, who was standing beside him, said with a smile.

"Yes! It's very different from the north, with lakes and rivers everywhere, and it's not suitable for cavalry combat."

Liu Bei was very moved and smiled and said, "If the Cao army reaches Jiangnan, their advantage will not be very obvious. As long as the southern army works together to fight against Cao, I think it is not impossible to defeat Cao's army."

"I don't believe this sentence from others, but I believe it from Uncle Liu."

"Haha! It's over the award."

After pausing, Liu Bei asked again with a smile: "How much does Zhigong know about the rebel situation?"

"You know it well!"

Wang Wei explained to Liu Bei with a contemptuous smile on his face: "Zhang Wu, Chen Sun has only 3,000 formal troops. Although they have more than 10,000 troops now, most of them are temporarily recruited farmers. Perhaps there are some rogues and have no combat power. Uncle Liu doesn't have to worry. In fact, what we are more worried about in this battle is the Jiangdong Army."

Liu Bei nodded, "I am also worried about the Jiangdong Army, just because I am afraid that they will suddenly emerge from Yangxin County."

Wang Wei laughed, "Although this is possible, we only need to strengthen the spies and fully grasp the enemy's movements."

As the two were talking, Liu Jing rode up on a horse. In just two days, he completely learned to ride a horse and wait for excellence. Unfortunately, he rode an old horse and could not run a horse for a long distance. This is also a shortcoming.

"Young Master Jing, this is your first time participating in a battle! You feel that your master is very excited." Wang Wei asked with a smile.

"Something is right!"

Liu Jing and Liu Bei looked at each other, and both of them remembered the battle in Runan and couldn't help but smile.

"Uncle Emperor, I want to follow General Xiao Guan to patrol around. I wonder if it is allowed?"

Liu Jing's identity is not a formal soldier. He just fought with the army. To a large extent, Liu Biao wanted to hone his will. Wang Wei knew very well. Just as he was about to object, Liu Bei nodded and agreed, "Yes!"

Liu Jing was overjoyed and bowed immediately, "Thank you for your order!"

He turned his horse's head and ran back. Wang Wei shouted so hard that he looked at Liu Jing's back as he was leaving. He was very worried and said, "Uncle, he has no experience in war. Is it too dangerous to let him go to the patrol? What if something happens...?"

Liu Bei smiled slightly, "Young Master Jing is very smart and rational, and General Xiao Guan will take care of him."

Wang Wei was helpless. Liu Bei was the main general after all. Since the main general had agreed, it was useless for him to object. He had to sigh and look back at Liu Jing's back worriedly.

Liu Bei sent out three scouts, each with about a hundred scouts. The first team was led by Guan Ping, who was Guan Yu's adopted son. Everyone in the army called him General Guan Guan, who was about 20 years old and always had a cheerful smile, which was very different from his father's taciturn words.

Perhaps because of the difference between youth, Guan Ping and Liu Jing quickly became familiar with each other and talked about the truth together when they had nothing to do.

In Wuchang City, the two agreed that Liu Jing followed Guan Ping in this battle, but Guan Ping did not dare to make decisions without authorization, and he had to obtain the permission of the commander Liu Bei.

Guan Ping was about to set off, and he was visiting forward with a thug curtain. At this time, he saw Liu Jing, and a smile appeared on his face. He urged him to come forward and asked, "How is it, is the emperor correct?"

"Accurate!" Liu Jing replied excitedly.

Guan Ping laughed and waved his hand, "Let's go!"

He led Liu Jing and more than a hundred patrol scouts and rode his horse to the south.

The terrain near Yangxin County is a hilly area with undulating mountains, beautiful rocks and dense forests. Although it is early winter, large forests are still thick in shade and the flowing water is not frozen, like a jasper belt, winding among the mountains.

Although the scenery is beautiful, the population is very sparse. The population of Jiangxia County is mainly concentrated in the riverside areas of Chaisang, Wuchang and Xiakou.

Although Yangxin County has the largest jurisdiction area in Jiangxia County and several times that of Wuchang County, its population is less than 30% of that of Wuchang County.

Everyone ran for more than thirty miles, but had not met a single person yet. At this time, Guan Ping saw that Liu Jing was struggling to fight the horse, so he waved his hand. Everyone slowed down and stopped gradually.

"Young Master Jing, why don't I change your horse for you!" Guan Ping smiled.

Liu Jing knew that there were not many war horses in the army, and each war horse was loved by its owner as life. Although Liu Jing longed for a strong and good horse, he was unwilling to do what he loved.

This is his character brought by his previous life. Although he has traveled thousands of years, he still exists vigorously.

Liu Jing shook his head, "No need, after pacifying Zhang Wu and Chen Sun, I will find a way to get a good horse from the spoils."

Speaking of good horses, Guan Ping showed a look of respect in his eyes, "My father's horse is the best in the world, and even Cao Cao's claw Huang Feidian is not as good as that."

"Of course, Lu Bu is among men and Red Rabbit is among horses! I always think that except for your father, no one in the world is qualified to ride a Red Rabbit horse."

"Thank you, Mr. Jing, for your praise. If your father hears this, he will definitely look at the young master differently."

The two of them were talking and walking. At this time, several cavalrymen in front rushed over and immediately drove a woodcutter.

"Report to the general that the woodcutter discovered it in the woods ahead, and he seemed to know something."

The woodcutter got off his horse, stepped forward and knelt down, and said tremblingly: "Greetings to the general!"

"You don't have to be afraid, tell us what you know and let you go right away."

"yes!"

The woodcutter tried hard to search in his memory for things that the other party might be interested in. Soon, some tragic things made him angry and forgot the danger in front of him.

"I want to say that Zhang Wu and Chen Sun are really demons. Most of the young people in our village were captured by them, and women hid in the mountains. They would be caught by them a little slower, and they would be caught by them. There was also food. He snatched away all our food...."

Liu Jing was not interested in these things. He interrupted the woodcutter and asked, "We want to know, have you met Jiangdong soldiers in the past month?"

"I haven't seen it before!"

The woodcutter shook his head, "I must have never seen the Jiangdong soldiers. The last time I saw the Jiangdong army was two years ago."

Everyone asked a few more questions, and there was indeed nothing unusual, so they let the woodcutter go. Guan Ping pondered and said, "Although the woodcutter did not see the soldiers in Jiangdong, it does not mean that there is no one. Maybe he did not meet him. I think we should continue to patrol the south. What do you think Mr. Jing thinks?"

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "You are the leader of this scout, so of course you have the final say."

"Okay! Let's continue to patrol the south."

Guan Ping led everyone, speeding up the horse and running towards the mountains.

The next morning, Liu Bei led an army of 20,000 to Yangxin County. He stopped three miles away from the county town. The army quickly formed a formation. The 20,000 troops were covered with the light of swords and murderous intent.

Although Yangxin County has a vast territory, the county town is very small, and the city walls are short and dilapidated, the city gates are incomplete, and the military effect is not great, so it is not enough to defend against the attack of the army, and will hinder the army from escaping.

With the rumbling sound of war drums, Zhang Wu and Chen Sun's army went out of the city to fight, with about 9,000 troops. In addition to the slightly neat army of the three thousand central troops, the troops on both sides were incomplete and incomplete, holding all kinds of weapons, and even hoes and wooden sticks.

Zhang Wu and Chen Sun recruited nearly 10,000 troops not to fight against the Jingzhou army, but to a large extent to bargain as a capital for bargaining when surrendering to the Jiangdong army. With more than 10,000 troops in their hands, at least it would be no problem to become a general of the Central Army.

Unexpectedly, before the Jiangdong army arrived, the Jingzhou army came, and Zhang Wu and Chen Sun were both extremely uneasy.

Under a big flag, Zhang Wu secretly looked at the Jingzhou army a mile away. He had already received the news that it was Liu Bei who led his army to come, which made him even more worried.

But he did not dare to fight and flee without fighting. He abandoned the city and fled. You should know that defeat is completely different from fleeing without fighting. Being defeat can be said to be weak in strength, and running away means being cowardly, and Dongwu will not tolerate him.

"General Chen, go and take the lead!" Zhang Wu shouted loudly to Chen Sun not far away.

Chen Sun was about thirty years old, seven feet and five feet tall, with a tiger back and a bear waist, holding a three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand. He was weaker in the army than Zhang Wu. In the Eastern Wu side, Zhang Wu was also the main general and he was the deputy general.

Chen Sun was timid and did not dare to challenge him. He turned around and replied, "General Zhang, why not let others test the truth first. It's not too late for me to go into battle."

Zhang Wu ignored him and shouted loudly to the soldiers: "Beat the drum and cheer for General Chen!"
