Liu Pan asked Zhang Yun for an answer.

"The enemy is strong and our army is weak. Of course, we must be careful not to advance rashly, so as not to be exploited by the enemy. Wouldn't the loss be the same as us?"

Zhang Yun said very casually.

He was also quite casual, eating and drinking in the military camp, and even took the dancer to dance for him. The group of generals around him watched the dancer dancer dance with drunken eyes.

Is this here to fight?

The soldiers are living and dead in the front half of their lives, and the beauty still sings and dances in the tent!

This is the act of scum!

Liu Pan was a little annoyed and said loudly: "Envoy Liu ordered us to attack with all our might and capture Runan County and Yingchuan County. Why didn't the general attack? Why didn't he execute Liu's orders?"

Zhang Yun slapped the table and said annoyedly: "Aren't I attacking? When did you see that I stopped attacking? Also, I want to tell you, Liu Pan, don't think you can do whatever you want if you are the nephew of the envoy!

In the military camp, I am the commander, you are my general, you have to obey the orders! Otherwise, even if I kill you, no one can say anything, do you understand?"

Liu Pan was furious, his face turned red when he was angry, and he left with his hand.

Zhang Yun drove Liu Pan away, cursed with disdain for a while, and continued to drink, and continued to have fun with his confidants. He hugged the dancer and laughed endlessly. There was a scene of demons dancing in the big tent.

Liu Pan rushed out of the camp angrily and met his former subordinate Huang Zhong outside the camp.

Huang Zhong followed Liu Biao very early. He is one of the oldest generals in Jingzhou. He is over forty years old, and is still very brave and powerful. He eats a lot of meat and eats. He is generous and is very popular in the army.

This time, when he was in the northern expedition to Runan, Liu Biao asked Huang Zhong to go with the army. Liu Pan thought that Huang Zhong could lead the army to attack and give the Wei army a little color, but Huang Zhong told Liu Pan that his duty was to protect the camp, not to lead the army to attack.

"In this Northern Expedition, Zhong's duty is to protect the camp rather than advance."

Huang Zhong said helplessly: "General Zhang made such arrangements, and Zhong was powerless to do anything, so he could only abide by the orders."

Liu Pan was very angry.

"He is not fighting at all, he is completely passive to avoid war. He is very afraid of Guo Zifeng and dare not fight with Guo Zifeng. Such a person commands the entire army and doesn't want to fight this battle at all! No, I want to submit a message to tell the envoy to remove his position!"

Liu Pan decided to write a letter to tell Liu Biao, asking Liu Biao to remove Zhang Yun and replace him to lead the war, so that there can be a better situation to look forward to.

As a result, when he was writing the letter, Zhang Yun found out about the news. Zhang Yun broke into his camp and had a big fight with him. In the end, Zhang Yun was so angry that he had no choice but to promise that Liu Pandu leads his army to attack Langling County.

Liu Pan gave up, snorted, lit up a army of troops, and led his army to attack Langling County.

"The enemy is good at fighting! You must be careful! Don't advance in absurd way!"

Before he sent troops, Zhang Yun reminded him in front of many people.

Liu Pan curled his lips and took it seriously. He got on the horse and led his troops away.

Langling County is one of the more important counties in the southern part of Runan County, but because Zhang Yun's main attack direction this time was to attack Wufang County from Wuyin County, Langling County was not within the attack range. Liu Pan wanted to lead an army alone to attack here and open the defense line in the southern part of Runan County so that he could drive straight in.

Liu Pan was very confident in himself and led the five thousand Changsha headquarters to launch an attack on Langling County. He did advance straight into Runan County, without encountering the obstruction of the Wei army.

Liu Pan was not confused about this, because he did come with the idea of ​​a surprise attack. While the main force of the Runan Wei army was restrained by Zhang Yun, he wanted to find another way, detour the hinterland of the Wei army, raid the Wei army from behind, and defeat the main force of the Runan Wei army in one fell swoop.

Then he was ambushed by the main force of the Wei army without any surprise.

Guo Lie led 5,000 infantry and cavalry to ambush Liu Pan halfway. Liu Pan's army was not prepared for this. When the Wei army suddenly came out, Liu Pan was still ordering the army to bury pots and make rice, log wood to establish camps.

It was very sudden. The Wei army came out and the attack was very fierce as soon as it came out. Thousands of arrows were fired at once, and the iron cavalry was scattered.

Liu Pan was caught off guard and was successfully attacked by Guo Lie. The 5,000 Changsha soldiers in his army were in chaos and could not fight to the death. So after a series of killings, the entire army was wiped out and more than 2,000 people were killed. The rest were basically captured, with only about 100 people escaping by chance.

Liu Pan himself fought to escape, but was chased by Guo Lie and his personal guards, and he stabbed Liu Pan to death with a spear.

The news of Liu Pan's tragic death was quickly passed back to Zhang Yun's military camp through these defeated soldiers. Zhang Yun looked shocked and quickly reported the matter to Liu Biao.

It is said that the Wei army is strong, and they face the risk of being defeated by the Wei army. The morale of the army is in chaos and they request to withdraw.

In the report, he added fuel to the fire and said that Liu Pan did not obey the orders of the general and did not obey the dissuasion. He insisted on taking his chief Changsha troops to attack Langling County, leaving the establishment of the large army, resulting in being defeated by the Wei army and being killed on the battlefield.

Anyway, Zhang Yun had a little mistake, but he was not a serious mistake, but this was obviously not the main factor.

After Liu Biao learned about this, he was very shocked and sad, crying for the death of his good nephew, but he didn't know who to blame.

Is it Zhang Yun’s fault?

Obviously, it cannot be blamed entirely on Zhang Yun, because this was what Liu Pan himself took the initiative to attack. At most, Zhang Yun would be even less strict in control. If he had to severely punish Zhang Yun for this, he would probably not be convinced.

Taking this opportunity, a large number of civil and military officials persuaded Liu Biao to withdraw his troops. The morale of the front line was already in chaos. If the battle continued, it would be a bad opportunity to be counterattacked by the Wei army to Nanyang County. By that time, it would be no more than the loss.

Liu Biao was already confused and had no choice but to withdraw his troops unwillingly, and he retreated to Nanyang and continued to guard the city tightly and not to fight.

Zhang Yunru received a general amnesty and led her troops back to Wancheng, ending this ridiculous Northern Expedition.

Liu Biao's offensive failed with internal and external cooperation, and lost his troops and abandoned many supplies and horses. This happened in mid-September.

Until this time, only the only princes left in the Three Prefectures Alliance were still advancing to fight, that was Sun Ce and Sun Bofu.

It is also the most threatening road.

Sun Ce basically marched at the same time as Liu Biao, and the army took a boat and divided into three groups.

The huge inland watercraft fleet ignored the wolf-smoking beacon tower set up by the Wei army by the river, and swaggered and drove across the Yangtze River as if nothing had happened, entering the Ruxu River, and entering the boundary of the north of the Yangtze River.

From here on, Sun Ce's navy was actually unobstructed and could not be stopped at all.

They had previously thought that Guo Peng's army could not stop them on the waterway, and the only way was to Hefei, and Sun Ce's first goal was Hefei.

I arrived north along the river and arrived in Hefei. As long as Hefei took it, Jiujiang would basically get it.

After Sun Ce's fleet crossed Lujiang County and entered Chaohu Lake along the Ruxu Water, the partial army led by Cheng Pu also entered the Ruxu Waterway and set its target on Lujiang County itself.

Cheng Pu led his army to disembark in a suitable place and landed, and began to arrange troops to set up camps, lay a solid foundation, and cover the remaining troops to land. At this time, a scout came to report and said that the Wei army was approaching in front.

Cheng Pu nodded and immediately ordered the landing to form a formation of more than 10,000 troops.

General Jiang Qin and Ling Cao led their respective troops to form formations on the ground, with their backs against the waterways and ships in the waterways, raised large shields and spears. The crossbowmen on the tall building ships were all filled with people and were ready to attack the approaching Wei army at any time.

Soon, Cheng Pu completed the gathering of the military formation and saw a large area of ​​Wei troops slowly approaching.
Chapter completed!
