    The voice sounded familiar to Huo Jun. Looking carefully, he saw that the centurion was exceptionally strong, with a dark and rosy complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of energy. He recognized it immediately.

    "Niu Jin, it's you!"

    "Zhong Miao, it's me! Why are you here?"

    Niu Jin is from Nanyang, Jingzhou. He and Huo Jun were both soldiers in Jingzhou and were in the same military camp.

    Niu Jin is a descendant of Niu Chong, a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Huo Jun is also a descendant of a Jingzhou family. Both of them are highly skilled in martial arts and are familiar with military books and strategies. They also have the same ambition, which is to be a general who can command thousands of troops. Therefore,  Become friends quickly.

    Unfortunately, due to bad luck, Liu Biao valued literature over military affairs. In the military camp, they had no chance of getting ahead.

    Huo Jun now follows Liu Cong, and his ambition has been rewarded. However, after the Jingzhou soldiers were absorbed by Cao Jun, Niu Jin was still just a centurion, and he was the centurion guarding the prefect's mansion. In today's terms, he was just a security captain, and  His dream of becoming a general was too far off.

    "Niu Jin, Cao Cao has been defeated. Now Nanjun City has been recaptured by my lord Liu Cong. I have now led five thousand soldiers and horses. My lord has a keen eye and is a talent-based leader. With your talents, you will definitely become the leader of the army.  General!"

    "Liu Cong, are you the second young master?"

    "Exactly! I will tell you the specific situation later. Now let's go to the city head."

    "good!"

    The soldiers under Niu Jin's command are also Jingzhou soldiers, so surrendering to Huo Jun does not count as surrender.

    Huo Jun arranged for a hundred soldiers to take over the prefect's mansion, and then he and Niu Jin came to the top of the west gate and quickly deployed to defend the city.

    Cao Ren is a good defensive general. There are many defensive equipment on the top of the city. Huo Jun only needs to arrange the corresponding soldiers into reasonable positions.

    After everything was arranged, he briefly explained the affairs between General Niu Jin, Liu Cong and himself.

    After hearing this, Niu Jin's eyes widened even more. If he hadn't known Huo Jun, he knew that Huo Jun was a rigorous person and would never exaggerate. Otherwise, why would he not believe it?

    ¡°In fact, not to mention Niu Jin, even Huo Jun himself would not believe that Liu Cong had such great courage, such great ambition and such far-reaching vision if he had not seen it with his own eyes and experienced it with his own eyes.

    "How about it, can my lord be the hero of the world? Are you willing to serve?"

    "Zhong Miao, I am a minister of Jingzhou. How can I surrender? From now on, I will fight on the battlefield for the lord, and I will not hesitate to die!"

    "Okay!" Huo Jun was happy for Niu Jin from the bottom of his heart, because he knew that the current lord Liu Cong was employing people, and Niu Jin would definitely be reused.

    At this moment, there was a scattered sound of horse hooves and footsteps in the distance. Not long after, a group of soldiers and horses appeared under the city.

    It was Cao Jun who came, and Cao Ren was at the front.

    Cao Ren led five thousand soldiers and horses and quickly drove back the soldiers who surrounded Cao Cao. When he saw Cao Cao and the main generals and counselors there, Cao Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, when they arrived at the gate of Nanjun City, Cao Ren felt a little  wrong.

    When he left, the city was already empty, and there were only a hundred soldiers left in the entire Nanjun City. But now, he found a dense group of soldiers standing on top of the city, and the city gate was closed.

    "Hurry, open the city gate!" Cao Ren shouted from the bottom of the city.

    "Ha" A burst of laughter came out, and soon after, Huo Jun appeared on the top of the city, "Cao Ren, I have been capturing Nanjun for a long time under the orders of my lord!"

    Fell into a trap!

    Cao Ren immediately understood that he had fallen into the opponent's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He became angry and was about to order an attack on the city when suddenly there was a cry of killing from behind.

    "Kill! Capture Cao Cao alive!"

    "Whoever catches Cao Cao will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins!"

    "No, the enemy is coming!"

    Cao Ren immediately urged his horse to come to Cao Cao. For him, the most important thing now was to protect Cao Cao's safety.

    "My lord, although the enemy army is small in number, we cannot be reluctant to fight. If the soldiers and horses in Nanjun City come out again, then we will be in danger. We should withdraw to Xiangyang now." Xun You said to Cao Cao.

    "What do you think Wen He?" Cao Cao asked Jia Xu again.

    "Gongda's words make sense, my lord must make a quick decision!"

    "Okay, Zixiao, send the order for the army to withdraw to Xiangyang!"

    "No!"

    At dawn, Cao Cao's army of about 6,000 people retreated in front, while Liu Cong led 5,000 soldiers and horses in pursuit leisurely.

    How many times have CaoThey wanted to stop and fight the pursuers, but the distance was too far, and they did not dare to waste time. More importantly, they did not know where the soldiers chasing them came from or whose soldiers they belonged to.  Here, the most taboo thing about fighting is not knowing who the other party is.

    Finally, at noon, they entered the territory of Xiangyang. Cao Ren's army was still in good spirits, but the soldiers and generals who had fled here with Cao Cao were extremely exhausted by this time.

    "My lord, we have entered the territory of Xiangfan. The soldiers are really tired. Why don't we recuperate?" Xu Huang said to Cao Cao when he saw the white breath coming out of the horse's mouth and its legs trembling a little.

    "Gongming said yes, my lord, let the soldiers trim it!" Zhang Liao was also so tired that he could hardly hold the sword.

    "Zixiao, please send an order to the army to repair it on the spot!"

    "No!"

    But God seemed to be specifically against Cao Cao. As soon as the soldiers dismounted, a cry of killing came from the front. Not long ago, a group of soldiers and horses came out slowly, but they did not rush to kill, they just formed a formation.  Shi, blocking Cao Jun's way.

    "Where are the troops and horses ahead?" Cao Cao asked in surprise.

    "My lord, they didn't display any flags, but judging from their formation, they are enemies rather than friends!" Le Jin looked melancholy.

    In fact, everyone could see clearly that the opponent had a total of five thousand soldiers and horses, and they had set up a strong defensive formation. The crossbowmen, spearmen, and sword and shield soldiers cooperated in an orderly manner and were very stable. It was obvious that they were coming for them.  .

    If you forcefully charge into the formation, you may not be able to break through even if you lose many soldiers and horses!

    At this time, the five thousand soldiers and horses behind slowly caught up. Like the soldiers in front, they still did not charge and formed a solid defensive formation.

    "My lord, they want to surround us. They will continue to use the strategy of driving the tiger away from the mountain. They will wait for Yu Wenze in Xiangyang City to send out troops, and then capture Xiangyang City." Xun You looked at the soldiers on both sides and said helplessly.

    "But" Zhang Liao hesitated, because in this situation, if Yu Jin in Xiangyang City does not send troops, then they will never be able to rush out, because the opponent has ten thousand people, and they are fighting defensively, occupying favorable terrain.  There are more than 6,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact, the number of soldiers capable of fighting is only 5,000, and there is no cavalry.

    "Lord, now we need to find out who is besieging us?" Jia Xu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke today.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
