    Outside the city of Xiangyang, everything was silvery white, the sound of waves in the Xiangjiang River could not be heard, and the entire Jingshan Mountain seemed very quiet.

    Liu Bei's army set up a total of more than twenty camps, which were distributed in an organized manner.  Even though it was snowing heavily, there were still crossbowmen standing on the arrow towers outside the camp gate. Liu Feng was leading a group of soldiers to patrol the camp.

    In the handsome tent, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked very dull inside.  Liu Bei was looking at a map, while Zhuge Liang was looking at the battle reports coming from various places, sometimes frowning, sometimes shaking his head and sighing.

    Guan Yu attacked Guiyang and lost more than a thousand troops.  Zhang Fei attacked Lingling and lost more than 800 soldiers and horses. He went to rob Huang Zhong's camp at night. As a result, Huang Zhong was prepared and lost nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses.

    And after Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei personally led the army to the outside of Xiangyang City, he guessed that Pang Tong was in Liu Cong's army!

    No wonder Liu Cong was able to predict the time to capture Nanjun and Xiangyang so accurately. It turned out that Pang Tong was beside him to give him advice!

    It¡¯s just that he doesn¡¯t know where Liu Cong was during the time he disappeared?  Why do you suddenly have so many soldiers and horses?  Pang Tong is just a counselor, there is no way he can recruit troops for Liu Cong!

    However, now that Pang Tong is in Xiangyang, and Fancheng has Wang Wei to support him, any of his strategies are useless. But if he wants to attack the city by force, Xiangyang City is strong, let alone his less than 20,000 troops.  Even if there are 50,000 people, they can't break it.

    He couldn't understand why Pang Tong would defect to Liu Cong. It was because Liu Cong had the status of a clan member of the Han Dynasty. If so, he should have defected long ago. In today's troubled times, a person with such status may not necessarily be the right person.  Lords of the Ming Dynasty, such as Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou.  In the past, he was worried that Pang Tong would defect to Jiangdong, so he introduced him to his lord Liu Bei in advance, but his lord did not listen to his words.

    He knows Pang Tong¡¯s talents best. When it comes to marching and fighting, Pang Tong is not as good as him when it comes to regular troops, but when it comes to surprise troops, he is not as good as Pang Tong. If the two of them can cooperate, one of them will be truly invincible.

    Liu Cong is a playboy and a dandy. Why would Pang Tong, such an arrogant person, join Liu Cong?  He really couldn't understand.

    But since Pang Tong had already surrendered to Liu Cong, Liu Cong took the opportunity to take advantage of Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi to occupy Nanjun and Xiangyang.

    But there are other places in Jingzhou!  This time their goal is actually the four counties of Jingnan and Zhangling. With the land of these five counties, plus Jiangxia, they can compete with Liu Cong. At the same time, they are gathering strength to prepare for Yizhou and Hanzhong.

    Who would have thought?  Liu Cong also took the lead in the four counties of Jingnan. What was even more difficult for him to understand was that Deng Ai of Zhangling was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he actually defended the city so impregnably that Zhao Yun was unable to do anything.

    Coupled with the unfavorable nature of God, this heavy snowfall has actually declared that their dispatch of troops this time has been a complete failure.

    Zhuge Liang felt that he was so confused that he couldn't calm down and think about the problem. People like Liu Cong, Pang Tong, Ma Liang, Huo Jun, Deng Ai, etc. kept showing up. Nanjun, Xiangyang, Zhangling, Lingling, Wuling, etc.  The names such as Guiyang and Changsha also kept changing, making it impossible for him to connect them together. This feeling was something he had never felt before.

    "Kong Ming, it snows heavily today, the soldiers cannot attack the city, and there is a lack of cold clothes in the military camp. What should we do next?" Liu Bei finally spoke.

    "My lord, for the present plan, we have no choice but to withdraw our troops." Zhuge Liang put back his chaotic thoughts. He understood that Liu Bei wanted to withdraw his troops. "We will withdraw to Jiangxia and let the soldiers rest for a few months before moving to Jingzhou."

    "Okay, Kong Ming, give the order! At the same time, tell Yun Chang, Yide and Zilong to withdraw their troops as well!"

    "No!"

    Zhuge Liang immediately issued several orders to send soldiers to various places, and Chen Dao and Liu Feng also began to set up camp.

    Because of the snow, Liu Bei's army retreated very slowly. They started preparing in the morning and did not leave Xiangyang until the afternoon.

    "Military advisor, Liu Bei is withdrawing so slowly, do you want to pursue him?" Liu Pan looked at the slowly moving army outside the city and asked Pang Tong.

    "Kong Ming is leaving, but he still wants to use a trick on us!" Pang Tong said with a smile.

    "What, is this Zhuge Liang's plan?" Liu Pan was a little surprised.

    "After half an hour, you will naturally understand and send someone to inform the lord that you can return to Xiangyang now!" After Pang Tong said that, he turned around and walked down the tower.

    Liu Pan waited quietly for half an hour on top of the city, but did not notice any movement outside the city. When he was about to leave the city, suddenly several snowdrifts in the distance collapsed, and a man came out of them.  There are three thousand soldiers in the team,Yu Pan stretched out his tongue in shock, almost staying there.

    "Zhuge Kongming, he really has unpredictable abilities!" It took a long time before Liu Pan said this.

    If Pang Tong had not warned him, he would definitely have led his troops to pursue him. After being besieged in the city for so many days, the enemy did not attack the city, but kept sending soldiers to attack the enemy. Even an ordinary person would have been furious.  , not to mention that he was once the most brave general in Jingzhou!  How can I bear this anger?

    If the generals outside the city were Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others, he would still be a little worried, but that is Liu Feng!

    He knew Liu Feng well. He was originally the son of Luohou Kou of Changsha County and Liu Bi's nephew. He was adopted as an adopted son by Liu Bei and renamed Liu Feng.

    When Liu Pan fought against Tai Shici in Changsha, Liu Feng was just a small soldier, but now he dared to challenge him.  Now that he had such a good opportunity, how could he not pursue it?

    But if you chase them out and get entangled by the enemy, and the soldiers hiding in the snow suddenly burst out, the result can be imagined.

    Due to the heavy snowfall, Liu Bei's four armies all withdrew to Jiangxia one after another, and Zhou Yu outside Nanjun City had no choice but to withdraw his troops. The war in the south that had lasted for a year finally calmed down when the New Year was about to come.

    After hundreds of thousands of troops went through a great battle, people were surprised to find that the previous pattern had not changed at all. Cao Cao was still in the north, Sun Quan was still in Jiangdong, but the Jingzhou governor changed from Liu Biao to Liu Cong now.

    Now Liu Cong owns the land of seven counties in Jingzhou, but there are still too few talents under his command. Fortunately, Ma Liang introduced him to several more talents to meet his urgent needs.

    Xiang Lang from Yicheng has always been on good terms with Ma Liang. After Cao Cao went south, he resigned and returned home. Now, after being recommended by Ma Liang, he became the prefect of Nanjun. Gong Zhi was promoted by Liu Cong to be the prefect of Changsha. Ma Liang's younger brother Ma Su,  He became the captain of Changsha, and Xiang Chong, Xiang Lang's nephew, became the captain of Guiyang.

    Liu Ba is temporarily appointed as the captain of Wuling, and Deng Ai is temporarily appointed as the governor of Zhangling.

    After all these arrangements were made, Liu Cong led five thousand troops and returned to Xiangyang with Huang Zhong and Wei Yan.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
