Comprehensive comic: The Demon King from Another World returns to daily life!

On the other side, after Wenpin led an army of 20,000 people to cross the Yangtze River and go south, they traveled day and night. Instead of going to Linyuan, they came to Hanshou.

Wenpin's idea was very simple: to control Hanshou first to prevent anyone from tipping off Jin Xuan and others.

An army of 20,000 soldiers marched to Hanshou. Hanshou's city was not very tall, and there were not many defenders in the city.

Therefore, the county magistrate of Hanshou was very aware of current affairs and immediately opened the city gate to welcome Wenpin's army into the city.

At this time, it had only been two days since Jin Xuan and his three men left with their army.

After taking control of Hanshou, Wenpin sent people to Linyuan to contact Gong Zhi and others.

Gong Zhi and Han Shang learned that Wenpin had led an army to capture Hanshou, and immediately went to meet with Wenpin to discuss what to do next.

Originally, Wenpin wanted to follow Liu Jue's order to block the retreat of Jin Xuan and others in Zishui.

However, Wenpin has always been brave and resourceful. After careful consideration, he felt that the three prefecture governors each raised 10,000 troops. At this time, there should not be too many garrison troops in Quanling and Chen counties.

We can just take advantage of this opportunity to capture Quanling and Chenxian first, and also secure Liu Du and Zhao Fan's lair, leaving these three people with no place to go if they want to run away.

After a day of repairs in Hanshou, Wenpin left five hundred soldiers in Hanshou, while the rest of the army rushed towards Zishui.

In less than a day, Wenpin arrived at Zishui and ordered his generals to capture Yiyang first, while also being responsible for the retreat of Jin Xuan and others.

Wenpin himself led nine thousand soldiers and horses, carrying a few days of dry food, and headed towards Quanling in light clothing.

Wenpin chose to turn a blind eye to some county towns on the road. Fortunately, the Jingnan area was vast and sparsely populated, and there were not many cities, so he was able to bypass them.

On the fifth day, Wenpin finally arrived twenty miles outside Quanling City.

Wenpin was not in a hurry to advance, but ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot, eat some dry food to replenish their strength, and at the same time sent spies to inquire about the situation in Quanling City.

Half an hour later, the spy came back and reported:"General, there are not many guards in Quanling City, and they are not very strict. Even the city gates are wide open."

Wenpin sneered, seeing that the soldiers had rested enough, he immediately He raised his troops and headed towards Quanling.

At this time, Quanling City was guarded by Liu Du's son Liu Xian, who led two thousand troops.

The south of the Yangtze River is not as war-torn as the north. The four counties of Jingnan and other places are even more barbaric places in people's eyes, and there are almost no wars.

Therefore, Liu Xian had been drinking and having fun every day for these days, and he was so unhappy that he didn't care at all about defending the city.

The soldiers on the top of the city also looked relaxed, with no alert look on their faces.

This is of course because there has been no war in Lingling for too long, but also because this time an army of 80,000 besieged Liu Jue. Many people felt that Liu Jue was bound to lose.

So when Wenpin arrived five miles outside Quanling City, he was discovered by the soldiers guarding the city. He immediately closed the city gate in a hurry and went to report to Liu Xian.

When Liu Xian heard the report from his subordinates, his face was full of disbelief. He was sober from the drunkenness. After putting on his armor in a hurry, he hurried to the city.

He saw a neat army outside the city, about 10,000 people, with the word"文" written on the flag, which made Liu Xian's heart skip a beat.

Among the generals in Jingzhou, who had the surname Wen, Liu Xian naturally thought of Wenpin.

"Wenpin is here with his army, right?"Liu Xian swallowed hard, and the drink he just drank turned into cold sweat.

Liu Xian didn't even think about it, and immediately called the manager Huo Kuang and the bookkeeper Ding You to discuss countermeasures.

"Gentlemen, now that Wenpin has arrived with an army, how should we resist? There are only two thousand people in the city!"Liu Xian finally realized that he was anxious.

Huo Kuang and Ding You also changed their expressions, but they still remained calm on the surface.

Ding You coughed lightly and said,"Young master, don't worry. Although we are outnumbered now, we are still outnumbered. Quanling is also a tall city. If we are determined to defend it, the enemy may not be able to break through the city. Huo

Kuang also nodded and said:"Yes, and the other party came from afar, but we are waiting for work. If the young master is supervising the formation at the top of the city, is there any reason why we can't defend Quanling?""

Liu Xian's abilities are average and he has no judgment ability. When he heard the manager and the chief clerk say this, he felt much more at ease.

"Yes, although there are only two thousand soldiers, with the tall city of Quanling, they will definitely be able to block the opponent. Liu

Xian nodded, and then said:"I just don't know what's going on with my father. Doesn't it mean that the troops from the three counties gathered in Hanshou can prevent Xiangyang's troops from going south?""

Ding You stroked his beard and said with a smile:"The other party wants to attack the three county offices so that the prefect and others will be in chaos. We must not let the other party get their wish. As long as the governor's side wins a complete victory, the enemy forces outside the city will retreat without a fight."

"What Master Ding said is true."Liu Xian heard that it made sense.

Outside the city, Wenpin saw that the gate of Quanling was closed tightly. He was about to ask his soldiers to attack the city, but at this moment he had a plan in mind and immediately told one of his deputies to let him go. They did as they were told.

The adjutant accepted the order happily and quickly ordered a thousand soldiers and horses to convey what Wenpin said so that the soldiers would remember it firmly.

"I have memorized everything I just said, and you will shout loudly together for a while, as loud as you want."The adjutant said with a straight face.

"Here!"The soldiers responded loudly.

After a while, the adjutant led the soldiers and approached Quanling City. Liu Xian and others on the top of the city looked at it, and their hearts tightened. They were still a hundred steps away from the city wall. At that moment, the thousand soldiers stopped and started shouting in unison towards Quanling City

"The defenders in the city are all listening. The rebels have been defeated by Liu Jue, the governor of Jiangxia. The governors of the three counties have surrendered. If you open the city and surrender as soon as possible, Lord Zhou Mu will not care about your sins. If we continue to resist, when our army breaks through the city, we will kill all officials regardless of their rank."

The voices of these thousand soldiers were loud, not to mention the people at the top of Quanling City, and even the people in the city could hear them. The faces of the soldiers in Quanling City changed, and Liu Xian even turned pale, and his head felt A moment of dizziness

"How can it be! How can it be! The 80,000-strong army was actually defeated, and my father... also……"Liu Xian muttered to himself, with a look of horror on his face.

Besieging Liu Jue, capturing him, and then attacking Jiangxia became very ridiculous in Liu Xian's eyes.

Liu Xian had no choice but to look at Ding You and Huo Kuang and asked,"Two gentlemen, now that the 80,000-strong army in front has been defeated, what should we do?"

Ding You saw that Liu Xian's expression was wrong and said quickly:"Master, don't panic. , This must be Wenpin's plan. According to my estimation, the prefect and the others are not defeated at this moment, but Liu Jue may not be able to hold on anymore." Liu Xian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he grabbed Ding You's clothes. Xiu said,"Does Master Ding really mean what he said?"

"Of course, the prefect and his army have 80,000 troops. How can they be defeated so easily?"Ding You looked very calm, even with a confident smile.

"Hahaha, Chief Ding is absolutely right. Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise I would have almost been fooled."Liu Xian laughed and wiped the cold sweat on his head.

Huo Kuang also wiped the cold sweat and said with a face full of shame:"Such a trivial trick almost deceived us, but it made you laugh, Brother Ding."

"The other party is treacherous, so it’s okay to be fooled for a while."Ding You looked at Liu Xian and Huo Kuang's appearance, and couldn't help feeling proud.
