Sima Yi made a report, "There are few people in Shu, and Zhuge Liang, when Chen Long came here, he would have to raise troops that would scatter the country, and he would consume no food or grass every day, so we do not need to be able to see the edge. We should guard the important roads of the pass and not be able to go out. After a long time, Shu will be unable to supply them. Only if the two of them were in charge of their troops retreated, and they would be able to win the battle at that time."

After hearing this, Cao Pi remembered Fancheng again, so he happily accepted Sima Yi's advice and ordered Sima Yi to be appointed as the general of the cavalry Yong, Liang and others to go to Luoyang to resist Zhuge Liang; the general of the above army, Cao Zhen, led Runan and Nanyang to resist Chenlong, and then sent Cao Xiu to Xuzhou to guard against the Eastern Wu going north.

So, the Northland prepared again and set off a large army of hundreds of thousands of troops to fight in three groups. The Northland, which had just been recuperating for a while, was again in a turmoil. Countless young and strong men were conquered as civilians, assisting the army in transporting food, grass and weapons. Countless wives held their clothes and stamped their feet and blocked their feet and cried, and their crying sounded up to the sky.

Especially in Runan and Nanyang, when Cao Pi attacked Fancheng, he exhausted the people's strength in these two places. After the war, many fugitives went south and now they have launched a large army again. Countless people are shy of fear when they hear this. The previous battle has left countless land abandoned. Now they are fighting again, how can they still have a way out?

Chen Long had long expected this. He asked Deng Ai to arrange elites and others to sneak into Runan and Nanyang, and lead the local people to flee to Jingzhou. The Deng family was originally a large clan in Nanyang, but was raped north by Cao Cao during the Battle of Red Cliff. The clan members were very resentful to Cao Wei. Now they heard that Deng Ai held an important position in Shu, so they responded one after another.

The Deng family was widely distributed in Nanyang, Runan and had a great prestige among the people. For a time, there were many fugitives in Nanyang and Runan. Chen Long prepared troops at the junction of Jingzhou and the two places, and he could pick up the people who fled at any time, then provide them with food and clothing, and lead them to Jingzhou to cultivate farms. Now, there are many abandoned land in various places, but there is no shortage of places for farming.

After arriving in Jingzhou, these people were surprised to see the thriving rice seedlings, regular fields and irrigation ditches in the fields. If there is a paradise for time, it must be in Jingzhou, right?

Chen Long, Guan Yu, Deng Ai, Wang Ji and others have achieved results in the governance of Jingzhou. Today, Jingzhou has long become a land of fish and rice. It is far from being tired from Runan, Nanyang, and the people have settled down one after another and began to reclaim land according to the orders of the government.

According to Chen Long's order, Deng Ai selected clever people from these people and returned to Runan and Nanyang again, and persuaded the people who were still there to go south. Many people here still remember that even though Liu Bei was chased by Cao Cao, he could not bear to give up the old things of the people. When he heard that he was going to Liu Huangshu's territory, he responded one after another.

After the defenders in Xinye, Wancheng and other places found that the people were fleeing, they hurriedly led their troops out of the city to block the enemy. However, Chen Long was prepared. Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Ma Dai, Zhao Tong and others had already led elite troops to hide around. When the army left the city, they would kill the generals from the slanting assassin, caught the enemy general off guard, and fled back to the city in a panic.

In this way, the generals from all over the country could only retreat to the city without leaving, allowing the Shu Han army to guard the local people to head south to Jingzhou. When Cao Zhen led the army to arrive, the people at the junction of Nanyang, Runan and Jingzhou were no longer ten or three.

"There are more people in Jingzhou. Even if they fail to fight Xudu in this battle, Cao Wei will be seriously injured." After Chen Long heard that Cao Zhen was coming, he immediately led his army to the north. When the small town between Wancheng and Fancheng saw the arrival of the army, he either opened the city to surrender or was ganged down by Chen Long. The army suffered almost no resistance and went outside Wancheng.

Cao Zhen saw Chen Long's big flag at the top of the city and was a little dazed for a moment. When he met him in the city the last time, he was sieging the city outside the city. This time, he happened to lose one after another. It was his turn to defend the city, and Chen Long led his army to attack the city.

Chen Long had rich military experience and did not give Cao Zhen any chance to attack. He set up camp outside Fancheng City, surrounded Wancheng on three sides of the east, south and west, leaving only the north gate leading to Luoyang for Cao's army to enter and exit.

The next morning, the drums roared in the Shu Han camp, and the banner of Chen's character was raised high. Chen Long led the army to challenge under the city gate. Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and other young generals galloped on their horses, pointed at the top of the city and scolded them, wanting to incite Cao's army to fight the generals.

Later, General Wen Pin was furious when he heard this, "When we became famous, we were probably not born yet. How dare we underestimate us so much today? General, Wen asked to go out of the city to fight!"

"Zhongye calms down, the younger generation is not worth mentioning. However, when we come out of Luoyang, Your Majesty has already given strict orders. In this battle, only if we need to defend the city firmly, the Shu army will retreat!" Cao Zhen smiled bitterly in his heart. If he had left the city to fight the generals before the official battle, he would have increased his morale for his side, he would definitely be willing to do such a thing.

But who told that person to be outside the city, can anyone in the city beat him? Although you, Wen Pin Wen Zhongye, was not here last time, have you never even heard of it? Although you have good martial arts skills, you must be Zhang He and Xu Chu are still far from it? You go out of the city to fight with generals, isn’t that going to seek death?

Cao Zhen has been cast by Chen Long. Unless Lu Bu is in his tent, he will never dare to go out of the city to fight generals; even if Lu Bu comes, he will not dare to fight. Can Lu Bu beat eight generals?

"Haha, Cao Zidan was scared." Chen Long smiled and then called Zhang Bao to order one or two. After hearing this, Zhang Bao came to the city to fight again.

"Old man Cao Zhen listened, my military advisor said that my military advisor would not take action in this battle. Let us fight you. If you don't dare to fight, it's better to open the city and surrender!" Zhang Bao inherited his father's good voice, and his voice was like thunder, which made the ears of the defenders on the city buzz. The soldiers all looked frightened when they saw this.

"General!" Wen Pin asked for a war again, and Cao Zhen couldn't stop him. Chen Long and Shen Zifeng couldn't even take action. Should they let these young men show off their power under the city?

So Cao Zhen personally led his troops to fight. Wen Pin, Xu Huang, Guo Huai, Wang Shuang and others were in the left and right, setting up a formation outside the south gate, and Wen Pin took the lead and rushed to the front, "I am Nanyang Wen Pin? Who dares to fight me!"

"In order to prevent the land of this state, what kind of face do you have to fight, Wen Zhongye?" Zhang Bao raised his snake spear and immediately cursed Wen Pin's sore spot.

Wen Pin was originally a general of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, guarding Jingbei. After Liu Biao died, Liu Cong surrendered to Cao. Wen Pin did not meet Cao Cao at first, until Cao Cao summoned him to meet him and asked him why he was too late. Wen Pin said that he could not preserve his territory and was ashamed of seeing others. Cao Cao felt that he was loyal and righteous and valued it. However, this matter was a scar for Wen Pin.

Now that Zhang Bao has revealed it, Wen Pin is furious and comes to fight with a gun.
