Sun Jiao has lived in Xiakou for a long time and is naturally familiar with hydrology.

Based on Yu's understanding of him, Sun Jiao would never venture into Xiakou to storm Jiangling during the dry season.

Besides, waiting for work with ease is the simplest art of war, as long as Sun Jiao guards Chuyang, the most anxious must be Liu Chan and Zhuge Qiao.

In this case, it is really a fool to take the initiative to attack Gangneung Jiancheng.

But after all, Yu Fu had been in Jiangling for too long, and he couldn't figure out the situation that Wu Jun was facing now.

Sun Jiao was not stupid, but it was precisely because he was not stupid that he had to rashly sail during the dry season and launch an attack on Liu Chan's station, Jiangling.

The reason is simple - there is a little problem on Sun Quan's side.

According to Zhuge Ke's plan before, Sun Quan's army was in Xiangyang, and Guan Yu's army would definitely have no way.

And after a few days of confrontation under Xiangyang City, Guan Yu must have received the news that Liu Chan was besieged at the mouth of the Youjiang River-

Liu Bei's heirs were surrounded by the main force of the Wu army, and when they thought about it with their toes, they knew that Guan Yu should immediately move south with the whole army, retreat in a hurry by land, and go to support Liu Chan.

Guan Yu retreated, and the Cao army on the north bank had no ships, so Xiangyang would definitely easily fall into Sun Quan's hands.

Sitting on the three important towns of Youjiangkou, Xiangyang, and Xiakou, Sun Quan's army can engulf the entire Jingzhou when he advances, and he can also negotiate conditions with Guan Yu and Cao Cao when he retreats.

No matter how you look at it, you don't lose money.

At first, things did turn out as Sun Quan had predicted.

Guan Yu was suddenly attacked by Sun Quan's army, and in a panic, he immediately asked the navy to retreat westward, and then sent an envoy to negotiate with Sun Quan, asking Sun Quan why he wanted to attack Xiangyang.

Sun Quan Zhenzhen said that this was all a helpless move to retaliate against Liu Chan's sneak attack on Baqiu.

"Liu Adou attacked Baqiu earlier and killed and injured the son of our general Zhou Tai, which is really an unforgivable crime.

Now our army has waved 40,000 troops, attacked the mouth of the Youjiang River, and vowed to pacify Jingzhou and capture Liu Chan.

General Guan is an elder, and he has to discipline this yellow-mouthed son well. ”

Hearing the news brought back by the envoy, Guan Yu was speechless for a while.

The upright Liao Hua was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his first reaction was to scold:

"Framed, definitely framed!"

"How many sailors does the prince have? How dare you go and sneak attack their naval army camp?

You have to lie well! ”

Guan Ping frowned, also with a bitter face.

"There is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, these Wu dogs have long coveted Jiangling.

The last time Lu Meng sneaked up on the three counties, this time he came from all over the country, and his father should not be underestimated. ”

Seeing that Guan Yu didn't say a word, Guan Ping thought that Guan Yu was worried about Liu Chan.

He sighed helplessly and said:

"Father, Adou was right before, Wu Gou is really ambitious.

Now that the Han River has been cut off, fortunately, our army occupies Xiangyang and can still retreat from Zhonglu.

Although the road was difficult and dangerous, Sun Quan didn't dare to chase after him. ”

Guan Ping and Liao Hua were already discussing the strategy of retreating, and after a long time, the gray-haired Guan Yu slowly raised his head.

He glared at Guan Ping first, then turned his head to look at Liao Hua, and said in a deep voice:

"How many days can our army's rations last?"

"Back to the general, it is enough to support more than two months."

Xiangyang originally didn't have much grain in stock, but before Liu Chan robbed a large household, Mi Fang generously allocated a large amount of military food to Guan Yu.

In addition, in order to appease Guan Yu, Mei Shiki volunteered to carry a large amount of military food from the chest, and now Guan Yu's grain storage in Xiangyang is still quite considerable.

Hearing that the military rations were enough to last for two months, a gleam flashed in Guan Yu's eyes.

He stood up and snorted coldly:

"Sun Quan Xiao'er An dares to bully me.

A few years ago, the eldest brother went on an expedition to Yizhou, and our army was preparing for the Northern Expedition, and he was unable to turn against them, which allowed Lü Meng to occupy the three counties. ”

"I thought that after winning the three counties, these Wu dogs should be satisfied and march north with our troops.

Unexpectedly, they didn't expect that they couldn't beat Zhang Wenyuan and Zang Xuangao, and they actually hit the idea on the head of the general. ”

"It seems that I underestimated the general."

Guan Ping and Liao Hua looked at each other, and Guan Yu's tone was so unkind, it was obvious that this matter could not be good.

Sure enough, Guan Yu lifted the fire axe on the side and checked it in his hand:

"Open the city gate, I'm going to drive those Wu dogs down the Han River!"

It's over, Guan Yu's temper has come up.

Although he knew that Guan Yu was sure that ten cows could not be pulled back, Guan Ping still stubbornly said:

"Father thinks twice.

Wu Gou's army is coming, if Adou is really trapped at the mouth of the oil river, it must be very dangerous. ”

Guan Ping said, while subconsciously shrinking his neck and closing his eyes, waiting for Guan Yu to slap him.

Unexpectedly, Guan Yu actually laughed, and there was not the slightest look of unhappiness on his face.

"Ping'er, this is a child's opinion!"

He asked Guan Ping to walk to the map and said with a smile:

"Tell me, is it easy to guard the mouth of the oil river, or is it easy to guard Jiangling?"

Guan Ping replied without hesitation:

"Naturally, Gangneung is easy to keep.

Jiangling City is high and deep, with plenty of grain and grass, Wu Gou is desperate, and it is difficult to shake it! ”

Guan Yu sneered:

"Yes, you all know about it, don't you know?"

"This ......"

"Since Adou left Yizhou, he has been invincible and invincible on the way.

That Yu Ban, Pang De, and Chang Diao are not Cao Wei's generals and ministers, and Adou was not born when he became famous. ”

"But these famous generals have not been captured by Adou Xin, such as capturing babies and children."

"Before, Adou had asserted that the Eastern Wu Lu discussed the wolf's ambitions, and he would take advantage of the attack of the Northern Expedition and lead the army back to Jiangling as soon as possible, which is obviously a plan for a long time."

"I guess he made a clever plan with the military advisor when he was in Chengdu, and then he suddenly came lightly."

"They have been planning for so long, so naturally they have a way to deal with it.

Will it still be surrounded in the small city of Youjiangkou and fight to the death with the main force of Wu Gou? ”

"Uh......"

Guan Ping and Liao Hua suddenly realized.

Guan Yu is right.

Liu Chan was originally happy in Yizhou, but he had a temporary idea, and hurriedly led the army to Jingzhou without Liu Bei coming back, which didn't seem right.

It was only now that Guan Ping and Liao Hua understood that Liu Chan was not here to teach Guan Yu to fight this time.

Instead, he helped Guan Yu to guard against the sneak attack of the Wu army in the rear.

Since this is the case, it shows that Liu Chan had premeditated and naturally would not be surrounded at the mouth of the oil river.

"What does my father mean ......," Guan Ping said in surprise.

Guan Yu sneered:

"Sun Quan's tactics are nothing more than attacking Jiangling with a large army, and then he led a partial army to intercept Hanshui, so that I and others were forced to abandon the ship and go to Zhonglu to support Adou."

"In this way, this Xiangyang will naturally fall into his hands."

"Hey, since he thinks so, I just don't let him get his wish.

Open the door, and I'll stop them today! ”

·

Guan Yujun had just besieged Cao's army in Fancheng for a few months.

At this time, their morale was high, and when they heard Guan Yu say that they were going to send troops, they all shouted to beat Wu Jun.

The Wu army outside the city opened the gate of Xiangyang, thinking that Guan Yu had figured it out and was preparing to break through.

Jiang Qin even deliberately ordered the troops to retreat a little, and if Guan Yu wanted to leave, let him hurry up and get out of the way, and chase after their rear team.

But they never expected that Guan Yu had no intention of breaking through.

He asked Liao Hua to wave the command flag, and he took the lead, leading Guan Ping and his army to take out the ancestral long snake formation on the river beach north of Xiangyang City, and killed Jiang Qin like a monstrous wave.

Jiang Qin was shocked and hurriedly organized the Wu army to resist.

Although his soldiers are all the elite of the Wu army, their troops are after all to contain the partial division sent by Guan Yu.

Previously, he divided some troops to Sun Ben, and then divided some troops to Sun Jiao.

Although Jiang Qin had the heart to break his wrist with Guan Yu, he was also powerless.

After an hour of fighting, Jiang Qin himself fled back to the ship in a hurry under the cover of his soldiers, and almost all the soldiers who stayed behind the palace fell under Guan Yu's fire axe.

Fortunately, Sun Huan, who was fishing in the distance, saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly led the army ashore and shouted his name to attract part of Guan Yujun's attention.

Otherwise, with Guan Yu's lifeless onslaught, I was afraid that Jiang Qin's entire army would be driven into the water.

Sun Quan was drinking a banquet on the boat, and when he heard that Guan Yu not only did not run, but also launched a fierce attack on Jiang Qin's troops, he was immediately stunned.

What's going on?

Guan Yu didn't even care about Liu Chan's life or death?

"Guan Yu, this horseman! If Liu Chan is dead, I will see how he will go to see Liu Bei! ”

In fact, in Zhuge Ke's previous plan, Guan Yu's bullish temper was also taken into account, and he insisted on defending Xiangyang, regardless of Liu Chan's life or death.

But this situation was what Wu Jun was most happy to see at that time.

If he doesn't support Liu Chan, Zhuge Jin's side can calmly attack Jiangling.

Sun Quan's side can also slowly surround and consume Xiangyang.

As long as the logistics are smooth, they are invincible.

Maybe Liu Bei, who was upstream, heard that his sworn brother and son were besieged, and he would come to the rescue regardless of it.

At that time, the results will be further expanded.

But Sun Quan never expected that as soon as they confronted Guan Yu, Xiakou was actually cut off.

Although Sun Jiao was sent to conquer, Sun Quan, the sturdy of Xiakou, also knew.

In this cold winter, the epidemic is gradually rising, and Sun Jiao may not be able to knock down Xiakou soon.

"Supreme, something is wrong."

Sun Quan's important staff officer, Xu Shen, a native of Wu County, raised his concerns to Sun Quan after witnessing Guan Yu's army's powerful attack.

He believed that Guan Yujun's attack today was fierce and orderly, and it was by no means a battle of trapped beasts.

Obviously, Guan Yu had no idea of coming back to Liu Chan at all.

At least not for the time being.

"Liu Bei and Guan Yu are friends of life and death, Liu Bei pretended to be the king of Hanzhong and made Liu Chan the prince, how could Guan Yu do something and not save him when he was besieged?"

"I think that Liu Chan is quite disciplined in his use of soldiers, and he has the style of a general in advancing and retreating.

When General Lu was still in Lukou, this person expected that General Lu was going to attack Jiangling, and made arrangements early, so Guan Yu occupied the danger and did not retreat. ”

"If this is the case, our army is in danger!"

Sun Quan also reacted quickly, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"It's not good, you mean, Liu Chan blocked Xiakou, it's ......"

"If it is expected to be low, Liu Chan must have a way to repel Zhuge Ziyu.

This Liu Chan has a lot of appetite, and he is ready to use Xiakou to besiege my two-way army, which can be called a national hand.

If this is really the design, the weather is cold now, and I am afraid that even if we are sleepy, we can trap our army on the river! ”
