Chapter 74: Lu Yi takes control of the situation

can't blame Cao Ren for not having enough imagination,

The whole army of Guan Yu's army would not have thought that Liu Chan's army would attack the famous fortified city of Xiangyang without losing a single armor.

Lu Chang and Kuai Peng actually fought for the order of surrender, and both died in the end.

This plot is too magical,

It wasn't until he saw Liu Chan waving happily to him in front of the gate of Xiangyang City that Guan Yu dared to believe that Xiangyang really fell into his hands.

Providence.

Adou, he is indeed a man of destiny!

After taking Xiangyang, Guan Yu's army was equivalent to connecting the north and the south at once, advancing the battle line towards the north in a big way, and mastering the absolute initiative on the battlefield.

In the future, he can comfortably hold in Xiangyang, waiting for the opportunity to launch the Northern Expedition at will.

And Cao Cao next either recaptured Xiangyang, or hoarded a large number of cavalry in Wancheng to wait for Guan Yu's northern expedition,

The former option is bound to pay huge losses,

The latter option would put enormous pressure on Cao Cao's logistics, putting his already smuggling north to an even greater crisis.

"Well done, Adou, well done!

You actually have such a plan, the second uncle admires you in his heart! โ€

Guan Yu rode forward, flexibly turned over from the horse, pressed Liu Chan's shoulders with both hands, and shook excitedly.

Liu Chan had no power to resist in Guan Yu's hands, so he could only let Guan Yu ravage him, and said with a wry smile:

"I didn't plan it, I ...... it"

"Hey, you are also a soldier with soldiers, so why should you be arrogant?

When I came ashore, I heard Acho talk about your command and planning.

The means of first surrendering the barbarian king, and then forcing Lu Chang to descend are already extremely clever,

Even if there was no matter of Kuai Peng later, presumably Lu Chang would not be able to support it and surrender.

You have such a calculation at a young age, and the second uncle is really very pleased. โ€

Liu Chan: ......

There is a cola instant noodle sapper shovel, and everyone has long been preconceived, believing that Liu Chan has excellent skills,

Now Liu Chan will be considered to have a deep meaning even if he farts,

What's more, it captured the fortified city of Xiangyang.

"Fighting a war always requires a little luck,

Adou, the second uncle is ready to borrow your luck to go straight to the Central Plains and revive the Han Dynasty, what do you want? โ€

Liu Chan smiled bitterly:

"How can the little nephew have such good luck-

Besides, the little nephew thought that after our army conquered Xiangyang, Fancheng would be able to collect the army and return to the division.

If you stay here for a long time, you are afraid that Dongwu will worry about Jiangling and make trouble again. โ€

Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, obviously very dissatisfied with Liu Chan's statement,

But he didn't want to be like a junior.

He snorted casually and walked into the city.

Xiangyang City was easily breached by Liu Chan, and all the facilities in the city were not damaged, and the gate was repaired, and it was a good city.

Guan Yu strolled through it, only feeling that even if he broke through Fancheng and wanted to force Xiangyang, he didn't know how much effort it would take.

Mei Fu knew Guan Yu, he happily came up to say hello to Guan Yu, and vigorously introduced his warriors to fight bravely, and the eldest prince used soldiers like gods, which made Guan Yu a little bored to listen,

Fortunately, Mei Fu saw Guan Yu's unhappiness, and he changed his words and talked about Liu Chan's ability to use soldiers.

"The eldest prince is really like a god,

The junior general led 3,000 troops, but was attacked by the eldest prince with 300 infantry, which is really ashamed.

I voted for the eldest prince, and listened to the people under the command of the eldest prince, and I knew that the eldest prince had the help of the gods.

With such a skill, why worry about the Han Dynasty not prospering, why worry about the Han thief not being destroyed. โ€

Also, three hundred men rushed over three thousand,

How can ordinary people dare to use this trick?

The slightest carelessness will be the end of the total annihilation.

Adou, this kid, really has some way.

Otherwise, listen to him once, go back to rest after breaking Fancheng, and make plans when the soldiers are fully fed?

Guan Yu has felt that he is old in recent years, and he is no longer as invincible as when he was young.

He was afraid that if he gave up such a good opportunity, he would not see the revival of the Han dynasty in the future, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little on the day he returned to the old capital.

Well, let's not talk about this, let's beat Fancheng down first.

ยท

A few days later, Lu Yi, the right governor of the three counties of Huiji, Poyang, and Danyang, secretly returned to Jianye, where he met with Sun Quan, the supreme of Eastern Wu.

Sun Quan is only one year older than Lu Yi, but because Lu Yi is married to Sun Ce's daughter, when he meets Lu Yi, he still salutes Sun Quan as a courtesy of meeting his elders.

Sun Quan helped Lu Yi up with a solemn face, and said in a low voice:

"Bo Yan has worked hard from afar, and you should have been allowed to rest for a while, but now the military situation is like fire, and it is time to make a decision.

Ziming is seriously ill, and he often entrusts Boyan during his illness,

Lonely was panicked, and he could only disturb Bo Yan to rest. โ€

Sun Quan is not lying,

These days, Lu Meng's health is getting worse and worse, and he is always in a half-asleep state.

He has been babbling "Lu Yi Lu Yi", obviously he has a lot of trust in Lu Yi.

Sun Quan said in his heart that this must be because Lu Meng is not worried about the war, so I have something to consult Lu Yi,

He was so sick that he was still worried about national affairs, and Sun Quan, who was moved, burst into tears.

Thirty-six-year-old Lu Yi's face was cold and solemn, and he respectfully bowed to Sun Quan and said:

"I'm afraid the situation is even worse than the Supreme imagined,

On the way here, the minister heard that Liu Chan personally led elite troops to conquer Xiangyang, and Guan Yu also besieged Cao Ren in Fancheng.

Maybe in a few days, Fancheng will also fall into the hands of the Shu army. โ€

"This ......" Sun Quan's pupils became significantly larger,

He clenched his fists nervously and whispered:

"What should be done now, please speak clearly."

Lu Yi said in a deep voice:

"Liu Chan marched fast, occupied Xiangyang, his arms were larger than his shares, and he would suffer from it.

It's better to take advantage of its unpreparedness and quickly march to ask for it, so as not to make it bigger! โ€

As we all know, guarding the river must guard the Huai.

Jianye, the capital of Eastern Wu, is very dependent on the protection of the Yangtze River, and if someone breaks through the Yangtze River from the Huai River Basin, it will quickly kill Jianye City.

At that time, Sun Quan didn't even have time to call for reinforcements.

Therefore, since the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan has always taken the capture of Hefei, an important town in the Huai River Valley, as the primary strategic goal, and frequently sent troops to attack.

But the question is......

He can't beat it.

I have tried twice, and the powerful Zhang Liao descended like a god of war, beating Sun Quan to have frequent nightmares when he thought of Hefei.

So he had to change his goal.

"Gangneung." Sun Quan gritted his teeth and said, "Jiangling, the lonely ambition is bound to win,

However, Liu Chan worked in scheming and used soldiers bravely,

On this expedition, he still laid heavy troops in Jiangling and Youjiangkou, and our army has few soldiers, so what can I do? โ€

The real strength of the Eastern Wu army and the strength of the horses will have to wait until the era of Zhuge Ke's expedition to Shanyue in later generations.

At this time, Sun Quan's troops had to guard against Cao's army from Xuzhou and Juchao, even if they attacked Jiangling, they would inevitably have limited numbers of men and horses.

Moreover, now that the Yangtze River is in the wet season, the difficulty of hitting the upstream from the downstream has increased dramatically, so Sun Quan is quite hesitant.

Lu Yi smiled calmly and said:

"Lu Ziming and Liu Chan teasing wisdom, I have heard Wen Qi talk about it,

Liu Chan is cunning and wise, he is worried that the winter of our army is coming, so he frequently writes books to provoke Ziming, and is completely prepared.

In fact, their army went north, and the defense must be very empty, but they just pretended to be like this, so that Ziming did not dare to offend.

Thinking that Mi Fang is just a businessman, Shiren is just an old pawn,

Yang Qun, Deng Tong, Ding Li and others were either born as bandits or from broken families.

Although he has courage, he doesn't know the art of war, and he relies on Liu Chan's dispatch.

Now that Liu Chan has not returned from the expedition, his people will be panicked when they see our army pouring into the country. โ€

"The Supreme can send an envoy to reconcile with Cao Gong and force Chen to crusade against Guan Yu.

I took the lead in the crusade against Guan Yu for the Supreme,

If you don't take Gangneung, you won't withdraw your troops! โ€

Sun Quan had already sent an envoy to Cao Cao to surrender after being violently beaten by Zhang Liao and Zang Ba two years ago.

In the past two years, he has been sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, although he really wants to take advantage of Liu Bei's attack on Hanzhong and then fight Hefei, but he is always afraid of Zhang Liao's courage and does not dare to move lightly.

Now, it's time to cash in on his good standing.

"Thinking that in order to recapture Xiangyang, Cao Gong must do his best,

Lone will write a book, please Cao Gong help me. โ€

"There is another matter for the Supreme to decide," Lu Yi said, "Our army must talk about a famous division when it comes out, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

I want to ask Ziyu to come forward and let Guan Yu marry his daughter Yu Gongzi, I don't know what the Supreme wills? โ€
