Guan Ping's pro-unified water and land people went straight down the Yangtze River from Xiangyang, and entered the waters of Xiakou in ten days, approaching Xiakou City.

But at this moment, on the periphery of Xiakou, the Wu army had intercepted and blocked the river by sinking boats at the suggestion of Lu Xun, as the first line of defense, in case the big ships of the Jingzhou army took the city directly.

In the battle of Dongting Lake, the Wu people were deeply impressed by the new vehicles and ships of the Jingzhou Army, not only the speed was amazing, but even the defense was so strong.

On the river, the generals of the Jingzhou Army looked closely at the sunken ships in the waters in front of them, blocking the passage of large ships. The Wu people actually used the sinking boat to block our soldiers from the city of Xiakou, and it seems that they have made up their minds to hold the city. ”

"It's just that, for the sake of today, it is difficult for our army to pass through the waters ahead."

As soon as the words fell, Fu Wei showed a little worried.

This time the destruction of Wu should be dominated by the sailors, but if the navy army cannot break through the defense line in front of them, I am afraid that the mighty eastward expedition will be returned.

Hearing this, the well-dressed scribe with a crown on his head and a handsome face on one side couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Xiakou is the key point to guard the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, if Xiakou is lost, the Jiangdong gateway will be opened, and it will be even more difficult for the Wu army to resist the strong front of our army." ”

"It is normal that Lord Wu Sun Quan will cling to Xiakou desperately."

As soon as these words fell, he thought carefully and said: "But Xuan is more worried that Sun Quan is now in danger, I am afraid that he will send an envoy again to ask Emperor Cao Pi of Wei to send troops to help, if the Wei side is cold and does not want our army to become bigger, it will recruit elites again to attack our army." ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone around them.

Xi Xuan, a member of the Yicheng Xi family, once showed his talent in the Jiangling Policy Theory Examination that year, and has been following Ma Liang to govern the country and make plans for several years.

Now it is a critical opportunity to destroy Wu, and Guan Ping also ordered him to accompany the army in order to investigate his talents.

Xi Xuan's words immediately alerted everyone.

Yes, if the Wei army attacks the rear again, the situation will indeed be very tricky.

Merely.

At the same time that everyone is deeply worried, a navy blue robe? Guan Ping, the handsome-looking general, was feeling the cold wind blowing like a star? Let the wind blow on the robes, and there is nothing to worry about? It's very pleasant and enjoyable!

Will you see this in unison? It's a little confusing.

Half-ringing, it was his younger brother Guan Suo who asked tentatively first: "The eldest brother doesn't seem to be worried about the defense of the Wu people at all?" But is there a solution? ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces were full of anticipation.

Guan Ping has been fighting on the battlefield for many years? Countless feats of war? It has brought many miracles, in the hearts of the generals, but where are they invincible, mighty and domineering General Guan? Then there is no battle that cannot be difficult.

Heard? Guan Ping looked back, looked around, and said softly: "Worry can't solve the actual problem, our army is currently winning successive battles, and the morale of the soldiers has reached the peak?" The combat power is enough to kill the Wu people in seconds, so why not kill Wu with a happy smile? ”

Turning the conversation around? Guan Ping then raised his sword and ordered: "All the departments slowly evacuate and gather at the Chibi beachhead upstream?" Set up camp here. ”

The order was handed down, and tens of thousands of land and water troops did not dare to slack off? Immediately enter the red cliff and landing? So he began to build a land and water camp as a place to camp? Capture the outpost of Xiakou.

And the warships of the Wu army, which were swimming on the river in the direction of Xiakou, watched the Jingzhou army leave one after another, and the sergeant couldn't help but immediately greet the general Lu Xun, and said with great joy: "Lu Dudu." You really have no last resort, the Jingzhou army saw the tight sinking boat in front of our army, paused for a while, and then led the crowd to leave upstream, it seems that they have also exhausted their donkey skills and have not found a way to solve it. ”

"It seems that the rumored invincible Guan Ping is nothing more than this compared to the governor...... It's a pity that in the battle of Dongting, King Wu insisted on ......"

"Stop!"

Seeing that the sergeant under his command had already complained in his heart, Lu Xun was horrified, and hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt, then looked blank, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be so optimistic, this governor's method is just a helpless move, the Jingzhou army can't crack it for a while just because of the first arrival, that Guan Ping is extremely brave and full of wisdom, not to be underestimated!" ”

In the next few days.

The Jingzhou army did not make any moves, and did not make the slightest action to break through the sinking boat in the waters of Xiakou, but only made every day to build a large camp on the shore of Chibi.

For a time, the dry camp and the water camp were closely related to each other, and although the whole camp was not completely completed, it was already showing a majestic aura, which made people feel awe-inspiring.

Logistics materials and military rations from Jiangling, Changsha and other counties in the upper reaches were also fed into the Yangtze River through Xiangshui and Chushui, and were continuously transported to the Chibi front line by water.

These scenes all indicate that the Jingzhou army is preparing to fight a protracted battle with the Wu army.

And that's not all.

On the rivers around Chibi and Xiakou, Jingzhou sailors took turns patrolling day and night, monitoring the enemy's movements on the one hand, and besieging Xiakou on the other hand, gradually isolating the connection between Sun Quan's headquarters and Jiangdong.

On this day, the Jingzhou sailors also captured a group of important people who came from downstream to pretend to be traveling merchants on the river to the boundary of Wulin.

Chibi Camp.

At this moment, Guan Ping was in the main position, looked down with a faint gaze, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ziyu, you don't have to hide it anymore, it's not that I haven't seen your true face." ”

Dressed in merchant clothes below, he was tied up and asked to go to Chengdu voluntarily to persuade his brother to rebuild the Han and Wu alliances.

For the sake of safety, he decided to pretend to be a merchant and a passer-by to sneak into the merchants who were doing business in the west, so as to fish in troubled waters, arrive in Jingxiang, and then transfer to Sichuan.

It's a pity that his luck is not too good, and everything went smoothly at the beginning, but when he was about to enter Wulin Port to get rid of the Jingzhou army, he encountered a key investigation led by Liao Hua himself.

Liao Hua recognized his face, so he naturally easily pulled him out and sent him to the Chibi camp.

"Jin see General Guan."

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Zhuge Jin didn't pretend anymore, but took the initiative to salute.

"Uncle. With the brotherhood between you and the prime minister, I, as a junior, should be treated as a guest of honor, but now the war between Wu and Han is stalemate, and the relationship is bad. ”

"General Guan is too worried."

Seeing that Guan Ping took the initiative to apologize, Zhuge Jin couldn't see through his intentions for a while, and couldn't help but be wronged.

But without waiting for him to react in the next second, Guan Ping's words suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Uncle, let's talk about it, now that the two armies are fighting, you are an important minister under Sun Quan, pretending to be a business traveler with the intention of going west to Jingxiang in order to do something?" ”

Suddenly suffering such a huge change in Guan Ping's attitude and questioning him, Zhuge Jin was a little stunned for a while, but after thinking about it, he responded with a smile: "General Qiqiguan." Jin Xi entered Jingxiang naturally had no other intentions, just passing by. ”

"Passing by?"

Suddenly, Guan Ping's face turned cold, and he said lightly: "Will you believe this?" Your lord is now meeting our army, but his important ministers suddenly went to the enemy's territory, and they were just passing by? ”

"Uncle, is Guan Ping a fool?"

After a strong drink, Zhuge Jin suddenly looked at each other a little, but when he thought that Sun Quan had extremely high expectations for him before leaving, and solemnly thought of his important mission, he immediately had an idea in his heart, and immediately said: "General Guan, this matter is like this, at the beginning of last month, the second brother of the minister, who is now the prime minister of the Han State, gave me a letter of major, asking me to choose one person to go to Chengdu as an envoy to negotiate the two alliances, how to jointly resist the large-scale attack of the Wei State and achieve joint defense." ”

"And my lord took into account the relationship between Jin and the second brother of the minister, so he sent Jin to Chengdu, but because General Guan came with a large army, Jin pretended to be a business traveler into Sichuan when he was panicked."

For a while, Zhuge Jin bluntly stated his intentions, he was in Sichuan to discuss the alliance with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and discuss the Wei State together.

When he said this, he also knew that he was going to Sichuan to meet Zhuge Liang to rebuild the Han and Wu alliances, and he would definitely not be able to hide Guan Ping, after all, as long as he thought about this matter, he could draw a conclusion, so it was better to take the initiative and explain it.

But he changed his tone a little between his words, and reversed the matter of taking the initiative to enter Sichuan to ask for the alliance of Xiuhan and Wu to Zhuge Liang sending an envoy to invite him to go.

Although the essence of the incident is the same, it is obvious that the latter is more likely to make Guan Ping dare not act rashly against him.

In a word!

Guan Ping thought for a moment, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a sneer, he had already seen through Zhuge Jin's tricks.

What is Zhuge Liang Xiushu Yu Sun Quan asking him to send an envoy to Sichuan to negotiate the alliance?

Such low-level excuses are too child's play.

If it is really Zhuge Liang's book, and there is indeed a plan to join Wu, then the letter will first pass through Jingxiang, and this matter will be known to Guan Ping, who is sitting on one side, and only in this way can Guan Ping carry out the next combat operations and deployment plans.

How can you skip the statement that the commander of the army will unite alone?

But Guan Ping only weighed it in his heart, and did not show it, but still showed a smile on his face, and suddenly got up and said, "Haha." I see, my uncle said earlier, since the prime minister invited you to Sichuan, you should have said that your nephew would definitely lead the troops to receive you in person, why do you let your uncle suffer this hardship? ”

Seeing that Guan Ping's attitude had changed again, Zhuge Jin couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, so he had to echo with a smile: "General Guan's matter is fine, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved, the Han and Wu families should be like a family of brothers, or should they live in peace." ”

"It's just that it's a long way to enter Sichuan, and now it's been delayed for a while, can Jin rush to Ichuan immediately?"

Seeing that Guan Ping was so difficult to deal with, Zhuge Jin thought about it for a while, and he still had to get out immediately.

"Uncle. Don't be in a hurry, you have said that the road into Sichuan is far away, then you must not be in a hurry for these two days, you came from afar, Ping as a younger generation should do his best to meet the friendship of the landlord for you to pick up the wind and wash the dust. ”

After saying that, Guan Ping looked sideways and ordered: "Liu Jia." You quickly lead Uncle Ziyu to arrange a tent for him to rest, and then prepare a dinner party, which will have to be seen in person in the evening. ”

"Whoa."

The order was handed down, and Liu Jia took the order to lead Zhuge Jin down.

Seeing this, Zhuge Jin saw that Guan Ping did not let go of himself, and he didn't know in his heart that this was Guan Ping's plan, called hospitality, but it was actually detained, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, he knew that if he couldn't go to Chengdu to see his second brother and say that he would take advantage of it, I am afraid that the relationship between Han and Wu will no longer be repaired, and then this battle may be inevitable!

"General Guan. Jin official ......"

"Uncle doesn't need to say much, he can tell the difference."

It's just that Zhuge Jin still needs to be persuaded again, but Guan Ping directly waved his hand, and Liu Jia rudely took him down.

Xi Xuan, who was on the side, witnessed the back of Zhuge Jin leaving the whole time, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Junhou." Zhuge Jin is the prime minister after all......"

"What you said is clear to the general, but the general does not know the prime minister's strategic planning, if he arrives in Chengdu and really persuades the prime minister to rebuild the Han and Wu alliance, then the battle to destroy Wu that our army has painstakingly prepared now will not be in vain?"

"Now the Wu people because of the battle of Dongting Lake, the elite is greatly damaged, the vitality is greatly damaged, it is the best time to destroy Wu, if the Wu people rest for a few more years, with the manpower and geography of Jiangdong, I am afraid that it will be difficult to carry out the Eastern Expedition several times more."

Guan Ping said in a deep voice.

This time, he made up his mind to destroy Wu in a war to implement a confrontation between the north and the south, and the world was divided into two strategic plans.

As for Zhuge Liang, it is not clear what he thinks at present, after all, in the original history, after he did ascend the throne, he directly sent an envoy out of [New www.xxbiquge.xyz] to make Jiangdong rebuild the alliance.

He couldn't gamble, so he directly detained Zhuge Jin.
