More than 20,000 Han troops, inspired by Guan Ping, backed up to the water, and with high fighting spirit, challenged the Wei army camp with the momentum of "the strong man is gone".

Cao Ren, the general of Wei, received the military report sent back by Xu Huang in advance, and learned that his reinforcements had crossed the river with the help of ice, and they were about to launch an encirclement and annihilation of the main force of the Jingzhou army here.

He knew very well that as long as the more than 30,000 land and water soldiers gathered for a decisive battle in this battle, the Jingxiang counties would be determined and swept away by the Eight Desolations.

Because of the scale of more than 30,000 foot cavalry and sailors, he was the most elite soldier of the Jingzhou army, and he was the elite soldier who Guan Yu personally trained in Jingzhou for many years, and he was the main force in the battle of Xiangfan.

After Guan Ping recaptured the three counties of eastern Hunan and took Jingxiang, but adhering to the principle of "more soldiers are more than fine", although there was an expansion of the army to defend all sides, but basically maintained the 30,000 water and land troops as the main force, as a mobile force can be dispatched to the Quartet at any time.

This is also Cao Ren's insistence on a decisive battle with Guan Ping although the grain road suffered a key blow from the Jingzhou army, the purpose is to decide to completely annihilate the main force of the Jingzhou army and complete its work in one battle, so he swept through the Jingxiang counties with a devastating momentum.

Merely.

At this moment, after Guan Ping heard that Xu Huang's troops used ice to cross the river, he also personally led his troops to attack the main force of the Wei army.

Because Cao Ren did not expect Guan Ping to suddenly launch a general attack, he was a little hasty in the face of the strong attack of the Jingzhou army.

The two armies are fighting again!

In two days, the Han army broke the Wei army with its strong momentum, and won five battles and five victories.

For a time, the Han army became more and more vigorous and climbed to the peak.

Immediately after, Guan Ping decided not to rest, and once again attacked the main force of the Wei army with the strongest combat power of the whole army.

This battle was completely dark, and the sun and moon were dark.

After a fierce battle lasted for several hours, the Wei army was defeated, and the troops had to evacuate to Jiangxia in a panic, without the slightest desire to fight.

Because, Guan Ping, the chief general of the Han army, actually led the Xiliang knights to break into the ten thousand armies, which was like no one's land, and directly took the Wei general Cao Ren and seriously injured him.

If it weren't for that, how could the Wei army's morale collapse so quickly?

Five battles and five victories broke the Wei army, and the morale of the Han army was rising day by day, and the momentum was magnificent.

After the battle, the whole place of slaughter fell into a mess, the smoke of gunpowder, layers of corpses and blood mixed and intertwined all over the battlefield, as if even the air was filled with a thick smell of blood, and above the forest in the distance, there were faintly hovering black eagles chirping one after another was choosing the opportunity to wait for the people to dissipate before flying down to have a good meal.

And then Guan Ping ignored the fatigue of the soldiers, and led the whole army to return to Xiangyang to attack and kill Xu Huang's department who crossed the river.

Heard that Cao Ren has been defeated? Xiangyang guard Kou Feng was also shocked? He didn't dare to imagine how Guan Ping led the crowd to win more with less in just two days, and defeated the Wei army with five battles and five victories? But after the surprise? He also did not hesitate to immediately gather thousands of troops, and together with the main force, he went straight to the Wei army.

In the case of a fierce battle, the military strength is almost the same? But the Han army was a victorious division that had just broken the main force of the Wei army, and its morale and fighting spirit were unprecedentedly strong? Although Xu Huang repeatedly commanded the sergeants to line up to greet him? But they were still killed and retreated.

can't resist the Jingzhou soldiers who have been fighting crazy.

When the sentinel galloped back and realized that his main force had been defeated, Xu Huang suddenly stretched out his eyes and looked at the Jingzhou military formation, looking at the strong aura that was faintly exuding between the formations, and he already knew it in his heart? Now the main force has been defeated? The fighter plane was lost, and if the stalemate continues, I am afraid it will lead to heavy losses!

In response to this, Xu Huang had to lead his troops to cross the river again overnight, and then construct fortifications on the front line of Xinye and Fancheng? In order to prevent Guan Ping from taking advantage of the victory to march, he cooperated with Shangyong Deng Ai to attack the Nanyang Prefecture in order to threaten the capital Luoyang.

Three days? Several battles have successively broken Cao Ren, Xu Huang and other Wei Ying army generals, and the generals of Jingzhou are at a time when their morale is strong? In the Xiangyang Mansion, the generals unanimously solemnly surrendered their hands to fight: "General Guan." A new defeat for the Wei army? Now must be the time when morale is low? On the other hand, the current soldiers of our army are in high spirits of war? It should immediately kill the north bank of the Han River, seize Nanyang, and threaten the puppet Wei Jingshi. ”

Merely.

Seeing that the generals showed their faces seeking war, Guan Ping smiled, but said bluntly: "Although Wei has suffered heavy losses, the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, and the strength of the pseudo-Wei is still not to be underestimated, and now our army is not yet the time for the Northern Expedition to destroy Wei!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Guan Ping suddenly changed his words, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said sharply: "But if the Jiangdong Sun clan is not removed, there will be no peace in the eastern part of our army!" ”

"Sun Quan, villain, repeatedly betrayed the alliance, colluded with Wei Kou to plot against my Jingxiang thousands of miles, this general decided that the whole army would rest for three days, and then gather south to kill Jiangdong and destroy the Sun clan."

As soon as the voice was roared, Guan Ping slammed his fist on the desk, and the desk actually made a "squeak" sound and shook slightly.

Seeing this, the generals also saw Guan Ping's determination to destroy Wu this time.

This time, Guan Ping did not intend to continue to accept the reconciliation of the Sun clan, and he wanted to do his best to mobilize the people of Jingxiang and land to go east to Jiangdong to destroy the rule of the Sun clan in one fell swoop.

He had had enough of Sun Quan's repeated left and right.

If we do not conquer Jiangdong to achieve a confrontation between the north and the south, the world will be divided into two, and our side will not have the spare strength to go on the northern expedition wholeheartedly.

It just so happens that this stage is the opportunity to destroy Wu.

Because as Sun Quan declared himself a vassal to Emperor Cao Pi of Wei and accepted the honor of King Wu and Jiuxi, it gave the Han army a reason to crusade.

……

Three days went by in a flash.

The first year of Han Jianxing, late November.

After Guan Ping personally led the people in five battles and five victories to defeat the main forces of the Wei army such as Cao Ren and Xu Huang, he recruited the elite of Quanzhou in Xiangyang to go south and march east into Jiangdong to conquer the rule of the Sun family.

This time, the banner of the expedition was based on the reason that Sun Quan was the remnant of the Wei State, Guan Ping mobilized more than 30,000 troops, more than 10,000 infantry troops, 20,000 sailors, and a number of warships, running mightily on the Yangtze River and heading towards the waters of Xiakou, an important town.

On the flanks, Guan Ping also continued to order Shamoke and others to continue to storm several counties in Jiaozhi, in order to quickly eliminate the Wu soldiers of the Quancong Division, who had seized control of Jiaozhou from the Shijia.

Then he sent Fei Shi, the general of Nanhai County, to lead the people to the north, attacking Jian'an, Linhai and other counties in the southeast of Jiangdong, and approached the important town.

Suddenly, the situation changed greatly, and the Jingzhou army successively broke the main forces of the Wu army and the Wei army, and then marched eastward, and the offensive and defensive momentum changed in an instant.

The world shook.

The Wei government and the opposition were in an uproar.

Because, the Wei general Cao Ren raised more than 100,000 people to conquer Jingxiang, but he was defeated and returned, and he was even more seriously injured, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Xiakou.

Temporary royal palace.

Sun Quan was sitting on the main seat at the moment, but his face was full of anger, fear, and powerlessness, and on the desk in front of him were military newspapers sent from all over the world in the past two days.

Xu Sheng was sent to lead the people from Xiakou to cross the Yangtze River and approach Chaisang downstream, intending to recapture Chaisang and expel the Chen Shisuo who had invaded the rear town, but there had been no good news in the past few days.

But the next thing happened one after another, like a big stone kicking Sun Quan's chest and he couldn't breathe.

The Jingzhou army invaded Jian'an from the east of Jiaozhou, and the counties in Linhai fought successively, and the progress was extremely smooth, and they quickly approached the important town of Shanyin, and now Lu Dai and He Qi are struggling to resist.

As a result, the situation has reached an impasse.

What's more, more than 30,000 people from Guanping personally commanded the water and land along Xiakou, intending to sweep Jiangdong.

Even so, except for sighing, Sun Quan now has no strength to stop the Jingzhou army from moving.

He originally raised more than 100,000 people and joined forces with the Wei army, vowing to march to Jingxiang, thinking that the overall situation could be determined overnight, but he did not expect to suffer a great defeat at Dongting Lake, the military strength was greatly damaged, and the elite was almost lost.

There are still tens of thousands of remnants of the defeated army, but how can they be compared with the victorious division of the main force of the Wei army?

The palace is even more silent at the moment, and no one in the hall has anyone to contribute.

For a long time, Lu Xun looked left and right at everyone speechless, paused, couldn't help showing a serious look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "King Wu." Now Guan Pingju's victorious division is attacking me, and the morale is also in the midst of exuberance, and our army is categorically incapable of the enemy! ”

"Xun suggested that when the Shenzhou River blocked the waterway leading to Xiakou City, it was a defense line to delay the Jingzhou army's footsteps, and then sent an envoy to Luoyang immediately to meet the Wei Emperor Cao Pi to say that he would take advantage of the danger, and ask him to send Huainan and Jiangdu people to help our army resist the Jingzhou army."

For a while, Lu Xun's face remained unchanged and he proposed countermeasures.

That's it.

Zhuge Jin, the left general on the other side, also suddenly got up and said solemnly: "King Wu." Now that our army has suffered heavy losses, it is not suitable to fight again, and the minister implored the king of Wu to take the overall situation as the main situation, and lose some face, and send the minister to Chengdu to meet the second brother of the minister, saying that he would take advantage of the benefits and disadvantages to rebuild the alliance between Han and Wu, so that Guan Ping would strike the army and make peace, so that the king of Wu would have a chance to breathe and seize the time to recuperate. ”

As soon as this voice fell, Sun Quan's face surged violently, as if his anger was rising, his fists were clenched, and he roared: "The thief Guan Ping is pressing step by step, so deceitful too much, do you want to go and ask for peace in a low voice?" ”

When the words fell, Sun Quan was so angry that he pulled out the sword from the scabbard and cut off the left corner of the case with one sword.

For a moment, Zhuge Jin was taken aback.

It's just that he hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, and arched his hand: "I also hope that King Wu can endure the humiliation and burden, take the overall situation as the priority, and protect the Jiangdong Foundation as a good policy......"

When these words were revealed, the rest of the people in the hall also got up and knelt down and pleaded: "I hope that King Wu will put the overall situation first!" ”

For a while, in the face of the exhortation of the ministers, Sun Quan trampled his forehead and forced himself to calm down, he thought for a while, thinking about how high-spirited and confident he was when he once raised more than 100,000 people to the west to Jingxiang, but now he is so depressed.

It has reached the point of giving up face to ask for peace.

Based on this, Sun Quan smiled bitterly, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhuge Jin's words were indeed for the sake of the overall situation, and after a long time, he waved his hand helplessly: "Ziyu, you go down and prepare for a while, and then get ready to go!" ”
