Han, twenty-four years of Jian'an.

This year is destined to be an extraordinary year.

First, the Battle of Hanzhong, which lasted for two years, ended with Cao Cao's crushing defeat and Liu Bei's complete victory.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Feng and Meng Da also sent troops into the three counties of Shangyong, relying on the prestige of Hanzhong, in just over 20 days, they swept through several counties in eastern Han, forcing the wealthy families led by the local Shen family to surrender their cities.

Secondly, in the middle of July this year, Guan Yunchang, the governor of Jingzhou, also led the people of Jingzhou to take the Northern Expedition in response to the victory in Hanzhong, with the goal of directly taking Xiangfan.

In this battle, Guan Yu skillfully took advantage of the convenience of the torrential rain to break the Han River, creating the great achievement of flooding the Seventh Army, capturing the forbidden life, and forcing Pang De to land.

Similarly, around October, Jiangdong suddenly betrayed the Jingzhou army, and Sun Quan turned to Cao Cao, the king of Wei, to become a vassal to Cao Wei, allied with Cao Wei, and sent troops to attack Jingzhou.

attempt, in order to take the opportunity to capture Jingxiang County, all according to Jiangnan.

Of course, in the end, the Wu army's sneak attack intention was broken.

Guan Yu and Guan Ping, father and son, successively returned to defense.

Lü Meng led the main force to besiege the important town of Jiangling, and Huang Gai, Ling Tong and other people marched west to Yiling, intending to enter the gorge and hold the danger.

Unfortunately, although it took a month and a half, the Wu army had nothing but to capture the two counties where the garrison was extremely empty.

On the contrary, more than thousands of people were lost in the Hanjin tributary, the general Gan Ning was damaged, and the important town of Xiakou was lost.

In this battle, to this day, the two sides have held each other and the battle is a draw.

From the analysis of the overall situation, the Wu army lost troops and lost generals, and the important town located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River, and the bridgehead Xiakou City of Wu was also captured.

This battle was a fiasco!

It must be known that the Wu army attacked against the alliance, but it caught the Jingzhou army by surprise, but now the battle situation is stalemate, not only has there been no progress, but the winter front has also lost again and again.

This can't help but make people think, if Guan Yu is well prepared, wantonly attacks Wu, and goes straight down the river, can the Wu army really resist the Jingzhou army?

Winter, November 15th.

Shangyong, built the first city.

The government office.

At this moment, the main general Liu Feng was in the main position, holding a letterhead, and was carefully examining.

At the bottom of the stairs, on the left are the generals of the army headed by Meng Da.

On the right, there are a group of officials in the city led by Shen Tan, the former Shangyong County Shou.

Take a look at it.

Liu Feng raised his head, looked around, his eyes couldn't help but sweep the expressions of everyone, then he raised the letterhead and said loudly: "Everyone, this is an urgent letter sent by the messenger sent by Guan Yu, the governor of Jingzhou. ”

"As mentioned in the letter, the general situation is that Guan Yu led the crowd to fight with the Cao army on the front line of Xiangfan, and the fierce battle was in full swing, but Sun Quan suddenly betrayed the alliance and turned to the alliance with Cao Thief to attack our army together."

"Now, Wu General Governor Lu Meng has led the crowd to attack Jingzhou, Guan Yu is in a hurry, and the special messenger asks for help from the general."

The voice fell.

He couldn't help but change his words and muttered, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you think that our army should lead the people to help? ”

"Young master, the last general thinks that he should be helped."

"With the temperament of Guan Junhou, if it weren't for the extremely unfavorable situation, he would not have asked for help several times in such a mobilization, and now that this has happened, the last general thinks that our army cannot sit idly by."

"Hmph, Sun Quan's villain, a few years ago, he suddenly betrayed the alliance and ordered Lu Meng'er to attack several counties in Jingnan, forcing the King of Han to sign the Xiangshui Alliance, and returning the three counties to Wu, in order to repay the favor of Nanjun at the beginning."

"But now, Sun Quan Xiao'er is not satisfied, and he is still in the same league with the Cao thief and sneak attack us, this kind of behavior is no different from a villain!"

"Young master, aid Guan Junhou and kill all the Wu thieves."

A seat fell.

I saw that the generals who slowly heard that there had been a sudden change in Jingzhou, suddenly showed anger at this moment, so they asked for war one after another, and gave up their hands.

Between the words, they were all firm words that vowed to return to Jingzhou and expel the Wu thief.

In the next second, Liu Feng waved his hand to stop the crowd, looked to the right side again, and said slowly: "Shen Taishou, in your opinion, can our army lead the crowd to help?" ”

Of course, even though he asked such a question, he was also smiling without smiling, testing Shen Tan's loyalty.

He knows very well that the temperament of the Hao family is to put the family first, and he will not sincerely defect to any of the princes.

Whatever is beneficial to the family, these wealthy families will do whatever it takes to implement it recklessly.

Therefore, Liu Feng was also worried in his heart at the moment, if he led the people to aid Jingzhou, what would happen if the wealthy families in the rear of the Shangyong counties took the opportunity to make trouble?

As the chief general who is now guarding several counties in Handong, he also has to consider this.

When the words fell, Shen Tan couldn't help but ponder for a while, and then arched his hand and said: "General, with the words of Tan, you should lead the people to help Jingzhou." ”

"After all, now that Dongwu has betrayed the alliance and turned to connect with Cao Thief, the two armies will be in harmony, and their strength will be far stronger than that of Guan Junhou."

"I'm worried that the prince will not be able to resist the attack in the face of the combined attack of the two families, which will lead to the loss of Jingzhou."

"Therefore, the general should lead the people to support in order to enhance the strength of the prince and the prince, and jointly deal with the Cao and Wu army, so as not to suffer the enemy on the back of the Jingzhou army."

A word.

As Shen Tan arched his words, his expression was calm, but it made people feel that he was really giving advice to himself.

"Shen Tan, I will never be so kind and give me advice."

"He must have other intentions, and it seems that he must not lead the crowd away in the matter of aid."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid that all the places will be lost!"

After hearing this, Liu Feng didn't say anything for a while, but muttered to himself, thinking about weighing the pros and cons.

After a pause, he couldn't help but say: "No, Meng Da is ambitious, and he has always been proud of his achievements, and he feels that he is not satisfied with the position of a county guard with his own merit of welcoming his father into Shu." ”

"I also have to keep an eye on this person at all times, otherwise, he will definitely poke out Da Lou Zi at a critical moment."

At this moment, he groaned secretly, thinking.

In the original history, Liu Feng and Meng Da did not agree, and the gap was quite deep.

According to the official history, it is said that Liu Feng suppressed Meng Da and finally forced him away and defected to Cao Wei.

In fact, since joining forces with him, Liu Feng has slowly observed that Meng Da has strong ambitions, and he is by no means satisfied with his position as a county guard.

He understood that if he was not promoted, he would inevitably have a different heart.

Therefore, this is also the reason why he has not given him a good face all along.

Shen Tan's words fell.

The rest of the original officials also did the same, and surrendered their hands to fight.

Of course, there are naturally a few officials among them, who are also opposed.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the heart and soul between the wealthy families.

Deliberately!

After thinking for a while, Liu Feng got up suddenly, his face suddenly became serious, and he instantly crushed the letterhead in his hand, and then shouted: "The general has made a decision, and the whole army will continue to stand by and postpone the rescue of Jingzhou." ”

"Now that the Shangyong counties are newly taken, there are still many thieves in the territory to make trouble, our army should be exterminated with the power of thunder, and should not lead the army to run around."

The voice fell.

He suddenly patted the case, and then settled the matter.

That is a refusal of aid.
