Chapter 101: Letterhead

"Yuncheng is lost!"

In the big tent, when everyone heard about this military situation, they were greatly surprised, and they did not come back to their senses for a while.

Hearing this, Guan Yu also looked solemn, stared slightly, and said, "What is the current situation in the northern defense line?" ”

"Qi Yu Junhou, after the enemy general Xu Huang made a plan to break through Yuncheng, Liao Zhubo took the opportunity to make a quick decision to protect the two lines of defense of Deng Sai and Deng County, but the situation was not ideal, Cao Jun was strong, and the pressure on our army doubled."

"Therefore, Lord Liao Bo specially ordered the villain to gallop back to the big tent, tell the prince the truth, and hope to make a decision as soon as possible!"

As soon as the words fell, Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes condensed slightly, and he muttered secretly for a moment, and then said: "Why can't you stop it, Xu Huang's department is just a new army that has just experienced the battle formation, how can it compete with my elite?" ”

In fact, after Guan Yu knew that it was Xu Huang who led the troops to help, he was not careless, and sent 8,000 troops to defend the northern defense line, but now he has lost a defense line, not to mention that other defense lines have also been suppressed.

At this moment, Guan Yu was furious, and his words were shouting loudly.

Hearing this, the sergeant in the tent saw that he was domineering, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart, and said with a little weakness: "Junhou, after the enemy general Xu Huang made a plan to break through Yuncheng, Cao Thief sent Yin Department and Zhu Gai to lead the twelve battalions of elite assistance. ”

"Today, the strength of Cao's army is far superior to our army's northern defense line, so Liao Zhubo will be in a hurry."

As soon as these words came out, the tent was suddenly silent, Wang Fu thought of something in an instant, and blurted out: "Cao ...... Cao Cao went south. ”

This was almost an instinctive speech, and Ma Liang pondered for a moment, and then said: "Prince, ladies and gentlemen, what Wang Yi Cao said is good, these twelve battalions of troops include the elite of the army under Cao Thief, but now they are all handed over to Xu Huang as the vanguard to attack our army. ”

"Cao Thief has been in Luoyang ten days ago, just think about it, he should be going south to rescue Cao Ren in person."

After a pause, Ma Liang immediately bowed his hand and said: "Prince, now that Fancheng is difficult to break, Cao Cao personally went south, just in case, our army should immediately cross the river by boat and defend Xiangyang." ”

As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu weighed it at this moment, and his heart was vaguely shaken, but he didn't make a decision for a long time!

"Prince, don't hesitate, the soldiers are fast."

In the middle of the ring, Wang Fu stood up and arched his hand.

When the words fell, he saw Guan Yu's nearly nine-foot body standing up in an instant, with a serious face, and said in a loud voice: "Wang Fu, Zhao Lei listen to the order." ”

"Xu Huang has the talent of a general, and now he has the help of the elite of the 12th battalion, and the commander is afraid that Liao Hua will be difficult to resist, so he decided to ride 5,000 to the north on foot and return with the soldiers."

"Therefore, Ben Shuai temporarily ordered the two of you to hold the camp tightly and continue to besiege Fancheng, so as not to prevent Cao Ren from taking the opportunity to send troops to flank our army."

"No!"

When the words fell, he heard that Guan Yu had the intention of retreating, Wang Fu was overjoyed in his heart, so he immediately gave up.

At this moment, the sergeant who had just reported the military situation couldn't help but say: "Junhou, there is one more thing that the villain has not yet reported." ”

"What?"

Hearing this, Guan Yu's face remained unchanged, stroked his long beard, and said.

"When the enemy general Xu Huang led the crowd to fight fiercely with our army, the soldiers of Cao shouted one after another, Cao Sun has been allied, and the Wu army has attacked on a large scale to capture Jingzhou."

As soon as these words fell, the generals in the tent were suddenly shocked and looked at each other.

The generals led by Zhao Lei have always been of the same opinion as Guan Yu, and they look down on the Wu army at all, so they never thought that the Wu army would take the opportunity to attack him.

Previously, when the sergeants sent by Guan Ping returned, they had found Zhang Liao's troops who had come to help, although they guessed that it might be the Caosun Alliance, but they didn't take it too seriously!

"Prince, the last general thinks that this is a trick of the Cao thief, and his purpose is to try to disturb the morale of our army, so as to take advantage of the victory to attack, we can't easily believe it."

For a while, Zhao Lei stood up first and retorted.

After the words fell, Ma Liang thought about it slowly, and then explained: "No, in my opinion, this matter is not like Cao Jun's nonsense, it should be true." ”

"Why?"

Hearing this, Guan Yu also showed doubts and muttered asking.

"Princes, ladies and gentlemen, according to Liang, Cao Thief should have reached an alliance with Sun Quan to jointly attack our army, according to Cao Thief's treachery, he must have falsely passed on the edict of the Son of Heaven to cut off the land south of the Yangtze River."

"According to Sun Quan's desire to covet Jingzhou, he will readily promise that he will definitely take advantage of the emptiness of our army's rear to send troops to attack."

After a while, Zhao Lei couldn't help but say: "Sir, then according to what you say, since the Cao Sun Alliance is here, why does the Cao army still make a big deal about it and let our army know?" ”

"If our army doesn't know anything, isn't the chance of Sun Quan's sneak attack succeeding greatly increased, then why does he still need to tell it?"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals in the tent looked suspicious, and looked closely at Ma Liang.

Hearing this, Ma Liang looked around, his face remained unchanged, and he chuckled: "Hehe! This is the treacherous part of the Cao thief! ”

"Although our army is strong, Cao Thief needs to use the Wu army to contend with it, but he doesn't want Sun Quan to really take all of Jiangnan."

"Think about it, if our army is defeated and the Wu army captures Jingzhou and occupies all the land south of the Yangtze River, then Sun Quan will definitely increase his power at that time, and the threat to Cao Thief will be enough to surpass our army, so wouldn't it be more stressful?"

"That's why Cao Thief made this decision, on the one hand, he united with the Wu army to fight against our army, and on the other hand, he informed me of Sun Quan's intentions, wanting our army to retreat in the face of difficulties, return to Jingzhou, and compete with the Wu army, so that he can rest and recuperate, and the fisherman will benefit!"

"I have to say, Cao Thief thinks very well."

Ma Liang analyzed the words properly, and the generals gradually understood Cao Cao's intentions.

As soon as these words fell, before everyone could speak, there was another sound of footsteps outside the tent, and a guard with a knife rushed in one after another, arching his hand and saying: "Prince, the scouts who just inspected the outside of Fan City found that there were arrows shot in the city, and then they found that they were all headless arrows, and there were letters tied to them. ”

"When the scout saw this, he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly brought it back, and the prince asked him to take a look."

As soon as the words fell, the guard stepped forward and put the dozens of letterheads he had just received from the scout's hands on the desk, and then withdrew from the tent.

Immediately, Guan Yu slowly picked up the letterheads one by one and looked at them, and after half a loud sound, he couldn't help but look solemn, and said: "Everyone, the content on these letterheads is the same, all of them are the news that Cao Sun has been allied, Sun Quan has reorganized his army for war, and is about to attack Jingzhou. ”

"Ji Chang, what you said is right, it seems that Wu Jun betrayed the alliance, and nine times out of ten it is a fact."

It was not until this moment that Guan Yu's face became solemn in an instant, and he began to pay attention to Wu Jun behind him.

Even if he heard that Zhang Liao's subordinates had come to help, he only guessed, but he was lucky and didn't take it to heart.

Hearing this, Ma Liang's face was serious, and he arched his hand and said: "Junhou, it seems that what the young general said is indeed true, so quickly lead the army to withdraw and return to defense." ”

"The major general only has a few thousand troops under his command, and once the Wu army attacks with all its might, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop it for long."

When the words fell, Guan Yu condensed and said loudly: "Okay, you and other leaders will stick to the camp and prevent Cao Ren's headquarters in the city. ”

"No!"

At this moment, the generals in the tent showed embarrassment on their faces and promised to make promises, and no one continued to leave the psychology of fierce battles.
