About the third watch, Sun Quan came to the mountain camp.

At this time, I didn't know about Liu Ba's stabbing of Liu Bei, and the battle reports from all sides came, and the head of the Han Dynasty general Huang Zhong, the general Liu Min, and the Yin of the Dian army were successively presented to the front.

The more than 20,000 people under Zhu Ran's command were shot away by Guan Yu's naval division, Xu Sheng's battalion successfully defended, Zhang Liao's forward occupied the west of Jukou, and Guan Yu led the main force to withdraw from Jukou.

One after another military information converged in front of him, but Sun Quan hesitated.

Zhang Liao in the north helped the battle, and Pan Zhang's army slashed the fierce general Huang Zhong It was already an incredible victory, but why did Li Yan deliberately withdraw his troops to avoid the battle, and Guan Yu retreated hastily with a large army?

A trick to lure the enemy?

Impossible, the Han army lost more than 10,000 people of Huang Zhong, as long as Li Yanzhan stayed in place to block Zhang Liao, the Han army on the north bank still had room to counterattack.

But Li Yan withdrew his troops, and Guan Yu's main force had to retreat, and Guan Yu, who retreated, noticed the teams of Zhu Ran and Quan Cong on the south bank, and sent the naval division warships to attack, forcing Zhu Ran to have more than 20,000 people, and the North Route Army, which was attacked at night on the south bank, was beaten back with a blow.

The major counteroffensive on the south bank lacks the most shocking blow, and I am afraid that the results will be limited.

At about the fourth watch, the latest military information was interrogated from the mouths of the captive military officials, and the flying horses were sent to the camp in the upper and lower mountains.

Sun Quan held Liu Bei's report of being seriously ill, and his hateful teeth itched and clenched the root of his teeth: "Hateful!" Our naval division battleship has gone to attack Huang Quan! ”

Relying only on the warships of Jiang Qinjiang Zhushui Village to fight Guan Yu, they will definitely not be able to defeat it; The Chinese naval division led by Zhu Huan participated in the night attack on the South Road, withdrew from Huze and went to Fankou, and then went north to join the Wei army and the Deng Sai naval army, and I am afraid that they will not be able to reach Xiakou until tomorrow evening to participate in the battle.

Zhuge Jin looked at the map, it was Zhang Liao who made contributions on the north bank, and there may have been a bad deal on the south bank.

Sun Quan held back the regret in his heart and the impulse to personally lead the army to pursue Guan Yu: "The herald is to take Zhu Ran as the former military governor, and the governors Quan Cong, Hu Zong, Jiang Qin, Zhou Yin, and Xu Sheng cooperate with Zhang Liao to pursue Guan Yu. Inform the Wei army's sailors to help in the battle. ”

The original Zhangnan camp on the north bank of Hankou, Tian Xin settled in this camp when the sky was about to dawn, and the battle reports on the south bank also came one after another.

Yesterday, the Jiangdong Army failed to storm the Huangquan camp, and then turned to attack the Shamoke camp, Tian Yu and Wenpin led the army to rescue, and the two armies fought until dawn before they retreated back to the camp.

The Wu army did not take advantage, and the Han army did not expect the Wu army to dare to attack at night, and Shamoke's department suffered heavy losses, almost playing a one-to-one exchange ratio.

Tian Xin held the battle report sent by Huang Quan, and with the reserves of the battalions on the south bank, the military rations could still last for eight days.

Except for special strongholds, which accumulate a large amount of grain, the supply and transportation of all battalions on the front line, whether it is easy or difficult, are basically small shares and multiple batches of supply.

The army on the north bank held Hankou, and even if the naval division was defeated, the army on the north bank could retreat safely; But the army on the south bank really can't be withdrawn, and it will be defeated as soon as it withdraws.

Therefore, when Sun Quan reacts, the Wu army will do its best to besiege the army on the south bank.

Huang Quan should alternately withdraw his troops to the Xiakou area, and the denser the defensive camp, the smaller the area that the Wu army needs to blockade, and the Wu army's forces can also be gathered to form a thicker encirclement.

What really decided the fate of the Han army on the south bank should be another water battle, the Han army won, Huang Quan and Tian Yu were unimpeded, and the Wu army was surrounded by difficult results.

I only hope that the grain in the rear will not be burned to the black nest and the like, otherwise the army on the south bank will be finished.

"Junhou, the Wei army's advance has reached twenty miles away!"

When the detective arrived, Tian Xin gathered his thoughts: "All the armies put on armor and went out of the camp to line up. ”

Liu Bei's camp, when Guan Yu arrived, Liu Bei was lying on his back on the bed, the bed was surrounded by plain yarn curtains, and Liu Bei looked at the clouds outside from the skylight of the big tent.

Guan Yu took off his boots and approached gently: "Your Majesty? ”

"I'm fine, Yun Chang will speak closer."

Guan Yu approached, sat on the edge of the bed, and saw Liu Bei pick up the short dagger on the side and hand it out: "Liu Ba stabbed me, but he had no murderous intent, it's really ridiculous." ”

The short dagger was in his hands, Guan Yu squinted and observed, this is a short dagger used by scribes, which is often used to scrape and wipe typos on bamboo slips, so the blade length is only five inches.

Liu Ba's short dagger is polished and smooth like a mirror, not like a dagger smeared with poison.

Liu Bei uncovered the wound on the velvet quilt to expose the bandaging of the abdomen, and pointed to the wound: "He only stabbed the belly, and thought that he would hang my intestines with a dagger, but he didn't want to let go easily." and used the mandate of heaven to prevaricate and fool everyone, what did he want to do? ”

Guan Yu was silent, and Liu Bei was depressed: "I know about Li Yan's unauthorized withdrawal of troops, is the situation so bad?" ”

Guan Yu was always silent, and Liu Bei said slowly: "Since the Eastern Crusade, Yun Chang has been in front, but there are few people who can speak to me left and right. Get close to the old ministers or lead the troops in front, or stay in Yizhou to guard the gate. In the blink of an eye, he became a loner. Yun Chang, did you say that day Xiaoxian sensed that someone was trying to assassinate me? ”

"No, if he notices, he will warn his minister."

Guan Yu opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty can return to Jiangling with the sailor, and the minister and Huang Gongheng will break off." ”

"I am unwilling to withdraw troops like this."

Liu Bei turned his head to look at the sky outside the skylight, and his tone was gloomy: "I am waiting for the news of the fire in Jiangling." ”

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to get angry with the rats. Wait for the containment of soldiers and horses, and fight again next year. ”

"Yun Chang, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until next year."

Liu Bei closed his eyes, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes: "I'm worried about Yide, I should warn Yide again and again." Yide is light and defenseless, and he is old and weak, if there is a change from side to side, how can he hide? I shouldn't let Xiao Xian break off, Yun Chang, I want to send a knight to answer Xiao Xian, and ask Yun Chang to transport it to Hankou with a sailor. ”

In terms of cavalry, Liu Bei and Guan Yu combined also have a cavalry force of 3,000 people.

The cavalry of the Han army in the entire Jingyi two states added up to about 8,000 cavalry.

Guan Yu also said: "Li Yan withdrew his troops without authorization, and now he is gathered outside, I am afraid that something will happen." ”

"I cast a rat bogey, and Li Yan's matter is self-determined."

Guan Yu's expression collapsed by three points, and he heard Liu Bei say: "If you take Guan Long first, you won't be in today's embarrassment." But the thieves and Jiangdong will never sit idly by and watch me take the pass. The development of the world is really unpredictable. But filial piety first saw it thoroughly, and it was I who misunderstood him. ”

With another breath, Liu Bei said slowly: "If I save for two years and have enough food for the soldiers, how dare the ministers of the small night make a mistake?" With Cao Pi's greed, if I don't move, he will plot against Jiangdong. Sun Power is weak and lonely, and he has a request for me, so I just waved my troops to the Northern Expedition to seize Guanlong and look forward to the Central Plains. In this matter, Yun Chang should keep in mind that he should not rush to Jiangdong. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty can rest assured that the minister will be promoted to the director of the account and transfer the armies to resist the enemy."

Liu Bei bowed his head slightly and smiled.

Guan Yu got up and took a few steps back, turned around and walked out of the big tent, and there was a heavy drum beating outside the tent, which lifted the morale of the army.

In the rhythmic sound of the drums, the scattered hearts also have a neat rhythm when they beat.

"Boom! Knock knock! ”

"Boom! Knock knock! ”

In the north two miles of the Hankou camp, the sun was white, and the drums were beating Nakata Shin in full armor, riding Mondo, holding the sun and moon with long lances between his arms, and hanging demon armor around the formation.

Mondo stamped with four hooves and walked happily, and a pair of dark and bright eyes looked at the world outside the horse armor.

Every time Tian Xin passed through a 200-person infantry array, he caused the troops to cheer, and in a circle, Tian Xin rode his horse and galloped through the Wei army's forward battle flag a mile away!
