Previously, in Mingqiu, Guan Ping commanded Zhang Bao and Zhao Tong in the name of Ma Liang, but after returning to Zigui, he played his own banner.

"Guan", "Zhao", and "Zhang" are banners, and the wind is waving, and the army is more than 10,000 south.

At this moment, Yan Yan's water village is in Jiangbei. Although many soldiers were lost in the attack on the city, and the morale was lowered, there were still more than 13,000 men and horses.

And there are countless naval warships, which can retreat at any time. And the old general Yan Yan is also prestige enough, Yan Yan closed the gate of the camp and could not be garrisoned.

After Guan Ping arrived in the north of the water village, on the one hand, he ordered Zhao Tong and Zhang Bao to repair the camp, and on the other hand, he led more than 3,000 ironclad soldiers to challenge in front of Yanyan Water Village.

The last time Guan Ping was in the area of Brazil County, he once confronted Yan Yan. At that time, Guan Ping sent people to Yan Yan's military camp to scold, trying to provoke Yan Yan and let Yan Yan come out to fight to the death.

At that time, as long as Yan Yan is killed, he will have a chance to occupy Bazhong.

At this time, people have hit the doorstep, and if Yan Yan can be killed, the situation will be very different. So Guan Ping personally rode his horse to Yanyan Water Village, rolled up his sleeves and scolded himself.

"Yan Yan Lao'er, shrunken turtle. In vain, you claim to be brave and good at fighting, and you are the tiger general of Yizhou. But they didn't dare to go out of the camp to fight. ”

"Yan Yan, I'm not more than eighteen. You're decades old, but you don't dare to fight me. ”

"There is no one in Yizhou, no one in Yizhou."

Guan Ping took his big knife and led the ironclad soldiers to shout and scold in front of Yan Yan Water Village, only to personally attack and greet Yan Yan's family.

But Yan Yan is as steady as an old dog, and he doesn't move at all.

On the gate of the northern camp of the water village, the flag of the word "strict" flew with the river wind, showing teeth and claws. Under the banner stood archers, pikemen.

Although the ironclad soldiers have a high defense, if they climb the ladder to climb the camp, they are also more dangerous, and there is a risk of being pushed down.

Moreover, Yan Yan's department is indeed elite.

So Yan Yan is as steady as an old dog.

Yan Yan stood in the center, surrounded by soldiers. When the soldiers around heard Guan Ping's scolding, they were all furious and asked for battle.

He put on his armor and pressed his sword, and looked at Guan Ping who was scolding with a sneer. Yan Yan said: "This is a strong man for a while, and he is proud of his strength, which is why he is so rampant. If you send troops at this moment, you will be right here. Hang up the war-free card, wait for good students to be on guard, do not go to war, and those who violate it will be killed. I'll go back to sleep and let him jump up and down and continue singing. ”

With that, Yan Yan turned around and went down the camp gate and led his own soldiers to leave.

Yan Yan had prestige, so the defenders didn't dare to say anything to fight, so they could only look at Guan Ping aggrievedly, their anger was accumulating, and there was nowhere to vent.

At the moment, the sun is very hot, and the weather is very hot. The armor was heavy and stuffy, Guan Ping led the soldiers to shout and curse in front of the water village for a while, sweating profusely, and ordered his soldiers to take water to drink, but they were still thirsty.

Just standing, I'm afraid that the soldiers are at risk of heat stroke.

Although the ironclad soldiers are awesome, their weaknesses are also very obvious. Guan Ping had no choice but to lead his troops back. When Guan Ping led the troops back, Zhao Tong and Zhang Bao had already set up camp.

Guan Ping ordered the ironclad soldiers to disarm and rest. Then returned to the big tent with Zhao Tong, Zhang Bao, Zhou Xiong and others, and Zhou Xiong first relieved Guan Ping.

Guan Ping put the sword on the sword seat next to him, and further unbuttoned his shirt, wearing only a short shirt, sweating profusely. Guan Ping scolded: "It's really an old man, he can't even shrink when I scold him like this." ”

"The weather is hot and dry, General Ming should not make a big fuss." Zhao Tong, the elder brother, was very gentle, and personally took water and gave it to Guan Ping to drink.

Guan Ping drank the cold water, and the fire in his heart dropped a lot.

"Yan Yan can't shrink out, and we are trapped in Zigui. Now Huang Gai ordered Pan Zhangtun to be on guard in Mingqiu and lead the army eastward, at this moment, I am afraid that he is already plundering Nanjun and Jiangxia counties. The East is in danger. ”

Zhang Bao, the humble brother, is worried about the current situation.

"There is no way, I can only look at my father, Zhuge Liang and their decision. I can only stay here and watch, next to Yan Yan's old thief. ”

Guan Ping snapped and snorted angrily.

This is the reason why Guan Ping is so angry, although he won and returned, it did not have much impact on the overall situation, and Yan Yan's participation in the war was too bad for the Guan family.

"I'm tired, go get some sleep. You wait for a good student to be on guard against Yan Yan's sneak attack. Guan Ping was very annoyed, so he simply left it alone and went to sleep.

"No."

Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong, Zhou Xiong and others promised.

As a result, on the Western Front, the two sides reached a stalemate and were at peace for the time being. And the Eastern Battlefield is in full swing.

There are ten county seats in the entire southern county, and Guanping currently occupies three county seats, but only Zigui has a population. Because when Ma Liang entered Zigui, he was worried that Xiahou Yuan would move the people, so Ma Liang first moved the people outside Zigui and migrated to Fangling.

And Zhou Yu occupied the empty city of Jiangling, and there were still six cities left. At the beginning of the war, Zhou Yu, Ma Liang, and Zhuge Liang all sent people to persuade the county orders of these six cities to join him.

In addition, Jiangxia has several cities in this area.

As a result, Ma Liang and Zhuge Liang took advantage, and the people of Jingzhou did not fight the people of Jingzhou, so these counties were attached to the Guan family. Although Sun Quan had 90,000 soldiers in Jiangbei, he only occupied the empty city of Jiangling.

When Sun Quan sent Huang Gai, Pan Zhang, and Zhou Tai to occupy Mingqiu, he only left 20,000 sailors behind, and ordered the remaining 30,000 troops to attack the counties.

The county commanders of these six cities did not dare to resist Sun Quan's army, and all of them brought cronies, as well as officials who were willing to join the Guan family, or went north to Dangyang, or east to Zhuge Liang of Chengyang County.

In this way, Jiangdong is no longer an isolated city of Jiangling in Nanjun, and because of the vast territory it occupies and a small number of troops are stationed respectively, it is more difficult for Zhao Yun's cavalry to be vertical and horizontal.

And Guan Ping, who was famous, was driven away again, and the grain road began to become stable.

After plundering, Sun Quan commanded 30,000 elite soldiers, plus Huang Gai, and more than 15,000 soldiers of Zhou Tai converged, intending to attack Jiangxia Chongcheng with a large army and become Yangcheng.

Chengyang City is not only the land of Guanjiatun grain, with a lot of grain and grass, but also the place where Zhuge Liang cantoned his troops, with 4,000 elite soldiers.

Although the Jiangdong soldiers are not as elite as the Cao army, if they attack Chengyang City with 40,000 or 50,000 horses, Zhuge Liang may be difficult to resist.

But fortunately, before that, Guan Ping sent someone to inform Dangyang Li Zheng and Xiangyang Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun's cavalry also got the news first and told Zhuge Liang, Wang Wei and others.

The Guan family also began to lay out.

The first to act, the one who dared to act was Li Zheng, a general under Guan Ping. Prior to this, Li Zheng attacked Xiahou Yuan and robbed back more than 100,000 people in Jiangling City.

So he was stationed on the spot, and Zhao Yun also came on the way, and then returned to Zhuge Liang in the east, and was ordered to attack Sun Quan's grain road.

The garrison in the Dangyang area is only Li Zheng.

And the hundreds of thousands of people who were taken back from Xiahou Yuan were also settled separately. A part of the population who were willing to go to Xiangyang was arranged to go to Xiangyang for resettlement.

The people who wanted to wait to return to Gangneung City in the south were relocated to Dangyang, the area around the curse, away from the front line. Li Zheng himself was stationed outside Dangyang City, recuperating on the one hand, and recruiting soldiers on the other hand to make up for the previous battle losses.

At present, Li Zheng's men and horses have been restored to ten military candidates, with more than 5,500 people.

The armor rate is extremely high, and the food is also abundant.

When the news reached Li Zheng's camp, Li Zheng was roasting sheep in the big tent to eat. Roast whole lamb. The sheep is roasted over a charcoal fire, spiced and roasted until golden brown.

The grease fell, poof, poof.

The aroma is overflowing.

There were two of Li Zheng's personal soldiers next to him, who were busy working. Li Zheng saw that the sheep was ripe, so he picked up a knife, held a plate, and bent down to cut the mutton to eat.

The lamb is delicious, but the taste is a little lighter. Li Zheng picked up the salt again and sprinkled some of it.

"Cut half a sheep and give it to Sima." Li Zheng sucked his fingers, ordered his soldiers, and planned to go back with the plate and sit down and eat slowly.

"No." The soldier said yes, picked up the knife and planned to do it. Then he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a soldier came in from outside, holding a bamboo tube in his hand.

"Report to the general, Guan Yangwu's letter." Li Zheng immediately put down the plate, took the bamboo tube, took out the silk cloth in it, and frowned after looking it up and down.

"Order Sima to order the troops, prepare enough dry food for ten days, and a small number of tents." Li Zheng commanded.

"No." The soldier who was going to cut the mutton immediately put down the knife and hurriedly went down. Soon after, Li Zheng's military camp was alarmed, and the men and horses began to gather.

Li Zheng himself sat down, picked up the silk cloth and spread it out, and took up a pen to write a letter.

"General, why did you suddenly order troops?" Li Zheng's battalion Sima hurriedly walked in from outside, looking confused.

Li Zheng first put the written letter into a bamboo tube, sealed it, and ordered his soldiers to send it to Xiangyang quickly. Then he handed the letter sent by Guan Ping to Ying Sima.

After watching it, Ying Sima was stunned and said: "Yizhou Yan Yan actually sent troops to attack Zigui? Guan Yangwu gave up his name and asked for help to save Zigui? In this way, Sun Quan's active troops have greatly increased. ”

Guan Ping's men and horses hoarded in Mingqiu not only threatened Sun Quan's grain route, but also curbed Sun Quan's troops. Yan Yan's biggest role is here.

"I estimate that Sun Quan has already sent troops to Nanjun, and there are no troops in Nanjun, only 4,000 troops from Zhuge Jiangxia are in Chengyang City. There is a lot of grain and grass hoarded there, and it would be a pity to give it up. And it is extremely meaningful to hold Chengyang, even if it is a lonely city. Because if the Jiangdong people captured all the places, they could raise a large army and camp in Gangneung, and then set up a camp in the northeast of Gangneung, near Hanshui, leaving a small number of men and horses to confront us. Sun Quan could lead a large army back to Jiangdong. In this way, Nanjun and Jiangxia were lost, and Sun Quan could stabilize Jiangdong again, which was unfavorable to the situation. If we hold Cheng Yang, Sun Quan will need to divide his troops to monitor Cheng Yang. This opportunity is fleeting, and I need to lead my troops to rescue Zhuge Jiangxia. The two sides have a combined army of 10,000 troops, plus Chengyang has sufficient grain and grass, and the population is quite large, so it is not a problem to garrison for a year. ”

Li Zheng explained why he ordered troops, but he was very keen, as long as he kept the importance of Chengyang, even if it was a lonely city.
