Xiangyang, an important town in Jingzhou, is close to Jingshan Mountain in the west and Xiangjiang River in the east, which is the throat of Jiangling in the south, and has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

Zhou Cang was stationed in Xiangyang on the order of Guan Yu, and he had a big responsibility for a while, which made him a little restless. Guan Yu has been in Xinye for more than half a month, these days, Zhou Cang is worried every day, for fear of losing the trust of the general, the first thing he opens his eyes every day is to patrol outside the city, and arrange light and dark sentry posts to guard against the enemy.

The soldiers in the city will be transferred by Guan Yu, and there are only 5,000 defenders, which makes him dare not slack off. Lu Bu claimed that the army of 300,000 was in Nanyang, if the cavalry rushed, it was only a two-day journey, in case of change, Zhou Cang only slept for two hours a day, and several times to strengthen the city defense, ready to defend the city, it can be said that it is walking on thin ice.

On this day, when the sky was just dawning, a scout rushed to inform him: "Report to the general, Fancheng was attacked by Lu Bu, the defenders were all killed, and the enemy army of about 5,000 pioneers is coming towards my Xiangyang." ”

Zhou Cang was shocked, Fancheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is the gateway to Xiangyang, General Guan has already ordered the defenders to garrison 5,000 where to guard, that is, to hold the portal, not to make Lu Bu easy to go south, I don't know what the defenders will do to eat, it is so easy to fall this important place into the hands of the enemy, now the door of Xiangyang is wide open, the enemy army can go all the way south, and there is no hindrance, Xiangyang will have a catastrophe.

Asked anxiously: "Where is General Guan?" ”

A soldier said: "General Guan is still facing off against Lu Bu's army in Xinye, and I am afraid that I will not have time to separate." ”

Zhou Cang hurriedly ordered: "Quickly send a report to the general of the customs, and say that Lu Bu divided his troops to attack Fancheng successfully, and Xiangyang is in danger, please be sure to rush to help, otherwise Xiangyang is in danger!" ”

The general took the order to leave, and Zhou Cang ordered the scouts again: "If you investigate the military situation in Fancheng again, you must find out how many people Lu Bu has come, and who led the troops, and report to me quickly." ”

The scout received the order and hurried out of the camp. Zhou Cang was like an ant on a hot pot, and he was at a loss and said to the left and right generals: "Now that the enemy is present, General Guan is far away in Xinye, I am afraid that it will be difficult to rush to help for a while, we must defend the city, not easily go to war, and wait until General Guan returns with troops, Xiangyang will be stable." ”

Although Lu Bu is still in Fancheng, his reputation for good warfare spreads all over Kyushu, even if it is a hundred miles away, everyone also feels that the pressure is great, and now the plan can only be carefully prepared to defend the city, so as not to come to the city when Lu Bu's soldiers come to the city, and Xiangyang is negligent in taking precautions.

In the evening, all the scouts were sent back, and finally found out that Lu Bu divided 100,000 troops and raided Fancheng with a thunderous force, and the defenders of Fancheng were unaware in advance, and when the army besieged Fancheng, he hurriedly dispatched troops, Fancheng City's air defense was weak, how could it withstand the fierce attack of 100,000 enemy troops.

In just three moments, Fancheng was broken by Wei Yue, the general of Lu Bu. After the destruction of Fancheng, the enemy army did not stop for a moment to rectify, leaving only 5,000 defenders to clean up law and order, and the remaining soldiers rushed to Xiangyang.

100,000 Lu Bu army, with Wei Yue and Gongsun Kang each ordering 5,000 wolf riders as the left and right vanguard, the general Xu Huang sat in the headquarters, coming like wind and thunder, traveling a hundred miles a day, and would soon pass under the city of Xiangyang.

Zhou Cang learned of the enemy's situation, heard that Lu Bu sent 100,000 elite soldiers, even more helpless, anxious to run back and forth in the camp tent, seeing that disaster was coming, he only had thousands of defenders, how could he hold the city, I am afraid that before the reinforcements arrived, Xiangyang would be wiped out under the enemy's 100,000 iron cavalry, and panicked: "How is this good, how is it good?" ”

Although Guan Yu was close to Xinye, he was personally restrained by Lu Bu, and it may not be easy to retreat. The crisis in Xiangyang is imminent, and there must not be the slightest hesitation, once Xiangyang is lost, Lu Bu can form a north-south attack on Guan Yu in Xinye, and he can go all the way to Jiangling, Nanjun, and Jingzhou will be difficult to sit back and relax.

Seeing that Zhou Cang had lost his composure for a while, the strategist Chen Zhi admonished: "Since General Xinyeguan is pinned down by Lu Bu and is unable to divide his troops to help, why don't you ask the Lord of Nanjun for help?" The lord defeated Liu Cong in Jiangxia today, the battle situation has been decided, Liu Cong has no power to turn over, if the lord can rush from Jiangling to help, Xinye can be safe for the time being, when our army and Xinye's General Guan north and south to attack Xu Huang's 100,000 army, the battle situation still has room to turn around. ”

Zhou Cang was overjoyed when he heard this, and urgently ordered the fast horse to ask for help from Nanjun, clearly saying that the enemy army was strong, and asked the lord to send a heavy army to come, otherwise Xiangyang would be difficult to protect.

Liu Bei received an urgent report from Xiangyang, and urgently recruited the military division to discuss the matter, saying: "Lu Bu's wolf ambition has broken several of my cities, and now it is surround Xinye, surprise attack Xiangyang, and the battle situation on the northern front is in danger, what are your countermeasures?" ”

After repeated battles, Zhuge Liang, the new military division, has long been admired by Liu Bei's generals, and this time he was able to take Jingzhou and defeat Liu Cong with inferior troops, and even annihilated Cai Mao's main force of 100,000, which can be described as unpredictable. It was because everyone was silent, just waiting for Zhuge Liang to speak.

Although Zhuge Liang is still a young man in his early twenties, he seems to be steady, and he cranked the grass fan and said: "Don't worry, the lord of Xiangyang, the city of Xiangyang is strong, and General Zhou Cang is a loyal and righteous person, he will defend Xiangyang to the death, although Xu Huang has 100,000 troops, but he came from afar, people are sleepy and horses are tired, and most of them are cavalry rushing to come, and it is difficult to break through the city in one day." The lord only needs to send a general to lead 20,000 troops to help, with the defense of Xiangyang City, even if Lu Bu personally attacks the city, it may be difficult to break through the city defense. ”

Liu Bei still said with a worried face: "Yun Chang is still in Xinye, now that Fancheng has been broken, he is already surrounded by Lu Bu's two armies, and he is in danger, can the military division have a good way to crack it?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "General Guan's troops are weak, only 20,000 people against the enemy, known as 300,000 troops, although Lu Bu is exaggerating, the actual strength is only 100,000, but Lu Bu's troops occupy an absolute advantage, Xinye is already a lonely city and it is difficult to survive, or please ask the lord to issue an order, let General Guan withdraw his troops to Jiangxia, you can rush to the aid of Xiangyang, and also avoid the danger of facing the enemy before and after, otherwise Xinye is in danger, and General Guan is in danger." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he looked depressed, he had to go through several hardships and years of planning before he pocketed Jingzhou, and before he could cover the heat, he was robbed of most of it by Lu Bu, and he was really unwilling.

Zhang Fei couldn't bear it for a long time, and finally broke out at this time, shouting: "The military advisor said lightly, Jingzhou is what my brother used to exchange for how much blood, how can I easily give up a city and a place, I am willing to lead 20,000 troops to Xinye to help the second brother, and never let Lu Bu Pifu succeed." ”

Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei to ban his speech, and after several thoughts, he finally made up his mind: "The military advisor is right, those who plan the world, should not be limited to the gains and losses of one city and one place, Xinye is already a lonely city, and there is no need to defend it, the current plan is to protect Xiangyang, otherwise north of the Yangtze River, we will no longer have a foothold." Who among the generals is willing to lead the troops to Xiangyang to help? ”

Zhang Fei was refuted by Liu Bei, and he was a little sullen, and when he heard that there was a war to go, he naturally took it seriously, and asked for his life: "I am willing to go!" ”

There are still a number of Jingzhou generals present, among which the generals Huang Zhong and Wei Yan also attended and asked: "I am willing to go!" ”
