Chapter 479: It's Still Too Late

How is this possible! Zhang Jie was still in Xinye yesterday! We saw it with our own eyes! Lu Su said!

Zhuge Liang said: Zhang Jie must have concealed our meticulous work a few days ago, and sent a detachment from Nanyang to Jiangxia. They first went to Yiyang, Suixian, and then Jiangxia. This road, after Yiyang, there is almost no road. Along the way, you have to turn over the remaining veins of Dabie Mountain. It's thousands of miles away.

Ay! There is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road! As long as you are willing to endure hardships, how can there be a mountain that cannot be climbed?

Zhang Shimin is so bold and risky to use soldiers, he can't shine!

Huang Gai was anxious and said: What should we do now! If Jiangxia is gone, it will be equivalent to blocking our retreat.

Liu Qi said: Mr. Kong Ming, no one came to report the loss of Jiangxia, how did you think of the loss of Jiangxia? Could it be a mistake?

Kong Mingdao: Liang was calculated from the time when Zhang Mingbing's soldiers went south, and he can't be wrong.

If Jiangxia hadn't lost, Zhang Jie would never have taken a detour south.

Jiang Xia is gone, and we will be defeated, Cai Mao is even hesitant at this time. Now I will make up my mind.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to think about how to keep our army!

Liu Qi was also a little anxious when he heard Zhuge Liang say so surely. Dao: Why don't we withdraw and save Xiangyang!

Zhuge Liang said: Zhang Jie is all cavalry, and he threw all the infantry here in order to hurry up and prevent us from catching up. Here to Xiangyang, there are two hundred miles, how can we catch up!

So what to do! The family of the lonely king is all in Xiangyang! Liu Qi is about to cry!

Suddenly, Zhuge Liang stood up, came to the same spirit, and said: There is still salvation, it is still too late!

Kong Ming said quickly, how to save!

Zhuge Liang said: Zhang Jie must not know that we already know that Jiangxia has lost. We have to be in a hurry. King Chu, it's all up to you now.

Liu Qi said: Please say, what did the lonely king do?

Zhuge Liang said: Please ask the King of Chu to gather all our cavalry, go to Fancheng immediately, and control the soldiers and horses of Fancheng. Control all the warships in the Han River, how much can be controlled, now the key is the boat.

Let's give up Xiangyang and go directly to Jiangxia. For example, the Han River has a wire across the river. Let's go ashore and go straight to Xiakou.

The people sent by Zhang Jie to Jiangxia are only partial divisions, and the number of people will not be too much, at most not more than 30,000. He occupies Jiangxia and will only occupy Jiangxia County and govern Xiling City. As for Xiakou, they will not occupy it without warships. As long as we get to Xiakou, we will be safe.

If he stays here, after Zhang Jie occupies Xiangyang, he will definitely destroy the warship and occupy Xiakou, Jiangling and other places, and then it will be really over.

Liu Qi said: But in this way, isn't it equivalent to giving up Xiangyang and the entire Jingbei?

Ay! This is also a helpless move! The most dangerous thing now is to climb the city, if Fancheng also surrenders, then we will have no way to retreat.

Liu Qi said: The guard general of Fancheng is my brother Liu Ba. He will not surrender to Zhang Jie.

That's good, that's good! King, Zhang Jie will not embarrass your family if Xiangyang is lost, don't worry!

Hurry up! It's too late!

Good!

Wenpin, gather all the cavalry! Let's go! Governor, you will also go with me, let's control the ships in the Han River first!"

Good!

Liu Qi led the cavalry to go first, and Zhuge Liang then ordered all the troops to march. Rushed to Fancheng overnight.

I have to admire Zhuge Liang's quick response! This also shattered Zhang Jie's strategy to catch them all!

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Jie arrived at a river crossing site thirty miles west of Fancheng.

Pang Shiyuan, Cai Mao has been waiting here for a long time. In the middle of the river, a pontoon bridge composed of hundreds of boats side by side had already been built, and the boats were covered with wooden planks.

Zhang Jie gave an order to cross the river!

Lead the horse. Beware of slipping!

Zhang Jie crossed the Han River, and Cai Mao met Zhang Jie on the bank of the river!

Meet the King of Wei! Cai Mao said.

Ha ha! Don't come to harm's way, you and I haven't seen each other for more than a year, and we're a little old! The recovery of Jingzhou Deqi is the first achievement! The Lone King remembered it in his heart.

King Wei is polite, this should be! Cai Mao said.

Zhang Jie said: If this army wants to cross the Han River, I'm afraid it will take more than a day!

Dejue, how much can you control the Jingzhou naval warship now?

Cai Mao said: Half of it!

Good, Deju, you let the brothers sail all the warships to the south bank of the Han River! No one is allowed to sail to the north shore without your orders! Including Liu Qi himself!

Let's let Zhou Yu and them have no ships to escape if they want to!

All! I'll arrange it right away! Cai Mao said.

Deju, who is this Xiangyang guard? How many defenders are there in the city? Can you get him to open the gates and surrender to us?

Cai Mao said: It's Lu Jie, who is very upright, and Mao has a general relationship with him, I don't know if he can surrender. But it doesn't matter, if he doesn't surrender, Kuailiang's son can surrender!

Oh! What do you mean? Zhang Jie said!

Kuai Liang's eldest son, Kuai Jun, is the captain of the city gate, and there are still many clansmen in the defenders of his Kuai family. If he wants to open the city and surrender, no one can stop him.

Zhang Jie smiled: Is there any agreement between your Cai family and the Kuai family? Do you catch the water army, and the Kuai family catches the defenders in the city?

Cai Mao said: That's not it, it's just that everyone has been in Xiangyang for many years, and there are some clansmen in the army. However, if the Kuai family does not interfere in the affairs of the navy, I will not interfere with the affairs of his city. Everyone understands it!

Well, can you persuade Lu Jie to surrender Kaicheng? This saves a lot of work! Zhang Jie said:

I'll try my best! I'm not sure, though. Cai Mao said.

Zhang Jie waited for two hours, it was dark, and there were only more than 30,000 people here.

Wenhe, you wait here, I will take Xu Huang and them to Xiangyang City first, if the defenders can surrender, we will control Xiangyang tonight. If you refuse to surrender, you will have to wait for tomorrow!

Good, lord, then go first! Jia Xu said.

Zhang Jie took Xu Huang and Zhang Liao's army of nearly 30,000 people who had crossed the river and went straight to Xiangyang, and at this time the defenders of Xiangyang had closed the city gate.

Zhang Jie and the others can only dismount and rest under the city!

Looking at the tall Xiangyang city wall, Zhang Jie shook his head and said: A wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake. Lao Tzu forgot to send a letter to the Kuai brothers for a while, I don't know if the Kuai Liang brothers will open the city gate!

Kuailiang! Don't let Jay down! If you dare to go back on your word, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless!

On the city wall, Lu Jie was also anxious. Why did this Zhang Jie suddenly kill Xiangyang! Isn't it still in Shinno?

And the backyard of the Chu Palace, Miss, the people of the world have arrived at the city of Xiangyang, but the gate of the city is closed, and the people of the world can't enter, what should they do?

Cai Shidao: You asked Yuanfu and a few people to come in.

Promise!

Yuanfu, you will take someone to hide in the back of the hall in a while. Later, I will call Lu Jie, the guard general of Xiangyang, come in, you follow my orders, and if Lu Jie refuses to surrender, we will get rid of him.

Promise!!

Xiaoya, you go to the city and invite the two brothers Lu Jie and Kuai Liang to the house. Just say I'm talking to him!

Promise!
