Chapter 624: Guan Yu Fights Back

『Chapter error, click here to report』

After seeing Guan Yu abandon Shouchun, the rest of the counties also gave up resistance. The apex update was the fastest to open the city and accept the arrival of Yangzhou soldiers and horses. Jia Xu was right. Now that Jiujiang County is owned by Yangzhou, there is a dispute in Yangzhou over whether to continue to attack Liu Beijun.

Some people insist on fighting, and some people want to accept it when they see it, so stop here, and don't anger Liu Bei too much. Not only the front, but also the rear was divided into two groups.

The generals led by Sun Ce insisted on fighting, and now Liu Bei was held back in Yanzhou, so they hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to help Xiahou Yuan capture Pengcheng, and then capture Xuzhou, at least the southern counties of Xuzhou.

The ministers, led by Zhang, hoped to stop the army. In their opinion, the goal of containing Liu Bei for Cao Cao has been achieved, and Jiujiang County has also been recovered. Even if Cao Cao came in person, he had nothing to say. Now Liu Bei's eyes are all on Yanzhou, if he launches an offensive on his side and makes Liu Bei divert his attention, he will increase his troops in Xuzhou, and then affect Yangzhou. This must not be done. The best state should be to take the opportunity to appease Jiujiang and refine internal affairs. Strengthen yourself. As for Cao Cao, he himself was rushing to Yizhou, and then wanted Yangzhou to help him share the military pressure from Liu Bei? Zhang and others have not forgotten that it was Cao Cao who came to fight Yangzhou for Jingzhou, and now he has invaded Yizhou, which has completely shattered the dream of dividing the world proposed by Yangzhou.

In this era, there is no shortage of smart people. In history, when Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, he proposed Longzhong, and Zhou Yu also put forward the idea of annexing Bashu and dividing the river to rule; His successor, Lu Su, after Zhou Yu's illness and death, because Liu Bei had already occupied Yizhou, and because his background in the army was not as good as Zhou Yu, he had to change his strategy and proposed a strategy of uniting Liu to resist Cao, seeking survival and winning, and finally dividing the world.

When Sun Jian took the first step towards his dream blueprint, Cao Cao came to sabotage it. As a result, Cao Cao obtained the three counties of Jingbei, which were the fattest and most geographically dangerous in Jingzhou. And Yangzhou only obtained the four counties of Jingnan, and could only watch Cao Cao wave his army into Shu. Yangzhou is sensible again, and then knows the importance of Lian Cao's resistance to Liu. I'm afraid that most of them are uncomfortable in my heart.

Now Cao Cao was hurt by Liu Bei and offered to form an alliance. Yangzhou also agreed. This is the trend of the times, and it is inevitable. However, Yangzhou has already sent troops, horses, money and food, repelled Guan Yu, snatched Jiujiang, and the troops pointed directly at Xuzhou. What about Yangzhou? Things can't just be done unilaterally by Yangzhou, otherwise, the next time Liu Bei's army comes over, it will be Yangzhou.

The anti-war voices in the rear are wave after wave, and in the front, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also have strategic differences. Sun Ce's meaning was to take advantage of the siege of Pengcheng to simply lead a large army into Xuzhou, all the way to help Xiahou Yuan attack Pengcheng, and all the way to plunder other counties in Xuzhou.

Zhou Yu objected. He felt it was too dangerous. Pengcheng is an important place, and the city is strong, even if Guan Yu does not save Pengcheng, it is very difficult to capture Pengcheng in a short period of time. What's more, Guan Yu is here, how could he sit back and watch the Yangzhou army attack Pengcheng? Moreover, Xuzhou not only has Chen Deng's soldiers and horses, but also is close to Qingzhou, and Liu Bei will give an order, and there will be a steady stream of reinforcements going south. When the time comes, the army will enter Xuzhou, and it may be a dilemma.

He didn't recommend getting too deep in Xuzhou, and of course, he didn't want to stop there. He put forward a suggestion, that is, Chen Bing was on the border of Xuzhou to maintain military pressure on Xuzhou and contain Xuzhou's troops, so as to support Xiahou Yuan to the greatest extent. Only when Xiahou Yuan attacked Pengcheng could Yangzhou enter Xuzhou. If Peng Cheng can't get down for a long time, then Yangzhou should not annoy Liu Bei.

Of course, Sun Ce could do things on his own, but he was not a reckless man with all his courage, and when Zhou Yu, whom he trusted, disagreed with him, he wrote a letter to ask Sun Jian. Sun Jian was also very hesitant in his heart, on the one hand, he wanted to ally with Cao Cao to deal with the powerful Liu Bei; On the one hand, he didn't want to see the powerful Cao Cao. The two forces are equal, this is called an ally, if the power is unbalanced, then it is unequal. After weighing and considering, it didn't take long for Sun Jian to make up his mind and let Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Chen soldiers on the border of Xuzhou. Wait for news from the north. Peng Cheng broke and grabbed Xuzhou with Yuzhou. At the very least, South Xuzhou should no longer be owned by Liu Bei. Pengcheng can't be captured, so needless to say, let's keep the status quo.

Sun Jian's letter pointed out the direction for Sun Ce. So Sun Ce returned to Shouchun and prepared to direct the reconstruction work, and made Zhou Yu soldiers on the border of Jiujiang and Xiapi. Continue to maintain military pressure on Xuzhou.

Sun Jian did this, and made Xiahou Yuan suffer. It was calculated well before, saying that it was to encircle Shouchun, mobilize Wenping to aid Jiujiang, and then send troops to attack Pengcheng by himself. As a result, Wen Ping did not move in Pengcheng. Now in order to capture Jiujiang, Sun Jian let himself attack Pengcheng again, forcing Guan Yu to abandon Shouchun and come to the aid of Pengcheng. Okay, Sun Jian got the cheap, he didn't even save Yanzhou, he ran to Pengcheng to bleed and sweat, and there was no benefit?

When Yanzhou was in danger, Xiahou Yuan wanted to go north to rescue Yanzhou as soon as possible. It's just that Xiahou has a letter from him, saying that he should stay in Yuzhou for the time being, and don't let Guan Yu in Xuzhou take advantage of it. Yuzhou is the rear of Yanzhou, if at this critical moment, Yuzhou also has an accident, then Yanzhou has no need to defend it anymore. Xiahou Yuan heard the same, so he was relieved to guard in Yuzhou. As a result, Meng De said that he formed an alliance with the Sun family, and the two families attacked Xuzhou together. Let yourself be at the mercy of Sun's arrangement for the time being. At the beginning, Sun's proposal to fight Pengcheng also made him very excited. As a result, until now, the Yangzhou army forced Guan Yu away and captured Jiujiang County, but the troops stopped at the border and were unwilling to take a step forward. It's really bitter, if the Yangzhou soldiers don't come, how can they beat Pengcheng? What's more, there is also a Guan Yu who did not know where to go after the soldiers retreated to Jiujiang.

Knowing that after Guan Yu led the army to abandon Shouchun, Xiahou Yuan was always suspicious, for fear that Guan Yu would suddenly appear behind him or on his flanks. There has been no reliable news from the scouts. Under the worry, how could Xiahou Yuan do his best to attack Pengcheng. This created a stalemate in Pengcheng. Xiahou Yuan is not advancing, nor is he retreating. It's hard to be a good student.

At this time, Guan Yu had already met the king of the East China Sea, and the soldiers were about to enter the territory of Lu State. This way was because it was marching in Xuzhou, and Guan Yu deliberately hid the whereabouts of the army, so Yuzhou did not know the slightest rumor. Why did Guan Yu fight Lu Guo?

That's because the geographical location of Lu is also very important, and it can be said that it is the key place of Yu and Yan. After conquering the Lu State, you can attack Taishan County upwards to support Tai Shici, and to the west, you can attack Dongping Kingdom and Rencheng Kingdom; You can attack Peiguo downward, after hitting Xiahou Yuan. This is Guan Yu's means of fighting back.
