"General Huang, why did you suddenly call me just now?"

Although he lost a game, Zhou Yu was also unhappy for a while, but he quickly calmed down his mood.

He knows that he has fought against people like Zhuge Liang, and the more angry he is, the easier it is to be caught by the other party.

In addition to the reason why he was scheming this time, in addition to underestimating Zhuge Liang, he was also unwilling.

If he felt that his 20,000 horses were frightened by Zhuge Liang's hundreds of people, what kind of face would he have.

So this is one of the reasons.

"Back to the Grand Duke, the reason why the last general called you just now is because he heard the screams of soldiers, but now there are none."

Huang Gai immediately replied when he saw Zhou Yu's inquiry.

Zhou Yu glanced around, of course he knew what the sound was, the two thousand people before were not suddenly silent.

Instead, they all fell into this swamp, and since they stepped into this line of heaven, they have already entered Zhuge Liang's great array.

So even if the two thousand people made any movement, they would not be able to hear it.

As for why Huang Gai suddenly heard it, it was probably because there were more than 2,000 people, and it had an impact on the formation.

Speaking of which, I would like to thank them.

"The army has passed through the swamp, and then rested and set out."

Zhou Yu glanced at the generals and then opened his mouth and ordered.

Now that he is completely behind Zhuge Liang, they have been for nearly a day.

People are sleepy, and it is not suitable for pursuit at all now, so they can only rest and recuperate first, and then they can directly attack Jiaozhou.

Since he has lost the opportunity, then he can only compete again, and he can do his best to fight just now.

……

In the direction of Jingzhou, since Sima Yi led the men and horses back, he went straight to Changsha County, but although the speed of the tiger and leopard riding was fast, the Han army had already retreated in advance.

"It seems that this Han army is deliberately attracting us back, and has no intention of capturing Changsha." Cao Chun saw that he had come back day and night, and he pounced.

At this point, Cao Chun was more or less uncomfortable.

"It's not that they don't want Changsha County, but because we've come back." Sima Yi snorted coldly and said.

This feeling of being calculated and exhausted in turn made him very uncomfortable.

"The army will enter the city first to rest, since the Han army in Changsha County has retreated, then Fancheng's is almost the same."

Sima Yi looked at the city of Changsha County, and then took the lead to go inside.

"Zhongda, I am a little puzzled by what you said, you didn't say that because we came back, the Han army retreated."

"But now that Changsha County is still a few days away from Fancheng, will the Han army retreat so easily?"

Cao Chun watched Sima Yi explain his incomprehension, you must know that the journey of a few days, if you plan it properly, it is completely possible to capture Fancheng.

Sima Yi smiled after listening to Cao Chun's words, of course he knew what Cao Chun meant.

And he can also understand that Cao Chun's consideration is not unreasonable.

However, Cao Chun ignored the strength of Yang Xiu in Fancheng, and just said that he came back, referring to the fact that the army had retreated.

In this way, Jingzhou's troops will not be transferred.

originally wanted to use the emptiness of troops to attract them, but Zhuge Liang broke the strategy, and instead returned to the original point.

Cao Chun quickly understood after listening to Sima Yi's explanation, "It seems that Cao still has to learn from Zhong Daduo." ”

"Then I don't know what Zhongda plans to do later?"

Cao Chun looked at Sima Yi and asked, he didn't believe that Sima Yi would continue to maintain his current state.

If the current state is maintained, then the people who will eventually benefit will not have their share.

"Capture Xiangyang." Sima Yi said solemnly.

This time, no matter what, we must try our best to take Xiangyang County, so that we can completely drive out the Han army once and for all.

Moreover, since the Han army sent troops in two directions, it must be covering up something, after all, they must have sent people to Jiaozhou.

If you don't guess wrong, then this person will definitely be Zhuge Liang.

Now that Liu Wei has returned to Jinyang, Zhuge Liang has left Xiangyang again, which is also their best chance to capture Xiangyang.

Early the next morning, early in the morning, Sima Yi led the men and horses towards Fancheng.

If you want to attack Xiangyang, then you must attack from Fancheng and unite the forces of Fancheng, so that even if you fight hard, you will have the confidence.

Sima Yi led the men and horses on a two-day journey, and before he arrived in Fancheng, he had already encountered the soldiers who delivered the letter in Fancheng.

Sima Yi glanced at it and handed the letter to Cao Chun.

Cao Chun also sighed after reading it, no wonder Sima Yi watched it casually, because the result was the same as Sima Yi expected before.

The Han army retreated, and it was estimated that it would be at least two or three days according to the time of the delivery of the letter?

In other words, when they arrived in Changsha County, or even when they were about to arrive, the Han army had already come and prepared for retreat.

"Sure enough, everything is as Zhong Da expected, so shouldn't we speed up our way to Fancheng?" Cao Chun looked at Sima Yi and said.

This Sima Yi is so powerful at a young age, so it's no wonder that Cao Gong is wary of him.

Sima Yi nodded, "The whole army is moving forward at a faster pace. ”

Two days later, Sima Yi's army reached Fancheng.

And at this time, Zhuge Liang finally came to Jiaozhi, where Shixie was named Taishou.

So in order to be justified, Shixie has always set this place as the seat of Jiaozhou, in other words, the provincial capital is almost the same.

Although it is said that now Liu Wei has made Shixie rightfully become the history of Jiaozhou's assassination.

But it's been a long time since I've been used to Jiaozhi, and the forces here are already the forces of other Shixie.

In addition, Jiaozhi has his younger brother guarding Hepu, Jiuzhen, and the South China Sea, which can almost be said to have formed a protection for Jiaozhi.

So Shi Xie will definitely not choose to leave casually.

"Stop, who are you?"

Before entering the city, Zhuge Liang and his party were stopped by the soldiers, after all, these hundred or so people were all carrying weapons.

If this doesn't stop you, who else can you stop?

"I am a messenger sent by His Majesty, and I have come to ask to see you Taishou, to be precise, it should be the assassin now."

Zhuge Liang looked at the soldier guarding the city gate and said.

"But didn't your Majesty's envoy leave some time ago?" The general guarding the city gate looked at Zhuge Liang and his party and asked with some vigilance.

"Please go and report it, and then you will know the truth and falsehood." Zhuge Liang looked at the man and said.

"Okay." The general thought for a moment and spoke.

Now that Shi Xie has just been named the assassin not long ago, he naturally needs to give face to the Han court, and if he delays himself, it will be troublesome to blame him.

"Take them to the post house to guard them, and then the lord's order will come down."

The general looked at the people around him and spoke.

Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, and the group quickly followed to the post house.

As a general guarding the city gate, it is naturally not a simple matter to want to meet Shixie, and it is not something you can see if you want to.

So naturally, you also need to report, and then you can see people with approval.

Shi Xie has a generous personality, and he has just been appointed by Liu Wei, and when he heard that it was the envoy of the Han Dynasty, he naturally immediately sent someone to invite someone over.

"Lord, if it's not too early today, let's see you tomorrow, so it can also reflect the lord's respect for the Han Emperor."

At this time, a man dressed as a literati on the side looked at Shi Xie and said.

"What you said is also reasonable, so it's okay, then send an order to go down tomorrow to see the Han envoy, the officials of the post house, don't slack off, and entertain yourself." Shi Xie raised his hand and commanded.

Immediately someone next to him answered, and then went down.

The crowd didn't stay long before leaving the main hall of Shixie.

"Why didn't Lord Cheng let the eldest brother meet the Han envoy immediately, why do I think Lord Cheng seems to have other intentions." After leaving the main hall, one person asked the man just now.

"Isn't it strange that this envoy has just left, and now that he is here again? Besides, the lord is becoming more and more valued by the Han Emperor. ”

"At that time, I'm afraid that this Jiaozhou will be surnamed Liu again." The literati squinted his eyes and said.
