390. Escalation of the war

Liu Bei tun troops in Chaisang City, and Zhou Yu led the crowd to attack. On this day, the large and small ships on the river were like carp crossing the river, Liu Bei stood on the water village and looked at the Dongwu Navy on the river, and he said to Zhuge Liang behind him: "Where is the lonely water army?" ”

Zhuge Liang, as the military advisor of the army, came to Chaisang City with Liu Bei this time. He listened to Liu Bei's question, and then replied: "Lord, I have already been to the letter ten days ago, and the calculation date should be here in one or two days." However, judging by the meaning of Dongwu, they will not be easily let through the Yangtze River, and there must be a battle. ”

"It's okay, Lone has faith in them! Our big ships are thicker than the Soochow ships, and we will never lose in a head-to-head confrontation. Liu Bei said confidently.

"Report!" At this moment, a scout ran up and knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Qiqi, a detachment of men and horses has come from the south, and it is now camped thirty miles outside the city. ”

"Sun Quan Xiao'er wants to give Lone a waterway attack at this time? Hehe, does he want to leave Lone here? Liu Bei sneered after hearing this.

Zhuge Liang turned his head thoughtfully and asked, "Do you know who led the troops?" How many centaurs are there? ”

"Qiyu military division, there is a yellow letter on the handsome flag. It may be the general Huang Zhong! There are no less than 30,000 people! The scout replied.

After listening to this, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "My lord, this Huang Zhong is a fierce general, and he has fought with Cao Cao's general, Xu Chu, a tiger idiot, and thinks that Sun Quan sent him to fight in order to contain the fierce generals under the command of the lord."

Liu Bei frowned when he heard this: "Yun Chang fought against Cao Cao in Yecheng, the third brother followed Zicong to Yizhou, Zilong and Ma Chao were also over there, and there was no general available under his command for a while." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard this: "The lord doesn't have to worry, the guards can fight against that Huang Zhong without falling behind, now we just need to find someone who can lead the army." ”

Liu Bei listened and looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, do you have a candidate?" ”

"General Zhang He, although this person has not made much meritorious service under the command of the lord, but he has guarded Shanyang City all these years, so that Cao Cao can not take a step east, and General Zhang has made great contributions!" Zhuge Liang suggested.

"Hmmm! It's good, but if he is transferred, who will guard Shanyang City? ”

"How does the lord look at that show? This person is the senior brother of General Zhao Yun, although his martial arts are not up to the level of General Zhao Yun, but he is not weak, and he has been under his uncle Zhang Ji before, and it is time for him to lead the troops alone to defend one side. Zhuge Liang suggested.

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "It's okay, by the way, send a letter to Zang Ba and ask him to pay more attention to the news of Shanyang City." Although Cao Cao didn't have time to take care of it at this time, we couldn't take it lightly. ”

"That's what the lord said!"

"Is there anyone else who can be used?"

"There is another person, who has been assigned by the military division to join the army since he surrendered, and it has been two years now. If the lord wants, he can summon him to serve in Chaisang. ”

"Kong Ming, what are you talking about?" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Back to the lord, yes, it's this person."

"Well, Zicong once said to Gu that this Ju Yi is arrogant, and the elders have some skills and are empty-eyed. The military advisor asked him to go to training, and he also had the intention of polishing him, and now that two years have passed, I think that Juyi's temper should be reined in a little. Summoning him too! By the way, let him bring the 3,000 men and horses he trained with him, and I want to see if he has slacked off in the past two years. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded yes, and then went down to arrange for the two to be summoned to serve here. Liu Bei lost interest here, and took everyone down to rest, leaving a group of soldiers to guard here.

The next day, Huang Zhong, the general of Eastern Wu, called for battle under the city, and Liu Bei ordered Dian Wei to fight. Dian Wei and Huang Zhong had a big battle in Chaisang City, but in the end, they were evenly matched. Huang Zhong had long heard that Liu Bei, the king of Qi, had five tiger generals under him, but he didn't expect that one of the tigers would be comparable to him. If the five tigers gather, who in the world can stop their edge!

After a big battle between the two, Huang Zhong put out the thoughts of fighting generals, and he began to concentrate on preparing for the siege. On the other side, Zhou Yu ordered the navy to block Ding Feng and his party on the Yangtze River, and Ding Feng tore Zhou Yu's ship formation with a single charge with the ship's strong guns. At the critical moment, Zhou Yu ordered to set fire to his own boat. The fire was accompanied by Zhou Yu sending dead soldiers to drive ships to besiege Liu Beijun's big ship. Ding Feng found out, and when he found out that it was not good, three large ships had already been ignited.

Ding Feng immediately made a decision, immediately ordered the boat behind him to stop advancing, and then sent a small boat to the rescue. However, the three large ships were all poured with fire oil by the dead soldiers of Soochow, and the fire was difficult to extinguish. The ship's generals didn't see it well, so they had to give the order to abandon the ship. Before Liu Bei's navy arrived at Chaisang City, it lost three large ships.

After Ding Feng was annoyed, he began to reflect. Your own fleet should still have more small boats to escort you, otherwise the next time Dongwu uses this method, it will be difficult for you to dodge. So he decided that when he returned to Chaisang Water Village, he must practice more cooperation between big ships and small boats, and he couldn't let the Soochow Navy take advantage of the loopholes.

On the other hand, although Zhou Yu successfully killed the three big ships of Liu Bei's army, the losses on his own side were not small. This is obviously a lose-lose style of play, Zhou Yu hesitated whether to use it again?

Cao Cao's side was never able to open the situation, so he transferred Xu Huang back from Jingzhou. Now that he had signed an alliance with Soochow, Cao Cao reactivated Cai Mao. Not long after he dismissed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, he already knew that he was in the middle of the scheme, but what kind of person was he Cao Cao, that was King Wei! How could he admit that he had made a mistake, so he knew that he had reinstated Cai Maoguan at this time, but Zhang Yun ignored it. He believed that Cai Mao would handle it himself.

With Xu Huang's arrival, the situation in Yecheng became tense again. But Guan Yu is not afraid, he is confident, there is no one in the world except Lu Bu who can compare with him. Even his third brother Zhang Fei can't do it, let alone Cao Jun's generals.

At this time, Sima Yi offered a plan again, wanting to use Guan Yu's arrogance to kill him. Cao Cao had already been annoyed by Guan Yu's beating, and although he felt pity for his talent, he still agreed to Sima Yi's plan and asked him to arrange to get rid of Guan Yu.

After three days of preparation, Xu Huang, the general of the Cao army, called Guan Yu in front of the battle. As soon as Guan Yu heard this, he immediately ordered the men and horses to leave the camp, and the general Pang De in front of the battle said: "Second general, there is a way to kill chickens with a knife, why don't you hand it over to me." ”

Guan Yu shook his head and said: "This is Xu Huang, since he named me, then I will go to meet him for a while, and you can press me down." Pang De wanted to say more, but Guan Yu rushed out with a dozen horses early.
