Let's not talk about Lu Xun's clever plan, but also say that since Zhuge Song left, although Guan Yu was angry, his heart was also a little uneasy, and the attack on Fancheng was a little tighter than before. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Helplessly, because of Pound in the periphery, the advantage of the besieging forces over the city is not very large, and it is difficult to break the city for a while.

A few days later, the horse was returned, Jiangling and the public security had been obtained by Lu Meng, Guan Yu was finally shocked, thinking back to what Zhuge Song said, what is the use of regret. At this time, it was futile to attack Fan again, and when he heard that Lü Meng's sneak attack on Jiangling was only 30,000 soldiers, Guan Yu intended to collect the army back to Xiangyang first, and then try to recover Jiangling.

Fortunately, Zhuge Song's previous words made Guan Yu learn before Cao Cao that the Eastern Wu had succeeded in the sneak attack on Jiangling, and Guan Yu ordered someone to give Guan Ping a secret order, ordering him to slowly withdraw from Tuanshan Town to join him.

Regarding Guan Ping's sudden withdrawal, although Pang De didn't know why, he also tried to pursue, but was stopped by Wen Ping, so he could only send rangers to follow and check. After a few days, Pang De, who had joined forces with Cao Ren, got the news that Eastern Wu had successfully attacked Jiangling, and he couldn't help but complain about Wen Ping, blaming him for hindering his meritorious service, Wen Ping would not worry about Pang De, recalling Cao Cao's entrustment before leaving, he only thought about finally unloading his heavy responsibilities and helping Cao Ren to defend Fancheng was considered a success, and still persuaded Pang De not to cross the river to pursue Guan Yu.

Pound did not listen, and led 3,000 men to chase across the river. Wen Ping was afraid that Pang De would lose, so he urgently repaired the book and newspaper and Cao Cao, and at the same time took the rest of the men and horses to guard Jiangbei and prepare to receive the defeated army.

When Pang De chased to the city of Xiangyang, Guan Yu was no longer in Fancheng at this time, leaving only Ma Liang to lead 3,000 people to guard Xiangyang, and the army had actually marched to Jiangling, trying to recapture Nanjun.

Pang De only had 3,000 men and horses, and the siege was not enough at all, so he had to lead the army to camp in the north of Xiangyang on the one hand, and on the other hand, he ordered people to report to Cao Cao, asking for more men and horses to come in order to capture Xiangyang.

It turned out that before Lu Xun went to attack Yidu, he suggested that Lü Meng publicize in the city that he wanted to negotiate with Guan Yu, and on the other hand, collect letters from the generals and soldiers of Guan Yu's army in the city, and send messengers to Xiangyang together with the letters from Guan Yu's family.

As soon as Guan Yu withdrew his troops to Xiangyang, he met the envoy sent by Lü Meng, who presented a letter written by Lü Meng to Guan Yu, which probably meant that because Liu Bei had borrowed Jingzhou for a long time and did not pay it back, he could only take it by himself, and also pointed out that Guan Yu was now in a predicament, and asked Guan Yu to withdraw from Xiangyang to Shu through Shangyong, so as not to hurt the harmony of the two families.

Because Guan Yu's family had fallen into the hands of Lü Meng, he didn't dare to kill the envoy even if he was angry, so he could only write a letter to Lü Meng accusing him of betraying the alliance, asking him to withdraw his troops from Jiangling as soon as possible, otherwise he would have to fight to the death.

After the envoy returned to the post house, he did not return to Jiangling immediately, but did not refuse to receive the generals of Guan Yu's army who came to inquire about the news, distributed the letters received in Jiangling City, and began to spread the news that Guan Yu was going to take everyone to retreat to Shu through Shangyong.

Guan Yu's subordinates are all Jingzhou Army, and the main generals under him are okay to say, when others hear this rumor, they think of the current situation, and when they hear the news, they will spread ten, ten or hundred, and the army's spirit is very unstable.

In this way, in order to calm the evil consequences caused by the fluctuation of people's hearts, the angry Guan Yu had to gather the soldiers to make an oath to recover Jiangling, and soon left only 3,000 people and Ma Liang to guard Xiangyang.

So the morale rose again, Guan Yu had just won a big victory over the forbidden time, and many soldiers believed that Lu Meng was by no means Guan Yu's opponent, and the soldiers' desire to recover Jiangling finally made Guan Yu have some confidence in recovering Jiangling.

However, after arriving at the city of Jiangling, Lü Meng closed the city. No matter how Guan Yu was insulted, Lu Meng only kept his door closed. Although this seemingly weak behavior made Guan Yujun's morale rise again, when more than ten days passed, Guan Yu was still at a loss in Jiangling City.

In the past, the city was fortified and thick-walled, but now it has become an important defense of the Wu army, Guan Yu was able to surround Fancheng with superior forces and it was difficult to break the city in a short time, not to mention that Jiangling City was much taller and stronger than Fancheng. After several failed sieges, Tan Ma came to report that Cao Cao had commanded an army of 100,000 out of Xuchang, and the vanguard Xu Huang led 20,000 horses to Xiangyang City and surrounded Xiangyang with Pang De's troops, and the military spirit in Guan Yu's camp began to fluctuate violently.

Because Guan Yu's troops were not enough to completely blockade Jiangling, Lü Meng in the city soon received the news that Cao Cao's troops were besieging Xiangyang. Although Lü Meng also wanted to take Xiangyang as a stronghold to resist Cao Cao in the north, but the situation at this time still had to give priority to the total destruction of Guan Yu's Jingzhou army, although Cao Cao was defeated in Hanzhong, but in terms of military strength, at this time undoubtedly still had a great advantage in the Jingzhou region, so Lü Meng still continued his strategy of holding out after getting the news of Cao Cao's troops. Lü Meng knew that in order to capture Jiangling, Guan Yu would definitely not have many troops left in Xiangyang, and once Xiangyang City was broken, Guan Yu's Jingzhou army would definitely be disheartened, and then there would be only one option to flee west.

Thinking of fleeing west, Lu Meng couldn't help but think of Lu Xun, who had been ordered to seize the Yiling region not long ago.

Before Lu Xun left, he predicted that although the Yiling area was strategically located, it would not be taken too seriously because Liu Bei had a relationship with Nanjun. The 5,000 men and horses led by Lu Xun were all elite Wu troops with strong bodies and well-armed weapons, and he didn't even bring the large equipment needed for the siege in order to be fast.

Lu Xun said to Lu Meng before leaving: "Nanjun was obtained by our army, Liu Bei's army is in Hanzhong, although Yidu has a county, but the soldiers are small and the city is small, the guards will see that our army is in a hurry, they will be at a loss, and flee into Shuzhong, when Xun holds Chuankou with 5,000 people, it is difficult to shake the soldiers who are not ten times in a short period of time. When Liu Bei gathers all the men and horses, the Yu army breaks early, and the general adds troops to help, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to go out of Sichuan again in his life! ”

Lu Meng heard Lu Xun's words at that time and deeply agreed, so he agreed to Lu Xun to send troops lightly. But it's been half a month, and there is still no messenger who has come back to report the victory, Lu Meng watched Lu Xun's words, combined with his previous exploits in the mountains to suppress bandits, it is really hard to believe that Lu Xun has not captured a small city in Yidu for so long. Besides, there is no big city of Liu Bei near Yidu at all, and the nearest White Emperor City is hundreds of miles away from Yidu, and there are no heavy troops, but to say that Lu Xun failed, after so long, not a single defeated soldier came back to report the news.

At this time, since he already knew that Cao Jun was besieging Xiangyang with troops, under the premise that Guan Yu might retreat west into Shu at any time, Lü Meng was really unwilling to let Guan Yu retreat like this. After all, Guan Yu suffered a big loss this time, and when he saw Liu Bei, he would definitely advocate revenge, if he let these 30,000 Jingzhou troops enter Sichuan, he would probably be a revenge vanguard army with the highest morale in the future. And the plan that Lü Meng and Lu Xun had been discussing before was to let Guan Yu's army be wiped out in Jingzhou, so that even if Liu Bei tried to retaliate in the future, under the premise that Hanzhong had to leave troops to defend against Cao, the army that came out of Sichuan to attack would definitely become limited.

So when Lu Meng thought of this, he immediately took up the pen and wrote a letter, ordering people to quickly go from the west gate to meet Lu Xun when Guan Yu did not attack the city, for Lu Meng, he really hoped that Lu Xun could seal the Sichuan Pass as soon as he said, so that the betrayal of the alliance in Eastern Wu could completely obtain everything he wanted before.
