When Mrs. Cai left, she told Cai Mao to keep an eye on Liu Bei.

Cai Mao naturally obeyed his words, and because Cai Mao was the governor of the navy, he forcibly recalled the navy army that supported Liu Bei in the battle on the grounds that Xiangyang was in danger.

Zhang Yun was originally born in Xiangyang, and he didn't want to go to Lujiang this time, but Liu Bei was transferred to Liu Biao under a military order, and this time he got Cai Mao's military order, and if he got the treasure, he would withdraw the army that night.

Without the support of the navy, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses would not be able to cross the river and could not return to Xiangyang.

In the face of the crisis, Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry, and only sent a small number of clever soldiers to cross the river in a small boat and return to Xiangyang.

A few days later, news came out from Xiangyang that Zhang Yun's sudden return to Xiangyang was a dispatch made by Liu Biao in order to contain Cai Mao.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun didn't get along very well, and the order to recall Zhang Yun was just to deal with Liu Bei, but I didn't expect Zhang Yun's problem, Cai Mao was considering that Zhang Yun was from Jingzhou anyway, and Liu Bei was an outsider.

As soon as the rumors came out, Cai Mao thought of this, even if Zhang Yun was a colleague in Jingzhou, it was impossible for him to support Cai Mao so actively, he must have heard that Cai Mao was in charge of Xiangyang's military and political affairs, and he was worried about his own interests so he was in a hurry to come back.

Under Zhuge Liang's operation, there was even a secret letter from Zhang Yun expressing his support to Jiang Sheng.

In this way, Cai Mao was nervous, no matter how Liu Bei tossed, Cai Mao was confident to control the situation, but if Jiang Sheng intervened, it was difficult to say whether this Xiangyang could be saved.

On the way to withdraw the army, Zhang Yun received a military order from Cai Mao, who ordered Zhang Yun not to withdraw for the time being, and to withdraw after Liu Bei won.

This time Zhang Yun is gone, you Cai Mao is funny? The news from Zhang Yun's family made Zhang Yun even more angry, Cai Mao did it because he listened to rumors, but he was the governor, and his arms couldn't twist his thighs.

Liu Qi, who stayed in Jiangxia, was also anxious, Liu Cong followed Liu Biao to Jiangling, near the water, Liu Qi didn't care about the war on the Lujiang River, and left Zhuge Liang behind him to let him sit in Jiangxia, and went straight to Jiangling in the name of visiting his father.

Zhuge Liang was shocked when he learned the news, Liu Qi was finished!

Without Liu Qi, Jiang Xia would not put Liu Bei at all, Zhang Yun would not move, and Jiang Xia would no longer support Liu Bei, then Liu Bei would soon be defeated by Cao Cao.

Zhuge Liang couldn't see that Liu Bei was finished, so he personally sent an envoy to Jiangdong, intending to unite with Sun Quan to fight Cao Cao.

Zhou Yu felt that there was no benefit, so he persuaded Sun Quan not to agree, but Sun Quan had Sun Quan's idea and agreed to Zhuge Liang's proposal.

Han Dang and Lu Xun crossed the river to attack Jiujiang County on the order of Sun Quan, which was regarded as a stab in the waist of Cao Cao.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's attacks became more and more violent, and Cao Cao's armies failed one after another, and the original advantage no longer existed.

Jiang Sheng saw that Cao Cao's situation was not good, so he sent people to persuade him to surrender.

Cao Cao had great ambitions, did not accept persuasion, and wanted to hold on.

The dilapidated house was raining heavily, and Xiahoudun was captured by Lu Xun's design, Cao Cao really couldn't hold on, so he sent a messenger to see Lu Xun and asked for Xiahoudun to be released.

Lu Xun can't just forget it, put forward the territory demand, Cao Cao promised Sun Quan just such a little place, as long as Lu Xun withdrew his troops and released Xiahoudun, Cao Cao would give Lujiang County to Sun Quan.

Liu Bei has now taken Sancheng of Lujiang, and if Sun Quan sends troops to Lujiang at this time, there is still a lot to do.

Zhou Yu was noncommittal about Cao Cao's proposal, because Sun Quan sent troops to fight Cao Cao and didn't listen to Zhou Yu's advice at all, Zhou Yu was angry, so he simply didn't say anything, and Sun Quan agreed again.

Lu Xun handed over Xiahoudun and went directly to the west to receive Lujiang.

When Zhuge Liang learned that Sun Quan had done this, he immediately made a decision and asked Zhang Yun to send a naval army to meet Liu Bei's withdrawal.

Liu Bei was very unwilling to give up the territory he had already acquired, but Zhuge Liang was the military advisor he begged for, and it was not good if he didn't listen, so he relied on Zhuge Liang.

Sun Quan was overjoyed and won such a large territory as Lujiang County, but soon he couldn't laugh.

Since Cao Cao announced that he had ceded Lujiang to Sun Quan, Jiang Sheng's attack on Lujiang was not considered a violation of the armistice agreement with Cao Cao.

Zhang Ning led an army of 80,000 to advance to Lujiang, Han Dang and Lu Xun were mainly infantry, while Zhang Ning's troops were mixed, including cavalry, infantry, and long-range troops.

Han Dang took the lead, and was beaten by Zhang Ning's trebuchet and crossbow cart, and before he saw Zhang Ningjun's shadow, he was defeated for a while.

Lu Xun saw that this army was not easy to deal with, so he did not make direct contact with Zhang Ning's army, but advanced in a roundabout way to take over the county seats.

Zhang Ning occupied the county seat and continued to search for the Wu army, Lu Xun went around to the rear of Zhang Ning's army and retook the county seat occupied by Zhang Ning.

Sun Quan knew that he didn't listen to Zhou Yu's persuasion, and made two loss-making deals in vain, so he ordered Lu Xun Handang to withdraw his troops and not toss in Lujiang.

This inexplicable military order made Lu Xun depressed, but this was his first time as the chief general, and he couldn't give Sun Quan a bad impression, so he obediently withdrew the army.

Cao Cao learned that Sun Quan had withdrawn his army and wanted to take back Lujiang, but Zhang Ning didn't care, relying on Lujiang County not to leave, and Cao Cao's envoy was insulted by Zhang Ning and retreated to Jiujiang.

The envoy who remained in Jiujiang to persuade Cao Cao to surrender was also subjected to insulting treatment, tied up, with a mark on his neck, and then taken out to parade through the streets, and the envoy could not stand such an insult and committed suicide by biting his tongue.

Zhang Ning only scolded the messenger a few words, and Jiang Sheng's messenger died under Cao Cao's nose, which became a big deal.

Jiang Sheng published an article denouncing Cao Cao for being unruly and massacring the envoys.

There are rules: when two armies fight, they don't cut them down. Killing the messenger is the most serious provocation.

Although Cao Cao specially sent someone to apologize and explain, Jiang Sheng finally had an excuse, how could he listen to Cao Cao's explanation?

Yu Ban was overjoyed when he got Jiang Sheng's authorization, all the armies in the northwest were all famous, but he didn't have a chance to fight, so it's good.

Yu Ban, together with nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, drove into Cao Cao's territory.

In less than a month, Yu Ban took Guangling and pointed to Jiujiang County.

Zhang Ning heard that the troops moved and attacked Jiujiang from Lujiang, and Cao's army was compressed in Jiujiang County, which was in danger, so he had to ask Jiang Sheng for peace.

Jiang Sheng was unmoved, but still persuaded Cao Cao to surrender, Cao Cao's civil ministers and military generals trembled, and they all gathered in Cao Cao's mansion to discuss countermeasures.

Just when Cao Cao's camp was retaining countermeasures, Yu Ban had already broken through the two counties of Liyang and Quanjiao.

Xiahou Yuan was defeated and retreated to Hefei, but was surrounded by Zhang Ning's army.

The army was pressing, and Cao Cao couldn't hold it anymore, so he asked Cheng Yu to lead a group to contact Jiang Sheng about the surrender.

Jiang Sheng only proposed one: kill Yuan Shu!

Yuan Shu turned out to be the emperor! This is unforgivable for Emperor Liu Xie, and it is also unacceptable for Jiang Sheng.

Cao Cao also beheaded Yuan Shu in this way, and there were originally people who had illusions about Cao Cao who were completely dead, and Cao Cao even killed those who defected to him in order to save himself!

Jingzhou was in internal chaos, Eastern Wu did not move, and Jiang Shengliu successfully unified Jiangbei.

By this time, the matter of Northwest Ma Teng should be settled!
