Chapter 251 Unintentional Jiangdong
Guan Yu fought Xiangfan, beheaded 50,000 Cao troops, and Ge Liang's generals calculated and made the Wu army lose more than 40,000. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The battle of Jingzhou shook the world.
Sun Quan was newly defeated, frightened, and stayed in Chaisang, on the one hand, hoping that the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou would not come down the river to fight them, and on the other hand, he hoped that Cao Cao's side could send troops to attack Jingzhou, so as to help him out of his evil spirit.
Cao Cao also counted on Guan Yu and Sun Quan to fight each other at first, let the two of them kill each other, weaken each other, and finally let him clean up the mess, so when Guan Yu withdrew, he also specially sent people to tell Xu Huang and them not to pursue.
Unexpectedly, only a few days later, I heard that LΓΌ Meng failed to attack Jiangling from the Yangtze River, and Hanshui Jiang Qin was attacked by the Jingzhou army all the way, and the whole army was annihilated.
Immediately afterwards, there was news that tens of thousands of Wu troops were on the front line of Baqiu and were annihilated by the entire Jingzhou army.
Before he could react, there was another news that Xiakou was besieged by Guan Yu, and Sun Quan urgently withdrew the information that Chaisang.
Holding the letter from Sun Quan asking him to send troops to relieve the siege, Cao Cao couldn't cry or laugh, put the letter still on the ground, and couldn't help but spit twice: "Useless thing!" β
With this ability, he is not ashamed, saying that he wants to capture Guan Yu to show his loyalty! Just don't disgust me, okay? Gang Meiyan said that he wanted to help me relieve the siege of Fancheng, and when he turned his face, he called me to help you relieve the siege.
However, scolding and scolding, Guan Yu actually defeated two parties in a row with the power of Jingzhou alone, it is really terrible, for such an enemy, even if it is a useless thing, it is necessary to temporarily tighten his alliance, so that he can share some of Guan Yu's energy.
I really can't imagine that Liu Bei and Guan Yu are suddenly so powerful!
It happened that the news came from Yongzhou that Liu Bei had run out of food and retired from the army, and for the time being, there was no threat on the western front, and Cao Cao could also concentrate on fighting on the central front.
The strategists had different opinions, and some people proposed: "Even if you want to save it, it will be later, if Guan Yu really goes down the river and away from Jingzhou, wouldn't it be better for us to take advantage of the situation and attack Jiangling?" β
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Since they are fighting in Fancheng, they are already ready to deal with the sneak attack in Jiangdong, how can they leave us such an opportunity?" β
Dong Zhao said: "Since Guan Yu is in Fancheng, and Lu Meng's sneak attack on Jiangling was instantly repulsed, it means that an ambush has already been planted there, and it was repelled instantly. β
Sima Yi answered for Cao Cao: "Naturally, we don't really want to attack Jiangling, just make a show, first, to give Sun Quan an explanation, and second, to test how many people there are in Jingzhou." β
That's what Cao Cao meant, and asked Xu Huang to lead the army with great fanfare and slowly march towards Jiangling.
At this moment, the news came that Liu Feng and Huang Zhong led the army from Shangyong, and Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Xu Huang to stop and make every effort to deal with the new enemy.
It turned out that although Liu Bei intended to attack Chang'an on a large scale, he remembered that Jiangdong might attack Jingzhou that Ge Liang and him had mentioned before, and was reminded by Fa Zheng, coupled with the disadvantage of the army, he simply sent Huang Zhong from Hanzhong to Shangyong, and Liu Feng jointly sent troops to support Jingzhou, and then led his troops to retreat slowly.
Ge Liang arrived in Gangneung and asked Mi Fang and Shiren to immediately lead their troops back to Padang County and ask them to help temporarily maintain the peace of Padang.
As for himself, he stayed in Gangneung for the time being, waiting to see what happened.
On the way back to the army, Liu Bei was connected to Jingzhou, which surprised him after returning in vain.
This is the west is not lit and the east is bright, there is no progress in the west, and the east is shining! He decided to go to Jingzhou immediately to have a look.
By the time Liu Bei arrived in Jingzhou, it was already more than a month later.
Cao Cao still occupied Xiangyang City, and seeing that Jiangling was still heavily garrisoned, he did not go south, but was busy suppressing the rebels who responded everywhere when Guan Yu attacked Fancheng before.
Huang Zhong led the army to Jiangling, Liu Feng still retreated to Shangyong, and they and Cao's army didn't even really fight, and they staggered around each other.
Guan Yu also returned to Jiangling, Jiangxia, and he temporarily handed it over to Liu Pan to guard. As for the Taishou candidate, it will be up to Liu Bei to appoint.
All sides are busy spying on the enemy's situation, studying and judging the situation, and adjusting their deployments.
After Guan Yu returned to Jiangling, Ge Liang returned to Ba County, asked Mi Fang and them to return to Chengdu, and then waited for Liu Bei to arrive in Ba County.
At Ge Liang's suggestion, Liu Bei was united with Fa Zheng and Pang.
When Ge Liang also got on the big boat, he went to Jingzhou again with Liu Bei, looking at Liu Bei, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng who were on the same boat, there was a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu.
Yes, many years ago, they met in Jingzhou to discuss the major events of advancing Xichuan, and now, they are going to Jingzhou to gather together, there must be something related to the great transformation of Shu Han to happen.
Liu Bei held Ge Liang's hand tightly: "Strategist, tell me quickly, you have wiped out tens of thousands of enemy troops in Jiangdong within a few days this time?" β
Ge Liang gave a general account of the situation: "...... Lord, now that we have taken the opportunity to take back Jiangxia and choke the pass of Jiangdong's sneak attack on Jingzhou, as long as we send another capable general to defend it, we can really go north with all our strength in the future and go north to the Central Plains. β
Liu Bei hated: "Jiangdong has attacked Jingzhou three times and five times, I really can't wait to go down the river and destroy Sun Quan!" β
Although he guessed that Liu Bei was just talking angry, Ge Liang also had to pick up: "My lord, back then, Huang Zu had blocked Jiangsun's enemy for so many years with nothing to do, and now Jiangdong wants to go to Jingzhou again, but it is not so easy to come in." β
Fa Zheng also persuaded: "If the army goes on an expedition to Jiangdong, not to mention the victory or defeat, even if it takes Jiangdong completely, it will not make much sense for a while. Jiangdong has been run by the Sun family for many years, and the lord does not have much public opinion base there, so he is only afraid that turmoil will be inevitable in the short term, and from then on, he will have to defend Cao Cao on all fronts, and the gains outweigh the losses. β
Pang Tong said more directly: "The lord already has Jingzhou and Yizhou, not the north of the Central Plains, go to attack Jiangdong first, the people of the world are afraid that they will think that the lord just wants to divide one side, thenββ"
Liu Bei sighed: "What you said is exactly what I think. To be honest, I used to be negligent in guarding against Koto, that is, I never took Koto seriously. I, Liu Beizhizhi, should be to enter the Central Plains in the north and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, how can I abandon the Central Plains and go to fight for land with Jiangdong and have a corner of Gou'an? β
Ge Liang also let out a sigh of relief and said to Liu Bei: "We naturally know the grand plan of the lord, so even though Jiangdong attacked again, we only took the opportunity to recapture Jiangxia and did not pursue forward. After Sun Quan took the initiative to withdraw from Exian, we also released the thousands of enemy troops who were surrounded in Xiakou City. In this way, I ask the lord to condemn himself. β
Liu Bei took Ge Liang's hand: "If you want to blame it, it's still to blame that I don't pay enough attention to Jiangdong, and there are too few people and horses assigned to the military division." (To be continued.) )
