Chapter 449: Xichuan Fights Again
On the river, a boat broke the waves. A golden-armored man on the boat stood in the wind, admiring the rolling waters of the Yangtze River.
On the south bank, Guan Yu was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and more than ten armor soldiers were lined up in a row.
"Yun Chang is so courageous." Lu Bu shook his finger at Guan Yu on the shore and said to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu said with a smile: "Guan Yu has Shiyuan by his side, don't you know that this trip is dangerous?" β
After Xu Shu finished speaking, he put down a small boat and headed to the south bank to meet him. He and Pang Tong were originally good friends, Pang Tong came with Guan Yu, and Xu Shu should come out to greet him. Pang Tong jumped into the boat first, followed by Guan Yu, and then eight or nine Kansai big men jumped in one after another. The boat went to the center of the river.
I saw Guan Yu talking to Xu Shu enthusiastically, and invisibly unifying Pang left and right to hold Xu Shu in the middle. Ghosts! Guan Yu was disdainful of the scholar Confucian scholars, when did he respect a scribe who couldn't beat his hands and couldn't lift his shoulders? Combined with Guan Yu's single-handed banquet, Lu Bu was sure that Guan Yu was going to use Xu Shu as an amulet.
Lu Bu gradually became displeased, overestimating Guan Yudi's guts! However, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, Guan Yu dares to come to the banquet, he is bold, and it is understandable to hold a person hostage, but his IQ is a little anxious.
In the distance of Jiangwu, dozens of fast transmissions loomed, and it seemed that Guan Yu was still very well prepared. Lu Bu smiled: "Guan Yunchang inevitably overestimated his identity. Who is this official who can use a minion to use a minion on him? He is not Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or Sun Quan. β
Beside Guan Yu, a really shabby-looking and miserable mixed scribe, with a funny face, with an inconsiderate martial arts, tsk. Lu Bu didn't slack off because of this, isn't Sima Weidi's advertising line just to get this person and that, and one person can win the world. In the face of such a talent, how dare Lu Bu slack off.
The boat was on the boat, and Lu Bu personally stepped forward, looked over Guan Yu, and bowed to Pang Tong: "Mr. Fengxiao, I am fortunate to see Xianyan today, and I am happy to comfort my life." β
"The lower official is a small first-order county order, how dare he accept such a big gift. Don't do that with the generals. Although Pang Tong said eagerly, he accepted this salute generously and bowed back.
"Guan Yu has seen General Lu." Although Guan Yu was dissatisfied with Lu Bu's high opinion of Pang Tong, he still did not lose his courtesy and took the lead in saluting. If Pang Tong was not Xu Shu's friend, Guan Yu wouldn't have bothered to bring this guy with him.
"Yun Chang doesn't have to be polite, come on, come on, we haven't seen each other for many years. I have prepared water and wine to wash the dust for the two of you. Lu Bu stepped forward enthusiastically and grabbed it, Guan Yu was also sharp, dodged, and hid behind Xu Shu, and then Xu Shu still did not leave his attack range.
Lu Bu suddenly darkened his face: "General Guan is too worried." If Ben wanted to harm Your Excellency, he thought that he would be safe and sound by holding Yuan Zhi hostage? β
Xu Shu and Pang Tong were shocked, and when they looked back, Guan Yu was very close to the bullying, and there was indeed a possibility of holding Xu Shu hostage. Guan Yu blushed, will his face be even redder after he was exposed by Lu Bu? Guan Yu glanced around, there were only sailors and boatmen on the boat, and there were no soldiers and generals. Under this background, Guan Yu felt that he was angry. Gradually moved away from Xu Shu.
When the wine was half-drunk, Guan Yu's head was swollen, dizzy, and he didn't dare to continue to introduce more, for fear of making a mistake after drinking, he hurriedly said: "I don't know what the general invited me this time?" β
Lu Bu also put down his chopsticks and glanced at Pang Tong first, Lu Bu didn't believe that Pang Tong didn't explain his intentions to Guan Yu in advance. Only then did he say: "I want to carve up Jingzhou." β
The general said cautiously. You and I are Hanchen, how can we spit out words that are not disobedient? Guan Yu said with a little anger.
"It's up to you." Lu Bu said indifferently: "Let's not play dumb riddles. In fact, this big man has fallen apart, and you are willing to deceive yourself and others. The king is distracted, the land is divided, and the world has long been divided. It's your brother Liu Bei, after the Han family, but there is no place to stand. Send you a Jingzhou, if you don't want it, forget it, Jiangdong won't think Jingzhou is too big. β
"Why do I believe that you will be kind enough to give Jingzhou to my brother?"
"Because my front is too long, my troops can't defend Jingzhou. You have to use troops against Xichuan again, and send Jingzhou to Liu Bei, which can also reduce your troops in Xichuan. Lu Bu replied honestly, he had no fear, and he was not afraid that Guan Yu would not want it.
"I want Jingzhou! However, General LΓΌ had to mediate the Jingnan barbarian army. β
"I'll take a leave of absence immediately, and you will set aside a county for the barbarians to settle down. I have negotiated with them, and the taxes are ...... a lot every year" Lu Bu told Guan Yu word for word the terms of the negotiation with Zhurong, and at the same time gave Guan Yu the agreement with Zhurong. This is related to the dignity of the Han people, even if Liu Bei is cultivated by the barbarians and greatly strengthens his power, Lu Bu will not cede the land to the Nanban. Nanban should pay land taxes to Liu Bei at all, this is a national issue.

Yangpingguan.
Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei faced each other, and the friction continued, but there was no big war, Liu Bei secretly transferred grain and grass, set fire to empty warehouses, and threatened to destroy all grain and grass. Liu Bei lied about the urgency of the military situation and could not resist the army of Chang'an in Yangping Guan, so the lion opened his mouth and asked Liu Zhang to increase his troops by 30,000 soldiers and millions of stones of grain and grass. Huang Quan found out the truth and reported it to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang was furious, increased his troops by 10,000, and halved the grain and grass.
Liu Bei came to Sichuan for a year, not only did not eliminate the Chang'an army in Hanzhong, but asked him for money and soldiers at every turn, which made Liu Zhang and the people of Sichuan and Shu burdened him heavily. Liu Bei just wants to use Liu Zhang's money and food to develop his own power, and as for Hanzhong, of course, he will not and cannot be eliminated. Only if Hanzhong exists, Liu Bei has a reason to continue to stay in Yizhou. Liu Bei is also unwilling to fight to the death with Hanzhong, which is not in the interests of other places.
However, at this time, Liu Bei was no longer Liu Bei who had just entered Sichuan. After the center of Lu Bu's army was transferred to Jingzhou, Liu Bei also freed his hands, a small banquet in three days, and a large banquet in five days, and carefully won the support of many officials in Sichuan.
It happened that at this time, Zhang Song's news of communicating with Liu Bei was leaked, and Liu Zhang killed Zhang Song. Liu Bei didn't dare to delay any longer, listed Liu Zhang's countless crimes, officially declared war on Liu Zhang, and attacked Fucheng, an important town in Yizhou.
Liu Bei originally wanted to strengthen his power again, and then turn his face ruthlessly. Zhuge Liang saw through Lu Bu's strategy early, Liu Bei wanted to retreat from Yangping Pass and return to the Sword Pavilion, and then suddenly kill back to Yangping Pass, and hit the Hanzhong defender by surprise, conquering Hanzhong in one fell swoop, driving Lu Bu's army out of Hanzhong completely, and then slowly cleaning up Xichuan, the plan could not catch up with the changes. Liu Bei used Liu Zhang's support forces to attack Liu Zhang, completely angering Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang ordered his son Liu Xun, the general Zhang Ren to lead an army of 50,000, and attack Liu Bei from behind Fucheng.
Liu Bei was attacked by the enemy before and after, and did not dare to annoy the officers and soldiers of Hanzhong again, so he started a big battle with Liu Xun in Luocheng.
Liu Bei captured the city. Liu Zhang gathered the officials to discuss the retreat from the enemy. Zheng Du offered advice: "Although Liu Bei is attacking the city and seizing the land, there are not many soldiers, the soldiers are not attached, Yegu is a resource, and the army has no baggage. It is better to drive the people of Zitong in Brazil and cross the west of Fushui. Its barns and wild valleys are all burned down, and the deep ditches are high, waiting for them. If he asks for war, don't allow it. There was nothing for a long time, but for a hundred days, the soldiers walked on their own. I take advantage of the false attack, and I can catch it. β
Zheng Du's strategy was very good, and the other spies who were ambushed by Liu Zhang's side passed the news to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei felt angry and frightened when he heard about it, and hurriedly asked Fa Zheng about the enemy's strategy. Fa Zheng replied: "Liu Zhang will not listen to it in the end, there is nothing to worry about. β
As Fa Zheng expected, out of love for the people, Liu Zhang gave up this excellent plan and told his subordinates: "I have heard that I have resisted the enemy to calm the people, and I have not heard of moving the people to avoid the enemy." So Zheng Du was dismissed from his official position, without his strategy.
Liu Zhang chose to send troops to engage Liu Bei head-on. However, the generals of Yizhou were either defeated or surrendered, and the bad news came one after another. The more Liu Zhang fought, the more painful he became, but Liu Bei became stronger and stronger.
Just when Liu Zhang was confused, Zhang Xiu was the main general, Wang Shuang was the vanguard, Wang Ping was the grain and grass official, and Hanzhong sent troops to assist Xichuan to attack Liu Bei.

The surface of the Hanshui River, the ship is vast, and the building ship locks the river. Under the command of Zhou Yu, the warships galloped on the battlefield like thousands of troops. The Jiangdong Navy blocked all the horse heads outside Xiangyang City, and destroyed the Jingzhou Navy Gate Camp under the command of Cai Zhongcai and Caihe, and the Jingzhou Navy was completely defeated. The world's elite Jingzhou Navy has since withdrawn from the stage of history.
The carriage creaked and went straight to the south gate. Next to the carriage, several tall guards trotted along.
"General, Jiangdong envoy, ask to see you outside the city of Lusu." As a friend of Lu Sudi, Liu Ye did not want Lu Su to be embarrassed by the soldiers at the city gate, so he reported the news to Lu Bu as soon as possible.
"Jiangdong is here to ask for Jingzhou. Guan Yu's army has not yet arrived, and I can't see him for the time being, so Ziyang helped me hold Lu Su for a few days. Lu Bu said. Guan Yu and Pang Tong are really enough, these two people seem to grasp Lu Bu's sore spot, grinding and grinding, traveling three miles a day, shaking three times a day, and taking the army from the public security to receive Xiangyang. Lu Bu was extremely aggrieved in his heart, this is to give away a city with a pawn face, and the other party still loves it.
Guan Yu and Pang Tong's plan is nothing more than to buy Cao Cao time to increase his troops, and also to maintain a delicate balance, that is, Cao Cao and Lu Bu had better be injured by two hundred, so that there would be no one-sided fiasco, and they would seek development in the cracks.
Where did Guan Yu Pang Tong's confidence come from, could he really be sure that he Lu Bu was Cao Cao's opponent? Even when Lu Bu himself faced Cao Cao, he was scared, where did the confidence of these two people come from? Lu Bu felt helpless, and it was funny!
Lu Su stayed in the city for a few days, and Zhou Yu finally couldn't sit still, so he sent Tai Shici as the vanguard and led 10,000 infantry to attack the north gate. Lu Bu ignored Zhou Yudi's practices, and Liu Qi sent people to the south gate for help many times, but Lu Bu was indifferent, and the north gate was broken.
Lu Bu deliberately spread the news of the destruction of the enemy in the North Gate City to Guan Yu, Guan Yu and Pang Tong were anxious, and they quickly stepped up their horses, completed the ten-day journey in one day, and arrived in Xiangyang.
