Cao Cao smiled bitterly, he has used the edict too many times, Lu Bu is not the same thing, Liu Biao is not the same thing, Liu Bei is not the same thing, Sun Quan is far away on the other side of the Yangtze River, will it be a thing?

"King Wu." Cheng Yu opened his lips lightly.

"What! Crowned king? No, no, no! No choice! Cao Cao didn't say anything, Xun Youhuo stood up and glared at Cheng Yu angrily: "Except for the time when I opened the Han Dynasty, there is no other surname to be crowned king!" This is not the first of its kind. ”

Xun Yu, Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, even if the Son of Heaven is in power, they are still loyal to the Son of Heaven, and they try their best to assist Cao Cao just to help the Han family.

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu intently, and his heart was also overturned. It is not a good thing to set this precedent, and Cao Cao can also justifiably enter the title of king in the future. Others can be crowned kings, why can't he be crowned kings if he runs for the Han Dynasty wholeheartedly? The subordinate Wu also unreasonably obstructed him. Thinking of this, Cao Cao was even more determined to let Jiangdong, the son of the son, be crowned king, and paved a way for him Cao Cao to be the king in the future.

Xun You looked up to the sky and sighed, and wept impotently.

The play must be comprehensive, Cao Cao in order to make Lu Bu think that he is powerless to resist, together with the defenders of the inner countryside, all retreat to Wancheng. Anyway, Lu Bu didn't care about opening up the Wuguan Road, this strategic value had long been abandoned by Lu Bu, and Cao Cao couldn't paralyze Lu Bu by staying here, leaving Lu Bu wary.

"Our army was defeated in Hanshui, the elite was completely wiped out, and the main force was gone. The Jingzhou front was stretched too long, and the strength was insufficient. The order went down, and the whole army retreated to Wancheng. Cao Cao ordered. Secretly, he quietly wrote a letter and sent it to the forbidden place of the Fan City Guard. How could Cao Cao be willing to fill the trenches with blood before capturing the dungeon and handing it over to others? Before leaving, he also wanted Lu Bu to have a hard time.

——————————————————

Lü Lingqi was ordered to be the vanguard, leading the heavy armored infantry stripped from the heavy armored chain cavalry defeated by the Cao army, and marched south along the Han River to Fancheng.

The closer you get to Fancheng, the more depressed it becomes. In the past, it was prosperous, and the population was solid in the land of Jingbei, thousands of miles away, and there were no people, leaving empty villages. All edible things have long been swept away by Cao Jun. Lu Lingqi carefully led the army to patrol the Han River to find a ferry.

The Cao army seemed to disappear out of thin air, and Lu Lingqi's most fearful half-crossing attack did not happen, and the army successfully crossed the Han River. The depth of the Hanshui River in the middle and lower reaches is not comparable to that of the upper and lower reaches of the river, and once it encounters an enemy attack, it is still a question whether it can return safely.

The most dangerous time for the other party to cross, Lu Lingqi relieved her mind and sent scouts to Fancheng to inspect.

"Report, empty city."

"Newspaper, the city is empty."

"Report, empty city."

The "......" scouts returned one after another, and successively reported back the clear news of the investigation.

"Cao Cao, this person is insidious. Tonight they will camp at the four gates outside the city and lock them inside the city. Divide half of your forces into the city and carefully check for all potential dangers! Lu Lingqi directly felt that things were weird, is Cao Cao that kind of atmospheric person?

Lu Lingqi held the crescent halberd, closed her eyes in the tent to recuperate, and after a few days of long-distance running, she was exhausted, but she did not dare to take off her armor to rest, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to keep their knives in their hands and their armor not to leave their bodies. In case of unforeseen circumstances. Her army has just arrived, and it is the best time for Cao's army to rob the camp.

In the second half of the night, Lu Lingqi was woken up by the sound of footsteps outside the tent, Ma Yunlu opened the door and walked in, only to see Ma Yunlu's face frightened: "The soldiers found a large amount of fire oil in the city, sewers, houses, and treasury everywhere!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't carelessly enter the city." Lu Lingqi was also scared into a cold sweat, if it wasn't for her father's warning before leaving, she would have led the army into the city in a hurry, wouldn't the whole army be buried in the fire.

"Drain the oil everywhere immediately, and ...... quickly"

As soon as the word 'fast' fell, the rumbling explosions in the city continued, and the flames rose into the sky.

"Cao Jun, who was hiding in the city, must have found out that it was discovered by our army and took the lead in setting fire to the city!" Ma Yunlu exclaimed: "Fetch water, extinguish the fire!" ”

"Block the city gate first, and don't let Cao's army withdraw! Mingjin told the soldiers in the city to evacuate. "Lu Lingqi immediately made a decision to extinguish the fire? An empty city, what fire to extinguish? In case Cao Jun came back from behind and blocked the fire extinguishing army in the city, wouldn't it be another dead end?

Fires were lit from all directions, and the flames covered the whole city for a moment. Cao Bing pushed to the city wall that had already been hollowed out, escaped from the city through the gap, evaded the siege of Lu Lingqi, and disappeared into the night.

The firelight illuminated hundreds of miles, on the shore of the Han River, Lu Bu was furious, secretly praying that Lu Lingqi would never have anything to do.

When the battle report came, Lu Bu calmed down and continued to plan the next route. Strategic Fancheng, the news of Sun Quan's entry into the throne spread all over the world, the world is loyal and mournful, only two or three princes secretly rejoiced in the tent, Sun Quan took a big step more than ten years earlier than in history, and tested people's hearts, at least for some three people, it is not a good thing.

At the same time, the news that Zhou Yu led a large number of sailors from Chaisang Pass to the north along the river made Lu Bu very angry. Slashed the saber on the desk, his eyes glowed with coldness, and he roared angrily.

"The Lord is angry. Our army did not occupy Xiangyang, and made a secret report, Cao Cao issued an edict to put Jingzhou under the rule of Jiangdong, and Jiangdong sent troops in the name of justification, but it was not justified in the name of our army's attack on Jingzhou. I think that within a few days, an envoy from Jiangdong will come to ask for Fancheng. Xu Shu said suddenly.

"Could it be that Koto wants to tear up the alliance?" Lu Bu asked. Cao Cao and Liu Bei are not dead, and Lu Bu doesn't want to tear his face with Jiangdong so early.

"For the sake of Jingzhou, Jiangdong may not be like this." Lu Xun interjected: "The Jiangdong family is in power, and many people in the family are short-sighted and only see immediate interests. ”

Lu Bu suddenly stopped talking, and the big tent was dull and depressed. Lu Bu also knew that under the temptation of Jingzhou's fat meat, few people could hold it, and Jiangdong was secretly ordered by Cao Cao to be the righteous teacher of King Qin, and to discuss Lu Bu, the 'anti-thief', from the general righteousness, Lu Bu was untenable, and he could not get the support of the people of Jingzhou.

"I have a plan, it depends on how the general chooses." Liu Ye said: "Since Cao Cao wants our army to fall into a mutual conquest with the Jiangdong Army in Xianyang, why don't our army jump out of this quagmire." Since Cao Cao is willing to give it away, our army can also be a favor, first decide with Cao Cao, unify the north, and go south with the brave infantry horses of the north to annihilate the south in one fell swoop! ”

"Wouldn't this strengthen Jiangdong, and the tail will not fall?" Lu Bu pressed his head and was faintly aching by Cao Cao.

"No, the general misunderstood what Zi Yang meant." Frustrated and said with a smile, Lu Bu had excellent knowledge, but as soon as he met Cao Cao, fear rose in his heart, and he lost his usual wisdom: "Ziyang means that Cao Cao supports the Jiangdong army, why don't our army support others, let these two parties fight in Jingzhou, and our army will free up their hands to fight Cao Cao first." ”

"You mean Jingnan Guan Yu?" Lu Bu suddenly came to his senses, and the only one who could be an opponent for Jiangdong in Jingzhou was Jingnan Guan Yu, and Lu Bu's rising hope was extinguished again: "But Nanban is invading Jingnan, will Guan Yu leave his lair and carry Xiangyang on his back?" ”

Fu Zhu continued: "The Nanban army was recruited by the general, and should be mediated by the general, as long as the general comes forward and divides the city and land for the Nanban to live temporarily, the Nanban may not quit the army. ”

"Even so, there is no general in Jingnan, and Guan Yu may not dare to go north easily."

"Then take Xiangyang first, and send Xiangyang, the territory occupied by our army, to Jingnan, even if Guan Yu understands that he is using his army as a gunman, he has to jump into this pit. Liu Bei nested in the border, the momentum of Xichuan was far away, there was no force to compete for the world, and he got a complete Jingzhou as the capital, this is a yang scheme, Guan Yu knew what I wanted, and had to act according to the will of our army. Liu Ye said fiercely. This is completely making a wedding dress for others, and I can't bear to let Jingzhou trap Cao Cao?

One city and one place, Lu Bu is willing, but Jingzhou is under the rule of Liu Biao, the people are solid and the population is sufficient, Lu Bu can't make up his mind, one is not good, it is to raise tigers for trouble!

"Newspaper. The naval army blocked the river, and our army lost contact with Fancheng! ”

Just as Lu Bu was paying attention, a soldier rushed into the tent.

"It seems that Cai Mao has made up his mind and is unwilling to take refuge in Chang'an." Lu Bu sighed, without the support of the Xiangyang army, Lu Meng's unformed water army could not confront the Jiangdong water army, it seems that even if Xiangyang is occupied, Lu Bu will not be able to hold it: "Secret letter Huang Chengyan, tomorrow at noon, open the south gate of Xiangyang, and cooperate with our army to attack the city." At the same time, he sent a letter to Changsha to tell Guan Yu that the public security secret meeting. ”

Lü Bu decided to support Guan Yu to fight against Jiangdong. Even if Liu Bei gets half of Jingzhou, it is a matter of minutes for Lu Bu to clean him up, at least it is impossible for Liu Bei to hold Xichuan, Hanzhong is in the hands of Lu Bu, and at the critical time of the decisive battle between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, Lu Bu can send troops from Hanzhong at any time.

————————————————————

Day and night, the army marched rapidly for two days and one night, flipped through Jingshan, and suddenly appeared outside the south gate of Xiangyang.

Lü Bu led the archers, Huang Zhong took the school swordsmen, and Lü Meng integrated a huge infantry and galloped to the south gate of Xiangyang. Twenty miles away from Xiangyang, I saw a Jingzhou elite soldier stationed in front. When the elite soldiers of Jingzhou saw that there were less than 1,000 enemy horsemen, they didn't know whether to light the beacon fire or not.

This soldier's costume is Cao Bing's costume at a glance, Cao Bing was defeated in the first battle of Hanshui, hundreds of thousands of Cao troops were defeated on all fronts, and dozens of hundreds of deserters got lost and ran around, and it is not surprising to come here.

The guard general Han Song saw that it was Cao's soldiers, and he was full of spirits: "Brother Gongyi will press the formation for me, and see me defeat this Cao soldier who does not know the height of the sky in one fell swoop, and raise my eyebrows for Jingzhou." ”

Fu Xun's eyes were full of contempt, when the Cao army came, only Wen Ping's army swore not to retreat, and the rest of the Jingzhou generals ran faster than anyone else. Now the Cao soldiers have been broken by Lu Bu's army, and they use the defeated Cao soldiers to prove their bravery?

Han Songchun raised his sword, shouted, and led two thousand Jingzhou soldiers to rush over. Lu Bu looked coldly at the approaching Jingzhou soldiers, and with a wave of his hand, the knight bent his bow and arrows, and thousands of sharp arrows shot towards the rushing enemy.
