Jingzhou, outside Fancheng, Cao Jun barracks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cao Cao paced back and forth restlessly, waiting for the news to come back from the fine work. A few days ago, he learned that Lu Bu's crusade against Xichuan was unsuccessful, and the class returned to Chang'an. Cao Cao sniffed out something unusual and hurriedly withdrew his troops from the Xiangfan battle situation in case of accidents.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou was merged into the ointment, and his life was short. Cao Cao went south, but his condition was aggravated, and on this day Cao Cao dismissed the army, Liu Biao returned to the light and improved slightly, and he was busy convening civil and military officials to discuss the isolation of the will. Ordered civil and military officials to assist Liu Qi as the lord of Jingzhou.

Mrs. Cai was furious when she heard this, closed the inner door, and made Cai Mao and Zhang Yun guard the outer door. Liu Qi knew that his father was critically ill and came to visit the patient, so he went to the outer door, but Cai Mao blocked him. After several beggings and not being allowed to enter, Liu Qi stood outside the door and cried a lot.

Mrs. Cai discussed with Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and pretended to write a will, making her second son Liu Cong the lord of Jingzhou, and everything was ready, so she only waited for Liu Biao to take the throne.

Since learning that Lu Bu had defeated Shangyong, Cao Cao's mind was no longer in Jingzhou. Cao Cao knew that Lu Bu himself could not take Jingzhou, and would rather Jingzhou be independent, and would rather give it to Jiangdong than be occupied by Cao Cao. Cao Cao also had such a thought, this was a helpless choice to balance the forces, and only by killing Lu Bu could Cao Cao take advantage of the situation to stay in Jingzhou.

Cao Cao gave up the excellent advantage of Xiangyang, just as Lu Bu gave up the excellent situation of Xichuan. As soon as Cao Cao withdrew his troops from Fancheng, the army went up the Han River, directly took Zancheng, and then took Nanxiang, divided Shangyong's Lü Bu army and Wuguan's Chang'an army into two, and blocked Shangyong's Lü Bu army in the marginal area.

"Report! Luoyang reported urgently, and Zhang Yan led the Montenegrin army to the south, and joined forces with Zhang Liao's army, with a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses, and went out of Jiguan to Hanoi. Yecheng is in a hurry. ”

"How can it be!" Cao Cao angrily smashed his fist on the case: "Zhang Yan is a traitor, and he kills me angrily." If the prime minister has his hands free, he will let the chickens and dogs of the state not stay! ”

The news came too suddenly, and Cao Cao never believed that Lü Bu would fight on two fronts. Although there was a large army defending in the rear, he suddenly heard that Zhang Yan and Zhang Liao ordered 200,000 troops to press Hanoi, and his heart was shocked. 200,000 troops, excluding the water in the middle, with the elite of Chang'an as the vanguard, plus the militia soldiers under Zhang Yan, there are at least 100,000. If Zhang Liao leads the elite of Chang'an to break through the defense, and then the peasant soldiers like locusts led by Zhang Yan scrape the ground, the rich land of Jizhou will suffer a catastrophe.

"Prime Minister, the rear has suffered heavy troops, and it is advisable to return to the division as soon as possible." Cheng Yu persuaded. After Guo Jia's death, Cheng Yu's status in Cao Ying's camp became even higher, and his strategic influence on Cao Cao gradually became irreplaceable.

Cao Cao suddenly smiled in the serious handsome tent: "If you panic and retreat when you hear that Lu Bujun is pressing the border, how will I put my old face in the future?" Cao Cao became confident: "Where the original appearance is, the battlefield is there." It will not change because of Lu Bu's plan. ”

A hint of joy appeared on Xun You's face: "Could it be that the prime minister wants to set the battlefield in Jingzhou?" ”

Seeing Cao Cao nodding, everyone suddenly realized that the battlefield was set in Jingzhou, and it was Jingzhou that was destroyed by the war, and Jingzhou, the rich land of Jingzhou, became a ruin after the battle of the army, and even if it fell into the hands of the enemy, it would not feel very uncomfortable.

Cheng Yu asked suspiciously, "Not bad." The battlefield is more strategically valuable in Jingzhou than in our own territory. It's just that how did the army of Zhang Liao and Zhang Yan in Hanoi retreat? And how did they attract them to Jingzhou? ”

"It's not easy." Xun You said: "Where Lu Bu is, the Chang'an army has to fight wherever it goes." Now, Zhang Liao wants to cut off the return route of our army and the supply of baggage, and our army still has Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Xuchang to supply. And Lü Butun's troops are in Shangyong, although they can get supplies from Shangyong nearby, but as long as they capture Nanxiang and Neixiang, cut off the possibility of Lü Bu's army returning to Chang'an from Wuguan Road, and although Hanzhong can reach Shangyong, Shangyong is difficult to return to Hanzhong, which is a road of no return. Our army blocked Lu Bu in Shangyong, so that he could not advance or retreat, and Zhang Liao would lead the army south to rescue. ”

"Those who know me, Gongda also. Yan Liangwen Chou took the Fang Ling as the vanguard, and Xu Huang opened his jaw to take the inner countryside and blocked all the routes of Shangyong out of the mountain. If there is any incompetence, behead! ”

"Whoa!"

Cao Cao divided the two armies to attack them, and he led the Chinese army to sit in Anzhong to support the two armies in a timely manner.

Jingnan, Changsha County Shoufu.

"General Guan, Jingzhou's gathering is the time to show its strength. The subordinates have three clever strategies for reference. Pang Tong stood under the hall, his expression was extremely unhappy, and he had no respect for Guan Yu, who was wearing armor and hanging a sword on the main seat, and looked like he was doing business.

Pang Tongyi's deputy is unspeakably respectful, and many times in the Han Dynasty also looked at his face, at least Pang Tong didn't get Liu Bei's courtesy. After Liu Bei left, Guan Yu, who was heavy on soldiers and light on doctors, made Pang Tong's work even more unpleasant, and the two of them got along unpleasantly. Pang Tong was originally a Gong Cao, and he was very aggrieved when he was a good Gong Cao, first the county order surrendered to Jiangdong, and then the county seat was captured by Jingnan, and Pang Tong, a subordinate officer of the county order, could only follow the county order to throw around.

Guan Yu didn't raise his head, his eyes never left the 'Spring and Autumn' account in his hand, and said dryly: "Say." ”

There was no change in the expression at all, and they fell into Pang Tong's eyes one by one, and Pang Tong had the urge to resign: "The best policy: give up Jingnan, the general threatens to enter Xiangyang to assist the eldest son Liu Qi, and exchange the wild land of Jingnan for the rich land of Jingbei." Zhongce: Unite Jiangdong and go to Jingbei together, and the two alliances will fight against Cao Cao and Lü Bu, and divide Jingbei equally with Jiangdong. The next policy: according to the soldiers Jingnan to resist the southern barbarian tribes led by Zhu Rong, sit and watch the changes in Jingbei, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when the time comes, the soldiers will go north to get a piece of the pie. ”

Guan Yu finally raised his head, his half-squinted eyes also opened a point, but his face was not happy, and he said disdainfully: "Have a good plan to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and you will be forced to make the next decision." Giving up the eldest brother's inheritance, you are the first to say, and it is the best policy. I will not do anything to flee from the battle. Guan Yu raised his voice and scolded angrily: "Get out!" ”

Pang Tong's lips squirmed a few times, but he couldn't say a word. How much he wanted to explain to Guan Yu, analyze the situation, and see Guan Yu arrogant and awe-inspiring, he went out dejectedly. When he arrived at the door, Pang Tong looked back, and Guan Yu was like a statue integrated into the book in his hand.

"It's a good plan to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but the army must be able to enter Xiangyang City first!" Pang Tong sighed. If it were not for the excuse of assisting the eldest son Liu Qi, the Jingbei army would not even allow the Jingnan army to cross the river. And Mrs. Cai, Cai Mao and other Jingzhou clans support the second son, if Guan Yu supports the eldest prince, he can stir up chaos in Xiangcheng, and then there is Cao Cao, Lu Bu's army is eyeing the tiger, Pang Tong can win in the chaos, and exchange the barren land of Jingnan for the richness of Jingbei.

It's really a mountain watching the tiger fight, the Jiangdong army in Chaisangkou also has such an abacus, and after Lu Bu and Cao Cao split the victory and defeat in Jingzhou, how could these two let Jingnan cross the natural danger? Pang Tong sighed for a long time, his meaning was more inclined to send Jingnan to Jiangdong, let Jiangdong fight each other with Nanban in Jingnan, and after taking Jingbei, he would return to Jingnan again.

Meanness.

Lu Bu washed the Yong family in blood, and the news spread far and wide. When it was passed to Kuaiqi's army, Kuaiqi was like a lightning strike. Ren Kuaiqi made a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect that the deep-rooted Shen family couldn't even stop it for ten days. The mediocrity is the final word of the Shen family.

"Envoy, what now? Kuai Zirou means that the Kuai family fell to Yecheng, why don't you go back to Fangling immediately and ask Cao Gong for help? Fang Ling General Wei Wei said. At this time, not only Kuai Qi panicked, but even the generals and sergeants all lost their opinions.

Kuai Zirou is Kuai Liang, the head of the Kuai family, one of the four major families in Jingzhou. His words, Kuai Qi had to listen.

"Who would have thought that there would be a Lu Bu in the wild boar forest. Knowing this, the official had already asked Cao Gong to defend Fangling. Is it too late? "No one expected that Lu Bu would dare to fight against the water and send troops from Hanzhong to Fangling, which is a taboo for soldiers. Kuai Qi didn't expect it, and Cao Cao didn't expect it either. Otherwise, how could Cao Cao drive straight into Fancheng, the opposite bank of Xiangyang, of course, to block his old opponent in Shankakali.

Strategically, Fangling and Shangyong are a remote place, which cannot be compared with Xiangyang and Fancheng, which is why Cao Cao did not attack Fangling first, who would give up the advantage and go straight to the nest, and attack the other party without touching the border. In Cao Cao's thoughts, as long as Xiangyang is captured, other counties in Jingzhou will naturally vote without swords.

The second character of Ma Lao in the five constants of the main Bo Ma clan Zhong Chang thought for a while and said: "Judging from Lu Bu's lightning-like attack on Shangyong, I am afraid that Fang Ling, which is far inferior to Shangyong, will not be able to stop Lu Bu's offensive. ”

"Abandon the city on the spot, and the sin deserves to be beheaded. Lu Fengxian is a general of soldiers and horses, commanding the soldiers and horses of the whole country, why don't I obey the laws of the Han Dynasty and obey the general's dispatch? A thief-eyed aide suggested. This staff member made a good sycophant, and did not mention the surrender at all, in order to obey the general's dispatch to cover up the surrender and take care of Kuaiqi's face.

Kuai Qi was the Taishou of Fangling, and if he abandoned the city and fled to Cao Cao's army when Lu Bu's army came to attack, Cao Cao would have countless reasons to kill him. After Lu Bu captured Fangling, it was also difficult for Kuai Qi to keep his wife and children in Fangling.

Thinking of this, Kuai Qi had already paid attention, and pretended to be displeased and said, "What do you mean." Didn't I bring troops to assist the general in attacking Fangling? The order went down, and the whole army obeyed the general's dispatch. Now that the tomb has been lowered, the anti-thief Shen Tan has been subdued, so he will go to the camp. The official will go to greet you. ”

This...... The generals led by Kuai Qi couldn't react for a while, but Kuai Qi had already run away, and they couldn't ask if they wanted to.

In Zhushan, during the march of Lu Bu's army, he was blocked by a guy wearing navy blue armor and a scribe's hat, who couldn't tell whether it was a civil official or a military general, and saw this person lying in the middle of the road, crying and excited:

"Xiaguan Fangling is too guarded by Kuaiqi, it is too late to help the war, please punish the general."

The army suddenly stopped, and Lu Bu, who was thinking about retreating from the enemy in the Chinese army, pressed his horse's head and asked, "Why did you stop?" ”

"Lord, Fang Ling is too guarded by Kuaiqi in the middle of the road, blocking the way. was crying in front, General Yan Yan didn't know what to do, and sent someone to ask the lord to decide. ”

"......" This Kuai Qi is also shameless, Lu Bu is preparing to use the Bingfang Mausoleum, and Kuai Qi actually came to ask for surrender with light clothing?
