Chapter 468: Xiangyang Turmoil

Sorry for the late update today. There is a delay. It's going to be a stable update right away.,In order to compensate for the delay last month.,I'm ready to explode.,Is the monthly pass ready?

"Report! Cao Cao's old illness relapsed and died violently in front of the battle, and the general of the town army escorted the important minions of Yecheng to return to the camp halfway. ”

When Lu Bu heard the soldier's report, Mr. was incredulous, and then the excitement in his heart spread uncontrollably, even if he took the lead in careful planning, he still didn't have much hope for capturing Cao Cao.

"The order went down, Zang Ba was promoted to the general of the expedition to the east, and ordered the Xuzhou Assassin History, Qingzhou Assassin History, and sit in Mount Tai to clean up the Cao camp in Qingxu Erzhou to rebel against the thieves. Let's go! ”

"Whoa! The end will definitely live up to the high expectations of the lord! Zang Ba was ecstatic, and he may not be able to rise to the general of Zhengdong, Zhang Liao, the commander of the front-line battlefield alone, Wei Yan killed from the north to the south, Huang Zhong, Lu Meng, and Yan Yan charged into battle, and the generals captured the flag, and the credit was greater.

"The rest of the soldiers have been promoted, from now on, a big celebration banquet, flowing water banquet for half a month, big and small generals will all appreciate their merits." Lu Bu laughed arrogantly.

"The lord must not be arrogant, although he defeated Cao Cao, but Jizhou was not defeated, Cao Cao's son Cao Pi Cao Zhi should not be underestimated. The feast of celebration does not last for half a month! Now Chang'an is empty, food is insufficient, if it is extravagant and wasted for half a month, how can you get food and grass to live? Xu Shu's eyebrows tightened, hoping that Lu Bu would take back his life.

Lu Xun saw through what Lu Bu thought, got up and said with a smile: "What Mr. said is good, the world is not yet peaceful, and food and salary must be used in a planned way and must not be wasted." But the newly defeated Cao Cao was at a time when morale was high, and the half-moon celebration banquet was inevitable. Hebei Jizhou just met a fiasco, the dragons were leaderless, Cao Zhi and Cao Pi fought for power, and the people's hearts were turbulent. ”

Frustrated first looked at Lu Xun, and then looked at Lu Bu, who nodded in approval of Lu Xun's suggestion, and persuaded him: "I don't think this plan is good." Why don't the generals look back at the brothers of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang in the past? Hebei has a large population and abundant food, if the general drives his troops to fight, the two brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi must feel the catastrophe, and the two must join forces. If the general withdrew the Henan soldiers and horses, leaving only General Zang Ba with a song of troops, the Cao brothers would be able to feel that the strong enemy had retreated, and the two would fight for who would dominate Jizhou. ”

Lu Bu thought about it, and frustrated his suggestion was very good, Cao Pi led his troops to fight against Zhang Liao outside, and the military power was re-grasped. And Cao Zhi sits in Yecheng, in order to seize the initiative in order to fight for the sovereignty of Jizhou, the two brothers will not turn their hostility into jade silk in order to protect themselves, and they will definitely fight.

Before Lu Bu could speak, Jia Xu suggested: "What the public says is reasonable. But the celebration banquet is still needed, and I feel that the half-moon period is too short, and the general should celebrate January when he exterminated the giant thief Cao Cao. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the army to reach Xiangyang in half a month. ”

"Well, there is great goodness in what you have to say." Lu Bu applauded and laughed, and there were many strategists under his tent, and he didn't need to rack his brains to plan the strategic route. LĂź Bu decided to adopt Jia Xu's suggestion, and on the pretext of the celebration banquet, he suddenly attacked Xiangyang and leveled Jiangdong in one fell swoop.

"Do you have any objections?" Lu Bu asked, looking around.

"No objections."

"Immediately sent an order to Lu Lingqi to raise grain and grass, siege equipment, and strengthen Fancheng for the vanguard, and escort our army south. Mobilize the first line of Zhangliao in Henan, evacuate all the soldiers and horses, and Zhang Liao as the main general Lu Meng as the deputy general Jia Xu as the army division to attack the south and crusade against Jiangdong. ”

The Chang'an army stopped in Xiangcheng to eat at the sea day and day, singing night and night, a joyful atmosphere, on the grounds of celebration, a large amount of grain and grass was transported out of Wuguan, and Zhang Liao also secretly dispatched troops to march south.

All parties have been paying attention to the battle of LĂź Cao Xiangcheng, when Cao Cao died, Zhou Yu sent a large number of spies, learned that LĂź Bu was stranded in Xiangcheng on the grounds of a celebration banquet, and the army of Chang'an in Xiangcheng marched north, Zhou Yu thought that LĂź Bu was going to attack Jizhou and sweep the entire north, and felt that time was running out, and stepped up to fight for Xiangyang with the Jingnan army.

Zhou Yu never thought that he had been trapped and died in Anzhong by Cao's army, and Lu Lingqi was actively raising grain and grass in the place where he had no way to advance or retreat, and Lu Bu also dispatched Zhang Liao further north to be the vanguard of the south, but Lu Bu's army and horses went north instead, and the fog covered Zhou Yu's eyes.

On this day, Gao Shun, Pang De, and Huang Zhong finally returned to the camp with Cao Cao's coffin.

Xun You wore a white cloth on his head and leaned on the coffin and wept bitterly. This is the second time that Lu Bu has a large number of Xun You at close range, and the first time is when he is downstairs at the White Gate, at this time, Xun You is no longer as radiant as before.

"Xun Gong is unharmed."

"Why does Gong Lu insult me? In the past, I was the host, and you were a prisoner, but today's identities are reversed, and if you want to kill, you have to scrape and listen to the honor. Xun You only lay on the coffin and did not raise his head.

"If you don't fall, you go." Lu Bu said very simply, Xun Yu raised his head differently, his eyes full of disbelief.

"You dare to let me go?"

"Gongtai said in the past, Chen Gongtai is late, but Gongtai alone blocks Cao Ying's strategists, if I listen to his words, how can I break Xuzhou? Gongzhicai is far inferior to Mr. Gongtai, so why are you afraid of letting you go? Someone came to loosen the tie. ”

Lu Bu sent people to loosen Xun You's binding, and sent soldiers to throw him out of the camp and ignore it.

"Why did the lord let the tiger return to the mountain? Xun Youzhi's talent is not under me. Xu Shu reproached.

"Jizhou soldiers and horses are all in the hands of Cao Pi, Cao Zhi has Yecheng and no soldiers, it is difficult to be Cao Pi's opponent, if Cao Ren falls to Cao Pi, Cao Zhi's defeat is only in an instant. And Xun Yu's uncle and nephew are loyal to the Han family, the Son of Heaven is in Yecheng, Xun You must return to Yecheng to protect the Son of Heaven. It was precisely because Xun You was talented that I let him go back to Yecheng to help Cao Zhi. Lu Bu pointed to Cao Cao's coffin: "Cao Cao is dead, and letting Xun Yu return to Yecheng may not be the return of the tiger to the mountain." ”

"The lord is far-sighted." Xu Shu arched his hand and said.

"Open the coffin."

The coffin opened, a foul smell reached the nose, and Cao Cao's body in the coffin had begun to decompose, and it could barely be seen that Cao Cao was arrogant in the past, and Lu Bu sighed. Seeing Cao Cao's corpse, he did not have a sense of accomplishment, but was sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, maybe that day, he would lie in the coffin like Cao Cao and slowly decay.

"Five miles north of the city, Cao Cao is buried."

Lu Bu did not cut off Cao Cao's body and sent it to Yecheng to invite merit, Cao Cao is a respectable opponent, if it weren't for Lu Bu's memory of later generations, how could he be Cao Cao's opponent, and today I am afraid that even a pile of white bones is difficult to find.

Xiangyang.

The Xiangyang family and the Liu family brothers, Jingnan Guan Yu, and the Jiangdong army have always been safe and sound, and Guan Yu, a fierce general, has also been suppressing the Jiangdong generals and guarding the west gate.

Although Zhou Yu always hoped to occupy the entire Xiangyang, all his attention was attracted by the decisive battle of Xiangcheng, and he did not put all the forces of Jiangdong into the battle for Xiangyang. In the past few months that Guan Yu has been in Xicheng, the interpersonal relationship with the local family in Xiangyang has seriously deteriorated, and under the co-optation and deliberate instigation of Lu Su, the Xiangyang family has basically fallen to the Jiangdong Army except for Liu Qi.

Lu Su is talented, but he can only protect the land, not open up the territory, with Lu Su here, Jiangdong is worry-free. Lu Su is good at diplomacy, while Guan Yu is arrogant and difficult to get along with, and the Xiangyang family is afraid that Lu Bu will invade and annex in the south, and under the persuasion of Lu Su, they have joined Jiangdong.

Lu Bu wanted to unify the north, and Zhou Yu ordered troops to knock on the west gate overnight when he was in a hurry.

The soldiers approached the city, on the edge of the trenches, Guan Yu was dressed in a green robe and green armor, holding a war knife, straddled on horseback, his phoenix eyes were like cold mangs, his face was frosty, his palms tightened the Qinglong Yanyue knife, he disdained to go out of the battle and scolded, and shouted coldly: "Kill!" ”

Five hundred school swordsmen were on standby, crossed the flying board, and rushed straight to the Jiangdong Army's main array. The infantry of the two sides collided, and for a while, people turned on their backs, Guan Yu waved the glaive sword, and the green mangs were a piece of green, and when he met the gods and killed the gods, he despised all the momentum spontaneously, and in the blink of an eye, the Jiangdong battle array was torn open a huge gap, and five hundred school swordsmen rushed in.

Guan Yu was fearless, and the soldiers he trained were also fearless of everything, the school knife hand was like entering no man's land for a while, and he rushed down strongly, the Jiangdong infantry was crushed at the touch of a button, and Guan Yu led the school knife hand to go on a rampage.

Even if the Jiangdong army was numerous, it was a rout, and no one could be Guan Yu's general for a while. Guan Yu broke three formations in a row and beheaded six people. The Jiangdong army was unable to block Guan Yu's charge head-on, coupled with the archers and spearmen who followed him into the position, the Jiangdong army was killed and retreated, and Zhou Yu was shocked.

Zhou Yu finally knew why Guan Yu was only a few thousand people who could drag Ximen in his hands, the Jiangdong army could not attack for a long time, Guan Yu was a fierce general, needless to say, no one was invincible, even the ground school swordsman behind him integrated attack and defense, and the legendary heavy armored infantry under the command of Lu Bu did not give much, but it was much more flexible than the heavy armored infantry. This kind of army is completely invincible in the world, and fortunately, Guan Yu only has five hundred people.

Zhou Yu could no longer care about the loss of his troops, so where the flag was waved, Zhou Tai rushed out of the formation with a knife to intercept Guan Yu's attack.

Zhou Tai has never fought with Guan Yu, and although Guan Yu is famous, he is far from being Lu Bu's opponent, Zhou Tai has seen Lu Bu shoot, thinking that the gap between the two is not big, seeing Guan Yu approaching, Zhou Tai has a high fighting spirit and rushes sideways.

Zhou Tai knew that Guan Yu was strong in martial arts, and he didn't dare to fight in the north and south, so he made up his mind that as long as he found that he was not Guan Yu's opponent, he would retreat immediately.

"Hey-ha!"

The moment the two approached, Zhou Tai shouted, used all his strength, and cut off the big knife on the head. Guan Yu just snorted coldly, his half-squinted Danfeng eyes only widened slightly, the glaive knife cut out the half-moon, and the green mang flashed under Zhou Tai's knife, and with a bang, he struck Zhou Taidi with all his might.

Guan Yu didn't shake, but Zhou Tai was shocked and took two steps back, and his face turned red. With this move alone, Zhou Tai had already retreated, and without waiting for Zhou Tai's reaction, Guan Yu's wrist flipped over, not giving Zhou Tai any chance to kick, and the Glaive Knife dragged out a long and faint phantom.

Before Zhou Tai could react, he suddenly felt a coldness in his waist, yelled that it was not good, hurriedly twisted his waist, and fell to the side.

"Hugh is going to be pregnant with General Zhou's life, and Jiang Qin is coming!"

Just when Guan Yu's hand was up and down, and he was about to understand a general in Jiangdong, a strong force from the glaive knife in his hand was fixed in the air, Guan Yu fixed his eyes, and a sharp long hook firmly stuck the blade of the knife, and it was not allowed to be handed out.

"Look for death!" Guan Yu's eyes were angry, his long beard fluttered without wind, and his waist exerted force, and the huge force almost wanted to make Jiang Qin's long hook get out of his hand.
