Liu Yi would not be surprised that Cao Cao kept sending fine workers to infiltrate the Jingzhou area to carry out some sabotage. Seriously, it would be strange if the princely forces that were in a hostile position with the New Han Dynasty did not make a small move.

Liu Yi summed up this situation as an espionage act of enemy infiltration and sabotage.

Since the establishment of the New Han Dynasty, especially after the establishment of the intelligence network in charge of Yin Xiao, Huang Zheng, Wu Yang and others, the New Han Dynasty began to infiltrate other forces in order to spy on or steal important information from the other side. And set up a number of secret contact points within the power of other princes. Therefore, on the other hand, there will definitely be other princes who will send detailed works to assassinate all kinds of intelligence within their own forces, and even carry out some destructive actions.

So, according to Lew, these are normal things.

Liu Yi never thought that after reaching some agreement with Cao Cao, Cao Cao would really keep to himself, if it weren't for Cao Cao's lack of strength to call out the New Han Dynasty, Liu Yi believed that he would have used troops against the New Han Dynasty a long time ago.

The Xiangjiang River and the Yangtze River in the Jingzhou region are equivalent to the Yellow River to the north of Cao Cao's sphere of influence, and were the main line of defense of the New Han Dynasty, and naturally the main line of defense of Cao Cao. The Yellow River in the north, relatively speaking, Cao Cao has been operating for many years, and the layout of the defense has been very perfect, but the same long Yangtze River defense line has become Cao Cao's weak defense line. Judging from the current situation, the New Han Army can indeed send a large army into the eastern region of Jingzhou and Runan in Yuzhou at any time. And Cao Cao doesn't have much to do about this situation.

In this way, Cao Cao is now, after a period of quiet development. The Yangtze River defense line will definitely be reinforced with troops and some fortifications will be built. These are all inevitable. Even if. It is not surprising that some small groups of Cao troops attacked the New Han army along the river from time to time. Just don't make a big deal out of it. Even, turn into some bandits, so that the New Han Dynasty will not declare war on Cao Cao immediately.

Therefore, Liu Yi didn't think that there would be any big problems with Cao Cao's non-stop small actions now.

Liu Yi also expected these problems early, otherwise, it would not have been shortly after the establishment of the New Han Dynasty. In particular, what about strict protection of civil servants in some places? The soldiers of the magistrates, who were not only responsible for guarding the local towns, but also protecting their superior officials, and under normal circumstances, did not give the opportunity for some Assassins to assassinate the magistrates.

In addition, the local guards, which are not included in the establishment of government soldiers and are equivalent to the militia, are also a deterrent and monitoring of some elaborate spies. Keep their event space as small as possible.

Leo listened to Yi Yi talk about this. He didn't have to be too nervous.

By noon, Guan Yu had really come to Jiangling City from Xiangyang.

When brothers meet, they are naturally happy.

After a greeting, Liu Yi talked to Guan Yu alone.

The same. Liu Yi told Guan Yu that Liu Bei was not dead and was now the governor of the three armies in Yizhou.

After Guan Yu listened, he had the same look as Zhang Fei at the beginning. They all had complicated expressions and were silent for a while.

But. He was much calmer than Zhang Fei.

He didn't even say much, just said calmly to Liu Yi: "Brother Liu Yi." In Guan's heart, the eldest brother whom Guan respected had already died. In fact, when he was in Xuzhou, he attacked and killed you without telling Guan and his third brother, and almost let Guan and his third brother kill you by mistake. From that time on, Guan already knew that Guan's eldest brother had changed. It's just that...... Guan and him, after all, are righteous brothers, at that time, Guan was still concerned about his feelings, hesitated in his heart, and couldn't leave him. Later, a lot of things happened, which slowly made Guan even more cold. Brothers plot against each other, and there is no longer trust. Guan asked himself that he had done his best, and he was worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of his conscience. Nor is it contrary to justice and morality. Therefore, now, even if he is not dead, he has nothing to do with Guan Mou. If we talk about relationships, he reneged on our original oath, and betrayed the loyalty that he should have as a Han person, and actually colluded with other races with the intention of harming the Han people. Such a person, Guan was ashamed to see him, he ...... is no longer worthy of being Guan's eldest brother, and is no longer worthy of Guan's respect. On the other day, if we meet on the battlefield, Guan will definitely cut off his head, and he will not make a mistake! ”

"Good! is worthy of being the second brother Guan who is loyal and courageous, and has clear grievances! Then, if it's superfluous, I don't bother to tell you about it. Anyway, if Second Brother Guan really meets Liu Bei, when the time comes, what will happen to you, I, Liu Yi, will definitely not ask. Everything, let the second brother make your own decisions. Lewi made a promise.

Guan Yu has clear grievances, and Liu Yi does not doubt that he will really kill Liu Bei on the battlefield. Guan Yu in history could let Cao Cao go on Huarong Road, but in this life, Liu Yi would not think that Guan Yu would let Liu Bei go.

If history repeats itself, Guan Yu may still let Cao Cao go, but he will definitely not let Liu Bei go. Because, in this, it is no longer a matter of personal grievances, but a matter of national integrity. Cao Cao, no matter what, did not betray the Han and did not collude with foreigners to harm the Han people. Cao Cao is an enemy, but he is a respectable enemy. In addition, there is a little personal grudge with Cao Cao, so Guan Yu will not kill Cao Cao. But Liu Bei is indeed as Guan Yu said. In Guan's life, he no longer owes Liu Bei anything, and when he meets again, he is an enemy and an enemy of the nation.

"Don't talk about him......" Guan Yu said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Now, Guan plans to mobilize more troops to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, but he is worried that Cao Cao will enter and seize my Jingzhou." Brother Lewy, what is your opinion on this? ”

Liu Yi originally didn't want to pay too much attention to it, and left all the decisions to Guan Yu to make decisions by himself, but now that he asked, he thought about it before he said, "Before you came, Mr. Yi Yi had already told me some about Jingzhou and Cao Cao. It is estimated that Cao Cao must be alert to your actions, second brother. Therefore, if you draw troops and horses to attack Hanzhong, Cao Cao must know about the weak troops in Jingzhou along the Xiangjiang River and the Yangtze River. ”

"Well, that's the question. Guan also thought about it, so. During this period of time, Guan Mou did not dare to send troops for a long time. Guan Yu felt the same way. He was a little embarrassed to explain: "Since the imperial court sent officials to assist Guan in governing Jingzhou, a series of changes, the Jingzhou area has stabilized, all walks of life seem to be more prosperous than before, and the people everywhere have also shown enthusiastic support for our government and burst out with surprising enthusiasm for labor." Therefore, Guan really can't bear to see the people of Jingzhou who just have a hope for a better life. It will suddenly be invaded and destroyed by Cao's army. In this way, subconsciously, I will always worry that Cao Jun will suddenly enter our Jingzhou, and I will always think of keeping Jingzhou in my heart. Don't dare to make Jingzhou's troops empty. ”

Liu Yi was stunned, and suddenly realized in his heart that Guan Yu had hundreds of thousands of troops and horses in Jingzhou, and the most important reason why he had not sent troops to Hanzhong for a long time. I can't help but laugh in my heart, and think about it again, Guan Yu in history. It wasn't when he learned that Cao Cao waved his army to attack, but he desperately resisted the enemy Cao army with a force far smaller than Cao's army, and played a majestic style. Megatron China, the limelight for a while.

Lewi remembers, historically. After Guan Yu and many other generals such as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang entered Sichuan, he only led Zhou Cang, Guan Ping, Liao Hua and other generals to guard Jingzhou. Then. Hearing that Liu Bei and a group of generals had entered Sichuan, Sun Quan wanted to recapture Jingzhou. Send Lü Meng, Gan Ning and others to prepare to cross the river. After Guan Yu learned about it, he led 5,000 to 30,000 and Sun Quan's army across the river, so that Sun Quan's military action was not successful, and then Liu Bei sent people to negotiate peace, and agreed to divide Jingzhou equally, that is, Jiangxia County, Changsha County, and Guiyang County in Jingzhou belonged to Sun Quan, and Nan County, Lingling County, and Wuling County in Jingzhou belonged to Liu Bei, which was the famous Xiangshui demarcation in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

After two or three years, Cao Cao sent his generals Jiangxia Taishou Wenpin and Le Jin to attack and find the mouth, Guan Yu led the army to repel Wen Ping and Le Jin, and took advantage of the victory to send a partial general to lead the army to the north, killing a lot of people. In the same year, Cao Ren was sent as the general of the expedition to the south, and the army was stationed in the area of Nanyang, Xiangfan, but was besieged by Guan Yu and the army.

In this battle, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and killed the general of the Cao Army, Pang De, in front of the battle, which made Guan Yusheng powerful in China.

Guan Yu used weaker troops to deal with Sun Quan and Cao Cao's army respectively, trying to protect his own power territory, but he didn't want the enemy army to enter his territory and harm the people.

In fact, Liu Yi thought of the death of Guan Yu in history, and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, who killed himself in Wujiang, which was somewhat similar. Many times, Liu Yi doubted that with Guan Yu's martial arts and the red rabbit horse that stepped down, if he knew that he was not defeated by Cao and Sun Dajun, he would leave, who would be able to stop him? He could have given up holding Jingzhou, seeing that he couldn't do anything, and withdrew his troops into Yizhou or Hanzhong as soon as possible, so how could he lose Maicheng?

Thinking about it now, Guan Yu was estimated to be like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, who had no face to see Jiangdong's father, Guan Yu also felt that because he couldn't keep the people of Jingzhou peaceful, he had no shame to go to Sichuan to see his brother, so he would rather die than flee back to Yizhou alone.

When Liu Yi thought of this question, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, because such a situation could not be repeated in this life.

So he said to Guan Yu: "Second brother, you are too worried." Cao Cao now, it is impossible for him to dare to openly attack our territory of influence. Don't look at Cao Cao's small actions now, but these are just manifestations of his weak heart. He should want to make some moves to warn us that they are not afraid of our new Han Dynasty and dare to go toe-to-toe with us. What it actually means is that we are afraid that we will attack them. So, for this conjecture, you can rest assured. If the second brother is not at ease, or he can do this, he can transfer a Jingzhou naval army and camp on the Xiangjiang River, so that he can suppress the Cao army and make their military horses dare not cross the river to invade us. In addition, when we mobilize military horses, we can be more bold and generous, and we don't have to worry about Cao Jun. Hehe, actually, what we are more afraid of now is that they dare not attack us. Otherwise, we are afraid that we will not be able to find an excuse to tear up the agreement with Cao Cao and recover the Central Plains in the future. ”

After Guan Yu heard this, he took a deep sink, and then Danfeng's eyes glared, a smile appeared on his lips, and he immediately figured out the key to it.

"Good! Then Guan went all out with General Wei Yan to crusade against Zhang Lu in Hanzhong! ”

"Well, it should be like this, whether Yizhou can be recovered as soon as possible depends mainly on whether Hanzhong is captured." Leo Yi nodded.

"That'...... Brother Lewy, you ...... now"

Liu Yi knew what Guan Yu wanted to ask him, and said, "I have to rush to Dongting Lake Xinzhou immediately, and then set off for Qu'a and go to the sea to the South Sea." ”

Guan Yu didn't ask too much, because he also knew that Liu Yi had this plan, and he knew that Liu Yi would go to those places he had never heard of at this time, and there would definitely be important reasons for Liu Yi himself, so he didn't ask much.

After meeting Guan Yu, Liu Yi returned to Dongting Lake from Jiangling that afternoon.

In Dongting Lake Xinzhou, Liu Yi met with Huang Zhong and his son again, and asked them to lead the army into the southwest of Lingling and Wuling, rectify the military horses of the Li Yao tribe and other tribes, and see the opportunity to enter the southwest and recover the Yunnan-Guizhou region.

After staying at Dongting Lake for two or three days, Liu Yi took the girls and officially set off to Qu'a.

At this time, the war between Yizhou and Hanzhong was about to break out.

When he was in Badong City, Liu Yi had already told Zhang Fei and Yan Yan, Liu Ba, Huang Zu, Long Ge and others about some things about the barbarian army, and especially reminded them that among the Southern Barbarian army, there was a special type of rattan armor soldiers, and when they encountered these rattan armor soldiers, they had to deal with them carefully.

However, the New Han Army still suffered a little loss in the vine armor soldiers.

This, mainly the Yizhou army and the Nanban army, went straight down the turbulent river along the Yangtze River. The interception measures arranged by Zhang Fei and others on the river failed to stop the attack of the Yizhou army.

This battle on the river made Zhang Fei and the other generals really see the power of the barbarian army's vine armor soldiers.

Those rattan armor soldiers actually jumped directly into the river, and they did not sink on the surface of the river, as if they were stepping on the ground, and killed directly from the river. They sank the ships of the New Han Army in Badong City and killed them directly ashore, and ordinary soldiers of the New Han Army, even if they were armed with sophisticated New Han Army standard weapons, could not break through the special rattan armor on the rattan armor soldiers.

Those rattan armor seemed to be elastic, and the soldier's weapon was directly bounced off the rattan armor, and it was difficult to directly injure them.

In this way, the New Han army actually lost thousands of military horses and had to withdraw into Badong City, and confronted the Yizhou and Nanban coalition forces that had been killed.

That, Liu Yi also told them, to deal with those rattan armor soldiers, or the best way is to attack with fire. However, in this light, it is unlikely that the fire attack will be impossible, because those vine armor soldiers will tread water, and even if the rocket is fired on their bodies, they will be directly flooded with water.

As a last resort, Zhang Fei followed Liu Ba's advice and withdrew into Badong City first. (To be continued......)
