In Nanyang County, Hu Cheer led 40,000 troops to operate in the area of Nanjun. While organizing soldiers www.biquge.info and horses to prepare for the north, Lü Meng told Sun Quan that the king of Pengcheng had the intention of going south. After Sun Quan received the news, he sent an envoy to Xuzhou, and the envoy arrived in Xuzhou, and Tao Ying received the envoy in his busy schedule. The envoy tactfully inquired about the king of Pengcheng's opinion on the Son of Heaven and Sun Quan's opinion on the occupation of Northern Jingzhou.

The envoy knew that Tao Ying hated Zhang Fei, so Sun Quan offered Zhang Fei's head to Tao Ying in order to curry favor with Tao Ying. Hearing about the fall of a generation of heroes Zhang Fei, Tao Ying couldn't believe it for a while. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei was killed by Sun Quan instead of his second brother, Tao Ying knew Guan Yu's bravery, and collected Zhang Fei's head, which did no good!

So Tao Ying left Sun Quan's envoy in Pengcheng, and then asked Zhang Fei's head to be served with nanmu and then sent to Liu Bei in Changsha County with ice. The envoy rode towards Changsha day and night, and when the envoy arrived in Changsha, Wei Yangang returned from the Wuling Tomb. After nearly half a year of fighting, Wei Yan, under the advice of Kuai Yue and other strategists, fought five battles with Zhang Yun and Cai Mao.

Wei Yan fought Cai Mao, and Cai Mao bullied Wei Yan as an unknown young general, so he was captured by Wei Yan's general Wen Ping in the Battle of Hutou Mountain. Seeing that Cai Mao was arrested in five battles and five defeats, Cai Mao's brother Cai He and others had to persuade Liu Cong to surrender to Nanjingzhou.

When Wei Yan led his troops from Hutou Mountain to Ruanling, Liu Cong opened the city gate and surrendered, Wei Yan accepted Liu Cong's surrender, ordered Zhang Yun to guard Wuling County, and took Liu Cong, the king of Wuling, hostage and returned to Linxiang City, Changsha County.

After capturing Wuling and stabilizing the four counties of Jingnan, Wei Yan sent an envoy to Pengcheng to report the victory. As soon as the envoy left, Peng Cheng's envoy sent Zhang Fei's head to Linxiang. When Liu Bei heard that Zhang Fei was killed by Lu Meng, he fainted in a fit of rage.

By the time Liu Bei woke up, it was already the evening of the next day. The evening in Linxiang was a little cold, and the sunset made this person feel even more desolate. Liu Bei woke up, his lord pottery merchant was guarding him, and a group of staff members who had been following him from Xuzhou were all around, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and so on were all guarding him. Liu Bei hurriedly got up and saluted the potter, who asked him to lie down.

Liu Bei looked around and saw that there was no Guan Yu, and hurriedly asked where Guan Yu went? Sun Gan said on the side that Guan Yu had gone to Linxiang to beg Wei Yan to send troops to avenge Zhang Fei. Liu Bei suddenly felt a sense of sadness, he had wandered around for so many years, but now he had reached such a field. Struggling to get up from the bed, Liu Bei rushed to the Changsha Mansion with the support of everyone, and Guan Yu was coming out of the Mansion.

Seeing that it was Liu Bei, Guan Yu ran over with an excited face and said, "Big brother, are you awake?" ”

Liu Bei held Guan Yu's hand, and Guan Yu held a tiger talisman in his hand. Liu Bei was a little surprised, how could Wei Yan give himself soldiers and horses? came to vote for Wei Yan himself, Wei Yan has always regarded himself as an outsider, and never refused to let go of soldiers and horses for himself! Seeing that Liu Bei was a little puzzled, Guan Yu hurriedly said: "Big brother, I begged the prefect of Wei, but the prefect said that Jingnan was weak and did not dare to fight with Sun Quan, so he refused to send troops. But today, the envoy of Pengcheng came, I wanted to go to Pengcheng to ask the king of Pengcheng, and I borrowed some soldiers and horses to take revenge on the sake of saving him, but I didn't think that the messenger would give me a tiger talisman, and I learned that the king of Pengcheng was afraid that the prefect of Wei would be embarrassed and specially gave me a soldier and horse to take revenge! ”

Liu Bei didn't believe it even more, how shrewd King Pengcheng was, how could he give him soldiers and horses casually? Under the questioning of Liu Bei and others, Guan Yu had to tell the truth. It turned out that in order to take revenge, he made a deal with the king of Pengcheng, and the envoy of Pengcheng came all the way to make this deal for him. Peng Cheng said to Tao Ying that Guan Yu was kind to him at the beginning, and today was the time to repay the favor, so he gave Guan Yu 10,000 soldiers and horses to go to take revenge. However, the precondition is that Guan Yu must accept Tao Ying's appointment, and after capturing Jingbei and capturing the enemy Pan Zhang, he must take up the post of prefect of Jingbei.

His brother did not hold an important position, Guan Yu was naturally unwilling, so Guan Yu followed the envoy as a potter and Liu Bei. Tao Shang and Liu Bei have been made such big officials by the Son of Heaven, how dare Tao take them in. But in desperation, he could only agree to let the pottery merchant and Liu Bei rush to Pengcheng with Liu Cong to take up his post, and let Sun Qian, Jian Yong, and Mi Zhu assist Guan Yu to serve in Jingbei.

In order to allow Guan Yu to capture Jingbei and to train a new generation of successors, Tao Ying even transferred Lu Xun, the prefect of Jiangnan Prefecture, and congratulated the Qi Tianying Army to come to Jingbei to help. After Lu Xun left, Tao Ying transferred Chen Gong to take over as the prefect of Jiangnan Mansion. After Guan Yu compromised, the envoy gave him the letter of appointment and the tiger talisman to him. After getting the Tiger Talisman, Guan Yu prepared to go to Wei Yan to ask for soldiers, and after Wei Yan saw Tao Ying's instructions, he had to allocate 10,000 soldiers and horses to him.

Wei Yan was afraid that Guan Yu would be unreliable, so he transferred Kuai Liang and Wang Wei to guard Wuling County, and asked Guan Yu to lead the people of Jingbei to attack Jingbei. So after nearly a month of adjustment, Guan Yu reorganized Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's sailors, and Zhang Fei's old generals Fan Zhuang and Zhang Da also led the horses to join Guan Yu, and within a month, Guan Yu reorganized nearly 10,000 military horses.

After Guan Yu's army and horses were reorganized, Wei Yan was afraid that Guan Yu would take the opportunity to seize Jingnan, so he hurriedly sent Liu Bei, Liu Cong and pottery merchants to Pengcheng to take office, and specially sent the general Liu Pan to protect the three of them to Pengcheng. After the three of them left, Wei Yan quietly released the news again, leaking the walking route of the three of them, and also leaking the news that Guan Yu was going to go north to Jingbei.

After Guan Yu's soldiers and horses were integrated, Wei Yan cut off Lingyang City in Wuling County for Guan Yu to station. Guan Yu wanted to go north to attack Lü Meng, but Sun Qian persuaded: "Lord, our army only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, Lü Meng occupies the north and has nearly 60,000 troops, and Lü Meng has thousands of warships, how can our army cross the river!" ”

Guan Yu was eager for revenge, and he had to go on a northern expedition, Cai Maojin said that it was better to wait for Lu Xun from Jiangnan Mansion to come, Lu Xun had served in Jiangnan Mansion for many years, and built a Lu family army in Jiangnan Mansion, with strong combat effectiveness, and I heard that Lu Xun also brought three of the most advanced warships when he came, which was enough to deal with Lu Meng. Zhang Yun also said that it was better to wait for Lu Xun to come next year, let Lu Xun drag Lu Meng's sailors, and then Guan Yu bypassed the Yangtze River and attacked Nanjun, which is the best policy.

Guan Yu wavered, Jian Yong said that the family wanted to defeat Sun Quan, so it was better to send an envoy north to lobby Zhang Xiu, let Zhang Xiu's army go south, and then go to make peace with Ma Chao, and then promise to divide Nanjun into several cities for the two, and they will definitely be able to capture Nanjun!

Guan Yu was helpless, because the soldiers and horses were not strong, so Guan Yu had to order to build warships, train soldiers, and wait for the soldiers and horses to prepare grain and grass before going north to attack Nanjun. After Guan Yu was stationed, he recruited troops everywhere, Sun Qian and others helped manage government affairs, and soon Guan Yu won the hearts of the people in the Lingyang generation, and the number of people who came to join him began to increase.
