Chapter 10: The Gathering of Storms

Gangneung is a large city with high walls and strong walls, and it will inevitably cost a lot of money to attack it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info//Update fast//Book mi group 4∴8065

The defenders at the head of the city were densely packed, and the city was closed on all sides, while outside the city, there was a posture of a large army approaching the city.

Inside the city

Cao Ren stared blankly at Cao Cào's caravan corpse, stunned and shocked, tears pouring down.

Man Pet stared at Cao Cào's corpse in disbelief as well.

No way!

The king of Wei led 300,000 troops to conquer Jiangxia, and in a few days, the 300,000 army was annihilated, and even the king of Wei himself only had a corpse back, and it was sent by Guo Jia outside the city.

The corpse, not a fake.

Cao Ren gritted his teeth and roared, and immediately turned around and walked out, wanting to fight Guo Jia to the death.

Hearing Cao Ren's hateful roar, Man Chong immediately came back to his senses, sped up two steps and ran in front of Cao Ren, blocking his way.

"General, don't act impulsively."

Cao Ren, who was immersed in grief, stared at his blood-red eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to avenge King Wei, is this an impulse?" ”

Man Zhong avoided Cao Ren's angry and hateful eyes, and said astringently: "General, if you go out of the city to fight at this moment, won't you be in Guo Jia's arms?" If Jiangling is lost, all the 100,000 soldiers and horses in the city will be folded here, think about it, Guo Jia waved his army north, can the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Wancheng stop it? General Zhang is in a desperate situation in Luoyang! When the time comes, Jingzhou will be lost, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and even Qingzhou may be lost together. And in Yecheng, Hebei, how many soldiers and horses are there? The foundation of King Wei Rongma's lifelong hard work is complete! ”

Cao Ren sat on the ground, hugging his head and crying.

Full of pet's eyes moistened, kneeling down, hands clenched into fists, full of unwillingness and hatred.

Three days ago, Shangyong New Town was captured by Wu Yi and Wu Ban under Guo Jia, and when the news came, Cao Cào had already camped in Wulin to confront Chibi across the bank.

At that time, Manzhong didn't take it to heart, Wu Yi and Wu Ban added up to 50,000 soldiers and horses, and it was impossible to make a fortune, Wancheng had Cao Zhen's 50,000 troops, and Hanzhong was empty, Wu Yi and Wu Ban could not lead the army deep into Jingzhou, even if they unexpectedly continued to advance eastward, Jiangling had Cao Ren's 100,000 soldiers and horses, so why be afraid?

But now, the situation has taken a sharp turn!

Guo Jia did not storm Luoyang, and he suddenly realized that he was full of favors.

Cao Càoyou Guo Jia's decisive battle in the north was a disguise, the main force that dragged Guo Jia, and Guo Jia cooperated very well with Cao Cào and gave Cao Cào the situation he wanted the most.

In terms of troops, most of Guo Jia's soldiers and horses were still in the north, but he only transferred fewer but more sharp soldiers and horses back to Yizhou, and when Cao Cào led his army east into Jiangxia, he decisively sent troops to attack.

How Cao Cào was defeated, Man Pet doesn't know, and he can't imagine it.

Especially outside the city, Jiang Dong and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were not seen, which made Cao Cào's defeat even more confusing.

If Guo Jia and Jiangdong were to flank Cao Cào together, it would not be possible for Guo Jia to be the only soldier outside the city now.

Cao Ren wiped away his tears, grabbed Manzhong's arm, and asked, "So what now?" ”

In the war, Cao Ren asked himself if it was okay, but he was obviously not good at overall strategic planning.

The current situation is very likely that the Cao Wei regime will fall apart in an instant, and how to stop Guo Jia is a top priority.

Full of pets, his mind was in a hurry, but he was flustered.

The place where he was most suspicious was why Guo Jia didn't go to Fancheng in the north of Jiangling!

Fancheng is empty, Guo Jia can bypass Jiangling and attack Fancheng directly, so that Jiangling will be isolated in Jingzhou, and it will be easy to go back and capture Jiangling with the Sun and Liu coalition forces when the time comes.

At this time, life and death are on the line, and a decision must be made.

After pondering for a long time, Man Zhong said to Cao Ren: "General, withdraw to Fancheng and take the Han River as a danger to defend it." ”

The heavy troops in the area of Sili in the north are obviously far away from Jiangling and close to Fancheng, and Fancheng cannot be without defensive forces, and dividing troops to defend it is equivalent to giving the enemy a chance to break through one by one, so it is better to abandon Jiangling and return directly to Fancheng to defend it.

The withdrawal of Fancheng can strengthen the connection with Wancheng and Luoyang, and can form a tight defensive line, while resisting attacks from both the west and the south.

As long as Fancheng is not broken, the Central Plains is still Cao Wei's.

However, Guo Jia's army only gathered outside the south of Gangneung, and did not besiege the city on all sides, nor did it siege the city.

Full of favor and deep fear, this is Guo Jia's enemy's strategy, that is, to let Cao Ren retreat to Fancheng, and set up an ambush on the road.

After thinking about it, Man Pet felt that there was no way out and could only take a risk.

Cao Ren followed Man's advice and planned to retreat from Gangneung North, letting Manzhong lead the footmen in front, and he himself led the tiger and leopard to ride behind.

Outside Gangneung City

Guo Jia rode on the horse facing the sunshine, not in a hurry or impatient.

He led his army to intercept and kill Cao Cào in Huarong Dao, and in order to prevent missing the opportunity, Zhou Tai Jiang Qin led an army of 50,000 troops to camp outside Jiangling in advance.

To the south outside the city, there is the Yangtze River, where at the beginning of the month, Cao Cào ordered 300,000 troops to march east into Jiangxia, but he was killed in a foreign country.

The army of 300,000 was wiped out, and now Cao Wei's foundation is on the verge of collapse.

Guo Ye rode a horse beside Guo Jia, slightly behind the position of a horse's head, he looked at the tight situation of Jiangling, and asked Guo Jia with some puzzlement: "Father, why don't you attack Fancheng?" Even if Cao Cào's corpse is exchanged for Cao Ren, Jiangling will have it at his fingertips. ”

The ancients paid attention to the fact that there is a whole corpse in the dead, and Cao Cào is dead, but if Guo Jia uses Cao Cào's corpse as a condition to negotiate with Cao Ren and let Cao Ren give away Jiangling, Cao Ren will most likely agree.

Guo Jia did not answer Guo Ye's question.

Using the corpses of dead people to make a fuss is immoral and will attract a lot of criticism from the outside world, but after all, it is a battlefield, even if Guo Jia does this, it is understandable.

As for fighting Jiangling instead of the empty Fancheng, Guo Jia had other plans.

Moreover, the Gangneung City in front of him, it won't be long before it will still be his, which he is very confident in.

The Taiping army was waiting outside the city, and there seemed to be no movement on the surface of Jiangling City, but inside the city, Cao Ren was already in full swing to arrange the withdrawal of the army.

There was a lot of smoke and dust in the east, and the sound of the army running and the sound of horses' hooves mingled.

Guo Jia turned his head to look, and a group of troops appeared in the distance, and a group of generals came on horseback.

"Ye'er, take a good look at these people, all the romantic people in the world are here."

Guo Jia turned his horse's head and said a word to Guo Ye first, and then rode his horse to Gan Ning's side and said in a low voice: "Pass the order, always be ready to meet the enemy." ”

Gan Ning received the order, and after passing the order, the Taiping army that was originally facing Jiangling City collectively turned right and faced the galloping army.

As he got closer to Jiangling City, the expression on Zhou Yu's face became heavier and heavier.

When he saw the sudden army flag outside the city, he was dumbfounded and shocked!

Not only him, but all the people around Jiangdong Jiangling and Liu Bei Group were all in disbelief.

Guo Jia!

It was as if it had fallen from heaven outside Gangneung Castle!

Whether it is Lu Su to Sun Quan, or Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, or Guo Jia's movements in the Battle of Chibi, they all guess that he will take the opportunity to send troops in the north to attack Luoyang, intending to sweep the Central Plains, and after the dust settles in the Central Plains, it is a feasible way to destroy Hebei first or go south first.

But on the contrary, Guo Jia appeared in Jingzhou!

Outside Jiangling City, the number of about 100,000 Taiping troops made Zhou Yu's face grim.

The sun was shining, but the warm weather in winter made Zhou Yu's heart cold.

The pace slowed down, Jiangdong's 50,000 soldiers and horses and Liu Bei's 20,000 soldiers and horses were gradually adjusted, and after the formation was orderly, the soldiers and horses of the two sides were less than a mile apart.

In front of Guo Jiace's horse formation, there was his son Guo Ye beside him, and behind him a cadre of military generals were all majestic, Gan Ning, Meng Da, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Zhang Ren, Zhang Yan, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin.

The eight generals looked at the Sun and Liu coalition forces opposite, solemnly and solemnly, ready to fight at any time.

The Sun and Liu coalition forces are Zhou Yu and Liu Bei at the front, and the camps behind the two are distinct.

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Lu Méng, and the three generals are behind Zhou Yu.

Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Chen Dao, four generals plus one Zhuge Liang behind Liu Bei.

The Taiping army and the Sun-Liu coalition formed a confrontation at this initial meeting.

On the way from Huarong Road to Jiangling, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were very worried.

A large number of Cao Bing's corpses at the exit of Huarong Road were obviously ambushed there, and they were unwilling to admit the tacit answer in their hearts.

It wasn't until outside Gangneung Castle that the speculation was confirmed, which made their hearts as cold as ice.

"Who's coming? Register your name. ”

Guo Jiawang looked at the scenery of the Yangtze River in the distance, and then the sky was often cloudy, and he looked relaxed and did not put the other party in his eyes.

When the loud voice came, Liu Bei first bowed his hand to Guo Jia's side, and said humbly: "Liu Bei, the general in the lower left, the word Xuande, has seen the envoy." ”

The posture is very low, and the tone is fairly normal.

Guo Jia had already guessed that the person who was a little old was Liu Bei, and a light smile rose at the corner of his mouth, ignoring Liu Bei.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei frowned, and Guo Jia ignored Liu Bei's posture, making them feel humiliated.

Zhou Yu's face was expressionless, holding the reins and holding a weapon, and he raised his chin and said loudly: "A certain is Zhou Yu, the word Gongjin." Be courteous. ”

Guo Jia looked at Zhou Yu from afar and replied loudly.

"Zhou Gongjin, come and talk."

Liu Bei and his civil and military forces turned their eyes to Zhou Yu.

Odd!

official position, Liu Bei is the biggest here.

Fame, Liu Bei is the highest.

Even if it is status, Liu Bei is the emperor's uncle!

But Guo Jia ignored Liu Bei, and instead asked Zhou Yu to go over to talk.

Is Liu Bei not a threat, and Zhou Yu is the leader of the Jiangdong military generals, do you want to trick Zhou Yu into killing him in the past?

Lu Méng immediately opened his mouth and said to Zhou Yu: "Governor, be careful of deception, you can't go!" ”

Although Lu Méng said that he had read the book for a few days, which impressed Lu Su, at most he could read the military book, and he was still ignorant of the truth.

What is the relationship between Guo Jia and Jiangdong?

Ally!

Lu Méng's words were not taboo at all, and his voice was not lowered, even if it could not reach Guo Jia's ears, let the people of Liu Bei Group hear it, wouldn't it make it difficult for Zhou Yu to ride a tiger?

Zhou Yu has to go now if he doesn't want to, otherwise he just doesn't trust his allies, and he's greedy for life and afraid of death?

Jiang Dong and Liu Bei are also allies, if Zhou Yu is afraid of Guo Jia, Liu Bei will not have other ideas?

Zhou Yu's face did not change, he slapped his horse and stepped forward and went to Guo Jia.
