However, it is said that after Deng Ai captured Leiyang, he took Leiyang as a stronghold, Leishui as a life, and mobile defense against Lu Xun's attack, Lu Xun had Jiangdong fierce generals Ding Feng, Sun Shao, Liuzan, etc., and Deng Ai, who was suppressed for a while, could only be active in the Leiyang area.

At this moment, Deng Ai's characteristics appeared, Deng Ai explored the terrain everywhere, and often used the terrain to disintegrate the Jiangdong Army's offensive, relying on a mere Leiyang county town, and actually nailed Lu Xun's 20,000 military horses to Guiyang, not daring to leave.

Lu Xun has never met such a difficult guy, it is said that according to Deng Ai, who guards Leiyang, this son has not yet reached the crown. Lu Xun began to marvel that Jing Nan was really a capable man, and he was just a genius in his own sky, and his subordinates were even more capable, that is, there were three generals who did not reach the crown, one was Guan Yu's second son Guan Xing, and the other was Zhao Yun's eldest son Zhao Tong.

On this day, Lu Xun was still deploying a military strategy to attack Leiyang, and was convening the generals to discuss the matter, but he heard an urgent report from a personal guard outside the tent: "General! Changsha Urgent! ”

Lu Xun frowned, Lu Meng was seriously ill, he knew, he shrank the people and horses before, that is, he wanted to enter Changsha to take charge of the military horses under Lu Meng, who expected this Deng Ai to be so difficult, he dragged himself, he was also very worried about the situation in Changsha, this more than ten days have passed, there is no news from Changsha, he is already restless, it is a few days ago to send a few scouts into Changsha to inquire about the news. At this moment, I am afraid that the scouts under my command will send back the news.

"Come in and say." Lu Xun's voice was gentle and sharp, which made people feel comfortable, but also felt that this person was an energetic character.

The guard led a scout into the tent, and the scout said, "On the order of the general, I waited in Changsha to inquire about the news, and there is already news!" ”

"Hmm!" Lu Xun looked at the scout, but the scout was hesitant and didn't know what to say.

The scout saw Lu Xun looking at him. Hurriedly said: "I waited until I arrived in Shonan City, and found that our army had been defeated!" Later, I went to Xiangxiang City to investigate the enemy's situation, and learned from the mouth of the general of Jingnan County that General He Qi was killed in battle, General Huang Gai was killed in battle, General Jiang Qin was killed in battle, and two generals, Gan Ning and Pan Zhang, were captured. Our brigade was killed or captured. Huo Yizheng, the enemy's commander-in-chief, is leading the army to pursue the remnants of our army and has entered Changsha. ”

Lu Xun was silent when he heard this, and raised his head for a long time: "Is there any news from the Metropolitan Governor?" ”

The scout said in a deep voice: "That tun will speak." The Metropolitan Governor has died! ”

Lu Xun slapped the table case heavily, and Ding Feng got up and said, "General, our army should fight quickly." Go to Changsha to fight with Huo Yi. Retake Changsha is! ”

Sun Shao said: "General Ding is right, but Deng Shizai is too difficult, our army has been confronting him here for several months, and this guy has never suffered a loss, but our army has more people than this guy, but it is controlled everywhere." It's really tight. ”

Lu Xun said: "This is not the time for us to make our own decisions. ”

After thinking about it, Lu Xun looked at the scouts under the tent: "You go back to Jiangdong quickly, report the situation here to the lord, and ask the lord to decide." ”

"Whoa!" The scout said.

Liuzan said in a deep voice: "After this defeat, our army has been greatly injured. I'm afraid that the lord is also going to give up Changsha, Huo Yi is too fierce. The exhaustion of 50,000 troops and horses is really too great a blow to our army. ”

Lu Xun said in a deep voice: "Alas, when Lu Zijing was there, he always did not agree to use troops against Liu Bei, in fact, our army and Liu Bei are weaker than the enemy in the north, we really shouldn't kill each other, we should fight together, and reject Cao Thief is, Cao Thief has been obscure all these years, and even if he lost Hanzhong, he also wanted to stabilize the situation and restore production, and the garrisons in Hefei and Xiangfan were also seeking refinement and not more, just to restore production as much as possible, and then attack and destroy us and Liu Bei." ”

"Our army attacked Hefei twice and was unable to survive, and the losses were huge, which made the lord sweep his eyes to Jingzhou. The Governor of the Partial Life Metropolitan has been planning for Jingzhou for a long time, and finally waited for Guan Yu to attack Xiangfan, and the opportunity was rare. This is to attack Jingnan, but I still think that Jingnan should not be attacked, and Jiangling should be attacked directly, and then a partial division should be sent to hold Yiyang and Jingling, or it may cause chaos in Jingzhou. ”

Liuzan shook his head: "The Governor of Dadu has always been proud, he was defeated in the hands of Huo Yi in the past, and he led the army to attack Jingnan in order to defeat Huo Yi to prove that he is not inferior to Huo Yi." Thinking about coming to the Metropolitan Governor, he is a little selfish. ”

Lu Xun shook his head: "It's too late to say anything at this time, the big mistake has been made, and the situation in our army is worrying!" ”

The battle of Xiangfan was very fierce, Guan Yu's army went north, surrounded Cao Ren's 5,000 troops in Fancheng, and rejected Lu Chang's 3,000 men and horses in Xiangyang. Even the arrival of reinforcements from the Seventh Army led by Yu Ban and Pang De did not change the situation, and even at the beginning of November, Guan Yu's Jingnan Army from Huo Yi broke through Xiangyang in one fell swoop, making Fancheng even more lonely.

Yu Ban's reinforcements of the Seventh Army were north of Xiangyang, and they were defeated by Guan Yu's army and horses in the first battle, so they could only retreat to the camp fifty miles north of Xiangyang City, and did not dare to advance half a step south.

The situation in Fancheng is already extremely difficult, although Fancheng has been run by Cao Ren as solid as gold, the whole city has become a war machine, the grain and grass in it can be eaten by five thousand soldiers and horses for half a year, but it is also unable to withstand the daily siege of Guan Yu's army hungry consumption, at this moment Fancheng can only fight three thousand, and even Guan Yu's forward battalion has been allowed to climb the city many times, although in the end Cao Ren drove down the city, but several times there are dangers.

At the beginning of Guan Yu's attack on Xiangfan, Cao Ren heard that the Jiangdong Army had invaded Jingnan in the south, and he was naturally overjoyed, but in just a few days, the situation changed greatly, and the Jiangdong Army was defeated by Huo Yi in Jingnan, and the Jiangdong Army's troops in Jingzhou no longer had the strength to covet Jingnan.

Cao Ren was angry when he heard the news, he knew that what the prime minister needed at this moment was stability, a time to be able to resume production, and it was impossible to mobilize a large army and horses to gallop to help Fancheng. The arrival of Yu Ban's seven soldiers and horses had already surprised Cao Ren.

Guan Yu is also very anxious, the siege has been for several months, and the Fan City guarded by Cao Ren is as solid as a turtle shell, making people have nowhere to put their mouths.

The rebellion of Hou Yin in Wancheng in the north has been suppressed, and it is Zhang He, the general who was defeated in the battle of Hanzhong, who came to suppress it. Wancheng put down the rebellion, and Zhang He slaughtered tens of thousands of people in Wancheng Mountain.
