"Strike first, the general fights! Before Liu Bei could react, he was caught off guard and dizzy. The militants, plus the general Gan Ning, who had coveted the vanguard commander for a long time, said viciously.

Since Zhu Ran led the army to take over Xiangyang easily, all the civil and military forces in Jingzhou believed in Qiao Ren's judgment, Cao Cao's time is running out, and Cao Wei will usher in a transitional period in the next two years, and there is absolutely no energy to attack Wu during this time, more than two years is not a short time, at least Liu Bei can be driven back to Shu.

Just when Qiao Ren hesitated for a while, his long history Huang Quan also opened his mouth to persuade: "Xiangyang has already changed hands, Liu Bei will never do useless work out of Sichuan, plus our army has taken back Nanjun, Liu Bei may send troops to capture Jingbei, the general is better to do it first." Wei's general Cao Ren was very anxious to attack Shangyong, and Meng Da's family was familiar with Cao Ren's opponent, so he couldn't say that our army would be able to attack Shuzhong and take Xichuan. ”

Qiao Renna glanced at Huang Quan, and sneered in his heart, how could Liu Bei be so easy to bully, not to mention that others were so easy to deal with. Besides, Dongwu does not have the strength to fight against Cao Wei alone, even if it takes Yizhou, and how much loss it will have to pay to take Yizhou, you must know that Yizhou is the most difficult of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, a turtle shell.

"It's best not to fight, we and Liu Bei were allies after all, although they are a little awkward, they can't go over the wall. An envoy was sent to inform Liu Bei that our king recognized his Han king, as long as he could recognize Brother Rui as the pastor of Jingzhou. "Recognizing Rui Xuan as the pastor of Jingzhou is equivalent to recognizing Jingzhou as owned by Soochow.

"I'm afraid Liu Bei won't agree! Liu Bei's husband is repeatedly difficult to raise, and like Liu Bang, he only takes advantage and never suffers, and he will never bow his head, and he will not lose Jingzhou Liu Bei only has a fan of waiting for death in Yizhou, how can he do it! Jiang Ji spoke loudly.

Hearing this, everyone in the hall was silent, Jiang Ji had mixed up under Cao Cao in his early years, of course, he knew more about Liu Bei's glorious deeds in the early years than this group of Jiangnan people, not to mention that Liu Zhang, who was not long ago, was a lesson from the past, and Liu Bei's alliance was not steady, and he also believed that Liu Bei, who had been stabbed by Eastern Wu, would easily believe in his allies.

"Lonely, it is still an advance envoy, Liu Bei has a lot of soldiers and horses and is also elite, even if the battle is won, the loss of our army will never be small. He told Liu Bei that Xiangyang was defeated by our army, and the king of Wei withdrew his troops due to changes in the north, and Xiangyang was captured by our army. As long as Liu Bei can admit the established fact that our army occupies Jingzhou and retreat to Yizhou, it is a big deal that our army will compensate him for some grain. If not, Qiao Ren's voice was cold, "Lone doesn't mind fighting him in Jingbei." ”

"I also agree with what the general said." Lu Xun finally spoke, and as soon as he spoke, he represented the opinions of the Wu Jun clan and the Jingzhou army. "But in my opinion, the success may not be great, the general should be ready for war!"

"It's good to prepare more, and let the Wuwei general Wei Yan lead the army to station in Yidao."

"General, General Sun Huan sent a song of soldiers and horses to send a woman!" Captain Sun Song walked in with a smirk on his face, and his voice was loud for fear that others would not know.

Wow! Several people in the hall stared at Qiao Ren up and down with strange eyes, and Qiao Ren was uncomfortable. Lu Xun was the only one, and his expression did not move. Because he saw the clue at a glance, Sun Song is Qiao Ren's half-son, and he will personally come to report this kind of thing, which obviously has connotations.

Sure enough, Sun Song's expression suddenly changed, he made an exaggerated look, and hurriedly said: "I forgot to say, General Sun Huan's subordinates said that they were Mr. Zitong's wife, and the King of Wei specially picked him up from Shouchun and placed him in Xiangyang to wait for our army..."

Qiao Ren didn't expect that Liu Bei, after receiving Qiao Ren's envoy patiently listened to his intentions, he actually didn't say anything about it, and arranged for the envoy to rest in Zigui, and that night he headed towards Yiling with Zhang Fei as the vanguard.

This time, Liu Bei also learned Qiao Ren's usual method, using the water army to transport troops first, ordering Chen Shi and Wu Ban to lead the army to the upper reaches of the river west of Yiling, and then sending Zhang Fei to lead the army to march quickly.

The surprise attacking army, braving the cold wind, arrived upstream before dawn and joined Wu Ban's army. A surprise attack force of about 20,000 people, with the help of the misty starlight, began to cross the river.

Yes, that's right, cross the river. Nanjun contains the Yangtze River, Liu Bei's troops were originally stationed on the north bank of Zigui, but the Wu army received information from Xiangyang, Liu Bei and everyone thought that Sun Cao had joined forces, plus what Wu Jun had done before, the Han army was also holding a bad breath, especially Guan Yu and Guan Yu's good friend Zhang Fei.

But Fa Zheng clearly knew that the Wu army was invincible, and unfortunately, Qiao Ren and other generals and sergeants were all concentrated in the north of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River was very poorly defended, and the naval army also docked in Jiangling, so he planned to take it by surprise and gather the army on the south bank to avoid the eyes ---of the Wu army.

And Liu Bei himself took an army of 30,000, pretending to march slowly, and pretending to be 50,000 to attract Lu Meng's attention. One is positive and one is strange, in order to Yiling important land, defeat Lu Meng and give Qiao Ren a little color to see.

The climate in the middle of winter gave the Han army an excellent opportunity, because the cold temperature, so that the river water at this time is rarely populated, what the Han army has to do is to let their army cross the river, rush over, and kill into the camp of the Wu army on the shore.

However, the Wu army was not stupid enough not to take the slightest precautions, and the Han army had just disembarked and traveled only five miles, and soon they were greeted by scouts on the riverside, and the Wu army camp immediately beat drums. More than 2,000 crossbowmen were quickly transferred out of the camp, formed a simple military formation five miles from the shore, and fired arrows at the Han army rushing in the night. Wu Ban, who was traveling with Zhang Fei, judged the number of enemy crossbowmen by the density of arrows, and his face couldn't help but show joy, and said to Zhang Fei excitedly: "Third general, judging from the sound of arrows, most of the enemy troops are still asleep. As long as he rushed through this military formation, the Wu army was afraid that there would be nothing he could do, and General Chen Shi was almost behind Yiling, sandwiching him back and forth. Hmph"

When Zhang Fei heard this, the slaughter and excitement immediately surged all over his body, so he raised his Zhangba snake spear and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me into the enemy camp and take the head of Lu Meng, there will be a heavy reward." ”

"Report !!!" The camp of the Wu army in Yiling was already in chaos at this time. "The Han Army, the Han Army Attacks the Camp!"

"Humph! What a lie! Lu Meng scolded dissatisfiedly, he brought his own 30,000 troops and did not all of them stationed in Yiling, but personally led troops to station on the riverside, in case the Han army went downstream, but he did not bring all the troops to the riverside, Ling Cao father and son with 8,000 elite soldiers and 1,000 horses in Yiling City.

"Metropolitan Governor, Liu Bei is really coming." Jiang Qin said loudly on the side. "The general shouldn't have sent any messengers!"

"You think the Great General will be so simple, if I'm right. At this time, the general was long away in Jiangling, and the envoy was just to confuse Liu Bei, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to think he had a plan, hum! ”

"Where will the Great General be?" Jiang Qin asked

"What day is it?" Lu Meng asked Jiang Qin facing the map.

"The fifth day of the twelfth month of winter."

"This!" Lu Meng pointed with his left hand, and a red place name on the map appeared in front of Jiang Qin's eyes----- Zhijiang.
