"Junhou, now that the situation is urgent, I would like to have a few superficial views, how to deal with it, please make a decision for Junhou!" Zhuge Jin thought for a moment, and finally said cautiously.

"Ziyu talk quickly!" When Guan Yu heard this, he hurriedly signaled Zhuge Jin to hurry up and explain clearly. Although he has always despised scholars, Guan Yu still recognizes Zhuge Jin's ability. Now that he and Wenpin are like ants on a hot pot, it's good to have someone come up with an idea.

Now Pang Shiyuan and Liu Shuye are eyeing each other, and the soldiers and horses under the command of the two generals together are only sixty or seventy thousand. If you want to defend Jingbei to resist Cao Ying, or go north to rescue the lord, you can't help it. In this way, the general still shrank his forces and stationed in Jingbei to prevent Cao Ying, Liu Shuye, and Li Zhengfang's men and horses, and he could only ask others for the rescue of the lord! Zhuge Jin said carefully.

Although Zhuge Jin is also a Jingxiang scholar, but he is not as unscrupulous as Pang Tong, he always has to take care of his reputation, and now Liu Bei's life and death are uncertain, so he hurriedly supports his concubine as his heir, which is really not good to hear. Moreover, Zhuge Jin is from Xuzhou after all, and his sense of belonging to Jingxiang is not so strong, so he is not very interested in what Pang Tong and them did. As for Wen Ping, he really didn't want to start another war in his homeland, so he refused to cooperate with Pang Tong and plan a great cause.

"Who can I ask for such a big deal?" Guan Yu looked at the map and said helplessly. Zhuge Jin pointed to the map and continued to speak: "Liu Shuye has been in Yuzhou for many years, and now Zhang Wen is far away, and the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou are naturally the only ones who look forward. Li Zhengfang from Yanzhou was born in Jingxiang, and it was a blessing that he did not come to attack us. What's more, in the face of Cao Ying's soldiers, even if he has the heart to go north to rescue the lord, he is afraid that he will not be able to do anything. The rest of the Qingxu and Yangzhou military horses, first, have a limited number of people, and secondly, they are too far apart and cannot do anything. Therefore, at present, the only one who can be mobilized is General Zhao of Xichuan! ”

"Bo Tao?" Guan Yu looked down at the map, but finally sighed: "It seems that this is the only way." I immediately flew a pigeon and passed the book, and asked Bo Tao to lead the army through the three eastern counties and go north to rescue the eldest brother! ”

In addition, in order to prevent large-scale infighting, it was best for the second general to write a letter to inform Lu Zijing in Xuzhou and let him preside over the situation in the Xu Yang area. If you fight with Pang Shiyuan at this time and hurt your vitality, it will not be good. Let's wait until the lord is rescued! Zhuge Jin added at the end. Although the words only came to this step, Guan Yu and Wen Ping both knew that if Liu Bei was finished, then it would be completely over, and there was no need to worry about anything anymore.

"By the way, Mr. Ziyu, Pang Shiyuan said that he is going to kidnap General Zhao's wife and children and force him to comply!" Wen Ping remembered Pang Tong's words at this time, and hurriedly reminded him. As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu couldn't help but curse. Zhuge Jin looked at the map for a long time, and suddenly admonished: "Second general, I see that the matter is urgent, why don't you inform Liu Qi Gongzi of Jiangxia and ask him to transfer the water division back to Jingbei, one is to prepare to resist Cao Ying, and the other is to invite General Zhao's wife and children here to prevent Pang Shiyuan from being blackmailed." In addition, it is also necessary to dispatch a detailed work to inquire about the news of the lord many times. Although it is known that the main public soldiers have retreated to Xingyang, it is not yet known how it is. ”

"That's great!" Guan Yu nodded hurriedly. Guan Yu is not too worried about Liu Qi, after all, he is not an adventurous person, and he should not be of the same mind as Liu Pan and them. Facts have proved that Guan Yu finally saw people correctly.

Under the command of Guan Yu, nearly 70,000 Jingzhou troops in Xiangyang and Nanjun were quickly mobilized. Guan Yu himself sat in Xiangyang, and transferred reliable subordinates Dong to defend the public security, Chen Wu to guard Nanjun, and Zhou Tai to guard Yidu in case Liu Pan led the army to attack. In addition, at Zhuge Jin's suggestion, Guan Yu also reduced his forces, withdrew more than 10,000 of the 20,000 troops of Wancheng Mengda, and garrisoned Yiyang under the command of Guan Ping, in case Li Yan and Liu Pan attacked from Yanzhou and Yuzhou. However, according to Zhuge Jin's suggestion, they all stick to the pass and don't fight. At the same time, a spy horse and a messenger were sent out like a stream to find out the latest news.

After a few days, the news came one after another. When Liu Bei fled, Fu Tong led the people to fight to the death in the Tiger Prison Pass, and finally let Liu Bei lead about 30,000 remnants of the army to retreat into Xingyang at the cost of all 3,000 deaths. Fortunately, Xingyang is where Liu Bei's army is located, so there is no risk of food shortage for a while. Now Liu Bei is stuck in Xingyang, ready to wait for reinforcements.

At this time, with the support of Pang Tong, Liu Pan, Li Yan and other Jingxiang scholars, Liu Yong, who was only four years old, was proclaimed as the new king of Chu and set the capital at Xuchang. At the same time, Pang Tong, in the capacity of the Taifu of Chu and Shang Shuling, asked Jingzhou Mu and former general, and Yangzhou Mu Zhang Zhao to come to Xuchang to assist the young lord quickly. If not, they will be exterminated immediately. When the news came, the world was shocked.

"In vain, I still think that Liu Xuande is a hero, but I don't want him to be like Yuan Benchu, the sons will seize the throne, and cause trouble to Xiao Wall!" Under Xingyang City, Cao Ying looked at the news that had just been probed in his hand, and he was also very disdainful. Not only him, but all the senior Cao Jun executives present were surprised. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei, who was surrounded by himself, became an outcast.

"Lord, why don't you take the opportunity to wave your army south to capture Jingxiang?" After hearing the good news, Cao Hong was the first to take the initiative to ask. Cao Ying's brows furrowed slightly, and he thought for a while, and finally spoke: "Now that Liu Bei is trapped in Xingyang, I will wait for 200,000 troops to surround him, and I think he will be unable to fly." It's just a matter of Jingxiang, and now Pang Tong and others support Liu Bei's youngest son to succeed him, which will inevitably cause partisan disputes. I'll wait and see what happens, and then make plans! "Even Cao Ying can't distinguish these complex factions within Liu Bei. On the premise of not knowing the accurate information, it would not be good to rush to send troops if it aroused the hatred of the other side.

And all this, Guan Yu and Zhuge Jin can't take care of it. After a few days, there was finally good news, Lu Su of Xuzhou and Zhang Zhao of Yangzhou received the news of the flying pigeon, the former sent Xu Sheng to lead the army into Taishan County to guard against Li Yan, and the latter asked Ji Ling Chen to serve in Xiangjiang to prevent Liu Pan, but they were only on guard and never took the initiative to attack. After learning the news, Shi Guangyuan of Jiaozhou sent Feng Xi of Zhangnan to lead his army to settle in Huiji, and joined forces with Liao Li to threaten Wu County. Zhang Zhao had no choice but to send Sun Fu to Chen Bing in Zhejiang. Although there are no major conflicts everywhere, under the strict orders of Pang Tong and Liu Pan, there are constant small frictions. As for Liu Bei's eldest son Liu Feng, fortunately Mi Zhu in Xuchang City got the news, and the uncle and nephew fled back to Xuzhou in time, so they escaped.

"Second General, Ziyu, Zhongye!" In Xiangyang City, Liu Qi, who came in a hurry, greeted the three of them. Seeing him coming, Guan Yu and the others were also slightly relieved. Finally, Liu Qi did not follow Liu Pan and them all the way to the dark.

"The soldiers and horses of Nanjiangxia and Jingnan counties, all the soldiers and horses I can mobilize have been transferred. Now the affairs of Beijiangxia are taken care of by Buzishan, and I have also brought 10,000 Jingxiang sailors, but Shuye and Shiyuan can still mobilize civilian ships, calmly cross the river, and return to Jingnan. Liu Qi gave a brief introduction to the situation.

"It's not easy for the eldest prince to do this!" Guan Yu sighed, and Zhuge Jin on the side also hurriedly asked, "Then General Zhao's family, where are they now?" ”

"Mrs. Zhao understands the righteousness, I explained to her what happened, she has already taken her son to Xichuan to see General Zhao!" Liu Qi said calmly. As soon as these words came out, they really surprised Guan Yu and Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Jin meant that he would take Zhao Zheng and Zhen Jiang to Jingbei no matter what. One is that Pang Tong can't be allowed to take them hostage, and the other is that he means to coerce Zhao Feng a little. didn't want Liu Qi to be so generous, so he actually let them go to Xichuan. This time, no one could stop Zhao Feng from doing whatever he wanted to do.

"Let's still believe in Bo Tao!" Guan Yu finally came to a conclusion. At this time, the situation was extremely strange, Liu Bei was besieged in Xingyang by Cao Ying, but under his rule there was a turbulent undercurrent, and it was difficult to send someone to save him for a while. And Cao Ying naturally didn't want to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, while besieging Liu Bei, he was planning how to intervene in the already divided Liu Beijun and completely crush the entire Liu Bei group.

A few days later, Zhao Feng, who was in Xichuan, knew this series of news, but he was also shocked and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Almost instantly, the entire Liu Bei Group was in danger of being destroyed. The situation is so bad that Zhao Feng can't imagine it. It's chaotic, it's too chaotic, and now Guan Yu pins this last glimmer of hope on himself, where to go, all waiting for his own decision. It can even be said that this decision of his own will determine the belonging of the world. If he can rescue Lao Liu, then there is still something to be done. If Lao Liu dies in Xingyang, then it is almost certain that the south, which has been stirred up by Pang Tong, will be captured by Cao Ying in a few years. I am in Xichuan, and I am not spared.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel a trace of resentment: Pang Tong was really too keen on power, and he actually stumbled on his own people at this critical juncture. Even if it was Yuan Shao in the past, when he was alive, the god and horse Xu Yu and the trial were dying that he was competing for favor, and he didn't dare to think that he didn't exist. If Pang Tong waved his army to rescue Lao Liu at this time, why would he be so tired? It's a pity that he is unwilling to waste his lineage strength for Lao Liu, who is deeply encircled. is so short-sighted, I am afraid that only He Yingqin in later generations wants to take advantage of the Xi'an incident to bomb Zhang Xueliang and Lao Jiang, so that he can be "comparable".

"Alas, how could Brother Shiyuan do such a thing?" Ma Jian shook his head and sighed. At this time, all the high-level leaders in Yizhou gathered together, and Zhuge Liang had just analyzed the stakes. Now everyone looked at Zhao Feng, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

"General, your wife is here!" At this moment, Niu Jin hurriedly ran over and said, Zhao Feng was stunned when he heard this, "Which lady am I?" Subconsciously asked.

"Husband, it's me!" With this familiar voice, Zhen Jiang walked in calmly. After greeting everyone, Zhen Jiang told him that Liu Pan and Pang Tong intended to take him hostage, and they all relied on Liu Qi's summons to rush to Xichuan as soon as possible. The reason why he was in such a hurry to come to the palace to see him was to let him relax and not interfere with his thinking because of himself and his son.

"It's rare for Madame to be so considerate of me!" Zhao Feng also sighed when he heard this. If it weren't for the fact that she was in full view, she would definitely have been picked up and made love. It's really hateful that this guy Pang Tong wants his wife to threaten him.

"General, what do you think?" Seeing that Zhao Feng's eyes were becoming more and more determined, Lu Xun knew that he had already made a decision, and he also asked with a hint of expectation. Zhao Feng looked at him, and then at the high-level officials in Yizhou who were watching him in the hall, and finally made the most important decision in his life.
