In the late autumn of the seventh year of Jian'an (202), the Han world fell into war again

Withered vines and old trees, crows, autumn wind, fallen leaves and yellow sand!

Time is like flowing water, and the more than a month passes!

At this time, the northern part of Jiangxia and the county seat of Xiyang

Several soldiers and horses looked at each other from afar, in stark contrast to the broken banner of the word "Guan" on the tower of Xiyang City!

Directly opposite the city tower, the big banner of the word 'Cao' flutters, and the army under it stretches for several miles, and the army is mighty; in front of the generals, on a chariot drawn by two horses, Cao Cao is standing up straight, looking at Guan Yu above the city tower from afar

"Yun Chang, don't come to harm?!" Cao Cao laughed heartily, looking at Guan Yu, who had been trapped in the city for several days, he was in a very comfortable mood;

"Now the situation inside and outside the city, presumably Yun Chang can also see it clearly?!" Cao Cao continued to smile and said: "Liu Xuande must not come, and Yun Chang, you can't hold on for long now, why don't you come to my Cao Cao's account?!" ”

"Cao Cao will treat you like a brother and treat you as a brother!" Cao Cao stared closely at the tall and majestic figure of the city tower and said;

You know, he has always been hot for Guan Yu, this time Runan was captured by Guan Yu, and endangered Xuchang at all times, Cao Cao immediately rerouted Jiangxia, along the way where the army went, directly recovered Runan and other places captured by Guan Yu, and went south along the way

And the reason for this, how much is to trust Xiahoudun's ability, and how much is for Guan Yu, only Cao Cao himself knows it in his heart!

"Humph!" Guan Yu secretly snorted coldly and didn't reply, but it could be seen from his heavy face that he was not relaxed in his heart!

And a young general beside him also frowned and asked Guan Yu in a low voice: "Father, why don't we lead the troops to break through again?!" ”

This person is Guan Ping! A young and promising youngster!

"Yes!" Hearing this, Guan Yu nodded slightly, but did not explicitly agree, just frowned and groaned

Cao Cao diverted to Jiangxia. Attacking under Xiyang City, it is naturally impossible to arrange 400,000 troops at one city gate, so the remaining three gates are also guarded by Cao General and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at this time!

Thinking of this, Guan Yu couldn't help but feel a little angry, before the tenth month, the young general surnamed Wei and Liu Ziyang, a descendant of the Han family, must have been sent by Liu Xiu to bewitch him!

If it weren't for the two of them, how could he have broken into Yuzhou and attracted Cao Cao's army!

Guan Yu was angry. Cao Cao under the city was in a very good mood, he looked at the city tower again, and said solemnly: "I know Yun Chang's righteousness, but after many days, Liu Xuande is still nowhere to be seen, and he has not come to rescue Yun Chang, Yun Chang should know, then Liu Xuande may not have taken Yun Chang to heart at all?!" ”

"Yun Chang should not enter my Cao Cao camp as a guest first, wait for Xuande, and ask him face to face. How about making a decision to stay?! ”

"I don't want to be easily killed by the soldiers in the city with you, right?!"

Cao Cao excitedly persuaded

Guan Yu, who was on the city tower, thought slightly, and seemed to have made some decision

However!

At this moment, Cao Cao had soldiers around him to report:

"Lord Qi, tens of thousands of troops have arrived on the east and west sides!"

"Tens of thousands of troops?!" Cao Cao frowned. Surprised: "Then Liu Da'er has been in Jingzhou for just a few years, is it possible to have such a large number of soldiers and horses?!" ”

His face was surprised, but Cao Cao never put these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his heart at all, and he now has 400,000 soldiers and horses around him. I'm afraid that they won't be able to make it by tens of thousands?!

"Lord, it will not be Liu Bei, it will be the soldiers and horses of Liu Xiu and the Sun family!" Guo Jia, who was beside Cao Cao, said with a smile;

"Oh?!" Cao Cao was very curious. With such a large army going south, he had just captured a few cities in the north of Jiangxia, but he didn't expect to attract other people, and the two of them came together

"Let them come!" Cao Cao confidently ordered loudly;

Then he whispered to the guards on the left and right: "Go to other city gates, let a few generals secretly transfer the soldiers and horses back, and lie in the forest!" ”

"Whoa!"

Not long after, in the east and west directions of Xiyang City, a soldier and horse came slowly!

The soldier in the east, with the word 'Zhou' on the flag, is Zhou Yu and others from Jiangdong, and the flag on the west is fluttering with the word 'Xie', which is Liu Xiu's Jiangxia governor - Xie Xuan and others!

Cao Cao looked at the newcomers on both sides, and the smiles on his face were even worse, this is normal, Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have all been defeated by him, not to mention the current number!

"Under the command of the Marquis of Xia Chu, Xie Xuan, the governor of Jiangxia, has seen Prime Minister Cao Cheng!"

Xie Xuan saw Cao Cao's presence, took a few steps forward, smiled slightly, and raised his voice to salute;

"Xie Xuan?!" Cao Cao had a headache for these Wenchen generals of unknown origin and mysterious identities under Liu Xiu's command, and after hearing Xie Xuan's name at this time, he still couldn't remember which one

"My lord! This person is in charge of the military department among the six positions set up by Liu Xiu privately! Cheng Yu, who helped Cao Cao manage the news channels under his command, saw the look of his lord, so he immediately whispered: "In addition to staying in Changsha all the year round to train soldiers for Liu Xiu, this person really can't find out how he can be, and he is actually in charge of one of the six departments under Liu Xiu!" ”

"As for this Xie Xuan's father, Xie Yi, has made a lot of political achievements under Liu Xiu's rule!"

"Oh?!" Cao Cao observed this person from afar, to say that Guan Yu would go north to capture Runan this time, he was actually extremely surprised, and before Guan Yu went north, it is said that Liu Xiu's soldiers went to relieve the siege, and Liu Xiu's governor in Jiangxia is this Xie Xuan, so Guan Yu's reckless northward journey must have something to do with this person? !

But Cao Cao listened to Cheng Yu's introduction at this time, but he felt that this person had won the credit of his father

"You are the governor arranged by Liu Xiu in Jiangxia?!" Cao Cao asked again: "Hehehehe, what a young man!" ”

As Cao Cao spoke, he glanced at several generals beside Xie Xuan, laughed and asked, "Do you know that there is my Cao Cao's 400,000 troops here?!" As the governor, you led the troops into danger, I don't know how Liu Xiu can rest assured that you will be the governor of the capital?! ”

Cao Cao smiled, and even turned his head to look at Zhou Yu on the east side

"Hahaha" Xie Xuan smiled confidently: "Xie is valued by the lord, that is Xie Mou's third life is lucky!" ”

"But how did Prime Minister Cao know that Xie was in danger?!" Xie Xuan said, looking at the Xiyang City Tower, as well as the Sun clan Zhou Yu in the east

"Oh?!" Cao Cao laughed even louder, but there was a little fear in his voice: "Haha, I don't know what else you can do?" Don't you just rely on Zhou Gongjin?! (To be continued.) )
