"Governor, the Han army has retreated." Due to the unclear situation, Pan Zhang and Chen Wu did not dare to pursue rashly, so they watched the Han army retreat with wide eyes, and it was not until Wei Yan and Ling Tong's cavalry came in the dust that they were sure that the Han army had indeed withdrawn.

Looking at the second general, who had no traces of blood on his body, but looked tired and haggard, Lu Meng patted his back and said: "The two of you will go down to rest first, and the brothers who fought will go back to the back tent to rest, and leave the rest to General Sun and the governor." ”

"Whoa!"

"Zhong Yi, you took the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to reorganize the camp, treat the wounded, and all the brothers who died in the battle could recognize the corpses were cremated separately, and those who could not distinguish their faces were incinerated with the Han army. By the way, inform the rear army to prepare food, and the sergeants were hungry all night of the battle, and only when they were full did they have the strength to do things. ”

"Whoa!" Sun Yu took the order and left.

"The Grand Duke!" As soon as the "General of the Che Cavalry" Sun Yu walked on the front foot, Wei Yan and Ling Tong led their horses to Lu Meng. Compared with Chen Wu and Pan Zhang, who were shooting at the enemy, these two people really rushed over, especially Ling Tong's body was stained with blood, the dazzling Mingguang armor was dyed with blood armor, and there were many dried blood scabs on his hair, not to mention the fishy smell, how thick and thick it was, but fortunately, neither of them was injured.

Lu Meng looked at the two of them with satisfaction, and didn't ask why Wei Yan was here, but said: "The two generals rushed to help all the way, and they fought for a long time, and they worked hard. Go to the back camp to freshen up, the governor has already ordered the rear camp fire head army to bury the pot and cook, let's eat! ”

"Whoa!" Wei Yan went to wash as soon as he gave up, it was already a harsh winter, and he was sweating after a hard battle with Zhang Fei, but now he was uncomfortable after the cold.

"The Grand Duke!" Ling Tong didn't leave, he was a military general directly under Lu Meng, and he still had something to report. "My father's infantry will arrive in about two moments. However, how did the Han army raid? ”

"On the river, we always thought that Liu Bei was garrisoning Jiangbei, but we didn't expect him to put Zhang Fei's Han army in Jiangnan, and the soldiers of our army in Jiangnan were all transferred to Jiangling, and the Han army came all the way from Jiangnan." Lu Meng stroked his beard and said in a deep voice. "Alright, Gongji, you can go and freshen up! Look at the blood stains on your body, smoking! ”

"Wow!!"

·························

··············································

Zhijiang is located in the south of Hubei Province, the north bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the western edge of the Jianghan Plain, the end of the Three Gorges, the head of the Jingjiang River, is one of the counties under the jurisdiction of Yidu County, just located between Zigui and Yidu City, embedded in the key position of Liu Bei.

At about the same time as Zhang Fei's attack on Yiling's Wu army, a large number of Wu troops who were supposed to be in Jiangling galloped towards this place. Almost all the main forces of the Jingzhou army were in the hands of Lu Meng, and even the Wuwei army supported by Sun Ce was also placed in Yidao, but Jiangling did not leave many soldiers.

But fortunately, Qiao Ren still transferred some troops under the command of Donglaxi, and handed over Pan Jun's 5,000 men to Zhang Ren, Sun Ben's 6,000 men, and Gan Ning and Zhou Tai's 2,000 foot soldiers (the two had 6,000 people, but 4,000 were navy), plus the original Lu Xun's 6,000 soldiers, Shengsheng raised enough 20,000 people, and handed them over to Lu Xun to take Zhijiang.

Liu Bei's departure from Shu this time and Guan Yu's remnants were only 50,000 or 60,000, and 20,000 people were not much, but stealing Zhijiang could still be done. Besides, Qiao Ren's mind is not really to lay down Zhijiang.

"Lu Dudu, do you think this battle can go well?" Gan Ning and Zhou Tai guarded Lu Xun on the left and right, and the striker was still led by Zhang Ren, just looking at this lineup seemed to be more luxurious than Lu Meng's. At this time, it was Zhou Tai who was asking, and Zhou Youping, who was a big and rough man, had been floating on the sea for a long time, and his mind had become better.

Lu Xun was dressed in a beautiful Mingguang armor covered with a pale white robe, wearing a purple and gold crown on his head, and a sword hanging from his waist, which was exactly the same as Zhou Yu and Qiao Ren's wartime dress. At this time, Lu Xun, who was handsome and handsome, frowned, and thought for a long time before answering Zhou Tai: "I just received information that Zhang Fei led an army of more than 20,000 to attack the Dadu Governor, and was defeated, and now he and Liu Bei are forming an army to confront the Dadu Governor in Yiling. It stands to reason that there should not be many soldiers and horses stationed in Zhijiang and Zigui, and when our army sent troops, it was still a few days before Zhang Fei's sneak attack, according to our marching speed, Liu Beijun was definitely difficult to detect, and even if he did, it would be too late. ”

"Is that a hand-to-hand capture?"

"Otherwise, Fa Zheng is not an unscrupulous person, and there is no figure of Guan Yu in Liu Bei's camp, I'm afraid Guan Yunchang will stay behind and return!" Lu Xun knew very well that Zigui was Liu Bei's way back, and Zhijiang was the gateway to Zigui, and Liu Bei would not leave heavy troops to guard no matter how stupid he was. "But it doesn't matter, the general's intention is to take advantage of the large number of troops in our army to make Liu Bei difficult to take care of, even if he can't beat Zhijiang, as long as Liu Bei feels anxious."

In fact, Qiao Ren's meaning is not to make Liu Bei feel anxious, but to make Fa Zheng feel anxious, when it was nearly twenty-four years of Jian'an, according to Qiao Ren's guess, Fa Zheng's body at this time must already have problems, as long as one more fire is added, it will not be a problem for Fa Zheng to work more and consume him to death, what can Liu Bei do without Fa Zheng, even if he is concerned.

There has never been a shortage of good strategists in the Three Kingdoms and even in the great disputes of the Chinese dynasties, what is lacking is a person who is good at judgment, the so-called resourceful and good decision, the strategist only needs to be resourceful, but the monarch needs a person who is good at judgment. Fa Zheng may not be as comprehensive as Zhuge Liang, conspiracy is not as good as Pang Tong, and pure military is not as good as Xu Shu, but he is good at judging that he can choose from many schemes, which may not be the best but effective, and the most important thing is that he can let Liu Bei implement the strategy from beginning to end. Fa Zheng is to Liu Bei what Guo Jia is to Cao Cao, Wang Meng is to Fu Jian, Du Ruhui is like Li Shimin, and Liu Ji (Liu Bowen) is to Zhu Yuanzhang. At that time, with his strength, whether to welcome the emperor or not, whether to defeat Cao Cao or to rely on comprehensive national strength to press, as long as he can persevere to the end, Cao Cao may not be able to win, but Yuan Shao lost in the absence of a mastermind who can let him finish from the beginning.

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, Qiao Ren just wanted to consume Fazheng, Liu Bei, who had no backbone, was not willing to fight to the death with Dongwu, and then Qiao Ren's goal was achieved, that is, to occupy Jingzhou without weakening Liu Bei's strength too much, so that he could go out of Hanzhong to fight Yongliang if he had nothing to do. Of course, if Liu Bei is stubborn and insists on fighting, Dongwu is not afraid of him, Lu Xun can win the battle of Yiling in history, and now the stronger Dongwu has the advantage of troops, there is no reason why he can't win.

"Then, does our army need to fight with Guan Yu's army? The general's military order is just for us to wait for an opportunity to attack Zhijiang, which makes Liu Bei embarrassed. Gan Ning asked with an excuse on the side.

"Well····· this"

"Report! The governor of the capital, the forward has reached the Zhijiang River, and the general of the Han army, Guan Yu, is in front of the city. "At this time, a fast horse came to the dust.

Maybe it's Lu Xun's words, Zhijiang City is really guarded by Guan Yu, and the competitive Guan Yu also put up a position in front of the city, in the case of no superiority in troops, it will be a good choice for the general. Moreover, Guan Yu was first tied by Pang De in Fancheng, and then defeated by Xu Huang's big axe, and he was unhappy after all, and he wanted to take Wu Li Wei in the future.

"General Xingba and General Youping, it seems that the general wants to accompany the two, it is expected a long time ago!"
