Cao Cao looked at the three people in front of him, who were a little wolf, suddenly smiled, stood up, strode up to Liu Bei, held his hand, and laughed: "Xuande is a hero, I have long wanted to drink with Xuande, but I have no chance!" Xuande is here, I am very happy! ”

Cao Cao's generals behind him were very puzzled, and Xu Chu asked Guo Jia in a low voice: "Sir, what is there to be happy about these three lost dogs?" The country smiled but said nothing, signaling Xu Chu Mo to speak. Xu Chu pursed his lips and was very depressed.

Seeing Cao Cao so enthusiastic, Liu Bei couldn't help but be a little moved, and hugged his fists and said: "The general of the defeated army, I hope that Prime Minister Cao Cheng can take him in." Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very unhappy when they saw Liu Bei's posture so low.

Cao Cao grabbed Liu Bei's fist, patted it, and said closely: "Xuande and I don't have to be polite!" Then he took his hand and walked out of the gate, walked down the corridor to the backyard, and said, "Xuande will drink with me." Let's have a good chat today, and tomorrow I will lead Xuande to meet His Majesty. "Thank you, Prime Minister." The two brothers Guan Zhang and Cao Cao's advisers followed closely behind, each with different thoughts.

Luoyang.

Luoyang in the middle of the night is very quiet, like a heavenly palace under the reflection of the cold moonlight. Zhang Lang hadn't rested yet, standing in front of the map and thinking. He was thinking about Sun Jian's possible next strategy, Xiangyang has been captured, what will Sun Jian do next? Is it a temporary recuperation, or is it to continue to use troops? If it is a soldier, it will be aimed at Nanyang, Hanzhong, or both places.

Soft footsteps could be heard behind him.

Zhang Lang turned around and saw Huang Yueying coming in with some food. She changed into a dress, wearing a lilac tunic dress, with a pendant gold hairpin in her bun, and her beautiful face flickered in the dim light, like a fantasy and a real feeling, and the night fairy may suddenly disappear when the sun rises.

Zhang Lang walked over and said with a smile: "Sister Yueying, didn't she rest?" ”

Huang Yueying smiled slightly, I heard that the eldest brother was still busy in the study, so I came over. ”

Zhang Lang glanced at a few simple snacks in front of him, the same dried tofu, the same wheat cakes, and a bowl of milky white soy milk. Zhang Lang felt a little hungry, picked up the wheat cake and took a bite, chewed and swallowed it, and nodded: "Not bad!" It seems to be more fragrant than usual. It's Yueying's sister's craft, right? Huang Yueying pursed her lips and smiled. Turning his head to look at the map on the side, he asked, "Big brother is thinking about Sun Jian's matter?" ”

Zhang Lang nodded, took a bite of wheat cake, and said angrily: "This Liu Bei is really useless!" I was counting on him to resist for at least a year and a half, but I didn't expect to lose in less than a month! Now that Sun Jian has arrived at the door, things are very tricky! ”

Huang Yueying nodded sympathetically, "Our situation is indeed not optimistic now!" The three major forces in the world are all eyeing each other! Now that the main force of our army is contained in the Luoyang area, if Sun Jian attacks Hanzhong or Nanyang with all his might, the shape is worrying! ”

Zhang Lang put down the half-bitten wheat cake and frowned: "Sun Jian is a hero, I estimate that he will not choose to rest and recuperate, but take advantage of the opportunity when the main force of our army is pinned down in Luoyang to launch an attack!" ”

Huang Yueying nodded and said, "It's almost certain!" ”

Zhang Lang glanced at Huang Yueying's delicate face that could compete with Haoyue, and asked, "Sister Yueying, does she think Sun Jian will attack Hanzhong or Nanyang?" ”

Huang Yueying said: "Capture Hanzhong!" As long as Hanzhong is captured, the door to Bashu will be opened, and Nanyang can be surrounded from above, and Nanyang is almost at your fingertips! Therefore, Sun Jian's primary target must be Hanzhong! ”

Zhang Lang nodded thoughtfully.

Xiangyang. The army of 300,000 had been assembled, and Sun Jian's finger fell on Hanzhong. The army left Xiangyang in a mighty way and launched a fierce attack on the Jiangnan camp of the Xiangjiang Lü Bu army. Lü Bu's army retreated with only a little resistance and burned the pontoon bridge. An army of 300,000 troops was entrenched on the south bank of the Xiangjiang River, and tens of thousands of soldiers quickly built pontoon bridges under the command of the generals.

Sun Jian and the other generals immediately stood on the hill, looking at the mountains and rivers on the north bank. Sun Ce mocked: "It is said that how brave and good Lu Bujun is, I think it is also in vain!" A Jiangnan camp was lost in half a day! The generals laughed. Sun Ren frowned; Zhou Yu showed a thoughtful look.

In the evening, the pontoon bridge was built.

Sun Jian waved his horsewhip, and an army of 300,000 immediately rushed across the Xiangjiang River. Fancheng is in front of you, and everyone is ready for a fierce battle.

However, when they arrived outside Fancheng, everyone was stunned. The gates of Fancheng were opened, and there were no soldiers on the city walls, and tens of thousands of people were kneeling at the gates, as if waiting for them?

Sun Jianjun's soldiers looked at each other. Huang Gai couldn't help muttering, "What trick is Lu Bu playing?" ”

An old man among those people came forward with something in his hand, came to Sun Jian's horse, knelt down, and held up the thing in his hand, which seemed to be a seal or something. "On behalf of the people of Fancheng, the grass people surrender to General Sun! I hereby enshrine the seal document and Zhuge Liang's mouth! ”

Sun Jian motioned to Sun Ce to take the seal paper, Sun Ce immediately stepped forward, took the seal document from the old man's hand, forwarded it to Sun Jian, and said excitedly: "Father......"

Sun Jian glanced at the seal documents and smiled proudly. Glancing at the old man, he asked, "What message does Zhuge Liang have?" ”

The old man raised his head and glanced at Sun Jian, and said loudly: "Zhuge Liang said that Fancheng will be lent to the general for the time being, and I hope that the general will treat the people of Li well so that he can do it for himself!" Sun Jian was furious, "The general of the defeated army is talking nonsense." The old man hurriedly lowered his head.

The army entered the city and found that Lu Bu's army had indeed all withdrawn. Sun Jian was very excited, and felt that Lu Bu was nothing more than that!

After returning from the occupation, Sun Jian continued to wave his troops northward without stopping, occupying the entire territory of Nanyang in just a few days, and everywhere Lü Bu's army withdrew before Sun Jian's army arrived, and there was almost no fighting.

Sun Jian left Huang Gaicheng Pu with an army of 100,000 to garrison Nanyang, and then he led an army of 200,000 to the west, preparing to attack Hanzhong. The army marched westward along the Han River, and the army's baggage stretched for dozens of miles, which was magnificent. Half a month later, a city appeared in front of everyone. Shangyong City, backed by the Han River, south of the mountains, the terrain is steep, is the throat of the Hanzhong from Jingzhou. At this point, Sun Jianjun finally saw Lu Bujun's voice, flags were waving on the city wall, and a row of soldiers were holding spears, the cold light was shining, and they were slaughtered.

Zhou Yu frowned when he saw such a scene, "I understand, Lu Bu originally had this idea!" ”
