The twenty-fourth year of Jian'an has been an eventful time, at least for Young Master Zhuge . In the battle of Lingling, the young master Zhuge who wanted to beat his uncle Zhuge Jin with a stuffy stick was slammed by Zhuge Jin, and with full of resentment, he waved his army north to Jiangxia, preparing to make up for the loss of face in Lingling in Jiangxia, but the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and the young master Zhuge who had just crossed the Yangtze River had to cancel his plan to go to Jiangxia, because Cao Cao had conquered the south!

In order to regain face, and more importantly, to recapture Xiangfan and remove the threat of Zhuge Zhan's troops to Wancheng and Xudu, Cao Cao transferred 40,000 soldiers from Hebei, plus 50,000 garrisons stationed in Xudu, and organized into an army of 90,000, which was divided into three routes to attack Xiangfan.

For a time, wolf smoke erupted in the north of Jingzhou, and the beacon fire was in full swing. The vanguard of the Cao army, Zhang Jaw, marched quickly, and in less than two days, he had already drunk Ma Han water and was approaching Xiangyang.

The Xiangyang guard general of the Jingzhou army hurriedly sent a messenger Pegasus to Jiangling to report the emergency, and the news reached Jiangling, and the Nanjun Taishou Mifang who stayed in Jiangling was shocked and hurriedly sent the messenger Pegasus to the south to report to Zhuge Zhan. When Zhuge Zhan got this letter, he had just crossed the Yangtze River and was about to go to Jiangxia to take revenge, but now the plan was all in vain, because someone wanted to seek revenge on him.

Zhuge Zhan rode on top of the snow, opened a letter of eight hundred miles from Xiangyang, Fancheng, and Jiangling, and his mood became heavier and heavier, this time Cao Cao was obviously desperate.

"Zhan'er, how's it going?" Xu Shu and Zhuge Zhan walked side by side and asked.

Zhuge Zhan handed the battle report in his hand to Xu Shu, sighed, and said, "Cao Cao is here to fight hard!" ”

Xu Shu took the battle report, read it one by one, nodded, and said: "You flooded the Seventh Army, injured the vitality of Cao Jun, captured Yu Ban, greatly damaged Cao Cao's face, occupied Xiangfan, and threatened Xu Du and Wancheng, Cao Cao can't help but fight with you!" ”

Zhuge Zhan nodded and said, "Having said that, we don't have many soldiers and horses in our hands now, but we have to fight on both sides, and the situation is very unfavorable to me!" ”

Xu Shu put together the battle report, stroked his beard, and said, "Ask Chengdu for help!" We won't be able to rely on us this time! ”

Hearing this, Zhuge Zhan nodded, and said to the sunspot beside him: "Heizi, the flying pigeon has reported to Chengdu, Cao's army is moving south, and our army is suffering from the enemy, please send reinforcements to Chengdu quickly!" ”

"No!" Kuroko took the order and left.

Xu Shu looked at the north, his face was worried, and after a long time, he said, "Then let's go north to Xiangfan now?" ”

Zhuge Zhan smiled slightly and said, "I want to go to Xiangfan, but it's not 'us', it's you!" ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he was very surprised, "I'm going to Xiangfan?" What about you? ”

Zhuge Zhan pointed in the direction of Jiangxia and said, "I have to go to Jiangxia!" ”

When Xu Shu heard this, his eyebrows tightened, and he said, "You still want to go to Wu Jun to fight hard?" ”

Zhuge Zhan shook his head with a smile and said, "I'll negotiate peace." ”

"Peace?" Xu Shu was stunned when he heard this.

Zhuge Zhan nodded and said: "Yes, negotiate peace, Jiangxia can't fight anymore, because we don't have the strength to start a war with Sun Cao at the same time, I need time, even if it's only a short month!" ”

When Xu Shu heard this, his brows stretched, he nodded, and said, "I understand, you want to use the strategy of delaying the army to temporarily retreat the troops of Jiangdong, yes or no?" ”

Zhuge Zhan nodded and said with a smile: "That's half right!" ”

"Halfway there? Which other half? Xu Shu asked.

Zhuge Zhan looked at the north for a long time and said, "In my opinion, before we have eliminated Cao Cao, we should not provoke Sun Quan!" But it's a pity that Sun Quan doesn't think so. ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he sighed and said, "You've got to the point!" ”

Billowing smoke and dust rolled up on the official road to the north, which was the reinforcements from Jingzhou to the north, and his commander was Xu Shu. So at this time, on the official road to Jiangxia in the east, more than a dozen horsemen whipped away from the dust, and the galloping horses' hooves stirred up a burst of smoke and dust on the official road, but they quickly returned to calm.

A few days later, Jiangxia City Head.

"Why are you here?" When Guan Ping saw Zhuge Zhan, he almost couldn't believe his eyes.

Zhuge Zhan smiled slightly and asked, "Why can't I come?" ”

Guan Ping's thinking was a little messy, and he thought about it for a long time before he figured it out, and said, "It's not right! Cao Jun went south, Xiangfan was in a hurry, you kid should go to Xiangfan now, why did you run away from Jiangxia? ”

Young Master Zhuge grabbed Guan Ping's hand, looked at Guan Ping affectionately, and said, "Brother Guan, I miss you!" ”

When Guan Ping heard this, he suddenly felt a cold hair standing on his body, a gust of yin wind blew through his ears, and he pulled his hand out of Young Master Zhuge 's magic grasp, wiped it on his robe in disgust, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, get down to business!" ”

Young Master Zhuge smiled, restrained his face, and said, "I see Lu Xun, you can help me arrange it!" ”

When Guan Ping heard this, he asked suspiciously, "What are you doing when you see Lu Xun?" ”

Young Master Zhuge pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Give a gift!" ”

The more he listened, the more confused he became, Guan Ping's eyebrows tightened, he shook his head, and said, "Why can't I understand a word of what you said?" ”

Young Master Zhuge nodded with a smile and said, "Actually, there's nothing I don't understand!" Cao's army is going south, and the momentum is huge, and we don't have the strength to fight two enemies at the same time, so I'm going to make peace with Lu Xun and exchange Jiangxia City for two months to defeat Cao Cao! ”

Guan Ping was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized and said, "So that's the case!" ”

Guan Ping, who thought he would oppose fiercely, actually behaved so calmly, which surprised Young Master Zhuge and asked with a smile, "You don't object?" ”

When Guan Ping heard this, he shook his head and said, "I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf, I understand this!" ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard Guan Ping say this, his tense heartstrings when he came all the way were finally loosened, and he patted Guan Ping on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I promise that one day, we will take Jiangxia City back!" ”

Guan Ping held Young Master Zhuge tightly and said, "It's enough to have your words!" I'll arrange what happened to Lu Xun! ”

The Wu camp is just outside the city, and Lu Xun is now the commander of this Wu army, which may not have been expected by Lu Xun himself. Ten days ago, Lu Xun rushed to Chaisang with Wu Hou's edict and announced Wu Hou's order, at first Han Dang and other veterans were still in a mood, but Lu Xun had Sun Quan's sword in his hand, and the generals were helpless. Outside the city of Chaisang, Lu Xun scattered and reorganized the remnants of the twenty or thirty thousand Wu army, and after some rest, the Wu army finally recovered its morale.

Outside Jiangxia City, in Lu Xun's tent, Lu Xun was dressed as a Confucian student, and the information in his hand made Lu Xun's eyebrows tighten, and the generals under the tent all looked at each other when they saw this, not knowing what bad things had happened.

After a while, Lu Xun finally spoke, "Everyone, Cao Jun is going south!" ”
