Zhou Yu showed a thoughtful look, "Hanzhong? "Do they want to launch a counterattack in Hanzhong?" Sun Jian said angrily: "I haven't done it to him yet, but he did it to me first!" Zhou Yu pondered: "At present, there are three legions in Han, namely the Tiger Wing Army, the Blue Wolf Army, and the Pingnan Army, plus the War Bear Army, it is four legions and 400,000 heavy soldiers!" Our army has only 200,000 troops in front of Hanzhong, which is difficult to match, and we must immediately increase our troops! Sun Jian said: "Then mobilize reinforcements from Nanyang, Xiangyang, and Chaisang!" ”

Zhou Yu frowned and said: "For the sake of such a heavy action, we should be cautious, and order the detailed confirmation of the previous information, and the garrisons in various places will not move for the time being!" ”

Sun Jian asked, "Gongjin is worried that Lu Bu deliberately released false news?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded, frowned, and said: "Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang under Lu Bu are both resourceful, it's hard to guarantee that they won't play tricks!" ”

Sun Jian nodded, "Just do what Gong Jin wants." ”

Jiangdong Xizuo, who was lurking in Hanzhong, crowded in the crowd, watching the commanders of the War Bear Legion enter the city, and saw Zhuge Liang and others personally greet them at the gate of the city. Hasaku deliberately asked the middle-aged man next to him: "Uncle, is this the army?" The middle-aged man naturally didn't think that the person next to him would be Jiangdong's spy, so he pointed to the flag and replied, "Didn't you see the flag?" It's the Warrior Bears! I heard that I have been staying in Guanzhong, but I didn't expect to come to our Hanzhong! The Spy nodded. After looking at it for a few more moments, he quietly disappeared into the crowd.

Soon after, the spy appeared outside the city, wearing a hat and carrying a load of firewood up a hill. Putting down his burden, sitting down to rest, looking into the distance, he saw a new large military camp appearing in Chengbei, a large army was moving in, and the people and horses were noisy and dusty. The spy was taken aback, and after taking a closer look at the flag, he picked up his burden and went down the hill.

A few days later, Sun Jian, who was in Xiangyang, received a report from the Hanzhong spies confirming that the War Bear Legion had entered Hanzhong. Before that, Sun Jian also got an information that the hussars who were originally transferred to Yumen Pass were being transferred to Hanzhong.

Sun Jian frowned, "Judging from this information, Lu Bu obviously wants to recapture Shangyong City!" ”

Zhou Yu frowned and nodded, "It should be so." Capture Shangyong to improve the defensive posture of Hanzhong. ”

Sun Jian asked, "Did Lu Bu discover our intentions?" ”

Zhou Yu thought for a while, "It's possible, but this point doesn't matter anymore!" ”

Sun Jian said in a deep voice: "Since Lu Bu wants to have a big battle with us in Hanzhong, then I will accompany him to the end!" The herald ordered all armies to immediately assemble with Shang Yong and prepare for battle. At the same time, Zhang Zhao was ordered to supervise the grain and grass. ”

Zhou Yu hugged his fists and promised, and then said: "While all the armies are gathering together, all key points must also strengthen their precautions to prevent accidents!" ”

Sun Jian nodded, "Huang Gai continues to guard Nanyang. Cheng Puzhen is the first to open the door. Jiang Qin sat in Xiangyang to deal with all parties. ”

Sun Jian's side immediately took action, and sent troops from all over the country to gather with Shangyong, and the waterway army marched hand in hand, and the logistics baggage was endless. And at this moment, Zhuge Liang made a move, and the army drove out of Hanzhong and killed all the way up the Han River. The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

At the same time, an army without a banner was quietly coming to Wuguan under the leadership of the general Zang Ba, and met with Huang Zhong's troops who arrived the day before at Wuguan.

Huang Zhong and Zang Ba met, exchanged briefly, and decided to attack immediately according to the established plan, and at the same time send fast horses to Luoyang to send a message! On that day, the 200,000 army did not make any rest and retreated, and left the eastern part of the country and entered Nanyang. A day later, Zhang Lang, who received the news, personally commanded the Longtao army from Luoyang to the south and attacked Nanyang with Huang Zhong and Zangba.

Sun Jian led the generals to gather 400,000 land and water troops in Nanyang, preparing for a fierce battle with the army led by Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang led the three major legions of 300,000 horses to the vicinity of Shangyong, camped in the back of the mountains by the Han River, and then ordered the cavalry to be on guard, the infantry stepped up to dig a trench to arrange the rejection of horses, several miles of fences, 200,000 soldiers were in full swing, and a camp was built in one night that was set by several layers of fences, and there was a circle of trenches up to three meters deep between the fences, and the trenches in the trenches were covered with horse-repellent pickets, and there were drawbridges on the trenches for people and horses to enter and exit.

Zhou Yu was a little surprised when he saw such a situation, it stands to reason why Lu Bujun, as the attacking side, had to put so much effort into arranging such a strong field defense? At the same time, Zhou Yu was also amazed by the efficiency and level of the other party's civil engineering, he didn't expect the other party to be able to build such a strong defensive camp in one night.

"Lord, it seems that Lu Bujun does not plan to attack the city, but seems to be preparing to hold on!" Zhou Yu said to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian pondered: "It's better to send a naval army around and attack Hanzhong directly, and see how they deal with it!" ”

Zhou Yu nodded.

An officer suddenly rushed up and reported: "My lord, just now dozens of big ships full of sand and gravel suddenly came down from the upstream, and drove to the vicinity of the front, but they all took the initiative to sink!" ”

The two were shocked. Zhou Yu frowned and said, "Zhuge Village Master expected that we would attack from the waterway, so he blocked the channel by boat!" ”

Sun Jian couldn't help but scold: "This Zhuge Liang is really hateful!" ”

Zhou Yu looked at the barracks of Lu Bujun outside the city, and for a while he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was being sold in the other party's gourd. Chao Sun Jian hugged his fists and said, "My lord, it's better to send an army to attack and test the other party's reaction!" ”

Sun Jian nodded, and immediately ordered Sun Ce beside him: "Ce'er, immediately attack with 10,000 horsemen." Remember, don't fight. Sun Ce clenched his fists and ran down the city wall.

After a while, Sun Ce led 10,000 horses out of the city and came to the front of the Lu Bu military camp. ”

The war drums in the camp rumbled, the gate of the fortress was wide open, and Ma Chao, who was holding an iron horse lance in silver armor, led five thousand iron horsemen to rush out of the camp. With his back against the barracks and lined up in the battle formation, Ma Chao rode his horse to the front of the army and said contemptuously: "No one dares to shout here!" Do you recognize Xiliang Ma Chao? ”

Sun Ce sneered: "It's just one of Lu Bu's dogs!" ”

Ma Chao was furious and slapped the horse to take Sun Ce directly. Sun Ce was not afraid and jumped on his horse to meet the battle. The two horsemen fought between the two armies. Two horses, two fierce generals, rushing back and forth for several rounds, then entangled in a vicious battle, Ma Chao's hand horse lance flew up and down, like a dragon flying and phoenix dancing, roaring again and again, like a thunderstorm; Sun Jian did not show weakness, the spear in his hand drew out a cold light, and the opponent's horse lance kept exchanging blows in mid-air with a deafening sound! The war drums of both sides beat loudly, and the soldiers on both sides were enthusiastic, and the roars soared into the sky.
