After staying for one night, Wang Baoyu never came to Guan Ting again, for fear that he would not be able to control it and cause the child's debts again.

Guan Ting expressed her understanding, or that word, wait! is more gentle and considerate to Wang Baoyu than before.

After staying in this quaint town for half a month, Liu Bei came back with news, first praising Wang Baoyu, Zhang Fei and others for their great achievements, and then arranging for Liu Du to continue to serve as the Taishou of Lingling.

It seems that the Lingling City is returned to its original owner, and it is busy in vain, but Liu Bei has attached a condition: Liu Du's son, Liu Xian, is young and promising, and has a good reputation.

What do you mean? That is, Liu Du's son Liu Xian must follow Zhang Fei back to Xiakou and serve under Liu Bei's account.

In modern parlance, it is the taking of a hostage.

Liu Du also understands this reason, but he doesn't dare to say anything, it is already a great luck to be reinstated, if he doesn't show some sincerity, can Liu Bei be trusted?

Liu Du agreed to show his loyalty, and wrote a letter of thanks, on which a few tears of gratitude fell, or it may be a cold sweat, thank you for the promotion of the dog, the Liu family has been loyal to the lord for generations. Now that his son is in Liu Bei's hands, Liu Du can only be loyal in the future, and he will never dare to disagree again!

Perhaps in order to be more secure, Liu Bei ordered Xing Daorong to follow Zhang Fei back to Xiakou to listen to the dispatch, and transferred Guiyang's general Chen Yinglai to assist Liu Du in defending the city and managing military affairs.

Zhang Fei and Xing Daorong are like brothers these days, so they naturally have no objections to Liu Bei's arrangement. Just when Wang Baoyu and the others were about to collect their troops and go back together, Liu Bei came with a new order, which was to arrange for Guan Ting to take 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack Wuling.

"Third brother, will this work? Although Guan Ting's martial arts are high, she is not enough to be able to take charge on her own. Wang Baoyu asked Zhang Feidao with a frowning face.

"Hehe, the fourth brother thinks too much. As far as I know, there is no general in Wuling, and the eldest brother is making Tingmei meritorious. Zhang Fei said with a smile.

Oh, Wang Baoyu suddenly realized, but he was still a little worried: "I always feel that I don't have a bottom in my heart, in case there are some other changes along the way, if the rescue is not timely, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"This is not difficult, you and Jin Qiang should follow along. There are four younger brothers, take that Wuling, and flick your fingers. Zhang Fei smiled and knocked Wang Baoyu's chest with the back of his hand.

"How can I be so powerful!"

"The fourth brother is too modest, haha, the third brother is optimistic about you, maybe he will be a marquis in the future, and then the third brother will rely on the fourth brother." Zhang Fei laughed, no matter how you look at this smile, he is a little gloating......

Wang Baoyu is very helpless, every time there is a war, Liu Bei will let Wang Baoyu, a fuwa, follow, although this time he did not name names, but Liu Beisheng has a pair of fiery eyes, and he has long seen that the relationship between Wang Baoyu and Guan Ting is a little ambiguous.

Therefore, judging from Wang Baoyu's temperament of pity and cherishing jade, most of them will take the initiative to follow. Hehe, so that you won't complain about being the eldest brother and not feeling sorry for the younger brother.

Guan Ting was very excited about Liu Bei's arrangement, and obviously regarded this as a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions. After all, she also shared the bed with Guan Ting, Wang Baoyu was not at ease, and finally decided not to go back to Xiakou first, but to help her go to take Wuling first.

So, Wang Baoyu and Guan Ting led 3,000 soldiers and horses, separated from Zhang Fei outside Lingling City, and went straight to Wuling. Ma Liang also has to follow, of course, the main purpose is to make contributions. Wang Baoyu didn't object, this kid is very scheming, and he is also a capable helper.

At a place still a hundred miles away from Wuling, Ma Liangjian set up camp here, waiting for a proper discussion on how to outwit Wuling before continuing the march.

The group all stopped, and the shutdown was also relaxed, indicating that there was no pressure in this battle.

"Ting'er, before you succeed, you must not slack off." Wang Baoyu took the opportunity to remind.

"Well, listen to you." Guan Ting looked at Wang Baoyu with affection, hey, goosebumps rose again, Wang Baoyu wanted to say a few words, but when she saw her like this, she made an excuse to leave.

Let's not talk about how Wang Baoyu took Wuling, and then talk about Jiangdong Zhou Yu's group, which is still stuck on the issue of taking Nanjun.

The city of Yiling had been burned by fire and was in ruins, but from a strategic point of view, Cao Hong and Niu Jin still repaired the city, and the garrison here once again posed a threat to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was busy for a long time, not to mention the loss of the soldiers, and he didn't get any benefits at all, which made him anxious, his throat was swollen, and his voice was very hoarse.

Zhuge Liang added fuel to the fire at this time and sent a letter to Zhou Yu, asking about the situation of attacking Nanjun, the letter said that he heard that it was very difficult for the Metropolitan Governor to attack Nanjun, and if he really couldn't capture it, he Zhuge Liang could help, and it would be a piece of cake to take Nanjun.

Zhou Yu became more and more annoyed, he thought about it, and still made a decision, since Nanjun couldn't take it for a while, then go to Xiangyang first, and break one of Cao Ren's arms first.

"Dadu Governor, don't attack Xiangyang lightly." When Lu Su heard this, he hurriedly stopped.

"Zijing, if you are so timid, when will you be able to take down Nanjun?" Zhou Yu said unhappily.

"Xiangyang is not as good as Yiling, the city is tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Xiahoudun is by no means an idle person, but he is afraid of being burdened." Lu Su said.

"What about the respect of the son?" Zhou Yu asked.

"It's better to return to Jiangdong first, help the lord take Heqi first, and then go back and take Nanjun is not too late." Lu Su built yì road.

"Nanjun has been besieged for many days, and it is easy to get it, if you give up today, you will definitely give up all your efforts, I have made up my mind, and I don't need to say more." Zhou Yu insisted.

"The Grand Duke!"

"Stand down!"

Lu Su had no choice but to resign, his mood was old and depressed, and he sighed for a long time, and he felt in a trance that Jiangdong had been dragged into a protracted stalemate war.

In order to take Xiangyang as much as possible, Zhou Yu ordered the veteran Cheng Pu to continue to trap Nanjun, he personally commanded 10,000 troops, Gan Ning was the vanguard, Xu Sheng and Ding Feng were the deputy generals, and quietly left Nanjun and marched in the direction of Xiangyang.

In order not to be discovered by Cao Ren and launch a surprise attack on Xiangyang, Zhou Yu led his troops to take as small a path as possible, and the route he chose happened to be the route that Liu Bei fled back then.

Two days later, Zhou Yu led his troops to the foot of a high mountain and asked his subordinates, "What is this?" ”

"Back to the governor, this is Jingshan." An adjutant general hurriedly replied.

"How far is it from Xiangyang?"

"Less than two hundred miles."

"Okay, march overnight and strive to reach Xiangyang City tomorrow." Zhou Yu ordered.

However, as soon as Zhou Yu's words fell, a whirlwind suddenly appeared on the ground, coiling around the flagpole, and it swept his signature flag into the air, falling flickeringly, just over his head.
