Lü Meng had originally surrendered Changsha and Guiyang counties, and was preparing to attack Lingling County, when he suddenly received a letter from Sun Quan. Seeing that Liu Bei had arrived in Jingzhou, Guan Yu led the troops again, he frowned and hid the letter.

In the evening, Lü Meng convened a meeting of the generals as usual, and did not go to support Lu Su the next day, but put on the appearance of attacking Lingling with all his strength, and surrounded Lingling City.

After besieging the city, Lu Meng said to a man who had a good relationship with Hao Pu and called Deng Xuan: "Hao Zitai wants to defend the city loyally like other loyal people, which is right, but unfortunately he doesn't know the timing." Now that General Zuo is in Hanzhong, he has been surrounded by Xiahou Yuan, and Guan Yu is in Nanjun, and he is also surrounded by our lord General Gongsun, they can't take care of their heads and feet now, how can they take care of this side of the matter?

You have seen my army, and they will attack this city with all their might, but in a few days, the city will be broken. I respect Hao Zitai's loyal behavior very much, but I heard that his mother is over 100 years old, and it is too miserable to be affected by him in vain and beheaded all over the house. I guess he doesn't know it's so bad out there, you go talk to him, don't let him be stupid again. ”

Deng Xuan then went into the city to see Hao Pu and told him that Liu Bei was trapped in Hanzhong, Guan Yu was also besieged in Nanjun, and there was no hope for rescue. Hao Pu saw the heavy soldiers besieging the city outside, listened to Deng Xuan's words, thought twice, and decided to surrender.

When Lü Meng saw Hao Pu coming out, he personally greeted him, took him by the hand and got off the boat with him, and then took out Sun Quan's letter to show him. When Hao Pu saw the letter, he was eager to find a crack in the ground and get in. Because Liu Bei was not surrounded in Hanzhong at all, but returned to Jingzhou. And Guan Yu's army was also close to Yiyang, confronting Lu Su, and Lu Meng had no time to attack the city.

But he has already surrendered, and it is useless to regret it now. Lü Meng left Sun He to guard the city as the Lingling Tai, and he led the army to Yiyang to support Lu Su.

Lu Su led the troops to confront Guan Yu, which was also a headache. It was his idea to persuade Sun Quan to give Jingzhou to Liu Bei, but now that the two sides are fighting, he feels that he has no face.

This time. Guan Yu asked Lu Su to discuss. Let's see if this can be resolved peacefully. After all, the great enemy of both Sun and Liu is Cao Cao, and they are working hard here, which will only make Cao Cao see jokes.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this story tells Guan Yunchang going to the meeting alone. Lu Su was speechless. Historically, the opposite has happened. The person who went to the meeting alone was Lu Su, and the person who said Guan Yu was speechless was also Lu Su.

When Lu Su's generals saw that Lu Su was going to go to the meeting alone, they didn't let him go. I'm afraid that Guan Yu will hurt him. Lu Su said: "Today's matter, it should be made clear, it is Liu Bei who is sorry for us, and the two armies are facing each other, and the victory or defeat is not divided, I don't believe that Guan Yu dares to kill me first!" ”

So Lu Su went to the meeting alone and accused Guan Yu of not returning the three counties. Guan Yu said: "When Cao Cao was fought at the beginning, General Zuo led the troops to fight bloodily, and he also made great contributions, how could he not give up a piece of land to you?" ”

Lu Su said: "That's not the case, right? When I met Liu Yuzhou, there were only a few hundred people left under Yuzhou, and when I saw Cao Cao's army in the northern army, I was so worried that I wanted to die or live, and I had to go to Nantou Cangwu to guard Wu Ju, and it was the lord who saw that he had nowhere to return, so he gave him land and let him feed his subordinates.

And what did Liu Yuzhou do? We are going to fight Yizhou, he blocked us and didn't let us go, saying that he would not lose his trust in the world, but he went to destroy Liu Zhang, and he didn't return us to Jingzhou. Even an old farmer can't do such a treacherous thing! ”

Guan Yu also knew that Liu Bei ignored this matter and was silent.

At this time, in the north, Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard that Sun Quan and Liu Bei were fighting. He was not ready to go to Sun Quan this time, but attacked Zhang Lu in the west and knocked on the door of Yizhou.

Liu Bei heard that Cao Cao was going to fight Zhang Lu, how could he not be afraid, and Sun Quan was also afraid when he heard that Cao Cao was transferring troops. Therefore, the two sides quickly negotiated peace, with the Xiangjiang River as the boundary, Jingzhou in the middle, Changsha, Jiangxia, and Guiyang to the east of Sun Quan, and Nanjun, Lingling, and Wuling to the west of Liu Bei. Isn't Jingzhou seven counties? Where did that county go? The seventh Nanyang County is still in Cao Cao's hands.

In fact, Cao Cao not only has Nanyang County, but also Xiangyang in the north of Nanjun and several cities in the north of Jiangxia, all of which are in his hands. The whole Jingzhou, like the world, is divided into three parts by Cao, Liu, and Sun.

Cao Cao's westward expedition to Zhang Lu went, Liu Bei went back to Yizhou for defense, and Sun Quan would not be idle. He immediately led his army north to Hefei, preparing to take advantage of Cao Cao's army to go west to steal peaches.

Cao Cao had just pacified Zhang Lu and got Hanzhong, but he didn't expect a fire in the backyard and Sun Quan attacked, so he immediately prepared to go to the east to support.

At this time, Sima Yi said: "Liu Bei captured Liu Zhang with treacherous tactics, and the people of Yizhou were not attached, but they went to Jingzhou to fight with Sun Quan, this opportunity should not be missed." Now that we have Hanzhong County, the whole Yizhou is shaken, and if we continue to march into the army, it will inevitably fall apart! ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "People are bitter and contented, and they have Long, and they look back at Shu?" ”

Delong Wangshu's words were said by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. When the Eastern Han Dynasty was first established, Liu Xiu pacified the hustle and bustle in the Guanlong area, and wanted to conquer Gongsun Shu in Sichuan, so he wrote a letter to Cen Peng, a favorite general, laughing at himself for not knowing how to be content. Of course, in the end, Liu Xiu broke through Gongsun Shu and unified the country, but Cen Peng died in the hands of Gongsun Shu.

Liu Ye said: "Liu Bei is a masterpiece, there is a degree and it is late, just got the land of Shu, and the Shu people haven't taken him seriously. Now that Hanzhong has been pacified by our army, the Shu people are in shock and panic, and their hearts are naturally towards us. With the master's ability, and a little more pressure on them, they will definitely be invincible and invincible. If we delay the time, wait for them to slow down, Zhuge Liang is good at governing the country, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei bravely crown the three armies, it will be difficult for us to deal with it. ”

Cao Cao thought about it, but he was still worried about Sun Quan in the east, and he didn't dare to fight Liu Bei. Seven days later, the people who came to surrender in Shu said that the defenders there heard that Cao Cao had conquered Hanzhong, and they bombed the camp dozens of times in one day, and the generals guarding the pass and the city beheaded countless people, but it still didn't work.

Cao Cao immediately asked Liu Ye urgently: "I'll fight Liu Bei now, what do you think?" ”

Liu Ye shook his head and said, "It's been so many days, and those soldiers have settled down, and it's useless to go any further." ”

Cao Cao sighed. Go east as planned to resist Sun Quan. On the Hanzhong side, Xiahou Yuan was the general of the capital, and Zhang He, Xu Huang and other troops were led to defend this place, and the people of the land were in charge of Du Zheng.

Cao Cao, who was far away in Hanzhong, did not have time to return to the east, and Sun Quan had already led 100,000 people to surround Hefei. At this time, Cao Cao was requisitioned by the heavy troops, and the defenders of Hefei were only 7,000 people.

In the past, Cao Cao led hundreds of thousands of people to fight Sun Quan, but this time it was finally Sun Quan's turn to crush the opposite 7,000 with 100,000, so Sun Quan was very happy and determined to win.

And who is the defender of Hefei at this time? It's Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin.

Before Cao Cao's expedition to Zhang Lu. Leave a tip. instructed Zhang Liao and the others: "If the enemy dares to come, open it and take a look." ”

Now that the enemy is coming, Zhang Liao and the others immediately opened this trick bag to see what kind of clever plan Cao Cao had foreshadowed. It can break the enemy's army of 100,000.

But after the tips. Zhang Liao and the others now have only one sentence in it: "If Sun Quan calls." Generals Zhang and Li went to war, and General Le defended the city. ”

"I'm rubbing, what a trick is this. It's better not to say it, and use him to stay? The generals immediately cursed.

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said: "The meaning of the lord should be that he is on an expedition, waiting for the rescue, Hefei City has been broken by the enemy." Therefore, this clever plan refers to taking advantage of the enemy's large army to lead the army to counterattack, bend its momentum, and reassure the people. In this way, the enemy's spirit has been lost, and the city can be defended. ”

Le Jin and the others blinked, just such an inconsequential sentence, Zhang Liao was able to make such a divine interpretation, this sycophant is a god!

Zhang Liao saw that everyone didn't speak, and said angrily: "The opportunity for success or failure is to fight here." If you don't fight, I'll fight myself! ”

Li Dian has always been at odds with Zhang Liao, but when he saw that Zhang Liao's subordinates were so small and dared to fight, he was immediately moved by Zhang Liao. He said: "This is a major national matter, how can I not fight, I am just thinking about your words." Since the lord has commanded us, let's go into battle together! ”

So Zhang Liao gathered soldiers who dared to fight overnight and got 800 people. Zhang Liao knew in his heart that Sun Quan's 100,000 people were coming, and these 800 people went out to fight, and there must be an end of no return. So he killed several bulls and had a good dinner with everyone.

The next day, Zhang Liao and Li Dian led 800 men to rush towards Sun Quan's army. Zhang Liao himself rushed to the front, killed dozens of people, beheaded Sun Quan's two generals, and shouted his name and rushed to Sun Quan's command.

Sun Quan didn't expect that he would bring an army of 100,000 to besiege the city, and Zhang Liao dared to rush out of the city to fight, and he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. Since his soldiers were scattered and besieged, there were not many soldiers in front of him. Seeing Zhang Liao rushing closer and closer, he turned around and ran, ran to a high slope, and defended himself with a halberd in his hand. Zhang Liao stood below and shouted loudly, telling Sun Quan to come down and fight to the death.

Of course, Sun Quan did not dare to fight a decisive battle with Zhang Liao, who was like a killing god, but when he saw that Zhang Liao's soldiers were small, he immediately commanded his subordinates to surround them.

When Zhang Liao saw that the enemy was surrounding, he immediately led his troops to break through and rushed out of the encirclement with dozens of people. ”

Zhang Liao saw that the others were still in the encirclement, so he led his troops back into the encirclement and rescued everyone before retreating to the city together. Although he only went out to kill a circle and did not kill many enemies, this battle was fought from morning to noon, and Sun Quan's heavy soldiers and horses failed to win Zhang Liao, and Wu's army was exhausted.

Zhang Liao led his troops back to the city, and the defenders of Hefei saw that the general was so brave and morale was greatly boosted, so they worked hard to repair the city wall and defend the city. Sun Quan besieged it for more than ten days, and the current city could not be captured, so he could only retreat.

However, Sun Quan made a serious mistake when he retreated, that is, he himself did not withdraw first, but walked at the back of the line. This kind of personal decision-making matter, it is absolutely no problem to let Cao Cao and Sun Ce do it, but Sun Quan is not this material.

Zhang Liao saw that Sun Quan was at the rear, and the army had crossed the river, but he hadn't crossed the river yet, so he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately led his cavalry out of the city to assault and surround Sun Quan.

Gan Ning, Lü Meng and others attacked Zhang Liao and immediately fought with the enemy, while Ling Tong led the left and right to Fusun Quan to break out of the encirclement, and then went back to fight with Zhang Liao. Ling Tong's cronies on the left and right were all killed in this battle, and he was also seriously injured, and it is estimated that Sun Quan had run away before retreating.

When Sun Quan fled, he rode a horse to the bridge, the bridge deck was completely ruined, there was not a single board, fortunately there was a eunuch named Gu Li, let Sun Quan ride the horse, he took the whip and whipped it in the back, and the horse jumped from the bridge in pain. On the other side of the bridge, He Qi led 3,000 people to welcome Sun Quan, so that Sun Quan could pick up a life.

After Sun Quan fled back, he drank and suppressed the fright, He Qi and the others cried together: "As the master of the people, the Supreme should act cautiously, today's incident, I almost died, and we are all frightened, please remember this lesson for the rest of your life!" ”

Sun Quan personally stepped forward to wipe He Qi's tears and said: "I will not only write this on my belt and remind myself at all times, but also remember it in my heart and never forget it for the rest of my life." (To be continued!)
