Chen Xiu pulled the side army to open, but it was the soldiers who divided the road. One of them, led by Pang De's "Tian Qi, went east to attack Jiangxia County west of Hanshui. This place is flat. It is most suitable for cavalry, and it is naturally best to be led by Pound to attack. And after these battles, there were naturally 50,000 recruits led by Xu Rong to take over the defense.

If Pang De takes down all the places west of the Han River and north of the Yangtze River along the way, then he can follow Cao Cao's example and let Ganning's navy station troops at the mouth of the three rivers to attract the attention of the Jiangdong navy. You have to know the red cliff outside the mouth of the three rivers. It is the shortest distance to cross the river, and Pang Detun's troops are here, so they can't help the Jiangdong side not to be surprised, so as to contain a part of the Jiangdong naval army.

The latter two armies first crossed the Yangtze River from Jiangling and entered Jingnan, and then divided the troops. Among them, the main force was led by Zhang Xiu, who attacked Yuzhang County from Changsha. This way is to cooperate with Pang De's partial division, and attack Yuzhang County from the north and south respectively, and the goal is to meet the division in Chaisang.

The other way was led by Huang Zhong to continue south into Guiyang County, and then to the east to take the south of Guild County. In addition to this journey, Zhang Xiu has also sent someone to inform Zhang Ren, who has completed the conquest of the Indochina Peninsula. Let him lead the army to the north, attack the membership county from the direction of Jiaozhou, and contract with Huang Zhong's army to obtain membership.

The three-way army converges with Zhang Yiyi. A total of four roads to take Jiangdong, I have to say that Zhang Xiu has made use of all the geographical factors that can be used. However, since from both sides of Changsha and Jiaoyang to the east, they have to pass through many mountain ranges, so the march will not be too fast. And Zhang Xiu also had already arranged for this, Wang Ping and Zhang Su, who had been named by Zhang Xiu as the Wudang Flying Army and the Wuqian Flying Army, followed Zhang Xiu to attack Yuzhang County, while the 10,000 barbarians under the Wutu Bone Department and the 10,000 Wuxi barbarians led by Shamoke attacked all the way with Huang Zhong. With the help of these 30,000 vine armor brute soldiers, it is much easier to cross the mountains and mountains.

In addition to the brute soldiers, Zhang Xiu also had 20,000 elite Breaking Front Battalions and 30,000 elite infantry of the Yizhou Corps, and Huang Zhong also had 20,000 elite infantry of the Yizhou Corps along the way. Counting the 30,000 troops led by Zhang Ren. There are 140,000 troops south of the Yangtze River alone, which shows that Zhang Xiu is definitely determined to win this time!

Not to mention for the time being, Zhang Xiu's side dispatched troops to attack Jiangdong. Here under the city of Xuchang, there is a one-armed man and a man in tattered clothes leading a white horse covered with mud into the city.

The one-armed man was holding a large sword, and the other man in tattered clothes also had a long sword hanging from his waist. When the garrison saw the two of them, they immediately stopped them, and one of the chiefs shouted, "Who are you waiting for?" Why did you enter the city with a sword in your hand? Is there a way? ”

Although the chief asked three questions in a row, just looking at the posture of leading the military cart and pointing a spear at the two, he didn't need to think about it to know that the chief was not worried about the two.

At this time, the one-armed man's brows wrinkled unconsciously, and a cold snort came out of his mouth and nose. At the same time, the end of the handle of the broadsword slammed into the ground, and there was a muffled "bang".

That's the best thing to do. His eyes froze, and he shouted: "Tell you, this is Xuchang City, don't come nonsense!" ”

The one-armed man was threatened, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to make a move. At this time, the obedient man behind him grabbed the one-armed man's hand and said in a low voice, "Junhou." Don't be impulsive! With that, the man took a step forward. He unsheathed the sword, handed it to the chief, and said, "You sent this sword to the mansion of Lord Hou Cheng of Anxiang, and said that your old friend came to see him, but he was blocked from the city." ”

The chief heard. Surprised. The An Xianghou mentioned by this man was the first to vote for Cao Cao's convincing, and Cheng Yu was also. This person has a very high status in Cao Ying. Shi Chang was afraid that these two people were really Cheng Yu's old friends, so he ordered his subordinates to watch them closely and personally run away with their swords.

Half an hour later, I saw Cheng Yu hurrying to the city gate, and saw that the soldiers were still pointing knives and guns at the two, and shouted: "Stop!" ”

When the soldiers saw this, they immediately put down their swords and guns. Cheng Yu came to the two, and the man who gave the sword to the other party said, "Yuan Zhi, why are you here?" After this person finished speaking, he looked at the one-armed man on the side, but he felt a little familiar. The man whispered, "He's Guan Junhou!" ”

However, it was Guan Yu and Xu Shu who escaped in Nanjun and came to Xuchang after several hardships. At this time, the two of them were lost and came here alone. As for their homes, they were all sent to Chang'an by Zhang Xiu.

After Cheng Yu heard this, his pupils shrank, and he was surprised: "What's wrong with Yun Chang's left arm?"

Xu Shu said in a low voice: "It's a long story, there are a lot of people here" After speaking, he glanced at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu patted his head and said, "But the old man lost his temper, and he came to the old man's house first." After speaking, he led the way, and Xu Shu and Guan Yu followed Cheng Yu into the city.

Why did you say that Cheng Yu recognized Xu Shu when he saw Xu Shu's sword, it is actually that there is some relationship between Cheng Yu and Xu Shu. There is one person who has to be mentioned here, and this person is Xu Shu's mentor Sima Hui.

Long before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xun Yu's uncle Xun Shuang opened a academy in Yingchuan to give lectures. This Yingchuan Academy has produced a lot of talents, and in history, these talents were active in the period from Dong Zhuo's chaos to the establishment of the Three Kingdoms. Most of them voted for Cao Cao. The most outstanding ones are naturally Guo Jia, Xi Zhong, Xun Yu, and Xun You. There are also Chen Qun and others who are slightly inferior. And except for the students. There are also characters like Keqing in this Yingchuan Academy, and Cheng Yu is one of them. And Sima Hui was also one of the guests at that time.

Later, the Yellow Turban War broke out, and Sima Hui was transferred to Jingzhou. And Cheng Yu also began to appear. After Xu Shu killed people, he searched for famous teachers everywhere, and then was instructed by Cheng Yu, and finally worshiped Sima Hui as a teacher. Therefore, after Cheng Yu saw Xu Shu's sword, he immediately recognized the owner of the sword

Cheng Yu is not very interested in Guan Yu, but he is extremely concerned about Xu Shu. After Xu Shu and Guan Yu both bathed and changed their clothes, Cheng Yu hurriedly asked, "Yuan Zhi, what's going on?" Why have you become so embarrassed, and the hand of the cloud chief

Speaking of hands, Cheng Yu obviously noticed that a raging anger flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, so Cheng Yu immediately stopped talking. Guan Yu's temperament Cheng Yu is also relatively clear, and there is no need to be angry with this murderer for the sake of words.

Xu Shu was smart and naturally knew Cheng Yu's questions, so he sighed and told the situation of Jingzhou's defeat in 1510. And Guan Yu's broken arm was vaguely mentioned, but with Cheng Yu's wisdom, he naturally heard it clearly.

After Xu Shu finished speaking, Cheng Yu sighed. Said: "What do Yun Chang and Yuan Zhi mean when they come to Xuchang this time?" Although Cheng Yu had already guessed it. But this question is still necessary.

Before Xu Shu could speak, Guan Yu condensed and said: "I hope that Chengxiang will send troops to avenge a certain big brother!" ”

Cheng Yu listened, and glanced at Guan Yu dissatisfied. At the same time, the eyes fell on Xu Shu's body. "Chopsticks panic" understood what Cheng Yu meant, now that the two of them are already lost dogs, Guan Yu wants to ask Cao Cao to send troops in such a tone. Naturally, Cheng Yu was dissatisfied.

Xu Shu said in a more tactful tone: "Now that Thorn Prefecture has been seized by Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu's purpose is very clear, that is, to dominate the world." In this way, whether he comes to attack Chengxiang or take Jiangdong first, one day Chengxiang will be against Zhang Xiu, so Shu and the prince come together to get along, not only to serve Chengxiang, but also to avenge the emperor's uncle! ”

Xu Shu said this bluntly, but it did not cause Cheng Yu's dissatisfaction. Now that Liu Bei is dead, it is inevitable that both Guan Yu and Xu Shu will take refuge in Cao Cao. Moreover, after Cheng Yu learned art from Sima Hui in Xu Shu, he also saw him a few times, and knew that his talent had surpassed him. With the help of a Xu Shu, Cao Cao's strength can be increased by a bit. And Guan Yu, although his arm is broken, his martial arts may have regressed a lot, but there is absolutely no problem in charging into battle. Of course, Cheng Yu didn't know that Guan Yu's martial arts had not regressed, but had improved a lot.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu pondered for a while, and then muttered: "Jingzhou is taken by Zhang Xiu, then he will be next" Reading this, Cheng Yu paused. The next moment, Cheng Yu exclaimed: "Not good! Yuan Zhi, you go with Yu to see Chengxiang! ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he naturally knew what Cheng Yu was worried about, and nodded: "Without further ado." ”

Cheng Yu asked the servant to drive the carriage this time, and let Xu Shu and Guan Yu get into the carriage together before looking at the Prime Minister's Mansion and leaving. Xuchang under Cao Cao was not like Chang'an, as long as it was night, ordinary people were not allowed to go on the streets. Therefore, Cheng Yu has to take a carriage, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch in the city.

When you get to the outside of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Cheng Yu hurriedly took the two of them in, but when they arrived outside the courtyard in front of the study, they were stopped by Xu Zhu, who was watching the night.

The three of them only heard Cao Cao in the study couldn't help but roar, and at the same time, the sound of "banging" all kinds of porcelain, wood, and gold falling to the ground couldn't help but come out. Guan Yu's ears were extremely sharp, and he also heard a whistling sound coming from inside the house. It should be Cao Cao dancing with a sword in his hand, sweeping all kinds of things to the ground!

Cheng Yu couldn't help but hear the roaring sound in the study, and asked Xu Skirt helplessly: "Zhongkang, is he still like this?" ”

Xu Zhu nodded. said: "Since coming back from Jingzhou, Chengxiang has been like this every day. Before, he was dancing a sword in the courtyard, but today the court discussed the matter of moving the capital, but he was stopped by Kong Rong's people, and after the prime minister came back, he was thundered! ”

Cao Ying knew that when Cao Cao thundered, Guo Jia was the only one who could stop him. Now that Guo Jia is sick on the couch, it is impossible for everyone to invite Guo Jia.

Cheng Yu rubbed his hands very anxiously, and Xu Zhuqi said, "Sir, but there is something important?" ”

Xu Shu in the back heard it, and raised his eyebrows. Secretly said: "This Xu prayer is a tiger idiot, but it is rough and tracked" Xu Shu didn't know that Xu Zhu's "fineness" was also in Cao Cao's matter. This is the duty of being a personal guard, and when he goes to the battlefield, Xu Zhu will not think about it so much.

Cheng Yu nodded and said: "There is a change in Jingzhou, and we must make a decision!" ”

When Xu Zhu heard this, he said helplessly: "This" glanced at Xu Shu and Guan Yu behind him.

At this time, Guan Yu suddenly took a step forward and said in a condensed voice: "Wait for a try!" ”

When Xu Zhu heard this, he was shocked: "You? ”

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe it's okay!" ”

Xu Zhu shook his head and said, "No! Mr. This person is strong in martial arts, if there is evil

Before he finished speaking, Guan Yu snorted coldly and said, "How could Guan do this!" ”

Cheng Yu heard this, nodded and said, "Zhongkang and rest assured, Yun Chang is here to meet each other this time." Now that there is a change in Jingzhou, we must not delay for a moment. Just let Yun Chang give it a try! When Xu Yu heard this, he could only nod helplessly, and then let Guan Yu in.

I saw that Guan Yu entered the courtyard and arrived at the door of the study, Guan Yu did not hide the sound of footsteps, so Cao Cao in the room shouted after hearing it: "Didn't the prime minister say that no one is allowed to approach?" ”

"Bang

Cao Cao's words did not serve as a warning at all. I saw Guan Yu fly up and kick on the door of the study, and the entire door was kicked open by Guan Yu!

Cao Cao in the room heard this, turned his head suddenly, and shouted at the same time: "Which bastard..." is you, Yun Chang! But before Cao Cao finished speaking, he had already turned back to see Guan Yu.

I saw Guan Yuang walk into the study and said coldly: "You are not the Cao Sikong that Guan Mou knows!" ”

Cao Cao heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, and he said in a condensed voice: "Yun Chang, what do you mean by this?" After asking, Cao Cao looked up to the sky and smiled, but after laughing, he lowered his head and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, this appearance is no longer commonplace, this appearance is the inheritance of the Han Dynasty!" Under one person, above ten thousand, it is not comparable to the past! After saying that, he looked up and laughed again.

Guan Yu on the other side saw it, but he shook his head and said in a condensed voice: "It's not an official position, it's not a marquis!" Guan is talking about the heart of the prime minister! At the beginning, Chengxiang and Yuan Shaomi fought against Guandu, and Chengxiang was at a disadvantage, which can be described as a backwater. However, in the end, the prime minister won a big victory over Yuan Shao, although there were occasional setbacks today, why did he lose the ambition of the day? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "Although Zhou Yu'er burned my 400,000 army, he will take revenge one day!" ”

Guan Yu heard it, but he shook his head and said, "Sun Jian? Zhou Yu? Such small troubles are not enough to shake the ambition of the prime minister, and those who are afraid of the prime minister are also Chang'an Zhang Xiu! When he said the last sentence, Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes widened, and he shouted at the same time!

When Cao Cao heard Guan Yu's words, he unconsciously took half a step back, and at the same time, his eyes became distracted.

Guan Yu ignored Cao Cao's strange appearance, suddenly stepped forward, and shouted: "Qi Zu's merit is for hegemony!" Cheng Xiang drank this bold words, since he was the prince of Jiuhe, the world! Why be afraid of Zhang Xiu's children! ”

What Guan Yu said is a short line of Yuefu poems created by Cao Cao. Hearing Guan Yu's words, Cao Cao was shocked, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly shouted, laughing and shouting: "The work of Qi Frame is for hegemony." Nine princes. One world! Qi madness, for the hegemony" Cao Cao laughed and chanted poetry, and at the same time held the sword of the sky and danced wildly.

After laughing and singing for a while, Cao Cao suddenly faced the west, Qitian sword slashed, and shouted: "Zhang Xiu, my Cao Mengde will one day have a duel with you!" ”

Cao Cao finished drinking, Guan Yu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Guan Yu, I've seen the lord!" ”
