Chapter 989: Xiangyang Movement

During the Tang Dynasty, the temple of King Wucheng was established, and Jiang Taigong was honored as the king of Wucheng, and Zhang Liang was enshrined as the servant, and the name of Guan Yu was among the sixty-four generals.

After that, the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty have always worshiped the Wu Temple and the Confucian Temple side by side, until the Ming Dynasty was abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang, and in the Qing Dynasty, the Wu Temple reappeared in the sacrificial ranks, but the person has been changed to Guan Yu as the main honor.

Since then, it has continued to this day, and the name of Emperor Guan Wu has spread throughout the world.

There is a reason why Guan Yu is so highly rated in history, and there are really many people who have offended him with his arrogant personality, but he is still a celebrity through the ages, relying not only on his so-called loyalty to pass five levels and six generals to walk thousands of miles alone, but also his real record, after all, there are countless words of pure loyalty.

Guan Yu's background can be described as low, but when it comes to ability, it is really a must in the entire Three Kingdoms period, others such as Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Brothers, Dian Wei, Zhou Yu, Zhou Tai, etc., there are good cavalry, good infantry, good water warfare, only Guan Yu, who is from a low background and relies on self-taught, all three are good at!

The results of the cavalry and foot battles will not be repeated one by one, just talking about the water war, as far as the very rare naval commanders in the Three Kingdoms period are concerned, basically all of them are concentrated in Eastern Wu, but after occupying Jingzhou, it has always been Guan Yu's commander of the naval army to deter Eastern Wu, during which Eastern Wu betrayed the alliance not once, but they were all repelled by Guan Yu, which shows how strong Guan Yu's talent is on the battlefield.

At this moment, Guan Yu left 5,000 troops to garrison Yufu, Wuxian, Badong, and Zigui counties, and he was responsible for marching towards Yiling with 5,000 school swordsmen.

Speaking of which, the current Guan Yu's high-spirited appearance completely made Jia Xu unable to understand it.

Jia Xu is a smart person, the top strategist of the Three Kingdoms, the most famous is good at self-preservation, he is good at political struggle, but when it comes to war, he is better at analyzing the war situation from a political point of view, or looking for loopholes from the hearts of the people, but that's all, if he really leads troops to fight, he is definitely a strongman lock man.

At least, now Jia Xu can't figure out what Guan Yu's plans are, he only knows that Guan Yu wants to fight Yiling, but there are too many ways to fight, but the results are very different, not to mention after Yiling is laid?

Don't think about it, the more you think about it, the more your brain hurts.

……

Jiangling, the county of Nanjun, the largest city in Jingzhou, the first in population, the first in economy, the first in transportation, yes, you read that right, except for the defense, everything else is the first.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there have been 34 generations of emperors who built their capitals here, and throughout the history of China, Jiangling has always been one of the synonyms of wealth and wealth.

Jiangling, which occupies the key point of transportation, controls Bashu in the west, connects Xianghan in the north, takes the rivers and lakes in the north, and refers to Wuyue, which is the key point of the Central Plains to communicate with Lingnan, and is called the "southeast important town", "Yidu also", and Jiangling at this moment......

The city can be described as a big chaos, from Guan Yu's sudden killing to the three cities in a row only seven days have passed, these seven days, the main road in Jiangling City on the back and forth of the scouts have never stopped, snowflakes like letters for help keep sending to Jiangling City, bad news is one after another, there is no worst, only worse, up to the county guard, in a big family, down to the businessmen and the people, all people are panicked, without him, there is going to be a war!

Speaking of which, Jingzhou has not been war-free for a long time under Liu Yan's governance, and the advantage is that it is far more prosperous and tranquil than other states and counties, and the disadvantage is that when the matter comes, everyone will inevitably panic.

Overnight, prices in the entire city of Jiangling almost doubled, and they were still rising the next day, taking the grain that Jingzhou had never lacked, it had already tripled at this moment.

Everyone on the streets and alleys walked in a hurry, and their faces were full of worry, that is, those children of the family had lost their previous guidance and high spirits.

Coincidentally, the reaction from Xiangyang was similar.

Here we have to talk about the geographical problem, Xiangyang is geographically located at the intersection of Nanjun and Nanyang County, the south bank of the Han River, and the intersection of several major water systems in Jingzhou.

In terms of attribution, Xiangyang belongs to Nanjun, but it is not the governance of Nanjun, but the governance of the entire Jingzhou, its geographical location is unique, in the whole history, Xiangyang is the most important node in the south, such as the Southern Song Dynasty, before Xiangyang fell, the Southern Song Dynasty could be safe, Xiangyang was lost, and the Southern Song Dynasty immediately entered the countdown.

Xiangyang City is six zhang high, and in terms of the entire Han Dynasty, it is a first-class fortified city, and it is difficult to attack the city, even if it is a peerless military general with a strong spirit, it is difficult to play a big role.

Because of this, the families in Xiangyang City fell into a tangle, and the reason was that once Guan Yu took Yiling, then Guan Yu had two routes to march, one was to go down the river to reach Jiangling City within a day, and the other was to go north by land to kill Xiangyang directly.

With Guan Yu's force and the record of five thousand school swordsmen under his command in three cities in five days, no one thinks that the current Yiling can resist Guan Yu's soldiers, after all, the disadvantages in all aspects are too great, Jingzhou's soldiers have been sparse for a long time, Guan Yu's surprise attack has caught everyone off guard, nearly half of Jingzhou's troops have entered Shuzhong on the one hand, and the general who lacks the main scene of the formation is on the one hand......

To list them, Cai Mao, Huang Zu, Kuai Liang and others can cite more than a dozen, but the question now is whether to protect the tomb without losing it, even if it is to delay the main Guan Yu for enough time.

"Everyone, tell me what to do." Huang Zu pinched his eyebrows and looked at the few people around him, since he took the lead in stabbing Liu Biao with a sword last time, he has become the leader of the Jingzhou family.

"You can't let Guan Yu take Yiling so easily, you must send troops to support." Kuai Yue expressed his attitude first, and this time continued to elaborate: "After all, if Guan Yu takes Yiling and goes down the river, Jiangling will not even have a chance to react and will be directly blocked by someone, and no one knows whether Jiangling can hold it at that time, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if Jiangling falls, it means that Nanjun has fallen, and then the remaining Xiangyang Lonely City will be surrounded by two sides, even if we don't fight, it will consume us to death just by consuming time." ”

"What will happen then? To Jingnan or to the Central Plains? I'm afraid that no matter where it is, it won't end well! The more he talked, the more ugly his face became.

"What Xenodu said is not unreasonable, but ......" Cai Mao asked after a little hesitation: "What if Guan Yu makes a noise after supporting Yiling for enough time?" Will this lead to a shortage of troops in the defenders of Xiangyang? ”

"In addition, in my opinion, Guan Yudu is here, will Zhang Zhangxiu be far away? Could it be that he has already raised troops to kill Xiangyang at this moment, Wang Xuanna? What is the situation in Shuzhong now? Has General Xiahou been ......, if Xiangyang's troops are insufficient at this moment......" Speaking of this, Cai Mao's words were paused, and his face was full of heaviness, "I'm really afraid, this is Liu Beijun's real purpose, after all, Liu Fujun ......"

After Cai Mao finished speaking, everyone's faces also became ugly, Liu Biao did too much in this matter, it was equivalent to digging a pit and jumping in by himself, and burying people in the soil.

This matter has basically become a taboo topic in Jingzhou, and now Cai Mao can't open which pot to mention, and it's strange that everyone's face can be good.
