Yang Xiu believes that there are only two roads in Yunshan now.

Either resist to the end, or just slip away.

In this era, there was a large swamp near the Suilu Corridor, and the effect of Lejin's support from the road was not good, and the enemy's naval army might take the opportunity to sneak attack Xiangyang Fancheng and other places.

As for Tongbai Mountain in the north and Dabie Mountain in the east, don't even think about it, it is impossible for Cao Jun to come from these two directions.

Either they stubbornly resisted the continuous attacks of Guan Yu and Zhou Yu alone with only a small number of reinforcements, or they could only choose to hurry away before Guan Yu and Zhou Yu closed the siege.

No matter what kind of choice is chosen, the reputation of Yunshan is a heavy blow, after Sun Liu went ashore, as long as a few people are stationed to block the passage from Zhangling to the ancient Suiguo, they will be equivalent to establishing a foothold in Jiangbei, which is undoubtedly very symbolic for Sun Liu.

As it turned out, Yunshan chose the second path,

A few days later, Cao Cao received news that the Yunshan tribe had engaged in a water battle with Guan Yu's forward, and could not defeat Guan Yu's army, so he had to choose to retreat.

It's summer, and it won't be long before the crops that have been sown so hard in Jiangxia will be harvested.

At this time, Yunshan chose to retreat with the whole army, which was equivalent to sending a wave of crops for nothing, and a large number of supplies of Cao's army were basically cheaper than Guan Yu, which must have been regarded as a slap in the face of Cao Cao and Xiahoudun, making Yang Xiu even more gloating.

"Yunshan's soldiers are weak and provoke a strong enemy, so if he suffers a great disaster, he will not be severely punished, and he must not be allowed to lead the army alone."

Seeing Yang Xiu's excited appearance, Cao Ren wisely didn't say a word, but Cao Hong nodded again and again, muttering the same.

Cao Cao glared at Cao Hong fiercely, and his heart became more and more entangled, for fear that Yunshan would suffer something wrong.

Wang Bi saw Cao Cao's intentions and forced a smile:

"It's always good to kill a thief for the sake of the country. General Yun's previous attack on Pan Zhang was a credit, and it was helpless to provoke the enemy to attack.

Can't everyone be afraid of a strong enemy and dare not attack, and let the thieves go freely on the river? ”

"I thought that we might as well increase our troops in Hefei and threaten Sun Quan, but when Sun Quan saw it, he must be afraid in his heart and summon Zhou Yu to help.

Maybe Tanzhi still has a chance to recapture Jiangxia. ”

Yang Xiu raised his head and smiled:

"I thought that if this Jiangxia was lost, it would be lost, and Hugh would take it back.

Yunshan is lonely, and the cost is quite heavy, as soon as Sun Liu comes, it is difficult for our army to support, and the military resources are cheap to the enemy, so it is better to stick to Xiangyang Fancheng and wait for the time. ”

As he spoke, he glanced mockingly at Wang Bi.

Since the Battle of Guandu, no one has dared to look at Wang Bi with this kind of eyes, Wang Bi was annoyed in his heart, but he took into account Yang Xiu's reputation, gritted his teeth and said: "What, Jiangxia doesn't want it, can't you garrison Hefei too?" ”

"Hehe, if Hefei is a flat river, it is not impossible.

But Hefei to the south to go Chaohu Lake, we need to first attack Juchao with a naval army, and then attack the Yangtze River with a naval army.

If Wang Changshi could let his subordinates swim through Chaohu Lake, then Yang Xiu didn't say it. ”

"You!"

Wang Bi was shocked and angry, pointing at Yang Xiu's nose, but after all, he could only slowly lower his hand.

He is Cao Cao's confidant, and his every move represents Cao Cao's intentions, and Yang Xiu is the son of Yang Biao and the leader of the Qing Stream of the Han Dynasty in the middle of the court.

Now Cao Cao is weak and does not have this ability.

Patience, Wang Bi, for the sake of the prime minister, you have to endure for a while.

Yang Xiu saw that everyone was speechless, and his heart was even more ecstatic.

Hey, they all say that Cao Cao's ability is amazing, I don't think that's it, if I was born a few years earlier, how can Cao Cao be rampant?

Cao Cao snorted and ignored Yang Xiu's frenzy.

Yang Xiu's madness is still far from You Heng and Kong Rong back then, as the prime minister, he must also try to restrain his temper, and don't be like these thieves.

Now, everything is waiting for news from Yunshan.

Cao Cao was about to announce the dismissal of the meeting, when a rush of gongs suddenly sounded outside.

This is a signal that there is an urgent military situation coming, ordering passers-by to hurry up and dodge, and this gong sound is so rapid that the whole city can hear it clearly, obviously there are 100,000 urgent military information coming quickly, and the knight who delivered the letter urged the fast horse to run quickly, and soon came to Cao Cao.

It must be Jiangxia's urgent report!

Wang Bi quickly ran out, and after a while, he took a letter in his hand, rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and delivered the letter to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao stretched out his hand to take it, and fell to the ground unsteadily for a while, he picked up the letter, and when he opened it, he couldn't hold it steadily, and the letter fell to the ground again.

"It's really Jiangxia!"

Cao Cao muttered, looking closely.

Xiahoudun leaned over to watch together, everyone held their breath, and even the rampant Yang Xiu was silent, waiting for Cao Cao's news.

"Tanzhi retreated, Guan Yu has occupied Shiyang and Anlu, and Jiangxia is all in the hands of the enemy......"

Xiahoudun muttered it, and Sima Yi, Zhao Yan, Mao Jue, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others in the council hall let out a sigh together.

Although they had known that this would be the result, when they heard that no miracle had happened, everyone's faces still showed pain.

The loss of Jiangxia was a major blow to Cao Cao, and Cao's army's territory in Jingzhou was further reduced, and perhaps Sun Liu would take the opportunity to attack Xiangyang and Fancheng.

It's hard to predict the future.

Only Yang Xiu had a smile on his face.

Yunshan is defeated, Cao Pi, who was good friends with Yunshan before, will also be hit, and when the time comes, he and Ding Yi will do their best to assist Cao Zhi, and from time to time they will be able to hit him with Yunshan's defeat and Cao Pi's false report of his military exploits, plus Cao Cao has always disliked Cao Pi, and the future lord of the world must be the amazing and brilliant Cao Zhi.

"Tanzhi, Tanzhi."

Cao Cao's hands holding the letter trembled uncontrollably, Yang Xiu couldn't bear it, and made his debut out in general:

"Prime Minister, since ancient times, the defeat of the army must be severely punished! If Yunshan loses this battle, it should be made public and ruthlessly punish the crime of Yunshan and Lejin, this is the clear reward and punishment! ”

"Yes, there are clear rewards and punishments." Cao Cao's gaze had already returned to clarity, "Yuan Rang, how do you say to reward and punish?" ”

Xiahou pondered slightly: "Tan Zhi lost Jiangxia, this Jiangxia Taishou can't do it, or be exempt." ”

Cao Cao said:

"yes. At that time, our army was defeated, and there was chaos in my lonely heart, and I originally gave Tan Zhi a Jiangxia Taishou who hoped that he could persist in fighting there and harass Sun Liu. ”

Hearing that Cao Cao actually excused Yunshan in his tone, Yang Xiu was unconvinced, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, victory is victory, and defeat is defeat." Although Yunshan was in a hurry and helpless before, he took care of him in every way and was far better than others, but he was still defeated, which shows that he is arrogant and unauthorized, and he also asked the prime minister to punish him. ”

"Okay, I will remove him from the position of Tanzhijiang Xia Taishou and transfer to Nanjun Taishou. Wen Qian has a good schedule, and Wen Qian is also willing to do his best, adding 200 households each! ”

"Huh? Yes? ”

Everyone first sighed, and then was stunned.

Jingzhou originally did not have Xiangyang County, after Cao Cao went south, Xiangyang County was set up in the north of Nanjun, and Le Jin was promoted to Jingzhou Pastor and did not set up Xiangyang Taishou for the time being, is it because of the defeat of Yunshan, Cao Cao wanted to combine Xiangyang and Nanjun and let Yunshan be the Taishou?

What the hell is this?

Cao Ren also immediately objected:

"Prime Minister, by all means! Yun Shan lost Jiangxia and has not been heavily punished, how can he be transferred to Nanjun Taishou? This, I'm afraid that everyone will not be convinced. ”

Cao Hong also muttered:

"Yes, this is absolutely impossible, this is absolutely impossible, how can it be so?"

Cao Cao saw that everyone was opposing, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

He unfolded the letter and said calmly:

"Of course, this Nanjun is too guarded by Yun Tanzhi, and no one dares to disagree - he lost Jiangxia, but he avoided the truth and attacked Jiangling. Now that Gangneung has returned to my hands, can't he be made the Taishou of Nanjun? ”

"What!"

Everyone was shocked.

Especially Cao Ren, who had just lost Jiangling, was even more stunned and almost speechless.

River...... Gangneung ......

Gangneung was actually recaptured by Yunshan!

"Not bad!" Cao Cao said excitedly, "Who said that Tan Zhi can't use soldiers!" Who said that Tanzhi is just the courage of a horseman? When Tan Zhi heard that the enemy army was coming, he knew that he could not resist it, so he deliberately left an army to lure the enemy, skillfully crossed the summer water, and attacked Gangneung at night.

Deju's sailors also rushed to help Tanzhi blockade the summer water, the Jiangling Wu army was not prepared, and Tanzhi took advantage of the dawn to open the door and break the city! ”

"You say, this Nanjun is too guarded, and he deserves it!"

·

"Hahaha, ahahahaha!"

In the city of Xiangyang, Le Jin held Guan Ping's military newspaper in his hand, and he was happy as if he were celebrating the New Year.

"Good, good, good! Frank, the courage of the tan can't be, the courage of the tan can't be! God help me! ”

As Yang Xiu said, Jiangxia was still a frontline of surprise attack for Cao Jun, and it was quite chicken for Sun Liu.

It's good that it's close to Shiyang and Anlu in Hanshui, but further north it's either a smoky mountain or a miasma, and even if you occupy it, it's difficult to use it as a frontline for the Northern Expedition.

But Gangneung is different.

Jiangling is the core of the ancient Chu State and the spiritual home of the Chu people.

This place controls the waterway of the Yangtze River, which is the link between Yizhou and Yangzhou, and occupying this place, the Sun-Liu coalition army can go on a northern expedition on land and water, while Cao's army is not ashamed of its naval army.

Cao Ren fought hard here for half a year before, but he was still forced to choose to abandon the city and flee, Sun Liu got the Yangtze River waterway, which could be attacked and retreated, and Le Jin was still thinking about how to strengthen the defense of Xiangyang.

But I never expected that Yunshan would actually recapture Jiangling!

Without Jiangling, how could Sun Liu go on the Northern Expedition? Can you still fight from Jiangxia?

Lejin has fought a battle all his life, and there has never been such a happy moment.

He sat in Xiangyang to play chess, drank tea, looked at the situation in Jingzhou lightly, and actually took back Jiangling, and he got a reward without knowing anything, and added food, and it was said that he commanded Ruoding, and the city government was outstanding.

"It's all the general's goodness. If it were someone else, where would you be able to listen to my advice? Ma Liang said with a smile.

"Not bad." Le Jin bowed his head, his heart was full of joy and great self-confidence, he felt that his temper had improved a lot, and smiled softly, "Yes, I shouldn't have been happy and worried before, with all the kings here, why worry here!" ”
