Chapter 346: Hanzhong Reaction

Hanzhong was too far away from Jingzhou, and when Liu Bei received Xu Shu's first military report, saying that Jiangdong had betrayed the alliance and attacked Jingzhou, it was already mid-December.

When he first received the military report, Liu Bei was furious.

But what's the use of being angry, Hanzhong is too far away from Jingzhou, and he can't ride the clouds, so he immediately led the troops to appear in Jingzhou and fight to the death with the Jiangdong rats.

Besides, even if there is this means, Liu Bei can't walk away now, in front of him is an army of more than 100,000 led by Cao Cao, and under his feet is the land of Hanzhong and the barrier of Yizhou.

If he doesn't fight this place, Liu Bei will be very insecure even if he stays in Chengdu.

Therefore, when Liu Bei received Xu Shu's first urgent document, although he was in a hurry, there was no good way, so he hurriedly found Fa Zheng and Pang Tong to discuss countermeasures.

After Fa Zheng and Pang Tong read the letter, they were also shocked.

Especially Pang Tong, as a native of Jingzhou, whether Liu Bei Group can occupy Jingzhou is very important to those of them who are from local backgrounds.

No one wants their hometown to be within the boundaries of an enemy country, and it is inevitable that they will be a little constrained when it comes to doing so.

But the reality of the situation, the two strategists know very well, if they don't solve Cao Cao on the opposite side and let Cao Cao regain control of Hanzhong, Yizhou will be in danger at all times.

It is difficult to say which of Jingzhou and Hanzhong at this time was more important in a strategic sense.

Hanzhong is Liu Bei's bottom line to keep his family business, and Jingzhou is Liu Bei's capital to compete for the world.

Therefore, Fa Zheng said to Liu Bei, "The lord must not retreat, Hanzhong is the land of the lord's foundation, it is extraordinary, you must take it, and please think twice." ”

Although Fa Zheng is not from Yizhou, all his interests are now in Yizhou, so it is not easy to say that Jingzhou is not important, so I can only emphasize that Yizhou is the foundation of Liu Bei now, and this barrier in Hanzhong is related to Liu Bei's foundation and cannot be easily given up.

As for Pang Tong, although he wants to say that Jingzhou is important, but when he reaches the level of Pang Tong, he will not make a wrong judgment for the lord because of the gains and losses of his hometown. Jingzhou is important, but Hanzhong is equally important.

Therefore, Pang Tong also gave up his hand and said to Liu Bei, "My lord, although Jiangdong has betrayed the alliance, there is Yuan Zhi in Jingnan, and Jingbei is related to the prince and the chief of the Yuan, even if the Jiangdong child succeeds in the sneak attack for a while, it is difficult to keep the lord for a long time and wait with relief, and then make plans after the letter between the chief and the prince of Guan arrives." ”

After Liu Bei listened to the words of Pang Tong and Fa Zheng, he barely calmed down and continued to confront Cao Cao.

And within a few days, Guan Yu's letter arrived.

At the same time as Guan Yu's letter, there was also a letter from Zhuge Liang in Chengdu.

Guan Yu said in the letter that he and Zhang Xi had long been prepared for a sneak attack in Jiangdong and had made corresponding arrangements in Nanjun, so it should not be a big problem. However, Cao's army is strong, and he and Zhang Xi cannot get out of Xiangfan for the time being, but they have also sent 10,000 reinforcements from Xiangyang to Jiangling for rescue, so it should not be a big problem.

And Zhuge Liang's letter was also a relief to Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang didn't say much, only said that Xu Shu was in Jingnan, Wen Ping was in the public security, and Wang Ji was in Jiangling, and there would be no big problem in dealing with the sneak attack in Jiangdong.

At the same time, just in case, Zhuge Liang had already ordered Fu Kuang of Badong County and Meng Da of Yidu County to quickly rescue Jiangling, and in the short term, it was impossible for Jiangdong to take Jiangling.

After receiving so many letters that relieved Liu Bei, Liu Bei was a little relieved.

It happened that at this time, Cao Cao personally led the troops to the foot of Dingjun Mountain to challenge.

The two armies have been facing each other for such a long time, Cao Cao can't bear it anymore, after all, his logistics pressure is really big, and in winter, it snows from Chang'an to Hanzhong, and the pressure on logistics and supply is even greater.

And Liu Bei was still a little worried about the situation in Jingzhou at this time, so he couldn't bear it anymore, if he could solve it quickly, it would also be in Liu Bei's interests.

Therefore, the two armies launched a head-to-head confrontation on the land of Hanzhong.

Well, as a result. One thing to say, because of the disadvantage of numbers, Liu Bei still fought relatively passively, and even Liu Bei once fought a little too much, ran to the front line to personally command the battle, and braved the rain of arrows to fight to the death.

If it weren't for Fa Zheng dragging it, he would still be in front of Liu Bei when he saw that he couldn't move, and said, "Ming Gongren should be a stone, but he is a villain?" "In this case, Liu Bei is still fighting Cao Jun on the front line.

But in the end, Liu Bei finally took advantage of the convenience of supply. Really, this is really funny, with the difficulty of supplying the mountain road from Yizhou to Hanzhong, Liu Bei actually took advantage of the convenience of supply.

One is that Chengdu is very close to Hanzhong after all, and Chang'an is too far away from Hanzhong.

The other, this is Zhuge Liang sitting in Hanzhong, preparing the grain and grass planning is very powerful, and Cao Cao. Cao Cao's "Xiao He", Xun Lingjun, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, died as early as five years ago, and was forced to death by Cao Cao with an empty food box.

After all, Cao Cao could not continue to put pressure on Liu Bei under the condition of unfavorable supplies, and the two sides fought each other intermittently for more than a month, but finally ended the decisive battle hastily, and the two sides returned to a state of confrontation.

And at this time, Liu Bei received Xu Shu's second battle report - Jiangdong's sneak attack on Jingzhou failed, and he retreated to Lukou for defense. At the same time, Zhou Yu re-led his army out of the town of Baqiu and threatened Jingnan.

This news made Liu Bei happy and surprised.

Happily, Jiangdong Xiaoer stole chickens and rice after all, and failed to break through his Jingzhou defense.

Surprised, Zhou Yu went out of the mountain again to lead the troops, does this mean that Jiangdong still refuses to give up his plot to Jingzhou? !

Now it's just a temporary retreat and recuperation, and there is still the possibility of storming Jingzhou after that?!

After all, it was Zhou Yu, a genius military commander who defeated 400,000 with 30,000 in Chibi back then, without any water.

The deterrent power of Zhou Yu's troops, even Liu Bei, who was in Hanzhong, did not dare to be careless.

At this time, Liu Bei really had the plan to suspend the battle of Hanzhong, retreat to Chengdu, and then quickly send troops to rescue Jingzhou.

Fortunately, now by Liu Bei's side, there are two reliable strategists Fa Zheng and Pang Tong, and there are god-level strategic masters like Zhuge Liang sitting in the rear, who have discouraged Liu Bei's ideas.

It's all fought to this extent, seeing that you can grit your teeth and hold on a little longer to win Hanzhong, how can you give up so halfway?!

And Zhuge Liang also knew Liu Bei's thoughts, so he sorted out Jingzhou's defense information as quickly as possible, sent it to Liu Bei in Hanzhong, and at the same time wrote a letter analyzing the situation to make Liu Bei feel relieved.

We have more than 10,000 guards in Jingnan, about 4,000 in the public security, about 20,000 in Jiangling, and more than 40,000 in total troops, as well as Xu Shu, Wen Ping, Zhang Ren, Pan Jun, Wang Ji and other wise and brave people to guard, so there is no need to worry about Zhou Yu's strong attack.

As for Jiangdong, the sneak attack failed, and the soldiers who lost their troops retreated to Lukou, which itself was the time when the morale of the army was at its lowest, at this time, if we didn't attack them, they should have snickered, how could they still have the strength to counterattack.

No matter how powerful Zhou Yu is, he has to talk about the art of war, in this case, Zhou Yu is likely to sit in Baqiu and regain the morale of the army, and he will definitely not attack easily.

Of course, these are all words that Zhuge Liang said in order to comfort Liu Bei. After the letter was sent to Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang hurriedly wrote another letter, asking people to send it to Xiangyang and Zhang Xi urgently.

The letter told Zhang Xi that there was still danger in the back road, and hoped that Zhang Xi would persuade Guan Junhou not to be too prodigal. If it is really difficult for Cao's army to be controlled, then it is acceptable to temporarily retreat to Nanjun and ensure that Nanjun is not lost.

Don't forget, your purpose is to respond after all, and now Cao Cao has at least divided more than 50,000 troops in Xiangfan, and the two have completed the task excellently.

It's best to keep the extra things, but don't be greedy if you can't keep them.

Zhuge Liang didn't dare to write such a letter to Guan Yu, for fear that this prince would be arrogant again, and he shouldn't have heard it after reading it.

But it's okay to write to Zhang Xi, after all, Zhang Xi is notoriously cautious, even more cautious than him Zhuge Liang, let him judge whether the back road is safe, so as to persuade Guan Yu to advance and retreat, this is the best policy.

As for Zhang Xi, after receiving Zhuge Liang's letter, his face was indeed a little dignified.

Zhang Xi really doesn't have any self-knowledge about himself, and he doesn't know what his evaluation is in Zhuge Liang's heart now. Zhang Xi felt that even Zhuge Liang thought that his back road was dangerous, then maybe it was really dangerous.

After all, Zhuge Liang is only cautious. Zhuge Liang has never been in danger.

Since he has written to remind him, maybe there are still risks in Jingzhou that he can't see.

Therefore, Zhang Xi also wrote a letter to Guan Yu, expressing his worries about the back road, and persuaded Guan Yu that if it really doesn't work, let Guan Yu lead the troops back to rescue him, and continue to block in Fancheng? !

Although Fancheng does not have many troops, it is because Fancheng itself can't let go of too many troops, and it is not that Zhang Xi's troops are insufficient.

And with the solidity of Fancheng and the support of Xiangyang behind him, even without Guan Yu's response, Zhang Xi felt that he should have no problem supporting him for a month or two.

Even if Cao Ren opposite him had 60,000 soldiers, Zhang Xi also had this confidence.

But Guan Yu was a little puzzled, looking at the military report from Wang Ji in his hand that Jiangling was unharmed, and then looking at the letter sent by Zhang Xi. Could it be that he is different from the military newspaper that Zhang Xi reads? !

I'm confused when I have a cold.,I don't know what I've written.,If there's a mistake.,Please forgive me.,
