Guan Yu led 3,000 naval troops, constantly harassing along the coast, Guan Yu has been in Jingzhou for a long time, and the advantages of being familiar with all parts of Jingzhou are shown.

Where it is possible to garrison troops, where there is a granary, where is the main road, Guan Yu is clear, coupled with the strong flexibility of the naval army.

At this time, no news has been received from various places, and Lejin in Xiangyang received reports from four Guan Yu in one day. Le Jin said angrily: "Why is it all Guan Yu? As soon as you lose the battle, tell Guan Yu that he is coming! Guan Yu doesn't need to rest? Running fast? These generals, who want to shirk their responsibilities, have all withdrawn from me! ”

Having said that, there is no way, this is still the case a few days later, Le Jin calmed down and thought about it, feeling that Guan Yu might come along the waterway. But I didn't receive the news that there were soldiers and horses entering Hanshui from the Jiangxia Cultural Recruitment Office.

When the full pet messenger arrives, Lejin will know. It's just that there are too few troops to fortify everywhere, and Xiangyang has to be defended, Le Jinkong has the heart of crusade but does not dare to move, if it is stirred by Guan Yu, it will only make people panic. Lejin had no choice but to ask for help from Xuchang.

Cao Cao of Xuchang first received Lejin's request for help, and then reported on the battle situation of annihilating hundreds of people, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu led 10,000 people to cut off Jiangling and Dangyang.

When Cao Cao saw the two letters, he felt that he couldn't let Liu Bei and Guan Yu make trouble, so he ordered Li Tong of Runan to lead the crowd to meet Man Chong and Xu Huang, attack Liu Bei and Guan Yu, recapture Hanjin, and rescue Cao Ren. Li Tong received the order and led the crowd to go.

After asking for help from Xuchang, Xu Huang, who had pacified the rebels everywhere, came to rendezvous. The two of them led the troops to fight Liu Bei first.

Liu Bei got the news and concentrated his forces in Hanjin. Xu Huang and Man Chong arrived at Hanjin and set up camp. Seeing the layers of trenches and antlers in Hanjin, Man Zhong couldn't help but say: "The strength of our army is comparable to Liu Bei, Liu Bei will be strictly defended, we will be at a disadvantage!" ”

Xu Huang said: "I don't think Liu Bei is here to fight hard. ”

was full of flattery, and immediately reacted: "Are you saying that Liu Bei is just delaying us, and will not fight to the death with us, so that Zhou Yu can take advantage." ”

Xu Huang said: "Berning's reaction is fast. Liu Bei really wants to fight us, and he should break each one before you and I have no rounds. Otherwise, how could it be that hundreds of people began to shrink. Now that we are putting on this posture again, it is obvious that we are going to work hard, and we can drag it if we can, and we can drag it away by boat. ”

"Since that's the case, then we can't be here." Gongming, you go back, I'll hold Liu Bei here. lest Cao Zixiao become a lone soldier. ”

Xu Huang said: "That's what I said, but I can't let Liu Bei be here, I still have to drive him away." If my guess is not bad. The prime minister will definitely send reinforcements. I will attack for ten days first, and you will attack for ten days, and you will be tired of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses first. Then reinforcements came to continue the attack, and Liu Bei was almost ready to withdraw at that time. ”

Man Pet said: "It's okay." ”

After the discussion was properly discussed, Xu Huang led the crowd to attack, and Liu Bei led troops to defend. Although it was an attack, Xu Huang didn't force his efforts, but most of them were false moves, and occasionally they really hit the following, so that Liu Beijun constantly had to be in a defensive state to achieve his goal.

And so it was fought for ten days. After that, return to Linfang. Full Favor took over, and it was also attacked like this for ten days.

Li Tong led the army to arrive, and the battle situation was slightly said, Li Tong: "Since Liu Bei has been in the Kou for more than 70 days, he is already a tired soldier, our army is new, and the momentum is flourishing, wait for me to break him." "Lead the troops into battle.

The generals under Li Tong's command were a little afraid when they saw Hanjin being so defensive. When Li Tong saw this, he quietly ordered an attack, and when he approached the trench, he personally dismounted and braved arrows and gravel to fill the trench, pull out the antlers, and tear down the fence. The generals and soldiers under his command were deeply encouraged and moved forward desperately.

Liu Bei saw it and said: "I have heard of Runan Li Tong Li Wenda for a long time, and when I see it today, I am really brave." ”

Li Tong attacked for eight days, day and night. Liu Bei didn't want to work too hard, so he led his troops to retreat. Li Tong recovered Hanjin.

Although Li Tong took Hanjin, after receiving Cao Cao's order, he traveled day and night, and after arriving, he sacrificed his life to recover Hanjin. Eventually fell ill. Although he was ill, Li Tong still forcibly went south, preparing to complete the order to rush to the aid of Jiangling Caoren.

Li led to the south, pressing step by step, approaching Gangneung, but failed to arrive, and died of illness in the army at the age of forty-two.

Cao Ren fought in Jiangling for a year, and the soldiers suffered a lot of losses, and there was no news of reinforcements from the north, but the news of Liu Bei and Guan Yu came to the north of the province. After thinking about it again and again, if you carry it again, the whole army will inevitably be wiped out, so you will destroy the materials and equipment, and then break through to the north. Cao Ren retreated, and on the way, he learned that the reinforcement Li Tong had died of illness and sighed.

After Zhou Yu took Jiangling. Liu Bei returned, picked up Zhang Fei, and returned to Xiakou Zhuge Liang led Liu Bei to inspect everywhere, and waited for everything to be clear.

Liu Bei transferred Zhuge Liang to the south to supervise the four counties of Lingling, Guiyang, Changsha, and Wuling, and transferred their taxes to replenish the army, rectify government affairs, and assist in the people's livelihood. Gan Ning was the Taishou of Jiangxia, leading 20,000 troops, and Su Fei was the governor of the navy. Guiyang guarded Zhao Fan with two hearts, and was noticed by Zhao Yun, Zhao Fan was terrified, secretly fled, and disappeared. Liu Bei sealed Zhao Yun and temporarily led Guiyang Taishou. Soon after, Lujiang Lei Xu led more than 50,000 soldiers and their families to defect to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's troops were even stronger.

Sun Quan took Zhou Yu as the Nanjun Taishou, Cheng Pu as the Jiangxia Taishou, Quan Rou as the Guiyang Taishou, and Huang Gai as the Wuling Taishou.

In this way, the two families are uncomfortable, Jiangling City and Chaisang are connected to each other, and the transportation of troops and grain must pass through Xiakou, and Liu Bei is clear.

Many of the stewards appointed by Sun Quan accounted for only a small fraction, as if he had declared that he was plotting against Jingzhou. However, due to Liu Qi's inheritance of Liu Biao's title before the Battle of Chibi, he became the lord of Jingzhou, and the righteousness was in Liu Bei's place.

Although Sun Quan was so appointed, only Zhou Yu possessed the northern part of Jiangling in Nanjun and the shrinkage of Cao's army, and the western part of Nanjun was almost occupied by Liu Bei, Huang Gai was occupied by Wuling County, and Cheng Pu was in Changsha County, and both sides maintained a delicate relationship.

In the fourteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao led his troops to recruit Sun Quan, and the two sides confronted each other, Cao Cao wrote a letter to intimidate Sun Quan: "The battle of Chibi is worth the disease, and the ship is burned and retreated, so that Zhou Yu has this false name." ”

Sun Quan saw that Cao Cao did not retreat for a long time, so he surrendered and begged for peace. Cao Cao couldn't help Sun Quan. Take the opportunity to withdraw from the army.

Liu Qi, the pastor of Jingzhou, died of illness, and everyone supported Liu Bei as the pastor of Jingzhou, and Liu Bei went to the table of Sun Quan to ride the general and lead the Xuzhou pastor, and at the same time took advantage of Cao Cao's retreat to ask Sun Quan to divide the land to garrison the troops.

Sun Quan knew that Cao Cao would not give up, and Liu Bei could fight Cao together and agree to Liu Bei's request. Send Lu Su to Zhou Yu to say it.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but say: "Liu Bei, the posture of a hero, the nature of a tiger and a wolf, how can you cut the land with him, if he becomes bigger, it will only become a disaster for Jiangdong." ”

Lu Su said: "Cao Cao is in the north, the vitality is restored, and the previous confrontation with the lord is to avenge the revenge of the red cliff, we have mountains in Jiangdong that are not convinced, and Cao Cao has a strong enemy outside, Liu Bei keeps pleading, if you cut a place and station troops with it, it is also good to reduce our pressure." ”

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "Liu Bei will let Xia Kou go, and I will divide the land with him." ”

Lu Su said: "Who is Liu Bei, will he agree?" ”

Zhou Yu snorted and said: "If you want to give it to him for nothing, do I Jiangdong want to be the big one, Liu Bei opened his mouth!"

Lu Su said: "Gong Jin, now you have Cao Cao in the north and Liu Bei in the south, once Cao Cao goes south, how do you fight the enemy, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu have also cut off Cao's northern reinforcements, and divided the land with Liu Bei, which is to drag Liu Bei into the battle against Cao Cao, so as not to let him sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the gains outweigh the losses. Gong Jin has to think about it. Attacking Jiangling, Liu Bei also came to help in person, and also made efforts, dividing the land and stationing troops, and the request was not too much. ”

Zhou Yu listened and said: "Zijing, haven't you heard of Long Wangshu, is Liu Bei an easily satisfied person?"

Then he breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Well, since the lord has agreed, I will divide the mouth of the oil river on the south bank with him." ”

Lu Su was overjoyed, reported to Sun Quan, and informed Liu Bei that Liu Bei was stationed at the mouth of the Youjiang River and renamed Gong'an. In the north and south of the Yangtze River, Liu Biao's old troops came to join more, Liu Bei's power gradually expanded, and Sun Quan felt a little uneasy.

But the matter has come to this, has been promised Liu Bei to allocate troops, can only let it develop, soon, Liu Bei's wife Gan died of illness, Sun Quan in order to win over Liu Bei, then his sister Sun Shangxiang married Liu Bei, the difference between the two is 30 years old, just a political marriage.
