Chapter 540 - Liu Bei's Plan
"Cao Ren has already received the support of the defeated army, which means that Yuzhou has now received the news, right?"
At this time, Guan Yu spoke indifferently again, and also interrupted Zhou Cang's words.
Looking at Guan Yu, whose face was so calm, Zhou Cang, who had followed him for many years, seemed to have understood what he meant.
Although he still felt a little pity in his heart, Zhou Cang still respected his choice and obeyed... followed Guan Yu's thoughts.
"What the general said is extremely true, now this land of Yuzhou has been prepared...."Zhou Cang took a deep breath directly at this time, and then said to Guan Yu in front of everyone.
"As the last general just said.
Although we won a great victory in this battle, there were still some remnants of Cao's army who were defeated and fled, and their number should not be underestimated.
And because they are too scattered, and the flood spreads, our pursuit has also become a problem, and at this time they may have escaped into Yuzhou.
One of the most important things, the general under the command of the Cao clan, Man Chong, and the veteran Wang Tu, still did not give up in the defeated army.
At this time, the rout army had been quickly reorganized, and the army returned to Runan to join Cao Ren.
At the same time, the general asked me to wait for the news of the inquiry, and we have already replied.
Sure enough, as the general expected, under such circumstances, it was impossible for him Cao Mengde to sit idly by.
So.... We have now confirmed that Cao Mengde is in Xuchang, but at this time he still did not take any action, only sent some soldiers and horses to help Cao Ren.
I don't know what the purpose is!
In addition, Cao Mengde had previously recruited Zhang Liao from Jianghuai and Zang Ba from Xuzhou to entangle with the lord, and now their forces have begun to shrink a little..."
"Didn't Cao Ren run away?" Before Zhou Cang's words could be finished, he was interrupted by a voice again.
And it was none other than Guan Yu Guan Yunchang who interrupted him....
To be honest, of course Guan Yu knew that Zhou Cang was cooperating with herself, but there were some things she really couldn't understand.
He and Cao Ren are also old rivals, and with what he knows about Cao Ren, he thinks this guy should already want to run away by now.
Don't look at this guy's courage at every turn, Cao's barrier, the famous general of the Han Dynasty....
In fact, in Guan Yu's eyes, this guy has only one title, that is, he is bold!
And now, Guan Yu heard that this coward hadn't escaped yet, and he had received a very good evaluation.... Weird! Weird!
Of course, Zhou Cang understood Guan Yu's doubts, so he also explained to Guan Yu with a smile on his face.
"The general is really powerful, and he knows a lot about that Cao Ren...
It is said that Cao Ren had been frightened by the general, but it is said that he was persuaded by Manzhong... Now he is repairing the defensive line on the southern border of Runan, preparing to fight to the death with the general..."
"Can you persuade Cao Ren?" Guan Yu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, this news... It was even more surprising to him than he had just heard about Cao Ren's active defense.
How can this full pet still have such a ability?
It's not like that!
"Did Man Boning, who was not afraid of death, put a knife on Cao Ren's neck?"
"Uh.... I don't know! ”
After Guan Yu confirmed these news, he couldn't help but touch the battle report hidden in his sleeve, and finally shook his head slightly.
"That's it, even if it's cheap today, Cao Ren..."
"General?"
Although Zhou Cang had already understood this choice and even cooperated with him to complete this choice, when the others heard Guan Yu's order and words, they couldn't help but be surprised.
It's a great opportunity to make a name for yourself, but to put it mildly... They feel that if they are close to the Central Plains now.
Even if it fails in the end, it will definitely go down in history!
And Guan Yu's words just now seem to be that he doesn't plan to continue to attack the Central Plains, how can this be good?
The generals were all shocked at this time, and they stood up one by one to stop them.
But before they could speak, they directly heard a loud shout from Guan Yu.
"The whole army obeys the order!"
"No!"
"Immediately straighten out the soldiers and horses.... Return to Jingzhou! Guan Yu directly pulled out the arrow and roared, he didn't plan to explain anything to these people at all, nor did he plan to tell them any plans.
What he Guan Yu decided, he didn't need to explain to anyone.
The enemy doesn't need it, his own people, he doesn't need it either!
Merely.... Looking at these old people in front of him who had followed him for many years, looking at their shocked and disappointed eyes.
In the end, Guan Yu actually couldn't help but sigh and came out, and reluctantly added a sentence to them.
"Today, you will follow me to sweep away the Jiangdong rats!"
"......" Everyone listened to the words that swept away the rats in Jiangdong, and finally glanced at each other one by one, and then...
"I'll take my orders!"
Looking at the generals in front of him, Guan Yu finally nodded slightly.
Although it is good to advance into the Central Plains, even if you advance into the Central Plains now, I am afraid that you may not be able to fight down.
The brave retreat from the rapids is not necessarily the work of the big husband.
At this time, Guan Yu remembered Zhuge Liang's last sentence when he made a plan and gave him a secret letter, and finally understood what this sentence meant.
"If we can't decide now, then leave that choice to the future..."
This world is the world of young people after all, and they don't need to gamble so much. And useless!
This battle... That's it.
Under Guan Yu's order, the army finally began to slowly withdraw, and a large number of military camps were directly abandoned.
Countless horse-repellent antlers are also a thing of the past.
Looking at the messy battlefield and the big camp, all the generals sighed silently in their hearts.
"General, if we return to the army like this, how about the pursuit of the Cao army?"
At the moment when they were about to withdraw their troops, Zhou Cang and the others couldn't help but come over, seeing that they were about to advance into the Central Plains, this great opportunity was in front of them, and they really couldn't bear to give up.
This time it seemed to be asking for a nonsense, but it was not asking Guan Yu for the last time.
I hope Guan Yu can follow their advice and sweep the Central Plains....
In the face of everyone's inquiries and requests, Guan Yu didn't say anything, but directly ordered and answered them with facts.
"Requisition ships, Zhou Cang led a small number of soldiers and horses to attack the front line of Yecheng Lushan, there is no need to fight with Cao Ren, just need to make a momentum of attack!
At the same time, the herald... Go and tell Na Gongming, Zhao Rong and the others to immediately send troops to clean up the river, take the opportunity to restore the waterway, and let this flood recede as soon as possible, don't affect the march of the army!
At the same time, he ordered all localities to repair the cities along the way, so as to prevent Cao's army from coming again as a whole army. ”
"Send scouts to go forward by boat to find out the news, in case Cao Mengde suddenly leads the army to appear...."
Guan Yu's orders were all aftermaths, so that the generals also understood that they had made up their minds.
Although I was unwilling in my heart, I could only sigh silently in my heart, looking at the direction of Yuzhou, thinking about how I would be when I came back next time...
Guan Yu's army mobilization, so blatant, so unscrupulous, naturally can't escape the eyes of those scouts of Cao Jun and Jiangdong Army.
When these messages Pegasus... After the spaceship reported to Xuchang, Guo Jia, Xun You and others, who had been waiting nervously, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Whew~" Guo Jia couldn't help but take a long breath, and then after a violent cough, he turned around and bowed to Cao Mengde, "Congratulations to Duke Wei!" Now that Guan Yu will retire, we can rest assured! ”
Guo Jia's words made Cao Cao on the throne raise his head slightly, and the originally frowning brow did not immediately loosen.
There seemed to be a hint of disbelief in his eyes, but he nodded.
"It seems that Yun Chang is indeed evacuating.
It's just that I don't know what Jiangdong has done in Jingzhou to make Yun Chang want to return so urgently. ”
"I think it should be that the attack on Jiangling is quite urgent, and this Guan Yu's flooding strategy has also reminded Jiangdong, since it is an attack on Jingzhou, it will be more thorough.
I heard a report from a scout before, saying that there was a sudden flood in Nanjun and other places in Jingzhou, and it was more serious than Nanyang.
Even if this is a break in Hanshui, it won't be like this.
Therefore, this must be Jiangdong adding a fire to Nangun.
After that, things are simple, now the flood in Jingzhou is raging, and at this time Jingzhou is erosive, and the Jingzhou army stationed in Youxian County was instantly defeated by Cheng Pu, who had been preparing for a long time.
Now it is still a situation of life and death.
However, the news from the school government that the southern part of Jingzhou is a surrender, and even... It has directly affected Lingling and Guiyang in the four counties of Jingnan....
I think this is the means of the Jiangdong generals. ”
"Koto... Are they so bold now? Cao Mengde sneered directly at this time, "I know that Liu Bei is now a loyal dog by the little emperor's side."
It's just that they dare to take the initiative to join forces with us and others to sneak attack each other.
This time, he actually did it directly to Chang'an.
Is he really not afraid that he will not be able to be attacked from both sides?
He didn't want to think about it, if it really came to a critical moment, they could really withstand the anger of both sides? ”
Guo Jia looked at Cao Mengde, who was full of sneers, and finally could only show a smile, and then did not promise anything.
Now that this Jiangdong has become like this, even Guo Jia doesn't know how he ended up with Zhou Yu.
What Wei Gong said was extremely true.
Now this situation.... It's really speechless.
If Zhou Yu also let go of his hands and feet, if they also dug up the waterways of Jingzhou and used such strategies, then it would be much more convenient to attack Jingzhou.
And even if it fails in the end, this Jingzhou can be regarded as completely erosive! ”
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he laughed directly, Guan Yu evacuated, Jiangdong broke out, which can be said to be an unexpected joy, so Jiangdong and Liu Bei have formed a big feud.
Even with Liu Xie, who is behind Liu Beijun, this can be regarded as a mortal enemy!
Coalition? Where is the possibility of an alliance?
Even if we form an alliance again in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult... However, they could not be intimate before.
But after this time, Liu Bei, Liu Xie, and Sun Quan of Jiangdong will understand that they will not die.
And....
"In fact, Jia's most gratifying thing is that after this battle, with Guan Yu's character, it will be difficult for him and Zhou Yu to coexist, and the two of them will definitely fall down!
It can even be said that one of them will definitely stay in this Jingzhou land completely.
That's the biggest benefit for us!
Now that the main force of Jiangdong has entered Jingzhou, and the Jingzhou army is now like a rainbow, no matter who wins or loses, it will be a lose-lose situation!
And that's great for us. ”
"Then Feng Xiao thinks, who can win?" Cao Mengde suddenly spoke, looking at Guo Jia in front of him with a little burning eyes.
In fact, in Cao Mengde's heart, he already has his own answer.
Merely.... It's just that he still wants to ask Guo Jia what he means.
After Guo Jia saw this gaze, he didn't know if it was his own delusion, but he actually felt that there seemed to be a trace of distress in the eyes of this King of Wei?
Distressed.... Guo Jia couldn't help frowning a little, who was he feeling sorry for?
Or is it your own delusion?
When Guo Jia had this thought, he directly shuddered in his heart, feeling that he was really dizzy with old eyes, how could he have this illusion.
Sure enough, people can't live long!
However, the shiver turned to the shiver, and Guo Jia finally said the words that reassured Cao Cao.
"Wei Gong rest assured, although Zhou Gongjin and the others are also famous generals, and there are Lu Su, Lu Meng and others to help, but since he Guan Yu is so prepared.
The rear will certainly not be unprepared...
And this Liu Bei has not moved until now, even if we have a large army to delay, it will not be so helpless.
Moreover.... During this time, Jia finally thought of who was missing in this world!
So Chia guesses... Guan Yu will be in danger in this battle, but he will definitely win the final victory! ”
"Dangerous?" Cao Mengde's attention once again made Guo Jia feel awkward...
"Can Yun Chang be calculated by that Zhou Yu?"
Guo Jia looked at Cao Mengde in front of him, this time he really didn't know what to say.
That's Guan Yunchang, he is Liu Bei's person, you said that as the Duke of Wei, why does he care so much about this matter?
How does this sound like how worried about this Guan Yu?
Does it need to be?
Guo Jia couldn't understand Cao Mengde now, but in the end he shook his head helplessly and bowed to Cao Mengde.
“..... If Zhou Yu really wants to make a name for himself in Jingzhou, I'm afraid that this big flood will not be released by him Guan Yunchang.
After all, even if Guan Yu didn't know or forgot the old things about the flooding of Yingcheng back then, then Zhou Yu couldn't not know.
Since he can dig a dam to irrigate Jingzhou now, he will definitely be able to do it before!
The reason why I waited until now, the last general felt that this was because Zhou Yu also wanted me to compete with Guan Yu, and even... Zhou Gongjin had already guessed Guan Yu's means, and he had guessed it before I waited.
I want to use Guan Yu's hand to make me suffer heavy losses, and then use this method to force Guan Yu back.
If Guan Yu refuses to return to the army, he will directly attack Jiangling, take Jingzhou, cut off Guan Yu's back road, and then unite with us to besiege and kill Guan Yu.
In this way, even if he can't kill him, Guan Yu will be embarrassed and flee into the land of Shangyong and even Guanzhong.
Even let Liu Bei become a rootless duckweed, can he or both.
In this way, he occupies Jingzhou, and can even cut off the land of Jingnan and Jiaozhou.
You must know that this Jiaozhou is very empty now.
It's nice to be able to protect yourself.
Zhou Yu would have plenty of time to stabilize Jingzhou, rebuild the defense line and swallow the state.
At that time, even if we had the heart to get a piece of the pie... But it's also powerless! ”
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he also had to sigh, it is true that they are not the only ones in this world who are smart people, and it is only now that Guo Jia feels that this Jiangdong has a little bit of meaning in the world.
From a-stirring stick that meddles in it... From a force that sways left and right, to a force that can really dominate the overall situation!
As for the second half of the sentence that Guo Jia didn't say.... What if this Guan Yu returns?
Naturally, there is no need to say anything, if he really comes back, then kill him directly!
Zhou Yu must have arranged many obstacles in Jingzhou at this time, and made full preparations, as long as the other party appears, then directly leave Guan Yu in Jingzhou completely.
In this way, Jingzhou's morale was greatly shaken, and when the time came, he could take Jingzhou and then attack Liu Bei.
And here they are in order to be able to salvage the situation and make up for the losses.
It has to be so.... They must also cooperate with each other!
Guo Jia didn't say these words, but Cao Mengde already understood.
At this time, Cao Mengde's face also became heavy, perhaps because he suddenly felt that he had become the person used by Zhou Gongjin, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"In that case, isn't it dangerous for Yun Chang to go here?"
"This is the wrestling between Zhou Gongjin and Guan Yunchang, since there is a two-sided strategy, then he naturally also has a way to encircle and help.
At this time, Guan Yu returned to help, and Zhou Yu would definitely be prepared along the way.
If it was before, Jia would really be worried that Guan Yu would be directly fooled, but this time I found out that he Guan Yu was already different from the past.
Then there's really something to talk about in this matter.
And Jia thinks that Zhou Yu thinks well this time.
But Zhuge Kongming would never have expected this, otherwise the situation would not be so logical.
We have already seen how Pang Tong is able, Zhuge Liang can get such trust from the people of Chang'an, and he was even appointed to the important position of prime minister.
So.... Wanting to come to Jiangdong to send troops had long been expected by him.
Since this is the case, then Zhou Gongjin's response will definitely be expected by him..."
"Then Zhuge Kong Mingyuan is fighting outside the northern frontier, even if he comes back, how can he decide what happened here?" Although Cao Mengde had repeatedly lamented Zhuge Liang's ability before, he still felt that this was a little too frightening.
"Back then..."Guo Jia glanced up at Cao Mengde with some hesitation at this time, and then lowered his voice, "Xun Lingjun also did this back then..."
Strategize between the curtains, and win thousands of miles away....
