Chapter 25: Defeat

At this time, Fan Cheng, in Guan Yu's eyes, was a bone choked in his throat, swallowing, swallowing, spitting, and spitting. What's more, Liu Shengzhi came here in person, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers surrounded a small Fancheng, but he couldn't take it. Cao Ren, what did he do?

Soon after Liu Shengzhi came to Jingzhou, his name surpassed mine. His personal killing of the enemy greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers. In this way, even Mi Fang's eyes are not quite right when she looks at me. Naturally, it was impossible for me to attack the city in person, first, I didn't have a chance to show up, second, my skills were too poor, and third, I was afraid of death.

However, I don't think this stupid uncle wants to change his court.

At this time, Jiang Wu finally moved. The spies we sent out early reported that there were soldiers and horses in the Soochow camp. I urgently called my uncle Mi Fang and said, "Dongwu Guo wants to attack Jingzhou." ”

Mi Fang hurriedly said: "What should I do?" ”

I said, "Uncle has ever heard of Zheng Renxiangao. ”

Mi Fang was shocked: "The strings are high? Who is the string height? ”

Alas, my uncle didn't even know the story of such a famous string as high. I had to explain: "In the past, the Qin army attacked Zheng Guo, and on the way, Zheng Guo merchant Xiangao encountered it. He was in a hurry and gave the sheep to the commander of the Qin army, saying that it was a reward sent to him by Zheng Hou, so that the Qin army mistakenly thought that Zheng Guo was prepared and retreated. ”

"You mean we also reward Soochow? Let them think that we are prepared and do not send troops? ”

"It is impossible for them not to send troops, the arrow is on the string, and they have to send it. Just let him slow down a few steps, knowing that we have a defense. So we don't need to be rewarded, just send someone across the river to say it. ”

Zhuge Qiao and I had already taught a well-spoken lieutenant: "After crossing the river, you went to Lu Xun and asked him two questions, one is that Lu Dudu is sick in Jingzhou?" The second is that in the law of the transitional river, in addition to turning into a businessman, are there any other tricks? ”

What we have to do now is to delay the time for Jiangdong to attack, so that Guan Yu has time to rush back to the rescue.

Jiang Wei had more methods, in order to prevent the officers and soldiers on the beacon tower along the river from slackening, he actually sent several teams, each dressed in white, pretending to be Jiangdong businessmen to harass them. Still not at ease, he sent a team of men and horses to patrol along the river, found the situation, and immediately lit a beacon fire.

If this is the case, Jingzhou is prepared, and there should be no problem in defending for ten days and a half. I think Guan Yu will come back at that time, although it is inevitable to lose the battle, but it is better not to lose the armor without leaving a piece of armor. This time, Cao Sun's two troops came to attack, and it was no longer important whether they could defend or not, the important thing was to save everyone's lives, so that my father would not lose his mind and attack Soochow. As for Jingzhou, I don't believe it was safe and sound under the combined attack of Cao Cao's army of five or six hundred thousand and Sun Quan's tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

Thinking like this, I sighed, this is the best I can do, if I can't change Guan Yunchang's fate, then I don't have any way.

Power, at this moment I want to have it, with it, I don't have to do things like this to hide and hide, I can justifiably mobilize every army, I can gather all kinds of talents in a righteous and bright way, and I can even drag the second uncle's beard and say, your beard is too proud, let's cut it.

Thinking like this, I fell asleep in a daze. Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside, and I jumped up in fright and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

One of the soldiers replied: "There is a fight!" "I looked into the distance, and the faint sky, there was a fire the size of a bean, although it was small, but it seemed so obvious in the night.

I was in turmoil for a while, and my originally determined heart suddenly became a mess, and I wondered for a while, will Jingzhou be lost? For a while, I thought, what if Dongwu feinted to attack Jingzhou and actually attacked Jiangling? I couldn't help but say to myself, "Be quiet, be quiet, and think about it again, what's the problem?" Xuan also resented the lack of information, all news relied on people to transmit, and the authenticity and accuracy of Tanma's information were difficult to guarantee. The carrier pigeon that Mr. Kong Ming gave me was already in the middle of the river when I entered the Sichuan, and it would be nice to have a carrier pigeon at this time.

Just thinking about it, Wang Rui came in, and he asked me, "Are you afraid?" ”

I said, "Don't be afraid." ”

He asked me again, "Are you sleepy?" ”

I said, "No, I'm not sleepy." ”

He nodded: "The camp is in chaos, only you are still quiet here, I will borrow your bed to sleep for a while to replenish your spirit." ”

Three days later, the news came that Pan Jun, who was left behind by Guan Yu in Jingzhou, had actually surrendered!

It's down!! We looked at each other in disbelief, Jingzhou actually fell!

Mi Fang was furious: "This shameless villain! Dispatch troops! Dispatch troops! I'm going to kill him! After shouting a few words, seeing that the three of us didn't speak, he smiled to himself, "I'm angry, Guan Er faction is such a person guarding Jingzhou, it's really foolish, for today's plan, what should it be?" ”

I was also confused in my heart, I originally thought that with the danger of Jingzhou, coupled with early preparation, even if it could not be defended for more than half a year like Fancheng, it should be no problem to hold it for a few months, as long as Jingzhou is in hand, Guan Yu's military heart will not be a corner, and you can wait for the arrival of Shu army reinforcements, even if the reinforcements do not come, you can calmly return to the army from the waterway. What's more, when Cao Sun's troops converge, there must be problems with the cooperation between them, even if they don't fight each other, they won't be able to attack me together. I don't know that I ignore the human factor. Once Jingzhou is lost, the situation in the south is no longer possible, and Jiangling is a city, but thousands of people can't resist the elite of Eastern Wu at all. What's more, I didn't want to resist at all, in my heart, Jingzhou couldn't hold it at all without the cooperation of Eastern Wu, not to mention that at this time, I was facing the troops of Cao and Sun's two ministries.

Zhuge Qiao said: "My father Zhuge Jin once said that Lu Mengqi is strategic, not under Zhou Lang, and if he has Jingzhou, he will attack the public security, how about Fu Shiren?" ”

Mi Fang smiled bitterly: "Fu Shiren offended Guan Er, I'm afraid of ......"

"Okay, General Mi, please follow me and Jiang Wei to the public security, kill this person, and seize his military power."

Mi Fang was shocked: "Killing a big man without guilt is a capital crime." ”

Jiang Wei's chin was raised proudly, and he whispered in his ear: "Only the living can condemn others to death!" ”

The three generals are gone, and I'm going to get ready. At this time, it's time to show my identity, and if I don't show it again, I can't do anything. I sat on a high handsome seat and said to Wang Rui next to me: "Beat the drum and gather the generals!" ”

Standing on the high head of Gangneung, watching the soldiers and horses like ants heading north, and looking at the gradually empty city, I still felt a burst of sourness. The soldiers and horses are gone, but the civilians here will be hurt by the war. However, can I take them away, my father crossed the river with the people, but it was just a killing poke on the long board slope. I'd better not make that mistake. What's more, Lu Meng is also a good governor who loves the people.

I walked slowly down the city, surrounded by two lieutenants beside my uncle Mi Fang, who were ordered to protect me and obey my orders. One is a person from Jingzhou, named Yao Shui, and the other is a general in Xuzhou, who is called Dian Meng and is quite brave.

What I have to do now is to join Guan Yu as soon as possible and flee to Shangyong before the soldiers' hearts collapse. A wrong move, painstaking management has become a breakthrough, with preparation, why down?

Mi Fang, Jiang Wei, and Zhuge Qiao led Fu Shiren's subordinates to block the pursuing troops of Eastern Wu along the road. At that time, they took advantage of the chaos in Jingzhou, pretending to be the king's order, and suddenly captured Fu Shiren. He also tricked Yu Fan, an official of Eastern Wu who persuaded him to surrender, into the city and captured him in one fell swoop. The evidence was all there for a while, and Mi Fang was Liu Bei's in-law, so naturally most of them believed that most of the public security people were taken out.

I let the vanguard escort the grain and grass first, and there is no safer place than the vanguard in this campaign. I just hope that Guan Yu doesn't have too many people, and he doesn't eat all the grain and grass at once. After eating this grain, there is no place to collect supplies.

In the middle of the line, I suddenly heard someone come to report: "Young master, the left flank has found the enemy!" ”

"Array!" My heart was beating wildly, Lu Meng's speed was too fast, he actually bypassed Mi Fang and the others' broken rear troops, and they had already chased here. Looking at the distance, there was actually a group of cavalry, about 100 people, fighting under the banner of Soochow. There are very few cavalry in Jiangnan, and many soldiers have no experience in dealing with cavalry. Just as he was about to command, he suddenly turned to the deputy general next to him and said fiercely: "You come to command?" Give you three hundred infantry and three hundred crossbowmen, and destroy them, and if you can't destroy them, you will also inflict heavy damage on them, and you will not let them bite us. ”

I replied to Yao Shui: "Let's take people back north quickly and join General Guan." ”

At this time, the news of Guan Yu's defeat had already come, and I was only afraid that Guan Yu still had the idea of retaking Jingzhou, so I was afraid that the opportunity to escape would also be lost, so I sent people to transmit military information several times in a row, and told him to leave from Shangyong in Mi Fang's tone. He didn't mention my name because if he knew that I was coming to the end, he would have come to the rescue. A man as arrogant as he is, no matter how much he looks down on me, he will not let me be in danger. Speaking in Mi Fang's tone, it is more likely that he will not listen, but I don't hope to move him, I just hope that after getting accurate news, Guan Ping, Wang Fu and others around him can talk about him.

Sure enough, the cavalry of Soochow was just fighting, not fighting, and when they saw the opportunity, they swooped into the team and took a bite, and when they saw that they were about to be surrounded, they fled immediately. Although Dian Meng has experience in fighting with cavalry, he is still helpless when he encounters this kind of kraft candy-like character. I couldn't help but deeply admire Lu Meng's way of using troops. But there are still opportunities, and finally one day, in a reed, this group of men and horses was ambushed by us, shooting and wounding dozens of cavalry, and only a few horses escaped, which can be regarded as getting rid of their entanglement.
