The news that Lü Meng, the commander of the Wu army, was seriously ill soon spread the word.

Immediately afterwards, the Jiangxia barbarians on the south bank either plundered the grain routes in Jiangdong under the organization of Ma Liang, or attacked and harassed the Shanyue tribes near Exian and Chaisang, in response to the uprising.

This made Lu Xun's subordinates unable to assist He Qi, who led his troops, to quell the rebellion at all.

Also due to Arima Liang's mediation and planning, in the face of Lu Xun and Han Dang's joint counterattack, he also relied on the terrain again and again to escape into the deep mountains and turn the danger into a disaster.

When Jiangxia barbarians ravaged the south bank and could not solve the problem of the main general's illness, and the situation spread to the Wu army all over the south bank, the soldiers and generals under his command had no fighting spirit and the morale of the army was low.

And the good situation on the south bank of Jiangxia soon spread to the Jingzhou army camp that was leading his troops to besiege Xiangyang.

In the big tent.

Nearly nine feet long, with gray sideburns, wearing a navy blue battle robe, lying on silkworm eyebrows, and the former general Guan Yu with red phoenix eyes was sitting on the upper seat, picking up a stack of military reports and inspecting them carefully.

"Okay, okay,"

After watching it for a long time, Guan Yu applauded, and at the same time, a few points of joy appeared on his rosy cheeks, and a pair of pupils were full of appreciation, and he said sideways:

"Zhou Cang, if the general remembers correctly, at the beginning of last month, Lu Meng led his troops to take advantage of the emptiness of our army's rear to cross the river in disguise as a merchant ship and cross the river in white to attack the Fengsui along the river, Gong'an City, and it was this kid who appeared in time to stabilize the situation in Jiangling, right?"

As soon as these words fell, the guards who served at any time from the side, whose face was like black charcoal, and whose body was as burly as an iron pimple, quickly responded with a fist when he heard the news:

"General Qiyuguan, that's exactly the case."

"According to the military report that the former governor Zhao Lei, who was ordered by Major General to lead thousands of soldiers and horses to abandon boats and ships, abandon boats and ships, and go south by land to relieve the crisis of the siege of Jiangling, he truthfully sent people back,"

"Huo Yi just stayed at home for his father and kept filial piety for three years, and at the end of the three years, he was ordered by the king to inherit the position of his father Huo Zhong Miaobi as a general, and led the old department to assist our army in attacking Xiangfan."

"But after Huo Yi received the king's order, he first chased back General An Han who came to pass the king's order under the moon and returned to Jingzhou to sit in the town."

"Then he took the lead and arrived in Jiangling City with his troops, and worked together with the remaining lord Bo Liaohua to find out the Nanjun Taishou who was lured by Jiangdong and wanted to move the city to annex."

"After controlling Mi Fang, General Huo Yi planned to trick Lu Meng into leading his troops to take over the city, so he set up an ambush in advance to break more than 2,000 people in front of the Wu army, won a big victory first, and stabilized the hearts of the troops in the city."

"In exchange for the captured Wu prisoners of war, our captured public security garrisons and Fengsui prisoners along the river increased the garrison strength of Jiangling City to 5,000."

"Huo Yisui also took this 5,000 soldiers and horses as the basis, supplemented by the recruitment of Cao soldiers, prisoners of war to defend the city, and successively repelled the many offensives of the main force of Jiangdong led by Lu Meng, and held the city without losing."

"Later, I heard that Pan Zhang, the general of Jiangdong, did not listen to the order and slaughtered the city without authorization, so Huo Yi seized the opportunity to immediately encourage the people of the soldiers defending the city to wave their troops and kill them, killing the Wu army in defeat."

"As a result, Lü Meng could only retreat to the riverside confrontation and did not dare to go ashore, and the tense situation in Jiangling was resolved."

At this point, Zhou Cang's expression became more and more serious, and he paused and continued to arch his hand and say loudly:

"The next thing is that Huo Yi selected the elite from among them, and went west along the river to the south of Yidao, and quietly crossed the river to the south to Wuling County, conspired with Fan Ling, and secretly appeased the Wuxi barbarians to help in the war."

"Everything is ready, Huo Yi followed Lu Meng's white clothes to cross the river to the east, crossed the Yuanshui, and attacked the Baqiu, the important land of Changsha County."

"And in the confrontation, he beheaded Huang Gai, a veteran of Jiangdong who had gone through three generations of virtue, and then captured the Wu warship and decisively abandoned Baqiu, went down the river to take Lukou, attacked Chaisang, and played with Jiangdong generals in applause according to Xiakou."

"Recently, I heard that the major general handed over the command and Huo Yi, and when I heard that Wen Ping and his troops on the north bank of Jiangxia went south in a vain attempt to respond to the Wu army, they were led by the major general to attack Anlu City."

After a few words, Zhou Cang truthfully told Huo Yi's glorious deeds in the past month.

Hearing the highlight moment of Huo Yi's transition from guarding Jiangling to taking Lukou, Guan Yu reached out and touched the long hair on his chin, and the color of appreciation in his eyes undoubtedly became stronger.

"Is this kid really an unborn general?"

He secretly groaned in the depths of his heart, and then looked at Zhou Cang with a smile and said, "If it weren't for the blockade of Hanshui to prevent the Cao army on the north bank from going south, I really wanted to go back immediately to meet this kid." ”

"Yes, Huo Shaoxian's ability to use troops this time can be called exquisite."

Not only Guan Yu is quite favored, but Zhou Cang is also full of praise for it.

"Under the moon, I chased Mi Zizhong back to Jiangling, and stabilized the overall situation of Jingzhou in the days when I was not in the rear."

"It's a great sense of the big picture."

"The plan will be to defeat Lu Meng, and take this opportunity to exchange for prisoners of war."

"This is wonderful wisdom."

"It is bold to recruit Cao soldiers and prisoners of war to help defend the city."

"Bring the troops to cross the river to the south of the Yangtze River, cut off the Huanggai, attack Lukou, break Chaisang, and hold the initiative in the war in their hands according to Lukou."

"It's a strategy!"

"In the face of the offensive of the Cao and Wu armies, they were not chaotic in the face of danger, looking for fighters to kill them with one blow."

"This is the way of using soldiers."

After pondering for a long time, Guan Yu slowly summarized the characteristics of his use of troops, and the joy on his face seemed to be overflowing, and he couldn't hide it anymore.

"Such a good general with both wisdom and courage is still young, and he is the future of our army!"

After that, Guan Yufu thought that he was already an old man who was almost over sixty years old, and said with relief.

For him, he naturally hopes that there will be more young leaders like Huo Yi in his army.

Without this, we can shoulder the burden of reviving the Han Dynasty.

Only when they are old can they inherit the mantle and fight for the thief.

Zhou Cang, who has followed Guan Yu for decades, is quite familiar with Guan Yu's temperament, and looking at the smile that appears in his current expression, he also knows that he is very excited in his heart, and can't help but smile and say:

"However, it is precisely because Huo Shaoxian is wise and brave that the situation in our rear can be turned from danger to safety, but because he ordered the Wu army to gather the south bank of Jiangxia to confront each other."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid we will be very passive."

These words fell, and Zhou Cang said with a happy face.

By now, they all know that Jiangdong has done a lot of work behind this sneak attack.

Secretly contacted the Cao family and declared himself a vassal to Cao Cao.

Lu Meng returned to Jianye on the pretext of recuperation, and Lu Xun, who was not well-known and was just a scholar, went to Lukou to confuse himself and did not have the intention of attacking Jingzhou.

He also sent Jiang Qin and his troops north along the Han River to intercept their own reinforcements.

Lü Meng personally led the crowd to pretend to be merchants and crossed the river in white clothes on a merchant ship.

Under this kind of preparation, Rao is Guan Yu couldn't help but be afraid.

"Looking back and thinking about it, just because Jiangdong has made so many preparations this time, if there is no Huo Yi's birth, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold the rear!"

Guan Yu groaned for a while, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Zhou Cang listened to it and said clearly, "Yes, there was no Huo Shao who first found out Mi Fang who was lured to surrender, and there was no him to chase General An Han to sit in Jingzhou." ”

"Our army is in danger!"

When Zhou Cang heard this, he also echoed it one after another.

"This kid commands the people quite flexibly, in my opinion, the way of using troops must not be under his father Huo Zhongmiao, when this battle is over, I must introduce it to the king."

When the words fell, Guan Yu spit out solemnly, "It has been more than a month since Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes, and I don't know if the messenger sent to Shuzhong has arrived safely?" ”
