When I arrived at the road, the sky was already bright, and I saw a soldier and horse under the banner of "Xiahou" coming to Nanjun.

"What is the general doing here without guarding Xiangyang?" Cao Ren said.

"You sent a messenger with a tiger talisman to me for help, and I brought soldiers and horses to come, why did you ask me instead?"

"We've all fallen for Duan Dahu's tricks. Cao Ren said angrily: "He took advantage of the fierce battle between me and Wu Bing, raided from the north gate, took Nanjun, captured Chen Jiao, seized my talisman, and used his soldiers to pretend to be my subordinates, and asked you to raise all the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang to save me, but at this moment I am afraid that Xiangyang will also be taken." ”

"This Duan Dahu is really scheming, he only hates that he didn't kill him at the beginning, and today he will suffer endlessly, what should we do now?"

"Go back to Xuchang and ask the prime minister for guilt. ”

"Duan Dahu, this stinky boy, if it falls into my hands, he will definitely be cut with a thousand knives to relieve the hatred in my heart. ”

In Nanjun City, Duan Dahu was facing a plate of fish cakes in front of the table and complained: "Zhuge Liang, if you don't come again, Uncle Huang, this fish cake will go into my tiger's belly." "The first thing I did when I took Nanjun was to find a cook to make this delicious Jingzhou fish cake. People still have to have some ideals, what if they come true?

In the blink of an eye, he sneezed fiercely.

"Report to the general, the two military divisions have arrived. ”

"Please. ”

"Hahaha" Before Zhuge Liang entered the door, he heard Zhuge Liang's laughter first: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, take the nine counties of Nanjun and Jingxiang, and they will all return to the lord overnight." ”

"The military advisor made fun of me, if there was no military advisor to plan for me, how could I take this southern county without spending a single soldier. ”

"We took Nanjun, which can be said to have completely offended Sun Quan. At the moment, we can't afford to mess with anyone, do you have a way to deal with it, lord?" Liu Bei walked to the table, grabbed a few fish cakes and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Hmm. The fish cakes in this Jingxiang land are really delicious. Liu Bei and the others had been busy all night, and they were hungry at the moment, so they picked up the fish cake and ate it.

Seeing that Liu Bei ate so with relish, he thought that he was too tired and hungry this night, and his heart was very moved

"Cao Ren has a very good cook in this house, and I will ask him to cook you some more food later. ”

"Although we have captured Nanjun, Zhou Yu's army is coming in an instant, and we have to think of a way to deal with it. Otherwise, we'll lose all our efforts. Liu Bei said.

"At present, our alliance with Sun Quan is still there, Cao Cao will still have some scruples, we can only slowly deal with Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, and we must not act recklessly. "Zhuge Liang said,

"Hmm. The two of them also worked hard in the middle of the night, so it was better to eat something at this moment and make plans again. As he spoke, he instructed his subordinates to simply set up a banquet, and summoned all the civil and military generals to celebrate.

Jiang Qin led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat all the way, but he was bumping into Zhou Yu leading the army. explained in detail to Zhou Yu the defeat of Nanjun.

Zhou Yu reprimanded angrily: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, we should have taken advantage of the low morale of the Cao army to pursue the victory. Someone came, pulled Jiang Qin aside, and beheaded the public. ”

There were already warriors on the left and right who stepped forward to hold Jiang Qin down.

"Dadu Governor, Jiang Qin once followed General Sun Ce, fought in the south and the north, pacified the thieves, worked hard, and asked the general to spare his life. Lu Su said.

"yes. Gan Xing also said: "General Jiang Qin is loyal, and this rash attack of the enemy is also to share the worries of the governor, and ask the general to spare his life." ”

Zhou Yu saw that the generals were pleading for mercy, and he had no intention of killing him, but he was angry, so he walked down the steps of everyone: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, drag Jiang Qin down and beat fifty military sticks." Ding Feng and Xu Sheng advised meritorious service, reduced 20 military sticks, and notified the whole army to set an example. ”

"Report to ----- Governor. ”

"Tan Malai reported that Duan Dahu took advantage of the fierce battle between Cao Ren and our army to sneak attack Nanjun, and at this moment Nanjun already belongs to Duan Dahu. ”

"What? ”

Sure enough, my fears were fulfilled. I waited for a long time, but the city was occupied by him. Zhou Yu couldn't help but be very annoyed.

"Let's take Xiangyang at this moment, if we take Xiangyang, it won't be in vain. Lu Su said.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "If Nanjun is lost, Duan Dahu is afraid that in the name of Cao Ren, he will be able to transfer Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses away from Xiangyang without much effort, and Xiangyang City will probably be under Duan Dahu's control at this moment." ”

"Summoning the whole army, the target is Nanjun City, I want to cut Duan Dahu, a capricious villain, with a thousand knives. Zhou Yu said angrily.

"Governor, don't be so reckless. Although Cao Cao has just lost the battle, he is still in the north, and he may attack Nanjun again at any time. In any case, it was better for Nanjun to be in the hands of Duan Dahu than in the hands of Cao Cao, who had a very close personal relationship with Duan Dahu. If we force Duan Dahu into a corner, follow Cao Cao, and attack us together, the gains outweigh the losses. Lu Su said.

"What Zi Jing said is also reasonable, even so, you go to Nanjun for me to explore Duan Dahu's reality. Zhou Yu calmed his anger

"I'm willing to take this for the governor. ”

Lu Su received Zhou Yu's order and went straight to Nanjun to call the door. Duan Dahu saw that it was Lu Su coming, so he hurriedly opened the city gate to welcome Lu Su into the city, and ordered his subordinates to watch tea. Everyone greeted each other for a while.

Lu Su returned to the truth and preached: "My lord, and the governor asked me to make it clear to the general this time, not long ago Cao Cao led a million troops south, nominally to take the land south of the Yangtze River, but in fact it was for the general to come, my lord to save the general, raised troops to resist the enemy, defeated Cao Cao in Chibi, soldiers and horses spent countless money and food, it is reasonable, Jingxiang nine counties should belong to my Dongwu. Now the general took advantage of the fire to rob Nanjun and Xiangyang. I'm afraid it doesn't make sense. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Zijing's words are wrong. Since my lord has received money and food from the governor, he is always thinking about how to contribute to the governor. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, Cao Ren did his best to fight with the Eastern Wu, at this moment the Nanjun city is bound to be empty, my lord saw that the metropolitan governor has never moved, seized this fleeting fighter plane, and took the southern county city for the metropolitan governor! Who knows that not only did he not get the governor's gratitude, but he also had the intention of blaming the metropolitan governor. It's chilling. ”

Lu Su was speechless after choking on his words, and wanted to refute it, but he felt that what Zhuge Liang said was not unreasonable.

"Let the governor of your family relax, since my lord has formed an alliance with Dongwu Yong, then whoever takes this southern county will be the same. Not all of us are from our own family. Liu Bei said.

Duan Dahu also echoed: "Yes, in the future, if your lord lacks something, he will lack something." Just come to me and get it, as long as I have it, I will definitely help you. ”

Lu Su thought to himself: "This is not unreasonable. I will go back and report to the Lord and the Governor, and then make a decision. ”
