When Wu Wei and Pang Lin escorted Zhuge Liang to board the car and boat to cross the river, Zhuge Liang looked at the turbulent river flowing eastward, his mind was complicated, he knew that this time he went south, I was afraid that it would be difficult to return north in his lifetime.
"Calculate the hour, at noon, General Guan should lead the army to Xiangyang."
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly in one hand, he went south on this trip, and walked Liu Bei's footsteps to attack all parts of Yuzhou, on the way along the ancient road of the Jiangdong Army because of the war, let him see the majestic Jiangdong Army formation, and also let him see the two generals of the Jiangdong Army, Gan Ning and Xu Huang.
Zhuge Liang secretly estimated the two of them in his heart, "Gan Xingba can be the vanguard of breaking the enemy's attack camp, and Xu Huang can be the commander of the division." ” He and his old friend Pang Shiyuan met for the first time in Jiangxia Taishou Mansion, and the two of them just talked for one night, drank a bottle together, and then hurriedly said goodbye.
Going south, Zhuge Liang didn't know what his future was, he only knew that when he went to Moling, he must meet with the Marquis of Wu first, why that person could calculate where he was, and sent a sergeant to guard him for several years, and his two siblings and uncles were under his tent, but he didn't know that even if there was no one to guard him, he couldn't bear to leave them.
Zhuge Liang thought of Uncle Liu Huang who looked at the thatched house three times that day, that person may be the lord he longed for in his heart, but it is a pity that in this life, I am afraid that he will not be able to be an official under his account.
Just when his mind was in a mess, on the ancient road of Xiangyang, hundreds of elite horsemen drove in, and the horse infantry army in the rear team was left by Guan Yu to the deputy general Guan Ping, who was beside him, followed by Zhou Cang, who was holding a knife for him on weekdays, stroked his beard with one hand, and immediately outside the Shili Pavilion.
In the distance, he saw a fast horse approaching, "The person who came was General Guan" "It's Guan."
Guan Yu said with a smile.
"Liu Tingshi has ordered us to wait here for a long time, the general please come with us, at this moment Xiangyang up and down, looking forward to Uncle Liu Huang's old line, now the assassin Shi is leading Jingzhou civil and military, waiting outside the city gate, and also invite the general to enter the city."
Guan Yu followed the answering officials to a mile in front of the city gate, and he suddenly ordered to stop his horse.
"Why didn't the general enter?"
Guan Yu didn't answer, but he saw that there were a lot of soldiers in the city, and there were still people with bows and arrows, so he was a little more cautious in his heart.
"Liu Cong, the assassin of Jingzhou, visited Uncle Liu Huang for his deceased father, I don't know if Uncle Huang has come" In the distance, the civil and military officials of the brigade walked to the front and walked in front of the person, but it was the new Jingzhou Assassin Liu Cong.
"My brother is busy with official business, so he ordered Guan to come."
Guan Yu turned over and dismounted, handed the long knife in his hand to Zhou Cang, and returned the salute to Liu Cong, "The last general, Guan Yu, meet Liu Yuanjun." ” "I have heard of General Guan's brave name, but when I see it today, it is really majestic."
Liu Cong met Guan Yu's non-angry and threatening gaze, and his heart trembled slightly, but he replied with an angry smile.
Not long after, Liu Cong introduced Guan Yu to the Jingzhou civil and military forces behind him.
Guan Yu glanced at Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, and then at Liu Xian, Han Song, and Wang Cang, "Why haven't you seen the two generals Wen Ping and Huo Jun?"
Before Guan Yu's trip, the military advisor confessed and asked him to pay more attention to the Kuai brothers, the generals and the Jingzhou army among the ministers, and only these two people were brave and strategic.
"General Huiguan, General Wenpin is still stationed in Jiangling and fighting with the Jiangdong Army, and General Huo Jun has moved to Yicheng to garrison."
Guan Yu bowed slightly, and when he heard the footsteps behind him, he saw that Guan Ping had led a large group of foot soldiers to the front.
"Please also invite the general into the city."
This is Liu Cong's second invitation.
Guan Yu returned the salute to him, and solemnly stretched out a hand forward, "Liu Yuanjun, please." ” "Please."
After entering the Assassin's Mansion, Guan Yu shirked, and sat at the bottom right, "Guan is here, one is at the invitation of the Assassin Shi, and the other is at the order of his brother, however, there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses in our army, and the soldiers of the brigade still have the commanders under my lord's command and Cao Cao to fight fiercely in the Central Plains, and they cannot be mobilized. ” "I heard that the emperor's uncle has been named the Son of Heaven and has been crowned the general as the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion" Guan Yu stroked his beard when he heard this, "That's right." ” "Please supervise the military of Jingzhou and resist the troops of Jiangdong."
Liu Cong hurriedly got up and said.
Guan Yu pondered for a moment, and then saw Liu Xian, the other driver on the opposite side, take the lead in getting up, "Please also ask General Guan not to shirk, the general will warm wine and kill Huaxiong, and fight Lu Bu bravely outside the Tiger Prison Pass, which is a world-famous general, and there are countless braves in the Jiangdong army, only the courage of the general can stop it." ” "If General Guan is short of food, grass and ordnance, we can collect it for the general from all over Jingzhou, and we will be able to supply the general's needs within a few days."
Guan Yu stroked his beard with one hand, "Dare to ask the history of the assassination, how many soldiers and horses are there in the Jiangdong Army" Liu Cong looked at Kuai Yue, who met his gaze and lined up towards Guan Yu: "Jiangxia Pang Tong's department, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, Xu Huang, Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Zhang Yun's department, Nanjun Lu Meng's account, there are Jiangdong naval divisions Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin's soldiers, as well as Wei Yan, Huang Zhong's soldiers, soldiers and horses should be 50,000 people, if the two roads are approaching my Xiangyang, even if there is General Wenpin, General Huo Jun's town should be guarded by 50,000 elite sieges. ” Guan Yu groaned for a moment, "Dare to ask the history of the assassination, how many soldiers and horses are there in this Jingzhou" Liu Cong sighed, "Don't hide it from the general, except for the soldiers guarding Fangling County, the land of Xiangyang, Zhangling, and Nanjun, except for the 15,000 elite soldiers of General Wenpin, there are less than 20,000 people left." ” Guan Yu squinted, "I must recruit 50,000 soldiers and horses on the spot before I can fight with the Jiangdong Army." ” Han Song's face changed slightly, "General Guan, the Jiangdong Army is menacing, and the Jiangdong Army is victorious, and the morale is flourishing, and the troops will come to the city in the near future, even if our army recruits sergeants, I am afraid that it will take three or five months of training before we can go into battle, so how can the Jiangdong Army wait for us to wait for three or five months?"
Guan Yu squinted, "Now that Zhangling has been lost, these soldiers and horses can cross Yicheng and go straight to Xiangyang, if I want to lead the army to recapture Zhangling, I need troops to besiege the city." ” Speaking of this, he glanced at Kuai Liang, "If Jingzhou's strength is not enough, I can pass on the letter to my brother and transfer the old battalion soldiers and horses, but this money, food, and ordnance" At this time, a group of civil and military officials in Jingzhou suddenly realized that Guan Yu was not suitable for these twists and turns, and he went around in a big circle, and he actually wanted to ask for food, grass and ordnance.
"This matter is easy, as long as General Guan can repel the troops in Jiangdong, I will immediately allocate 100,000 stone grain and grass for you."
Liu Cong waved his hand, he was as arrogant as a cloud, he had the continuation of Liu Biao's survival for many years, and several major scholars in Jingzhou to rely on, the current situation, he lacked soldiers and major generals, and there was no available general to relieve the siege of Jingzhou, but there was no shortage of money and food.
"In this way, the grain and grass can be transported to the front line of Caiyang, and I can send troops to meet Pang Tong on the same day."
Guan Yu stroked his beard with one hand, and couldn't help but feel a little complacent in his heart.
He Guan Yunchang, and now he also has to command tens of thousands of troops to fight Jiangdong on the battlefield.
Thinking back to the battle of Huainan that year, his three brothers had only thousands of soldiers under their command, and tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops were Cao Mengde, who ruled the world, and he did not dare to wipe his edge.
At that time, the three of his brothers were like a broken family, with nowhere to call home, and they were really a little envious in their hearts
