In July, Jingzhou's fast horses had already rushed to the north and south.
Liu Bei wrote a letter himself, sent an envoy to Jiangdong Moling and his party, and Jiangdong fellow cultivators, with Zhangling, Nanjun, Jiangxia, Fangling Jingbei four counties to cut Jiangdong, with General Zuo, Yuzhou Thorn History and Jingzhou Thorn History, and Jingzhou Mu Liu Cong to take charge of Xiangyang, Caiyang, Yicheng and other ten counties, set up Xiangyang County to govern it.
On this day, the wind and dust are blowing.
Cao Cao led the army to return to Xuchang, but the two troops of Lejin and Li Dian had arrived at the Yingchuan front, and Xun Yu gathered the troops of Yanzhou and Yuzhou Tuntian, and joined forces with them, with more than 30,000 people, and forced Xiangcheng.
Yingchuan was too guarded by Sima Fang to ask for help, and Guan Yu left Fu Shiren and Mi Fang to guard Caiyang, Huyang and other places, and personally led the army to camp north overnight and gallop to aid Yingchuan.
On the day of "Cao Cao's car can he return to defend Xuchang", Liu Bei, who was leading the army to march to Yingchuan overnight, immediately asked Sima Yi on his side.
"Northland exploration Malay report, after the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's account Guo Jia was seriously ill, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand the fatigue of the boat, Cao Cao's people, good at buying people's hearts, and they will take care of Guo Jia with the army."
"I heard that Guo Fengxiao offered ten victories and ten defeats before the Guandu War, and defeated Yuan Shao with the strategy of all the grass and trees, such virtuous, but it is difficult to escape the destiny of heaven, it should be jealous."
Liu Bei sighed and said.
"The lord doesn't need to worry, if Guo Jia dies, our army should have a better chance of winning this battle."
"Why is Zhongda so jealous of Guo Jiayun" Sima Yi and Liu Bei went hand in hand, and subconsciously rode their horses half a step behind, "My lord, it's not that Yi Chang is ambitious, but this person is far-sighted, and he is really a person who is born and good at military formations, even if I command an army, I can't be sure that I can defeat this person." ” Liu Bei's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "This time, our army marched on the five routes, and there was a grand scene of the former heroes fighting Dong, and he Cao Cao could not defend the land of Sanzhou."
Sima Yi sighed, "My lord, that Yuan Benchu, after the defeat of the army, was already bedridden, it was for the state and county rebels to make a rebellion, and he had to lead his troops and horses to suppress it, and now, I am afraid that he is no longer able to go south." ” "When Yuan Tan of Qingzhou was in the war, he confronted Cheng Yu and Lu Qian, and then got the Jiangdong Army to help in the war, Chen Gong led Zhang Liao and Zang Ba's soldiers to drive straight in, and lost Lu Qian and other soldiers, Cheng Yu also failed to take advantage of him, he should have twenty or thirty thousand elite soldiers."
"Where is the Lord's will to give up and persuade him to send troops" "Since he is the land of Mount Tai and Jibei, the humiliation of his father's official crossing, as a son of man, how can he not repay it" Sima Yi shook his head slightly, "Yuan Tan rat, now that the great cause is about to fall, he has no such thoughts, even if he sends troops, he should take advantage of the fire to rob after our army defeats Cao Cao, and send charcoal in the snow, the lord still don't have to worry about it." ” After marching for a few miles, Liu Bei looked at the pitch-black road in front of him, "Zhongda, after arriving in Yingchuan, our army can still defend the city, but Yingchuan has been occupied by Cao Cao for many years, and our foothold is not stable, so we can divide our troops to suppress various places to calm the people's hearts." ” "The will of the lord, but to take advantage of the situation to attack" "Naturally, Cao Cao's tired army, and now he has not personally led the army to come, when we can take advantage of the opportunity, I have ordered Yun Chang to lead 20,000 soldiers of Jingzhou to help, and now Jiangdong took the initiative to withdraw the troops of Nanjun and Zhangling, which is to help me fight with Cao Cao, if I miss the opportunity, for Jiangdong to take Huaibei and Xuzhou first, but it is not good."
Sima Yi smiled and pointed at Liu Bei, "Lord, Xiangcheng is only twenty or thirty miles away from Xuchang, he Cao Cao sent troops back to help, it was a last resort, but now Sun Quan is attacking Hanoi County, Liu Qi is attacking Xuzhou and Huaibei, and our three-way troops are advancing. ” Liu Bei pondered for a moment, he knew that he had betrayed Cao Cao frankly in Meiyuan and Cao Cao, and Cao Cao had completely angered him, and this Yingchuan was regarded as a forbidden state by Cao Cao, so he would obviously not give it up easily.
If Cao Cao wants to divide his troops to break the enemy on three routes, he should first attack his troops and horses.
The place where the couch is not allowed to sleep soundly, this has been the principle throughout the ages.
Since the three parties agreed to besiege Cao Cao, why did they abandon the help of the two sides Liu Bei pondered for a long time, and bowed his head slightly, "Zhongda's intention is exactly what I want, after arriving in Yingchuan, you should be in charge of dispatching the troops to meet Cao Cao." ” "Whoa."
Sima Yi immediately bowed his hand, and when he lowered his head, there was a bit of joy in his eyes.
Zhou Gongjin moved the world with twenty people, Xu Yuan went straight to Jiangdong to worship the general, and he Sima Zhongda was not bad.
Chen Liu, Cao Cao's former residence, Guo Jia was lying on the sickbed, coughing a few times from time to time, the room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, Cao Cao's clothes were untied, and he was waiting on one side.
It wasn't until Guo Jia woke up that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Guo Jia greets the lord."
"Filial piety is quickly exempted, you are sick, you must have a good life and recuperation, fight for days, eat and sleep in the open, but it is my inconsiderate fault."
"There is a labor lord who has been waiting for a long time, and Jia is guilty."
"How can Feng Xiao say this, although you are a minister, you are also a close friend."
"Lord, where is this?"
"Chen Liuwu's house."
"The two generals Mancheng and Wenqian have arrived in Yingchuan" "I just visited the horse to report, calculate the footsteps, and it should have arrived."
Guo Jia's face turned pale and let out a long breath, "In this way, Yingchuan can be guarded." ” "Fengxiao doesn't need to work hard for the army, you have a good life and recuperation, and after I return to Xuchang, I will personally lead the army and kill that Liu Bei Pifu."
Guo Jia glanced at Cao Cao deeply, "Lord, can our army still fight now?"
Cao Cao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "What does Feng Xiao mean by this?"
"That Kong Wenju went south, and gave Liu Qi an edict with a belt of clothes, Liu Qi in the name of the edict of clothes, recruited Sun Quan and Liu Bei to march into the three routes, and besieged the land of Wu Yan, Henan, Xu, and Si four states, and the troops of the Yuan Dynasty were often defeated, west of Chang'an, which has been completely owned by the princes of Guanzhong, and the party returned to Sun Quan, and Hanoi could not be defended, so Henan Yin must be in danger, and the lord could send Cheng Yu to lead the army to Henan Yin to sit in the town and dispatch, and the rest of the people were not Zhou Gongjin's land."
Cao Cao bowed, "I know." ” "Xuzhou cough cough" Guo Jia coughed a few times, so startled that Cao Cao immediately stepped forward to help, but saw Guo Jia waved his hand, "The land of Xuzhou, you can order Lu Qian's soldiers to retreat to Pengcheng, and Chen Qi to refuse to defend Peiguo and Langya. ” Cao Cao frowned slightly, "As soon as the land of Xuzhou is obtained, it must be abandoned" Guo Jia showed a wry smile on his face, "My lord, now Huaibei is in danger, in your opinion, then Liu Qiken withdrew Pang Tong and Lu Mengtun's troops stationed in Jingzhou, and now that more than half a month has passed, where should he go?"
Cao Cao thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly contracted, "Huaibei" "The lord also needs to order Chen Jue to be carefully stationed, Gao Shun, who is stationed in Xiapi, is not incompetent, and now Xu Shu led the army to cross the river and garrison in Huxian County, and the place coveted must be Pei Guoer."
Cao Cao got up and glanced outside the door, and immediately summoned the sergeant to send the edict out
