    After taking such a big turn, he finally got to the point. Lu Su finally knew that the fundamental purpose of Chen Zhen's visit was to prevent Jiangling from being attacked by Cao Ren.  Qi Gang Na cmn

    One of the main responsibilities of Lu Su, the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, is to alert Cao Ren's troops in Xiangyang. Now that Cao Ren's army of more than 20,000 soldiers has moved out to attack Jiangling southward, how could Lu Su not know this?

    "General Liu planned carefully and defeated all the handsome men. He is almost invincible. What can I do to help." The irony in Lu Su's words was still there.

    Chen Zhen laughed a few times and said, "Captain Lu is really over-the-top. Although our general is both wise and brave, he is still far behind the governor. The governor also knows that Ge Ren is taking advantage of the situation where our army is dealing with Guan Yu and suddenly raises troops."  During the siege of Jiangling, my general couldn't spare his time, so I wanted to ask Governor Lu to help."

    ?As expected.

    £®  £®  This ¬ì£®  £®  £®  You also know that right now my troops from Soochow are confronting Cao Cao in the southeast, and I can't spare any extra troops. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to help General Liu's gang.  "

    Lu Su obviously wanted to refuse. Everyone knew that Sun Quan had always been worried about Liu Liu in Jingzhou. Although he was currently fighting Cao Cao in the southeast with a weak force, there were still about 20,000 troops left by Lu Su on the front line of Jingzhou.  commander in chief.

    "Cao Cao left Cao Ren with only about 20,000 to 30,000 troops stationed in Xiangyang. If the Lu Governor can take action, although the military strength is still weak, with the advantage of the navy, it will not be a problem to force Cao Ren back." Chen Zhen further said.

    Lu Su looked a bit embarrassed, "Actually, I also want to help General Liu, but for such a big military matter, I have to send people to Yangzhou to ask Wu Hou for instructions. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth.  I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to help General Liu in time.¡±

    Lu Suyi, Rizai made excuses.

    Chen Zhen, however, was not anxious at all and sighed:.  £®  From this point of view, Jiangling will definitely fall into the hands of Cao Cao.  At that time, my general will have no choice but to retreat to the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River. The four counties are located in remote areas. I don't think Cao Cao has the courage to raise troops to seize them. It is likely that he will go east from Jiangling to attack Soochow like he did in the past. With the lessons learned from the last time,  Cao Cao will definitely be more cautious, but I wonder if Governor Lu can repeat the glory of Zhou Gongjin in Red Cliff this time?  "

    These words were like a ladle of cold water, pouring on Lu Su's head, causing him to shiver violently throughout his body, and a chill welling up in his heart.

    Lu Su had previously felt indignant because of Liu Feng's actions, so his thoughts were temporarily clouded by resentment. At this time, he was suddenly awakened by Chen Zhen's euphemistic reminder.

    After the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yushe risked his own life and spent all his efforts, almost losing his life, to capture Jiangling. What was it for, wasn't it to defend the upper reaches of Soochow?

    Now, if Cao Ren is allowed to capture Jiangling again and things happen again, will Soochow have to fight the Battle of Chibi again?

    "Perhaps Zhou Yu has the confidence to win, but Lu Su does not.

    After several weighings, Lu Su had to make a reluctant choice.

    Seeing that Lu Su was already shaken, Chen Zhen hurriedly said further: "In fact, the Marquis of Wu has entrusted all the power of Jingzhou to the hands of the governor, and the governor has the right to do things expediently. What's more, if the governor wants to force Yingren's army back, he doesn't need to use many means, he only needs to send  A naval force marches north from Xiakou, pretending to take advantage of the situation to attack Xiangyang, and Cao Ren will naturally retreat without fighting if he is frightened."

    Chen Zhen's plan was exactly what Pang Tong had thought of for Lu Su to retreat from the enemy. Pang Tong knew very well that even if Lu Su sent troops to help, he would not risk the money and food of the soldiers of Soochow to confront Cao Ren head-on.  The plan was enough to force back Ge Ren, who did not have enough soldiers and horses to be both offensive and defensive.

    At this time, Lu Su's mind had completely reversed from sitting back and doing nothing, but it was difficult to change too quickly in front of Chen Zhen, so he had to think deeply and said: "This matter is of great importance, please allow me to think about it carefully.  "

    Hearing Lu Su¡¯s words, Chen Zhen¡¯s undecided heart quietly settled.

    In Jiangling City, Chen Dao¡¯s life was not easy.

    Cao Ren's 20,000-strong army has been resting in Xiangyang for several years since the Battle of Jiangling a few years ago, recuperating and recuperating. Although they are no longer facing the same enemies as before, this group of Cao Ren's troops are  But he mistook Chen Dao for Zhou Yu and beat him severely.

    Outside Jiangling City, arrows were raining down every day, and cannons were firing. Ge Ren used all his strength to attack this city that once made him sad.

    However, Chen Dao is not a vegetarian.

    The newly recruited surrendered troops in Jiangling have now been taken to the south of the Yangtze River by Liu Feng. Only 3,000 direct Changsha troops remain in the city.  Because Jiangling City had just fallen, the people in the city were still undecided, and some forces loyal to Liu Bei were still ready to move, trying to take advantage of the approaching Cao army.?Take the opportunity to cause chaos.

    Because of this, Chen Dao had to send a thousand soldiers and horses to strictly control the stability of the city. As a result, only two thousand soldiers and horses could resist Cao's attack in a month.

    With an offense-defense ratio of ten to one, one can imagine the difficulties faced by Chen Dao.

    However, these two thousand or so people are not ordinary soldiers. They are based on the eight hundred soldiers Liu Feng brought from Xiakou. After years of fighting, they have now grown into elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles. Their combat effectiveness and will are not the same.  Not inferior to the elite Northern Army.

    Chen Dao relied on these two thousand elite men and the strong defense system of Jiangling City to tenaciously resist Cao Ren's several fierce attacks.

    Ten days later, Soochow began to react.

    Lu Su, the governor of the Western Front of Soochow, personally led 10,000 naval troops from Xiakou to the north and marched towards Xiangyang with great fanfare.  The dispatch of troops to Soochow did not surprise Cao Ren. Cao Ren led his army south this time. He originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Jiangling and capture the city before Soochow could react, but he did not expect Liu Fengjun to have such a plan.  With such powerful fighting power, he could hold on for ten days without falling.

    After giving up this God-given opportunity and returning in vain, Cao Ren felt that he was disgraced. He immediately sent five thousand troops back to Xiangyang to aid Xiangyang. At the same time, he ordered the Wenpin troops stationed on the Anlu front line to stop the attack in the Hanjin area.  The Wu navy went north.

    Cao Ren himself still led his army to continue to attack Jiangling.

    Chen Dao's life in Jiangling City was difficult, and Guan Yu's life in Chengxiang City was even more difficult.  After all, Jiangling had been accumulating grain for several years. Although Chen Dao fought hard, he had no worries about food and drink. Guan Yu was miserable.

    Since Liu Feng shot threatening letters into the city, the people in the city all hid food. Guan Yu's army was unable to collect food and grass from the people, and the five hundred disabled soldiers could only support themselves in hunger.

    In addition, Liu Feng was not idle outside the city. During the day, he led his troops to attack fiercely. At night, he sent small groups of soldiers and horses to take turns beating gongs and drums. He harassed Guan Yu's army for twelve hours and did not even let the enemy close his eyes for a moment.  .

    Ten days later, Guan Yu's 500 remnant soldiers, after reducing their casualties, only received less than 300 doses, and these 300 people had reached the edge of collapse in terms of physical strength and will.

    Just when Liu Feng was about to use all his strength to launch the most violent attack and completely destroy the enemy's will to resist, an unexpected letter sent from the city made Liu Feng temporarily change his mind.

    The soldier, who was so hungry that only his skin and bones were left, was sent a personal letter from Guan Yu.

    To be precise, it is a letter of surrender.

    Liu Feng read this letter of surrender very carefully. He still had an arrogant tone from beginning to end. His style was indeed exactly the same as Guan Yu's. He only reluctantly added a sentence of surrender at the end, hoping that Liu Feng could temporarily  Withdraw the hoard, let his three hundred men leave the city and return to Shu, and then let him open the city and surrender in a dignified manner.

    £®  £®  Sir, your handsome man is actually planning to surrender to me. What do you think?  Liu Feng handed the letter to Pang Tong and asked with a smile.

    Pang Tong glanced at it roughly, threw the letter on the ground, and sneered: "What's the surrender? It's obviously an opportunity to break out of the encirclement."

    Pang Tong's view coincided with that of Liu Feng. Based on his understanding of Guan Yu's character, losing Jingzhou was already humiliating. Now he lowered his dignity and surrendered to his life-long biggest enemy who had a grudge against his son.  Thinking of such a scene, even Liu Feng would feel embarrassed, let alone Guan Yu.

    £®  £®  How do you think I should respond?  Liu Feng asked.

    Pang Tong said without thinking: "Then Huanyue said, of course he is going to use the trick. My lord can definitely agree to Guan Yu and withdraw the troops west of Chengxiang. Guan Yu will definitely leave the city at night and flee west, and then my lord will set up an ambush halfway."  , hey hey one by one"

    Pang Tong¡¯s strategy made Liu Feng more and more excited, but he soon realized that he was facing a new problem.

    "There are only hundreds of remnants of Guan Yu. Once they fall into my ambush, they will have no way to escape. As for whether Guan Yu should be captured alive or simply killed, I would like to hear your opinion, sir." Guan Yu has a great reputation.  Cao Cao couldn't bear to kill him back then, but now Liu Feng is facing the same problem.

    "If the Lord captures Guan Yu alive and wants him to surrender and use it for the Lord's use, it will be equivalent to the night pool in the sky. If he releases Liu Bei, it will be like letting the tiger return to the mountain. If he is locked up alone, all the surrendered troops in Jingzhou will be his, Japanese Ministry,  It would be bad if one day he secretly colludes with Guan Yu and something happens.

    Pang Tong¡¯s words have already made his attitude clear.

    "For a person who cannot be surrendered, released, or imprisoned, there is only one way to deal with him."

    In his blade-like eyes, an unprecedented murderous aura was bursting out. Liu Feng looked solemn and already had a decision in his heart.

    At night, at the head of Chengxiang City.

      Guan Yu, who was covered with all over his eyes, looked west, and the first line outside the west city, which was light, was dark at this moment.

    Liu Feng indeed withdrew the siege as promised.

    £®  £®  General, without further ado, please set off as soon as possible. If you wait until daybreak, it will be too late.  " Zhao Lei, who was sallow and skinny, advised.

    "What will happen to you if I leave?" A rare hint of unbearability appeared on Guan Yu's face.

    Liao Hua said with tears in his eyes: "We will hold Liu Feng here to buy enough time for the general. Don't worry, general, we will defend this city until the general comes back with reinforcements to save us."

    At this point, Guan Yu had no choice. He was unwilling to die here.  Not willing to be Liu Feng's prisoner, he had this only choice.

    With a deep sigh, Guan Yu climbed up on the red rabbit and said with a fist:.  £®  Don't worry, I will definitely move in to reinforce the troops. Take care.  "

    Without further words, Guan Yu led more than a dozen horsemen, using the cover of night, to quietly leave the city, dash towards the west, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
