Returning to Jingzhou, after receiving the support of Yuzhou reinforcements, Cao Ren was overjoyed, and he decided to regain the lost Huarong. In addition, in cooperation with the Zhulu Army, the northern part of Jiangxia was thoroughly swept away, and the strategic space of the Yangzhou Army was further compressed.

What Cao Ren wants to do is naturally unwilling to do it on the Jiangxia side. The two sides faced each other, and the soldiers and horses were mobilized again and again. Cao Ren had reinforcements, and Zhou Yu also had strong reinforcements, and the courage on both sides was suddenly coarse. I can't wait to meet each other immediately and send the enemy to death.

As a result, the battle for Huarong took the lead.

Huang Zhong stayed in Puyang to guard Linxiang, led his troops to the north, passed through Dongting, and Tunbaqiu. Yu Ban also mobilized soldiers and horses in Xiaoling, and set up a water village on the riverbank.

Li Tong led the Nanyang soldiers, the soldiers were divided into two routes, one way down the river, and Zang Ba converged, attacking the hometown of Ju and Nanxin City under the green forest mountain, and the other way to Xiangyang, crossing the Han River, hitting Zhangshan and Yundu.

Cao Ren made Cai Mao and Huang Xuan rate the water and land in parallel to attack Huarong. Jingzhou suddenly, the storm was everywhere. Artemisia grass withers yellow, the weather turns cold, geese fly south, snakes and insects are hidden. This time, I don't know how many good sons and daughters will be gone.

Here, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu did not show weakness. Jiang Qin was left to guard Xiling, and Zhou Tai was to guard Anlu. Then he discussed: "Anlu has Yundu in the north and Nanxin City as barriers, no matter how many Cao Jun there are, they won't be able to break me for a while." There is only the Han River that road army, coming along the water, you can hit Zhangshan and Jingling, and you can force Huarong around Jingling, and you must not guard against it. ”

Zhou Yu didn't forget that when he attacked Huarong, he took the road of Jingling. When Cheng Pu heard this, he also thought so, so as soon as the two of them combined, they simply raised troops to Anlu, pretending to be suspicious soldiers, but secretly made Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang raise 10,000 troops and sneak to Jingling.

Here, Cao Ren is also calculating. He said to the generals: "Now that our army has moved, Jiangxia will have a response." If you want to take Huarong, you must break the tomb. Cheng Pu is old, Zhou Yu is wise, and he must attack Jingling. Is there a way to deal with it? ”

At the bottom of the stairs, a general said: "Since the general said that Jiangxia has been prepared, then our army will not go to Jingling, let him wait, wouldn't it be good?" ”

There were many lieutenants, and they were right when they thought about it, so they echoed their words. When Cao Ren heard this, he was angry in his heart, these puppets who only have muscles but no brains! What I want is that even if Zhou Yu is on guard in Jingling, he must remove the thorn in the flesh of Jingling, otherwise he will seize Huarong, where to start?

Cao Ren said angrily: "If you don't go to Jingling, in order to block his army, how can you capture Huarong?" ”

When everyone hears it, oh, that's right. Jingling and Huarong are too close to each other, and it is very easy for the Yangzhou army to come to support Huarong. I have to guard against it.

Someone thought about it and came up with a crooked idea: "General, why don't you let Cai Mao and Huang Shot attack Huarong first, and we will hide the troops behind, and if there are Jingling soldiers coming, they will be attacked by surprise; If not, then choose the opportunity to help the second general take the city. How is it? ”

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him in unison, and they only needed to give a thumbs up. There are also factions in the military. And the factional hill is very serious. As the generals of Jingzhou, Cai Mao and Huang Shot's status in Cao Ying is not very high. That is, in Jingzhou, Cao Ren wanted to borrow them to train the water masters. Otherwise, there is something to do with them.

As a senior general of Cao Jun, although he is a harmonious group on the surface, he looks down on Cai Mao and Huang Jie in his heart. Now that Cai Mao and Huang Jie have been ordered to attack Huarong, let them fight first. We follow behind to protect them. When the enemy comes to help, we send reinforcements; There were no reinforcements, and we helped them to siege the city.

It's not a trick on them, it's just a trick. It's not that Cai Mao and Huang Shot were sent to death, so even if Cai Mao and Huang Shot knew, they couldn't say anything.

Cao Ren was also attracted to this idea. But after thinking about it, he still didn't think it was appropriate. Being beaten passively is not his personality. He didn't worry about anything else, he was worried that the soldiers from Xiangyang were coming, and if the Yangzhou army took the initiative to attack, what would it do.

Hanshui is in Zhangshan, and it turns a big bend to the left, in this river bay, it is a natural good battlefield, a good place to set up an ambush. Cao Ren stared at the map, thinking in his heart, if it was him, would he attack there?

In the end, Cao Ren still decided to lead the army to Dangyang, potentially on the side of Zhangshan, if the road went well, it would be okay, if the Yangzhou army really wanted to play a conspiracy, then together with Li Tong, send the Yangzhou army to meet the Jianglong King.

So Cao Ren left his favor to guard Jiangling, and he led his troops to Nanyang, and made Zhao Yan lead his troops, after Cai Mao and Huang Zhu, there were reinforcements to attack the city, and there was no reinforcement to attack the city.

Li Tongbing was divided into two routes, and he himself led his troops to Hanshui, and he also valued Jingling in his heart. I wanted to dial it and then attack Xiakou with Cao Ren. Of course, as a native of Jiangxia, he naturally knew that this road was not easy to follow. There will certainly be many dangers along the way. Of course, he is not afraid, he only has the pride of making contributions in his heart.

The flotilla went down the water at high speed. However, when he was about to arrive at Zhangshan, Li Tong received a secret report from Cao Ren's faction. When I opened it, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and my heart said, I was only afraid of Zhangshan Jiangwan on this way. Now that the son is filial piety, it is Zhou Yu and Cheng Puqizhi, what am I afraid of.

Li Tong and Cao Ren can think of Zhangshan Jiangwan, and Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu can naturally think of it. Of course, Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang can also think of it. However, it was said that Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang arrived at Jingling, and they came out to watch the situation of the mountains and rivers. The two rode side by side, and Xu Sheng said: "In the past, in Wu Land, I only fought with Shanyue and barbarians. Come here now, fight against Cao Jun, and live up to her husband's reputation. ”

Pan Zhang also nodded again and again: "Cao Mengde is well-known as a soldier, and he has been spanning for many years, and now he has won Shu, and he wants to seize Jing." It's really not greedy. This time, you and I are here, and we will definitely break Cao Jun, so that I can teach him that Cao Mengde knows that I am not easy to bully in Yangzhou! ”

Xu Sheng said with a smile: "Poor Cao Cao Hero I, to this day, even the old foundation has been lost, it's really miserable." ”

When Pan Zhang heard this, he sighed and looked fixedly at the north. But he didn't say a word. Xu Sheng also reacted immediately, the one who made Cao Cao lose his foundation doesn't know how to be proud in the north now. Thinking that even if Cao Cao was defeated this time, facing such a great enemy in the north, his heart was suddenly clouded.

The one in the north, but the one who swept away Eryuan and subdued Guan Liang.

I have to say that Yuan's reputation is really too loud. Even now, there are still countless people who think that the defeat of the Yuan family is too incredible. So it brought Liu Bei a more resounding reputation.

Just kidding, how powerful can you push Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao brothers?

Therefore, even brave people like Pan Zhang and Xu Sheng, when they think of Liu Bei, they can't help but feel a feeling of admiration in their hearts. This one is indeed amazing. There's no way, who let Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Li Dao, Han Sui, Ma Teng and a long list of them all be Liu Bei's achievements.
