Knowing that Bowang was besieged, Liu Pan said to Wen Ping: "Zhong Miao has few soldiers, so he must not be saved." Zhongye and Shouwan, I will save it. Then he led the army out of Wancheng and went to Bowang.

The soldiers crossed the water, and saw Cao Bing and ants attacking the city from afar, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, Bowang was still there. Then he shouted loudly and led the three armies to attack Cao's army. Cao Hong took the lead, and when Cao Jun saw this, he didn't want to die. How could Huo Jun resist this combination of brave generals and fierce soldiers, and after guarding it for a few days, it gradually became weaker. I was thinking about whether to lead my troops to break through the siege and abandon the city, when I suddenly saw the shouts coming movingly, I raised my head, and saw an army rolling in the distance, straight into the back of Cao's army. Knowing that the reinforcements had arrived, he said left and right: "The reinforcements from Wancheng have arrived, and I don't have to worry about it." The soldiers at the head of the city also saw this earth-shattering momentum, and they couldn't help but boost their morale, and they cheered up again, driving the Cao army that was constantly climbing up.

Yu Ban saw the Jingzhou army coming, fearing that Cao Hong would lose, so he was busy with Mingjin to withdraw his troops. Cao Hong was furious when he heard Mingjin, looking at the nearby city wall with hatred. After all, the military order was difficult to disobey, so he led the army to retreat, and on the way, he met Liu Panjun, but he drove the horse with a knife and killed Liu Pan.

Liu Pan is also a fierce general, and he has harassed Sun Ce in history, so he had to send Tai Shici out of the town of Yuzhang to prevent him. Seeing Cao Hong coming violently, he was not afraid, so he slapped his horse and danced his knife and came to fight head-on.

There was a big battle between the two armies, and Cao Yingzhong Yu Ban also led the army. Liu Pan thought that he couldn't resist the two, so he led the army to retreat into Bowang City. Huo Jun opened the city gate and greeted him, and said happily: "General Liu! ”

When Liu Pan saw Cao Jun retreating, he entered the mansion with Huo Jun and said, "Zhong Miao, how are the casualties?" ”

Huo Jun's expression was instantly depressed, and he said: "In just a few days, the army has already suffered hundreds of casualties, if it weren't for the general's help, the last general would no longer be able to hold on." ”

Liu Pan sighed and said, "That Cao Hong and Yu Ban are not nameless. Cao Cao drove these two people to attack, but he was afraid that he would have to stop from Nanyang. ”

Huo Jun looked at Liu Pan and said, "General, are there reinforcements coming from Xiangyang?" ”

Liu Pan's expression sank, but he stopped talking. Huo Jun also seemed to know that he was talkative, so he was silent. In Xiangyang, there has been a long debate about whether to send reinforcements.

Liu Biao wanted to send help, but the people under his command were arguing. Liu Biao was able to firmly control Jingzhou, but he had the support of the Jingzhou clan. Among them, Kuai's, Cai's, and Huang's are representatives.

Kuai brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang; Cai Shi Cai Mao; Huang's Huang Zu. Huang Zu has always been the main battle faction, but he disagreed with the clans, so he went out of Zhenjiangxia early and guarded his own one-third of an acre. As for Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, after Cao Cao went south in history, they persuaded Liu Cong to surrender without fighting a single battle.

In history, in the face of strong enemies, they couldn't even be loyal to their lords, let alone loyal to the Han Dynasty. It's the same now. When Cao Jun came, Cai Mao also saw Cao Jun's battle. If Guan Yu hadn't sent troops to contain him before, I was afraid that he would have made Liu Biao surrender early.

Now Cao Cao has returned, and Jingzhou's only reliance on Liu Bei is far away in the north. Although Guan Yu was in Xuzhou, the letter for help had been gone for a long time, but there was no movement. Do you really have to wait for Cao Cao to lead the army to come in, and then become a prisoner together?

Since you are reluctant to die, why not find a way out for yourself and your family?

Therefore, under such thoughts, Liu Biao wanted to send reinforcements, but was stopped by Cai Mao and others. The Jingzhou army, except for Huang Zu, Wen Ping and Liu Pan, was almost entirely in the hands of Cai Mao, especially the water army.

Liu Biao only knew pleasure in the past few years, so he handed over almost all the power to his brother-in-law Cai Mao. Cai Mao had the military power in hand, and when he heard that Liu Biao was going to Nanyang for reinforcements, he thought that sending him left and right would also be sent to death, so it was better to preserve his strength and make a promotion to the rank. He was already familiar with Cao Cao when he was young. Seeing that Cao's army was powerful, he had a different mind. So he just shirked, either that the food and grass were not enough, or that the armament was not complete.

And there was a group of people who echoed behind him. Liu Biao himself is a soft-eared person, listening to this today, listening to that tomorrow, dragging it down day by day, but it is dragging the front to death.

Guan Yu received a letter from Jingzhou in Xuzhou, and did not dare to slack off, so he raised three armies, attacked Yuzhou, and made the general Gan Ning lead the army to cross the river with Chen Deng to attack Yangzhou.

It's a pity that these two have been on guard. Cao Cao suffered a loss, how could there be no reason not to guard against Guan Yu, Yu Peiguo left the Xiahou brothers to defend. Xiahou Yuan used his troops steadily, and Xiahou Yuan was brave. The two of them were in a hurry, and it was no problem to drag Guan Yu down. Sure enough, Guan Yu joined the army, and Xiahoudun appeared. Guan Yu thought about it, since Cao Cao was ready, he was afraid that his army would be useless, and it would be better to return to the army if he stayed here in vain. Then he led the troops back to the camp.

Gan Ning was there, but he made a detailed report, saying that there were countless beacon towers on the other side of the river, and there were Jiangdong soldiers and horses patrolling day and night. Gan Ning listened, and was afraid that as soon as he crossed the river, he would be discovered by the Yangzhou army. So he made a plan, swaggered himself, led the army to cross the river, but it was a bluff, except for the first ten big boats with people, but the ships behind did not transport troops, pierced some straw men, and put some boulders in to press the cabin. Here he sent a letter to Chen Deng, so that he led a large army, and when he attracted the attention of the Yangzhou army, he crossed the river from elsewhere.

Sure enough, a beacon fire was soon lit here. Zhou Yu heard the letter and led his troops out with Wu Jing. When I arrived at the river, I saw countless boats on the other side of the river, riding the wind and waves. Seeing this, Wu Jing said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Zhen, since the enemy is coming, the sailor can meet the enemy in the river!" ”

Zhou Yu looked at it for a long time, and suddenly sneered, and said, "General Wu, there must be fraud here!" ”

Wu Jing said: "Why did the public say this? ”

Zhou Yu said: "I heard that Gan Ning is the general of the navy under Liu Bei." He has been training at Guan Yu for many years and is accustomed to water warfare. If Gan Ning comes, how can he not find out about the situation along our coast? Knowing that the smoke had risen and our army had taken precautions, he still led his army to battle. How can there be no deceit? ”

Wu Jing is also a person who is used to leading soldiers, and Zhou Yu immediately reacted when he dialed this: "Could it be that this army on the river is a lure soldier?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "It must be so!" I expect Liu Jun to cross the river from other places! ”

When Wu Jing heard this, he said: "That is the case, please also ask the public to guard here, and I will lead the army to patrol the river." After the discussion, he led the army to inspect the river.

Zhou Yu saw that Wu Jing had left, and saw the sailors on the other side coming one by one, and couldn't help laughing: "Since you are here, there is no reason to let it go." Then he ordered the navy to fight.

When Gan Ning saw the Yangzhou Sailor fighting, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he had a plan in his heart. He has always been bold, and he didn't feel that there were few soldiers on his side, so he shook his spirit and came to fight the Yangzhou army.

As soon as the formation ended, he came out of the cabin with his knife, and the slapping rod and rocket were already powerful at this time, and he was about to rush up, when his eyes swept away, and he felt that something was wrong. Why did the Yangzhou ships gradually retreat, as if they wanted to encircle me?

Looking at it again, I saw a large flag with the word Zhou faintly. I was shocked in my heart, not good, it turned out that Zhou Yu was here, I was afraid that he had seen through it. He did not go any further, but ordered the ship to retreat gradually.
