With Zhou Yu's withdrawal, seven counties of Jiuzhen County in Jiaozhou were quickly recovered.

Because Zhou Yu knew that it was impossible for Zhuge Liang to take Jiaozhou if he wanted to.

Could it be that Jiaozhou will become a second whirlpool quagmire, obviously this is also impossible.

If Jiaozhou is turned into a second whirlpool mud pond, then it will definitely be Jiangdong who will suffer at that time.

Not to mention whether he can take Jiaozhou, even if he can take it, the soldiers, horses, grain and grass he needs need to be transported from Jiangdong.

And these consumption will naturally not be small, but what impact does it have on Zhuge Liang and Liu Wei's forces?

Obviously, there is no impact, because all the soldiers, horses, grains and grass that Zhuge Liang called were all raised by Jiaozhou Shixie.

In this way, Liu Wei's forces can use Jiaozhou to weaken their power without much effort.

And at that time, Shi Xie didn't need to choose, and he would directly submit to Liu Wei.

Because Jiaozhou's strength has been consumed by themselves, where do they still have the confidence to say a word.

Even if someone wants to rebel, they can only do nothing.

It's better to go directly to Liu and get a good reputation.

This is the most direct reality, so Zhou Yu knows this, and he chose to retreat.

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Yu's retreating army, he didn't pursue, everything was already a foregone conclusion.

Now what he has to do is to immediately persuade Shi Xie to send troops to Jingzhou as quickly as possible, only in this way can Sima Yi be exposed to the enemy.

After taking the nine counties of Jingzhou, Jiaozhou Shixie thought that when he came to that time, he would also know how to choose.

And Zhuge Liang believes that judging from Shixie's character, the probability of letting him agree this time is very high.

The most important thing is to stabilize the other forces and not interfere with Shi Xie's decision.

At this point, Zhuge Liang still has this confidence.

Take Huang You as an example, now that the next recovery of Jiuzhen County is already an easy matter, it is naturally impossible for him to object.

………

In the evening, Zhao Yun led the men and horses to leave Xinye and rushed for a day.

Although they found traces of the army encamped on the way, they did not find anyone.

However, from the traces and numbers of buried pots and cooking left here, it can be inferred that the other party is only a few thousand people.

Such a small person, if he wants to do an ambush, unless the technique is very special, otherwise, it is only a simple matter to stabilize the formation and defeat them.

"The great army, set up camp here and rest." Zhao Yun glanced at the surrounding environment and said.

Now it's not far from Xiangyang, it's only a day's journey.

If you march at night, you can get there faster, but there are many inconveniences when you march at night.

Now that Sima Yi's strategy has not been fully understood, he rashly marches at night, which is too risky.

After Zhao Yun's army set up camp, he also ordered the soldiers to be on guard to avoid anything from happening.

"It's almost Xiangyang, and there's no one stationed for a day."

On the other side, Li Dian said helplessly in the camp.

After listening to Zhang Chunhua's words last night, he moved out of the camp overnight, traveled all night, and returned me for a while in the morning, and saw that he could vaguely see Xiangyang City, so he stopped and stationed.

After guarding for a day, I didn't see Zhao Yun's army, and I didn't hear what Sima Yi had to order.

It seems that nine times out of ten, they want to let themselves be here, leading these thousands of people to fight with Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses.

"General, this Zhao Yun's army has not yet arrived, do you say where they have arrived, or do you mean that Sima Yi is sending her wife to discuss something with Zhao Yun?" A lieutenant general looked at Li Dian and asked in a low voice.

"I know what you mean, but let me tell you, it's impossible for Sima Yi to collude with Liu Wei." Li Dian glanced at the deputy general, and then said very firmly.

Now in this situation, there is still the strength of a battle, with their hatred, how can this Sima Yi surrender.

Li Dian is very clear about this, he believes in Sima Yi's arrogance, and even he feels that even if he surrenders now, Sima Yi will not be possible.

So at this point, Li Dian absolutely believes in all this.

Although Li Dian himself was still a little puzzled, time was just like this, and he slipped away quietly as usual.

The next day, the east of the sky was the first to light up again.

This means that the temporary calm is gone.

Zhao Yun still divided the army into two parts, front and rear, and began to set off.

Long Wujun is naturally at the forefront as before, and the purpose of it is naturally just in case.

The sound of horses' hooves is like a wave that continues to sweep towards the front.

The place where Li Dian is stationed now is on the upper waist, which is naturally also to occupy a geographical advantage.

When the time comes, once they fight, then their own army is condescending, which is a favorable aspect.

"General, there is movement in front, Zhao Yun's army has come."

At noon, a spy sent to the front brought the news back.

After all, there are more than 5,000 cavalry, and with such a big movement, even if you want to hide, you can't hide it for a while, so it's normal to be discovered.

"Really here? How many people are there? Li Dian looked at the soldier and immediately asked.

"General Hui, I have only seen about 5,000 cavalry so far, and it seems that this rear army will take a while." After hearing Li Dian's words, the spy also asked truthfully.

After Li Dian heard this, he immediately laughed and looked like he suddenly realized.

He finally understood Sima Yi's intentions.

Zhang Chunhua let himself move, and at the same time asked Zhang Chunhua to meet Zhao Yun, the purpose was to contain Zhao Yun.

At the same time, he also took advantage of this opportunity to make Zhao Yun's suspicions worse, and as a general, he should be cautious.

Now Zhao Yun led the cavalry to arrive first, but this noon is also the hottest, even hungry time.

But he himself occupies a favorable terrain and waits for work, even if he only has two or three thousand people, then he can hold on for a while and stop Zhao Yun's army.

"Come on, get ready for battle." Li Dian immediately said with a smile.

This Sima Yi really had a bit of calculation, and thought that he really let himself go to death to buy time for him.

Now it seems that this is not the case, Sima Yi still created the conditions for himself to fight.

"General, we have found traces of Cao's army in front, and they are camped on the mountainside, blocking our way."

"How many people are there?" Zhao Yun glanced at it and asked, after crossing this mountain, he almost reached the boundary of Xiangyang, and there was definitely no way to retreat.

And even if he is willing to retreat, he is afraid that once he retreats, Cao's army will already rush down from the mountain.

They are condescending, that is naturally an advantage, and the other party is prepared, it is naturally unavoidable.

Li Dian did not hesitate, and led the men out of the camp.

I can't give the Han army a chance to rest, and now I can only fight as soon as possible.

Moreover, his two or three thousand people can only attack once, and when the time comes, he can retreat at night.

"Zhao Zilong, I didn't expect you to move really fast, but you are still too slow for me, I have been waiting for you for a day."

Li Dian led the army down, then looked at Zhao Yun and said with a smile.

"Defeated." Zhao Yun snorted coldly, and then looked at Cao Jun, who was rushing down, and pointed his spear, and directly greeted him.

Cao Jun was from top to bottom, with momentum like a rainbow, and he was the first to charge, even if he was facing the Long Wu Army.

After all, if you are not tired, I am afraid that the horses are also a little tired.

Zhao Yun is not in a hurry, as long as he passes this strength, it will not be a problem to repel Li Dian's person at all.

The sound of shouting and killing soon rang out, and the sound of the collision of his own swords, guns, swords, and halberds was also endless.

However, what Li Dian and Zhao Yun didn't know was that Sima Yi was actually less than thirty miles away from them at this moment.

"The fight has started, and the show has officially begun." Sima Yi sneered.
