At this time, the riverside was empty, and the old cat and his men had already evacuated and were returning to Yiling to return to Wang Baoyu.

Looking at the surging river, Lu Xun let out a long sigh, he was very unwilling in his heart, after chasing such a long distance, he was about to catch Liu Bei, but he fell short after all.

One Stonehenge can trap an army of 70,000, and Lu Xun vaguely feels that Zhuge Liang, who is rising in the sun, seems to be more terrifying than the aging Liu Bei.

"Metropolitan Governor, can you transfer a warship to cross the river and fight the White Emperor City again?" Pan Zhang asked.

"Alas, the odds of victory are not great, there are bonfires on the other side, and there must be a large army to defend them." Lu Xun sighed.

"Liu Bei should not have many troops stationed here, if our side attacks with all his strength, we may be able to capture Liu Bei again." Ling Tong was also unwilling, and took a step forward.

"It's not easy!" Lu Xun still shook his head.

"The Grand Duke!"

"The Grand Duke!"

Seeing Lu Xun's hesitation, the two generals Pan Zhang and Ling Tong asked for orders to lead the army to attack the White Emperor City and capture Liu Bei alive!

However, marching into the White Emperor City is a dangerous move, and it is not good that it will be besieged by the Shu army, but if you give up, I am afraid that there will be no chance to seize Liu Bei.

Lu Xun launched a fierce psychological struggle, and after a while, he still made the decision to continue to march into the White Emperor City, and transferred Zhu Ran's army to come to help, however, just as the messenger had just mounted his horse and had not had time to set off, a fast horse galloped over.

It was the messenger sent by Sun Huan, and when he got closer, the messenger turned over and dismounted, and said anxiously: "Report to the Governor, Yidao has been lost, General Zhu Ran retreated, and the two generals Sun Huan and Buqi couldn't attack for a long time." ”

Lu Xun's eyes widened, and he asked in great surprise, "Who took the Dao?" ”

"Shu Army!"

Lu Xun pointed to the other side in annoyance, "Liu Bei has been forced to the White Emperor City by us, how can he come to the Shu army?" ”

"Shu general Guan Xing attacked Yidao City from Yinan Road." The messenger hurriedly explained.

Lu Xun slapped his head, remorseful, and couldn't help but say: "This is my fault, I really shouldn't let General Sun Huan go out of the city." ”

Yidao is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, when Liu Bei gathered 300,000 troops, he could not take this place, and with only the remaining few soldiers and horses of Sun Huan and Buqi, there was no possibility of retaking it at all.

Zhu Ran's navy couldn't count on it at all, and the plan to continue attacking White Emperor City was completely ruined, and Lu Xun hurriedly led the army back along the original road, preparing to help Sun Huan and retake Yidao.

Just after walking for a day, Lu Xun's army encountered a messenger on the way, or unfavorable news, the public security county on the south side of Yidao was captured by Zhang Bao led by 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the guard general Fu Shiren was defeated and took Jiangxia.

Lu Xun suddenly had a sense of madness, he never expected that in the process of frantically chasing Liu Bei, a fire broke out in the backyard and two strategic places were lost one after another.

"Metropolitan Governor, take Yidao or public security first?" Pan Zhang asked.

"The public security can attack the southern county in the north, and the four counties in Jingnan can be taken in the south, which is more important than Yidao, and then take back the public security first." Lu Xun pondered.

Subsequently, Lu Xun divided the army, gave 20,000 people to Bu Qi, asked him to return to Changsha first, to ensure that the four counties of Jingnan were not lost, and gave Sun Huan another 10,000 people, ordering him to move his troops to defend the south side of Yidao, and must not let Guanxing's army go south and pose a threat to Wuling.

Lu Xun led an army of 40,000 people, and kept going in the direction of public security, along the way, Lu Xun was lonely and unhappy, and he was at a loss, originally thinking that Liu Bei would burn more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Bei fled with 100 people, and the war in Jingzhou could be stopped, but from the current point of view, this war is far from over.

Zhang Bao just took the public security by the way, just happy and not big, he heard that Lu Xun led an army of 40,000 to come, although Zhang Bao was annoyed, but also very rational, did not blindly stick to it, took the initiative to give up the public security, with the help of the Liaohua army, Shun lì returned to Zigui.

However, Zhang Bao still took away all the strategic materials in the public security city, causing certain losses to Jiangdong. So when Lu Xun arrived, the public security gate was wide open, and Lu Xun hurriedly sent someone to investigate, only to know that Zhang Bao knew the difficulty and retreated.

It didn't take a single soldier to get back the public security, which made Lu Xun breathe a sigh of relief, and he was thinking about how to win Yidao back.

The two generals, Pan Zhang and Ling Tong, felt very regretful, they had known that if they returned to the public security so lightly, they should divide their troops to attack Yidao when they returned to the riverside, and they would never suffer in the future.

The burning of the company camp allowed the generals to see Lu Xun's shining light, but they lost Yidao and the public security, and now they have recaptured the public security, so that everyone can't help but question Lu Xun again, is it okay?

Lu Xun didn't care about anything else, and ordered the army, which had been tired for days, to rest in the public security for a few days for a while, and then make a plot. Just when Lu Xun had just stayed in the public security for one night, another messenger came, this time it was very big, and it was sent by Sun Quan, the king of Wu.

Zhang Liao raised 50,000 troops and attacked Lujiang, in the form of 100,000 urgent, in urgent need of rescue. Lu Xun's head suddenly became bigger, summing up the lesson he had just learned, no matter what, the nest could not be lost.

Lu Xun hurriedly sent Pan Zhang and Ling Tong to lead his 40,000 soldiers and horses, and hurried back to Jiangdong, he returned to Nanjun with hundreds of followers, and asked Ding Feng and Xu Sheng to bring another 30,000 soldiers and horses to support.

As a result, there were only 80,000 soldiers and horses left in Nanjun, which was not even as many as Liu Bei's, and the plan to further compete for Dangyang and other places came to naught.

Lu Xun had great ups and downs, great joy and sorrow, wilted under the pressure, and there was no smile all day long. At present, he can only be the same as before, willing to be a turtle with a shrunken head, defend Nanjun to the death, and never take the initiative to provoke.

However, it was said that Zhang Liao led an army of 50,000 troops, and the momentum was violent, and he went straight to the Lujiang River, and there were only 10,000 soldiers and horses under Wu Fan, who was too guarded, and of course he refused to go out of the city to meet the battle, but just tried his best to defend the city and wait for reinforcements to come.

Now Zhang Liao's weak body Cheng Dù can no longer ride a war horse, so he can only sit on a small cart, and there is a thick cushion behind him, so he can rest at any time.

Despite this, the tiring journey still made Zhang Liao's face turn iron blue, his diet plummeted, and the gentle autumn wind had blown through his muscles and bones, like a crumbling dead leaf, shivering slightly with cold.

But Zhang Liao never forgot his duty, he still held the big knife that had followed him for many years in his hand, and the burning loyalty and enthusiasm in his heart made him forget his hard work and only think about making meritorious service again.

As soon as Zhang Liao's army arrived at Lujiang, the entire city was encircled solidly, and Lu Fan came to the city wall, and bowed his hand politely to Zhang Liao, who was sitting upright, and then asked in a dissatisfied voice: "General Wenyuan is so rude, my lord has been attached to Emperor Wei Cao Pi, why did he come to attack the city again?" ”

"Sun Zhongmou attached himself to the saint, but it was an expedient measure, and he had neither the heart nor the act of submission. The wolf's ambition will be reversed for a long time! Zhang Liao snorted coldly.
