Chapter 85 The first confrontation
Guan Yu's camp at the Mianshui front.

The atmosphere in the camp has seemed a bit uneasy recently.

The grain and grass in the rear have not been delivered for many days.

In fact, when Liu Feng came, he thought he was here to make things better.

After all, the Seventh Army had just been flooded at that time, and the situation was very good.

Who would have thought that when he arrived at the front line of Xiangfan, he suddenly found that he seemed to be a helper in need...

Guan Ping handed Guan Yu a bowl of water: "Father, drink some water."

Guan Yu: "Hmm..."

"Uh...you should drink some too."

Liu Feng: "Oh..."

awkward!

Apart from embarrassment, Guan Ping's current feeling is embarrassment.

Xu Huang broke the siege of Fancheng, although the Jingzhou army on the front line of the Mian River had no choice but to fight across the river.

However, knowing that Guan Yu had suffered a defeat, the Xiangyang defenders became more determined to defend.

Lu Chang, who originally thought he was going to die, patrolled the city every day as if he had been beaten to death.

The war was unfavorable, the food and logistics couldn't keep up, and he couldn't think of a good strategy to defeat the enemy, so my father was already in a bad mood.

Coupled with the bad relationship between his father and Liu Feng in the past, the atmosphere in the camp these days has simply suffocated Guan Ping.

But after all, they sent reinforcements over, and they were successful in rescue in times of crisis.

His father was also not good, and he always looked down on others, and Liu Feng changed his temper somehow, and restrained his bad temper.

But in this way, the atmosphere in the tent developed in an even weirder direction...

"I really want to go out and fight with Cao Jun. I would rather go to the front and charge than stay in this tent!"

Guan Ping wants to cry but has no tears.

"General Guan, there is an envoy from Jiangling outside the tent to ask for an audience!" the guard said suddenly.

"Oh? Let him in quickly."

The weird atmosphere was temporarily broken, and Guan Ping finally breathed out.

A well-proportioned young man came in from outside the tent, cupped his fists and said, "General Guan, I am a reserve member of the Prince's army. I have emergency military information and the general."

"The prince is close to the army?" Guan Yu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, with some bad premonition.

Didn't the person who delivered the last batch of grain and grass last time say that Ah Dou had already gone back?
"Quickly tell me, what is the urgent military situation?" Guan Yu stood up nervously.

Liu Feng, who was on the side, heard the word "Prince's pro-army", and unconsciously got up and walked over at this moment.

"The crown prince ordered me to report to General Guan that Soochow backed the alliance and launched a surprise attack. Lu Meng led more than [-] troops to Jiangling. Sun Quan, Lu Xun and others still have the main force behind them... Soochow is going to do everything in its power to take Jingzhou this time!"

Guan Yu's eyes widened, and he grabbed the reserve team member's arm: "What did you say?!"

Liu Feng and Guan Ping also widened their eyes at this time, unable to believe what they heard.

Then Lu Xun just wrote such a nasty letter a few days ago, why now... and isn't Lu Meng seriously ill and dying?

Guan Yu had already turned the corner in his heart, and slapped his thigh: "Jiangdong rat, you actually used such a cunning trick!"

However, he soon calmed down again, the police and Jiangling were considered strong cities, and if he thought about tens of thousands of people, he wouldn't be able to capture them immediately, he just had to wait until he returned to the army to relieve the siege.

but……

"Jiangling, Public Security, how is the battle going?"

"The public security officer Fu Shiren has surrendered to Kaicheng of Eastern Wu. When I came here, Lu Meng's army was heading towards Jiangling!"

Guan Yu grabbed the young man's arm again: "What did you say?! Fu Shiren surrendered?"

"Yes, Lu Meng has lured Fu Shiren to surrender without bloodshed!"

It was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky exploded in Guan Yu's mind, shaking him at a loss.

Thinking of Mi Fang and Fu Shiren's hidden grudge against him, the burning of the warehouse, and their usual extravagant demeanor.

Guan Yu almost understood what was going on.

If even old brothers like Fu Shiren, who had worked hard together from Zhuojun, surrendered, then Mi Fang...

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, but there was one more thing to ask.

"Where is the prince now, why did you come to report the letter from Jiangling?" It was this matter that made Guan Yu faintly worried.

"The crown prince is worried about Jiangling's loss. He leads our troops to stop Lu Meng in Jiangling. I ordered you to inform General Guan that there are still Lu Xun and Sun Quan's troops behind. Please return to help the general immediately after receiving the news!"

"What?...You wait for the crown prince to join the army, how many thousands of troops are there?"

The reserve member cupped his hands and said: "We are waiting for the regular army plus the reserve team, a total of 900 people are in Jiangling."

Guan Yu, Guan Ping, Liu Feng: "..."

"Hi!" Guan Yu anxiously punched his palm.

"Order the whole army to pull out the camp! Return to Jiangling immediately!"

"It is said that our headquarters will set up camp! Return to Jiangling immediately!"

Guan Yu and Liu Feng who shouted at the same time looked at each other in surprise, seeing the same thing in each other's eyes.

Regarding Liu Feng's behavior of making his own decisions without waiting for the commander's order, Guan Yu also rarely said anything.

The two just nodded at each other, and then looked away.

However, Guan Ping was surprised to find that the embarrassing atmosphere that seemed to have been permeating between the two before seemed to have disappeared.

"A Dou, you must hold on! Second uncle (brother) is here to save you!!"

……

Comrade Liu Gongsi, who only led 900 pro-army and claimed to stop Lu Meng, was standing on the tower of the west gate of the North City with a face full of embarrassment, holding a human head in his hand.

It was Lu Meng's head... there was a hole in the back of his head.

The new city has been burnt to the ground, and many gates have been burned, losing its defensive value.

Now Liu Chan has concentrated his forces on the defense of the North City.

"Lu Xun!! Come here!" Liu Chan shook the head in his hand, and arrogantly shouted at Wu Jun, who was crowded outside the city.

Among the crowd of Wu Jun, a cavalry general in black armor came out more and more.

Liu Chan on the tower couldn't see clearly the gentleman's appearance of the cavalry general, but seeing the guards around him and the big flag with the character "Lu" behind him, he guessed that this person was Lu Xun.

And, right off the bat, guesswork is gone.

[Lu Xun: The current favorability is negative 20]

[Lu Xun Favorability -5]

[Current favorability: minus 25]

[Ding Feng: The current favorability is negative 20]

[Ding Feng favorability +1]

[Current favorability minus 19]

Ok?
Liu Chan who was provoking was stunned, Ding Feng is here too?Never heard of it before.

He glanced at Wu Junzhong, but of course he couldn't recognize which one was Ding Feng.

And what's the matter with this person, how come he provoked and mocked them with Lu Meng's head, but he even increased his favorability towards him?

Could it be that he has some personal enmity with Lu Meng?I haven't heard of this either.

"Who are you?" Lu Xun's voice was unhurried, and he couldn't hear the emotion at this time.

But in fact, under his seemingly calm expression, his heart was already like a stormy sea.

With Lu Meng's intelligence, Lu Xun couldn't figure out why he let [-] troops be burned to death in Jiangling City, and the entire army was wiped out.

Even I ended up decapitated.

"Jiangdong rats, listen up! I am Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong! Do you want to kill me to avenge Lu Meng? Then you can attack the city with your army!"

After Liu Chan finished speaking, he shook his head a few times.

He did it on purpose, he was trying to provoke Lu Xun.

If Lu Xun used all the army in his hands to storm Jiangling, it would be the best deployment for him.

He believed that after Uncle Guan learned that he was in Jiangling, he would definitely retreat and come back to save him.

Lu Xun was not sure when Uncle Guan would come back.

When the time comes, he will cooperate with Uncle Guan inside and outside, and he will definitely catch Lu Xun by surprise and severely damage the Soochow army in one fell swoop!
The provocative effect seems to be good for the Soochow soldiers below. At this time, they have already started to stir up, and they seem to be eager to come up and hack themselves...

However, as soon as Lu Xun raised his hand, the commotion gradually subsided.

Liu Chan on the tower raised his brows: "Yes, orders are prohibited, this guy is very capable of commanding the army."

I saw Lu Xun below who seemed to say something, the flag bearer behind him waved the command flag, and the army began to return to the dock one after another.

Lu Xun also pulled the rein and turned to leave.

"Hey! Are you as timid as a mouse, afraid of your prince? You don't even want Lu Meng's head?"

Hearing this, Lu Xun stopped his horse, but after staying for a while, he didn't look back after all.

"Drive!" He decisively whipped his horse and headed towards the pier.

Looking at Lu Xun's leaving figure, Liu Chan's slightly exaggerated expression of beating was gone, but with a trace of dignity.

It seems that this is not an enemy that can be easily dealt with.

"Prince, it seems that this person is afraid of the prince after seeing Lu Meng's defeat!" the defending military marquis said excitedly at this time.

Liu Chan shook his head: "If that's the case, that's fine."

Lu Xun led the main force onto the warships and sailed west along the river.

However, there are still some people left outside Jiangling City. It seems that there are about 7000 to [-] people. At this time, they are still surrounding Jiangling North City, but they have no intention of attacking. Follow-up Sun Quan's main force.

And Lu Xun must have brought the main force, and like history, he has gone along the river to block the return of himself and others, and to block the reinforcements from Old Liu Xi.

For Liu Chan's provocative actions, these Wu Jun, who had obviously been ordered, didn't seem to notice...

However, this seemingly peaceful confrontation did not last long, and a new change ushered in a few days later.

The besieging troops began to retreat in an orderly formation from far to near, as if they were about to give up the siege and planned to retreat towards the pier.

Liu Chan was refreshed when he got the news: "Second Uncle's reinforcements must have arrived! Horses and spears ready, ready to fight! We can't let them come and leave whenever they want!"
