Major General's Journey through the Three Kingdoms

However, Zhao Yun had seen it clearly from the city gate, so he called Zhou Yu, "Captain, do you recognize me?"

Zhou Yu looked up and was shocked that it was Zhao Yun.He immediately realized that Zhao Yun had seized Nanjun while Cao Ren was leaving the city.So he said angrily: "Zhao Yun, how dare you take my South County."

Seeing Zhou Yu's angry face, Zhao Yun said, "Don't be guilty, Commander. I have taken this city under the orders of the military division."

Zhou Yu was furious: "Zhuge Pifu, you have deceived me too much."

"Captain, Marquis Wu has agreed to lend Nanjun to my lord, and I hope that the governor will put the overall situation first."

"Borrow? This is clearly a robbery!" As he spoke, he wanted to order Gan Ning to lead the army to attack the city.Gan Ning was overjoyed to see Zhao Yun.At this time, Zhou Yu said that he wanted to attack the city, so he persuaded him: "Nanjun is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it may not be easy to capture."

Zhao Yun was also very happy to see Gan Ning.The two exchanged a glance.Zhao Yun then said: "Captain, Jingzhou is the land of Liu Biao. Liu Biao is dying, so his son Liu Qi should take over Jingzhou."

Zhou Yu heard this, and then remembered Lu Su's idea of ​​borrowing Jingzhou from Liu Bei.But Liu Bei's move was clearly a robbery, and Zhou Yu couldn't hold back his breath, so he said to Zhao Yun: "I have been fighting in Nanjun for more than a year, and I have never captured it. Now you and others have taken the opportunity to seize this city without any effort. It is incompatible with Liu Bei." Then he ordered the generals to attack the city.

But Zhao Yun had ambushed the archers long ago. Seeing that Zhou Yu had captured the city, he ordered to shoot arrows down the city.Immediately, Zhou Yu's attack was forced back.Zhao Yundao: "Nowadays, the Sun-Liu alliance, the governor should consider the friendship between the two families, and carefully consider the matter of attacking the city."

Gan Ning and other generals also persuaded him.Zhou Yu had no choice but to lead the army to capture Xiangyang.After a few miles, it was reported that Xiangyang County had been captured by Guan Yu.It turned out that Zhuge Liang falsely sent information to Le Jin, the guard of Xiangyang, claiming that Nanjun was in an emergency, and asked Le Jin to send troops to rescue him.Le Jin believed it was true, so he led the army out of the city.Seeing this, Guan Yu also captured the city.

Zhou Yu was furious upon hearing this, and the arrow wound on his body burst open immediately, bleeding profusely.He ordered the generals to attack Xiangyang.At this moment, Le Jin led the troops.When he met Zhou Yu, he thought they were trying to seize Nanjun.But the leader fought with him. The two armies fought for a while, each with casualties.But Le Jin's troops were not as strong as Zhou Yu's, so he led his troops back to Xiangyang.But Xiangyang had already been captured by Guan Yu.Seeing this, Le Jin knows the trick.He led the defeated army back to Cao Cao.

In addition, Zhou Yu saw that Le was advancing and retreating, but he did not order to pursue him.He was really unwilling to lose the two cities of Nanjun and Xiangyang, so he endured the pain and said to the generals: "Zhao Yun and Guan Yu led the troops to capture Nanjun and Xiangyang. At this time, the police must be empty. We will go to attack the police at this time." Saying that, let Gan Ning lead [-] sailors to go south to the mouth of the Youjiang River, and Ling Ling to lead [-] foot archers to cross the Yangtze River and head for Gong'an.

However, as soon as Gan Ning approached the Youjiang Estuary, dozens of warships came out to meet him.Gan Ning saw that it was Zhang Fei.It seemed that they had been prepared for a long time. Seeing this, Gan Ning had no choice but to lead the army back and return to Zhou Yu.At this time, Ling Tong also led the army back. They were attacked by Huang Zhong's archers, so they had to lead the army back.Seeing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but relieve the anger in his heart.Secretly admire Zhuge Liang's ability to predict things like a god, and hate his lack of resourcefulness.So he led the army back to Jiangdong.Order Gan Ning to guard Yiling County and Ling Tong to guard Baling County.Since returning to Chaisang to recuperate.And asked Cheng Pu to lead the army to Nanxu to help Sun Quan attack Hefei.

Let's say that Zhao Yun won Nanjun and Guan Yu won Xiangyang.Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, so he recorded his military merits.The next day, Liu Bei took Liu Qi and others withdrew from Jiangxia and returned to the police.Hearing that Zhuge Liang has captured the two big cities of Jingzhou and Xiangyang, he was overjoyed.He wanted to move his military government to Nanjun and lead Jingzhou pastor himself.

But Zhuge Liang persuaded: "My lord has newly acquired Jingzhou, so you can't take Jingzhou shepherd by yourself."

"Why?" Liu Bei asked.

"Jingzhou was not originally owned by the lord. Now that Mr. Liu Qi is still alive, the lord is now the shepherd of Jingzhou, which is not good for the image of the lord's benevolence and righteousness."

When Liu Bei thought about it, he felt it was reasonable, so Liu Qi acted as the governor of Jingzhou and guarded Nanjun.Lead the prefect of Nanjun to assist Liu Qi.He also ordered Zhang Fei to guard the public security, and let Guan Yu sit in Xiangyang to reject Cao Cao.

Liu Bei has acquired the land of Jingxiang, and his strength has greatly increased.But Jingzhou borrowed from Jiangdong after all.Moreover, Liu Bei discussed with Lu Su when he was in Jiangxia, and he would return Jingzhou after he won the land of Sichuan and Shu.Liu Bei thought about this, so he thought about entering Sichuan.

Ma Liang said at this time: "My lord has newly acquired the land of Jingxiang, you can first appease the hearts of the people, work hard to govern, and then lead troops into Sichuan when the time is right."

Zhuge Liang also said: "What Ma Jichang said is very true. My lord, who hastily entered Sichuan at this time, will definitely suffer a joint counterattack from Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others. At that time, the gains will not be worth the losses."

Liu Bei said: "But we should enter Sichuan as soon as possible, otherwise when Sun Quan returns from capturing Hefei, he will definitely think about seizing Sichuan."

Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu have a feud, and they are planning to annex each other this time. When they fight and lose both, we will wait for an opportunity to enter Sichuan. Wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?"

"The words of the military advisor are very suitable for me. Now that I have newly acquired Jingzhou, I hope that the military advisor can help me wholeheartedly."

"The lord is relieved, Liang will definitely do his best." Everyone echoed Zhuge Liang's words.As Liu Bei spoke, he sent people to investigate the realities of Shuchuan, and at the same time sent people to Jiangdong to inquire about Sun Quan's attack on Hefei.

Let's say that Cheng Pu reported back to Sun Quan, claiming that Liu Bei had captured Nanjun and Xiangyang.Sun Quan didn't care when he heard this.It seems that they have already known about this matter.So he said: "I didn't expect Liu Bei to be so brazen and seize the opportunity to seize the six counties of Jingxiang. This move is really hateful."

Hearing this, Cheng Pu bowed and said: "Demou, I would like to lead the army to take Jingzhou back."

Sun Quan said: "Old General Cheng, don't be impatient. Liu Bei is now full-fledged. It is really not easy to forcefully take it back at this time. Besides, now that Sun and Liu are united against Cao, it is really unwise for us to fight each other for the sake of one Jingzhou." .”

"My lord, forgive me, but De Mou is impatient."

"Don't blame yourself for virtue, you are only thinking of Jiangdong." Sun Quan said, then remembered the arrow wound of the governor, and asked: "How is the injury of the governor?"

"The governor's arrow wound is not a serious problem, but he has worked hard day and night and accumulated a disease, which may be difficult to heal for a while."

Hearing this, Sun Quan felt ashamed of Zhou Yu, so he said: "The governor is the foundation of Jiangdong, he conquered from east to west, and now Jingzhou has been captured by Liu Bei. I guess his heart is very hard to calm down." Su went to Chaisang to condolence Zhou Yu.And ask him about the northern attack on Hefei.Zhou Yu explained his views to Lu Su.And handed Lu Su a letter and asked him to hand it over to Sun Quan.Lu Su bowed to retreat Zhou Yu, went back to see Sun Quan, and explained the past.
