Chapter 692
The next day, according to Gan Ning's confession, Li Song really asked Guan Yu to exchange the generals captured alive in Hebei with Yuan Shang for hostages Zhou Cang and Liao Hua.

Guan Yu was overjoyed when he heard that, and according to Li Song's suggestion, he sent someone to Yuan Shang's camp to deliver the letter.

Guan Yu didn't know whether Yuan Shang would agree to his opinion, if Yuan Shang refused to agree to his exchange of opinions, then Zhou Cang and Liao Hua could be regarded as completely finished.

But unexpectedly, Yuan Shang agreed very happily this time, and then sent an envoy back to Guan Yu to send a message to Guan Yu, agreeing a time to exchange prisoners and the front of the two armies.

Guan Yu was very happy after receiving the letter, and immediately wanted to exchange hostages according to Yuan Shang's opinion. He didn't want Li Song, but offered a plan for Guan Yu.

Li Song analyzed for Guan Yu that Yuan Shang was cunning, cunning, scheming, and most wise. He agreed to exchange prisoners so easily this time.

When Guan Yu heard the words, he couldn't help asking Li Song, "What does Prefect Li mean by this?"

Li Song said with a smile: "General Guan, Yuan Shang has agreed on a date for the two sides to fight. According to his character, he will inevitably set up a trick secretly and send a large army to divide the troops into several groups. When our hostage exchange is lax, we will sneak attack on Nanjun and the surrounding area. Attached camp."

Guan Yu thought for a while when he heard the words, nodded secretly, and said: "What Li Taishou said is indeed reasonable! That's fine, Guan will make arrangements early. Let's see if Yuan Shang will play tricks."

The next day, when the time agreed upon for the exchange of hostages arrived, Yuan Shang and Guan Yu exchanged prisoners in the wilderness.

On this side, Guan Yu and others drove away the captured Yuan generals, while Yuan Shang drove Zhou Cang and Liao Hua away, each running towards the opposing team.

As soon as the drums sounded, the captives of the two sides had already returned to the formation, while the coaches of the two sides slowly rode their horses to the front of the formation, facing each other and watching each other.

Yuan Shangjing looked at Guan Yu in the distance, frowned, suddenly smiled, and said, "Guan Yu, I let you win for a while, don't be complacent, I will let you return sooner or later."

Guan Yu stroked the long beard on his chin, and said, "Yuan Shang, how dare you show off in front of this general? Do you think I don't know what kind of trick you want to use? It's just an opportunity to exchange prisoners with me. Don't you know Guan Mou to divide the troops to take Jiangling and its surrounding villages?"

As soon as Guan Yu's words fell, Yuan Shang's complexion suddenly changed.

When the words fell, there were thunderous noises from all directions, but Jingzhou soldiers were seen coming straight to Yuan Shang to kill the generals!

But I saw soldiers and horses in all directions, coming towards Yuan Jun.

Yuan Shang flicked his horsewhip resentfully, pointed at Guan Yu from a distance, and said, "Guan Yu, you are cruel!"

Soldiers from all sides rushed in, Yuan Jun panicked and was suppressed by the Jingzhou army for a while. Yuan Shang had no choice but to order Zhang Yan to lead eight generals from Heishan, Hebei to block the Jingzhou soldiers and flee in a hurry.

In this battle, the Jingzhou army won a big victory for a while, and Yuan Jun couldn't dodge it, so he had to retreat [-] li.

Guan Yu won again for a while, and then turned back to Jiangling. Li Song and others continued to congratulate Guan Yu on his victory.

Seeing Li Song, Guan Yu patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Prefect Li has a good plan, today Guan has won for a while."

Li Song cupped his hands modestly, thought for a while, and said: "General Guan, I have a sentence, I don't know if it should be said or not."

Guan Yu stroked his beard when he heard the words, and said, "What does Prefect Li have to say, but it's okay to say."

Li Song thought about his words, and said: "The land of Jingzhou, the land of abundance and joy, has a vast land and a large population. It also has soldiers and horses. It has been trained by General Guan for many years. It is already a rare elite teacher in the world. The only one who can contend is Yuan Shangye in Hebei. However, Yuan Shang hastily dispatched troops now, lost several battles in a row, and his spirit has fallen. What's more, he seized the land of the Cao family back then, relying on deception, not kingship. Now, why doesn’t General Guan take advantage of the situation and raise his army to conquer Yuan Shang, go north in one fell swoop, first chase Yuan Shang, and then conquer the Central Plains, so as to rule the world and share the Lord’s worries?”

Guan Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, and Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "What Li Taishou said is true! Guan has been in Jingxiang for many years, and he has long had the heart of the Northern Expedition. The front of the army is in danger, but it is the time for Guan to send troops to the Northern Expedition!"

**************
According to Li Song's remonstrance, Guan Yu was so ambitious that he finally made up his mind. He assembled Jingzhou's elite soldiers and horses, turned from defense to offense, and began to go out of the city to attack Yuan Shang's army.

Yuan Shang lost several battles in a row, and the front of the army was already exhausted. At this moment, the morale of the Jingzhou army led by Guan Yu was like a rainbow, and the front of the army was in full swing. They captured several lines of defense of Yuan Shang in a row.

This lasted for one month. Guan Yu defeated Yuan Shang five times in a row, and drove Yuan Shang's army for three hundred miles. Retreating, I really want to return to the Central Plains, but it seems that I don't want to leave Jingzhou.

Guan Yu's army stayed in the south of Yuan Shang's army, and Guan Yu gathered all the ministers under his command to discuss the next move.

After the battle of exchanging prisoners, Guan Yu defeated Yuan Jun five times and drove the enemy for three hundred miles. Every time he fought, he had Li Song's suggestion. At this time, Li Song was already relied on by Guan Yu as a resourceful minister.

This time the army has moved from Jingdong to Jingbei, and the offensive and defensive positions have shifted. The situation has turned to the advantage of the Jingzhou army.

Inside the big tent, Li Song was heard talking to Guan Yu, saying: "General Guan, this battle at Bowangpo is the last battle between our army and Yuan Jun in the territory of Jingchu. This battle is a victory." , Yuan Jun will be completely expelled from the territory of Jingzhou! In this way, in the next battle, we can command all the troops, mobilize food and grass to the north, pass through Fancheng, directly enter Xuchang, and seize the hinterland of the Central Plains!"

Guan Yu nodded when he heard the words: "The words of Li Taishou are very suitable for Guan, but this is the last battle in Jingzhou, how should we fight?"

Li Song cupped his hands and said: "I have done my best in one battle. Gather all the soldiers and horses and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop! Completely defeat Yuan Shang's ambition to seize Jingzhou, so this battle must not be left behind. All soldiers and horses and generals must be used. ! Completely defeat Yuan Shang!"

"Okay!" Seeing Guan Yu's slap on the handsome case, he got up and said, "This statement is very close to my heart. The little thief Yuan Shang has always been treacherous and cunning, and he often uses cunning to win the world's heroes. Today Guan will be here. To the north of Jingzhou, give him a sharp rub, and let Yuan Shang know that heroes of the world are never to be trifled with!"

"........."

**************
Yuan Jun Dazhai, Yuan Shang also gathered all the generals under his command at this moment.

"Everyone, since the conquest of Jingzhou, we have lost seven battles in a row and retreated three hundred miles. I am afraid that the defeat in the past and the present is like this, but this is the end of the matter. Tomorrow, we will fight in Jingzhou. Get back everything you have suffered!"
