Adou who can afford it

This is also the reason why Cao Cao hesitated before, and it is also the reason why Xun Yu kept silent and knew Cao Cao's thoughts.

"Since the decisive battle between Guandu and Yuan Shao, he has been fighting for many years, and the soldiers have not taken off their armor, and the officials and the people are tired. Loneliness is not levied this year. The order went down, and ordered Lejin and Xu Huang to defend Xiangfan, and then secretly ordered Cao Ren, if Jiangling could not be kept, he would abandon it. The sound of Jiangling soldiers resounded for nearly a year, costing countless dollars and food, and if it continues to be consumed, it may shake the fundamentals. Liu Bei is also in trouble, so there is nothing to worry about.

Jia Xu wanted to speak and stopped, and finally decided not to say more, Jia Xu still understands the truth that if you say too much, you will lose.

Xun You said at this time: "Lord, you can't let Liu Bei get Jiangling." General Cao Ren must not be allowed to abandon Jiangling.

"What does Gongda mean?"

"Liu Bei has the posture of a hero, Guan Zhang has thousands of enemies, and Zhuge Liang is his full food and foot soldiers, his people have become wings, people and have, just the time and place are favorable, if Liu Bei gets Jiangling, then there is a geographical advantage." At this time, he can attack Xiangyang and Yizhou, and retreat to refuse to defend Jingnan, this person will become a big trouble, if he is not allowed to go to Jiangling, Nanjun, like a rootless Ping, this Liu Bei can not be a threat to the lord.

Hearing this, Cao Cao looked at the map of Jingzhou and looked at the location of Jiangling for a long time before nodding and saying, "What Gongda said is extremely true. "

Five days after the last time corpses and feces were thrown into the city, enough manure had accumulated in the camp's public toilets, and at the sound of an order, the wooden barrels made by the battalion carpenters were carried to the public toilets, where they began to be filled, and then the lid of the bucket was closed and sealed with fire paint.

In addition, in the past five days, Liu Bei has sent a lot of people to hunt animals, and there are enough of them.

Cao Ren stood on the city wall, looking at Liu Bei's army outside the city, and then saw the dozens of catapults, and faintly guessed in his heart that Liu Bei was still going to throw

corpses into the city? There was a strong smell of decay on the city wall, and the smell was disgusting, because the soldiers threw all the corpses that Liu Bei threw into the city a few days ago from the city wall for convenience, and now those corpses were piled up on the city wall and scorched by the scorching sun, emitting a foul smell. The soldiers were used to the smell after standing for a long time, but they took pity on Chen Jiao and followed Cao Ren up the city wall, and now they are still lying on the side and vomiting.

Cao Ren can bear it, after so many years of fighting, he can eat in the rotten pile, and now this kind of scene is just pediatrics.

Niu Jin said with a green face: "General, you see that they have brought over the barrels and corpses." Sure

enough, Cao Ren saw Liu Beijun's soldiers coming out of the line below, followed by donkey carts transporting barrels and corpses, rushing out and lining up in front of each thunderbolt cart.

Seeing this, Cao Ren said with a dark face: "Let's go down." Liu Bei will not attack the city today. "

......

In the blink of an eye, at the end of September, the weather is gradually getting cooler, and the autumn is already beginning to appear on the mountain, Guan Yu sits on the stone pier of a pavilion at the foot of the mountain, and the yellow maple leaves next to it continue to fall down, and the ground has been paved with a piece of gold.

Six thousand troops stationed outside the city of Xiangyang, this month or so, the city guard Le Jin looked at nothing, did not send a horse out of the city to harass Guan Yu's military camp, and Guan Yu was only stationed outside the city, blocking the reinforcements going south to Jiangling, but this month did not see a reinforcement going south, at first Guan Yu did not believe it, sent Zhao Yun's cavalry, day and night patrol, Cao army everywhere did not support Jiangling at all.

After the sailors intercepted the grain and grass materials transported from Fancheng to Xiangyang several times, Le Jin and Xu Huang simply built a pontoon bridge to transport grain and grass on the Han River because of the great drop in the water level in autumn.

Seeing this, Guan Yu simply did not let the sailors harass him, but asked them to patrol along the Han River to prevent the Cao army in the north from going south.

Liao Hua walked quickly and said to Guan Yu: "General, they are all here, do you want them to come up immediately?"

"Let them come up."

"Then the subordinates only let them come up without soldiers?"

"No, if they don't bring soldiers to meet me, they won't be at ease." Guan Yu opened his eyes and said.

These people were reluctant to meet Guan Yu in the barracks, afraid that Guan Yu would kill them in the barracks, and Guan Yu thought that if he got the help of this group of people, Liu Bei's strength would increase greatly, so he chose to take a step back and meet these people on the mountain alone, and did not arrange any soldiers and horses.

Half a decade ago, Guan Yu suddenly received a bamboo slip, and the soldiers of Zhuzhai in Nanjun were willing to serve General Guan to attack Xiangyang.

The Nanjun bandits suddenly came and surrendered when Guan Yu attacked Xiangyang, this matter is a bit strange, Guan Yu sent someone to contact them, only to know that these bandits were desperate before thinking about surrendering.

The war in Nanjun lasted for a year, and the people everywhere were struggling to make a living, and the people could not survive and fled one after another.

Liao Hua understood, turned and left.

But in a quarter of an hour, a noisy sound appeared, and Guan Yu, who was pretending to sleep, also opened his eyes and looked at the crowd slowly emerging from the mountain road.

The crowd numbered in the hundreds, noisy and tattered, like beggars, and a few could be seen wearing fragments of armor-like clothes.

These people came to Guan Yu's pavilion and stood three feet apart, and the originally noisy sound stopped abruptly.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at Guan Yu in unison, and then saluted in unison, shouting chaotically: "Meet General Guan or something."

Guan Yu closed his eyes and fell asleep, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife leaned against the beam pillar next to Guan Yu, and the red rabbit horse was tied to the tree outside the pavilion, gnawing on the leaves in his mouth, vigilantly coming and going to these beggar-looking soldiers.

"Are they all here?" Guan Yu opened his eyes and looked at everyone.

"All the hills in the southern county have come. The rest are the retinue that was brought. At the front of the crowd, a strong man in his early thirties stood up and said.

Guan Yu looked at the man who was speaking, and this person didn't dare to look at Guan Yu's direct gaze, and bowed his head.

"Who are you?" asked Guan Yu.

"General, I am the leader of Erlongzhai Longda, and I am the leader elected to negotiate with the general this time. Long Da said to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu retracted his gaze, stroked his beard and squinted, "Tell me how many of you have now." "

General, there are more than 30,000 people in each village in our entire southern county. "

How many young people are there.

"About 10,000 people.

Guan Yu glanced at Long Da and continued: "I came to see you alone today, and the entourage is all at the bottom of the mountain, this is according to your requirements. If you have any other requirements, just say it early, I am busy with military affairs, and I don't have much time to talk to you? I will treat you with sincerity, if you don't treat me with sincerity, then don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife.

Long Da hugged his fists and said: "General Guan, I and 30,000 people are willing to go down the mountain, belong to General Zuo, and drive for General Zuo, but I hope that 30,000 people can form an army alone, and the leaders of each village will be generals, and General Zuo will also need to provide food, grass, ordnance, etc., only in this way will we be willing to die for General Zuo."

"I don't have anything else to ask for.

Guan Yu looked at Long Da and did not speak, and Long Da and a group of people also looked at Guan Yu, waiting for Guan Yu's reply.

"Go back where you came from. Guan Yu said.

"Why don't you think about it, General Guan?"

"Before I get angry, it's your best choice to retreat quickly." Guan Yu said.

Long Da glanced at Guan Yu unwillingly, and couldn't help but say: "General Guan doesn't even want to negotiate?"

"We are all sincerely willing to take

refuge in ......" "If we sincerely take refuge, there will be no such unreasonable demand."

"Since the general thinks that we can't ask for it, why can't we talk about it again?"

"No need. Guan Yu refused coldly.

There is no need for such a lion to open his mouth and have no sincerity to talk to him. And they came to surrender, not Guan Yu begged for them to come, these thieves came to surrender because they were desperate, and they were not qualified to negotiate conditions in the end.

"Since General Guan does not accept us. Brothers, let's go, go and vote for Cao Cao. The dragon shouted and left.

Guan Yu's eyes narrowed, and he stretched out his hand to hold the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife placed next to him.

The red rabbit horse felt the change in the owner's momentum, and looked at Guan Yu, if Guan Yu needed it, it would come over immediately.

Long Da's voice fell, and someone in the crowd asked, "What if Cao Cao doesn't accept us?"

Long Da said fiercely.

Guan Yu moved, the red rabbit horse also jumped out, and a miserable scream sounded, and then the crowd of more than 100 people instantly rioted.

A ring-headed knife pierced out of Long Da's back, and Guan Yu watched this scene without making any moves. Apparently these bandits are fighting among themselves.

Long Da was pushed forward by the owner of the ring-headed knife, until Guan Yu was two feet away, Long Da was thrown to the ground, spitting blood and struggling to get up, and the ring-headed knife stained with Longda's blood was raised and slashed towards Long Da's neck.

Blood splattered like a fountain, and the huge head broke away from the body, and was grabbed by the hair and lifted up.

"General, is this head good?"

"Good. Guan Yu said.

"The last general, Sufi, the chief of the thief dragon and the general, only ask the general to be willing to take in 5,000 of my Jingzhou rout. The young man who beheaded Long Da knelt down on one knee towards Guan Yu.

The battle has been decided, and the owners of the villages who followed Longda were either killed, or squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands and surrendered.

These village owners could never have imagined why the retinue they had brought with all their trust would suddenly attack them.

"Are these soldiers your men lying in ambush in various villages?" asked Guan Yu.

Su Fei replied: "When the Cao thief went south, some soldiers in the Jingzhou army were unwilling to follow the thief, so they left the army, but because of the war, they had no fixed place to live, so they could only fall into the grass.

"Why?".
