Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 131 Feng Chu: Ziyu, You Deceived Me So Hard

After Sun Qian left, Cheng Pu reminded: "Since Liu Qi has captured Jiangling, Cao Ren must come to Xiangyang if he is defeated. Gong Jin made preparations in the morning, should he divide his troops to intercept?"

Zhou Yu sneered: "I'm afraid that Cao Ren won't come, I want him to help me capture Xiangyang."

Everyone was in a daze after hearing this, and they wondered why Cao Ren would help you win Xiangyang. Could it be that he was confused because of the Jiangling incident?Only Lu Su smiled and remained silent.

"Does Zijing know what I'm planning?" Zhou Yu asked.

"The governor wants to use Cao Ren to lure Lejin and Manchong defenders?" Lu Su replied.

Zhou Yu laughed heartily: "The one who knows me is Zijing."

Lu Su's face was still heavy, "Happy Jin and Man Chong are not waiting for nothing, and they may not give up the city to save them."

Zhou Yu explained: "Zijing didn't know something. Before Cao Cao fled back to Xudu, he appointed Cao Ren as the governor of Jingzhou. If Leman and Leman refused to save them, they would be hated by the clan's children. There would be no place for them to stand in the north. This is for me. It is also the conspiracy of the sun."

"The governor is wise." Lu Meng took the lead to praise, and the generals immediately agreed.

Zhou Yu nodded: "There are currently [-] defenders in Xiangyang City. I want to send [-] soldiers to surround Cao Ren. The remaining [-] will be commanded by Duke Cheng to attack the city. Zhang Yide is the enemy of ten thousand people. You must make good use of it."

Cheng Pu smiled wryly: "Zhang Fei said that he is good at charging, trapping, cutting generals, and capturing the flag, but Xiandeng is not good at it. Why don't the commander-in-chief be transferred to besiege Cao Ren?"

"It is because Zhang Fei is brave and invincible that I dare not let him besiege Cao Ren. Now Cao Ren is more useful than dead Cao Ren." Zhou Yu waved his hand.

"I see." Cheng Pu nodded.

"Ziming, Gongji, follow me to besiege Cao Ren. Since Gan Ning has already surrendered to Liu Qi, forget about Yiling, and wait until you return to Jiangdong to report to the lord, and then slowly plan it." Zhou Yu specially explained to the two.

"Wei." Lu Meng (Ling Tong) answered with cupped fists.

A few days later, Cao Ren led the crowd to Xiangyang, and Zhou Yu was waiting two miles west of the city for the fish to enter the net.

In order to break down the morale of the defenders, Zhou Yu has been implementing a strategy of besieging Xiangyang on three sides, so external intelligence can enter and exit through the west gate.

"Bo Ning, General Zixiao is coming back soon. Zhou Yu made it clear to us in the west of the city. His move is really insidious." Le Jin sighed on the west tower.

"Looking at Zhou Yu's formation, it seems that there are 3 troops, and the strength is ten times that of General Zixiao. It seems that we must send troops to save him." Man Chong also shook his head.

"I will take 1 people out to meet them in a while, and you must guard Xiangyang to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the chaos." Le Jin instructed.

Man Chong suggested: "Jiangdong rats are weak, Wen Qian should take more out, leaving 5000 people is enough for me."

Le Jin waved his hands and said, "General Zixiao has to be rescued, and Xiangyang has to be defended. Anyway, I will do my best."

"I didn't expect that there are hundreds of thousands of prime ministers, but now they are on the defensive side." Man Chong sighed.

Le Jin frowned and reminded deliberately, "I didn't hear it just now, what did Bo Ning just say?"

Man Chong knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately smiled and said, "I told Wen Qian to be careful."

Le Jin nodded lightly and said nothing, when Cao Ren's cavalry appeared, Zhou Yu immediately took advantage of the number of people to encircle the plain.

It's a pity that Zhou Yu's infantry was mostly, and thousands of cavalry could not stop Cao Ren from going east. At this time, Le Jin opened the west gate to meet him, and the two armies fought fiercely on the plain in the west of Xiangyang.

At the same time, Cheng Pu led his troops to storm the city, and the surrounding area of ​​Xiangyang was full of hustle and bustle.

The cost of elite cavalry is very high. Whether it is Gongsun Zan's white horse righteous follower or Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, they are all made of real money.

The three thousand fine cavalry who followed Cao Ren to retreat were the tiger and leopard cavalry he had raised since the Dongping period, and their combat effectiveness was second only to Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry. Therefore, Zhou Yu seemed to have many soldiers, but in fact he was completely unable to resist.

Zhou Yu was also very happy to see these fine horses. You can't buy such good horses in Jiangdong, so he ordered the horses not to be hurt at the beginning of the battle, but the result was completely different from what he imagined.

Seeing that Le Jin came to support him, Zhou Yu could no longer complete the encirclement, so Zhou Yu had no choice but to order the arrow to shoot the horse.

Countless fine horses fell to the ground whining, and Cao Ren's eyes would light up when he saw it, but he could only watch the cavalrymen fall one by one.

After Le Jin joined the battlefield, he finally relieved Cao Ren's pressure.

This battle was fought extremely fiercely in the end, and the battle losses of both sides reached more than [-]%.

Finally, in the evening, Cao Ren tore his birth path apart, and Le Jin led the remnant army to escort him into Xiangyang City.

Tens of thousands of people fought outside the city for a day, but Cheng Pu still failed to capture the city. Zhou Yu sent people to Jiangxia and Xinye for help, and sent people to Jiangdong to seek food and grass. The battle for Xiangyang immediately entered a stalemate.

In February of the 14th year of Jian'an, Liu Qi entered Jiangling with his wife, concubines and family members, and later Pang Tong returned with Gan Ning.

Pang Tong and Gan Ning did not visit Liu Qi, but returned to Lantian first.

"Ziyu, it's hard for you to lie to me." Pang Tong's unattractive face became even more strange at this time, but his eyes looking at Lantian were so hot.

Lan Tian got goosebumps all over his body, and looked at Pang Tong very puzzled. Gan Ning next to him explained: "My lord and the military adviser have already told Pang Gongcao the identity of the master."

"Oh, that's it." Lan Tian suddenly realized.

Pang Tong cupped his hands and said, "Ziyu and I already have co-owners, and I hope you can give me more advice in the future."

"My lord also worships Mr. Feng Chu as his deputy military adviser." Gan Ning added.

Lan Tian cupped his hands in return: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in. Congratulations to Mr. Fengchu for meeting the Ming Lord. How dare I teach you if you are so talented."

Pang Tong laughed and said: "Zi Yuguo is as humble as Kongming said, so humble that you have almost deceived all the heroes in the world. My lord is really a blessed person. I will often visit him when I work in Jiangling."

"I have never had great ambitions. Mr. Fengchu is in Jiangling, so I should go back to Lingling," Lan Tian said.

Pang Tong nodded and said: "After all, Ziyu is the prefect of Lingling, so he should go to preside over the overall situation. I heard that Liu Zichu was active in Jingnan, and the gentry in all counties admired his name."

"Liu Ba? I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability." Lan Tian sneered.

After years of development in Lingling and Guiyang counties, the people in various places are now in peace and their power has recovered very quickly. In addition, there are no obstacles from the nobles, and the promotion of various policies is also very smooth.

After the news of Cao Cao's defeat in Jingzhou spread, Liu Ba, even with Su Qin's eloquence, could not convince the Jingnan people to surrender to Cao.

Lan Tian then introduced Pang Tong to Liu Qi, "My lord, Mr. Feng Chu is a genius in the world. With him assisting you in Jiangling, I can go back to Lingling without worry."

"The name of Fengchu resounds throughout Jingxiang. In fact, we met each other when we were in Xiangyang. Today, since Ziyu strongly recommends you, I will promote you to work in Jingzhou." Liu Qi said.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu." Pang Tong cupped his hands in thanks.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Qi signaled that he would have a private talk with Lan Tian, ​​while Pang Tong left knowingly.

"The battle in Xiangyang is not over yet, Ziyu is going south to Lingling at this time, I really can't feel at ease." Liu Qi worried.

Lan Tian laughed and said, "My lord, now Wen has Fengchu and Wu has Huang Hansheng, so you can sit back and relax."

Liu Qi nodded, "Brother Cong is really blind. Huang Hansheng is so powerful that he didn't know it. I heard that he used tricks to attack Jiangling?"

"That's right, that's him." Lan Tian was delighted.
