Chapter 245
Dangyang City upstairs.

Xu Shu and Guan Yu were sitting opposite each other. Compared with Guan Yu with a slumped expression, Xu Shu's complexion was normal, and his brocade robe was clean, as if it didn't stick to a speck of dust.

"Yuan Zhi, you are knowledgeable and talented, you have outstanding intellect, and you often have ingenious schemes. You were wrong in front of Yu who had prejudices. Now the situation is critical. If you have any good ideas, Yu will definitely listen to you."

Guan Yu suffered a big defeat and lost all arrogance. He lowered his eyebrows and asked Xu Shu for advice.

Xu Shu returned from the three eastern counties and served as the deputy commander of the Jingzhou Army, Zhonglang General, and was in charge of coordinating the logistics affairs of the Yu Army.

It's a pity that due to Guan Yu's own personality defects, Xu Shu's advice was rarely adopted. It is the Jingzhou gentry.

Guan Yu looked down on the Pang family, and even became displeased with Xu Shu, so that the resourceful Xu Shu repeatedly advised him, but Guan Yu repeatedly refused to listen.

Xu Shu's face was serious, and he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, even if you have a strategy, you can't do anything. After counting all the generals in our army, only Yuan Tong can turn the tide and break this crisis."

Xu Shu's expression was dignified, and his tone was firm and abnormal, as if Guan Yu wanted to invite Liu Feng to Jingzhou, and Xu Shu would give up his official position and live in seclusion in Yanshan, no longer caring about other things.

As the deputy general of the army, his mission was to assist Guan Yu in guarding Jingzhou. Xu Shu also had an inescapable responsibility for being backstabbed by the Wu army this time, but in fact, he felt extremely wronged.

"Yuan Tong, as a junior, even if he has some skills, he can't change anything. The most urgent thing is to counterattack Jiangling first and take back the land of Jingnan."

Guan Yu said disapprovingly.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is not to take back Jiangling and Public Security, but to keep the area between Xiangyang and Dangyang first. If we lose this last piece of shelter, then we will have no choice but to tie our hands."

Xu Shu shook his head helplessly, he had a problem with Guan Yu messing up Jingzhou's affairs, and he also made mistakes again and again when it came to judging people. He and his elder brother Liu Bei are really brothers.

Xu Shu pointed to the Yu army under the city. He believed in the situation of his subordinates. Guan Yu knew in his heart that with the tens of thousands of generals who had not yet dispersed, they might have collapsed before the Wu army arrived.

Guan Yu looked along where Xu Shu was pointing, his face flushed even more red.

The main responsibility for this big defeat lies on him.

Liu Feng hinted and reminded many times before that before Xiangyang was captured, Guan Yu was still vigilant for a while. After the Seventh Army was flooded and General Cao Cao was captured, he forgot about it.

"Dangyang, can you still defend?" Guan Yu asked shamelessly.

"Don't worry, my lord. A few days ago, Yuantong and I had many letters. You can see that the city has been re-fortified, and the Jushui has been widened and deepened. If Wu Jun dares to come, then let him come back?"

Xu Shu smiled calmly, finally revealing the confidence that he was Liu Bei's military adviser in Xinye.

On how to guard Jingzhou, Xu Shu's idea is to defend first and then attack; this is contrary to Guan Yu's strategy of attacking and then attacking, and the Northern Expedition and then the Northern Expedition, and there are many disputes between the two.

With no other options, Xu Shu narrated his difficulties to Liu Feng. Liu Feng had no other ideas for a while. Jingzhou was the focus of Liu Bei’s attention. Liu Feng also had no room for display.

Only in the small town of Dangyang can we make some articles.

Liu Fengsui suggested that Xu Shu ignore other things and lead the auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands to build a city around Dangyang for a long-term strategy.

After Jiangling was occupied by the Wu army, Dangyang City, located in the hinterland of Nanjun, became the frontier of the confrontation between Sun and Liu.Luckily, Xu Shu made an early move. If it was too late, the Wu army would make a surprise attack, and Dangyang would fall soon.

Seeing that Guan Yu was still uneasy, Xu Shu waved his hand and led Guan Yu to the Dangyang City Tower, pointing to the school yard in the city, and said: "Please look, sir, there are more than ten thousand prisoners of the Forbidden Office temporarily detained there. If these prisoners are handled properly, Dangyang Can it be used as a bargaining chip in negotiating with Duke Cao? In this way, our army will have no worries in the future, and we only need to concentrate on dealing with Lu Meng in front of us."

Guan Yu swept his phoenix eyes, and asked with a dazed expression: "Why is Yu Jin still in Dangyang? Didn't the King of Hanzhong give an order a while ago to escort Yu Jin and others to Jiangling? Why haven't they left yet? Another point is that there is no food in the army. Yu Jin what do these captive soldiers eat?"

Xu Shu smiled, pointed in the direction of Hanzhong, and said: "If you want to ask the king, you have to ask Yuan Tong about this matter. A few days ago, Wang Yi specially transported several boats of grain and fodder from the three counties in the east. Yang, although the number is not large, it can be enough for more than a month, Yuan Tong left a message in the letter, temporarily detained in the forbidden people for a few days, and waited and watched the changes in the current situation, Shu didn't think much about it at the time."

"My son-in-law, does he really have a letter, and let me read it?" Guan Yu asked in disbelief, startled.

Xu Shu shook his head and smiled, and took out the letters Liu Feng asked Wang Yi to write from his cuffs. After Guan Yu read them one by one, he couldn't help but patted his thigh and regretted it.

When Guan Yu heard this, his heart gradually became enlightened.

Liu Feng was afraid of causing Liu Bei and Guan Yu's misunderstanding, so he secretly discussed with Xu Shu to delay Yu Jin's sending to Jiangling. Looking at it now, this move has come in handy.

With chips in hand, Guan Yu doesn't have to worry too much about Cao Ren chasing after him.

The situation like the defeat of Changbanpo can be avoided.

Looking at it this way, his son-in-law is really good, with a long-term vision, he anticipated Jingnan's predicament early, and made a plan in advance.

However, since Liu Feng knew that there were changes in Jiangling, why didn't he remind him clearly early on? If Liu Feng officially reminded him as General Pingxi and the prefect of Hanzhong, Guan Yu felt that he might be able to wake up?

Seeing Guan Yu's complexion fluctuating from sunny to cloudy, Xu Shu guessed the reason for it, and hurriedly remonstrated: "Your Majesty, don't blame Yuan Tong. If he persuaded him sooner, you may not believe him."

Liu Feng persuaded him early, can Guan Yu be sober?
Xu Shu saw this clearly.

Three words: impossible.

The authorities were obsessed, Guan Yu was obsessed with the Northern Expedition to Xudu, and couldn't listen to anything, let alone Liu Feng, even his teacher Zhuge Liang came, and the result was the same.

Guan Yu's hands trembled slightly, Xu Shu's words were straightforward, and he didn't show any favor to Guan Yu.

If it was in the past, Guan Yu would have had an attack long ago.

But now, with the hard facts in front of him, Guan Yu couldn't make a sound for a while.In his heart, Guan Yu finally had to admit that he was old and his time had passed.

After a long while, he sighed deeply: "Deputy military commander, Guan is exhausted physically and mentally, and I will temporarily entrust you with all matters in the army. I will write a letter to ask Zhou Cang for help. Take it to my son-in-law."

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.

Lu Meng was unscrupulous, and the only one who could deal with him was Liu Feng. Guan Yu suddenly realized that his own vision of people was not even as good as that of his daughter Guan Yinping.

 The reason for the segmentation, the content of the previous chapter got stuck, will be finished in this chapter.Xu Shu still did things. In addition, Liu Feng was temporarily out of control in Jingzhou. This character acts differently from readers who open God's perspective.
