Chapter 1142 The situation in Jingzhou

Hedong.

Liu Bei withdrew smoothly, but he was not happy at all. He stood on the east bank of the river, looking at Guanzhong, with a gloomy expression.

"Any news?"

He is waiting.

Knowing that there is no hope, he still hopes for a miracle.

"Just got the news!"

Lu Boyu cupped his hands and said, "The Son of Heaven has been forcibly held hostage by Cao Jun!"

"I'm asking Yun Chang!"

"Second General..." Lu Boyu gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "I've been captured!"

"not dead?"

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

This may be the most difficult decision in his life. If Guan Yu does not protect the emperor, no one in the world will believe that Liu Bei is leading the enemy alone, rather than leaving the emperor to escape.

"It's true that he didn't die, but was captured alive!"

"capture?"

There was a chill in Liu Bei's pupils: "There are people in the world who can capture Yun Chang alive!"

"Although the second general is brave, he is invincible alone!" Lu Boyu comforted, and then said: "My lord, we can't stay here anymore. Whether it's Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, once they free up their hands, they will definitely deal with us!"

"Zi Long!"

"exist!"

"Get ready to go north!"

Liu Bei is also a decisive person. He naturally knew that he could not be here for the benevolence of a woman. Guan Yu was not here, so he gave his trust to Zhao Yun. On that day, talk to him Cao Mengde again, he must not dare to kill my beloved general!"

If it was on the battlefield, he believed that Cao Cao would definitely kill him, but after being captured, Cao Cao didn't need it, and he would not make him a great enemy.

Now, the most important thing for him is to return to Youzhou.

....................................

Mu Jing could no longer take care of the follow-up matters in the Guanzhong battlefield. After he arranged the affairs of Chang'an, he led his army to enter Wuguan along Lantian, and then went south from Wuguan to enter Nanyang territory.

Before, he was just worried.

But after entering Nanyang, he finally felt that the situation in Jingzhou was much more severe than he had imagined.

The defeat of the Mu army in Jingzhou began with the Jiangdong army, but it did not end with the Jiangdong army. The Jiangdong army attacked the main force of the Mu army on the Yangtze River, causing the Mu army to be defeated quickly. The main force of the Mu army was almost injured.

But as long as the battlefield is shrunk, the Mu army can still bear it.

But Mu Jun was too rampant before.

The layout is too offensive and not defensive.

The Jingzhou army began to exert its strength.

Changsha suddenly killed a main force of Jingzhou, took Wuling directly, approached the city, killed Wuling's herdsmen, and forced them to retreat a hundred miles before they could stand firm.

This defeat is regarded as a final defeat.

The consecutive defeats caused the entire battlefield to lose control.

At this time, the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army had no intention of stopping. Within a few days, the main force of Jiangdong began to increase its troops, and the Jingzhou Navy continued to move closer to Yiling.

Yiling was the only pass for the Mu army.

Once this pass is lost.

Then the battlefield on the waterway can only retreat to Baidi City.

This is equivalent to returning to Yizhou.

Extending the flames of war back to Yizhou, this is something that no one wants to see.

………………

Yiling water village.

The surviving main force of the Mu army stretched along the north and south banks of the river, building water villages one after another, strengthening the defense, and preparing to fight to the death with the Jiangdong army and the Jingzhou army here.

In the water village, above a military council hall.

Xi Zhicai's expression turned slightly pale.

Part of it was because he was injured, he was attacked by a surprise attack, and he was lost all the time, scratching him, not a serious injury, but for a scholar like him, it was enough for him to bear.

The other part was because his mood at this moment was as pale as his expression.

Xizhi is not undefeated.

Just never lost like this.

This battle was definitely a sledgehammer, knocking him out of his pride.

The shepherd army ran across the four fields, killed from Guanzhong, captured Hanzhong, took Yizhou, Zhennanzhong, and laid the foundation for the southwest. What a scene.

Mu Jing personally led the army to the north to participate in the battle of Guanzhong. He was in charge of the Jingzhou campaign alone. The strongest prince in the world.

But it was this kind of pride that made him lose control.

Please enter the Jiangdong Army.

He had thought about it a lot, and he didn't regret it, but it was because Mu Jun thought himself too strong, so he didn't guard against Jiangdong Army. At this time, Jiangdong Army suddenly stabbed him and injured him. One can imagine.

"Jiangdong Sun Family!"

Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a gloomy killing intent in the depths of his eyes. It is his shame that he has never suffered such a big loss. He must wipe out Jiang Dong himself to die of this shame: "No Waiting for too long, even if I lose today, one day, I will conquer Jiangdong!"

Hatred cannot solve the current situation.

Now the main forces of Jiangdong and Jingzhou are approaching Yiling. If Yiling is lost, it will mean the loss of the Yangtze River waterway, and it will even allow the Jiangdong Jingzhou coalition forces to break into Yizhou. If they are more ruthless, it is not impossible to directly enter Jiangzhou City.

Therefore, this battle cannot be defeated.

"Report to Xi Sima, the Jiangdong warship has approached my water village for twenty miles!"

"Explore again!"

Xi Zhicai did not become decadent because of this battle. Although he was defeated, he was able to bear the defeat, and he is still very stable now, which has stabilized the morale of the soldiers below.

"promise!"

The scout bowed his hand.

"Xi Sima, please order to attack!" Chen Dao bowed his hands and asked for orders: "Active attack is the best defense. At this time, we can't rely on defense to defend Yiling, we must attack!"

"Don't be impatient, now is not the time!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head.

His eyes fell on a young man in Tsing Yi. If his life could be taken back, this man is the one more, but it's a pity for this man's arrangement.

This is Zhuge Liang.

When Zhuge Liang and Zhou Cang ambush Hua Rongdao back then, it was too clear what their intentions were.

In fact, there is hope for this battle.

Once he can force Cai Mao to give up Jingzhou City, Zhuge Liang's strategy will be half successful.

It's just that people are not as good as God.

Who would have thought that Jiangdong would deal a fatal blow to the Mu army at this time, which pushed the Mu army directly into a desperate situation. Only then did Zhou Cang and Zhuge Liang take the risk to fight out from Huarong Road, so that the main force of the Mu army could escape from this place. Fighting, more than half of them escaped.

Otherwise, if he plays on his talents, his entire army will really be wiped out, and his soldiers will die on the Yangtze River.

"Little Zhuge, what are you thinking?" Xi Zhicai said.

"Report to Sima, someone is thinking, you can't jump out of the battlefield!"

Zhuge Liang was not apprehensive. He had a good impression of Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai was older than him. He was superior in talent and ability. He was someone he wanted to learn from, and he was very passionate about doing things. They all imitate the rhythm of Xi Zhicai.

He is not the later Zhuge Kongming who has cultivated his energy in Longzhong for more than ten years. He is not surprised by honor or disgrace, and has five chariots of knowledge. He is just a young man who has not been able to calm down and learn more knowledge.

"Jump out of the battlefield?"

When Xi Zhicai heard this, a flash of light flashed through his mind.

Fans of the authorities.

On the contrary, he felt that Zhuge Liang didn't understand this point more clearly than Zhuge Liang.

"How to say?"

Xi Zhicai was as calm as a mountain, his face remained unchanged, as if everything was insignificant, he continued to ask indifferently, he just wanted to know how much talent this young man still had.

"They want Yiling, so what if I give it to them?"

Zhuge Liang was a little apprehensive. In front of Xi Zhicai, he couldn't let go, but he still calmly expressed his thoughts: "Yiling is difficult to defend, it is nothing more than a battle of attrition. We can give up Yiling, and then think again. Ways to take the initiative, otherwise this battle will not go on!"
