Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 339
Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei's timing was clever.

Pang Tong knew that this was the front army and was afraid that reinforcements would arrive at any time, so he did not go out with all his strength.

But this was enough for Du Xi to gain a big defeat.

After gathering the defeated troops and retreating, Zhang looked at Du Xi with a smile on his face, but finally became a little angry:

"If General Du is unwilling to lead the troops, he can resign from General Xiahou!"

The smile on Du Xi's face faded slightly after receiving this accusation, and he looked at Zhang Ji, who looked at Du Xi without giving in.

In the end, Du Xi didn't want to talk more and waved his hand:
"Camp on the spot and wait for the Chinese army to join up."

After Zhang Ji left with an angry look on his face, Du Xi remembered:

"This De Rong is from a commoner family..."

After Guan Yu went to Jingzhou, his troops pointed directly at Yingchuan, so Du Xi, who was from Yingchuan, was very well-informed.

Go to Guanzhong first and try to attract Liu Bei's attention as much as possible, so that you can make a sudden move in Jingzhou.

Zhang was angry at the defeat just now, but what Du Xi saw was that Liu Bei had really lost his mind and actually deployed cavalry here.

Liu Bei was in a tight situation. If Guanzhong was stronger, Jingzhou would be weaker.

Do you really think you are Emperor Gao?
I care about my own interests at the expense of the overall situation. As expected, the advantage lies with me... no, with the Prime Minister!
After waiting here for a day, Xia Houyuan led his troops here. He didn't talk much about the defeat of the front army. He just reorganized his troops and drove to Linwei and restarted the massive siege.

When Du Xi was free, he began to seriously count the traitors in Linwei City from a distance.

The more he counted, the more Du Xi's smile never stopped.

It's a good city with good soldiers and generals, but it's a pity that they didn't appear in a suitable place.

In Du Xi's view, Guanzhong was already in dilapidated state, and Yongliang was even worse. How many fighting troops could be raised if the troops and horses were thrown here?It's extremely unwise.

Even if Yongliang is occupied, if they attack eastward, Chang'an, Tongguan, and Hongnong will all be obstacles.

Jingzhou is different. It can be called the gateway to the Central Plains. The land of Ru, Ying, and Yu is all flat.

Even if General Xiahou is really defeated in this battle, it will still be worth it!
If Xia Houyuan in front knew what Du Xi was thinking, he would probably pack him up and send him back to Yingchuan now.

However, looking at Linwei's methodical defense and an eye-catching big man shouting loudly to organize the city's defense, Xia Houyuan felt a little depressed.

Thinking that the daughter of the dead brother was just out of the city to collect firewood, she was robbed by this thief.

I really want to chop off your head to pay homage to my dead brother!

This is the simplest thought in Xia Houyuan's heart.

"It's a pity that General Huang is not here, otherwise..."

In Linwei City, Zhang Fei smacked his mouth and sighed.

These words made Pang Tong raise his eyes and stared at Zhang Fei seriously before looking away and refocusing his energy on the arithmetic book in front of him.

There was no room for him to attack and defend the city. What should be arranged had been arranged before the war. Now that he had this time, he might as well read more books.

Pang Tong himself wanted to go to Jingzhou, but he couldn't get away from Yongliang Pass.

But as long as the situation in Jingzhou changes... Pang Tong sighed secretly when he thought of this.

From last year to this year, the clouds have been growing and straight, and it has not been easy.

Xu Shu looked at the three urgent reports on the desk and felt that it was indeed not easy for him.

Although he had expected it, Xu Shu still felt a little tight in his temples when he saw the urgent reports from Duyang, Wuyin, and Biyang almost at the same time.

Opening them up one by one, the contents are pretty much the same. They are all invaded by a large number of Cao's troops.

Blocking Yang leads to Yingchuan River, and Wu Yin compares with Yang to face Runan. This message is quite simple and clear:
"The thief Cao is here." Guan Yu couldn't help but stand up, wandered back and forth in the hall twice, and finally sat down, but his right hand was already holding the Yanyue Sword tightly, his attitude could not be clearer.

After rubbing his head, Xu Shu quickly accepted this expected fact and took the initiative to comfort him:
"Don't be anxious, Yun Chang."

"There are old generals Huang and Guan Ping in Duyang, and they have heavy troops. If we rely on the favorable location, we have no worries for the time being."

"Feng Xi and Zhang Nan deployed their troops in a prudent manner. They guarded Wuyin and Yang in a diagonal manner, and Wuyin was guarded against the mountain. It was difficult to lose it in a short time."

Guan Yu stood up again, looked at the map, and suggested:
"Order Xiang Lang and Liao Li to lead the army and march slowly towards Biyang to find an opportunity to rescue?"

"Yes!" Xu Shu nodded, and then began to lower his head to write the warrant.

Among the three directions, Biyang is the weakest, so it would be good to strengthen it to be prepared.

After the initial panic passed, Xu Shu quickly calmed down and even felt that Cao Jun's attack was a bit early.

After all, it has only been two days since Wancheng received the news from Hanzhong.

According to common sense, it is better to wait at least five to ten days, because Jingbei may also mobilize forces to Guanzhong.

But the attack was launched in just two days. Even if troops were really deployed to Hanzhong and Guanzhong, this time was enough to call them back.

Therefore, Xu Shu's first reaction was: Has there been a change within Cao Cao?Or are there changes within Jiangdong?

But there is no difference. Cao Cao's move was to steal the morale of the three armies, but Jingbei had been waiting for this attack for more than a month.

If Cao Jun didn't come, morale might collapse a little.

Xu Shu, who was thinking with his head down, heard a "rustling" sound in his ears. When he looked up, he saw that General Guan was writing, drawing three arrows from Yingchuan and Runan, pointing directly at Jingbei.

"Now we still need to wait for the second urgent report." Guan Yu said.

Xu Shu nodded and said:

"And the trends in Jiangdong."

As he spoke, he also stepped in front of the map, tapped his finger on Jiangxia, and then slowly slid to the northwest, also pointing directly at Jingbei.

Guan Yu chuckled:

"If we attack Jiangdong together, we will first attack Jingnan and then Jiangling. We will capture both areas before we consider attacking Jingbei."

The reason for this judgment is also very simple. The four counties in Jingnan are connected to Yangzhou and are the easiest to access.

Jiangling is a fortified city on the river. The mentality of the rats is nothing more than relying on the navy to defend the river, so they must covet this place.

In comparison, although attacking Jingbei can join forces with Cao's thieves to encircle them on all sides,...

"What are the benefits of attacking Wancheng?"

Standing at the bow of the ship, Lu Meng, who was high-spirited and disapproving, felt that Prime Minister Cao's general would not consider the issue from Jiangdong's perspective at all.

Not to mention that only half of the road to attack Wancheng from Jiangxia is waterway.

It is still the dry season, and even this half of the waterway is not easy to walk.

Let Jiangdong Navy travel thousands of miles across land to encircle Guan Yunchang?Lu Meng felt that Cao Jun's general was too whimsical. No wonder Chibi was burned with fire.

Heading westward along the river from Jiangxia, two hundred miles after passing Red Cliff is Baqiu, where Zhou Gongjin died of illness.

Lu Meng stood on the bow of the ship and stared at this place with great nostalgia.

If Gong Jin were here, he would be happy to be a fighting general under his account.

But now that Gong Jin is gone, there must be someone who can plan for the master's Jiangdong foundation.

I, Lu Meng, have the duty to inherit the kindness of Marquis Sun!
