Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 621 Xiangyang
Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang received Hao Zhao's support and entered Hanzhong, where they temporarily settled down.

At this time, Zhao Yun made the decision in Hanzhong. After meeting Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, Nanzheng held large and small banquets. However, when Guan Yu mentioned that he wanted to go to Chencang to meet Liu Bei, Zhao Yun did not agree immediately, but suggested that it would be better for someone to go to Chu first. The king asks for orders...

This is indeed a "reasonable request". After all, it is not like ten years ago when all the princes in the world are just local officials. It is common for them to raise a small white flag and bring down their families and families the next day. .

At this time, the princes are already entrenched warlords... Surrender?Before the influence is completely wiped out, even if it falls, there is always the possibility of a comeback!
As soon as Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang arrived in Chu, they immediately went to join Liu Bei?

This may be a bit confusing, even if the two did not lead an army, but left more than 1 Qi troops in Hanzhong for training, it would not be very appropriate.

Since someone must go to see the King of Chu, Zhuge Liang would naturally do his part. After all, Guan Yu must be more anxious to see Liu Bei than he is.

After all, there is no wireless signal in Chencang yet...

And Zhuge Liang also knew that the Qi people that Chu wanted to guard against the most, besides Liu Bei, was himself, not Guan Yu!
"General Zhao's words are reasonable, and he should indeed be polite. But after all, Brother Guan has a deep brotherhood with the Marquis of Qi. I'm afraid I can't wait any longer. How about I take this trip?" Zhuge Liang said proactively.

"Your Majesty has longed for Mr. Zhuge for a long time. He regretted missing him when he was in Nanyang. Your Majesty will definitely be happy when Mr. Zhuge is gone." Zhao Yun said as if Zhuge Liang missed Bai Tu by coincidence.

"The King of Chu is a scholar of heaven and earth, and he is virtuous and loves his people... Hey, Liang is also looking forward to seeing him." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh.

Unfortunately, in Zhuge Liang's view, Bai Tu's many advantages were "constraints" on his lost dream.

Although Zhuge Liang did not call Liu Bei "Lord" at this time, acquiescing to the fact that Qi had been destroyed, he still called Bai Tu "King of Chu", acting like a foreign minister.

Zhao Yun only did not hear this...

Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang were also in a hurry. On the morning of the second day after bidding farewell to Zhao Yun, they both brought only a few soldiers with them. One went north from Chencang Road, and the other went south along the Han River.

When he came to Chencang Road, Guan Yu found that there was another army there.

Although Guan Yu was not yet desensitized, it seemed that he should not inquire about Chu's military affairs. However, seeing that they were already approaching, Guan Yu still asked the white horse general who was leading the way: "Is this Chu army also going to Chencang?" ?Is Guanzhong so tight?"

"Back to General Guan, General Sun is indeed leading his army to enter Guanzhong. As for the situation in Guanzhong, I don't know." This white horse general followed Chen Dao and Zhao Yun when they were in Hebei. Although he was polite, he But he said without revealing anything.

Guan Yu also guessed that the so-called "General Sun" should be Sun Ce!

As one of the top 5 members of the Chu State's military, the number of leaders is probably even greater than that of Fazheng, yet he actually entered Guanzhong at this time...

Are you preparing to completely wipe out the hypocrites first, or... do you have any thoughts about Long You?
In fact, they should all be considered!
Whether to send troops to Longyou depends on Ma Chao's decision.

Zhuge Liang did not expect at this time that he had not yet arrived at Jinling. He had just followed the Han River to Xiangyang and had already seen Bai Tu - yes, the King of Chu was already in charge of Jingxiang!

Three hundred miles north of Xiangyang is Wancheng, and four hundred miles northeast of Wancheng is Xu County...

It seems that it is still far away from the front line of the confrontation between Chu and Wei, but... compared to Jinling, it is much closer, and more importantly, it is not lame!

From Xiangyang to Wancheng, and from Wancheng to Xuxian, it is basically a flat river. Especially all the way to Wancheng, the benefits of railway tracks can also be used, but the railway tracks from Wancheng to Xuxian are still being laid.

If you want to start from Jinling, there are many mountains and waters!There is no direct rail-car route...

Now that Bai Tu has appeared in Xiangyang, he is obviously ready to fight the Wei State - otherwise Wei State's home base of Yecheng is only four to five hundred miles from Guandu, and it is also a flat river...

If Bai Tu continues to stay in Jinling, it will be very convenient to contact the front line with wireless intelligence, but if he wants to mobilize troops, the distance will be a bit far after all.

Moreover, the battle between Wei and Chu will be a battle that will determine the future destiny of the world. Cao Cao and Bai Tu will definitely come to the battlefield in person.

What was slightly beyond Zhuge Liang's expectation was that Bai Tu came to Xiangyang so early!

When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought in Baima, it started from a small-scale confrontation, but it took more than a year before the official decisive battle.

Ordinarily, it would be too late for Bai Tu to come to Xiangyang in half a year, and to formally dispatch troops from Xiangyang a year later, to sit in the rear and slowly press northward!
Wouldn't it be a waste of military resources to prepare so far in advance?
Although Chu State is wealthy, it cannot afford to waste money to show off its wealth, right?
However, Zhuge Liang did not think that this was some kind of mistake on the part of the Chu State. Instead, he concluded that... this should be because the Chu State had other plans. It was possible that he was preparing for the war before the Wei State and took action "in advance"!
It is true that before Zhuge Liang entered Xiangyang City, he also discovered that many Chu troops had gathered around him. However, as Zhuge Liang, it was impossible for him to go everywhere to inquire and check, so he did not know how many Chu troops there were.

When Bai Tu heard that Zhuge Liang was coming to the west, he immediately took the time to meet him despite his busy schedule.

"In the midst of a busy schedule" is not just for show, but there are indeed a lot of things going on in Chu State recently. Nearly 30 Chu troops are gradually gathering towards Xiangyang!

As for military supplies, they are constantly delivered by land and water every day...

Bai Tu didn't know whether Cao Cao wanted to start a big fight with the Chu State before completely taking over Guanzhong, but Bai Tu had definitely made it. He started a war with Cao Cao in the past two months, and used the Wei State as the main force. battlefield plans.

As for Nishikawa...

With Deng Ai's arrangement and Meng Da and others acting as internal agents, the reason why Zhao Yun stayed in Hanzhong was precisely to send troops to Xichuan at any time.

The other Baitus are not prepared to invest any additional effort, so it would be best if they can accept it. Even if they cannot accept Xichuan, Baitu will still have a battle with Wei!
The kind that rushes to destroy the country...

Both Sima Yi and Cao Cao hoped that Bai Tu would go south and north with them - to give Wei the time to digest Guanzhong as soon as possible, Bai Tu could also take advantage of this opportunity to completely enter Shu and capture Xichuan.

However, Bai Tu obviously didn't think so. Instead, he wanted to fully utilize his mobility advantage to attack Wei State first and completely disrupt Wei State's rhythm.

The previous time when Cao Cao was suspected of being ill had already exposed the chaos within Wei State. At this time, Bai Tu was not prepared to give him a chance to use Guanzhong to catch his breath and adjust his rhythm!
