Chapter 579 The Battle of Berkshire III (Recommendation Request)
"All Lei Tong's family members disappeared?"

When Liu Gui received this news, he further confirmed that Lei Tong had surrendered to the enemy. It seemed that Lei Tong was pretending to be the Lucheng Army in Linjiang. Liu Gui was not only furious.

Immediately Liu Gui ordered his subordinates to lead 3000 people across the river, and joined forces with the Yan family to attack Lei Tong's army. When Lei Tong's army got the news, they abandoned Linjiang and went eastward, heading towards Yufu.

Regardless of whether Zhang He took Qu Ren or Lei Tong ran eastward, it was all to welcome Guan Yu and the Jingzhou army into Shu. Liu Gui urgently ordered the Yan family to send troops to attack Yufu from both sides of the river with him.

Yufuzhi is located in Jiangguan. According to legend, during the Warring States period, Ba and Chu fought each other, and Jiangguan was established on Chijia Mountain on the north bank of the East Yangtze River in Fengjie today, hence the name.Also known as "Hanguan", it moved to the south bank of the Yangtze River and became the southern barrier of Qutang Gorge, also known as Qutangguan.

Qutang Pass, also known as Kuimen, is located at the foot of Kuimen Mountain in Qutang Gorge, FJ County of the Three Gorges.The high mountains on both sides of the Strait and the Lingjiang River are the gates for the Yangtze River to enter the Three Gorges from the SC Basin.

Qutang Gorge starts from Baidi SD, FJ County in the west and ends at Daxi Town, WS County in the west, with a length of eight kilometers. It is the shortest of the Three Gorges, but the most majestic and precipitous.At the entrance of the west end, there are cliffs standing on both sides of the bank, hundreds of feet high and less than [-] meters wide. White Salt Mountain.

Liu Yan sent Zou Jing, a confidant general, here. Zou Jing followed Liu Yan to Beijing as the Marquis of the Northern Army, and was later promoted by Liu Yan as the captain of Changshui because he gave way to He Yong. After Liu Yan entered Shu, he followed Liu Yan entered Shu, and Liu Yan specially appointed him to guard Yizhou after he settled down in Yizhou.

Zou Jing was seated here, while recruiting refugees from Jingzhou to Shu, while strengthening Jiangguan's military equipment, and building Wujia City on Wujia Mountain.

If you want to attack Jiangguan, you must first attack Chijia City, otherwise you will be attacked by the two armies. Zou Jing thought that Liu Biao was a guard dog and would not invade Yizhou. He never thought that Guan Yu would join forces with Wang Wei to attack Jiangguan. Although there was no progress in besieging Chijia City, Zou Jing was anxious.

Zou Jing had long asked Liu Dan for reinforcements, but Jiamengguan, Bajun, and Qianwei all needed reinforcements more urgently than Jiangguan, so Xu Jing and others wrote back to him that they persisted and persisted. In short, there was no reinforcements.

Fortunately, Zou Jing had stored enough grain and grass for half a year in each of the two cities. Although Jingzhou had a good harvest, Liu Biao would not provide half a year's grain and grass for Guan Yu's troops in vain.

No, as time passed, Guan Yu was at a stalemate at Jiangguan, and Wang Wei only besieged but did not attack Chijia City, obviously not working hard.

Facing Guan Yu's desperate attack, Zou Jing had no choice but to hold on. Was Guan Yu discouraged first, or was he unable to hold on first?
The situation in Jiangguan was so stalemate, and one day Que Jing got the news, and he was forced to be occupied by the Lucheng Army.

Zou Jing had a feeling of being trapped. He knew that the Lu Chengjun had crossed Micang Mountain, and they had won a battle in Berkshire to revive Zhang Lu, but the Lu Cheng army had fought until they could bear it?Does this mean that Berkshire has completely fallen?If Ba County fell completely, would he still need to stick to Jiangguan?

Not long after Zou Jing's doubts, he received a letter from Liu Gui, saying that in order to ensure the safety of Jiangguan, he sent an army to support him, and asked him to withstand the front and rear attacks, because he sent [-] troops to Linguan. River.

Zou Jing was relieved now, this is plausible, otherwise the entire Berkshire could be captured with 1000 Lucheng troops, wouldn't the [-] Lucheng troops sweep the world?
Zou Jing didn't pay attention to the army supporting him, but sent his subordinates to meet him.

His subordinate Zai Yufu greeted the [-] elites who went down the river, and Zou Jing's subordinate looked at the warships of the Jiangzhou Navy, and Liu Gui's handwriting and official seal were all correct, so he had no doubts at all.

The next day, the elite team went up to the city wall of Jiangguan under the order of Zou Jing. As a result, Guan Yu received a special envoy that afternoon, or the Jiangzhou elite water army who cheated to death.

"So-and-so is Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, who are you?"

"Red face, long beard, and green robe, you really are Guan Zhonglang."

The fake dead water army said in surprise.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said: "There is only one person in Lucheng's army, who dares to pretend to be a certain family?"

"That is, that is."

Said the fake dead water army excitedly.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said, "Tell me, why do you want to see a certain place?"

"Also ask Zhonglang to shield the left and right."

Guan Yu glanced proudly, and said: "Everyone in the tent is a confidant, so you can tell me what you want."

Fake dead water army helpless, said: "Mr. Mo Nai's Yizhou Army Marquis Golden Monkey, the current Imperial Forest Army pretends to join the army (fake Nai Dai means, not false)."

"Oh!"

Guan Yu narrowed his phoenix eyes, stroked his beard and said, "Why did Zhang Juanyi send you here, don't gossip, just speak frankly."

"Lieutenant Zhang has led [-] elite soldiers to Jiangguan, and he will hold a fire in Guanshang tonight to join hands with Guan Zhonglang."

The golden monkey said.

Li Yan, who joined the army under Guan Yu's tent, came out and said, "I heard that Zhang Zhonglang fought Liu Gui in Jiangzhou, why did he come to Jiangguan again?"

Lu Chengjun always prepares information in a timely manner, but the whereabouts of Zhang Yun's army are secretive, and many people have lost his news. Therefore, Li Yan, as a member of the army, has to doubt his sudden appearance in Jiangguan.

The golden monkey said: "Zhang Zhonglang abandoned Jiangzhou to take the three surrounding counties. Zhang Zhonglang originally intended to call out Liu Gui's army in Jiangzhou and take Jiangzhou after defeating Liu Gui. Zhang Renhui was in Deyang, and then Yan Yan's army came to kill him, so Zhang Zhonglang had to give up his original plan, so he came up with a way to lead Liu Gui's army all the way to the Quren area, but he met in Linjiang. Gan Ning was remnant, so Zhang Zhonglang followed his plan and ordered Gan Ning to gather the nearby ships and attack the Jiangzhou navy, and then took the forbearance to attract Liu Gui's attention, and Liu Gui never thought that Zhang Zhonglang was planning to attack Jiangguan."

"Zhang Zhonglang, the real general!"

Li Yan not only said.

Zhang He's plan was meticulous and bold, and he took the initiative to penetrate deep into the enemy's interior. Once Zou Jing saw through, he might have no chance of surviving.

That night, Zhang He raised fire at Jiangguan, and immediately led his men to the Guanmen, opened it to welcome Guan Yu's army into the pass, the two Lucheng armies merged, and Zou Jing's army was defeated.

Zou Jing was blocked by Gan Ning in his mansion, and then the Lucheng army surrounded his mansion. Zou Jing looked at Guan Yu under the firelight, and thought that he and Liu Bei were nothing more than insignificant people ten years ago. What Youzhou did, Zou Jing killed himself immediately.

After Zou Jing died, Jiangguan was owned by the Lucheng Army, and Guan Yu ordered Zou Jing's head to go to Chijia City to persuade him to surrender, and the guard of Chijia City surrendered upon seeing this.

At this point, the east gate of Yizhou was opened by the Lucheng Army, and Liu Gui's tens of thousands of troops were under the front of the Lucheng Army and the Jingzhou Army.
