Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 766 Ma Liang Suggests Guan Yunchang

"Your Majesty, most of the Jingzhou Army in Runan City escaped, and we only captured less than 2 people!"

After entering Runan, the Han army went everywhere to arrest the Jingzhou army, but the [-] Jingzhou army were all living people with weapons in their hands. If they were fighting in the wild, it would be easier to arrest people, but in Runan City, these The Jingzhou army relied on the streets and alleys to deal with the Han army, and the south gate and west gate were in the hands of the Jingzhou army, so most of the Jingzhou army escaped through these two gates and fled south to find Guan Yu.

"There are quite a few. It's useless to catch too many prisoners. You have to keep them and send someone to guard them. It's okay to run away, don't worry!"

Liu Wei didn't care how many prisoners were captured.

"Your Majesty, Guan Yu fled southward to Gepo, where to gather the defeated army, did we go south overnight and attack Gepo at night?"

"Shiyuan, don't worry, Gepo is a tiny place, and the city wall is not even a foot high. If I want to beat Gepo, I can easily beat him. You should take a look at this first!"

Liu Wei picked up a confidential letter from the table and threw it into Pang Tong's hand.

Pang Tong took the secret letter, read it once, and said, "Your Majesty, this is what we expected. Is there anything strange about it?"

The secret letter was sent from Jibei, and the report was nothing more than that the Southern Allied Forces attacked Jibei.

Liu Wei looked up at Pang Tong: "Don't you think they reacted a little too quickly? And look at the above, they stayed in Qingzhou with less than [-] soldiers and horses, and the rest of the army was sent to Jibei area. Could it be that Liu Bei Wouldn't there be a conflict with Sun Ce because of interests? I have given up the entire Qingzhou!"

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"I suspect that there are spies among us who exposed our whereabouts to Liu Bei and Sun Ce!"

After Liu Wei finished speaking, his face was heavy. This was the last thing he wanted to see—a traitor appeared in the army.

"Your Majesty, this is unlikely. Our marching route was determined by our senior generals and you. Could it be that there are spies among the senior generals? This is probably not possible!"

After Pang Tong analyzed it, he felt that there was little chance of spies in the army. The traitors were produced because of two things, namely, fame and fortune. However, these senior generals were all veterans who followed Liu Wei all the year round. Shaoli, Liu Wei treats them well, they have no reason to betray Liu Wei.

Liu Wei nodded: "Yeah, I'm just skeptical, but there are no spies, how do they know that I'm here, instead of guessing that I'm back to Hebei!"

"Well, Your Majesty, we are taking the main road this way. Although there are no scouts from them, don't forget that this Yanzhou is the territory we just conquered. There may be remnants of Cao's army hidden there. They have no strength to avenge Cao Cao. , then reveal our marching trajectory, and besides, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are both top strategists, from their eyes, it is not impossible to guess that His Majesty will go south to attack Yuzhou!"

Although Pang Tong was just guessing, he had guessed most of what happened.

"Then I will rest assured for the time being and deal with Guan Yu with peace of mind!"

Only then did Liu Wei feel a little relieved, but the higher the status, the more suspicious people tend to be. Although Liu Wei has ruled the world, he has powerful enemies outside. It is possible to cause an error.

"Your Majesty, how are you going to deal with the bandits attacking Jibei?"

"I have already written to An'er to mobilize Gao Shun, Long Jian, and Peng'er to Jibei, Jinan, and Mount Tai for support. We don't need to worry about Yanzhou!"

Liu Wei heaved a sigh of relief, sat back on his chair, and said, "I thought Liu Bei would have a disagreement with Sun Ce and force them to retreat after giving up Qingzhou and attacking Yuzhou. I didn't expect that instead of retreating to defend Yuzhou, they would attack instead. Yanzhou!"

"Your Majesty, you underestimate Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang. They are not like Yuan Shao and Liu Zhang. How could they fail to see that they returned to Yuzhou? Containing our forces, if Yanbei loses its defense, our food routes and retreat routes will all be cut off. Attacking Yanbei will do them no harm, but it will be different for us. Our army will be cut into two sections, the head and the tail will not be able to look at each other, so please don't take it lightly, once Yanbei falls, our army will definitely be defeated!"

Pang Tong also had a headache. Although he didn't say anything, he complained in his heart that Liu Wei didn't listen to his plan to attack Liu Bei, and insisted on sending troops to attack Xichuan.

Liu Wei is also very regretful. If he knew why today, it is thanks to the fact that there are no other threats in the north, otherwise he will definitely be dragged down. Now [-]% of the entire Han army has been dispatched, and there is no way out, no matter which side loses , he can only gather his power and retreat to Hebei.

"Shiyuan, I'm ruined. If I had listened to you and sent troops to attack Liu Bei, there wouldn't be so many things!"

Originally a good game of chess was played by Liu Wei, a stinky chess basket, to this point. If you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game.

"Your Majesty, what's the use of regretting things now, let's go all the way to the dark, besides, things are not without a turnaround, if we go a little further south, things will turn around!"

What Pang Tong said is true, as long as Liu Wei's troops can continue to go south and attack Jingzhou, the turning point will come. Liu Bei will definitely retreat back to Jingzhou in consideration of his foundation, and the dilemma in the north will be resolved.

"Yeah! Rest up for one night, and chase Guan Yu tomorrow! I'm going to rest."

Liu Wei was also a little tired. After speaking, he signaled Pang Tong to back down.

Pang Tong knows how to advance and retreat, and understands that Liu Wei is not physically tired, but mentally tired. Let alone a night's rest, even a year's rest will not relieve him. Only by defeating Guan Yu can Liu Wei feel at ease.

The next day, Liu Weizhi kept a thousand wounded soldiers to defend the city, and the rest of the army followed Liu Wei who went south to attack Ge Po.

In Gepo City, when Guan Yu heard the news that Liu Wei had followed him, he was so anxious that he sweated and said to himself, "Why hasn't the eldest brother come back? Are you going to abandon Jingzhou?"

In Gepo City, Ma Liang, who came from Jingzhou, said to Guan Yu: "Second General, I have a plan. Although it is risky, if it succeeds, it is possible to kill Liu Wei. No matter how bad it is, Liu Wei can be repelled!"

"Okay, okay, come and listen!"

Guan Yu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and pulled Ma Liang's arm, pulling it back forcefully.

Guan Yu's strength is so strong, how can Ma Liang's thin body resist, being grabbed by Guan Yu like this, he grimaced in pain.

"General, let go, you are grabbing my arm and breaking it!"

Ma Liang blushed from the pain.

"Oh, okay, tell me quickly!"

Guan Yu let go of Ma Liang's arm and listened attentively.

Ma Liang said to Guan Yu in a low voice: "The Second General only needs to do this and that!"

Guan Yu's face was surprised at first, then his eyes lit up, and he kept nodding his head.There was also a satisfied smile on his face.
