Rebirth: I’m Lv Bu

Chapter 324: Capture Wancheng

That night, Sun Ce led tens of thousands of infantry troops to leave the camp and head towards Xiangyang to fight back. Sun Jian led the rest of the army to follow Sun Ce, while Zhou Yu and Huang Gai led the navy to attack the water gate of Xiangyang from the water. Xiangyang faces Han River to the north, and there is a water area in the north city that leads directly to Han River, so there is a large-scale pier in the city. Ships can enter the Han River directly from the north gate of the city, and then descend directly to the Yangtze River. The reason why this Xiangyang is prosperous is that the land of Jingxiang is a land of fish and rice, rich in land, rich in things and rich in people, and second, because of the convenience of water transportation, it can directly reach the Sanjiang and even the foreign oceans, so commerce is extremely prosperous. Finally, it established the status of Xiangyang as a prosperous city in the Central Plains. Whether it is Cao Cao, Liu Bei or Sun Jian, the reason why Xiangyang is salivating is not only because of its important strategic position, but also because of its richness!

All the warships of the Jiangdong Navy left the water village and sailed down the current towards the north gate of Xiangyang. Zhou Yu stood on the deck and looked at the distant scene, frowning.

Huang Gai came to Zhou Yu's side and couldn't help but said, "General Governor, what is going on? How could Cao Jun suddenly occupy Xiangyang? I still feel unbelievable!"

Zhou Yu snorted coldly, "We are all caught in the tricks of Cao Thief! I originally thought that the thief used Cao Ren's tactics to attack Xiangyang head-on! However, I underestimated Cao Thief! I didn't expect that he would be attacked by Cao Ren. It was another sound! We thought that their main attack direction was here, but in fact, it was still suspected soldiers. It was Cao Hong and the others who really took charge of the main attack! We were completely deceived by Cao thief, and we didn't even notice Cao Hong sneaking into the south of Xiangyang! It’s because I underestimated the enemy! In fact, on the first day of the war, Cao Jun’s performance was already a bit wrong!" Huang Gai couldn’t help but said, “Why do you blame yourself for the Chief Governor! This is really that Cao thief is too cunning, and it’s hard to guard against Ah!" Zhou Yu frowned and didn't say a word, his eyes showed anger and resentment. Huang Gai's remarks just now were meant to persuade Zhou Yu, but he didn't expect to make Zhou Yu even more angry.

Sun Ce led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Xiangyang overnight, and immediately launched a fierce attack as soon as he reached the city. The offensive came so suddenly that Cao Jun was caught off guard. In just a moment, the West Gate was lost and Sun Ce led the army into the city!

At this moment, Cao Hong personally led the Tiger and Leopard cavalry as the vanguard to counterattack Jiangdong Army near the city gate. The tiger and leopard cavalry launched a charge on the street, and the rumbling sound was like a thunderstorm. The iron hoof torrent crashed into the Jiangdong army, and the Jiangdong army was overturned like a stormy sea. The horse's long sword was in the Jiangdong army. There are countless shocking blood rains in the bushes! The Tiger and Leopard cavalry is extremely powerful, and the hoof rushes forward! Although Sun Ce was brave, he couldn't resist the violent rush of his opponents. The Jiangdong Army who rushed into the city was frightened and killed under the collision and trampling of the tiger and leopard cavalry. He had already rushed into the city, but he was forced out again!

Sun Ce still wanted to fight, but the Cao Jun's troops had already reacted, and the intensive rain of arrows flew up and beat him, Jiangdong soldiers turned their backs! Sun Ce knew that he had lost the opportunity to recapture Xiangyang, so he had to give up on the offensive, and led his army to retreat to the south with the rear team led by his father! At the same time, Zhou Yu, who was preparing to attack the North Gate from the water, suddenly received the military report that Sun Ce had retreated after being frustrated in the attack, and had to give up his plan to counterattack Xiangyang, leading the navy to pass through the North Gate of Xiangyang, and follow the flow. And go on!

Sun Ce and Sun Jian failed to recapture Xiangyang, so he quickly led his army to the south, preparing to retreat to Nanjun and other places to make plans. On the way, Sun Jian and Sun Ce suddenly received a military report from Liu Bei, and learned that Liu Bei and the others had not been able to defeat Cao Ren in one fell swoop according to the pre-designated plan. It turned out that when Cao Ren led his army to march towards Lulin Mountain suddenly, Sanyi revised the previously formulated plan. The plan to counterattack Wancheng was inconvenient, but Liu Bei led his troops and horses to immediately move eastward and converge on Liu Bei's fifth place in Xiling. The 30,000 troops left by Wan Dajun and Lu Bu in Xiling, a total of 130,000 horses besieged Cao Ren's 80,000 troops. According to the judgment of the three parties, with the 130,000 army against Cao Ren's 80,000 army, there is a great chance of winning a big victory. Then he headed northward and crossed Luoshui from the intersection of Luoshui and Hanshui to attack Cao Jun's camp. At this time, the frontal Jiangdong army launched a cross-river offensive and stormed the Cao Jun camp. According to the estimates of the three parties, once such a situation is created, the Cao Jun will be defeated, and perhaps he will be able to capture Cao Cao's forces in one fell swoop.

However, things backfired. Not only did Sun Jian inexplicably lose Xiangyang here, but the land and water army had to rush to the south, and even the Green Forest Mountain was in trouble. Liu Bei and the others were not able to eliminate or defeat Cao Ren in one fell swoop as planned. As soon as the two sides fought, Cao Ren led his troops to retreat, and they retreated to the junction of Luoshui and Hanshui before stopping, leaning against the Luoshui knot. Become a stronghold. Liu Bei and his 130,000 army attacked for several days, but they lost their troops and lost their generals but they did not make any progress.

But when Liu Bei and the others received the news that Xiangyang had lost the Jiangdong Army's southward withdrawal, they were shocked, and they dared not continue to attack Cao Ren. The army quickly pushed up the Green Forest Mountain.

It is said that Cao Cao was waiting for reports from all parties on the north bank of the Hanshui River. Not long after that, good news spread. First, Xiangyang was successfully captured by Cao Hong, and then Liu Bei and the others were in vain. They attacked on the east bank of Luoshui for many days and suffered a lot of damage, but none Able to obtain any result has been forced to return to Greenwood Mountain.

Cao Cao laughed, got up and walked under the tent, and exclaimed excitedly: "Okay! Cao Hong, Cao Ren, they did not live up to my expectations! Good work! Especially Cao Hong, not only took Xiangyang in one fell swoop, but also defeated Sun Ce. Counterattack!" I couldn't help looking at Guo Jia, who was standing on the left, with a calm expression, and said with infinite admiration: "This battle can be won, it can be said that it depends on Feng Xiao's tricks! It can be said that Feng Xiao's tricks will help the world!" Guo Jia Weiwei With a smile, he clasped his fist and said, "The Prime Minister has passed the prize! If the Prime Minister hadn't strategized, all this is empty talk!" Cao Cao laughed and said with great joy: "I have a filial piety, which is better than Jia Xu, Zhou Yu and others!"

Xun You said with excitement, "Now that the enemy has lost its troops, and our army has captured Xiangyang, the situation is great for us!"

Cao Cao nodded in agreement. After a pause, the smile on his face narrowed, and he asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, can we take this opportunity to further expand the results?" Guo Jia shook his head and clasped his fists, "Prime Minister, although our army has captured Xiangyang, it is the enemy army. The main strength is still there. Our army is not strong enough, and the enemy is by no means weak. If you rush south, it is very likely that the victory you have now won will be lost. As the saying goes, "Haste is not achieved." Today’s plan is not to continue to make progress, but to maintain the current results as the main task. As for sweeping down the crowds in the south, it will not be too late until our army is ready in the coming year!"

Cao Cao thought it right, and smiled: "With Fengxiao by my side, I won't make any mistakes!" Guo Jia smiled and clasped his fists and said, "The prime minister is too famous!"

At this moment, a personal officer led a servant officer rushed in. The soldier clasped his fist towards Cao Cao and said, "Prime Minister, Wancheng Emergency Report!" After that, he stepped aside. The army officer who was servile in the dust immediately stepped forward and reported: "Prime Minister Qi, Wancheng is lost!"

Everyone present was shocked. Cao Cao shouted angrily: "Why did Wancheng fall? Who beat Wancheng?"

"Return to the prime minister, it's Lu Bu! Lu Bu suddenly appeared and broke through Wancheng!"

Cao Cao looked very surprised and asked: "How did Lu Bu get to Wancheng?! What is going on?" The officer didn't know how to answer this question, and shook his head.

Cao Cao couldn't help looking at Guo Jia. Guo Jiasi thought: "I am afraid that Lu Bu crossed the river from the old river mouth on the upper reaches of the Han River." Then he blamed himself: "I was negligent, and I didn't even think of this possibility! I said how Liu Bei's attack power is better than theirs. Expected to be much weaker, it turns out that Lu Bu is not there!" Then he clasped a fist to Cao Cao: "The prime minister, his subordinates were so careless that they captured Wancheng by Lu Bu, please be punished by the prime minister!"

Cao Cao grabbed Guo Jia's fist, patted his defense, and calmly said, "Feng Xiao, don't blame yourself! People are not gods, and everything can't be counted!" After a pause, he frowned and said, "For today The trick is what should we do?" Then he turned his head and asked the officer who came to report: "How many soldiers and horses does Lu Bu have?" "Return to the Prime Minister, the soldiers and horses led by Lu Bu are about forty to fifty thousand men and horses." "Mao Jun. How is it going now?" "Return to the Prime Minister, General Mao Jie led his army to break through to the north and returned to Ye County Camp. When he was leaving, General Mao Jie sent a villain to report to the Prime Minister."

Cao Cao turned his head and thought: "Lü Bu must not know that Jiangdong Army has retreated southward and Liu Bei's long attack has no results. After knowing it, he will retreat immediately...." After a pause, he smiled." With Lu Bu’s style, he might do something unexpected. Maybe he wants to set up an ambush on our way to Wancheng." Guo Jia nodded and clasped his fists. wise!"

Turning his gaze to Wancheng, it was said that Ailang led an army of fifty thousand through the Old Hekou to cross the Hanshui River and drove Wancheng directly from the southwest of Wancheng. When Ai Lang led his army into Wancheng, Cao Jun was unprepared, and the city gate was not closed. Ai Lang led his army into Wancheng in one fell swoop, Mao Jie hurriedly summoned soldiers and horses to try to resist, but was defeated by Ai Lang's army in one fell swoop. Mao Jie immediately led the defeated soldiers to the north gate and fled towards the northeast. Ailang did not pursue Mao Jie's defeated soldiers. On the one hand, he ordered his subordinates to collect Cao Jun's grain, grass and grains left in Wancheng to prepare for defense, and sent people to inform Sun Jian and Liu Bei, telling them that he had succeeded.

However, the person sent by Jia Xu has not returned yet, but the person sent by Jia Xu has arrived.

"General Qiqi, Sun Jian's army was defeated, Xiangyang has fallen, and the Jiangdong army has withdrawn south..." An officer sent by Jia Xu reported to Ailang.
