Chapter 42 Arriving at Lingling Mausoleum

Changsha County fell.

The news immediately spread throughout the counties south of the Yangtze River.

Especially when the ally Wu Jun launched a sudden offensive.

Suddenly, Jingzhou was shaken.

The news that the Wu army betrayed the alliance and launched a sudden attack quickly spread to Jiangling City, the capital of Nanjun, like a torrential river.

Between the city and the military mansion.

At this moment, Guan Yu was originally discussing with Zhu Wenwu how to guard against Cao Jun's forces in northern Jingbei and how to build a defense line.

After hearing this military report for a while.

Guan Yu suddenly became furious.

"What? The rats from Jiangdong actually attacked me in Jingzhou?"

He immediately took the battle report and looked it up. After reading it, the anger in his chest suddenly erupted like a volcano. He tore the paper into pieces with one hand and said angrily with the other:

"Wuxia Amen, you are really capable."

"They actually took advantage of the fact that our army in Changsha County was still weakly defended and launched a sneak attack here."

After a while, the words fell.

Guan Yu's anger at this moment had reached an extreme level.

"Send the order and quickly order the public security guard Fu Shiren to lead his troops to Baqiu and garrison them to prevent the Wu army from taking advantage of the situation to seize the city."

"Here!"

In the blink of an eye, Guan Yu was also quick in thinking. As soon as he received the information, he thought of Baqiu's strategic position and immediately sent troops to gather.

After that, he gave another order: "The whole army will stop gathering towards Dangyang, and all the troops will return to Jiangling in order. I will personally lead the troops to punt the boat south to annihilate these Jiangdong rats."

As soon as this statement came out.

On the left side of the hall, a middle-aged man wearing a green shirt and cotton-padded jacket, with white eyebrows fluttering between his eyebrows, delicate features and a rosy complexion, quickly offered his hand to persuade:

"General Guan, Yi Liang, you should think twice about this matter!"

"Our army immediately sent an envoy to Lukou to meet with Lu Su and ask him why he betrayed the alliance and made the surprise attack. If the dispute can be resolved peacefully, a military encounter will be avoided."

"After all, Cao Cao's army is now at a very high level, and Cao Cao has been coveting the land of Jingzhou. If he fights with Wu's army, the situation will be extremely unfavorable!"

As soon as this statement came out.

Guan Yu refused without any hesitation.

"Ji Chang, you think too highly of Sun Quan's character."

"If those rats in Jiangdong really have a big picture, why would they attack me in Jingzhou?"

After saying this, Guan Yu looked serious and said sternly: "Now that Wu Jun has ignored the overall situation and acted first, then I will not retreat!"

"You don't need to say anything more. I have decided on my plan and will quickly send troops south to attack the Wu army."

That's it.

He waved his hand and motioned for the eight-foot-long and unusually burly young man standing next to him to immediately go and deliver the order: "Ping'er, hurry up and deliver the order. Order Liao Hua and Zhao Lei to return to the army quickly."

"Here!"

After the order was passed, his son Guan Ping quickly ran out with his hands in hand.

Ma Liang and others saw that Guan Yu had made up his mind to fight Wu Jun, and they had no choice but to do so!

The order is passed down.

The important town of Jiangling also started to be busy in an instant.

The various units of the Jingzhou Army that were supposed to go north to defend the enemy gathered outside the city to get ready and prepare to sail by boat.

With the great changes in the situation in Jingzhou.

It also spread to Xiangyang in a short period of time.

Immediately afterwards, the news was sent back to Xudu.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Cao also knew that the Sun and Liu families in Jingzhou were about to fight fiercely.

His body, which was no more than seven feet tall, suddenly jumped up happily.

After a long time, he suppressed the joy in his heart, regained his former calm, and ordered:

"I sent an order to Lu Chang to always pay attention to the trends in the south of the Yangtze River, sit back and watch the internal fighting between Sun and Liu, and submit the latest battle report back to Xudu at any time."

"Here!"

After the order was handed down, Cao Cao couldn't help but look pensive for a while.

This move is extremely beneficial to him.

"The former Miaocai has sent a message of victory, and Liangzhou has been basically pacified, and all the forces that stubbornly resisted have been eliminated."

"Next, it's time to send troops to Hanzhong."

"Let's fight. The more intense the fight, the less Sun Quan will have the energy to take care of Jianghuai. Then our army can rest easy and pacify Hanzhong."

For a time, Cao Cao was also thinking very far at this moment.

In terms of the strategic goals he planned next, Sun Quan took the lead in betraying the alliance and launched an armed attack on Jingzhou, which undoubtedly relieved the defensive pressure in the southeast.

Originally, he was still hesitating about how the Jianghuai defense line should be arranged when his army was fully engaged in attacking Hanzhong.

This... this is really giving me a pillow when I feel sleepy!

The thoughts in his mind flashed away, and Cao Cao also looked determined.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately summoned his trusted advisors to discuss the matter.



And just after the incident, Jingzhou was in chaos.

Zhao Tong's troops, who had been walking through the deep mountains for nearly a month, had just overcome many dangers and relied on willpower to walk out of the vast mountains and reach the territory of Wuxi Barbarians.

This is a journey.

Even though the morale of the officers and soldiers under his command was extremely high.

In terms of energy consumption, he was almost exhausted.

Even Zhao Tong himself was severely affected mentally at this moment.

Along the way, he was always amazed.

Looking at the road traffic in Qianzhou during the Three Kingdoms era, it would be difficult to understand the hardships without walking on it yourself.

After the army arrived at the territory of Wuxi Barbarians.

At this time, Tong Zhao also issued a strict order: "All ministries will camp where they are to rest and recover as quickly as possible."

"But remember, this is the territory of the Wuxi barbarians. Do not disturb the tribes to avoid conflicts between the two armies."

"If there is any violation, it will be dealt with according to military law!"

An order was passed down.

After nearly half a year of training, this army has already forged the belief in strict military discipline under Zhao Tong's leadership.

Now that the order has been issued, the sergeants in each department know that their generals enforce the law like a mountain, and no one dares to treat military orders as child's play.

Simply rest for a while.

Zhao Tong then decided to ride alone to visit the legendary Wuxi Barbarian King Samoko.

In the original history, he vaguely remembered that the Wuxi Barbarian King responded to Liu Bei's army's eastward expedition against Wu.

Now that Jingzhou is under attack, one more army will give one more strength.

What's more, it is understood that the combined military strength of the Wuxi Barbarian tribes cannot be underestimated!

If we can incorporate this tribe, it will be like adding more power to a tiger.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Tong decided to give it a try.

only.

After a long conversation, Wuxi Barbarian King Samoko had a strong impression of his own army. However, when Zhao Tong suggested that he lead his army to help defeat the invading Wu army, Samoko waved his hand and declined.

At the end of his words, Shamoko said with a deep smile: "However, General Zhao has just arrived. I'm afraid he still doesn't understand the recent battle situation in Jingzhou."

After that, Shamoke slowly told Zhao Tong about the battles in Jingzhou during this period.

"Thank you very much, Lord Barbarian, for the battle report."

"You and I will meet again soon!"

He cupped his hands and said goodbye, then left quickly.

Since Samoko is not willing to help now, there is nothing he can do. He can only wait and think of a solution later.

Waiting to return to camp.
