With the dispatch of Le Jin and Xu Huang, the Cao army completed the preparations in just three days and began to march south with great momentum.

Because it is a land route and it is difficult to travel in the mountains, Le Jin and Xu Huang suggested building a transfer station every fifty miles on the land, which can provide soldiers who escort food and grass for a little rest, and can also prevent some barbarians from robbing their logistics.

Xiahou Dun of course supported this suggestion very much. During the Battle of Guandu, both armies continued to destroy the other party's food route. Guan Yu, who was lying in ambush, did not dare to confront Le Jin and Xu Huang head-on. He was most likely to rob the food route again, and he had to be careful to protect him.

In order to protect the whole world, Xiahou Dun ordered the few remaining naval troops to gather together and be commanded by Yunshan. The army began to gather continuously to Dangyang. A war aimed at breaking through Jiangling is about to begin.

Zhou Yu from Jiangling also clearly felt huge pressure.

It has been almost five months. Although he has captured Yiling and other places in the west of Jiangling City, and has suffered heavy damage to Cao's army many times in the battle under the city, the Wu army's siege has still made no progress.

After capturing Yiling, General Gan Ning returned, and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei's army was temporarily controlled by Zhou Yu. The appearance of these two powerful generals made Cao Tianren no longer able to exert his terrifying combat power of mowing grass at will among the troops before, but Cao Hong's injury also gave Cao Ren great support.

Now the battle between the two sides is getting more and more tragic. Every morning when Zhou Yu woke up, he secretly vowed that he would break the city today, but at dusk, he still found that Jiangling's city was tall and majestic, and the Wu army's tide-like offensive returned without success every day.

Damn, are reinforcements coming now?

Persist, hold on for a while.

Zhou Yu had no shame to blame Guan Yu.

It was agreed to have three months, and then two months later.

It will be five months soon, and Zhou Yu can only wear armor and work hard to launch a general attack again, trying to break through Jiangling, which is guarded by a strong enemy.

This time, I will definitely be able to defeat Jiangling this time!

Xu Huang took the lead. Their march was very fast and they quickly approached Dangyang.

As expected, he saw an old acquaintance outside Dangyang City.

A 8-foot-tall man, as strong as a cow, stepped on a black and unmistakable war horse, staring at most of the Cao army not far away with his eyes full of hatred.

Although he had only a few thousand men under him, they stood neatly behind the man, like a silent wall, which actually blocked the advance of the army under Xu Huang.

Zhang Fei!

Zhang Fei, who had raided Dangyang before and captured his favorites alive, arrived!

Xu Huang focused his attention and Zhang Fei for a long time, slowly lifted his sword and rode forward, and let out a hearty laugh:

"Yide, it's been a long time since."

Zhang Fei nodded, slowly rode his horse forward, and bowed to Xu Huang:

"Brother, it's been a long time since I was gone."

"I want to go to Jiangling, so I also ask Yidexing for convenience."

"No." Zhang Fei shook his head, "Brother asked me to stay here and stop you all."

I only brought a thousand people to stop Cao's army's continuous reinforcements...

If someone else said this, Xu Huang would definitely make him laugh out loud, but the person who spoke was Zhang Fei. Xu Huang actually felt that it was nothing.

He had more than 8,000 people under his command, and he left 3,000 people to transport food in the rear. The vanguard was 5,000, which was really not a huge army for Zhang Fei.

The three of them have been fighting fiercely with thousands of troops since the start of the army. Basically, they always fight against several times the strong enemy, with only five times the strength... It's not too much for Zhang Fei.

"Where is your second brother? I haven't seen him for a long time, and I really miss you a little." Xu Huang chatted casually about family matters, and the war horse slowly approached Zhang Fei without realizing it.

Zhang Fei frowned and sneered:

"You'd better get off the horse and surrender and take your head to see your second brother. I'm afraid he won't be happy."

Xu Huang laughed loudly, and his legs suddenly squeezed his horse's belly.

Without him speaking out, the cavalry who had followed him to fight on the battlefield for many years had already started quietly. Hundreds of cavalry fought hard to attack Zhang Fei's own formation. The guards around Xu Huang remained motionless, and the rear team slowly surrounded him, posing as if they wanted to completely eat Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei has been through the battlefield for a long time and naturally saw Xu Huang's intentions.

If it is someone else, the best way now is to quickly shrink the formation and retreat, and use the flexibility of your own lineup to try your best to get rid of the enemy's siege.

But Zhang Fei was too lazy to waste this kind of strength.

Even the more than a thousand cavalry under his command were not shaken.

All used to it, all used to it.

Think about it with your toes and know what the general wants to do.

"Xu Huangshi, I will let you bury here today!"

·

Le Jin and Xu Huang both went south with light clothes, and Xiahou Dun entered Xiangyang to take over the city defense here.

Xiahou Dun had a firm and tactful personality. He changed his style of letting Jingzhou people handle everything during the Lejin period. He personally led his subordinates to count the accounts, patrol the treasury, and booked the grain and grass according to the needs of military ration transfer, and transported them outwards by soldiers.

Now he doesn't have many people in his hands. After the reinforcements of the prefect of Runan, Li Tong, arrived, he was still preparing to count the refugees around him, bring back the soldiers sold by Lejin and Xu Huang, and finally slowly expand the surrounding areas and achieve stability in Jingzhou.

Xiahou Dun was not in a hurry to eat Jingzhou in one breath, keep the northern part of Jingzhou, and then slowly operated for a few more years. He believed that Sun and Liu would fight, and Cao Cao would still have the chance to annex the world.

Xiahou Dun was planning a bright future, but Yunshan appeared before his eyes.

That day, Yunshan made a righteous suggestion to him, asking Xiahou Dun to punish Cao Hong.

As long as Cao Hong is punished, Cao's army will usher in a new life. The battle of Jingzhou may show a different situation and everything will gradually get better.

But he...

Still unable to attack Cao Hong.

"There are not many people as loyal as Tanzhi." Xiahou Dun was a little depressed, but he immediately cheered up again.

When Meng De pacifies the world and everything is pacified, I can still deal with the things around me slowly and get everything back on track.

We are so unbearable now that we have loyal and courageous people like Yunshan who are willing to defect to us and fight for us with all our might.

When we pacify the world, we will definitely be able to select more capable people from the grassroots, and then we will definitely create a better era than the Han Dynasty.

Xiahou Dun thought, looking at the stars above his head, he couldn't help but smile, and gradually remembered some past events.

When Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu, Xiahou Dun was ordered to support him. He was beaten by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun and could not find Bei. The two of them remained silent on the way to escape.

That night was also full of stars, and stars were like pairs of talking eyes, observing the world peacefully and peacefully. The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang started chatting with Xiahou Dun in a mess. Although they were not very promising, every day in the chaos in the world survived. After listening to the grand ambitions of the three brothers, Xiahou Dun felt warm and seemed to be wandering in the years of pursuing his ideals.

How great it would be if I could still return to that...

In the dream, Xiahou Dun turned over and suddenly felt so hot that he kicked off the quilt on his body.

The weather is abnormally cold these years, and Xiangyang is also quite cold in late spring, but today there are actually gusts of warm wind blowing over.

Xiahou Dun suddenly realized something was wrong, and he stood up and saw that it was red outside the window.

The sky in Xiangyang City was dyed red, and it seemed that the whole city was swallowed by fire. The flames soared into the sky swept through everything, endless heat waves rolled in, and Xiahou Dun stood still for a moment.

wrong!

No call, no scream.

What's wrong with this?

"Where are people! Where are people!" Xiahou Dun ran out of the door and roared angrily.

But no one around responded. The fire illuminated half of the world, but Xiahou Dun felt chill all over.

He quickly drew out his long sword and ran into the barracks on the fire.

Xiahou Dun was speechless when the scene caught his eyes was shocking.

The personal guards who followed him lay all over the ground. Xiahou Dun ran up to check, but they had already disappeared.

Fire dragon burns the warehouse.

This is the rule to check the granary, and Xiahou Dun had been prepared for a long time.

Coke Jin and Xu Huang were not burning when they were there. As soon as they left, the place was on fire.

Not only did he catch fire, but he followed Xiahou Dun and went south with more than 500 personal guards, but they were poisoned to death overnight.

Oh, by the way...

Xiahou Dun searched everywhere but did not see the shadows of the scholars in Jingzhou under Le Jin and Xu Huang's tent.

Not half of it!

They did not put out the fire, nor did they come out to call for help. They just watched the entire military camp be destroyed by the fire. Xiahou Dun opened his mouth to call for help, but he could only sit on the ground helplessly.

Xiangyang City was much more dangerous than he thought.

He knew what the enemy was hinting at.

He could almost see a tall figure pointing at his nose arrogantly, barking and roaring in a crazy voice:

check!

Don't you like to check it?

I used to burn food, but now I just burn people!

If you check again, you will burn you too!

Xiahou Dun felt a chill that rushed straight up to his head, and he ran quickly and quickly towards the riverside.

Yunshan has not left yet! Yunshan is still raising military rations!

Save me with silence!
Chapter completed!
