Lu Xun went to Lukou to temporarily take over Lu Meng's position, and more than 2,000 plots in his headquarters also followed.

Although the rights of other generals will not be lifted, Lu Xun still has to hand over all important matters such as intelligence collection and defense of military camps to his confidant.

Although Lu Xun was young, he showed extraordinary military talent and had a good reputation in Jiangdong.

Just because he is Sun Ce's son-in-law, even the general Gan Ning wants to give him some face.

The generals of Lukou actively cooperated with his work. Lu Xun quickly sorted out his mind and immediately wrote a letter to Guan Yu.

Lu Xun took advantage of Guan Yu's pride and arrogance, and in the book, he praised Guan Yu's martial arts with humble words, praised his merits, expressed his admiration for him, and said that he would never be an enemy of Guan Yu.

After Guan Yu received Lu Xun's replacement of Lu Meng, he felt that Lu Xun was young and had little knowledge, and had insufficient prestige, and he looked down on Lu Xun very much.

After receiving Lu Xun's letters and gifts, Guan Yu sneered at Lu Xun's timidity, and even believed that he was not a problem. He also enjoyed Lu Xun's flattery and completely lost his vigilance towards Jiangdong.

Guan Yu still has a chance of winning in the war in Fancheng.

Moreover, Fu Shiren and Mi Fang could not withstand the pressure of Guan Yu and obediently sent the food and grass, which would be enough for a month to relieve his worries.

Jiangling and the Public Security Bureau are the center of Jingzhou. Although there are many defenders, Guan Yu dare not use them casually.

Guan Yu had been attacking Fancheng for a long time, and Xu Huang led his troops to help.

Although Xu Huang was still holding his troops, Guan Yu had to divide his troops to intercept him. Now Guan Yu's troops were a little short of his strength.

However, Guan Yu still did not call on the military of the police and Jiangling, but only transferred the troops of counties and counties near Xichuan such as Yidu and Fangling, and increased the attack on Fancheng.

Afterwards, Guan Yu's spies brought news that Cao Cao personally led the army and had left Luoyang and headed for Wancheng.

After receiving this news, Guan Yu was really anxious and wanted to fight quickly.

His current stall is too large, and the proportion of reorganized prisoners and bandits in the army is too high, exceeding 50%. Not only does the combat effectiveness of the army have been reduced, but the generals' control over the army has also decreased.

At the same time, the rapid consumption of food and grass also made Guan Yu very worried.

Although after Hua Tuo's bone scraping and healing poison, Guan Yu's arrow injury was no longer serious, he was unable to go into battle himself.

Guan Yu wanted to crush Cao Ren with his superior forces, so he used the left-behind police and Jiangling to guard against Jiangdong's army. Most of them were transferred to the front line. While intercepting Xu Huang, he attacked Fancheng day and night.

Guan Yu tried every possible price to fight Cao Ren in Fancheng, hoping to take Fancheng before Cao Cao arrived.

Now that it has begun to show results, Cao Ren's army guarding the city is less than 10,000, and his morale is sluggish, victory seems to be right in front of him.

Although Fancheng is shaking, once Cao Ren comes to the city to defend himself, the defenders can always burst out with super combat power.

Zhou Cang personally led the school to attack the city with his swordsmanship and attacked the city many times, but was always driven down by Cao Ren and failed.

As the delay was getting longer and longer, Guan Yu became more and more anxious because not only Xu Huang had already begun to attack Guan Ping and Liao Hua, but he also had few food and supplies.

Guan Yu once again put the idea of ​​food and grass on Mi Fang and Fu Shiren.

But Guan Yu's luck was still as good as ever. Before he could send someone to urge grain, Fu Shiren from the police had already transported the grain.

This time, Fu Shiren sent a lot of food, a whole fleet, which solved Guan Yu's urgent needs. Guan Yu felt that Fu Shiren was not as useless as he imagined.

When Wang Fu received the grain, he saw the words "Xiangguan" on the grain bag. He suspected that it was military rations from Jiangdong, and once asked the general who transported the grain.

According to him, Fu Shiren purchased it from a grain merchant from Changsha County, and the quantity was quite large. The remaining amount had not been settled yet, which was at least enough for Guan Yu's existing army to use for half a year.

After solving the military ration problem, Guan Yu sent Guan Ping and Liao Hua to lead the army to refuse Xu Huang, and asked Zhou Cang and others to attack Fancheng with all their strength.

...

...

When Hua Tuo healed Guan Yu, Ma Liang always accompanied Guan Yu to play chess.

Guan Yu never groaned in pain from beginning to end. Seeing Guan Yu's slightly trembling hands and sweat beads on his forehead, Ma Liang was also very impressed by Guan Yu's heroic spirit.

After Hua Tuo's diagnosis and treatment, the pain in Guan Yu's right arm immediately improved, and his mood improved greatly.

Because Hua Tuo insisted on not accepting medical funds, Guan Yu held a banquet to entertain Hua Tuo, so naturally he did not forget Ma Liang who he specially invited. He asked him to sit beside him to accompany him, which made Ma Liang very moved.

But what happened at the banquet made Ma Liang very embarrassed.

Guan Yu seemed to be sure of Ma Liang's achievements in raising food and grass, but in fact he denied his achievements in planning in the war, with the purpose of hype of his military achievements.

Ma Liang, who once opposed Guan Yu's continued attack, naturally became a stepping stone for Guan Yu.

Most of the others at the banquet were Ma Liang's past subordinates, so they naturally had to exchange greetings.

This time Guan Yu invited Ma Liang. At first they also speculated that Guan Yu wanted to invite Ma Liang out of the mountain and entrusted him with important tasks. Although he was jealous in his heart, he was quite polite to Ma Liang in terms of face.

But at the banquet, Guan Yu intentionally or unintentionally belittled Ma Liang's military talent. The officials who had already become elites all woke up. Guan Yu invited Ma Liang over, but did not seem to have the intention to use it, but just used it as a foil for himself.

In order to cater to Guan Yu, they exaggerated Guan Yu's achievements and had to reject Ma Liang's strategy of retreating.

Some people even sarcastically sarcastically to praise Guan Yu.

Guan Yu seriously overestimated himself because of the victory of flooding the Seventh Army. He also enjoyed this kind of flattery and acquiesced to their behavior.

Although Ma Liang is not a petty person, he also has the pride of a literati.

Without speculation, Ma Liang did not leave without silence, and he had already cultivated himself.

In fact, Guan Yu invited Ma Liang over this time because he really wanted to share the joy of victory with him.

Who knew that Ma Liang was not self-aware and wanted to persuade Guan Yu to retreat to recuperate.

When Ma Liang first came, he saw Guan Yu defeating Yu Jin. Pang De's army was happy for Guan Yu, and he was even more worried about Guan Yu's failure later.

Because his younger brother Ma Su was able to predict Guan Yu's victory, he would not have misunderstood his subsequent failure, but he could not provide a convincing reason.

Therefore, Ma Liang made Guan Yu feel unhappy again, so he let his subordinates target him and belittled Ma Liang.

Ma Liang was so angry that he returned to Majiahe without stopping.

He did not go home first, but found Ma Su directly, and only said, "A arrogant soldier will be defeated!"

He immediately ordered Ma Su to arrange his wife and children to go to Chengdu as soon as possible.

Ma Liang himself did not want to leave Jingzhou, but he did not want to be in danger, so he prepared to go to Shajiazhai with Ma Su.
