At the beginning, in order to jointly deal with the Cao army with Sun Quan, Liu Jing assigned the four counties of Jingnan to Jiangdong. He actually had a deep meaning. He knew that Liu Bei had unified Jiaozhou at this time, and also knew that Liu Bei could not adapt to the climate of Lingnan. He always dreamed of counterattacking the Central Plains. However, as long as he, Liu Jing's army was in Jingnan for one day, Liu Bei would not dare to act rashly.

But if Sun Quan's Jiangdong Army occupied Jingnan, the significance for Liu Bei was completely different. The main force of the Jiangdong Army was far away in Jianye, and the transportation of food and supplies was inconvenient, so there would definitely not be many troops in Jingnan. If a war broke out, the Jiangdong Army would not be able to rescue it. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Liu Bei's Jiaozhou Army.

More importantly, when Liu Jing and Sun Quan signed the agreement, the agreement clearly stipulated that the number of troops garrisons in the four counties of Jingnan should not exceed 10,000. It was the constraint of the agreement that the number of troops garrisons in the four counties of Jingnan was only 8,000, and the commander of the Changsha County Governor and the commander of Jingnan was the commander of the Guardian of Changsha County and the commander of Jingnan.

Facts have proved that Liu Jing's speculation was not wrong. Liu Bei's return to the north was already uncontrollable. A month ago, Liu Bei, who had stabilized Jiaozhou, appointed Zhuge Liang to lead 20,000 troops to march north to Jingnan, with Zhang Fei as the vanguard, and launched a sudden attack on the four counties of Jingnan occupied by the Jiangdong Army.

In just a day, Zhang Fei occupied Guiyang County. Then Zhuge Liang led his troops north to Xiangdong County. Chen Ji, the governor of Xiangdong County, surrendered. The Jiaozhou army was unstoppable and rushed into Hengyang County in one fell swoop.

At this time, Bu Zhi was already in a hurry. He was on the verge of trouble. He was on the one hand to ask for help from the chief general of the Jingzhou naval army and General Annan Gan Ning, and urgently sent people to Jiangdong for help. At the same time, Bu Zhi ordered General Jianwu Xu Sheng to lead 5,000 Jiangdong troops to Hengyang County to prevent the Jiaozhou army from seizing Hengyang.

The Liangjiangkou of Hengyang County is the estuary of the river injected into the Xiang River. The intersection of the two rivers is under the jurisdiction of Xiangnan County, the county of Hengyang County. To the north of the Liangjiangkou is Changsha County, which is also the densely populated and rich Dongting Lake Plain.

The Wanjiaozhou Army led by Zhuge Liang encountered 5,000 elite soldiers led by Xu Sheng at the mouth of Liangjiang.

The Jiaozhou army marched northward slowly stopped, and a scout rushed back and reported to Zhuge Liang: "Report to the military advisor, he found that the five thousand Jiangdong troops were stationed on the camp with their backs against Lianshui, about twenty miles away from us."

Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan and smiled at Guan Yu next to him, "Chang Yun, I have heard that this Xu Sheng is a brave general. When I see him today, he is indeed well-known and he wants to fight against the enemy."

Guan Yu sneered: "We have ten thousand troops, six soldiers fight one army. If they fight ten battles, how can they ask the military advisor to let Guan lead ten thousand troops and defeat the Jiangdong army in one battle."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "I don't need to fight hard with them when I attacked the enemy. I just need to send an army to raid Changsha, and Xu Sheng will be in trouble without fighting."

At this time, Zhang Fei whispered loudly: "Military advisor, let me go, I'll twist the head of Bu Zhi off."

Guan Yu frowned again, "Military advisor, if the reinforcements of Changsha County have been there, wouldn't it be very dangerous to raid Changsha?"

"Danger"

Zhuge Liang shook his feathers and smiled and said, "Where did the reinforcements in Jiangdong come from? The reinforcements will take four days to go. Sun Quan may not know that something has happened in Jingnan. As for the Jingzhou army, I believe Gan Ning will have 10,000 reasons to come."

"Why can't the Jingzhou army come?" Guan Yu asked in confusion.

"This was originally a plan made by Liu Jing. Jiangdong was anxious and swallowed the bait in one bite. It was not easy to decouple again. Therefore, the Jingzhou army would never come to rescue him."

Guan Yu nodded, and he seemed to understand a little.

...........

Xu Sheng had no choice at this time. He had only five thousand troops. Faced with the strong pressure from the Wanjiaozhou army, he could only fight against the enemy with a determination to burn his boats.

At this time, Xu Sheng had already learned that the Jiaozhou army had come. The enemy was more than ten miles away. He immediately led the soldiers to open an open space and prepared to face the decisive battle with the enemy. They were not far from the Xiang River. The wind was strong, and the flags slapped the flagpole and flicked. Five thousand soldiers of the Jiangdong Army had already lined up, with bright helmets and bright armor and neatly looked.

Xu Sheng rode on the war horse and looked into the distance. They had been waiting for almost an hour, but there was still no sign of the enemy. This made Xu Sheng feel quite uneasy. At this time, a soldier pointed to the distance and shouted: "General, the scout is back."

I saw a black dot running from the south. Xu Sheng was excited. It should be the scout. He was waiting for the scout news. Soon, the scout rushed over. Xu Sheng urged him to come forward and asked loudly: "What's the situation?"

The scout rushed to the front and clasped his fists and said, "Report to General, the Jiaozhou army has not moved, but another army has crossed the Xiang River and headed north."

Xu Sheng was stunned and asked quickly: "How many troops are there crossing the river?"

"About 10,000 people, Zhang Fei is the general."

Xu Sheng's thoughts changed rapidly. He suddenly realized that this must be the one who was going to seize Changsha County. He was shocked and sweated. There were only one thousand defenders on the side of Buzhi, and his troops were empty. If the Jiaozhou army killed him, Changsha County would undoubtedly be in trouble. What should he do now? Should he withdraw to Changsha County?

Xu Sheng thought for a moment that he could not withdraw his troops now. Once he withdrew from Changsha County, the Jiaozhou Army would be defeated in a row. Now his plan is only a fight. Now the opponent has 10,000 people. He fought against 20,000 people with 5,000 troops to fight to the death, and perhaps there is still hope of victory.

He turned his mind and turned around and shouted, "Only by fighting to the death can one live, brothers, come with me to fight the enemy."

The soldiers shouted and followed Xu Sheng to the Jiaozhou Army garrison more than ten miles away.

Shortly after they set out, they had already reported the news to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Guan Yu: "As I expected, the Jiangdong Army could no longer hold back and no longer had the determination to fight back. How long can they persevere?"

In the war to unify Jiaozhou with Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu was convinced by Zhuge Liang's talent. He also smiled and said, "Leave this battle to the younger generations."

"That's what I mean."

Zhuge Liang came to Guan Xing and Zhang Bao and explained to them carefully. The two understood it and clasped their fists together and said, "The last general obeyed the order."

The two of them each led an army to leave the main force. At this time, Zhuge Liang smiled at Guan Yu and said, "Please please general Guan command the army to retreat."

This is Zhuge Liang's cleverness. Although Liu Bei handed over the power of commanding the army to him, Zhuge Liang knew that he could not monopolize the power and appropriately respect Guan Yu and Zhang Fei was conducive to balancing the interests of all parties, so he would appropriately delegate certain power to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Guan Yu happily accepted Zhuge Liang's power and ordered the army to retreat south. At this time, Xu Sheng's army had already killed ten miles away. Xu Sheng also had to scout news that the Jiaozhou army had retreated in full swing. Xu Sheng also realized that this was the Jiaozhou army deliberately avoiding war, with the purpose of buying time for the army attacking Changsha. He was even more anxious and ordered the soldiers to speed up the marching and must catch up with the enemy.

The Jiangdong Army chased after a quick search. This area was where the two rivers converged, with dense water networks and numerous rivers. In the distance were large areas of farmland and woods. Several low hills were scattered on the plains, and a muddy official road stretched to the south.

At this time, the Jiangdong Army had chased for more than ten miles, only five miles away from the Jiaozhou Army retreating south. Xu Sheng became even more anxious and shouted loudly to speed up the soldiers. But when they were about to pass through a hill, suddenly there was a loud drum sound on both sides of the hill, one left and one right, one army was killed out, one general Guan Xing led a thousand men on the left, and the general Zhang Bao led a thousand men on the right, and they also led a thousand men. They came fiercely and instantly cut off the Jiangdong Army, which stretched out in Dali.

The Jiangdong Army suddenly had a chaos. Xu Sheng secretly called something wrong and repeatedly ordered the army to gather quickly, but their army had been cut into two sections and could not take care of the tail. During the Jiaozhou Army's assault, the formation was completely out of control. At this time, a personal soldier pointed to the front and shouted: "General Xu, the main force of the enemy is back."

Xu Sheng turned his head and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He saw the flags in front of him. The enemy troops they were pursuing were killed again. The dark army was boundless. For the general, it was Guan Yu. Deputy General Lu Dai shouted anxiously: "General, retreat quickly and not withdraw our entire army will be destroyed."

Xu Sheng sighed and ordered loudly: "The whole army follows me to retreat."

It was retreating, but actually escaping. Xu Sheng waved his sword to kill the enemy. Lu Dai followed closely behind and rushed desperately. At this time, Zhang Bao shouted loudly and drove his horse to kill. His horse was fast and his spear flew away. Lu Dai couldn't dodge and was picked down by the horse, and stabbed to death on the ground with another spear.

At this time, Xu Sheng had already killed a bloody man and fled westward. Thousands of soldiers followed him. Guan Xing led his army to chase and kill the Jiangdong army, killing countless people. Xu Sheng finally fled the battlefield with only Yu.

Not long after, Zhuge Liang sat in the car and was pushed up by the soldiers. Zhang Bao and Guan Xing knelt down and handed over the order. Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and smiled: "The two generals are worthy of being famous generals. They are better than the blue ones. The lord is full of prosperity."

Guan Yu also laughed and felt relieved. At this time, Guan Ping stepped forward to report: "Report to the military advisor, we killed more than 1,500 enemies and captured thousands of enemies. Only a few escaped people, and our army suffered less losses."

Zhuge Liang nodded. This was the result of his pursuit. He annihilated the enemy at the most cost. He said to Sima Mi Zhu: "These prisoners of war will defend first and can exchange interests with Jiangdong in the future."

At this time, Guan Yu was still a little worried about Zhang Fei's side, so he suggested: "Military advisor, the enemy has been defeated, so why don't we go and pick up Yide?"

"Okay" Zhuge Liang agreed this time, but he added: "We must create conditions for General Yide, and no news is allowed to spread to Linxiang County."

Guan Yu immediately ordered: "Send the order, go to Xiangshui to cross the river immediately."

The Jiaozhou Army recruited several ferries on the Hunan River. The 20,000 troops immediately crossed the Hunan River and continued to advance north along the Hunan River. At the same time, Guan Yu sent Guan Ping to cross the Lianshui River north and intercepted Xu Sheng's army from the north to flee back to Changsha.

.........

Zhang Fei's personality is relatively impatient, and some of them seem rude. He likes to fight directly and fight the results in a war. However, Zhang Fei is not stupid. He will also judge the situation. He led 10,000 troops to capture Linxiang County. He knew that the other side had only 1,000 troops and would definitely not fight with him. Instead, he defended the city and waited for reinforcements. They did not carry siege weapons, so it was not easy to capture the city.

At this time, he could only take the city with wisdom. Zhang Fei came up with a plan. He did not directly kill Changsha City, but divided his troops into two groups. He ordered the general Chen Lei to take a detour north quickly, while he led 7,000 people slowly and with great fanfare north.
