Chapter 54: Aid to Maicheng
Liao Hua started from Guan Yu's retreat, and continued until he was defeated and left Maicheng, telling everyone about the incident.
Meng Da did not wrinkle after hearing this: "General Liao Hua, did you not encounter many obstacles when you broke through the siege?"
Liao Hua nodded: "This general is right. After breaking through, I have been following Jingshan Mountain and have never been intercepted by Jiangdong's troops."
Meng Da nodded and turned around and said to Liu Feng and Adou, "Two young men, since there is no Jiangdong army intercepting this way, why not set off immediately and how about marching according to the road that General Liao Hua came?"
"Brother Ziqing said it well. I need to trouble General Liao to lead the way in this matter!" Liu Feng said.
"Let's wait!" At this time, Adou stopped several people.
"A Dou, what's wrong?" Liu Feng asked.
"Brother, Liao Hua was not intercepted when he came, which does not mean that Lu Meng would not come when we went!"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"The troops divided into two groups, one by one, and the other is the south of Jingshan, following the path that Liao Hua came from; the other is the north of Jingshan! Go to the bank of Xiangjiang River to support Maicheng!"
"What? Walk to the north of Jingshan?" Everyone was shocked.
"Adou, what do you want to do? You must pass Xiangyang when you walk north of Jingshan. Now Xiangyang has been taken back by Cao Cao. I heard that the generals under Cao Cao are Xu Huang and Xiahou Shang who guard Xiangyang! If you walk north of Jingshan, you will inevitably be blocked by Xu Huang. Moreover, we have few soldiers at first, so it is not advisable to divide the troops at this time!" Liu Feng said.
At this time, Liao Hua also guessed the identity of the boy in front of him. Unexpectedly, the child he met when he robbed the Tao had grown into a boy now!
After hearing Liu Feng's words, Adou smiled confidently: "I have a plan that makes Cao Cao not come to intercept. Not only will Cao Cao not come to intercept, but he may also send a guide to help us!"
"What's the plan?" everyone asked in unison.
"I still need to bother Brother!" Adou smiled strangely.
...
"Adou, is your plan feasible? Is it too dangerous?" After hearing Adou's plan, Liu Feng felt it made sense, but he had no confidence in his heart.
"Brother, don't worry, I'm very sure, you go and write a letter!" After saying that, Adou looked back at Meng Da and said sternly: "Meng Da obeys the order!"
Meng Da was stunned and said subconsciously: "The last one is here!" Then Meng Da came to realize that the biggest official position here seemed to be himself. In theory, he should be himself who gave the order!
"I ordered you to bring 10,000 troops to the south of Jingshan! You must be careful on the road of the Eastern Wu scouts to make meals with two stoves every day. After arriving at Jingshan, you should not be able to march more than thirty miles a day. Once you encounter the Eastern Wu army blocking it, be sure to hold the Eastern Wu army. If the situation is not good, you can do it cheaply!" said Adou.
"The last general order!" Meng Da replied reflexively. At this time, Meng Da suddenly felt that there was a temperament in A Dou, a temperament that all the world's affairs were mastered in his palm. He had also experienced this temperament in Zhuge Liang! I don't know what happened, but this feeling made Meng Da feel a little bit of obedience to this temperament.
Meng Da shook his head, secretly looked at Adou's slightly tender face, and shook his head gently. This was probably an illusion!
...
Lu Meng Camp.
Pan Zhang hurried to Lu Meng's tent.
"Report to the general, Shangyong has indeed come to reinforcements!"
"How many men and who are leading the troops?"
"As the governor expected, the enemy had 20,000 troops, and the troops were led by Meng Da and Liu Feng!"
"It's them!" Lu Meng thought for a moment: "Xu Sheng, Ding Feng obeyed the order!"
"The last one is here!" Xu Sheng and Ding Feng walked out at the same time.
"Let you and two of you lead 50,000 troops and immediately go to stop Meng Da's reinforcements!"
"The last general will take the order!" the two said in unison. Then Xu Sheng looked at Lu Meng and asked, "Governor, Meng Da and Liu Feng have only 20,000 troops, and the Governor also gives us 20,000 troops. Besides, Guan Yu is trapped in Maicheng and may break through at any time. It is not good if the Governor has not enough troops."
"It's okay, Guan Yu is surrounded by less than a thousand people. Even if you take 50,000 troops away, I'm enough to deal with Guan Yu." Lu Meng said, looking at the soldiers under the tent, and then said, "I predict that Guan Yu's soldiers are few. Even if he breaks through, he will not escape. There is a steep road in the north of Maicheng, and Guan Yu will definitely go from here. Zhu Ran, you lead 5,000 elite soldiers and ambush twenty miles north of Maicheng. Once Guan Yu's soldiers arrive, you don't need to stop them and follow them to chase them. Guan Yu's army will definitely not be interested in fighting. Then you can rush Guan Yu to Linju."
After saying that, Lu Meng looked at Pan Zhang again: "Pan Zhang, you lead the elite troops to ambush the remote path of Linju Mountain. When Guan Yu arrives at Linju, you will definitely be exhausted. At that time, you can capture Guan Yu! The other soldiers are preparing to attack Maicheng, only attacking the east, south and west sides, leaving the north gate for Guan Yu to escape!"
"The last general will take the order!" everyone said in unison.
Seeing that all the soldiers were taking the order out, Lu Meng leaned on the table behind him, gasping heavily, and a huge feeling of fatigue enveloped Lu Meng. At this moment, Lu Meng only felt the world spinning and his mind was dizzy.
No, it’s not the time yet. Jingzhou has not been taken down yet, so I must not fall down.
I saw Lu Meng take out a small bottle from his arms and pour the things inside into his mouth. After a while, Lu Meng seemed to feel that it was not so painful, and his face also had a hint of rosy.
Looking at the small bottle in his hand, Lu Meng sighed. The medicine in this bottle was found in Changsha. It is said that it was invented when Zhang Zhongjing was the prefect of Changsha. I didn’t expect it to work! I just heard that this thing cannot be taken often!
Lu Meng took the vial into his arms, and accidentally dropped the label on the medicine, and saw three big words written on it - Wushi San.
...
Mopi, Cao's army camp.
Cao Ren came to the tent and said, "Brother, Xu Gongming from Xiangyang has heard news that Guan Yu is defeated!"
All the people in this Cao camp were called Cao Cao, the King of Wei, and even Xiahou Dun was no exception. When Cao Cao just started his army, the Xiahou Dun brothers still called Cao Cao Meng De. The relationship between Cao Cao and them was extremely deep, but as Cao Cao became more and more powerful, Xiahou Dun now also called Cao Cao the King of Wei. Although Cao Cao still relied heavily on an old minister like Xiahou Dun, it felt that the relationship was much more distant.
In the entire Cao army, there were only a few people who were not called Cao Cao's King of Wei. Cao Cao's sons would be called Cao Cao's father, and the rest were the brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong, who were still called Cao Cao's elder brother. This "brother" also highlighted Cao Ren's extraordinary status in Cao Cao's army.
Cao Cao didn't raise his head and pointed directly at the table next to him: "Zi Xiao, sit down and talk slowly!"
Cao Ren sat down and told Cao Cao what he knew. After hearing this, Cao Cao shook his head unfortunately: "Oh, Yun has grown careless!"
"Brother, then what should we do next?"
Before Cao Cao could answer, the school outside walked in with a letter, knelt down and said, "Report to the Prime Minister, there is a person outside who claims to be an envoy from Shangyong to come. I will send a letter from Shangyong Liu Feng!"
