In June of the 24th year of Jian'an, news came that Liu Bei had captured Hanzhong. Sun Quan believed that Cao Cao's morale would inevitably be greatly lost, so he gathered troops and prepared to attack Hefei again.

After Cao Cao received the news, he immediately mobilized a large army to Huainan to defend the attack of Eastern Wu, which also made the line of Fancheng in Xiangyang empty. Guan Yu thought this was a good opportunity, so he left Mi Fang, the prefect of Nanjun, to guard Jiangling, and General Fu Shiren, to guard the police, and to lead his troops to attack Xiangyang.

Xiangyang's garrison Cao Ren could not resist Guan Yu, and several generals were defeated in a few days. Xiangyang was even captured by Guan Yu. Cao Ren had no choice but to retreat to Xiangcheng.

At this moment, news came from Jiangdong that Lu Meng's old illness relapsed and went to Jianye for treatment. After Guan Yu received this news, he believed that the Eastern Wu side was not in danger for the time being, so he transferred the army to the front line and attacked Cao Cao with all his strength.

At the same time, Cao Cao ordered Yu Jin to be the main general and Pang De to be the deputy general, and led reinforcements to support Xiangcheng.

When Chengdu received the news that Guan Yu defeated Cao Cao, more than a month had passed. The whole Chengdu was filled with joy. You should know that Jingzhou has been defensive in recent years. Faced with the double pressure of Eastern Wu and Cao Cao, Guan Yu's troops were already very reluctant to defend, let alone attack.

But unexpectedly, Guan Yu has captured Xiangyang now! In everyone's opinion, even a famous general like Guan Yu can forcibly capture Xiangyang under such circumstances, it is a very remarkable thing.

However, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's expressions were not as excited as everyone else.

General Left Grand Sima's Mansion.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong came together for a rare moment.

"Shi Yuan, I always thought this matter was a bit strange, but I couldn't think of it. So I came here! A few days ago, Yun Chang refused Sun Quan's proposal, and I once suggested that the lord exchange Yun Chang back! But at that time, Yun Chang had already sent troops, and changing generals at the last minute was a taboo for military strategists!" Zhuge Liang said and looked at Pang Tong, and then said, "Shi Yuan, Yun Chang is too arrogant and will inevitably underestimate the enemy. I am really worried about Jingzhou!"

Pang Tong and Guan Yu have no big friendship. Speaking of which, they are both people who are above the top. How could they get together with two people like this? However, Pang Tong suffered in the battle of Luofengpo, and now his arrogance has been much more restrained.

Pang Tong nodded gently: "Kong Ming, are you worried about Jiangdong?"

"Shi Yuan, do you also think that Jiangdong is a major problem in Jingzhou?"

"Yes, everyone can defend Jingzhou by the lord. Even if the third general takes action, he can protect Jiangling Nanjun. But it is difficult for the only Marquis of Shouting to defend Jingzhou! General Guan is so arrogant!" Pang Tong paused and looked at Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, you were wrong at that time! If it were me at that time, he would definitely be the third general or General Zhao or stay in Jingzhou!"

The General Zhao that Pang Tong mentioned was Zhao Yun. Zhuge Liang supported Bashu, brought Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, and left Guan Yu in Jingzhou. For this reason, Zhuge Liang ridiculed Pang Tong a lot. In Pang Tong's view, Zhao Yun was steady in doing things. If he wanted to defend Jingzhou, he could keep Zhao Yun safe. In recent years, Zhang Fei suddenly became aware of his mind and learned to use strategies. From releasing Yan Yan to taking advantage of his wisdom, Zhang Fei became more and more general, and his work became more and more steady in doing things. If he kept Zhang Fei in Jingzhou, he would even be better than Zhao Yun.

"Report!" At this moment, the school came in from outside: "Report two military advisors, and the Xiangyang victory!"

"What, Xiangyang Victory?" Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong exclaimed at the same time.

"Just just now, General Guan Xing came back from Jingzhou and reported the great victory in Xiangyang. General Guan flooded the seven armies, captured Yu Jin, and killed the Cao army general Pang De. Now the army has rushed to Fancheng!"

"Killing towards Fancheng? Where did he come from so many soldiers? All the soldiers were taken away by him. What should I do in Jingzhou?" Pang Tong exclaimed, then pulled Zhuge Liang away, and said uncontrollably: "Kongming, go, go find your lord!"

In the hall, when Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang came to the door, Guan Xing was talking about the deeds of Guan Yu flooding the seven armies.

"Xing'er, my second brother's army attacks Fancheng, how can I defend this Jingzhou?" Liu Bei was also a warlord at least, so he still had this strategic vision.

"Uncle, don't worry, Lu Meng has returned to Jianye to recuperate, and Lu Xun, the person in charge of Lukou, is just a scholar! Besides, his father has already set up many tiles on the riverside, be careful and be sure to be foolproof! Moreover, the police and Jiangling city are solid, and even if Jiangdong attacks, it will be difficult to break through for a while!" Guan Xing said.

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction. At this time, Zhuge Liang patted Pang Tong's shoulder in front of the door: "The second general is a famous general of the world, so he will naturally be more careful about Jiangdong. Shi Yuan, I think we are too careful!"

...

In the room, Adou gently put down the ancient bamboo slips in his hand and sighed helplessly.

What should have happened still happened. Guan Yu flooded the Seven Armies and reached the last peak of his life, and then there was a failure, but this failure was a fatal failure.

In the last life, Adou worshipped Guan Erge, who had been worshipping for more than 20 years. Wudang Mountain believed in Taoism, and Guan Yu was one of the four Taoist guardians. He was called Guan Sheng Emperor. Since the Song Dynasty, Guan Yu was worshipped in all Taoist places, and Wudang was naturally no exception. Especially during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the number of Guan Emperor Temples was even higher than that of Confucius Temple, and Guan Erge became omnipotent. From seeking children to seeking wealth, everyone worshiped Guan Erge!

Now this living second brother Guan is right in front of him and is about to be killed. If Adou doesn't save him, the ancestor might come down to chop him down.

But how can I save it!

Adou had long wanted to tell Liu Bei that after Guan Yu flooded the seven armies, he would lose Jingzhou, then lose to Maicheng, and finally be killed by Sun Quan. But he was not a god, so he told Liu Bei that he would believe it? Besides, he just went to find Liu Bei, and it would be bad if he was mistaken for disturbing the morale of the army.

Adou also tried to remind Pang Tong indirectly. However, although Pang Tong was resourceful, he did not have the ability to predict the future. Adou could see that Pang Tong was already alert to this matter, but he did not really take it in his heart. After all, everything in front of him is developing in a direction that is beneficial to Guan Yu, and Guan Yu has built a lot of piers by the river. Even for those who are cautious like Zhuge Liang, this kind of defense can be considered very close.

Indeed, in the present opinion, Jiangling and the police have a good defense. The walls of the two cities are solid, and even if Jiangdong attacks, they will not be able to capture them in a short time. As long as you persist for a few days, when Guan Yu returns to the army or the army in Shu comes, it will be enough to resist Sun Quan.

Unfortunately, what I didn’t expect was that at the beginning of the war, the police and Jiangling surrendered.
