Guan Yu was unable to speak at first, but fortunately it was his brother Zhang Fei who asked.
"I dreamed that... the person who was supposed to guard Jingzhou was not Zilong, but Guan!"
"The eldest brother defeated Cao Cao in Hanzhong, and Guan's troops marched out of Jiangling and marched directly to Fancheng, and even achieved great successes one after another."
At this point, Zhang Fei burst into laughter, "Second brother! With your strength, you will be able to defeat the Cao thieves and move their capital to avoid them!"
Guan Yu smiled knowingly, but he didn't say anything about the dream that followed.
Soochow was stabbed in the back, Jingzhou was lost, Maicheng was defeated, and the dream of Taoyuan was over!
It was as if God was playing a joke on the three brothers!
I thought that was the beginning of the renaissance of Han Dynasty, but unexpectedly it was already at its peak!
"Yide, what you and I have to watch out for in this battle is not the enemy, but the vacillating allies."
Guan Yu caressed his beautiful beard and looked eastward with squinted eyes, "Sun Quan, Lu Meng, do you really dare to invade Jingzhou again?"
…
Cao Ren was on pins and needles when he learned that Liu Mang's 80,000 land and sea army was attacking.
The initiative that day was in his own hands, and he could not defeat Liu Mang, let alone defend the city.
"General, why should we be afraid of Liu Changqing?"
"If we are in danger of occupying Fancheng, we will definitely be able to wait for His Majesty's reinforcements."
Yu Jin opened his mouth to encourage Cao Ren. Only when he actually went to Xuchang did he realize the chaos of the current situation.
"Wen Ze, if I stay behind closed doors, I'm afraid I'll be laughed at by Liu Mang!"
"If we go out of the city to fight, who is Zhao Zilong's opponent?"
"What's more, Zhang Wenyuan and Le Wenqian have returned to Hefei to garrison!"
Cao Ren frowned. If they just defended the city, defeat would be the only thing waiting for them.
The navy and the army attacked together. Cao Ren was not an eight-armed Nezha, so he couldn't resist it!
"General, I am willing to fight Zhao Yun. Even if I die on the battlefield, it can boost the morale of our army!"
Xu Huang bowed his hands in salute. He didn't want to be a coward and be looked down upon by others.
"You're all trapped in the city! Even Xiahou Yuanrang and Xiahou Miaocai have been killed in the battle. Do you still think that Liu Bei can't be manipulated by others like before?"
While everyone was discussing, they heard reports from their scouts that Liu Mang had arrived and called Cao Ren.
"General, why don't you go out and take a look?"
Seeing that Cao Ren was about to be trapped again, Xu Huang couldn't believe that the heavenly general who had defeated the Yellow Turban, defeated Dong Zhuo, and fought Lu Bu had become so cautious now.
"That's alright... you will go to battle with me."
Cao Ren was filled with emotions. They used to be very high-spirited, and the Cao clan was even more invincible.
But what about now?
Cao Hong died in the Baihe fire, Xiahou Yuan was beheaded at Dingjun Mountain, and Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren died in Jiangling!
Cao Ren felt terrible when he saw with his own eyes that his old brothers who had been through life and death were moving away from him one by one.
Especially after Cao Cao passed away, Cao Ren only lamented that he seemed to be the only one left around him!
Looking back, I saw Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu standing next to me. They had not yet grown up and still had a long way to go.
"The Wei Dynasty has just been established. No matter what Zihuan's purpose is, this is also the foundation of Mengde."
"I will protect Wei for Mengde!"
Cao Ren walked towards the city tower with his head held high, and once again saw the enemy he regarded as a nightmare!
"Liu Changqing! If you have the ability, attack the city directly!"
"What do you have to talk to me about?"
Cao Ren glared at Liu Mang, but the latter yawned profusely and seemed not to take him seriously.
"Cao Zixiao, your name contains Renxiao, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with these two words!"
"Your good nephew Cao Pi is really a big boy when he lets Cao Cao bear the infamy for him!"
"Now the people of the Central Plains are criticizing Cao Cao for usurping the Han Dynasty, not Cao Pi!"
"Do you know what it means that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked? Your Cao family is just the opposite!"
Cao Ren was furious when he heard this, but the fact was that Cao Pi's saucy operation completely made his own father take the blame for him.
"Poor Cao Cao, a traitor in troubled times, ended up like this!"
"As a brother, you don't even dare to do something for your brother?"
"You can also stop our army from taking over Xiangyang?"
Cao Ren was furious when he heard this and immediately ordered his men to fire arrows!
Gan Ning and Zhao Yun stood beside Liu Mang and blocked the arrows, leaving Liu Mang unharmed.
Compared with Cao Ren who did not talk about martial arts and was angry and frustrated, Liu Mang jumped on his horse and whipped his whip in high spirits.
"Liu Mang, you kid, violated our Jingzhou! I will make you return without success!"
"Cao Ren is a thief. Jingzhou was entrusted to me by my uncle Liu Jingsheng. Why did he invade?"
Liu Mang then bent his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at Cao Ren on the tower, "You are so shameless in taking plunder, take my arrow!"
The arrow in Liu Mang's hand was like a comet striking the moon. If Xu Huang hadn't used his iron shield to block it, Cao Ren would have died on the spot!
"Let's go! Have fun with you tomorrow!"
Liu Mang's show of force caused Cao Ren to lose face.
"Gongming, why are you standing in front of me? Liu Mang has already left!"
"General Zixiao, my arm is numb..."
Xu Huang was secretly shocked. During this year in Jingzhou, Liu Mang's martial arts improved again!
The next day, Liu Mang came to call for battle as scheduled, but unfortunately Cao Ren believed that the best way to attack was to defend and could not retreat.
"Cao Ren is a filial son. He needs to be beaten since he was a child! The left cheek needs to be slapped, and the right cheek needs to be kicked! Donkeys will kick you when you see them, and pigs will step on you when they see you!"
"Cao Zixiao! Grandpa, I will teach you how to practice swordsmanship. If you practice swordsmanship, if you don't practice swordsmanship, you will become a despicable person! If you don't practice the gold sword, you will practice the silver sword!"
"You shouldn't give me the Sword God. If you don't give me the Sword God, you won't be a swordsman unless you are shameless and crying!"
Cao Ren only felt a headache. Even though he was hiding in the city and couldn't get out, his ears were still uneasy!
However, Liu Mang's group of people never cursed in the same way. Every sentence was a new version of the ship that Cao Ren had never experienced before.
The Wei army also tried to exchange insults on the tower, but it was obvious that they were no match for the Han army.
"Cao Zixiao? Do you want to be my good grandson? Can't you fight back when I'm beaten? Can't you retaliate when I'm scolded?"
Liu Mang added insult to injury, which made Cao Ren even more angry. He immediately ordered Xu Huang and Yu Jin to fire arrows to retreat the enemy.
It's a pity that the Han army was well prepared. Not only did they put up their shields to block the arrows, they also didn't forget to collectively raise their middle fingers to despise Cao's army!
Fortunately, when Cao Ren had a headache, Cao Pi arrived with reinforcements!
Zhang Liao, Yue Jin, Li Dian, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and others all showed up.
There was also Xu Chu guarding him, and Sima Yi and Jiang Ji assisting him.
"Uncle Zixiao, how is the battle going?"
Cao Pi looked at Cao Ren, who blushed.
"Fortunately, the general has fulfilled his mission and has received reinforcements from His Majesty."
"The general thought that we should hold on to the city and not leave in order to weaken the enemy's spirit!"
"We have the advantage of the city, and we will definitely be able to make Liu Mang's son return without success!"
After hearing what Cao Ren said, Cao Pi just smiled jokingly.
"Uncle Zixiao, I heard that when you attacked Jiangling that day, Liu Mang used his grandfather's soul to block the catapult attack?"
"I think Liu Mang is just a delaying tactic. He must have ordered the craftsmen to build a catapult!"
"In this battle, I want to see if Liu Mang dares to attack the city!"
Cao Pi turned his eyes and looked at the people around him, "Shan Yang Gong, am I right?"
