When heroes rise together, even the most farsighted and wise men cannot see through the future of this world. The people were in poverty, the nobles were at a loss, and everyone felt that the war between the nine states seemed to last for hundreds of years, so it was no surprise.
But when the situation in the world gradually became clear, the trend of the war was like pressing the accelerator button. The vast majority of the nobles determined who they were following, and the ordinary people also saw the hope of peace. Although they were still in hardship, they worked hard to achieve one goal, so the weak attacked the strong. Survival of the fittest has reached its extreme.
Cao Cao is unifying the north at an extremely fast speed. And Sun Quan also put down the Jingzhou rebellion in an incredible way.
Jingbei, outside Xiangyang City,
"Lü Meng, what a God-given opportunity! If we can capture Guan Yu this time, you and I will become famous, and we will be promoted to higher ranks. It's a matter of course!"
Pan Zhang, who quietly led his troops to join Lu Meng, said excitedly.
"My lord, did you really ask me to wait for the attack?" Lu Meng was still somewhat doubtful. Although soldiers are not afraid of deceit, Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong after all.
"Oh, let's forget that Lu Su is stupid, why are you, Lu Meng, so stupid? If it wasn't my lord's will, it was such a coincidence that Xiangyang was in civil strife at this time?" Pan Zhang said proudly.
What I have to admit is that the reason Pan Zhang came up with on his own is very convincing.
Yes, there was no chaos in Xiangyang in the morning and chaos in the evening, but it happened when Pan Zhang arrived on Sun Quan's order. If you want to say that this was not Sun Quan's secret hand buried in Xiangyang, who would believe it?
The so-called inside should cooperate with the outside. Now that the people inside have taken action, does it make sense that they, the people outside, don't cooperate?
Pan Zhang had to admire Sun Quan from the bottom of his heart. Who would have thought that Sun Quan would have such a strong back-up force in Xiangyang. Of course, Pan Zhang also had to admire himself, because he was the only one who understood Sun Quan's true intentions.
"Anyway, my words have been brought to you, and the credit has been placed in front of you. Whether you take it or not is your own business. Don't blame me for being a solitary eater in the future."
Having said that, Pan Zhang left without further persuasion.
Lu Meng's eyes flashed. Not to mention what Pan Zhang said was so exciting, this opportunity was rare and it was indeed true.
"The general is outside, and the military orders are not obeyed! It's not that my lord is unfaithful, it's that I, Lu Meng, am greedy for credit!"
After saying that, Lu Meng made up his mind and chased Pan Zhang.
Ahead, Pan Zhang curled his lips and did not look back. He knew that Lu Meng would definitely come.
In fact, if one person could capture Guan Yu, Pan Zhang was not willing to share the credit with Lu Meng. But firstly, Pan Zhang's troops were still a little short, and secondly, Guan Yu's reputation was so great that Pan Zhang, who was gradually cherishing his life, was still a little timid to face it alone. Therefore, Lu Meng was roped in to share the pressure. Lu Meng, who was not afraid of death, was responsible for charging into the battle. He, Pan Zhang, got all the credit for nothing.
At the same time, in central Jingzhou and the Yangtze River Basin,
"My son Sun Quan, you are going back on your word! If there is anything wrong with my second brother, I will definitely fight against him!"
After hearing the news of the incident in Xiangyang, Liu Bei was shocked and angry, and panicked for a moment. Lu Su and Lu Meng seemed to have taken no action, but there was a sudden civil strife in Xiangyang. Even if they said it had nothing to do with Sun Quan, they would not believe it even if they killed Liu Bei. Moreover, it is said that Guan Yu was injured during the civil strife! No matter from the situation or from the perspective of brotherhood, Liu Bei can no longer sit still at this time. He wanted to cross the river and rescue Guan Yu.
"My lord, if we forcefully cross the river like this, once the Jiangdong navy attacks, the consequences will be disastrous!" a counselor advised Liu Bei.
Before Liu Bei could say anything, the irritable Zhang Fei grabbed the man by the neck and lifted him up, his eyes widened and he roared,
"You are alarmist, delaying military flights, do you want my second brother to die? I think you are the traitor in Jiangdong!"
Liu Bei quickly stopped Zhang Fei. The counselor also had good intentions. Before the battle, he couldn't cause chaos by himself. However, although Liu Bei was not as impulsive as Zhang Fei, he had obviously made a decision in his heart. After so many years of ups and downs, failure after failure, it was all thanks to the support between brothers that I was able to get to where I am today.
Liu Bei firmly believed that as long as people are still there, no matter how many times they are defeated, they can get back up. Therefore, rather than saying that he has lost his mind, it is better to say that this is Liu Bei's behavior and the foundation of his life.
Of course, Liu Bei was not completely without judgment.
"Although we secretly transported troops for so many days, we were bound to be unable to hide them from Jiangdong's informants. Jiangdong did not take any measures, and it was probably because of his own inability. In addition, at this time, Jiangdong's main forces were all in Jingbei, but Sun Quan was alone in Jingnan. In order to protect Sun Quan’s safety, Jiangdong should also let us cross the river and go north. Again, who are the people left on the river in Jiangdong at this moment? Do they have the guts to stop Liu Bei’s army?"
Liu Bei made the final decision and could not say any more.
"The whole army crosses the river!"
On the other side, on the river,
Ma Chao, who was planning how to launch an attack on Liu Bei's army, suddenly received the news.
"Report——Liu Bei suddenly raised his troops to cross the river!"
"What?!" Ma Chao was startled and reacted subconsciously, "Where did they get the boat from?"
Although Ma Chao also thought that Liu Bei might have a backup plan, the waters of the Yangtze River have always been under the control of Jiangdong Army. Where could the ship be hidden?
"They are all small boats and fishing boats." The visitor reported back.
A big boat may not be able to hide, but a small boat can be towed to the shore and hidden. If there really was no way to cross the river, why would Liu Bei stay by the river?
Upon hearing this, Ma Chao's eyes lit up,
"Doesn't that mean Liu Bei's army has no protection?"
"General, could this be a scam?" the general below couldn't help but ask.
"Why are there so many scams? There is chaos in Xiangyang, and Liu Bei has made it clear that he is desperate. Don't miss this opportunity, follow me and send troops immediately!"
"Army attack!"
"Haha, it's time for me, Ma Chao, to shock the world!"
at the same time,
Southeast of Jingzhou, among the dense forests,
"Be careful and don't leave any traces."
Zhou Taizheng sneaks in secretly through unknown routes.
??????
The southernmost part of Jingzhou, the forest,
Sun Quan fought one against two, fighting against the world's best master Tong Yuan and Cihang Jingzhai's charming son Diao Chan. It can be said that he was unparalleled in his bravery. No matter what the result is, just talking about this record can shock all the warriors in the world.
Of course, this kind of thing sounds heroic, but it is actually tragic. Only Sun Quan himself knows the pain.
In fact, if we talk about fighting alone, even if it is one against two, Sun Quan has nothing to be afraid of. What's more, Tong Yuan has been injured, and with his age, his combat power will only gradually decline as time goes by.
But this time, Sun Quan didn't just fight. While he couldn't lose, he also had to find a way to hold these two people down, which greatly increased the difficulty.
Fortunately, Sun Quan is not an honest man. From a certain perspective, he can be called a scheming man. He deliberately sold a flaw to Diao Chan so that Diao Chan could injure him. After all, Diao Chan was soft-hearted and fought two against one, which was morally unacceptable. Since then, she has never been cruel to Sun Quan again. Even though Sun Quan's body is covered in blood and flesh now, most of it is actually just superficial injuries.
But even so, Sun Quan has been able to persist until now at a very high price. All the cards that can be used for defense, such as dodge and invulnerability, have been used up. Not to mention, the life-saving peach has also been used up. After all, although the injury is not serious, the blood is still flowing.
Thinking that the time delay was almost over, Sun Quan immediately jumped out of the attack circle and deliberately shouted,
"If we don't fight, we won't fight. If we continue to fight, if not Guan Yu, I'm afraid Liu Bei will die too."
