As the saying goes, good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.
The news of the destruction of Xiangyang City had just come, but another piece of bad news hit Liu Xiu. Of course, it not only attacked Liu Xiu's side, but also attacked Zhu Yuanzhang and Yang Su.
Yue Fei was about to retreat from Jiangxia to Xiangyang. And Yue Fei's retreat means that Xiang Yu has arrived.
Yes, Xiang Yu came and stormed Xiakou for five days, leaving tens of thousands of corpses behind, and broke into Xiakou in one fell swoop. As a result, the people of Xiakou suffered another tragedy.
Tens of thousands of corpses were left behind in Xiakou, and coupled with the losses along the way, Xiang Yu had already lost a total of 20,000 troops at this time.
At this time, people like Liu Xiu and Zhu Yuanzhang could tell at a glance what Yue Fei's intentions were when he retreated. This is about sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but Liu Xiu, Zhu Yuanzhang and others are helpless about this. Who knows why Xiang Yu went crazy and chased Liu Xiu to fight alone!
However, despite the trouble in Jiangxia, Liu Xiu could only order Wu Han, who came to plead guilty, to return to Nanjun again. Liu Xiu only had this little territory left in his hands, and he really couldn't afford to lose any more.
Of course, Wu Han suffered a huge defeat and even lost Xiangyang, so it was naturally impossible for him to continue to be the leader. Wang Liao took over as the leader, and Wu Han could only be temporarily demoted to serve as Wang Liao's deputy.
After Xiakou captured Xiang Yu, he was not in a hurry to make the next move. Instead, he quietly waited for Liu Xiu's arrival.
Liu Xiu is Xiang Yu's great enemy, and Yue Fei is also Xiang Yu's great enemy. However, no matter how arrogant Xiang Yu is, he doesn't think that he really has the ability to defeat these two people at the same time. Arrogance is arrogance, but it does not mean being brainless.
Li Cunxiao and Huang Tianhua on Yue Fei's side, Zhuge Kunlong, Deng Xia, and even Lu Er on Liu Xiu's coalition. Xiang Yu has all fought against these people, so he naturally knows the opponent's strength level.
Therefore, after capturing Xiakou, Xiang Yu was not in a hurry to take the next step.
At this time, Yue Fei temporarily left Jiangxia and went to Xiangyang in order to make room for the two groups of Liu Xiu and Xiang Yu. With him around, the three parties would directly restrain each other, and it would not necessarily be easy to fight in the end.
Now that he has temporarily left Jiangxia, his intention to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers is clearly shown and not concealed at all. Even if Liu Xiu and Xiang Yu can hold back for a while, they cannot hold back for a while. This conflict It will happen sooner or later.
At this moment, in the coalition camp, compared to the depressing atmosphere at Liu Xiu's place, Zhu Yuanzhang's place seemed much more normal. As Xiang Yu entered Xiakou, the defeated Fu Youde also came to Zhu Yuanzhang's camp.
Not only Fu Youde arrived, but also Ao Moang, who had fought bravely before. However, Zhu Tianpeng, Feng Qianlang, Yang Kan and other generals did not come with Fu Youde. It is impossible to say that they have other tasks next!
Ao Moang's strength is not simple. Even Zhu Tianpeng, who was also implanted as one of the protagonists of Journey to the West under Zhu Yuanzhang, is not his opponent.
Ao Mo'ang's cousin Xiao Long captured Tang Monk in the Blackwater River and invited his uncle, the Dragon King of the West Sea, to eat Tang Monk's meat. After learning about it, the Dragon King of the West Sea immediately sent Mo Ang to lead his troops to capture the dragon. The cousins fought in the Black Water River. In a battle, how can the little dragon resist the superb martial arts of his cousin Moang. In three or five rounds, Moang captured the dragon and brought him to justice.
The strength of the dragon dragon is roughly at the same level as that of the sand scroll curtain, and it is obviously at the weaker level among the eighty-one demons.
Zhu Tianpeng and Shajuanlian had fought several times in Liusha River, but they were always tied. It can be seen that the gap between the two is indeed very small.
But Taolong, who was roughly on the same level as Zhu Tianpeng and Shajuanlian, was won by Ao Moang in three or five rounds. This alone is enough to illustrate Ao Moang's strength.
Of course, Zhu Tianpeng's strength is more subtle. Judging from Liushahe alone, his strength level is indeed comparable to that of Sand Roller Curtain, but sometimes it is more than just that.
Outside Yunzhan Cave, Zhu Tianpeng, who was still a pig mane at the time, could fight Sun Wukong all night.
There was also Zhu Tianpeng's battle against King Silver Horn. King Silver Horn had fought Sun Wukong before, and the outcome was indistinguishable in thirty rounds. But this time Zhu Tianpeng met him on a narrow road, and they actually fought for 20 rounds, and not only did he not lose. , but suppressed the Silver Horn King with his momentum, so that the latter had to call his minions to join the battle, and then captured Zhu Bajie.
However, Shajuanlian could only fight Yinjiao for eight or nine rounds before being captured by him. It can be seen that compared to the sand curtain, Zhu Tianpeng's strength is indeed somewhat subtle.
Although Fu Youde lost several battles in a row at the hands of Xiang Yu, Zhu Yuanzhang only reprimanded him symbolically and did not impose heavy penalties. After all, Xiang Yu is indeed not that easy to deal with.
"My lord, now that things have happened, it will be difficult to defeat the Jin army. I'm afraid Jingbei will have to defend it again!"
"Instead of doing this, we might as well ask our two allies to help me with this small favor!" Yao Guangxiao said silently in the big tent.
The failure of the last war was indeed a big blow to Yao Guangxiao, who considered himself resourceful and had a plan to pacify the world.
However, Yao Guangxiao is not a person who will be knocked down by one or two blows. Setbacks will only become nutrients for his growth. After experiencing failure, Yao Guangxiao became more restrained, and his plans became more thorough and detailed.
"The military adviser's intention is to use the power of Yang Su and Liu Xiu to consume the Jin army and Xiang army!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a change of expression.
As Yao Guangxiao said, based on their current strength comparison with the Jin army in northern Jingbei, their chances of winning this battle are indeed slim. Since the defeat in the previous battle, Liu Xiu has now lost Xiangyang. It will be difficult to drive the Jin army out of Jingbei again! It will be difficult to save Jingbei!
What's more, Xiang Yu is now in big trouble!
However, even if Jingbei is really unable to survive in the future, they still have many important things to do. It’s not that we should just give up on Liu Xiu when we see that the odds of winning have dropped again and again!
Liu Xiu still has some power in Jingbei, and there are still a few strong generals in Jingbei. Yang Su also has some power. Next, they continued to defend the remaining cities in Jingbei, which was enough to consume a considerable part of the Jin army's strength.
Moreover, Xiang Yu's opponent has already arrived. It just so happens that he can use the power of the three princes to give him a severe meal. In this way, it can also provide preparations for him to invade Jingnan's remaining land and even Jiaozhou again!
