Yu Jin surrendered, Pound died, and all seven armies were wiped out, taking as many as 30,000 prisoners.
The news spread quickly, triggering a series of changes.
Hu Xiu, the governor of Jingzhou, and Fu Fang, the governor of Nanxiang, both appointed by Cao Cao, surrendered.
It wasn't Mr. Guan Er who took the fleet to shoot them, it was them who took the initiative to vote after hearing the battle report...
According to Boss Cao's style, the family members of these two people are probably in Yecheng.
But at this time, they no longer care about so many...
Yecheng, Cao Cao's base camp, Zhong Yao's subordinates Xi Cao and Wei Xi secretly contacted Changle Wei Wei Chen Yi to prepare to launch a rebellion!
But when the matter came to an end, Chen Yi pulled the trigger. Dominated by fear, he chose to inform Cao Pi when the matter came to an end.
Cao Pi, who stayed behind in Yecheng, immediately launched an iron-fisted suppression, killed Wei Xi, and purged his party members. Countless officials were implicated in this purge.
At the same time, from the south of Xudu, people who had been overly oppressed by the Cao Wei regime continued to revolt.
Liang Jia and Lu Hun's bandits attacked the county town one after another, killed the county magistrate, received Guan Yu's seal, and actively cooperated with Guan Yu's Northern Expedition.
Yu, powerful in China!
With the power of one state, Guan Yu cooperated with Lao Liu's victory in Hanzhong, and actually produced a kind of effect like Cao Wei's "eating jujube pills".
Cao Cao, who was sixty-five years old at the time, endured a headache and read the information from various places that came like a snowflake.
Of course, there is no good news.
"Huh!" Cao Cao threw the letter on the table and the cloth was scattered on the floor.
The Northern Wei Dynasty had about 200,000 troops at this time.
So far, not counting those in Hanzhong that were defeated by Lao Liu, a quarter of those in Hanzhong have been lost to Guan Yu alone...
"Yu Jin, I ask myself, I'm not as kind to you as I am, but why am I not as good as Pang De!"
After saying this, I couldn't bear the sadness and even shed tears.
All the ministers were as silent as cicadas.
"Alas -" After a long sigh, Cao Cao added: "Pang De sacrificed his life for the country, and he is his husband. Send an order to make his two sons a marquis."
"yes."
"Where is Xu Huang?"
"The general is here!"
"I order you to quickly lead our troops and go to Fancheng for rescue!"
"yes!"
Despite his old age and chronic illness, Cao Cao still started to make follow-up responses in an orderly manner after controlling his emotions.
"The emperor is in Xuchang. The bandits are now strong and they are in danger of a war. I want to move the capital to the north of Honghe (today's Yellow River) for the emperor. What do you think?"
After the discussion, the ministers all agreed, but at this time, one person stood up.
This man was in his forties and looked like a wolf. He was the Sima of Cao Cao's army at that time, and his conversation and temperament were extraordinary.
It is the so-called second eldest among Sima Bada, Zhongda and Sima Yi.
"Your Majesty, I think it is absolutely impossible to move the capital at this time."
"Huh?" Cao Cao frowned and looked at the subordinate he had forcibly recruited, "Why not?"
Sima Yi said loudly: "Yu Jin and others were submerged by the flood. They could not be defeated without fighting. It was not because our soldiers were weaker than Guan Yu's Jingzhou army. If we move the capital at this time, wouldn't we be showing weakness to the enemy? People's minds will change then, and Yu The overall situation is even worse."
Cao Cao didn't want to move the capital, but the problem was that Fancheng was already an isolated city soaked in water, and Guan Yu would capture it sooner or later.
Even Yu Jin's 30,000 men were gone, Xu Huang...actually, Cao Cao didn't really expect him to be able to break the siege of Fancheng at this time.
But Cao Cao still planned to listen to what he said before drawing any conclusions.
"Does Zhongda have any good ideas to help me break the siege of Fancheng?"
Sima Yi smiled and said: "The Sun and Liu families are distantly related to each other, and they are very different from each other. Now that Guan Yu is powerful, Sun Quan must be uneasy. He has been unable to attack Hefei for a long time, and he has been coveting Jingzhou for a long time.
"Why don't your Majesty write a letter to express your goodwill to Sun Quan, grant him a high official title, and order him to send troops to capture Jingzhou... By then, won't the siege of Fancheng be relieved?"
Cao Cao's frown gradually relaxed, he nodded slowly and said: "What Zhongda said makes sense, bring me the pen and ink!"
The long-term attack on Hefei mentioned by Sima Yi naturally includes the latest record of defeat.
Sun Quan sent troops north to attack Hefei, but was defeated again.
But his determination for the Northern Expedition was not firm to begin with. He was like that, and his generals and soldiers were even more unwilling to fight with their lives.
He pretended to be in front of Hefei, but after a short beating, he broke down and sold out.
After leaving behind a small number of corpses and helping Zhang Liao gain some military achievements, the army quickly withdrew.
This failure was so natural that it did not attract attention from all parties.
Even Sun Quan himself was not surprised.
"As long as Zhang Liao is still there, Hefei will definitely be undefeatable. We can only look for opportunities to the west to capture Jingzhou."
This idea sprouted in Wu Laoer's mind, and naturally someone helped him water it.
He received a message from Lu Meng.
General, please stop attacking Hefei. We should think of ways to seize the opportunity to capture Jingzhou and be realistic.
Although Guan Yu's army is besieging Fancheng, there are still too many soldiers in Jiangling. You might as well say that I, Lu Meng, are seriously ill and transfer me back. By then Guan Yu will definitely relax his vigilance and mobilize his troops to attack Xiangfan with all his strength.
We will send troops by then to ensure nothing goes wrong!
After Sun Quan discussed what Lu Meng's letter said with a group of advisers, there was no further controversy this time.
For Zhang Zhao, the Northern Expedition to attack Wei was absolutely against the will of heaven. As long as you don't do the Northern Expedition, you can do whatever you want.
Zhuge Jin couldn't say more. His younger brother was still at Lao Liu's house. Even if Sun Quan didn't doubt him if he said too much, it would be difficult to prevent others from talking about it.
In this way, the strategic direction of stabbing Guan Yu in the back was unanimously approved, and it was finally finalized.
…
After the news of the flooding of the Seventh Army reached Yizhou, it naturally triggered a new round of carnival for the Liu Group.
This year is a good day, and everything you dream of can come true.
Beat the gongs and drums, and everyone will be happy...
After the great victory in the Battle of Hanzhong, Guan Yu once again performed extraordinary feats and shocked the world with the power of a single state.
My second brother is invincible in the world!
The excited Lao Liu has even begun to think about next year's Great Northern Expedition plan in his mind.
"Father."
At this time, prices in Yizhou had stabilized, and people's living standards were much higher than before.
Bashu has a reputation as a land of abundance. As long as he is given a year to recuperate, he can raise his troops for the Northern Expedition again.
When the time comes, I and my second brother will take turns to attack. You will hit Cao Cao on the right cheek, and I will hit Cao Cao on the other cheek. I will defeat them all in one fell swoop!
"Father?"
Cao Cao, my three brothers are going to clear out the bandits for the imperial court this time. Just wait until you lead and kill them!
"Old man!"
"Huh?" Liu Chan's call finally brought Old Liu back to his senses from the bright future, "What did you say?"
Liu Chan looked at Lao Liu's appearance at this time, and felt sad in his heart when he thought of the original ending in history.
This old man is no longer young. He has a lot of white hair and wrinkles, and he is no longer as agile as before when he teaches his swordsmanship.
He secretly said in his heart: "Don't worry, old man, I will never let history repeat itself this time!"
"I said, father, why don't you write a letter and send it to your second uncle, asking him to take the 30,000 prisoners from the Northern Wei Dynasty and send them to Yizhou in batches."
"Huh?" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows, not knowing what his son meant.
