Guan Yu's camp on the Mianshui front line.
The atmosphere in the camp has been a little bad recently.
Food and fodder from the rear haven't been sent for several days.
In fact, when Liu Feng came, he thought he was here to add icing on the cake.
After all, the Seventh Army had just been flooded and the situation was excellent.
Who would have thought that when he arrived at the front line of Xiangfan, he would be horrified to find that he seemed to be a helper in times of need...
Guan Ping handed a bowl of water to Guan Yu: "Father, drink some water."
Guan Yu: "Well..."
"Uh...you should drink some too."
Liu Feng: "Oh..."
Awkward!
Guan Ping's current feeling is not only embarrassing, but also awkward.
Xu Huang relieved the siege of Fancheng, although the Jingzhou army on the front line of Mian River was unable to fight across the river.
However, the defenders of Xiangyang knew that Guan Yu had suffered a defeat, and their determination to defend became even stronger.
Lu Chang, who originally thought he would die, patrolled the city every day as if he had been given a shot of blood.
The war was going unfavorably, and the supplies and supplies could not keep up. He could not think of a good way to defeat the enemy, and his father was already in a bad mood.
In addition, the relationship between his father and Liu Feng was very bad in the past, and the atmosphere in the camp these days was simply suffocating for Guan Ping.
But they sent reinforcements after all, and the rescue was successful in times of crisis.
My father was not always good at showing off to others, and Liu Feng somehow changed his temper and curbed his bad temper.
But as a result, the atmosphere in the tent developed in an even weirder direction...
"I really want to go out and fight with Cao's army. I would rather go and charge than stay in this camp!"
Guan Ping wanted to cry but had no tears.
"General Guan, there is an envoy from Jiangling outside the tent asking for an audience!" the guard suddenly said.
"Oh? Let him in quickly."
The weird atmosphere was temporarily broken, and Guan Ping finally breathed heavily.
A well-travelled young man came in from outside the tent, clasped his fists and said, "General Guan, I am a member of the pro-army reserve team under the prince's command. We have emergency military intelligence and the general."
"The prince's own army?" Guan Yu's heart suddenly thumped, and he had a bad premonition.
Didn’t the person who delivered the last batch of food and grass say that Adou had gone back?
"Tell me, what's the urgent military situation?" Guan Yu stood up nervously.
Liu Feng, who was on the side, heard the words "Prince's personal army" and unconsciously got up and walked over.
"The prince asked me to report to General Guan that Soochow has betrayed its alliance and launched a sneak attack. Lu Meng has led more than 10,000 troops to Jiangling. Sun Quan, Lu Xun and others still have the main force behind... Soochow will use all its strength to capture Jingzhou this time!"
Guan Yu's eyes widened and he grabbed the arm of the reserve team member: "What did you say?!"
Liu Feng and Guan Ping also opened their eyes wide at this time, unable to believe the news they heard.
Then Lu Xun just wrote such a disgusting letter a few days ago, why now... And isn't Lu Meng seriously ill and about to die?
Guan Yu had already turned around in his heart and slapped his thigh: "The rats from Jiangdong actually used such cunning tactics!"
However, he quickly calmed down. Both the Public Security Bureau and Jiangling were considered strong cities, and with tens of thousands of people there, they wouldn't be able to capture them right away. He would just wait for him to return to the army to relieve the siege.
but……
"Jiangling, Public Security Bureau, how is the battle situation now?"
"Public Security Officer Fu Shiren has surrendered to Kaicheng of Soochow. When I came here, Lu Meng's army was heading towards Jiangling!"
Guan Yu grabbed the young man's arm again: "What did you say?! Fu Shiren surrendered?"
"Yes, Lu Meng has lured Fu Shiren to surrender without any bloodshed!"
It was like a thunderbolt from the blue, exploding in Guan Yu's mind, leaving him at a loss.
Thinking of Mi Fang and Fu Shiren's hidden hatred for themselves, the fire dragon burning the warehouse, and their usual luxurious style.
Guan Yu almost understood what was going on.
If even Fu Shiren, an old brother who had worked hard together since Zhuojun, was demoted, then Mi Fang...
He didn't dare to think about it anymore, but there was one more thing he needed to ask.
"Where is the prince now? Why did you come from Jiangling to report the news?" This incident made Guan Yu feel worried.
"The prince is worried about the loss of Jiangling, and he has led our own troops to stop Lu Meng in Jiangling. I have ordered you to inform General Guan that there are still Lu Xun and Sun Quan's troops behind. Please send reinforcements immediately after receiving the news!"
"What?... Your prince's personal army has thousands of troops?"
The reserve team member raised his hands and said: "We are waiting for the regular army plus the reserve team, a total of 900 people are in Jiangling."
Guan Yu, Guan Ping, Liu Feng: "..."
"Hey!" Guan Yu punched the palm of his hand anxiously.
"Send the order for the whole army to raise their camps and set up their strongholds! Return to Jiangling immediately to aid!"
"It is reported that my troops have set up camp and set up camp! Return to Jiangling immediately to help!"
Guan Yu and Liu Feng, who shouted at the same time, looked at each other in surprise and saw the same thing in each other's eyes.
Guan Yu also rarely said anything about Liu Feng's behavior of making his own decisions without waiting for the general's orders.
The two just nodded to each other and looked away.
However, Guan Ping was surprised to find that the awkward atmosphere that seemed to have permeated the two of them before seemed to have completely disappeared.
"Adou, you must hold on! The second uncle (elder brother) is here to save you!!"
…
Comrade Liu Gongsi, who had only 900 troops and claimed to be blocking Lu Meng, was standing on the tower of the west gate of the North City with a look of shame, holding a human head in his hand.
It was Lu Meng's head... there was a hole on the back of his head.
The new city was burned to a great extent, and many of the city gates were burned down, losing their defensive value.
Now Liu Chan has concentrated all his troops on the defense of Beicheng.
"Lu Xun!! Come here!" Liu Chan shook the head in his hand and shouted arrogantly towards the dark Wu Jun outside the city.
Among the crowd of Wu soldiers, a cavalryman wearing black armor emerged from the crowd.
Liu Chan on the city tower could not clearly see the elegant appearance of the cavalry general, but seeing the guards around him and the large flag with the word "Lu" behind him, he guessed that this person was Lu Xun.
And, there’s no guessing right away.
[Lu Xun: Current favorability is negative 20]
[Lu Xun favorability -5]
[Current favorability: minus 25]
[Ding Feng: Current favorability is minus 20]
[Ding Feng’s favorability +1]
[Current favorability is negative 19]
Um?
Liu Chan, who was provoking, was confused. Ding Feng was also here? Never heard of it before.
He glanced at Wu Junzhong, but of course he couldn't recognize Ding Feng.
And what's going on with this man? How come he is provoking and taunting them with Lu Meng's head, yet he actually has a favorable impression of him?
Could it be that he and Lu Meng had some personal grudge? I haven’t heard of this either.
"Who are you?" Lu Xun's voice was neither urgent nor slow, and it was difficult to tell what his emotions were at this time.
But in fact, beneath his seemingly calm expression, his heart was already in turmoil.
With Lu Meng's intelligence, Lu Xun couldn't figure out why he allowed ten thousand troops to be burned to death in Jiangling City and the entire army was wiped out.
Even I ended up with my body and head missing.
"Listen up, Jiangdong rats! I am Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong! Do you want to kill me to avenge Lu Meng? Then send your army to attack the city!"
After Liu Chan finished speaking, he shook the head in his hand a few times.
He did it on purpose, he was trying to anger Lu Xun.
If Lu Xun used all his troops to attack Jiangling, it would be a perfect start for him.
He believed that Uncle Guan would definitely withdraw his troops and come back to save him after learning that he was in Jiangling.
But Lu Xun couldn't tell when Uncle Guan would come back.
When the time comes, he and Uncle Guan will cooperate with each other inside and outside, and they will definitely catch Lu Xun off guard and defeat the Soochow army in one fell swoop!
The effect of stimulating generals seems to be good on the Soochow soldiers below. At this time, they have begun to stir up, and they seem to be eager to come up and hack themselves to death...
However, as soon as Lu Xun raised his hand, the commotion gradually subsided.
Liu Chan on the tower raised his brows and said, "Sure, he can enforce orders and prohibitions. This guy has great ability in commanding the army."
Lu Xun below seemed to say something. The flag bearer behind him waved the flag, and the army began to return to the dock one after another.
Lu Xun also pulled the reins and turned to leave.
"Hey——! Are you as timid as a mouse and are you afraid of your prince? You don't even want Lu Meng's head?"
When Lu Xun heard this, he stopped his horse. He only stayed for a moment, but he did not look back after all.
"Drive!" He decisively whipped his horse and whipped away towards the dock.
Looking at Lu Xun's leaving figure, Liu Chan's face no longer had the slightly exaggerated expression of wanting to be beaten, but instead had a hint of solemnity.
It seems that this is not an enemy that can be easily dealt with.
"Prince, it seems that this man is afraid of the prince after seeing Lu Meng's defeat!" The defender said excitedly at this time.
Liu Chan shook his head: "If that's true, that would be great."
Lu Xun led the main force onto the warships and sailed westward along the river.
However, there are still some people left outside Jiangling City. It seems that there are about six or seven thousand people. At this time, they are still surrounding Jiangling North City, but they have no intention of attacking forcefully. It seems that they are just responsible for guarding Liu Chan and others in the city. Waiting for the follow-up Sun Quan's main force.
And Lu Xun must have brought the main force, as history has done, to block the return route of himself and others along the river, and to block the reinforcements coming from the old Liu Xi.
Wu Jun, who had obviously received the order, seemed not to notice Liu Chan's provocative actions...
However, this seemingly peaceful confrontation did not last long. A few days later, new changes ushered in.
The troops besieging the city began to evacuate in an orderly manner from far to near. It seemed that they were giving up the siege and planned to withdraw towards the dock.
After receiving the news, Liu Chan cheered up: "Second Uncle's reinforcements must have arrived! Lead your horses, prepare your spears, and get ready to fight! We can't let them come or leave whenever they want!"
