A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 35 The Undead Lu Bu

The next day, Zhuge Liang sent officials to Yiling to appease the local residents and take over the daily affairs of Yiling City as soon as possible.

After handing over the affairs with the dispatched officials, the army set out again, taking Yiling City as the base, going up Hebei, and eastward into Nanjun.

Nanjun is located in the middle of two mountain ranges, blocking the official road, and it has the momentum of a man in charge of the gate, and no one can open it.

To the north of Nanjun is Fancheng. Fancheng and Xiangyang are only separated by a river, but they are polarized.

Fancheng has a superior location and is an important hub connecting the four counties of Jingzhou. If Fancheng is not peaceful, those four counties are absolutely unacceptable. If Fancheng is captured, they must first go to Nanjun.

Before sending troops, Zhuge Liang had discussed this issue with Du Huo. Right now, Nanjun and Fancheng are being garrisoned by Cao Cao and Cao Ren.

This person is good at defending the city, can fight tough battles, and is by no means a mediocre person.

According to Zhuge Liang's intention, he planned to send people to infiltrate Nanjun first, and then cooperate with the inside and outside to seize the city of Nanjun.

But as soon as he proposed this plan, Du Huo rejected it on the grounds that it was too complicated.

In Du Huo's view, there is no need to make such troubles for a mere South County City. After all, South County City is just a transit channel. The city is small and there are few people, so there is no way to hoard too many guards.

Therefore, as long as Du Huo leads a large army to attack, Nanjun City can be captured within three days.

……

Duhuo Barracks, thirty miles southwest of Nanjun City.

"My lord, although Nanjun City is small, there is a steady stream of soldiers and supplies from Fancheng. And we are fighting the enemy thousands of miles away. If we can't win the battle quickly, we will be dragged down by them sooner or later!"

When Du Huo came up with the idea of ​​storming Nanjun City, Zhuge Liang made an analysis of the current situation, hoping to persuade Du Huo to change his plan.

But Zhuge Liang underestimated Du Huo's determination after all. Just when he proposed this idea, Du Huo directly terminated the discussion between the two and led his army to capture Nanjun City alone.

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard the news, they immediately led their troops to join Du Huo.

In the barracks, only Zhao Yun was left guarding the place.

The next day, the battle in Nancheng was going on fiercely.

Zhao Yun, the camp guard, broke into Zhuge Liang's camp alone, and begged Zhuge Liang to send him to the south city to help Du Huo.

After learning of Zhao Yun's purpose, Zhuge Liang paced back and forth in the camp first, then sat down and sighed, but refused to give Zhao Yun an answer.

"Military Master, my lord is attacking Nanjun right now, and Yun Changyi and Deke are all fighting and beheading the enemy on the front line. Don't you have the heart to see me sitting on the bench here?"

Zhao Yun tried his best to suppress his emotions so that he looked calmer.But his words were beyond his control.

"General Zilong, it's not that I deliberately stopped you, but the current situation, you are not allowed to do this!
At this time, Yun Changyi Dedu went out to help the lord.As soon as the two of them left, the camp seemed a little empty.

Our food, grass and supplies are all hoarded in the big camp at this time. If Cao Ren comes to attack at this time, and you are not here, how should we protect these food and supplies? " Zhuge Liang asked.

"Then Cao Ren is in Nanjun, fighting fiercely with the lord, how can he divide his troops to attack our camp?" When Zhuge Liang explained the reason, Zhao Yun did the same, and then asked a rhetorical question.

"When the two armies are fighting, we should be cautious. Even if Cao Ren is at his wits end, we have to plan ahead. After all, the food and supplies are the lifeblood of our army. If there is any loss, the consequences will be disastrous! Therefore, you and I must do our best. Do your best to protect the safety of food and supplies!" Zhuge Liang explained shaking his fan. .

"Ah!" Zhuge Liang's words reached this point, but Zhao Yun had no choice but to sigh, "It's really reconciled not to be able to charge forward!"

Zhuge Liang saw that Zhao Yun had changed his mind, so he comforted him and said: "General Zilong, don't be depressed. When the lord is fighting, you can protect the food and supplies for the lord. This is also a credit. When the lord wins, I will definitely report to the lord. hard work!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun's eyebrows relaxed a little, and he saluted and thanked: "In this way, Zhao Yun would like to thank the military advisor!"

"General, you don't need to be polite, this is a matter of duty!" Zhuge Liang bowed back, showing humility.

……

On the South County battlefield, Du Huo's third attack was repulsed by Cao Ren again.

Under the city of Nanjun, there are countless corpses of soldiers who died in battle.

Under the infiltration of blood, it was difficult to distinguish the lineup of soldiers for a while.

In the temporary barracks, Du Huo frowned tightly, and was eagerly planning the strategy for the fourth siege.

"Big brother..."

At this time, Zhang Fei, covered in blood, suddenly appeared in the temporary barracks.

"Yide, are you okay?" Du Huo looked up at Zhang Fei, and then turned his gaze back to the desk.

"It's okay! Big Brother, Second Brother asked me to tell you that he led his troops to intercept Cao Jun's grain road!" Zhang Fei said.

"what?"

Hearing this, Du Huo couldn't help but thumped in his heart, and then he began to worry about Guan Yu's safety.

Cao Jun's food road is also an important path connecting Nanjun and Fancheng.Guan Yu's move undoubtedly put himself in the hinterland of Cao Jun. If he is a little careless, he may be surrounded and wiped out by him, and Du Huo has no way to rescue him!
At the beginning, before capturing Nanjun, Du Huo had indeed had this idea.However, due to the later realization of the risk of this move.Therefore, Du Huo dismissed this idea.

But who would have thought that Guan Yu actually adopted this plan at this time, and in order to prevent Du Huo from blocking him, he actually asked Zhang Fei to come to inform Du Huo after he set off.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Du Huo can only send more troops to attack Nanjun City violently in order to attract more Cao troops and reduce Guan Yu's risk.

The battle continued until evening, and the city of Nanjun was brightly lit. The attack of Du Huo's army still did not stop.

However, Cao Ren Cao Chong, the second general who guarded Nancheng County, couldn't hold on anymore.

In the middle of the night, Guan Yu led his army back to the camp, and none of the soldiers under his command was lost.

According to Guan Yu's report, at this time Fancheng had stopped sending soldiers to Nanjun, and even the supply of grain and grass had stopped.

It seems that something happened over there in Fancheng, otherwise this strange phenomenon would never have occurred.

And when Guan Yu mentioned this matter, Du Huo couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately ordered the whole army to launch a final general attack on Nanjun City.

In the early hours of the morning, Nanjun City was breached, and the defender Cao Ren Cao Hong led the remnant army and fled to Fancheng.

However, at this time, Fancheng had already been captured by Lu Bu.

Outside Fancheng, Lu Bu single-handedly faced Cao Ren and Cao Hong.

As a result, before ten rendezvous, Cao Ren and Cao Hong were picked off by Lu Bu.

After seeing Lu Bu's power, the two hurriedly led the army back and retreated to the capital in defeat.
