After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

He had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to Dazhai, and we will discuss later.

At night, in Chong'an County.

Pan Zhang entered the tent of the Chinese army to ask to see Lu Meng.

"Great Governor, Guan Yu ordered our troops to come out today, so we must relax our vigilance at night. I am willing to lead my troops to rob the camp!"

Lu Meng shook his head: "Guan Yu has the right way to use troops. If you want to defeat him, you must wait for his food and grass to run out. Don't be reckless!"

Pan Zhang shook his head: "When Guan Yu's food and grass are exhausted, Cao Ren's pursuers must have arrived. Then how and how should Guan Yu be killed?"

Lu Meng immediately said: "We will discuss it when Cao Ren's soldiers arrive. No one wants to kill Guan Yu more than me!"

Deputy Governor Lu Xun hurriedly cupped his hands: "Great Governor, we have promised Liu Xian earlier to capture Guan Yu alive!"

"Hmph!" Lu Meng snorted coldly, "Don't you know Liu Xian's intentions now?"

"What is Liu Xian's intention?" Lu Xun was puzzled.

Lu Meng said: "If Guan Yu is captured alive and sent to Cao Cao, he will definitely surrender to Cao Cao and attack me in Jiangdong for Cao Cao in the future. Such a disaster must not be left behind!"

Lu Xun shook his head: "But if you kill Guan Yu, you will not only enmity with Liu Bei, but also anger Cao Cao!"

Lu Meng smiled: "Bo Yan, do you really think that Cao Cao will treat me kindly to Jiangdong after Liu Bei is destroyed? Jiangdong wants to survive, the only way is to fight to the end!"

"What the governor said is true!" Lu Xun clasped his fists as a gesture, and then fell silent.

Lu Meng immediately said: "The order continues, no one is allowed to fight without authorization, and those who disobey the order will be executed!"

"Obey!" All the generals clasped their fists to signal.

Yizhou, Jiangyang County.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Fei was gearing up.

"Brother, second brother has been trapped to death in Jingnan by the thief Lu Meng, if we don't send troops at this time, when will we wait?"

Mi Zhu said, "Don't be impulsive, Yi De. Ma Chao and Fazheng have already retreated to Nanzhong. If our army divides to go to Jingnan at this time, we will be attacked by Cao Cao. There is no way out!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei stepped forward and slapped Mi Zhu on the face.

"Bastard, do you have the face to speak? It's your brother who betrayed my second brother!"

After being slapped, Mi Zhu drooped his head and said nothing.

Liu Bei, who has always cared for his subordinates, did not care about Mi Zhu's feelings today.

It could be seen that Liu Bei was also unhappy because of Mi Fang's surrender.

Liu Bei Laikou: "Military Master, is there a perfect plan now?"

"No!" Zhuge Liang shook his head, his tone extremely firm.

Liu Bei asked again: "Is there a way to save Yun Chang?"

"Yes!" Zhuge nodded, "If you want to save Yun Chang, there is only one strategy!"

"Which strategy?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang said: "Surround Wei and save Zhao!"

Liu Bei was shocked: "Surround Wei and save Zhao?"

"That's right!" Zhuge Liang nodded: "Our army immediately abandoned Jiangyang City, retreated to Nanzhong, and quickly captured Jiaozhou!"

Liu Bei was shocked: "Attack Jiaozhou?"

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly to signal: "Lü Meng's troops are heavily suppressing the territory. Once our army attacks Jiaozhou, he will definitely lead his troops back. In this way, Yun Chang can retreat!"

Zhang Fei asked Zhuge Liang: "Why don't you attack Jingnan?"

Zhuge Liang said: "If we attack Jingnan, we will not only have to fight Lu Meng, but Cao Cao will also attack from behind. Our army has no chance of winning!"

"It makes sense!" Zhang Fei nodded.

Yizhou is connected with Jingnan, and Nanzhong is connected with Jiaozhou.

Once Liu Bei retreats back to Nanzhong, he can use Nanzhong to block Cao Cao, and then go to Jiaozhou secretly.

On the contrary, there will be what Zhuge Liang said is the situation of being attacked by the enemy.

"Okay!" Liu Bei nodded: "Abandon the city overnight, return to Nanzhong, and surprise Jiaozhou!"

"Obey!" All the generals clasped their fists to signal.

Outside Jiangyang City, Cao Jun camped.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao and Liu Xian drink together at the table.

Lao Huang is responsible for adding wine and vegetables.

Cao Cao said: "Lu Meng's surprise attack on Jingnan two counties, and Guan Yu's defeat is imminent. I think Liu Bei can't sit still. I intend to steal the city tonight. How about Ziyu?"

Liu Xian shook his head: "Did King Wei ever consider what Liu Bei thought? Or, what Zhuge Liang thought?"

"Oh?" Cao Cao was puzzled, "What are the two of them thinking?"

Liu Xian said: "Liu Bei and Guan Yu are sworn brothers, and they will never treat each other as brothers at this time, but because the army of King Wei is here, Liu Bei dare not rush to attack Lingling City!"

"Yeah!" Cao Cao nodded, "Continue talking!"

Liu Xian added: "If you want to save Guan Yu, but also protect yourself, Zhuge Liang will definitely choose to encircle Wei and save Zhao!"

Chapter 345

Cao Cao smiled: "How will Zhuge Liang surround Wei and save Zhao?"

Liu Xian said: "Abandon Jiangyang City, retreat to Nanzhong, and then surprise Jiaozhou!"

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly brightened: "Liu Bei attacked Jiaozhou, Lu Meng will definitely return to help!"

"That's right!" Liu Xian nodded, "Without the siege of Lu Meng's army, Guan Yu would have a way out!"

Cao Cao nodded: "This is an opportunity for our army!"

"Yes!" Liu Xian also nodded, "Wei Wang can order Cao Ren to send troops from Changsha to pursue Guan Yu, and he must be captured alive. At the same time, Wei Wang waited for Liu Bei to withdraw his troops and slowly entered Jiangyang County. The military can take this opportunity to sneak attack the six counties of Nanzhong!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed, "It must be you, Liu Ziyu!"

Liu Xian smiled: "Know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles!"

"Okay!" Cao Cao nodded.

Immediately send someone to order Cao Ren to send troops to pursue Guan Yu quickly, and he must be captured alive!

At the third watch of the night, Liu Bei only left [-] old and weak defenders, and the banner on the top of the city remained unchanged, and quietly led his elite to withdraw to Nanzhong.

Jingzhou, Changsha County.

After Cao Ren accurately checked the more than 5 soldiers and horses under Guan Yu, he confirmed that they all surrendered to Cao Jun in the past.

Immediately, these people were disorderly incorporated into the accounts of the generals.

Then convene the generals to discuss the matter.

Cao Hong took the lead to stand up: "General, the situation in Changsha is initially settled. Our army should immediately lead our troops to pursue Guan Yu and expand the results of the battle!"

Gan Ning immediately said, "I would like to be a pioneer!"

"Yes!" Cao Ren nodded, "I just received a letter from the King of Wei, asking our army to send troops from Changsha City, and we must capture Guan Yu alive!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals became excited.

Cao Rendao: "Cao Hong guards Changsha City, Gan Ning and Huang Zhong will follow me and lead [-] elite troops to pursue Guan Yu!"

"Obey!" All the generals clasped their fists to signal.

A few days later, Cao Ren led his troops to the former Hengyang County.

Most of the flood has receded, but the city has long been deserted.

It was learned that Guan Yu was confronting Lu Meng outside Chong'an County.

Cao Ren ordered the army to set up camp outside the city, and raised the banner of surrender again.

All Guan Yu's former troops can enter Cao Ying to have a full meal.

According to different official positions, each has rewards.

The conditions are not generally favorable.

The news soon spread to Guan Yu's camp.

In just three days, more than ten thousand soldiers and horses fled to the direction of Cao Jun's camp in Hengyang City.

Inside the Chinese army tent.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and asked Liao Hua, "How many soldiers and horses do we have?"

"It's less than 1!" Liao Hua shook his head and sighed, "Soldiers are fleeing every day. As soon as Cao Ren arrived in Hengyang City, more than [-] people voted within three days!"

Guan Ping asked Liao Hua: "Why did no one stop thousands of soldiers and horses from fleeing the camp?"

Liao Hua remained silent.

Guan Yu waved his hand: "Don't blame Ping'er. We are being attacked by Cao Ren and Lu Meng. The army's rations are about to run out, and the soldiers will inevitably run for their lives!"

"Father!" Guan Ping cupped his fists, with tears in his eyes.

"Hey!" Guan Yu sighed a long time, "How much food and grass are there?"

"Less than three days!" Guan Ping said.

"Understood!" Guan Yu nodded.

In just a few days, his hair was full of gray hair, and his whole body was much older.

Zhou Cang immediately said: "General, I will guard the camp tonight and promise not to let anyone escape!"

"No need!" Guan Yu waved his hand: "Tell the generals in the army that our army's food and grass are exhausted. If you want to surrender, you can go to Hengyang City and join Cao Ren!"

"This?" Zhou Cang turned pale with shock.

Liao Hua was puzzled: "Why is this general?"

"Father!" Guan Ping also said, "If so, our army will definitely be defeated!"

"Soldiers who can't be kept, it's better to send them away, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue in life!" After Guan Yu finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal the generals to retreat.

"I'll wait for my resignation!" The generals withdrew from the Chinese army tent one after another.

Following Guan Yu's order.

Countless generals fled to Cao Ren's camp in Hengyang City.

But in three days, Guan Yu had more than 3 horsemen, and only more than 5000 people remained.

These 5000 people are all close followers of Guan Yu for many years.

Even if it is death, I will die with Guan Yu.

Because the number of soldiers continued to decrease.

The problem of Guan Yu's food and grass has also been alleviated.

Originally, food and grass for three days supplied [-] soldiers and horses.

Now three days of food and grass supply 5000 horses, which can last at least sixteen or seven days.

Guan Ping personally led his troops out of the camp to hunt birds and beasts, and dig wild fruit trees to satisfy their hunger.

It is roughly estimated that Guan Yu can stick to this place for at least ten months.

The news spread to Chong'an County.

Pan Zhang complained to Lu Meng: "Grand Governor, Cao Ren is so shameless, we block Guan Yu in the front, and he frantically recruits Guan Yu's old troops in the back!"

Ling Tong also said: "In Guan Yu's camp, people's hearts have long been unstable. Our army should take advantage of this time to rush to attack Guan Yu!"

Lu Meng waved his hand: "On the contrary, especially at this time, you can't attack rashly!"

"Why?" Ling Tong and Pan Zhang were puzzled.

Lu Meng explained: "Do you really think that Guan Yu is going to die here?"

"Isn't it?" The two were puzzled.
