In fact, Guan Yu led his troops to march in the Zaotong Pass could be hidden from others, but it could not be hidden from Huang Zu, who had been operating in Jiangxia County for a long time.

Even though he had been beaten almost half-dead by Sun Ce, it has to be said that Huang Zu is still the top ten powerful faction in Jiangxia and even Jingzhou.

However, the current situation in Jingzhou has changed so quickly recently. How long has it been since Liu Biao to Lu Bu, from Lu Bu to Sun Ce!

Of course, Huang Zu did not accept Lu Bu. In fact, according to normal, Huang Zu did not have much room for resistance. In name, Huang Zu even presented a congratulatory letter to Lu Bu after he took over the governor of Jingzhou. However, Huang Zu did not expect that as soon as his congratulatory letter was sent to Lu Bu, he received news that Guan Yu's troops were marching in the Suzao Pass.

When he received the news, Huang Zu was stunned. He really didn't understand what the Han army was trying to get. However, he was now in a small number of soldiers and was trembling under Sun Ce's iron hooves, so he naturally didn't want to provoke the court. After he hesitating for a moment, he did not send the news of the court's southward to Lu Bu as soon as possible.

With this hesitation, the current situation in Jiangdong had changed instantly. First, Sun Ce abandoned him, the enemy who killed his father, and turned to cross the Han River to compete with Lu Bu for the Nanjun.

Even if he wanted to help Lu Bu during this period, he was powerless. At this time, he was no longer Zhou Yu's opponent at all.

Then when Lu Bu and Sun Ce formed an alliance, he had a bad premonition. Sure enough, not long after, Sun Ce pacified all the four counties in Jingnan. Then immediately the Huang family was informed that they would follow other wealthy families in Jingzhou and bet on Sun Ce. Sun Ce's confidant general Lu Fan even went directly to Anlu City, while Zhou Yu simply crossed the river in white and ran to Jiangling.

But the problem is that anyone in the Huang family and even in Jingzhou can surrender to Sun Ce, but only Huang Zu can't do it! He killed Sun Ce's father, while Sun Ce killed his whole family!

However, at this moment, all the soldiers and horses around Huang Zu were killed. More than 20,000 soldiers were killed by Sun Ce long before Guandu. The reason why he still gained a foothold in Anlu was mostly due to his special identity from the Huang family of Anlu. Obviously, facing this Jiangdong little overlord who was about to become the lord of Jingzhou, Huang Zu had become the abandoned son of the Huang family of Anlu, and his confidant general Pang Xi even went directly to visit Lu Fan.

At this time, it was so coincidental that Guan Yu and Pei Qian's troops had just walked not far from Anlu.

What else can I say about this?

Of course we have to welcome the king's army happily!

Anyway, after hearing Zhang Hu's words, Guan Yu and Pei Qian were both stunned. Zhang Hu also added: "My master asked me to tell you the two. As long as the two attack Anlu, he would lead his personal soldiers to respond in the city. With the ability of the general, he would be able to go to Anlu and capture Lu Fan alive. My master also said that Xiakou and Chaisang are no longer soldiers now. After taking Anlu, they only need to advance with a light cavalry. Within two days, they will definitely go to Chaisang and Xiakou to cut off Sun Ce's return!"

Guan Yu then reacted, stroked his beard and smiled, "Very good, go back and tell Huang Zu that after taking Xiakou, I will personally ask for merit for him, and I will guarantee him a position of 2,000 stones. And you, Zhang Hu, right? I will definitely recommend you to the emperor. If you can make meritorious contributions, I will recommend you to the emperor as the chief lieutenant!"

After hearing this, Zhang Hu left with satisfaction.

Hehe, I think Zhang Hu was originally a Jiangxia thief, so why did he become a Chengdu lieutenant? This is the serious lieutenant of the Han court.

And until Zhang Hu walked far, Pei Qian pinched his thigh hard and asked Guan Yu, "Will we win now?"

Guan Yu sighed, "This is the emperor's strategy. Whether it is Sun Ce, Lu Bu, Huang Zu, or the scholars in Jingzhou, their every move is under the control of the emperor."

"This...is this really a human?"

"Okay, there is no need to say anything like this useless. I'll just say we are on the road to victory, right? A disciple? Let's reorganize the army, order the brothers to make a fuss, rectify the troops, build some simple bamboo ladders, and climb the city ropes. Since the emperor has made a brilliant plan, if there is any mistake in this battle, you and I don't have to go back to Beijing to apologize, just wipe your neck."

Then, that's it.

When Sun Ce began to march towards Jiangling, Jiangling City had already received an order from Chaisang. Guan Yu issued them as the commander of Jieshuai, ordering them to collect the ships and burn them if necessary, so that Sun Ce would not benefit from the navy again.

The order was sent from Chaisang.

Chaisang and Xiakou have all fallen into the hands of the Han army. In other words, the entire Yangtze River Valley has fallen into the hands of the Han army. The Yangtze River Valley is in the north of the Dabie Mountains, the Mufu Mountains to the south, and a narrow waterway in the middle, namely Xiakou, Wuchang, Wuhan, etc. This series of strategic key places from ancient times to the present refers to this narrow waterway. If there is a blockage, the connection between Jing and Yangzhou is broken.

In the land of Jingzhou, "If the world is spoken, it is important to Xiangyang, and if the southeast is spoken, it is important to Wuchang." That's what it means.

You say fight, the terrain of this place is really quite like Guandu, and it is even more dangerous than Guandu. It is really easy to defend but difficult to attack. Sun Ce's morale is completely collapsed now, and even food and grass are unsustainable. Is this a fart?

To sum up in a brief sentence: Sun Ce, the governor of Yangzhou, cannot return to Yangzhou, at least it is difficult for the large army to go back. (The road on which Taishi Ci invaded cannot be taken by the army)

Similarly, since Xiakou has changed hands, even if the large pocket of Nanjun is pierced, although it is definitely not convenient to march, the Han army can indeed easily leave Xiakou and send troops from the east to attack Jiangling's hinterland. Didn't Sun Ce himself take this route to Nanjun?

So, what's the point of guarding Xiangyang?

Sun Ce, the Yangzhou Mu, can't even go back to Yangzhou. What's the point of the conditions that everyone had negotiated before?

The moment the news reached Jiangling, Zhou Yu immediately killed himself under the escort of his personal soldiers. The local factions in Nanjun responded a little slower. They failed to catch Zhou Yu, but they all lowered their feet and paused their chests. They went home in regret and hurriedly wrote a congratulatory form.

By the way, most of Huo Jun's family members were rescued.

Huo Jun saw that you guys surrendered so quickly! I really can't compare to this ability to change with the wind!

Then he went to meet Wenpin secretly: "Brother Wen, I won't say anything anymore. We brothers are in a fight. You see, because I have never fought you seriously in the past two months. Can you please take the date of my surrender a little forward when you wrote the memorial form?"

As for Wen Pin, standing in the city of Xiangyang again, his mood was quite complicated.

I have never been so successful in fighting for a lifetime. Is this the emperor's temple? Is it true that I can understand human nature, and play with most of the so-called heroes and heroes in the south in applause!

The plot of ghosts and gods is so terrifying!
