Now that Guan Yu leads his troops to Xiangyang, it may not be a good thing even if he can occupy the city before Xiahou Shang.

Once Cao Cao besieged the city, there is no food or grass inside or rescue troops outside. There is no way out except to surrender.

Guan Yu had no choice but to bring troops to the police.

After walking for dozens of miles, I noticed again:

"Fu Shiren, the police guard general, has already offered the city and surrendered to Jiangdong!"

Guan Yu was furious and ordered the army to accelerate its advance and to counterattack the public security.

Guan Yu was not acting voluntarily. He thought that he still had more than 30,000 troops, and Jiangling was still in Mi Fang's hands, so he could support food and grass. He could do anything while the Jiangdong army had not yet established a stable foothold and counterattacked the public security.

But Guan Yu's right arm had not healed, and he could no longer bear the blow of bad news. The anger was blocked, the sores burst and the dizzy.

The generals hurriedly called the military doctor to wake up. Guan Yu was moved when he saw Wang Fu's caring gaze and said a little apologetically to him:

"I regret not listening to my words. Today, there is a matter of Fu Shiren offering the city."

Wang Fu was worried that Jiangling would be captured by Jiangdong, so he said to Guan Yu:

"Since Jiangdong has already attacked Jingzhou by his alliance, he will not give up. He will definitely do his best. It will definitely be a tragic battle. If the general can resist it independently, it is better to retreat to Jiangling for the time being, wait for the arrival of his lord's reinforcements and then fight with Jiangdong."

All the generals agreed with Wang Fu's suggestion, but were afraid that Guan Yu would do his own thing, but no one could persuade him.

Fortunately, Guan Yu acted like a good person this time and replied casually:

"Guoshan's words are reasonable. Mi Fang and his elder brother are in-laws, and they are not comparable to Fu Shiren. They should not offer the city easily. As long as they are still defending Jiangling, they will go to Jiangling to join forces with him first, stabilize the situation, and wait for Xichuan reinforcements. This is the best strategy! Guan Ping, orders the entire army to march towards Jiangling!"

Guan Yu had nearly 30,000 troops left. If he could seize Jiangling, he would definitely be able to persevere until Liu Bei's reinforcements arrived. The generals had no objection and began to move towards Dangyang.

The spy came to report that Changbanpo was ahead. Guan Yu remembered the scene when Liu Bei was hunted by Cao Cao in Dangyang, and Guan Yu was filled with emotion.

When Liu Bei's brothers were in desperate situations, they were able to survive in a desperate situation, which also aroused his ambitions.

Guan Yu began to think about the mistakes and omissions he made. He always felt that his beacon tower had a very tight defense line and should not have been cracked by Lu Meng so easily. He asked the siege:

"Jiangdong launched a large-scale army, with dozens of beacon towers along the river. Why not raise fires to call the police?"

Guan Yu was unsure of the Investigation Ma after hearing the rumors. He had already found out and replied:

"Lu Meng used a lot of money to recruit local boatmen from Jingzhou as a cover, so that the Jiangdong navy would wear white clothes and disguise himself as a merchant to cross the river, and hid the elite soldiers in the cabin. After docking, he captured the guards of the platform first, so he didn't have time to raise a fire to call the police."

Guan Yu paused and sighed:

"I don't think about it, the plot of the traitor of Zhonglu Meng. Now that the situation in Jingzhou is in crisis, how can I see my brother? I can only fight to death to regain Jingzhou."

Zhao Lei, the governor in charge of food and grass, knew that the army had not had much food and grass, and Jiangling's stock was not much, so he suggested to Guan Yu:

"The matter is urgent now. General Guan can quickly march into Jiangling to fight against the Jiangdong Army, but food and grass may not be able to support it. Besides, the lonely city is difficult to defend, so many people can send people to Chengdu for help."

Guan Yu followed the words and sent several people to Chengdu to ask for help at night. Guan Yu was very concerned about whether Jiangling had fallen, so he led the front team to lead the front and stayed at Liao Hua, and Guan Ping cut off the rear.

Before long, another visit came to Mahjong: Mi Fang was persuaded by Fu Shiren and Yu Fan, opened the Jiangcheng Gate and surrendered, and Jiangling City was also occupied by Lu Meng.

After hearing this, Guan Yu's expression was stiff and he seemed to be numb.

But he still has 30,000 troops under his command. On the way to Jiangling, he has no basis for advancing and retreating. He needs to make a decision early, so he asked Wang Fu and Zhao Lei:

"There are Jiangdong Army now and Cao Army later. I was attacked from both sides. It is difficult for Xichuan's reinforcements to reach them in a short time. Is there any good way now?"

Wang Fu had no choice but to shake his head and speak without saying a word.

Zhao Lei pondered for a while and offered his advice:

"In the past, when Lu Meng first arrived at Lukou to garrison, he often wrote to the general. The two families agreed to kill Cao Cao, the traitor of the country. Now, taking advantage of the attack on Cao Cao and attacking our city is a rebellion. The general can temporarily station troops here and collect food, grass and military resources. If it is a long time to do so, he can send someone to send letters to blame Lu Meng. No matter how he answers, he can buy time."

Guan Yu followed his words and wrote a letter to send envoys to Jiangling to meet Lu Meng.

After Lu Meng entered Jiangling City, he issued an order:

"All counties in Jingzhou have families with Guan Yu to go to war, and the Jiangdong soldiers are not allowed to disturb them, and they will be given grain and rice on a monthly basis; if there are sick people, they will be sent to treat them."

The families of the soldiers in Jingzhou were grateful for their kindness and did not cause unrest.

Lu Meng received the reward, and Guan Yu retreated from Fancheng and came to Jiangling.

Guan Yu's military and horses are not fewer than him. If both sides fight hard, Jiangdong's own damage will be considerable.

Lu Meng was thinking about how to disintegrate Guan Yu's morale, but suddenly Guan Yu sent an envoy to come. Lu Meng felt a move and came up with a plan. He went out to welcome the city in person and treated him with a guest.

The envoy presented Guan Yu's letter to Lu Meng. After Lu Meng finished reading it, he pretended to be very ashamed and said to the envoy:

"In the past, I made a good relationship with General Guan, which was my own private idea; today's affairs were sent by the emperor, and I was unable to do so. I asked the envoy to return the general to declare his decree and apologize."

Lu Meng held a banquet to entertain the envoy and sent it to the inn to rest. He served the food and rice every day, which was delayed for several days.

Guan Yu sent an envoy over, but it was not really a matter of holding Lu Meng accountable, but a delayed strategy and did not take the initiative to quit.

Lu Meng also had his own plan, and he just had time to arrange it calmly, and he was not afraid that Guan Yu would lead tens of thousands of troops to fly into the sky.

Lu Meng announced in Jiangling City that Guan Yu sent an envoy to negotiate. The families of soldiers who went to war with Guan Yu could come to inquire. Anyone who passed on the family letter or wrote a letter can come to find the envoy."

Jiangling City was in trouble! Many military families came to send messages saying that their families were safe and they were not short of food and clothing. Although there were no extra predictions, their purpose was self-evident.

The envoy did not think so much, and was happy to bring a letter of peace to his colleagues. With the expectations of countless families in the city, he bid farewell to Lu Meng and returned to the army.

Lu Meng personally sent it out of the city, showing great sincerity.

After the envoy left, based on Lu Meng's understanding of Guan Yu, he knew that he would definitely lead his troops to attack Jiangling City, so he made arrangements in advance.

He called Han Dang, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Ding Feng, Xu Sheng and other generals to come over and give orders like this, and the generals led their troops away.

The envoy returned to Guan Yu and truthfully told Lu Meng's words, saying:

"In Jiangling City, the generals and the families of all the generals are all safe and there is no shortage of supplies."

Of course Guan Yu knew that this was Lu Meng's plan, and said gritting his teeth:

"This is a plan for the traitor to be arrogant to our army! I cannot kill this thief in my life, and I will kill him to death, so I will hate him!" Guan Yu was unable to calm down, and he hated him and shouted away from the envoy.
