The army stopped at Green Forest Mountain and was about to wait for the Jiangdong Army to continue to march when the reply from the Jiangdong Army came.

However, the reply from the Jiangdong Army had not yet come, but the battle report from Wancheng was sent. The latest battle report was not long ago, Cao Cao personally led a large army to join forces with Cao Ren at Wancheng City to defeat the Jiangdong Army in one fell swoop. The Jiangdong Army suffered most of the losses, and the defeated soldiers fled southwest.

Ai Lang and Liu Bei looked at each other, neither of them expected that the Jiangdong army would be defeated so quickly. Xu Shu said: "If you escape southwest, you should go around Xinye and go through Taoshui to Rang County and then drive straight to Yin County to the Han River and return to Xiangyang from the waterway." Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement, "What Yuan Zhi said is very! Sun Jian and Sun Ce must have planned so much!"

Liu Bei frowned and said, "The situation of the Jiangdong Army is now worrying, but why has Zhou Yu been slow to respond to our request?"

Ailang couldn't help but laugh, "That guy put all his energy into us!"

Zhang Fei suddenly shouted, "Brother, let's pay attention to what Zhou Yu's waiter is doing? Let's fight the Han River now! Xiangyang is ours!" In addition to Guan Yu squinting his eyes, the generals under Liu Bei were all in agitation and shouting to take back Xiangyang.

Ailang found that the atmosphere at the scene seemed to have changed suddenly, and couldn't help but tease: "Aren't we going to jointly deal with Cao Cao? Why do I feel like you are going to denounce Sun Jian?"

Zhang Fei couldn't help but glared at Ai Lang and scolded: "Slaves of the Three Clans! Don't think I've forgotten! You took our Xuzhou and are also our big enemy!"

Liu Bei's expression changed and he shouted sternly: "How can Yide speak nonsense? Quickly apologize to Brother Fengxian!" Zhang Fei was very angry. He was about to make an attack, but thinking about the current situation, he could not help but cooperate with Lu Bu, so he had to suppress his anger and bow to Ailang, "I'm sorry!" He said to someone, but looking at his tone and expression, he wanted to swallow Ailang alive. Ailang was not angry, and the three surnames of slaves were not a swear word in his modern concept. Seeing Zhang Fei apologizing unwillingly, he felt very funny and couldn't help laughing and said, "It's great! You don't apologize to me willingly, don't make things difficult for yourself! I look awkward!" Zhang Fei snorted.

Liu Bei quickly clasped his fists at Ailang and said, "Brother Fengxian, don't take it seriously. My third brother is born with such a personality that he likes to offend people!" Ailang waved his hand generously, "Forget it, I didn't take it seriously!" He really didn't take it seriously, because he took a big advantage in Xuzhou affairs. Isn't he allowed to complain if he suffers losses?

At this moment, an officer under Liu Bei ran in and reported: "Report to the lord, Zhou Yu's envoy is here. He is agreeing to wait for the call."

Everyone's hearts moved, and Liu Bei said, "Call him in!" The officer Ying Nuo ran down. After a while, an officer in his forties appeared in the big tent. He saw Lu Bu and Liu Bei sitting on the top and immediately said, "Go to the general, meet the envoy Liu! My grand commander ordered the villain to come, thank you for the two Gao Yi's uprising to rescue! The general said that our army does not need assistance, but now that the three families are in a joint fight against Cao, the general and Liu envoy are misunderstood, so they decided to welcome the two tens of millions of Xiangyang to meet together!"

Zhang Fei couldn't bear it and scolded angrily: "I'll make you a little Zhou Yu! It's fine if you don't have the ability to defend Jingzhou. Now, even if we need our army's rescue, we still have to pretend to behave!" The officer was scolded by Zhang Fei, and he couldn't help but feel panic and could not speak.

Liu Bei shouted angrily: "Third brother, don't say much!" Zhang Fei snorted and closed his mouth.

Liu Bei smiled and apologized to the officer: "You don't have to take it seriously. My third brothers are disgusting and kind, but they just complain." The officer said, "Liu Bei dared to ask questions to Ailang. Ailang said, "Zhou Yu said so, let's go immediately!" Liu Bei nodded, clasped his fists at the officer and said, "Please reply to the Grand Governor, and we will set off immediately and we will arrive in Xiangyang soon!" The officer bowed and hurriedly left.

Zhou Yu was in Xiangyang, looking at the huge sand table in front of him, and the sand table in front of him was very exquisitely made, with mountains, rivers, rivers, and cities, all vividly, just like a concentrated mountain and river landscape. In the middle of the sand table was Xiangyang City, the Han River flowed from the northwest, and bypassed the famous city of Zhongyuan from the north and then meandered to the south. The Han River flowed for 400 miles after reaching the south, and then turned eastward to Yunmengze near Jingling County in the south, and finally merged into the Yangtze River.

Lu Su walked in quickly. When he saw Zhou Yu, he shouted: "Gongjin!..."

Zhou Yu raised his head and smiled and said, "It's Zijing!"

Lu Su walked to Zhou Yu and was about to speak. At this time, Zhou Yu sent the officer who responded to Lu Bu and Liu Bei ran in and reported: "Grandmaster, the villain is back!" "Well, what's the situation?" "Report to the Governor, Lu Bu and Liu Bei said that they would set off for Xiangyang immediately!" Zhou Yu nodded, "I understand, go down." The officer bowed to Zhou Yu and retreated.

Lu Su asked in confusion: "Didn't Gongjin want to call Lu Bu and Liu Bei over? Why did he change his mind again?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Don't Zijing know the news of our army's defeat in Wancheng?" Lu Su hurriedly said, "But Gongjin, you said, we can block Cao's army in the Han River alone, so why do we have to rely on Lu Bu and Liu Bei? Although we are now dependent on them, people are unpredictable and no one can guarantee that they will not attack Xiangyang! If such a situation really happens, we will be attacked from both sides?"

Zhou Yu laughed and patted Lu Su on the shoulder, "Zi Jing is too worried! If Lu Bu and Liu Bei want to seize Xiangyang, they will not give up Xiangyang! Isn't this an unnecessary move?" Lu Su was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "What Gongjin said is reasonable! But no one can guarantee whether they regret it now! Didn't Gong Jin not want Lu Bu and Liu Bei to come before, but why did he change his mind now?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Zijing, the reason why I didn't want Lu Bu and Liu Bei to get involved before was not because I was worried that they would take the opportunity to seize Xiangyang. I just wanted to take this opportunity to show their strength to all forces. The truth is not as useful as the military power." Then he frowned, "But I didn't expect Cao Cao to use his troops so deceitful, while Cao Ren defended Wancheng as solid as a rock! Our army missed the opportunity and suffered a great defeat! At this time,

At once, we can't think about how to show our strength, and we have to find a way to defeat Cao Cao! Our naval army can certainly block the Han River and prevent Cao's army from going south, but in this way, we cannot defeat Cao Cao. Cao Cao's army uses the power of great victory to advance to the Han navigators to suppress Xiangyang. I am afraid that the officials, people and the people of Jingxiang will be frightened and surrender to Cao Cao. It will be a big problem at that time!" Lu Su was stunned, and then he thought of this problem and frowned and nodded.

Zhou Yu glanced at Lu Su, smiled, and said, "What I thought about is how to defeat Cao Cao and take back Wancheng. Therefore, we must rely on the power of Lu Bu and Liu Bei. In fact, even if our army can complete such a task independently, I will invite them to join us! After all, defeating Cao Cao is not our family's business!" Lu Su understood Zhou Yu's plan, couldn't help laughing, and said with infinite admiration: "Gongjin's plan is really wonderful! I am really beyond my reach!" Zhou Yu grabbed Lu Su's fist and patted it, and said sincerely: "Zi Jing don't say that! Zi Jing and I are different from each other, and there is no difference between better and worse! Although Zi Jing's military strategy is not as good as me, when it comes to internal affairs, people's livelihood and officials of all sizes work together, I am far inferior to Zi Jing!" Lu Su was moved and shouted, "Gongjin..."

At this time, an officer rushed in and reported: "Report to the Grand Governor, the lord and the major general have retreated from the water!" Zhou Yu immediately held Lu Su's hand and said, "Zi Jing, let's go to welcome the Grand Governor together!" Lu Su nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" The two of them went out of the hall hand in hand.

The 100,000 army led by Ailang and Liu Bei crossed the Han River and drove straight to the city of Xiangyang. As soon as he arrived at the city of Xiangyang, he saw Sun Jian personally leading his army out of the city to greet him. After a greeting, Sun Jian invited the two into the city to host a banquet. The troops brought by Ailang and Liu Bei were stationed outside the city, and Sun Jian had ordered people to send wine and meat as rewards.

At the banquet, Sun Jian picked up the wine bottle and toasted Ailang and Liu Bei: "The General and Liu Envoy arrived, making the humble house full of glory!" Zhang Fei, who was sitting under Guan Yu, sneered for a moment, too lazy to pay attention to Sun Jian and the others, and drank bowls of wine on his own. The wine came to him like boiled water! Ailang and Liu Bei picked up the wine bottle, and Ailang smiled and said, "I can't speak, I can drink!" As he said that, he raised his head and dried the wine. Liu Bei smiled and said, "Brother Fengxian said it well. We don't need to be polite. Everything you want to say is in the wine. I toast General Sun with a glass." As he said that, he also raised his head and dried a bottle of wine.

Sun Jian laughed and said loudly, "Okay!" Then he raised his head and dried a bottle of wine. He put down the bottle of wine and said to Liu Bei with a smile: "If you have any difficulties, just tell me! If you ask me, what I can do, I will definitely help you!"

Liu Bei was about to thank him, but Zhang Fei's voice rang out loud at this moment: "You occupied my brother's place, but you pretended to be generous! If you sincerely, return Jingzhou to my brother!" As soon as this was said, the atmosphere at the scene became awkward. Sun Jian was upset, but he didn't know what to say for a moment to smooth things over. Liu Bei was angry that Zhang Fei spoke without choice and wanted to scold him. However, at this moment, a woman's angry voice suddenly rang out: "It is clear that you are guilty of handing over Jingzhou to apologize to us, but now you say such words! It's so shameless!"
