Suddenly, the reinforcements of Shu Han suddenly arrived. Du Yu did not dare to neglect them and rushed to retreat to rescue Zhonglu Port! The Shu army warships went upstream, leaving some small boats along the way close to the shore and fired crossbows and stones, making it difficult for the Wei army to pursue along the coast, so they had to take a detour. In this way, the Wei army's return to aid was invisibly a little slower.

Wang Ye, Wen Yang, Wen Hu, He Pan and others in the trap did not need to be ordered by others. Seeing this, they fought bravely and held some of the Wei troops unwilling to let go. The Wei army was eager to turn around and consolidate the siege of Xiangyang, but they were not interested in fighting. The cavalry retreated early, but the remaining infantry were not as sharp as the cavalry when they wanted to retreat. What was the difficulty of leaving?

At this point, anyone knows the intention of the Shu Han navy. The Shu Han generals were originally willing to sacrifice their lives. This time, they saw even more motivation. The lame one jumped and fought with a spear, and the one with a broken hand swung the knife forward bravely, not to mention the other soldiers and generals who were suffering from blood on their backs. No matter who was in high spirits and refused to fall behind.

The matter is prioritized. The battle between the Shu army is responsible for tens of thousands of lives. The trapped in Xiangyang is related to the fate of the Shu Han country. The Shu army who came to aid are very clear, so that it is too big to lose the small. On the other hand, the Wei army was the same. It was a forced one to abandon more than 10,000 troops and fight against the Shu army. Consolidating the Xiangyang defense line and not allowing the Shu army to enter Xiangyang City to rescue Liu Chan was the top priority. Therefore, the Wei army retreated in a hurry.

Du Yu was secretly shocked when he was running along the way. The Shu Han fleet was moving quickly and well-organized. The small warships were equipped with catapults and other objects, and they were obviously prepared. Although there were all kinds of warships, even civilian fishing boats, they seemed to be in a hurry, but in fact they were fully prepared. The Shu army in Jingnan should have few left, but according to the current scale, it was really unusual.

"Could it be..." Du Yu's thoughts flashed, and he suddenly thought of someone, and couldn't help but take a breath!

Seeing this, Wei general Qin Xiu said, "What did the general think of? He was so surprised..."

Du Yu's face darkened and said, "Hmph! Who else can you give such a strategy to Uncle Yang!"

Qin Xiu was stunned when he heard this, "Yang Hu, Yang Xiu and others have rumored that he once vowed not to be enemies with our Great Wei, but now... isn't it..."

Du Yu shook his head and said, "Wu State still existed at that time, and Yang had been favored by the Lord of Shu for several years. How could he speak the same way?"

Qin Xiu frowned and said, "If it is Uncle Yang, you must be cautious in this battle!"

Du Yu smiled bitterly and said, "When I was advancing, I heard that the Lord of Shu was dispatched to guard the south. The Shu army is now very powerful, so it must be the soldiers of the hundreds of barbarians in Hainan. Such strategies can be hidden from the world, but it is difficult to hide from Uncle Yang..."

Qin Xiu changed his mind and said, "Xiangyang City is just around the corner. Even if we come from afar, as long as we wait carefully, we will not be afraid!"

Du Yu thought about it and Qin Xiu's words were reasonable. Although Yang Hu's strategy was not inferior to him, the situation in Xiangfan was settled. How could it be easier to defeat the Wei army in Xiangfan? The Wei army could be delayed, but the Shu army could not wait. He waited for labor and defended the attack. Xiangfan was still quite sure of the victory or defeat.

Nearly 20,000 Wei cavalry were fast, and the sky was clear before they arrived at Zhonglu Port. Seeing this, the magistrate of Zhonglu County hurriedly came out to greet him. His cavalry came in such a large formation, and he didn't know what was going on. When he heard that Shu Han was coming to Zhonglu Port, the Zhonglu defenders could not help but be shocked, but they were quite confident. It turned out that news came from the north bank not long ago at night that Sima Gan led 40,000 troops, and countless military rations and equipment, and was preparing to come to support Xiangfan.

If the Shu army arrives, it will be attacked by the Wei army from both sides of the Yangtze River!

Spy warships were sent here to the downstream coast to inquire about the movements of the Shu army. The cavalry fought overnight and took the opportunity to rest for a while. Unexpectedly, the spies would return after half an hour. The Shu army warships had already landed on the shore in the middle. You should know that the Shu army's naval technology no longer needs to be docked at ordinary ports. As long as the terrain and water level are not very bad, you can land at will!

Yang Hu was also a famous general of the Wei State back then. When it comes to strategy and military strategy, he would praise him three points. Now that he has carefully calculated it, how could the Wei army easily be reported?

Liu Chan was sympathetic to Yang Hu and others, so he handed over the military and political affairs of southern Jingzhou and even the South China Sea to Yang Hu. Before going to Jianye, he even asked Yang Hu to suppress the rebellion of the hundreds of barbarians in the South China Sea and to recruit people who are good at fighting. This move avoided the embarrassment of Yang Hu's fight against Cao Wei, and also allowed Yang Hu to display his talents. Yang Hu was grateful and did his best.

Many of the barbarians in the South China Sea have surrendered to Shu Han, but the barbarians have been taking care of themselves for a long time, and many habits are difficult to change for a while. It is even more difficult to adapt to the fact that they are like Han people. Local officials tried every means to comfort them, but it is still difficult to soothe people's hearts. As soon as Yang Hu gave both kindness and power, the barbarians immediately stabilized.

After hearing the Central Plains War and the situation in Jiangnan, Yang Hu felt that Jingzhou was too weak. If Xinye was lost, Jingzhou would inevitably fall into a place of doom! Therefore, he hurriedly wrote a letter to send people to Jiangnan. Before the letter had been transmitted, Jingzhou had already had variables. When the news was transmitted back to Hainan, it was a while ago. Yang Hu was shocked and hurriedly dispatched troops and generals, recruited ships and craftsmen along the way, and went to Xiangyang to rescue him, but it happened to be a fierce battle today!

The Shu army abandoned the ship and landed on the shore and divided the troops from the middle of the journey, just after the Wei cavalry and before the Wei infantry! Yang Hu led 20,000 barbarians to fight against Du Yu's main force, and the remaining 20,000 people divided into several routes to Xiangyang. Xiangyang was trapped for a long time, and the situation was not clear, and most of the people who went there were elite soldiers and generals.

The formation was well arranged, and the Wei army also arrived. Du Zhou was really the one who was named Yang Hu, and he complained in his heart. He chose to land here, probably because he had intentionally let his own cavalry go. When the cavalry of Wei reacted and fell into the trap, it had already been delayed a lot of time.

Yang Hu slapped his horse and stood proudly in front of the formation, staring at Du Yu with his eyes. Du Yu had no words, and the Wei army took the opportunity to adjust the formation and restore his physical strength. Seeing this, Wei general Qin Xiu shouted loudly: "Uncle Yang, since you have made an oath, why have you violated the oath? No faith or righteousness? Why can you be the chief general of the three armies??"

This sentence was very sharp. If Yang Hu had a person with poor character and no loyalty and righteousness, the Shu army would inevitably suffer a blow. There was also a mystery to yell in front of the formation, but Qin Xiu's move was much more exciting than those insults in the market.

Yang Hu smiled and said, "Good birds choose trees, and virtuous ministers are the masters. This is the common sense of the world. Qin Xuanliang, you are also a minister of the Cao family, why did you work for Sima family to come here?"

Qin Xiu's courtesy name is Xuanliang, and is the son of Qin Lang, a famous general of Wei. He was a colleague of Yang Hu at that time, so he knew him. Qin Lang was adopted by Cao Cao since he was a child and was considered half of the Cao family. Now the Sima family is in power. Although Wei is strong because of this, the Cao clan members are repeatedly excluded and have nothing to do.

"Xiangyang City is broken, and the Lord of Shu has been destroyed. You can surrender quickly!" Qin Xiu knew that Yang Hu was very smart and was so calm that he must have made arrangements for Xiangyang. However, Yang Hu's Shu army seemed to have just arrived after all, and he was still unaware of the war in Xiangyang. Although what he said was a lie, it made the other party doubt.

Yang Hu also praised Qin Xiu as a famous general in his heart. The words in front of the formation made people have to deal with them. No matter who gets the cleverness, the Wei army has some time to recover their physical strength. Such methods are not something that ordinary people can get.

"Hahaha, my lord is wise and far-sighted. Xiangyang's city walls are strong and loved by the people. More than 100,000 troops are mobilized!? The defense of Xiangyang is not a year or two. Your words are even a three-year-old boy who is lying to me. How can I talk about it here? Isn't it a laughing!" Yang Hu knew that in his heart that the best response was lies and exaggerated facts, and it was a reassurance for the Shu army who was unaware of the situation.

"It's useless to say too much, kill!" While Qin Xiu and Yang Hu were bickering, Du Yu secretly ordered everything. He stopped waiting at this time. With a command, more than 20,000 Wei troops shouted loudly and marched very majestic!

The Wei army came over, and the Shu army was not afraid! Yang Hu was surrounded by barbarian soldiers and generals, and he was ready to try. When he saw the Wei army coming, he felt his blood boiling and roaring in different ways. The listener was frightened. The Wei army's commands were neat and uniform, and the voices were trembling. The barbarian soldiers' tweeted in a mess, expressing their intention to fight. The two sides were not distinguished from each other, and they were unable to tell the difference. They demonstrated each other and refused to show weakness. Only their subordinates saw the true seal and determined their life and death!
