Xiangyang, the governor's mansion.m.

Zhou Yu held a bamboo paper in his hand, but his mind was completely out of the bamboo paper. Lu Bu and Huang Zhong led his army to station outside Xiangyang City for a month, but in the past month, he has not attacked the city and has challenged in the future. Even if they go out of the city to drown, they will not respond.

It seems that he wants to trap himself here. As for what purpose, Zhou Yu already has a guess in his mind.

"Brother Gongjin!" Sun Yi came in from outside the door with two hammers, frowned and looked at Zhou Yu, "It has been more than a month, and I won't beat you. When will we wait here?"

"Shubi is a little restless!" Zhou Yu shook his head and looked at Lu Meng beside him and said, "Lu Meng, go and prepare."

"Uh... Governor, what should I prepare?" Lu Meng was stunned when he heard this and asked in confusion.

"Get out of Xiangyang!" Zhou Yu said word by word. This decision was obviously a bit difficult for him, but in the current situation, the reactions of Lu Bu and Huang Zhong made Zhou Yu have a bad premonition that Xiangyang could not stay anymore, and he must meet with Sun Quan as soon as possible.

"Here!" Although he didn't understand very well, Lu Meng didn't ask much, and quickly retreated after giving a slight salute.

"No more fight?" Sun Yi said a little unhappy.

"It's not that I won't fight, I'm afraid there's a big battle to fight!" Zhou Yu sighed quietly, hoping that this time, he could save the territory where he came from, the generals and the four counties of Jingnan. Only in his hands could Jiangdong have a chance to turn things around. Judging from the performance of Lu Bu and Huang Zhong over the past month, the other party was clearly delaying time and not leaving. Once the imperial army arrived, they would be attacked from both sides. Even if it was Xiangyang City, facing the endless weapons of the court, Zhou Yu could not guarantee that he could support Sun Quan's army to integrate the army to aid.

Jiangdong is not Yuan Shao, but he can't stand a big defeat!

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu looked at Sun Yi and said, "Shubi, you promise me that you must not be impulsive no matter what. You must obey my command. Even if Lu Bu provoked you, you must not fight!"

"Why?" Sun Yi frowned.

"No reason, I forgot what your brother said during his lifetime?" Zhou Yu said with a straight face.

"I understand." Sun Yi agreed in a depressed manner, ignored Zhou Yu and went straight out.

Looking at Sun Yi's back, Zhou Yu sighed, hoping that it would be too late. As long as Sun Quan can take Jiangling, the purpose of sending troops this time will be achieved. It is not unacceptable to give up Xiangyang. It is just a pity that there are 30,000 Jingzhou horses in Xiangyang. If he wants to break through, he will not be able to take so many troops with him.

That night, Lu Meng prepared his troops and the Xiangyang defenders followed Zhou Yu's command and the three thousand soldiers and horses that followed Zhou Yu quietly opened the northern gate of Jingzhou late at night. In order to avoid meeting the imperial army, after leaving the northern gate, they did not take the main road, but bypassed Jingshan, preparing to bypass the imperial army and go directly to Jiangling.

The next morning, Lu Bu received the news that the scouts who were responsible for patrolling outside the north gate last night did not return all night. They went to search for them today, but found that all the scouts were destroyed.

The troops on both sides were equal, so Lu Bu and Huang Zhong naturally could not run to the besiege. They just arranged sentry detectives around them to monitor the enemy's every move. The night patrol was naturally weak, so that Lu Bu did not receive the news until dawn.

After Lu Bu received the news, he immediately ordered his troops to go out of the camp and came to the city of Xiangyang. However, at this moment, the head of Xiangyang City had changed the flag. The flag that originally represented Jiangdong was re-planted with the dragon flag representing the Han Dynasty. However, unlike the black dragon flag of the Han Dynasty, the dragon flag of Xiangyang City was dark red, representing the flag of Jingzhou.

"What's going on?" Huang Zhong frowned.

Zhou Yu did not answer, rode his horse to the city, raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji, and shouted sternly: "Let Zhou Yu come out to see me!"

At the top of Xiangyang City, Cai Mao appeared on the female wall and bowed to Lu Bu and said, "General Lu, Zhou Yu had led his troops to leave last night. Now Jingzhou has been taken over by our army. Thanks to General Lu for his help, but..."

"Keep the city!" Lu Bu looked up and his gaze fell on Cai Mao.

Even though the two sides were more than a hundred steps away, Lu Bu's eyes glared at this moment, which still made Cai Mao's scalp numb. He had heard that Lu Bu could actually compete with the little monster Jiangdong. This was no longer a human being. He really didn't have the courage to face Lu Bu's anger at such a close distance.

Unlike Sun Yi, Lu Bu's magic shot is famous all over the world. Cai Mao felt the urge to be like a dog. Why would you ask me to let out anger if someone ran away? But he didn't dare to say this in front of Lu Bu, so he could only hold his fists and smile: "Wen Hou, this... Xiangyang can help you to escape, but we should invite you into the city, but now the people in the city have just experienced war and cannot be scared. This imperial soldier...Wen Hou, don't be impulsive."

Halfway through his words, he saw that Lu Bu had already taken off the iron bow from the horse's back. Cai Mao's souls were all exposed, and he didn't care about his image and lie on the ground.

"Swish~"

"Boom~"

As soon as a shrill roar sounded, Cai Mao felt the clarification and shocked. The city wall above his head was shattered half by Lu Bu with an arrow. The gravel hit his body, causing Cai Mao to hurt all over his body. He wanted to curse, but he dared not speak, for fear of angering Lu Bu.

"I don't want to repeat the second time. Open the city quickly. Otherwise, even if you hide in the city tower, the next arrow will kill you!" Lu Bu snorted coldly, and shot another arrow, but this arrow was not as explosive as the previous arrow.

"Swish~"

Cai Mao's whole body became cold, and a piece of arrow rod had already rushed out of the city wall, less than an inch from his nose.

Countless war horses rushed past their heads. Cai Mao wanted to cry at this moment, but who did he provoke whom? He just sent away a demon god. He originally thought that Xiangyang City could at least be calmed down, but as a result, he was going to dismiss the generals promoted by Zhou Yu, and was subjected to fierce resistance. The morale of the army was not stable yet. Now another demon god has come.

"Wen Hou is waiting for you, I will open the door for you!" On the city wall, a soldier threw away his weapons and came to the winch that controlled the suspension bridge, and moved the winch.

"What are you doing?" A general drew his sword and snatched it up angrily, and was about to cut off the things that were scattered inside and outside.

"Swish~"

The sound of sharp arrow breaking through the air was heard, and the general had no time to react, so he was shot through his head by a sharp arrow, and the huge force directly nailed him to the wall of the city tower.

"Whoever moves will die!" Lu Bu snorted coldly, with a violent murderous intent in his voice.

For a moment, Cai Mao was re-arranged as a general and was about to show his loyal general's expression changed one by one when he heard this, and he was silent and did not dare to make any moves.

Huang Zhong rushed forward and said loudly: "Don't worry, all the soldiers, Jingzhou is the ruler of the court. His Majesty was originally planning to let the second prince Cong continue to take charge. Unfortunately, Xiangyang changed its lord overnight, which made His Majesty very suspicious of the ability of the senior officials of Jingzhou. In addition, the second prince was young, and the emperor's uncle Liu Biao could not bear to separate his flesh and blood. He hoped to recall the second prince. Don't worry, everyone was doing things for the court. As long as everyone did not do anything to rebel, our court's troops would definitely not be violated after entering the city."

Lu Bu groaned and said nothing more. He watched the suspension bridge slowly fall and the city gate was slowly opened. Cai Mao wanted to stop him several times, but every time he wanted to speak, he felt a sharp murderous intent falling on him. After seeing Lu Bu's sharp shot, Cai Mao did not dare to take any action. He could only watch the soldiers promoted by Zhou Yu betray him without hesitation. He secretly hated him, but he could do nothing. Until the city gate opened, he finally closed his eyes in pain. From today on, Jingzhou has nothing to do with them.

"Wenpin, Liu Pan, Liu Hu!" Huang Zhong sat on the horse's back and said in a deep voice.

"The last one is here!" Wen Pin, Liu Pan and Liu Hu stepped forward and bowed.

"Enter the city immediately, gather some old subordinates, and also post a notice to relieve the people, so that the people should not be nervous." Huang Zhong said in a deep voice.

Lu Bu didn't care about these things. The troops here were brought by Huang Zhong, so he had no right to mobilize them. After talking to Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong would take over the city as soon as possible, and he took the eighteen cavalry to the governor's mansion. He wanted to inform Liu Xie of the matter as soon as possible. Zhou Yu had left and would probably meet with the main force in Jiangdong. He didn't know Liu Xie's specific plan, but Liu Xie said it would take time. Now he has dereliction of duty, so he is not in a good mood.

Jiangxia has now re-planted the Han flag. Since she had decided to annex Jingzhou, Liu Xie naturally could not have been unprepared. As early as when Huang Zhong sent troops, Liu Xie had already begun to coordinate and mobilize troops to gather in Nanyang. Therefore, after Lu Bu heard the news, Liu Xie immediately took Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Taishi Ci and Ma Chao on the road. After arriving in Nanyang, he immediately raised an army and ignored Xiangyang. Instead, he went straight to Suixian and used troops to Jiangxia.

Although Zhou Yu also made preparations and left enough troops, Jiang Xia did not resist for long before he was occupied by Liu Xie. During this period, Liu Xie was pacifying the people's hearts and setting up beacon towers along the river. Once he found that the Jiangdong fleet wanted to cross, he would intercept it immediately. Unfortunately, all he brought were infantry troops this time, and the imperial navy would have to wait for a while to come.

In the government office, just after the discussion with the generals was over, Liu Xie was about to rest when he suddenly turned his eyebrows and asked Wei Zhong to stay outside the door, closed his eyes and concentrate. The next moment, he had already appeared on the sea of ​​luck.

"Your Majesty, Bu is in vain!" Lu Bu bowed to Liu Xie and said ashamed.

"Zhou Yu ran away?" Liu Xie thought for a while, and it seemed that this was the only possibility. Liu Xie did not believe that Zhou Yu would fight back. Lu Bu and Huang Zhong were all soldiers, so it was not easy to defeat them. Zhou Yu was in Xiangyang, and he was not superior to the right time, place, and people were not easy to make a surprise plan.

"Yes." Lu Bu nodded silently.

"It's okay, I'm ready here. In three days, I will cross the Han River and attack Jiangling. You can hand over Han Sheng and order Han De to stay in Xiangyang. You and the two of you lead the army south and join the army in Jiangling." Liu Xie said with a smile.

"Here!" Lu Bu said after bowing again, "Then... I will take my leave."
