On the second day of March in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Yu Jin captured Yangchang Ridge.
The last pass to the north of Xiling was broken. From then on, Cao's army could march straight in. In one day, the troops arrived at Xiling County. Liu Hu, the guard of Yangchangling, died in the battle, and the entire army of 20,000 soldiers was wiped out. The fall of Yangchangling also represented the victory of Jiangxia.
The battle came to an end, and Liu Qi was no longer able to resist.
At the same time, dangers in Anlu continued.
Facing Cao Jun's crazy attack, Guan Yu and his son fought desperately to resist.
However, he did not have enough troops. Although Liu Qi entrusted all his 30,000 troops to Guan Yu, they were still far insufficient compared to Cao's army.
Cao Cao personally supervised the battle, with Guo Jiaxunyou as his military advisor, and made many tricks.
After holding on for eight days, the Anlu defenders were showing signs of exhaustion. The loss of Yangchangling not only opened the door to the north of Xiling County, but also made Anlu's army unstable. Once Cao's army captured Xiling, Anlu was bound to
It became an isolated city on the Jianghan Plain. When the time came, Cao's army was surrounded on all sides, and Anlu would be broken... Guan Yu did not dare to hold on anymore, so he led his troops to break out on the fifth day of March, abandoned Anlu and fled to Xiling County. Cao's army immediately occupied Anlu and Xiling.
The gate to the west of the county was open and could no longer stop Cao's army from advancing.
However, at this time, differences arose between Liu Qi and Guan Yu.
Xiling cannot be defended!
This has become a fact.
With the fall of Anlu, Xiling County will be defeated sooner or later. As a result, the counties and towns in Liu Qi's hands will only be Chenxian, Shaxian, Exian, Xiaphean, and Xiajun. According to Guan Yu's wishes,
, we should retreat to Changsha County as soon as possible and deal with Cao Cao.
But Liu Qi doesn’t think so!
He was unwilling to give up Jiangxia and even said that he could join Jiangdong.
Then with the help of Jiangdong, he defended Xia Zhi and Shaxian'e County to stop Cao Cao's progress.
In this way, Jiangdong can be drawn into this war, and at the same time, with Changsha's back, it can also get strong support. Sun Quan's ambitions towards Jiangxia have been around for a long time. Starting from Sun Jian, Jiangdong has been constantly attacking Jiangxia, and what he did was exactly
A springboard to the land of Jingchu.
Now, Sun Quan was hesitant and unable to make up his mind.
Simply use Jiangxia as bait to attract Sun Quan to join the war... Based on Liu Qi's understanding of Sun Quan, it is very likely that he will not be able to resist this temptation.
Only by bringing Sun Quan in can we temporarily stabilize our footing.
However, this takes time, so we must first defend the front line of Shaxian and E County, and then discuss with Sun Quan... If Jiangxia is completely lost, it means that Liu Qi no longer has any capital. Therefore, in this E County, Shaxian, and Xia Zhi
No matter what the four counties of Xiajun say, don't give up, you have to hold on.
However, Guan Yu was an extremely arrogant person.
How could he tolerate Liu Qi and surrender to Sun Quan?
Preserving strength is what needs to be done now. As for Liu Qi's future, how could Guan Yu care? As a result, the two sides had a fierce quarrel, which can even be described as a conflict. Liu Qi insisted that Sun Quan should surrender; while Guan Yu insisted,
He wanted to lead his troops to withdraw to Changsha. The two sides couldn't argue for a while, so they had to send people to Changsha to ask Liu Bei to make a decision, and then make a decision.
But this time again and again...
The news of Xiajun's fall was not yet known to Guan Yu and others.
So they didn't even know that the messenger they sent was killed in Xiajun, and the letter they sent to Liu Bei was seized by Cao Peng.
On March 10th, after occupying Anlu, Cao Cao suddenly launched an attack on Xiling County.
Guan Yu and Liu Qi responded hastily, and under the fierce attack of Cao's army, they finally withdrew in embarrassment and fled south... It stands to reason that after Cao Cao occupied the county of Jiangxia, he should have taken a rest, but continued to pursue. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao won Xiling, but he did not stop.
, immediately ordered Yu Jin, Xu Chu and Zhang He divided their troops into three groups to pursue Liu Qi and Guan Yu.
"From now on, without military orders, the three groups of soldiers and horses must not fear the battle, stop pursuing, give up the attack, or stop moving forward for any reason."
The issuance of this order also showed Cao Cao's determination.
He would never give Liu Qi and Guan Yu any chance to breathe. So, three groups of soldiers and horses pursued them. Guan Yu and Liu Qi just arrived at the river. Before they could take a breath, Cao Jun came after them from behind. There was a fierce battle in the north of the Yangtze River. Liu Qi and
Guan Yu was defeated again. The two lost contact in the rebellious army and went their separate ways. Guan Yu fought his way out and took the remaining soldiers to cross the river to escape.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they crossed the river, they received news: Sha Xian was lost!
Liao Hua led his troops to defend Shaxian for ten days. Finally, they could not withstand the fierce attack of Cao's army and the city of Shaxian was destroyed.
Xu Huang led his troops to ascend first and occupied Shaxian; Cai Mao, the navy commander, led the navy eastward and approached E County... Liao Hua led his troops to flee to E County and met up with Guan Yu who had just crossed the river. Well.
Now, the total strength of both sides is still more than 8,000, and E County is adjacent to the river, so it is dangerous to defend. According to Guan Yu's intention, he is to stay in E County to find out Liu Qi's whereabouts before making a decision...
However, Liao Hua disagreed.
"Your Majesty, no!"
When Guan Yu followed Liu Bei and served Yuan Shao, he was worshiped as Han Shoutinghou by Yuan Shao.
Although this title was not recognized by the imperial court, Guan Yu was quite in favor. Hearing Liao Hua's objection, Guan Yu frowned, his face sank, his eyes narrowed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Why does Yuan Jian object?"
"
Yuanjian is the pseudonym of Liao Hua.
He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, now that Sha Xian has been defeated, Cao Cao's navy relies on the convenience of Jingzhou's navy, and no one can stop it on the river. If you stay in E County, I'm afraid it will be delayed... Just imagine, Xu Gongming
He is Cao Cao's favorite general and is very knowledgeable about soldiers. If he leads his troops to sneak attack Xiajun and cuts off our retreat, then even if we join forces with the eldest son, we may not be able to return to Changsha."
"this……"
When Guan Yu heard this, he frowned.
What Liao Hua said is not unreasonable. If you stay here, I'm afraid it will make the situation more dangerous.
"But the whereabouts of the eldest young master are unknown..."
"Your Majesty, in the current situation, even if we find the eldest son, what benefit will it have to the overall situation? Besides, Cao's army is fierce and the eldest son is in poor health. How can he escape? In my opinion,
Now the eldest son has either died in battle or been captured by Cao's army. If we wait like this, it will be of no use at all. We might as well... If the prince misses the eldest prince's comfort and becomes willing to stay in E County, on the one hand, it can stop Cao Jun and order the prince to
Withdraw to Xiajun; secondly, you can also contact the eldest son and inquire about his life and death.
Your Majesty, you must not hesitate any longer.
If you stay one more day, you will be in greater danger. It is better to rush to Xiajun as soon as possible.
If Shaxian is lost, the Jingzhou navy can arrive at E County at any time to support Cao's army in crossing the river. It may not be easy to evacuate at that time."
What Liao Hua said made sense, and Guan Yu nodded repeatedly.
He hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: In that case, I will leave two thousand soldiers and horses with you, and I will go to Xiajun first. Yuan Jian does not want to fight to the death. If nothing can be done, he will immediately retreat to Xiajun. Three
Days, three days at most, don’t delay for too long, lest you get trapped in a tight siege.”
Guan Yu originally planned to withdraw to Changsha, but had little interest in holding on to Jiangxia.
After discussing with Liao Hua for a while, Guan Yu led his troops to leave E County and went straight to Xiajun...
At the same time, Liu Bei, who planned to send troops to meet Jiangxia, suddenly encountered a fierce attack by Cao Jun. Xun Yu personally supervised the battle and ordered Pang De, Huang Zhong and others to jointly attack Yiyang. At the same time, Xun Yu ordered Du Ji to lead the navy to attack Luo
The movement in the direction of the county forced Taishi Ci to lead his troops back to Luoxian County to prepare for the battle. Lingyang Wenpin captured Weishan Mountain and approached Chongxian County. At the same time, Sha Teng, the old man of Wuxi in Hutou Mountain, announced that he had surrendered to the imperial court and was willing to lead Wuxi.
The barbarian army came out of the mountain to settle down. Jiang Wan immediately took over the matter and ordered people to build a city in the Hutou Mountain area to facilitate the Wuxi barbarians to come out of the mountain to live. In this way, Wei Yan was able to escape... He led eight thousand soldiers and horses (
Among them, there were three thousand people (a gift from Sha Teng, the old king of Wuxi Man), who falsely claimed that ten thousand people were marching towards Yiyang. For a moment, there was a roar of wind and cranes under the city of Yiyang, and the grass and trees were all covered with soldiers.
This time, Cao Jun really wanted to attack Yiyang.
Liu Bei had no choice but to give orders to resist Cao Jun's attack with all his strength... At the same time, he ordered people to go to Jiangxia to try to mobilize troops and horses to return and hold on to Changsha.
On March 13, the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Jun borrowed the help of Cai Mao's navy to cross the river.
Xu Huang sent troops from Shaxian and advanced to the gate of E County. Liao Hua only held on for one day, but he could no longer hold on, and finally had to open the city and surrender.
E County, lost!

Xiajun, Fengcheng Ridge.
Cao Peng rode up to a high hill and looked into the distance.
But seeing smoke and dust billowing in the distance, it seemed that a large group of men and horses were approaching Xiangjun. He did not show any panic, but turned around and ordered: "Give me an order, the three armies are hiding and not to move lightly. Without the order from the head, you can't attack without permission.
We can’t even let the treasure be leaked.”
Kou Feng stood on his horse and accepted the order with his hands raised.
Immediately, Cao Peng rode down Gaogang and led his troops into Fengcheng Ridge, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
It has been half a month since we occupied Xiajun. As the war in Jiangxia developed, the situation became increasingly clear... When Guan Yu led his troops to retreat across the river, Cao Peng knew that a fierce battle was inevitable. However, he was not too worried. With his
The strength of the troops in hand, coupled with the previous preparations, were enough for him to hold on to Xiajun for ten days. In ten days, Cao Jun would be able to climb over even if he crawled, so what would he have to worry about?
At the same time, Guan Ping led the advance army to reach the foot of Fengcheng Ridge.
Looking from a distance, one could see that the top of Xiajun City was silent, and not a single person could be seen.
A large banner was fluttering on the top of the city, showing a look of solemnity. Guan Ping reined in his horse and looked at it with his sword across, a look of anger flashed across his face.
He immediately rode on horseback and came to Xiajun City.
"Is there anyone in the city?"
After a long while, a soldier came out weakly and asked, "Who is under the city?"
The emperor's uncle has issued an order to close the city and prevent other people from passing through."
"Damn thing!"
Guan Ping was furious and yelled: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly who I am?"
"I don't care who you are... Without the order of the county magistrate, we have no right to open the city."
"I am the second general, Guan Ping, son of Hou Tinghou of the Han Dynasty. I immediately asked Liao Zhong to come over and talk to me."
On the top of the city, the soldiers were visibly startled, then showed a look of horror, and apologized repeatedly: "Young Master, please calm down, I don't recognize you... Wait a minute, I will go and report to the county magistrate."
After saying that, the soldier shrank his head and disappeared.
Guan Ping's restless mood was relieved.
He turned his horse back, looked at the exhausted soldiers, and said: "Give me the order, let everyone hold on for a while, we are about to enter the city, and then everyone can have a good rest and have a good meal. When we arrive at Xiajun,
There is no danger anymore, so don’t be too nervous.”
It was when this order was issued that the soldiers and horses, who were tired but still somewhat vigilant, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After a long journey, not to mention the approaching pursuers, the soldiers were already overwhelmed and extremely exhausted. They were just holding on for a breath, so they were able to hold on. Now after hearing what Guan Ping said, many people went to the roadside.
Once I sit down, I never want to get up again.
It’s finally safe!
On the top of the city, Fazheng stood under the flag gate, quietly observing the condition of Jiang Xiabing.
When Guan Ping gave the order, a strange smile flashed across his face. He turned around suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Send the order, beat the drum!"
Liu Cong immediately nodded and raised his hand to wave.
In an instant, at the silent head of Xiajun City, the drums were beating loudly...goo-boom! One hundred big cowhide drums were beaten at the same time, and two hundred shirtless men waved their drumsticks and beat the war drums. The sound of the drums was like thunder, resounding throughout the world.
Guan Ping at the bottom of the city was waiting for Mr. Liao to appear. Unexpectedly, drums were beating suddenly at the top of the city. He was startled. He quickly turned back to build an awning and looked up to the top of the city. He saw the previously empty city gate.
, countless soldiers suddenly poured out. There were many banners, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds reflected the cold light under the sunlight.
what happened?
Guan Ping was startled and was about to speak.
But I heard a cold voice coming from the top of the city: "Fire the arrow!"
In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired.
Guan Ping was so frightened that he quickly blocked the attack with his sword and retreated repeatedly.
He secretly screamed something bad, and was about to order his men to fight. But he heard a soldier beside him suddenly shout in a trembling voice: "Young Lord, Cao Jun!"
ah?
Where?
Guan Ping quickly turned around to look around, only to see a group of men and horses suddenly appear from Fengcheng Ridge on one side.
Rushing out of the bushes and woods, carrying swords, shields, and short bows, they rushed down the mountain roaring. The official road to Xiajun was built at the foot of Fengcheng Ridge. Many soldiers had just relaxed and were sitting on the ground.
Rest. The sudden appearance of the enemy also caught the soldiers by surprise.
Especially after this moment of rest, when the soldiers picked up their swords and guns again, they found that the swords and guns had become extremely heavy...
Cao Peng sat astride a liger, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, leading the way and charging into the enemy's formation.
But when he saw him dancing the animated pole halberd, Fang Tian's painted halberd was like a giant axe. Wherever it went, Jiang Xia soldiers were killed and fled with their heads in their arms, with no intention of resisting. Behind him, Kou Feng and Wen Wu were on the left and right, closely following each other.
Then came Cao Cao's army, which had been recuperating for a long time. Like wolves and tigers, they broke into the rebel army.
When it comes to military strength, the two sides are actually about the same.
However, Cao's army was waiting for work, but Jiang Xia's soldiers were exhausted.
They retreated all the way from Xiling and were pursued relentlessly by Cao Jun, with almost no rest. Although they took a short rest in E County after crossing the river, it was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the exhausted Jiangxia soldiers. Especially from
E County retreated and marched all the way in a hurry, which made the Jiangxia troops and horses even worse. Now that they had a rest, instead of relieving their fatigue, they became even more tired. Many people could not even pick up their weapons, so they were killed.
The oncoming Cao Jun shot him to the ground.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. After three rounds of arrow rain attacks, Cao Jun abandoned his bow and drew his sword and entered the battlefield.
Kou Feng was separated from Cao Peng in the chaos of the battle. However, he did not panic at all. Instead, he slapped his horse and wielded his sword, rushing left and right, as if there was no one in the desert.
"Kou Congzhi!"
Just when the bandits were about to rise, someone suddenly heard someone shouting his name.
In a hurry, he turned around and followed the sound, only to see Guan Ping emerging from the crowd with a big knife and rushing towards him...
Mentioning Kou Feng, Guan Ping couldn't help but grit his teeth.
When he first planned to conquer Xiangyang, how could he have failed if Kou Feng had not suddenly surrendered to the enemy? Guan Ping had always been hostile to traitors, not to mention that Kou Feng once worshiped Liu Bei as his adoptive father. Speaking of which, at the beginning, the relationship between Guan Ping and Kou Feng was still very serious.
The intimacy. Regarding everything that happened to Kou Feng at that time, Guan Ping also felt that it was unfair to Kou Feng... But injustice is unfair, but it does not mean that Guan Ping can forgive Kou Feng for what he did.
The so-called enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Guan Ping recognized Kou Feng among the rebels and became furious.
He rushed forward with his sword and aimed his sword at Kou Feng. Kou Feng hurriedly responded and raised his sword to meet him, but he was almost hit by Guan Ping's sword.
In terms of martial arts, Kou Feng is not as good as Guan Ping.
After all, Guan Ping is Guan Yu's eldest son. Although he was separated from his father when he was young and did not receive the true inheritance, he worked extremely hard on weekdays.
Guan Ping also learned 40 to 50% of Guan Yu's skills, and he can be regarded as a first-rate general.
"Kou Feng, if you betray your master as a slave, you won't die."
Guan Ping cursed loudly, which immediately made Kou Feng furious.
Don't you, Guan Ping and Guan Tanzhi, know about what happened in Xinye and Fancheng? Now you are scolding me for betraying the master... When did Liu Xuande treat me as one of his own again? Yes, in your eyes, I, Kou Feng, am just one
House slave! In this case, don't blame me, Kou Feng, for being ruthless.
Each has his own reason, and Kou Feng greets them with his sword.
The two of them were circling, and after fighting for more than ten rounds, Kou Feng became a little unable to resist.
With a feint, he turned his horse and was about to be defeated. But how could Guan Ping let him go? Guan Ping shouted loudly, urged his horse to catch up with Kou Feng, suddenly stood up on the horse, and slashed with his sword.
Kou Feng was just about to block, but Guan Ping's sword suddenly changed and he swiped forward... It was this swipe that determined the winner. Kou Feng screamed and was split in half by Guan Ping's sword.
, the body fell off the horse.
Although Guan Ping won, he didn't feel any joy at all.
Just as he was about to turn the horse's head, he heard the sound of the horse's bell ringing behind him. A long roar like a dragon's roar echoed over the battlefield, and the liger roared, making thousands of horses frightened. Although Guan Ping's mount
Not bad, but it is an ordinary war horse after all. Hearing the roar of the liger, Xi Yuyu was so frightened that he hissed and knocked Guan Ping off the horse to the ground. Guan Ping was thrown dizzy and his helmet was crooked.
His armor was tilted. The big knife in his hand flew to nowhere... He shook his head and struggled to get up from the ground. But before he could stand firm, he saw a majestic tall horse already in front of him. Immediately
The general was none other than Cao Peng... Guan Ping was so frightened that he shivered and turned around to run away.
Cao Peng lightly stretched his ape arms on his horse, stretched out his halberd with a painted pole, and used a blue dragon style to probe his claws, and slashed towards Guan Ping...
