"Okay, please let the envoy tell your Majesty that the general is aware of it.
Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I assure you, General, that there will be no loss in Jingzhou.
This Yangzhou, this general will also be presented to His Majesty as a congratulatory gift for his enthronement!"
Under Liu Bei's eight-hundred-mile rush, Guan Yu, who was in Yangzhou, quickly got the news from Yuzhou, and at the same time, he also got Zhuge Liang's judgment.
In this regard, Guan Yu could only ignore it.
I have already lost everything in Yuzhou, what else can I do?
If we return to the army at this time, whether we can capture Yuzhou or not, all the efforts we have made in Yangzhou have been completely in vain.
You know, the destruction of Gan Ning's 100,000 naval troops caused Guan Yu heartache for a long time.
Yes, Gan Ning's remnant army has found the location of Guan Yu's army, and Guan Yu also knows about the destruction of his navy.
This really gave Guan Yu a blow in the head.
No matter how he thought about it, he would never have imagined that the Jingzhou Navy, which was so arrogant on the river, would disappear at the drop of a hat.
Now there are less than 30,000 of the 100,000-strong naval force left, and there are no warships left.
This is really equivalent to being completely destroyed.
At the same time, precisely because of the destruction of the navy, Guan Yu's original plan of advancing both by land and water could no longer be implemented.
Now, there are only two choices before Guan Yu.
Or they could return to Jingzhou, give up the Yangzhou territory they had conquered before, and return to a state of confrontation with the Chu State.
Or, just fight to the end and continue to attack Yangzhou.
With Guan Yu's character, he naturally chose the second option without any hesitation and remained firm to the end.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with Guan Yu's choice.
But it was because of Lü Meng's appearance that he conquered Yuzhou.
This completely caused Guan Yu to fall into passivity.
Now through the information sent by Liu Bei, Guan Yu also knows that there is no problem with Zhuge Liang's judgment, and it is even very likely that Lu Meng will attack Jingzhou directly as Zhuge Liang expected.
But the principle is the same.
Guan Yu now cannot retreat at all.
If we retreat at this time, we will only lose troops and generals in vain, and give the Chu State Yuzhou for no reason.
"Instruct the entire army to launch a general attack at dawn tomorrow.
No matter how much it costs, we must defeat this Shouchun!"
Only by capturing Shouchun and completely cutting off the communication between Chu and Jiangnan could Guan Yu keep his victory.
At that time, whether it continues to attack Yangzhou or occasionally returns to rescue Jingzhou, it will have the strategic initiative.
Nowadays, both Guan Yu and Lu Meng are just fighting for the strategic initiative position in time.
Shu said, Shouchun.
"Damn it! Is Guan Yu crazy? He is just taking people's lives now!"
Seeing that the Han army was like dumplings in the water, being continuously shot down from the ladder by its own soldiers, but still attacking madly without any lull, Zang Ba became anxious.
Today, there are less than 50,000 defenders in Shouchun City. They were besieged by Guan Yu before, but they didn't care because of the high walls of Shouchun City.
But today, Guan Yu went crazy and ordered his subordinates to attack violently, and the Chu army gradually became unable to resist.
Based on the current situation, Zang Ba knew in his heart that Shouchun would be captured by this crazy Han army if he could not hold on for a few days.
"General Zangba! As Yi Sheng expected, Marshal Lu must have put enough pressure on Guan Yu in Yuzhou, otherwise this guy wouldn't have gone so crazy.
As long as we resist for a few days, the situation will definitely turn around."
It is different from the pessimism of Zangba.
In Xu Sheng's view, what happened to Guan Yu just proved that Lu Meng's army had achieved something, and made Guan Yu feel the pressure.
"How can I not understand your words?
But the problem is! When you look at the Han army, it looks like they are desperate for their lives.
With the reserves of materials in Shouchun City, we are afraid that we will have to use them to fight naked in three days!"
Zangba also understood what Xu Sheng said.
But now Shouchun simply does not have that many arrows, rolling logs and other defensive materials to resist the crazy Han army.
Don't wait for the good news from Lu Meng, but you will die for your country first.
That would be a tragedy.
"General Zangba, it's not like we don't have reinforcements right now!
The south gate of our Shouchun City is not far from Feishui.
As long as we can contact General Zhou Tai's navy, we can definitely send the navy to Feishui to support Shouchun City!
At the very least, it can alleviate the defensive pressure on the south gate and even the east and west gates."
!!!
Zangba, who was still depressed at first, suddenly became energetic when he heard Xu Sheng's words.
What a brilliant idea!
Unexpectedly, this guy has such a flexible mind?
Damn it, why are you so smart, and you were able to fall into Guan Yu's scheme before, and even fell into Yu Jin's trap?
But how did the Zangba know? Previously, Xu Shengzheng was so clever that he was misled by his cleverness.
It was precisely because of Mrs. Cai's unclear relationship with her overlord that Xu Sheng lost his vigilance and thought only about making meritorious deeds, so he lost tens of thousands of troops and deceived Yu Jin into a trap.
Bao's traitorous minister.
Seeing hope, Zang Ba swept away his previous decadence, went to the front line in person, and decisively rushed to the south gate to stop the enemy.
As for why he wanted to go to the South Gate?
Just kidding, if you want to send someone out to ask for help, don't you also have to go to the south gate, which is closest to land and water?
Only by repelling the enemy forces at the south gate can we have a chance to send out reinforcements, right?
"Report! General Yu Jin, the Chu army's south gate suddenly increased its troops in large numbers!"
The person responsible for attacking the South Gate was Yu Jin, whom Zang Ba had never forgotten.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Yu Jin knew that the Chu army was bound to take some action.
Are you planning to repel my siege army first? Or are you planning to break out and ask for help?
"Go to the Central Army quickly and tell General Guan that there is a change at the South Gate, and ask General Guan to send troops to support immediately!"
No matter what the Chu army planned, Yu Jin did not intend to give him the slightest chance.
Now, he has no way to turn back, so he can only completely destroy the Chu army and the Chu country.
Only in this way can you prove that your choice is correct.
But just as the messengers were leaving, the south gate of Shouchun suddenly opened.
"kill!"
"Charge with a certain family! Kill the Han army!"
In order to allow the envoys seeking help to successfully break through, the Zangba simply opened the south gate and directly attacked the Han army who was still attacking the city.
This, however, completely disrupted the unprepared Han army's position.
No matter how they thought about it, they would never have imagined that this Chu army would dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight.
"Damn it! We can't let the Chu army escape alone!"
Seeing the Tibetan Ba who personally led the army to break out of the encirclement, Yu Jin, who knew his identity, already knew.
This must be a breakout, so that the envoy can ask for help!
If Zang Ba had chosen another direction, Yu Jin wouldn't even bother to pay attention.
But since you chose the south gate, Yu Jin will naturally not give in.
