Chapter 972 Another Fire

Within the double knife, it is colorful and bright, as if it illuminates the heaven and the earth, and the birds fly up to form a colorful phoenix. As soon as the phoenix appeared, a huge force gushed out in an instant. With the four weapons holding each other, the black and white flames and colorful lights are intertwined, and it seems that the colorful phoenix is fighting with the evil dragon and white elephant.

Dian Wei's arms kept getting bigger, and his muscles and bones seemed to break out, and there was countless blood all over his body. Pan Feng's muscles are still swelling, as if they are about to explode, extremely strong. The two kept fighting hard, and the roar of the dragon and elephant and the roar of the phoenix rose up.

The sky is dark and the thunder is flashing. The land where the two stood suddenly collapsed, as if falling into the ground. Suddenly, Pan Feng's two knives in his hand quickly cracked and suddenly broke. Dian Wei roared harshly, and the power of evil could scare ghosts and gods. The double halberd fell down and split on Pan Feng's chest, bringing out two enchanting blood lights. Pan Feng shouted miserably, and his huge burly body, as if it had been hit by an extremely terrible impact, flew away, rushed out dozens of meters in mid-air, and fell into the Xiangjiang River. Dian Wei suddenly stared at him, picked up Xue Linlin's double halberd, jumped into the river, and quickly swam to the splash in front of him.

At this moment, five or six fast ships came suddenly, and each ship shot arrows randomly. Seeing this, Dian Wei quickly stopped and dived into the water to hide. When Mi Zhu saw Pan Feng falling into the river, he was so anxious that he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to drive the boat away. Seven or eight Jingzhou soldiers jumped into the river and quickly rescued Pan Feng. Mi Zhu hurried to visit him and saw that Pan Feng was covered with blood stains, and there were countless blood mouths, especially two blood marks, which were so ferocious that people couldn't help taking a breath of cold breath. At this time, Pan Feng had fainted. After many days of fierce fighting and physical exhaustion, this steel-like tough man had to fall down. At the same time, Zhang Fei was also rescued by Mi Fang's soldiers on another ship. Zhang Fei did not fight to the death with Xu Chu. Although the injury was serious, he could still maintain his consciousness.

Cao Ren, who was on the other side, arrived with troops. Seeing that Pan Feng and Zhang Fei were rescued on the ship, his face changed dramatically and he quickly ordered the soldiers to board the boat to chase them. As soon as Cao Ren's voice fell, a soldier came in a panic and said in a hurry.

"Report! Most of the ships in the army were transferred by the King of Wei, and most of the remaining ships were forcibly seized by the soldiers and fled to the river to avoid the fire. At this time, there are less than three or four ships left. Is the general still going to chase?

When Cao Ren heard this, the tiger's eyes suddenly stared, and his whole body was like a flame, and he roared with anger. He immediately led Zhang Ao, Yu Jin and other generals and fifty or sixty elite soldiers, boarded four small boats and quickly chased the fleet of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang. After Cao Ren quickly boarded the ship, suddenly Dian Wei rushed over angrily. The soldiers on the ship changed their faces and quickly got out of the way. Dian Wei jumped on the ship and was murderous. At the same time, Xu Chu also boarded another ship. Cao Ren quickly ordered that the ships sail quickly, and the four small boats soared towards the Jingzhou military fleet.

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang saw the Wei army chasing the ship, and quickly ordered the soldiers of the ship to send arrows to stop it. A wave of rapid arrows fell, making it difficult for the four Wei army boats to approach. Cao Ren and other Wei generals set up weapons on each ship to resist. Seeing that the small boats of the Jingzhou Army gradually faded away, they were furious and roared.

And Cao Cao chased Zhuge Liang all the way on the Xiangjiang River and was about to catch up to the river bank. Suddenly, Guo Jia suddenly woke up and said to Cao Cao urgently.

"It's not good! He was tricked by Zhuge Villageman again! At this time, the high mountains where our army is located are covered by fire, and Pan, Zhang and others will take the opportunity to escape. The king transferred a lot of ships, and the soldiers were in chaos. They would definitely grab the boats and flee to the river to avoid the fire. If Zhuge Liang had secretly sent someone to pick it up, I'm afraid General Cao didn't have many ships to use to recover it!!"

When Cao Cao heard the words, a pair of fierce eyes opened wide, so angry that he was like a volcano that was about to erupt. He immediately ordered the soldiers to turn back to the bow. Zhuge Liang stopped the boat unhurriedly and landed on the shore. Seeing that Cao Cao had sailed back, he gently shook the goose feather fan in his hand, his eyes did not ripple at all, and looked at it indifferently and silently.

The sky gradually turned white, and the night faded away. At this time, it was already dawn. On the way back, Cao Cao met Cao Ren's fleet. As soon as Cao Cao saw it, he quickly shouted loudly on the boat.

"Zi Xiao can let Pan Wuhuang and Zhang Yide escape!"

When Cao Ren heard it on the boat, his face suddenly sank and he knelt on the ground. Zhang Ao, Yu Jin and other Wei generals also knelt down one after another and complained about the past and pleaded guilty one after another. When Cao Cao heard the words, he roared angrily and went crazy. The roar shook in the Xiangjiang River.

When he was young, Cao Cao's anger decreased slightly. Guo Jia's eyes were complex, with a little regret.

"Your Majesty, Pan Wushuang and Zhang Yide have escaped now. Our army is empty, and the water of the Xiangjiang River will fade in ten days. At that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist Zhuge Liang's Jingzhou army. Moreover, our army has fought a series of fierce battles, and the Xiangyang war has lasted for nearly half a year. The soldiers are all exhausted. Yan and Xu states have just been stable, and it is not appropriate to hold the war. The king's power withdrew his army and returned, and the squad returned to the court. When the soldiers were refreshed and the food was ready, he would make a plan.

When Cao Cao heard the words, he narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that he had led nearly 150,000 troops, but now there were less than 10,000 left, and his huge anger rose again. Jia Xu and Xun You also came to persuade them. All the generals also knelt down and advised. Only then did Cao Cao stop the restlessness in his heart and ordered the troops to retreat to Fancheng, rest for a few days, and then return to the court.

As soon as Cao Cao's order fell, the sound of drums and the golden sounded immediately sounded. The Wei ships on the Xiang River heard it and quickly gathered together, and the members completed the calibration. The Wei army fleet slowly sailed towards Fancheng.

At this point, the Xiangyang war has finally come to an end. Cao Cao raised more than 150,000 troops at the beginning, and he was in high spirits. Together with the Eastern Wu Sun family, he wanted to annihilate the Jingzhou army led by Zhuge Liang in one fell swoop and attack Jingzhou. Unexpectedly, Sun Ce secretly had an affair with Zhuge Liang, and suddenly abandoned the covenant and attacked the two states of Xu and Yan. The two states of Xu and Yan were almost attacked by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Fortunately, Cao Cao rushed to help in time, calmed down the disaster, and even killed Sun Ce and repelled the Eastern Wu army led by Zhou Yu. Despite this, Cao Cao also depleted a large number of troops, which further damaged Cao Hong, a confidant general.

Later, Cao Cao led his army to Xiangyang and came to rescue Guo Jia's army fighting in Xiangyang. Unexpectedly, Guo Jia had been tricked by Zhuge Liang at that time. In the battle in Xiangyang City, Guo Jia suffered great losses and even lost his legs. If it hadn't been for Cao Cao's timely rescue, I'm afraid Guo Jia would have been defeated by the whole army. After that, although Guo Jia lost his legs and was defeated by Zhuge Liang, he was not decadent because of this. He even thought of a profound plan and hid it from Zhuge Liang, which made 30,000 Jingzhou troops almost drowned under the Xiangjiang River. Pan Feng and Zhang Fei became Wei Jun's chopping board fish. Cao Cao wanted to use this to make Zhuge Liang avoid the mouse, but unexpectedly, when Cao Cao thought he had won his ambition and thought that Zhuge Liang had nothing to do, he would be captured. The change happened again, the east wind suddenly came, and a strange fire rain fell, which caused chaos to the Wei army. Pan Feng and Zhang Fei tried their best to escape. In the end, Cao Cao had to withdraw his army and end the Xiangyang war that lasted for nearly half a year.

After Zhuge Liang picked up the fleet of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang on the shore, he saw that although Pan Feng and Zhang Fei were seriously injured, their lives were fine. Zhuge Liang immediately ordered to withdraw his troops. After Zhuge Liang returned to Xiangyang, the quick doctor came to treat him. He learned that Pan Feng and Zhang Fei only needed a few months of rest, and the injury could recover. When a group of Wenwu in Jingzhou heard the words, they just fell into their hearts.

The passage of time is like a white horse passing through the gap. Half a month later, Zhuge Liang was in Xiangyang and settled all subsequent matters. After Cao Cao withdrew to Fancheng, he had no intention of starting another army. During this time, the two armies exchanged prisoners on the Xiangjiang River. Zhuge Liang exchanged Li Dian and other Wei soldiers for Pan Ping from Cao Cao. After that, Cao Cao rested for a while in Fancheng, and the class teacher returned to the court.

When Zhuge Liang saw that Cao Cao withdrew to Luoyang, he gathered a group of Wen Wu in Jingzhou to discuss in the hall. Zhuge Liang sat in the high hall, and a group of Jingzhou Wenwu saluted. Zhuge Liang's face was indifferent and gently shook the goose feather fan.

"Fortunately, relying on the concerted efforts of all the public, the old thief Cao has withdrawn to Luoyang. In recent years, his troops have been greatly depleted, and it is difficult to start another war in a year, and it will touch Jingzhou. The lord has been away from Xichuan for a long time, and we have also begun to prepare for entering the river. Yizhou is the kingdom of heaven. In the past, Gaozu deserved this blessed land before he was able to build the imperial industry and create the Han Dynasty. If the lord can get the 41 states of Yizhou and gather the people of Jingxiang, he can establish the foundation to seize the world. Immediately, we will join the Sun clan in Jiangdong, the Wen clan in the east of the river in the west, Cao Wei in the northern expedition in the Central Plains, Xu Xu Tuzhi, and the Lord Emperor's industry can be completed!!"

Zhuge Liang's words were full of words, and a group of Jingzhou Wenwu suddenly became proud, and their faces surged with joy. However, Ma Liang frowned and attended to bow.

"That being said. However, the situation is still extremely unfavorable to our army. Although Cao Lao Thief withdrew and retreated, there were still many soldiers under his command in Fancheng, staring at Jingzhou. And although the Jiangdong Sun family had an alliance with our army, they also gathered troops in Changsha and Guiyang, peeping at the land of Nanjun and Jiangxia. At the same time, Wen Bufan also ordered his adoptive brother Xu Gongming to station 30,000 soldiers in the realm of mediocrity, and beware of our Jingzhou soldiers and horses entering Sichuan. These three forces will trap Jingzhou to death. How can we prepare for entering Sichuan!?"

As soon as Ma Liang said this, when a group of Jingzhou Wenwu heard the words, their faces changed, and many people showed their trembling. Hearing this, Zhuge Liang smiled brightly and said without being in a hurry.

There is no need to worry about the season. Cao Cao lost a lot of soldiers and horses. Although he stationed troops in Fancheng, he did not dare to move. As for the Sun family in Jiangdong, Sun Bofu is now killed by the old thief Cao. Jiangdong is in chaos, and people are panicked and careless. Even if our army enters Sichuan at this time, he is powerless to attack Nanjun and Jiangxia. In this way, you only need to leave a brave general to guard Jingzhou, and you can keep it. In the current situation, Cao Wei's military strength is greatly damaged, and the internal situation of Eastern Wu is unstable. It is a good time for us to enter Sichuan. Otherwise, as time passes, both forces will develop strength and regret. As for Xu Gongming, if Liang expects it correctly, it won't take long, and he will definitely withdraw from the state of mediocrity!"

Zhuge Liang was so confident that Ma Liang was surprised. As soon as Zhuge Liang's voice fell, a soldier suddenly came to report in a hurry. It turned out that this soldier was the messenger sent by Liu Bei from Xichuan to return the situation.

At this time, Shi Libi immediately brought out the Xichuan war one by one. It is said that Liu Jiyu is dead and was killed by the northwest general Zhao Zilong. Now all the ministers of Xichuan are sincerely under the command of Liu Bei. Liu Bei did his best to gain the power of Xichuan. With the support of the ministers of Xichuan, he temporarily took the position of shepherd of Yizhou. At the same time, the two armies of Xichuan and the northwest fought a series of vicious battles, and the two armies were extremely depleted. They temporarily stopped the war and returned to Anhan. At that time, Meng, the king of the southern barbarians, rebelled. In order to temporarily stabilize the situation, Liu Bei ceded Zitong and Bazhong counties. At present, Zhuge Liang is about to send troops to Xichuan to rescue and stabilize the situation in Xichuan.

As soon as this report fell, the faces of the ministers in Jingzhou changed, and some were ecstatic and hesitant. When Zhuge Liang heard the news, the smile at the corners of his mouth slowly opened and said in a condensed voice.

"Blessed by heaven, the lord finally won Yizhou. Yizhou is a must-have place for soldiers, and it is not the lord of troubled times. Now as long as the chaos in Yizhou is calmed down, the foundation of the master's hegemony will be completed!"

Zhuge Liang's words were not over, and Sun Qian stepped out and said with a deep frown.

"At present, the master's military strength in Yizhou is meager. Although he tolerates the southern barbarians for the time being and cut off the two counties of Zitong and Bazhong, Nanman is a foreigner after all. The so-called non-our people must be different. I'm afraid that his greed is not enough, and he will soon get involved in the rest of the counties in Yizhou. The military division should send reinforcements as soon as possible and rush to Yizhou to rescue!"

"What Gongyou said is extremely true. The people of the southern barbarians have not always respected the court of the Han Dynasty. Many people do not learn to be kings. They should quickly get rid of it and expel them from the land of Yizhou. But at present, Jingzhou is trapped by many forces, and there is no way at all. I don't know if the military division has a plan?"

After Sun Qian said that, Yi Ji attended the echo. Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry. He gently shook the goose feather fan in his hand and said to the Wenwu under the banquet.

"There is no need to be in a hurry about the southern barbarians. Someone else will drive him away for us."

When Ma Liang heard this, his face was stunned. In addition, he recalled that Zhuge Liang had just concluded that Xu Huang would definitely withdraw from the state of mediocrity. He immediately calculated it and immediately noticed a trace of clues and quickly opened his mouth and asked.

"Champion Hou Wen has always been extremely hateful of aliens, and he wants to get rid of them quickly. In the past, Xi and Bei Qianghu were almost wiped out by the extraordinary. Could it be that the military division expected that Wen Iffan gave up the siege of my Jingzhou in order to attack the southern barbarians, he would transfer 30,000 soldiers and horses of Xu Gongming from the realm of mediocrity!?"
