Chapter 53 Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and awarded the title of Three Kings. Nanye sent troops to Xiliang 3

According to Zhuge Liang's conjecture, Cao Cao has already had a lot of bad luck, and even if he survived, it would be a great loss of strength. At this moment, Cao Cao is no longer the first enemy of all princes, and Nan Ye is. Zhuge Liang must adjust Nan Ye's position with Cao Cao before, first encroach on Cao Cao to strengthen himself, and then see if there is a possibility of competing with Nan Ye. Therefore, he decided to follow Nanye's strategic intention and focus on Xiangyang. In terms of accurately grasping the overall situation, Zhuge Liang is better than Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su returned to the camp. Lu Su frowned and asked Zhou Yu, "Guanghua and Liu Xuande also want to take Nanjun. What should we do?"

Zhou Yu said confidently, "I only take Nanjun between my fingers, and I promise them to be just a false favor after me."

Lu Su was still worried when he heard the words: "If the governor takes Nan County, he will block the northward path of the national division. What should the national division do at that time?"

Zhou Yu has made a comprehensive plan since he decided to send troops to Nanjun. He smiled at Lu Su and said, "Don't worry about Zijing. Nan Ye will never send troops for no reason. Even if he really comes to attack, we can still use Cao Cao's hand to fight against him.

In Zhou Yu's view, even if Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi, he was still the most powerful prince in the world, and Nanye could only rank second at most. Because of this, Zhou Yu made a completely different choice from Zhuge Liang, which was to continue to complete his strategic goal and hinder Nanye from expanding his strength to the north. His choice is also related to Sun Quan's strength far more than Liu Bei. If Zhuge Liang is in Zhou Yu's position, he may also make the same choice.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was ready, Lu Su stopped talking and summoned the generals for Zhou Yu to discuss the capture of Nan County. Zhou Yu asked the generals, "Who dares to take Nanjun first?"

Jiang Qin made his debut in response: "The last general is willing to go!"

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Gong Yi can be the vanguard, and Xu Sheng and Ding Feng are the deputy generals. I will allocate 5,000 elite military horses for the three of you to cross the river first. Then I led the troops to respond."

However, it was said that Wei Yan and Lu Xun were appointed as the generals of the South County by Liu Cong at the beginning of the war. After Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao was not assured that Liu Cong would be the commander of each county, so he ordered Xia Houde to increase troops to guard the South County. In the first battle of Chibi, Cao's army was in chaos. Cao Chun, Chen Jiao and Cao Ren's generals Niu Jin were all defeated in the South County to defect to Xia Houde.

Xiahou De originally discriminated against the surrendered generals of Jingzhou. As soon as Cao Chun and others came, they did not use Wei Yan and Lu Xun, ordered Cao Chun and Niu Jin as deputy generals, and ordered Chen Jiao to guard Yiling and compete with Nanjun.

Jiang Qin's pioneer horse crossed the Han River, and Xia Houde received the news. Although he did not know the news of Cao Cao's death, Cao Bing was newly defeated in Chibi, and he did not dare to fight rashly, so he said to the generals, "Zhou Yu and Jiang Qin came here taking advantage of the victory. We will stick to it and don't fight."

Niu Jin has always been brave, but unfortunately he can't fight water. Red Cliff was defeated on the water, and Niu Jin was full of fire. At this time, I finally had a chance to fight the land battle and wanted to win back the defeat. So he went out of duty and asked to fight: "It's timid to fight when soldiers come to the city and don't fight. My new defeat is rightly revived. The last general is willing to borrow 500 elite soldiers and fight to the death.

Xia Houde knew that Niu Jin was Cao Ren's beloved general and did not want to refute his face, so he ordered Niu Jin to attract 500 soldiers to fight. Jiang Qin saw that a pout was killed in the city, so he told the young general Ding Feng to do so.

Ding was ordered to fight against cattle and gold in Malaysia. The two fought with knives and guns for less than ten rounds, and Ding was fraudulently defeated and left. Niu Jin bullied Ding Feng when he was young and led the army to chase him into the battle. Ding Feng saw Niu Jin's plan and surrounded Niu Jin in the battle.

Niu Jin rushed left and right and couldn't go out, so he had to work hard. Xia Houde was anxious to see Niu Jin trapped in the city, but he did not dare to fight in the city. At this time, a general left the class and said, "The last general is willing to lead the headquarters to save General Niu."

When Xia Houde heard the words, it was Wei Yan, the general of Jingzhou. Originally, Xia Houde looked down on Wei Yan and other surrendered generals, but at this time, Wei Yan asked for war, which made Xia Houde overjoy and ordered Wei Yan to lead the troops to rescue.

Wei Yan put on his horse, led hundreds of strong men from the headquarters to ride out of the city, and fought hard to fight into Jiang Qin's array with knives. Jiang Qin saw that there was another future in the city to save Niu Jin, so he ordered Xu Sheng to fight.

Although Xu Sheng's martial arts is not weak, he can only rank second-rate. Wei Yan is also a strong man among first-class generals. How can Xu Sheng be his opponent? Wei Yan saw that Xu Sheng was not afraid to fight with a gun and hit it with a knife. Xu Sheng could not resist being killed by Wei Yan to save Niu Jin in the battle.

After Wei Yan rescued Niu Jin from the battle, he turned around and found that there were still dozens of horsemen trapped in the battle, so he turned around and killed him and was rescued by the trapped soldiers.

When Jiang Qin saw Wei Yan bravely blocking his way, Wei Yan and Niu Jin came together to fight against Jiang Qin and killed Jiang Qin. Xia Houde saw Wei Yan disrupting Jiang Qin's formation in the city, so he asked Cao Chun to lead the army out of the city to respond. After a scuffle between the two armies, Jiang Qin was defeated, and Wei Yan returned with victory. Xia Houde was overjoyed and rewarded Wei Yan.

Jiang Qin was defeated and came back to see Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu said angrily, "The first battle is not conducive to my spirit. I should be killed according to military law."

Jiangdong's generals persuaded him, and Zhou Yu was exempted from Jiang Qin's crime and ordered troops to fight against Xia Houde in person. Zhou Tai said, "The south county is high and thick, and the governor should not be careless. Now Xiahou De ordered Chen Jiao to guard Yiling as a horn. If Nanjun can't attack for a long time, Chen Jiao will attack me. The last general is willing to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to take Yiling first, and the governor can safely take the South County here.

Zhou Yu did not expect Zhou Tai to capture Yiling with 3,000 soldiers and horses, but as long as Zhou Tai was restrained, Zhou Yu could concentrate on attacking here, so he ordered Zhou Tai to lead troops to attack Yiling.

There has been a detailed report of Zhou Yu's division of troops to Xia Houde. As soon as Xia Houde heard the direction of Zhou Yu's division of troops, he knew that he was going to Yiling, so he summoned the generals to discuss. Lu Xun said at this time, "If Yiling has lost the South County, it can't be guarded. The general should send someone to save him.

Xia Houde saw Wei Yan's strength and did not dare to underestimate Jingzhou's generals, so he obeyed Lu Xun's plan and ordered Cao Chun and Niu Jin to secretly lead troops to Yiling to save Chen Jiao.

Cao Chun did not enter the city when he arrived at Yiling, but secretly sent people to report Chen Jiao, so that he transferred the grain and grass in the city, and then went out of the city to lure the enemy to fight.

Zhou Tai led his troops to Yiling, and Chen Jiao sent troops to fight. He is a civil official who can defend the city. Is Zhou Tai's opponent in a head-to-head confrontation? Even if Chen Jiao fought with all his strength, he was defeated. At this time, it was more convenient to lure the enemy into defeat. As soon as the two armies came into contact, Chen Jiao led the army away and let Zhou Tai occupy the empty city of Yiling.

Chen Jiao deliberately lost and did not lose many people, and the weight was transported out in advance. At dusk, Cao Chun and Niu Jinbing arrived, and Chen Jiao and the two generals surrounded Yiling and trapped Zhou Tai in the city. Although Zhou Tai got the city, he did not get enough food and grass. Now he is besieged by the army and has to ask Zhou Yu for help.

tan ma and killed Zhou Yu, saying that Zhou Tai was trapped in Yiling City. Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard the news, so he had to divide his troops to save him in person. Chengpu, Ling Cao and other generals led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to continue to besiege the South County.
