    Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan and understood what he was thinking.

    He said slowly: "Lord, the terrain of Lexiang is very important and is the most important part of our follow-up plan, so there must be no room for error.

    Although there is not much specific information in Zibu's letter, the possibility of Liu Ke's action cannot be ruled out.

    So the most important thing at the moment is to write a letter immediately asking Zibu to find out the truth, and then immediately mobilize the surrounding armies to take it back.

    And we can¡¯t stay in Zhijiang any longer, we will set off immediately tomorrow morning!  "

    After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he looked at Liu Bei and spoke proactively: "Mr. Xuande, the situation is urgent this time, and many things may not be as discussed just now.

    I wonder what your military¡¯s intention is?  "

    During the time when this happened, Liu Bei had also heard the value of Lexiang from his counselors.

    The fall of the southern bank of the Yangtze River immediately disrupted the overall plans of both parties, so temporary changes were helpless.

    Even he himself can¡¯t blame him too much.

    Therefore, after what happened, there was no need for the two sides to continue talking. After a few hurried explanations, Liu Bei returned to the formation.

    After returning, Liu Bei said solemnly: "Xiaozhi, what do you think of what just happened?"

    Fazheng thought for a moment before finally saying: "Your Majesty, since the other party has told the truth about the situation in Lexiang, he will not hide anything anymore.

    ¡°In this case, let alone us, not even Sun Quan knows everything about what happened over there, so for the current plan, we must first understand the situation.

    But it¡¯s time to end the confrontation with Liu Ke. We will leave directly tomorrow and look for opportunities again!  "

    "Okay! The generals will go back and prepare well, and we will evacuate early tomorrow morning!"

    The next day, Liu Ke's army launched another attack on Zhijiang.

    But because of the discussion between the Sun and Liu families yesterday, the defensive intensity in the city dropped sharply today, and there were fewer defenders outside the city than yesterday.

    The keen Zhao Yun immediately discovered the changes in the enemy's army and hurriedly reported back to Liu Ke.

    At the same time, Liu Ke finally received the news from Ling Tong that he had lived up to expectations and successfully captured Lexiang.

    Liu Ke's face was overjoyed: "Zilong, you can keenly detect the changes in the other party, which makes me impressed.

    In fact, I have already guessed the other party¡¯s reaction.  To tell you the truth, Gongzhi has captured Lexiang, an important town on the south bank of the Yangtze River, according to my arrangements.

    The reason why the other party reacted the way it did today must have received the news and was preparing to withdraw its troops!  "

    Hearing this, the generals immediately said excitedly: "Your Majesty is unparalleled in wisdom, and I admire you. Your Majesty, please make it clear how our army should respond next!"

    Liu Ke smiled slowly and said: "Haha, it's like this now. What else can I say? It's better to chase the poor bandits with vigor and courage, and never let Sun Quan and Liu Bei escape so easily!"

    When the generals heard this, they became even more excited.

    They like this kind of enemy the most. Now that the enemy is just running away, there is no way they will have the will to fight.

    So in their eyes, this is no longer an enemy army, but a naked military title.

    Sun Quan and Liu Bei were doing this very secretly, but they were still noticed by Liu Ke who got the news in advance.

    Although their front army left first, at least half of the troops outside Zhijiang City remained.

    Therefore, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and other generals immediately launched a fierce attack on it.

    Liu Bei's side, Huo Jun, was facing the enemy on the front line today. He originally wanted to quarrel with the opponent and kill time.

    Unexpectedly, Xu Huang's attack suddenly intensified. He was caught off guard and was killed by the opponent, causing heavy casualties.

    Huo Jun tried his best and finally escaped Xu Huang's pursuit and reached the city.

    He quickly sent someone to ask for help from the general Guan Yu who was staying here.

    But Guan Yu was unselfish and replied coldly: "Zhong Miao, don't blame me. It's not that Guan refused to save me. It's just that the king has given an explicit order."

    Now everything is focused on covering the retreat of the main force, and people must not be used up anymore.

    As for you, you can only fend for yourself and cut off the rear for the army.  "

    Hearing this, Huo Jun's face was full of reluctance, but he had indeed been arranged by Liu Bei and could not refute Guan Yu's words at all.

    He could only say in an almost pleading tone: "General Guan, my subordinates must abide by the King's will. But you also saw?

    Our unit was attacked by Xu Huang and suffered heavy losses. If we did not rescue him, we would probably be wiped out.

    The main force is human, but aren¡¯t these soldiers our great athletes in Yizhou?  "

    After Huo Jun finished speaking, his subordinates also echoed: "Please help General Guan! Please help General Guan!"

    Guan Yu has always been kind to his soldiers and proud of his scholar-bureaucrats. If it were anyone else, he might really be indifferent.

    But he was finally moved by the sight of ordinary soldiers pleading.

    Guan Yu sighed and said: "Oh! That's all, General Zhongmiao, you can lead your troops to retreat first. These pursuing troops will be handed over to Guan!"

    When Huo Jun heard this, he was naturally grateful and left quickly.

    Not long after they left, Xu Huang's pursuers finally arrived.

    Xu Huang looked from a distance and saw a general with a long beard and a red face standing proudly in the distance. It was Guan Yu.

    Although he knew he was outmatched, Xu Huang still charged forward resolutely.

    However, the result of the battle is also self-evident. In less than three rounds, Xu Huang fell into a hard fight.

    Guan Yu dared to take over Huo Jun's post, so he naturally relied on his strength.

    But he could deal with Xu Huang's pursuit, but it was impossible to block Liu Ke's entire army.

    When the battle on Xu Huang's side became increasingly unfavorable, Zhao Yun also arrived with his troops.

    He rushed forward to help without hesitation, shouting: "Gongming, there is an enemy three miles east.

    Leave it to me here, you can go over there!  "

    Xu Huang thanked him and set off to chase him without hesitation.

    Guan Yu still wanted to intercept, but was entangled by Zhao Yun, and could only helplessly watch the opponent leave.

    And this also made him finally understand that facing the enemy's multiple armies, he could not stop them all no matter what.

    So Guan Yu can only let others seek their own blessings.

    After blocking Zhao Yun's attack for a period of time, he also began to catch up with the soldiers and horses in front of him and retreated that way.

    At the same time, Sun Quan's army was also facing such a scene.

    Although he left first with Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and others, the following soldiers and horses were inevitably caught up by Dian Wei and Zhang Liao.

    After charging all the way, Sun Quan and Liu Bei's troops suffered heavy losses, and several armies were eventually wiped out.

    Fortunately, after the hard work of his men, they were able to stop Liu Ke's pursuers, cover the army's rapid advance, and finally arrived at the north bank of the Yangtze River.  However, a bigger problem emerged.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
