Adou who can afford it

Lejin, who was short in stature, stood on the city wall, his eyes just looking beyond the female wall.

Although he was short in stature, the fierce aura on Le Jin's body was almost to the point where the living should not be approached.

In the years of war that followed Cao Cao, Le Jin often charged at the front of the team as a pioneer warrior, killing countless enemies and being wounded, and there was no skin on his body.

"Guan Yu is leaving. General, can we pursue it?" asked Deputy General Lu Chang with an eager gaze at Le Jin.

Le Jin shook his head: "When I got the military order, I was determined to defend Xiangyang." The lord didn't let me judge the situation and attack Guan Yu.

Lu Chang hurriedly said: "But general, Guan Yu's siege of Xiangyang was originally a bluff to attack Jiangling, and if he withdrew at this time, there must have been a change in Jiangling, maybe Jiangling has been captured by Liu Bei." At this time, if Guan Yu's thousands of people can be destroyed, Liu Bei has few soldiers, and he will definitely not be able to hold Jiangling.

Le Jin still said: "The order I got is to defend Xiangyang, if I attack, it will be disobeyed."

Lu Chang was speechless, there really wasn't much he could do about the chief general who admitted death like this.

It is precisely in this way that Cao Cao appointed Le Jin as the vanguard, and Le Jin took the lead to kill the enemy, never retreated, never complained, and never failed.

Even Cao Cao sighed several times, this person's death is too good, and he has repeatedly killed the enemy first, but he is only injured, and he never lacks arms or legs.

Guan Yu raised the army and walked away, and the marching speed maintained the speed of marching forty miles for an hour, not too fast and not too slow, so that he continued to move forward for three hours, Guan Yu ordered the whole army to rest temporarily.

Liao Hua came from the rear army, and he was also responsible for sweeping the tails, if there were some tails behind, the soldiers under Liao Hua would need to clean them up.

"How?" Guan Yu asked when he saw Liao Hua.

Liao Hua dismounted and knelt on one knee: "General, Cao Jun didn't even send a scout.

Guan Yu sat on the stump of the tree on the side of the road, bowing his head slightly, but it was not surprising, but Zhou Cang, who was carrying the knife for Guan Yu, sighed: "Le Wenqian, this person is too admitted, there are only 5,000 of us, can he chase and kill him, it seems that he was scared by Jun Hou in Dangyang a few months ago, and now he doesn't dare to go out of the city." "

Let Zilong and Sufi return to the team. Guan Yu said to Liao Hua.

"The last general will immediately send a messenger. "

The original plan was to come in and chase Guan Yu, Guan Yu ambushed the five thousand Sufi and Zhao Yun's one thousand cavalry, as long as the battle between Lejin and Guan Yu's headquarters occurred, the five thousand troops of Sufi came over, and Zhao Yun's cavalry pressed the formation, annihilating the pursuing Cao army in one fell swoop, if the Cao army pursued more troops, Guan Yu could still take Xiangyang after the victory, but Guan Yu met Le Jin this time, and Le Jin was not fooled.

After resting for half an hour, the army continued to set off, and in the evening, Zhao Yun and Sufi's team caught up with Guan Yu one after another.

"Zilong, your cavalry is in the front, and the front is about to enter the territory of the county. Cao Ren's rout should be on this route, and we should be able to run into it if nothing else. You can handle it up front. Guan Yu said to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun took the cavalry to patrol outside day and night to deter Cao Jun, his face was tanned, and he was a little emaciated, but he also looked extremely energetic.

"Good. Do you want me to send someone to investigate?" Zhao Yun asked.

Guan Yu shook his head: "I have already asked Liao Hua to send someone to investigate, Zilong, your thousand men and horses are very important, and it is not appropriate to be tired."

Cao Ren was about 5,000 people behind him, and he fled from Jiangling City in a panic overnight and ran out of dozens of miles, seeing that Liu Bei did not send chasing soldiers behind, Cao Ren ordered the whole army to slow down and start a slow march.

At the same time, Cao Ren sent more than a dozen scouts to Xiangyang and Jiangxia to deliver letters, asking Lejin and Wenpin to send troops and horses to help him.

"General, Guan Yu is surrounding Xiangyang, we can't go in the direction of Xiangyang, we should change the route immediately. Niu Jin's face was extremely haggard, and he said anxiously to Cao Ren.

Cao Ren said angrily: "Don't I know? If we don't go

to Xiangyang, where will we go? How will we cross the Han River?" Chen Jiao said beside him: "It is very likely that we will encounter Guan Yu's army when we go to Xiangyang, and with our current morale, we will be defeated if we encounter Guan Yu." It is better for the general to find a place where the water of the Han River is relaxed, build a pontoon bridge, and cross the Han River and we will be safe.

"Now that the water level of the Han River is dropping in autumn, it is indeed feasible to build a pontoon bridge. But the pontoon bridge has been built for a long time, if we are caught up by Liu Beijun and we have our backs to Hanshui, have you ever thought about the final end?" Cao Ren asked.

The crowd was speechless.

Man Chong walked over and said to Cao Ren: "Go to Lankou, where the river is narrow and the water is gentle, and now in late autumn, there are some places in the river that are enough to wade across the river." "

How do you know?" Cao Ren asked.

"Last year's autumn, I led the army to pass by Lankouju. Full of pets.

Cao Ren was still not at ease, and decided to send scouts to investigate first.

On the other hand, the army was repaired and scouts were sent to investigate whether Liu Beijun had caught up within a radius of twenty miles.

"Where is Li Tong buried?" Chen Jiao asked, looking at Man Chong.

Manzhong's eyes were gloomy: "When I cross the Han River, I will send the ashes of the dimension back to his hometown."

Cao Ren's mood was also extremely uncomfortable: "20,000 athletes followed me to guard Jiangling, thwarted Zhou Yu's spirit, and even caused Zhou Yu to die under the city of Jiangling, but now only thousands of people have survived, and my crime is also!" "

General, it is not easy to defend Jiangling for a year and thwart the Sun-Liu coalition army. Under the city of Jiangling, Zhou Yu died, which is not easy, and the general is invited to mourn. Chen Jiao persuaded.

"It's hard to hide a big defeat with a small achievement, and this loss of more than 10,000 people is really a big loss.

Seeing that Cao Ren's tone was decadent, Man Zhong had lost his will to fight, and said dissatisfiedly: "There are still 5,000 soldiers who promise the general with their lives, and they beg that the general can take them to cross the Han River alive and return home, if the general is so decadent, it is better to surrender to Liu Bei directly with these brothers, so that the brothers can have a way to live!"

Cao Ren raised his head and looked at each other angrily when he heard this: "Man Boning, do you think I dare not kill you?"

Now that I care about Jiangling's gains and losses, you behead me full of favor, can you Cao Ren survive?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Chen Jiao and Niu Jin hurriedly pulled the two apart, when is this, if Cao Ren's real head is faint and the full favor is beheaded, the soldiers brought over by the full favor of the 5,000 defeated army are afraid that they will mutiniate directly, so they don't want Liu Bei's army to attack them, and they and others will be wiped out if they attack each other.

Moreover, although Cao Ren supervised the military of Jingzhou as a general of Zhengnan, he had no fake festival in hand, and he could not kill such a general as Manzhong, if he really killed Manchu, he would return to Xudu even if Cao Cao protected him, but for the sake of the overall situation, Cao Ren would never be used by Cao Cao even if he did not die.

Chen Jiao is a long history, is Cao Ren's right-hand man, he is responsible for the logistics affairs in Jiangling City, without Chen Jiao, Cao Ren is not so easy to face the siege of the Sun-Liu coalition army, and Chen Jiao's long history is assigned by Cao Cao, and he has a bit of the responsibility of supervising the army both openly and secretly, so his words still have some weight for Cao Ren, Chen Jiao pulled the angry Cao Ren aside: " General, it is not without some truth in the words of full favor, now the hope of thousands of soldiers to live is on you, you must not let these people lose their lives in Jingzhou, general, you have to take them home, if you are decadent and lose the will to fight, the already low morale will be lost, once there is the slightest change, how can we deal with the enemy? General, please think twice.

Cao Ren snorted coldly: "When I return to Xudu, I must settle accounts with him."

Man Chong didn't care what Cao Ren thought of him, until Lankou gathered, the two never met, Man Chong just stayed in the rear army to urge the soldiers to speed up the march.

Lankou is a small village, where the people live on the Han River and make a living from fishing, and when the people see the dense army coming towards their village, more than 100 people in the village have fled into the mountains with food.

Cao Ren naturally didn't care about these escaped villagers, and personally stood by the Han River to check the river, and saw that many places in the river were exposed reefs, and saw that the water was gentle, so Cao Ren took off his boots and decided to wade to see the water potential of this section of the river himself.

Several personal soldiers supported Cao Ren, all the way to the middle of the river, the deepest water is only as high as a person, Cao Ren returned with great joy in his heart, and hurriedly surveyed the best section of the river for the army to cross.

"If you can cross the river without having to build a pontoon bridge, it saves a lot of time. Cao Ren said to Chen Jiao.

"I've ordered people to cut down trees and move stones to fill the river, and I'm in time. Chen Jiao said.

Niu Jin said: "Sharpening knives is not a mistake for woodcutters, and those slightly deeper waters are filled with stones and wood to allow soldiers to cross the river faster." "

Not only the generals rejoiced, but the soldiers also rejoiced, as long as they crossed the river, they were safe for the time being. It is unlikely that Liu Beijun wants to catch up.

A steady stream of trees were cut down, and the soldiers did not go far to carry stones for convenience, but chose to demolish the village houses near the Han River, carrying clods of earth and stones to fill the river.

The people in the mountains watched the houses where their ancestors lived by the river in the distance being demolished, and they could only watch this scene with tears in their eyes.

Within half an hour, the deep water was filled, and Cao Ren saw this, and hurriedly ordered to start crossing the river.

The ground began to shake, and Cao Ren, who hadn't paid attention to the dynamics of the scouts half an hour ago, looked in horror at the direction where a dense knocking sound was coming out.

"Why didn't the scout report it!" Cao Ren's eyes widened angrily.

"It seems like there hasn't been a scout for half an hour, and we've all forgotten. Niu Jin said timidly.

Cao Ren took out the knife on his waist and said to Niu Jin: "Follow me to meet the enemy!" Niu Jin grabbed Cao Ren: "

General, how can there be anyone with you to meet the enemy." Hurry up and cross

the river!" Cao Ren raised his eyes and looked around, and when the sound of the cavalry's rushing vibration came, countless soldiers rushed towards the river, not caring at all about the orders of the superior officers, no matter how the officers shouted and reprimanded, these soldiers turned a deaf ear, and rushed into the river like crazy, running towards the opposite bank, and at this time their eyes were on the opposite bank.

"It's over!" Cao Ren roared angrily, and let his own soldiers carry him and start crossing the river.
