After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Lu Meng shook his head: "Although there are only 5000 soldiers and horses in Guan Yu's camp at this time, these [-] people are all people who can go to death with him. If Cao Ren is attacked, the old troops will cooperate with him inside and outside. If they attack Chong'an County, they will be defeated in one battle. city!"

Ling Tong and Pan Zhang sank one after another.

Lu Meng said: "Our army has to wait now, wait for Guan Yu to attack, I will see if he bites Cao Ren or attacks me!"

"Yes!" The two generals clasped their fists in gestures, and then withdrew from the central army tent.

Lu Meng remained motionless in Chong'an County.

Cao Ren sat in the back and watched the tigers fight, frantically recruiting Guan Yu's old troops.

A few days later, Lu Meng suddenly received the news.

Liu Bei personally led [-] elite troops to attack Jiaozhou, and at this time he was attacking Yulin County.

This news immediately made Lu Meng restless.

The Jiangdong generals in the big tent were restless.

Ling Tong was the first to speak: "General Bu Zhi only has more than 8000 defenders in Jiaozhou, and he will never be able to stop Liu Bei's onslaught!"

In order to defeat Guan Yu and take back Jingnan Second Commandery.

Lu Meng also chose to take the risk.

Only [-] soldiers and horses were left for Bu Zhi to guard Jiaozhou.

He personally led [-] elite soldiers into Jingnan.

As long as he is given another half a month, he will definitely be able to kill Guan Yu.

Now Liu Bei's sudden onslaught made Lu Meng confused.

Pan Zhang was puzzled and said, "Great governor, Cao Cao is looking down on Liu Bei, how dare Liu Bei attack me in Jiaozhou?"

Lu Xun said: "This is a strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao!"

Lu Meng said: "This must be Zhuge Liang's conspiracy!"

"Yangmou?"

All the generals were puzzled.

Lu Meng said: "Once our army retreats, Liu Bei will definitely withdraw his troops and return to Nanzhong to resist Cao Cao, but once our army retreats, Guan Yu will have a way out!"

Ling Tong hurriedly clasped his fists together: "Governor, I have a strategy. I will send a letter to Cao Ren. Tonight, the two armies will attack Guan Yu to death. At dawn, our army can withdraw to Jiaozhou!"

Lu Meng shook his head: "Cao Ren will not send troops without authorization!"

Lu Xun said: "It's better to send a letter to Cao Ren and tell the truth. Asking him to take over Chong'an County and continue to besiege Guan Yu is my Jiangdong's favor to Cao Cao!"

"Hey!" Lu Meng nodded, "It's the only way to go now!"

Chapter 346 Cao Ren picks up again, Huang Zhong persuades Guan Yu to surrender

That night, Lu Meng's letter was sent to Caoren Camp in Hengyang County.

After Cao Ren got the letter, he immediately summoned Gan Ning.

"Xingba, I have a heavy responsibility entrusted to you!"

Gan Ning clasped his fists together: "Please show me, General!"

Cao Ren nodded and handed Lu Meng's letter to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning was shocked when he saw it: "Lü Meng wants to retreat?"

"That's right!" Cao Ren nodded, "He stabbed Guan Yu in the back, and now Liu Bei stabs Lu Meng in the back. If Lu Meng doesn't withdraw from Jingnan, his death will be worse than Guan Yu's death!"

Gan Ning asked, "Does the governor mean that you want me to lead troops to garrison Chong'an County?"

"Exactly!" Cao Ren nodded, "After the third watch, you lead [-] troops to bypass Guan Yu's camp and take over Chong'an County!"

"Obey!" Gan Ning gestured with his fists in his hands.

At the third watch of the night, Gan Ning led 1 troops out of the camp.

A detour came to Chong'an County.

After notifying the name, the other party immediately opened the city gate.

Gan Ning entered the city, only to find that Jiangdong's army had retreated more than half.

Only Ling Tong was behind.

As the saying goes, when enemies meet, they are particularly jealous.

Ling Tong's father, Ling Cao, died at the hands of Gan Ning.

The reason why Gan Ning voted for Cao was that he was squeezed out by Ling Tong.

Ling Tong asked the other party: "General Cao Ren sent you to take over Chong'an County?"

Gan Ning asked Ling Cao back: "The governor sent you to be the last one in the city?"

"Hmph!" Ling Tong snorted coldly, "If Liu Bei hadn't attacked Jiaozhou, Guan Yu would have died at the hands of Jiangdong!"

"Haha!" Gan Ning laughed loudly, "If King Wei hadn't captured the city in Yizhou, where would it be your turn in Jiangdong?"

"You?" Ling Tong was furious and drew his sword on the spot.

Gan Ning also drew his sword, "If you don't let the city go, I'll take it with blood!"

Ling Tong didn't kill him because he knew that he didn't have as many troops as Gan Ning.

At this time, the two families should not be against each other.

"Gan Xingba, remember, if there is a battle between Jiangdong and Cao Cao in the future, I will kill you!" Ling Tong put away his sword and led his troops to leave immediately.

Gan Ning also put away the sword, and said loudly: "You also remember, I, Gan Xingba, can kill your father as well as you!"

Ling Tong was full of anger, and left Chong'an County in a hurry.

At dawn, the banners on the top of the city changed.

The news spread to Guan Yu's camp.

Guan Yu himself let out a long breath.

Order the army to continue to hold out until the day before the food and grass are exhausted.

In Jingzhou, after Cao Cao learned that Liu Bei had attacked Jiaozhou, he quickly took Jiangyang County.

Then the soldiers divided into two groups.

A group of people led by Cao Cao personally attacked Zhuti County.

The other route, led by Zhang He and Gao Shun, with Pang Tong as the supervising army, attacked Yuexi (guī) county.

Nanzhong city wall is dilapidated, far less solid than Yizhou.

What's more, Liu Bei is in Nanzhong, and Ma Chao sticks to Nanning County in the rear.

However, after three days of fierce attack, Zhuti County was breached.

Guard Chen Dao led his troops to flee into Nanning City.

As Cao Cao broke through Zhuti County, Pang Tong also used tricks to take down Yueyi County.

Take Jiangyang County without any effort.

Now it is the second county of Nanzhong.

Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed.

Set up a big banquet to reward the whole army.

The generals were all smiling, pushing cups and changing cups constantly.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao received a letter from Cao Ren.

After reading the letter, Cao Cao immediately discussed with Liu Xian.

Cao Cao said: "Lü Meng retreated to defend Jiaozhou, and Liu Bei will inevitably return to defend Nanzhong. How should our army respond?"

Liu Xian smiled: "Wei Wang can order Cao Ren to quickly persuade Guan Yu to surrender, and then counterattack Lingling and Guiyang two counties!"

Cao Cao frowned: "It is reasonable to persuade Guan Yu to surrender, but wouldn't it be inappropriate to counterattack Lingling and Guiyang counties? After all, Jiangdong respects the imperial court!"

Liu Xian waved his hand: "King Wei, do you still remember how Lu Meng captured the Jingnan Second Commandery?"

Cao Cao said: "Lu Meng lured the defenders of the two counties to surrender on the grounds of recovering their status!"

"That's right!" Liu Xian said, "He took back Jingnan Second Commandery from Guan Yu, but Jingzhou is originally a territory of the imperial court. Is it wrong to ask for it back?"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Well said!"

Liu Xian added: "Once the two counties of Jingnan are recaptured, the army will be able to cooperate with one army, but no matter whether they attack Nanzhong or Jiaozhou, they will all look forward to it!"

"It makes sense!" Cao Cao nodded, and asked Liu Xian, "Will Guan Yu really return to surrender again?"

Liu Xian said: "The King of Wei sent someone to make an agreement with him for three chapters first, and then persuade him to surrender with three sentences!"

"Three chapters of the agreement?" Cao Cao shook his head, "Aren't we going to let Guan Yu go again in the future? What's the use of him?"

Liu Xian smiled: "Don't be in a hurry, King Wei, just wait for me to come slowly!"

"Yeah!" Cao Cao nodded, "Then tell me!"

Liu Xian said: "The first sentence, if Guan Yu dies, he will betray Liu Bei and Zhang Fei!"

"En!" Cao Cao nodded.

Liu Xian added: "The second sentence, if Guan Yu dies in Jingzhou, he will be ridiculed by the world for thousands of years, and the world will only remember that Guan Yu, who shocked China, lost to the Jiangdong rats!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Guan Yu is so arrogant, he is absolutely unwilling to seek death like this!"

Liu Xian continued: "The third sentence, if Guan Yu surrenders to the imperial court, Guan Yu can follow the imperial court to attack Jiangdong, avenge his shame, and then find an opportunity to defect to Liu Bei!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly: "If Guan Yu helps me defeat Jiangdong and is willing to vote for Liu Bei, I will never stop him!"

"Wei Wang is wise!" Liu Xian gestured with his hands clasped.

Cao Cao said again: "Who should be sent to persuade Guan Yu to surrender?"

Liu Xian said: "You can send Huang Zhong there!"

"Yeah!" Cao Cao nodded, wrote the letter overnight, and sent someone to Jingzhou quickly.

Cao Ren was shocked when he got the letter.

"General, what order does King Wei have?" Huang Zhong asked Cao Ren.

Cao Ren said: "The king of Wei taught the method of persuading Guan Yu to surrender, and then plotted Lingling and the second county of Guiyang!"

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Huang Zhong was puzzled: "Jiangdong is allied with the King of Wei, and taking advantage of the danger to attack the second counties at this time?"

"Big mistake!" Cao Ren taught Huang Zhong a lesson, "These two counties were originally Jingzhou's territories, which were taken by Guan Yu earlier. Isn't it reasonable for our army to claim them back now?"

"En!" Huang Zhong nodded: "In this way, it is indeed reasonable!"

"Haha!" Cao Ren laughed, and handed the letter to Huang Zhong: "I will leave the matter of persuading Guan Yu to surrender to you, and the method of persuading Guan Yu is in the letter!"

"Obey!" Huang Zhong cupped his hands, took the letter and withdrew from the Chinese army tent.

Early the next morning, Huang Zhong led [-] soldiers to Guan Yu's stronghold.

Seeing Huang Zhong coming, Guan Yu personally led the troops out of the stronghold.

Huang Zhong said, "Yun Chang, how are you doing these days?"

Seeing that Huang Zhong was not hostile, Guan Yu let go of his vigilance: "Han Sheng, what's the purpose of coming here?"

Huang Zhong smiled: "I think Yun Chang knows what I mean!"

Guan Yu said, "Could it be that you are here to persuade you to surrender?"

"Exactly!" Huang Zhong nodded.

Guan Yu shook his head: "Stop talking in vain, Guan Yu would rather die than surrender to Cao Cao!"

Huang Zhong laughed loudly: "Yun Chang is indeed loyal. The King of Wei has ordered you to come down to the court temporarily. After you help the court break Jiangdong, you can go and stay as you like!"

"Oh?" Guan Yu was very surprised.

Huang Zhong said again: "If Yun Chang is unwilling to surrender, he will die in battle in Jingnan. To the emperor's uncle, it is treachery. In the future, the world will only know that you died at the hands of Jiangdong rats!"
