When Huo Jun turned around, he turned out to be his good friend Xiang Lang. Xiang Lang was about 40 years old and was born into a large family in Yicheng County. He was a famous person in Jingzhou. He was over ten years old and became a teacher in Sima Hui. He became a famous talk in Jingzhou.

Xiang Lang was also Kuai Yue's confidant. He was the first to be Kuai Yue's job. He was appointed as the county magistrate of Linju County a year ago and had a good relationship with Huo Jun. During the great split in Jingzhou two months ago, he also resigned from the position of county magistrate and followed Huo Jun to retreat to Xiangyang.

It was also because of Kuai Yue's departure that he had no way to comply. In addition, he had a bad relationship with Cai Mao, so he refused Cai Mao's appointment and lived in seclusion in Xiangyang City. He often came to organize the military affairs of Xiang Lang.

Today he came to find Huo Jun and happened to meet Huo Jun and was worried. Huo Jun was anxious. Suddenly, he saw Xiang Lang. He immediately grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly invited Xiang Lang into the tent.

"Brother Juda came by a coincidence. I was about to send someone to find you. Please sit down."

Xiang Lang sat down and smiled and said, "I came here for no coincidence. Who can feel at ease with the appearance of Jiangxia warship?"

Huo Jun sighed, "The Jiangxia army sent five warships. I think this is not as simple as demonstrating to the Cao army. I'm afraid the Jiangxia army will seize Xiangyang."

"Don't Zhong Miao know that Liu Jing is already leading his army to attack Longzhong?"

Huo Jun was stunned, "Brother Juda said it is true."

Xiang Lang nodded, "The news should be accurate. I heard that Xu Huang had sent someone to ask Cao Ren for help again, but Cao Ren was confused. On the one hand, it was difficult to explain to Cai Mao, and on the other hand, it was also heard that the army of Nanjun appeared in Ping'an Town, and the situation became complicated."

Huo Jun pondered for a long time, and suddenly he looked up and said to Xiang Lang: "Brother Juda, Jiangxia is already the orthodox of Jingzhou. As a minister of Jingzhou, I should be loyal to the governor of New Jingzhou. I plan to surrender to Duke Jing. I don't know if Brother Juda thinks it is wise."

Xiang Lang smiled slightly, "If Zhong Miao had this intention, I might as well contact Mr. Jing for you."

Huo Jun was overjoyed and quickly got up and gave a deep bow, "Please give me everything to Brother Juda."

At this moment, a soldier rushed to the door panting and said, "Report to General Huo, General Cao has led his army out of the city. Lieutenant General Cai asked General Huo to discuss."

Huo Jun and Xianglang looked at each other. The situation was urgent and there was not much time left for them.

...........

Although the arrival of the Nanjun army gave Cao Ren a hint of luck. Perhaps he could save Xiangyang in the chaos, Cao Ren could not bear the pressure of Cao Cao's order to withdraw his troops and the urging of Xu Huangci's sending people to ask for support, and finally withdrew his troops.

In addition to Cao Ren's withdrawal, Cai Mao also led 5,000 Jingzhou troops to withdraw his troops with Cao Ren. After all, the Cai family was the first family in Jingzhou, and Cao Cao did not give up Jingzhou, so Cai Mao could not be abandoned. In addition to Cai Mao, Cai He also withdrew his troops.

Cai Zhong, Zhang Qu, Huo Jun, and 15,000 troops were left behind in Xiangyang City. Cao Cao immediately appointed Cai Zhong as the captain of Zhongwu and the title of Marquis of Yiting, and ordered him to be fully in charge of Xiangyang.

On the top of Xiangyang City, Cai Zhong looked at Cao Ren and led 5,000 troops westward. Cao Ren's words were still echoing in his ears. You can temporarily guard Xiangyang. After a certain assistance to Longzhong, the army will return together.

Cai Zhong's eyes were full of contempt and sneer. Did Cao Ren really think he was an idiot and even said such words. What about Zhongwu's lieutenant and Yiting Marquis, all of whom were seeing her mother's ghosts. This was clearly a posthumous title given to him.

"Brother, it's not that I'm not kind, but that you're unrighteous first." Cai Zhong gritted his teeth and his eyes were full of hatred. Compared to Cao Ren, he hated his elder brother Cai Mao even more. Cao Ren was just acting on orders, but the elder brother betrayed himself directly.

At this time, Zhang Qu asked worriedly, "Fourth Brother, what should we do?"

Cai Zhong sneered, "Don't worry, there is no end to the world. I'll find someone to invite Huo Jun, let's take a total of the bill."

The two came to Cai Zhong's tent. Cai Zhong took a book from the table and handed it to Zhang Qu and smiled and said, "This is the list of wealthy families in Xiangyang City. There are 85 families in total. Since they are gone, we will be rich at the moment."

Zhang Qu took the book and flipped it out. Although it was a chance to get rich, he was more concerned about his withdrawal. He threw the book on the table and sighed: "Tell me, let's go back, I want to know where the world is."

Cai Zhong smiled in a silence, "Aren't the army of Nanjun in Ping'an Town? Let's sell Xiangyang to them, and we can definitely sell it for a good price."

Zhang Qu's eyes suddenly lit up. He also knew that Cai Zhong would not surrender to Liu Jing. Surrendering to Nanjun was a good way. He suddenly remembered something again and frowned and said, "What should Huo Jun do? What will he do with us?"

"Hmph, if he doesn't want to give him a face, then kill him with one knife." Cai Zhong said viciously.

At this time, soldiers came from outside the tent to report: "General Huo is here."

I saw Huo Jun lifting the curtain and walked in quickly, "What's wrong?"

Although Cai Zhong was promoted to lieutenant and was granted a title, he did not dare to be condescending. After all, Huo Jun's army was his own subordinate, and it was not his turn to Cai Zhong to issue orders.

Cai Zhong sighed and said, "Tell General Huo a bad news. Now we are the only ones in Xiangyang City."

Huo Jun widened his eyes and pretended to be surprised and said, "What's going on?"

Zhang Qu next to him said, "It's very simple, we have been abandoned, General Huo, let's discuss retreating together."

While saying that, Zhang Qu covered the list of big investors with a piece of paper. He glanced at Cai Zhong. Cai Zhong understood what he meant and should not tell Huo Jun in advance. If he disagreed, everyone would have a stumble, and that would not cooperate.

Cai Zhong laughed dryly again and said, "I'm not hiding General Huo. We plan to bargain with Nanjun. I don't know if General Huo is willing."

Cai Zhong did not finish his words, but the meaning behind it was self-evident. Huo Jun pondered for a long time and sighed: "I am from Zhijiang, Nanjun, and it is my dream to be able to return to my hometown."

Huo Jun gave Cai Zhong a deep tribute, "Huo Jun is willing to follow Cai Duke"

...........

Tanxi is about six miles away from Xiangyang City. It is a medium river about five or six meters wide. It originates from the Jingshan Mountains in southern Xiangyang. It is composed of countless streams, winding and flowing, and pours into the Han River in Xiangyang.

From Xiangyang to the west, there was a total of official roads, which were correspondingly bridges, two miles apart. When Cao Ren led an army of 10,000 to spread across Tanxi, the bridge became deserted.

However, the bridge was deserted for less than half an hour. As an army of thousands of people arrived quickly, the bridge across the river suddenly became lively.

He was the general of Su Zhi from Wuchang. Su Zhi was the younger brother of Su Fei. He was the Ya General under Huang Zu, and was promoted to Sima of another department. He was under Gan Ning. He arrived from Xiangyang Wharf under Gan Ning, demolished the Tanxi Bridge and cut off the retreat of Cao's army to return to Xiangyang.

"Demolition of the bridge immediately," Su Zhi said loudly.

Thousands of soldiers immediately split up and ran towards the bridge. Su Zhi immediately spitted his gun and watched the soldiers demolish the first bridge, and looked up from time to time.

The surroundings were very deserted. Originally, this area was a densely populated Tanxi Township, with seven or eight miles. With the Cao army's two trips south, most of the people in each village fled. There was no pedestrian in the long run, and there were no boats in the river.

At this moment, there was a riot in the south and countless soldiers fled. Su Zhi was stunned and shouted loudly: "What happened?"

"General Su, an army came to the south"

Su Zhi was shocked and looked south with his hand curtain. He saw dust flying. An army was rushing toward him for a moment. He rushed to the front of him. He was holding the Green Dragon Crane Blade under the general's crotch, which was Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang.

Guan Yu's horse was fast and a gust of wind rushed to Su Zhi. Su Zhi couldn't resist it. Guan Yu raised his sword and slashed Su Zhi's head with a knife. The war horse died tragically and fell to the ground. He overturned Su Zhi to the ground and rolled out more than a meter away.

Su Zhi was so shocked that his face was pale and he stared at Guan Yu blankly. Guan Yu pointed at the tip of his knife and shouted sternly: "I won't kill you, you can retreat quickly."

Su Zhi suddenly realized that the general in front of him turned out to be Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, who was famous all over the world. A cold sweat broke out from his back and ran away without saying a word. The rest of Jiangxia soldiers followed him to flee north.

The soldiers of Nanjun shouted to pursue, but Guan Yu raised his hand to stop him. He led a thousand troops to seize the bridge of Tanxi and blocked the Cao army and Jiangxia army from Longzhong to return to Xiangyang.

But Guan Yu was not stupid. He knew that he would never have a life-and-death hatred with Liu Jing now. He restrained the murderous intent in his heart and saved the life of the Jiangxia general.

However, on the other hand, Guan Yu also admired the military advisor's guess that the enemy was as good as a god. The Jiangxia army really rushed to cut off the Cao army's rear.

Guan Yu looked at the bridge and had two of them demolished, and there was still one left. He was a little worried. What if Cao's army or Jiangxia army really retreated from Longzhong again, should this bridge be demolished?

At this time, Guan Yu's general Zhou Cang said: "General, maybe Cao's army will not come back, but Jiangxia army may come back, so it's better to tear it down."

Guan Yu nodded. Judging from the overall situation, it is indeed unlikely that Cao Ren will come back, but Cao's army will withdraw, and Liu Jing will definitely come back. He waved his sword and ordered: "Demolition of the bridge."

Guan Yu said to Zhou Cang again: "You can lead a thousand troops to ambush on both sides of the bridge. If the Jiangxia army returns, you can ambush them. At the same time, you must notify me immediately."

"The last one will obey the order"

After Guan Yu finished the arrangement, he shouted to the remaining two thousand soldiers: "Line in line toward Xiangyang City."
