"However, the only border between Wu and Han is Yong'an. Its terrain is so dangerous that even a million-strong army cannot attack it against the current."

"Moreover, the Wei thieves themselves cannot be protected now. If Wu and Han are at odds with each other, Wu will lose a lot of assistance and it will be difficult to get it back from the Wei thieves."

"So now we can only take it down and continue to unite with the Han Dynasty to destroy the Wei Dynasty." Lu Xun said so much in one breath, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiangyang is the barrier of Jingzhou."

"After the destruction of Wei, Wu faced Han. If there was no Xiangyang, there would be no way to defend Jingzhou and lead the generals. This is a battle for the fate of the country!"

Having said this, Lu Xun had already spoken sincerely.

Bu Zhao was finally no longer silent:

"I know what the general said. If this is the case, then I will follow what the general said and continue to return to the north."

When Lu Xun heard this, he was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Bu Zhi:

"If Xiangyang can really be captured this time, General Bu will be the first to succeed!"

Bu Zhao did not dare to accept Lu Xun's gift. He turned sideways and returned the same gift:

"The stallion is only for the country, not for merit."

"Then I will work hard with General Bu to capture Xiangyang!"

With the cooperation of Bu Zhao, Lu Xun did not stay for a moment and immediately rushed to Jingcheng east of Dangyang.

Fifty thousand troops have been secretly assembled there, which is the maximum strength Lu Xun can mobilize at present.

Guanqiu Jian's guess was correct. The Wu army in attacking Peizhong did not try their best.

But what he guessed wrong was that it was not that Wu Jun did not want to try his best, but that Zhuge Jin simply did not have enough troops at that time.

Because some of Jingzhou's elite soldiers did not go to Paizhong at all.

Lu Xun also mobilized all the troops in Wuchang, Yuzhang and other places, and finally gathered the 50,000 troops.

Jingcheng is located on the edge of the Han River. At this time, the Han River was densely covered with Wu warships.

Thanks to Ji Han's huge pressure, the Wei army has not harassed the south for a long time.

In addition, Zhuge Jin led his army to attack Peizhong, and Feng Yong led his army to appear at Caoqiao Pass, which made Wei Jun Wuli send a scout horse south to investigate here.

Therefore, Guanqiu Jian had no idea that there was such a large army secretly spying on Xiangyang.

Upon learning that Lu Xun had returned, Zhu Ran, Sun Lun and other generals leading the army immediately came to see them:

"General, you are finally back!"

Lu Xun stood behind the handsome man with a solemn expression:

"Send my order and the whole army will set off immediately to attack Xiangyang!"

When Zhu Ran and others heard this, they immediately responded excitedly and loudly: "Here!"

Soon, the sound of war drums and horns sounded in both the water and dry villages.

The Wu army secretly gathered at Jingmen, like a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows, finally showed its fangs.

May is the season for southwesterly winds, and occasionally southeasterly winds.

But whether it is a southeasterly or southwesterly wind, you can take advantage of the wind.

The Wu army warships on the river, using the tower ship as a node, continuously issued orders, began to raise their sails, and rushed towards Xiangyang in the north.

When the Wei army in the north learned that Zhuge Jin had died of illness and saw the Wu army retreating, they only thought that the crisis was over.

But he didn't expect that Bu Zhao would lead the army and return.

The Wei army in Tiaozhong was almost caught off guard. If it had not been for the elite cavalry as scouts, they would have been successfully attacked by foot stallions.

After the Xiangyang garrison learned about the Wu thieves' deception, they immediately sent reinforcements. Unexpectedly, personal guards rushed in rolling and crawling:

"General, it's not good! Wu bandits, there are so many Wu bandits..."

"I know Wu Kou. Isn't it just that Wu Kou came back and wanted to sneak attack on Peizhong? There is nothing to be nervous about..."

"No, no!" The guard was so anxious that he couldn't finish his words and pointed his finger outside, "It's in the water, in the water, Wu Kou is coming from the water!"

"Water surface? What water surface..." Before he finished speaking, the guard's face suddenly changed. He hurried forward, holding the guard's collar and shouting, "Wu Kou came from Han River?"

"Yes, it is!"

The guard general abandoned his guards, walked two steps at a time, and finally ran all the way, rushed to the top of the city, and looked towards the river.

Sure enough, on the east side of the river, there was an overwhelming number of warships, like a fortress filling the water, densely packed, like a plague of locusts passing through, galloping towards Xiangyang.

The guard's legs went weak and he almost lost his balance.

He held on to the parapet, turned pale, and murmured:

"Thieves, this is to follow Guan Yu's old plan and separate Fan Xiang!"

The people on the left and right were equally panicked: "General, what should we do?"

"Why are you panicking! Xiangyang is a fortified city. In the past, Guan Yu besieged Xiangfan, and China was shaken, but he could not break the city. How can the mere Wu invaders be as brave as Guan Yu?"

The general of Xiangyang is an old man in the army. He also experienced the Battle of Xiangfan and accumulated military merits before climbing up the ranks.

"Send my military order to pull up the suspension bridge of the moat and close the city gate!"

"Also, before the thieves cut off the water, immediately send people to the north bank to convey the military information!"

Xiangyang is close to the Han River to the north and dangerous mountains to the south. It is also a fortified city. No matter whether the thieves come from the south or the north, they will have dangers to rely on.

There is also Fancheng on the north bank, which echoes each other. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
