The two armies camped and faced each other across Zishui.

Since the Wu army had already occupied favorable terrain for defense, Guan Yu temporarily chose to wait and see what happened, and sent a small group of scouts to sneak into the counties in Jingnan to contact Zhao Tong's troops.

The capital of Lingling, Quanling City.

As time went by, the scouts quickly and truthfully reported back the confrontation between the two armies in Yiyang.

After Zhao Tong heard the news, he immediately summoned his generals to discuss how to take advantage of the victory to attack Lu Meng's main Wu army.

"Everyone, General Guan is now confronting Lu Su's troops across Zishui, but most of the Wu army is now led by Lu Meng. If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Meng must have received news of going north for assistance."

That's it.

He pondered for a while and then said loudly: "Our army continues to march eastward and compress the Wu army's defense line in Jingzhou."

"Liu Yin, Ma Zhong, you two lead the front and advance towards Yingdao City."

"The rest of the generals and this general will follow suit."

"Here!"

An order was passed down.

Wu general Jiang Qin and the prisoners of war were temporarily imprisoned in the dungeon.

The plan has been decided.

The Jingzhou army marched rapidly along the camp road in great strength.

Lien Zhan and Lien Jie were defeated. At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou Army were all facing forward, and their fighting spirit was high.

On the other hand, I heard that the Jingzhou Army was attacking in large numbers.

Even though Wu Jun still has the advantage in strength at this moment.

However, they have not yet emerged from the shadows of the Battle of Quanling, and it was found that all the soldiers were already in chaos without fighting.

Look at this situation.

Lu Meng led his troops to tentatively engage the front of the Jingzhou army.

However, under the offensive of Ma Zhong and Liu Yin, in a short period of time, the Wu army fell into an overall disadvantage and unfavorable situation.

After one round of offensive.

Lu Meng decisively led his troops to slowly shrink the defense line along Guiyang County to avoid contact with the Jingzhou army.

After giving in one after another.

A few days later.

Zhao Tong and his troops drove the Wu army out of Lingling County.

Next, he ordered all the troops to gather along the Xiangguan Pass.

Xiangguan is an ancient ferry that stands at the junction of Lingling and Changsha, on the bank of the Xiang River.

Guiyang County is connected to Cangwu County in Jiaozhou.

Lu Meng has now retreated to Guiyang, and Zhao Tong naturally knows it. At this time, he has no capital to pursue and fight with his own strength.

Therefore, he first ordered his side to occupy Xiangguan.

Once this place is captured, Lü Meng's troops can be blocked from marching north to Yiyang to join forces with Lu Su.

This news could not be hidden from Lu Meng's ears.

only.

At this time, he had no spare efforts to compete for the capital belonging to Xiangguan.

Next.

The unfavorable situation in the Jingnan areas has gradually spread to the rear.

At this time, Sun Quan had also arrived from Chaisang to Lukou and took up command.

Waiting for news of the war situation in Jingnan.

Even Sun Quan, who has always been known for his calmness, couldn't help showing a look of astonishment at this time, and said in surprise: "What? Ziming personally led his troops to attack Jingnan, but he failed to capture several counties?"

You can't blame him for being surprised at this moment.

The main reason is that since Zhou Yu's death, Lu Meng has become a leader in the army.

No matter how tough the battle, Sun Quan would choose to leave it to him.

And Lu Meng almost never disappoints him.

"Xiangguan was occupied by the Jingzhou Army?"

"The pressure on Zijing's side will be extremely great."

After pondering for a moment, Sun Quan's expression changed slightly.

He firmly ordered Lu Meng to lead his troops to attack Jingzhou, thinking that by surprise, he would surely be able to capture several counties in southern Jingzhou.

As long as several counties are captured safely, everything will naturally be settled!

By then, even if Guan Yu tries his best to seize it, it will not help!

But now, the situation is a bit tricky.

Thought for a long time.

Sun Quan quickly gave an order: "Sun Jiao, you will assemble an elite group and quickly rush to the capital Linxiang City to take charge of the situation to prevent the Jingzhou Army at Xiangguan from taking advantage of the situation to attack Zijing's retreat."

"Sun Huan and Zhu Ran, you lead an army towards Zishui and assist Zijing in resisting Guan Yu."

"Here!"

An order was passed down.

The generals were ordered to retire one after another.

Sun Quan also made a choice in the face of danger.

As the news spread to Yiyang.

Wu Jun camp.

Lu Su was currently sitting upright on the mat, handling military affairs for the past few days conscientiously.

After a long time, he stopped writing, stood up, looked at the endless sound of the river in the distance, and sighed: "Oh, my lord, why are you doing this?"

"Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou in the first place. This matter was our army's responsibility. We can solve the Jingzhou Incident without resorting to war."

"Now that we are doing this, the war situation is still at a stalemate."

"Even if the two families make peace again in the future, I'm afraid the gap created will never be able to be bridged!"

For a moment, Lu Su's face was full of pain.

After some lamentation.

Lu Su then summoned all the generals to come and informed him that he wanted to invite Guan Yu to meet with him to discuss the incident in Jingzhou and strive to stop the war and resolve it peacefully.

As soon as these words fell.

All the generals immediately couldn't help but express doubts and worries in their hearts.

"Make peace?"

"Captain, now that the two families are at war, is there any possibility of making peace?"

"No, Guan Yu has the courage that no man can match. If the commander goes here, won't his life be at stake?"

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, all the generals unanimously opposed it.

Hearing this, Lu Su just waved his hand to stop the generals from talking and said: "It is said that Guan Yunchang is familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period and has always known the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period. I think he would not be able to do such a thing to take advantage of others' danger!"

"At the beginning, I, Jiangdong, borrowed Jingzhou to live with them. Now that they refuse to return the land, they have already failed me, Jiangdong. How can they capture this governor?"

"What's more, now that the war situation has reached a stalemate, Guan Yu must be worried. If the war in Jiangnan does not calm down as soon as possible, once Cao's army comes to Jiangling City again."

"That situation will be a disaster for the Jingzhou Army!"

As soon as this statement came out.

The general said again: "Captain, having said that, two armies are at war now. As the leader of an army, you should still be cautious!"

"Now that Lu Ziming's attack on Jingnan has not been completed, our army is already at a disadvantage strategically. If this war continues to drag on, it will not benefit the Sun and Liu families at all."

"This governor must take a risk, persuade Guan Yu to call off his troops, make peace, and renegotiate the division of Jingzhou."

After saying this, Lu Su suddenly said in a sharp tone: "You don't need to persuade me anymore, I have already made up my mind on this matter!"

The words are over.

Lu Su made a firm decision.

Immediately, a letter inviting Guan Yu to attend the meeting slowly spread to the other side of the river.

North Shore.

Jingzhou Camp.

After Guan Yu received the letter from Lu Su, he opened it and read it slowly.

When Guan Yu saw that he was actually invited to pick up his sword and go to meet him, Guan Yu's red cheeks couldn't help but smile and said: "Interesting!"
