In the battle of Bowangpo, Yuan Shang designed to burn the Jingzhou army and defeated Guan Yu's main force. Guan Yu fled in a hurry and led a group of personal generals and remaining soldiers to escape from Bowangpo. Yuan Shang did not pursue him deeply, but ordered his generals to divide his troops to capture various cities in Jingzhou, mainly Xiangyang in the north. He did not pursue Guan Yu's remaining troops, but just waved flags and shouted, pretending to make a sound.

Dongwu, Lukou Daying.

The naval camp in Lukou has always been controlled by Zhou Yu himself, but today, Sun Quan came to inspect it himself and didn't know what it said.

After inspecting the situation of the three armies, Sun Quan came to the tent of the Eastern Wu naval army and summoned Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Tai Shi Ci, Ling Tong, Jiang Qin and other important officials to come to see him.

After seeing Sun Quan, the generals of the Eastern Wu sat on both sides according to their identities. Sun Quan sat in the position of the commander, looked at everyone left and right, suddenly smiled slightly, and asked, "Everyone, I'm here today, one is to inspect the military situation of the navy, and the other is to make another major event. I wonder if you may have guessed it?"

On the way down the front, the veteran Cheng Pu slowly stood up, bowed his hand, and said, "The real purpose of the lord is to discuss with us. At this moment, is it the best opportunity for Eastern Wu to send troops to Jingzhou."

When Sun Quan heard this, he said with gratitude: "The words of Democraticism are very consistent with my intentions... The previous interviewer said that Guan Yu's Jingzhou troops were defeated by Yuan Shang in Jingbei. The main force of Jingzhou was defeated by seven or eight. Now he is barely stationed in the south of the Han River and confronting Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang took the opportunity to attack Xiangyang and other cities north of the Han River. Sooner or later, he will inevitably attack Jingnan. At this moment, according to my intention, it is the best opportunity to capture Jingzhou. I wonder what you think?"

When he finished speaking, Zhou Yu stood up and said proudly: "Lord, I will not hide it from it. If the lord does not come to Lukou today, Yu will send someone to Nanxu and beg him to beg him to make sure Zhou Yu sends troops to Jingzhou!"

Next to Zhou Yu, Lu Meng stood up and agreed: "The Grand Commander's words are very good! Guan Yu's Jingzhou army has always been strong, but after this change, its strength has been greatly damaged. For our Eastern Wu, it is a good opportunity to capture Jingzhou. Moreover, although Yuan Shang defeated Guan Yu's main force, he was defeated by Guan Yu from Jingdong to Jingbei for five consecutive formations, spanning three hundred miles. Not only did he lose all his strength, but he also lost a lot of troops and captured Xiangyang and other places. For Yuan Shang, it was the biggest limit. If other places in Jingzhou, such as Jiangxia and Nanjun, are not taken, it would be a loss of will. This is a good opportunity for heaven. It is definitely not to be missed!"

Sun Quan turned to look at the others, but saw that everyone was eager to try, and obviously had great confidence in attacking Jingzhou now. Then he nodded and said, "Since you have the support of all the officials, Quan will have no worries in his heart."

Among the people, Lu Su was the most sober, but when he saw him stand up, step out of the shift, bowed to Sun Quan and said, "My lord, although the opportunity to attack Jingzhou at this time is not missed, how can Yuan Shang's wisdom not be considered as such a move? When the lord chased him to Shouchun, Yuan Shang invited him to attack Jingzhou. It can be seen that he had already wanted us to sneak attack Guan Yu's rear. Jingzhou is certainly something we should take, but we must not act hastily, so that Yuan Shang got a bargain."

When Sun Quan thought about it, he said, "Zijing's words are reasonable, but Yuan Shang always wants us to seize the counties in southern Jingzhou. What is the idea in his mind and what will be good for him?"

Lu Su smiled and said, "According to the lower level, Yuan Shang's original intention is nothing more than to provoke Sun and Liu's discord and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Today, if we talk about the power, Yuan Shang is the strongest and Sun and Liu are both weak. Once Sun and Liu fight, how can we fight against Yuan Shang?"

Sun Quan nodded after hearing this and said, "After that being said, the power of Jingzhou is an important link for our Eastern Wu to reject the Yangtze River, and we must never take it!"

Lu Su touched the beard on his chin and laughed: "Although that's the case, we should also pay attention to the right degree. It is imperative to seize Jingzhou, but there should be a good explanation on Liu Bei's side... In my opinion, after seizing Jingzhou, we might as well say that Yuan Shang has a strong military force and Guan Yu is hard to match. I, Dongwu, came to protect Jingzhou for Guan Yu, and I borrowed it for the time being. I don't know what the lord wants?"

Sun Quan nodded after hearing this and said, "Yes."

Lu Su turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, there is another important point. Guan Yu and Liu Bei have the love of a feud in Taoyuan. When all the generals seize Jingzhou, be sure not to hurt Guan Yu."

All the generals stood up and said, "Oh!"

……………………………………………………………………

After Yuan Shang defeated Guan Yu, he divided his troops to capture Xiangyang and other places, but he did not relax with Guan Yu. He went south and headed straight for Guan Yu's camp on the Han River.

As expected by Yuan Shang, Guan Yu was very backbone. Although his troops were damaged, he still insisted on defending his camp south of the Han River to compete with him.

Instead of forcibly attacking Guan Yu's camp, Yuan Shang did not panic and led his troops across the river and faced Guan Yu far away.

Standing by the gate of his own, Yuan Shang looked at the Guanyu camp in the distance from afar, with a faint smile on his face and a light flashing in his eyes, as if he was exploring something.

After a while, Sima Yi walked to Yuan Shang's side and whispered: "Lord, aren't you sending troops yet?"

Yuan Shang took a deep breath and shook his head and said, "If the Eastern Wu does not send troops, we cannot do anything."

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is true. Eastern Wu has been coveting Jingzhou for a long time and will never miss this opportunity. Of course, Eastern Wu has many talents and will definitely not kill Guan Yu."

Yuan Shang smiled slightly when he heard this, and did not answer Sima Yi on this question. Instead, he thought for a while: "Tomorrow, we will start to send Ma Chao, Zhang Yan, Zhang Liao, Gao Lan, Zhang He and others to attack Guanyu camp in five directions. While attacking, he threatened that Sun Quan had taken the opportunity to attack Jingzhou in the rear. Remember, don't let them break through Guan Yu's camp. The important thing is to pass on the information after the attack on the Eastern Wu."

………………………………………

According to Yuan Shang's instructions, the next day, the five troops of Yuan army began to attack Guan Yu's camp separately, but the attacks were not too fast or too slow, but the shouts were more vigorous than the attacks.

Guan Yu was sitting in the central army and heard the shouts and shouts from all directions, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy. However, Guan Yu was extraordinary after all. No matter what he was in his heart, he always remained calm.

When he was young, he saw Liao Hua coming in a hurry with blood, bowing to Guan Yu, and sighing, "General Guan, something big is not good! Yuan's army attacked in the five directions very urgently, and our army could not resist it. We also had Yuan's army..."

Guan Yu's eyes opened: "How about it?"

"Also, Yuan Jun shouted loudly, saying that Jiangdong had already captured Jingzhou!"
