I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

The footsteps stopped, Cao Xiong turned around and glanced at Cao Yan, his eyes gave him some encouragement, and then continued to walk forward.

"Destroying the altar did not kill many ghost bat soldiers, but in the end, they left a lot of people behind when they retreated. After all, they had to stop the soldiers of the Han army in the rain of arrows. The gate of Chencang was destroyed, which also delayed a lot. thing."

Cao Xiong silently walked forward for a certain distance.

"Where's the collected Xuantian Stone?" Cao Xiong asked suddenly.

"A total of five, all brought back."

"Then use these hanging stones to see off the 150 six ghost bat fighters!"

To the east of Zhao Yun's Chinese army camp, a battalion was specially set aside for ghost bats.

At night, Cao Yan and Ghost Bat carved out a simple stone platform at the mouth of a cliff on the mountainside.

From this cliff mouth, you can directly see Chencang City on the opposite side.

A small beacon was lit, and Cao Xiong took the cloth bag himself and walked to the altar of the stone platform.

He put five hanging stones in the notch of the stone platform.

"January 31, 150, the lords helped me attack Chencang, broke through the strange array, and sacrificed myself. Now that this platform is built, I will tell you [-] Liulanglings."

Amen.

Cao Xiong nodded, praying for them in his heart.

"Amen~" Cao Yan learned to pray beside him.

Cao Xiong almost fell flat when he heard this sound.

The ghost bats on the mountainside are dressed in black velvet, praying for them.

Ghost bats originally hide in dark caves and under the cover of trees.

Even if it is to comfort their spirits in heaven, they will not do it with great fanfare.

After about a cup of tea.

Cao Xiong went down the mountain with the ghost bat.

"After returning to Yecheng, set up a place for the ghost bat in Jingxuan Pavilion, pray for a stone, and use it as a place for gathering spirits."

Cao Yan agreed in a low voice.

Chapter 1755 The hard-working Zuo Ci!

Cao Xiong stretched his arms, exhaling white steam!

The formation of Qizheng has been broken!

It is only a matter of time before Chen Cang is taken down!

It's time to think about the next step of the army plan!

Originally, he planned to stay in Zhao Yun's army until Chencang City was broken.

But after thinking about it for a while, it didn't feel right.

If he stays here, it will only affect Zhao Yun's battle.

It's better to return to Xinping at night and wait for Zhao Yun's good news!

Far away in Xinping City.

Zuo Ci is in the house, studying "Tui Bei Tu"!

His eyes glowed purple, and he flipped through "Tui Bei Tu" page after page!

Zuo Ci touched his white beard, wiped it off with one hand, the white beard turned into black, and then slowly returned to its original color!

During the daytime today, all the purple stars in the sky have been extinguished, and the starlight with the formation technique has dispersed and returned to its original position.

Cao Xiong should have succeeded!

However, Zuo Ci is not so optimistic about the future war!

Yu Ji seems to be still hiding his big move!

"Fortunately, there is a picture of pushing back." Zuo Ci muttered.

However, books on astrology and divination are not enough!

If this continues, he is still no match for Yu Ji!

The faster his alchemy improves, the more he can feel the gap with Yu Ji!

Yu Ji is an old man!

Why did you find Zhuge Liang?

Zuo Ci couldn't figure it out.

Fortunately, the eldest son Cao Xiong is very powerful, whether it is a general or a territory, he is far more powerful than Zhuge Liang.

So forced to go on!

Yu Ji's unknown side will be revealed sooner or later!

"I have to calculate the future carefully." Zuo Ci tried to figure it out.

Talking about traveling through time and space, and fetching things from a distance, this is Zuo Ci's specialty!

But when it comes to divination, counting chips, and fiddling with the future, he is not as good as Yu Ji.

The house, and even the courtyard, are already full of Zuo Ci's tricks!

Zuo Ci kept divination in the room.

In fact, he had already calculated the time of the day.

There was no tired look on his face.

Time seemed to have no effect on him.

His body and soul also seemed to be separate.

In the night sky, the stars shifted, the sky changed, and a light rose from the darkness.

Zuo Ci's figure appeared in and out of the house.

No need to eat, no need to sleep.

The land of Sichuan and Shu, Jiangkou Fuling.

Guan Yu was breathing calmly in the big tent, his complexion was very bad.

He couldn't sleep day and night, so he simply sat cross-legged on the mat, closed his eyes and rested.

Since the army returned to Fuling, Guan Yu's appearance has not changed.

"Your Majesty, have a drink of soup." Ma Liang's complexion was also very bad, but compared to Guan Yu, it was nothing.

Guan Yu first closed his eyes and stroked his beard, then opened his eyes slightly.

His eyes were bloodshot and scarlet with tears.

The eye sockets also sunken back with the eyelids.

Seeing Guan Yu like this, Ma Liang secretly sighed, and couldn't help but feel even more worried.

"How is the army?" Guan Yu asked faintly.

"Your Majesty, the army has returned to Fuling safely."

Guan Yu stroked his beard lightly, all of this was expected and reasonable.

Yu Jin and Pound only knew that Guan Yu had retreated.

But he didn't know that Guan Yu vomited blood.

After Guan Yu learned of Zhang Fei's death, he vomited blood once that night and passed out.

Before fainting, let the army stop attacking and retreat to Linjiang.

After the army has gone out, how can it be said that it will return without success and waste money and food?

Ma Liang knew what Guan Yu meant, but Guan Yu slept for three days.

The army was in a state of uncertainty, while Guan Ping and Zhou Cang stood by and could not come up with an idea.

Jingzhou is important.

However, Guan Yu is more important.

"Get out." Ma Liang stomped his foot and his heart sank!

The army moved out of Linjiang overnight, retreated against the river, and returned to Fuling.

Chapter 1756 Guan Yu vomits blood!

"Ma Liang, tell me, should I attack Jingzhou now, or stick to Jiangyang?"

"Your Majesty, you are still injured, wait until your health is better, then think about it."

"Wait for the injury to heal? Jingzhou is located in the heart of the world, and the opportunity for war is fleeting. My eldest brother and third brother and I have traveled north and south for decades, and we have countless sword wounds..."

"Your Majesty." Ma Liang was worried about this nine-foot man, a man who symbolized the soul of an army, and seemed to be about to fall.

Guan Yu stretched out his hand to signal that he was fine.

Ma Liang stood up thinking, and helped Guan Yu think about the army strategy.

Guan Yu held up the small bowl with his big hands, and drank the hot soup in one gulp.

"I think the king can fight."

Guan Yu raised his eyelids.

Ma Liang continued, "The battle of Jingzhou can not only help the princes seize more territory and prepare for the Han army's re-entry into the Central Plains in the future; it can also deepen the relationship with Wu, and prompt the two countries to join forces to fight against Cao."

"What if Zhou Fang doesn't want to share Jingzhou with me?"

Guan Yu didn't think that young people nowadays were easy to talk to.

The soldiers from Jiangdong are out of Jianye, and they are still fighting on New Year's Eve. Will Jingzhou, which is about to be acquired, be willing to share a bowl of soup with Guan Yu?

"Let's see how much territory the Jiangyang Army led by the Junhou can grab in Jingzhou." Ma Liang's eyes gleamed brightly, "The more territories in hand, the thicker the capital, the stronger the back!"

The two looked at each other, their eyes sparkling.

However, when Guan Yu thought of his third younger brother who had passed away, his heart felt like a stabbing pain.

"Your Majesty." Seeing Guan Yu's piercing appearance, Ma Liang couldn't bear it.

"Military and national affairs are the most important thing!" Guan Yu sighed, "The military commander entrusted Jiangyang to me, and I can't live up to the great trust of the military commander. The land of Jingzhou is like the fish that is fed to my mouth. This opportunity is never to be missed, and the time will never come again." If I miss this opportunity, not only will I have no face to see the military advisor, but I will also have no face to see my elder brother and third younger brother!"

"Why did you mention the words 'Under the Nine Springs'?" Ma Liang frowned.

Guan Yu looked as if he wanted to explain his funeral.

"Ma Liang." Guan Yu patted Ma Liang's shoulder, kneading his shoulder and pushing back and forth, "You and Zhuge Liang are really similar."

Guan Yu stood up reluctantly, stroking his white beard with both hands, and strode across the room, "It's inconvenient for me to say something to Zhuge Liang, but it's okay to reveal it to you. Back then in the Taoyuan of the third brother, I became sworn brothers with my eldest brother and Yide. , don’t want to be born in the same year and the same day, but to die in the same year and the same month and the same day. After the eldest brother left, I have been uneasy, and now that the third brother has also left, I feel a sense of relief.”

"I don't have much time. I'm willing to do my last bit for my elder brother's dream of reviving the Han Dynasty. After I leave, I will leave the rest to Military Adviser Zhuge."

"This..." Ma Liangzhu looked at Guan Yu, "Your Majesty, you can say this at will."

"Huh?" Guan Yu gave Ma Liang a cold look, "What can you say?"

"I'm afraid it will affect the morale of the army." Ma Liang said truthfully.

"Joke!" Guan Yu shook his beard, "I trained the Jiangyang army with my own hands, and the fighting power is first-class and strong. Even if I sit in Jiangyang, the army led by Guan Ping can still reach Jingzhou Under the city!"

Guan Yu couldn't catch his breath and almost coughed again!
