The army arrived at Fancheng in a few days. To the south of Fancheng, Xiangyang was beyond the Mianshui River. Cai Mao's water was arranged on both sides of the Mianshui River and the Hanshui River. It was also a huge challenge for the army to enter Xiangyang's territory. If Cai Mao refused to surrender, then quickly pacifying Jingzhou would be a dream.
Cao Cao gathered a group of strategists to discuss and they all agreed that Cai Mao had a navy and would not surrender. Only Guo Yu felt that Cai Mao would surrender.
However, even if Cai Mao wanted to surrender, it was because he was afraid of the Cao army. Thus, he had to show his determination to attack Xiangyang.
Therefore, Cao Cao ordered the construction of ships in Fancheng and mobilized civilian ships nearby to prepare for war.
At the same time, Xu Shu took a boat south to find Liu Bei, either to recruit him or to disrupt his morale.
He also sent messengers to Xiangyang to see Cai Mao and prepare to surrender Cai Mao.
Zhao Yun thought that he was going to start a war with Cai Mao, so he was secretly looking forward to it. He planned to show off his skills and not let his abilities be buried.
In order to grasp the situation at all times, Guo Yu often wandered around the ferry with Zhao Yun.
Something happened while they were wandering around.
When Xu Chu and Cao Chun led the Tiger Leopard Cavalry across the river to Jiangling, they had mobilized many of the civilian ships nearby. Now that Cao Cao had arrived, he had mobilized most of the civilian ships.
As a result, Zhang Fei, who had planned to chase after Liu Bei, was in trouble.
"Motherf * cker! How are we going to get there without a boat?"
"Why don't we just rob that Cao thief's boat and cross the river by force!”
Zhang Fei waited for two days and became impatient.
Sun Qian didn't have a choice, and he couldn't persuade Zhang Fei, this boorish fellow, so he could only agree.
Thus, Zhang Fei scouted the area during the day and brought his 300 subordinates to Cao Cao's camp at night.
Why did the 1,000 people from before become 300 now?
It was because Liu Bei's reputation was ruined and Zhang Fei wanted to bring them to their deaths, so more than half of them ran away.
These 300 people were all old subordinates that Liu Bei had obtained when he cooperated with Yuan Shao to deal with Cao Cao in Runan. Because they had nowhere to go in Jingzhou, they could only follow Zhang Feimang.
In the middle of the night, the Cao camp soldiers were resting. Because they were not on guard, Zhang Fei had set fire to the rear provisions.
Guo Yu was sleeping soundly when Xu Huang came in and woke him up. He went out to take a look and saw flames soaring into the sky. The soldiers in the army were all rushing to get water to put out the fire.
Zhao Yun also put on her armor and came out. She followed Guo Yu and felt that the fire was unusual, so she was on guard.
Xu Huang sighed." The grain we brought here is enough to feed 100,000 soldiers for half a month. Now that it has been burned, I'm afraid it will make the morale of the soldiers unstable."”
Guo Yu thought for a while and suddenly frowned."We can transfer the rations again, but I'm afraid that the ships at the ferry will be lost! Quickly mobilize the troops and follow me to the ferry to take a look!”
Xu Huang hurriedly mobilized 800 cavalrymen, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Guo Yu to rush to the ferry. Zhao Yun also raised his spear and mounted his horse, following Guo Yu closely.
When everyone arrived at the ferry, they saw many soldiers fighting and killing. Some unidentified people had already boarded the ship and were preparing to leave.
On the shore, there was a man riding a horse with a spear in his hand. His roar was like thunder as he fought. The surrounding Cao soldiers were like weak wheat straws in front of him, being swept down one by one.
"Quickly restrain this person and take back the ship!”Guo Yu gave a stern order, and Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, and Xu Huang immediately led their troops forward. The cavalry charged forward, killing the rebel soldiers and surrounding the enemy general.
Xiahou Yuan couldn't see who it was, but after a few rounds, he couldn't help but exclaim,""The thief is powerful, and Yuan Rang has always helped me!”
Xiahou Dun didn't even think and immediately went up to help. However, even with the combined strength of the two of them, they still couldn't defeat that person!
"Gongming! Go up and help!" Guo Yu shouted, and Xu Huang immediately joined the battle. The Mountain Breaker Axe slashed down several times without any effect, but that person was still able to do it with ease!
"All of you, put on a fighting stance! If one person couldn't stop them, how could they recover Jing State?”
Guo Yu pulled out his sword and urged his horse to charge forward.
However, Zhao Yun suddenly made a move and stopped him."Sir, you can't! This person…"
Zhao Yun wanted to say something but hesitated. Guo Yu immediately understood."Looking at this person's martial arts and weapons, could he be Zhang Yide from Yan?”
"That's right! Yide's martial arts are outstanding and he has the courage that ten thousand men can't match. If you go, you will definitely be captured by him and it will be a bad thing!”
Seeing that Zhao Yun was only blocking him and had no intention of helping him, Guo Yu deliberately waved his hand to deflect Zhao Yun's spear!
"If I didn't step forward today, who would be willing to risk their lives?”
Guo Yu then rode his horse forward, raised his sword, and shouted,""Guo Yu is here! Zhang Yide, die!"
Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, and Xu Huang were all shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief!
Although they had never seen Guo Yu fight, he did not walk, eat, or sleep like a martial artist. The three of them knew that Guo Yu's martial arts were not good.
But now that he had come up, the three of them immediately felt ashamed and fought with Zhang Fei with all their might.
However, Zhang Fei suddenly became excited."Guo Yu? Haha! You forced Zhao Yun to surrender. Today, I, Zhang Fei, will abduct you and force you to surrender when I go back. I will make you my big brother's military advisor!”
As he spoke, he swung his eighteen feet Snake Spear, unleashing a terrifying pressure. Xiahou Yuan's saber was hit and almost flew out of his hand. He immediately urged his horse to charge at Guo Yu!
"Stop him!" Xu Huang roared in anger and waved his axe to block Zhang Fei. However, Zhang Fei ignored his axe and tried to force Xu Huang back!
Although Xu Huang was brave, he was not like Zhang Fei. He subconsciously avoided his vital points, but missed the opportunity to kill Zhang Fei. Instead, Zhang Fei stabbed him in the waist and he fell off the saddle!
"Let's go all out!" Seeing that Guo Yu's life was hanging by a thread, Xiahou Dun could no longer care about himself. He actually jumped off the horse's back and pounced on Zhang Fei!
"You're courting death!" Zhang Fei suddenly raised his spear, and Xiahou Dun was about to lose his life in midair!
However, at this moment, a bright silver spear pierced out like a rock breaking through the sky. It lightly tapped Zhang Fei's Snake Spear, and the Snake Spear deviated. Not only did Zhang Fei fail to kill Xiahou Dun, but Xiahou Dun had also stabbed him in the arm!
"Zhao Yun!"
Zhang Fei circled around and charged back with his Snake Lance. Although it was dark, he still recognized Zhao Yun.
"You betrayed your master and still appeared in front of me? Die!"
At this moment, this 18-foot-long Snake Spear was like a long-thirsty poisonous snake, stabbing towards Zhao Yun from all sorts of crafty and vicious directions!
Zhao Yun sighed and didn't say anything. She raised her spear and started fighting with Zhang Fei. Although she attacked less and defended more, she was still evenly matched with Zhang Fei.
Yu Jinwen rushed over from behind. He nocked an arrow in the dark and aimed for a while, planning to shoot a sneak attack.
When Zhao Yun realized this, she shouted,"Sir, you can't order us to shoot arrows in the dark. Otherwise, Yun Yuan will die here!”
Guo Yu waved his hand at Yu Jin, and Yu Jin stopped.
