In March 209, Liu Bei had already occupied the three counties of Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang, and the army was directly pointing to Changsha. Changsha had a strength of 20,000 troops, and although Han Xuan's ability was not strong, there were two fierce generals, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, and his brother Han Hao also managed Changsha in a similar way.
Zhuge Liang and others suggested that soldiers should quickly take Changsha and then gain a foothold in Jingnan.
Li Yan of the Gong'an Port led 5,000 men down the river and captured the port of Luoxian in Changsha.
Guan Yu sent five thousand troops from Guiyang to Changsha first. Zhao Yun and Guan Ping each led 6,000 soldiers from Wuling and sent troops to Changsha.
At this time, in the north, Liu Biao and Sun Quan fought in Jiangxia, and Cao Cao's army did not move south after capturing Xinye.
On the eve of the great war, good news came from Guiyang's side, and Jiang Huan, who had recently surrendered, persuaded Wei Yan.
As soon as Guan Yu led his army to Changsha, he encountered a large army led by Huang Zhong, and the two launched a single challenge, a major battle of 40 rounds, and finally ended with Guan Yu's victory, and Huang Zhong's morale was greatly reduced, and more than a thousand soldiers escaped.
The two led a large army to battle, and it was also Guan Yu who was a high player, and Huang Zhong returned to Changsha.
At this time, Zhao Yun, Li Yan, Guan Ping, and the three armies also came to Changsha City in unison. However, Zhao Yun's army had a food crisis, and the morale of the army was low.
Zhao Yun challenged Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong gladly accepted, and the two fought, and Zhao Yun narrowly won.
Zhao Yun and Li Yan were short of food, and the soldiers began to flee, and had to speed up the attack on Changsha.
Deng Zhi, Sha Moke, who was sent to Jianning, returned to Wuling, because of the poisonous gas entanglement, the mountain road was steep, and all the guards they brought were killed, and only two escaped.
Changsha was successfully won by the concerted efforts of the four generals. Taishou Han Xuan and others did not want to surrender, so they had to be imprisoned and slowly subdued.
At this point, the four counties of Jingzhou were all in the hands of Liu Bei.
Wen you: Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, Deng Zhi, Jiang Wan, Han Hao and others.
Wu You: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others.
Liu Beijun took the first step in the struggle for world domination.
Zhuge Liang, a military master, reminded the generals that Sun Quanjun's movements were suspicious and that they should be on guard.
Chen served as Wuling Taishou, Han Hao as Lingling Taishou, Sun Qian as Guiyang Taishou, and Liu Bei in Changsha. Recruit troops and expand their power.
