If Cao Wei's attack plan was Cao Pi's casual idea by contacting a few close ministers around him, Fa Zheng would have already begun to celebrate and feast with everyone at this time.

But listening to Wen Ping, this idea was Jia Xu's idea, but Fa Zheng was a little confused.

Jia Xu was cautious under Cao Cao, and he didn't dare to give advice easily.

But Cao Pi actually forgot the great feud of the year, and took Jia Xu as the captain (in history, Sun Quan laughed when he heard about it), presumably Jia Xu's serious plan should not be so risky, and it is full of loopholes.

In this attack on Xiangyang, all hopes are pinned on Mei Shiki.

Even if Mei Fu didn't play tricks, but only decisively rejected Wen Ping's proposal, wouldn't Cao Wei's crucial battle be in a stalemate, not only pitting the main force of Xiahou Shang who went to the top, but also being forced to evolve into Wen Ping's tactics of attacking Xiangyang.

Fa Zheng told his doubts to the scheming Liu Chan.

Fa Zheng couldn't figure out things, and it was too difficult for Liu Chan to think about it.

Liu Chan used his brain, and he didn't figure out what was going on for a long time.

He has all the Xiangyang in his hands, and Jia Xu can't change this fact no matter what means he uses.

If he really had the ability to steal the sky, the three kingdoms would have been unified a long time ago.

Seeing that Fa Zheng was still bowing his head and meditating, Liu Chan smiled heartily:

"Why should the Lord of the Decree be so worried?

Jia Xu is older than Cao Cao, and he must be old and wise, and his strategy is insufficient.

Our army is strong, and we have a large army to guard Xiangyang and Jiangling,

Cao Pi has just ascended the throne, and his foundation is unstable, even if he has a shocking strategy, he will not dare to compete with us.

Instead of attacking Xiangyang, it is better to attack Dongwu and attack the strong, which is really unwise. ”

Fa Zheng nodded thoughtfully and exclaimed:

"The son of the world is talented, it is a mediocre person who disturbs himself."

Chang Diao led the army to flee to Jiangbei, and was relieved to see that Liu Chanjun did not catch up.

Huang Zhongdu came, and it seemed that Liu Beijun was really angered by the battle of Shangyong and began to actively send troops to retaliate.

Now there is Guan Yu in Jiangbei, Huang Zhong in Jiangnan, Liu Chan in Xiangyang, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in Yizhou will also make moves.

I'm afraid that the Shu army is not going to take the opportunity to make a large-scale northern expedition.

Thinking of this, Chang Diao's heart trembled, and he hurriedly led the army to Fancheng to camp first.

Guan Yu took the Taishou Fu Fang of Cao Wei Nanxiang, who had surrendered before, as the first department, bypassed Fancheng and went straight to Nanxiang, intending to cut off the return of Xiahou Shang and Xu Huang's army.

Theoretically, his tactics are very risky, and the baggage is easily cut off by Wei Jiangniu Jin, who has just been transferred to guard Fancheng.

But Fancheng has gone through previous battles, and it has been very withered-

Not to mention anything else, most of the city walls have collapsed, and there are no reserves in the city at all, and even the tools are not complete.

This time, the main force of the Wei army attacked the three eastern counties, and they didn't give Niu Jin many men and horses.

Poor Niu Jin led thousands of people to shrink in Fancheng and tremble, ready to retreat at any time, how dare he go out of the city to cut off Guan Yu's grain route.

Seeing that his old colleague Chang Diao actually led the army to arrive, Niu Jin was overjoyed, hurriedly greeted him out of the city, took Chang Diao's hand, and said enthusiastically:

"Why is the Eagle here? Could it be that the King of Wei called the giant eagle to help me? ”

The Wei army under Chang Diao is complete, with sufficient weapons, and its combat effectiveness must be good.

If they helped, Niu Jin would have a little more hope for defeating Guan Yu.

"Don't mention it," Chang Diao said angrily, "I told my eldest brother before I sent out the army, and I didn't know how to use soldiers at all."

He talked on paper, and actually brought Liu Chan over from Yizhou.

Now Boren and Gongming are blocked in the mountains by Guan Yu, and Liu Chan has an army to Xiangyang.

If it weren't for the fact that the general had seen through Liu Chan's treacherous scheme, I was afraid that our army would all be buried in Xiangyang City! ”

Niu Jin heard that Wen Ping rashly attacked Xiangyang City and was ambushed, and his reputation was ruined, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

If Chang Diao was also captured at that time, Liu Chan's army could immediately go north, and he would have to be a prisoner at that time.

However, Chang Diao luckily guessed Liu Chan's plan, and actually began to spray Jia Xu for not knowing how to use soldiers, which almost made Niu Jin laugh off his big teeth.

Just kidding, when Jia Xu was a lieutenant under Dong Zhuo, Chang Diao was still playing with mud, saying that this old guy can't fight, you are really confident.

But......

Speaking of which, there is nothing subtle about Jia Xu's plan in this battle,

It is also true that the current situation of being passively beaten everywhere on the battlefield is also true.

Guan Yu is so rampant, the Wei army needs to do his best, and if he can repel him, he has already burned Gao Xiang,

It took so much manpower just to repel Guan Yu, but I was afraid that Guan Yu would come back a few months later, and Niu Jin also felt that Jia Xu's plan was not suitable.

You said you had nothing to do with attracting Guan Yu over?

Still think Jiangbei is not messy enough?

"Then, what is it now, please show General Chang."

The current battle situation has exceeded the pre-war design, and a martial artist like Niu Jin has been messed up, so he can only ask Chang Diao, who is a general of Fenwei, to find a way.

Chang Diao pondered for a moment and said seriously:

"In my opinion, our army should abandon Fancheng and retreat north to Wan...... Retreat to Shinno,

With Xinye City, it is enough to resist Guan Yu's edge! ”

Niu Jin: ......

If Chang Diao hadn't been mixed with General Fenwei, Niu Jin would have smoked him with big-eared melon seeds.

Abandon Fancheng?

Abandon Fancheng?

Do you dare to say that?

All of the Wei army's strategic deployments revolved around the recapture of Xiangyang.

Giving up Fancheng, which is across the river from Xiangyang, is equivalent to completely giving up the hope of retaking Xiangyang, so that Guan Yu's army can easily cross the Han River......

This kind of decision-making is also a big taboo for others to think about.

Chang Diao now just wants to get as far away from Liu Chan and Guan Ping as possible.

Fancheng is not safe,

As long as Liu Chan launched the Northern Expedition, the first stop was Fancheng.

As a general, he has the responsibility to defend the territory, and he must fight against Liu Chan.

His subordinates are grateful for Chang Diao's kindness and will definitely go all out......

Hey, I'm so stupid, I should have preferred to die before, I shouldn't have been caught,

It's getting more and more troublesome now.

Guan Yu's army had already made a mess of Fancheng and Dengxian last year.

The resistance of the Wei army was very weak, and as soon as Guan Yu's army came ashore, it was basically wanton and unstoppable.

The former Cao Wei Jingzhou Thorn Shi Hu Xiu and the former Nanxiang Taishou Fu Fang, who had previously surrendered to Guan Yu, also actively persuaded their old subordinates to recognize the situation and surrender Guan Yu.

After several battles, Guan Yu has basically annihilated all the local guard forces of the Wei army north of Fancheng, and broke through the important Yin County.

If the Wei army wants to send food to Shangyong's side again, it will have to consider whether it will be sent directly to Guan Yu's army.

Seeing that the preliminary strategy had been achieved, Guan Yu came up with his traditional tactics - calling people.

He first asked Fu Fang to take his letter of appointment to the nearby mountains to summon various mountain bandits, and let them attack the supply and transportation of the Wei army in other directions;

Later, he personally went out to lobby many generals around him who were previously subordinate to Liu Biao and were later forced to surrender to Cao Wei.

After more than ten days of hard work, Xiahou Shang and Xu Huang could no longer sit still in the three eastern counties.

is a good Guan Yunchang, and he has the advantage of troops and does not come to attack the city.

According to his method of attrition, I am afraid that the Wei army will become chaotic.

And a few days later, they also received the news that Liu Chan had arrived in Xiangyang and Wenpin's entire army had been wiped out.

It's just that because the message transmission is a little biased, the news they heard is that Liu Chan cut off Wenpin's back road after arriving in Xiangyang, resulting in the annihilation of Wenpin's entire army.

Everyone has always been quite afraid of Liu Chan's use of soldiers, and they were even more frightened when they heard that Liu Chan arrived in Xiangyang and captured the general Wen Ping as soon as he made a move.

Xiahou Shang also knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly called Xu Huang and Meng Da to discuss the war, to see if he was going to continue to rely on Wudang Mountain to defend, or go out to fight Guan Yu.

Xu Huang first stated his opinion.

He believed that the battle had been completely lost, and that Jia Xu's stupid plan had almost killed the Wei army.

But Guan Yu was on a northern expedition after all, and now Fancheng is still there, and his grain route is threatened.

The best way now is to get in touch with Cao Pi and expand the original small battle into a big battle.

In order to get Cao Pi to send troops, Cao Wei gathered an army of 100,000 and directly used cavalry to attack Guan Yu's infantry-based troops in the open field.

Even if Guan Yu and Liu Chan can fight again, they will definitely not be able to stop the many cavalry from taking turns to attack.

There is definitely no hope for the total annihilation of Guan Yu, but there is no big problem in driving Guan Yu back to Xiangyang.

As for what to do next time Guan Yu comes again......

Then think about it next time.

Xiahou Shang, as Cao Pi's cronie, obtained information far from being comparable to Xu Huang.

He knew that Cao Pi was still planning big things now, and he couldn't concentrate all his troops on this road.

But this matter is very important, and he didn't dare to reveal it to Xu Huang at will, so he had to nod hesitantly, turned to Meng Da, and said:

"What about Zidu?"

Meng Da's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, he looked at the map, and said seriously:

"Even if there is no civil appointment, Guan Yu occupies Xiangyang, and sooner or later he will have to go on a northern expedition.

Now Guan Yu is attacking Nanxiang, and he is anxious, and he is also afraid of the reinforcements of King Wei, so he does not dare to attack in a big way, and only dares to confront our army here.

I expect that there will be a master under the command of King Wei, so as not to let Guan Yu run rampant,

I might as well wait to sit in the three counties and serve the King of Wei.

After a year of confrontation, the King of Wei will have a killing move, and we will do our best to repay it. ”

Meng Da said this without hurry or slowness, so that Xu Huang didn't know what to say for a while.

Now the grain route of the Wei army is only threatened, and it has not been completely cut off, and there is still a certain amount of grain in the three eastern counties.

Guan Yu was afraid of Cao Wei's support, and he didn't dare to directly pounce on the army for a decisive battle.

At this time, Xu Huang asked Cao Pi for support, which was a little too careful.

That......

"It's just according to the child." Xiahou didn't wait for what Xu Huang was saying, and immediately made up his mind.

"The three counties have stored grain, which is enough for half a year,

If Guan Yu is willing to confront me, he will be the one. ”

Xu Huang was helpless, and he could only bite the bullet and say:

"Guard, that must be guarded,

But if the Shu army continues to go north, we can't sit idly by and watch the sons and daughters die, and when the time comes, ......"

"Gongming rest assured," Xiahou Shang hurriedly interrupted, "The three eastern counties are not important places, and they really can't hold it, so our army will flee from Wuguan to Guanzhong as soon as possible." ”

Well, that's a good idea.

Although I don't know what Cao Pi and Jia Xu are thinking about, as long as they have a back-up move, Xu Huang is relieved.

The corners of Meng Da's mouth hooked up a smile, he saluted seriously, and said solemnly:

"I am willing to die for the King of Wei, if Guan Yu comes, he will fight to the death and not retreat!"
