Chapter 64: No, No
Two days later, Guan Yu's Northern Expedition was finally ready to stop.
On the dock outside Jiangling City, the army was crowded with murderous spirits, and the 30,000 Han troops slowly assembled on the shore in an orderly manner.
There are also tens of thousands of people who put down their day's work and spontaneously walked outside the city to bid farewell to these soldiers who were about to go on the expedition.
Among these warriors who are about to go on the expedition are their fathers, brothers, relatives and friends,
They usually eat the same rice millet as them, wear the same clothes as them, laugh and laugh with them,
I don't know how many people will be able to return safely after this war is over.
Everyone knows that they are about to face a shocking battle that will never stop dying.
Although Cao Ren was defeated, he was still the top general of the Cao army, and the Cao army would never give up the important place of Xiangfan.
These tens of thousands of people will definitely face a steady stream of Cao army rescuers coming from all directions.
I don't know if I can withstand it.
The scene is a little silent,
All the soldiers were staring ahead in unison.
They knew that every time they went out to fight, Guan Gong would say something to boost their morale.
This time was no exception.
On the eve of the expedition, Guan Yu carefully combed his beard and hair, changed into a brand-new Yingge green robe, and wore a stab-proof vest given by Liu Chan.
He stepped on the muddy ground under his feet and slowly walked to a makeshift wooden platform.
Looking at the young or old faces below, he said in a deep voice:
"Gentlemen, we are going on a northern expedition."
Guan Yu's voice was powerful and powerful, and with the help of the megaphone sent by Liu Chan, his voice was more heroic than before, so that everyone could hear it clearly.
It also shocked the hearts of those soldiers who were a little timid and confused.
That's what it is...... A divine artifact from heaven?
With God's blessing this time, can we be invincible and return safely?
Guan Yu looked at the expectant faces, and suddenly felt a little emotional.
He paused, simply put aside the rhetoric he had memorized all night last night, and said aloud:
"Gentlemen, why are we going on the Northern Expedition?"
Liu Chan listened to Guan Yu's words not far away, clenched his fists lightly, and said loudly:
"Cao Cao stole the Central Plains, coerced the Son of Heaven, and pretended to be a Han minister, but he was actually a thief.
When we send troops, we want to recover the Central Plains and restore the Han Dynasty! โ
Liu Chan's words received a unanimous response from his generals, Zhuge Qiao and Jufu raised the sapper shovel in their hands and shouted:
"Restore the Central Plains and revive the Han Dynasty!"
"Restore the Central Plains and eliminate the Cao thief!"
The army cheered in unison, and the sound soared into the sky, making the originally dull scene instantly enliven a lot.
But Guan Yumulan shook his head and said:
"It's not all there."
"Many years ago, my eldest brother and third brother and I were still under Tian Kai's command,
At that time, Cao Mengde was already a powerful party that shocked the world.
He marched south to Xuzhou and killed many people,
At that time, the world was strong and powerful, full of benevolence, righteousness and virtue, and everyone was worried about the people, but none of them dared to face Cao Mengde's soldiers.
That Yuan Shao even aided Cao Cao and sent Zhu Ling to help Cao Cao, killing tens of thousands of corpses. โ
"Our three brothers only have more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and we don't want to go to Xuzhou for this troubled water.
But the eldest brother took me and others to the south to investigate, only to see that the once rich Xuzhou was full of white bones exposed in the wild, and there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.
Cao Jun passed, red blood flowed, ghosts everywhere,
The man was trampled into mud, and the old woman was cut in two.
Many of the children broke their limbs and fell into the river crying.
Guan couldn't describe the tragic situation of that day, but since that day, my three brothers have sworn that even if they are crushed, they will fight Cao Cao to the death. โ
"It's been almost thirty years,
Over the years, Lu Bu was defeated, Yuan Shao was defeated, Liu Biao was defeated, and Ma Chao and Han Sui were also defeated.
Those who dare to fight Cao Cao to the death are the only ones left. โ
"Now Cao Cao is indiscriminately conscripting and conscripting, the people's grievances are boiling, and there is constant rebellion under his rule.
Lu Hun Sun Wolf could not bear the pain of conscription, and changed the chaos to respond to the righteous banner of our army,
As long as our army occupies Xiangfan, Cao Cao will be defeated, and the troubled times will end.
May you do your best to kill thieves for all the people of the world! โ
Guan Yu's extremely incendiary rhetoric made everyone's blood boil,
Liu Chan jumped up and down excitedly, shouting to kill the thief,
He can't wait for a few years older to grow up, and his strength will increase a few points, so that he can fight side by side with his second uncle.
Listening to Guan Yu talk about the blood and tears in Xuzhou, Zhuge Qiao, Ju Fu, and Ma Yu, who had read the book, were all angry, saying that they would fight to the death with Cao Jun to the end.
With a wave of Guan Yu's big hand, the sergeants began to board the ship quickly and neatly,
Soon the big ships were occupied.
Guan Yu stood quietly on the shore, looking at the backs of these soldiers, and only turned around for a long time before he turned around and said:
"Zifang, everything is entrusted to you."
Mi Fang has been hiding in the distance and secretly observing.
Listening to Guan Yu talk about the tragic situation in Xuzhou, he remembered his happy days in Xuzhou again.
His nose was sour, and he couldn't help but cry.
"Yun Chang, you, be careful."
Hearing Guan Yu call herself, Mi Fang slowly stepped forward with tears in her eyes, and said sincerely:
"Be careful, be careful."
The two have known each other for twenty-eight years, and the green hair of the year has long since turned into white hair.
Mi Fang suddenly felt that her usual small calculations were simply childish and ridiculous in front of Guan Yu's great pride.
He wiped the corners of his eyes and said:
"Gangneung City has me, brother and peace of mind.
Gong, yes, I want to avenge my sister. โ
Guan Yu glanced at him, turned around and left,
Mi Fang looked at Guan Yu's back blankly, and only heard Guan Yu say for a long time:
"You don't need to say it."
ยท
Liu Chan has been thinking hard about ways to attack Xiangyang in the past few days.
He also deliberately put all his dog-headed military advisors together and forced them to give him ideas.
Zhuge Qiao, the chief dog-headed military advisor, came up with a roundabout tactic of climbing Da Xian Mountain, which was immediately denied by Ma Yu;
Jufu thinks that although Xiangyang is high and deep, the troops are insufficient, and Liu Chan should ask Guan Yu more to ask people to attack directly.
But Ma Yu, who had fought with Lu Chang, thought that Lu Chang used good soldiers, and the strong attack was clearly looking for death, and it would also disperse Guan Yu's forces to fight Fancheng, of course he couldn't adopt it;
Ding Feng proposed to dig a tunnel to attack Xiangyang, and Ma Yu mercilessly ridiculed that this was simply the stupidest idea.
Not to mention that Xiangyang City is built at the water's edge, whether there will be a problem of water permeability when digging tunnels, just how much work is done to dig tunnels in the city near this mountainous area.
Is it true that all the people in the city are blind?
Jufu was furious, pointed to Ma Yu's nose and said:
"You have pushed back in every way, but what is your plan to break the enemy?"
Ma Yu smiled awkwardly and said:
"I can't think of it, that's why I want to hear your opinions.
I didn't expect your ideas to be worse than mine. โ
Liu Chan pulled his hair in annoyance and said:
"Could it be that this Xiangyang City is impregnable, as long as it is strictly defended, it cannot be attacked?"
"That's impossible." Ma Yu said confidently, "To attack Xiangyang, you must first take Fancheng,
As long as Guan Gong breaks Fancheng early and makes Lu Chang fearful, I think he will also open the door early and beg to surrender. โ
"Aren't you the same as you didn't say?" Jufu smiled, "When Guan Gong breaks the city, how can you see the means of the son?" โ
Liu Chan had been concentrating on recalling the various strategies and tactics that Zhuge Liang had told him before the expedition,
Zhuge Liang greatly admired the regular soldiers, and even believed that logistics was more important than strategy.
If he fights Xiangyang, what means should he use?
Liu Chan hesitated for a moment and said:
"In this way, when the city of Xiangyang is under the city, our army will find a way to cut off the connection between the city and the outside.
And then...... Then I wrote to Lu Chang to persuade him to surrender. โ
Ma Yu shook his head and said:
"No."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were not good, he sneered:
"It's really impossible, now that Gongzi wrote a letter and almost killed Lu Meng, the news has spread,
How dare Lu Chang accept Childe's letter again?"
