In front of the angry Lu Meng, Yu Fu, who has always had a bad temper, also chose to remain silent.

He also felt that the timing of Liu Chan's attack was quite strange.

A few days after Yangqun arrived at the mouth of the Youjiang River, he actually accurately discovered the layout of Dongwu near the beacon tower.

Moreover, he didn't talk about evidence, indiscriminately, and directly arrested people and tortured them to death, obviously coming prepared.

When did Liu Beijun's meticulous work become so powerful?

"Liu Changong is scheming, there are meticulous works in our army, and the people under Ziming are not cautious enough."

Yu Xuan summed up the reasons for the annihilation of the whole army, and when he saw Lu Meng's angry cough, he sighed:

"If Ziming is relieved, this time the old man will go into battle in person and go to the mouth of the oil river to investigate the news,

More than a month, less than a few days, it will definitely be Ziming to regain control of Jiangyou. ”

Lu Meng looked up to the sky and sighed, and said helplessly:

"That's all it can be."

"Liu Chan's scheming is so meticulous and vicious, Zhong Xiang must be very careful,

If you find that the situation is not right, you would rather give up the rest of the people and return to Jiangdong. ”

Yu Fu sneered:

"Even Zhuge Kongming is in charge, and he doesn't want to keep me, Ziming can rest assured."

Seeing that Lu Meng was coughing badly, he grabbed Lu Meng's wrist, gently tested his pulse, and said:

"Ziming, your heart and lungs are hurt, now you must not be angry at will, in case you ......"

"I'm fine!" Lu Meng said angrily,

However, he realized that his tone was wrong in an instant, and he hurriedly apologized to Yu, and said with a wry smile:

"I know my own life,

I can still hold on for some time, these days, I must seek peace with Guan Yu and take the Yangtze River for the Supreme! ”

·

While Liu Chan and Lu Mengzhi teased, Guan Yu's army, which had achieved an unprecedented victory, was not idle.

With Mi Fang's favorable cooperation, the speed of preparation of Guan Yu's army far exceeded that of the past.

Everyone in the army is high-spirited and ready to follow General Guan north at any time to launch a great battle that will go down in history.

Guan Yu, who is nearly sixty years old, is in good spirits, and he faintly feels that this Northern Expedition will make great progress-

This premonition became stronger and stronger after the eldest brother defeated Cao Cao independently, head-on, and completely for the first time.

He felt that this was the best and last chance in his life.

The dream of the three brothers to support the Han family and save Li Min may be about to come true in his hands.

Except for Ma Liang, who went directly back to Chengdu to report to work after sending an envoy to Soochow, Guan Yu's army was all together.

Everyone had a premonition that after a month of patient preparation, the furious god of war was finally about to show his terrifying blade.

And the first victim was Cao Ren, who had been trembling in Fancheng for a month.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our army has enough food and drink, and it is a great opportunity to launch the Northern Expedition and restore the Han Dynasty.

I want to raise 20,000 troops, go north along the Han River, and fight to the death with Cao Renpifu, I don't know what the kings want? ”

Guan Yu couldn't pull back the ten cows that Guan Yu had decided, and he just asked the opinions of his subordinates casually.

Guan Ping, Liao Hua, and Zhao Lei really know Guan Yu's temper too well.

When they heard that Guan Yu was going on a northern expedition, they all stood together and said loudly:

"I am willing to be the precursor of the prince and the liver and brain, and I will not hesitate to do anything!"

"Hmm," Guan Yu nodded with satisfaction, expressing great satisfaction with the attitude of his subordinates to cooperate.

He turned his head to look into the corner and smiled:

"Adou, how do you want it?"

"Clams?"

Liu Chan was forced by Guan Yu to come to the meeting.

At this moment, Cao Ren's army is even weaker than in history, and Guan Yu only needs to push it over as in history, waiting for Yu Ban to send people to the head to win a big victory.

And he just needs to sit in Gangneung.

But Guan Yu seems to be very interested in this invincible strong army under Liu Chan,

He was ready to tie Liu Chan to his chariot and go with him to attack Fancheng.

Maybe with the help of Adou's luck, the battle will be smoother in the future.

Liu Chan was not ready to go to the Northern Expedition at all,

However, Zhuge Qiao and Jufu, who were also captured by Guan Yu, were high-spirited,

Listening to Guan Yu's request for Liu Chan's opinion, the two immediately turned their expectant eyes to Liu Chan, waiting for Liu Chan's magic stroke.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Chan could only smile bitterly, and said:

"General Guan is brave, this battle will inevitably break Cao Ren's ......"

"Good!"

Guan Yu said excitedly:

"Good, good,

Ping'er, present the map, and let Adou tell you about the strategy of attacking Xiangyang! ”

Guan Ping had already prepared, he and Zhao Lei started to lift the table in front of Liu Chan, and then spread the map on it, and said respectfully:

"Childe, please speak!"

The whole Guan Yu army admired Liu Chan, who captured Pang De and Chang Diao, and broke the main force of Cao Ren's water division.

This son has a destiny, and he is never proud of his achievements,

He, the overseer, has been in Jiangling for so long, in addition to silently urging Mi Fang to do things in Mi Fang's mansion, he really never interfered in the decision-making of Guan Yu's army.

This made these proud veterans very satisfied.

I heard that Liu Chan only had 200 people when he left Chengdu, and this successive battles and victories have expanded to as many as 1,000 people.

Everyone thought that this son must have a high theory, and they all gathered in front of the map, waiting for Liu Chan's explanation.

Liu Chan was already so frightened that his legs and stomach were weak at this time.

Where does he know what tactics and strategies?

Guan Yu's Northern Expedition described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is very easy, and he can't start talking about the god tactics of flooding the Seventh Army right now, right?

Someone has to believe it.

Otherwise, come to Haotian again?

Zhuge Qiao saw that Liu Chan seemed a little nervous, and said with a smile:

"The young general is brave, and I am willing to tell you about Xiangyang Fancheng,

If there are any mistakes or omissions, please also ask you to Haihan. ”

Guan Yu twisted his beard and said:

"The son of Kong Ming, there must be a high theory, and it doesn't hurt for Qiao Er to just say it."

The geographical location of Xiangyang City is very special,

In a word, it is that the mountains are covered with water, and the water is packed with mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

From the perspective of the overall pattern, the northeast of Xiangyang is Tongbai Mountain, the southeast is Dahong Mountain, the northwest is Wudang Mountain, and the southwest is the steep Jing Mountain.

The southern part of Xiangyang City is close to the Da Hyeon Mountain, and the north side is close to the Han River, and the Han River flows directly into the Yangtze River through the mountains, forming an absolute protection of Xiangyang.

In terms of the overall pattern, the framework of Xiangyang is already much stronger than the Central Plains of Pingchuan.

From a small point of view, the location of Xiangyang is more reassuring.

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and water on one side.

The stretch of Han water is the strong arm that protects it, and the vast Da Hyeon Mountain is the strong chest that supports it.

If you want to attack Xiangyang, it is impossible to go to the south of Da Xian Mountain (if you have a few thousand Bei Ye under your command I didn't say it),

The only chance was to cross the Han River to the north and attack the fortified city built on high ground.

At that time, Liu Biao relied on the Hanshui defense line to lead Sun Jian to Da Xian Mountain to shoot and kill, and beat Nanyang Yuan Shu into Huainan Yuan Shu, which fulfilled the prestige of Xiangyang.

If Guan Yu's army wants to attack Xiangyang, it must first go upstream from the south and run to the north of Xiangyang City to attack.

In this way, they must first solve the Fancheng Cao Ren in Jiangbei -

Otherwise, when they attacked the city, Cao Ren came from Fancheng and just killed all the dumplings in Guan Yu's army.

Geographically blind Liu Chan never knew that Xiangyang was so important, and after listening to Zhuge Qiao's explanation, he was amazed,

He stared at the map for a long time, but still couldn't find any clever way to attack Xiangyang, and he broke out in a cold sweat in a hurry.

Seeing that Liu Chan didn't speak, Zhuge Qiao continued to enliven the atmosphere and told Liu Chan the reason why he had to attack Xiangyang.

To the north of Xiangyang is the Nanyang Basin, which is an important town for the population and agriculture of the Han Dynasty.

To the south is the Jianghan Plain, which is the economic lifeblood of Jingzhou.

These two areas are completely unsafe,

And Xiangyang is the most core location,

Whoever controls Xiangyang is equivalent to controlling the initiative in the struggle for the world.

Listening to Zhuge Qiao's impassioned narration, Liu Chan was a little confused for a while,

According to the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, although Sun Quan briefly occupied Xiangyang, he was soon recaptured by Cao Wei.

From then on, Cao Wei could send troops from Cao Wei to invade Wu at will.

Sun Quan originally only needed to concentrate his forces on the Jianghuai front, but later he was forced to fight on two fronts.

What do you think he's trying to do?

Seeing that everyone was still looking at him, Liu Chan said timidly:

"This Northern Expedition must be completed to break through Xiangyang,

If you want to break Xiangyang, you must break Fancheng, right? ”

Guan Yu nodded and said:

"Yes, yes."

"Whew," Liu Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Since this is the case, we will besiege Fancheng, besiege but not attack,

Whoever comes to save Fancheng will fight whomever we want, how? ”
