Of course, there is a reason why Meng Da is better mixed than Shen Yi.

Shen Yi is a pure villain's behavior, because he wants a higher official and a thicker Lu to jump back.

This behavior is understandable, but it is certainly despised by others.

Mengda is different,

He had a fierce conflict with Liu Feng before and was bullied by Liu Feng.

It is reasonable to have no choice but to surrender at this time.

The history of what happened to Meng Dazhen's war has been proven.

But he is elegant in appearance, has a good background, and when it comes to military affairs, he is on a par with Ma Yan.

After surrendering, he took the initiative to present Xiahou Shang with a battle plan for guarding the three counties.

He thought that Guan Yu should have sent Zhao Lei, the governor of the water army, to follow the Han River to the west this time, and he himself led the army north to Nanxiang in order to completely eat the Wei army.

The Wei army has few soldiers and must not sit idly by, so it should be deployed in Wudang Mountain, use the mountains to fight a war of attrition with Guan Yu, and delay time as much as possible.

After a long delay, Cao Wei's main forces will be able to calmly support and form a counter-encirclement of Guan Yu.

And Meng Da also predicted that the Wei army came all the way to raid Shangyong, and it was definitely not a disease.

They must have a stronger backhand.

Xiahou Shang's military level is like that,

But Xu Huang is a veteran of a hundred battles.

He felt that Mengda's defensive tactics were very correct,

This person is a good soldier, and if he is really talented, he persuaded Xiahou Shang to listen to Meng Da's advice.

The Wei army that raided Shangyong was only 10,000, and the troops of Meng Da and Shen Yi had now expanded to 20,000.

Even if Guan Yu's 20,000 troops came, they were openly unafraid.

Xiahou Shang felt a little more confident in his heart, and began to arrange according to Meng Da's tactics.

What moved Xiahou Shang even more was that in order to avoid suspicion, Meng Da deliberately asked to select 3,000 of his subordinates to be scattered and arranged into Xiahou Shang and Xu Huang's troops.

He only led a thousand people to build a position along Wudang Mountain, saying that if Guan Yu was killed, Meng Da would rush to the front, and let Xiahou Shang and Xu Huang pick up the leaks in the back.

O loyal servants!

Meng Da was so loyal to Great Wei that Xiahou Shang was embarrassed.

He agreed to Meng Da's request, and in order to show his absolute trust in Meng Da, he also ordered that all Wei troops building fortifications on Wudang Mountain must be at Meng Da's disposal.

Whoever dares to say half a word is disobeying military law.

It seems that Da Wei is really getting better.

Meng Da, who was entrusted with the important task, saw that Xiahou Shang and Xu Huang trusted him so much, and his face also showed an expression of gratitude and sincere fear.

He pursed his lips and forcibly suppressed the emotion in his heart, so that he did not shed tears.

Good man,

Good guy.

Whether or not I, Meng Da, can be a marquis depends on this battle.

·

In Xiangyang City, Guan Ping and Ma Yu were talking seriously.

The scribe's hand talk is to play chess, but Guan Ping and Ma Yu are both stinky chess baskets, and playing chess can only abuse Mei Fu at most.

Two very self-aware people, each with a sapper shovel, were seriously competing.

Guan Ping's martial arts are as good as Guan Yu's true biography, Ma Yu couldn't beat him,

But today Guan Ping seems to be a little confused, and he was almost successfully attacked by Ma Yu several times.

"I said frankly, what's wrong with you today?"

Ma Yu threw the sapper shovel aside and said with a grin:

"Guan Gong's Northern Expedition, I didn't take you with me, and you became like this?"

Guan Ping wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said in a low voice:

"Before the prince wrote a letter, saying that the battle of the three eastern counties was only afraid of Cao Wei's plan.

This time, my father led the people to the north and went deep into the dangerous place, and as a son of man, he couldn't help kill the enemy, which was really a pity. ”

Ma Yu also put away the sapper shovel and said quite strangely:

"The prince is still concerned about the affairs of the three eastern counties in Yizhou, does it mean that the prince has already predicted?"

"Well, it's possible."

Ma Yu said gently: "I have served under the command of the prince for some time,

At that time, the prince showed an amazing ability to recognize people and earth-shattering strategies. ”

"Although the prince seems to have no scheming, this method of war and strategy is really rare in ancient times.

Since he had guessed early that Cao Wei was going to settle in the three eastern counties, he must have secretly left a calculation.

Before the prince and the Eastern Wu contended, they also slowly fell into the country, and finally used the means of vertical and horizontal to easily level the Eastern Wu army.

I think this time, Cao Wei is going to kick on the iron plate! ”

Guan Ping nodded and said:

"I hope so!"

He picked up the sapper shovel, and before the king of Hanzhong wrote to Guan Yu to tell Guan Yu that Guan Ping must be left to defend the city before the Northern Expedition was allowed.

Does this mean that there is an internal response in this Xiangyang City?

So, who should be inside?

While he was hesitating, the soldiers outside came to report, saying that they had received news that Liu Chan was personally leading a large army to Jiangling and would arrive soon.

Guan Ping's heart sank, and the princes of the secret Dao came in person, it seems that there is really a big war on the Xiangyang side,

You'll have to do your best to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Guan Ping hurriedly washed his face with cold water, shook his spirits, and convened the generals to discuss the matter.

He had just walked to the council hall when he saw the barbarian king Mei Fu hurrying over and whispering:

"Major General, the sentry came to report that the Wei army was heading north along the Han River, and it seems that it is going to be unfavorable to General Guan."

The only Wei army that could go north along the Han River was Wen Ping, who had been beaten by Guan Yu and his son many times before.

Guan Ping was not worried when he heard this.

"Wenpin, huh?

The last time he won Sun Quan, he thought he was invincible in the world,

If he dares to come to Xiangyang again this time, I will definitely call him back. ”

Mei Shiki smiled flatteringly and nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, in addition to Wenpin, there is also Changdiao.

The major general is strong in martial arts, uses soldiers like a god, and takes down the two thieves, which must be a gesture. ”

Guan Ping smiled bitterly:

"General Mei praises falsely, where does Guan Ping dare to call the use of soldiers like gods?

But the son of the world is really like a god,

I just received the news that the prince has arrived, and I am much more relieved to have the prince in charge. ”

Hehe, I feel more at ease when I come to Changdiao,

Other Wei generals may have to bother to deal with it for a while, just rely on Chang Diao?

The higher the status of this kind of flattering minister, the greater the blow to Cao Wei.

It's best to be a general, then Cao Wei will really be finished.

Hearing that Liu Chan was coming, Mei Shiki's face, which was still full of spring breeze just now, suddenly had a trace of panic.

He said in amazement:

"This, the son of the world is coming?

He, didn't he go back to Yizhou? ”

"That's right," Guan Ping nodded, "The prince asked the king of Hanzhong to write a book to warn his father, saying that there is Cao Wei's internal response in Xiangyang City.

That's why my father left me to guard Xiangyang in case of accidents. ”

"Is that so?" The expression on Mei Shiki's face changed from shocked to blindfolded to overwhelmed, and it looked quite weird.

Although the troops under Mei Shiki were outnumbered, most of them were a group of barbarians with little formal training.

There are also many Han people who don't understand the language of Guan Yu's subordinates,

Guan Yu was afraid that Meifu would get in the way, so after the battle of Xiangyang, he gave him the title of a miscellaneous general, and asked him to return to Zhengzhong for spring ploughing, and call him again when the war will be.

Umeshiki was reluctant to fight in the first place.

When he heard this, he immediately took his leave, and happily returned to the land in the middle of the river, where the soil was fertile, the spring ploughing was going well, and he also began to sow some of the dwarf rice provided by Liu Chan, which was really a thriving scene.

Probably in return for the seeds provided by Liu Chan, Mei Shi recently sent grain to Xiangyang.

Hearing that Guan Yu was going on an expedition, he responded positively, ready to throw himself into the vast sea of war at any time, and contribute his own strength to the revival of the Han Dynasty.

Guan Yu naturally didn't dare to take Meishiki with those brute soldiers who could only fight with the wind and had no combat quality.

He left Meifu in Xiangyang, and persuaded him that as long as he did the basic work well and transported the grain well, he would make a great contribution to the Han family.

Forget the rest.

Guan Ping saw that the expression on Mei Shiki's face was different, and he was slightly puzzled.

Still, he seemed to feel something.

The prince hinted that there must be an internal response in this city.

I don't know who General Mei thinks is in this city? ”

Mei Shiki took a step back and subconsciously pressed his hand on the sword at his waist.

"Major General, this should be me."

With a wave of his rough hand, more than a dozen brute soldiers armed with hard crossbows jumped out of Guan Ping's side.

Guan Ping's soldiers also hurriedly drew their swords and guarded in front of Guan Ping.

But Mei Shi put his hand in his mouth and whistled again, and dozens of brutes came out around the council hall, each holding a sharp blade, and surrounded Guan Ping.

"Major General, didn't expect that?"

Mei Shiki's honest face was a little more proud,

"Major General, General Guan, and Shizi also trust us too much."

"We don't speak the same language, we have different customs,

The public still dared to let us lead the troops, provide us with books and seeds, and wanted to accept us as the people of the Han Dynasty. ”

"It's different on the side of Da Wei,

King Wei said, as long as I am willing to surrender to Great Wei, I will be prosperous and rich for the rest of my life,

This Longzhong and Zhonglu were also given to me, so that I could continue to be a general. ”

"I've known Wenpin for more than 20 years.

Although this man looks stupid, he is quite cautious and witty.

I'm afraid that in this battle, Guan Gong will suffer! ”
