Chapter 36 Crossing the Water

"Pound, why is he here?"

Hearing this, Guan Ping muttered, his face changed for a moment, and he said slowly: "Let him come over!" ”

As Pang De strode in front of Guan Ping, he immediately bowed his hand and said, "Major General, please allow the last general to follow with the army." ”

"General Pang is sure to go north with the army, do you know that this time you go north to Xudu, you can also meet many of your former comrades in Cao Ying, and even your son Pang Hui."

"Ben General also decided to let you stay in Xiangyang after careful consideration."

"General Pang, after all, you have just left the Cao camp and returned to our army, and you may not have completely let go of the Cao army in the past, so you will stay for the time being."

"There are still many opportunities for meritorious service in the future, and General Ling Ming doesn't have to rush this time at all!"

For not to bring Pang De with him, Guan Ping naturally has his considerations, Pang Lingming is a new investment after all, and his battle is deep into the hinterland of Cao Wei, if Pang De really has any changes at that time.

Guan Ping can't even find a place to cry!

"In the rear, we must be cautious."

At this time, Guan Ping thought secretly and looked resolute.

It's just that Pang De's attitude is extremely resolute at the moment, and he surrenders his hand to the battle: "Young General, please do it!" ”

"Although virtue has been returned to the Han Dynasty, the family members of the last general are still in Xudu."

"De is willing to go north, on the one hand, to make contributions to the Han, on the other hand, he also wants to solve the worries of his family, so that he will be loyal to the Han wholeheartedly in the future."

"Please also ask the major general to do it!"

At this moment, Pound's expression was calm, his face was full of determination, and he pleaded.

Seeing this, after thinking for a moment, Guan Ping muttered: "That being the case, General Pang, return to your position." ”

Hearing this, Pang De was immediately overjoyed, and said loudly: "Thank you for the kindness of the young general." ”

As soon as the words fell, Pound took his knife and went straight to the fishing boat.

After a long time, seeing that the soldiers had already boarded the boat, ready to go, and the gate was pale, he turned to Zhou Cang, who was seeing off on the shore, and arched his hand: "General Zhou Cang, Xiangyang is on the important business, and I will leave it to you!" ”

"Major General, don't worry, you must return safely."

At this time, Zhou Cang's face remained unchanged, but his resolute cheeks were always worried about Guan Ping'an.

After receiving the reply, Guan Ping smiled and passed, and with a sharp sword at his waist, he got on the boat with a knife and ordered, "Pull out!" ”

When the order was laid, more than 100 fishing boats quickly rowed and gradually disappeared into the foggy night river.

At this time, Zhou Cang looked at the back of the Jingzhou soldiers who were far away, and couldn't help shedding a trace of tears on his cheeks, and said secretly: "Young General, you must return safely." ”

On the bank of the river, let the river wind blow the battle robe, Zhou Cang stood here tightly, his eyes fixed on the night, like a lifeless stone lion.

On the river, after a while, Guan Ping looked at the water surface in front of him that was gradually about to diverge into the water, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Shizai, the front is convenient to enter the water line, in order to prevent the army from moving too much, it is easy to be noticed by the Cao Jun's eyeline along the coast." ”

"Next, you and I will lead a group of people, scatter in disguise, and then cross the water safely, and meet at Dahu Mountain."

Hearing this, Deng Ai's face remained unchanged, and he calmly received the order: "No! ”

Immediately, after the military order was issued, the 3,000 soldiers picked up the fishermen's clothes on the fishing boats one after another, and then began to change their clothes.

Changing into fishing clothes and scattering in disguise, this plan was a decision made jointly by Guan Ping and Deng Ai after unanimous discussion.

After all, the distance between the two sides of the river is far less wide than that of the Han River, and if the Jingzhou soldiers swagger through the water, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Cao army along the coast.

In this way, it will not be possible to achieve the effect of suddenly attacking Xudu, making Cao's army busy and demoralized.

This time he went north, Guan Ping also had the morale of the Cao army on the front line of Fancheng, and if he could really help his father capture Fancheng, it would not be a loss.

However, this is not the main plan.

After a while, the whole army, from Guan Ping down, changed into fishing clothes.

"Less...... Will... Army, that... Ai went first...... Leave and leave. ”

As soon as Quan Yu sounded, Deng Ai did not hesitate, then hid his weapons and military uniforms, and led an army along the other bank of Bishui.

Seeing Deng Ai leading the crowd away, Guan Ping, who was wearing a fishing suit, also said slowly: "This time to cross the water, the general will not be the main general such as you for the time being, and the various departments will disperse along the water." ”

"Wu Chang, Shi Chang, Du Bo, Hundred Governors, Military Marquis, etc., you and other generals must ensure that the whole army can cross the water safely."

Breaking the whole into parts is Guan Ping's plan to cross the water.

"No!"

The order was passed down, the generals and other people gave up the order, and the Jingzhou soldiers quietly pretended to be fishermen to enter the water and move forward.

………

Early the next morning, the camp on the north bank, in the military tent

"Yesterday, the soldiers of our army fought desperately, which has made Fancheng crumbling, and today once Ping'er leads the army."

"Fancheng, it's going to be broken!"

At this time, Guan Yu sat on the ground, stroked his long beard under his forehead, and said happily.

It's no wonder that he is happy, Xiangfan is an important barrier to attack Wanluo, and it is also where the fortified city is located, but now his army is below Xiangyang, as long as he takes Fancheng.

Then your army will be able to take advantage of the victory to go north, seize Wanluo, and then completely grasp the initiative, enter the army in Xudu, or enter the west into Guanzhong, and then connect Shuzhong.

Retreat can also help protect Jingxiang and compete with Cao Jun!

Seeing that Guan Yu was so excited, the generals in the tent congratulated respectfully: "This is because the prince expected the enemy to take the lead, and deliberately chose the Northern Expedition in the rainy autumn season. ”

"In this way, our army can be invincible and defeat Cao's army repeatedly."

Slowly listening to the congratulatory voice, Guan Yu's vanity became stronger and stronger, and his face became more and more ruddy, so he laughed heartily.

What a happy scene in the tent!

Seeing this, although Ma Liang on the side showed his composure, he was already anxious in his heart, and said secretly: "Young General, Young General, what can you do!" ”

"Now that the prince's self-confidence has been unprecedentedly proud with the successive victories, if this continues, our army will definitely be in danger of overturning!"

In Ma Liang's view, the current army is not only a problem of the commander Guan Yu, but with the great victories in the past few days, the whole army has shown a situation of "arrogant soldiers".

Now, the soldiers in the army will talk about such words.

"I originally thought that Cao Jun was a northern athlete, and he must be strong and extremely elite, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that!"

"Yes, yes, we have won several games in a row, and it may not be long before we can attack Xudu."

"It's our luckiest thing to follow General Guan!"

Today's Jingzhou soldiers are generally looking down on the elite of the Cao army that once frightened them.

However, at this moment, Ma Liang was extremely worried, and said secretly: "The so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated!" ”

"Major General, there is nothing good to do!"

At this moment, Ma Liang sighed softly on the side, he couldn't stop Guan Yu's plan to take Fancheng.

"Report, tell the prince, the young general has a letter to come."

Suddenly, just as there was joy and laughter in the tent, a guard rushed into the tent and said in a loud voice.
