Chapter Ninety-Eight: Ice Chisel
"Prince, this strategy must not be used!"
When the words fell, Wang Fu did not hesitate and immediately objected.
"Xiangguan is one of the common trade ports between our army and the Eastern Wu side, and the grain stored in it is not only our army, but also the Jiangdong side, and the grain should also be sent to consult with Sun Quan, otherwise once it is taken without authorization, Sun Quan will inevitably be annoyed and angry."
"At that time, the Wu army, which was planning to attack Jingzhou, will be even more justified and have an excuse to go against the west."
As soon as he spoke, Ma Liang also stood up and persuaded.
His current plan is to stabilize Jiangdong for the time being, and then drag it out until his main force returns to help, and it is not appropriate to have a disagreement at the right time.
In this way, the situation will be extremely unfavorable!
Although Guan Ping had already led the crowd back to defend in advance, Ma Liang was also worried in his heart at this time, whether he could resist the all-out attack of the Wu army with thousands of troops.
Hearing this, Guan Yu stroked his beard and pondered, his face was indifferent, and he said lightly: "Send an envoy to inform?" ”
"Hmph, with Sun Quan's temperament, will he let our army take it, I'm afraid that the negotiations will last for several months, and our army will run out of food."
"Therefore, this commander ordered to take it directly, continue to storm Fancheng, and after capturing the city and beheading Cao Ren, he will return to the division in the south."
After a few words, Guan Yu made a decision.
At this moment, when he learned the news that Jiangdong had allied with Cao Sun, he couldn't sit still.
"Cao Sun Alliance, Cao Mengde, you are playing a circle, I'm afraid that now Sun Quan is fighting hard and plotting to attack my Jingzhou, right?"
Guan Yu muttered that he had been in Jingzhou for many years, and he had already figured out the mercenary personality of Sun Quan.
"Ping'er, since you have returned to the army, the safety of Jingzhou will be entrusted to you, and you will definitely return to the division after breaking Fancheng for your father."
Soon, Guan Yu made a decisive decision, and the sergeant Jingzhou immediately went south to report the matter of taking Xiangguan rice.
Then, Guan Yu gathered the whole army, went to Fancheng in person, ordered the generals, and stormed the city.
For a while, the shouts of killing on both sides shook the sky, and Cao Jun was even more resistant with his flesh and blood.
………
Hannam, west of Xiangyang City, Shuiying.
At this time, Zhou Cang led the crowd to gather in the water camp, surrounded by Qiantou in cloth clothes, standing on the shore, waiting for dispatch.
Almost all of these people were from the vicinity of Xiangyang, but at this moment, they were recruited by Zhou Cang to gather here and unanimous the ice and loosen the ice on the Han River.
"It seems that you have arrived, so the general will not say more, let's start!"
"The rewards promised to you by the generals will be fulfilled after the war."
For a long time, Zhou Cang stood in front of the people and said loudly.
After making a promise, the people did not hesitate any longer, picked up the ice digging tools that had been prepared, and walked towards the Hanshui section that had begun to freeze, and then began to dig the ice.
In the middle of the sound, Zhou Cang patrolled the coast, looking at the people who were not afraid of the temperature and cold, and the ice was in full swing, and he couldn't help but think a lot.
"What the young general said is true, as long as there is enough reward, the people can be used by our army!"
When he was leaving, Guan Ping also gave Zhou Cang a bag, and after opening it, what was written in this bag was to call the surrounding people, give them benefits, and dig loose ice to prevent Cao's army from crossing the river.
Since it is now winter, the temperature has plummeted, and when the severe cold comes, the temperature will drop even more, and the upper and lower parts of the Han River will naturally begin to freeze.
If left unchecked, then in some places with deep ice, Cao's army could completely cross the river by stepping on the ice, and then flank the Jingzhou army with Eastern Wu.
Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, Guan Ping had already anticipated it, and began to dig and loosen the ice in advance, and then the naval army held the most important crossings on the river.
Only by holding the Han River can Yangyang be safe and avoid being attacked.
Although in the original history, the Cao army only repelled the Jingzhou army, and did not cross the river to pursue, but chose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and sit and watch the Jingzhou army and the Wu army fight.
But now Guan Ping does not dare to bet, the Cao army in this life will sit back and watch the changes, after all, now that Xiangyang City has been captured, can he lead the crowd to seize it when the battle between himself and the Wu army is fierce?
In other words, if the Jingzhou army successfully held Jingzhou and repelled the Wu army's attack, would Cao Cao still sit back and watch the changes?
In short, Guan Ping didn't dare to gamble, so he had already thought about it before, digging loose ice to avoid the possibility of Cao Jun crossing the river on ice.
At this moment, Hanbei and Hannan presented different scenes, the north side shouted and killed the sky, and the offensive and defensive battles continued to be impermanent, but the south bank was where people gathered on the ice every day, and they were in full swing.
Two days passed in a flash.
Jingkou, Wuhou Mansion.
"What, Guan Yu took Xiangguan rice without permission and supported the front line?"
At this moment, in the mansion, hearing the announcement of the sergeant under the ranks, Sun Quan was instantly startled and said loudly.
"Yes, my lord, the Jingzhou army came to Xiangguan yesterday and forcibly transported away the grain, without taking our soldiers into account at all."
As soon as the words fell, Sun Quan's face became gloomy, and his anger became more and more vigorous, and he shouted angrily: "Guan Yu, since you are so despised and lonely, Lone will definitely make you pay the price you deserve." ”
"You go quickly to Zhang Zhao and Zhuge Jin, let them enter the mansion quickly, and discuss important matters."
After thinking for a moment, Sun Quan couldn't help but turn yin into joy and commanded.
"No!"
When the order was issued, the sergeant under the rank had already been frightened by Sun Quan's anger just now, and he did not drag the mud and water at the moment, and often retreated in an instant after receiving the order.
Half ringing, about two quarters of an hour.
The footsteps outside the mansion were gradual, Zhuge Jin and the old Zhang Zhao on crutches got out of the carriage, then met, and ran to the mansion together.
On the way, Zhuge Jin smiled, turned his head to look at Zhang Zhao from the side, and said indifferently: "Zhang Gong thinks that the lord is so urgent to summon us and others, but what is the matter?" ”
"The will of the lord, how can we speculate?"
Hearing this, Zhang Zhaoruo on the side was the same clock, stroking his beard while walking, and said lightly.
"Old fox."
Seeing Zhang Zhao's expression, Zhuge Jin didn't know that his heart was already like a mirror, so it was better to scold secretly.
Immediately, Zhuge Jin smiled on his face to prevent embarrassment, and seemed to be smiling: "Gong Zhang, according to the younger generation, the opportunity for our army to expand its territory has come." ”
As soon as the words came out, Zhang Zhao smiled and said nothing!
After a while, the two of them walked into the mansion at the same time, bowed in unison, and said: "The old minister (the last general) visited the lord, but I don't know if the lord summoned me and others, is there something important?" ”
At this time, looking at Sun Quan's expression as usual, without the slightest wave, without the slightest joy or anger, the two couldn't help asking.
After the words fell, Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "Oh, it's Zibu and Ziyu who have arrived, please sit down!" ”
"No."
Immediately, the two of them walked to the side table, and then sat down on the mat and waited.
In the middle of the sound, Sun Quan, who was on the main throne, looked indifferent, and chuckled: "Zibu, Ziyu, it is now close to the middle of October, and the temperature is getting colder and colder. ”
"What do you think, at this moment, our army takes the opportunity to attack Jingzhou, what is the timing?"
