For a while, Ma Liangxun looked around, and all the generals around him seemed to be frantically scrambling for the "siege vanguard", but no one could realize that the plan to capture Fancheng was wrong to implement now.

"The Jiangdong Sun clan will take the opportunity to fall into the well and attack Jingzhou."

At this moment, in the military discussion ten days ago, Guan Ping's words suddenly appeared in Ma Liang's mind, lingering!

After pondering for a long time, Ma Liang's eyes condensed slightly, and he said secretly: "Since the young general said that Dongwu betrayed the alliance, it is definitely not groundless. ”

"There are no eternal enemies in the world, and there are no eternal allies, once our army is strong, Cao Sun will definitely unite against our army."

After thinking about it a little, Ma Liang also affirmed Guan Ping's rhetoric more and more, taking Fancheng at this moment is definitely setting himself on fire, not a good strategy!

Just as Ma Liang was about to stand up to dissuade, Guan Yu, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly got up and stood straight, followed by Danfeng's eyes and thieves staring slightly, his face was serious, and he shouted: "Liao Hua, from now on, withdraw your own troops from the Hanshui defense line, and stick to the Huyang defense line to the north to prevent Cao thief reinforcements." ”

Previously, Guan Ping only led more than 5,000 people to cross the river to attack Xiangyang, and Guan Yu was not worried about him, after all, it was the first time to lead the army, so he also ordered Liao Hua to lead the army to patrol along the Hanshui River as Guan Ping's backup.

Therefore, this is where Guan Ping's hole cards are, otherwise he would have been provocative, and Lu Chang would have led the crowd out of the city to intercept Guan Ping.

At this moment, Xiangyang will also be taken, and the forces of the Han water defense line can be mobilized to the north to strengthen the defense in the north.

In the original history, the northern defense line was broken through by Xu Huang, which was also due to the lack of strength of the Jingzhou army.

Immediately, Guan Yu continued to order: "Zhao Lei, I order you to be the vanguard of the siege, and you must capture Fancheng, there must be no mistake!" ”

"No, no!"

When the order was handed down, Zhao Lei and Liao Hua did not dare to slack off, and immediately stood up and gave the order.

Seeing Guan Yuzhi's smug and confident look, Ma's conscience sank, and he said secretly: "It seems that the prince has been blinded by the victories in the past few days, and he is unaware of the crisis he is in now. ”

After thinking for a moment, Ma Liang suddenly stood up and said, "Prince, Liang opposes our army to continue to march, capture Fancheng, and fight a decisive battle with Cao's army. ”

The words fell, and all the generals in the tent looked at Ma Liang's weak figure.

At this moment, Guan Yu's face was also gloomy, and he said coldly: "Ji Chang, the plan is decided, and all the generals agree, why are you opposed?" ”

Looking directly at Guan Yu's breathtaking eyes, Ma Liang's face still did not change, and after a long time, he let out a long breath of turbidity, and said lightly: "Junhou, in the previous military discussion, the major general had analyzed the disadvantages of capturing Fancheng, and Liang will not repeat it. ”

"Liang only emphasizes one point here, that is, the prince must send troops back to defend Jingzhou, strengthen the rear garrison, and beware of a sneak attack in Jiangdong."

"Therefore, Liang suggests that the major general lead the people back to Nanjun and personally sit in Jiangling, I believe that with the resourcefulness of the young general, even if Jiangdong pours all his strength to take Jingzhou, it will definitely ensure that Jingzhou is safe and sound!"

By now, Ma Liang had already seen that Guan Yu's intention to take Fancheng had been decided and would not change, so he would adjust his strategy in time to recommend Guan Ping to lead the crowd back to Jingzhou.

Judging from the disadvantages of the previous military discussion of Guan Ping's taking of Fancheng, as well as the record of breaking Xiangyang in the 10th day, Ma Liang believes that with Guan Ping's ability to strategize and control the overall situation, as long as he can lead 5,000 elite soldiers to sit in Jingzhou, Jingzhou will be safe!

Hearing this, Guan Yu's face changed suddenly, and he refused: "No, the five thousand elite soldiers led by Ping'er are the most powerful in my Jingzhou army, this is the main force to attack Fancheng, how can it be overused, go back to the rear?" ”

"Secondly, since the Northern Expedition of our army, it has first submerged in the forbidden and Pang De Seventh Army, and then won a great victory in Xiangyang, and our army is at its strongest at this time.

After a pause, Guan Yu's face suddenly showed a contemptuous expression, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph, as for Sun Quan Xiao'er, it's just a group of Jiangdong rats, why be afraid?" ”

"Recently, I also heard that Lu Meng, the governor stationed in Lukou, returned to Jingkou to recuperate from his injuries due to illness, and now he is replaced by Lu Xun, a scholar with no name."

"No, Lu Xuncai wrote to me yesterday, praising and praising me, you wait to tell me, what are you afraid of such mediocre people?"

After that, Guan Yu took the opportunity to pick up a letter on the desk and showed it to everyone.

Since the flooding of the Seventh Army, Lu Xun took over the position of Lu Meng, stationed in Lukou, and wrote letters to compliment Guan Yu every day, which made Guan Yu, who was already extremely confident, look down on the scholar Lu Xun from his heart.

Therefore, Ma Liang's painstaking persuasion at this time is not a matter of fact!

Seeing the resoluteness on Guan Yu's face, Ma Liang stopped persuading him, so he had to retreat silently, and sighed secretly: "Alas, young general, Liang has done his best!" ”

"Next, I don't know if you have a plan to keep Jingzhou safe!"

At this moment, the greatest hope in Ma conscience's heart was pinned on Guan Ping.

………

Xiangyang City, the county capital

In the Hanshui camp, Guan Yu discussed with the generals the plan to capture Fancheng, of course, Guan Ping did not know for the time being, at this moment, he was dealing with the prisoner of war Li Ji.

"Li Ji, if I'm not mistaken, you should be the only son of the Marquis of Gonggong, right?"

"Now that you are still young, you still have a good future in the future, do you really bear to be foolish and loyal to Cao Thief, let your Li family be the last, and ruthlessly abandon your relatives?"

At this time, Guan Ping was in the position of the lord of the county government, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Li Ji, who was bound at the bottom of the stairs, and persuaded him to surrender.

In yesterday's siege battle, Li Ji and others were besieged heavily, and the wounded Li Ji actually killed several people at the last moment before he was captured!

At this point, Guan Ping also admired Li Ji's bravery, so he wanted to surrender to himself.

It's a pity that Guan Ping is good at saying that Li Ji still has a cold face, and his attitude of preferring to die is not worse than Pang De.

"Guan Ping thief, if you want to kill, you will kill, why bother to speak?"

"I clearly tell you that my father has been loyal to the King of Wei all his life, and as his son, he will naturally not be half-hearted and take refuge in you and other thieves."

"The name of the Li family's loyalty and righteousness is no worse than that of your Guan family."

When these words fell, Li Ji was speechless, so he made a calm appearance of going to death.

Seeing this, Guan Ping sighed in his heart: "In this era, there are so many loyal heroes!" ”

Until this time, Guan Ping finally understood why he loved the Three Kingdoms era so much in his previous life, without him, because of the endless loyal and brave people in this era.

Pang De, the five sons of Wei, the five tigers of Shu Han, and the twelve tiger ministers of Jiangbiao, and even Li Ji, a young man of the same age as Guan Ping, are all heroes who can give up their lives for loyalty and righteousness.

In such an era, why not make people feel excited, why not make people yearn for it?

After staring for a long time, Guan Ping said slowly: "Li Ji, you are worthy of being a loyal and brave hero, I respect you!" ”

Immediately, Guan Ping slowly walked down the steps, walked in front of Li Ji, and bowed.

"Less... Will... Army, this ........."

Seeing this, Deng Ai couldn't help but be puzzled by the fact that his own general actually saluted the enemy general.

Guan Ping waved his hand to interrupt Deng Ai's doubts and looked at Li Ji closely, he felt that this young man of his own age deserved his respect.

"Take Li Ji down to serve well, don't slack off!"

The order was handed down, and several guards were ordered to take Li Ji away from the county guard's mansion.

"Report, tell the young general, all the beards outside the mansion are white, and the old man in a gray robe is here, please see."

"Major General, I don't know if I see it or not?"

At this moment, the attendant outside the door hurriedly rushed into the mansion with a knife, and his hand was told to Guan Ping.
