It's easier to destroy than to build!

In just one day, most of the four walls of Shinno Castle were destroyed, and it was unbearable.

"This city will be like this for now!"

Gao Shun just glanced at it, and then said to Pang De: "After years of operation, the land of Jingxiang has been managed by Guan Yu and Ma Liang to be impregnable. In particular, Jingzhou's water network is dense, and all the cities are in the waterways, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Pang De was puzzled: "Your Majesty has already taken Zitong and Mianzhu, Chengdu is already in sight, I think it won't be long before Liu Bei can be captured alive, won't the land of Jingyi be able to fall by the wind?" Moreover, Guan Yu was worried about Shudi, so he sent troops without authorization, and he was not in Xiangyang, and his strength dropped greatly, or he did not have much power to resist. ”

"No!"

Gao Shun shook his head and said solemnly: "As long as Ma Liang is here, Guan Yu's departure will not have much impact." Moreover, Guan Ping has the true biography of Guan Yu, and even faintly has the tendency of being better than the blue, and he has not become much weaker! ”

Although Pang De didn't think that Guan Ping was stronger than Guan Yu, he still had a great influence on Guan Pingzai, so he nodded.

Gao Shun cleaned up his mood and said: "Fancheng, Dengsai, and Dengxian, these three places, together with Hanshui, Shushui, and Da Xianshan, surround Xiangyang tightly. Therefore, if you want to take Xiangyang, you must first go to Fancheng, Dengsai, and Deng County. ”

Pang De immediately said: "Dudu, the last general is willing to go to capture Fancheng." ”

Gao Shun did not agree immediately, but muttered for a while before nodding and said: "Be careful, when the Governor of Pontus takes Deng County and Deng Sai, he can relieve your siege." ”

Pound nodded.

Then, Gao Shun sent another 10,000 infantry troops to follow him.

Fancheng, located in the northwest of Xiangyang, adjacent to the Hanshui, there is Atou Mountain near the left, the terrain is special, if you want to enter, you can only enter from between Fancheng and Xiangyang, so it is easy to be attacked from both sides. That's why Gao Shun hesitated, but he felt that Pang De should be able to do a good job, and it was only in order to avoid accidents that he sent an extra 10,000 infantry troops.

After Pang De led the troops away, Gao Shun pounced on Chaoyang City near the left. According to the news, Ma Liang was in the city at this time.

"If you can catch it, it is better to break Jingzhou's arm!"

Chen Deng quite agreed with this, but he was still cautious: "What the governor said is reasonable, but judging from the past, Ma Liang was extremely cautious, and the army had already withdrawn before it reached Xinye. Although there are other reasons for this, his subordinates think that if they want to catch Ma Liang, they must be cautious and thoughtful. ”

Gao Shun nodded and said, "Ma Liang has elite guards around him at all times, and he can't get close to him for more than ten zhang, so it is very difficult to capture him from the inside." I don't know if there is a good way to go through history? ”

Chen Deng shook his head and said: "What the governor wants is to be captured alive, unless Ma Liang does not leave, otherwise, it will not be possible in a short time." ”

"Hmmm......"

Gao Shun pondered for a while and said, "It's okay, then wait for news from Your Majesty!" When the time comes, without Liu Bei, can he Ma Liang still hold on? ”

Chen Deng also smiled and said, "That's right! Persistence may show loyalty, but it harms the people; If he doesn't insist, Guan Yu and the others are afraid that they won't be able to spare him. How will Maleonn choose? ”

Gao Shun said: "What if Guan Yu is gone?" ”

"Huh?"

Chen Deng was stunned for a moment, and then frowned.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Guan Yu and Liu Bei are righteous brothers, and they may have deep feelings for each other, even if Liu Bei dies, they will not have other ideas." But if Liu Bei dies and Guan Yu is gone, then Guan Ping ......"

Gao Shun frowned when he heard this.

Chen Deng breathed a sigh of relief——

"It's hard to say!"

"Perhaps!"

Gao Shun's face suddenly turned pale, and he said coldly: "When it really comes to that time, I can only use hot hands." ”

Chen Deng nodded and didn't say anything more.

Guan Yu has been running Jingzhou for a long time, and all the main water and land roads are guarded.

Pound didn't pay attention to it, and directly led the troops to rush and beat violently, and Yilu had no power to fight back, so he was broken through. Speeding all the way to Fancheng, only half of the cowardly and cowardly people were able to escape and go to Xiangyang to report the news.

By the time Guan Ping got the news, Pang De had already broken through the roadblocks and arrived at the foot of Deatou Mountain.

"Is this going to attack Fancheng, or to cut off the connection between Xiangfan?"

Guan Ping was puzzled by this.

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers knew the opportunity, but they were silent.

Jiang Wan glanced at the two of them and said, "The Ming army has three intentions in this move. ”

"Three?" Guan Ping was surprised.

"First, the general used star tactics to build Xiangyang into a solid one, and the Ming army would not be ignorant, and the surrounding towns were most in Fancheng, if they could break it, it would be no less than breaking Xiangyang's arm."

"Second, to attract the attention of the major general, as it is now. Then take the opportunity to attack other cities, especially Deng County and Deng Sai. ”

"Third, show the bravery of the Ming army, if you can't get rid of the Ming army as soon as possible, the morale of our army will inevitably drop greatly."

Guan Ping was puzzled: "Gongyan, this ...... Isn't it inconsistent? ”

"This is exactly the genius of the Ming army."

Jiang Wan's face was full of indifference, and he was holding the pearl of wisdom: "No matter what you do, the Ming army can benefit." The most important thing is ......"

The voice dragged on, and his face became a little strange: "Is the young general sure that he will repel them?" ”

Repel, not defeat, not total annihilation!

Guan Ping was even more shocked and didn't know how to answer.

The Kuailiang brothers sneered in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces.

Earlier, the two brothers also sincerely wanted to work for Liu Bei, but they had not been taken seriously for many years, and even the rising star Jiang Wan had more trust than them, so they couldn't help but have other ideas in their hearts. Moreover, in the past two years, they have repeatedly attacked the north, but they have not achieved an inch, and they have seen the general trend of the world.

Yes, the experience of these two years has made them understand. Probably this is also the reason why they are not taken seriously, after all, Ma Liang and the others have already seen it before, and even Jiang Wan later saw it one or two, but they didn't say it.

In this case, the Kuai Liang brothers naturally had other thoughts. It's just that the foundation of the two brothers is in Xiangyang, so they didn't secretly communicate with the Ming army.

As everyone knows, this is the reason why Ma Liang suggested that Guan Yu not reuse them.

Everyone in the world is faithful, but in the eyes of the Kuai brothers, they are home.

Today is the family to serve Liu Bei, and he can become a family in the future.

Guan Ping pondered for a long time and said, "What does Gongyan think should be done?" ”

Jiang Wan also sighed in his heart at this time, and said: "No matter what, we have to send troops, even if we can't repel this way of the Ming army, at least we have to drag it out." ”

Perhaps, the general can return in time, or the siege can be lifted!

Jiang Wan didn't say this, and there ......

"Well, as it should be!"

Guan Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Who can go?" ”

Jiang Wan was silent for a moment and said, "If the young general is worried, Wan Ke will go." ”

"No!"

Guan Ping directly refused, thought about it again, and said, "Where is Gan Ning?" ”

Gan Ning? Not bad!

Jiang Wan nodded secretly and replied, "Young General, General Gan is in the water village in the north of the city at this time. ”

"Hmm."

Guan Ping said: "Someone! ”

"Major General."

"Summoning Gan Ning quickly."

"Yes."

Half an hour later, Gan Ning came.

"The last general meets the major general!"

"General Gan, please get up."

Guan Ping was full of concern, personally helped Gan Ning, and said warmly: "Today, the Ming army bullied me and no one, so I led the army to drive straight into Fancheng." ”

"I was worried that there would be an accident in Fancheng, but I ......"

Gan Ning understood and said busily: "The last general is willing to go!" ”

Being interrupted, Guan Ping was quite unhappy, but at this time, no one was available, so he could only pretend not to know, but his face was happy, and he said: "It's really good that General Gan is willing to go there." ”

After a pause, he said, "I don't know how many men and horses General Gan needs?" ”

"I don't know how many people there are in the Ming army?" Gan Ning was not really reckless, but asked.

"According to the news, no less than 20,000 steps to ride." Guan Ping didn't mean to hide it.

"In this case, if the major general can fight with the last general 20,000 soldiers, the last general guarantees that even if he can't win, he will definitely not be defeated." Gan Ning said with an oath.

Guan Ping couldn't help but be surprised, he originally thought that Gan Ning would pat his head and say-

"Don't worry, general, if you don't win, please behead someone!"

Guan Ping saw that Jiang Wan kept glaring at him, and immediately understood that he was distracted, coughed lightly, and under the slightly surprised gaze of everyone, he responded: "Well, in this way, there is General Lao Gan." ”

"Yes, the last general commands."

Gan Ning led the troops away.

At this time, Gao Shun first took Chaoyang, then broke Huyang, and then deployed an army in Tongbai Mountain, east of Huyang, with about 10,000 men and horses, to intimidate Jiangxia in the east.

However, it was Gao Shun who did not take Jiangxia at the suggestion of Chen Deng, and took Xiangyang as the first.

The army turned around, and Gao Shun pounced on Cai Yang again.

Caiyang is located to the west of Dunse, although it is quite far away, but it also has the meaning of the barrier on the east side of Xiangyang, if it is broken, then Xiangyang will be cut off all the way to reinforcements.

Guan Ping received the news, and after consulting with Ma Liang, who had retreated to Dunse, he decided to stay put.
