At this time, Guan Ping did not bother and waited quietly.

After waiting for a while, Deng Ai arched his hand and said slowly: "Less...... General ......"

Seeing this, Guan Ping condensed, was silent for a second, and said: "Shizai, relax your mind and say, don't be so nervous, there are only you and me here." ”

"Relax and talk differently."

Then, under Guan Ping's signal, Deng Ai secretly made up his mind, sat upright, and said loudly: "Yi Ai... See..., to Xiangyang's... The terrain is very difficult to capture. ”

"At this time, Xiangyang City was guarded by more than 4,000 people led by Xiangyang Taishou Lu Chang, this strong city was once built by Liu Biao with most of his life's painstaking efforts, plus Xiangyang Lianhan Water, with a water gate."

"This undoubtedly adds difficulty to our army, even if our army goes all out to take Xiangyang, we need to continue to leave an army to besiege Fancheng, otherwise Cao Ren is not a fool, and he will cooperate with Xiangyang inside and outside.

"In this way, if you attack by force, the loss of troops will be too large!"

After a pause, seeing that Guan Ping was still listening, Deng Ai continued: "Therefore, Ai thinks that this time our army captured Xiangyang, we could use the prisoners of war of the Cao army. ”

"If we use it properly, our army will not lose a single soldier if we take Xiangyang... A pawn. ”

"Prisoners of war?" After pondering for a moment, Guan Ping's face was not flustered, and he said calmly: "Shizai, what you mean is to take the general ban as the leader and gather the Cao army prisoners of war to attack Xiangyang City. ”

"As long as the casualties on both sides are mutually reciprocated, it will be completely endless!"

"In this way, our army's capture of Xiangyang will not only greatly increase its strength, but after the war, this prisoner of war will inevitably not be able to continue to be loyal to Cao Cao, and can only be used by me, right?"

Hearing this, Deng Ai was immediately overjoyed, and arched his hand: "Less... General, Gao Jian, Ai is exactly what he meant! ”

As soon as the words fell, Guan Ping suddenly realized something, first stared at Deng Ai with strange eyes, and then was overjoyed.

Because, Deng Ai didn't stammering when he spoke just now.

Seeing that the young general was staring at him, his expression changed, Deng Ai couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and said, "Less... General, you... This... Be? ”

"Haha!" Hearing this, Guan Ping chuckled, and then said, "Shizai, did you find that you were different just now?" ”

"Huh?"

"When you just analyzed the battle situation, you didn't have any stuttering symptoms."

Guan Ping reminded that Deng Ai was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic, he didn't seem to be stuttering just now.

Immediately, Guan Ping thought about it, and said: "Shizai, I have always emphasized that there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of unintentional people, as long as you have maintained today's self-confidence." ”

"It's no problem to get rid of your mouth disease!"

"Less... General, Ai... I will definitely change it as soon as possible and live up to it...... Your expectations. ”

Immediately after, Guan Ping stood up straight, led Deng Ai to the main account line, and explained to his father the advantages of capturing Xiangyang and his own plan.

In fact, using Cao Jun's prisoners of war to capture Xiangyang, Guan Ping had already thought of this strategy, and let Deng Ai come to analyze, just to give him a chance to experience and cultivate as soon as possible.

After all, Guan Yu is nearly sixty years old at the moment, and with the lack of generals and talents in Shu Han in the future, Guan Ping has been guarding Jingzhou with his father for many years, and he will inevitably take over in the future.

…………

The big camp, the main tent

"Taking Xiangyang with Cao Jun's prisoners of war, aren't you worried about mutiny?"

Hearing this, Guan Yu didn't think about this strategy, but this plan was too risky, and if he was a little careless, he couldn't suppress it in time with his own strength, and the Cao army in the city quickly dispatched, I am afraid that the good battle situation would be destroyed.

Then, Guan Yu stroked the long beard under his forehead and said, "Secondly, although you can use the ban on bombs to suppress the hearts of prisoners of war, don't forget, there is still a hard bone." ”

"With him, if you want to use prisoners of war to attack the city, it is simply not feasible!"

At this point, Guan Ping had already heard that Guan Yu was already tempted, but there was still a trace of hesitation, thought about it, and immediately gave him a reassurance.

"Father, what you are worried about is that Pound will disrupt our army's plan in front of the battle, Ke'er assures you that this time in my plan, Pound has no chance to speak."

"Moreover, isn't Pang De willing to die rather than surrender and swear allegiance to Cao Cao, this time will definitely make Cao Ying firmly believe that Pang De has surrendered to our army."

For a while, seeing that Guan Ping was swearing and what he said was true, Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes condensed slightly, and he said softly: "Ji Chang, Ping'er's strategy, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, a middle-aged scribe from the side replied: "Junhou, Liang seconded the plan of the young general to take Xiangyang first, and then stabilize the overall situation and confront Cao Jun across the river. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Ma Liang continued: "Junhou, now that the king of Hanzhong has just won a great victory in Hanzhong, and there is no spare strength to continue to advance north for the time being, it is difficult to engage in a tug-of-war of attrition with Cao Cao with the strength of our army alone. ”

"For the time being, take Xiangyang first, and wait for a few years of cultivation, when the king of Hanzhong led the main force of Shuzhong out of the Qinling Mountains and the northern expedition to Guanzhong, our army crossed the river to besiege Fancheng and take Xudu."

"With such a two-sided army, why worry that the Cao clan will not be destroyed and the Han will not prosper?"

In a speech, Ma Liang firmly stood on Guan Ping's side, and also agreed with the strategy of taking Xiangyang.

Hearing this, Guan Yu's face turned pale, and then he hesitated: "But General Ben has already stated in the previous military discussion that he will take Fancheng first, and such a change of order is not good for the army!" ”

"And in order to quickly seize Fancheng, I also urgently dispatched the rear and sent troops north."

When the words fell, Guan Ping further persuaded: "Father, in fact, it doesn't matter, whether it is Fancheng or Xiangyang, they are both famous for their strong cities, and if our army wants to take the city quickly, it must have sufficient military strength." ”

"As for the military heart, I hope that my father will continue to lead the generals to besiege Fancheng, and guard against Cao Ren's department on the north bank, as well as Xu Huang's department in Wancheng."

"Then transfer 5,000 elite soldiers and General Zhou Cang and Cao Jun prisoners of war, and make a military order here, within a month, Xiangyang will be taken!"

At this moment, Guan Ping also directly made a military order, without any drag.

After a while, he agreed to Guan Ping's request, and led the generals to the north bank of Tun to guard against Cao's army, and then transferred 5,000 elites to Guan Ping, and handed over the Xiangyang war to Guan Ping's command.

"My son will definitely live up to his father's expectations!"

Seeing that Guan Yu agreed, Guan Ping couldn't help but take a deep breath and replied.

Since the plan was agreed, Guan Ping did not continue to stay, so he led Deng Ai to retire and withdraw from the camp.

…………

Exiting the tent, Guan Ping's tense expression was released, and then he said happily: "Hahaha, after three years of silence, it's time for me to make a name for myself." ”

"This battle is also the time when I am famous, and it will also make the generals of the Cao army frightened!"

After a moment of release, Guan Ping's tone changed and he said, "Shizai, follow me to the prisoner of war camp." ”

Immediately, the two of them changed direction and headed for the prisoner of war camp.
