In a word, it is over.

An old man who was nearly fifty years old stroked his beard and smiled, and said calmly: "The young general is too polite, the old man is just a way of thinking, and the specific details of the operation are not still from you." ”

This old man is Liu Feng, a patriarch of the Han family who talked about the past and the present with the scholars in Luershan three years ago, and talked about the current situation in the world.

After saying goodbye that day, he decided to go down the mountain the next day to join the Han army and realize his ambition to revive the Han dynasty.

After arriving in Chengdu to meet Liu Bei, who was still the king of Hanzhong, Liu Bei was also shocked by what he had learned, and he was ready to add him to the palace to serve as an official.

But Liu Feng still politely refused, telling him that he had already settled in Jingzhou for decades after going south to Jingxiang after discussing Dong, and was willing to return to Jingzhou to serve the prince and make suggestions.

After returning, Guan Yu felt that he already had Ma Liang, Wang Fu and others under his account to staff the military, so he asked him to assist the Guan Ping Department of Shangyong Zhudi in the Jingxi area.

After all, Shangyong is adjacent to Nanyang, facing the threat of Cao Wei, Guan Yu still thought deeply for Guan Ping and weighed the pros and cons.

Hearing this, Guan Ping smiled, and then said: "Mr. is modest, if it weren't for your suggestion, the general would not have thought of the direction of the eastward movement of the main attack, haha." ”

"Huh." For a moment, both of them were smiling.

……

After discussing for a long time, Guan Ping returned to the topic, and then said: "General Fu, then you will lead the people of the navy to build a water village based on the southern new city, patrol the boat at the intersection of the water and the Yangtze River every day, and escort and provide convenience for the grain road delivered by our army at any time, and after the Wu army is in place, you must cooperate with Sun Quan to completely complete the blockade of the river." ”

"This time, Cao Wei's reinforcements could not transport troops and grain from the major water systems of the Huai River, but could only pass by land, increasing their logistical pressure."

Speaking of this, Guan Ping's expression was serious, he slammed his fist on the screen, and said sharply: "I have a hunch that in this battle of Jiangxia, our army and Cao Wei will inevitably form a tug-of-war, and the competition in logistics will undoubtedly become the key." ”

After saying that, he immediately said: "General Fu, Mr. has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, and his art of war is no less than that of the prime minister and the law book, this time I will let Mr. assist you in commanding the navy." ”

"Moreover, General Zhou has followed his father for many years, and his water combat skills are also quite good, and his bravery is also extremely strong, and I will also let him obey your dispatch."

"But there is one thing that generals should remember, it is necessary to guard the river, and neither the Wu army nor the Wei army can easily hand over the control of the river."

For a while, Guan Pingyi said rhetorically.

"Then the young general has assigned a task to me and others, what are you doing with the infantry army?"

Hearing this, Guan Ping smiled straightly: "Of course, the general will lead all the soldiers to Changcheng and the city, and will meet the combat strength of the Jiangxia army that Wen Ping has personally trained in recent years." ”

"What?"

"It's too risky, no, no."

As soon as the words fell, Fu Wei was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly retorted: "I heard that Wu Jie is a capable general under his command, and this time I heard that Major General Nai led his troops to attack, and even allocated more than 3,000 people to be stationed in Shangchang. ”

"The young general only led 2,000 foot soldiers to go, even if Wu Jie didn't dare to open the city to meet the battle, but if the Jianghuai reinforcements arrived, how could he resist, wouldn't it be in danger?"

After that, Guan Suo, who was extremely smart on the side, was also full of worry, obviously seconding Fu Wei's opinion.

But who expected Guan Ping to have a calm face, not panicked at all, waved his hand and said lightly: "You don't have to be so nervous, since Ben Jiang dares to act like this, he is a little sure." ”

"When Cao Wei's reinforcements arrive, the fastest Huainan Manchu Pet Department will take at least ten days or so, but I will deal with a deputy general like Wu Jie in the first district, even if the enemy is outnumbered, I can also kill the enemy reinforcements before they arrive."

Seeing that he looked so confident, Fu Wei thought for a while and couldn't help asking: "Young General, that's three thousand elite Wei troops, can you really break the enemy with more than two thousand people?" ”

After all, Fu Wei actually didn't know the bottom in his heart, he knew what the hole cards Guan Ping relied on were.

On the way back, he also found a 2,000-foot soldier with a strong and sharp body, heavily armoured, and holding a long knife similar to a horse chopping knife, but it seemed that this long knife was sharper.

And because the sergeants are all heavily armoured, the defense is also extremely amazing.

Fu Wei didn't know what kind of soldier this was.

Because this is exactly what Guan Ping spent three years hiring the weapon master Pu Yuan to build one of the four knives that Datang is proud of, and the Mo knife that he used to fight in battle.

Not only that, in the past few years, Guan Ping has also spent a lot of money to build such a heavy armor and formed a Modao heavy infantry of more than 2,000 scales, named the Modao Battalion.

The Modao Battalion is not only amazing, but also extremely strong in defense, Guan Ping also deliberately did a drill, when the Modao Battalion met the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the wild, as long as they took timely measures to form a formation and attack, they did not panic to meet each other.

Even if the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is strong in combat and invincible in the world in terms of charging ability, it cannot break the defense.

After all, not only is the armor of the Modao Battalion made of heavy money, but every sergeant is a great warrior selected from the army, and almost all of them are tall and burly, with infinite strength.

With such a sergeant with heavy armor, the defense will not be strong, and the length of the Mo knife is also more than a zhang, and it can also cut off the legs of the war horse.

On the one hand, the knight could not break through the chaotic formation, and on the other hand, he was cut down, and for the Mo Dao Battalion, what remained was the opportunity to harvest the great head.

"Don't worry. The Modao Battalion will take three years to set up, and I will definitely let the Wei people know the danger of Modao, and they will definitely feel a strong sense of fear. ”

"That kind of strange knife, invincible endless style in the world."

For a while, Guan Ping shouted loudly with a fist in order to encourage his heart.

And at this moment, when he heard that Guan Ping was going to personally lead the infantry to meet the Wei army, Zhou Cang, a brave and strong man standing majestically on one side, looked anxious, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Major General, no, I will not stay here, I will follow you in the end and protect your integrity at all times." ”

"When you set out, the last general will be entrusted by the prince to be sure to protect your safety at all times."

When the words fell, Guan Ping thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "General Zhou, you don't have to worry so much. Ping does know that you are extremely loyal to your father, but Ping is not afraid of the Wei people at all when he attacks Shangchang this time, and with my martial arts and bravery, plus Liu Jia guarding from the side, who can hurt me? ”

"It is reported that since the death of Cao Thief, after Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and stabilized his power, suspicions have abounded, for fear that the brothers will take advantage of the situation to secretly seize his power, and his brothers Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and others have been suspicious."

"Now it's either solitary confinement or demotion and release."

Speaking of this, he seemed to be a little sad: "Alas. With my martial bravery, among the new generation of generals of Cao Wei, only Cao Zhang, who was called Huang Xu'er by Cao Thief, can fight, and now this person is imprisoned by Cao Pi, and I have no opponent since then! ”

After saying a lot, Guan Ping calmed down and said: "Uncle Zhou, compared with the land route, this battle is more critical to control the river surface, and when the main force of our army arrives, if there is no help from the naval army, it will be difficult to achieve too significant results with Cao Wei by land alone." ”

"And although General Fu is quite good at coordinating the naval army, he also needs a fierce general like you, uncle, who is familiar with water warfare and brave and strong."

"Therefore, my uncle's importance in water warfare this time is much higher than that on land, and there is no need to worry about peace!"

"When did my uncle see me fight an unprepared battle?"

With the persuasion of Guan Ping's soft grinding and hard bubbles, it took a long time for Zhou Cang to gradually accept it.

……

Two days later.

Guan Ping led the crowd to take off their heavy armor, and finally arrived at Shangchang City in a hurry.

Afar.

Looking at the mountains and rivers from afar, the city wall is about two feet long and the city defense is strong, all of which are built of mountain stones.

After seeing it for a while, Guan Ping couldn't help but turn his head to look at Guan Suo and Liu Jia and sighed: "This city is really strong, if we alone rely on more than 2,000 foot soldiers under our command to storm the city, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, pulling teeth out of the tiger's mouth." ”

"Fortunately, I have been prepared, maybe in a few days, Wu Jie will fall into a situation of running out of food."

With that, with a wave of his hand, he ordered the sergeant to find a dangerous place and set up camp.

Ignoring Shangchang City, which was close at hand, he just scouted all around, inquiring and passing on news at any time.

On the head of Changcheng.

At this time, Wu Jie, who was dressed in military uniform and hung a saber at his waist, couldn't help but look at the Jingzhou army in the distance along the head of the city, stared at it for a long time, and then couldn't help muttering: "What is the track of this Guan Ping?" ”

"Since you are coming with great momentum, why do you not attack the city at all but set up camp, what is the reason?"

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but guess: "Do you want to compete with our army for grain and grass, and want to wait for me to run out of food and take the city without blood?" ”

"But our army's reserve of military rations can last at least half a year, and by that time, Your Majesty will definitely not sit idly by, and has already sent reinforcements from all walks of life, right?"

"Then what is Guan Ping's idea to fight again?"

For a while, paying attention to Guan Ping's abnormal behavior, Wu Jie was also puzzled.

Of course, since he didn't understand the situation, Wu Jie would not rush out of the city, so as not to fall into his enemy's scheme.

After all, there is no vanity under the fame!

To say that a few years ago, there were people who underestimated Guan Ping, it was purely normal, but if you still underestimate it now, it is estimated that it is also a stupid character.

With being outnumbered, turning the tide and breaking Sun Quan, recovering several counties in Jingzhou to fully occupy Jingxiang and going north to Liang, the division was able to contend with Cao Wei in Liangzhou.

How can such a threat be taken lightly?

……

And just when the Han army's infantry soldiers were about to confront Shangchang.

At this time, the Wu army was also personally commanded by Sun Quan, with Zhu Ran, Han Dang and other wings, leading 30,000 soldiers from Qichun, Chaisang and other important military towns to send troops along Pengze Lake to Xiakou, and then from the Yangtze River north to Shiyang, an important eastern town located on the riverside.

After getting the news that the Wu army was attacking again, Wen Ping, the chief general who personally sat in charge of Anlu, had no choice but to rush to Shiyang with all his might.

Due to the particularity of Shiyang's topography, it is too close to the Yangtze River, and there are many tributaries around it, which is very suitable for the play of the navy.

From this point of view, the biggest threat to Jiangxia this time is the Wu army.

Moreover, Sun Quan personally commanded the troops again, which is enough to prove that the Wu army is bound to win Jiangxia.

In response to this, Wen Ping did not dare to be careless at all, so he wanted to personally sit in Shiyang to resist the large-scale attack of the Wu people with all his might.

He knew very well that once Shiyang broke through, then An Lu would be in danger!

Once the Wu army captures Jiangxia, it will be able to enter the tributaries of the Huai River from the flank, which will inevitably affect the situation on the Huainan side.
