In the Jiangling County Shoufu, the banquet was held until dusk, and Pan Jun was carried home by car.

He was genuinely happy and drank bitterly.

Mi Fangka's materials for Guan Yu are also for the materials of the army, and Pan Jun is responsible for the turnover of the materials for the army, and has reviewed the implementation of the materials.

Today, I spit out the truth after drinking with Mi Fang, and the wine is in place, so it will be convenient for my work in the future, and I no longer have to listen to Tian Xin's urging voice as if collecting debts.

Pan Jun was groggy and happy to board the car, waved goodbye to Mi Fang, who was also drunk and smiling, and did not forget to instruct: "The prince of the house stays, stays." ”

Mi Fang was also supported by two relatives, stood in the doorway to avoid the wind, and also told loudly: "Tomorrow, you must send the envoy of Wuhou to the west with the old man!" ”

At this moment, Tian Xin is hovering on the wall of the old city of Jiangling, which is the capital of Chu after more than 400 years of development, and has been an important town in Jingzhou since the Qin and Han dynasties.

Therefore, the old city of Gangneung is very large, and the circumference of the city wall alone is nearly 40 miles.

The new city built by Guan Yu now is actually inside the old city, and it is a city within a city built in the south of the old city relying on the original city wall.

Most of the houses in the old city have been demolished and used as building materials for Gangneung New Town, and the land has been restored.

The old city wall was also demolished and reused in Gangneung New Town.

Xiangyang is a strong city in Jingbei, and it is only a city developed in the hands of Liu Biao, and the city is far less solid than the old city of Jiangling.

The city wall of Jiangling New Town built by Guan Yu is nearly three zhang high and nearly two zhang thick, and there is the old city wall as a barrier, which is naturally impregnable.

With the Wu army's ability to attack fortifications, with the current strength, it is enough to hold Jiangling.

However, the Wu army could not defeat Jiangling, and was afraid that Guan Yu would come back to help, so it was very likely that they would divide their troops to plunder the population and destroy the military and civilian tuns outside the city.

The two cities of Jiangling and Gong'an are important, but the two strongholds of Jingcheng and Hanjin are also important, Jingcheng is a military base camp, and reserves armor and war equipment and some grain; Hanjin is where the naval army is located, and it is now hoarding hundreds of thousands of Shixiangjiang white rice that was transported from Lü Meng.

When the Wu army attacked, the Jingzhou Navy Division would be very embarrassed, whether to return to Jiangling to fight for the Yangtze River water conservancy, or blockade the Han River to defend Xiangyang.

If the Yangtze River water conservancy is not contested, then the Wu army will be able to gain the initiative on the battlefield, and it can march quickly to fragment Jingnan, and the Jingnan region will not be able to launch an effective counterattack.

If the Wu army is allowed to monopolize the water conservancy of the Yangtze River, then Ma Chao's 3,000 cavalry will be blocked in the White Emperor City, and it will not be possible to quickly reach Jingzhou to participate in the battle.

Thousands of miles of Jiangling returned in one day, and Ma Chao's department came to Jiangling by boat, and they could participate in the war at any time; If you abandon water conservancy and come to Jingzhou on foot, you will inevitably be sleepy and tired, and it will be difficult to fight again.

If it is fought, then the Cao army has the possibility of gathering the main force to retake Xiangyang.

The most important thing is that Jingbei Nanyang County and Nanxiang County will be controlled by the Cao army again, and the nearly 10,000 Jingbei troops absorbed by Guan Yu before and after will become a destabilizing factor.

Unless it is in time before the snowfall, the families of the Jingbei Army should be moved to Xiangyang as much as possible and placed on the south bank of the Han River to relieve the worries of the Jingbei Army.

With their families in hand, they can't help but fight to the death.

But now is there still time to move the families of the Jingbei Army? Even if he had time, would Guan Yu do such an unethical thing?

While thinking about it, he saw that Huang Quan came back from the south bank, and there were more than a dozen more families in the team, which should be the official blacksmith in the public security city.

He walked the wall under the enemy's tower and went out of the city to greet Huang Quan.

The two walked side by side of the team, and Huang Quan exhaled white gas: "General, this official thought about it again and again, but he didn't capture Fu Shiren." ”

Tian Xin listened quietly and did not ask, and Huang Quan saw that he could calm down, so he said: "For the great cause of the King of Han, for the people of the world, it is really trivial for a city of public security." Only when the Wu army attacked and seized the public security city could it block the mouth of the world and make it difficult for the Wu people to take advantage of their tongues. ”

"General, the Wu army is attacking against the alliance, and this battle is no longer in Jiangling, nor in Jingzhou, but in the world."

"If I were prepared, would I not be dishonest with my allies?"

"In order to prevent the Wu army from confusing black and white and fooling the world."

"Just a public security city, just give it to Sun Quan."

Huang Quan said and exhaled a breath of turbidity, his eyes were heavy: "Although the public security city is a Jiangling barrier, there are dead things. Guarding Gangneung, I thought the general was far better than ten public security cities. ”

Although it was a compliment, Tian Xin also understood: "The protector focuses on the overall situation of the world, and I might as well do it." The protector's calculations, I also understand, are the meaning of catching thieves and stolen goods. Please also ask the protectors to be relieved, Tian swore to live and die with Jiangling. ”

Huang Quan turned around and arched his hand: "Then the matter of Jiangling will be handed over to the general, and tomorrow Huang will escort the remaining troops to Micheng in batches." ”

Tian Xinzhong was moved, and returned the salute: "The guards did not get evidence of Fu Shiren's collaboration with the enemy, so they believed me, I ......"

Huang Quan laughed: "Not really, it's not a certain general, it's really the general's words like cold water, which makes a certain person vigilant." Now from the Han kings and princes to the ministers and generals, they are all proud. Even those who perceive that the situation is about to change, do not dare to speak out against it. ”

At this moment, the county guard is in the courtyard.

Yu Ban bathed again, changed into a new coat and sat near the candlestick, holding the white silk in both hands and studying it carefully, with Cao Cao's private seal and payment on it, which was definitely not a forgery.

He choked with tears and couldn't help himself: "At a certain time, greed for life and delay the country, and I am ashamed of the king's kindness!" ”

The deputy envoy Yu on one side flipped his breath and concentrated, and at this time, Sun Yi and Mi Fang came in with new clothes, and the wine on their faces was still dizzy.

Mi Fang took out a roll of fine white silk and handed it to Sun Yi, who spread it out and had a map of the surrounding areas of Jiangling.

Mi Fang pointed to the beacon tower set up along the lower reaches of Jiangling and said: "The beacon on the south bank is not under my control, and the north bank is under my control." However, Guan Yu's laws are strict, and when the sergeant sees the flag of the Wu army, he will light a beacon fire to warn, which is beyond my control. ”

Sun Yi was young and asked, "Then how to break the three-hundred-mile beacon fire?" ”

"The vanguard of the Wu army can pretend to be the flag of my Mi merchant ship, and the garrison of the beacon fire on the north shore does not doubt that he is captured, and it is easy to capture him."

Mi Fang was depressed, and only after a pause did he say: "The army suddenly arrived at the public security, and there were more than 1,000 defenders, Fu Shiren has a long history of resentment in his heart, how can he die for Liu Bei?" ”

Sun Yi glanced at Yu Flip, and saw that Yu Flip was speechless, so he pointed to the military camp marked on the defense map and asked: "I have heard for a long time that Tian Xiaoxian bravely crowned the three armies, and he was the favored general of Guan Yu and Liu Bei. This person is on the side, and I am afraid that things will be repeated. ”

Mi Fang replied: "The soldiers and horses under his command are either Jingnan Zhuyi or Guanlong's army. The soldiers were slack, and Guan Yu could not be used, so Tian Xindu led him to Jiangling to rest. Guan Long's army has not yet raised Yuen, how can he serve Tian Xin? ”

"Moreover, in the near future, the Yi soldiers of the Uchida Shinsho will return to Wuling, Yiling, and Lingling in turn."

"After Pan Jun has distributed the reward cloth required by the soldiers, the soldiers will return to their hearts like arrows, and Tian Xin can stop them. If you encounter a large army, the soldiers are lonely and widowed, and they have been rewarded, how can they fight to the death? At that time, they will disperse. ”

Yu Ban also spoke at this time: "Tian Xin is alert and alert, Wu Hou's army should move quickly, and it will change later." ”

After finishing speaking, Yu Ban saw Sun Yi with a sarcastic smile on his face, and Yu Ban couldn't help but blush, and his heart was indignant.

Yu Fu coughed lightly, pointed to the barracks in the city and asked Yu Ban: "Today, Tian Xin's generals have 500 soldiers stationed in the city?" ”

Yu Ban nodded: "Exactly, it is the sharp men under his command, with excellent armor and combat equipment." In my opinion, this department of sharp soldiers can attack the county government when they enter, and they can defend the mansion of the marquis of Guan. ”

Mi Fang grinned: "General Yu, this mansion was personally supervised by Guan Yu in the past, the walls are thick and the pavilions are strong, and it is a city within a city." ”

Yu Ban Yuguang glanced at Sun Yi who was observing the white silk map, and then looked at Mi Fang with his chin raised, then bowed his head lightly, and whispered lonely: "It's a certain time, Xiangfan's liver and gallbladder have been broken in the first battle, and he is afraid of the enemy like a tiger." I'm afraid that when I return to the king, it will be difficult to be called a general. ”
