In the drizzling early morning rain, Tian Xin rarely slept lazily.

Some were listless, lazily lying on their sides on the bed, looking at the raindrop curtain under the canopy outside the window.

Yu Zhong stepped on a pair of wooden shoes from the muddy ground to the door, washed his feet and wooden shoes with the rainwater falling from the eaves, and then entered barefoot: "Junhou, the rain is getting smaller, and the Marquis of Shunde has led his troops to Ye County." ”

He saw that the food on Tian Xin's plate was still on the table: "Junhou, go down to the official to heat the meal." ”

"No need, I don't have an appetite today."

Tian Xin said and waved his hand, Yu Zhong wanted to persuade but felt that he couldn't speak, even he was angry, couldn't figure it out, and persuaded others?

Yu Zhong left depressed, Tian Xin looked at the drops of rain dripping from the bamboo shed, the silence all around, the sound of ticking in his ears, and his mind was still calm.

There is nothing to be angry about, from the time he refused Ma Liang's recruitment of filial piety, this embarrassment was already doomed.

To embarrass themselves and let the various armies stationed in Nanyang be unlucky together, it can only show that this group of people is very determined.

That's right, among the armies stationed in Nanyang, Ma Chao himself is a dwarf, and he is more restrained than anyone else when he is angry; Guan Ping is also easy to do here, Guan Yu focuses on the overall situation, so Guan Ping has to hold back no matter how much anger he has.

The other Shen Tan, Lei Xu, and Sun Lang are even peripheral generals, and they don't have the right to speak.

There were 100,000 Han troops assembled in Nanjun and Changsha, and seventy percent of the generals and colonels commanding the troops were from Jingzhou, two percent were from the north, and less than one percent were from Yizhou.

Just like the Jingzhou generals discussed, it was they who laid down the precipitous Yizhou, the country of abundance, and it was they who fought in Hanzhong for several years to defeat the main force of the Wei army.

And the Jingzhou battlefield was just a big victory in Hanzhong, and the Wei army, which had lost consecutive battles and low morale, took advantage.

There is nothing to say about the flooding of the Seventh Army, and it is not Guan Yu's embankment, but the will of heaven.

Not to mention Guan Yu's command of the army, even if he lets one person go, he can also win the record of the flooded Seventh Army.

Then when attacking Fancheng, Guan Yu made another mistake, which caused the Jingzhou generals to be slandered.

That is, when Tian Xin's first attack on Fancheng failed, Guan Yu actually put the ready-made earth mountain and used the method of siege to consume Cao Ren.

In their eyes, this was simply incomprehensible, and they doubted Guan Yu's intentions.

There is nothing incomprehensible, after Guan Yu killed Cao Ren's main army and Yu Forbidden Army's legion, he even wanted to surround and send reinforcements to kill Xu Huang's recruit corps.

Cao Cao was afraid that Xu Huang would issue military orders one after another, so that Xu Huang would be cautious and not fight when the soldiers were few.

If there is no attack from Sun Quan's back alliance, as Fancheng runs out of food, the decisive battle brewing between Guan Yu and Xu Huang is destined to lie down.

Now there are many people in Jingzhou, and when there are more people, they will speak loudly.

The Eastern Crusade fought against the world's famous Jiangdong weak soldiers, and when they were captured, their morale was naturally high, and their posture was arrogant and they spoke louder.

Seeing that the rain stopped, Tian Xin walked out of the bamboo shed, looked up and squinted at the sun, his face was warm.

In another two and a half months, after harvesting the rice, the army withdrew back to Maicheng.

Two and a half months, Sun Quan should be able to hold on until two and a half months later, and even until September and October.

are all dragged into tired soldiers, and if they participate in the war as a new force, will they be a little invincible?

Moreover, the Wei army will not easily let their people retreat, and someone must stay behind to block the yang, strengthen the city defense here, and operate the north gate of Jingzhou as a fortress.

Thinking about the future, time is spent in peace.

Shangyong, Deng Xian, who hurried back, was stunned and surprised, he was holding a troop transfer document in his hand, a troop transfer document handed to him by Meng Da.

Meng Da's expression was gloomy, looking at the dense clouds outside the hall, and his tone was gentle: "Tian Xiaoxian is good at regular script, and his military book is straightforward and concise. This is different from the armies, but it is also very easy to imitate. Fortunately, I have studied regular script and can have its nine-fractal meaning. This document can deceive many people. ”

The troop transfer document was stamped with an imitation of General Huya's seal, Deng Xian held it with both hands, and his hands trembled slightly: "Uncle, if Guo Mu and Deng Fu are detected, Tian Xiao will send troops to intercept him first." ”

This was an order ordering Meng Daqi to attack Wuguan Road, ordering officials from counties, townships, and settlements along the way to assist in concealment and provide grain and straw.

The whole march was as long as a thousand miles, from Fangling to the north along the Han River for 200 miles, and then along the Han River to the east to Zhuyang and Yin counties in the upper reaches of Xiangfan to cross the Han River, and then to the north of the champion, Lixian and then turn to the northwest of the Xixian rapid march, continue to take the mountain road, around to Wuguan and then block the reinforcements of Wuguan Road.

Now the Guancheng of Wuguandao is in the territory of Nanyang County, and the supplies of the defenders come from Guanzhong, which is difficult to transport, and there are few soldiers themselves, and they dare not go out to plunder.

It is not difficult to break through the Wuguan Pass, but the difficult thing is the long Wuguan Road, and the Wei army can also set up a camp in the Wuguan Road at any time to block it.

It is meaningless to lay down Wuguan alone, which has only more than 1,000 defenders, and this Wuguan Guancheng is a bit like an enclave for the defense system of Guanzhong, and there is no need to defend it.

After all, this gate is too close to Nanyang, and the cost of defending this pass is too high.

More than 1,000 people are stationed at Wuguan, and the significance of the police signal is even more important.

The Chi Road south of Wuguan Road is almost horizontal with Dan, on the north side of Danshui; There are also a few mountain roads of considerable scale that can bypass Wuguan Road, so Wuguan does not have the reputation of being a man and a man, and a few small roads that can bypass the city are the fatal flaws of Wuguan.

The real battlefield of Wuguan Province is not in Wuguan, but in Lantian at the northern exit.

Meng Da's expression was resolute: "You have just returned from Duyang, and it is common sense to carry a military order." The county officials don't suspect it, and I don't fight for nothing. Even if the matter leaks, it will be fine. Because of my uncle, he really wants to lay down the martial arts. ”

"Before capturing Wuguan, our army's intention was to be detected by Tian Xiaoxian and King Han, and at most he reprimanded and ordered me to retreat. To capture Wuguan, the king of Han can know that I am good at fighting, and in the future, our army can be the vanguard in the northern expedition. ”

Meng Da said and took out an official letter to Deng Xian, which was inseparable from Deng Xian's cooperation.

Deng Xian bit to death and brought Tian Xin's troop transfer documents, Shangyong, Nanyang, and Xiangyang counties need to be verified, and after verification, he may have laid a military pass, proving his ability to march in the mountains and cross-country in the mountains, and also proving his combat effectiveness.

The army has combat effectiveness, and it is the foundation of its existence.

Deng Xian felt uneasy in his heart, and took the official document handed by Meng Da, which was the list of summer clothes for the various armies in Nanyang.

Deng Xian was stunned and couldn't understand: "Uncle, with the merits of the Huya Army, how can you halve the summer clothes?" ”

Feeling ridiculous, he smiled absurdly: "Is the King of Han still short of tens of thousands of cloths?" ”

"There is no shortage of Han kings, but some people hope that the Huya army will lack food and clothing, so all the troops stationed in Nanyang will be implicated."

Meng Da looked at the list in his nephew's hand: "Pang Shiheng specially asked me to lend 5,000 pieces of cloth to Tian Xiaoxian...... Presumably, Tian Xiaoxian was already indignant at this time. He has made outstanding achievements and looks down on the 4,000 soldiers under my command, so he naturally does not recognize me as a township party. If I go down to Wuguan in a battle, he will look at me squarely, and the king of Han will also rely on me and regard me as a pillar. ”

The cloth is a tax levied from the Ban Yu tribe, one horse per year for the adult and half a horse per year for the young man.

It is said to be a cloth, but in terms of textile skills and materials, it is ordinary fine linen.

Deng Xian's heart became steady, but he was still puzzled, and his tone was calm: "Jing people bullied Tian Xiaoxian, aren't you afraid of Guan Hou's countermeasures?" ”

"Hehe, this is embarrassing Guan Hou. If it weren't for Guan Hou, it wouldn't be so difficult for Tian Xiaoxian. ”

Meng Da clenched his fist lightly in his sleeve, and a sneer appeared on his face: "Mi Zifang is dead, some people want to expose it, and some people want to seek justice for Mi Zifang." Now embarrassing Tian Xiaoxian and Guan Dingguo is a demonstration. I don't know how King Han will choose, if he asks for an explanation for Mi Zifang, then King Han is still a hero. ”

Deng Xian probably understood, and frowned: "This has nothing to do with my uncle, why did Pang Shiheng come forward to offend the township party?" ”

Meng Da laughed: "Huang Gongheng and Pang Shiheng belong to the Left Army, if you sit back and watch Ma Mengqi and Tian Xiaoxian be humiliated, the Left Army will naturally collapse." Guan Hou is still a step ahead, the cavalry is in Nanyang at the moment, and when Tian Xiaoxian, Guan Dingguo, and Zhang Mengxing are full-fledged, they will repay this humiliation. ”

The cavalry tactics were almost monopolized by the northerners, and if they continued to develop, the Jingzhou people might not be able to master a cavalry battalion, let alone a larger cavalry army.

Without the help of cavalry, how can you go on a northern expedition?

The people of Jingzhou are so strong and so protective, who will dare to get close to the people of Jingzhou who will surrender in the future?

Look at the soldiers under Ma Chao, Tian Xin, and Guan Ping, they are generally the surrendered troops collected by Xiangfan in the First World War.

Counting the surrendered troops captured by Duyang, there are nearly 30,000 northern surrendered troops as reserve soldiers, which are all eye-catching young and strong, or the elite of the north.

Nominally, the former army from Guan Yu was transferred to the left army, but was it not arranged by Tian Xin and Ma Chao to be in the military cantonment around Linfu and Maicheng?

As long as the restrictions are lifted and there is enough supply of military food, Ma Chao and Tian Xin can launch the Northern Expedition by virtue of the surrender of the army.

Of these 30,000 surrendered troops, everyone wants to take a bite.

Jingzhou people want to bite, but Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, and Tian Xin will let Jingzhou people interfere?

The surrender army also has the right to speak, you ask the surrendering army, do you want to follow the northern generals, or do you want to follow the Jingzhou generals with differences in language and customs?
