Jingzhou Thorn Shi Hu Xiu rebelled, Nanyang Taishou Fu Fang followed closely behind, and the offensive and defensive situation of the enemy and us was greatly changed.

Man Zhong and Niu Jin retreated to Fancheng to hold on, Pang De led the Liyi army that lost Yang Ang's first section of the Western Front to withdraw from the battlefield, and the defenders of Pinglu City also surrendered.

The smooth situation of the battle made Tian confident and heavy.

He carried Yang Ang's head to report the merits, and Liao Huazheng told the latest military situation: "Junhou, Pang De has retreated to Fanbei Yuncheng. ”

It may be that Tian Xin's status has been significantly improved, and Liao Hua is not shy about it, and picks up another military letter: "Xu Du came to report, Cao Cao sent his son Cao Zhi as the general of Nanzhong Lang, and he wanted to lead the troops stationed in Luoyang and Xu Du to help fight Xiangfan." ”

In the curtain, Guan Yu sat on the Hu bed and played with the broken arrow, and the color of regret overflowed: "It's a pity, such a brave and resolute person can't contribute to the country, but the pearl is secretly cast." ”

Seeing Tian Xin, Guan Yu was relieved: "Can filial piety know who Yang Ang is?" ”

"Back to the monarch, the last general heard the names of Yang Ang and Yang Ren when he was in Hanzhong, and he is a general in Hanzhong."

Guan Yu glanced at Yang Ang, who had a blood-stained white beard on the plate, and then looked at his long and blue and black hair, which was no longer thick: "The merit of filial piety is not something I can reward." However, General Zuo showed filial piety as the captain of Fengyi, why not go to Hu Xiu and Fu Fang's two armies to recruit 700 battalions each? Before merging, the troops were lowered, and the army was formed first so that it could be used? ”

"Yes, the last general commands."

Tian Xin gave a salute, but stood still, Guan Yu asked: "But there is something to say?" ”

"Prince, the end will be fine."

Tian Xin took a few steps back, and Liao Hua had already handed him the two bamboo slips that had been written, which was a certificate for Tian Xin to go to Fu Fang and Hu Xiu to transfer troops, and the symbolic meaning was greater than the reality.

Fu Fang and Hu Xiu were so hasty that there were no proper resettlement measures, so they had to appoint military officials from Nanyang to assist in the management of the Second Army, and sent people to Nanxiang County to take over the government affairs of Nanxiang County.

The armies of these two people belong to the local county soldiers, which are different from the Chinese army and foreign armies, the military officials are derived from the county officials and county officials, and the sergeants are from the people of Nanxiang County.

Tian Xin and Yi Bing also have this simple command relationship, and there is no other relationship such as a ministry, a township party, or a mercenary.

Therefore, Guan Yu can dismantle the Southern Army at will, and he can also give priority to supplementing the vacancies of Xiahou Lan's department; And Lei Xu's department is his own private army, and if he has the battle damage, he will find a way to replenish it, Guan Yu will not take care of it, and he will not dismantle, transfer, and separate the army under Lei Xu's command at will.

When Tian Xin arrived in Pinglu City, Guan Ping was leading his own soldiers to collect soldiers and military officials.

Guan Ping's previous post was a cavalry lieutenant, and after the victory in Xiangyang, Guan Yu gave Guan Ping an official 'Xingping Thief Zhonglang General', and Guan Ping's department was called the Ping Thief Army; Tian Xin got Liu Bei's position as Fengyi Lieutenant, and the department number was Fengyi Army.

The last Fengyi lieutenant was specially set up by Sun Ce for Sun Quan, and Liu Bei is now throwing out this position that overlaps with Sun Wu to Tian Xin, I'm afraid it's not just Tian Xin's 'Respect for the Great Righteousness and Offering the Four Dragons True Traces'.

Tian Xin would not go to grab high-quality soldiers from Guan Ping, and there was no point in grabbing them, after leaving Luo Qiong in charge, he and Guan Ping dined on the side.

He persuaded: "Today, Pound is brave, and the army is known as the White Horse General. If General Pingxi is invited to come to Xiangfan's aid, Pang De will see the old master, even if he can't be used by our army, he can also separate Pang De and Cao Ren. ”

Guan Ping shook his head slightly, and looked at the wall-like battleship hovering on the bank of the Hanshui River with a bright gaze: "Filial piety is the first to discuss, I have talked to my father, and my father thinks it is impossible." General Pingxi was also a prince in the past, but now he is under the command of General Zuo, which has made many old people uneasy. If you get Pound's army again and make new meritorious deeds, it may be difficult to control it. ”

"Since General Pingxi is not suitable, then please transfer General Pingxi's generals? It doesn't take many people, but more than 1,000 people are enough. ”

Seeing Tian Xin's insistence, Guan Ping bowed: "I will mention this matter to my father." ”

Seeing Guan Ping's embarrassed appearance, Tian Xin just sighed slightly: "On this once-in-a-lifetime occasion, wouldn't it be a pity if you cheat yourself because of the view of the portal?" ”

Guan Ping was silent, and lowered his head to flip through the fish soup in the iron pot.

Meng Da, the Taishou of Fangling County, who was close at hand, continuously refused Guan Yu's arrival at the recruitment, and was always unwilling to send troops to Xiangfan to help in the war, and even the order to borrow materials was negative.

Seeing that Meng Da refused twice in a row, Guan Yu had refused to issue a secondment document for the third time.

Meng Da's attitude was so decisive, Liu Feng, who was united with Meng Da, didn't have to think about it, and he knew that he was unwilling to send troops to help the war.

repeatedly sent official documents asking for reinforcements, supplies and other things, Guan Yu disdained to do it, and it is estimated that Meng Da and Liu Feng have been on Guan Yu's blacklist.

To be bad with Meng Da is to have a bad relationship with Fa Zheng and Li Yan; To have a bad relationship with Liu Feng is to have a bad relationship with the people of Jingzhou.

Ma Chao's remnants are only three or five thousand, and now they are also repeatedly vigilant, unwilling to have a cooperative relationship with Ma Chao, afraid of being implicated by Ma Chao, or afraid of being suspected by Liu Bei?

The successive military victories seem to have made Guan Yu's position more and more isolated.

It seems that the more isolated and the worse the relationship with the colleagues around him, the more satisfied Guan Yu is.

Could it be that such a lonely minister can get Liu Bei's full trust?

The battle has been fought so far, and with the improvement of his status, Tian Xin feels more and more that Guan Yu's Jingzhou Legion is a rootless tree.

The worst thing is that the continuous victories have fueled Guan Yu's temper, and he will not do things like asking for help.

This matter was entangled in his heart, and Tian Xin couldn't let go.

In particular, the rebellion of Hu Xiu and Fu Fang made Guan Yu's goal in this battle not only to pull out Xiangyang, but also seemed to want to surround Fancheng and take off Cao Ren's head.

Cao Ren is the first general of Cao Cao's clan, and he is a general who can take responsibility.

At the beginning of the year, Xiahou Yuan was beheaded, and Cao Ren was killed at the end of the year, and Cao Cao's strongest pro-vassal battle sword and battle shield were gone.

It may be that after flooding the Seventh Army, Guan Yu will give birth to the ambition of recovering the Central Plains with the help of God.

Who can persuade Guan Yu?

After the first battle of Pinglu City, Guan Yu tentatively attacked Fancheng again, but Cao Ren and Pang De could not hold out, so they could only give up.

Not long after, it was rainy around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and because Cao Zhi was drunk and mishap, Cao Cao sent General Zuo to unify more than 30,000 people from the Forbidden Central and Foreign Seventh Army to arrive around Fancheng one after another.

The rainy weather continued, and Guan Yu and Yu Ban could not wait for the sunny weather for a suitable decisive battle.

After the rain became more and more intensive, the Jingzhou army withdrew from the low-lying north shore to the south shore and Shazhou Island; Yu Ban and Pang De also led the army to evacuate the low-lying area on the north bank of the Hanshui River, retreat to the embankment of the Hanshui Ancient Road and re-encamp, and prepare more small boats to deal with the transportation problems after the flood.

Since the beginning of late autumn, the Hanshui basin has experienced abundant rain, or abundant precipitation in the upper reaches.

On 16 August, Tian Xin inspected the increasingly turbulent Han River, which seemed to be able to cross the embankment on the north bank at any time and pour into the ancient channel of the Han River.

It was already mid-August, and there was still no news of Liu Bei claiming to be the king of Hanzhong.

Could it be the butterfly effect brought about by yourself?

Now the Jingzhou army has strong morale after successive victories, and their mental state is good, and the physical energy that can be consumed can be seen.

The logistical supply prepared was based on 30,000 people, and now after the second army of Fu Fang and Hu Xiu rebelled, plus more than 7,000 prisoners, the logistical pressure has doubled.

The battle of the flooded Seventh Army may break out at any time, after this epic victory, who can still persuade Guan Yu?
