Chapter 303: Guan Yu sent troops
Although the fishing town is a comprehensive township, the materials of forging weapons and refining cement are not produced in themselves, and the external demand is also very large, and if you only rely on the surrounding mountains and rivers to eat, there will always be a day when you run out.
It is also because of this, after the raw materials of the fishing village are on the right track, almost all of them are obtained from outside, and the fishing village itself attaches great importance to the surrounding environment, and the forests cut down in the past have been planted with new saplings, or directly reclaimed into fields for cultivation or grazing, which causes the fishing village to sell a variety of exquisite finished products at the same time, the purchase of raw materials is almost the most in Jingzhou.
The bamboo garden has changed its appearance, in the high wall, two bucket arches have also been built, and the original bamboo and wood courtyard gate has also been torn down and replaced with cement construction, a little less quiet and elegant in the past, a little more strict, for Liu Yi, he actually prefers the quiet style of the past, but now, Liu Yi is not worried about his wife and children, so he is made like this.
Lu Lingqi was a little sleepy during this time, and she had already fallen asleep early, and the lights in most of the rooms in the courtyard had been extinguished.
The study was brightly lit.
Deng Ai was in Jiangling during this time, and through Chen Ergou, he had collected and sorted out all the information about Fu Shiren since he came out, and this time he came back to report to Liu Yi what he had gained.
From the point of view of intelligence, there are not many things that can be seen, Fu Shiren has been conscientious and conscientious since he came out, he is honest and honest, and he is also quite friendly to his subordinates, and he does not strive for fame and fortune, and it is precisely because of this that people feel that his conduct is noble.
After reading the information, Liu Yi was silent for a long time, then looked at Ai Ai and smiled: "Ai'er, what do you think?" ”
"There's something wrong with this person." Deng Ai said directly.
"Oh?" Liu Yi smiled when he heard this: "Let's talk about it." ”
"In life, there is always something to seek, or for fame, or for profit, or for love, or for family." Deng Ai analyzed: "This is human nature, there is no rebellion, but Fu Shiren is from the emperor's uncle, although he is conscientious, but he has nothing to ask for, like a hermit in the mountains, but he has made more friends with the magnates of Jingzhou, in terms of intelligence, Lingling is too shou Hao Pu, Jingzhou Zhizhong Pan Rui, and Yueyang is too shou Zhao Xu, all of whom are very close to this person, and now they are also befriended with Nanjun Taishou Mi Fang, looking at his means, it is not Gao Shi's doing. ”
Look at a person, not just look at what he does, but to see whether what he does is consistent with his nature, if the two clash with each other, there must be a problem, this is what Liu Yi taught back then, Deng Ai has also seen all kinds of people around Zhuge Liang over the years, and he has something in his heart, and now Fu Shiren is obviously a diligent, hard-working, and non-fighting person from the point of view of intelligence, but from the perspective of his behavior, there is a conflict, which is also the key reason why Deng Ai judged that Fu Shiren must have a problem.
Liu Yi nodded with satisfaction, looked at Deng Ai and said with a smile: "In this way, Fu Shiren's affairs will be delayed for Ai'er to do, remember, keep Mi Fang." ”
"Sir, rest assured!" Deng Ai got up, bowed to Liu Yi and said, "Ai knows what to do, it's not too early, Ai will go back to Jiangling first." ”
"Don't be in such a hurry, your mother is looking forward to reuniting with you, you come back this time, it's not enough to stay in the fishing village for two days, I still have time, you go to accompany your mother, it's not too late to leave tomorrow." Liu Yi frowned and said, Deng Ai has a lot of common problems among young people, acting impatiently and in a hurry, this is a good thing, if you don't have momentum when you are young, after thirty, you have a wife and children, and you want to rush again, whether it is worldly fetters or emotional concerns, it will make people unable to rush, but Liu Yi looks at Deng's strong appearance these days, and his heart is also a little uncomfortable.
Deng Ai hesitated, shook his head and said in a low voice: "No, after the child is successful, I will come to serve my mother again, and I will go to see my mother at this time, Ai is afraid that he will not be willing to leave tomorrow." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Liu Yi to say more, he got up and said goodbye and left.
Alas~
Two sighs, one from Liu Yi and one from the back hall.
"Sister-in-law, it's okay, this battle won't be too long, and it won't be long before the mother and son can be reunited." Liu Yi got up, looked at Deng who walked out from behind the screen, and persuaded with a smile.
"Elle is right, if you want to achieve great things, how can you think of your family?" Deng shook his head, bowed to Liu Yi silently, turned around and left directly.
This mother and son duo......
Liu Yi shook his head, got up and returned to his house, his wife had already slept, Liu Yi pulled the thin quilt up to prevent his wife from catching a cold, and took out the straw mat from the cabinet and spread it on the ground, took the futon and lay down, there are a lot of things experienced over the years, and it also made Liu Yi hone a mentality that the sky is not shocked, his head touched the pillow, and it didn't take long to fall asleep, no matter what happens tomorrow, what should be done has been done, nothing is more important than rest.
……
Guan Yu sent 50,000 troops, known as 100,000 troops to the outside world, set off from Danyang in mid-May, advanced by land and water, all the way to the second city of Xiangfan, as soon as the news came out, many Cao troops were frightened.
Liu Bei commanded a lot of fierce generals, but for Cao Jun, the most impressive is Guan Yu, the battle of Guandu, beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and then passed five passes and killed six generals, Cao Jun's account, no one has the confidence to fight against Guan Yu.
In Xiangyang City, although Yu Ban and Li Dian, who succeeded Cao Ren to guard the second city of Xiangfan, had already prepared, they were still a little frightened when Guan Yu really sent troops.
However, both of them are generals under Cao Cao, experienced in a hundred battles, but they are not afraid, but the morale of the Cao army under his command is not high, not only because of the name of Guan Yu, but more importantly, when Cao Ren sent troops, he took away a lot of Xiangyang troops, and now the defenders of the two cities of Xiangfan are not more than 10,000.
In the government office, Yu Ban and Li Dian sat opposite each other, Li Dian looked at Yu Ban and said: "If Guan Yu comes, he must first cut off the contact between the two cities of Xiangfan with a naval army, you and I will each lead an army, guard Xiangfan, and wait for the prime minister's reinforcements?" ”
The navy has always been a sore foot of the Cao army, although there is a place of Jianghuai, but Sun Quan has been paying attention to the movements of the Cao army, and refuses to let the Cao army have the opportunity to train the navy, and among the Cao army, there are no generals of the navy.
If the Cao army has a naval army, it is completely possible to connect the two cities through the naval army, Guan Yu attacks Xiangyang, then the soldiers of Fancheng will help him, if Guan Yu attacks Fancheng, then Xiangyang soldiers and horses will help, no matter which side Guan Yu attacks, it is equivalent to facing the soldiers and horses of the two cities at the same time.
But now that the Cao army has no naval army, Guan Yu can easily cut off the contact between the two cities, and use the naval army to assist the attack, Liu Beijun's siege ship, Cao Ren has personally learned it back then, how dare he slack off.
"Just what I want!" Yu Ban nodded, no matter which city of Xiangfan is lost, the other side is alone, so it must be defended, and at the same time ask for help in the direction of Nanyang and Xuchang, it is best that Cao Ren's soldiers and horses can be withdrawn, when the time comes, why be afraid of Guan Yu?
But for now, it is still mainly to defend Guan Yu's attack.
Time is pressing, Guan Yu's army will arrive soon, after the two discussed how to assist in defense, they immediately began to rectify, Yu Ban led 4,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Fancheng, and Li Dian brought 8,000 soldiers and horses to defend Xiangyang.
After being banned from entering Fancheng, he immediately mobilized the people of Fancheng to carry rolling wood and stones, recruited militia to help defend the city, and recruited craftsmen to strengthen the city defense.
The population of Fancheng was taken away by Liu Bei that year, and then Cao Cao pursued, Liu Bei could not stop it, and was robbed back a lot, over the years, Cao Ren guarded Xiangfan, and squeezed a lot of the people of Xiangfan, and the enthusiasm of the people was not too high, but Cao Jun coerced with knives and guns, and even killed people, and the people of Fancheng were helpless, and they could only help carry and strengthen the city.
Yu Ban and the policy of clearing the wilderness with a strong wall, the people around Fancheng moved into Fancheng, this looks like the autumn harvest will be in two months, at this moment Cao Jun is strong and clear, the loss caused to the people of Xiangfan texture is undoubtedly great, for a while, Guan Yu's army has not yet arrived, but the land of Xiangfan is already full of sighs.
Wen Ping led the water army to Xiangfan first, he was stationed in Xiangyang when he was under Liu Biao, seeing that the Cao army treated the people so harshly, he was dissatisfied, and led the water army to fight with the Cao army a few battles, Li Dian and Yu Ban had insufficient troops, and did not dare to touch Wen Ping, but Wen Ping robbed a lot of people.
It's just that although people grabbed it, most of the crops on the ground have been left uncooked, so they can only wait for them to be wasted, and many people are still crying, and Wen Ping is also quite helpless when he sees this, so he has to report the matter to Guan Yu and ask Guan Yu to decide.
"Cao Jun does not care for the people, this is a self-defeating road." When Ma Liang heard this, he sighed, but there was not much he could do, after all, it was the people who hurt the most in the end of this war, and it was difficult to solve it.
Guan Yu nodded, looked at Wen Ping, his heart suddenly moved, and said to Wen Ping: "The land of Jingnan has been quite prosperous in recent years, but the population has withered, Zhong Ye can promise these people that if they are willing to move to Jingnan, the government can give some help." ”
As for how to help, it depends on Liu Yi's meaning, now Liu Yi is the governor of the five counties of Jingnan, these things are under Liu Yi's control, Guan Yu only knows that Jingnan lacks population, and the displaced people in the land of Xiangyang should not stay here and get in the way, it is better to be a favor and let them go to the land of Jingnan by themselves.
When Wen Ping heard this, he bowed to Guan Yu and said, "Thank you, Junhou, I will do this at the end!" ”
Guan Yu nodded, and continued to study the map with Ma Liang and the others.
"Although the two cities of Xiangfan are horns of each other, but the Cao army is lacking and cannot connect the city, the Zhongye water army can just cut off the two cities, but this Xiangfan two cities, which city should be attacked first?" Yi Yuan looked at Guan Yudao.
"Attack Fancheng first!" Guan Yu didn't hesitate too much, firstly, the defense of Fancheng was much weaker than that of Xiangyang, and secondly, they had defended Fancheng back then, and they knew Fancheng quite well, and now that they came to attack, it was easier to start with Fancheng first.
