As Xu Tan said, if you want to break through Xiaxiang County, the best way is to attack from all sides, after all, the defenders of Xiaxiang County are less than 3,000 people, and it is impossible to cover all aspects in the face of the Xuzhou army's large-scale attack.

But this is not Guan Yu's purpose, a Xiaxiang County with less than 3,000 defenders and only a thousand regular troops can't make big waves, and the important point of the Danyang Army is not just to capture a small Xiaxiang County, there will be Guangling County in the city to be captured in the future, and that is the place where the Danyang Army wants to die!

"If you can't beat Xia Xiang County in one day, will you spend a day here? Then if your Danyang army can't defeat Xiaxiang County in a year, will our army have to spend a year in Xiaxiang County? ”

Guan Yu split his head and covered his face, and mercilessly criticized the three of them, some things, the lord is not good to do because of his reputation, but he can do it, this is also the purpose of the lord who sent him on this trip, there is always someone to sing with a white face and a red face, so what if he sings the name of this wicked man: "Immediately organize the army and go straight to Huaiyin!" ”

"Leading general, even a small county and Xiaxiang County are difficult to conquer, but you want to fight a big county like Huaiyin? Could it be that you ......" Zhang Yu on the side saw that Xu Tan was unstoppable, and hurriedly dragged him, which shocked his heart and hurriedly swallowed what he was going to say next.

He wanted to say Are you crazy, if our army first comes, seize the opportunity to attack Huaiyin may not be able to take advantage of the unprepared defenders in the city to conquer Huaiyin County, but at this moment Huaiyin has already prepared to attack such a strong city, don't you let me Danyang Erlang die in vain?

Xu Tan greeted Guan Yu with an ugly face, wrinkled his brows, and said: "Leading the general, instead of attacking Huaiyin, it is better to besiege the city and send reinforcements, and the last general Su Zhizhen will be a man." At that time, he will definitely come to the rescue, and the general will also set up an ambush and annihilate it outside Xiaxiang County in one fell swoop. ”

"Yes, leading general!" The excited Zhang Yu came out and echoed. Said: "General Guan, the Danyang Army's combat strength is the best in the world, and it is not that the last general cannot defeat Xiaxiang County, and the soldiers do not serve to die, but the enemy has a city wall bunker, and our army cannot exert 100% strength, but if the army is exchanged in the wilderness, the last general dares to use the head of Xiang Shang as a guarantee, no matter who leads the troops to help." Defeat their army! ”

Guan Yu's face has become more and more gloomy, and he glanced at Cao Bao, who had never expressed his position, and the lord did not move, if Shi Shiran dealt with these two clowns, it would be unwise, and snorted: "What I meant just now is already very clear, and I think you all understand what the lord meant, take Guangling County as quickly as possible and solve the problem of Rong." Could it be that the two of you mean that if you can't capture Xia Xiang County, the army will never be able to go south? Or don't go south? But. ”

Guan Yu changed his words and said, "But your suggestion is very good. But can just the county really attract Rong to help? Such a small fight, even the reinforcements who came were just some clowns, since they wanted to surround the reinforcements, then surround a bigger one, in this way, Zhenrong just didn't want to help. I have to help, understand? ”

Guan Yu said that it is not leaky, since the military order can't convince you, then follow your wishes, don't you want to surround and send reinforcements. Okay, I agree, you didn't say it this time, as for why you changed the capture of Xiangxian County to Huaiyin, first of all, of course, the importance of Huaiyin County, and secondly, the reinforcement of the troops is of course the Xuzhou Army, then the besieging troops will naturally be the turn of the Danyang Army, but the siege of the city must not be beaten, in order to ensure that the news of Huaiyin's request for help reaches Zhenrong's ears as soon as possible, so the troops besieging Huaiyin must really fight, of course, these things will not let Cao Bao and the three of them know for the time being.

Soon the three armies gave the order to withdraw the siege and go south to Huaiyin, and Guan Yu looked at the young guards stationed at the head of the city when he was leaving, and seemed to be very interested in him.

Although he has never fought against him head-on, Guan Yu has already begun to look forward to breaking his hard shell one day in the future.

~~~~~~~~~

On the day the army arrived in Huaiyin, it began to besiege the city on all sides, while gathering all the generals to arrange reinforcements, and at the same time deploying Cao Bao Danyang's army to attack Huaiyin! ”

When I heard Guan Yu say that they would start attacking the city from tomorrow after a day of rest, Xu Tan and Zhang Yu immediately burst into thunder: "Since you want to send reinforcements, why do you need to attack the city, doesn't this make my Danyang army die in vain?" ”

Among the three, except for Cao Bao, who has always kept silent, the rest of them have already blown their beards and stared, and their anger has reached the peak of eruption, and Zhang Yu is even more angry and laughs, until this moment he understands why Guan Yu changed his attack to Huaiyin County. Why was he confused and didn't react at that time, if he had reminded Cao Bao earlier, he would not have fallen for such a bad deed as Guan Yu.

"It is precisely because we want to send reinforcements that we have to attack the city, and only in this way can we let the Zhenrong reinforcements come as soon as possible, how? Will you not be able to disobey? Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes closed slightly, and Zhou Cang behind him instantly took a step forward as if he had been instructed, and Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao also came out of the ranks almost at the same time, facing the generals of the Danyang Army.

Guan Yu's attitude completely angered Xu Tan, he held the sword at his waist with a terrifying glint in his eyes, and he wanted to go up and take off Guan Yu's head with a knife, but Guan Yu's eyes were always closed, as if he didn't see all this at all, and the general never moved, and the three Zhou Cang, who had not received further instructions, naturally did not dare to act rashly, and the atmosphere became more tense for a while.

And at the moment when Xu Tan completely lost his mind, he planned to strike first, and even sat in the main seat, Guan Yu's palm, which had always been closed, began to look at the moment when he raised it, but he saw Cao Bao stretch out his hand, forcibly pressed the palm of Xu Tan's hand on the hilt of the sword, and scolded him angrily. This Huaiyin is going to be fought no matter what, but there is a feint to attack the city, and it is said that the 4,000 people of our Danyang Army can capture Huaiyin County? Naturally not, so Guan Lingjun's intention was just to let my Danyang army feint to defeat Huaiyin, and you idiots not only ignored General Guan's intentions, but even roared in the military tent, and didn't hurry up to General Guan to make amends! ”

Although Guan Yu closed his eyes slightly, he was thinking in his heart whether he could take this opportunity to break Cao Bao's arm, and then he only needed to give Xu Tan a crime of treason, so how would Cao Bao and Zhang Yu react? Silence or silence for a while and then go back to the trouble, but the latter is likely to lose more than it gains.

Then you can only use the excuse of Xu Yan. Get rid of the three of them, but how will the Danyang Army react at that time? There is no need to think that the lieutenant colonel of the battalion will inevitably launch a mutiny, and such infighting will not be worth the loss and will not be enough.

And the last one is to use Xu Tan's excuse to control the three of them, and then recruit Danyang Army officers in the name of Cao Bao. So as to completely control Cao Bao and the Danyang army, so that it does not cost a single soldier, it is the best policy.

But the words that the lord had specially explained to him before he came still echoed in his ears: Danyang's military is unstable, if you cut the grass and eradicate the roots, the lord's coldness at that moment even Guan Yu and a battlefield veteran have a trace of trance, is such a ruthless method still the former lord? Later, he knew that this was Chen Deng's plan, but no matter whose plan it was, he didn't hesitate to use it!

Since this is the choice of the lord, then he can only carry it out. Originally, he wanted to let the Danyang army run out under the siege, so that not only could he protect the reputation of the lord, but also cover up the fact that the Danyang army was removed, which was the only way he could think of the best of both worlds, but the Danyang army, Cao Bao, the commander of the Danyang army, and the generals under his account were not fools, and they would really be stupid to send them to death?

The last thing he wanted to see happened anyway, and his mood at the moment can be imagined. It is difficult to ride a tiger, and it is a dilemma. But now it's got to this point. It's useless to compromise, could it be that now the compromise Danyang Army will obediently cooperate? Not only will it not, but the Danyang army is also very likely to mutiny.

Maybe the Danyang army would not mutiny in the past, but now he didn't dare to guarantee that maybe after going out of the big tent, Cao Leopard would fight back.

So at the moment, there is only the third option. First control Cao Bao and the three people, and then control the officers of the Danyang Army, so as to completely control the Danyang Army, although this is against the original intention of the lord, but between the collection and elimination of the elite Danyang Army. Guan Yu is more inclined to the former, it's not that he wants to go against Liu Lan's wishes, but because the situation is compelling, he can't help it!

"I think the three of you misunderstood the meaning of so-and-so, I mean, tomorrow the Danyang army will storm Huaiyin instead of a feint!" Guan Yu, who had been silent for a long time, still closed his eyes, but his voice seemed to come from the netherworld, which was eerie and chilling!

"Guan Yu, don't deceive people too much, others are afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you, I'm in a hurry, I'll take the people and horses to fight with you now!" Zhang Zhen finally couldn't help jumping out and said: "It's a death inside and out, since you don't give me a way to live for the Danyang Army, then I might as well have a fight with him, whether it's dead or alive, I don't know!" ”

Cao Bao knew that the general trend had gone the moment Zhang Yu pulled out his sword, and he finally persuaded Xu Tan, but Guan Yu's words completely angered Zhang Zhen and Xu Tan, and looked up at Guan Yu, but saw that his Danfeng eyes suddenly opened slightly at this time, Cao Bao just waited to persuade again, Guan Yu's next words made him completely fall into the ice cellar, and sighed Danyang Jun came to the end.

When Guan Yu's sentence was cold and without the slightest emotion: "Take it!" When Guan Yu's own soldiers rushed into the tent outside the tent, the original imposing Cao Bao and the three people were subdued by the Yellow Turban Sanjie without even holding out ten rounds, unbelievable, but they had to be convinced, if they were captured by Guan Yu, even if they died, they would not be convinced, and they wanted to scold happily, but in a fierce fight one by one, the three of them were completely defeated, and they didn't even have the strength to fight back. The skills are not as good as people, otherwise they would not have become prisoners so easily.

Immediately after Guan Yu began to purge the Danyang Army all night, after getting rid of nearly 100 officers above the rank of Bai Chang, the Xuzhou Danyang Army completely became a historical term.

The tense atmosphere last night was actually not tense, and its simplicity exceeded Guan Yu's belief, but it was also, how could the leaderless Danyang army make any waves under the eyes of the Xuzhou soldiers.

When the sun rose on the second day, when the bright sun shone into Guan Yu's big tent, Guan Yu, who had been deployed all night, woke up with sleepy eyes, although he didn't sleep all night, although he only made up for half an hour's sleep, but when such a new day came, he couldn't be allowed to snooze again, because there were more important things he needed to deal with, that is, Guangling's Danyang Army!

Huaiyin City still wants to attack, but now it is only a feint.

Due to yesterday's rectification, all the troops sent out to send reinforcements rushed back, and now they are in a square formation under Huaiyin City to accept the review of this Guan Yu.

In front of him, there are no more than 10,000 Danyang troops, some are just scattered to various departments, reintegrated together the new Xuzhou army, 30,000 troops divided into six phalanxes, six phalanxes from right to left (note, Qin to the left is respected, Han is to the right is noble) respectively to stand on the horse is Zhou Cang, under the jurisdiction of 5,000 people in the guard battalion, Pei Yuanshao under the jurisdiction of 5,000 archers, Guan Hai under the jurisdiction of 5,000 crossbowmen, Chen Feng under the jurisdiction of 5,000 sword and shield hands, Zhao Lei under the jurisdiction of 5,000 Ge soldiers, Yuan Long under the jurisdiction of 5,000 spearmen.

The phalanx of 30,000 people spread out in front of Huaiyin City, which is extremely spectacular. Guan Yu once had such a scene and felt it personally, it was still on the front line of Dong, but at that time, he could only be regarded as a small person even by the lord Liu Lan, as if the soldiers and horses of more than 30,000 people could look at it from afar, but it was by no means something he dared to think of as easily mobilized as today.

If you ask Guan Yu, who was on the front line of sour jujube at that time, if you would one day review the three armies like Yuan Shao, what would you say to them?

Guan Yu thought at that time that he would definitely be like Yuan Shao and make a lot of high-pitched remarks or say, what to say? I'll talk about it someday.

But I really waited for such a day, looking at the soldiers who were densely packed, the armor was distinct, the swords and guns were flashing, the advance was orderly, the retreat was regular, the spirit was like a heavenly soldier, and the momentum was like an ocean, Guan Yu's brain was blank, and he didn't know what to say for a while! He hated himself for not having typed the manuscript in advance.

This assembly has already alarmed the defenders in Huaiyin City, one by one, as if they were facing a great enemy, silently guarding the tower, staring at every move under the city, guarding against the enemy who may attack at any time!

Guan Yu, who was inspecting in front of the formation after being silent for a long time, stiffened his brows and shouted, there was no way for more than 30,000 people to star, how could he say something, otherwise how would he face them in the future, and shouted: "Brothers, let me tell you, a few years ago, I was just a small horse archer like you, and I listened to the captain's lecture like you, but today I walked here from among you to lecture you, what does this mean, it shows that one day, you will also stand here, and I, It's the future of you!
