Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Battle of Crossing the River in White Clothes Begins

Adou can see that Song Lao Er should not be lying this time, Song Lao Er is right, stealing and selling grain and grass, and using the official wharf, and at the same time hiding Guan Yu, it seems that this person's real power is really not small.

There are only a few people in Jingzhou who have real power, first of all, Guan Yu, Liu Bei is not there, Guan Yu must be the boss of Jingzhou. The second is Ma Liang and Xiang Lang, these two people were specially left by Liu Bei to help Guan Yu govern Jingzhou.

As for the rest of the real power figures, they are the Taishou everywhere. At the local level, the power of the Taishou is the greatest. These military rations are going to the Gangneung Wharf, and the person in charge of managing Gangneung is naturally the Nanjun Taishou, which means that this matter may have a lot to do with the Nanjun Taishou.

And now, Nanjun Taishou is Mi Fang!

……

Xu Du.

Cao Ren's urgent documents were sent one after another.

Guan Yu besieged Fancheng, and now Fancheng is already in danger, but he forbade that loser thing, sent all the reinforcements, and everyone was flooded, and his tens of thousands of troops were gone! Now it is not easy to organize hundreds of thousands of reinforcements to support Fancheng! The time to assemble troops alone is enough for Guan Yu to defeat several Fancheng!

If Fancheng was lost, the whole of Nanyang would be exposed to Liu Bei's attack, Nanyang was a plain, and there was not a decent place to defend it except Wancheng. At that time, if Liu Bei sends troops from Shangyong again and joins Guan Yu's army, where can this Nanyang be defended!

If Liu Bei captures Wancheng, at that time, Liu Bei can take Runan to the east, Luoyang to the north, and only need to break through Wuguan to the west, and Chang'an will be close at hand! More importantly, from Nanyang to the northeast, you can approach Xuchang, all the way unimpeded!

Thinking of this, a drop of cold sweat slipped down Cao Cao's head, it looked like this, this was too dangerous! At this time, Cao Cao had already moved the idea of moving the capital.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the military Sima Sima Yi asks to see you!"

Hearing Sima Yi's name, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he said, "Let Zhongda come in!" ”

Soon, a person dressed as a scribe in his thirties walked in outside the door, and this person was Sima Yi!

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Wei!" As soon as Sima Yi came in, he immediately bowed respectfully.

"Zhongda doesn't have to be polite!" Saying that, Cao Cao called Sima Yi to the front: "Zhongda, now the situation in Fancheng is critical, if Fancheng is lost, Liu Bei can drive straight in, and Nanyang will definitely not be protected at that time." Nanyang is only 100 miles away from Xudu, so I want to move the capital, what does Zhongda think? ”

"Prime Minister, don't!" When Sima Yi heard that Cao Cao was going to move the capital, he immediately jumped out to stop him: "Prime Minister, this matter must not be moved!" ”

"Then if Liu Bei calls, what should I do?"

"Prime Minister rest assured, Liu Bei will definitely not be able to fight, I don't expect Guan Yu to be able to capture Fancheng!"

"Guan Yu can't capture Fancheng? Why? Cao Cao asked suspiciously.

"Prime Minister, now that Guan Yu's army is attacking Fancheng, Jingzhou will inevitably be empty, so how can Jiangdong Sun Quan miss such a good opportunity, I expect that Sun Quan will definitely take this opportunity to attack Jingzhou!" Therefore, as long as General Cao Ren can hold out for a few more days, when Sun Quan attacks Jingzhou, Guan Yu will inevitably retreat! ”

Cao Cao frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "Zhongda, this Sun Quan and Liu Bei are still in an alliance now, will they turn their faces?" ”

"The prime minister can rest assured, although Sun Liu is an ally, he has accumulated a long grudge over the years because of the Jingzhou incident. Previously, Liu Bei did not get Shu and could also use the reason that he had no place to settle down, but now Liu Bei has obtained Bashu Hanzhong, in Sun Quan's view, Liu Bei should give Hanzhong to Jiangdong. But this Jingzhou Liu Bei has already eaten it, how can it be so easy to spit it out! ”

Sima Yi said this, peeking at Cao Cao's face, and found that Cao Cao listened very seriously, so he continued: "Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou, Guan Yu is a famous general in the world, Guan Yu is in Jingzhou, and it is difficult for Dongwu to get involved in Jingzhou!" If Guan Yu An'an defends in Jingzhou, Sun Quan may not be able to get Jingzhou for a hundred years, but now that Guan Yu is attacking Fancheng, Sun Quan will definitely not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I expect Sun Quan to send troops to Jingzhou soon! ”

"Zhongda, if Sun Quan really attacks Jingzhou, then what should we do?" Cao Cao asked.

"Prime Minister, the so-called two tigers fight, there must be an injury! So the prime minister doesn't have to be anxious, it doesn't matter who wins or loses between Guan Yu and Sun Quan, just wait until Guan Yu and Sun Quan decide the winner, and then send troops to Jingzhou, you can enjoy the benefits of the fisherman! In addition, the lord also needs to send a large general to lead some men and horses to support Fancheng, and the support of the men and horses does not need to be too many, as long as it can be delayed for some time! ”

"Good strategy! Zhongda's strategy is wonderful! Solve the confusion in my heart! Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction.

"Prime Minister, Lord Manpet asks to see you!" The next person came to report again.

Cao Cao nodded, and after a while, he came in with a full favor, saw Cao Cao, and said: "Prime Minister, Jiangdong sent an envoy to come, saying that Jiangdong will send troops to Jingzhou, hoping that the prime minister can send troops together to attack Guan Yu!" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Sima Yi and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, as Zhong Da expected." The herald ordered Xu Huang to lead his troops to Fancheng to support Cao Ren, not to win this battle, but to be able to drag Guan Yu! ”

"Yes!" After speaking, Man Chong and Sima Yi retreated together.

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi's back and gradually moved away, and sighed softly: "Fengxiao, have you seen it, this Sima Yi's intelligence is outstanding, and he has the style you had back then......"

……

Riverside.

Guan Yu's main force is now in Xiangfan, in order to guard against Jiangdong, Guan Yu set up piers on the Xunyang River to monitor the situation on the Yangtze River.

On the river, a row of merchant ships came slowly, looking at it from a distance, and all the people on board were dressed in white. And the speed of the ship is not very fast.

The soldiers on the pier immediately contacted the navy, which soon got the news and immediately sent a ship to check it out.

Soon check the ships return, these ships are merchant ships, and all the ships are merchants!

Hearing about the merchants, the Jingzhou soldiers no longer stopped them. For these businessmen, everyone is still very welcome. Because as long as the merchant passes by, he will naturally call some passing centigold to be redone for military use, and such a large fleet, this centigold may collect a lot!

But unexpectedly, at the time of the second watch, countless soldiers suddenly rushed out of the merchant ship in front of the head and rushed to the riverside pier. One of the veterans at the head was the Jiangdong general Han Dang, and the rest such as Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang, Xu Sheng, and Ding Feng also led other soldiers to attack at the same time.

The pier platform in this section of the Xunyang River is the first pass of Jiangdong's march into Jingzhou, and it is also the only early warning system in Jingzhou, but Guan Yu tried his best to make this early warning system but did not play any role.

In the winter of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Lu Ziming crossed the river to attack Jingzhou......
