Guan Ping didn't come alone, and he came with the most elite five hundred cavalry in the Guan Yu army.

It stands to reason that after our army captured Xiangyang and Cao Ren retreated to Fancheng, there was no Cao army south of Hanshui, and Guan Ping just came to pass a military order, so he didn't have to bring so many cavalry to protect himself. At this time, there was a murderous formation outside the courtyard gate, and those who didn't know thought that Guan Ping was the head that was taken by General Guan's order!

Of course, Guan Ping has been looking at me coldly since he read the military order to me, and it seems that he has made all the preparations for my disobedience.

At this time, I can say that I miss Zheng Liang even more, if he is still by my side now, even if he may not be able to defeat Guan Ping, but at least he has five hundred personal soldiers under his command here, I don't have to be so faceless in front of Guan Ping.

Ma Liang's face was not very good-looking, he looked at Guan Ping, then at me, and finally his eyes stayed on my face, looking at his expression, it was obvious that he didn't want me to have a head-on conflict with Guan Ping.

Guan Yu's military order is very clear, Cao Cao led 20,000 troops to rescue Fancheng with Yu Ban, who was guarding Runan, in order to prevent Yu Ban from approaching Fancheng, Guan Yu asked me to leave 3,000 people to garrison Xiangyang, and the remaining 7,000 people were all sent to the front line of Fancheng for him to dispatch.

Historically, the Seventh Army led by Yu Ban and Pang De was actually far more than 20,000 people, and in terms of the degree of elite, it must have been much more elite than the local army guarding Runan. The reason why it has become the way it is now is because Cao Cao has been defeated from Hanzhong in history, and the army has returned to Chang'an, but now Cao Cao's main force is still confronting Liu Bei in Hanzhong, so he can only call Yu Ban to bring his army in Runan to help.

In fact, Yu Ban in Runan is also a key chess piece for the current Cao Cao, it is like the middle of a flat arm, although it will not be directly attacked by our army and Eastern Wu, but it is carrying Xiangfan on one side and Hefei on the other, and this army can go to reinforcements in time no matter where there is something. The last time Sun Quan attacked Hefei, it was Yu Ban's rescue troops who arrived first, forcing Eastern Wu to withdraw his troops earlier.

If my 7,000 troops go to the front line of Fancheng, then the comparison of our military strength with Cao's army will reach a relatively balanced state, although the situation is no longer as good as the previous siege of Cao Ren's lone army in Fancheng, but with Guan Yu has already controlled the terrain around Fancheng first, our army will still have a slight advantage.

Of course, because the tiger of Dongwu has been eyeing Nanjun in the east, whether our army can win in Fancheng has never been the first question I want to consider.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Guan Yu defeated Yu Ban, and even captured Fancheng and arrived at the city of Xuchang, it would only make his army farther and farther away from Nanjun, and after being attacked by Eastern Wu, the situation would become worse and worse.

But the current situation seems to be unrealistic if I don't send troops, even if I tell Guan Ping now that Soochow will attack Jingzhou, Guan Ping, who already knows that Guan Yu has arranged the beacon tower, will feel that I am worrying about the sky.

It seems that the first plan I have been brewing for a long time to ambush the Wu army by the river will not work anyway.

At this point, I was relieved. I groaned for a while, and then said to Guan Ping with a smile: "General Ben has just returned to Xiangyang, and there are still many things to deal with, wait for me to write a military order, General Guan can take this to the barracks to lead 7,000 troops to Fancheng, and after I finish handling the miscellaneous affairs, I will go to General Guan's account to listen to the tune." ”

Although I am "still young", I am also the general of Pingxi who is only under Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Liu Beijun's military positions, and at this time I put my qualifications on Guan Ping, one is to get some face in front of him, but I want to tell him clearly, although I dare not resist Guan Yu's military order, but he Guan Ping can fiddle with it at will.

It may be that Guan Ping has been thinking about it before, and what Guan Yu told him before he came was all me, if he refused to send troops, what would he do. Judging from his slightly surprised expression, he probably didn't expect his trip to be so smooth.

More importantly, I not only agreed to send troops, but also handed over the command to him, you must know that although our army is nominally owned by Liu Bei, among these generals under Liu Bei, who actually controls more troops, whether it is the status in Liu Bei's heart, or the weight of what he says when deliberating, is heavier.

Although I also said that I would listen to the scene after dealing with miscellaneous things, anyone can hear it, it is just a pretext, I actually want to sit firmly in Xiangyang City, and I don't want to go to the front line to charge. In this way, although Guan Ping took 7,000 people with him, because I didn't go, even if the generals returned to me after winning the battle in the future, they could still count the loss of many dead on my head, and only return a few soldiers to me.

I am so talkative, and so generous, that Guan Ping's 500 cavalry have become decorations, and I have really wasted a lot of horsepower and forage of our army in vain.

It seemed that he cared most about the 7,000 soldiers, and he didn't care so much about whether I went or not. In the case that the goal has been achieved and it has far exceeded his expectations, in the face of the frame of General Pingxi that I brought out, he could no longer give me too much face in front of everyone, so he hugged me and said: "The military situation is urgent, then please ask the general to write immediately, and the last general will transfer troops to the front line!" ”

I know that with my age and the fact that my previous combat exploits in Xichuan were not too glorious, it would be too reluctant for Guan Ping to convince me. Seeing that he lowered his posture and said this to me against his will, I stopped being verbose, and immediately ordered the paperwork to prepare the things, so I immediately wrote down the military order in front of Guan Ping, and called Shana and asked her to take Guan Ping to the military camp to transfer troops.

Ma Liang was also very happy to see that I didn't have any conflict with Guan Ping, and after Guan Ping left, he praised me vigorously, which was worthy of being taught by Kong Ming.

I thought to myself that I don't know anything but also know it, and now I only have 3,000 soldiers left in my hands, and I have to guard Xiangyang, although the morale of our army is high because of the military victories, but the people in the city are only known to me, in fact, Jingzhou's game of chess, in fact, has almost reached the Jedi.

I don't have much to say at this point, after Guan Ping led the troops out of the city and Shana returned to me, I immediately repaired the book to Qing'er, and asked Shana to take it back to Wuling immediately, and arrange some things that I could arrange first, of course, in the leather bag with the letter, and a military order I prepared for Shana in a bag, but I told Shana that this military order could only be opened after Qing'er read my letter.

Shana was very curious about my mysterious behavior, but she wanted to pretend that she didn't know anything about it in front of me. She was also very happy to be able to go back to Wuling to see Qing'er, and after listening to my instructions, she waved her hand impatiently and said, "Got it!" "I didn't mean anything at all, so I went back to pack my things.

After Shana left, the next thing I had to do was to wait for the 50,000 arrows that Lu Suna promised me, and only when these arrows really arrived, I would have the capital to carry out the next plan.

What I didn't expect was that in the next two days, I not only waited for the arrow that Lu Su promised me, but also waited for someone who brought me unexpected surprises.
