Most of the Jingzhou army were new soldiers, they did not lose their humanity in killing and slaughtering cities like Cao Jun, and there was a need for transformation, so Wei Yan tried his best to drive and capture prisoners, and the occasional killing was just for deterrence!

Like a shepherd dog driving a sheep, the Wei army followed the Jingzhou army and rushed to Hanshui.

The cities north of the Han River and east of the Han River were all recovered by the follow-up forces of the Wei army.

Now there is only one Fan City left!

Wei Yanze rode the slope and picked up a telescope, and the scene in front of the gate of Fancheng was clearly visible.

The defeated army of Jingzhou that was defeated, and those who could escape by boat from the Hanshui ferry all fled.

Liu Biao, Kuai Yue, Yi Yuan, Huang Zu and more than 2,000 remnants of the army fled to the Han River in a hurry.

When the Jingzhou navy tried to meet the defeated army again, they found that the ferry on their north bank had been occupied by the Wei army.

The routs who had not had time to get on the boat and escape all fled into Fancheng in a flock, scrambling to escape into the city, and they all wanted to escape into the city as soon as possible to avoid being slaughtered by the Wei army.

They pushed me like this, but they completely blocked the north gate of Fancheng.

Hundreds of steps north from the city gate, densely packed with panicked Jingzhou soldiers!

Xu Huang rode his horse and rushed over, and when he saw the scene at the north gate of Fancheng, he said excitedly: "What Xu Junshi said is very true, now is a good opportunity to take Fancheng!" ”

"Definitely! Thanks to the Yuan Zhi reminder! Wei Yan nodded and smiled: "Fancheng is the most important barrier north of the Hanshui in Xiangyang. ”

Fancheng, north of Hanshui, is the gateway to Wancheng, and Fancheng and Xiangyang support each other, once Fancheng is lost, there is only one Hanshui in Xiangyang to block!

It can be seen from history that the importance of Fancheng can be seen, and this Fancheng must be won.

Guan Yu in history was unable to take advantage of the situation because of his fierce soldiers in Fancheng, and as a result, he was exploited by Soochow.

Historically, when Sun Quan attacked Hefei, Cao Wei's main forces were stationed in Huainan, and Yangzhou Assassin Shi Wenhui said to Yanzhou Assassin Shi Pei Qian: "Although there are thieves here, it is not worth worrying about. Now that the water has just risen, the general of Zhengnan Cao Ren is alone in the depths, there is no long-term preparation, Guan Yu is strong and cunning, I am afraid that there will be changes in the general of Zhengnan. Soon, Guan Yu really ordered Nanjun Taishou Mi Fang to guard Jiangling, and the general Fu Shiren to guard the public security, and he himself led his army to attack Cao Ren in Fancheng. Cao Cao sent a general to Ban to lead the Seventh Army to rescue Xiangfan. Liyi general Pang De engaged Guan Yu and shot Guan Yu in the forehead with an arrow. At that time, Pang De often rode on a white horse, and Guan Yujun was known as the white horse general, and he was very jealous of him. In August, it rained heavily for more than ten days, the Han River swelled, Guan Yu dug the river embankment to flood the forbidden army, although the forbidden army was on the flat ground, but was flooded five or six zhang, the seven armies were submerged, Yu Ban only climbed high and looked at the water with the generals, there was no evasion, Guan Yu attacked Yu Ban by big boat, and surrendered to Yu Ban. Cao Cao was very surprised to learn the news of Yu Ban's surrender. Guan Yu attacked Pang De's army by boat, most of Pang De's army surrendered to Guan Yu, Pang De was outnumbered, and was finally captured by Guan Yu, Pang De's brother was an official in Shu Han Han, Guan Yu wanted to persuade Pang De to surrender, but Pang De scolded and refused to surrender, Guan Yu then beheaded him. Guan Yu took advantage of the victory to launch a fierce attack on Fancheng, Fancheng flooded, the city wall collapsed, and Cao Ren's defenders were also greatly reduced due to many defeats, only a few thousand people remained, Fancheng was besieged several times, cut off from the outside and inside, and the food was almost eaten, and all the generals were panicked. Cao Ren, under the persuasion of full favor, swore an oath with the soldiers to defend the city to the death. Guan Yu sent other generals to surround the general Lü Chang in Xiangyang. Jingzhou Thorn Shi Hu Xiu and Nanxiang Taishou Fu Fang both surrendered to Guan Yu. In October of the same year, Lu Hunmin, Sun Wolf and others suffered from forced labor, rebelled and rebelled, attached to Guan Yu in the south, and received Guan Yu's seal from afar, and supported the party for it, and Guan Yu's momentum once shocked China.

Cao Cao thought that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was in Xudu, very close to Guan Yu's army, and wanted to move the capital to avoid its edge, but Sima Yi, Jiang Ji and others dissuaded him, thinking that Sun Quan must not want to see Guan Yu's ambition, and he could send troops to attack Guan Yu from behind on the condition that he promised to give Jiangnan to Sun Quan, and at the same time Cao Cao sent Xu Huang, Zhao Yan and others to lead the army to rescue Fancheng, and was ready to personally conquer Guan Yu.

Xu Huang, who rescued Fancheng, thought it would be difficult to compete with Guan Yu due to insufficient troops, but Cao Cao successively sent generals such as Xu Shang and Lü Jian, as well as twelve battalions of soldiers and horses such as Yin and Zhu Gai to reinforce Xu Huang. Guan Yu sent troops to garrison in Weitou, and there were garrisons in Sizuka. Xu Huang then threatened to attack Weitou, but secretly attacked the four mounds. Guan Yu saw that the four mounds were in danger, so he personally led 5,000 infantry and cavalry to fight, Xu Huang met the attack, and Guan Yu retreated. Guan Yu had ten antlers in front of the trench, Xu Huang pursued Guan Yu, both of them entered Guan Yu's encirclement of Fancheng, the encirclement was broken, Fu Fang and Hu Xiu were killed, Guan Yu then retreated, but Guan Yu's ships were still guarding the water, and the road to Xiangyang was never passable.

At first, Sun Quan once sent someone to propose to Guan Yu's daughter for his son, but Guan Yu insulted the envoy and refused to marry, and Sun Quan was very angry. Sun Quan ordered Lü Meng to attack Jingzhou as the commander-in-chief, and personally led the army as a backup. The important town of Jingzhou, Jiangling, guarded general Elfang (Liu Bei's brother-in-law), and the public security guard Shiren surrendered without a fight because of a disagreement with Guan Yu. When Guan Yu led the troops to the battle, Mi Fang and Shiren were responsible for supplying food and grass and military supplies, and the two were unwilling to go all out to rescue Guan Yu, Guan Yu said: "I will punish them when I go back." Both Mi and Shi were terrified. So Sun Quan secretly sent people to lure Mi and Shi to surrender.

At this time, after Guan Yu learned that Nanjun was lost, he immediately retreated south. On the way back to the division, Guan Yu sent envoys to contact Lü Meng many times, and Lü Meng treated Guan Yu's envoys well each time, allowed all kinds of tours in the city, and expressed condolences to the relatives of Guan Yu's subordinates. When the envoy returned, Guan Yu's subordinates privately asked him about the situation at home, knowing that the family was safe, and he was treated more than before, so Guan Yu's soldiers had no intention of fighting again, and the soldiers gradually dispersed and retreated to Maicheng. In December of the same year, Guan Yu led dozens of horsemen to escape, all the way to Linfang, which was only one or twenty miles away from Yizhou, and was ambushed by Ma Zhong, the general of Pan Zhang's department, and was captured, and his eldest son Guan Ping was killed in Linfang.

If Wei Yan wanted to capture Xiangyang, capturing Fancheng was naturally a prerequisite condition.

Liu Biao is not an idiot, he knows the importance of Fancheng, so he has built Fancheng as impregnable, and now he also sends Governor Cai Mao to defend Fancheng!

Before this, Wei Yan was also worried, they didn't carry siege weapons, how to take Fancheng, and now seeing the chaotic scene at the north gate of Fancheng, he found that he didn't have to worry at all!

Now that the Jingzhou army is so chaotic, the city gate is wide open, don't take this opportunity to seize the city, let alone when!

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows, raised the red blood knife, pointed forward, and shouted: "The sons and daughters of the Wei family's army, follow the general to enter Fancheng, and those who enter the city first will be rewarded with a hundred gold!" ”

Under the heavy reward, these Wei soldiers who were already very strong in morale pounced on Fancheng like wolves!
