Pang De snorted coldly: "This Yu Wenze only knows about military training, and he doesn't know about the matters on the battle array, but he doesn't know why the prime minister handed over such an important matter to him. What a mistake! ”

The general patted his ass on the back as he followed Pound out of the camp gate and went back to his base camp.

Since someone informed Yu Ban of Pound's remarks, Yu Ban was angry, but he never said a word, because he knew that the situation in Xiangfan really needed a figure like Pang De to break the situation, if not, I am afraid that the prime minister would be extremely disappointed in himself.

Guan Yu kept attacking Fancheng, Fancheng was already piled up with corpses near the left, in addition to the 5,000 armor soldiers under Cao Ren's command in Fancheng, there were still more than 3,000 county soldiers, and a small Fancheng was like a nail, nailed to Guan Yu's throat, making this generation of famous generals like a fish in the throat, very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the situation in the city is also unbearable, Cao Ren's military horses have lost more than 1,000 people, you must know that these military horses are the elite who followed Cao Ren in the south and the north in the past, and it is distressing to die Cao Ren, and it is more than 1,000 people, and it is because of such people and horses that tens of thousands of well-trained Jingzhou soldiers are blocked outside the walls of Fancheng.

Cao Ren, whose tiger eyes were full of bloodshots, stood at the north gate of Fancheng, his eyes looking north, as if there was something attractive in the north.

Man Pet slowly came behind Cao Ren and said slowly: "General! ”

Cao Ren turned his head and slowly sat down in the gatehouse full of arrows: "Boning, if you spend so much, what time is it!" You see that Jingzhou military horses seem to be endless. Endless, at the beginning, I still had some ambitions to keep Guan Yunchang out of the city, so that the prime minister knew that the generals under his command were no worse than Guan Yunchang. But I have been here for so long, and I have never seen half of the reinforcements, and Yu Wen has 20,000 military horses. But he can't go beyond Xiangyang by half a step, is this Guan Yunchang really so terrifying? ”

Man Zhong just slowly stroked the beard on his cheeks, at this moment he was also covered in black ash, and the sword at his waist was also stained with blood, even he, a scribe who was long in Lunze, had to participate in the battle, which showed how critical the situation was during the day.

"General! If the whole of our army thinks like the general, I think that the city really cannot be defended, and maybe it will be broken tomorrow! Full of pets said in a deep voice.

Cao Ren was indifferent and stuck to it for months. made this old general who was no longer old also full of fatigue, and the non-stop attack of the Jingzhou army made everyone's nerves in the city collapse. Not a single person ever shouted tired. No one has ever shouted bitterness, in fact, it is because Cao Ren is on the front line all the time, and even a few times, when the Jingzhou army attacked at night, Cao Ren also appeared at the head of the city and personally participated in the battle to disintegrate the offensive of the Jingzhou army.

"The prime minister put the general here. It is because of the general's strengths that he is good at defending the city. Man Pet said slowly. The general's duty is related to the situation of the whole world, if Fancheng is broken, Guan Yu can take advantage of the situation to enter Wancheng, and look down on Luoshui when the time comes. Even the most important cities such as Xuchang and Luoyang are also about to fall. If it is unfortunate, the Son of Heaven will fall into his hands. Then our army will no longer have the support of righteousness! ...... then"

Man Zhong didn't continue to talk anymore, because the situation below is a common man, and the villain in the market also knows that it is nothing more than the defeat of the Cao clan and the extinction of the clan.

Cao Ren dragged his tired body and slowly stood up: "Boning, you go to sleep first, I will go to the city, and I am afraid that the people of Jingzhou will not stop much in the second half of the night." ”

Man Pet also got up, looking at the tired but proud figure in front of him, Man Pet saluted from afar: "Alas! ”

The night in Fancheng was silent and tense.

Guan Yu has not slept well for several days and nights, and if Fancheng has not been breached, he will not be at peace for a day, the existence of this Fancheng is really intolerable for Guan Yu. Before he attacked Xiangfan, the news from the scouts under Huo Yi was already very clear, that is, the heavily guarded Fancheng, Guan Yu was also well aware of the facilities in it, even if it was so, Guan Yu couldn't take this strong city like this, this Cao Ren was indeed a fierce general, even Guan Yu could only evaluate such a person.

Guan Yu knew that under the repeated siege of tens of thousands of military horses, he would defend a city as impregnable, and he was afraid that only his father's father had such ability.

sounded his own righteous son, Guan Yu was extremely proud, although Huo Yi's growth, he basically did not intervene, but such a righteous son did give him a long face. Today, during the day, a good news came from Jingnan, the Jiangdong Army attacked Jingnan, and Huo Yi was defeated and lost by Huo Yi with a weak enemy, and several generals were lost, some of which were Guan Yu's own opponents, and they had to be careful and vigilant.

Guan Yu looked at Fan Cheng in the distance, in the past, he used to regard the heroes of the world as nothing, but at this moment, he was impressed by a righteous son of his own, I am afraid that it is also because this kid is his own righteous son, otherwise how could he look down on him so highly?

Huo Yi did not point fingers at Guan Yu's Xiangfan strategy in the letter, and even praised it, which made Guan Yu very pleased, although this Fan City had not been captured for a long time, but in Guan Yu's view, it was just a battle of trapped beasts, and the time of defeat was not far away.

However, it is said that the people sent by Pang De are connected with the fine work in the city, and this fine work is mixed into the Jingzhou army, and it is one of the generals, called Zhang Qi. After receiving heavy bribes from Cao Jun in the north, with his identity as a general, he was still able to access many relatively confidential matters.

At this moment, Pang De wanted to use this person to get in touch with the big families of the scholar clan in the city who were inclined to Cao Jun.

He Yingnai is the scout Dubo stationed in Xiangyang in Huo Yi's army, when Xiangyang was in the hands of Cao Jun, he was a small official in Xiangyang City, after the fall of Xiangyang, he did not expose himself, because this identity will sooner or later leave a chance for his future latent work. At this moment, he is a merchant in Xiangyang City, because he has been a small official under Lu Chang, because he has a very close relationship with the big families in the city, and this business is also very open.

During the war, Xiangyang City was undoubtedly a paradise for some merchants who wanted to make a fortune, these people were undoubtedly some people with hands and eyes, whether in the Jingzhou army or in the Cao army, there were people as backers or guarantors, who could let themselves pass through the two places, communicate with each other, and hoard and accumulate strange things, which was the usual means used by these merchants.

This is how He Ying survived, and the business in the city became bigger and bigger, and in the troubled times, two kinds of people could get the most hidden status that others could not imagine, one was a businessman with hands and eyes, and the other was a general with military power.

He Ying was active in this capacity between the military and the big families of Xiangyang City. And the military top brass undoubtedly knows He Ying's true identity.

Zhang Qi wants to get in touch with these scholars is extremely difficult, one is that most of these scholars are high-eyed and low-level people, and most of them are disdainful of their own generals, he also knows that he communicates with such figures, most of them are high-level military officials, and he even knows that his top boss, the partial general who is in charge of a battalion of soldiers and horses, is a figure who often walks between these scholars.

Zhang Qi was very anxious, he knew that once he did this, he might not have to fight in the Jingzhou Army anymore, and he could even get to a higher position in the Northland Army with such a meritorious service. It's because he's very attentive. So much so that he wanted to find a person, and this person could not only communicate with the scholars, but also have a status that he could touch now, and he had to have a mercenary character, and all this was undoubtedly only possible for the merchants in Xiangyang City.

Zhang Qi quickly set his sights on a businessman, he was very active, and his hands and eyes were open to the sky.

After knowing Zhang Qi's intentions, He Ying happily agreed, and even deliberately offered a high price in order to make Zhang Qi feel relieved.

Zhang Qi was also very cheerful and agreed.

He Ying never dreamed that there would be scouts of Cao Jun in the Jingzhou army that had undergone training, and his status was not low, but he was a general.

He Ying first spread the news, but the news could not be directly handed over to the military in Xiangyang City, because He Ying's identity was extremely important, and the news reached the chief trainer sent by Huo Yi in Nanjun to help Guan Yu train the scouts, and he was also the second only person in Huo Yi's scout system after Ye Zhi and Shen Tuqiang, called Bao Xing.

Bao Xing soon came to the Jingzhou military camp outside Fancheng, met Guan Yu, and reported this important information to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was keenly aware that this was an excellent opportunity to defeat the Forbidden Seventh Army, and perhaps defeating the supporting army of the Forbidden Army would deal a severe blow to the arrogance of the defenders of Fancheng, and perhaps force them to surrender.

Guan Yu took the information handed over by Bao Xing, and at this time, he even felt that his righteous son was indeed the noble man of his life, not to mention sending his own military horses, but also cultivating scouts for himself, and actually played such an important role at a critical moment.

Guan Yu immediately summoned his cronies and generals to discuss the military strategy, he really wanted to think carefully, and he was bound to swallow up this group of people and horses.

Bao Xing also participated in the negotiation of the strategy, and finally after the agreement of the generals, it was finally planned by Ma Liang, and this confidential plan was released.

First of all, let He Ying pretend to deal with Zhang Qi, introduce him to a few scholars who served in Jingzhou and their acquaintance, so that they could be misbelieved, and finally set up an ambush to defeat the Cao army of the outer alliance in one fell swoop, as for how to agree on the strategy for the forbidden Seventh Army, it is not Bao Xingneng who knows.

In the end, Guan Yu still divided more than 20,000 military horses, and quietly went north to a deep mountain near the left of Xiangyang to ambush him.
