Of course, Guan Yu knows that fighting a war cannot be done by relying on a few famous generals or a few strategists. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If it is said that the intelligence of the strategists and the ability of the generals to use troops can still play an extremely important role in the development of the situation when the heroes are divided, then this role is more and more weakened when the heroes are gradually extinguished and the land of the world is gradually returned to a few people.

War, to this point, in the end, is still the economic strength, and the economic strength comes from those farmers who work the land and selflessly contribute food to the country.

If Cao Ren succeeds in moving hundreds of thousands of people to the Central Plains, then the entire Northern Jingzhou will become a no-man's land where there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and it is almost impossible to maintain an army that can form a sufficient deterrent to the Central Plains in such a place where there is no common people to provide food and grass nearby.

In other words, if Cao Ren's plan succeeds, even if he Guan Yu gets Xiangyang now, he will sooner or later have to choose to abandon the defense and retreat south due to the lack of food and grass. In this case, you will be busy and end up with nothing.

"Hmph, Cao Ren, this annihilation plan is really poisonous, if we let it succeed, then we won't be busy in vain!"

Guan Yu couldn't help but grit his teeth and scolded, and then gave an order: "Immediately spread the message to the army on the north bank, tell them to start counterattacking immediately, and I will also immediately lead the army on the south bank to cross the river, and be sure to break through Fancheng as soon as possible." ”

The northern Jingzhou occupied by Cao Ying is mainly located on the north and east banks of the Han River, half of Nanyang County and half of Jiangxia County.

The east of Jiangxia County is the Dabie Mountain Range, and if so many people flee over the mountains and mountains, it is estimated that there will be countless casualties in the ditch before they can get out of the Dabie Mountain, so only the Tantu Avenue to Nanyang through Xinye is conducive to large-scale population migration. As for the population of half of Nanyang County, including Xinye, they also have to pass through Xinye, move north to Wancheng, or go to Yuzhou through the more bumpy mountain roads in the east.

Therefore, Xinye has become a vital pivot of Cao Ren's relocation action, but Xinye County has always been an easy place to attack and difficult to defend, and the only barrier that can be relied on is Fancheng in the south. Once Xinye County is occupied, it will also mean the failure of Cao Ren's intentions.

Guan Yu's behavior of rushing to attack Fancheng was theoretically logical, but Fang Shao said: "General Guan, since Cao Ren has this plan, he must have some confidence in Fancheng's ability to defend it. And the heavy stone bullets used in my giant Shenwei cannon have all been exhausted in the battle of Xiangyang City, and it will take some time to collect them again, but I am afraid that our army will not be able to capture Fancheng for a while. ”

Guan Yu said: "Then according to your opinion, what should I do." ”

"In his opinion, we should start from two aspects. The first thing was to quickly send people to infiltrate the enemy's territory and spread rumors to the people of the enemy's territory, saying that they would all become Tuntianke after they were moved north, and then preach that if they could flee to the mountains to hide, when our army came, not only would the land still belong to them, but also exempt fifty percent of the taxes, so that the people would inevitably flee one after another, and would not return to the Central Plains with Cao Renbei. ”

Fang Shao's words hit the nail on the head of Cao Ying's policy.

As everyone knows, Cao Ying's destruction of the powerful and the establishment of tuntian is certainly beneficial to the restoration of social production and the provision of military rations. However, the so-called tuntian system actually used a military means to forcibly restrain the military and the people to carry out a high degree of exploitation of officials and private interests on the land, so that the military and the people of the tuntian all embarked on the road of serfdom.

Therefore, since the beginning of the opening of the tuntian, the people have been reluctant, and many have fled, and Cao Ying has also set up heavy punishments for this to strictly prevent escape. And this is also an important reason for the repeated outbreaks of the lower-class people's uprisings under the jurisdiction of Cao Ying, mainly Tuntian Ke.

These people of Jingzhou were originally people with land and land in their hometowns, but if they were moved to the north, they would inevitably become landless refugees.

Guan Yu nodded again and again, "I heard that when Cao Ying was in Huainan, he wanted to move the people around Wancheng to the north, but as a result, 100,000 people were afraid of becoming Tuntianke, and they rushed to Wu overnight. But I don't know what the second aspect is? ”

Fang Shaodao: "This second, naturally, is to break through Fancheng as soon as possible, as long as Fancheng is a moment, any of Cao Ren's measures will come to naught." ”

Guan Yu thought so, but said: "Having said that, but you also said just now, it is urgent to storm Fancheng, could it be that Zhongzheng has a good plan and can't do it?" ”

Fang Shao shook his head, "Good strategy, I can't think of it for a while, General Guan still has to give me some time." ”

Guan Yu pondered for a moment, "Okay, you just have to think of a way." Tonight, there will be a big banquet to celebrate the victory of Xiangyang, and when tomorrow I will do my best to cross the army south of the Yangtze River to the north. ”

After all, the morale of the soldiers was rising after a great victory, and the feast that night was held in an atmosphere of great joy. As the meritorious ones of the Battle of Xiangyang, Fang Shao and Zhao Yun naturally became the protagonists of the banquet that night.

Fang Shao's relationship with the generals in Jingzhou was mostly harmonious, so at the banquet, the generals came to him one after another to fight for wine, and Fang Shao was also in great interest, and everyone who came did not refuse, and drank until midnight, and then gave up without realizing personnel.

This night, Fang Shao had a lot of vague dreams, he dreamed of the scene when he met Zhuge Rong for the first time on the field path, and also dreamed of the scene of holding Sun Shangxiang who fell from a horse on the avenue of Chaisang City, and finally, he even dreamed of the frightening but sultry moonlight night in Changbanpo...... In his sleep, there was a burst of drumming in his ears, and the sound shattered his chaotic dream, and when Fang Shao opened his eyes, it was already dawn.

Wine, just like a woman, after a night of partying, the next day, there will always be a lot of sequelae, the latter is a faint pain below, and the former is a feeling that the head is about to burst.

Fang Shao got up from the couch in a daze, he knocked his head vigorously, trying to dispel the intense pain, but the result was in vain, the air in the room was very humid, stuffy, and uncomfortable.

So he got out of bed, staggered to the door, and slammed the door open with both hands, and a fresh air came to his face.

It turned out that it was already raining heavily, and the rhythmic sound I heard in my sleep was the sound of the rain hitting the roof tiles.

"'Sneak into the night with the wind, moisturize things silently', it turns out that spring has arrived early, and I only care about fighting, but I forget it."

Fang Shao stretched out his hand, letting the raindrops naughtily spread joy in the palm of his hand, feeling the delicacy and coolness.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and Fang Shao's expression immediately became extremely excited.

So, he galloped out of the courtyard, and before he even had time to wash his face, he rode straight to the north gate. Running to the city gate, the soldiers on duty had just changed shifts, and the city gate had not yet been opened, and all the soldiers felt very strange when they saw that this general was unkempt and rushed in the rain.

Fang Shao was so excited that he couldn't care about their strange eyes, and climbed up the city tower in one breath, he stood there panting, raising his eyes to look at the jade belt not far away.

But in the rain and fog, the waves of the Han River are rolling, and the sound of the surging Han River runs through the ears.

Fang Shao stared at it for a long time, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

…… Thousands of miles away, Huainan.

Before January, Sun Quan personally led the naval army out of the Yangtze River, entered the mouth of Anhui, traced the surface of the Anhui River, and attacked the city of Anhui.

Sun Quan took Gan Ning as the governor of the city, and this 'Jinfan thief' held an iron chain and personally led the army to climb the city, bravely took the lead, and then broke through the Anhui city. Captured Taishou Zhu Guang, joined the army Dong He and tens of thousands of men and women. Zhang Liao's reinforcements went to Jiashi, and when he heard that Anhui City had fallen, he retreated.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Quan took advantage of the victory in Anhui City and personally led 100,000 Wu troops to attack Hefei in the north.

The land of Hefei, the waterway leads to the Huai River in the north and the Yangtze River in the south, and it has been an important town at the intersection of the north and the south since the beginning of the Han Dynasty.

The south of Hefei controls Chaohu Lake, and the water at the eastern end of Chaohu Lake can flow into the Yangtze River from the southeast of Chaoxian County. Cao Ying, according to Hefei, can be transferred from the Huai River at any time to the boat of the water division, to Chaohu Lake to assemble and prepare, and then enter the Yangtze River from the water to attack Wu, so Sun Quan had to be at Lu Meng's suggestion, in the water of the water in the water to set up a dock, in case Cao Yingshui went south into the river.

If the Eastern Wu side takes Hefei, it can advance the front line to the north, use Hefei as a barrier, and Chaohu Lake as the base of the water division, and when necessary, make the water division enter the Huai River north to attack Xuzhou.

After repeated discussions and trade-offs, Sun Quan decided to adopt Lu Su's strategy, and took advantage of Cao Ying's troops in Guanlong to raise troops to attack Hefei again.

At this moment, Sun Quan has led 20,000 vanguard troops to occupy Xiaoyaojin, which is a ferry port on Feishui, located in the northeast corner of Quanfei, and is the main road of Hefei's external traffic.

Dusk was approaching, the soldiers had been marching for a long time, and they were all tired and hungry, so Sun Quan ordered the camp that had been half of the camp to be temporarily stopped, and the whole army ate and rested, and continued to build the village after being in good spirits tomorrow morning.

Sun Quan's big tent of the Chinese army is located on a soil bag two or three meters above the flat ground, where you can clearly see the majestic and magnificent Hefei City.

At this moment, the sun is setting, Hefei City is plated with a layer of golden coat, so far away, it is very magnificent.

"Hmph, old thief Cao, you are so bold, the whole army will go west, leaving only 7,000 people to guard Hefei, you might as well give me Hefei City directly."

Sun Quanzhi was full of pride, muttering to himself, as if he was already imagining the pride of drinking meat with the generals in Hefei City not long after.

At this moment, the soldiers came to deliver a letter, saying that the messenger from Jingzhou was ordered by Fang Shao to deliver this letter.

"Fang Shao's letter?"

Sun Quan looked quite surprised, and his heart suddenly became curious, wondering why his "good sister-in-law" would write a letter to him at such a time.

So, Sun Quan returned to the tent, opened the letter and looked at it, and his complacent expression couldn't help but fade away.
