Chapter 105: Asking for Help

"General! The scouts brought back news that Fancheng had been broken by the Jingnan army, and the Jingzhou army, under the command of Guan Yu, had arrived in Xiangyang! "At this moment, thirty miles north of Xiangyang, Cao Jun camped in a big tent, and a scout Du Bo returned to the road.

At this moment, the tent is already star-studded, except for the Lejin Department that is still maneuvering here, Li Dian, Xiahou Yuan, Wen Ping, Cao Zhang, and Zhang He are all here.

And Xiahoudun sat on the main throne proudly, and he was the former enemy commander of this team. The generals in the tent were shocked when they heard this, especially Cao Zhang, he was very aware of the situation of Fancheng, he only evacuated for three days, and such a thing happened, and even when he withdrew, although he gave a suggestion to evacuate, but in his opinion, this Fancheng is not withdrawn, but it can be held for a period of time.

Xiahoudun nodded and said slowly: "Have you ever seen the remnants of our army?" ”

The scout Du Bo was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "I haven't seen our army, but Fancheng burned down the buildings in the city for a fire, leaving a city wall empty. The Jingnan Army only left a small number of military horses to clean up the battlefield, and the brigade was also maneuvering to the north. ”

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly froze, and Xiahoudun waved away Nadubo, got up, and his face was condensed: "Huo's child, it's really vicious!" It's so ruthless! Such a means of anger and resentment, hey! Zixiao ......"

Xiahoudun smashed his fist on the case in front of him, and all the generals in the account were familiar with Cao Ren, even Wen Ping, who was the most distant from Cao Ren, was also silent, burning for the fire, but it was too miserable!

After a long time, Xiahoudun said coldly: "Summoning the three armies, this battle is not simply a battle with the people of Jingzhou for the ownership of Xiangfan, but also a battle of revenge for thousands of soldiers in Fancheng!" ”

Xiahou Yuanrang. is worthy of being a famous general of the Cao Army, and Cao Ren is dead at this moment. Then his value is also to be brought into play, the so-called mourning soldiers will win, with thousands of soldiers up and down Fancheng, and the death of Man Zhong and Cao Ren, and the Jingzhou army is at war. It is also unknown whether the unexpected effect may be obtained.

As soon as Xiahou Dan's order came out, the military needs everywhere quickly raised and bought white cloth, and quickly put the whole army in armor, and the soldiers of the Cao army in black armor were all plain white, and from a distance, it was a breath of slaughter, and Huo Yi's means of burning the city did break Fancheng. But it also aroused the monstrous anger of the armies in the Northland.

At this moment, people pay attention to entering the ground for peace, but burning to ashes is a little unacceptable to most people.

A few days later, Huo Yi's military horses also arrived in Xiangyang, and the generals gathered in Guan Yu's camp, but Huo Yi got the news, but he was stunned, he really didn't expect that such a method would actually arouse the morale of the enemy.

Guan Yu said with a smile: "It's not a good thing that the enemy army is so angry. In my opinion, anger and fear also occupy their main emotions, knowing that they are facing a demon who kills by any means! ”

The generals in the tent are rare to see the arrogant Guan Yu joking. Everyone laughed, and the solemn atmosphere eased a little for a while.

Huo Yi looked at Guan Yu in a daze, he never thought that whether it was history books or romance, Guan Yunchang, who was proud of people, actually had such a witty side. Thinking about it carefully, it was Guan Yu who excused his petty mistakes, and he couldn't help but be a little moved. Originally, he recognized Guan Yu as his father-in-law, and there was an element of respect in it, but he used Guan Yu's identity to protect himself for the purpose of going to Chengdu to protect himself, but this cold Guan Erye really regarded himself as his own, and helped himself many times.

Huo Yi secretly thought that even if he fought this battle, he would also win it, so that this mighty and intimidating world-famous general in China would not be defeated in Maicheng, but also let him go to the extreme of the ministers, so that he would be proud and confident, and no one would say a word about him.

Huo Yi smiled slowly, but his eyes were full of warmth, and he said slowly: "Father-in-law, our army is here, I am afraid that Cao Jun is also going to be assembled, then Cao Cao is even more firmly seated in Wancheng, Yi listened to the reports of the scouts under his command, there are many famous places in Wancheng, and almost all of Cao Cao's think tanks are in Wancheng, but Cao Cao is stranded in Wancheng because of his head illness." Yi guessed that the scale of the two sides in this battle to mobilize so many troops was not trivial, and according to the usual experience, this Cao Cao must have come to the front line to supervise the battle. ”

Huo Yi paused, and then said: "Now most of Nanjingzhou is in the hands of our army, which can be regarded as a state, but our army wants to fight against Cao's army in a state, is it a letter to ask the lord to send some reinforcements!" ”

It's not the first time Guan Yu has heard such a suggestion from his soldiers, but he is so arrogant that he refuses them one by one, because he is arrogant, he wants to challenge Cao Jun, who occupies most of the Central Plains of Kyushu, so this is what a hero does, isn't it? But when these words came out of Huo Yi's mouth, he had to think about it carefully.

Zhu Wenwu in the account also looked at Guan Yu, waiting for his reaction, Zhao Lei and Wang Fu also looked at Guan Yu, in fact, this suggestion had already been put forward by Zhao Lei before, but Guan Yu rejected him. Zhao Lei, who was anxious, found Huo Yi, who had just arrived in Xiangyang, and told Huo Yi his thoughts, Huo Yi had also thought about such a thing.

But Huo Yi always felt that if the lord had just stabilized in Hanzhong, he was afraid that the sergeants would have been exhausted, and the supplies would be exhausted, and even if the support for Jingzhou was limited, and once people were sent, most of them would be Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Fa Zheng who were higher than Guan Yu.

Huo Yi is confident that on the march and the confrontation between the two armies, he will defeat these three people with the confidence accumulated after so many battles. Especially when these three people come, I am afraid that the power is above Guan Yu, and they will be more constrained when they act.

But he was also uneasy in his heart, there were a lot of military horses in Jingzhou, but there were surrendered troops and generals, and there were more than 110,000 military horses stationed here, which was comparable to the number of more than 100,000 military horses in the north, but he knew very well what kind of military horses those military horses in the north were, which were the elite divisions of Cao Cao's pacification of Wuhuan and Xianbei, and followed Cao Cao's southern expedition to the north.

The Jingzhou army formed the army late, and the big battles basically did not experience much, and the only ones who fought a tough battle were the 30,000 old soldiers of Jingzhou under Guan Yu, plus the more than 10,000 Jiangdong troops under Huo Yi, as well as the troops he had brought to Hanzhong. More than half of the men were half-new armorers.

It was Huo Yi who suggested to Guan Yu, he didn't expect Guan Yu to accept it, but what surprised Huo Yi at this moment was that Guan Yu was actually silent, and even looked at his crimson face, he was actually thinking carefully about Huo Yi's suggestion.

Huo Yi knew that his current status in Guan Yu's mind was not low, but he never thought about it, but it was so high that even the suggestions he put forward, Guan Yu had to think carefully about whether it was necessary to adopt them.

Huo Yi hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, or father-in-law can order a few generals from Hanzhong to come here to support, the problem of our army now is not that there are not enough soldiers, but that there is a lack of fierce generals who fight head-on!" There are a few of Yi under his command who can fight, but in the face of Cao Jun's fierce lineup, we still have to be careful! ”

Hearing this, Guan Yu nodded slowly: "Yi'er said this, I'm afraid that there is a candidate in my heart?" Who do you want? ”

Huo Yi saw that Guan Yu seemed to agree with his idea, and hurriedly said, "General Zilong! ”

Guan Yu nodded: "Well, Zilong has a master-apprentice friendship with you, and he is a candidate for bravery, who else?" ”

Huo Yi looked at Guan Yu: "General Xu Wenxiang!" General Zhang Gongyi! ”

Guan Yu said with a smile: "Haha, you kid, you are going to come to Zitong, who will guard Zitong?" Change one! ”

Huo Yi Hao Ran said: "Then it is okay to replace General Zhang Gongyi with Wei Wenyuan!" ”

Guan Yu nodded: "Wei Wenyuan is a fierce general, just these three generals, a certain person immediately sent a handwritten letter to Chengdu urgently." ”

Huo Yi said again: "Father-in-law, don't forget to ask for some grain and grass, this battle is bound to be a protracted war, although Jingzhou is rich, it can't withstand such consumption!" ”

Guan Yu nodded, and immediately picked up the pen and wrote in his hand.

The generals saw that Huo Yi actually said that Guan Yu was moved, and Zhao Lei and the others were very respectful to Huo Yi, you must know that when Huo Yi did not arrive in Jingzhou, there was only half of Guan Yu's advice, and this half was Guan Feng, whom Guan Yu had always loved.
