Cao ** is indeed dying, at this moment Cao ** is already sick in Wancheng, his head wind disease is getting more and more serious, especially after the defeat of the Cao army in the first battle of Hanzhong, and Xu Huang died in the battle.

The doctors have tried their best, but they can't cure it, they can only alleviate it. Cao ** also doesn't know how many doctors he has killed for this reason.

Wancheng, at this moment, except for the people and horses of Kai Lejin who are still north of Luoshui and are preparing to wade in, all the armies have already gathered here, and even Li Dian and Xiahou Yuan's men and horses are already on the way to Xiangfan.

As soon as Huo Yi's men and horses came out of Dangyang, someone had already come to pick them up, and the person who came was not someone else, it was Guan Ping. Guan Ping led more than a thousand cavalry and waited for a long time again.

"Shaoxian! I've been waiting for a long time! Guan Ping clasped his fists and saluted.

Huo Yi hurriedly got off the horse and saluted Guan Ping: "When the army travels, there are too many things to manage, and the foot soldiers are already moving slowly, Yi Yi has already let the cavalry and the navy go first, how about it, how is the battle situation in Xiangfan?" ”

Guan Ping smiled: "Shao Xian, get on the horse, let's talk while walking!" ”

Huo Yi would not shirk himself, got on the horse and followed Guan Ping to the Jingzhou military camp in Fancheng.

"Shaoxian's army horses came in a very timely manner, and the cavalry thwarted the tiger and leopard cavalry as soon as they arrived, which greatly boosted the morale of our army! You are a terrible general, the tigers and leopards are all Jing Rui, and the leader is the fierce general Chang Leopard on Cao Zhang's side, who was killed by your general Li He, not to mention, the three thousand tigers and leopards rode more than 2,000. But I don't know, where did you get all these people? All of them are amazing! I also heard that you have a man named Deng Ai Deng Shizai, who is fighting against Lu Xun, the general of Eastern Wu, in Guiyang? Guan Ping looked at Huo Yi and asked with interest.

Huo Yi was shocked in his heart, yes, he didn't think it was strange, but others were going to be strange, there were more and more cattle under Huo Yi's hands, and most of these people's backgrounds were selected by Huo Yiba, but they were all sharp when used, which couldn't help but make people marvel.

Huo Yi smiled: "Li He is the low-level soldier in my army who has accumulated military merits here, and there are many such figures in our army, such as Ye Youming, Shentu Haoqiang, Han Gongjun (Han Ping), etc. ”

Guan Ping said sourly: "I heard that Gan Ning Gan Xingba, the fierce general of the Jiangdong Army, also surrendered to you?" ”

Huo Yi nodded slowly.

Guan Ping said helplessly: "I don't know what magic power you have, you can recruit such a person to serve you, this is also a kind of ability!" ”

Huo Yi smiled without a trace: "It's all for the great cause of the lord, how dare you say that it is to serve me?" ”

Guan Ping shook his head helplessly, but Huo Shaoxian was too cautious: "As soon as Gan Xingba arrived in Xiangyang, he disintegrated Zhang He's offensive and made a catastrophe in Xiangyang come to naught. Shaoxian, even my father is envious of the many generals under your command, who are much stronger than our army. ”

Huo Yi's heart was stagnant, but he smiled and said: "The Jingzhou army has a righteous father, which is enough to deter the heroes." ”

Guan Ping smiled and only scolded Huo Yi for slipping his head.

The two chatted all the way, but it was already nearly noon, and the Fancheng camp was still in sight.

Huo Yi and the others accelerated the march and urged the soldiers to advance.

When he arrived in the south of Fancheng, Guan Yu's designated place, Huo Yi asked the troops to go down to the village, and let people go to guide the rear soldiers and horses who were still on the road, and he led Guan Xing and hundreds of personal guards, and went straight to Guan Yu's camp.

Before arriving at Guan Yu's camp, although Huo Yi said that his identity was already transcendent at this time, and he had already had the qualifications to gallop in the camp, he only got off the horse at this moment, and came to Guan Yu's camp on foot with Guan Xing.

Guan Yu was already waiting for Huo Yi outside the camp, and led Huo Yi into the military tent. They are deliberating how to deal with Cao's southward movement.

Guan Yu gave a general introduction to some of Cao's current deployments, but said that Zhang He and Cao Zhang's two departments were camping thirty miles northwest of Xiangyang City. In the upper reaches of Xiangshui, there are more than 20,000 newly hired sailors, which has already posed a great threat to Xiangyang.

Xiangyang's military horses at the moment are only more than 25,000, which is still the number of people after Ganning's more than 10,000 sailors.

And Li Dian and Xiahou Yuan are maneuvering to Xiangyang, Xiahou Yuan is also showing signs of moving south, Lejin has crossed Luoshui, and can reach Wancheng without ri, when Cao Jun's military horses are in the Xiangfan area, it will reach a terrible 110,000 people and horses, it can not be said that it is not noisy, although it is less than 200,000 people in the Battle of Chibi, but it is very rare, because after the Battle of Chibi, Cao's army has been extremely poor in military horses in various places in the north, and it is extremely rare to be able to mobilize more than 100,000 military horses at this moment.

Huo Yi looked at the topographic map, and then looked at the sad faces of the generals in the tent, and said slowly: "Father-in-law, the military horses I brought out from Jingnan are enough to match the Cao army!" More than 15,000 sailors and more than 7,000 cavalry have already arrived here, and the second general has brought a foot soldier Wang Chong from Jingnan, Gao Jin, plus the army and horses of the general's headquarters, there are also nearly 50,000 foot soldiers, but they are not afraid to carry it head-on. ”

The generals of the Jingzhou army in the tent were all shocked when they heard the words, and the number of our army was not less than that of the enemy, but what were they afraid of?

Guan Yu nodded: "Well, in this way, our army does have the strength to fight, but, Shaoxian, you see, how should our army mobilize military horses to engage the enemy?" ”

Huo Yi bowed his head and said: "The last general is the governor of Jingnan, and the father-in-law is the governor of Jingzhou. ”

Guan Yu's eyebrows lit up, this kid is still reliable, and he doesn't put himself in his eyes if he doesn't have the ability.

Guan Yu said: "Okay! Slowly walked to the front of the Xiangfan battlefield map, pointed to a point on the map that represented Fancheng, and said coldly: "The enemy general Cao Ren is shrinking in this city, and my family has captured Xiangyang, at the moment, our army must be in the enemy army has not yet fully assembled, force to break through Fancheng, otherwise leaving this city behind, will become a constraint on our army, only by capturing Fancheng, my family can let go and fight with the enemy!" ”

Huo Yi also nodded, and all the generals in the tent thought so.

Guan Yu pointed to Xiangyang again: "Compared with the number of enemy troops, our army's garrison here is slightly blank, and we can add a group of men and horses to defend here, and in principle, it will not take so many people to attack Fancheng." Shaoxian, you look at sending a group of men and horses to Xiangyang, led by a capable general, before my family captures Fancheng, you must not make Cao's army take a step forward! ”

Huo Yi nodded: "Deng Shizai under the command of the last general, there is a very good way to defend the city, Xing Ge is calm, and he can receive this life!" ”

Guan Yu nodded, and said slowly: "Fancheng has already been transformed by Cao Ren and has become a fortress of war, and the attack is extremely difficult, but the defending side can easily achieve the defensive purpose with a small number of troops, and the primary goal of our army is how to break it?" ”

The generals worked together, thinking about how to break through the city of Fancheng.

Huo Yi said slowly: "When the last general's scouts passed through this city, someone had an extremely detailed survey of this city, maybe a closer look at what my battalion scouts said, it may be rewarding!" ”

Guan Yu nodded: "It's so good, but it's much better than me waiting here to catch the blind." ”

In Fancheng, Cao Ren once again repelled the attack of the Jingzhou army, and the losses of the city soldiers became more and more serious.

Cao Ren's eyes were bloodshot, yesterday, the Jingzhou army under the city had changed their uniforms, and the main attack team changed from the Jingzhou soldiers in the Hulan sè battle armor to a group of red armor sergeants.

Cao Ren seemed to have guessed something, and what made him even more horrified was that the methods of these soldiers in red armor were extremely old-fashioned, and many of them were aimed at those special facilities in the city.

Cao Ren felt worse and worse, and he knew intuitively that the siege outside the city was very likely to make Huo Shaoxian, who had recently become famous in Liu Bei's forces, really difficult to deal with, no wonder Gongming and Junyi were defeated in his hands, and Gongming was beheaded and Junyi was seriously injured.

Man Zhong was already worried at the moment: "General, the secret report sent by General Ziwen, perhaps, it is really time for our army to leave." Trapped in this place will inevitably become the target of the Jingzhou army, and before the decisive battle with our army, they are determined to break through our city. Otherwise, Fancheng will inevitably be on his back, hindering his army from fighting a decisive battle with our army! ”

Cao Ren said slowly: "I know. ”

"That ......"

Cao Ren said slowly: "I can't go!" gone, and our army's chances of victory will be reduced by one point. (To be continued.) )
