396 Quicksand River

Boss Wang Baoyu is not satisfied, I have never seen such a call, or in vain! When Lao Tzu was in modern times, he responded to every call, where did he have this strength?

But then again, people were under the eaves and had to bow their heads, so Wang Baoyu could only helplessly call Fan Jinqiang and follow the army on the road again.

In this expedition to Changsha, Liu Bei not only sent Guan Yu, a super-first-class general, 5,000 elite infantry, but later added 2,000 sailors, which was far larger than before, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter.

Along the way, Wang Baoyu talked to Ma Liang and learned that among the four southern counties, Changsha County was the most difficult to take. Changsha is not only an ancient city with a long history, but the scale of the city is more than twice as large as that of Wuling.

Not only that, Changsha is too guarded by Han Xuan, diligent and loves the people, won the hearts of the people, the people are rich, the soldiers are strong, and there are two first-class generals under his account, namely Huang Zhong and Wei Yan.

Wang Baoyu had read about these two people in the book, and remembered deeply, the veteran Huang Zhong later became one of Liu Bei's five tiger generals, and Wei Yan was extraordinary in martial arts, brave and good at fighting, and always held the position of a pioneer, and repeatedly made military exploits. It is said that Wei Yan has a backbone in the back of his head, Zhuge Liang has always been on guard against him, and after his death, he left a suicide note and arranged for Ma Dai to kill Wei Yan, so there is an allusion to "Wei Yan is anti, Ma Dai is beheaded".

From this point of view, the battle of Changsha must be very difficult to fight, and Wang Baoyu is extremely careful. Guan Yu didn't think so, in his opinion, whether it was Huang Zhong or Wei Yan, it was not worth mentioning at all.

The army advanced by land and water, and after half a month, it finally approached Changsha City, and the infantry arrived relatively early and had already set up camp. The navy detoured to the Xiangjiang River, came a few days late, and stayed at the Liusha River in the south of Changsha City.

Although the Liusha River is not as wide as the Han River, it is turbulent and turbid, and has become a natural barrier for Changsha City. Moreover, Changsha County still has 2,000 naval troops and dozens of warships, which are on the other side of the Liusha River, and if you want to attack Changsha in an all-out way, you must first break through the blockade of the naval army.

According to the rules of wartime, Guan Yu sent someone to send a letter of surrender first, and the result can be imagined, although Han Xuan, who was too guarded, did not kill the envoy, but replied with righteous words, for the sake of the people of Changsha, he resolutely refused to surrender, and he would definitely fight Guan Yu to the end.

"If you don't know how to lift up, then don't blame Guan for being ruthless." Guan Yu snorted coldly.

"General Guan, it is said that on the day of the full moon, the flow of the quicksand river will be stable, but at that time, you can attack Changsha at night." Ma Liangjian said.

"Back then, Cai Mao had 50,000 sailors, Guan was not afraid, not to mention that he had only 2,000 people, wait for me to check the military situation first, immediately attack Changsha, and capture Han Xuan alive." Guan Yu said arrogantly.

"Hehe, don't I know that the general is brave. Attacking on the day of the full moon can reduce the casualties of the soldiers. Ma Liang said tactfully.

"Are there any soldiers I bring who are greedy for life and afraid of death? The waters of this quicksand river are wide, and there is no wind and three feet of Lang head, in my opinion, when to attack, there is not much difference! ”

If you want to say that Guan Yu is a good person, it is too arrogant, the corners of Ma Liang's mouth twitched, and in a responsible attitude, he said sincerely: "I am prepared, not bad for a few days, and I hope the general will wait patiently." ”

Guan Yu glanced at Ma Liang unhappily, and thought, you have only been reporting for a few days, and you dare to talk to me? General Ben has fought more battles than you have ever eaten salt!

Guan Yu sank his face and asked in a cold voice, "What if the water flow is still the same as today on the day of the full moon?" ”

This one? Ma Liang's face was embarrassed for a while, he didn't speak again, and retreated.

Guan Yu turned to Wang Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, you can follow me to check the situation of the other party's navy." ”

"Where are you going?" Wang Baoyu asked puzzled.

"Haha, let's go by boat." Guan Yu laughed, beckoned Wang Baoyu out of the big tent together, and took Zhou Cang, the deputy general who looked like a dwarf winter melon, and the three of them came to the riverside together, with a small boat on it, and two boatmen waiting on the side.

Wang Baoyu looked around, and before he could find the figure of his good brother Fan Jinqiang, he was pushed onto the boat by Guan Yu, "Second brother, just the three of us?" ”

"The boat is lightweight, which is good for round-tripping."

"You can't go wrong with an extra bodyguard, right?"

"Haha, isn't the fourth brother afraid?" Guan Yu said excitedly.

"Well, it's a little uneasy." Wang Baoyu didn't do it, tell the truth.

"At the beginning, the fourth brother and the military advisor broke into the Cao army camp alone, and they were not afraid in the face of millions of Cao soldiers, why were they afraid this time?" Guan Yu said with a smile.

"At that time, there was a heavy fog, but now it is broad daylight, and if it is discovered by the other party, it will be a provocation, and it is too dangerous." Wang Baoyu said worriedly.

"It's okay, it's a small boat, the other party may not care, I'll go back when I investigate." Guan Yu didn't care about the road.

I hope that God will bless you and nothing serious will happen, Wang Baoyu prayed secretly. Driven by two experienced boatmen, the boat crossed the rapids and headed straight for the camp of the sailors on the opposite bank.

Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, his long hair fluttering, and he stood proudly at the bow of the boat, full of heroism. Wang Baoyu stood aside cautiously, cautious and careful, the boat was very bumpy, he was really afraid that he would accidentally fall into the quicksand river.

The newly made telescope was given to Cao Chong, and this time he was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to make another one, so he could only use his naked eyes to check the surrounding situation. In less than half an hour, Wang Baoyu faintly saw some warships, parked in an orderly manner, and the warships were well maintained, all of them were very new.

Guan Yu frowned slightly, obviously he also felt that the other party's navy was well-trained, and he didn't dare to guarantee that he could win it in one fell swoop, so he had to use strategy.

At this moment, Wang Baoyu's eyelids suddenly jumped wildly, and he felt a sense of foreboding, he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Guan Yu: "Second brother, I think something is wrong, let's go back quickly!" ”

"Don't be afraid, get closer to see carefully." Guan Yu didn't listen to Wang Baoyu, and still urged the boat to move forward.

"What should we do if the other side attacks?" Wang Baoyu said.

"The boat on the water is not ours, and the other party may not care." Guan Yu stubbornly waved his hand.

"Second brother!"

"Since you have come here, if you can't find out the enemy's situation, you might as well stay in the tent and drink." Guan Yu insisted.

Alas, I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have followed this time, I should have pretended to be sick at home, Wang Baoyu regretted it. The boat continued to travel for another mile, and the flags of the opposing ships and the figures of the soldiers were all shadowed, and they could be roughly distinguished.

"Second brother, let's go back." Wang Baoyu couldn't help but worry, Guan Yuqi was very prominent, and his red skin was very eye-catching, although no one could recognize him, but from the perspective of bearing, no matter how you look at it, he is not an ordinary person.

Anyway, Guan Yu didn't insist this time, nodded, and beckoned the boatman to row back. Suddenly, a rumbling drum sounded.
