Diaoyutai Legend 101101 Goddess of Victory, Goddess of Peace (23)

'Carelessness in Jingzhou' is regarded as the biggest flaw of the martial saint Guan Yu. In fact, the Battle of Fan Xiang was the most extreme moment for the martial saint Guan Yu's martial arts to carry forward.

At this time, Liu Bei had a sense of accomplishment and success, walking between Bashan and Shushui, and his mood was naturally very pleasant. But Liu Bei didn't know that he was getting farther and farther away from the goddess of victory, and Liu Bei would never win again. After deviating from the national policy of "Longzhong Pair", Liu Bei's career is going downhill sharply from the peak. Liu Bei can't feel it himself now.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is written that Guan Yu led the Jingzhou Army on the Northern Expedition and first captured Xiangyang City, which is not in line with historical records. It's Luo Guanzhong's virtual.

Among the Xiangfan battles launched by Guan Yu, the most strange thing was the battle about Xiangyang.

Whether from the perspective of military strategy and tactics, Xiangyang is worthy of Guan Yu's first and must be the first and priority target.

From the map, it is clear that from Jingzhou to the north is Xiangyang, and then across the Han River, opposite the Han River is Fancheng. Therefore, if Guan Yu first captures Xiangyang, gains a firm foothold, and then attacks Fancheng on the other side of the Han River, he will not only be full of confidence, but also have no worries, even if Lü Meng later sneaks into Jingzhou, Guan Yu's army will stick to Xiangyang, which is much better than taking Maicheng. The situation is completely different.

Moreover, we can see from historical data that Xiangyang's military strength was very limited at that time, and it had little impact on the war between Guan Yu and Fancheng Caoren. The history books don't even bother to talk about it. On the one hand, it shows that there was almost no war in Xiangyang at that time, and on the other hand, it shows that the Cao army in Xiangyang's defense is very weak, and if Guan Yu wants to take Xiangyang, he can take it at any time.

However, Guan Yu did not take Xiangyang first, but launched a months-long war against Fancheng across Xiangyang.

Until Guan Yu's Jingzhou army retreated, Xiangyang was under the control of Cao's army.

From the point of view of military common sense, this is an incredible mistake.

We are now following the historical facts and presenting the Xiangyang battle in this war in front of our friends, just to let more friends have a deeper understanding of the martial arts and martial virtues of the martial saint Guan Yu.

Cao Cao's Xiangyang Taishou Lu Chang leaned over to inspect Guan Yu's powerful fleet on the Han River at the head of Xiangyang City, and his heart was heavy, but he said to Hu Xiu (Jingzhou Thorn History) and Fu Fang (Nanxiang Taishou) without revealing anything: "Lord Thorn Shi, Lord Taishou, you have all seen that our defenders of Xiangyang are completely insufficient to resist the attack of Guan Yu's Jingzhou army. What we rely on is nothing more than the strong city defense left by Liu Biao. ”

Hu Xiu nodded and said: "Alas, there are only this number of soldiers in total, the north city will rush to the north in an emergency, and the south city will run to the south in a crisis, and it will be elbowed." ”

Fu Fang shook his head and said: "There are many flaws, even if the city defense soldiers don't eat or sleep, they are tired to death, and they can't run. How can you defend the city? ”

Lu Chang said: "Lu Chang wants to go to Fancheng to ask General Cao Ren for help with reinforcements, and ask the two adults to protect the city hard. The matter is confidential and cannot be divulged. ”

Hu Xiu looked at the river and said, "Fancheng is clearly visible to the naked eye, just across the river. But Guan Yu's patrol boat is like shuttling, how to cross the river? ”

Lu Chang looked at him firmly and said, "Yes, how to cross the river?" How to cross the river one by one, Rong Lu often thought twice. But Jiang must be passed. ”

On a moonlit night, the water of the Han River flows quietly.

Guan Yu inspects the river on the flagship.

Maleonn was by his side.

Guan Yu pointed to a little fishing fire in the heart of the river and asked, "Ji Chang (Ma Liangzi), do you see the fishing fire in the river?" ”

Ma Liang looked at it and said, "Junhou, I also saw it." The boat had been alone for a long time. ”

Guan Yu asked, "Ji Chang, what does that little boat want to do?" ”

Ma Liang said: "Ji Chang estimates that it should be fishing." ”

Guan Yu smiled: "Fishing? Haha, the boat is guarding the channel in the middle of the river, you can advance or retreat, you can go straight to Fancheng, and you can go straight back to Xiangyang. It only takes a few moments to reach your destination. ”

Ma Liang also smiled: "The prince is not bad for military considerations. What can it do with just such a small boat? Why doesn't it go straight to Fancheng? ”

Guan Yu said with a smile: "According to Yu's opinion, the purpose of this boat is to go to Fancheng. The reason why it didn't go was because Guan was here, and Guan blocked his way. ”

Ma Liang also smiled and said: "Since he saw the flagship of the prince blocking the way, why didn't he retreat to Xiangyang?" ”

Guan Yu said with a smile: "This person knows that the way to the road is blocked by someone, but he is still waiting here, naturally there is something important, he has to go to Fancheng." Let's take a moment to see if there's something going on. ”

Ma Liang smiled: "Tong! Open! What should we do now? ”

Guan Yu ordered: "Raise the yellow light and order all departments to strengthen vigilance." The red light was raised, and the divisions entered a combat state. ”

The sergeant reported: "The fishing fire in the small boat in the middle of the river flickered, as if it was sending a signal. ”

Guan Yu smiled: "It's really good, the show has begun!" ”

The sergeant reported: "The lookout reports that there is a fleet of boats upstream and downstream. ”

Guan Yu ordered: "Raise three red lights: annihilate with all your might!" ”

Upstream of Guan Yu's flagship, Guan Ping led a fleet of ships on patrol.

The sergeant reported: "General Qiyu, the flagship raised the yellow light, ordered to strengthen the vigilance. ”

Guan Ping nodded and said, "Got it." The flotilla is yellow. ”

The flotilla raised yellow lights one after another.

Another sergeant reported: "General, the flagship raises the red light and gives the order to enter combat mode." ”

Guan Ping ordered: "The flotilla all raise the red light and enter the combat state." ”

The flotilla raised red lights one after another.

The officers and men of each ship were on deck, ready for battle.

The sergeant reported again: "General, the flagship raised three red lights, and ordered an immediate sortie to destroy the enemy with all its might." ”

Guan Ping ordered loudly: "Immediately pull out the anchor and set sail, search the river, find the enemy ship, and annihilate it immediately!" ”

The Sekihei fleet set sail majestically and headed upstream.

In the night, a small fleet of boats had no lights and quietly advanced towards Guanping Water Village.

Guan Ping's side praised Yi: "Such a small fleet sneaks up on the night, and the prince can actually see it." General, do you want to let this small fleet in, so that it can be completely surrounded and annihilated? ”

Guan Ping observed attentively, and Guan Ping said: "Annihilation is a must. But this small fleet has come at a strange time, and it must be taken seriously. The flotilla first kept a distance and did not attack, and our ship first approached the enemy's small flotilla alone, and all rockets were prepared. ”

The sergeant replied, "Yes!" Our ship engaged the enemy alone, and all rockets were prepared. ”

Sekihei's boat sailed towards a small fleet of unlit boats that were stealthily flowing down the river.

Guan Ping saw it clearly after approaching, and decisively ordered: "Sure enough, the person who came is not good!" It's a firewood boat. Shoot rockets one by one. ”

The officers and men on board Sekihei fired a burst of rockets at the head of the small fleet.

The rocket in the bow of the small flotilla ignited a raging fire with a "boom", and the officers and men on board jumped into the river one after another.

Guan Ping sneered and said, "You also want to attack with this little means?" ”

Guan Ping ordered: "Forward!" Set this fleet on firewood and grass on fire, and leave not a single one behind! ”

Sekihei continued to ascend, sending out bursts of rockets in order.

The firewood and straw boats of the small fleet were lit one after another, and the firelight illuminated the entire river.

The soldiers on the fireboat jumped into the river one after another.

Guan Ping ordered: "Start saving people now and treat the prisoners preferentially." ”

Guan Ping's fleet rescues people on the river.

An unmanned flotilla of burning fireships drifted down the river.

Guan Yu flagship.

Ma Liang looked at the fireboat and praised: "Every year in July, the water lantern is released, and this year the water lantern is different red." ”

Guan Yu pointed to the boat in the heart of the river and said with a smile: "Ji Chang (Ma Liangzi), now let's go visit the good man who put the lantern." ”

Guan Yu's flagship headed for the boat in the river.

The boat in the middle of the river did not escape and remained parked in the middle of the river. It was very clearly illuminated by the raging fire of the fireship.

Cao Cao's Xiangyang Taishou Lu often wore a bamboo hat on his head, a brown lily on his head, and a fishing rod in his hand, sitting on the bow of the boat to fish.

Lu Changwang shook his head in disappointment as he looked at the fireboat fleet that was going downstream, and then looked at Guan Yu's flagship that was approaching, so he had to calm down and continue fishing.

Lu Chang knew that his small boat was the flagship that couldn't outrun Guan Yu.

Obviously, Lu Chang's small boat was waiting on the channel in the middle of the river, and Lu Chang originally planned to use dozens of people to drive a small fleet full of firewood and grass to attack the water village of Guanping upstream at night, and the flames would soar into the sky, so that Guan Yu's flagship blocked in front of Fancheng would naturally sail upstream to observe. In this way, with only a moment's chance, Lu Chang was able to smoothly cross the blockade and enter Fancheng.

Now that Lu Chang knew that his plan had gone bankrupt, he could only rely on fooling around to see if he could get past the catastrophe in front of him.

In the glow of the burning fire, Guan Yu's flagship approached Lu Chang's small fishing boat.

Lu Chang was still concentrating on fishing.

Ma Liang, who was beside Guan Yu, looked at the angler on the small boat and read aloud: "Lonely boat, fishing for the autumn river moon alone." ”

Lu Chang knew that Guan Yu's flagship was already by his boat, and when he heard Ma Liang's meaningful chant, his heart tightened, but he was still concentrating on fishing.

Guan Yu watched Lu Chang fishing with great interest, and stretched out a finger to ask Ma Liang to silence.

Lu Chang was anxious at this time, how could he fish quietly?

Guan Yu reminded Lu Chang on the flagship: "Lu Tinghou (Lu Chang), calm down! Meditation! The big fish bites. ”

Lu Chang was taken aback, knowing that he had already been seen through by Guan Yu, so he simply caught this big fish seriously.

Lu Chang caught a big fish and said with a smile: "Haha, the big fish has finally taken the bait." ”

Guan Yu stretched out his thumb and praised: "General Pingdi (Lu Chang) is really not covered!" ”
