According to the account of Wang Fu, who had just been in charge of the intelligence gathering, Zhang Liao had already led a large army out of Wancheng a few days earlier.

In the past few days, in order to grasp the first-hand information of the enemy's movements, Wang Fu sent the few light cavalry in the army to detect the whereabouts of Zhang Liao's army.

Although limited to the backwardness of the means of transportation and communication in the world, the generals of the Han army outside Fancheng could not know the movements of Zhang Liao's army hundreds of miles away in real time.

But this also made the generals of the Han army quite clear about the recent movements of Zhang Liao's army.

Under Wang Fu's report, the generals of the Han army in the big tent learned that Zhang Liao led the army to leave the boundary of Wancheng, and to everyone's surprise, Zhang Liao did not lead the army to the south in a hurry.

On the contrary, Zhang Liao's army stopped and stopped along the way, as if he was leading tens of thousands of Wei troops out to go out.

Zhang Liao's behavior is very suspicious.

The reason why Cao Pi sent Zhang Liao to lead the Chinese army south was because of the defeat of the 20,000 Wei cavalry sent by Cao Pi before.

The 20,000 Wei cavalry were heavily damaged, which meant that there were no reinforcements outside Fancheng to help Cao Xiu for the time being.

In this case, it was only a matter of time before the Wei army in Fancheng collapsed.

Cao Pi was worried that Fancheng would be taken by Guan Yu due to the collapse of the army, so he decisively sent Zhang Liao as a general and led tens of thousands of reinforcements south to support Cao Xiu.

If the current situation is to be compared, the situation that Cao Xiu is facing today is very similar to that of Cao Ren last year.

Guan Yu's defeat of 20,000 Wei army iron cavalry with the Qiyue Array was like the flooding of the Seventh Army last year, and he collapsed the first support army sent from the north to support Fancheng.

After Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army last year, Fancheng's city defense was destroyed by the flood in many places, but the basic defense measures of Fancheng still existed.

At least at that time, the city defense of Fancheng was not to the point of vulnerability.

Therefore, Guan Yu had no way to break through Fancheng for a while after flooding the Seventh Army, so he could only lead the army to besiege Fancheng first.

After being besieged by Guan Yu's army, the biggest danger Cao Ren faced was not the damage to the city defenses, but the morale of the Wei army defending the city in Fancheng began to decline violently after witnessing the flooding of the forbidden Seventh Army.

At that time, the morale of the Wei army was so low that many generals persuaded Cao Ren to give up Fancheng and break out, if it weren't for the full favor of slashing the White Horse Alliance to boost morale, Fancheng could have been taken by Guan Yu after flooding the Seventh Army.

And what did Xu Huang, who was the second support army sent by Cao Cao at that time, do?

Even though most of his subordinates were recruits, Xu Huang chose to go south quickly and drove straight in, and finally stabilized Fancheng's military spirit to a certain extent.

As the saying goes, don't forget the past, and the teacher of the future.

It is impossible for Cao Pi and Zhang Liao not to know such lessons and experiences.

So as Zhang Liao, another Wuziliang general who is as famous as Xu Huang, his current behavior is very strange.

Because judging from his performance, he didn't seem to care about Fancheng's life and death at all, not only did he not rush to march south, but he was deliberately delaying the speed of the march.

This surprised the generals of the Han army, who did not know what medicine was sold in Zhang Liao's gourd.

But the generals of the Han army didn't know, but Guan Yu saw what Zhang Liao's plan was after thinking about it.

Guan Yu stood up and turned his back to the Han general in the big tent, and when he came to the map hanging in front of him, his eyes kept wandering on the map from Wancheng to Fancheng.

Nanyang has a vast area, so although most of the areas in Nanyang County are plains, there are also many valleys and mountains and forests.

Wancheng is almost in the northernmost part of Nanyang, and Fancheng is located in the southernmost part of Nanyang.

Therefore, Zhang Liao's army went all the way south, and it had to go through a long distance.

In the middle of this long journey, of course, there are many valleys, mountains and forests, and these are the best places for ambush.

As a general of the army for many years, Guan Yu's sensitivity to key military situations has already reached the point of perfection.

Guan Yu untied the saber at his waist, and he raised the long sword in his hand and pointed at the location of Wancheng in the map.

And then

According to the marching information about Zhang Liao's army that he had received in the past few days, he slid the tip of his sword all the way down Wancheng on the map, roughly outlining the marching route of Zhang Liao's army with no deep traces.

And when Guan Yu copied the seemingly chaotic marching route of Zhang Liao's army on the map one by one in the past few days, some keen Han generals in the big tent seemed to notice something.

For example, Mi Yang.

Mi Yang looked at the route map of the Wei army's march outlined by Guan Yu on the map, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Guan Yu, who had finished outlining the marching route of Zhang Liao's army, saw Mi Yang's reaction, and a smile began to appear on his face.

In fact, according to Guan Yu's style of deliberations in the past, he would not have made such a move today with a vigorous and resolute temperament.

Often when facing the enemy, it is usually Guan Yu who analyzes something, and he directly orders the task to be arranged.

Even if the generals didn't understand Guan Yu's intentions at first, Guan Yu never explained.

Rather than wasting time explaining to the generals, Guan Yu prefers to spend his time thinking about strategies to defeat the enemy.

But now it is different, Guan Yu's move today obviously means that he will not only be a coach today, but also an "instructor".

Under his own actions, Guan Yu found that Mi Yang was the first to react among the generals present.

Not long after, generals such as Fu Wei and Liao Hua also had some thoughts on their faces.

After perceiving this scene, Guan Yu was satisfied, and at the same time, he began to speak to the generals present: "The man who is terrestrial is also the help of the soldiers. Those who do not know the battlefield and seek victory are not available.

"Zhang Liao, I have a deep personal relationship, and I know that he is a wise general. He must know the truth."

"The road from Wancheng to Fan is long, and there are many people who are easy to ambush in the terrain."

"The reason why Zhang Liao led the army to march slowly was not because he didn't know the urgency of Fancheng, but because he knew what he thought."

"Although the defeat of the 20,000 thief army and the iron cavalry will make the Fancheng army unstable, but the defense of Fancheng is not destroyed, and the city is strong, so there will be no danger of overturning for at least a month."

"Zhang Liaoding guessed that I had the intention of encircling the point to send reinforcements, so he marched like this."

"Although its march is slow, it always avoids dangerous places, and although the march is slow, it can not cause its own army to become a labor army, so it is not feasible for me to besiege the city and send reinforcements."

When Guan Yu said this, the faces of the generals of the Han army in the big tent appeared one after another.

As Guan Yu said, Zhang Liao is a person who knows the art of war, so it is not surprising that he guessed that Guan Yu wanted to besiege the city and send reinforcements.

Siege reinforcements are a general term for a tactic, and in most cases two elements are required to complete this tactic perfectly.

One waits for work, and the other sets up ambushes.

Because generally speaking, the side that sends troops to rescue is eager to march because of the eagerness to rescue.

In this case, the army of the side that rescues will definitely be the labor army.

And because of the eagerness to rescue, the general who often leads the rescue will enter some terrain that is not favorable to his side.

This will give the side who wants to besiege the city and send reinforcements a favorable opportunity to defeat them.

But now Zhang Liao is doing the opposite, and he leads the army to the south slowly, undoubtedly to prevent his own army from becoming a labor army.

His slow pace of march gave him plenty of time to avoid the dangers on the road.

If there are some dangerous places that cannot be avoided, he also has plenty of time to explore those dangerous places.

Under Zhang Liao's approach, the advantage of the side that wants to send reinforcements will be gone.

And if the advantage is gone, it will naturally eliminate the possibility of the implementation of the combat method of besieging the city and sending reinforcements.

It's worthy of Zhang Liao.

Not only can he accurately judge the tactics that Guan Yu wants to take, but he can also quickly make countermeasures.

It can only be said that the five good generals who are completely on the throne with real swords and guns are really not to be underestimated.

After listening to Guan Yu's analysis, the faces of the generals in the big tent all showed a look of sorrow.

Guan Yu had previously revealed the idea of adopting the tactic of encircling the point to send reinforcements, but now under Zhang Liao's countermeasures, this tactic seems to be no longer applicable to the current battle situation.

And if this tactic is not adopted, how should the Han army face the tens of thousands of enemy troops led by Zhang Liao next?

With this thought in mind, the generals in the big tent subconsciously looked at Guan Yu, who was standing upright.

At this time, after Guan Yu explained Zhang Liao's purpose to the generals, he turned around again and looked intently at the map hanging high behind him.

After seeing this scene, the generals of the Great Tent all looked at Ma Liang again.

Ma Liang saw that Guan Yu was already immersed in his own world, so he commanded the generals in the tent to retreat outside the tent.

Many of the Han generals in the big tent are Guan Yu's old subordinates, and after getting along for a long time, they know some of Guan Yu's habits.

For example, when Guan Yu stared at the map and was silent, it was when he was pondering, and Guan Yu didn't like anyone to disturb him at this time.

Therefore, under the command of Ma Liang, the generals in the tent immediately left the big tent one after another.

In the end, only Guan Yu and Mi Yang were left in the big tent.

When Ma Liang asked the generals to retreat just now, he didn't ask Mi Yang to let him leave, and Mi Yang also knew the reason why Ma Liang let him stay alone.

So after all the generals left, Mi Yang sat in his place and waited for Guan Yu to come back from his contemplation.

When Mi Yang watched Guan Yu standing alone in front of Yutu, a contemplative look on his face was constantly emerging, the worry in Mi Yang's heart became stronger and stronger.

After a long time, Guan Yu, who seemed to have thought of a certain key point, came back from his contemplation, and then he saw that the big tent was empty.

Guan Yu was used to this in the past.

But what is different from the past is that there is still one person left in the big tent today.

Seeing that Guan Yu had come back to his senses from his contemplation, Mi Yang hurriedly bowed to Guan Yu and said to Guan Yu, "How is the woman feeling lately?"

During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, a son-in-law called his wife and father by a variety of titles, either as uncle or as a woman.

Hearing Mi Yang call himself a woman instead of a general, a few traces of warmth flashed in Guan Yu's eyes.

This shows that Mi Yang is now greeting him as a son-in-law.

Although Guan Yu is very majestic in front of ordinary people, now only Mi Yang is left in the big tent, and Mi Yang is his son-in-law, so Guan Yu's expression at this time seems to be a little relaxed.

Guan Yu sat down beside Mi Yang, and then responded to Mi Yang pretending not to care, "It's okay, I can still hunt tigers now."

Hearing Guan Yu's response, Mi Yang knew that Guan Yu should have hidden something from him.

After everyone left, there was no cover from everyone's body odor, and at this time, Mi Yang, who was sitting next to Guan Yu, could smell the smell of medicine on the tip of his nose.

Under the support of this evidence, Guan Yu's words were not enough to dispel Mi Yang's doubts.

Mi Yang bowed to Guan Yu again, this time there was a lot more heaviness in his tone.

"Has the woman's head disease ever improved?"

Hearing Mi Yang's question, Guan Yu's face instantly darkened.

If Mi Yang's first sentence was a very normal son-in-law's greeting to his father-in-law, then Mi Yang's direct words made Guan Yu understand that Mi Yang must know something.

Because he was afraid that his head disease would affect the morale of the army, not many people knew about this matter, except for him and Fan A, only Ma Liang could see some clues.

The black-faced Guan Yu was still very majestic, he looked at Mi Yang with a pair of tiger eyes and asked, "Did Ji Chang tell you about this?"

Guan Yu's words already carried some reproach.

But Mi Yang knew that if he wanted to really understand Guan Yu's condition at this time, then he couldn't show that he was backing down.

Fortunately, the current Mi Yang is not what it used to be, and he has already seen a lot of big battles, so he can still withstand Guan Yu's coercion.

"Jingzhou Thorn Shi is worried about the woman's body and the future of Jingzhou.

」

When Mi Yang's words came out, Guan Yu couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "Ji Chang's temperament is really more and more like Kong Ming, he is too cautious, and I have to tell you about such trivial things.

I've only felt a little chilly since the beginning of winter, so I don't need to worry about it."

Although Guan Yu's words were ostensibly blaming Ma Liang, he was actually soothing Mi Yang's heart by blaming Ma Liang.

After all, Ma Liang is the assassin of Jingzhou and his old subordinate, so it is right for him to pay attention to his illness in public and private.

Even because Ma Liang believed Guan Yu's previous words, he just reported this matter to Mi Yang first, thinking of using the relationship between Mi Yang and Guan Yu to find out.

Otherwise, Ma Liang, who is the assassin of Jingzhou, has the right to play directly to Liu Bei.

But Miyang is not so good.

Occasionally, if you feel cold, you will keep drinking medicine until you drink it and leave a smell of medicine on your body?

If the wind chill is severe to this extent, it is also a very serious disease in the world.

After caressing Mi Yang, Guan Yu wanted to change the topic, but caring about Guan Yu's Mi Yang, how could it be so easy for Guan Yu to get his wish.

Mi Yang took the initiative to speak his judgment to Guan Yu, and finally he bowed to Guan Yu again:

"Yu Gongwen is a general of the national dynasty and has a heavy responsibility."

"Yu is a private wife and a father to Yang, and she is also the old master, and she has great kindness to Yang.

Yang can't help but study the woman's physical condition."

"Please also ask the woman to take care of Yang's filial piety and tell Yang the truth."

After finishing speaking, Mi Yang looked at Guan Yu with a worried expression.

Most of the greetings from the younger generations of the world to the elders are courtesy.

But today's Mi Yang's greeting to Guan Yu is a posture of asking for the end.

Faced with Mi Yang's stubborn move, Guan Yu already had anger on his face.

Since he took charge of Jingzhou, no one has dared to disobey him three times or twice.

But Guan Yu's anger came and went quickly.

The person in front of him is his most important junior and his favorite son-in-law.

The son-in-law asks the woman if she is in good health, what is wrong?
