Cao Hong was very hesitant, saying that the person who could come up with this kind of strategy was still Zhang Fei in his own cognition?!

But Cao Xiu said that when Zhang Fei beat Zhang He violently at Wakou Pass, didn't he lead Zhang He into the narrow mountain road, so that Zhang He couldn't care about each other? !

Zhang He is a well-known general who understands the geographical advantages and knows the opportunity, he fell for Zhang Fei's time, and was beaten by Zhang Fei at Wakou Pass, and finally could only take a dozen people to climb the mountain and escape.

Such a Zhang Fei, thinking of smuggling from the trail to Chencang and cutting off his own grain route, what is impossible? !

Cao Hong listened. That's right, too.

The battle at Zhang Hewakou almost lost all the prestige accumulated in half his life, and he couldn't repeat the mistakes of the past.

And Cao Zhen also hurriedly persuaded us, let's lead the troops over, the purpose is not to let Zhang Fei break through Chen Cangdao and enter the pass, it doesn't matter if you can defeat Zhang Feijun, the important thing is not to let Zhang Fei run out.

Once Zhang Fei really thinks of attacking Chencang Dao, our strategic purpose will fail, and the grain road will be cut off, and sooner or later we will starve to death in this mountain, so whether Zhang Fei thinks of it or not, we can't help but guard against it.

Cao Hong listened. Reasonable.

But.

Cao Xiu saw that his uncle was still hesitant, so he proposed that he could try to attack Zhang Fei's camp tomorrow.

If Zhang Fei held on to the camp, it means that Zhang Fei did not go to Chencang Road, and the defenders in Xiabiancheng were indeed insufficient, so he directly broke Xiabiancheng and cut off the return route of Zhang Fei and others.

But if Zhang Fei doesn't stick to the camp, or if the camp is simply an empty village, it means that Zhang Fei has already led the army to Chencang Road, and we must return to defend in time.

Cao Hong finally decided to act according to Cao Xiu's suggestion.

And then bar. Cao Hong was happy to receive a battalion from Zhang Feikong, with countless flags.

Cao Hong also panicked at this time, for fear that Zhang Fei would really attack Chen Cangdao, so he hurriedly let Cao Zhen break off, and he and Cao Xiu led the troops back to the army, and ran to save Chen Cang in a hurry.

And when Cao Hong's army returned to Chencang, Chen Cang looked confused. Is this a defeat on the front line?!

When Cao Hong returned to Chencang, he realized that there were no Shu soldiers attacking at all during this time, and there were no Shu soldiers even on the mountain roads on both sides.

Then, Cao Hong received a battle report from Cao Zhen, saying that less than ten days after Cao Hong retreated, Zhang Fei joined Wu Lan, Ma Chao, and the 7,000 Di cavalry brought by Ma Chao and marched into Hechi.

Cao Hong immediately understood that he had been fooled.

The angry Cao Hong scolded Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen for a bloody look, I just said that Zhang Fei didn't have that brain, you didn't have to say that he would come to sneak attack, now it's okay, the army has been assembled, and the river pool has been lost, now you don't have to think about it, you can only stick to Chen Cang.

Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen were ashamed to find a hole to get into, thinking that the other party was a resourceful general, but they didn't expect that they were completely reckless.

But there is one point, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen can't understand why Zhang Fei sent soldiers to the mountain trail and set up an empty camp at the same time. The more they thought about it, the more uneasy they became.

Could it be that Zhang Fei even calculated the reaction of the two of himself, but if so, why didn't he directly send someone to attack Chen Cangdao?!

This problem, in fact, Pang Tong also felt very pity.

After receiving Zhang Fei's battle report, Liu Bei was very satisfied, his third brother has finally grown up over the years and has become a good commander.

In the past two years, he beat Zhang He violently, and he has already shown Zhang Fei's talent in using tactics, and this time he deceived Cao Hong, won the time for the army to converge, and deceived Cao Hong to the point that he could only retreat to Chen Cangdao, which is already a pretty good result.

Liu Bei was very satisfied, but Pang Tong still felt a little dissatisfied In Pang Tong's opinion, Zhang Fei should not care whether the city can be defended, and should directly attack Chen Cangdao.

As long as Chen Cangdao is captured, then Zhang Fei will advance and retreat freely, and he can cut off Xiahou Yuan's back road at any time.

As for Cao Hong's 10,000 army, the grain and grass were cut off, and in the mountains at the junction of Hanzhong and Wudu, the march that could only last for a month was held up, and then it would collapse, and it would not even be able to threaten the flank of Liu Bei's army, let alone defeat the Jiameng Pass and enter Shu, what threat could there be.

If Cao Hong is smart enough, he will only choose to seek supplies from the territory of the Seven Divisions of the Di people with war, and then retreat to Longyou, which is a glimmer of life.

And as long as Cao Hong does this, then the Qibu of the Diren will completely turn against Cao Wei and completely stand on Liu Bei's side.

So, Pang Tong felt that it was a pity, why didn't Zhang Fei think of really attacking Chen Cangdao.

Pang Tong was a pity for a while, but when the news reached Jingzhou, Zhang Xi was already dumbfounded.

That's a bit too much.

When the news of the Battle of Hanzhong reached Jingzhou, it was already the spring of the twenty-second year of Jian'an.

Zhang Xi was busy arranging the spring ploughing of Nanjun at that time, and received a notice from Guan Yu and went to Guan Yu's mansion to discuss matters.

Then Zhang Xi learned that Zhang Fei used a plan to repel Cao Hong, occupy Hechi, and besiege Chen Cang.

But Zhang Xi remembered that in the battle of Xia Zhi, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao should have been defeated by Cao Xiu who saw through the strategy, and finally retreated to a stalemate in front of Jiameng Pass.

Some people say that the battle of Xia Zhi suddenly knocked Zhang Fei and Ma Chao back to the prototype. This statement really can't be said to be wrong, after all, even the Cao family's junior generation has never been beaten, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.

Cao Hong?!

Well, don't really mention Cao Hong, Cao Hong's military level and ability can't even compare to half of Cao Ren's, he only has a loyal heart, and the matter of the Savior twice can be mentioned, leading troops to fight is really not his strong point, how to collect money and pick the door.

But now, Zhang Fei actually used a trick to force Cao Hong back, and even Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen were fooled, and the gold content is a bit high.

Looking at the details again, Zhang Xi found that the situation Zhang Fei faced at that time was the same as the situation in history, that the forces could not converge in time, but Zhang Fei chose a completely different way to deal with it than in history.

In history, Zhang Fei spread rumors with great fanfare that he wanted to cut off the grain road, and now, although Zhang Fei is also a rumor, but this rumor is obviously much higher, and even Guan Yu praised it again and again, saying that even if he does not return to the army, he will send people back to investigate, and he does not dare to attack Yunyun rashly.

Hawkers, it is not ruled out that Guan Yu is helping his third brother brag, but. Zhang Xi felt that even if he stood in Cao Hong's point of view, there was a high probability that he would be suspicious, after all, the section of the road from Hanzhong to Wudu was surrounded by mountains, and it was difficult to march, if the grain road was broken again, it would really be impossible to fight.

I have to admit that the current performance of the three generals can really be called a generation of famous generals. If there is a Three Kingdoms game in the future, it shouldn't be set for him to only have an intelligence of about forty, right?!

Hawkers, Guan Yu summoned Zhang Xi and others, not to discuss the intelligence of his third brother, but to gather everyone over to discuss the process of the battle of Hanzhong and when to attack Xiangfan.

In the current battle of Hanzhong, the situation is very favorable to Liu Bei.

In terms of partial divisions, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and others besieged Chencang Dao, and Cao Hong and others had to defend with all their might to prevent Zhang Feima Chao and others from capturing Chencang and entering Guanzhong, and they were powerless to rescue Xiahou Yuan.

In terms of the main force, Liu Bei has also led his troops to Yangping Pass, and is confronting Xiahou Yuan, and the troops are superior.

In this case, Guan Yu didn't believe that Cao Cao in Yecheng could still sit still.

Since this is the case, Guan Yu decided to launch an attack on Xiangfan at the right time after this year's spring ploughing to attract the attention of Cao Jun, and at the same time slow down Cao Cao's assistance to Guanzhong.

This time, Zhang Xi did not object, after all, this matter was discussed almost last year, and it depends on how it will be implemented.

However, Guan Yu is not going to send troops to Xiangfan right now, but he just started to make preparations, and the first thing he did was to contact the spies in Nanyang and Runan, so that they could start inciting some wealthy families who were dissatisfied with Cao Cao to start an uprising.

In this regard, the second master has been preparing for several years, and I don't know how much money he has spent.

The second master is making arrangements, and Zhang Xi must also make some arrangements.

After returning to the mansion, Zhang Xi wrote a secret letter to Pan Jun, asking him about something.

That is, a few days later, Zhang Xi received a reply from Pan Jun, and after Zhang Xi read it, he took the letter and went to Guan Yu's mansion.

After Guan Yu saw Pan Jun's reply, he was silent for a long time.

Since last year's military conference, Pan Jun and Guan Yu broke up unhappily, and not long after returning to Lingling County, Pan Jun received a letter from Lu Meng, the governor of Jingnan, Jiangdong.

There is nothing special in the letter, that is, Lu Meng expressed his admiration for Pan Jun, a famous man in Jingzhou, and asked Pan Jun for some problems in governing the local area.

In addition to being more respectful in the words, it is more in line with the identities of the two people in different forces.

Out of politeness, Pan Jun replied to Lu Meng, answered some of Lu Meng's questions, and said that the two sides did not intersect, and it was better not to communicate too much.

Then Lu Meng wrote back and explained. In this way, the frequency of communication between Pan Jun and Lu Meng is basically maintained at the level of one letter every half a month.

Recently, Lu Meng seems to be more familiar with Pan Jun, and some words are often easy to lead people to think about it, and there are more and more words that lead Pan Jun to be dissatisfied with Guan Yu and Liu Bei Group.

You really don't want to say it, if it weren't for the fact that Pan Jun had a secret conversation with Zhang Xi and Xu Shu before returning to Lingling, he would really empathize with some of Lu Meng's statements.

But now, Pan Jun packed all these letters and sent them to Zhang Xi and Guan Yu.

The reason for Guan Yu's silence is this.

These letters, on the one hand, show Pan Jun's loyalty to Liu Bei.

Although Pan Jun may not agree with his own political views, his loyalty to Liu Bei is beyond doubt.

Otherwise, these letters from Lu Meng, Pan Jun jumped to Jiangdong, and it is estimated that the position will not be low, after all, Lu Meng is Sun Quan's confidant, and now he is also the governor of one party.

On the other hand, what does this Lu Meng want to do when he writes so many letters to Pan Jun?!
