"Childe, Tianwang secret report, two days ago, Cao Cao had completed the reorganization of the army again, and personally led the army to leave Chang'an and march into Hanzhong along the Bao Slope Road!"

Just more than a month after Liu Chan decided to launch the Battle of Xiangfan in advance, in Jiangling City, with the latest secret letter sent back by Skynet's secret agent with a flying pigeon, Pang Tong, who was excited, didn't even have time to translate it, and directly took the 'code book' and sent the original over.

At the beginning of May of the twenty-third year of Jian'an, because of Xiahou Yuan's early 'curtain call', Cao Cao also had to start his last trip to the west in advance.

And unlike the original history of squatting in Chang'an for more than half a year, this time after Cao Cao set off from Yecheng, he only stayed in Chang'an for a few days to let the army repair, and then went straight to Hanzhong through the Bao Slope, which shows that Xiahou Yuan's death stimulated him greatly.

"Haha, since Cao Cao has moved, then we should also move! Someone comes, pass on the order of the prince ......"

Knowing that Cao Cao had entered Hanzhong, Liu Chan, who had already prepared, was also immediately refreshed, and immediately ordered to summon Jingzhou Yiying civil and military forces to prepare to send troops to Xiangfan.

……

"Now Cao thief personally led the army in Hanzhong to fight with his father, and my son wanted to raise an army to the north to attack Xiangfan, echoing his father, so that he could not take care of each other, what do you think?"

In the lobby of the State Pastoral Mansion, looking at the civil and military forces of Jingzhou on both sides of the lower head, although Liu Chan, who was alone in the main seat, used an inquiring tone, but the solemn expression on his face made it clear to everyone that this was an order rather than a consultation.

Speaking of which, although the matter of sending troops has already been finalized with the second master, Mi Mang, and Pan Jun, the most core high-level civil and military forces in Jingzhou, the news has not been leaked, and the 'Northern Expedition' has not been officially announced before.

"Okay, it's long overdue to get Xiangfan back!"

"The lord is in the battle formation, I can't wait here to watch, can we?"

"Childe, the last general and others agree with ......"

As soon as Liu Chan's order came out, which seemed to have a consultative tone, Liao Hua, Ma Liang and the others suddenly opened their mouths excitedly in agreement.

Just kidding, with the current equipment and combat power of the Jingzhou Army, who doesn't want to make a contribution?

"Hehe, since you have no objections, then the matter is decided!"

Looking at the Jingzhou civil and military forces in the hall, Liu Chan couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and then started to order on the spot.

"Mi Fang and Fu Shiren listened to the order, and ordered the two of you to be the vanguard, and lead the army of 10,000 to camp outside the city first, and start as soon as the auspicious time arrives tomorrow!"

What everyone didn't expect was that just when Liao Hua and Guan Ping were gearing up to win the vanguard position, Liu Chan ordered Mi Fang and Fu Shiren's generals.

In fact, not only Liao Hua and Guan Ping, but in the face of Liu Chan's order, even Mi Fang herself was confused. Didn't this special meow say that he would let himself do nothing but wait for the deception, why is he becoming a pioneer now?

"Young Master ......"

Mi Fang, who was puzzled in her heart, was stunned, and suddenly involuntarily looked at Liu Chan.

"Bold Mi Fang, you dare to disobey military orders?"

However, before Mi Fang could finish his doubtful words, the second master led by the military general's side immediately stepped out, and between his slightly open eyes, a cold murderous aura suddenly swept towards him.

"The end ...... The last will not dare, the last will obey! ”

Swept away by this murderous aura like a knife, Mi Fang, who had always been afraid of the second master, couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and couldn't care about the doubts in his heart anymore and quickly took the military order.

"Second uncle, in this Northern Expedition, you will be the commander, and the 20,000 land and water army will be the Chinese army, and my nephew will sit in the rear for you!"

After Mi Fang received the order to retreat, Liu Chan, who turned a blind eye to his doubts, immediately officially appointed the second master as the commander of the Northern Expedition, and handed over the 50,000 troops on the surface of Jingzhou to him and brought out 30,000.

At this point, unlike the original 'plot' The official Northern Expedition that began after the end of the Battle of Hanzhong, this time because of Liu Chan, the Battle of Xiangfan began when the Battle of Hanzhong entered the period of stalemate.

……

"How to solve the worries, only Du Kang! You don't have to take things to heart today......"

In the camp of the vanguard army outside Jiangling City, looking at Mi Fang, who was frowning and silent, thinking that he was still unhappy with the second master's reprimand, at this moment, he came over with a jar of 'healing medicine', and pulled him into the big tent.

"Today's son hasn't said anything, he is closed...... Yun Chang scolded me like this, it was too deceitful! ”

Hearing Fu Shiren's consolation, Mi Fang, who was originally just wondering why his mission had changed from a fraudulent surrender to a pioneer, couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration in his heart at this moment, and remembered the explanation he made when Liu Chan gave him the fraudulent surrender task before.

Therefore, following Fu Shiren's words, Mi Fang naturally expressed her 'indignation'.

"Hehe, Zifang should say a few words. Although you and I are also old people who followed the lord, but Yun Chang is the righteous brother of the lord, how can you and I compare? ”

In Mi Fang's indignant expression, Fu Shiren, who shook his head, lifted the 'holy medicine' in his hand and poured it into the bowl.

Speaking of which, this Fu Shiren is also an old man who has followed Liu Bei since he started the army, but because of the arrogant temperament of the second master, like Mi Fang, the relationship between him and Guan Yu is not harmonious.

Therefore, he thought that he was sympathetic to Mi Fang, so he proposed the healing elixir to 'heal' Mi Fang.

It's just that what he didn't know was that this time, because of the reason that Liu Chan was in Jingzhou, Mi Fang was able to raise grain and grass, and although the relationship with the second master was not very good, it was no longer what it used to be.

And he himself was not as lucky as Mi Fang to be 'saved' by Liu Chan. Therefore, without knowing it, he could only passively undertake the task of luring the enemy to go deep given to him by Liu Chan.

……

"It's really burning? The army is about to go on an expedition, and this is our own weaponry......"

Just when Mi Fang Fu Shiren was taking holy medicine in the tent to 'heal his wounds', the two Mi Fang's personal soldiers couldn't help but be a little reluctant in the back camp where he stored grain, grass and ordnance. ，

"Burn it, this is an order from the young master himself!"

After a while, the ruthless two finally put down the torches in their hands, and ignited the grain and grass weapons in front of them in pain.

"Come on, the back camp is out of water, put out the fire......"

Throwing the torch in his hand into the grain and grass materials that had burned into a sea of fire in an instant, the two arsonists immediately shouted for help and the thief shouted.

……

"Gongzi made you and the others the vanguard, but you neglected your duty and drank in the army, so that so much ordnance, grain and grass were destroyed before you left the army. What is the use of leaving such a mistake? Someone, go out with a certain push, behead the public! ”

Outside Jiangling City, in the vanguard army of the Da Nei Camp, which was burned down by a fire, looking at Mi Fang Fu Shiren, who knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, the second master, who was the commander of the Northern Expedition, was furious, and even beheaded the two to enforce military discipline.

"Second uncle, it really hurts morale if you don't go out to kill the generals first. And my uncle has been able to raise food and grass in the past few years, so why don't you temporarily exempt him from his crime and let him make meritorious contributions? ”

Just when Mi Fang and Fu Shiren had been set up by the sergeant, Liu Chan hurriedly opened his mouth to ask for mercy for the two.

"Adou, military law is ruthless! If there is a law that is not followed, and everyone ignores military law, how can they govern the army and how to fight wars......"

In the face of Liu Chan's plea from the young master, the second master still did not have the intention of relenting, and still insisted on killing the two to enforce military discipline.

"Second uncle, my former nephew was fortunate to be supported by Erniang in the Nagasaka Rebellion...... For the sake of Erniang's face, spare my uncle today! ”

Seeing that the second master was still not complimentary, Liu Chan had no choice but to move out the deceased Mrs. Mi.

"Hmph, for the sake of Adou and his sister-in-law today, I will send you the heads of the two for the time being. In the future, if I dare to make a mistake, I will be punished for two crimes when I return victorious......"

As the saying goes, the dead are the greatest, and seeing that Liu Chan moved out the deceased Mrs. Mi, the second master was finally relieved. only took the position of the vanguard of the two people, let them stay in the public security and Jiangling, and then fined each of them forty boards.

"Thank you Gongzi and Junhou for your life!"

Seeing that they had come back with a small life in exchange for a small life, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren hurriedly thanked Liu Chan and the second master.

It's just that, unlike Fu Shiren, when he thanked Liu Chan and the second master for his kindness, in addition to fear, resentment and happiness, Mi Fang's eyes were speechless and bitter.

"Liao Hua and Guan Ping listened to the order and ordered the two of you to take over Mi Fang Fu Shiren as the pioneer......"
