"Today, this Xiangyang Taishou is finally worthy of the name, hahahaha!"

Xiangyang City, looking at the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar city in front of him, the second master, who has always been cold and arrogant, couldn't help but laugh with emotion at this moment.

"The prince and the marquis descended to Xiangyang with a drum, which is naturally gratifying, but at this moment, when Cao Bing is frightened, why don't I take advantage of the victory to cross the river and take Fancheng in one fell swoop?"

Looking at the second master who stroked his beard and laughed with emotion, staff officers Ma Liang, Yi Yuan and others looked at Fancheng on the other side of the Han River with some unwillingness.

It turned out that after taking Xiangyang, after the second master issued the order to reward the army and appease the people, he did not mention the matter of taking advantage of the situation to attack Fancheng.

"Father, now is the time when Cao Ren's troops are insufficient, if you miss this opportunity......

Not only Ma Liang, Yi and other civilian staff officers, but in the face of the second master's move of stopping after taking Xiangyang, General Guan Ping was even more anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks.

"Don't worry, just a Fancheng is nothing, hahahaha!"

Looking at the unwilling and urgent expressions of the civil and military under his command, the second master just stroked his beard again and laughed, still not mentioning the attack on Fancheng at all.

……

"What does Berning think of today's events?"

Just when Guan Ping, Ma Liang and others were puzzled by the fact that the second master not only let Cao Ren go, but also gave up the great fighter to attack Fancheng at this time, in Fancheng on the north bank of the Han River, Cao Ren, who escaped by luck, was also puzzled by the second master's behavior today.

You know, this kind of opportunity to slash or capture the enemy boss alive is not something that can be easily encountered. If he was in a transposition, then he would never have let go of such a great achievement. But Guan Yu just gave up so easily, so can this not make him confused?

"Hehe, maybe it's probably because Yun Chang is grateful for the king's kindness in the past!"

In the face of Cao Ren's inquiry, the full favor who had seen this scene in the city before was also puzzled by this, and could only use this unconvincing 'retribution' to fool people.

"Berning said with a smile, if he Guan Yunchang really misses the king's kindness in the past, not to mention leading the crowd to vote, at least he will not come to the border, and he will not come to the border at this time......"

Shaking his head, for the unconvincing reason of being full of favors, Cao Ren could only listen to it as a joke.

"Zixiao, no matter what Yun Chang is doing today, the top priority is to strengthen the defense of Fancheng and prevent it from taking advantage of the victory to attack the city......"

Since he couldn't understand why Guan Yu would let Cao Ren go, Man Chong didn't bother to think about it anymore, but shifted his attention to the guards in Fancheng.

"Our army is already under-armed, and today it has lost thousands of men...... Now I can't care so much about it, so I will defend Fancheng first. The order was ordered, and the army that surrounded and suppressed the bandits everywhere immediately returned to Nanyang. As for the suppression of bandits, it will be encircled and suppressed by the local governments! ”

Hearing Manzhong's reminder, in order to ensure the safety of Fancheng, Cao Ren was also ruthless, and directly ordered the recall of the bandit army that had been sent out to ensure the safety of the grain road in Hanzhong.

……

"Boning, what does Guan Yu mean by this? This is the time when our army is at its weakest......"

On the tower of the south gate of Fancheng, looking at the calm Han River and the equally calm Xiangyang City opposite, if it weren't for the flag on the head of the city replaced with the big banner with the word 'Guan', Cao Ren would have thought that his defeat a few days ago was a dream.

There was no way, after Guan Yu let him go outside Xiangyang City, Cao Ren had been waiting for five days for the upcoming battle for Fancheng.

As a result, it turned out that now the army of bandits he sent out had already begun to come back, but Guan Yu on the other side seemed to have forgotten about it.

"Come on, send me more people to investigate carefully and see what Guan Yu is up to. In addition, the army was ordered to strengthen its vigilance, and those who dared to slack off in the slightest would be subject to military law! ”

Although he was very confused by the second master's operation, Cao Ren knew one thing very well, Jingzhou used tens of thousands of troops, and it was absolutely impossible to simply take one Xiangyang City.

After all, just as Hanzhong is the gateway to Yizhou, Xiangyang, Fancheng or Nanyang are also portal-like existences for the Central Plains.

Therefore, for such a strategic place, whether it is Guan Yu or Liu Bei, it is impossible to give up so easily.

Therefore, in the case of not understanding the intentions of the second master or Jingzhou, all he can do is to ensure the safety of Fancheng in his own way as much as possible.

"Damn, I hope Guan Yunchang will call sooner now, it's better than such a startled ......"

At the end, looking at Xiangyang City, which was still as calm as water, Cao Ren couldn't help but feel helpless.

"Zixiao, I think it's better to report this matter to the king in time!"

After a few days, the second master, who first let Cao Ren go, and then sat back and watched Fancheng's strength strengthen the operation, was full of favor, and finally could only prepare to hand over this problem to Cao Cao.

"Alas, I didn't want to cause trouble to the king, but now that's all I can do!"

Hearing Man's proposal, Cao Ren, who was ashamed, couldn't help but nodded.

……

"Junhou, the scout has come to report that the army sent by Cao Ren to protect the grain route has been withdrawn one after another, and now Fancheng has no less than 5,000 troops. If it continues, after Cao Ren has gathered all his forces, he will miss the opportunity to capture Fancheng again......"

Just when Cao Ren and Man Chong were about to report this problem to Cao Cao that they couldn't understand, in Xiangyang City, which was separated from Fancheng by a water, Ma Liang, Yi Yuan, Liao Hua, Guan Ping and other civil and military officers were all anxious at this moment to find the second master again, and wanted to take advantage of Fancheng's lack of troops to immediately send troops to attack.

"Hehe, let's come back for help, don't worry!"

Glancing at the more urgent crowd, the second master was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, calmly stroking his beard and flipping through a copy of the latest "Spring and Autumn" printed by Jingzhou Bookstore.

"Father's ......"

"Prince!"

……

"Childe, now that Yun Chang's bait has been dropped, now it's up to the Jiangdong water fish to bite the hook."

Just when Ma Liang, Guan Ping, Cao Ren and others were all puzzled by the second master's mysterious operation, in Jiangling City, Pang Tong's attention had already shifted to Jiangdong, which had been very calm.

"Hehe, it's too early for the kid. With the temperament of Jiangdong water fish, they will never open their mouths to bite the hook when they are absolutely cheap. Therefore, if you want them to really make up their minds, Cao Cao has to 'cooperate' with the second uncle and win a few more battles to make the momentum bigger! ”

Looking at Pang Tong's excited expression, Liu Chan, who was very clear about the 'plot' and Sun Quanjun's urine, couldn't help but shake his head.

"Childe, don't worry, unless Cao Cao is willing to sit back and watch the Central Plains Portal in my hands, otherwise he will smash the pot and sell iron, and he will also actively 'cooperate' with Yun Chang, hahahaha!"
