Yesterday it was sunny, but after a night, snow fell.

Snowflakes fell all over the sky, like goose feathers, one after another.

Dress up the inside and outside of Xudu City in a piece of silver!

Xiahou Nan's son Xiahou Nan and Xiahou Yuan's second son Xiahou Ba and third son Xiahou said that the three of them took their servants and rode lightly on fat horses, carrying prey on the cart, and returned happily.

It was as if they were hunting in the snow while there was such a heavy snowfall.

Xiahou Nan shouted loudly: "It's still a snow day to hunt." ”

Xiahou Ba smiled: "Yes, the beasts are frozen, they can't run fast, and they shoot a shot, so it's too boring to hunt like this." This kind of weather should be galloping! Shoot the enemy alive! ”

Xiahou Ba is a warmonger, and his incomparable desire to gallop on the battlefield cannot be hidden at all.

Xiahou said that he would understand, "Second brother is afraid that Brother Ziwen (Cao Zhang) will go to round up that Guan Yu, and his heart is itchy!" ”

Xiahou Ba sighed "sigh", "Not only Ziwen wen, Zihuan and Zijian went, but my uncle didn't allow us to go... If we have to be stationed in Xudu, hehe, Xiangfan is not broken, what is there to garrison in Xudu City? lost such a great feat as 'ambush on all sides' in vain. ”

Xiahou Nan was also full of emotion, "Yes, isn't that Gaozu Liu Bang the overlord of Chu who was ambushed and defeated on all sides?" This time, the encirclement and suppression of Guan Yu is another battle after 400 years! ”

Xiahou said that he was sympathetic, "When is it, I still think about the ancestor of the Han family, mentioning this ambush on all sides, shouldn't the eldest brother of Zilin (Xiahou Nan) think of the 'Battle of Cangting' between the eldest uncle and the thief of Yuan Shao?" It was Mr. Cheng Yu who offered a plan to his uncle, and ambushed Yuan Benchu from all sides, beating him to death by vomiting blood! ”

"Hahahaha..."Xiahou Nan smiled, "Shuquan (Xiahou said) is right, now the world is our uncle's, how can there be any Han family affairs, but this Guan Yu, will he also vomit blood and die like that Yuan Benchu?" Not to mention, so much game went to my house, and we roasted and ate it while drinking. ”

"Forget it!" Xiahou Ba and Xiahou said waved their hands again and again, "After Brother Zilin and Princess Qinghe got married, I heard that Princess Qinghe didn't allow Brother Zilin to drink!" ”

Mentioning this, Xiahou Nan snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the fact that he was the uncle's daughter..."

Speaking of which, suddenly Xiahou Nan saw his father Xiahou Xuan upstairs in Xu Ducheng in front of him.

Despite the distance, ... Xiahou Nan still swallowed back everything he wanted to say because of timidity.

"What is Uncle doing here?" Xiahouba asked curiously.

"Most of them are still ambushes from all sides, encircling and suppressing Guan Yu, right?" Xiahou replied.

Xiahou bowed, "I guess my uncle is worried that in this weather, it will be difficult for Guan Yu to march, and the time to enter the ambush will be later." ”

In this compartment, the three juniors of the Xiahou family returned with a full load of prey.

Over there, Xiahoudun on the city tower noticed them and knew that they had returned from hunting in the snow, and he didn't greet these sons and nephews, but just stared in the direction of Xiangfan with heavy eyebrows.

Speaking of which, after Cao Cao captured Hanzhong, he sent Xiahoudun back to Xudu without stopping.

is worried about the turmoil in Xu Capital City and even within the Central Plains.

You must know that on the tenth day of the fifth month two years ago, Emperor Xian named Cao Cao as the Duke of Wei, and the ten counties under Jizhou were used as Cao Cao's feudal states, adding "nine tins", and allowing him to wear dragon robes, crowns and red ceremonial shoes.

In November, the state of Wei set up Shangshu, Shizhong and Liuqing.

In December, Cao Cao resumed corporal punishment.

It was from that time that there were more and more clans opposing Cao Cao.

And the death of Xun Yu and Xun Lingjun set off a storm of anti-Cao in the clan.

It can be said that since two years ago, Cao Cao has not been on the expedition for more than a year.

He always needs to watch out for chaos in Kyoto!

After breaking through Hanzhong this time, he did not return from Hanzhong immediately because the temptation of "Bashu" was too great, and also because he knew Liu Bei too well.

——The heroes of the world are only envoys and Caoer!

This Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, if he is really given enough time to develop, it will not be a disease of scabies, but a serious problem for his henchmen.

It is precisely for this reason that after capturing Hanzhong, Cao Cao immediately sent Xiahoudun, who went with him, back to Xudu.

First, come to Kyoto to prevent turmoil in the Central Plains;

Second, it is also necessary to prevent changes in the situation in Xiangfan and Hefei.

Who ever thought, what to be afraid of... Come something.

The situation in Xiangfan has really changed suddenly!

Xiahoudun's mood was not easy.

At this moment, he looked at Xiangfan with one eye, and his mouth groaned: "On this snowy day, Guan Yunchang's marching speed will not slow down, right?" Don't be surprised! ”

Xiahoudun was inexplicably worried.

But soon, his eyes tightened again, and he grinned, "It must be that I am too careful, in this weather, the Guan family army is bound to be like that frozen beast, at the mercy of others!" ”

Speaking of which... Xiahoudun regained a little self-confidence.

Merely...

If nothing else, there must be an "accident"!

"General Yu—" At this moment, one of the guards quickly reported. "Something happened to Xu Ducheng."

And with the words of this guard...

Xiahoudun's cheeks became solemn in an instant... It became gloomy.

…

…

The palatial Xiangyang City Government Office.

Now Zhao Yan, the "Dai Taishou" here, hurriedly walked out, he quickly rode to the city tower, turned over and dismounted, trotted all the way up to the city tower, and looked at the Guan family army waiting in the heavy snow outside the city.

- Armor like ink, unusually visible in the pale snow;

- Guns are like a forest, as if... This army shows an unwavering determination to look at death as if it were home.

This...

When Zhao Yan saw this scene, his legs staggered, and he almost fell, he muttered.

"That's not right!"

Indeed, according to Zhang Liao's analysis, according to the plan left by Prime Minister Cao Cheng.

Now... The Guan army should cross the river and attack Fancheng urgently.

How could it be Xiangyang?

Take Fancheng? It can threaten Xu, Luo... Xiangyang City is even more self-defeating!

At this time, it makes no sense to attack Xiangyang, which is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side!

You must know that although Xiangyang and Fancheng are only separated by a water, where the Guanjia army attacked, it was a difference between cloud and mud.

Fancheng is north of the Jingjiang River, closer to Cao Wei's territory.

The ambush over there will be very hidden, and it will be easier to set up an "ambush on all sides".

Can...

The city of Xiangyang is south of the Jingjiang River.

Closer is Guan Yu's territory, but whenever there is a disturbance, it is discovered by the scouts of the Guan family's army.

The ambush is bound to be discovered, not to mention any "ambush on all sides" and "catching turtles in the urn"!

This...

- Something is wrong!

At this moment, Zhao Yan's cheeks were coldly condensed, and facing the Guan family army under the city, he was a little flustered for a while.

He looked left and right, only to find that there was not even a real person to talk to!

Last night...

Zhang Liao has already led his troops and horses to Fancheng, that is to say, there are only Zhao Yan and 5,000 defenders in Xiangyang City today.

"Boom"...

Zhao Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his heart was extremely heavy.

- "If 30,000 Guan troops come to attack the city? Even if it's Xiangyang... Fear... I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it!'

- "Guan Jiajun won't... It's not going to be a siege, is it? They... They must be suspicious, clearly fighting Xiangyang, in fact... It's going to... It's going to attack Fancheng in a hurry, it must be like this, it must be like this!"

For a while, Zhao Yan's brows tightened.

"Pass my military order—"

"All the soldiers will be on standby, and if anyone dares to go out of the city to meet the enemy without permission, they will be killed... Kill it! ”

Zhao Yan's tone seemed a little panicked.

"In addition, the speed... Quickly spread the situation here to Fancheng! Passed on to General Wenyuan! ”

Yes, at this time, General Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan must take the idea.

Can...

The adjutant general on the side said, "General, such a heavy snowfall, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the flying pigeon can't fly to Jingjiang! ”

yes, so much snow, such a very cold weather... People are going to freeze to death, where can the pigeon spread its wings?

"That's... Then send fast horses! Zhao Yan was anxious.

"I can't send it out." The adjutant general said truthfully: "The city... The city is besieged..."

blurted out this sentence, Zhao Yan stumbled and took a heavy step back.

I don't understand...

He couldn't understand this situation at all!

But inexplicably, there was a trace of fear in his heart, a faint worry.

- It's like, it's about to... Something terrible is about to happen!

…

…

Surrounded by water on three sides, one side is backed by a mountain, and the majestic Xiangyang City.

At this moment, Guan Ping is standing under the city of Xiangyang, he overlooks this "easy to defend and difficult to attack" city... This snow-covered city.

He couldn't help but retreat in his heart.

- "Can you storm such a high wall and such a cold weather?"

Thinking of this, he looked around behind him, looking at the frozen appearance of the soldiers one by one, and the complicated expressions one by one, he could feel the tangled state of mind of the five thousand Guan family soldiers.

They were afraid of the siege, but... But he resolutely did not dare to retreat.

This is Guan Jiajun.

Knowing that there is a knife mountain ahead, the Guan family army also has to face the difficulties.

At this moment, Guan Ping had a trace of doubt in his heart.

- "Why don't my father and General Zhou Cang, the second brother, the third sister, and the fifth brother have no soldiers and horses?"

You can't really rely on just 5,000 of them to attack the city, right?

In such extreme weather, 30,000 Guan Jiajun may have a chance, but 5,000... There's no chance at all.

- "Wait..."

Guan Ping suddenly thought of something.

He exclaimed, "Where is my father's military order?" ”

Immediately, a deputy general took the military order, which was mentioned by Zhou Cang, and it could only be opened when he arrived at the city of Xiangyang, the second military order!

Guan Ping didn't think twice and quickly unfolded.

And this military order, it's okay if it doesn't unfold, as soon as it is unfolded, he is stunned.

- "This..."

- "How so?"

No wonder Guan Ping was surprised, because in this military order, Guan Yu wrote a line of small words: "Ping'er feinted to attack Xiangyang and went to take Jiangxia for his father!" ”

When he first saw it, Guan Ping hadn't reacted yet, and he thought of Guan Yu's "going to take Jiangxia for his father" as "going to take Fancheng for his father".

In this way, this is the most common strategy of "striking the east and attacking the west".

He was about to instruct his soldiers to wave their flags and shout to make an illusion.

Guan Ping suddenly seemed to react.

- "It's Jiangxia!"

Guan Ping's pupils widened instantly...

He subconsciously opened his mouth: "It's not Fancheng... Unexpectedly... It's Jiangxia! ”

"The words of the fourth brother, my father listened to it, no... Perhaps, maybe my father from the beginning, his goal was Jiangxia, Xiangfan... Xiangfan has always been an illusion, just a bait! ”

After a brain circuit as fast as electricity, Guan Ping came to this conclusion.

At the same time, he thought about it in an instant.

And the first thing that bore the brunt was actually a conversation between him and Guan Lin.

At that time, the fourth brother Guan Lin was chatting with the fifth brother Guan Suo, and the content of the chat was to "slander" his father...

Guan Ping couldn't look at it, so he argued a few words.

Guan Lin said: "Big brother, don't you really think that Yan Liang is killed? It's my father's work, right? ”

Guan Ping's answer was: "You don't have to use strong words, in the whole world, who doesn't know that my father 'beheaded Yan Liang and punished Wen Ugly', this is not my father's credit?" Who else could there be? ”

At that time, Guan Lin directly retorted: "Our father is blind, eldest brother, where do you believe his words?" Kill Yan Liang... At most, it has a lost relationship with him, when it comes to meritorious service, where is our father's turn to become famous? ”

"That's the credit of Cao Cao's mastermind - Xun You! The eldest brother thought, Yuan Shao sent the general Yan Liang to besiege Baima, and Xun Yu offered a plan to let Cao Cao's troops cross the river in Yanjin in disguise, so... Yuan Shao, who originally planned to garrison Baima, hesitated, he didn't dare to send people to support Yan Liang, so he sent heavy troops to guard the opposite bank of Yanjin..."

"But Cao Jun's side, shouting every day to fight over, what is the final result? was lonely, but our father, under the instruction of Cao Cao, led the light troops to attack the white horse, played a perfect time difference, and beheaded the isolated Yan Liang under the horse! Big brother, you taste, you taste! ”

"This matter, the people who eat melons don't know why, they all say that our father beheaded Yan Liang, but in fact, does this have a lot to do with our father? Under Xun You's strategy, Cao Cao didn't send our father, and under the huge time difference, the light cavalry raided, and the 'dog' who casually tied Cao Ying also beheaded that Yan Liang! What kind of face does our father have to say that this credit is his? Ya's... Our dad really grabbed all the credit, I'm embarrassed to say him, big brother, you taste, you taste again! ”

At that time, Guan Ping heard the "shocking" words of the fourth brother Guan Lin, and he only felt... The fourth brother is simply black for the sake of black daddy.

The black is pervasive...

The black one is "coaxing the hall and filial piety"!

But now... Guan Ping is enlightened!

Today... A military order from his father, he and his fourth brother "attacked the east and the west", and the means of "light cavalry rushing" to take Jiangxia were not the same as the methods of Cao Cao's white horse back then?

At that time, it was on the bank of the Yanjin River, Cao Jun and Yuan Jun looked at each other across the river, one shouted - "I want to fight over", and the other shouted - "You come here!" ”

In the end, nothing happened.

Isn't this the case in Xiangyang City today?

The purpose of the father and the fourth brother is to let him Guan Ping build momentum, shout, attract Cao Jun's attention, and create time for his father to seize Jiangxia.

At that time, Cao Cao was the mastermind Xun You's advice;

Isn't today's father... Does the fourth brother Yunqi offer advice?

- "I see! I see! ”

At this moment, Guan Ping was completely enlightened, he was shocked that the fourth brother was able to tell the truth about "Father beheaded Yan Liang" early in the morning, and he was even more shocked by the overall situation laid out by the fourth brother and his father!

"Pass my military order—"

Immediately, Guan Ping did not hesitate.

A group of soldiers thought that the eldest son was going to order the siege of the city, and their faces were like bitter melons...

With infinitely complex, tangled emotions.

It seems that Guan Lin's "terrible" prophecy is still hanging over their hearts and is constantly expanding.

At this moment, there are four big words written on their faces - to die.

Who would have thought...

Guan Ping directly ordered, "Don't attack the city, all wave the flag and shout, and make a strong noise!" Let the other side of the river think we're besieging a city! ”

"In addition, all the soldiers rushed back and forth, stirring up a cloud of snow and dust... Let the city of Xiangyang not be able to see our offensive clearly, and it is not clear how many of us there are? ”

The trick of stirring up dust was used by Zhang Fei when he was in Changban Slope.

With a roar under the Dangyang Bridge and the dust stirred up, Cao Cao misjudged and thought that he had ambushed thousands of troops.

Now Guan Ping has learned the same, and he is no problem.

Ya's...

If you can't take it down, forget it, and it's not like acting again.

Is he Guan Ping worthy of his father and his fourth brother Yunqi?

"Why are you still stunned? Hurry up! ”

Seeing that everyone was indifferent... Guan Ping commanded again.

At this time, a lieutenant general boldly asked: "Today's third watch is cooking, and the fifth watch is in a hurry, Guan Gong ordered the eldest son to lead the vanguard army here, no... Don't you siege the city? ”

The adjutant had a huge question mark on his face.

"Haha..."Guan Ping laughed, laughing extremely abruptly.

He took out two military orders in a row and threw them to the deputy general, "Look carefully, why did my father's military order ever write the word 'siege'?" ”

Yes...

As soon as this statement came out.

The five thousand officers and soldiers of the Guan family army were first extremely surprised.

But soon, the surprise was gone, and they fell into another extreme emotion.

It's clear, it's refreshing, it's a sad emotion.

The original emotional complexity is gone, and in its place... It was the faces that had regained their fighting spirit and color, and they all regained their vigor one by one and became excited.

In an instant, the 5,000 Guan family troops were all in good spirits.

It turns out that this is not a knife mountain oil pot, they are just a feint... They don't have to die without life, and Guan Gong doesn't have to be in a different place.

They have 5,000 Guan family troops, just acting!

Hehe!

Hehe!

Although the Guan family's military exercise is not particularly professional, they like to see this task!

Immediately, one by one, they acted quickly.

The snow is still flying.

The heavy snow showed no sign of stopping, and the five thousand Guan family troops shouted in unison.

- "Kill! Kill! ”

"Knock knock-" For a while, the drums sounded like thunder, and there was a sense of black clouds pressing the city.

The snow and dust swept on the ground made Xiangyang City and Cao Jun Tanma on the other side of the Jingjiang River not see clearly at all, how many people were in this Guan family army?

But on the cheeks of Guan Jiajun one by one, they roared and showed a wry smile.

- Happiness!

- Happiness came too suddenly!
