Just when Liu Chan and the others were celebrating their victory, Guan Yu had already started the Northern Expedition.

Lao Liu knew, but Liu Chan didn't know yet.

It's not that Lao Liu's news is faster, in fact, Liu Chan's attention and attention to Jingzhou are still above Lao Liu at this time.

Zhao's firm has Liu Chan behind the back, and there are special manpower to deliver news of Jingzhou, not to mention the waterway, the land route can also use the official post road.

It was only because Liu Chan suddenly came to Hanzhong that the news could not be delivered to Liu Chan in time.

Lao Liu knew that it was because he had instructed this matter.

What he actually thought was that Xiangfan could be defeated best, even if he couldn't beat it for a while, it could also play a role in restraining Boss Cao.

Because he wanted to withdraw the main force from Hanzhong to Yizhou in batches to rest.

After two years of fierce fighting, the soldiers were already exhausted and unable to fight again.

If the army rests in the Central Plains of Han, the pressure on logistics supply is too great, and the loss of grain transported by land is too much, and the grain fed by people and horses is not as much as that of the people, cattle and horses on the road.

Pick up grain on the spot in Hanzhong...... Hanzhong lost most of the population at this time, and when Boss Cao retreated, the walls were clear, how could there be enough supplies.

Wei Yan was bound to be left with only a small number of soldiers and horses to reduce the logistical pressure.

In this way, although Wei Yan's words were heroic, Lao Liu couldn't help but leave behind.

And one of these backhands is Guan Yu's Northern Expedition.

In Lao Liu's opinion, with his second brother's ability, even if he can't defeat Xiangfan, he is bound to mobilize Cao Cao to send troops to rescue.

When the pressure is too much, wouldn't it be better to retreat to Gangneung? The purpose of the strategic pull has been achieved.

And Guan Yu's confidence in the Northern Expedition was given by Lao Liu who dragged Cao Cao to Hanzhong before, not only pulled it over, but also beat him to lose his troops.

The two brothers pulled Boss Cao to the limit and kept moving him on the east-west line......

Just give him Lao Liu a year, just one year.

After a year, the Yizhou soldiers and horses have finished resting, and if Jingzhou fails to take Xiangfan, it can send reinforcements.

If you have already taken Xiangfan...... It means that the water is under control!

At that time, Guan Yu was ordered to send the soldiers of Jingzhou to Xiang Wan and Luo, and Lao Liu personally led the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan...... The people dare not eat pot pulp to welcome the old Liu Hu?

Isn't that what Longzhong is all about?

I can only say that the idea is still very good......

In fact, just looking at the words in front of you is not only the idea, but also the reality is very beautiful.

Soon after Liu Chan left Jingzhou, Guan Yu personally led his troops and launched a campaign to attack Xiangfan in the north.

His first opponent was Cao Ren, whose abilities needless to say.

However, to this day, his army has been beaten into the special care ward called Fancheng by Guan Yu's "Naval Army Marines".

There are only thousands of soldiers and horses left, trapped in the lonely city, waiting for Boss Cao to send someone to pick him up and discharge him......

And Cao Cao's withdrawn army was still in Guanzhong at this time and did not dare to move.

counterattacked Hanzhong, afraid that Cao Ren would lose Xiangfan, and sent troops to rescue Cao Ren, afraid that Lao Liu would advance into Guanzhong......

Boss Cao's head hurts more and more.

……

After the feast, in the early morning of the next day, Liu Bei was in his tent.

Liu Chan, who learned that the battle of Xiangfan had begun, asked Liu Bei a question with a fluke mentality.

"Old man, can the army withdraw to Yizhou later?"

Liu Bei frowned, he had just called his father for a day, and he became an "old man" again after sleeping.

Lao Liu thought about it for a while, guessed Liu Chan's thoughts, and was pleased that his son still had some strategic vision, but also a little helpless.

"You have also seen the state of those soldiers who have been fighting for two years, and what will happen to them if they go back later?" Lao Liu did not answer the rhetorical question.

“……”

Of course, Liu Chan knew that it was impossible, and the reason why he asked it was also because he had a bit of luck.

He wanted to help Second Uncle Guan contain Cao Cao's reinforcements.

If there are no reinforcements, no matter how firm the will of Cao Ren and Man Chong is, they will definitely not be able to bear it.

Once Fancheng falls, the defenders of Xiangyang will not see hope, and how can it last long.

It's a pity that everything can't be as you want.

Could it be that you should tell Lao Liu that you should transfer these tired soldiers who need to recuperate for a long time to support Uncle Guan's new war soldiers?

In the eyes of the uninformed Lao Liu, isn't this sick?

There is no way, so far, I can only go to Jingzhou by myself.

But before then, there is one last piece of the puzzle that needs to be completed.

After this thing is done, all the efforts I can think of have been tried, and then Jingzhou will fight, success or failure, life and death, and there will be no regrets.

"I want to go to Shangyong first and meet my brother. If you go back to Yizhou, you don't know when you will see you again. ”

Lao Liu obviously didn't expect to hear this sentence from Liu Chan's mouth.

"This ......" He originally wanted Liu Chan to go back to Yizhou with him directly, but thinking of what Kong Ming said that day, he hesitated again.

"Okay then." Then he also said something that Liu Chan didn't expect, "I will go with you for my father." ”

【Liu Feng's Favorability-2】

[Current Opinion: 28]

Liu Chan: ?

What's the situation? Why haven't you gone yet, as soon as you say you're going to go to my brother, it will reduce your favorability?

But soon Liu Chan understood that it was estimated that the matter of his canonization of the crown prince had reached Shangyong.

Liu Chan sighed secretly, brother, brother, you still can't think about it.

If you want to talk about Liu Feng's mood, he can understand it with a little empathy.

At the beginning, Lao Liu had no son, and the purpose of taking the initiative to accept others as sons was very clear, that is, to cultivate an heir.

I didn't expect to have my own son later, and he didn't die yet.

However, at that time, there was not even a territory, and the future was uncertain, and Liu Feng actually didn't feel any pity for not being the heir.

Later, when he went to the east and west to help Lao Liu lay a foundation, Lao Liu felt that he owed Liu Feng, and often promoted and rewarded him, and always compared Liu Feng with Liu Chan.

Lao Liu's original intention was to use Liu Feng to inspire Liu Chan, who had not crossed long at that time and seemed to be a little eye-catching.

But Liu Feng didn't know, he thought that Lao Liu was dissatisfied with Liu Chan, and still planned to choose him as his heir.

After that, Liu Feng participated in the defeat of Xichuan even more diligently, followed the fight against Hanzhong, and finally succeeded in occupying the top mediocrity and made great contributions repeatedly.

lost himself in Lao Liu's beautiful boy, and his expectations were getting higher and higher.

As a result, after Lao Liu was rewarded, he suddenly announced that Liu Chan would be the crown prince......

This makes Liu Fengqing, who has always been hopeful and wants to show his father at every opportunity, how can he be embarrassed?

But if you want to say that Liu Feng wants to kill him Liu Chan because of this, then he doesn't believe it.

Not for anything else, just because this still has 28 favorability.

Opinion doesn't deceive you.

If Liu Feng has murderous intentions towards himself, his favorability will inevitably fall to a negative number.

Therefore, Liu Chan felt that there might still be a chance, and he could do something in Liu Feng's tragic future.

What's more, this matter also involves the safety of Second Uncle Guan.

……

From Hanzhong to Shangyong, you can go to the water.

Where there is access to waterways, traffic always has to be faster, and there is no long delay.

In addition, after listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Lao Liu also felt that he should really work family harmony, so he traveled lightly and came to Shangyong with Liu Chan.

Shangyong County is located in the Qinba Mountains, surrounded by mountains and old forests, the land is barren, and many ethnic groups such as Han, Qiang, and Di live together, which is really not a good place.

Even this place was often used to exile prisoners.

But for the forces that want to control the front line of the water, this place has to be taken.

Liu Chan followed his father to Shangyong County, the seat of Shangyong County......

It is said that this place is called the county seat, but it is too exalted, and it is almost the same as a larger cottage.

Liu Chan saw Liu Feng, who he hadn't seen for a long time, from a distance, and greeted him at the gate of the city with a group of subordinate officials.

Liu Fengsheng is tall and big, with a strong physique, and he is a tiger general at first glance.

At this time, he stepped forward quickly with hope and a smile on his face, but when he saw Liu Chan behind Liu Bei, the smile froze on his face......
