Liu Chan first gave enough benefits to the small families and tribes in Xicheng and Shangyong.

When they also think that they have vested interests, even if they calm down after going back, some people want to understand that Liu Chan is to use their strength to retreat from Cao, and they will not be willing to give up the duck to the mouth, so they can only go all the way to the dark on the road of supporting Liu Chan.

This is a conspiracy.

A few days after the meeting, the tribes sent their young men as promised.

Although the population of each tribe is not large, the Qiang tribe of the two counties combined still sent more than 2,000 young people.

This is almost the limit, if they suffer heavy casualties, these small tribes scattered in the three counties will be immediately deprived.

It can be seen that they are also desperate at this time.

These young men are already strong, plain and full of martial virtues, they have seen it when Liu Chan came to Shangyong last time, and sometimes they can fight with a wrong look.

Although they don't know the battle formation and can't understand the flag, they only need to understand that beating the drum to march and singing gold to collect the troops is also a considerable combat force at the right time.

As for the training of these Qiang people, Liu Chan naturally handed it over to Ma Chao.

For others, it was a headache to train these unruly Qiangdi, but it was a piece of cake for the Shenwei Tian General, who had a high reputation among them.

In addition, the original Han people in the city are young and strong, and there are more than 6,000 people.

As for those Shen family's private soldiers, Liu Chan didn't plan to use them, these people have been attached to the Shen family for generations, and they have already regarded themselves as the Shen family ideologically, and the risk is too high.

At the same time, Liu Chan also quickly sent people to escort the Shen family and the Shen brothers to Hanzhong in the rear, and asked Wei Yan to send someone to strictly guard them.

Xicheng and Shangyong have settled down internally, and now with the full support of these local families and tribes, there is no need to worry about any big chaos inside.

Liu Chan had sent a letter to the reserve of the Red Star Army left behind in Xicheng, and ordered Ding Feng and Chai Rong to lead 500 people to Shangyong to join them, and Shen Zhong led the remaining 500 people to continue to defend Xicheng.

The rest is how to break the cao.

……

"Weaving sacks?" Vice General Wang understood what Liu Chan was saying, but he didn't understand what he was going to do.

Liu Chan nodded: "Yes, fill the burlap bag with earth, rock, and sediment for later use." ”

"Uh...... How much does the prince need? ”

"The more the merrier. The women of the city could be told that for every burlap bag they weaved, they could exchange it for ten dollars. ”

"Yes."

Regarding how to deal with the Cao army east of the blocked water, Liu Chan already had a preliminary belly plan, and if he wanted to use the land of the two states to go on a northern expedition, population was always a big problem.

Therefore, he did not want to win any battle.

But after all, the opponent will not always follow your train of thought, just like now, after so many days in a row, Cao's army has always been stationed on the east coast, without any offensive action.

He didn't plan to cross the river to attack at all, and wanted to confront Liu Chan for a long time.

The ambush troops arranged by Adjutant General Wang on the west bank have always been useless, and they have begun to slack off a little.

"Prince, although we have enough food now, it is not suitable to spend a long time with Cao Jun after all, and a quick battle is the best policy." Guan Xingdao.

Liu Chan nodded, he naturally knew this.

Now Cao Jun is in control of the lower reaches of the river and Fangling, and can continuously send the grain of Nanyang to the front line through the water.

It seems that there is enough food on his side, and it seems that it has been consuming energy for a long time, but it will soon be spring ploughing, and if a large number of young people are unable to participate in the cultivation, it will inevitably lead to a dismal harvest in the three counties that are already not rich in products in the coming year.

At that time, Hanzhong will even need to support food, but Hanzhong has not yet been able to be self-sufficient, and in the end, the pressure will be given to Jing Yi, and he will have to face a huge consumption of long supply lines.

Liu Chan also planned to integrate the south in this year, but he didn't want to fall into a war of attrition with Cao's army in this place in the three counties.

"Is there a good plan for Anguo?"

Guan Xing said his thoughts, and Liu Chan nodded slightly.

If this plan is successful, with his original idea, he may be able to defeat Cao Jun quickly.

"Okay, then it's up to ......"

Liu Chan is stagnant, his subordinates can take charge alone, and there are still too few generals who are qualified for this task.

Ma Chao himself is still very useful, and he can't be sent.

Li Er has no problem commanding the advance and retreat of the Red Star Army, formations, etc., but it is still too young to lead an army to fight on its own.

"Prince, I'm willing to go!" Guan Xing said, "I proposed this plan, and I should lead people to go." ”

Liu Chan was a little hesitant, but when he talked to Guan Xing recently, his talent is actually very good, and his foundation is also very solid, but he still lacks the opportunity to exercise.

In the end, he nodded and said: "Okay, I will order you to lead 2,000 Shangyong defenders, and then 4,000 young men with you, and set off as soon as possible, and act according to this plan." ”

Guan Xing clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Obey!" Xingding lives up to the prince's trust. ”

What Guan Xing wants to do, as long as his side can go smoothly, then his safety is still quite high.

However, Liu Chan's expression was straight, and he still said solemnly: "Remember, nothing is important, if it doesn't work out, you should withdraw in time if you suffer losses, and you can't be reckless!" ”

He didn't want Guan Xing to die young in this place, he brought Guan Xing out, and naturally he had to bring it back intact.

【Guan Xing Opinion +5】(70)

[Guan Xing's opinion is 70, military talent +10×2, long soldier talent +8×2, equestrian talent +8×2]

Guan Xing was moved when he heard this: "Obey!" ”

It's just that...... As a member of the Guan family, the more they listen to such words, the more determined they will be to complete the task to the death.

After that, Guan Xing didn't say much, hugged his fists to everyone in the banquet, and got up and walked away in a hurry.

In order to cover Guan Xing, Liu Chan also had to take the initiative to attack on a good day.

With Xu Huang's ability, Cao Jun must have set up an ambush on the east bank of the blocked water, waiting for the half-crossing attack like he had done before.

But soon, he will be able to take advantage of the last dry period before the temperature warms up in winter, and usher in the best time to cross the river.

However, this task can only be completed by the Red Star Army, and no one else can be brought with them.

Only the fighting will, loyalty, and organization of the Red Star Army can complete such a difficult combat mission.

Ma Chao frowned after hearing Liu Chan's plan and said, "Prince, in this way, only Ling will go to the east coast with a thousand Red Star Army...... Cao Jun still has nearly 20,000 troops, and this matter is too dangerous, and the minister thinks it is inappropriate. ”

"Lone is not going to a decisive battle with Cao Jun." Liu Chan said with a smile, "General Meng Qi can rest assured, just follow what Gu said, and lead the crowd to wait on the west bank for answers." ”

Ma Chao quickly understood Liu Chan's thoughts: "Could it be that the prince wants to lure the enemy with his body?" ”

"Yes, if you want to catch a big fish, how can a fish bite if you don't give a sufficient amount of bait?"

"Then why don't you let the minister lead the cavalry with you?"

Liu Chan shook his head: "The Cao army now occupies a high point and camps in the village, even the Dian horse can't play much role, and it's useless to go together." ”

Ma Chao understood that what Liu Chan said was reasonable, but he was still a little worried.

The passion he had just ignited, the state he had just regained and his expectations for the future, he didn't want Liu Chan to have any mistakes and dissipate.

"The general's stay on the West Bank is the greatest help to Gu. If you go alone, you will be careful, and the general should not worry. ”

At the beginning, Cao Ren's Fan Cheng let Second Uncle Guan be beaten into that bird-like, and Xu Huang couldn't help but not send troops to save him when the time came......

This kind of person who is ruthless to the enemy, as well as to himself and his allies, if he does not go there himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to mobilize him.

This is not a deliberate risk, but the best option in the current situation to break the deadlock quickly.

……

"Lure the enemy?" Xiahou Shangmo rubbed his chin and looked at Xu Huang in front of him.

Xu Huang nodded and said: "I often hear that Liu Chan is brave and brave, and often breaks into battle single-handedly, and does the thing of riding alone to capture the flag." ”

"Not bad." Xiahou Shang had a deep understanding of this, and couldn't help but sigh, "Previously, this person rode into our army formation alone and rescued Liu Feng, and he really had the courage of ten thousand people. Liu Bei's courage as a son is even better than his fake son. ”

Xu Huang smiled slightly, but there was murderous intent in his smile: "It is not difficult for our army to spend a year or two with it here, but I expect that Liu Chan is unwilling to hold on for a long time." Looking at the previous character and the battle of Jingzhou, he must personally lead the army to cross the river to attack. ”

Xiahou Shang said with a smile: "Yes, if this is the case, our army can give it a head-on attack on the east bank!" ”

"No, just a small number of ambushes on the shore, but you can't be defeated."

Xiahou Shang was stunned when he heard this, but after a little thought, he immediately woke up, and said with a smile: "Could it be that General Gongming wants to ......"

There is also a very important reason why Xu Huang has little disgust with this princeling, which is that this person is not a straw bag.

"Yes, as General Beren said. In this way, with Liu Chan's previous performance, he will definitely break into the army again single-handedly, and want to stab me Xu Huang under the horse. ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and they both laughed.

However, Meng Da did not appear here as before, and the daily cooking smoke in the Cao army camp remained unchanged, and the camp tent remained unchanged.

However, Mengda's 4,000 men and horses have quietly disappeared......
