Guan Xing's thoughts in his heart unexpectedly coincided with Cao Jun's generals.

They all bypassed the enemy's main force and led the army to attack the enemy's rear city by surprise.

If Liu Chan's army loses Xicheng, there is still Shangyong who can hold on, waiting for Hanzhong to send reinforcements to rescue.

It doesn't take long to go down the water from above.

However, if Cao's army loses Fangling, it will completely lose its foothold in the three counties and become a lone army deep in the enemy's hinterland.

This will be a fatal blow to the morale of the army, even if Xu Huang governs the army strictly, at most it will not collapse immediately, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Of course, it is also very dangerous to bypass the enemy's main force and rush behind enemy lines.

After all, before achieving the strategic goal, he is the lone army that goes deep behind enemy lines.

Once the front line could not form an effective containment of the enemy's main force, he was temporarily unable to conquer the enemy city...... Under the front and back attacks, defeat is almost certain.

High returns, always with high risks.

But for Liu Chanjun, who had to seek a breakthrough in order to quickly break the deadlock, taking risks was often a helpless move.

This is true of Liu Chan's plan, and so is Guan Xing's proposal.

This is one of the strategic disadvantages that the weak have to face when trying to weaken the strong until they finally defeat the strong.

While you can't afford to lose, many times you have to take risks to create opportunities.

Not long after Meng Dajun's front foot passed by the east, Guan Xingjun, who had died down, boarded the boat from the blocked water.

Go west along the river, turn south from the fork of the river, and follow the water to Fangling.

Because it was going down the river, although it was later than Meng Dajun's departure, the time to arrive at Fangling was about the same.

Guan Xing also led 6,000 people to the city of Fangling.

"Listen to the defenders of the city!" Guan Xingce stepped forward immediately, and the long lance pointed directly at the head of the city, "Now the Cao army has been broken!" Xiahou Shang, Xu Huang, and Meng Da have all been ambushed! The Shen family has been migrated to Hanzhong by the crown prince. My main army will arrive in a few days, and if you don't open the city quickly to surrender, how long will you wait? ”

Guan Xing's words were similar to what Meng Da in Xicheng said, but the reaction of the defenders was completely different.

Shen Zhong, who discovered the enemy situation early, personally led the army to the city, and everyone was mentally prepared.

At this time, the defenders at the head of Fangling City were not prepared at all, and they hurriedly closed the city gate when they found the enemy army coming to the city.

After listening to Guan Xing's words again, several city guards suddenly panicked, and one of them hurriedly went down the city wall to find the Taishou.

Fangling Taishou Deng Fu is Meng Da's confidant, although he has been appointed to a county Taishou, he still obeys Meng Da's words.

Before helping Meng Da recruit troops and expand the army in Fangling, and now he has led 500 troops to defend the city, and Meng Da also trusts him.

It's just that Deng Fu is a person who can handle the daily affairs of the county, but his military sense and level are much worse than Meng Da.

At this time, the soldiers did not know about the arrival of the city, and they were still listening to music and drinking in the house.

Although there is no Mei Ji performance, there is also a newly bought maid on the side. I can't find a beautiful woman here, but it's better to be young, and this woman is naturally fair-skinned, not at all like the mountain people here, so that Deng Yuanjun can't put it down in recent days.

At this time, she was serving Deng Fu to drink, but she was not using an ordinary cup, but using a mouth......

"Hmmm......"

The cold winter is over, spring is coming, everything is coming back, and it is time for the animals to reproduce again......

"Envoy! Deng Zhijun——! ”

"Poof! cough cough cough ......" Deng Fu was startled, and choked on a sip of wine with the girl's saliva inside, and immediately coughed.

was sprayed with wine and saliva, and the disheveled girl hurriedly patted him on the back.

"It's not good to make you! It's not good to make a big deal for you! ”

Deng Fu was so angry in his heart, didn't I feel bad, I was so scared by you, my scalp was hard, and the hard place was soft, and I almost choked on my back, can it be okay? !

"Bastard!" After coughing for a while, Deng Fu, who was easy to recover, got up angrily and scolded, "What's the matter with yelling, if there is nothing important to report, you will be beheaded!" ”

"Envoy, Cao Jun and the Shen family have been defeated! Xiahou Shang, Xu Huang, and General Meng Da have all been killed, and the Shen family has migrated to Hanzhong! Now that the enemy vanguard has arrived in the city, the prince's army is approaching in a few days! ”

"What?!" Deng Fu took a few steps back, unable to believe his ears.

How is this possible? There is the elite of the Cao army and the troops of General Meng Da on the outside, and the Shen family, which has dominated the second county of Shangyong in Xicheng for many years, how could it be defeated? And lost so quickly!

"Envoy, envoy? Let's go to the top of the city! ”

Deng Fu hurriedly put on his coat and left the warm room and went to the city.

At first glance, I was shocked, it was really the Shu army soldiers coming to the city, it seemed that there were nearly 10,000 people, and there were only 500 defenders in Fangling...... How good is that?

Although Deng Fu panicked, he instinctively still couldn't believe that the matter was true, but the troops in front of him were absolutely not false, which made him fall into contradictions.

He forcibly held back his panic and stepped forward and shouted, "Who is under the city? Do you want to use tricks to deceive me? ”

Guan Xing led an army alone for the first time, and he still did such a big thing, but he actually didn't know the bottom in his heart.

It's not that I'm afraid that I'm in danger, but I'm afraid that I'll miss a major military incident.

But at this moment, seeing that this guard is as strong as this, he is so imposing even to ask, but he immediately calmed down.

After all, he is the son of Guan Yu, and after getting through the initial tension, Guan Xing quickly entered the state.

"Huh." He sneered and said disdainfully, "If the war is together, there will definitely be heavy casualties." The king of Hanzhong and the crown prince are benevolent, and they can't bear to die in vain, and the people in the city suffer from the war, so they ordered me to persuade with good words, but you think it's a plan? ”

Deng Fu hadn't recovered from the panic yet, and he didn't answer for a while.

Guan Xing pointed his finger and shouted: "The traitor is gone!" The prince only punishes the evil, and if you still have a benevolent heart, do not resist in vain. If you can protect the people and soldiers in the city, the prince will think of this, and he will spare your life! Don't be obsessed and mislead others and yourself! ”

After that, Guan Xing's verbal offensive was completely different from what Meng Da said.

There were no verbal threats, no words about what would happen if the city was broken, and the people in the city were still regarded as their own people, and even the defenders of the city were not placed on an opposing position.

The only thing in and out of the words is for the guard Deng Fu, you know that the general trend has gone, if you still resist stubbornly, it is to ignore the people and subordinates in the city!

The pattern is high-level and judgmental.

It's just that Deng Fu struggled for a long time, and he didn't believe that Cao Jun, the Shen family, and Meng Da could lose so quickly with such an advantage.

Xu Huang's reputation played a crucial role at this time, Deng Fu had heard of his name for a long time, and he had seen him and his soldiers not long ago, which was by no means in vain.

"Nonsense!" Deng Fu knew that if he surrendered this time, even if he didn't die, he would no longer have such a luxurious life as he had today, so he decided to risk his life and trust his instincts.

"General Komeito has been fighting for many years, and now with the help of the heroes and General Meng Da here, how can he be easily defeated by the hands of you! I follow the king of Wei, but I am going to follow the sky, and I am about to be a marquis and worship the general in the coming day, how can I fall into your evil plan and destroy my future? ”

After that, Deng Fu waved his hand: "If you want to attack, you will attack, otherwise Hugh will make noise and stir up good things here, and release arrows!" ”

Deng Fu's final reaction and decision seemed to be similar to Shen Zhong's.

However, when the soldiers around him heard his words, they didn't feel good in their hearts.

You just remember that you were a marquis, but you didn't mention us a word in and out of your words......

Everyone has promised to save everyone's lives after the opening of the city, and if you don't surrender now, isn't this forcing the brothers to their deaths?!

In a few days, the prince's army arrived, and 500 men defended the city...... Defend you X XXX!

Unlike the five hundred Red Star Army in Xicheng, the morale of the soldiers at the head of Fangling City plummeted, and they opened their bows and arrows like an errand, not to mention the accuracy, the arrows were not even soft and had no strength at all.

The stones that a child throws out with a slingshot are more powerful than that.

Looking at the rain of arrows in front of him, Guan Xing gradually smiled, and also did not order the siege of the city, and commanded the army to camp outside the city.

At the same time, the scouts kept an eye on the upper reaches of Zhushui and the land route leading to Fangling on the west side.

He also ordered his soldiers to shoot letters of persuasion to the city every day, and the words in the letters were sincere, all of which were words for the sake of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

The contents of the letter gradually spread among the literate men of the city, and the words were like knives, and every sentence pierced the heart.

The soldiers and civilians in the city were obviously scattered, but a strong chief in the Fangling garrison secretly showed a happy smile......
