Chapter 400: Boarding the boat and crossing the river

After all the grain and grass were carried and loaded, the Jingzhou army, which was ready to go, finally boarded the warship of the Northern Expedition again.

There were many veterans in the crowd who had participated in the last battle of Jingzhou, but this time their mentality was very different.

Not only because there was plenty of food and grass, but also because the armor and soldiers were all ready, and the warships were replaced with newly built large ships.

is even more because of the last battle of Jingzhou, Jiangling was almost ended, General Guan and the crown prince were still able to lead them to fight a bloody road, and in the end they even turned defeat into victory, and won Jiangdong to cede land and pay compensation......

Even if the opponent this time is replaced by Cao Ren of the Northern Wei Dynasty, what is there to fear?

"But after all, it is the Wei State led by Cao Ren, the general of Cao Wei."

"Yes, Cao's army is not weak in foot combat, and the cavalry is stronger...... A few days ago, I had actually secretly written a suicide note and sent it home with the money. ”

Some of the soldiers waiting in line to board the ship muttered quietly, their worries palpable.

"Hush." One of the veterans who walked in front snorted disdainfully.

The faces of the two suddenly couldn't hold back: "Who are you to laugh at us?" Usually you like to cheat and play tricks! ”

"That is, when General Guan personally rehearsed the battle formation, you didn't dare to be lazy, and relied on your qualifications every day to pay for the old mixed army...... There are a few people who know how great it is. ”

"Hey." The veteran was not in a hurry, but just turned around with a slightly contemptuous smile, "Lao Tzu fed the horses to General Guan back then, and Jiangling blocked arrows for General Zhao Lei, although he can't do it, and he is too old to climb up......"

Speaking of this, the veteran suddenly turned cold and said lightly: "But it's not enough to be scared to pee your pants by Cao Ren." ”

"Who the scared pee your pants?!"

"Yo, what a big breath, 'being Cao Ren'? Who are you? The other person laughed angrily, "People have led the army for many years and have made great achievements, but they will be talked about by you, a veteran ruffian." ”

The anxious voices of the two people unconsciously became louder, and some soldiers around them also began to look in this direction, but a few people were emotionally up, and they didn't notice it.

The veteran was also angry when he heard this: "Great achievements? Hehe, a defeated general, the Wei people themselves put gold on their faces, what are you coaxing? ”

"Huh? What is the defeat? The two recruits were stunned.

They were just angry for a while because of the attitude of this old fritter, and they didn't really have their hearts towards Cao Wei, so they immediately became curious when they heard this.

"You want to say flood the Seventh Army? But it wasn't him who was crushed? In the end, it was not to defend Fancheng, and this could not be regarded as a defeated general. One was still unconvinced.

"Then why did he leave more than 3,000 people to go to Fancheng? What about the army that was brought in the first place? ”

"Ah......h

The two recruits looked at each other, no, they hadn't thought about it, and no one had told them?

"It was Lejin who guarded Xiangyang back then, not Lu Chang." The veteran gradually became serious, "The northerners all said that they had retreated from Guan Yu when they entered Xiangyang, and then joined forces with Na Wenpin to break Guan Yu in Xunkou......

"If he can really defeat General Guan, why is General Guan still fighting in Jingbei after breaking the enemy twice, but Le Jin was quietly transferred to Hefei?"

"Uh......"

The two of them really didn't know a lot of things, and they were like listening to a story at this time.

"General Guan disdains to show off his bravery all day long." The veteran was obviously a little angry, "But you shouldn't even wait for these juniors to be kept in the dark." ”

"I don't know anything else...... Brother Zhang, can you tell me about it again? In the eyes of the two, the folds on the veteran's face seemed to be a lot more powerful, and the "veteran ruffian" directly became "Brother Zhang".

"Hmph, that Le Jin was transferred to Hefei, since he was so brave, why didn't he fight like Zhang Liao? Nothing to do after that? ”

"yes, why is that?"

"The elite under his command has long been wiped out by General Guan in Jingbei!"

“…… Yes? Their eyes widened in disbelief, unlike what they had heard from outside.

"Humph! How did Cao Ren only have 3,000 people left to hide in Fancheng, this time they understand, right? The veteran spat viciously, "But the defeated generals in one hand, the northern scholars are just lying and whitewashing, I'm afraid of his eggs!" ”

“……”

"Well said! I'm afraid of his eggs! ”

"Good! Let's follow General Guan and kill him again and return with a big defeat! ”

"Oh——!"

Before the two could speak, the onlookers broke out into cheers.

This veteran's old "gossip" unexpectedly boosted the morale of the soldiers on this boat.

It's just that when he saw that he had unknowingly become the focus of everyone, and he made such a big move, the old soldier had a bitter face - he was under Fu Wei, and that one was also a short-tempered ......

"These bunnies!" Sure enough, Fu Wei, who was talking to several generals in the distance, suddenly saw this kind of mess on the ship under his command, and his face immediately couldn't hold back.

Seeing that he was scolding and scolding, Zhao Lei smiled behind him and said, "It's almost there, and it's not a bad thing to have good morale." ”

Guan Yu stroked his beard and chuckled, obviously he didn't take it to heart, the big army fights, and it is normal to have this kind of small situation occasionally.

Not anyone's command can be like the prince's Red Star Army, like iron cast bronze people, the old man before and after the war to give himself courage, the real number is ordinary.

It's just that......

"I'm afraid these people won't be able to carry out their father's plan." Guan Ping said with a smile.

"It's okay, I didn't plan to send them up." Guan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, "If you don't get a big bait, how can you catch a big fish?" ”

Guan Ping's smile froze, and he gradually lowered his head, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Father, you sit in the rear, and wait for your son to catch the big fish...... Isn't it possible? ”

"Hehehe, my son has a heart, but it's just ......" Guan Yu's squinted eyes widened slightly, "If I don't show up, Cao Zixiao will not be at ease." ”

"......" Guan Ping didn't persuade him again, raised his head, but clenched the horse lance in his hand with a firm gaze.

There are some things that don't need to be said again, whether it is Liu Bei, who must be in charge of the expedition, Guan Yu, who has made such a plan, or Zhang Fei, who knows that he is a feint and is still tackling key problems at any cost.

This battle is a turnaround battle for whether the three brothers can realize their dream vows back then, and no matter what, it is impossible to sit in the rear safely.

Liu Chan understood, and Guan Ping at this time naturally understood.

"Let's go, although there is no power of wind and waves and water this time, there is the help of 'Beidou Mingyue'." Guan Yu lifted the treasure knife that he couldn't put down, and boarded the ship first, "You and I, father and son, will go to the battlefield together to punish the thieves!" ”

"Yes!"

The warships were loaded one after another, and sailed towards the north of the river.

Xiangfan and Xiangfan face each other across the river, and Cao Wei naturally saw such a big movement of the Han army.

"Huh...... It's a good time, it's a good time. Cao Ren, who got the news, had bloodshot eyes and muttered as if relieved.
