Pang Tong and Fa Zheng didn't have too many thoughts about Guanzhong from the beginning.

Chang'an is difficult to defend, Tongguan is difficult to attack, and the pass is erosive, and it is difficult to get it for a long time.

The fields are fertile and the people are rich, fighting for millions, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles, these are just the past.

Years after years of war, the people's livelihood withered, the fields were famine, and the displaced people were everywhere, this is the reality.

It is a must, but not now.

But Pang Tong knew that Cao Cao was quite afraid that Liu Bei would take advantage of the situation to seize the pass and take the foundation of the world's hegemony.

In this case, he simply ordered Huo Jun and Wei Yan to attack, not only to respond to Ma Chao, but also to make a gesture that was inevitable against Guanzhong.

But secretly ordered Zhang Fei to lead 5,000 elite soldiers, along the Han River passing through Hanzhong, and after arriving at the boundary of Jingzhou through Fangling Shangyong, he went straight to Wancheng.

"The flowing horse made by Zhuge Military Master is really easy to use!"

Under Wancheng, the two brothers have been separated for a long time, and even Guan Ping was squeezed aside by Zhang Fei, chattering to his second brother about what he had seen along the way:

"When I hit Yangping Pass before, I thought it was just a small boat that could transport grain and grass by two or three people."

"As a result, when the Pang military master in Hanzhong told me that the head and tail of the flowing horse are organically expanded and buckled, and they only need to be spliced together, and the flowing horse can become a simple boat."

"Guan Ping invited himself to be a pioneer, led 1,500 people down the river by flowing horse boat, and guarded the pass without news, which should be the first credit!"

Guan Ping, like Guan Yu, has always lacked expression on his face, but even though he was praised by the third uncle, he still tried to straighten his chest.

However, his father has always been stingy with compliments, and Guan Ping has long been used to it.

Unexpectedly, Guan Yu stared at his eldest son seriously, and said:

"Well done."

Zhang Fei said more energetically:

"I waited for several days at the west pass of Nagu City, and when I came, Master Pang said that Cao Jun must not have a good way to take your giant boat from the second brother."

"Pang Junshi is also from Jingzhou, and said that Cao Jun either cut down the Musai river and set it on fire, or intercepted the river to reduce the water level."

"Pang Junshi asked me to scout Guangsa, and when he saw Cao Jun going to the upper reaches of the Han River to cut trees or build soil, he played the banner of the eldest brother and took Wancheng directly, and the second brother and Xu Junshi will definitely cooperate."

Saying that, Zhang Fei touched his head and laughed:

"It's just that I didn't expect the second brother to take the lead!"

Guan Yu also had a shallow smile on his face, and for a moment, he patted his third brother on the shoulder, and then got up and opened the tent door.

The tall figure covered the tent door, and the tent could only see Wancheng facing the tent door through the edges and corners.

"Yide, this battle is the only way to win!"

Zhang Fei Huo suddenly got up:

"In order to break Wancheng, I am willing to listen to the general's dispatch!"

After the merging of the two sides, Guan Yu's commanders reached more than 10,000 people for a while, but they were still overstretched for siege.

Zhang Fei volunteered to take people to cut down trees around the city, and in the battle of Yangping Pass, he had already tasted the sweetness of the well and the ladder, and this trip brought two hundred craftsmen, that is, he was ready to attack the city, and Guan Yu had nothing to do.

Gan Gui returned quickly after transporting the soldiers, and they needed to transport as much grain, grass and ordnance as possible before the Cao army in Fancheng could react to the blockade of the water.

A little unexpectedly, when Fancheng passed through Xinye, he saw people surrounding the shore and waving to their fleet.

Gan Gui ordered the fleet to go first, and he slowed down to meet it.

"The general looks very raw, is he really under Uncle Liu's command?"

Someone laughed and joked when Tun Minzhong Deng:

"Didn't you see General Guan at the bow of the ship earlier? Can you still admit mistakes? ”

Gan Gui jumped off the boat, helped the old man to sit down and talk, and explained:

"I am a native of Yizhou, and I have only been defecting to Xuande Gong for more than a year."

The old man nodded, and his dry bark-like palm patted lightly on the back of Gan Zhuo's hand:

"We want to ask, is General Guan going to fight Wancheng?"

Gan Gui was a little embarrassed for a while, and someone in the crowd laughed:

"Little general, we all live in Xinye, and Wancheng is only a hundred miles away, before Uncle Liu came and Uncle Liu Huang left, how could this place have been peaceful?"

But Gan Gui is still embarrassed:

"There is military law, but I still can't say this."

The old man nodded, and then asked:

"Is General Guan short of food?"

Gan Gui's heart trembled, he supervised the soldiers in Jiangdong, and the people's attitude towards him was vigilant, and later he joined the lord and entered Yizhou for the first time, and the people's attitude towards him at that time was scrutiny.

And this new wild people......

Gan Gui turned her face away and said sullenly:

"I just want to transport food to General Guan, please rest assured, General Guan will not be hungry."

After speaking, Gan Gui pulled his feet and left, but after taking two steps, he turned back and said:

"General Guan will win this battle, you only need to take care of yourself, Cao thief from the relevant general to drive away, rest assured!"

After saying that, Gan Gui jumped on the boat, and the boat was like an arrow from the string, galloping along the downstream, leaving behind dozens of longing residents.

Zhao Ah finally saw the kind of war that Li Gong depicted.

After the giant ship anchored, he was transferred to the command of the young General Gan with the requisition of General Guan.

What he did was not much different from that on a big boat, transporting grain, grass and ordnance.

Only one day after sending General Guan to the north, the mouth of Jinkou where the Han River entered the Huaishui was blocked by Cao's army, and General Gan's order was to kill him.

One of the ships was full of sails, and without hesitation it crashed into the blockade of Cao's army on the water, and the sailors who operated the boat jumped at the last quarter of an hour and swam to other boats.

The Cao army on the shore began to release arrows, and Zhao A's body trembled a little, but he still buried his head and followed General Gan's orders to rush through the blockade and continue north.

Cao Jun's arrows rained non-stop, and after chasing for a while, he retreated, Zhao A looked back, there were many more corpses of his comrades in the water, and the surrounding river water had been dyed red, and these robes were motionless, slowly drifting downstream with the flow of the water.

Zhao A remembered what Li Gong said about Surabaya when Cao Jun slaughtered Xuzhou, and he only thought it was an exaggeration at the time, but now he is speechless.

Regarding the blockade of Shuishuijinkou, Gan Gui only silently received dozens of crossbows in Dangyangdu after turning back, and equipped each ship with one.

This kind of thing simplified by Huang Yueying according to the idea of the big three bows is simple to use, Zhao A had sent a lot of them to Fancheng to the defenders, and now the waterway in Fancheng is temporarily blocked, and the rest is just used by Gan Gui.

General Guan was busy enough, Gan thought to himself.

Guan Yu's face was indeed a little serious at this time, Guan Ping was sent out by him to explore the north, and he brought back bad news.

There is a small county town in the north of Wancheng, which is famous and famous, and the low wall is only more than half a person high, so it cannot be called any defense.

Relying on the identification of the people, Guan Ping easily captured the Bowang County Order, and learned a not good news:

"On the order of Prime Minister Cao, I borrowed grain to comfort the soldiers and horses of Yecheng."

Therefore, Guan Yu can be said to be a mixed blessing, Xu Junshi's plan to attack the commander seems to be a little too good.

And how many soldiers and horses are there in this Yecheng army? Who is the leader? I don't know.

"Cao Thief doesn't have much food and grass in total, so there should be at most three or five thousand people, right?"

Zhang Fei touched his chin and guessed.

"I'm already the prime minister, so I won't eat people anymore, right?"

Guan Yu snorted coldly:

"If you rob the people, why worry about food?"

"From tomorrow, the third brother will attack the city with me!"

Everyone understands Cao Jun's so-called borrowing grain, but he is just borrowing your cash grain now, and he will exempt you from paying half of the tax when he returns.

As for whether the borrowed cash ration is the only ration? Nobody cares.

As a result, Wancheng's attack and defense became more and more anxious, and even Cao Cao himself carried a sword to run the east wall to the south wall and the north wall to boost morale and save the emergency by the way.

"Why don't you send a team of elite cavalry to break through and go south for help." It was suggested.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and refused:

"Now that Guan Yunchang is here, it can be seen that Fancheng's attack and defense have reached a critical point."

"As long as you can break through Fancheng, you can seal the water, and Guan Yunchang and Zhang Fei will be unable to escape."

"At this time, Fancheng will definitely fall short."

Cao Cao is no stranger to this situation, Guandu is like this, and so is White Wolf Mountain, as long as he can persist in passing through, he will be able to win!

Cao Cao believed it so much, and he still remembered Le Jin in his heart: such a good opportunity, it's time to move, right?

Lejin judged the same.

Most of the Shazhou, which can only be seen, has been exposed, and in Xiangyang City, you can see that Fancheng has been surrounded.

Although I don't know why the sailor changed boats, I can also see that the sailor and the Cao army at the ferry are fighting fiercely.

At this time, no one can restrain themselves, and if they don't go south to relieve the siege at this time, when will they wait?

After nearly a month, Xiangyang City took the initiative to open the city gate again.

Le Jin led 5,000 horsemen out of the city and went straight to the yellow flag.

The geographical location of Xiangyang City is special, the north is Hanshui, the south is two mountains, from the road between the mountains, it is a plain, the end is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Previously, when Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou, he set the governance office in Xiangyang, and the water trainer built a strong city, and he was dominant for a while.

But at this time, this terrain restricts Lejin's play, and he wants to bring more soldiers and horses, but the two mountains are really unable to be used.

Riding his horse and galloping, Le Jin rushed to lead the charge at the front, which was the way he was most familiar and best at fighting.

With such a big movement, Huang Zhong had naturally seen it a long time ago.

Holding his breath and concentrating, he silently counted the time in his heart, and when Le Jin rushed halfway, Huang Zhong opened his bow and shot an arrow into the sky.

The shaft of the arrow is hollow, and it emits a sharp pop when it tears through the air.

Following Huang Zhong's signal, the soldiers hiding in the mountains and forests used all their strength to cut the rope in front of them, and the boulder that had been prepared began to tumble down the hillside as the rope broke, and the target was the galloping Lejin.

Lejin whistled, and about 1,000 horsemen accelerated with Lejin, and the cavalry behind slowed down to avoid the rolling stones.

Huang Zhong didn't panic at all, he rode quietly on his horse, watching Le Jin lead the cavalry through one trench after another, and there were fewer and fewer knights who could follow Le Jin.

Le Jin secretly hates, but he is not afraid, as long as he can kill the main general, he can make a final decision, this is the survival of the general who is the first to enter the battle!

When he was only five hundred steps away from Huang Zhong, Le Jin scolded:

"Veteran! Pure deceit, can you dare to fight? ”

In Le Jin's happy gaze, he saw that the veteran also began to speed up, heading towards him.

Abandon the archery? That's it!

Le Jin roared out to the soldiers around him, and then danced his lance and ran towards the veteran's door.

Huang Zhong was proud in his heart, and he also shouted:

"Whoever beheads you, Huang Zhongye!"

Le Jin was furious in his heart, he saw that the veteran held the lance in his left hand, hit the lance with his right elbow, the lance bent when it landed, and then violently rebounded and collapsed on his lance, and a strong force was transmitted along the lance, so that he almost couldn't hold the weapon.

Is this really a veteran? Le Jin was horrified.

But Huang Zhong didn't give him so much time to think, and after his right elbow collapsed the opponent's weapon, he quickly probed down, and the saber that had followed him for decades was pulled out by him and flirted with his hand.

A canopy of blood was sprinkled in the air, and the stars fell on Huang Zhong's white hair, and for a while, no one in the cavalry of the Cao army dared to laugh at this was a veteran, and everyone understood that this was a blind look.

And Huang Zhong turned around and said secretly in his heart:

"Xu Junshi's plan is really useful."

Just now, the long lance in the left hand has also fallen off, and only the long knife in the right hand has been removed.

But the veteran was not afraid, and the long knife was raised and pointed at Cao Qi.

Rolling thunder echoed through the valley:

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

The author is indeed a newcomer, so it always feels bad to write new things, and everyone has opinions to mention it.
