The same piece of information, depending on the degree of understanding, will eventually lead to completely different results.

Just like the judgment of Huang Zhong.

Cao Ren was not very familiar with the Xiangfan battlefield, so after he came, he went through the intelligence records left by Lejin overnight, as well as recruited Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Wenpin and other Jingzhou locals to participate in military planning.

Guan Yu's plan is not difficult to guess, send the division to Huang Zhong, a local, to take command, and build a pass to lock Xiangyang City according to the advantages of the topography of Da Xian Mountain.

In this way, there is a desperate way of the Han River in the north of Xiangyang, and there is a camp in the middle between two mountains in the south, so it is naturally difficult to move.

But it just so happened that Lejin was the best at attacking the city and destroying the village to capture the flag first, Cao Ren thought to himself.

Who is Huang Zhong? Kuai Yue and Cai Mao thought to themselves.

Therefore, Cao Ren's efforts to attack Fancheng are also faintly looking forward to Lejin.

But looking at the thin layer of water in the camp, Cao Ren came back to his senses, and this information seemed to be wrong.

"What's the situation with the mountains?"

Standing in the water, Cao Ren's face did not change and asked Kuai Yue.

At this time, it was already early in the morning, and since the forcible capture of Fancheng had failed, Cao Ren simply ordered the army to slowly retreat and build a wall, and then forced himself and his soldiers who had worked hard for several days to rest and make their heads clear again.

After all, the next battle will be even more difficult, and he will have to adjust his bad state.

Since hearing that Wancheng was besieged, Kuai Yue was a little distracted, and his face turned pale and he replied after half a beat:

"General Wenpin led his troops to check last night, Liu Beijun attacked the mountain capital, and relied on the Han River to confront."

"The veteran has good archery skills and has a bow and crossbow, and the suppression across the river makes it difficult to hide the gap in the embankment, so General Wen gathered his troops and returned."

Cao Ren thought about it for a while, and just said to himself:

"It seems that Lejin has been defeated, and Xiangfan has been lost."

Kuai Yue's face turned two points whiter, although he didn't understand how Huang Zhong's old leather defeated Lejin, but their Jingzhou department was responsible.

And Cao Ren didn't even bother to ask whether Cai Mao was dead or captured, and he had already expressed part of his attitude.

The sense of crisis in Kuai Yue's heart became stronger and stronger, so he also strongly suggested:

"When it is broken, it is broken, and now the general should quickly come to the aid of Wancheng."

Since Jingzhou was divided into two, Xiangfan has become the front line, and the people have moved to Tuntian, and set up Tuntian points in Xinye, Anzhong, Suixian and other places.

The big surnames were also moved inward, or moved to the capital or moved to the city of Wan, including the Kuai family.

Cao Ren didn't look at Kuai Yue, but just stared at Fancheng, who was almost taken, with a look of regret.

Of course, Wancheng has to be saved, in addition to the prime minister being there, there is a more urgent problem......

"There shouldn't be much grain and grass left for Cao Jun."

On Fancheng, Xu Shu analyzed with Zhao Lei while looking at it:

"Cao's army was already stretched thin with food and herbs, and he attacked in a hurry for three days, the soldiers did not stop day and night, and the cooking smoke in the camp was endless."

"If you want to make the soldiers serve their lives, when there is abundant food, the consumption of grain and grass is even greater than usual."

Zhao Lei also had a faint smile on his face:

"Now that we have fallen short, we have no strength to attack again, and we will definitely return quickly, not only to relieve the siege, but also to beg for food."

Fancheng has an open terrain to the north, so it can be seen clearly on the city wall, and since the battle, Cao Ying has sent one horse after another to the north, but few large baggage vehicles have come from the south to enter Cao Ying.

And the two of them can also see clearly that now there is not as much smoke rising from Cao Ying as in the past.

After one last glance at Cao Ying, Xu Shu went down the city wall.

After the Han River flooded, this battlefield became a muddy field, both good and bad.

The morale of the Cao army plummeted and Fancheng turned the corner, but it was also this muddy land that made Fancheng unable to take the opportunity to send troops to disturb the attack and delay the pace of Cao's army's return to the north.

One is powerless to attack, the other is powerless to chase, so it is better to plan early.

In Xu Shu's heart, the battle of Fancheng has ended, and he needs to find a way to bring more fresh troops, fight with Cao Ren to support speed, and join General Yunchang in Wancheng.

There were all kinds of thoughts turning in his head, and Xu Shu also quietly felt a little regret in his heart.

There are still too few men and horses on Xuandegong's side, and if there are 10,000 more soldiers and horses in this battle, there may be no need to spend so much time.

According to the unrealistic thoughts, Xu Shu urgently ordered:

"Hurry up and go to Xiangyang City and ask General Huang to come here."

"We need to leave immediately to help General Guan!"

When Ma Liang listened to the account of the messenger of Fancheng and hurriedly went to find General Huang, Wanchengbei had already entered a situation of confrontation.

In the evening of the previous day, 3,000 horsemen rushed to Bowang and ventured to build a pontoon bridge to rush to Wancheng.

However, Guan Ping, who was hiding in the county town of Xi'e, suddenly led 4,000 soldiers and horses to kill, broke the enemy in the middle of the crossing, and slightly captured and burned the pontoon bridge.

The plan to rush the ferry was shattered, and there were still enemy troops on the other side of the river, so Cao Cai's general simply ordered to be stationed on the spot across the river, waiting for the rear army to arrive and coerce the army to break it.

The next day, Cao Hong arrived with 7,000 paces, and couldn't help but curse when he looked at the Guan Ziqi that was hindering their advance.

As long as he is a general under Cao Cao, he has some opinions about Guan Yu.

However, Cao Hong did not impulsively order after scolding, but turned around and asked:

"If I wait a moment too late, my brother will be in danger, how does Wen Lie think he should break the enemy?"

"Uncle." Cao Xiu, Cao Wenlie and Cao Hong saluted:

"Wancheng is in danger, our army came with heavy grain and grass, although the battle will be won after a long time, but this battle can only be won quickly."

This simple argument coincided with what Cao Hong was thinking, so he immediately couldn't wait:

"Say it quickly."

Cao Hong knew that he had a few catties and taels, so every time he went out to the army, he would bring his young sons and nephews, one was to promote his closeness, and the other was to make up for his own shortcomings.

Thinking of this, Cao Hong couldn't help but feel a little pity, if he had known that his eldest brother was in danger here, he should have brought Cao Zhen with him.

However, it is also very important for Cao Zhen to lead troops in Yecheng to deter the surname, after all, the baggage of this trip is nine times out of ten dedicated by the surname.

Cao Xiu was three points excited and three points nervous, and of course he knew who it was on the other side.

He hadn't seen the White Horse break out of the siege with his own eyes, but he had seen with his own eyes how Liu Bei was defeated by Changbanpo, that Guan Yu was really invincible, why didn't Changbanpo take one as a thousand?

A Hedong outlaw, how can he compare to a family who is familiar with military strategy?

Cao Xiuzhi proudly put forward his own plan, he Cao Wenlie, should be a blockbuster!

After noon, Cao Jun once again began to build a huge pontoon bridge to cross the river.

When the pontoon bridge was launched, some soldiers went ashore as soon as possible, and then tried to form a formation with Paoze, in a vain attempt to stabilize the front and buy time and space for the Cao soldiers behind him.

In Cao's military camp, Cao Xiu sighed in his heart, it was a pity that Guan Yu was not there for such a good plan? It's like throwing a flattering eye to a blind man.

He saw that the young general who looked like Guan Yu took the lead, led the troops to fight bravely, and vowed to drive back the Cao army who crossed the river.

Soon it will be as you wish, Cao Xiuxin said.

Liu Bei's army pressed on the whole army, and the Cao soldiers who crossed the river soon ushered in a rout, and even some soldiers fled from the battle, counterattacking the main formation of the Cao army, and for a time the military formation also had a little turmoil, and the army formation as a whole began to retreat, as if it wanted to distance itself from the rout.

However, the rout of Cao's army was too ugly, Guan Ping hesitated, but then made up his mind and decided to chase after him again, and unconsciously led his troops across the middle line of the pontoon bridge.

That's it! Cao Xiu stood still and didn't move, looking forward to Liu Beijun entering the urn.

And at this time, in the county of Xi'e, there are hundreds of horsemen like arrows off the string, beating horses.

The leader is red and red-faced, dragging a knife and galloping.

Cao Xiu's eyes widened, and a wave of ecstasy surged into his heart: "Quick, retreat a little more, and bring him over!" ”

Cao Hong next to him wanted to stop talking, and he always felt a sense of chill all over his body.

But in fact, there was no need for so many reactions, and hundreds of horsemen entered the formation, rushing the already scattered formation of the Cao army even more scattered.

And in the middle, a horse burst in like a red ghost, dodging left and right without slowing down, and rushed over after swaying at Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu was furious in his heart, this Guan Yu actually regarded the army as nothing? The army is encircled, this fang will die, and the white horse will be killed, and he should really be invincible?

Slapping the horse forward, Cao Xiu stabbed sharply, but suddenly saw the fierce general leaning over to avoid the stab.

When he got up from the horse again, he saw that his legs were between the horse's belly, and he held the middle of the strange knife in one hand and the tail of the strange knife in the other, and the tip of the knife hanging on the ground drew a full moon.

Cao Xiu saw his uncle trying to block it, but the full moon swept across the lance without hindrance, and then the full moon entered the right abdomen from the left shoulder.

Cao Hong's eyes widened, and he fell from his horse with his head in the sky.

Guan Yu turned around from his horse, and the glaive knife slashed his head, and then provoked Qingtian with the tip of the knife:

"The thief will be beheaded! Wansheng! ”

Guan Ping was the first to respond, standing up and yelling: "Wan Sheng!" ”

Immediately, a stunned Cao soldier was poked through the piercing, and the soldiers behind him also understood what was happening, and shouted in unison for a while:

"Wan Sheng!"

As a result, the original deception turned into a real rout.

Cao Xiu, who had already rolled to the ground and didn't have the courage to break up, heard Guan Yu snort softly:

"You also want to follow the old story of the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

Cao Xiu was horrified in his heart, and secretly looked up only to realize that Guan Yu was talking about his uncle's corpse.

For a while, Cao Xiu couldn't help but feel sad, but he still suppressed his tears, and fled into the distance by blocking the rout with his horses.

Father Shang is still trapped in Wancheng, he can't die here!

He is Shang's father's thousand-mile horse, even if he dies, he will first carry Shangfu out of danger!

Guan Yuhun doesn't care about this, he and his third brother have few troops, the siege is already overwhelmed, the battle situation in Wancheng is still unclear, and wanton capture and surrender may be a drag.

Therefore, Guan Yu just rushed back and forth with his own soldiers, and after seizing his baggage, his Cao soldiers were completely dispersed in many directions.

After returning to the shore of the water, Guan Ping took the lead in greeting him:

"The general is brave!"

Guan Yu had no joy on his face, but asked rhetorically:

"Do you know it's a stratagem?"

He could see clearly in Xi'e County, and Guan Ping hesitated before catching up with the pontoon.

Guan Ping raised his head, and his words were sonorous and powerful:

"Knowing its deception, and seeing that it will move forward, you will know its death."

"There is a general sweeping the formation, what am I afraid of?"

Guan Yu was silent for a moment, this son was also quite popular, but he still said:

"If so..."

Guan Ping has already preemptively said:

"If there is no one to sweep the formation, drive its rout, burn its pontoon bridge, and then retreat."

It was rare for this unsmiling father and son to laugh out loud in unison.

Sacrifice a book.
