Chapter 119: Liu Chan offers a plan, Guan Yu is convinced!
Early the next morning.
Under Guan Yinping's service, Liu Chan put on his clothes neatly and walked out of the room.
Today, the two of them are wearing military uniforms, slightly slim, similar to Hu clothes.
In the school field of the General's Mansion, early in the morning, someone practiced martial arts on it.
"That's my big brother."
Liu Chan also saw that the young military general practicing swords on the school field was his eldest brother Guan Ping.
Guan Ping held a single knife in his hand, stood on the school field with a steady posture, and stepped on the footwork with clear directions. With a slight twist of his wrist, the blade flew like a dragon, and his whole body seemed to jump with it.
His sword technique seems to be unremarkable, but when the blade dances in the air, it is full of indescribable agility. With each swing, his body seemed to turn into an extension of the blade, deftly shuttling through the air, making people fascinated to watch.
Guan Ping didn't use any tricks, but with pure knife skills, he was able to dance a single knife with a unique charm. His knife is fast but not chaotic, ruthless but not offensive, and every swing is accurate, giving people a feeling of ruthlessness.
Liu Chan has also practiced swordsmanship, and compared with Guan Ping's swordsmanship, his is not enough.
Not to mention anything else, if he is against Guan Ping, within more than ten rounds, I am afraid that he will be defeated.
"Good knife technique!"
Liu Chan clapped his palms and walked to the school field.
"Your Highness, little sister."
Guan Ping stopped practicing the knife and saluted Liu Chan slightly.
At this time, the sun has not yet risen, and the heat of midsummer has not yet been fully manifested.
Especially in the past few days, the rain has been continuous, and the air is not stuffy.
But even so, Guan Ping, who had practiced the knife technique for a quarter of an hour, was already covered with fine sweat on his forehead.
"Your Highness is here to practice?"
Guan Ping threw the single knife in his hand to Liu Chan, Liu Chan took it freehand, weighed the weight of the single knife, and estimated that it weighed more than 20 catties.
"I'm no match for my uncle."
Guan Yinping is eager to try on the side.
"Big brother, why don't you let me come and learn from you."
"No!"
Guan Ping looked at Liu Chan with a smile and said, "Brother-in-law, let me see how powerful you are!" ”
"Brother!"
Guan Yinping glared at Guan Ping, she stomped her foot lightly, and her face suddenly flushed.
Guan Ping took Guan Yu's feet in vain yesterday, and he also helped Liao Hua on duty all night last night, which was a little resentful in his heart.
Especially those two feet, it was obvious that he was the one who was harmed by the pond fish.
Kick this kid too, why kick me?
When he thought of last night, he was very angry.
I'm standing guard outside, and you're riding a horse in bed?
It just doesn't make sense!
"Then I'll ask my uncle to teach me."
Liu Chan adapted to the weight of the single knife in his hand, he looked at Guan Ping, and there was also a sense of war in his eyes.
Guan Ping is holding a long knife, with a tall posture and an extraordinary temperament, like a sword god. Liu Chan was holding a single knife, looking a little restrained, but he still tried his best.
The sword flashed, and the two began a fierce duel. Guan Ping's knife skills are sharp, and every swing of the knife is like a sharp arrow, fast and accurate. His figure is sometimes like flowing water, sometimes like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the sword light is like a shadow, which makes people dizzy.
Liu Chan was not to be outdone, although his knife technique was slightly stiff, but each knife was accurate and full of strength. He was like a nimble swimming snake, sometimes bending, sometimes jumping, trying to find an opportunity to break through the Guan Ping Sword Formation.
The two fought for more than a dozen rounds, and Guan Ping took the initiative to use force to bounce Liu Chan out.
"Your Royal Highness is still young, and your sword skills are at such a level, and your strength will be great in the future, I'm afraid that I won't be your opponent."
Liu Chan didn't know that it was his uncle's subordinates who showed mercy.
"Uncle's swordsmanship is unparalleled, Zen admires!"
A martial artist like Guan Ping doesn't have too much accounting.
It's all in the wine, it's all on the school floor.
After having a try with Liu Chan and knowing that Liu Chan was a scholar who was powerless, Guan Ping's attitude towards Liu Chan was much more enthusiastic.
He put away the long knife, stepped forward meaningfully, and said softly: "I know a lot of things about my little sister, tonight you and I drink bitterly, I will talk to you carefully." ”
Looking at Guan Ping's frowning appearance, Liu Chan knew in his heart that he was afraid that this matter was all Guan Yinping's troubles when he was a child.
"Good! Drink it tonight! ”
I had a good relationship with my father-in-law last night, and now, I naturally want to have a good relationship with my eldest brother.
Guan Yinping stepped forward with a suspicious expression.
Obviously, the smell of gunpowder is still full, why do you have to hook your shoulders now?
"Little sister, come and try it with you!"
Guan Yinping was eager to try when she heard this, she took out a spear from the weapon rack, and immediately rushed to the school field to compete with Guan Ping.
She was dressed in light arms, and her long hair was tied up on her head, revealing her slender neck, which set off her heroic posture. The spear in Guan Yinping's hand was horizontal, like a silver light slashing through the air, and he suddenly rushed towards Guan Ping.
Guan Ping was not afraid at all, holding the knife in his hand, quietly waiting for the other party's attack. When Guan Yinping's spear stabbed at him quickly, he quickly dodged to the side, and slashed at Guan Yinping's body with a swing of his sword.
Guan Yinping shrewdly dodged Guan Ping's attack, and then the spear in his hand danced wildly like a dragon, and the silver light appeared dazzlingly. She swung her spear quickly, each time more powerful than the last, stabbing at Guan Ping's vital point.
Although it was a competition, Guan Yinping knew that his martial arts were not as good as Guan Ping, and every move was going all out.
"Yes, Feng'er's martial arts have improved slightly, and she is worthy of being my daughter Guan Yunchang!"
Guan Yu's voice suddenly came from his side.
I saw Guan Yunchang wearing a green robe and a short shirt, holding a long beard in his hand, watching Guan Ping and Guan Yinping compete on the school field, with a smile on his face.
"Nephew to see uncle."
"Huh?" Guan Yu glanced sideways at Liu Chan.
"The son-in-law visits his father-in-law," Liu Chan decisively changed his words.
"Hmm!"
Guan Yu stroked his beard and said, "Just now, you and Ping'er are fighting, and I also have a view, but there are still two times, which is not an insult to the prestige of the eldest brother." ”
He received Pan Jun's report yesterday and learned about the situation in Jiangling that day, and after corresponding to what Liu Chan said, he was sure that what Liu Chan said before was true, and his impression of Liu Chan in his heart was better.
My good son-in-law, a young man, first pacified Nanzhong in March, and was not afraid of danger, made a decision immediately, planned the plan, broke Sun Quan's conspiracy, and captured Lu Meng, the governor of Jiangdong.
So...
The more Guan Yu looked at Liu Chan, the more satisfied he became.
"This time Feng'er and Ping'er, who will win?"
Liu Chan smiled lightly and said, "Be the eldest brother." ”
"Yes, although Feng'er has elegant marksmanship, she has a lot of flowers, Ping'er has been fighting on the battlefield for many days, and she knows how to kill with one blow!"
As soon as Guan Yu's words fell, Guan Ping found a good opportunity and slashed at the gap of Guan Yinping, who couldn't deal with it, and the spear was immediately picked out.
"Little sister, I agreed." There is a smug look on the surface of the close.
"Big brother's martial arts are still so strong!"
Guan Yinping felt a little regretful in his heart.
In the battle, she almost won several times, but unfortunately, it was only a little bit short.
But this little bit, on the battlefield, can decide a person's life and death.
Guan Yinping saw Guan Yu under the school grounds, and her frustration quickly dissipated, and she jumped forward.
"Father, can my daughter improve her marksmanship?"
"It's a lot better than before."
Guan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his originally serious expression directly became kind after seeing Guan Yinping.
"Gonghei, you are in charge of this negotiation with Jiangdong?"
"Exactly down there."
"Since you have passed the edict of reward, you can go back to Jiangling, if Jiangling is guarded by you, I am relieved, if there is no you, I am uneasy."
"It doesn't really matter if you stay for a few more days." From Gangneung to Xiangyang, and from Gangneung to Jianye, the distance is not the same.
"Jiangdong rats, maybe they have two hearts, in case they secretly raise troops to attack, and Jiangling is not very prepared, what should they do?"
Although Guan Yu is proud, he marches and fights, and he is not really reckless.
He has arranged all the matters.
"At this point, the son-in-law has also taken into account, I have ordered the military division to go up and down the river, or twenty miles, or thirty miles, and select Gaofu to dispose of a beacon tower, each with fifty troops to defend it; If Wu soldiers cross the river, there will be open flames at night, and smoke will be raised during the day. If there is a change in Jiangling, in an instant, it will be the father-in-law in Xiangyang, and you can also know the news. ”
"That's great!"
Guan Yu was very satisfied with Liu Chan's arrangement.
Then, Guan Yu took out the longbow from the weapon rack.
"Can you pull this bow?"
Guan Yu has a strong bow in his hand, and it is difficult for non-wrestlers to pull the string like a full moon.
"Maybe you can give it a try."
How can it be said that his archery skills have also been practiced for two and a half years, is it unusual?
Liu Chan took the strong bow and pulled it hard, and really pulled it for him, of course, it was only more than half of it, and it was enough to shoot arrows, but it was okay to shoot fifty steps, and one hundred steps was a little reluctant.
"Good strength."
Seeing that Liu Chan was able to pull the strong bow apart, Guan Yu was even more satisfied.
"Although you are not very old, but you first level Nanzhong, and then set Jiangling, you can be regarded as having military experience, and you can even turn things around in a crisis, you must also have a strategy, now that I occupy Xiangyang, how should I attack Fancheng?"
"Uncle Yue has gone to Xiangyang, but now is not the time to attack, but to take the lead in thinking about holding Xiangyang, a military land!"
"Oh? Now that Cao's army has been newly defeated, isn't it to take this opportunity to settle Fancheng in a battle, and then attack Xudu and threaten Luoyang? Now is not the time to attack, what do you say? Guan Yu frowned slightly, it was obvious that what Liu Chan said was far from what he thought.
"Nanyang, where the light and martial arts are prosperous, there are high mountains and mountains that can be controlled, and there are wide cities and plains that can be stationed. It is adjacent to Guanshan in the west, and soldiers can be summoned; East to Jianghuai, can transport millet; Nantong Jinghu and Bashu, you can take goods; The north rejects Sandu, and rescue can be sent. ”
Liu Chan looked at Guan Yu with a faint gaze, and then said with a sigh of relief: "Xiangyang is the gateway to Nanyang, occupy Xiangyang, you can get Nanyang!" ”
The Nanyang Basin is like a revolving door between Guanzhong, Hanzhong, the Central Plains and Hubei, which can be entered on all sides and attacked on all sides.
With the hinterland of the basin as the center, it can be traced up along the main stream of the Han River to the west, and can enter the Hanzhong area; Northwest into Wuguan can enter Guanzhong; From Xiangyang to the Han River, you can enter the two lakes area; From the Xichuan River valley to the Keren Yiluo River Valley; The eastern part of the mountain has many leaks, and it can enter the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Controlling Xiangyang is equivalent to controlling the Han River and controlling the Nanyang Basin in disguise.
For the north, as long as Xiangyang is in hand, ships can go down the Han River to the east and enter the Yangtze River; Or by land, go straight to Gangneung Castle.
As far as the south is concerned, as long as it controls Yangyang, the north has no chance on the Han River. By defending a city, you can ensure the security of the entire middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
"Xiangyang is the shape of the place of victory, Yuezhang will capture it, it has been a great achievement, if you can capture Fancheng, you can advance, Wancheng, Xudu, Luoyang, this I naturally know, but how many soldiers do I have in Jingzhou?"
Without waiting for Guan Yu to answer, Liu Chan immediately continued: "It's only thirty or forty thousand, and Cao Cao can gather hundreds of thousands of soldiers, how can he compete with him?" ”
"When Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao's million-strong army in Guandu, it was only 350,000 elites, and in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, we defeated Cao Cao's million-strong army in Chibi, and it was only 350,000 soldiers.
Guan Yu is very arrogant, he is a fierce man who can take the head of a general in a million army, and there is the battle of Chibi and the battle of Guandu, Guan Yunchang has a strong fighting spirit, and there is no fear in his heart.
Now that the grain and grass are sufficient, of course, it is a good time to raise troops to attack Fancheng and threaten Wancheng and Xudu!
"Cao Cao has an army of millions, he can be defeated, he can be defeated, he can be defeated, but our army can not be defeated, a defeat will be a defeat, then the newly obtained Xiangyang will be difficult to defend, Jiangling is in danger of not being protected, and once Jiangling is not guaranteed, Jingzhou will be lost, Jingzhou will be lost, then the father will be difficult to succeed, this crime, can the father-in-law bear it?"
Revive the Han Dynasty and return it to the old capital.
This is Liu Bei's lifelong wish, if it is difficult for his eldest brother to succeed because of his loss of Guan Yunchang, he will be under Jiuquan, and it will be difficult for him to rest in peace.
"If you don't attack now, when will you wait?" Guan Yun bent his bow and shot arrows, and he didn't need to aim much, and he shot the head of the straw man eighty paces away at once.
"Yuezhang was in a hurry to attack before, it was nothing more than a lack of military food, and Cao Mengde couldn't afford it, now there is Jiangdong grain and grass to help, no worries about grain and grass, so he has the confidence to consume with the Wei army, naturally there is no need to make dangerous moves, and when Sun Quan to Jianye raised troops, drove directly to Hefei, and attracted the Wei troops, then our army will raise troops to attack Fancheng, and then approach Wanluo, isn't it more likely to succeed?"
Liu Chan's words made Guan Erye fall into deep thought.
"You're right."
Before, he was in a hurry to fight a decisive battle with the Wei army, and he did not hesitate to take risks, completely because of the problem of grain and grass.
Now that the food and grass are worry-free, there is a more secure way, and it is natural to choose.
"Of course, if there is an excellent fighter, Uncle Yue can't let it go."
This torrential rain is repeated, if it can be like the original history, flood the Seventh Army, and take Fancheng, then it would be great.
But if Fancheng is taken, it will inevitably cause Cao Cao's army to come in person.
Just as Xiangyang is important to the south, Fancheng is also important to the north.
Once Jingzhou broke through Fancheng, it had a bridgehead on the north bank of the Han River.
At that time...
Guan Yu can lead the army under his command and threaten Wanluo and the Central Plains.
If Fancheng is not snatched back, then Cao Cao will have only one way to move the capital.
At that time, the reaction of Wei will inevitably be fierce, and when Cao Mengde will do his best to fight against Wei, it will be another decisive battle.
The battle of Hanzhong was just over, and the people of Yizhou were in difficulty, and if it was a local war, the Shu Han side could still stand it.
If it's an all-out war, if it's been a long time, it's unbearable.
Moreover...
When it came to the stage of all-out decisive battle, the importance of Jiangdong was suddenly highlighted again, and at that time, the world would change, and to what extent the situation would develop, even Liu Chan, as a later generation, was difficult to predict.
"That's a good point."
After listening to Liu Chan's analysis, Guan Yu initially agreed with his views as a good son-in-law.
If there is a good fighter, then fight, if not, wait for the situation to change!
"Cao Mengde is dying of old age, I think it will soon be in the world, when the world changes, I will take Fancheng, but it is just a gesture."
Will Mende die soon?
Yun Chang was stunned for a moment.
"Where did you get this news?"
It's hard for Liu Chan to say that he read history books, right?
"On a whim, in a dream."
Fortunately, in this era, any problem that cannot be explained can be handed over to dreams.
"I see."
Regarding the warning in the dream, Guan Yu believed it.
When he set out to attack Xiangyang, he had a dream.
In the dream, he suddenly saw a pig, as big as an ox, and all black, and ran into the tent, and bit his foot. Yun Chang was furious, and hurriedly drew his sword to cut it, and the sound was like a crack. Suddenly I realized that it was a dream. I felt that my left foot was in pain, and I was suspicious.
It was Guan Ping who explained the prophecy for him, saying: "Pigs also have dragon elephants." The dragon is attached to the feet, which means to rise, and there is no need to be suspicious. ”
The ministers under the account also said that it was auspicious, and sure enough, when Fang went to Xiangyang, he won a victory, and he didn't waste much strength, and he had already won the important town of Xiangyang.
If you feel it in a dream, it's real!
"In this way, I will prepare the army in Xiangyang and train the soldiers, so that the time will change!"
"Of course... Don't sit still! ”
Don't let Guan Yu defend the city and sit back and wait for him to die because of Liu Chan's words, it won't be beautiful.
"I am good at observing the heavenly phenomena, there will soon be heavy rain downpouring, all of them may be attacked by water, in addition, Yuezhang captured Xiangyang, someone in the Wei State will respond, you can send a messenger, saying that the loyal Han guards, Cao Wei Lianglu mountain bandits, attack the rear of the Wei State, so that they can not care about each other!"
In Jiangdong, Liu Chan has already made great efforts, Jiaozhou, Guangzhou, Changsha County, Shanyue Yimin...
These items alone are enough for Sun Quan to be anxious.
No matter how chaotic the Wei State is, under the elimination of one and the other, how can he not be strong in Shu Han?
"Does Wei have anyone responding?"
Guan Yu's eyes lit up.
"Of course, my father is the Zhengshuo of the Han family, and Cao Cao is a thief! Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the heart of the people of Nanyang is not in Cao in Han, the longer the conquest, the more the people's hearts are lost, and there will inevitably be those who will rise up, if they can contact it, they are afraid that Fancheng will not fall? Is the royal hegemony unsuccessful? ”
After all, when marching and fighting, it must be to levy conscription and supply grain and grass, and Nanyang bore the brunt of the Xiangfan War.
In the original history, the officials and people in the Nanyang area could not bear the suffering of forced labor, and under the leadership of the Wancheng guards Hou Yin and Wei Kai, they raised an incident and prepared to unite with Guan Yuli, the Jingzhou guard general on the Shu Han side, to rebel against the Cao Wei regime.
It's a pity that the Jiangdong rats attacked behind the back, so that Guan Yu was defeated and took Maicheng, and Cao Rendekong, who was responsible for guarding Jingzhou, led the troops to besiege it, and finally slaughtered Wancheng, Hou Yin was beheaded, and the rebellion failed.
Now that it has been born again.
The fate of these people, the outcome of these things, he Liu Chan is naturally going to change!
"You're right!"
Guan Yu's eyes became brighter and brighter.
If Guan Yu only thought in his heart that Liu Chan was resourceful before, he could join the military as a staff officer.
But now that I hear Liu Chan's words, it is focused on the world, not the gains and losses of one place and one city!
This is the king's talent!
There is a successor to the lord!
Guan Yunchang sighed in his heart, and he said to Liu Chan seriously: "With His Royal Highness's words, how to do it, something is known." ”
If Guan Yu also regarded Liu Chan as his son-in-law and nephew, now after listening to his words, the admiration in his heart also made him face up to the fact that Liu Chan is the heir to the regime.
This is not only his son-in-law, but also the crown prince of Hanzhong!
With His Royal Highness here, why worry about the Han family?
