Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

"Support Sun Shao and fight against Sun Quan."

Chen Yang considered this matter and said: "Since Yang Xiu can use Sun Shao to deal with Sun Quan, so can we. Sun Shao can be persuaded by Yang Xiu, or by us. As long as he is given enough benefits, he can do everything. Listen to us."

Although Chen Yang has not had contact with Sun Shao for a long time, he knows that this person is crazy, and he may not completely obey Sima Yi and others.

This kind of person is the best use for him.

Chen Yang continued: "As long as Wei Gong can recognize Sun Shao's identity, give him enough benefits, and all kinds of false promises, it is not impossible for him to rebel against Yang Xiu."

"Sun Shao!"

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then said: "If you find time, I will send someone to contact Sun Shao."

Chen Yang added: "In addition, we can also recover Jiaozhou and other places, and attack Jiangdong from the north to the south. However, this is the last step. We can't recover Jiaozhou for the time being, and we don't have the ability."

Even Sima Yi and Liu Yan couldn't cope now, how easy is it to regain Jiaozhou?

Cao Cao wrote down these methods first. If they can't do it now, it doesn't mean they won't be able to do it in the future. What they lack now is time.

After confirming these things, they each went to rest.

The next day, just as the sun was rising, they started to rush again and finally arrived at Fancheng in the evening.

It's just that it was Chen Yang who went to Fancheng, and Cao Cao changed his way back to Xiangyang.

Fancheng is in critical condition, and Chen Yang needs to be in charge to deal with the enemies outside the city.

Of course, Xiangyang will also be affected by Fancheng. It must be because people are in panic. Everyone is worried about whether to move the capital again. Cao Cao needs to go back to stabilize the morale of the army and stabilize the hearts of the people. He also needs to do it himself.

Guan Yu got the news of Chen Yang's arrival, and led his troops out of the city to greet him. After a bit of shabby weather, the two climbed up to the city gate and looked towards the enemy's barracks not far below the city.

"Yun Chang, how is the situation in the army recently?" Chen Yang asked.

"The coalition forces of Shu and Jin were led by Ma Chao and Gongsun Kang respectively. They teamed up and fought me five times, but I beat them all back."

Guan Yu said loudly: "However, there are too many enemies, and I just fight back. If I want to completely defeat them, I can't do it yet, so I can only stand in a stalemate with them here."

Chen Yang asked again: "Does Yun Chang have a clever plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Guan Yu shook his head, if he had a trick, he didn't need to ask Chen Yang for help.

Chen Yang said with a smile: "I have a plan, that is to wait, now it is almost midsummer, and I should be able to wait until the time to defeat the enemy."

Why can Zhong Xia defeat the enemy?

Guan Yu couldn't figure it out, but Chen Yang didn't explain it in detail, and it was inconvenient for him to ask, as long as he knew that Chen Yang's strategy was correct.

On the second day after Chen Yang came to Fancheng, there was another battle drum and thunder on the tower.

Gongsun Kang and Ma Chao each led 5000 men, gathered under the tower and launched an attack.

In the Jin army, unlike the Shu army, they also have artillery, and they fight much more fiercely than the Shu army.

When Ma Chao saw the powerful cannons, he was very envious, and wished that if he also had these cannons, would he need to be afraid of Chen Yang in the future?

No need at all!

Fortunately, the towers of Fancheng were reinforced with concrete and steel bars, which were very hard. Cao Jun's artillery was not much worse than that of the Jin Army. The two sides bombarded each other, and the smoke and dust filled the air.

The battlefield of hot weapons is different.

"In Fancheng, are there any three-bow bed crossbows?"

Looking at the gunpowder smoke outside the city, Chen Yang suddenly asked.

"There are thirty three-bow bed crossbows, but they are basically useless."

Guan Yu said.

"No, it can be used now. The bed crossbow is lighter than the artillery. I was thinking that the bed crossbow can be used to disrupt the enemy's artillery advantage."

Chen Yang pondered this idea many times in his mind, and said again: "Yun Chang, you take 2000 people out of the city and try to counter the artillery with bed crossbows. You must pay attention to flexible actions."

Guan Yu didn't suspect anything else, gathered 2000 people, pushed out [-] bed crossbows, opened the city gate and fought out.

He first used 500 people to kill the enemies outside the city who were about to attack the city, and then used 500 people to fight back with three bows and crossbows.

This effect is indeed very good, the bed crossbow moves flexibly, and loading the crossbow bolts is also simple and convenient, not as cumbersome as the artillery. After a while, half of the Jin army's artillery was destroyed by the bed crossbow.

Gongsun Kang saw the threat of the three-bow bed crossbow, and raised his spear to chase and kill Guan Yu.

"Thief general, seek death!"

Guan Yu snorted coldly, swung the Qinglong Yanyue Saber and counterattacked.

Gongsun Kang was not Guan Yu's opponent. After several rounds, he was almost slashed by Guan Yu, fell off his horse in embarrassment, and ran away in a hurry.

After Ma Chao followed Gongsun Kang, he also killed him, but was also repulsed by Guan Yu.

However, the soldiers of the two countries cut off Guan Yu's retreat from the left and right sides, and did not give him a chance to return to the city.

On the city floor.

"Zilong, you go out to meet Yunchang."

Seeing that Guan Yu was in danger, Chen Yang immediately sent Zhao Yun out.

Zhao Yun took 2000 people out of the city, broke through Ma Chao's siege, and returned to Fancheng to meet Guan Yu.

Ma Chao wanted to continue chasing and killing, but he heard a cannon from the city tower, and fragments from the shotgun splashed everywhere, forcing him to back up.

Then, the artillery shells were fired one after another, and fell one by one among the enemy troops.

The Jin army lost the convenience of artillery, it was difficult to contend, and the army was defeated like a mountain.

After this battle, the enemy did not come to attack the city again in the next three days, probably because they were scared by Chen Yang.

Chen Yang didn't take the initiative to attack either, because he was waiting for an opportunity, a great opportunity to completely defeat the enemy.

Because of this, he often looked up at the sky, only to see that there was no cloud in the sky, and couldn't help becoming anxious, because he was waiting for a rain.

Just three days later, the enemy came to fight against the city again.

"Yun's eldest son, Long, you go out of the city to fight."

After Chen Yang gave the order, he hesitated for a while, then went down the tower and asked people to prepare the equipment for the water battle.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yun and the two killed the enemy and almost broke the enemy's barracks.

It's just that Ma Chao and Gongsun Kang are not easy to deal with, so let them hold on.

It's another morning.

When soldiers came to report, the Shu army and the Jin army moved their camps.

"What's the place over there?"

Chen Yang boarded the tower, pointed to the direction of the enemy's new camp and said.

"That's a valley ten miles north of Fancheng, on the bank of the Xiangjiang River, called Yukou River."

Guan Yu has been stationed in Fancheng for such a long time, and he knows the geographical location nearby.

"We can almost win."

Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief. As he expected, there was only a heavy rain.

"Why are we so close to winning?"

Zhao Yun asked puzzledly.

"How long does it take for a fish to enter the mouth?"

Chen Yang laughed.
