Chapter 287 Han Wei vs. Fan Yan Battle
Xu Chu, who hurried southward, brought Cao Pi's imperial decree to Zhang Liao's camp soon after.

And the reason why Cao Pi ordered Zhang Liao to take the initiative to attack, the biggest purpose is to avenge his shame.

So when Xu Chu went south to Yancheng with the imperial edict, Cao Pi specially sent many envoys to convey his edict to the whole Nanyang County.

Since it is for shame, then this war must be fought to attract attention. Only in this way can he save the face of the Great Wei Emperor.

Cao Pi just wanted to let everyone in the world know what it is to be angry with the emperor, what is to punish the people and punish crimes, and what is the teacher of the king.

So on the day Xu Chu arrived in Yancheng, almost all counties in Nanyang County except Yancheng and Fancheng got the news.

In an instant, dozens of counties in Nanyang County began to boil.

The hundreds of thousands of people living in Nanyang County also focused their attention on the Fan Yan area where the army gathered.

All the officials and scholars in Nanyang County who are loyal to the Great Wei all have great confidence in this decisive battle that is about to start.

It is true that in the past two years, Liu Bei's power has expanded very rapidly.

Even under the play of Guan Yu and Mi Yang, the forces headed by Liu Bei won several victories that shocked the world.

But if you look closely at those big victories, from the battle of Hanzhong to the most recent big victory in Qiyue, the Han army mostly used geographical advantages or tactics.

A big victory is a big victory, but there is almost no case of defeating the Wei army head-on in the field.

This was the case even during the Battle of Hanzhong.

Emperor Wu's retreat from Hanzhong was not because he was defeated by Liu Bei in a decisive battle, but there were many factors.

So no matter how great the Han army has won in recent years, people in the world will inevitably form an inherent impression while admiring or fearing.

The Han army is good at using tactics. If they use their troops carefully, it will be difficult for the Han army to win.

This inherent impression is formed naturally.

In addition to the above reasons, the formation of this inherent impression is also due to the current pattern of the North being strong and the South being weak, and the deep-rooted prejudice that the South is all barbarians formed in the hearts of the Chinese people for thousands of years.

Barbarian soldiers, in terms of confrontation, how can they defeat the northern Huaxia Zhengshuo Heavenly Soldiers?
And this kind of inherent impression, in essence, has greatly affected the support of the people of the world.

Why did many dynasties in later generations designate Cao Wei as Zhengshuo and Ji Han as the separatist forces?
Why do many outstanding talents in the current world prefer to start from the middle and lower levels of Cao Wei, such as Xu Shu, Meng Jian, etc., rather than come to Ji Han Gao?
Why is there always a capitulation faction inside Ji Han, and even though there are constant internal struggles within Cao Wei, sometimes there is a rare unanimity when it comes to the outside world?
All kinds of situations that are extremely unfavorable to Ji Han are caused by the inherent impression at the beginning.

Under the influence of this inherent impression, most of the people who were loyal to the Wei family knew that Cao Pi had ordered the dispatch of troops, and there was a feeling of joy in their hearts.

Many people are expecting the great Wei Tianbing to defeat the Han army in the field, just like the hearty victories that Emperor Wu achieved when he was alive.

Under the influence of this inherent impression, when Zhang Liao outside Yancheng received Cao Pi's imperial decree, although he had concerns in his heart, he did not have a great sense of crisis.

Even though Cao Pi is not outstanding in martial arts compared to Cao Cao, he still understands the truth that a snake can't do without a head.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the great Wei can win this battle, Cao Pi formally sorted out the leadership system of the Wei army in this imperial decree that has gradually attracted the attention of the world.

The chief general of the more than 7 Wei army is Wei General Zhang Liao, and the deputy general is Zhennan General Cao Xiu.

Originally, according to Cao Wei's practice, even though Cao Xiu's position was lower than that of Zhang Liao, Cao Xiu should be the leader of the more than 7 Wei troops.

It's just that all the things that happened before made Cao Pi, who was not very close to the Cao clan, less and less trust in the clan, so he made this arrangement.

After sorting out the leadership system of the more than 7 Wei army, Cao Pi ordered Zhang Liao to lead the army to launch a general attack on the Han army in the imperial decree.

Zhang Liao, who received Cao Pi's imperial decree, no longer hesitated.

He immediately ordered the [-] Wei troops outside Yancheng to pull out their camps from outside Yancheng and approach Fancheng.

The Wei army currently assembled in the Fanyan area is a well-trained army.

So after Zhang Liao's order spread throughout the army, the [-] Wei troops who had been preparing to go out soon left the camp and came outside Fancheng.

When Zhang Liao personally led [-] Wei troops to Fancheng to meet Cao Xiu's troops, Cao Xiu also knew the content of Cao Pi's imperial edict.

After knowing that he had become the subordinate of Zhang Liao, a second official with a different surname, Cao Xiu naturally had a look of displeasure on his face.

This should be the first time since the founding of the Duke of Wei, the clan of the Great Wei was led by a general with a different surname.

This first time made Cao Xiu, who has a strong personality, feel displeased, or a bit ashamed.

It's just that no matter how dissatisfied with Cao Pi's arrangement in his heart, it is impossible for Cao Xiu to defy the imperial edict openly.

In addition, he also knew that the war was imminent. If the Wei army seized power now, the result would undoubtedly be disastrous.

So soon Cao Xiu temporarily suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Of course Zhang Liao and Xu Chu also saw the displeasure on Cao Xiu's face.

But as long as Cao Xiu doesn't get angry, and they are afraid of Cao Xiu's identity, they can't do anything to Cao Xiu.

Besides, the current war is urgent.

Zhang Liao is a veteran with rich combat experience. As early as he knew that Cao Pi was willing to send troops, he had been thinking about how to arrange troops in the future.

After the Han army withdrew from the siege of Fancheng and stationed on the north bank of the Han River, all the combat strategies he had planned before were virtually overturned.

The front and back attack, and the lure the enemy to go deep, all of which have come to naught under Guan Yu's first insight.

One way Zhang Liao can fight now is to press up with superior forces and have a hearty battle with the Han army.

It looks a bit dull in the past, but this way of fighting is actually the main theme of ancient military struggles.

After making a plan in his mind, Zhang Liao immediately ordered the whole army to rest for a day today, and the whole army set off at early morning tomorrow.

Time always passed quickly, and soon the time came to the second day's time.

It was cold winter, even though it was the hour of the morning, the entire sky outside Fancheng still looked gloomy.

As for the sunshine, it has not appeared on the ground outside Fancheng for almost half a month.

It's just that despite the gloomy sky, under Zhang Liao's military order, the [-] Wei troops led by their respective generals arrived outside Fancheng on time and began to assemble.

As early as around five o'clock, the [-] Wei troops had already had a full meal.

In order to boost morale, Zhang Liao even ordered that some minced meat be added to the army's meal this morning.

This made the [-] Wei soldiers very unexpected. After eating the minced meat, their morale was greatly improved.

The [-] Wei troops with high morale quickly assembled, and Zhang Liao, Cao Xiu and other generals who had been waiting outside the city for a long time saw this scene, and there was a little joy on their faces.

Most of the [-] Wei troops standing in front of them are composed of Wei's Chinese army and foreign troops.

In terms of combat effectiveness and training level, they are all first-class powerful troops in the world.

And this [-] strong army is their greatest confidence in fighting this battle today.

After Zhang Liao inspected the [-] Wei army in front of him with proud eyes, he waved his hand and gave the order for the whole army to march.

When Zhang Liao's order was spread throughout the army through the command flag, the [-] Wei troops under the command of their respective generals began to march slowly towards the Han River with firm steps.

For the well-trained [-] Wei troops, following the command flag has almost become their muscle memory.

When the [-] Wei troops began to line up and approach the north bank of the Han River, there was a loud ground-thumping sound on the ground outside Fancheng out of thin air.

Correspondingly, the wind and dust of Fancheng also began to float in the sky for several miles.

The [-] army, the main force organized by Liu Bei when he exhausted Yizhou's national power during the Hanzhong War was no more than this number.

Fancheng is more than ten miles away from the re-established Han army camp.

And when the [-] Wei army began to gather, this urgent military situation had already been reported to Guan Yu by the spies of the Han army.

When he learned that the Wei army who had been hiding for several months finally started to attack them, Guan Yu happily clapped his fists.

He had been planning for months, waiting for this moment.

He even spent more than ten years waiting for this moment.

Now that the [-] Wei army has already started, the [-] Han army in his hands cannot miss this opportunity.

So Guan Yu's order was issued quickly.

Because it was felt that the Wei army launched an attack in the past few days, the [-] Han troops have been in combat preparations for the past few days.

Compared with Zhang Liao, there is no doubt that the Han army led by Guan Yu was more fully prepared.

Even regarding the formation of the front, middle and rear armies, the Han army has practiced countless times in advance under the command of Guan Yu during this period of time.

So when Guan Yu ordered the entire army to assemble, almost at the moment when the [-] Wei army assembled a dozen miles away, the [-] Han army also assembled outside the camp.

After the [-] Han army was assembled, Guan Yu drove the horse under his crotch and kept wandering in front of the [-] Han army.

Of the [-] Han troops in front of him, except for the [-] Yibei Army brought by Mi Yang, most of the remaining [-] troops were his old troops.

Even the [-] feather forest army left by Liu Bei.

Because the predecessor of Liu Bei's Yulin Army was Bai Mubing, and Bai Mubing was trained by Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others.

The world knows that Guan Yu is unparalleled in military power, but few people know that Guan Yu's ability to train soldiers is also unparalleled.

It is precisely because of his excellent military training ability that Guan Yu was able to train a tiger and wolf army in the dilapidated Jingzhou within a few years.

And relying on the tiger and wolf army in his hand, he chased Cao in the north and rejected Sun in the east.

Just like his confidence in himself, Guan Yu also had great confidence in the [-] Han troops in front of him.

When a gust of cold wind blew over the heads of the [-] troops, the hairpin tassels on the [-] helmets swayed with the wind, which was truly spectacular.

Thousands of red battle flags among the [-] Han army were fluttering under the blowing of the cold wind, which added a majestic atmosphere to the scene at this moment.

In the [-]-strong army, from Zhang Fei and Mi Yang to the main soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, they all looked at the man in front of the army with reverence.

Although Guan Yu has entered old age at this moment, his body is still majestic, and his spirit is still intimidating.

Facing the reverent eyes of the [-] Han soldiers, Guan Yu patted his chest with his hands and said loudly:
"The big man will win!"

Guan Yu's voice was very majestic, but it still couldn't reach the ears of the Han soldiers behind.

It's just that after the Han army in front heard Guan Yu's declaration, they quickly passed Guan Yu's declaration backwards, and soon all [-] Han troops heard Guan Yu's declaration.

After hearing Guan Yu's declaration, although Guan Yu's declaration was very brief, these simple four words directly mobilized the greatest fighting spirit in the hearts of the [-] Han troops.

The eyes of the sixty thousand Han troops looking at Guan Yu became more and more intense.

This is Guan Yu's current prestige in the Han army. Others say those four words are to encourage morale, but he said those four words, but it is a kind of firm declaration.

When Guan Yu's own strong self-confidence gradually infected the whole army, the [-] Han troops beat their chests with their hands like Guan Yu, and shouted loudly: "The big man will win!"

The [-] Han troops shouted in unison, covering the world in an earth-shattering manner.

Hearing the extremely melodious shouts of the [-] Han soldiers, Guan Yu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Who said that the southern army is inferior to the northern army?
After laughing, Guan Yu officially issued the order to go out.

When Guan Yu's order spread throughout the army, the [-] elite Han soldiers began to follow behind Guan Yu in an orderly manner, and took the initiative to move towards the [-] enemy troops approaching them.

The crimson wind and dust rose from the southeast, and Yun Changwuying pointed at the enemy.

Today, Hanshui summoned the old department, and the banner was [-], and it was cut off from Beijiao.

Even though the results of the battle are still unknown, the [-] Han soldiers followed Guan Yu on this journey, but they will never regret it.

When the armies of the Han and Wei dynasties took the initiative to move towards the enemy, the scouts sent by the two armies also kept running back and forth between the two armies.

They were reporting the enemy's movement and distance to their respective commanders.

Twelve miles.

Bali.

With the two armies heading towards each other, the distance of tens of miles was quickly crossed by the 13 troops.

When the front troops of the two armies were less than one mile away, the front troops of the two armies could already clearly see the enemy's figure.

Looking from the perspective of the former army of the Han army, the [-] Wei army in the distance are like black clouds rolling in the sky, shining with rising killing intent and constantly pressing towards them.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Fei, the former commander of the Han army, gave an order for the entire army to stop.

After the [-] Han troops stopped, they stood up in full battle.

At this time, the distance between the front armies of the two armies was less than one mile.

And just at this moment, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the sky that had been gloomy for days.

As time went by, this ray of light grew bigger and bigger, and finally became rays of sunshine illuminating the world.

The rays of sunshine rose from behind the Han army and quickly covered them.

When the sun shone on the armor of the Han army who was waiting in full battle, the sky and the earth shone with golden light in an instant.

The Wei army who came with darkness formed a sharp contrast with the Han army who was backed by the light at this moment.
