Shuhan

Chapter 130 Liu Chan personally went to the front line, soldiers besieged Fancheng!
August.

The rain in Jingzhou is continuous, and even the Han River has risen by a few points.

In the General's Mansion of Xiangyang.

Guan Yu sat in the hall, looking at the rain outside the hall, his face showed emotion.

Could it be
Is it really as His Highness said, can we use the strategy of water attack?
At this moment, all the generals in the hall are present.

Guan Yu looked at Guan Ping and asked, "Ping'er, I called you to test Fancheng, and it worked. Can you find out if the Wei army is stationed?"

Guan Ping got up, he shook his head, and said: "Yu Wen can't get out of the strong city. Fancheng is like a tortoise king with eight shells. It is difficult to test the truth. However, there are military strongholds in the west and north of Fancheng. There are three to 2000 people."

The city wall of Fancheng is much shorter than that of Xiangyang. The city wall is not made of blue bricks and rammed earth, but of loess, and its defense is much inferior to that of Xiangyang.

If you only stick to one place in Fancheng, it is easy to make dumplings.

Set up military strongholds in the west and north to prevent the city from being surrounded.

Regardless of whether Guan Yu attacked Junzhai or Fancheng, there were fresh troops who could support each other.

"It seems that if you want to take down Fancheng, you have to take down two military strongholds first."

Even though the Wei army suffered a big defeat in Xiangyang, more than ten thousand soldiers still fled back to Fancheng. Including Yujin headquarters, and the young man Xiangyong who was pulled out from Nanyang County these days, there were 3 soldiers in Fancheng.

Although they are not all elite soldiers, as long as they don't go out to fight in the field, these less elite soldiers are more than enough to defend the city.

If the Shu army wanted to take down Fancheng, it might not be that simple.

"Your Majesty, this is the time when Fancheng's guards are weakest. When Cao Mengde sends reinforcements, it will be even more difficult to get down from Fancheng." Lingling Prefect Hepu obviously wanted to call for a fight.

Of course Guan Yu knew that now was a good time to attack Fancheng.

but.
Thinking of what Liu Chan said that day, he still shook his head slightly.

"No, this is not an excellent fighter."

Liao Huahepu and others opened their mouths, but they were speechless.

Even if Fancheng is surrounded, is it possible to take Fancheng before Wei's reinforcements arrive?
3 people are still guarding the city, and it is difficult to go down the city within ten days.

What's more, Yu Jinfei is an easy person, as long as he doesn't make Cao Ren's previous mistakes, Guan Yu really has nothing to do with them.

"How is the negotiation in Jiangling? Has the food and grass been transferred?"

Grain, Grain, Grain!

Now Guan Yu is still concerned about the issue of food and grass.

If there is a lot of food and grass, then the army he can bring out is not only 3, but 5, or even [-]!

In this way, when facing the army of Wei State, he will be more confident in his heart.

"We are still negotiating. According to the news, it seems to have succeeded. Jiangdong will transfer 75 shi of grain and grass to Jingzhou in the near future."

75 stone grain and grass?
Guan Yu's mouth grew wide.

This is a huge number!
Not to mention an army of [-], it is possible to have an army of [-].

Although it may be possible that the food and grass will be weak, but with his Guan Yunchang's ability, if he has an army of [-], who is his opponent in this world.

At that time, due to the lack of food for the enemy, there will be no need for much logistical support at all.

"Since the important matter has been decided, send someone there quickly, and invite Your Highness to Xiangyang to discuss the important matter!"

Before Jiangling was stabilized, there was no Liu Chan in the rear, and Guan Yu felt uneasy.

In addition to negotiating with Jiangdong, in Guan Yu's view, without the prince Liu Chan there, how can he ask for food and grass?

Now that the grain and grass have arrived, the negotiations are about to be completed, and Jiangling is also stabilized.

Then come here quickly!

Guan Yu had a deep talk with Liu Chan before, and Guan Yu felt that he had learned a lot.

In particular, His Highness seems to have the ability to predict the future.

This continuous rainfall has indeed created the conditions for water attack.

And
In the Kingdom of Wei, in Nanyang County, there were actually dissidents, and he was contacted.

The young master has dragon spirit, the young master is really a god-man!
Such a god-man, instead of inviting him to come to guard the rear of Jingzhou, isn't that a waste of talent?
To guard the rear of Jingzhou, it is enough to have Pan Jun and his like, and Mr. Feng Chu is there, so the rear of Jingzhou must be worry-free.

"promise!"

Guan Ping's face jumped with joy.

He had a close relationship with His Royal Highness after drinking heavily at night with Prince Liu Chan before. Now that he can come, isn't there another excuse and opportunity for drinking?

Good brother-in-law, come quickly!
And Liu Chan, he really came!

Bring the five thousand princes of the headquarters to join the army and talk about martial arts.

With Pang Tong in the negotiation with Jiangdong, there is no need for him to worry.

As for marriage and marriage, there is no rush. In this era, it takes a long time to prepare for marriage.

What's more, the distance from Jianye to Chengdu is thousands of miles away, and it is not that simple to get married quickly.

Current situation.
Maybe the three married together.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Liu Chan couldn't help but feel rippling in his heart.

With his small stature, he could marry three girls overnight?

I can only say two words: Wonderful!

But that's all for later.

The top priority now is to make a breakthrough in Fancheng.

Outside the hall, there are guards and messengers who come forward to report.

"Report to General, Your Highness has arrived in Xiangyang."

Seriously, Cao Cao is coming!

Guan Yu cracked a smile on his face, and said to the left and right: "Follow me to meet His Highness."

meet?

Liao Hua and He Pu looked at each other. When His Highness came for the first time, the former general did not have such an attitude towards His Highness.

This time, I have to greet you in person.

All the generals in the hall left the main hall of the general's mansion together with Guan Yu, and headed towards the main road in the city outside the mansion.

On the main road in Xiangyang City, Liu Chan, who had just entered the city, met Guan Yu and others.

"When my son-in-law comes, how can my father-in-law greet him personally?"

Guan Yu laughed loudly, stepped forward to hold Liu Chan's hand, and said, "Your Highness is the Crown Prince of Hanzhong. How can I, a subject, not come out to greet you?"

"My father-in-law is like this, but my son-in-law is flattered."

"Why are you so flattered? It should be reasonable. Did you bring food and grass when you came here?" Although Guan Yu's sense of Liu Chan has changed a lot now, food and grass are still Guan Yunchang's favorite.

"Bring some, not much. Jiangdong has already started to prepare for the food and grass. I think the food and grass will be delivered soon." Liu Chan said truthfully.

"That's it!"

Guan Yu felt a little disappointed, the food that was coming, didn't it come?

The meat that is eaten into the mouth is meat, and the meat that is not eaten is not considered meat.

Seeing the harmonious relationship between his father and his good husband, Guan Yinping was slightly happy.

She giggled behind Liu Chan, and said, "Father, it's raining so hard that it's wet the armor and underwear, so let's go in first."

"Yes, please, Your Highness."

"Yue Zhang, please!"

The two of them performed very well in etiquette and entered the main hall of the General's Mansion together.

"Your Highness, please take your seat!"

"My son-in-law came here to learn from his father-in-law the military skills, the art of marching and fighting. How can there be a saying that a student sits on top of a teacher?"

In front of my father-in-law, I still have to be humble.

"Alright, then sit at the top."

Not far from Guan Yu's side, there is a deerskin cushion. This seat can already look down on the generals in the hall, and the relationship with Guan Yu is also at the same level.

It seems that this good father-in-law is also rough and fine.

Guan Yu didn't give any face to those he didn't approve of, if he could spray a few more words, then he would spray a few more words.

But once you get his approval, Guan Yunchang's attitude changes, it can be said that he is caring, and it can even be reflected in the subtleties.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid you don't know the news about Fancheng, Ping'er, tell Your Highness quickly."

The think tank is here, and this news must be known to his good son-in-law.

Otherwise, how to make plans?

"promise!"

Guan Ping got up, and slowly talked to Liu Chan about the information collected by the general in the past few days.

After listening, Liu Chan looked thoughtful.

In fact, although he was in Jiangling, many spies from his military commander were scattered in Nanyang County, and he still knew a thing or two about them.

For example, communicating with Hou Yin, the guard of Wancheng, is to use the intelligence network of Jian Junsi.

"Your Highness, how are you? Do you have a plan in mind? This Fancheng, should we fight or not?"

To fight or not to fight?

When he was in Jiangling City, Liu Chan already had some calculations in his mind.

"Surround but not fight."

"Surround but not fight?"

Guan Yunchang was stunned.

"What does this mean? Your Highness doesn't know that Cao Mengde's reinforcements are coming. If we surround Fancheng and don't fight, then we will be attacked by the Wei army on both sides."

But Liu Chan smiled and said: "Siege the point to fight for aid, encircle Wei to rescue Zhao, the north bank of the Han River is high in the south and low in the north. As far as I know, the place where the Weijun camp is stationed in the north is called Lukou River. If there is plenty of rain here, it might not be impossible to attack with water. At that time, people will be sent to weir all the water outlets, and when the water comes out, they will take the boat from a height and let the water flood it, and all the soldiers in the Lukou River in Fancheng will be fish and turtles."

Anyway, no matter what, Cao Wei's reinforcements cannot be allowed to join forces with Yu Jin.

Moreover, the army must have an outpost on the north bank.

Otherwise, once Cao Wei's army arrives, they will not even be able to cross the Han River, so what are they talking about capturing Fancheng?
"Your Highness is right!"

With such heavy rains, the water level of the Han River has risen a lot. If Cao Wei's reinforcements arrive, according to His Highness the Crown Prince's method, there may be a chance!

Guan Yu's eyes lit up.

"So, follow His Highness's request!"

Guan Yinping was even more proud when she saw that her father obeyed the good man's words.

Look!
Is my eyesight off the silver screen good?

"Your Highness, Your Majesty."

Liao Hua frowned slightly, stood up and saluted with fists in his hands, and said slowly: "If I wait to cross the Han River, I send troops to attack him halfway across the Han River, what should I do?"

Hit it halfway.

Song Xianggong and Han Xin have already given positive and negative examples.

If the army is not elite, once it is attacked by the enemy while crossing the river, it will easily be defeated.

"Why worry about this?"

Guan Yu really didn't think so.

One is that he believes that the soldiers he brought out are top elite soldiers, they are all old soldiers, and they know what to do even in the face of dangerous situations.

Second, if Yu Jin really dares to go out of the city to fight, it will be in his arms!

Who dares to fight Guan Yunchang with him?
He Yu Wen is his opponent of Guan Yunchang?

"The army is divided into three sections. Ping'er, you are the vanguard, lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, and cross the river first. Yuan Jian, you are the mobile, guard the rear army, and wait for the opportunity to move. Your Highness and I are in the middle army, so as not to change. "

"promise!"

Guan Yu's strategy can be said to be watertight, after Liao Hua heard it, there was no worry on his face.

Too
They have all the elite soldiers under their hands now, but under Yu Jin's hands, there are probably less than [-] elite soldiers who can go out to fight in the field.

In addition, when Xiangyang was lost just now, morale was low. With the lessons learned from Cao Ren's rush into Xiangyang, Yu Jin would not dare to go out of the city to fight.

Just do it!

On the same day, the army began to prepare for the siege.

On the second day, Guan Ping took a warship and led 5000 troops from his headquarters. Taking advantage of the mist in the early morning, he galloped towards the north bank of the Han River with a murderous look.

And more soldiers of the Shu army were ready to go at the back, waiting for Fancheng Yujin's reaction.

If Yu Jin dares to go out of the city to fight, then the army led by Liao Hua will be ready to support Guan Ping at any time.

As for the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in Guan Yu's hand, he was naturally very hungry and thirsty.

At this moment, in Fancheng.

"General, the Shu army is sending troops and is crossing the river now. If you want to fight, now is the best time!"

Above the city of Fancheng, Yu Jin looked at the boats on the Hanshui River with a serious expression on his face.

He was tall, wearing armor and a helmet on his head. The armor on his body was covered with scales, shining brightly, making him look extremely mighty.She wears a silver breastplate on her chest, which reflects a dazzling light under the sunlight.

At this moment, Yu Jin was holding a steel gun with a dragon-like head and a white cloth wrapped around the gun barrel, which was sharp at the end.

Yu Wen looked at the warships of the Shu Army on the river with a focused expression on his face and a slight frown.

Send troops now?

But how many soldiers dare to fight in the city?

Besides, is Guan Yunchang an ordinary person?

If you hit it halfway, there is a possibility of victory, even if you win, so what?Can we take back Xiangyang?Don't you know the story of Cao Ren Xiangyang?
Countless thoughts flickered in Yu Jin's mind. He shook his head and said, "Going out of the city to fight, have you forgotten how Xiangyang was lost? Hold on to the city, prepare the defense equipment, and if Yunchang attacks the city, I will teach him how to look good! "

I can't fight in the field, so can't I defend the city?
When the reinforcements arrive, let me see how long you Guan Yunchang can be arrogant!

On the other side, the soldiers and horses of the headquarters led by Guan Ping have already slowly crossed the Han River, and the soldiers who landed in front have even set up a defensive formation, and put the Wei army to charge at any time.

But to Guan Ping's disappointment, Yu Jin did not lead troops out.

"This Yu Wenze is really disappointing!"

Guan Ping spit out a mouthful of saliva. Although he was disappointed, he still had to do his job as a pioneer. He immediately gave an order:
"Build the camp, block the main roads, and cut off the connection between Fancheng and the rest of the camp!"

"promise!"

The soldiers led away one after another, and while Guan Ping was preparing to encamp and besiege the city, Guan Yu and Liu Chan had already crossed the Han River.

"As expected, Yu Jin dared not go out of the city to fight."

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard, looking at ease.

Behind the two, rows of soldiers were arranged with specific affairs before crossing the river, and now they went to do their own things in an orderly manner.

"This surrounds Fancheng, what about the camps around Fancheng?"

"The camp in the west can be removed first in these few days, and the camp in the north will wait for Mengde's reinforcements to arrive."

slack clack~
Even at this moment, the rain was still falling.

And looking at this trend, there is a possibility that it will go down even more.

Guan Yu nodded lightly, he just had that intention just now.

"Where is Yuan Jian?"

Liao Hua, who was maneuverable, did not come in handy. Hearing Guan Yu calling him at this moment, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty called me, do you have an order?"

"I ordered you to bring our troops and horses to capture Weizhai in the west. Are you confident?"

Attack the camp?

Liao Hua's eyes lit up, he cupped his hands in salute, and immediately said, "Wei Village will be eradicated within three days!"

Before Guan Ping sent scouts across the river to investigate the situation, there were only three thousand soldiers of the Wei army in the Wei village in the west.

or even less.

He, Liao Hua, led the headquarters with 5000 troops, and he still didn't believe that he would not be able to attack.

"Okay! I will spend three days with you!"

Just now Guan Yu learned from Liu Chan that Cao Cao appointed Cao Ren as the chief general Pang De as the vanguard, and has already dispatched troops. Considering the distance between Xudu and Fancheng, if he marches quickly, he will arrive in three or two days.

If we don't attack the camp for three days, I'm afraid Cao Renpang will lead his troops there. At that time, I'm afraid he will have to give up attacking Weizhai in the west.

but
In any case, within three days, the western camp must be breached.

Without him!

The west camp is located on a relatively high ground, even if it is attacked by water, it will be difficult to flood it. If it is not captured, if Cao Ren flees to the west camp and gives him a chance to breathe, it will not be beautiful.

"It's raining, Your Highness, follow me to the tent to rest."

I am old and my body is not as good as it used to be.

After being drenched in the rain for half an hour, I felt slightly unwell.

It was pouring rain that year, and he, Guan Yunchang, was able to go into battle and kill the enemy.

Times have changed, things are changing, people are changing, nothing more than this.

"No."

But Liu Chan rejected Guan Yu's kindness.

"When Fang arrived at Nanyang, he should go to find out the situation first."

Knowing oneself and knowing one another can win a hundred battles.

In the later generations, why did Emperor Taizong Li Shimin be able to win many battles, and even often achieve a record against the sky with fewer enemies?

You only see his bravery, but you don't see it. Before going to battle, Li Shimin will take Yuchi Jingde Qingqi to places that may become battlefields, make arrangements in advance, and be aware of it.

He, Liu Chan, was naturally not as brave as Li Shimin, and he did not dare to go a hundred meters away from the enemy's camp.

But he still has the courage to observe the terrain from a distance, and it is very big!

What's more, his son is close to the army, and he talks about martial arts from all elites, even if there is an emergency, he is not afraid of it!
Liu Chanfang was riding on the horse, and Guan Yinping followed.

"I also need to go!"

Looking at the posture, he still wanted to sit on the same horse with Liu Chan.

"It's not going on an outing, maybe you have to fight the enemy hand to hand, so you can stay here with Yue Zhang."

Hearing Liu Chan's words, Guan Yinping was immediately unhappy. She pouted and said immediately: "Compared to force, I am not far behind you. I am also good at killing enemies in battle. With me by my side, I will definitely succeed." Keep you safe!"

Seeing this girl's airy appearance, Liu Chan shook his head slightly.

"Your Highness, what Feng'er said is true. Although she is a woman, she is not bad in martial arts. She has more than one combat power to guard His Highness's side."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled lightly.

This kind of young couple going out to increase their relationship, as an old father, he must assist.

What's more, what he said was not bad, Guan Yinping would definitely be able to protect His Highness at critical moments.

After all, his good daughter has brute strength.

"It's just that His Royal Highness has a distinguished status. The matter of inspecting the terrain is left to the scouts. How can His Highness go there in person?"

He Pu, the prefect of Lingling, had a worried look on his face.

"Prefect Wuyou, I only look at the terrain and don't go deep into it. Besides, I, Liu Gongsi, am not powerless. I can also fight with ordinary generals!"

Although killing can't kill, but after a few tricks, it's still possible.

His Royal Highness said so, and Guan Yunchang did not object, so Liu Chan galloped northward in the light rain with dozens of personal guards.

Along the way, Guan Ping's headquarters had already opened the way and set up guard posts, and in some important places, simple camps were built to serve as pass.

Twenty miles further ahead, it is considered to have penetrated into the enemy's territory.

Along the way, Liu Chan stopped and stopped. The change of the road, the direction of the mountains and rivers, and the denseness of the woods seemed to have a real and detailed map of Nanyang generated in his mind.

"This place may be used for an ambush."

The road enters from a small mountain pass, and there are dense forests on both sides. If you want to ambush people and hide thousands of people, there is no problem.

Guan Yinping rode his horse and followed behind Liu Chan.

"This is indeed a good place to ambush, but it's a pity that it's not on the main road, and it's not the only way for the Wei army to advance."

But Liu Chan laughed and said, "It's not the place where the Wei army marched, so maybe it's not the way for them to retreat."

If the main road is blocked, then you can only take this road?
"Go ahead!"

After walking for a whole day, at dusk, Liu Chan came to a high plateau hill. From this high plateau, one can get a glimpse of the whole picture of the Lukou River.

From the naked eye, one can know that the Lukou River is a place that must be contested by military strategists. The place where the Wei army camp is stationed is steep, occupies the mouth of the valley, and is on the only road that must pass through the main road. If you want to go to Wancheng, you must Take this place down!
but
The place is good, but it is too low-lying. The pattering rainwater gathers in the direction of the Lukou River, and then merges into the tributary of the Han River, heading towards the great river.

"Mr. Lang, don't go any further. If you go any further, maybe the Wei army from the enemy village will come out. I'm only waiting for a few dozen riders, so I'm no match for you."

"rest assured."

Liu Chan is not as brave as Li Shimin, when he grows up, his martial arts are superb, and he will be surrounded by peerless fighters, it won't be too late to try again.

"Today is a worthwhile trip, let's go back."

In fact, they had already met Wei Jun scouts just now, Liu Chan shot one dead with an arrow, and the rest were picked up by Guan Yinping's silver spear.

It is indeed risky to stay any longer.

Of course, risks and opportunities are equal.

After this trip, Liu Chan updated his mind with the geographic atlas he had seen in Jiangling before.

Several locations suitable for ambush were also found.

These things can always come in handy in the future.

After all, Liu Chan has already decided to launch a water attack on the Wei army.

After the seven armies were flooded, if the Wei army could be wiped out, wouldn't Cao Wei be seriously injured?

At that time, even if Cao Cao came with a large army, the pressure on Liu Chan's side would be much less.

Since you are preparing for a big battle, you must be fully prepared!

Let people in this world truly know how powerful Liu Gongsi is!
