Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 101: The famous general is still there, Guan Yu attacks Gong'an
Guan Yu turned toward the direction of Gong'an City and said, "The way to use troops is to surprise the enemy and attack them when they are least prepared.

When Liu Gongzhong arrives in Wuling, he will definitely try to contact the righteous men in Wuling County. Guan Mou does not need to join forces with Liu Gongzhong, as Liu Gongzhong will cooperate with Guan Mou.

Sun Quan wanted to use deception to disrupt Guan's military morale, hoping that Guan would escape to Xiakou.

In this case, Guan will do the opposite and attack Gong'an City directly!"

Whether it was Dong Hui, Pei Qing, or Su Fei, they were all shocked by Guan Yu's idea.

Do the opposite and attack Gong'an City?
Before Lu Meng launched a surprise attack on Jiangling, he first attacked Gong'an City.

Now, before Guan Yu wants to retake Jiangling, he has to attack Gong'an City first.

Dong Hui couldn't help but become even more excited!

This is truly unexpected!

Not to mention that Lu Meng is now critically ill, even if Lu Meng was not critically ill, he would never have thought of your tactics.

Dong Hui thought so.

Su Fei looked worried. "From Wulinjinkou to Gong'an, even if we cross the Yunmengze waters, the water route is more than 500 miles. With adverse winds and currents, it will take at least eight days to arrive. It will be difficult to hide our whereabouts."

Guan Yu had already made plans and said, "In the past, Han Xin built a plank road in front of Zhang Han in order to enter Guanzhong. In order to paralyze Zhang Han, he actually took the Chencang Road to enter Guanzhong and finally took control of the Three Qins.

Now, Jiang Qin and Sun Jiao of Lukou have been frightened by Guan's six consecutive victories. Guan intends to send a suspected force to pretend to challenge Lukou Water Stronghold. Seeing that the challenging force is small, Jiang Qin and Sun Jiao will surely suspect that Guan has ambushed troops outside and dare not leave the stronghold.

By using this confusing tactic, we might be able to delay the enemy for three days.

If discovered, this suspicious force will head directly to Gong'an. Jiang Qin and Sun Jiao will surely become suspicious again and send warships to Xiakou, which may delay the attack for another three days.

If we can delay for six days, even if Jiang Qin and Sun Jiao see through Guan's trick of sending troops to attack, they will not be able to do anything to Guan! "

Su Fei suddenly realized.

Jiang Qin and Sun Jiao were frightened by Guan Yu's attack, so they stayed in the water stronghold.

Even though they wanted to falsely claim that Liu Feng had been killed, Jiang Qin and Sun Jiao only dared to make a feint instead of a head-on attack, which showed how much they feared Guan Yu.

Because of fear, they dare not leave the village easily.

The strategy of feigning an attack was successful.

Think of this.

Su Fei immediately asked, "The only one who can use this deception for you is me. I will delay the battle for six days even if I die."

Guan Yu praised him: "General Su is brave and valiant. If he can delay for six days, his reputation will be higher than Jiang Qin and Sun Jiao. If he cannot delay for six days, General Su should not die lightly. If you die, I will lose a capable general!"

People make their own plans, and Guan Yu did not dare to claim that he could predict the future like a god.

It would be best if it could be delayed for six days. If it cannot be delayed for six days, Guan Yu does not want to sacrifice Su Fei, the naval commander.

It is not easy to train a good general.

Guan Yu had been in Jingzhou for more than ten years, and had only trained two capable naval and land commanders, Su Fei and Zhao Lei.

If this were to be damaged, it would be like cutting off Guan Yu's arm.

Su Fei was moved and said, "I will follow your orders."

Think for a moment.

Guan Yu added: "Before using the strategy of false attack, we must first forcefully attack Lukou Water Stronghold, so that Jiang Qin and Sun Jiao can see my methods again."

Although he learned naval warfare only after arriving in Jingzhou, Guan Yu also received professional instruction in naval warfare.

Among them, there was instruction from generals under Liu Biao who were good at water warfare, as well as instruction from the famous general Zhou Yu. During these ten years, Guan Yu learned from hundreds of masters and finally mastered water warfare, surpassing his predecessors.

When Cao Pi ascended the throne, he once summoned his ministers and asked them all, and they all said, "Shu is just a small country, and the only famous general is Guan Yu", which shows what Guan Yu can do.

Guan Yu had more than 10,000 people in Wulin and Wulinjinkou, including infantry, cavalry, and hundreds of warships.

If it were an ordinary commander, faced with such a complex land and water deployment, he would probably just order the entire army to attack.

In Guan Yu's hands, these more than 10,000 soldiers and hundreds of warships were controlled easily and in an orderly manner.

After deciding to attack Lukou Water Fort, Guan Yu did not hesitate at all.

After the infantry and cavalry stationed in Wulin boarded the ships, a huge ship consisting of hundreds of warships suddenly appeared outside the Lukou Water Fort like a giant whale in the sea.

More than ten fireboats loaded with reeds and fuel rushed towards Lukou Water Fort without any warning.

It is winter now and the north wind is blowing fiercely.

In an instant.

The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind helped the fire, and the fire mercilessly burned the gate outside Lukou Water Fort.

Upon learning that Guan Yu had launched a large-scale attack on the stronghold and launched a fire attack, Jiang Qin, Sun Jiao and Quan Cong who had just arrived in the water stronghold were all terrified.

"Is Guan Yu crazy? How dare he use fire attack head-on!" Jiang Qin was shocked and angry.

The Lukou Water Fort, built under the supervision of three great commanders-in-chief Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Lu Meng, has a complete set of fire-prevention fortifications.

A frontal fire attack could at most burn down the fire prevention works at the front of Lukou Water Fort. The entire water fort would not be burned down just because of the appearance of more than ten fire ships.

It would be impossible to break through a strong fortress like Lukou Water Fort by fire unless there was cooperation from within.

Jiang Qin was angry because he was underestimated by Guan Yu!
With Guan Yu's level of naval warfare, it is impossible that he did not know the correct use of fire attack during naval warfare.

But Guan Yu just used it!

This was like stepping on Jiang Qin's face, and then he arrogantly said to Jiang Qin with contempt: "Why would Guan need to use an insider to deal with you?"

This is humiliating!

If reason had not prevailed over anger, Jiang Qin would have wanted to lead the warships out of the camp to fight Guan Yu to the death.

Sun Jiao also had a gloomy face and said, "This must be Guan Yu's way of provoking us. We must not fall into his trap."

Relying on the geographical advantage of Lukou Water Fort, Sun Jiao was not afraid of Guan Yu; if he gave up the geographical advantage and left the water fort, Sun Jiao, who had been defeated by Guan Yu in six consecutive battles, would not have the courage to do so.

Quan Cong held his chin up and said, "I agree with General Sun's judgment. Guan Yu must have been furious after learning that Liu Feng had been beheaded, so he attacked the camp with fireboats.

Guan Yu is in a desperate situation at the moment, so we cannot fight him head-on. Let's leave him alone for a few days, and when he is weaker, we can lead our troops out of the camp and win the battle."

If Liu Feng were here, he would definitely mock the three people.

Being a coward is being a coward, why keep analyzing?

If Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were still alive, not to mention letting Guan Yu use fireboats to attack the gate outside Lukou Water Fort head-on, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would have left the fort to intercept Guan Yu before he launched the attack.

For a naval commander, it would be shameful if his base was burned by enemy fireships even if he managed to defend the base.

Obviously.

Jiang Qin, Sun Jiao and Quan Cong do not possess the courage and wisdom of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Guan Yu only sacrificed a dozen small boats to prevent Jiang Qin and the other two from acting rashly.

The fire did not spread and gradually became smaller under the cold wind.

Seeing that the Wu soldiers still did not come out, Guan Yu quickly divided his forces. He only left the naval commander Su Fei with more than a hundred warships to challenge the enemy outside Lukou Water Fort, while the main force changed its course and headed westward into the Yunmengze waters.

After finding out that Guan Yu had only left a small number of warships outside the water stronghold to challenge, Jiang Qin and the other two concluded that this was a tactic of Guan Yu trying to lure the enemy by showing weakness after his fire attack failed.

To be on the safe side, the three decided to stay in the camp and not go out.

The three men turned a deaf ear to Su Fei's cursing outside the water fort.

But the three of them didn't know.

Guan Yu's intention was to lure the enemy, but in fact it was to confuse the enemy.

This was actually a brainwashing suggestion by Guan Yu to Jiang Qin and other three people in Lukou Water Fort.

When Jiang Qin and the other two discovered that Guan Yu's intention was to "kill them on the spot", no matter what means Guan Yu used during this period, Jiang Qin and the other two would think that Guan Yu was planning to strike hard before withdrawing his troops.

As the saying goes: Don’t chase a desperate enemy.

You should not pursue an enemy who is in a desperate situation relentlessly, so as to avoid causing him to struggle desperately and putting yourself in a disadvantageous position.

Therefore.

Jiang Qin and the other two will become very cautious in their response.

The more cautious you are, the more time you need to spend on gathering and analyzing intelligence.

in this way.

Guan Yu's strategy of feigning an attack was effective.

At this time, the rhythm of the entire battlefield was controlled by Guan Yu.

Whether it is urgent or slow, whether it is attack or defense.

Jiang Qin and the other two were all led by Guan Yu.

In order to buy time for Guan Yu to launch a surprise attack on Gong'an City, Su Fei used different methods of provocation.

It’s not Jiang Qin and the other two’s fault for being too cautious.

One of these three men was captured alive by Liu Feng, and two were defeated by Guan Yu in six battles. After being defeated, they naturally developed the mentality of "there is no harm in being cautious and not being defeated is a victory."

With Su Fei's restraint at Lukou.

Guan Yu headed westward through the waters of Yunmengze.

Looking at the beacon towers along the river, Guan Yu's mood became complicated.

The waters between Jiangling and Lukou are complex and sparsely populated, making them extremely easy to attack by surprise.

That is why Guan Yu deployed beacon towers along the river and stationed troops on guard; as long as the beacon towers could successfully sound the alarm, Gong'an City would be able to get the news in advance and deploy defenses.

Although he didn't know how Lu Meng deceived the guards at the beacon tower, Guan Yu was not surprised.

When deploying the beacon towers, Guan Yu was well aware of their disadvantages.

The function of a beacon tower is only to convey enemy information, rather than to defend it strictly like a pass.

If the guard at the beacon tower lights the beacon every time he sees a ship, regardless of whether there is enough fuel, the people behind him will be scared to death: Why are there always enemies coming?

When they turned around and found that it was not the enemy, the guard who lit the beacon tower randomly would be beheaded for the crime of falsely reporting the enemy.

The example of lighting beacons to trick the princes is deeply rooted in people's minds.

If we only talk about private matters.

Guan Yu actually didn't have much ill will towards Lu Meng.

After Lu Meng succeeded Lu Su as the governor of Lukou, he became friends with Guan Yu.

Given Guan Yu's personality, if he looked down on Lu Meng, even if Lu Meng was humble, he would never be looked at by Guan Yu.

Just like Lu Xun, who also wanted to make friends with Guan Yu, was just a pale-faced scholar in Guan Yu's eyes, which was completely opposite to his attitude towards Lu Meng.

Regardless of their positions, Guan Yu would also drink and chat happily with Lu Meng.

Both of them are generals who rose from humble beginnings and were similar in many ways.

One learns righteousness by reading The Spring and Autumn Annals, while the other learns wisdom by reading a wide range of books.

Great philosophers often used Guan Yu's loyalty and Lu Meng's love of reading to warn soldiers in the army that they should learn from Guan Yu's loyalty and Lu Meng's love of reading. They should not simply regard them as contradictions, but should be viewed in a dialectical way of contradiction and unity.

But things in this world are unpredictable.

The issue of stance made the two people incompatible.

However, in Luo Heizi's novel, Guan Yu turned into a ghost and killed Lu Meng, which made Guan Yu's image and pattern become extremely bad. A hero should not be judged by success or failure, but in the end, Guan Yu lost and "couldn't afford to play".

Passing through the beacon towers along the river.

Guan Yu looked out at the Gong'an City in the dark night.

To protect Jiangling.

In addition to the beacon tower, Guan Yu also reinforced the Gong'an City.

According to Guan Yu's idea, even if the beacon towers along the river were destroyed, Gong'an City could still be defended for three months due to its solidity.

With the Wu army's forces divided by Gong'an City, it would become even more difficult for the Wu army to attack the more solid Jiangling City due to the division of forces.

Even if Mi Fang's ability is not as good as Cao Ren's, he should have no problem holding out for half a year.

However, this is the result.

But Guan Yu still hasn't figured it out until now.

The beacon towers along the river served as eyes and ears, and Gong'an City was the gateway. The city was much stronger than Jiangling City during Cao Ren's time. With an uncle who had followed Liu Bei since Xuzhou and a brave general who had followed Liu Bei since Youzhou guarding Jiangling City and Gong'an City respectively, how could it be lost so easily?
Guan Yu admitted that he had misjudged Lu Meng's serious illness and underestimated Lu Xun, making the mistake of being arrogant and careless.

However, Guan Yu did not think there was any problem with the defensive deployment of Jiangling City and Gong'an City.

Even if Liu Bei came in person, he would not be able to deploy the troops better than Guan Yu.

In the midst of contemplation.

The front army sent back news: they had defeated the patrolling Wu warships and captured several Wu soldiers alive, including a military marquis.

Guan Yu then ordered these Wu soldiers to be brought onto the ship for interrogation.

During this trial, Guan Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"I didn't expect that even Zhuge Jin could guard Gong'an City. Without Lu Meng, Sun Quan is left with no capable people."

　The Battle of Jingzhou is a major plot, and it is impossible for Liu Feng to defeat Sun Quan easily, so the story will definitely be long.

　　Liu Bei fought in Sichuan for several years, and also fought in Hanzhong for several years.

　　If Liu Feng was able to defeat Sun Quan by defeating a strong opponent with a weak force in just two or three months, then the plot would be too magical. It would be better for Liu Feng to directly assassinate Sun Quan, Cao Pi and Sima Yi.

　　Actually, no matter how I write, it is impossible to satisfy all readers, so I have a suggestion that can satisfy all readers:

　　In the last chapter, I deleted 4000 words and rewrote it for the sake of quality. Can it be considered as an additional update and ask for monthly votes?
