The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 226 The Battle of Fancheng ([-])

After Liu Chan came to the foot of the mountain, he immediately sent people to gather up the soldiers who were distributed around the hill and were sent to protect him.

In fact, most of the troops that Liu Chan brought out from Yizhou stayed in Jiangling, and he just brought out more than 500 people and the white-eared guards to go north.Now with the addition of the 1000 cavalry and [-] infantry sent by Guan Yu, Liu Chan now has about [-] troops at hand.

But what can so few people do?The Guan brothers and their family didn't understand, even Zhao Feng, who followed Liu Chan the longest, didn't understand either.

Guan Xing couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "My lord, what do you want to do now?"

Liu Chan saw that the scattered soldiers were quickly gathering here, and there was enough time, so he explained: "I want to take these people to fight a blocking battle or an ambush?"

Guan Xing couldn't help but let out a groan, now that these people are far away from the battlefield, where are they going to fight?Guan Xing asked: "What does the son mean by this?"

Liu Chan raised his horsewhip and pointed at the battle formation in front of him, "Second Uncle is too kind. He is still fighting and allows the soldiers to rest indiscriminately, and he does not order punishment. If the enemies in the city take the opportunity to charge out, they will How to deal with it? I dare to say that, when the time comes, Second Uncle will definitely lose!"

Guan Xing was taken aback at first, and secretly praised Liu Chan's sharp eyesight, his strategic vision is much sharper than those of them!But now that it is about his father's reputation and the success or failure of a war, he couldn't help but anxiously said: "Then what can you do now, my son? You are watching the battle here now, my son, and I will notify my father immediately!"

But Liu Chan stopped Guan Xing and said, "Second Brother, don't mess up your position. If you go like this now, with Second Uncle's temperament, can he listen to you?"

Guan Suo on the side was also a little anxious and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"Third brother, don't worry. After the army is assembled, immediately take your troops and find a place to ambush outside the west gate of Fancheng. When the enemy's cavalry leave the city, rush out and kill them all. Stay! As for the matters here, don’t worry, just leave it to me.”

Guan Xing couldn't help but wonder: "My lord, how do you know that the enemy will send cavalry?"

Liu Chan smiled and said: "Since Cao Ren and Man Chong want to use a sneak attack, they will catch us off guard. Cavalry are the fastest, so of course they are their first choice."

Everyone nodded straightly.Then, Liu Chan ordered the white-eared guards to obey Guan Xing's command, and Zhao Feng and his wife should stay to protect Liu Chan, and Liu Chan asked Guan Xing to leave him with two family generals.

Guan Xing didn't understand why Liu Chan wanted his generals, but he still ordered the two oldest generals for Liu Chan.And Liu Chan didn't wait for the army to assemble, he rushed out with Zhao Feng and his wife, Zuo Fu, the two generals of the Guan family and all the rangers, but the direction was Guan Yu's army formation.

When Liu Chan rushed halfway, Guan Xing had already organized his men, with [-] knights in the lead, and the infantry rushed towards the west of the city behind.

When Liu Chan came to the rear of Guan Yu's army, Guan Xingjun had already left some distance away, and a cloud of dust rose from behind.Then, Liu Chan and others were stopped by the supervising team placed at the rear of the army formation.

The leader of this supervising team was Du Fu, the tooth general of the Jingzhou Army. When he saw that the son came to the battlefield in person, he hurriedly came to see him.

He is a man who has experienced battles, so he is aware of the dangers on the battlefield, and advised: "My lord, the front line is dangerous, you should hurry to a safe place to watch the battle. Otherwise, if you make a mistake, you will not be able to afford it. "

Liu Chan didn't make things difficult for him, and said, "Don't worry, this son has no intention of going to the front line to fight."

Then, Liu Chan turned his head and told the two generals of the Guan family: "You two go to Guan Junhou's place now and tell him to be careful of the enemy's sudden surprise attack, and he should be prepared earlier."

The two generals of the Guan family made a promise, passed through the supervisory team, and went to report to Guan Yu.

At this time, Liu Chan said: "Du Fu, immediately send out the members of your supervisory team and let them wake up all the slackers sitting on the ground. If any of them dare to disobey the military order, you just follow the order." Military discipline is severely punished, even if you want to make an example to the monkeys!" At the end, Liu Chan's words were already somewhat bloody.

Du Fu has been with Guan Yu for nearly ten years, and he is absolutely loyal to Guan Yu.Although the person in front of me is the son of the king of Hanzhong, he actually has no military power. What he is now commanding is the supervising team to maintain military discipline. Although the order issued by the son beyond his authority is reasonable, their supervising team also has self-respect He Fadu, without Guan Junhou's order, they would certainly not be able to carry it out.

Du Fu had no choice but to say: "My lord, do you have an order from the prince? Otherwise, even if your order is correct, the general will not be able to carry it out."

Liu Chan suddenly became a little annoyed, and shouted: "Even if there is no order from Guan Junhou, so what, I am the heir of the king of Hanzhong! Could it be that what I say is not an order?"

Du Fu was obviously not frightened by Liu Chan's words, and he still said neither humble nor overbearing: "You are indeed the heir of the King of Hanzhong. But now the military power of the Jingzhou Army is in the hands of Guan Junhou, and all actions of the last general can only be obeyed by Guan Junhou." Yes. My son, please don’t embarrass the last general.”

Sure enough, what kind of commander can lead what kind of soldiers!Guan Yu is proud and defiant, and the people under him all have eyes above the top!
Liu Chan saw that Du Fu was really ignorant, and he talked nicely to him, but he used Guan Yu to suppress me?

Liu Chan was not without anger, and immediately became annoyed. He drew out his saber, pointed at Du Fu and said, "I will give you two ways to go now. One, immediately let all the members of the supervisory team set out to carry out my orders; Two, die by my sword!"

When Du Fu saw Liu Chan uttering such domineering words, his expression changed involuntarily.After being silent for a while, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Chan, saying, "Even if the prince cuts off the head of the junior general, the latter must still abide by his duties and not follow your orders casually!"

Liu Chan was surprised when he heard that, this Du Fu is actually a tough man who is not afraid of death, but he is quite courageous. What he likes most in his life is a man with backbone.

He couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly, and looked at Du Fu who was kneeling on the ground.He was wearing a black leather armor. He was about 30 years old. He must be taller than Zhao Feng. The muscles on his arms were bulging. He was a strong man!
Liu Chan let out a long breath, trying to calm down his anger.Suddenly, the long sword in Liu Chan's hand swung forward and plunged into the ground in front of Du Fu.Du Fu's face suddenly turned a little pale. Did Shizi really want to kill himself in front of him?
Zhao Feng's thoughts were the same as Du Fu's, thinking that the son wanted Du Fu to commit suicide.But now that Zhuge Qiao is not here, I am afraid that the only person who can talk is himself. He quickly persuaded: "My son, calm down, General Du is just fulfilling his duties. You should bypass him this time, and wait for him." It’s not too late to deal with him after we go back.”

Liu Chan's answer was completely beyond Zhao Feng's expectation. He glanced at Zhao Feng and said, "This son has no intention of killing him, why are you so nervous?!"

Then, Liu Chan said to Du Fu, "Du Fu, listen to me. Although you not only disobeyed me today, but also contradicted me, I appreciate your devotion to duty, so this sword is given to you by this prince." Yes. After the Northern Expedition is over, if you are still alive, come to me with this sword!" Of course, this sword is not the female sword that Liu Bei gave Liu Chan, it is just Liu Chan's personal sword.

Hearing this, Du Fu immediately felt relieved, and thanked Liu Chan again: "Thank you for the sword, my lord!" After saying that, he pulled out the sword and held it flat on top of his head.

Liu Chan knew that he couldn't handle it now, so he could only hope that Guan Yu could listen to his warning.So what I can do now is to try my best to stop the possible surprise attack of the other party.

However, Liu Chan was also praying in his heart, hoping that his thinking was wrong. Cao Jun did not think of going out of the city to launch a surprise attack.But, can Liu Chan really get his wish?
