The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 250 Absolute military power
In the following days, Liu Chan stepped up his propaganda campaign in order to force Cao Ren out of Fancheng.During the day, he kept sending people to the city to shout; at night, he sent archers to shoot all kinds of propaganda and all kinds of news about Guan Yu's victory in the north into the city in the form of white silk.

As a result, Cao Bing, who had already begun to wear off the battle in Fancheng, felt more and more resentment towards Cao Ren's idea of ​​sticking to Fancheng.

However, in order to suppress the soldiers, Cao Ren had no choice but to continuously send his personal guards to monitor and recover the white silk, and closely monitor the soldiers' every move on weekdays, which seemed to form a white terror.

However, Cao Ren is not the kind of master who accepts everything.He was also quick to respond.During the daytime, since Liu Chan usually only sent a small group of troops to the city to shout out, Cao Ren would immediately send cavalry out of the city to attack.

But those soldiers did not intend to fight, so as soon as Cao Jun's cavalry was dispatched, they immediately turned around and ran away.What also made Cao Jun's cavalry dumbfounded was that the running speed of the soldiers was so fast that they were not much slower than the cavalry.In fact, this is all thanks to the morning run in Liu Chan's daily training.

Moreover, those cavalry had already received Cao Ren's order, as long as they drove the Jingzhou army away, they could not pursue them too far, so as not to fall into Liu Chan's tricks.

Liu Chan soon felt that his soldiers were too useless to flee like this every day.He immediately thought of a way to deal with it, and simply sent out the thousand cavalrymen in his hands every time, and let them set off to Fancheng to roar every day.

Facing so many cavalry from Liu Chan, Cao Ren really didn't dare to send cavalry out to drive them away.In fact, Liu Chan had already calculated correctly. Cao Ren's current cavalry in the city was only about 500, and it was impossible to send them all at once.

Otherwise, once the two sides fall into a stalemate, Liu Chan will definitely increase his troops immediately.However, Cao Ren's defense of the city was already extremely difficult, and there was no rescue force at all, so his main cavalry was finally destroyed.This is the result that Cao Ren simply cannot afford to lose!
Liu Chan was convinced of Cao Ren's point, so when he felt good, he personally led the team to the city for a cutscene, and felt the thrill of roaring past the city with these thousand cavalry.

And Cao Ren also came up with a way to deal with Liu Chan's night archery team.In addition to strictly ordering his soldiers to move around at night, he also prepared dozens of crossbows on the three city heads in the southeast and north.And every night, the soldiers in the city would throw torches down the city from time to time, illuminating the ground within hundreds of steps below the city like daytime.

So in the beginning, Liu Chan's archery team couldn't use the night to get close to the city. Even if they got close, they were not a strong opponent at all, and they suffered a lot.

Liu Chan then called Ma Liang and Zhuge Qiao to discuss, and he really came up with a new solution for them.Liu Chan asked the craftsmen in the army to make more than a dozen large kites every day, and installed an upside-down bamboo basket with a cover on it, and tied a slipknot with a rope as long as the kite on the lid of the bamboo basket.

Then, Liu Chan put the cloth filled with propaganda text in the bamboo basket.

So at night, after measuring the wind direction, the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army flew the kite over Fancheng.Then the soldiers at the bottom pulled the slipknots of the bamboo baskets, and the cloth inside fell like snow, and fell to various places in Fancheng along with the wind.
Cao Ren looked up at the sky under the moonlight, the white silk flying all over the sky like flying catkins, he couldn't help opening his mouth wide, and then he felt powerless, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

But still full of love and wisdom.He immediately sent hundreds of Qingqi out of the city, trying to wipe out all the Jingzhou troops flying kites on the mountain.

But how could Liu Chan make them happy? He had already set up a mixed troop of two thousand cavalry at the foot of the mountain to closely protect the kites on the mountain.As a result, the cavalry sent out by Man Chong naturally did not dare to go forward to fight, and in the end they could only return without success.

For several days in a row, facing Liu Chan's endless tricks, Cao Ren was almost driven crazy, and he never had a good night's sleep.

In less than three or four days, Cao Ren's eye circles were as black as a panda's, and he was a little shaky when he walked.And Man Chong was obviously under a lot of pressure, and he didn't look as good as before.

It seems that Liu Chan's pressure on the two generals, Cao and Wei, in just a few days is much greater than the pressure that Guan Yu put on them during the siege of the city for several months!They probably won't last long.

On this day, Liu Chan finally received a letter from Guan Yu.In fact, in the past two days, officials continued to come to plead for Guan Feng, but they were all turned away by Liu Chan.

Guan Xing and Guan Suo were actually very anxious, but they also knew that it was not easy for them to intercede, so after they made up their minds, they asked Guan Suo's three wives to come forward. After all, women are easier to talk to.

Sure enough, Liu Chan received three sister-in-laws.Under their persuasion, Liu Chan finally gave in and allowed them to visit Guan Feng once a day.

However, Guan Yu's letter was sent only now, which was a little later than Liu Chan expected.Liu Chan guessed in his heart that this was either because Guan Yu was really busy with the war on the northern front and had no time to take care of Guan Feng's affairs;

Liu Chan frowned, staring at the letter in his hand, then stood up from his seat, and turned around in the handsome tent with his hands behind his back.

After a while, Liu Chan seemed to have finally made up his mind, reached out and opened the wax on the envelope, and took out the letter paper.

After Liu Chan read the contents of the letter, his brows immediately relaxed, and a smug smile rose from the corner of his mouth.Because Guan Yu's letter really came to intercede for Guan Feng. Although the words in it were extremely euphemistic, Liu Chan knew at a guess that this letter must be Wang Fu's trick.

Liu Chan immediately threw away the letter paper, and then ordered Zhuge Qiao to come over and write the letter for him.

Zhuge Qiao quickly came to the tent and found a piece of paper dropped on the ground beside Liu Chan, so he picked it up from the ground.After Zhuge Qiao read it, he couldn't help wondering: "My son, this is a letter from Guan Junhou. Why did you throw it on the ground?"

Liu Chan waved his hand and smiled, "Throw it away and throw it away, it's nothing special. Since you have already picked it up, then put it away for me. Oh, by the way, you prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones now, and help me give them to you." Second Uncle replied with a letter."

On the second day, Guan Yu received a letter from Liu Chan.He just smiled slightly at this, because Liu Chan would definitely sell himself a face, and would release Guan Feng soon.But when Guan Yu opened the letter and read it, his red face suddenly turned red.

With a bang, Guan Yu's big palm slapped on the table case, almost shaking his handsome case to pieces.

It turned out that Liu Chan vomited bitterness to Guan Yu in his heart, saying that he had no absolute power in the army, that he was constrained by his subordinates in handling many things, and that there were many old rules in the army, which made him unable to handle many things.So and so, but nothing about Guan Feng was mentioned.

In fact, any fool who has read this letter will know that in Liu Chan’s letter, Prosperity and Miscellaneous said so much nonsense, with only one purpose: I am being restrained by you Guan Yu in the army, and I, Liu Chan, need you to delegate power to me!

Guan Yu couldn't help but heaved a long sigh. The son is only 14 years old now, and he is already so obsessed with power. How will he get it when he grows up...

Guan Yu sat back in his seat helplessly, and immediately wrote a letter to Guan Xing and Guan Suo.The internal statement: Since you two brothers have entered the command of the eldest son Liu Chan, you must abide by the authority of the eldest son, and you should not use your father's authority to fight against the eldest son, and so on.

However, Guan Yu did not specifically write a reply letter to Liu Chan, but just copied a copy of the letter to Guan Xing and sent someone to Liu Chan directly.Guan Yu's doing this is indeed more effective than writing a letter to Liu Chan alone. Guan Yu's style is really different!
