And a few days later, they also received the news that Liu Chan arrived in Xiangyang and Wenpin's entire army was wiped out.

It's just because of some deviation in the news transmission. The news they heard was that Liu Chan cut off Wenpin's retreat after arriving in Xiangyang, which led to the annihilation of Wenpin's entire army.

Everyone has always been quite afraid of Liu Chan's use of troops. Hearing that Liu Chan arrived in Xiangyang and captured the veteran general Wenpin as soon as he made a move, they were even more terrified.

Xia Houshang also knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly called Xu Huang and Meng Da to discuss the war, to see if he was going to continue to rely on Wudang Mountain for defense, or go out to fight Guan Yu.

Xu Huang first stated his opinion.

He thought that the battle had been completely defeated, and Jia Xu's stupid strategy had almost killed Wei Jun.

But after all, Guan Yu was going all the way to the north, and now Fancheng is still there, and his grain road is threatened.

The best way now is to contact Cao Pi as soon as possible, and expand the original small battle into a big one.

Trying to let Cao Pi send troops, Cao Wei assembled an army of [-], and directly used cavalry to attack Guan Yu's infantry-based troops in open areas.

Even if Guan Yu and Liu Chan can fight again, they will certainly not be able to stop the many cavalrymen taking turns to attack.

There is definitely no hope of annihilating Guan Yu, but it is not a big problem to drive Guan Yu back to Xiangyang.

As for what to do next time Guan Yu comes again...

Then think about it next time.

As Cao Pi's confidant, Xia Houshang's information is far from comparable to Xu Huang's.

He knew that Cao Pi was still planning major events and could not concentrate all the troops on this road.

But the matter was so important that he didn't dare to reveal it to Xu Huang casually, so he nodded his head, turned to Meng Da, and said:

"How does Zidu feel?"

Meng Da frowned into Sichuan characters. He looked at the map and said seriously:

"Even if there is no matter of civil employment, Guan Yu occupies Xiangyang, and sooner or later he will go north.

Now Guan Yu is attacking Nanxiang, and he is in a hurry. He is also afraid of Wei Wang's reinforcements, so he dare not make a big attack, but dare to confront our army here.

I guess there must be someone under King Wei's command who plans to prevent Guan Yu from going crazy.

I might as well sit and guard the three counties and serve the King of Wei.

After persisting for a year, the king of Wei must have a killer move, and I will do my best to repay it. "

Meng Da said this without haste, so that Xu Huang didn't know what to say for a while.

Now Wei Jun's grain road is only threatened, not completely cut off, and there is still a certain amount of grain in the East Three Counties.

Guan Yu was afraid of Cao Wei's support, and he didn't dare to directly attack the army for a decisive battle.

At this time, Xu Huang asked Cao Pi to support him, which was a bit too cautious.

that……

"Just Yizidu." Xia Houshang made up his mind immediately without waiting for Xu Huang to say anything.

"The grain in the three counties is enough for half a year.

If Guan Yu is willing to confront me, then he will do it. "

Xu Huang was helpless, so he could only bite the bullet and say:

"Keep, that must be kept,

But if the Shu army continues to march northward, we can't just sit back and watch the sons die, when the time comes..."

"Don't worry, Gongming," Xia Houshang quickly interrupted, "The three eastern counties are not important. If we really can't defend them, our army should hurry up and flee from Wuguan to Guanzhong."

Well, that's a good idea.

Although I don't know what Cao Pi and Jia Xu are thinking about, but as long as they have a plan, Xu Huang will be relieved.

A smile appeared on the corner of Meng Da's mouth, he saluted seriously, and said solemnly:

"Willing to die for the king of Wei, if Guan Yu comes, he will fight to the death and never retreat!"

Chapter 222 Last year's ambush is used this year (Add 8/12 for Luoye)

Of course, Liu Chan would not think that Jia Xu was directing blindly.

After all, even if Jia Xu, an expert who started fighting during Dong Zhuo's time, and the master general in "Three Kingdoms", even if his resourcefulness was overestimated, he would not rule out this kind of tactic.

As for Wenpin who dared to attack Xiangyang with a few hundred people...

This kind of thing should be purely accidental, not Jia Xu's fault.

If Wenpin were a little calmer, even if he was a little more restrained like Chang Diao, he wouldn't have sneaked into Xiangyang so easily, and his fame for a lifetime would be buried in the hands of a brutal general like Meifu.

Wenpin is still quite famous in history, and he is also an important force in the north of Cao Wei in "Three Kingdoms".

According to the point of traditional combat, Liu Chan should treat him as politely as he dealt with Man Chong and Yu Fan, and find a small courtyard to put him under house arrest.

But Zhuge Qiao quickly expressed that something was wrong.

"My son, in my opinion, if God Haotian has no other arrangements, he shouldn't be so polite to Wenpin."

"Why?"

Zhuge Qiao snorted coldly and said:

"Although Wenpin was forced to surrender to Cao Cao back then, over the years, he has repeatedly led his troops to embarrass our army, and he can be called the chief villain of Cao's army.

If you still take good care of him and take him as a general, I'm afraid... I'm afraid the kings will not accept it. "

Wenpin has been the vanguard of Cao Wei Jingzhou battlefield since Chibi,

Following Le Jin and Cao Ren successively, they have been fighting against Guan Yu.

Although Wenpin has never won a decisive victory, he is like an invincible Xiaoqiang,

Every time he was beaten away, he quickly made a comeback, and the beating became stronger and stronger. Guan Yu had long wanted to chop him up.

Let's talk about something more in-depth, and that is the Jingzhou family behind Wenpin.

The Jingzhou clan that supported Liu Bei was headed by Ma Liang, Pang Tong (Pang Lin after Pang Tong's death) and others.

Now after the integration of Ma Liang, a faction has been formed.

They have supported Liu Bei vigorously since Liu Bei was very difficult, and now they are finally seeing the dawn of victory.

It would be fine if Wenpin was a vulgar martial artist with no background, but behind him was a big family and a powerful family.

If there is a lot of courtesy to Wenpin, wouldn't it be a signal to those families who supported Liu Chan that he would be restored to the Han Dynasty, and those Jingxiang families who had surrendered to Cao Cao would also have the opportunity to come back and relive their old dreams?

This matter is not desirable.

Liu Chan didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns,

He nodded and said:

"I see.

Anyway, Wenpin was defeated and captured, unlike Yu Wenze, Pang Lingming, and Man Boning who voluntarily surrendered.

Send him to Jiangling and hand him over to Ma Jichang for disposal. "

Zhuge Qiao said solemnly:

"The son is wise."

After dealing with the matter of Wenpin, Liu Chan began to discuss with Guan Ping and others about going north to support Guan Yu in the battle.

With a resourceful person like Fazheng sitting in charge this time, Liu Chan finally didn't have to try his best to mobilize the atmosphere, and just delegate power to Fazheng.

"General Guan has already reached Yin County, and although Cao's army still has the main force, its morale is not stable.

In my humble opinion, our army should move north immediately, and the fight against Changdiao will not be stable? Try to wipe out the main force of Cao Wei in the field battle. "

The Cao army led by Chang Diao is not low in combat effectiveness? Its military quality is excellent, but Fancheng in Jiangbei is dilapidated? It is too close to the Han River? It is time to pull out this nail for this fierce attack across the river.

If they are all wiped out? Then the Han army will severely damage the main force of the Wei army for two consecutive years.

Even if the Wei army can fight again? The loss after this battle is too great? It can only be transferred to a state of full defense.

Huang Zhong, Ju Fu, and Ding Li were all fighting high, saying that they should start a big battle before the reinforcements from the Wei army from the Central Plains arrived, and eat up all the Wei army led by Chang Diao.

"Well, not bad... What do you think of Aqiao?"

"Your Majesty must have a plan in mind? Qiao obeys orders!"

Liu Chan: ...

I have so many people under my command, why do I have to ask him?

Seeing that everyone is high-spirited? Liu Chan hurriedly disbanded the team and went back to rest, preparing to hurry up and go north.

Guan Ping winked at Liu Chan, Liu Chan understood,

After everyone left, Liu Chan only left Guan Ping alone? Seeing Guan Ping's happy face, Liu Chan said curiously:

"I don't know where Brother Tan's joy comes from."

Guan Ping scratched his head embarrassedly and said:

"If it is as expected by the son? To capture Fancheng, you have to rely on Chang Diao,

I waited to withdraw from the siege before? I thought the prince’s prophecy was not effective, but today I found out? It turns out that the prince had already predicted today’s battle last year? "

Liu Chan:? ? ? ?

No, what's going on here?

Why is it my problem again?

Liu Chan hated Chang Diao as a human being when he was in Jiangling before, and he was captured for the second time after the Battle of Fancheng, and he probably guessed that Guan Ping used him to make some arrangements, which was regarded as his own internal response.

Since it was his own internal response, of course he couldn't cut it with a knife. At that time, Liu Chan casually asked Zhuge Qiao to keep Chang Diao, which might be useful when he attacked Fancheng (see Chapter 86 for details).

At that time, Guan Yu and Liu Chan were having an awkward dispute over continuing to march north or retreat south. Of course, he couldn't look down and ask Liu Chan for advice, so he asked Guan Ping to go to Zhuge Qiao to set up a routine.

Because Liu Chan strictly ordered Zhuge Qiao not to make up his mind, Zhuge Qiao relayed Liu Chan's instructions to Guan Ping in detail.

At that time, Guan Ping, who felt that Chang Diao had no use value, was overjoyed immediately, and arranged for Chang Diao to continue to fight.

After a series of turmoil, Guan Ping thought that Liu Chan's plan had failed, and it would be useless to attack Fancheng for a while.

Unexpectedly, Chang Diao, a funny man, went back to Fancheng after going around and around.

Moreover, he has now become Cao Wei's General Fenwei, against his own general, Ding Feng, who can be called the nemesis of Eastern Wu.

This time he went north, he sent Wenpin first, disintegrated Cao Wei's navy, and now he is squatting in Fancheng again-it is estimated that he will surrender with a greeting.

The use of Chang Diao has far exceeded Guan Ping's previous imagination.

Shizi is really ruthless.

The honest Guan Ping only knows how to scare Chang Diao and ask him to provide some benefits, there is no such genius as Shizi.

Liu Chan really convinced Guan Ping's god-level imagination.

He really said it casually at the time, who knew that Chang Diao's official position would grow bigger and bigger, so he didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Of course, Guan Ping didn't come here to brag about Liu Chan's use of troops.

He lowered his voice and said cautiously:

"Since the prince had already laid down the arrangement last year, he presumably already knows Cao Wei's movements like the palm of his hand.

Can the son give some advice and tell me what Cao Jun is going to do? "

Guan Ping is now also stunned by Jia Xu's plan.

Obviously, Wenpin and Chang Diao came to steal Xiangyang without hesitation.

It's very similar to the solution that the counselors of Soochow came up with, not like the layout of Jia Xu, a person who is sure of everything.

And according to the habits of the Wei army, if they really want to launch a large-scale battle, the generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family should lead the army.

Xia Houshang barely counts as one, but he and Xu Huang have only more than 1 soldiers together, which is not as many as Changdiao and Wenpin.

If the other generals of the Wei army didn't come to support them, are they all in Chang'an to prepare for the Northern Expedition of the King of Hanzhong?

It doesn't make sense.

Guan Ping and Fazheng couldn't figure out what Jia Xu was doing, so they could only ask Liu Chan, who had the help of Haotian God, in private.
