Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 244 Old Events of Marquis Huaiyin

The same piece of information, depending on the degree of understanding, will eventually produce completely different results.

Just like the judgment of Huang Zhong.

Cao Ren was not very familiar with the Xiangfan battlefield, so he read the intelligence records left by Le Jin overnight after arriving, and recruited local Jingzhou people such as Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and Wenpin to participate in military planning.

Guan Yu's plan is not difficult to guess. He sent a partial army with Huang Zhong, a local man, in command, and built a fortress to lock Xiangyang City based on the favorable terrain of Xian Mountain.

In this way, there is a dead end of the Han River in the north of Xiangyang, and a camp between two mountains in the south, so it is naturally difficult to move.

But it just so happened that Le Jin was the best at attacking the city and destroying the stronghold, and he was the first to capture the flag, Cao Ren thought.

Who is Huang Zhong?Kuai Yue and Cai Mao thought to themselves.

Therefore, Cao Ren also had vague expectations for Le Jin when he attacked Fancheng with all his strength.

But looking at the thin layer of water in the camp, Cao Ren just realized that there seemed to be something wrong with this information.

"What's going on in Shandu?"

Standing in the water, Cao Ren asked Kuai Yue without changing his expression.

It was already early in the morning, and since the forced capture of Fancheng had failed, Cao Ren simply ordered the army to retreat slowly to build a stronghold, and then forced himself and his soldiers to take a rest after working hard for several days to let their heads become clear again.

After all, the next battle will be more difficult, and he will have to adjust to his poor state.

Ever since he heard that Wancheng was besieged, Kuai Yue had been a little distracted. His face turned pale and he took a moment to reply:

"General Wenpin led his troops to check last night. Liu Bei's army attacked Shandu and relied on the Han River to confront them."

"The veteran general was good at archery and had crossbows. He pressed across the river and made it difficult to cover the gap in the dike. General Wen gathered his troops and retreated."

Cao Ren thought about it and said to himself:
"It seems that Lejin has been defeated and Xiangfan has been lost."

Kuai Yue's face turned two points paler. Although he didn't understand how Huang Zhong, an old man, defeated Le Jin, their Jingzhou clique must bear the responsibility.

Moreover, Cao Ren now didn't even bother to ask whether Cai Mao was dead or captured, which had already shown part of his attitude.

The sense of crisis in Kuai Yue's heart became stronger and stronger, so he steeled himself and suggested:
"If it is cut off, it will be cut off. Now the general should quickly assist Wancheng."

Since Jingzhou was divided into two, Xiangfan became the front line. People moved inland to farm, and farm camps were set up in Xinye, Anzhong, Rangxian and other places.

Big surnames were also moved inland, either to Xudu or to Wancheng, including the Kuai family.

Cao Ren did not look at Kuai Yue, but stared at Fancheng, which he had almost captured, with a look of regret in his eyes.

Of course Wancheng needs to be saved. Apart from where the prime minister is, there is another more pressing issue...

"Cao's army should have very little food left."

On Fancheng, Xu Shu looked over and analyzed with Zhao Lei:

"Cao's army was short of food and grass. He attacked urgently for three days. The soldiers did not stop day and night, and there was endless smoke in the camp."

"If you want your soldiers to serve to the death, they should be well fed and paid. The consumption of food and grass will be even greater than usual."

Zhao Lei also had a faint smile on his face:
"Now that we have failed, and since we are unable to attack again, we will definitely return quickly, not only to relieve the siege, but also to collect food."

The terrain of Fancheng is open to the north, so it can be seen clearly from the city wall. Since the battle, Cao Ying has sent one cavalry after another to the north, but there are few large carriages coming from the south to enter Cao Ying.

Moreover, the two of them could see clearly that the smoke rising from Cao Ying was not as much as before.

After taking one last look at Cao Ying, Xu Shu descended from the city wall.

After the Han River overflowed, the battlefield turned into mud, which was both good and bad.

The morale of Cao's army plummeted, allowing Fancheng to turn the corner. However, in this muddy land, Fancheng could not take the opportunity to send troops to harass and delay Cao's army's return to the north.

One is unable to attack and the other is unable to pursue. In this case, it is better to make plans in advance.

In Xu Shu's heart, the Battle of Fancheng was over. Next, he needed to find a way to bring more fresh troops, compete with Cao Ren for support speed, and join forces with General Yunchang at Wancheng.

With all kinds of thoughts running through his head, Xu Shu also quietly felt a little regret in his heart.

Xuande Gong's men and horses are still too few. If there are more than [-] troops and horses in this battle, there may not be such a big effort.

Suppressing his unrealistic thoughts, Xu Shu urgently ordered:

"Go to Xiangyang City quickly and ask General Huang to come here."

"We need to leave immediately to assist General Guan!"

When Ma Liang hurriedly went to find General Huang after listening to the Fancheng messenger's story, Wancheng North had already entered a confrontation.

Three thousand riders rushed to Bowang in the evening of the previous day and took the risk of building a pontoon bridge to rush across to Wancheng.

However, Guan Ping, who was hiding in Xi'e County, suddenly came out with [-] soldiers and horses, defeated the enemy halfway across the river and attacked, making some gains and burning the pontoon bridge.

The plan to rush across the river was shattered, and there were enemy troops on the other side watching eagerly. General Cao Qi simply ordered to station on the spot and look across the river, waiting for the rear troops to arrive and break the enemy.

The next day, Cao Hong arrived with [-] cavalry. He couldn't help but cursed at the Guanzi flag blocking their progress.

As long as they are generals under Cao Cao, they have some opinions on Guan Yu.

However, after Cao Hong cursed angrily, he did not give an impulsive order. Instead, he turned around and asked:

"If I wait a moment, my brother will be in danger. How do you think Wen Lie will defeat the enemy?"

"Uncle." Cao Xiu, Cao Wenlie, and Cao Hong greeted each other:

"Wancheng is in danger. Our army is coming with supplies and supplies. Although we will win in a long battle, the only way to win this battle is quickly." This simple argument coincided with what Cao Hong had in mind, so he couldn't wait to say:

"Hurry up."

Cao Hong knew very well how much he had, so every time he went out to the army, he would always bring his young nephew with him, firstly to promote and get close to him, and secondly to make up for his own shortcomings.

Thinking of this, Cao Hong couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known that his eldest brother was in critical condition, he should have brought Cao Zhen with him.

However, it was also important for Cao Zhen to lead troops in Yecheng to frighten the surnames. After all, most of the luggage for this trip was donated by the surnames.

Cao Xiu was three parts excited and three parts nervous. Of course he knew who Guan Ziqi was opposite.

He had never seen the white horse rescue the siege with his own eyes, but he had seen with his own eyes how Liu Bei was defeated in Changbanpo. Guan Yu was really invincible. Why didn't Changbanpo use one for a thousand?

How can a Hedong desperado compare to a son of an aristocratic family who is familiar with military strategy?
Cao Xiuzhi proudly proposed his plan. He, Cao Wenlie, should be a blockbuster!
After noon, Cao Jun once again began to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river.

When the pontoon was launched into the water, some soldiers came ashore as soon as possible, and then tried hard to form a formation with Pao Ze in an attempt to stabilize the line and buy time and space for Cao's soldiers behind him.

In Cao's army camp, Cao Xiu sighed, what a pity, such a good plan, Guan Yu is not here?It almost feels like ogling a blind man.

He saw the young general who looked like Guan Yu taking the lead, leading his troops to fight bravely, and vowed to drive back Cao's army crossing the river.

It will be as you wish soon, Cao Xiuxin said.

Liu Bei's army pressed forward, and Cao's soldiers who crossed the river were quickly defeated. Some soldiers even fled and rushed back to Cao's main formation. For a while, there was a little commotion in the military formation, and the entire military formation began to retreat, seeming to want to Keep distance from the rout.

However, the defeat of Cao's army was too ugly. Guan Ping hesitated for a moment, but then made up his mind and decided to pursue them one after another. Unknowingly, he led his troops to cross the center line of the pontoon bridge.

That's it!Cao Xiu stood still, holding his neck and hoping Liu Bei's army would enter the urn.

And at this moment, in Xi'e County, hundreds of cavalrymen shot out of the horse like an arrow from the string.

The leader's red horse, with a red face, drew his sword and galloped.

Cao Xiu opened his eyes wide, and a surge of ecstasy surged into his heart: "Quickly, retreat further and lure him over!"

Cao Hong next to him was hesitant to speak, but felt a chill running through his body.

But in fact, there was no need for so many reactions. Hundreds of cavalry entered the formation, smashing Cao's army's already disorganized formation into even more disarray.

And in the middle, a horse rushed in like a red ghost, dodging left and right without slowing down, staggering towards Cao Xiu before charging towards him.

Cao Xiu was furious. Guan Yu actually regarded the army as nothing?The army is encircling, this animal is bound to die, the white horse is lucky enough to kill it, do you really think you are invincible?

In front of the horse, Cao Xiu stabbed with his long spear, but suddenly he saw the fierce general leaning down to avoid the thrust.

When he got up from the horse, he saw his legs holding the horse's belly, one hand holding the middle of the strange knife, and the other hand holding the tail of the strange knife. The tip of the knife hanging on the ground drew a full moon.

Cao Xiu saw his uncle trying to stop him, but the full moon passed through the pole without any hindrance. Then the full moon passed from his left shoulder to his right abdomen.

Cao Hong's eyes widened, he looked up to the sky and fell from his horse.

Guan Yu turned around on his horse, cut off his head with the Yanyue knife, and then raised Qingtian with the tip of the knife:
"The thief will be crowned! Victory!"

Guan Ping was the first to respond, standing up and shouting: "Wan Sheng!"

Then he stabbed a stunned Cao soldier through with his sword. Only then did the soldiers behind him understand what happened and shouted in unison:
"Wan Sheng!"

So what was originally a false defeat to lure the enemy turned into a real rout.

Cao Xiu, who had already rolled to the ground without the courage to break away, heard Guan Yu hum:

"You also want to follow the old example of Marquis Huaiyin?"

Cao Xiu was horrified. He secretly raised his head and realized that Guan Yu was talking to his uncle's body.

For a moment, Cao Xiu couldn't help but feel sad, but he still suppressed his tears, used his horses to block his way, blended into the broken troops, and fled far away.

Shang's father is still trapped in Wancheng, he cannot die here!
He is Shang's father's thousand-mile horse. Even if he dies, he must carry Shang's father out of danger first!

Guan Yuhun didn't care about this. He and his third brother had few troops and were unable to attack the city. The situation in Wancheng was still unclear, so arbitrary capture and surrender might be a drag.

Therefore, Guan Yu just led his own soldiers to charge back and forth, seize their baggage, and completely disperse Cao's troops in multiple directions.

After returning to the shore of Feishui, Guan Ping was the first to greet him:
"The general is brave!"

There was no joy on Guan Yu's face, and he just asked:
"Do you know it's a ploy?"

He could see it clearly in Xi'e County. Guan Ping hesitated before catching up with the floating bridge.

Guan Ping raised his head and spoke forcefully:

"Knowing that he will be deceived and defeated, but seeing that he is about to move forward, you will know that he will die."

"If a general raids the formation, what should I fear?"

Guan Yu was silent for a moment. This son was already quite capable, but he still said:

"If..."

Guan Ping has already said first:
"If there is no one to raid the formation, drive them to a retreat, burn their pontoon bridges, and then retreat."

It was rare for this pair of serious father and son to laugh together.
