Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 76 Pang De vowed to kill Guan Yu tonight
  Fancheng.

Pang De and Dong Chao stood in front of Cao Ren and reported to Cao Ren the war outside the city.

Hearing Pang De claim to have shot Guan Yu in the forehead and seeing Guan Yu fall from his horse, Man Chong was slightly shocked: "General Pang, did you really shoot Guan Yu?"

"If you want to shoot Guan Yu, you have to break into Guan Yu's army within a hundred steps. How did you do it?"

Pound looked proud: "Although Guan Yu's central army is heavily guarded, they can't stop me. In the past, Guan Yu could gallop his horse under Yan Liang's command among thousands of troops. How come I can't get within a hundred steps of Guan Yu?"

Pound's words are often arrogant.

Cao Ren waved his hand and said: "Man Changshi, there is no need to ask more about this matter. Riding a horse and marching into battle is the skill of a fighting general, and it cannot be faked."

Cao Ren fought back and forth with Zhou Yu's vanguard army in Jiangling City, and Zhang Liao from Hefei also led troops into Sun Quan's middle army.

Cao Ren also recognized Pound's bravery.

Now I saw Pang De shoot Guan Yu with his arrow again, and his doubts about Pang De disappeared.

What's more, Dong Chao also saw Pang De break into Guan Yu's army, so there is no truth to this.

"General, why don't we take advantage of Guan Yu's arrow and rob the camp tonight to capture and kill Guan Yu!" Pang De proudly asked for his order.

How glorious it would be to capture Guan Yu!
  Man Chong frowned: "General, don't be careless. Although Guan Yu was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse, he doesn't know whether he will live or die."

"What's more, even if Guan Yu was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse today, his soldiers were not panicked. This shows that Guan Yu still has good soldiers in his army."

"If we rob the camp rashly, we might be ambushed."

Seeing Man Chong's objection, Pang De said anxiously: "Why does Man Chang Shi have the ambition of others to destroy his own prestige?"

"I learned a lesson when I was hunting wolves in the northwest: kill them while they are injured, otherwise they will be counterattacked!"

"I dare to conclude that Guan Yu was hit by an arrow and would be seriously injured even if he didn't die. This is the best opportunity to rob the camp!"

"If Guan Yu is captured and killed, General Zhengnan will become famous all over the world!"

Man Chong was cautious: "That being said, guarding Fancheng is more important than capturing Guan Yu."

"What's more, Guan Yu is good at deceit. In the past, he deceived Le into leaving the city, which led to the fall of Xiangyang."

"Don't let Fancheng fall into crisis because of greed for small profits, and miss the important events of King Wei!"

Pang De was eager to make contributions: "If Man Changshi is afraid, I will lead my troops to rob the camp; if we lose, I will come to see you. If we win, Man Changshi will not share my credit!"

Man Chong suddenly frowned, dissatisfied with Pound's arrogance.

When Cao Ren saw Man Chong and Pang De arguing, he interrupted and said, "Man Chang Shi, General Pang, please don't argue."

"General Pang is brave and shows his majesty in today's battle. If he robs the camp, he will surely capture and kill Guan Yu. Man Changshi's caution is not unreasonable. Fancheng cannot be lost."

"Since we want to rob the camp, we must first send spies to investigate the situation in Guan Yu's camp!"

"General Dong Chao, leave the spying to you. I want to know the reaction of Guan Yu's camp before dark."

Dong Chao accepted the order: "General, we will go here."

Cao Ren said to Pang De again: "General Pang, you go back to the camp to organize the troops and wait for my orders. Without my orders, you are not allowed to enter the army without permission!"

Pang De didn't say much when he saw this, so he and Dong Chao returned to the city to camp.

"General, are you really going to rob the camp?" Man Chong was worried.

Cao Ren smiled and said: "Having learned from Le Jin's mistakes, how could I easily leave the city? If I didn't say this, how could Pang De be willing to do so?"

"If Pang De robs the camp privately, wouldn't it be a big deal for me? It's better for me to send spies to investigate first and judge Guan Yu's life or death before deciding whether to rob the camp."

"Man Changshi, you first prepare some money, food and weapons to rob the camp. If there is a chance, we will capture Guan Yu tonight."

Seeing that Cao Ren still had the idea of ​​​​taking the camp in his words, Man Chong felt even more worried. Now that the information was unclear, Man Chong didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only prepare money, food and weapons.

By evening.

Dong Chao arrived at Fancheng and reported to Cao Ren the information obtained by the spies: "General, Guan Yu's camp is heavily guarded. The spies I sent out can only contact those who go out to fetch water."

"The camp has issued strict orders. Anyone who falsely claims that Guan Yu has been hit by an arrow will be killed immediately. If my spies hadn't paid for their lives with money, they would have been reported by the water collector."

"It's just strange that Guan Yu's camp rewarded the three armies today. There was no winner or loser in the morning battle, making it seem like they won."

Dong Chao's final tone was dissatisfied.

If we really want to talk about it, Guan Yu was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse. What do you mean by rewarding the three armies?
  "Anyone who is hit by an arrow will be immediately beheaded? Reward the three armies?" Cao Ren frowned, vaguely catching something.

a long time.

Cao Ren stood up and said, "This must be a trick to mislead the soldiers. I predict that Guan Yu will be seriously injured."

Dong Chao was puzzled: "The general is stupid, so please ask the general to clarify his doubts."

Cao Ren laughed and said, "Guan Yu was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse in the morning, but because the deputy general commanded him with restraint, it did not cause panic among the soldiers."

"The other party must have expected that I would send spies to find out the news, so they deliberately set up a trick to make me believe that Guan Yu was not hit by the arrow."

"How can you hide such clumsy tricks from me?"

"Go back and tell Pang De that there will be a surprise attack on Guan Yu's camp at midnight tonight. If Guan Yu is captured and killed, I will express my great service to the King of Wei!"

Dong Chao suddenly understood and left with great joy.

Man Chong came after hearing the news and hurriedly advised: "General, beware of fraud! Even if Guan Yu is seriously injured, Guan Yu's deputy general knows the soldiers, how can he not take precautions?"

Cao Ren laughed and said: "Don't worry about the long history! Don't you know that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in every battle?"

"I ordered Pang De to rob the camp, and then sent Niu Jin to lead an army to respond. No matter whether Guan Yu's lieutenant took precautions or not, he will definitely be defeated tonight!"

"I will lead another army to follow Niu Jin and lie down outside the city to prevent Guan Yu's lieutenant from ambushing the city again."

"Even if Pang De and Niu Jin are defeated, I can still help them return to camp."

"Everything is as expected. Does Manchangshi really think I am taking a risk?"

Seeing that Cao Ren was thoughtful, Man Chong became less worried.

But Man Chong felt something was wrong. As for what was wrong, Man Chong couldn't tell.

This is the passivity of defending the city.

The attackers can use all kinds of clever tricks, but the defenders can only passively guess at the idea of ​​​​attacking the city.

There will always be omissions.

Just like Wei Liaozi talks about defending a city, if the defender cannot enter the city and cross the border to meet the enemy, and cannot retreat to defend the dangerous fortress, he is not a good defender.

If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it.

"Tonight I will personally lead the people to patrol the city."

Man Chong finally thought of a conservative approach, leaving the city patrol to other generals, but Man Chong was not at ease.

Cao Ren nodded: "That's exactly what I meant. With a long history of guarding the city, I don't have any worries anymore!"

outside the city.

Pang De, who received the order to rob the camp, suddenly felt his blood boiling: "Tonight I will avenge General Zhengxi, cut off Guan Yu's head and present it to the King of Wei! Let Liu Bei also experience the pain of the death of the King of Wei's beloved general!"
