Chapter 788
"What's the noise?" Zhao Kuangyin was woken up by the deafening sound of horseshoes. Although he could isolate the sound from the air in You Are Me, he couldn't isolate the sound of galloping horses.

The secret room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, Zhao Kuangyin rests inside, while Zhao Pu rests outside and handles official business.

Zhao Pu was also too tired, [-] troops were defeated in Shuizhai, almost lost, and Zhao Kuangyin was seriously injured and passed out.He had to take care of Zhao Kuangyin, prevent him from accidents, and deal with government affairs. Zhao Pu couldn't help feeling deeply tired.

Zhao Pu stayed up all night for the past two days, and fell asleep lying on the table while dealing with official duties. The sound of war horses did not wake Zhao Pu up, but Zhao Kuangyin's soft words woke Zhao Pu up.Hearing the movement in the inner room, Zhao Pu hurriedly got up and walked in. Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin had woken up, Zhao Pu was overjoyed and walked over.

"Zeping, where am I?" Zhao Kuangyin was lying on the bed, seeing the darkness around him, and the room was lit with candles, so he couldn't help asking Zhao Pu.

"My lord, you are in the underground secret room!" Zhao Pu cupped his hands and replied, "My lord was injured by Dian Wei and fell into the water to catch the cold. Now I need to recuperate. The Han army comes to challenge every day and makes a huge momentum. I am worried about my lord." Unable to rest, we built a secret room. Unfortunately, the sound of the cavalry stepping on the ground could not be blocked, and it still disturbed the lord."

"Most of the sound is cut off, which is already very good." Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said, "How is the situation now?"

"My lord's health is related to the situation. The faster my lord recovers, the better the situation. If my lord's health is not good, the situation will be bad." Zhao Pu looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said, "You need to rest."

Zhao Kuangyin is a smart man. Hearing Zhao Pu's words, he waved his hands and said, "During the time I'm recuperating, you will be in charge of all military and political affairs. Don't disturb my recuperation."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely stabilize the situation!" Zhao Pu bowed his hands and retreated.

Walking out of the secret room, he heard the loud shouts of killing outside the city. Zhao Pu frowned and went up to the top of the city. Seeing Wang Yanzhang, Cao Ning and others fighting with the fierce generals of the Han army, he couldn't help saying angrily: "My lord needs to rest. Xiaoshi, give me Mingjin and let them come back quickly."

clang!clang!clang!clang!clang!
There was a sound of gold ringing, Wang Yanzhang, Yuexi and other four generals under the city heard it, and hurriedly forced their opponents back and returned to Fancheng.

"You guys, why did you fight without authorization?" Zhao Kuangyin stared at Yuexi and the other four and reprimanded: "My lord needs to rest now. Once you go out to fight, the soldiers on both sides will wave their flags and shout, and the momentum will not stop."

"But even if we don't show up, the Han army will not stop." Yue Xi pointed to the drums brought by the Han army below the city and the cavalry riding their horses.

"If we ignore him, they will be bored and will retreat on their own. In short, during the time my lord is recuperating, you are not allowed to fight the Han army." Zhao Pu ordered with a cold snort.

Cao Ning said with a worried face: "If our army road appears, the Han army will definitely show off its power and suppress our army's morale."

"Suppressing morale?" Zhao Pu sneered and said, "How does the Han army suppress morale? Let him talk, let him scold. If you can't listen to it, just plug your ears. If you can't stand it, don't read it. Now everything is in the hands of the lord." The body comes first."

"No!" As soon as Zhao Kuangyin's body was mentioned, the four generals had no choice but to surrender even if they were aggrieved.

A wooden raft engraved with the word "Wan Zhan" was hung on the top of the city of Fancheng. Seeing this, Yang Yansi, Qin Yong and others under the city ordered the soldiers to wave flags and shout, and spread the news of Zhao Kuangyin's death.

Of course Zhao Jun didn't believe this news, but there were so many Han soldiers, [-] people, and [-] mouths. In a blink of an eye, he outlined hundreds of ways to die for Zhao Kuangyin.After all, Zhao Kuangyin was gone, and without seeing Zhao Kuangyin, this rumor would gradually be believed by Zhao Jun.

For the next few days, the Han army, led by Yang Yansi and other generals, went to Fancheng to challenge.Although Zhao Jun refused to fight, his morale was weakened by the suppression of the Han army. Because Zhao Kuangyin did not show up for a long time, rumors in the city gradually arose.

But Zhao Kuangyin needs to rest now, and cannot see them to prove that he is safe, so Zhao Pu can't stop the rumors, he can only suppress them.

More than ten days passed in a flash.

For Liu Bian's two reinforcements, Zhuge Liang sent his general Jiang Wei, Lu Zhishen, Li Shunchen, Hua Rong and other generals to join Liu Bian with [-] soldiers.

Zhuge Liang and Gao Siji sit in Chang'an, and Sima Yi is the one who sees the needles after all.He must be paying close attention to the current battle here. If Chang'an has sent too many soldiers and horses, Sima Yi will definitely send troops to attack Guanzhong, so Chang'an can only send [-] troops.

Xie An was promoted to the commander-in-chief of this battle, so Xie An was responsible for the transfer of these troops.

Xie An, the soldier who came from Chang'an, placed him in the area of ​​Wancheng, and set up a defense line in the north of Nanyang to prevent Yanzhou from sending troops to rescue Zhao Kuangyin.

In Nanjun, the Han army has a total of about 13 soldiers and horses.

Among them, [-] troops were sent down from Jingzhou, [-] sailors, and [-] infantry.If the [-] navy is on the front line at Xiakou, the [-] infantry will be at Jiangling.

In addition, there are [-] soldiers and horses brought by Liu Yu from Nanyang, [-] sailors are in Xiakou, and [-] infantry are in Jiangling.

The current situation in Nanjun is that Xiakou has [-] soldiers and horses, and Jiangling has [-] soldiers and horses.

Originally, Liu Yu was going to lead the troops directly to Xiakou to command and fight against Jiangdong, but Liu Biao died suddenly.Therefore, Liu Yu had to postpone the funeral for Liu Biao and stabilize the internal situation in Jingzhou.

Now, more than half a month has passed since Liu Biao's death, and Liu Yu used his methods to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou.

Although Zhao Kuangyin's troops were in Fancheng, Xie An, as the commander-in-chief, did not let Liu Yu's troops go north and cross the river to besiege Fancheng.

One is Liu Yu's status. If Liu Yu crosses the river and Xie An is the commander-in-chief, wouldn't it embarrass Liu Yu?

Therefore, Xie An just ordered Liu Yu to deploy defenses in Dangyang County, Nanjun.

At the same time, Xie An ordered the Xiakou water army, and sent Gan Ning to lead a [-] water army to Hanshui to deploy defenses at the Hanshui River in Nanjun.

This move can not only intercept Zhao Jun, but also attack Jiangdong's reinforcements.

If Jiangdong soldiers and horses want to send troops to rescue, they must send troops from Jiangxia, or arrive at Fancheng along the Han River.Either enter the territory of Nanjun, let Zhao Kuangyin escape into Nanjun, and he will send troops to respond.

In order to make Zhao Kuangyin choose to flee to Nanjun and join Jiangdong soldiers, Xie An also made great efforts.

All grass and trees are soldiers!

Xie An used a tactic used in history to deal with the former Qin Dynasty.

The Han army in Fancheng has only [-] soldiers and horses, which is on par with Zhao Jun. To be honest, it is a bit impossible to intercept Zhao Jun, but if you want Zhao Jun to follow his own plan, you can only use tricks.

Just ten days after Zhao Kuangyin recuperated, the plan to turn everything into an army was launched.

Therefore, Xie An ordered the soldiers of the Han army to set up camps in the east, west and north of Fancheng.The south of Fancheng is close to the Han River, so it is impossible to build a camp.

The three camps are not far from Fancheng, about five miles away.

This distance blurred the vision, Xie An used grass and trees as soldiers, and scarecrows were mixed among the soldiers. Around the camp, cavalry was everywhere every day, as if a large army of soldiers and horses were approaching.

Surrounded by three missing one.

Fancheng had to be surrounded in three directions, so they had to flee from the south.The south is Nanjun. If Zhao Kuangyin fled to the south, he would face Liu Yu's obstruction.

It has been more than 20 days since Zhao Kuangyin was injured, and Zhao Kuangyin's wound has scabbed over. With such a big change outside the city, Zhao Kuangyin finally couldn't bear it anymore, and went out of the secret room to meet with his generals.
