The weather has gradually become hotter.

Wei Kai's movements were not very skillful but he was more careful. The mutton was processed cleanly and then cut into pieces and thrown into the pot.

After stuffing firewood under the stove, considering that the taste of old sheep might not be satisfactory, Wei Kai even ran to the neighbors and exhausted his saliva before begging for a dozen peppercorns and throwing them into the pot.

From noon to simmering until the golden cucumber sinks, Wei Kai fishes out the fragrant mutton and puts it on a cutting board that has been washed many times, then mixes it with some sunflower seeds and leeks and chops it carefully.

Then with a swipe of the kitchen knife, a hole opened in the middle of the steamed cake that had just come out of the pan.

With a clasp of fingers, he opened the steamed cake, and with a flick of the kitchen knife, he stuffed the minced mutton into it. Then he scooped a spoonful of black beans from the nearby clay pot and put it in, and then poured a little bit of broth. In this way, the meat cake is it is done.

After making a basket in this way, Wei Kai covered it with clean Gebu and carefully lifted it up the west city wall.

Here the two generals Guan and Zhang are looking at Cao Jun in the distance and talking in low voices.

Hou Yin opened the basket and took a look. He was very satisfied, so he greeted:

General Guan, it's time for dinner.

So the top of the city turned into a man holding a meat pie, looking at Cao's soldiers marching silently in the distance.

Cao Ren, who led the heavy army, was prudent. He ordered Xu Huang and Yu Jin to each lead an army to the west of Wancheng to be on guard, and then personally supervised the army's northward march.

Zhang Fei finished off a meat pie in a few mouthfuls, and Wei Kai already had a look and stuffed another one into Zhang Fei's hand.

Stepping on the arrow stack, Zhang Fei complained while eating meat pie:

This Cao Zixiao has no courage! He leads a heavy army but he dare not attack the city!

Hou Yin was frightened when he heard this, for fear that Cao Jun, who had left An Sheng, would suddenly change his mind.

Fortunately, Guan Yu gave Hou Yin some reassurance:

Third brother, don't talk nonsense. The army is exhausted and short of food. It is not easy to retreat safely. How can we attack the city?

The grain, grass and baggage that should have been transported to Cao Ren's army were all piled up in Wancheng. This was Guan Yu's biggest reliance.

Zhang Fei smacked his lips and then felt a little regretful:

Then let them go like this?

Guan Yu carefully ate three more meatloaf, carefully wiped his beard and beard, and said:

I can't wait for more than ten thousand people. Defending Wancheng without losing is already a great achievement.

So Zhang Fei could only continue to sigh on the city wall.

Guan Yu and his soldiers were sighing because they felt that their pursuit of Cao Cao was about to fail.

Zhang Fei sighed at this time because he felt that he could not see Shu in Long.

Different ideas, similar results.

The sun gradually disappeared in the mountains to the west. Guan Yu saw that Cao Jun was not aggressive and chose to camp on the spot, and secretly thought in his heart:

It's really solid.

Since the night attack plan came to nothing, Guan Yu thought about it again and again, and finally chose to lead five hundred personal guards on horseback out of the city gate.

The slow opening of Wancheng immediately aroused Cao Ying's alert, and soon scouts circled around to check the situation.

Guan Yu pretended not to see him and rode his horse forward without leaving Wancheng's cover. He just shouted:

My old friend from Hedong is here. Why doesn't Xu Gongming come and talk to me?

Not long after, the sound of war drums sounded, and Xu Huang, surrounded by fine cavalry, also came to the front of the formation.

Guan Yu took a closer look and saw that there were at least thirty elite cavalry between him and Xu Huang. If it weren't for Xu Huang's armor and helmet, he could hardly see where this old friend was.

Why is Gongming like this? Guan Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

Xu Huang looked at the Yanyue Sword in Guan Yu's hand, but didn't answer, and said straight to the point:

Any advice from Yun Chang?

Guan Yu was silent for a moment. Although he knew through the light screen that this old friend had deceived him after the Seven Flooded Armies, after all, they were their own masters and there was no resentment.

If we are talking about surrendering, whether we betray the Lord or not is not a matter of time. Xu Huang, young and old, are still in Yecheng...

Therefore, Guan Yu simply said:

Is Gongming's injury getting better?

During the previous attack and defense of Fancheng, Xu Huang led his troops to attack the city first, but was struck by Guan Yu with a long sword and was injured in the waist.

Xu Huang touched his waist, but then he thought that Guan Yunchang slipped out of the battlefield quietly, came to attack Wancheng, and even captured Wancheng, and he felt a little frustrated for a moment.

Fortunately he's not dead.

For a while, the two generals were silent again. The elite soldiers of the two sides stared at each other with only one meaning written in their eyes:

My general is not good at words.

The awkward silence was broken by the fire and shouts of death from the southwest. Xu Huang suddenly turned around and said bitterly:

Guan Yunchang is so calculating!

At the same time, he said in his heart, if he hadn't been prepared earlier, he might have died tonight.

Guan Yu stood there blankly, watching Xu Huang riding away and wanted to say something, but in the end he just shook his head.

Behind him, the Wancheng Gate suddenly opened again, and Zhang Fei, who was dressed in armor, rode out with his troops, and then his face was filled with regret:

Second brother, why didn't Xu Huang stay?

The situation became too fast, and Guan Yu had no time to sigh. He immediately raised his sword to signal, and then led the troops sent by Zhang Fei and Wancheng to press forward.

Although he did not know the situation, Guan Yu also knew that he should intimidate Xu Huang and Yu Jin's troops at this time, so that they would have no time to worry about anything else and act as a countermeasure.

So the two military camps were also brightly lit, and Cao Bing looked at the enemy troops in the direction of Wancheng and stood ready.

This sudden confrontation did not last long, and someone soon came to report it, so Guan Yu once again led his troops back to Wancheng slowly.

After returning to the city, the first thing Guan Yu saw was Xu Shu and Huang Zhong who looked tired.

Fortunately, we did not disgrace our orders, and the common people guarding Fancheng was not lost. General Huang Zhong defeated Xiangyang by killing Lejin!

Now we have received five thousand reinforcements, and they are here to help the general!

Okay! Guan Yu had mixed feelings in his heart, but he just said a good word.

Although I had already gotten a rough idea from the military newspaper before, hearing Xu Shu say it himself, the meaning was obviously different.

Zhang Fei was much more unrestrained. First, he slapped Huang Zhong on the shoulder and praised him loudly. Huang Zhong, who almost fell apart after running for a long distance, had a look of resentment on his face.

Then he lifted Xu Shu and spun around several times, and said sincerely: The military advisor is really amazing!

The confused Xu Shu waved his hands, then knelt down and explained the situation in detail to the two of them.

The battle of Xiangfan has been decided.

Xu Shu's assertion made Guan and Zhang unable to stop nodding.

Xiangyang and Fancheng were originally strategic targets, and now Wancheng has been captured in addition. They can use this as a support to conquer the entire Jingzhou, and the defenders have a natural advantage. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have won a complete victory.

Cao's army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties in the forced attack on Fancheng. Now with more than 40,000 soldiers, it is still powerful.

However, their food and grass are increasingly scarce. Our army is small but strong. We can pursue them in tandem and capture their defeated troops.

Xu Shu made it very clear that the entire battle has now reached its final stage. Although Cao's army has a large number of soldiers, it is difficult to fight again due to the shortage of food and grass and the lack of soldiers returning home.

If we were to stop and get ready for a decisive battle with Liu Bei's army, I'm afraid the soldiers themselves would mutiny before the decisive battle could take place.

In this case, there is basically no need for any strategy. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are both familiar with this traditional style of play.

Commander and General Huang, go to sleep.

Seeing the tired look on Xu Shu and Huang Zhong's face, Guan Yu said.

Zhang Fei also patted his chest:

Leave the rest to us!

For the first time, Zhao A felt that the money he received this month was a bit of a loss.

At the beginning of the battle, he was on the Han River and was a giant ship soldier.

After defeating Fancheng, there were soldiers transporting grain on the Water River.

After breaking Wancheng, he became a guard on the city wall.

I received one amount of money, but ended up doing three jobs.

But fortunately, except for transporting grain through the water, it was not very dangerous at other times, so in the end Zhao A felt at peace.

At least he only needs to stand guard on the city wall now, and does not need to risk his life on horseback to fight Cao's soldiers.

Although Zhao A can't ride a horse either.

But those riding horses made Zhao A very envious.

That feeling is very...powerful, this is a word I learned recently.

How about trying to learn to ride a horse first? After leaving the giant boat for nearly half a month, Zhao A suddenly had a new idea in his heart.

But when it comes to the giant boat, Zhao A is a little regretful that the river channel of Qishui is still a little too narrow.

Although the giant boat can barely pass, it can easily get into trouble if it cannot turn around.

Otherwise, it would be more convenient for General Guan and the others to go to war if they brought a giant boat over to patrol along the Feishui River, right?

Zhao A didn't understand the art of war, but he could tell that General Guan and the others had become busier, but they also seemed happier.

Several horsemen I knew went out twice and returned safely, and they also brought back many prisoners of Cao's army.

Zhao A is not very envious. After all, Fancheng was destroyed by their navy. Even if they capture more prisoners, can they defeat the city?

But every time Zhao A said this, he was laughed at by Pao Ze who was riding a horse, saying, What does conquering Fan City have to do with people who can only pedal?

Zhao A dismissed it: It has nothing to do with people who are pedaling, but does it have anything to do with you people who can't even swim?

However, after standing guard here for two days, Zhao A's thoughts gradually changed, because this group of horseback riders brought back too many prisoners. There were five or six thousand prisoners in the past two days, right?

Cao Ren doesn't take risks at all!

In Wancheng, Guan Yu didn't even have time to take off his armor.

He strode to the map and stretched out his hand to indicate to Xu Shu:

The troops he led went straight north but could not reach the Feishui River. They bypassed Pheasant County and then turned northeast toward Luyang County and Jian County. The road along the way was uneven, so we could not pursue it.

Xu Shu secretly thought it was a pity. He thought that Cao Ren, with his heavy troops, would forcefully cross the Jieshui River in order to return quickly. The result turned out to be surprisingly stable, but after thinking about it, it was not surprising:

Now in this heavy army, Cao Ren, Cao Cao, Xu Huang and Yu Jin are all veteran generals.

If we win a big victory, we may be careless. Now that the defeated army is retreating north, we will definitely strive to be as safe as possible.

It's just a pity that the merit Gangui asked for is useless.

Guan Yu also had a smile on his face. He had previously judged that Cao Jun might force the crossing at Bowang County, so Gan Gui asked him to take a small boat and hide it in the upstream swamp. When Cao Jun was about to cross, he burned the boat and swam down to block it, and cooperated with Guan Yu's army to attack.

But now I can only think about it, this little general must be aggrieved.

It's okay! Zhang Fei laughed:

I wrote a letter to Cao Cao and included Gan Gui's name. Cao Cao should know his name.

What letter? Xu Shu was curious.

Zhang Feiyun is calm and gentle:

I just told Cao Cao some of his family affairs.

After escaping from Jingzhou and stationed in Luyang, Cao Jun and his party finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for the furious Cao Cao, who was holding a letter from Zhang Fei:

You actually cursed my sons and grandsons to suffer from diabetes and head wind, and they will surely die early, and the Sima family will be exterminated within three generations?

The reputation of the Han thieves who massacred the city will be passed down to future generations, but the rogue thieves' rebellion against China began with Cao Gou?

The letters are filled with a lot of market slang, and street curses and slurs can be seen everywhere.

Cao Cao, who could read Chen Lin's essays with a smile, felt his head hurt and his eyes were dizzy:

Cao Gou?

Zhang Fei, I swear to kill you!

Wrapping things up, the next video will probably be available tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
