"Adou? Guan Yu was very surprised and directly ordered:"Read it.""

"Junhou, Your Highness wrote to say that he came to Jingzhou on the king's order and hoped that Junhou could send troops to Xiangyang to respond."The scout relayed the gist of Liu Chan's letter.

"Why did he come to Jingzhou?"Guan Yu frowned slightly while lying on the silkworm's body.

"I don’t know, it wasn’t stated clearly in the letter."The scout replied helplessly.

"make trouble! Guan Yu waved his sleeves and said:"Write him a reply and ask him to return the same way. The war in Jingzhou is about to begin. It is too dangerous here.""

"It’s true, eldest brother, Adou is still a child."

Although he didn't express it too openly, it is not difficult to see from his words that Guan Yu still cares about his eldest nephew very much and does not want Liu Chan to get involved in the war.

"Lord. Ma Liang came out and said,"The prince is here with the king's orders. I'm afraid the king has any orders, so why don't you just send him back?""

Ma Liang secretly wrote a letter to Zhuge Liang before. Combined with Liu Chan's trip to Jingzhou, Ma Liang immediately guessed that the prince came to Jingzhou and must have been ordered to prevent Guan Yu from sending troops.

Naturally, Ma Liang could not sit back and watch Guan Yu drive Liu Chan away.

"Too."Guan Yu thought thoughtfully,"I don't know what the elder brother's orders are."

"Forget it, never mind. Guan Yu waved his hand and said:"When Adou arrives in Xiangyang, I'm afraid we will also be at the gate of Xiangyang City. We can kill two birds with one stone and can even attack and coordinate.""

Indeed, Liu Chan needs to pass through Xiangyang.

But if Guan Yu launches an attack on Xiangyang before Liu Chan arrives, Cao's army will be blocked in the city. Liu Chan's passing through Xiangyang will only be safer and play a supporting role.

Ma Liang became anxious after hearing this. , hurriedly said:"The sword has no eyes, and His Royal Highness has a body of thousands of gold. How about we take His Highness to Jiang Ling first, and then start the war?""

Ma Liang was still counting on Liu Chan to stop Guan Yu. Naturally, he didn't want Guan Yu to start the war first.

After all, once the war started, it was hard to say when it would end. It would be useless for Liu Chan to order a truce by then.

"hehe. Guan Yu suddenly laughed and looked at Ma Liang with playful eyes.

Ma Liang was under great pressure and asked knowingly:"Why are you laughing?""

"Ji Chang, did you secretly write a letter to Kong Ming and your eldest brother?"

"Well..."

"No need to be secretive. Guan Yu said nonchalantly:"This is your responsibility. Guan will not blame you.""

Ma Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, nodded and admitted:"It's true."

"Thinking that Adou came with an order, he must have ordered Guan to cease fighting."Guan Yu is not stupid, he can also analyze Liu Chan's intention of coming.

"Lord. Ma Liang said earnestly:"The Battle of Hanzhong lasted for two years. It is unwise to start a war at this time. It would be better to wait a little longer before fighting again.""

"At the very least, slow down for a while. Your Majesty will also have the ability to provide support, unlike now we can only rely on ourselves. Guan

Yu nodded slightly and said with a smile:"Ji Chang has good intentions. Guan is not a person who doesn't distinguish between black and white, but there is a question you have thought about.""

"Appreciate further details."Ma Liang asked for advice.

"Big Brother is unable to support us, so does Cao Cao have enough energy to support Xiangfan?"Guan Yu continued:"For the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Cao mobilized many elites, and there were not many troops in the Xiangfan area."

"Moreover, after the great defeat in Hanzhong, the morale of Cao Ren's army was sluggish, and coupled with the lack of troops, he was attacked by our army unexpectedly. How confident was Cao Ren in defending Xiangfan?"

"this..."Ma Liang was speechless. What Guan Yu said did make sense.

"Fighting opportunities are fleeting. If I seize the opportunity, Xiangfan will be in my hands! Guan Yu said loudly:"What's more, if we retreat ten thousand steps, even if we fail to defeat him, we can just withdraw our troops. I don't believe that Cao Ren still dares to go out of the city to pursue him?""

"Therefore, this general believes that if we win this war, we will take the two cities of Xiangfan. If we fail to win, there will be no harm in it."

"In this case, why not fight?"

Facing Guan Yu's question, Ma Liang had nothing to say.

Indeed, as Guan Yu analyzed, it seems that the risk of this battle is indeed not high.

But Guan Yu ignored an important factor - Jiangdong!

If Jiangdong hadn't been peeping from the side, Guan Yu would have beaten Xiangfan There is indeed nothing wrong with the battle.

Imagine that if Jiangdong did not interfere with the Battle of Xiangfan in history, it would be nothing more than Guan Yu flooding the seven armies and shocking China, and then Xu Huang came and launched a"long drive".

The two sides won each other's victories, and finally retreated. Everything is fine.

But if Lu Meng had come from behind and"crossed the river in white" after Xu Huang"drove in", the situation would have been completely different, causing Guan Yu to lose Maicheng and lose Jingzhou.

"Ji Chang, don't count on Adou, this battle must be fought! Guan Yu then ordered in a deep voice,"Send the order, the war is imminent. If anyone shakes the morale of the army, military law will be enacted!""

"Here!"All the civil and military officials, including Ma Liang, could only clasp their fists and accept the order.

The meeting dispersed.

Mi Fang left with a heavy heart, and Fu Shiren quickly caught up.

"what to do? what to do? Fu Shiren lowered his voice and said,"If we can't get enough weapons and food, both of us will die!""

"How does Naigong know what to do?! Mi Fang spread her hands and said angrily:"Who would have thought that the king would give the false ax the power?""

To put it simply, without the power of the false ax, Guan Yu can't do anything to the two thousand stone Nanjun prefect. Even if Mi Fang makes a mistake, Guan Yu will at most report it to Liu Bei for disposal.

But with the right of the false ax, Guan Yu can directly kill Mi Fang.

"I was so obsessed at first that I followed you to Jiangdong to resell arms, food and grass."Fu Shiren broke the defense.

"Stop talking nonsense, you didn’t lose your share of the money, now you’re complaining about Nai Gong?"

Mi Fang was even more defensive. The reason why he dared to resell these supplies in the first place was to find out Liu Bei's temper. It does n't matter if he is a little corrupt, as long as he kneels in front of Liu Bei and shows his pity. Considering the merits of the Mi family and the sake of his dead sister, Liu Bei will definitely It won't kill him.

But it's different now. Guan Yu has a false sword. It's very likely that Mi Fang won't be able to see Liu Bei and will just move her head.

"What to do now."Fu Shiren's face turned ashen.

"Let's gather together first to get enough supplies for the vanguard, and then slowly figure out how to do the rest."

"That's all it can do..."
