Fancheng.

After reading the military report in his hand, Cao Ren couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"How could Liu Bei have such a son? And he also made him the heir apparent, leaving no successors!"

"What's wrong?"Man Chong asked on the side.

"General Lu Chang wrote a letter saying that Liu Bei's son walked ten miles a day, and then had picnics, hunting, and fishing....In short, you are not doing your job properly and you are not marching well. Cao Ren said with a smile:"But there are only twenty miles left now, and there will be news in two days at most.""

"It is not uncommon for a tiger father and a dog to have sons. Man Chong chuckled and said:"The more dandy the better, being too heroic is not a good thing for the Wei Dynasty.""

"That's right, that's right. Cao Ren said jokingly:"It's just that General Lu Chang has to work hard, and he still has to squat in the mountains for two days.""

"Capturing Liu Bei's son alive was such a great achievement that General Lu Chang would have been happy to wait another twenty days."It's rare for Man Chong to make a joke

"Hahaha~" The two of them looked at each other and laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Seeing that they could achieve great achievements, they would publicize it in the Wei Kingdom. The explosive news of capturing Liu Bei's son alive was enough to change the decline caused by the defeat of Hanzhong and let Wei The morale of the whole country can be re-invigorated, and at the same time it can also attack Liu Bei's side.

Just as the two of them laughed loudly, the deceitful guards walked in quickly

"newspaper~~~"

"Report to the general, urgent military information, 10,000 enemy troops set off from Jiangling and are rapidly approaching Xiangfan!"

"What?! Cao Ren was shocked and said,"Is Guan Yu going to start a war?" He only has 30,000 troops at his disposal, so how dare he attack the Xiangfan area?"

"not good! Man Chong slapped his thigh and said,"I fell into the trap!""

"Bonin made it clear."Cao Ren suddenly panicked.

"Lu Chang! Lu Chang is in danger! Man Chong said anxiously:"Let him return to the army quickly. Once the enemy troops approach Xiangfan, he will not be able to come back, and may even be attacked from both sides!""

Cao Ren suddenly woke up and immediately ordered:"Quick! Let Lu Chang come back soon!"

"Careless...Careless!" Man Chong was very upset, because he knew in his heart that Lu Chang would probably not have time to withdraw, and would most likely be blocked outside and fall into a situation where he would be attacked from both front and rear.

"hiss...So, the other party deliberately sent us information just to lure us out? Cao Ren said with a toothache:"Using the crown prince of a country as bait?" This, this, this..."

"yes...With such a sweet bait in front of us, we simply can't help it, and the enemy's plan will succeed."Man Chong regretted it.

But before that, even he did not expect that the Han army would use a country's prince as bait.

Who can ordinary people think of it? This is no longer a matter of courage.

Just imagine, which general of the Wei State, Dare to use Cao Pi as bait?

What you didn't even dare to think about, you naturally fell into the trap unexpectedly.

"What should we do now? Lu Chang is most likely gone...."Cao Ren looked at Man Chong,"Bo Ning, think of a way quickly."

"For the current plan, we can only stick to Xiangfan and abandon Lu Chang. Man Chong made a decision immediately,"If we send troops to rescue Lu Chang now, we will undoubtedly be fighting the fire. Only by sticking to the city gate can we stop Guan Yu.""

"Xiangfan is an important town to resist Guan Yu's northward movement and must not be lost! Man Chong said resolutely:"Once Xiangfan is lost, Nanyang County in the rear will be flat, and Guan Yu's troops can even threaten Xu Du.""

"Right now, the King of Wei is in Chang'an and the Emperor is in Xudu. Guan Yu must not be allowed to pass!"

After Cao Ren heard this, he also realized the seriousness of the matter.

Once Guan Yu breaks through Xiangfan, Nanyang will be undefeated, and Guan Yu can directly reach Xudu.

There is no need to break the city, Guan Yu only needs to attack Xudu, and the world's best The situation will change drastically.

At that time, there will definitely be grassroots who will defect to Liu Bei's side, and the entire Central Plains may be in chaos.

"General, Xiangyang has few soldiers. It only has 5,000 troops at the moment. It may be difficult to withstand Guan Yu's army. Man Chong suggested:"It is better to send some troops from Fancheng.""

Xiangyang is in front and Fancheng is behind.

Normally, if Guan Yu comes to attack, he will attack Xiangyang first and then Fancheng in order.

Therefore, in Man Chong's view, Xiangyang must have enough troops to withstand Guan Yu's first attack. wave attack

"good! Cao Ren nodded heavily,"I don't expect Guan Yu to come directly to attack Fancheng. I will allocate five thousand troops to garrison Xiangyang. Ten thousand troops will cooperate with Xiangyang's fortified city, which is enough to withstand Guan Yu's thirty thousand army.""

"Immediately write a letter to King Wei to inform Xiangfan of the situation. Man Chong continued:"Lü Chang and his 5,000-strong army suffered 80% loss. We also ask the King of Wei to send reinforcements quickly to relieve Xiangfan's crisis.""

Cao Ren responded with silence. Not only did he fail to capture Liu Chan to ease domestic morale, but he also lost the battle and was forced to seek help from the rear. He failed to help Cao Cao and added a burden to Cao Cao. Cao Ren felt very unhappy.

But there was no way. The loss of Lu Chang and his five thousand troops was completely foreseeable, and Cao Ren would have no idea if he didn't ask for help.

"knew..."Cao Ren reluctantly agreed.... shore.

Liu Chan hugged Wu Ran with one hand and held the fishing rod in the other.

Right now, we are only ten miles away from Cao Jun's ambush point.

Despite Liu Chan's laid-back attitude, Ma Chao and Bai Jianbing were already on alert and were always on guard for Cao's army to attack.

"Your Highness, there is news from Jingzhou. Huang Hao came closer,"Generals Guan Ping and Liao Hua attacked as the vanguard. At this moment, they have arrived in Xiangyang.""

"hehe. Liu Chan let go and threw the fishing rod into the river, stretched out and said,"Finally we can close the net!""
