"Your Highness, you cannot stay in Gangneung any longer. Ma Chao advised:"Inform the front line now. There is a high probability that the former general will not be able to return in time.""

The location of the beacon tower is in Xiakou. People must go there and notify before the beacon tower can be lit.

The fastest way is definitely to go down the river, but the"caravan" from Jiangdong has already come in and the waterway has been completely blocked. Those who want to go to the beacon tower Taiwan can only take the land route.

By the time people are sent to Xiakou by land, the night has basically passed, and by the time the beacon fire has burned all the way to the front line, it is estimated to be dawn.

As expected, the Jiangdong"caravan" will arrive around noon tomorrow , it was slightly too late for Guan Yu to return reinforcements.

"no. Liu Chan shook his head and refused,"If you abandon the city and leave, Jingzhou will definitely not be saved.""

Jingzhou is the key to the revival of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Chan does not want to throw it away easily.

If he wants to leave, Liu Chan can leave directly now, go to the front line to meet Guan Yu, and then join forces to withdraw to the three eastern counties.

Cao Jun is also good , Jiangdong, Liu Chan was determined not to leave Jingzhou, and neither Cao nor Sun could stop him. But it would be safe to go directly, but the loss would be unbearable, or even unacceptable. Without Jingzhou, the future Northern Expedition would be impossible.

The only option is to go through the Qinling Mountains and then attack Guanzhong.

This route will cause logistical difficulties, and in the future Wei will only need to concentrate on guarding the western front, and will not have to worry about the Han army attacking from other directions.

In short, Wei will With only 100,000 permanent troops stationed on the Western Front, Liu Bei's Northern Expedition has basically no chance of success.

"Jingzhou is the key to the Northern Expedition. This key place must not be lost! Liu Chan said decisively:"We still have two thousand white soldiers, and we must defend Jiangling City until Father Zhong withdraws his troops and comes back for reinforcements!""

"this...Too dangerous!"Ma Chao still wanted to persuade him.

"I have made up my mind, uncle, there is no need to say more. Liu Chan then looked at Mi Fang and said,"Uncle, does Jiangdong know what is true in my city?""

"I don’t know! Mi Fang hurriedly explained:"I only regard them as merchants, so how can I tell them the truth? I have no intention of treason!" Liu

Chan nodded slightly,"I know that my uncle will not be treason, he was just deceived by the rats." Mi

Fang's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she suddenly felt ashamed and kowtowed repeatedly,"Your Highness, I am guilty."...Please punish me, Your Highness!"

After doing such a stupid thing, Mi Fang felt that she would never be redeemed by death, but Liu Chan still believed in him, which made Mi Fang feel even more guilty.

"Please get up quickly, uncle. Liu Chan helped him up from the ground and ordered:"Get the tax accounts of Nanjun.""

Mi Fang's heart tightened, knowing that Liu Chan was going to check the accounts.

Not long after, boxes of bamboo slips were carried into the courtyard.

"Your Highness, all of Nan County’s tax accounts for the past five years are here. Huang Hao said carefully:"Do you need me to find someone to settle the matter?""

Liu Chan didn't say anything. He went to the house to get an oil lamp and walked straight towards the stacked bamboo slips.

In the horrified eyes of everyone, Liu Chan threw the oil lamp directly over, and the bamboo slips quickly ignited a fire.

"Your Highness, you..."Mi Fang herself was dumbfounded

"uncle. Liu Chan's eyes flashed with nostalgia,"When we were in Changbanpo, my mother committed suicide and threw herself into a well to save my little boy."..."

"Although there is no feeling of procreation, there is indeed the grace of survival."

"If my mother hadn't sacrificed her life, I might have died twelve years ago..."

"You are my mother's brother and my uncle. How can Liu Chan be such an ungrateful person? Liu Chan pulled Mi Fang and said sincerely:"Anyone in the world can kill you, but not Liu Chan!""

"All the accounts have been burned, so my uncle no longer has to worry about it."

"Your Highness! Mi Fang cried bitterly, knelt down again, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and shouted in pain:"I was wrong!" I deserve to die! I should not hide this from His Highness..."

At this moment, Mi Fang felt extremely regretful.

He made such a big mistake, but Liu Chan not only did not pursue the case, but helped him destroy the evidence of his crime.

If he had known this, he should have confessed his mistake to Liu Chan long ago, and it would not have evolved to this point.

Mi Fang wanted to give herself a knife. The more Liu Chan stopped blaming him, the more uncomfortable he felt.

"Uncle, don't do this. Liu Chan leaned over and patted Mi Fang on the shoulder, comforting him:"We are facing a powerful enemy. Now is not the time to talk about this. I need my uncle to help me with something.""

"Your Highness! Just ask! Mi Fang said with red eyes:"I will never give up even if I die!" Even if I die, I will help His Highness succeed!"

"Two thousand white soldiers are not enough. I need my uncle to help me recruit strong men and civilians. Liu Chan stretched out a finger and said,"My nephew needs 30,000 people in one night. Can he do it?""

"able!!!"

"good. The life and death of my nephew are left to my uncle. Liu Chan directly pulled Mi Fang up from the ground and said,"Without further delay, uncle, let's take action now.""

"Here! Mi Fang suddenly wiped away her tears and said,"Your Highness will just wait for my news.""

After that, Mi Fang left resolutely.

"Your Highness..."Ma Chao looked at Mi Fang leaving and said in disbelief:"Such a fool...Why do you need to keep him alive?"

"Alas, killing him now will not help."Liu Chan shook his head helplessly,"Mi Fang is the governor of Nanjun after all. Officials at all levels below recognize him. Mi Fang is still useful, and he needs to be used to quickly recruit civilians."

Liu Chan was not that generous at all. He wanted to cut Mi Fang into pieces to vent his hatred!

But now is the time to hire people. Mi Fang, the prefect of Nanjun, is of great use and he needs to be used to recruit civilian husbands.

Otherwise, let Ma Chao Recruiting? Or Pang De? Or Huang Hao?

None of them have the ability to recruit 30,000 young men in one night, unless Mi Fang, the parent official, does it in person.

That's why Liu Chan pretends to be tolerant, and after influencing Mi Fang, he becomes easy to teach. He went all out, made up for his mistakes, and quickly recruited civilian husbands

"Your Highness, the general looks at you, but you already have a plan?"Ma Chao couldn't help but ask.

From beginning to end, Liu Chan, apart from being a little rude at the beginning, became calmer afterwards.

"Well, there is indeed a way to hold on until Father Zhong returns, so uncle can rest assured"

"Then the general will be relieved."Ma Chao let out a long sigh.

Xiangfan

"Kill..."

At dawn, Guan Yu ordered a fierce attack on Fancheng.

After deploying another 10,000 troops from the rear, the number of troops at the front reached 30,000.

Five thousand troops were left to contain Cao Cao's 10,000 troops in Xiangyang, while the remaining 25,000 Han troops crossed the Han River and stormed Fancheng where only 5,000 Cao troops were garrisoned.

Previously, the Seventh Army was flooded, causing a large amount of water to accumulate in Fancheng, and many of Fancheng's walls collapsed.

With a five-fold strength advantage, coupled with the damage to Fancheng's walls, it can be said that the city is on the verge of collapse, with the possibility of falling at any time.

If Cao Ren hadn't made an oath to kill the horse and vow to live and die with Fancheng, which inspired Cao's army in the city, they might have been unable to withstand it long ago.

But despite this, Fancheng is also wandering on the edge of ruining the city.

"what happened? Guan Yu observed the scene in the field and frowned:"Why are the shouts of killing so soft today?" Haven't you all eaten enough?!"

The intensity of the Han army's attack made Guan Yu very dissatisfied. He looked so weak that even the shouts of killing seemed lack of confidence.

"Father. Guan Ping bit his head and said:"Mi Fang..."

"What happened to Mi Fang? Guan Yu's cold eyes swept over him and he asked,"Say!""

"Mi Fang is overdue..."Guan Ping said helplessly:"As a last resort, we reduced the rations this morning. The soldiers did not have enough to eat. My son neglected his duty.""

"Mi Fang is a thief! Guan Yu was furious on the spot,"You idiot who delayed the military plane!" After I go back this time, I have to chop him alive!"

Time after time, for the sake of the Mi family, Guan Yu always threatened Mi Fang verbally, but did not take any serious action.

But now the Han soldiers were not full, which made Guan Yu really angry. Boiling with murderous intent

"Lord! Lord!"

Guan Yu suddenly turned around and saw Ma Liang rushing towards him with a look of panic on his face.

"What happened to Ji Chang? why so panic..."

Before Guan Yu finished speaking, he paused and his eyes were attracted by the thick smoke rising in the sky in the distance.

"Lord! The beacon fire is igniting and Jiangling is in danger. Jiangdong must take advantage of the opportunity and move in! Ma Liang said hurriedly:"His Royal Highness is still in the rear. Please put the crown prince first and withdraw your troops as soon as possible to return reinforcements!""

"Jiangdong rats! Carrying out a sneak attack is really abominable! Guan Yu gritted his teeth and said,"If Mi Fang hadn't repeatedly delayed the army rations, Xiangfan would..."

"Whatever..."Guan Yu's mood was low and he said,"Adou's safety is important, so I ordered my troops to retreat and return to Jiangling quickly.""

"Here."

However, unexpected events occurred. Before the Han army could raise its troops and withdraw their troops, drastic changes occurred on the battlefield again.

"Kill!!!"

On the northern horizon, accompanied by billowing smoke and dust, a large army rushed out of the battlefield at an extremely fast speed.

The leader was Xu Huang, who was ordered to be the vanguard to rescue Xiangfan, and finally arrived at this moment.

On top of Fancheng, Cao Ren watched At this scene, I was so excited that I was trembling all over and my face was red.

"Bros! Our reinforcements are coming! Cao Ren pointed at the outside of the city with his sword,"The time has come to counterattack. Follow me and go out of the city to kill the enemy!"!!"

Cao Ren, after all, was a famous general, and he was very courageous at critical moments.

Seeing Xu Huang arriving with reinforcements, without any hesitation, he directly ordered the city to be opened and joined forces with Xu Huang to charge.

"Oops! Guan Ping was shocked and said,"Father, we can't call for gold at this moment, otherwise it will turn into a rout.""

The enemy charges wildly. At this time, once Ming Jin retreats, it will evolve from retreat to rout, and finally be defeated like a mountain and collapse directly.

You must withstand the opponent's charge, push back the enemy, and the two sides slowly separate.

"House seemingly endless rain! What should we do?!"Ma Liang jumped anxiously.

"What are you panicking about?! Guan Yu said solemnly:"Repel the enemy troops and retreat slowly. It won't be too late!""

"boom!"

There was another burst of noise, and Guan Yu turned around suddenly, with a heavy expression on his face. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Xiangyang City Gate opened wide, and in order to respond to the reinforcements from the north bank, 10,000 Cao troops also opened the city gate and attacked.

In particular, Cao's army in Xiangyang City also saw the wolf smoke burning in the rear, and concluded that there was a problem in the rear of the Han army.

Hit the snake seven inches.

No matter what emergency happened in the rear of the Han army, the retreat of the Han army was cut off at this moment. Undoubtedly the best choice

"Crazy common man! Guan Yu was shocked and angry,"Bring me the Qinglong Yanyue Sword!""[]

Now Guan Yu was really anxious and planned to go into battle to kill the enemy in person and quickly repel Cao's army.

If there is smoke in the rear, something big is bound to happen. Guan Yu just wants to go back quickly to avoid loss in Jingzhou and to avoid danger to his eldest nephew.

Xu Huang has 20,000 troops, Cao Ren has 5,000 troops, and Xiangyang has 10,000 troops, totaling 35,000 troops. Guan Yu has 30,000 troops.

Of course, neither side is at full strength, and previous offensive and defensive battles in Xiangfan resulted in casualties for each other.

But overall, the difference in strength between the two sides is not large.

0 Flowers Requested

As Cao Jun from the Second City of Xiangfan rushed out, the two sides launched a fierce decisive battle on both sides of the Han River.

With a red rabbit horse under his crotch and a green dragon sword in his hand, Guan Yu took the lead and led his soldiers on the left and right straight towards the enemy's central army.

Quick victory!

The fastest way is to trap the enemy, kill the general, and capture the flag. This is also the way Guan Yu is best at fighting.

"Guan Yu is here! Who dares to fight?!"

Roaring like thunder, combined with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword flying in his hand, Guan Yu felt as if he was in a deserted place, and Cao Jun had no enemy.

After Guan Yu reported his home, everyone dodged wherever he passed, not daring to fight with him. I am my enemy.

All the heroes in the world will be frightened when they hear my name!

After the seven armies were flooded and captured alive, Guan Yu's reputation reached its peak.

"Not good! Guan Yu is coming to kill you!"It is a lie to say that you are not afraid, even Cao Ren is no exception.

Especially after many years of confrontation in Jingzhou, Cao Ren knows Guan Yu's terror better than anyone else.

"Can't retreat! Xu Huang said loudly:"You have to fight to the death!" Otherwise, Xiangfan will be doomed. King Wei is behind us. If we hold on, we can hold on until King Wei comes to help!"

"Especially when the smoke is burning in the rear, something must have happened in Jingzhou. Previously, King Wei sent Sima Yi as an envoy to Jiangdong, so it must have been Sun Quan who took action!"

"good! Cao Ren gritted his teeth and said,"Does Gongming dare to fight Guan Yu with me?""

"What's there to fear?!"

After that, the two men clapped their horses and charged, heading in the direction of Guan Yu's attack.

They were afraid of returning, but the two generals were also respectable people, and they would not be cowardly, let alone run away with their heads in their arms.

"Clouds grow! Are you okay?"Xu Huang shouted loudly

"Xu Gongming? I didn’t expect it to be you."

Guan Yu was quite surprised. They were both from Hedong, and they were old acquaintances.

"Suzhi Yunchang is brave, you and I are our own masters, I'm offended!"

After the words fell, Xu Huang and Cao Ren attacked from the left and the right.

"Afraid of you?"Guan Yu was unafraid and charged head-on, fighting one against two without any guilt.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them were fighting, with swords and swords flashing, you coming and going. After dozens of rounds, Guan Yu's face was heavy.

And Cao Ren and Xu Huang They were all confused. They found that Guan Yu seemed a little weak, which was completely different from what they imagined.

"Hey!"

Without any time to think, Xu Huang attacked again, Guan Yu raised his sword to parry.

"Uh-huh..."Guan Yu groaned.

"He is injured! Cao Ren suddenly thought of something,"Pang De shot him with an arrow before, and there was an injury on his arm!""

Guan Yu's face was extremely ugly, and his muscles and bones had been injured for a hundred days. Not to mention that Pang De's arrows were still poisonous, and his injuries did not heal in a short period of time.

"Yun Chang, I'm sorry, brother, whether it's victory without force or taking advantage of others' danger, I will never stop this time!"

Xu Huang and Cao Ren attacked again, and Guan Yu, who was injured, obviously couldn't withstand it.

Fortunately, Guan Ping, Liao Hua, and Zhou Cang around Guan Yu came together to take Guan Yu out of the battle.

"Father, the battle is at a standstill..."Guan Ping looked around,"We can't evacuate in a short time...."

"If you can't evacuate, fight! Guan Yu gritted his teeth and said,"Fight to the end!" I don’t believe that Xu Huang and Cao Ren will not retreat"

"But what to do behind the scenes?"Guan Ping said worriedly:"Once Jiangdong succeeds in a sneak attack, the consequences will be disastrous, little brother Adou..."

"I can't worry about so much now, let's deal with the war at hand first. Guan Yu braced himself and said,"Nephew Adou has a plan, and Ma Chao and Bai Jie's soldiers are here. Even if Jingzhou is lost, it will not be difficult for Adou to escape."..."

Indeed, now that the smoke has been ignited, Liu Chan will definitely be on guard, and he can escape unscathed even if he runs away now.

But Guan Yu didn't know yet, Liu Chan didn't plan to run away, and planned to delay Guan Yu until he returned from the front to support the rear....

Yangtze.

Huge ships sailed against the current on the river.

Day and night, Jiangdong's fleet has been sailing all day and night.

Lu Meng stood on the deck and looked up at the sun. It was almost noon.

Although he had not slept all night, Lu Meng did not show any signs of fatigue.

Not only Lu Meng, but also the entire army of 30,000 soldiers.

Without him, because Jingzhou is empty of troops, it will fall into their hands soon.

"Yu Fan"

"The end will be here."

Lu Meng ordered:"The troops are divided into two groups. Later I will lead the main force to Jiangling. You continue to go upstream to Gong'an and cut off the road from Nanjun to Shuzhong."

"Here."Yu Fan cupped his fists and accepted the order.

The sun was high in the sky.

The Jiangdong fleet slowly docked at the riverside pier. Standing on the deck, Lu Meng could already see Jiangling City in the distance.

Similarly, Liu Chan on the top of the city at this moment could also clearly see Koto Fleet

"Uncle, you bought military rations from Jiangdong before. What will you do after the ship arrives? Liu Chan asked without looking back.

"Return to His Highness and leave the food at the dock, and they will leave directly."

This time after the other party unloaded the goods, he had no intention of leaving. Instead, he began to put on armor.

Seeing this scene, Mi Fang's face suddenly turned pale, knowing that Liu Chan's prediction was correct. This caravan was a disguised army.

"Your Highness, I deserve to die!"Mi Fang immediately knelt down to apologize.

"Uncle, have you gathered enough 30,000 people?"

"enough"

"That's fine. Let's see if I retreat from the enemy."
