Not long after the envoy left the tent, Guan Yu ordered Liao Hua: "Yuan Jian, immediately send someone to Changsha with our military orders, and take Gan Ning with his warships, soldiers and horses to Fancheng to assist in the battle."
Liao Hua was startled when he heard this and asked in confusion: "Didn't the general say that Jiangdong needs to be on guard? If all the troops stationed in Changsha are taken away now, wouldn't it be..."
"This moment, that moment. Lu Meng has the heart of a wolf, so of course he must be careful to take precautions. Lu Xun is very aware of current affairs, so Jiangxia's soldiers have nothing to worry about for the time being." Guan Yu explained, stroking his beard.
"Do you want to leave some people behind?" Liao Hua advised again.
Guan Yu frowned and said: "Yu Jin is already a turtle in an urn and a fish in a net. We must go all out to decide the outcome in one battle. If this supporting army is destroyed, Fancheng will be shaken. By then, it will be much easier to capture Xiang and Fan. Therefore, the navy in Changsha They all must arrive.
As for your worry about an invasion from Jiangdong, as long as Jiangling is in our hands, it doesn’t matter if we lose Changsha. Don’t forget that Military Advisor Xu is still in Jiangling. The police still have three thousand naval troops, and there are beacon towers along the river to send messages. Besides, Ziyu will not stand idly by. . "
"It turns out that the general has already made a plan, but he just thought too little. I will make arrangements right away." Liao Hua said, cupping his fists.
"Go." Guan Yu nodded in response, and then began to arrange follow-up operations.
Gan Ning received Guan Yu's order without hesitation and took away 10,000 Changsha naval troops including Jinfan Camp. When passing by the police, he asked Su Fei to take care of the Dongting waters.
The great actions of the Changsha navy did not hide the Jiangdong scouts in the Yangtze River waters.
Wu Qi, the supervisor of the army, said to Lu Xun: "Bo Yan is really clever. Gan Ning took away almost all the defenders of Changsha. Can we send a message to our cousin and then send troops to attack Jingzhou?"
"We have to wait a little longer. The more stalemate the fight in Fancheng becomes, the more difficult it is for Guan Yu to escape and return to the defense. Although it is easy for us to block the entrance of Dongting Water, there are many defenders left in Jiangling. The difficulty of a strong attack is still not small. Wait After a while, maybe Guan Yu will send troops again." Lu Xun frowned and replied.
Wu Qi then asked: "Although Boyan is the acting governor, I will still report the current situation in Jingzhou to my cousin. You won't mind, right?"
Lu Xun cupped his hands and replied: "Please allow me to supervise the army."
Because Lu Xun's identity was very sensitive, in order to control him, Sun Quan sent his cousin Wu Qi as the supervisor when Lu Xun was acting as the governor. Wu Qi was the second son of Sun Quan's uncle Wu Jing.
Wu Qi's ability is relatively mediocre, and Lu Xun is used to Sun Quan's balancing skills, so he can deal with it with ease.
Since the Ganning navy moved north, rain began to fall in Jingxiang land one after another. Before he could rest at the Fancheng camp, Guan Yu arranged for him to go upstream to build a cofferdam.
Not long after Gan Ning took refuge with Liu Bei, he was assigned to Lan Tian's command. During his stay in Jingnan, he built cofferdams many times, mainly to dredge the rivers and allow smooth sailing between various places.
The cofferdam task arranged by Guan Yu directly corresponded to Gan Ning's expertise.
Autumn rain continued for more than ten days. Gan Ning completed the cofferdam on the upper reaches as planned and was waiting for Guan Yu's order to open the floodgates and release the water. During this period, Guan Ping's siege troops also withdrew their troops and returned to camp, allowing the panicked soldiers and civilians in Fancheng to breathe.
The news of Guan Yu's increase in troops was not hidden from the ban, because there were one or two hundred more warships on the Han Dynasty. Taking advantage of Guan Ping's lax defense during the heavy rain, he sent people to deliver the letter into Fancheng.
After reading the letter, Cao Ren put it on the table and snorted to everyone: "It seems that Guan Yu attaches great importance to Yu Wenze, otherwise he would not have increased his troops so quickly, but this guy actually came to command me and asked us to attack both inside and outside after the rain stopped. Hum hum..."
"After all, General Yu holds the King of Wei's holiday ax..." General Niu Jin held the fire aside.
"Hmph, can his fake ax kill me? It's a joke." Cao Ren's eyes were stern.
"Well..."
Man Chong originally wanted Cao Ren to remind Yu Jin that he should not garrison troops in low-lying areas when the autumn water rose, but when Cao Ren was angry he did not dare to say anything. Xu Huang, Zhao Yan and others did not like Yu Jin, so they remained silent.
Yu Jin was extremely strict and even a little harsh in his treatment. Cao Cao discovered this trait in him and often appointed him as a guardian, responsible for supervising the illegal activities of other armies. Yu Jin did his job very well.
Cao Cao was in danger when he was conquering Zhang Xiu in Wancheng. When he fled, the officers and soldiers of each battalion were in chaos. The Qingzhou soldiers who were former Yellow Turban thieves took the opportunity to rob homes and houses. Yu Jin directly ordered his troops to arrest the criminal Qingzhou soldiers without asking Cao Cao. Afterwards, instead of being convicted, he was rewarded.
The internal law enforcement department easily attracts hatred. As Yu Jin's official position gets higher and higher, he offends more and more people in the army, and gradually becomes a lonely minister that Cao Cao likes but others hate.
Yu Jin was the only general in Cao's camp who held a false sword, not even the generals of the clan such as Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren. The reason why Cao Ren did not take Yu Jin seriously was because Yu Jin's false sword could not kill him at all.
Jie is a talisman, symbolizing the power of the king.
The holiday is to lend the festival to the ministers to perform temporary tasks, which serves to deter one party. It is also a supplement to a right. When two people have the same official position, the right to speak is in the hands of the official, and the minister After the temporary task is completed, this section will be reclaimed.
Yue is an axe, a torture instrument, which belongs exclusively to the king.
In addition to being able to go to war on behalf of the king, the False Festival Yue also has rights based on the False Festival, including the right to kill soldiers in the army without asking for instructions or reporting in wartime status. The holder of the False Festival Yue can also kill those who hold the Festival. general.
The reason why Cao Ren was not afraid of Yu Ban's false ax was because of Cao Cao's unique clan commander system. Xiahou Yuan was the commander of the western theater, Xiahou Dun was the commander of the eastern theater, and Cao Ren was the commander of the southern theater. All generals other than the commander could only be generals.
After Zhang Liao defeated Sun Quan in Xiaoyaojin, Cao Cao named him the General of the Eastern Expedition. Later, Xiahou Dun commanded the 26th Army in Huainan, including Zhang Liao, with the military title of General Fubo.
Because Xiahou Dun stayed in Xudu for a long time, his military official position was always General Fubo, but his administrative official position was Henan Yin. In the 22nd year of Jian'an, he became the commander-in-chief of the eastern theater. Xudu had no intimidating figure to guard it, so Cao Cao chose him My favorite lonely minister is Yu Jin.
Yu Jin did not have an administrative official position, and his military official position was only General Zuo. He could not suppress the powerful people in Xudu. Cao Cao wanted to give him absolute authority in Xudu, so he gave him the highest treatment, the fake jiejieyue. However, his fake jiejieyue would be gone after he left Xudu. used.
None of the generals in Fancheng stood up to speak for Yu Jin, causing Yu Jin to lose the opportunity to move away from Hekou River.
At the end of August, the heavy rain for more than ten days subsided, and the Han River had surged and overflowed to the shore.
Guan Yu saw that the time was ripe, so he sent Gan Ning to dig a weir upstream to release water.
In an instant, the silt-laden river water was as uncontrollable as a wild beast, running like countless wild horses galloping across the wilderness.
