Two days later, the red clouds dispersed, and the sky was as clear as blue. The warm sun hung high in the sky, and the snow slowly melted under the sun.
As the saying goes, if it doesn't snow, it will turn into cold snow. The garrison in Xiangyang took turns to pull out for field training to keep warm, while Lan Tian wrote about the divine eagle in his room.
Cao Ren learned that Guan Yu was training troops in the wilds of Xiangyang and mistakenly believed that the other side would launch an attack soon. On one side, he ordered Xu Huang and Niu Jin to also move, and on the other side, he quickly reported the news to Cao Cao in Wancheng.
Guan Yu's seven armies were flooded and captured in Jin. Bandits and bandits from counties south of Xudu responded, causing shock all over the world.
The bandits who rebelled were all forced to do corvee labor, largely because of the harsh criticism of the Henan nobles. As long as the common people could survive, they would not take risks and rebel. Cao Cao not only did not get angry when he saw this, but in the name of moving the capital to avoid disaster, he tested the reaction of the Henan nobles. , which means that if you really choose to mess up, I will give up on you directly.
Cao Cao established his country in Wei County, Hebei Province and proclaimed himself a duke. In essence, he was untying himself from the Henan gentry. If the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty was also moved to Hebei, the Henan gentry would really be abandoned. At that time, they would have no say in the court. , and completely decoupled from Cao Cao's Wei State, the interests will leave with the departure of power.
In this dangerous situation, Sima Yi enlisted Jiang Ji to persuade Cao Cao, and said that he would mobilize all the noble clans to fight against Guan Yu. After Cao Cao achieved what he wanted, he sent troops to Jiaxian, Liangxian and other places to put down the rebellion.
At that time, Cao Cao stationed more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Mobei. After the suppression of the rebellion, he only led 50,000 soldiers and horses into Wancheng. After the Battle of Hanzhong and the popular uprising caused by corvee service, Cao Cao understood that having more soldiers is not necessarily a good thing. Failure to do so would be a disaster.
When he learned that Xiangyang City had been captured by Guan Yu, Cao Cao felt exactly the same as at Dingjun Mountain. Fancheng and Xiangyang were only separated by a river. Guan Yu could now occupy the city quickly or slowly, but Cao Ren in Fancheng became restless.
In the past, Guan Yu besieged Fancheng and Xiangyang at the same time. As long as he defended with all his strength and waited until the opponent's supplies were exhausted and the weather was cold, Guan Yu would retreat. But now Guan Yu has the same strategic advantage, and Gan Ning's navy is still eyeing them.
Cao Cao's navy and warships in Xuanwu Pond are all in Huainan, and they were activated when he was about to attack Sun Quan in Jiangdong. Since Fancheng Wenpin's navy was completely wiped out by Guan Yu, there is not even a decent warship left, let alone risk crossing the river. Go and take back Xiangyang.
Unable to enter, we voluntarily evacuated Fancheng, but we were worried about affecting morale.
It's snow melting weather and it's very cold outside.
Cao Cao was curled up in bed reading a book. The waiter brought him a bowl of chicken soup to keep out the cold. He poured half the bowl of chicken soup down his throat, and two pieces of bone-in meat were exposed at the bottom of the bowl.
Cao Cao picked up the chicken and took a look at it. He had no intention of eating it, but said to himself meaningfully: "Weak chicken ribs."
"Your Majesty, something bad happened."
While Cao Cao was thinking, the door of his room was suddenly pushed open, and when he saw it, it was Yang Xiu, the chief secretary.
"Dezu, why are you panicking?" Cao Cao frowned and sat up.
"After the snow stopped, Guan Yu began to assemble his troops, and General Zhengnan (Cao Ren) urgently reported for help." Yang Xiu answered with his hand.
Cao Cao frowned and snorted coldly: "Guan Yunchang has just arrived at Xiangyang, and he is about to attack Fancheng? Dezu quickly changes his clothes for me."
"only."
Yang Xiu walked forward quickly, took the fur robe from the hanger and put it on Cao Cao. Cao Zhi was originally ordered to supervise the army and supervise the transportation of grain and grass. Unfortunately, he fell into Cao Pi's trick and became too drunk to get up. Yang Xiu was worried that he would be severely punished, so he rushed there in person Xu Du explained that he was sorry, so he stayed with Cao Cao temporarily.
Cao Cao put on his robe and was about to go out. He saw that the chicken ribs in the bowl were not yet eaten, so he handed them to Yang Xiu and said, "Lao Dezu is helping me undress, so I will give you this half bowl of chicken soup. You can eat it while it's hot. Don't think it's a disrespectful gift."
"Um, thank you for your honor, Your Majesty." Yang Xiu quickly bowed his hands in salute.
In order for Cao Zhi to regain Cao Cao's favor, Yang Xiu, who was proud of his talent and arrogance, became very submissive.
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he walked out of the dormitory. Yang Xiu picked up the piece of meat in the bowl and looked at it. He found that it was two pieces of chicken ribs. He quickly threw it into his mouth and chewed it, then stalked after Cao Cao.
Yang Xiu jogged for two steps and suddenly stopped. He spat out the piece of meat in his mouth and put it in his palm. He smiled bitterly and said: "It's worthless to eat without meat. It's a pity to throw it away."
Seeing no one around, Yang Xiu threw the chicken ribs in the corner, wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, and then said to himself: "Is the King of Chicken Ribs a metaphor for Fan City?"
When Yang Xiu came to the front hall, he found that Sima Yi, Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao, Jiang Ji, Huan Jie, etc., and several military think tanks were already in place.
"I thought Guan Yu had sent troops. It turned out that they were training troops in the north of Xiangyang City. Zixiao was a little too nervous, but there is nothing wrong with attaching great importance to it. Zhongda (Sima Yi), how are the preparations for the winter clothes of the soldiers?" Cao Cao read the battle report. After saying a few nonsense words, he asked the question to Sima Yi.
At this time KenshUFAng.*cOm Zhang Si. Sima Yi cupped his hands and replied: "I have gone to Xiangxiang Zhong, and some of my uniforms are on the way. However, because there are too many, it will probably take some time to meet the needs of 100,000 troops."
"I understand that it is difficult to mobilize supplies, but will Guan Yunchang wait for us?" Cao Cao asked.
"Your Majesty, the snow has fallen quickly this year. Although our soldiers are short of winter clothes, Guan Yu's army must also be short. I estimate that Guan Yu is bluffing and may wait until next spring before sending troops." Shizhong Huanjie added.
Sima Yi hurriedly waved his hand: "There is no constant momentum, and there is no fixed method. Boxu (Huan Jie) was a little arbitrary. If Guan Yu doesn't follow common sense, wouldn't he be at a loss? It would be better to make preparations in advance."
Huan Jie argued: "Although Guan Yu is arrogant, he has already sent troops in the summer and autumn. He will not care about the life and death of Jingzhou soldiers in order to capture Fancheng, right? Besides, Xiangyang does not have many wise men. If he wants to defeat the king's army of 100,000 people, I think it is absolutely impossible. Impossible."
"Using Hu Xiu and Fu Fang to open the gate of Xiangyang City is not Guan Yu's style. I don't believe it if the opponent does not have an expert. In addition, it is said that Sun Quan was completely defeated in Jingzhou. This expert in Jingzhou is not an ordinary person." Strong." Jiang Ji frowned.
Huan Jie seemed to have realized something, and quickly asked: "Is it Xu Shu that Zi Tong is talking about? This man is one of Liu Bei's four great military advisors. You said that he came up with a plan to capture Xiangyang. I believe that with a little garrison at the rear, he can defeat Sun Quan. Army? Isn’t this too strong?”
"That's unknown." Jiang Ji said angrily.
Cheng Yu, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke: "I don't know about others, but I have heard about Xu Yuanzhi's deeds. This person does not have such powerful methods."
"What else does Zhongde know?" Cao Cao asked.
Cheng Yu shook his head helplessly, then closed his eyes as if an old monk had fallen into trance.
Cao Cao was furious when he saw this. He slapped the case and shouted: "Send all the spies out to investigate. At this time, I don't even know who my opponent is."
Control the big one and control the owl. "Wei." The ministers quickly bowed and saluted.
"Zitong (Jiang Ji) immediately wrote to Wen Manji (Wen Hui, governor of Yangzhou) in Hefei, asking him to inquire about information from Jiangdong. If Sun Quan suffered a big loss in Jingzhou, he must know the details. Biyan'er is too I'm disappointed." Cao Cao looked depressed.
"I accept your order." Jiang Ji answered with his hands raised.
