Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Pang Tong and Fazheng didn't have much thought about Guanzhong from the beginning.

Chang'an is difficult to defend, Tongguan is difficult to attack, and the pass is rotten, and it is difficult to win it for a long time.

The fields were fertile, the people were prosperous, millions of people were fighting for it, and the fertile fields were thousands of miles away. These were just the past.

After years of war, people's livelihood is in ruins, fields are depleted and wealth is drying up, and refugees are everywhere. This is the reality.

It must be taken in Guanzhong, but not now.

But Pang Tong knew that Cao Cao was quite afraid that Liu Bei would take advantage of the situation to seize Guanzhong and seize the foundation of world hegemony.

In this case, they simply ordered Huo Jun and Wei Yan to attack, not only to support Ma Chao, but also to make a gesture of defeating Guanzhong.

But Zhang Fei was secretly ordered to lead five thousand elite soldiers, go down the Han River that passed through Hanzhong, pass Fangling Shangyong and arrive at the border of Jingzhou, and attack Wancheng directly.

"The Liuma made by Military Advisor Zhuge is really useful!"

At the foot of Wancheng, the two brothers had been separated for a long time. Even Guan Ping was pushed aside by Zhang Fei, chattering to his second brother about what he had seen along the way:

"When we visited Yangping Pass before, I thought it was just a small boat that could carry two or three people to transport grain and grass."

"As a result, Military Advisor Pang told me in Hanzhong that the flowing horse has organically expanded buckles at its head and tail. It only needs to be spliced ​​together, and the flowing horse can be turned into a simple boat."

"Guan Ping invited his own vanguard and led 1,500 men down the river on horseback boats. He guarded the pass and silenced any news. He should be the first to do so!"

Like Guan Yu, Guan Ping's face was always expressionless, but since his third uncle praised him, he still tried to puff out his chest.

However, his father has always been stingy with praise, and Guan Ping has long been used to it.

Unexpectedly, Guan Yu looked at his eldest son seriously and said:

"well-done."

Zhang Fei then spoke more energetically:

"I have been waiting at the west pass of Nagucheng for several days. When I came here, Commander Pang said that Cao Jun would definitely have no way to deal with your giant boat, my second brother."

"Advisor Pang is also from Jingzhou. He said that Cao's army either chopped down wood to block the river and set fire to it, or cut off the water level in the river."

"Commander Pang asked me to scout extensively. When he saw Cao's army going to the upper reaches of the Han River to cut trees or build up soil, he would use his eldest brother's banner and march directly to Wancheng. The second brother and Military Counselor Xu would definitely cooperate."

As he spoke, Zhang Fei touched his head and laughed:

"I just didn't expect that my second brother would take the lead!"

Guan Yu also had a faint smile on his face, which disappeared in a flash. He patted his third brother on the shoulder, then stood up and opened the tent door.

The tall figure covered most of the tent door, and Wancheng, which was facing the tent door, could only be seen through the corners.

"Yide, the only way to win this battle is to win!"

Zhang Fei suddenly stood up:

"In order to defeat Wancheng, I am willing to listen to the general's orders!"

After the troops and horses of the two sides merged, Guan Yu's troops immediately numbered more than 10,000, but they were still insufficient to attack the city.

Zhang Fei volunteered to take people to cut down trees in the surrounding area. He had already tasted the benefits of wells and ladders in the battle of Yangpingguan. He even brought two hundred craftsmen with him on this trip. He was already ready to attack the city, and Guan Yu was in charge.

Gan Gui returned quickly after transporting the soldiers. They needed to transport as much grain, grass and ordnance as possible before Cao Jun in Fancheng could react and block the Feishui River.

What was a little surprising was that when he was passing through Xinye in Fancheng, he saw people gathering on the shore and waving to their fleet.

Gan Gui ordered the fleet to go ahead, while he slowed down to meet them.

"The general looks very handsome. Is he really a subordinate of Uncle Liu?"

Someone among the villagers immediately laughed and joked:

"Didn't you see General Guan on the bow earlier? How can you still admit your mistake?"

Gan Gui jumped out of the boat, helped her husband sit down and talked, explaining:

"I am from Yizhou, and I have only been with Xuande Gong for more than a year."

The old man nodded and patted the back of Gangui's hand with his dry bark-like palm:

"We want to ask, is General Guan going to attack Wancheng?"

Gan Gui was a little embarrassed for a moment, and someone in the crowd laughed and said:

"Young general, we have all lived in Xinye, and we are only a hundred miles away from Wancheng. How has this place ever been peaceful before Uncle Liu came and after he left?"

But Gangui is still confused:

"With military law in place, I still can't say this."

The old man nodded and asked again:

"Is General Guan short of food?"

Gan Gui's heart trembled. When he was in Jiangdong, he supervised the troops, and the people's attitude towards him was wary. Later, when he joined his lord and first entered Yizhou, the people's attitude towards him was one of scrutiny.

And these people in Xinye...

Gan Gui turned away and said dullly:

"I just want to transport food to General Guan. Please don't worry, I won't starve General Guan."

After saying this, Gan Gui walked away, but after taking two steps, she turned back and said:

"General Guan will win this battle. You just need to take care of yourselves. General Guan will drive the Cao thieves away. Don't worry!"

After saying that, Gan Gui jumped on the boat, and the boat galloped along the downstream like an arrow from the string, leaving behind dozens of longing villagers.

Zhao A finally saw the kind of war described by Li Gong.

After the giant ship was anchored, he was transferred to the command of the young General Gan as General Guan was mobilized.

What they do is pretty much the same as on a big boat, which is transporting grain, grass and ordnance.

Only one day after sending General Guan to the north, Cao's army blocked the Jinkou where the Han River entered the Feishui River, and General Gan's order was to kill them.

There was a stern with its sails fully hoisted, and it ran into Cao Jun's blockade on the Tiao River without hesitation. The sailors who were manning the boat jumped off the ship at the last quarter of the moment and swam to other boats.

Cao Jun on the shore began to fire arrows. Zhao A's body was shaking a little, but he still buried his head and followed General Gan's instructions to rush through the blockade and continue northward.

Cao Jun's arrows kept raining, and they chased for a while before retreating angrily. Zhao A looked back and saw that there were many corpses of his colleagues in the water. The surrounding river water had been dyed red. These robes were motionless, slowly flowing with the water. Drift downstream.

Zhao A remembered what Li Gong said about the Si River being cut off when Cao Jun massacred Xuzhou. At that time, he thought it was an exaggeration, but now he is speechless.

Regarding the blockade of the Jinkou of Juishui, Gan Gui just quietly took dozens of crossbows at Dangyang Ferry after turning back, and equipped each ship with one.

This thing, which Huang Yueying simplified based on the idea of ​​​​Dasan Gong, is easy to use. Zhao A had sent a lot to Fancheng for the defenders before. Now the waterway in Fancheng has been temporarily blocked, and the remaining ones are just used by Ganguiwu. Make the most of it.

General Guan is already busy enough, Gan Gui thought.

Guan Yu's expression was indeed a bit serious at this time. Guan Ping was sent out by him to explore north, but he brought back bad news.

There is a small county town named Bowang in the north of Wancheng. The low wall is only half a person high and cannot be called a defense.

Relying on the common people's identification, Guan Ping easily captured the Bowang County magistrate and learned a piece of not-so-good news:

"I was ordered by Prime Minister Cao to borrow grain to comfort the soldiers and horses in Yecheng."

Therefore, it can be said that Guan Yu had mixed feelings. Xu Junshi's plan of fishing for the army to attack the coach seemed to be effective, but it was a bit too forward.

And how many people are there in this Yecheng army? Who is the leader? Don't know anything.

"The Cao thieves don't have much food and grass in total. They should only have three to five thousand people at most, right?"

Zhang Fei touched his chin and guessed.

"You're already the prime minister, so you won't want to eat people again, right?"

Guan Yu snorted coldly:

"Since the people are being robbed, why worry about food?"

"Starting tomorrow, my third brother will attack the city with me!"

Everyone knows what Cao Jun means by borrowing grain, but it's just that he will lend you ready grain now, and then you will be exempted from 50% to 10% tax later.

As for the borrowed cash grain, is it the only ration? No one cares.

As a result, Wancheng's attack and defense became more and more anxious. Even Cao Cao himself ran across the east wall, south wall and north wall with his sword in hand to boost morale and provide emergency relief.

"The Prime Minister might as well send a team of elite cavalry to break out of the encirclement and ask for help southward." Someone suggested.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and refused:

"Now that Guan Yunchang is here, it can be seen that Fancheng's offense and defense have reached a critical point."

"As long as Fancheng can be broken, the Jieshui River can be sealed, and Guan Yunchang and Zhang Fei will not be able to escape."

"If we return to help at this time, Fancheng will definitely fall short."

Cao Cao is not unfamiliar with this kind of situation, it is the same in Guandu, and it is also the same in Bailang Mountain. As long as he can persevere and push through, he will definitely win!

Cao Cao believed so, and he still remembered Le Jin in his heart: With such a good opportunity, it’s time to take action, right?

Le Jin also judged this.

Most of Shazhou, which can only be seen at the top, has been exposed, and Fancheng can be seen in Xiangyang City being surrounded.

Although we don't know why the navy changed ships, we can still see that the navy was fighting fiercely with Cao's army at the ferry.

No one can restrain him at this time. If he doesn't go south to rescue him now, when will he wait?

After nearly a month, Xiangyang City took the initiative to open the city gate again.

Le Jin led five thousand riders out of the city and charged directly at the yellow flag.

Xiangyang City has a special geographical location, with the Han River to the north and two mountains to the south. From the road between the mountains, there is a plain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Previously, when Liu Biao was in charge of Jingzhou, he set his headquarters in Xiangyang, trained naval officers to build a fortified city, and became dominant for a while.

But at this time, the terrain restricted Le Jin's performance. He wanted to bring more troops, but he couldn't do it between two mountains.

Riding his horse at a gallop, Le Jin rushed to the front to lead the charge. This was the fighting method he was most familiar with and best at.

Huang Zhong had naturally seen such a big movement.

Holding his breath and concentrating, silently counting the time in his heart, when Le Jin was halfway through the charge, Huang Zhong opened his bow and shot an arrow into the sky.

The arrow shaft was hollow, tearing the air and emitting a sharp explosion.

Following Huang Zhong's signal, the soldiers hiding in the forest used all their strength to cut down the rope in front of them. The boulders that had been prepared began to roll down the hillside as the rope broke. The target was the galloping Le Jin.

Le Jin whistled, and Yue Qianqi accelerated with Le Jin, while the cavalry behind slowed down to avoid the rolling stones.

Huang Zhong didn't panic at all and sat quietly on his horse, watching Le Jin lead the cavalry through trenches one after another. There were fewer and fewer knights following Le Jin.

Le Jin secretly hated it, but he was not afraid. As long as he could kill the general, he would be able to make a final decision. This was the way to survive for the general who got into the battle first!

When he was only five hundred steps away from Huang Zhong, Le Jin cursed:

"Veteran general! You are so deceitful, do you dare to fight?"

In Le Jin's delighted eyes, he saw that the veteran also began to speed up and rush towards him.

Give up archery? Then it will come true!

Le Jin roared out to show his strength to the soldiers around him, then danced his long spear and ran towards the veteran general's face.

Huang Zhong's heart suddenly burst with pride, and he also shouted:

"The one who killed you is Huang Zhongye!"

Le Jin was furious. He saw the veteran holding a spear in his left hand and hitting the pole with his right elbow. The spear immediately bent, then rebounded violently and crashed onto his spear. A strong force was sent back along the pole, causing him to He could barely hold the weapon.

Is this really a veteran? Le Jin was horrified.

But Huang Zhong didn't give him so much time to think. After breaking the opponent's weapon with his right elbow, he quickly reached down. He pulled out the saber that had been with him for decades and flipped it back.

A cloud of blood fell into the air, and stars fell on Huang Zhong's gray beard and hair. For a time, no one in Cao's cavalry dared to laugh at this veteran. Everyone understood that this was a mistake.

Huang Zhong turned around and thought to himself:

"Commander Xu's plan is really effective."

In the short time just now, the sword on his left hand had also fallen off, leaving only the sword on his right hand.

But the veteran was not afraid, and pointed his long sword at Cao Qi.

Rolling thunder echoed across the valley:

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
