Chapter 328: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Five days later, the flood waters receded.

After this rainstorm, the sun was shining brightly for two days.

It's almost August, it's dog days, the sun is scorching, but the ground is completely dry in just two days.

In Xiangyang City, Guan Yu said to the generals: "Now that the flood has receded and the ground has dried, when the troops are sent to Jiangling as soon as possible, our army should also raise troops to attack Fancheng again." ”

Guan Xing arched his hand and said: "Fancheng has been soaked by the flood for several days, presumably the wall is seriously damaged, and the child is willing to be the pioneer!" We are sure that we will be able to defeat it in three days! ”

"Good! My son is heroic! Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled: "Since this is the case, let you be the pioneer!" ”

"Report!" At that moment, a soldier rushed into the temple.

Guan Yu looked at the soldier and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier arched his hand and said: "The scouts have found that there is a troop of soldiers and horses coming to the north of Fancheng, there are as many as forty or fifty thousand people, and it is only fifty miles away from Fancheng!" ”

"Oh? I can't imagine that there are really soldiers and horses on the other side of Wancheng? Guan Yu glanced at Liu Chan, and then smiled: "It seems that they want Yu Ban to drag me first, and then the army is cutting off our army's retreat, but unfortunately now Yu Ban has been defeated, if they come together, I still have to avoid the edge for the time being, but now, I am really not afraid of him!" ”

Liu Chan asked the soldiers, "Who is the leader?" ”

"The Chinese army is under the banner of Sima!"

Liu Chan's face was slightly gloomy: "It's Sima Yi!" ”

"Sima Yi?" The corners of Guan Yu's mouth hooked, and he said with a smile: "Who should I be, it turned out to be a scholar, is Cao Cao unavailable?" ”

Guan Ping arched his hand and said: "Father, now that Sima Yi has led tens of thousands of troops to aid Fancheng, let's stick to Xiangyang and send some soldiers and horses back to Jingzhou to prevent a sneak attack from Jiangdong." ”

"No way!" Guan Yu waved his hand and said: "Fancheng can go down in the future, our army has already lost thousands of people for Fancheng, how can it fall short?" Besides, Sima Yi is just a scholar, and he has never led an army, so why be afraid? ”

"Second uncle!" Liu Chan looked at Guan Yu and said, "Second uncle, Sima Yi must not be underestimated, he has never led an army, it doesn't mean that he can't use soldiers." In my opinion, it is better to garrison Fancheng first and increase troops in Jiangling. ”

"Adou, you're serious!" Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "What if Sima Yi understands the art of war?" I have been fighting the world for more than 30 years, am I not as good as Sima Yi? ”

Of course not!

Liu Chan wanted to say that he couldn't, but in the end he still held back these four words.

Looking at the current situation, Guan Yu will not give up if he does not take Fancheng, it is impossible to retreat to Xiangyang and lead the army back to Jiangling.

Liu Chan is only one person, and now there are dangers on both sides of Fancheng and Jiangling. Liu Chan was in a dilemma for a while, and he didn't know which side to take care of.

Stay in Fancheng, Jiangling only has 20,000 soldiers and horses, Jiangdong may send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is subordinate to Cao Cao, and there are also 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the northern part of Jiangxia.

Liu Chan also can't guarantee that Pang Tong will be able to defend Jiangling, because Pang Tong is an adventurous faction and likes to use tricks. Moreover, there is Lu Xun in Jiangdong, Pang Tong is not clear about Lu Xun's ability, and it is very likely that he will be careless and underestimate the enemy.

If he goes back to Jiangling, Liu Chan is not worried about Guan Yu, after all, Guan Yu's character flaws are too big, and it is very likely that he is not Sima Yi's opponent. You must know that even Zhuge Liang didn't dare to have the slightest contempt for Sima Yi.

Liu Chan groaned and said: "Otherwise, I will return to Jiangling with these surrendered troops, and the second uncle will continue to attack Fancheng." However, Sima Yi is a person, the second uncle must not be despised by him, if he shows his defeat, the second uncle should not take the initiative to attack, everything is based on stability. ”

After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Chan still decided to keep Jingzhou first.

If there is danger in the rear of Jingzhou, not only Guan Yu, but even he himself may have problems.

"Hmm!" Guan Yu nodded and said, "It's okay for you to go to Jiangling, Xiangfan's side is on the front line, and it's not safe." ”

Liu Chan took a deep breath, listening to Guan Yu's words, obviously not taking his advice to heart.

Guan Yu gave an order, and then went to prepare to send troops to continue the attack on Fancheng.

Before leaving, Liu Chan called Ma Liang, Guan Ping, Zhao Lei, Wang Fu and others over.

Liu Chan told everyone: "Sima Yi, this person, his intelligence is no less than Zhuge military division, and he is good at calculation, if you continue to attack Fancheng, you should focus on stability, no matter what, don't attack easily." If the second uncle insists on sending troops, you must die for it! Losing the city and losing the land is still secondary, and the second uncle must not be allowed to have a mistake! ”

"Don't worry!" Ma Liang, Zhao Lei and the others nodded and said solemnly.

If Guan Yu has a good job, Liu Bei will follow in the footsteps of history.

Then Guan Yu crossed the river with his soldiers and horses, and continued to attack Fancheng to deal with Sima Yi.

In this way, in the city, only the three thousand soldiers and horses brought by Liu Chan from Shangyong remained.

"Mr. Zichu!" After Guan Yu led the troops away, Liu Chan called Liu Ba and said to Liu Ba: "Now I want to go to Jiangling with the troops, but the second uncle is here, I really can't rest assured."

So I decided to leave you a thousand soldiers and horses, although this thousand soldiers and horses are not much, but they are all cavalry, and if they are used well, they are worth 10,000 soldiers and horses. You are stationed in Xiangyang, pay close attention to the situation in Jiangbei, and you must not let the second uncle be in danger.

General Pound, please also stay in Xiangyang to assist Mr. Zichu! ”

Pang De said worriedly: "Shizi, there are more than 10,000 soldiers who have surrendered, and it is nothing for me to personally take 3,000 soldiers and horses to Jiangling with you." It's just that you only brought 2,000 soldiers and horses to escort these troops to Gangneung...... Those soldiers are afraid that they will rebel! ”

Liu Ba nodded and said: "Yes, now that Yu Ban, Xu Huang and others are among them, which soldiers will definitely rebel when they see that there are not many soldiers and horses escorted, save out of the ban, Xu Huang presides over the overall situation, and the prince must not be careless!" ”

"I have my own solution!" Liu Chan smiled and said, "Go and bring Yu Ban to me!" ”

"No!" Liu Ba gave up his hand to take the order.

"I've seen the son!" However, after a while, Yu Ban was brought to Liu Chan's side.

Yu Ban was already in his sixties, and after the defeat of Zeng Kouchuan, his hair was now gray, and his face was full of fatigue.

"You may be seated!" Liu Chan nodded, asked Yu Ban to sit down opposite, and said: "General Yu Ban, Xiangyang is short of grain and grass, and now I am about to take these troops to Jiangling, but there is a shortage of manpower, lest they break out in turmoil, I have heard that you are strict in governing the army, I don't know what countermeasures you have?" ”

A gleam flashed in Yu Ban's eyes, if he could lead these soldiers and horses to rebel, and then seize Xiangyang and cut off Guan Yu's retreat, then he would be able to make up for it!

Yu Ban was silent, and said in a deep voice: "The prince's concern is not unreasonable, but as long as you don't give these troops a chance to rebel." ”

"Oh?" Liu Chan was puzzled: "Please tell the general in detail!" ”

"If you don't have the strength, how can you rebel?" Yu Ban said: "As long as the soldiers give them a little ration every day, they can't eat enough, how can they rebel?" ”

Liu Chan sneered in his heart when he heard this, sure enough, Yu Ban didn't really surrender, the soldiers already had the intention of rebelling, if they couldn't eat enough, wouldn't it anger them and force them to rebel?

Liu Chan didn't have the intention of breaking the ban, and said with a smile: "That's right, they can't eat enough, where can they have the strength to rebel?" The general really has a good plan, when Nanyang is captured and my father's Northern Expedition is successful, I will definitely recommend you to my father at that time! ”

"Then thank you Shizi!" Yu Ban said with a smile.

Then Yu Ban was taken down again, and Liu Ba arched his hand and said: "Shizi, Yu Ban's plan is obviously ill-intentioned, if the soldiers can't eat enough, they are more likely to riot, which has to be guarded against." ”

Liu Chan nodded and said, "I can also see that Yu Ban doesn't have any good intentions, but we can plan it, and don't give them food tonight." Besides, you let Pound lead his troops......

By the way, Yu Ban and Xu Huang don't want to give them anything to eat, send someone to find someone in the city who is good at ventriloquism, and prepare some fish gelatin! ”

After listening to Liu Chan's instructions, Liu Ba's eyes lit up and he gave up his hand: "Haha, in this way, the soldiers will not dare to rebel, and Xu Huang's reputation in Cao Wei will be stinky." ”

The next day, Liu Chan led 2,000 soldiers and horses and rushed to Jiangling with his troops.

By noon, the soldiers arrived in Yicheng County.

These soldiers didn't eat last night, and Liu Chan didn't give them anything to eat in the morning, they were all hungry and had to march, which can be described as miserable.

Seeing that there were only 2,000 soldiers and horses in custody, and now that they could not eat enough, many of these soldiers naturally had crooked thoughts.

Their families are all in the north of Wancheng, and now they are going to Gangneung, and they don't know when they will be able to reunite with their families, and they may never even see each other again.

If you can rebel, rescue Xu Huang and Xiahou Shang, and ask them to preside over the overall situation, you will definitely be able to go back to reunite with your family.

Huang Xu urged the horse to come to Liu Chan's side and said, "Shizi, these soldiers are whispering, I'm afraid that turmoil is about to break out!" ”

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Stop and follow the plan!" ”

Huang Xu nodded, turned around and shouted, "Stop and rest, distribute rations!" ”

The soldiers and horses stopped to rest, and the soldiers buried their pots to cook and distribute rations.

Soon the food was distributed, and a soldier looked at the dough cake in his hand, which was only the size of a baby's palm, and couldn't help scolding: "Damn, what are you going to eat with this little food, it's not enough to stuff your teeth, do you want to starve me to death?" ”

"Brothers, the Jingzhou army doesn't treat us as human beings at all, let's go against the fuck and go back to Xiangyang!"

"Return to Xiangyang and reunite with your family!"

Many surrendered soldiers stood up one after another and rushed towards the surrounding Jingzhou army.

Suddenly, there was a burst of galloping horses from the rear of the Jingzhou army, these soldiers were shocked, looked back, only to see the sand and dust in the rear, looking at its scale, only afraid of one or two hundred thousand people.

Pound led the cavalry out from the rear, stabbed off the head of a soldier with his sword, and shouted: "Who dares to rebel? ”

Heads rose to the sky, and patches of blood splattered on the ground.

These soldiers were immediately frightened and did not dare to act rashly.

"Don't go back yet?"

"Huh? Did you take my weapon? ”

"Want to die?"

"Squatting with your head in your hands!"

The surrounding Jingzhou army immediately counterattacked, and the surrendered soldiers saw that there were large groups of soldiers and horses in the rear, and they did not dare to resist, and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

A few who were not afraid of death and wanted to resist were all captured and controlled by the Jingzhou army alone.

Liu Chance stepped forward immediately, and behind him, Yu Ban, Xu Huang, and Xiahou Shang also rode horses to accompany them.

However, the three of them did not voluntarily, and saw that the three of them were tied behind their backs, controlled by the soldiers on their horses, and their mouths were sealed with fish glue made of fish fat, and the soldiers led the horses to accompany them.

"Hmph, I expected you to rebel!" Liu Chan was angry and sank into the dantian, and shouted in a big victory: "If it weren't for Yu Ban, Xu Huang's two generals would have come up with ideas, and I would only be afraid that they would succeed." ”

When those soldiers heard this, they all looked in the direction of Liu Chan, only to see Yu Ban, Xu Huang and others following behind Liu Chan.

These surrenderers were all shocked, how could General Yu and General Xu really surrender? And come up with a plan to deal with them?

You must know that the motivation for their rebellion is because of Xu Huang, Yu Ban is also there, if the rebellion is successful, you can ask Xu Huang and them to preside over the overall situation, if Yu Ban is not there, no one will preside over the overall situation, Mo said that he went home to reunite with his family, but he was afraid that he would not even be able to pass Hanshui.

Now that Xu Huang has really surrendered, and he has helped Liu Chan come up with a strategy to deal with them, is that still a fart?

Xu Huang and the three of them followed behind Liu Chan, and if the soldiers carefully observed, they would definitely find clues.

"What do you see? Don't you want me to squat well? ”

"I'm looking at cutting off your head!"

However, the Jingzhou army did not give the surrendered soldiers a chance to take a closer look, the Jingzhou army stepped forward with weapons in hand and scolded, the surrendered soldiers in the front row hurriedly lowered their heads, and the descendants in the back could not see the situation in front clearly.

Liu Chan glanced at a veteran soldier behind him, and the veteran said loudly when he saw this: "Shizi, these people are all soldiers from Wancheng, and their families are all in the north, just in case, let's kill them all!" ”

Yu Ban, who was next to him with his mouth gagged, heard this, and looked at the old soldier with a frightened expression, because the voice made by the old soldier was actually his voice.

This veteran is Liu Chan ordered people to look for soldiers in the army who are good at ventriloquism and good at imitating voices.

When all the soldiers heard this, they were all frightened, and some of them couldn't help but scold: "Yu Ban, you dog thief, you surrendered when you led your troops to lose the battle, and now you want to harm us!" ”

"I won't let you go!"

The Jingzhou army immediately stepped forward and arrested the soldiers who insulted Yu Ban.

"Yu Ban" said again: "Shizi, you have also seen it, when the interruption continues, they will suffer from chaos, they are unwilling to surrender, and it is a waste of food to keep it, it is better to kill it!" ”

The soldiers immediately panicked, and said one after another: "The son of the world spares his life, the son of the world spares his life!" ”

"We don't dare anymore, we must be obedient and obedient, and ask the prince to spare my life!"

"The son of the world spares his life!"

Liu Chan was embarrassed: "Yesterday, the two generals Xu Huang suggested that I kill you, but I don't want to, I want to give you less food, and if you don't have the strength, you won't rebel." But you have disappointed me so much! ”

"We won't eat it, we just want the son of the world to spare my life!"

"yes, I'll just drink water, I'm not hungry!"

"The son of the world spares his life!"

"Please spare your life!"

"That's it!" Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "My father is benevolent, since you have surrendered, I don't want to kill more." But if you dare to rebel, I will have to kill you all.

Don't worry, I brought you to Gangneung because there is no food in Xiangyang, and you don't want to starve in Xiangyang, right?

Now that the second uncle is on the Northern Expedition, it won't be long before Wancheng can be captured, and then you can go home and reunite with your family.

What was good under Cao Cao? When my father was in Xinye, the people of Xinye lived and worked in peace and contentment, and when the second uncle seized Nanyang, you can not only reunite with your family, but also live a life of peace and contentment! ”

"Thank you for your benevolence!"

"We don't dare anymore!"

Liu Chan immediately looked at the soldiers who took the lead in the rebellion and were arrested alone, and said: "You rebelled because you wanted to meet your family, I can understand, you are just poor people, and I don't want to kill you, but I can't take you in the army, Huang Xu, send someone to send them back to Jiangling to lock me up." ”

"No!" Huang Xu gave up his hand to receive the order, and waved his big hand and said, "Take them to Xiangyang for me!" ”

"Give them more food, and if you don't have enough to eat, how can you march!" Liu Chan said to the soldiers who were distributing the grain.

"Thank you, thank you!" When the soldiers heard this, they were grateful.

Immediately, Liu Chan returned to the front army, Pang De also rushed over from behind, and Huang Xu also rushed over.

Liu Chan looked at Yu Ban and said, "General Yu Ban, your strategy is really good!" ”

Yu Ban's mouth was sealed, and his face was like ashes without saying a word.

Huang Xu looked at Liu Chan and said, "Shizi, have all the soldiers who took the lead in rebellion been released?" ”

"Of course I put it!" Liu Chan looked at Pang De and said, "General Pang De, after you return to Xiangyang, you will personally escort them across the river." ”

Xu Huang on the side, Xiahou Shang and the others looked at Liu Chan angrily when they heard this. If these soldiers go back, they will definitely tell Sima Yi about today's events, and their reputation will be stinky at that time.

Liu Chan sighed and said, "General Pang De, you can go back with those Yan Dan's troops, and leave the fifty cavalry behind to stir up the dust." I can't help the second uncle in Fancheng anymore, so I have to use these troops to make a mess Sima Yi win the hearts of the army. ”

Listening to Liu Chan's words, Pang De was quite moved in his heart, and arched his hand: "Don't worry, Shizi, I am staring at Xiangyang, and I will definitely not let General Guan have any mistakes." You just have to rest assured, Jiangdong sneak attack Jingzhou, you also have to be very careful. ”

Liu Chan got up and patted Pang Dede on the shoulder: "Fancheng will be entrusted to you, here in Jiangling, I must let the Jiangdong soldiers and horses come and go!" ”
