"Come on, come on, after drinking, I will also lead my troops to the imperial capital for a walk." Xiahoudun said with a smile at this time, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes when he listened, they are now in Runan, and they are not ordinary far from the imperial capital, although it is said that if they go to the imperial capital, they are not called heroes.

This is because, in the past few months, the imperial capital has changed, and there have been famous people such as Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song, who have ravaged the imperial capital, as well as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others, during this period, they have become famous.

Cao Cao fled quickly, and now he is stationed in Runan, with the help of the Xiahou brothers, and now he lives under the Yuan family, and the Yuan family treats them very politely.

"Big brother, why haven't we done it until now?" Xiahoudun drank a glass of wine, put down the wine bottle and asked.

"The coach on the other side, Guan Yunchang, is not a simple character, and as soon as we arrived in Wancheng, the other party has a large army coming, which means that we have actually been exposed."

Cao Cao explained at this time that now he still needs to rely on relatives and friends of the same clan, and his posture is not high, so he cannot be called "Cao Gong".

"There are so many soldiers and horses, how can they all be exposed, take advantage of the fact that there is no general on the opposite side who has no commander to rush forward and fight directly." Xiahoudun said impatiently at this time.

"It's not that simple, the other party is just consolidating the defense line now, defending against our attacks, it's not easy to sneak attack, the other party is strictly defending, we only need to put pressure on the other side now." Xiahou Yuan shook his head, although he didn't know why Cao Cao had to wait, he was still willing to believe Cao Cao.

"I heard that Liu Biao sent someone to discuss with the Yuan family, right?" Although Xiahou Yuan didn't understand, Cao Cao didn't say anything, and he didn't have anything to say, just follow up when the time comes.

Now their status is actually equivalent to a partner, a venture capital investment behavior carried out by Xiahou to Cao's family, so the upper and lower boundaries are not so obvious, and there is no distinction between priority and priority.

"There's such a thing." Cao Cao didn't hide it, "I heard that it's a famous man named Huang Chengyan in Jiangdong, but I don't know what to say." ”

"I heard that Liu Biao recently pressed Guan Yu in Xiangshui and beat him?" Xiahou Yuan asked with a little curiosity.

"That's true, after all, Guan Yunchang is a northerner and is not good at water warfare, and the sailor general under His Royal Highness, who is the best at water warfare, is not there." Cao Cao shook his head and said.

"That's right." Xiahou Yuan nodded, saying that what Cao Cao said was very reasonable, although it seems that the generals of the Northern Regions are being pressed and beaten now, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that this is only temporary, although Guan Yu is the first general in the Northern Regions, but he is in charge of the partial division, and the heavy troops in the Northern Regions are now gathered in Liangzhou, and the target is not Jingzhou.

Moreover, it is Jingzhou, Liu Biao has also lost Nanyang County, and now he has retreated from Wancheng to Nanjun, and then retreated, followed by the Yellow River, Guan Yunchang went deep into the heart of the enemy, and it was inevitable to suffer some losses.

"They're looking for help." Xiahou Yuan continued to ask, to be honest, Xiahou Yuan is very interested in seeing fierce generals now, Guan Yu and other famous generals, he really wants to try, is it worthy of his reputation?

Just when Cao Cao and the Xiahou brothers were chatting about the war, Guan Yu's camp north of Xiangshui, Guan Yu finally prepared to clean up Liu Biao after receiving a secret letter.

However, although Guan Yu suffered a loss, he was not impatient, and he knew his weaknesses very well, so he was much more cautious in dealing with it.

Therefore, until now, Guan Yu has not suffered much loss, but after the defeat, the original plan was forced to stop in order to avoid giving the enemy a chance.

But after the reinforcements arrived, he was finally able to do it.

"I've seen a long history......

"Why should Yun Chang be so polite."

Guo Jia arrived with reinforcements, in fact, he alone is comparable to ten thousand troops, Guan Yu is now suppressed, because of the lack of assistance from a military advisor, although he himself has invincible strength, but the enemy general Huang Zhong can also block him, after being blocked, even if the general wins, the enemy strategists can break through the military formation, and the battle will eventually fail.

"It's up to me to weigh you Jingzhou celebrities." Guo Jia said with a sneer after looking at the south from afar at this time.

Soon Huang Chengyan felt a kind of constraint, not the kind of restraint that was slightly suppressed in the face of a powerful enemy, but a kind of chaos that could not be perfectly controlled, causing the layout of himself to begin to fall into trouble in the game.

"Could it be that the enemy has reinforcements? However, in essence, there is one thing you can't get around if you want to deal with me, and that is to cross the river first. At this time, Huang Chengyan also noticed it, but he was not worried, and looked at the map and muttered to himself silently.

Although now that they are losing and retreating, after Guan Yu is approaching Xiangyang, the pressure on this defense line has increased a lot, but after all, they have been prepared, and this defense line is not something that can be broken.

Even without waiting for the contact with Yizhou Yangzhou to send troops, the Yuan clan, who was originally stationed in Runan, had already preemptively locked the battlefield in the north of Jingxiang, and did not give Guan Yu the opportunity to cross the river to the south at all.

"Report, general, our army scouts have found that Guan Yu's army has a tendency to move to the camp."

"Migrate to the upper reaches of the Han River?"

"There's a trend."

"How far is our camp from the nearest place where the water is gentle?" Huang Chengyan thought for a while and asked, although he also knew the distance, but he had not walked the exact distance, so he asked Huang Zhongdao.

"More than thirty miles." Huang Zhong answered this question after a little thought.

"In this case, transfer some warships upstream, there is a valley mouth upstream, the distance between the two banks is only two miles, but the current is too turbulent, even a large ship is not easy to navigate, but after that place the current is not much different from here." After listening to this, Huang Chengyan cautiously gave the order, the width of the Han River is very uneven, one moment wide, and the other narrow.

Originally, it was logical to say that passing through a narrow place is the best choice, but then it is not the case, on the one hand, the water flow is turbulent in the narrow place, and the undercurrent is surging, even if the big ship wants to pass, you need to be cautious, not to mention the northerners.

On the other hand, although the narrow place is not far from the camp in the core of Nanjun today, because it is too obvious, although it is unlikely that it is impossible to force a crossing, but this kind of place that is obviously threatening, Huang Chengyan will not forget to send people to inspect it on time.

"Whoa! Huang Zu hugged his fists at this time, and immediately sent five big ships according to Huang Chengyan's arrangement, and a general passed through the narrow mouth and went upstream to keep an eye on it.

"Be careful when passing, the river is turbulent there, and the two banks are prominent, the big boats going upstream can mainly monitor the infestation, don't get too close to the north bank, the river is wide there and it is easy to have accidents, and report the situation in time." After Huang Chengyan admonished, he then let Huang Zu leave.

Although I don't know what you want to pay attention to, now that the bridge has been demolished, if you want to come over, you can only cross the river, but there is a narrow mouth, the water is turbulent, and it is easy to capsize without a big boat, I will transfer a few more boats to keep an eye on you, I want to see what tricks you have, Huang Chengyan said confidently at this time.

Guo Jia and Guan Yu were looking at the rushing river at the narrow mouth of the Han River at this time, because it was suddenly narrowing, and the flow speed of the water here far exceeded the estimate.

"Fengxiao, although I don't understand the navy, it's not a place to pass no matter how you look at it." Guan Yu looked at the rushing Han Shui and said with a frown.

"The soldier will definitely not be able to pass, just the speed of this water is ......" Guo Jia also knew very well that if he wanted to take a boat from here, he would definitely not be able to do it, so he turned his head to Yan Liang behind Guan Yu and said, "Gongji, jump down and swim two hundred steps to see." ”

Yan Liang didn't know what Guo Jia meant by this, and by the way, he didn't think about how something happened to him suddenly, but he still carried out Guo Jia's order without discounting, and put down his weapon, otherwise he would sink to the bottom of this hundred and ten catties of things, jump directly into the Han water, and began to swim hard.

Although they are northerners, not all northerners don't know how to water, and there are many water systems in the north.

Guan Yu didn't understand what it meant, but when he saw Yan Liang swimming, he couldn't help but feel that he was moving in the direction of the current, and he suddenly understood what Guo Jia meant.

"Gong Ji is back." Guan Yu called Zhou Cang back without saying a word, and then the river exploded, and soon Yan Liang jumped onto the river bank with his arms thrown around.

"That's right, the water here is so exaggerated, and when the rain comes down for a while, the speed of the water here will be even more exaggerated." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Since we can't cross the river from here, why don't we choose a place where the water is gentle downstream and try to grab the beach?" Guan Yu asked puzzledly, this water flow even Yan Liang's strength doesn't know if he feels washed away, if this is an ordinary soldier, if he leaves it, he will be washed away in a few breaths.

"We can think of it, and this Jingzhou people can naturally think of it, so their big boats have been patrolling, and the river surface is wide where the downstream water flow is gentle, and he patrols on the river, and we don't even have the means to restrain it." Guo Jia explained a few words, but there was not much.

"The problem is that if we can't cross the Huai River, nothing will change at all in essence." Guan Yu frowned again and again, he felt that the two of them didn't even have a way to cross the river until now.

Of course, Guan Yu also knew that when he arrived at a place where the width of the water surface was not too exaggerated upstream, his own trebuchet, bed crossbow and something would also be useful, but he couldn't cross the river, and this kind of battle could be regarded as an invasion at most, and he couldn't threaten the enemy.

What's more, if the other party is more cautious, it may not even be an incursion, after all, the development trend of today's warships is a city wall, although it is impossible to withstand a hundred attacks from large trebuchets like a city wall, but one or two times on the top, the ship cannot sink ......

What's more, the city wall is a dead thing, the ship is movable, be careful, and it is not so easy to be hit if you are far away, after all, it is not the kind of naval battle, the two sides chase and fight, and even unceremoniously fight against the attack from the opposite side.

"This is true, but we still hope that Zhou Yu will suffer a little bit if we move the camp here, if it is downstream, we can only hope that our sailors will come around quickly." Guo Jia looked helpless, there was no way to use his IQ, and it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

can't cross the river, even if there is a means to reach the sky, Guo Jia can't use it, so he can only stare at the enemy across the river.

"So, you already have a plan?" Guan Yu's eyebrows moved, although he didn't show joy, it was obvious that his tone was different from before.

"I'm afraid the enemy has thought that I want to cross the Huai River, but he can't think of how I want to cross it, he is probably thinking more about waiting for me in the camp on the other side of the river!" Guo Jia said with a chuckle.

"Although I am not good at water warfare or crossing rivers, as long as I am here, the outcome of the war is doomed." Guo Jia said proudly.

Then, without waiting for Guan Yu to ask, Guo Jia slipped back to the camp and ordered a group of soldiers to start cutting trees and trees to arrange the camp, but no matter how you look at it, the number of trees cut down is a little beyond imagination.

In the next few days, Huang Chengyan sent several large ships to observe the opposite bank of the river, and all he could see was the endless cutting of trees on the opposite side, and the number of trebuchets on the shore north of the Han River was increasing, but this did not make any sense.

To put it simply, Huang Chengyan had already explained very clearly when he sent a reconnaissance, only paying attention to the situation on the other side of the river, not approaching, even if the opposite side was full of trebuchets, there was basically no hope of hitting in the face of boats that were still swimming more than 300 paces away.

In addition, the generals who sent out the patrol were calm and had clear orders, so the Jingzhou army had no intention of provoking at all, and just wandered out of the range of the trebuchet, so that the soldiers under Guan Yu's command could only glare angrily.

"General, what did you say the military advisor was doing, why did he suddenly start cutting wood and building ships, and they were all craftsmen recruited at will." When inspecting the riverside, Yan Liang looked at the Jingzhou military ships still swimming there on the river from a distance and asked with a puzzled expression.

"I don't know." Guan Yu said with a wry smile at this time, alas, he has commanded all the infantry and cavalry, but the navy is still new to contact, and he still doesn't understand the gameplay of the navy.

"Hansheng, do you think their shipbuilding method is useful?" On the Jingzhou military ship inspecting at this time, Huang Chengyan asked Huang Zhong.

"Strategist, you know ships better than I do, how do I know?" Huang Zhong listened to Huang Chengyan shouting his name at this time, he felt a bad feeling, sighed, and said, "Of course, although I don't know how to build ships, I know the fact that ships are not built like this. ”

"Yes, that's not how ships are made." Huang Chengyan put down the clairvoyant mirror, nodded and said, no matter which shipbuilder is building, he is not directly riveting the logs, but now the opposite side is directly building ships with the wood that can be used to make beams.

The method is very simple, just like tying bamboo rows, riveting these giant logs, and that's it......

In short, this is a very inappropriate way of shipbuilding, and Huang Chengyan thinks that this kind of ship, which is made without material treatment, can collide with his own ship and attack without dispersing.

So after listening to the report several times, Huang Chengyan came out to see what was going on in person this time, but it didn't seem to be unusual, for the enemy's shipbuilding method, the ship built was not usable at all, and now it seems that the size of the enemy's ship is larger than that of the ship, but the ship has complete protection, and now the enemy's ship does not even have a place to paddle.

This is the weirdest place, in the clairvoyant mirror, the enemy's boat looks like an enlarged flat-bottomed boat used to travel in the stream, there is no place for protection at all, this boat is on the Han River, I am afraid that it will be scattered as soon as it rushes!
