Moreover, Fancheng has been very dilapidated after several previous battles.

It takes a lot of effort to station troops here, build cities, and place barracks.

In order to prevent Guan Yu from wreaking havoc, Cao Wei needs at least 5 horses to be stationed here all the year round.

Adding the Guanzhong garrison, the northern garrison, and the eastern garrison, Cao Wei must at least ensure that the mobile force of 30 will not be engaged in production for most of the year.

This may not be able to hold...

After all, if it really doesn't work, Guan Yu still has the trick of breaking the embankment and attacking with water.

As the main tributary of the Yangtze River, Hanshu was flooded like last year. Guan Yu's army came to attack with big boats. At this moment, there was no Sun Quan to support him from behind.

So Jia Xu urged Cao Pi to recognize the reality,

Xiangyang can't take it back for the time being. Instead of competing in this kind of place, it's better to think about how to defend in the future.

It is impossible to exhaust all the essence and main force of Cao Wei here.

Anyway, if Guan Yu wants to make a northern expedition, it is better to abandon the dilapidated Fancheng and shrink the defense line to Xinye in the north.

Xinye has a strong city wall and two tributaries, Bishui and Bishui, which are not suitable for launching water attacks as barriers. A small number of soldiers can be placed in the city to reduce the pressure on food and logistics.

As soon as Guan Yu came to attack, Xinye stood firm temporarily, and the troops in Wancheng, the base camp, dispatched cavalry to the south to support.

Although Guan Yu has waterways to the north, they are still not as big as the Han River, and most of the food and soldiers have to pass through the land.

In this way, Guan Yu's supply line is long, and Wei Jun's supply line is short, so the advantage is very obvious.

Moreover, Jingzhou has always been short of horses. It is difficult for Guan Yu's army to reach the north bank to fight against Cao Wei's heavy cavalry on the plain.

Guan Yu's attack on Xinye was unfavorable, and when he retreated, it was a good show for Cao Wei's heavy cavalry to go out to chase and kill the fleeing enemy.

(This is not a tactic that the author came up with. In history, Cao Wei used this tactic in the direction of Hefei.

You may read the book and find that Hefei has been repeatedly surrounded by Soochow. Every time Cao Wei sent a group of people from thousands of miles to rescue the siege, it was because Cao Wei felt that it was not worthwhile to station troops on the border. It would be better to build a strong city to guard the enemy. Hurry up and support, as long as the supply line is short, the one who suffers will be the attacking party)

Cao Pi was very unwilling to lose such a large piece of land just after he ascended the throne.

Although what Jia Xu said was right, the stubborn Cao Pi still believed that as a master of the Ming Dynasty, he must make some contributions to expand the territory.

Jia Xu had been prepared for a long time. He confided in Cao Cao the plan he had prepared before his death, and presented it in front of Cao Pi.

"While Wu and Shu are constantly fighting, the two countries are like lips and teeth, and the world knows it.

Now that Shu is strong and Wu is weak, and our army has defeated Shangyong, and then pretends to send troops to attack Xiangyang, the Kingdom of Shu will think that our army is going to fight for Xiangyang, and they will be the soldiers of the whole country to deal with it, and even launch the Northern Expedition to compete with me. "

"Eastern Wu will fight our country and the Shu country, and he will be unprepared. He wants to make me fight to the death for a few years, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"After our army defeated Shangyong, we pretended to attack Xiangyang and lured the entire Shu army to mobilize. The spring plowing will inevitably be unsustainable.

At that time, our army will use Xinye as the base to guard, and then let Wen Lie order the first army to take it by surprise, not to attack Ruxu, but to go straight to Shiting with stones and trailers.

Sun Quan was light and unprepared. Our army broke through Shiting and went straight to Wankou. Great things can happen! "

Chapter 225 It's all about the picture (addition 9/12 for Luoye)

What fights is the comprehensive strength of the two countries,

The comprehensive strength is also reflected in various issues.

Now among the three kingdoms in the world, Sun Quan's Soochow is the weakest.

They were almost devastated last winter, the troops were weakened, and there were many conflicts between North Korea and China.

Sun Quan's prestige has been dealt a huge blow,

If Cao Wei suddenly sent troops south at this time and broke through the Yangtze River defense line in one fell swoop, the foundation of Sun Quan's rule would collapse instantly.

At that time, the entire Han army concentrated its energies in the direction of Hanzhong and Xiangyang, and had no time to look east.

Under Cao Wei's huge military strength, if Sun Quan didn't want to die, he could only surrender.

Before the Battle of Chibi that year, many of Sun Quan's gangsters had flirted with Cao Jun (including but not limited to Sun Ben and Sun Fu).

If Cao Jun can successfully break through Wankou, the entire Jiangdong will be shaken.

And the most wonderful thing is that because Sun Quan has not been able to win Hefei, Cao Wei's military front has always been not far from his capital Jianye, and the two sides have always only confronted each other in the direction of Ruxu.

However, the mountainous barriers between the several plains in the south of the Yangtze River make it difficult to support each other from land.

Jia Xu believes that as long as the Wei army's strange peaks stand out and they successfully land in the south of the Yangtze River, those aristocratic families will welcome the king's teacher with their food.

At that time, Liu Bei's entire army was either in Hanzhong, or was fighting for the three eastern counties, and was simply unable to support the allies who were attacked.

To achieve this, it shouldn't be a big problem for Cao Weiduo to persist for a few years.

Now, Jia Xu's first few steps are relatively successful,

Although Wenpin sent a wave, it did not cause too much damage to Wei Jun as a whole.

Now that Guan Yu and Liu Chan are aggressively stationing troops for the Northern Expedition, Liu Bei should also start in Guanzhong.

Sun Quan was still sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fighting with the mentality of watching the excitement, completely unaware that this vicious steel knife had been secretly raised, and was about to slash at his neck.

Liu Chanjun judged from top to bottom that Wei Jun's defenders, Chang Diao and Niu Jin, had no courage to abandon Fancheng in Jiangbei.

They crossed the river at night, and originally wanted to complete the siege of Fancheng by night, but they never thought that Huang Zhong and Jufu would pull up their stances, only to find that Fancheng was empty.

The Wei army retreated early, leaving only an empty city,

Niu Jin originally suggested to set a fire, but Chang Diao was worried that Liu Chan would be dissatisfied, so he said seriously:

"I am a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and I am not a bandit under Zang Ba's subordinates? How can I do this kind of murder and arson?"

Liu Chan, who accepted the city, was stunned? He wondered why this group of Wei troops were so powerful.

In the past, my enemies would go crazy and hallucinate, but now it seems that luck is not on my side.

Doesn't Fazheng know that Chang Diao is Guan Ping's undercover agent?

He looked at the empty Fancheng? He said solemnly:

"Although this Chang Diao can't be said to be brilliant, but he was captured twice by the prince? He can be regarded as cautious and able to decide big things.

After all, I waited to underestimate him. "

Wei Jun did not resist in Fancheng? Liu Chan's scout came to report? Said that Wei Jun's entire army fled to Xinye at high speed.

This is running too fast...

Before crossing the river, Liu Chan and others made serious arrangements for who would encircle, who would attack, who would block the rescue, and who would manage the logistics.

Unexpectedly, there will be no war in Jiangbei, but a group of panic-stricken Xiangyang people will be resettled.

It's really dumbfounding.

But? This is also a good thing? At least it can reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties,

Now Liu Chan can calmly reconcile with Guan Yu, and completely close the door to the Wei army in the three eastern counties.

There is not much time left for Wei Jun.

Seeing that Liu Chan was in a good mood, Fazheng took the initiative to approach him, and said with a shy smile:

"My son? The so-called 'Soldiers who subdue others without fighting are the ones who are good."

This time, our army has been marching forward all the way? Heavenly soldiers are everywhere, Wenpin is captured, and often carved at night..."

"Me? Let me say Mr. Ling, please tell me if you have anything to say?

This... I don't understand these things. "

Fazhenghan smiled dryly and coughed, saying:

"Meng Da Mencius and his ministers... huh? Be nice to your ministers,

This time, Meng Da didn't know the destiny, so he caused chaos, and he really brought his own death.

But now the main force of the Wei army is still there, if Mencius can be persuaded to return from the wrong way and fight back,

Isn't it, isn't it...hehe...please let the son decide. "

Fazheng and Mengda are best friends.

When the world was in turmoil, the two fled from Fufeng to Yizhou along the Shu Road.

At that time, the Shu road was not as smooth as the current road, and there was a mixed crowd of fleeing people, and some people came to snatch Fazheng's goods when they saw money (Fazheng's family still had some money);

Some people were simply so hungry that they even wanted to kill Fazheng.

If it weren't for Meng Da Kong's powerful force, drawing his sword to guard Fazheng, Fazheng would have been captured and eaten raw by a group of people.

At that time, wild animals in the Qinling Mountains were very active.

There are giant pandas in Qinling Mountains, tigers in Qinling Mountains, and packs of wild wolves. None of these Fazhengs can defeat them.

The only snub-nosed monkey that can be bullied can't catch it on the tree.

Meng Da catches rabbits to pick wild fruits during the day, and watches the bonfire to drive away wild animals at night.

"Good brother, I will have Fazheng to eat a bite of food in the future, no, even if I can't eat in the future, I will definitely let my brother eat first."

Back then, the young Fazheng was holding a scorched rabbit leg, gobbling it up and talking silently with tears in his eyes.

Meng Da waved his hands heartily, and said wearily:

"Small things, are small things,

We grew up together, why separate each other.

If I make a mistake in the future, you can still recognize me as a brother. "

"I know, of course I know,

Mencius will always be my Fazheng brother! "

It was said that the two supported each other, but in fact it was Meng Da who carried Fa Zhengsheng to Yizhou.

Fazheng is frivolous and mean, and he will take revenge, but he also knows...

Meng Da wanted to repay him with Yongquan for his great kindness.

Although Meng Da's rebellion is a capital offense, Fazheng still has to bite the bullet and plead with Liu Chan to plead guilty for him.

Even if I don't want the official position of Shang Shuling, I must protect Meng Da comprehensively.

Liu Chan was puzzled by Meng Da's behavior.

After much deliberation, he decided to give Meng Da a chance to explain.

He nodded and solemnly said:

"If Meng Da is willing to do anything anyway, and help us attack and kill the rebels in the three counties, the past will not be the fault of the past.

I trouble you to write a letter to Meng Da. "

·

The morale of Guan Yu's army was high after learning that Liu Chan had crossed the river.

When the pioneer Liu Feng heard that Liu Chan was coming, he yelled even more. He had to hurry up and kill Wei Jun before Liu Chan arrived.

Guan Yu pondered for a long time, and felt that since Wei Jun had given up Fancheng and retreated to Xinye, it seemed that he would not come to support him for a while.

If so, what are you afraid of?

Guan Yu, with silver hair all over his head, waved his hand chicly, and ordered his [-] troops to pull out of the camp and fight together, and launched a fierce attack on the Wei army stationed in Wudang.

Meng Da originally stated that he would stick to the Wudang defense line and not let Guan Yu get any closer.

But seeing Guan Yu's [-] troops and Liu Feng screaming in front, Meng Da ran back to Shangyong without looking back.

"You two generals, the situation has changed, we can't fight any more!"

Xia Houshang: ...

Xu Huang: ...

Meng Da plausibly said that the situation has changed dramatically.

Before that, there was only Guan Yu's army, but now that Liu Chan's reinforcements had arrived, even if the Wei army could hold off Guan Yu, it would not be able to stop the enemy troops that kept coming from all sides.

Now that Wenpin has been captured, Shangyong Weijun has no possibility of escaping by water.
