And the first victim was Cao Ren who had been trembling in Fancheng for a month.

"My lords, our army has enough food and supplies, and it is a great opportunity to launch the Northern Expedition and revive the Han Dynasty.

I want to raise [-] troops, go north along the Han River, and fight Cao Renpifu to the death. I don't know what you think? "

Guan Yu decided that ten cows would not be able to pull back, so he just asked his subordinates for their opinions casually.

People like Guan Ping, Liao Hua, and Zhao Lei really know Guan Yu's temper very well.

When they heard that Guan Yu was going to make a northern expedition, they all stood together and said loudly:

"I would like to be the pioneer of the king, and I will spare no effort!"

"Well," Guan Yu nodded in satisfaction, expressing his satisfaction with the cooperation of his subordinates.

He turned his head to look at the corner and said with a smile:

"A Dou, what do you think?"

"Clam?"

Liu Chan was forced to attend the meeting by Guan Yu.

At this moment, Cao Ren's army is weaker than in history. As long as Guan Yu pushes the past as in history, and waits for Yu Jin to come and give away his head, he will win a big victory.

And I just need to sit in Jiangling.

But Guan Yu seems to be very interested in Liu Chan's invincible army,

He was going to tie Liu Chan to his chariot and go to attack Fancheng with him.

Perhaps with the help of Adou's luck, the subsequent battle will be smoother.

Liu Chan was completely unprepared for the Northern Expedition.

On the contrary, Zhuge Qiao and Ju Fu, who were also captured by Guan Yu, were full of fighting spirit.

Hearing Guan Yu ask Liu Chan for his opinion, the two immediately cast their expectant eyes on Liu Chan, waiting for Liu Chan's magical stroke.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Chan could only give a wry smile, and said seriously:

"General Guan is unstoppable, this battle will definitely defeat Cao Ren..."

"it is good!"

Guan Yu said excitedly:

"good very good,

Ping'er, submit the map and ask Adou to tell you the strategy of attacking Xiangyang! "

Guan Ping had been prepared for a long time, he and Zhao Lei carried the table case to Liu Chan, and then spread the map on it, respectfully said:

"Sir, please speak!"

Everyone in Guan Yu's army admired Liu Chan who captured Pang De and Chang Diao and defeated the main force of Cao Ren's navy.

This son has a destiny, and he never takes credit for himself,

He has been in Jiangling for so long as the military supervisor, apart from silently urging Mi Fang to do things in Mi Fang's mansion, he has never interfered with the decisions of Guan Yu's army.

This made these proud veterans very satisfied.

It is said that when Liu Chan left Chengdu, there were only 200 people, and the number of recruits and horses expanded to as many as a thousand during his consecutive victories.

Everyone thought that this son must have a high-level theory, and they all gathered in front of the map, waiting for Liu Chan's explanation.

Liu Chan was so frightened that his calves were weak at the moment.

Where does he know what tactics and strategy?

The Northern Expedition of Guan Yu described in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is very easy. I can't start talking about the magical tactics of flooding the Seventh Army right now, right?

This also needs to be believed.

Otherwise, come to Haotian's upper body again?

Seeing that Liu Chan seemed a little nervous, Zhuge Qiao smiled and said:

"Young general is so bold that I would like to tell you about the story of Fancheng in Xiangyang.

If there are any mistakes or omissions, please forgive me. "

Guan Yu twisted his beard and said:

"Son of Kongming, there must be some high-level opinions, and Qiao Er just says it doesn't matter."

The geographical location of Xiangyang City is very special.

To sum it up in one sentence, mountains are surrounded by water, and water is surrounded by mountains. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

From a general perspective, the northeast of Xiangyang is Tongbai Mountain, the southeast is Dahong Mountain, the northwest is Wudang Mountain, and the southwest is the steep Jingshan Mountain.

The south of Xiangyang City was built close to Xianshan Mountain, and the north was close to Hanshui River. Among the mountains, Hanshui River flowed directly into the Yangtze River, forming an absolute protection for Xiangyang.

From the perspective of the overall structure, the framework of Xiangyang is already much stronger than the Central Plains of Yimapingchuan.

From a small perspective, Xiangyang's position is more reassuring.

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side.

The continuous Han River is its strong arm to protect it, and the vast Xianshan Mountain is its powerful chest to support it.

If you want to attack Xiangyang, it is impossible to go to the Xianshan Mountain in the south (if you have thousands of Beiye under your command, I didn’t say it),

The only chance is to go north and forcefully cross the Han River to attack the fortified city built on a high place.

At that time, Liu Biao relied on the Hanshui defense line to lure Sun Jian to Xianshan to shoot and kill Yuan Shu from Nanyang into Yuan Shu from Huainan, fulfilling Xiangyang's prestige.

If Guan Yu's army wants to attack Xiangyang, it must first go upstream from the south, and first run to the north of Xiangyang to launch an attack.

In this way, they must first solve Cao Ren in Fancheng in Jiangbei——

Otherwise, when they attacked the city, Cao Ren would come from Fancheng and just kill all the dumplings made by Guan Yu's army.

Liu Chan, who is blind to geography, never knew that Xiangyang was so important. After hearing Zhuge Qiao's explanation, he was amazed.

He stared at the map for a long time, but still couldn't find any coups to attack Xiangyang, so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing that Liu Chan was silent, Zhuge Qiao continued to enliven the atmosphere, and told Liu Chan the reason why he had to attack Xiangyang.

To the north of Xiangyang is the Nanyang Basin, which is an important population and agricultural center of the Han Dynasty.

To the south is the Jianghan Plain, which is the economic lifeline of Jingzhou.

These two areas are completely safe to defend,

And Xiangyang is the most core area,

Whoever controls Xiangyang is tantamount to controlling the initiative to fight for the world.

Listening to Zhuge Qiao's impassioned narration, Liu Chan was a little confused for a while,

It is described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that although Sun Quan briefly occupied Xiangyang, he was soon recaptured by Cao Wei.

From then on, Cao Wei could send troops from Cao Wei to invade Wu at will,

Sun Quan originally only needed to concentrate his forces on the Jianghuai line, but was later forced to fight on two fronts.

What do you think he is trying to figure out?

Seeing that everyone was still looking at him, Liu Chan timidly said:

"This Northern Expedition will only be complete if we conquer Xiangyang.

To defeat Xiangyang, Fancheng must be defeated, right? "

Guan Yu nodded and said:

"Of course."

"Phew," Liu Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "In this case, we will besiege Fancheng without attacking.

We will fight whoever comes to save Fancheng, how about that? "

Chapter 53 I, Liu Chan, Want to Take Xiangyang

Liu Chan was only twelve years old, and Guan Yu asked him to make a general strategic plan, which was too much for anyone.

He held back for a long time, but he could only follow the trend of history and tell the way of besieging Cao Ren——

This is also the tactic that Guan Yu's army has discussed for a long time and decided unanimously.

Although there is nothing bright about this move, considering Liu Chan's age, it is already a very good choice.

It is much more reliable than the unconstrained tactics of climbing Xianshan Mountain.

Guan Yu still didn't want to give up on this, and he said persuasively:

"Then Ah Dou thinks that our army is besieging Fancheng, who will Cao Guild send as a general to rescue Fancheng?"

"Yu Jin!" Liu Chan blurted out.

He had already been banned for two months, and all he wanted was to hurry up and experience the scene of flooding the Seventh Army.

Guan Yu had heard rumors before that Liu Chan regarded Yu Jin as an imaginary enemy.

He already had a plan to deal with Yu Jin, so he didn't ask any more questions now, and said solemnly:

"Since this is the case, how dare Adou lead his headquarters as the vanguard to fight against Cao Jun?"

This……

Before Liu Chan had revealed to Guan Yu that Lu Meng might come to sneak attack,

At that time, Guan Yu said nonchalantly that with Mi Fang and Shi Ren sitting in Jiangling and Youjiangkou respectively, Dongwu's breaking the head is nothing more than defeating the city of Jiangling.

When the time comes, I can beat them to the ground when I go back to the teacher, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Hey, I can't tell my second uncle that they were the ones who dragged you down in history, right?

If Liu Chan sits in Jiangling by himself,

After Guan Yu defeated Yu Jin, no matter whether he could defeat Xu Huang in the follow-up, he would never repeat the same mistakes and be defeated again.

But Guan Yu took the initiative to invite himself to march together, seeing Zhuge Qiao and Ju Fu's eyes were quite eager,

I can't push back and hold back at this time, and then make up some will from heaven to shake the morale of the army, right?

Besides, pretending to be a ghost in front of Guan Yu is really a test of courage,

Liu Chan didn't dare to act recklessly like this.

"Go!" Liu Chan gritted his teeth, "The Northern Expedition is a national war, how can I not go?"

"However, I don't want to fight Fancheng with my second uncle,

When my second uncle attacked Cao Ren, I wanted to lead my troops to attack Xiangyang for my second uncle! "

The big tent suddenly became extremely quiet,

Everyone in Guan Yu's army looked at Liu Chan with confusion and panic.

Even Guan Yu wondered for a moment whether he was hallucinating.

What are you doing, you didn't say you were going to surround Fancheng and attack slowly, why did you invite Ying to attack Xiangyang now?

Although Cao Jun suffered heavy losses, the city of Xiangyang is high and deep, how can you defeat it with these moves under your command?

Everyone in Guan Yujun was puzzled, but Zhuge Qiao and Jufu were immediately very happy.

As expected of a son!

The son's strategy just now was nothing new, which made the two slightly disappointed.

Although the old method of encircling Fancheng is safe, it has relatively high requirements for logistics.

For a great talent like Young Master, there should be other ways.

Zhuge Qiao and Jufu were not happy when Liu Chan said that he would lead his headquarters to attack Xiangyang.

This is the familiar taste,

Sure enough, the young master has great talents, and the land of Xiangyang is going to be all in my hands!

If it weren't for Liu Chan's good record before, the account must be full of voices of dissuasion now,
