Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Lu Yan led the fleet into the Han River.

They passed through Fancheng all the way, and then passed through Xiangyang, so swaggeringly, they drove towards Danshui blatantly.

Gan Ning has been feeling a little flustered lately, and every time he sees towns, ports, etc. along the way, he can't help but gear up for a shot.

It's a pity that Lu Yanming banned their extravagant and wasteful behavior, because the inventory of shells is only one-third of the original.

"Sir, we can actually try Fancheng and Xiangyang." Obviously, Gan Ning still misses these two cities.

But Lu Yan shook his head and said, "Catching Pang Tong is more important than taking down Fancheng and Xiangyang!"

"No matter how powerful Pang Tong is, he can't compare to you, sir!"

Lu Yan glanced at Gan Ning, who was suspected of sycophant, and replied, "It's always troublesome to have him around, and we should deal with it as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."

Gan Ning smacked his mouth twice and sighed: "Okay, I just don't know how long I have to be idle."

Just when Gan Ning was so uncomfortable that he wanted to howl, Su Fei suddenly ran up to them, pointed to the south bank of the Han River and said, "Lu Huqi, Xingba, look over there!"

Lu Yan and Gan Ning looked up and followed the direction of Su Fei's finger, but saw a long line of people on the shore, pointing at their fleet, like a group of people eating melons.

"Jingzhou Army!" Gan Ning and Su Fei stared at each other for a while, then suddenly said in unison.

"Jingzhou Army?" Lu Yan was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked, "What is this Jingzhou Army doing?"

"Maybe they went to reinforce Xiangyang City." Su Fei guessed.

"Sir, why don't you shoot them twice?" Gan Ning asked tentatively.

"Hit your sister! Don't expose our weapons to the Jingzhou army so early?" Lu Yan glared at Gan Ning and said.

"Then we don't care about them?" Gan Ning still asked unwillingly.

"Forget it, let's continue going north, we must block Pang Tong!"

Seeing that Lu Yan had made up his mind, Gan Ning stopped insisting.

Lu Yan's fleet continued to sail northward along the Han River, but he didn't know that Pang Tong, whom he wanted to capture with all his heart, happened to pass him by!
"Military division, they have gone north, and it seems that they have not discovered our identity!" Wen Pin said with lingering fear, wiping off his cold sweat.

Pang Tong did not answer, but ordered: "Order the soldiers to march at a normal speed, and then speed up and rush back to Xiangyang to deploy defenses when Cao Jun's navy is no longer in sight!"

"Here!"

"The whole army obeys orders and maintains a normal marching speed!"

A quarter of an hour later, someone shouted:

"Can't see the fleet!"

"I really can't see it!"

"Listen to the order, advance at full speed, and hurry back to Xiangyang!"

After traveling twenty miles north, a scout suddenly came to report: "Report! Lu Hussars! There are many vacant ships on the shore ahead, at least more than 200 ships!"

When Lu Yan heard that a ship was spotted ahead, he immediately thought of the Jingzhou army who had been watching them, "Not good! Pang Tong ran away by land!"

After Gan Ning heard Lu Yan's shout, he immediately reacted, and immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Oh! I really should have fired a few shots before, maybe it will kill Pang Tong?!"

But now it's too late to turn around and chase after him.

Lu Yan could only sigh, and said, "Forget it, anyway, Jingzhou is such a big place, there is always a chance to catch Pang Tong, a slippery loach."

"Come here, send an order to gather these boats, just in time for other teams to cross the river."

Besides, after Cao Cao and others led the army to the Danshui battlefield, they found that Pang Tong had slipped away.

In desperation, Cao Cao could only order the army to move to Deng County, intending to collect some more ships and prepare to cross the Han River.

Zhang He and Gao Lan were worshiped as pioneers by Cao Cao, and ordered them to lead an army of [-] to Deng County. They planned to take Deng County first, and then build transport ships there to prepare for the army to cross the Han River.

The march at the beginning was fairly smooth, but as they walked, Zhang He and Gao Lan couldn't help but began to scold their mothers in turn.

There is a Tuan River in Deng County, which flows into the Hanshui River through Xinye Huibai River and then leads to the Yangtze River. The shipping within the territory is smooth.But the smooth shipping is not a good thing for Cao Jun, because Zhang He Gaolan and the two of them are leading cavalry troops, not navy troops!

Walk a few miles and meet a small river, and walk a few more miles and meet a river, who can bear this?
The army crossed a river with a width of three to five meters again. Zhang Xi couldn't help but gritted his teeth and asked the locals, "How far are we from Deng County?"

The guide estimated the distance, and then replied respectfully: "Going back to Lord General, it's probably less than seventy miles away."

"It's almost here!" Gao Lan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said, "Speed ​​up, take down Deng County and prepare for the army to cross the river!"

"Boost!"

"Quick, quick! I'm soaked all over, I'm going to die of pain!"

The county seat of Deng County is Fancheng, which is considered an important town across the river from Xiangyang City.

But now there are only 3000 defenders in Fancheng, and the defender is just Deng Zhi, a literati who has just been promoted. It can be seen that the high-level officials in Jingzhou already feel that the defense of Jingbei is hopeless.

Deng Zhi is also a character with both civil and military skills, but she has just been promoted and has not fully demonstrated her abilities.

There are too many rivers in Deng County, which greatly delayed the marching speed of Zhang He, Gao Lan and others. By the time they arrived outside the city, it was almost evening.

Stationing the army outside the city, Zhang Yun ordered people to set up camp and build siege equipment, and at the same time sent people to the city to persuade Deng Zhi to surrender.

Deng Zhi is a native of Xinye County, Yiyang County. He is fair and honest, capable of both literature and martial arts. In his early years, he was predicted to be a general.

In fact, in the late Shu Han Dynasty, Deng Zhi first moved to the former military adviser and former general, led the governor of Yanzhou, was granted the title of Marquis of Wuting of Yangyang, and soon supervised Jiangzhou.In the sixth year of Yanxi, he moved to the general of chariots and cavalry, and later granted a false festival, which can be described as an extremely human minister.

But now Deng Zhi is just a fledgling young man in his 20s.

According to Zhang He and Gao Lan,
Jingzhou and Jiangdong's 30 million coalition forces have retreated, and Pang Tong has fled back to Xiangyang. The entire Jingbei will soon fall into the hands of the Cao family.

There are only three thousand defenders in Fancheng guarded by Deng Zhi, how can they be their opponents?
So while Zhang He and others set up camp and built equipment, they also sent a articulate person to persuade them to surrender.

The one who was lucky enough to receive the task of persuading the surrender was a Sima in the army who had studied for several years and was quite eloquent.

That Sima couldn't be sure of Deng Zhi's true attitude, so he could only walk 120 paces outside the city tremblingly, barely standing outside the range of the bow and arrow.

Holding a big trumpet made of paper, he shouted towards the city: "I am the Sima of the army under the command of General Zhang He Zhang, the general of the gangsters. Please come out and see the guards in the city!"

Although the distance was a bit far, the defenders on the city still heard it.

Hearing Cao Jun shouting, one of the defenders on the top of the city immediately turned and left, and took back a 26-year-old young literati not long after.

Deng Zhi came to the top of the city, looked down at the Sima accompanying the army outside the city, and shouted: "This is the guard, what's the matter with you here?"

When Jian Deng Zhi came, the Sima who accompanied the army tidied up his clothes first, then bowed his hands and said, "General Deng, listen to me."
