Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 539

Not long after the envoy left the big tent, Guan Yu told Liao Hua, "Yuan Jian, immediately send someone to Changsha with our military order, and Gan Ning to bring his warships and troops to Fancheng to help."

Liao Hua was startled when he heard this, and asked in puzzlement, "Didn't the general say that Jiangdong needs to be on guard, and now that all the troops in Changsha have been withdrawn, wouldn't it be true if there is any change?"

"One moment, another moment. Lu Meng has the heart of a jackal, so of course he must be vigilant, but Lu Xun is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and Jiang Xia's soldiers are not worried for the time being." Guan Yu explained.

"Do you want to keep some people around?" Liao Hua advised again.

Guan Yu frowned and said: "Yu Jin is already a turtle in an urn and a fish in a net. We must go all out to fight. Fancheng will be shaken if the support army is destroyed. It will be much easier to collect Xiang and Fan by then. Therefore, the navy in Changsha All must arrive.

As for your worry about Jiangdong's invasion, as long as Jiangling is in our hands, it doesn't matter if we lose Changsha. Don't forget that Master Xu is still in Jiangling, the police still have three thousand navy troops, and there are beacon towers along the river to send messages. Besides, Ziyu will not stand idly by . "

"It turns out that the general has already made a plan, but the last general's thinking is superficial, so I will arrange it now." Liao Hua clasped his fists and said.

"Go." Guan Yu nodded in response, and then began to arrange follow-up operations.

Gan Ning did not hesitate to receive Guan Yu's transfer order, and took away [-] Changsha sailors including the Jinfan Battalion. When passing by the police, he asked Su Fei to take care of the Dongting waters.

The big move of the Changsha navy did not hide the Jiangdong scouts in the Yangtze River waters.

Wu Qi, the supervisor of the army, said to Lu Xun, "Bo Yan is really clever. Gan Ning almost took away all the defenders in Changsha. Can we send a message to our cousin, and then we can send troops to attack Jingzhou?"

"We have to wait a little longer. The more stalemate Fancheng fought, the more Guan Yu couldn't get away and go back to defend. Although it was easy for us to block the Dongting Shuikou, there are many defenders left in Jiangling, and the difficulty of a strong attack is still not small. Wait. After a while, maybe Guan Yu will draw troops." Lu Xun replied with a frown.

Wu Qi then asked: "Although Bo Yan is the acting governor, I will still report the current situation in Jingzhou to my cousin. You don't mind, do you?"

Lu Xun cupped his hands and replied, "Supervisor, please."

Because Lu Xun's identity is very sensitive, in order to control him, Sun Quan sent his cousin Wu Qi as the supervisor of the army when Lu Xun was acting as the governor. Wu Qi is the second son of Sun Quan's uncle Wu Jing.

Wu Qi's ability is relatively mediocre, and Lu Xun is used to Sun Quan's balance technique, so he can handle it with ease.

Starting from the northward march of the Ganning navy, the land of Jingxiang started to rain one after another. Before he could rest at the camp in Fancheng, Guan Yu arranged for him to go upstream to build a cofferdam.

Not long after Gan Ning took refuge with Liu Bei, he was assigned to Lantian. During his stay in Jingnan, he made cofferdams many times, mainly to dredge the river and allow smooth sailing between various places.

The cofferdam task arranged by Guan Yu is directly in line with Gan Ning's major.

The autumn rain lasted for more than ten days. Gan Ning completed the cofferdam upstream as planned, and waited for Guan Yu to order to open the gates to release the water.

The news of Guan Yu's increase in troops was not concealed too much, because there were one or two hundred more warships on the Han River. Taking advantage of the heavy rain, Guan Ping's defense was lax, and sent people to send letters into Fancheng.

After reading the letter, Cao Ren put it on the table, and snorted coldly at everyone: "It seems that Guan Yu attaches great importance to Wen Ze, otherwise he would not increase his troops so soon, but this guy actually came to command me, let us attack inside and outside after the rain stops, hum"

"After all, General Yu holds Wei Wang's fake festival axe." Niu Jin, the general of the Ministry, bowed to the fire.

"Hmph, can his fake festival axe kill me? Just kidding." Cao Ren's eyes froze.

"Uh"

Man Chong originally wanted Cao Ren to remind Yu Jin that the autumn waters were flooding and not to garrison troops in low-lying areas, but seeing that Cao Ren was angry, he dared not say much. Xu Huang, Zhao Yan and others did not like Jin, so they kept silent.

Yu Jin was extremely strict and even treated harshly. Cao Cao discovered this trait in him and often appointed him as the guard to supervise the illegal behavior of other troops. Yu Jin did a good job.

Cao Cao was in danger when he was conquering Zhangxiu in Wancheng. When he fled from the desert, the officers and soldiers of the battalions were in chaos. Afterwards, not only was he not convicted, but he was rewarded.

The internal law enforcement department is easy to attract hatred. As Yu Jin's official position gets higher and higher, he offends more and more people in the army, and gradually becomes a lone minister whom Cao Cao likes but others hate.

Yu Jin was the only military general in the Cao camp who held a fake Jieyue, not even Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren and other great clan generals.

The festival is a talisman festival, symbolizing the rights of the king (vassal king).

The false festival is to lend the festival to the courtiers to perform temporary tasks, which serves as a deterrent to one party. It is also a supplement to a right. When two people have the same official position, the right to speak is in the hands of the party holding the festival. This stanza will be returned after the temporary task completes.

Yue is an axe, which is a kind of torture tool, which is exclusive to the king.

In addition to being able to take the place of the king, the false festival yue has the right to beheaded the soldiers in the army without asking for instructions or reporting, and the holder of the fake festival yue can also kill those who hold the festival. general.

(Example: Lantian, as the shepherd of Jiaozhou, had to manage Lingling and Guiyang, which belonged to Jingzhou, so the knot in his hand played a blessing role, but Guan Yu wanted to intervene forcefully, and Lantian had to obey Guan Yu's orders.)
The reason why Cao Ren is not afraid of the forbidden fake Yue Yue is because of Cao Cao's unique clan commander system. Xia Houyuan is the commander of the western theater, Xiahou Dun is the commander of the eastern theater, and Cao Ren is the commander of the southern theater. All generals other than the commanders can only be generals.

After Zhang Liao defeated Sun Quan in Xiaoyaojin, Cao Cao named him General Zhengdong. Later, Xiahou Dun commanded the 26th Army including Zhang Liao in the Huainan area as General Fubo.

Because Xiahou Dun stayed in Xudu for a long time, his official position in the army has always been General Fubo, but his administrative position is Henan Yin (mayor of the capital). In Jian'an 22, he served as the commander of the eastern theater. He chose his favorite lonely minister, Yu Jin.

Yu Jin did not have an administrative position, and his military position was only General Zuo, so he could not suppress the dignitaries in Xudu. Cao Cao wanted him to have absolute authority in Xudu, so he gave him the highest treatment, a fake Jieyue, but his fake Jieyue would not be able to leave Xudu used.

None of the generals in Fancheng stood up to speak for Yu Jin, which caused Yu Jin to lose the opportunity to move out of Lukouchuan.

At the end of August, more than ten days of heavy rain had subsided, and the Han River had surged to the shore.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Guan Yu sent Gan Ning to dig a weir upstream to release water.

In an instant, the river water with silt was uncontrollable like a wild beast, like countless wild horses galloping across the field.
