Xiaoguangong

Chapter 174 Encircling Huo Jun
Cao Pi's face is really not small.

In order to help Cao Pi exterminate Huo Jun, Liu Beijun dispatched Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Ding Feng in one go, and the elite of the elite can be said to be here.

Commanding these people was Fu Xun who had played chess with Zhuge Liang for a long time in Jingnan. He covered the scorching sun with a feather fan, and murmured as he walked:

"It's fine that Wuling's fever is severe, but why Fancheng is so hot is really unreasonable."

Guan Ping greeted him with a smile, and saluted Fu Xun and Huang Zhong. Wei Yan and Ding Feng also stepped forward slowly, and saluted Guan Pingping together.

They are all on their own, and there is no need to hide from each other. Guan Ping has not enjoyed such an atmosphere for a long time, and he feels that he is much more cheerful.

"Thank you brothers for your help, Guan Ping is panicked."

It's been a long time since he called himself that, and he almost didn't feel used to it. Ding Feng even laughed and said:
"Recently, I have been using the name of the little general. When the little general said Guan Ping, I thought I was talking about myself."

Huang Zhong happily said:
"I heard that General Yun is very powerful, he has already become Cao Cao's son-in-law.

I was still worried that you would not be able to extricate yourself in the gentle hometown, and you would not want to come back! "

Huang Zhong's joke made everyone laugh out loud, Cai Mao laughed especially loudly, Guan Ping invited everyone into Fancheng, and temporarily rested in the military camp in the city.

Before Xiahou Dun and Le Jin were at odds, Fancheng was specially designated as a military town for Yunshan to garrison.

After Cai Mao became the prefect, he moved all the people here to the vicinity of Deng County, as a gesture to stay away from this place.

Cao Cao's destruction of Fancheng when he went south last year and Xu Huang's battle with bandits nearby did a lot of damage to the vitality of the city. There are only soldiers farming here, not many ordinary people, and the quietness makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, Jiangling is so prosperous, and Jingnan is not bad. This rich and prosperous place in Nanyang was also... all good. Why is it like this now?" Wei Yan said with emotion.

When he was young, he was so excited to visit Fancheng that he couldn't sleep for a long time. Unexpectedly, this place is lifeless now, which really makes people quite uncomfortable.

Cai Hao also looked dignified, and said with emotion:

"Last year, Shijun Liu led the people across the river, and most of the people here left.

Later, Cao Cao was displeased and moved many people to the north, and he didn't know how long it would take for them to recover.

Maybe... 100 years. "

Everyone was silent, and Fu Xun, one of the main participants in welcoming Cao Cao, bowed his head in shame.

But Guan Ping was not afraid.

"It doesn't take 100 years, at most ten years, the Han Dynasty will be revived in our hands.

At that time, we can let the people come back here, and Fancheng will definitely be richer than before. "

·
Cao Pi's ability to lead troops is not very good, but he has a very good eye for soldiers.

After Guan Ping and Cai Mao's soldiers and horses were assembled, Cao Pi looked at the soldiers and saw Wei Yan, Ding Feng and others looking strong and murderous, and couldn't help clapping their hands.

"Good! What a group of mighty men! No wonder General Yun is invincible. It turns out that there are such good men under his command."

Cai Mao smiled and said:
"General Yun heard that the young master wanted to make meritorious service, so he specially transferred all the most elite men under his command.

If there is anything else going on in Nanjun, you have to ask the young master to say something kindly. "

"What can happen?"

"Hey, don't talk about Mr. Cai, it's all trivial matters!"

"How can it be a trivial matter!" Cao Pi said solemnly, "Your Majesty Cai just say it, I'm listening!"

Cai Mao sighed:

"There is a famous person in Jingzhou named Liu Ba, before, um, before, he was ordered by the prime minister to go to Jingnan to recruit all the counties.

Later, it was said that he escaped from Liu Bei's command, and then, and then, he had a slight misunderstanding with General Yun.

In order to confess his feelings, General Yun specially asked him to guard Nanjun. "

Guan Ping smiled bitterly and said:
"It's all trivial things, why bother? Besides, I was taking a risk when I attacked Jiangling. According to the military order, I should also guard Fancheng.

I also want to tell my son that after this battle is over, it is better to resign from the position of the prefect of Nanjun and be an servant in the army stationed in Fancheng. "

Cao Pi snorted, thinking that Liu Ba's surname is Liu, and he is from Jingzhou. Isn't he born to be Liu Bei's subordinate?

He didn't think of a way to force Yunshan away, did he?

Humph, don't care about him, my own business matters.

Thinking of this, he showed a trace of sincerity, patted his chest and said:
"Don't say it, I understand it in my heart.

I have heard about Liu Ba's arrogance and arrogance.

If nothing happens to him in Nanjun, if something happens..."

"My lord, don't talk nonsense, be careful that the walls have ears."

Cao Pi was moved in his heart, he held Guan Ping and Cai Mao's hands, pouted his neck and said:
"The two of you have come to help me Cao Pi to fight the war regardless of personal gains and losses. I will remember this kindness. In the future, no matter what you have, you will come to me. Whoever dares to say that you are not right, go through my door first!"

Everyone was excited, and Ma Di also took the map with a smile, and began to explain the current situation to everyone.

It is said that Ma Di is extremely eloquent. He can clearly tell how many people are on his side where to deploy, who is there, how much ordnance, how much rations, etc. It is very easy to lead this person to fight. How to fight, other marching, deployment, and logistics can all be handled by this person.

Cao Pi admired Ma Di very much, listening to Ma Di's eloquence, it was obvious that stars were almost bursting out of his eyes.

Cao Pi once said before that he believed that Ma Di had the talent of a famous general and a powerful weapon. If Ma Di could be given the opportunity to lead the army, no one in the world could stop Ma Di's heroic soldiers—this is why Ma Di gave Cao Pi so much before. The bad idea Cao Pi paid more attention to his reasons.

"Huo Jun has few soldiers, the strongest under him are the more than [-] generals who have been following him, and the rest are far from elite soldiers.

They moved along the Fei River, and because General Yu had no water army, he was unable to wipe them out completely.

Now that General Yun and Lord Cai's navy have arrived, they can only go ashore as long as they chase along the Fei River.

I have received a letter from Chang Junshi here. He seems to have little trust in the general in his words, saying that Huo Jun is very likely to attack Dacheng. "

puff.

Cai Hao almost laughed out loud.

"By the way, who is Chang Diao?" He asked intentionally.

Cao Pi explained embarrassingly:
"My father issued the "Seeking Talents Order" before, saying that after that, only talents will be promoted, regardless of background.

Before this, Chang Diao was just the head of the personal guard under Uncle Zixiao's account. Because he was good at arranging school affairs, he was highly valued by his uncle, and he was cited as a confidant and recommended to my father.

After my father saw it, he wanted to buy a horse bone with a thousand gold, confiscated it as a sacrificial wine for the army teacher, and asked him to visit the south to investigate the affairs of Jingzhou and arrange school affairs.

This time to hunt for thieves, my father also took him as the captain and guard, and asked me to inform him of everything. "

School affairs.

Both Guan Ping and Cai Mao can understand this.

Cao Cao's previous defeat was because he fought in the dark, so he was dissatisfied and vigorously organized school affairs.

But Chang Diao's military situation is too inaccurate.

Huo Jun's fighting ideas are all in accordance with Guan Ping and Cai Mao's arrangements, of course they understand Huo Jun's movements.

Huo Jun's troops were insufficient, and he had to transfer the people to disperse and hide, so he didn't dare to attack any fortified city.I heard from Ma Di that before Cao Pi was worried that Chang Diao was here to spy on him, so he was very nervous and couldn't wait to kill him with his troops.

There seems to be no need to kill such a person.

"We led a total of [-] troops, divided into two groups, one way to walk through the water, and the other way to go ashore to search.

Force him to go north, General Yu sticks to Wancheng and Bowang, Huo Jun is hard to fly, we can slowly destroy it, as long as half a year, as little as one month, Huo Jun will definitely surrender. "

Cao Pi nodded secretly, then looked at Ma Su again.

He didn't dare to tell Yunshan that he wanted to kill Chang Diao, but Ma Su knew it well, and continued to speak loudly:
"I guess Huo Jun must be quite anxious when he is besieged, and he doesn't know where to hide.

So, in the name of my son, I have asked Chang Junshi to move first and search for this person.

I heard that Chang Junshi has many eyes and ears, and we can wait for his news, so naturally we will get twice the result with half the effort. "

If Chang Diao's news is really accurate, then naturally this person can't stay, and must be eliminated as soon as possible.

But he was able to provide news that Huo Jun was going to attack Jiancheng, which is enough to show that this person's intelligence is completely messed up, and Guan Ping and Cai Mao are also very relieved.

Liu Beijun's goal in this battle is to use the chaos to expand his power to the north of the Yangtze River. If Huo Jun is not wiped out, he will have to keep his army searching for a day.

As we all know, once a thing is proven effective and can bring certain benefits to users, it will not be easy to change after a long time when everyone gets used to it.

There will be a steady stream of "water thieves" and "bandits" in the north of Nanyang in the future. Guan Ping can move to this place and continue to gain absolute authority over this land.

When Liu Bei's army goes out in the future, Cao Cao will be shocked to find that their first stop is not to choose to fight Xiangyang together, but to directly choose to attack Wancheng!

Of course, in order to continue to maintain Yunshan's useful status, Zhuge Liang also made some small arrangements in Jiangling.

It depends on the outcome of this battle.
