Mi Han

Chapter 255
Liao Hua, courtesy name Yuanjian, the Liao family has been a wealthy family in Miannan for generations.

When Guan Yu became a former general, Guan Yu appointed Liao Hua as his chief bookkeeper.

Later, because of Mi Yang's outstanding performance, Guan Yu awarded Mi Yang the position of chief bookkeeper, and transferred Liao Hua as the subordinate supervisor of the account.

In history, there is no such person as Zhou Cang. In this life, Liao Hua takes on the responsibility of Zhou Cang.

Liao turned himself into the subordinate supervisor of the general, and was in charge of Guan Yu's personal soldiers. Under his summoning, all the generals currently in Xiangyang have arrived in the barracks outside the city very quickly.

After all the generals arrived, Guan Yu put on his battle armor and came to the big tent.

After Guan Yu arrived, the faces of all the generals showed expressions of admiration, and they all got up and saluted Guan Yu.

Perhaps in the past two years, Mi Yang's military exploits have been the crown of all generals, but in the decades before Mi Yang's sudden emergence, the number one general under Liu Bei's command was only Guan Yu.

Decades of seniority, decades of military exploits, no matter how great military exploits Mi Yang made, it is incomparable to Guan Yu.

What's more, the Battle of Xiangfan, known as Megatron Huaxia, was different from Guan Yu's helpless retreat in history.

After he sent Mi Yang to garrison the public security, he first punished Xu Huang to break through the troubles outside Fancheng, and later when Cao Cao personally led an army of [-] and countless Cao Wei elites went south.

With a force several times lower than Cao Cao's, he stubbornly blocked Cao Cao's army from going south, causing Cao Cao's last battle in his life to end in failure, and he could only die with regret in his arms.

That is Emperor Wu of Wei, who has perfect resourcefulness and experience!

It can be said that in the current Xiangfan World War I, Guan Yu's performance in the overall battle is fully worthy of the word "Megatron Huaxia".

No one will question Guan Yu's ability because of Guan Yu's final result.

And Guan Yu's life is not invincible, he has been defeated in his life.

But every time he is defeated, he can learn from the defeat for his own use, and then grow up quickly until he reaches his current height.

If you compare Mi Yang and Guan Yu, the son-in-law of Weng, although they are both famous generals of the Han Dynasty.

But compared to Mi Yang's talent, Guan Yu's experience of becoming a famous general can inspire the hearts of the generals, and he is more suitable as the idol of most generals.

For all these reasons, even though Guan Yu didn't value etiquette, he repeatedly asked the generals not to be too polite in the army.

However, the generals who had always regarded Guan Yu's orders as standard, still unconsciously stood up and saluted Guan Yu when they saw Guan Yu.

Seeing this scene, Guan Yu was also a little helpless.

But the military situation is urgent, and he can't take care of that much.

He walked quickly to his seat and sat down, then waved his hand for the generals in the tent to sit down. After sitting down, Guan Yu straight to the point explained his purpose of summoning the generals today.

"The autumn harvest in Jingzhou is over, and our army has enough food and supplies. It's time to attack Fancheng again!"

When Guan Yu uttered these sonorous and forceful words, all the generals present showed excitement on their faces.

Everyone in the later generations knows Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, but looking at the time period when Liu Bei was really capable of making a large-scale Northern Expedition, in fact, the Northern Expedition launched by Ji Han was not all led by Zhuge Liang.

For example, Liu Bei personally commanded the Battle of Hanzhong, such as the Battle of Xiangfan led by Guan Yu last year.

No matter in terms of the size, direction or purpose of the two big men, these two big battles can be regarded as the battle of the Northern Expedition.

And these two massive Northern Expeditions all ended in the victory of the Han Dynasty.

So when Guan Yu proposed to launch the Northern Expedition again, the faces of all the generals present were full of excitement.

They looked at Guan Yu with fanatical eyes, and they were all willing to follow the big man's general in front of him to restore the old land for the big man.

After stating his purpose, Guan Yu began to dispatch troops and generals.

Although some generals in Jingzhou are guarding the southern border for the great Han, there are also many generals who stayed in Xiangyang to follow Guan Yu for a long time.

As early as when Liu Bei left Jingzhou, Guan Yu was always thinking about the Northern Expedition.

Who will lead how many soldiers and what tasks should be completed.

How many troops Cao Xiu has on the other side of the Han River, and what preparations he has made to defend against him. In the past year, Guan Yu has already had a plan in mind for all these situations.

Guan Yu advocated kingship when using troops, and his military style is a bit like that of General Wei back then.

Although he seldom uses tricks, he always considers every step clearly, and then implements step by step according to the plan in his heart.

This style of using troops, although sometimes not effective, can gradually compress the enemy's living space and keep oneself in a favorable position.

And once he encounters favorable weather or geographical advantage when he is marching steadily, Guan Yu will keenly seize this rare opportunity to expand his victory rapidly.

Unless there are some accidents, such as the rebellion of Shi Ren and Mi Fang in the original history, Guan Yu's military style is most suitable for large corps operations.

Guan Yu's tone was very dignified, although his speaking speed was not fast, but because he had already considered it in his heart, he arranged his arrangements in a short while.

After Guan Yu gave all the orders, all the generals present got up one after another, then retreated after receiving the order, and hurried to make preparations for the army.

After all the generals left, only Guan Yu and Ma Liang were left in the tent.

Ma Liang was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou by Liu Bei in the previous award after Liu Bei became emperor.

Because there is no military position in the body, and the general Guan Yu of Jingzhou is there, Ma Liang does not participate in the specific leadership of the army on weekdays, and is more responsible for raising food and grass for Guan Yu and planning military plans.

In the big tent, Guan Yu looked at Ma Liangyan and said, "The next step is to work hard for Ji Chang."

Hearing Guan Yu's words, Ma Liang humbly bowed to Guan Yu and said, "It's Liang's duty to raise food and grass for the general, so why bother?"

The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Moreover, the autumn harvest in Jingzhou has just ended, and a lot of harvested rice has not yet entered the warehouse.

Under such circumstances, there is no doubt that the burden on Ma Liang is very heavy, which is why Guan Yu said this to Ma Liang.

In the eyes of the world, Guan Yu's character despises scholar-bureaucrats but values ​​soldiers.

But the scholar-bureaucrats that Guan Yu despised were only those who he felt were trying to gain fame. Guan Yu also respected the scholar-bureaucrats who were worthy of their names and realities.

Just like Zhao Lei, Wang Fu and other scholar-bureaucrats who were willing to die for Guan Yu in history, if Guan Yu did not value them in the past, would they repay Guan Yu with their lives?
In Guan Yu's eyes, as Liu Bei once said to him, Ma Di was too famous to be useful, but Ma Liang was worthy of his name and a scholar-bureaucrat worthy of his attention.

After answering Guan Yu, Ma Liang looked at Guan Yu with concern, and said to Guan Yu in a reminding tone:
"Recently, General Liang Guan's spirit seems to be in decline. I also hope that General Liang will not be overworked when dealing with military affairs."

Guan Yu's headache may not be known to ordinary people, but Ma Liang, currently the second in command of Jingzhou, certainly knows it.

There were even times when Guan Yu covered his head in front of him when discussing matters with him.

But in the face of Ma Liang's concern, Guan Yu smiled and said: "Ji Chang forgot about my bone scraping and healing?"

Hearing Guan Yu mention this matter, Ma Liang showed a look of admiration on his face.

Guan Yu was once shot by the arrows of the bandits, and the arrows pierced through his left arm.

Although the superficial wound healed later, because Guan Yu did not cultivate well at that time, whenever the weather was cloudy and rainy, the bones in Guan Yu's left arm often felt pain.

After the examination, the medical officer said to Guan Yu: "The arrowhead is poisonous, and the poison penetrates into the bone. When the arm is broken, the bone is scraped to remove the poison. Then the ear is removed."

After listening to the medical officer's words, Guan Yu stretched out his arm to order the medical officer to chop him.

At that time, Guan Yu happened to be entertaining the generals. Under the slashing by the medical officer, Guan Yu's left arm was bleeding profusely, filling the plate.

But Guan Yu didn't seem to feel any fear at all. He ate meat and drank wine at the same time, talking and laughing freely.

Ma Liang was also present at the time, and that scene left a deep impression on him, and it was that scene that made Ma Liang feel great admiration for Guan Yu in his heart.

After Guan Yu mentioned this matter to Ma Liang, he said to Ma Liang:
"I was originally mediocre, but I was created by the Lord. When I heard that Cao Ren was destroyed, I wanted to attack Fancheng and open the northward passage for Jingzhou.

On the occasion of the autumn harvest, I can't get what I want.The harvest is over this autumn, and the Central Plains are covered with dust. I am favored by the king, how dare I love my life!
I am an honorable relative, and I am responsible for Fang Yue. If I can't destroy the front for thousands of miles, punish the rebels and restore the old capital, although I have the highest honor and honor, it is not worth it.

As a general of the Han Dynasty, although there is no clear order from the emperor, the time does not wait for me.

I have been fighting all my life, and I have suffered a lot of injuries, and I feel a little uncomfortable. How dare I spare myself?

I have made a decision, and there is no doubt about it. "

Guan Yu brought up the old story again, not to boast of himself.

Guan Yu mentioned this matter to Ma Liang, meaning he wanted to tell Ma Liang that he had been fighting for decades and suffered innumerable traumas.

In Guan Yu's eyes, the arm pain back then was the same as the headache now, and neither could stop his desire to serve the country.

Hearing what Guan Yu said, although Ma Liang was still a little worried, he finally stopped talking.

As Guan Yu said, if he is a person who cherishes his body, is he still the same Guan Yunchang who was so powerful in China?
After reminding Guan Yu, Ma Liang slowly withdrew from the main account and went to arrange everything.

Seeing Ma Liang's leaving back, Guan Yu's eyes were full of deep thought.

The history of setting up counties in Fancheng is very long, and it has existed in the land of Jingzhou for hundreds of years.

The geographical location of Fancheng is very special. When Cao Cao took down Fancheng, he put Xiangyang County under it.

But even though Xiangyang and Fancheng belonged to the same county in the political area set by Cao Cao.

However, Fancheng and Xiangyang are separated by a vast Han River.

Because Fancheng is quite close to Xiangyang, before Guan Yu's army began to cross the Han River, Cao Xiu, the general of Cao Wei who led the troops stationed in Fancheng, had already found out the news.

When Cao Xiu heard the news, he immediately summoned the generals to discuss the military situation.

Facing the fact that Guan Yu's army was about to cross the Han River, all the generals showed fear on their faces after hearing the news.

Over time, the generals in Fancheng already knew about the battle in Xicheng.

At the moment when Cao Ren died in battle, Guan Yu led an army to attack Fancheng. This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for them.

But compared to the fearful look on the faces of most of the generals, among the generals Cao Xiu summoned, some generals remained calm.

For example, there is a general named Sun Li among them.

Sun Li, courtesy name Deda, was born in Rongcheng, Zhuojun County.

When Sun Li was young, he was separated from his mother. At that time, Ma Tai, a native of Lai Township, rescued his mother, and mother and son were reunited. Sun Li donated all his family wealth to Ma Tai as a token of gratitude.

Later, Cao Cao pacified Youzhou and recruited Sun Li to help the Sikong Army.

At that time, Ma Tai was about to face the death penalty because of being implicated in the incident. Sun Li, who was already in power at the time, let Ma Tai escape from prison privately in order to repay his old favor.

He himself was unwilling to abscond, and went to the place where the master Wen Hui surrendered himself.

After Wen Hui found out the whole story, he admired Sun Li's behavior of repaying every kindness, so he told Cao Cao about it. In the end, both Sun Li and Ma Tai were spared the death penalty.

Soon after, Sun Li was promoted to be the prefect of Hejian County, and then moved to be the captain of Xingyang.

At that time, there were hundreds of bandits in the territory of Lu State, relying on their formidable position, they caused harm to the common people, so the court appointed Sun Li as Prime Minister of Lu State.

After Sun Li took office, he immediately rewarded the military officials, and ordered that those who got the head of the thief would be rewarded.

On the other hand, he also imposed a gentle policy on the thieves, recruiting and accepting them, which soon improved the local social order.

Now Sun Li is serving as the prefect of Xiangyang.

After knowing that Guan Yu on the other side was mobilizing a large number of troops, Sun Li immediately got up and suggested to Cao Xiu:
"The thieves have the Han River as their basis, so they must be light-armed and resolute, in order to make a quick victory, so today our army cannot fight them head-on.

Our army should divide our troops to defend Yancheng, so that they cannot enter our army's border deeply, delay as much as possible, and vent their spirit.

Then calmly select thousands of strong cavalry, go south along the Han River, wait for the flow of the Han River to be cut off, and cross the river to cut off their grain roads. This is the best way.

If you order the chiefs of other counties near Fancheng to stick to it by yourself.

It is a common method to burn all the food and materials used by oneself, and then cut off all the crops in the field, so that the invading enemy has nothing to replenish.

If you want to take advantage of the advantage of attacking halfway and take the initiative to attack the bandit army, this is the worst way in my opinion. "

After Sun Li came out to make suggestions, he listed the top, middle and bottom three strategies according to the current situation.

After Cao Xiu listened to Sun Li's suggestion, he decisively adopted Sun Li's best strategy.

In Cao Xiu's view, because of the existence of the Han River, Guan Yu's army's attack on Fancheng was not an expedition, so Sun Li's middle strategy was of little use.

As for the worst strategy, although it is the most appropriate method in terms of the art of war.

However, the Wei army did not have the right to control the water, and the Han River was long, and the Wei army could not predict where the Han army would land. How could they attack halfway?

In contrast, Sun Li's best policy is the most in line with today's approach.

So Cao Xiu immediately asked Sun Li to lead thousands of troops out of Yancheng, and he himself led the rest of the army to garrison Fancheng, waiting for the arrival of Guan Yu's army.

And when Sun Li led thousands of troops out of Yancheng, Guan Yu's army officially began to cross the river!
At the beginning of October in the first year of Zhangwu in the Han Dynasty, General Guan Yu of the Han Dynasty led an army of [-], known as [-], and crossed the river from the Han River to point directly at Fancheng.

After a year, Guan Yu attacked Fancheng again!

　　I'll adjust it myself.

　　This is a process that the author must go through.

　　I hope everyone will continue to support.
