Chapter 727 Guan Yu's Fame

Guan Yu wanted to spread the news of the end of the war to Danyang County in winter, and the subordinates of the new Danyang prefect Zhong Yao suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

"Didn't you say that we will fight again in the spring?"

"I didn't say that we will fight again in the spring, but I also said that I will give you at least a month. Now that you have only taken up your duties for half a month, everything is still undecided. How can you start the war lightly?"

"Fujun, do you want to write back to Guan Zhennan about the difficulties here?"

Liu Bei did not trust the original local administrative team in Danyang County, nor did Zhong Yao, so Liu Bei selected a group of people with grassroots administrative experience for Zhong Yao in Luoyang, and assigned Zhong Yao a reliable administrative team of more than 30 people to serve as the backbone of the new Danyang County government.

All the people who had held important positions of real power in the Danyang County Mansion were all deposed, and replaced by people brought by Zhong Yao.

This lack of martial ethics made the local forces in Danyang County very unhappy. They felt that Liu Bei was unruly, and these northerners were also unruly. They really wanted to have a real PK with them and let them see the martial ethics of the locals in Danyang.

But when they thought that Guan Yu's tens of thousands of troops were on the opposite side of the Yangtze River and would soon go south, they felt that doing so would be tantamount to courting death, so they didn't dare to say more and could only swallow their anger.

Therefore, Zhong Yao's actions to seize power were relatively smooth, and he quickly arranged the officials he brought in to corresponding positions. Everyone started to work, and began to count the military resources that could be mobilized in Danyang County, and prepared to provide them to Guan Yu for use.

For the past half month, they have been busy with this matter, and just got a clue, Guan Yu is coming, which makes Zhong Yao's subordinates very worried.

But Zhong Yao read Guan Yu's notification and shook his head.

"Guan Zhennan means that if the battle can be resolved in winter, it will not affect the spring plowing in the beginning of the year. Spring plowing is the most important thing in a year. If the spring plowing is not done well next year, Danyang County will have to buy grain outside. Such a thing is not what I want to see.

So, go all out to raise the supplies needed for the war now, and try to find out the road from here to Yuqian County as much as possible, don't let General Guan and the army rush to nothing, what happened in Xuzhou before can't happen again. "

"only!"

Although there were some opinions in their hearts, the subordinates still moved honestly, and even the locals who stayed in the county mansion also started to do things honestly-they didn't want to offend Zhong Yao, who was born as a general, or Guan Yu, who held a heavy soldier.

Guan Yu will be stationed here permanently in the future, and it would be extremely stressful for anyone to be stationed here with a general holding a heavy army. If it is not necessary, it is better not to have any conflicts with Guan Yu.

They will take war as the main goal, abandon all other matters, and comprehensively promote war preparations.

Of course, in this season, they are also handy in doing this.

Because in previous years, after the autumn harvest and before the spring plowing, it was the time when the imperial court recruited migrant workers and the peasants went out to work to earn money. It is only natural for the government to rectify a large number of migrant workers for corvee service in the past few months, and everyone is used to it.

It's just that I don't work this year, and I changed to army transportation and logistics.

On November 23rd in the fourth year of Jian'an, Guan Yu led his army across the Yangtze River by boat with Wei Yan as the vanguard, and entered the Chungu County area of ​​​​Danyang County, where the initial army assembly was carried out.

On the 25th, the army's crossing of the river was fully completed. Guan Yu continued to take Wei Yan as the vanguard and led the troops to Wanling County in Danyang County. On the 27th, most of the army arrived in Wanling County to rest. Guan Yu also saw Zhong Yao who was busy.

Compared with Qin Mi, Guan Yu didn't know Zhong Yao very well, and had no contact with him. He only met a few times at public banquets. He knew that he was from an extraordinary family, from the Yingchuan family, and that he was one of Liu Bei's wooing targets, that's all.

But since Liu Bei allowed him to come to this right and wrong place, and assumed the duties of Danyang prefect at this critical moment, Liu Bei believed in his ability very much.

Guan Yu may not believe anything else, but he never doubted Liu Bei's arrangements.

So he reassuredly handed over the logistics affairs of the army to Zhong Yao, and handed over the responsibility of commanding the army to Huang Zhong, the No. 19 army general, and took Wei Yan to explore the way forward.

At the same time, because of the news of the arrival of Guan Yu's army, the Yellow Turban Army also took targeted countermeasures.

Xu He and Sima Ju were quite nervous about Liu Bei sending people like Guan Yu to attack them, so they got in touch with the Shanyue gang who had a good relationship with them, and united with them to destroy roads, bridges, wells and the like.

They wanted to cause as much trouble as possible to the Han army, so as to save them from galloping all the way.

They don't need to care about other opponents, but they can't underestimate the people sent by Liu Bei himself.

It is worth mentioning that although Liu Bei's generals are not as well-known as Liu Bei in terms of fame, they are not without their own fame.

After all, he also performed some important military tasks alone, and made a lot of credits alone, so from about the end of the Zhongping period, the news that Liu Bei had many powerful generals began to spread.

At the beginning, it was spread in Kansai. After the year of Jian'an, the news of Liu Bei's many powerful generals gradually spread in Kanto.

Among them, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, Xia Houyuan and others are more famous. They either followed Liu Bei earlier or made more military exploits.

Guan Yu is considered one of the few most famous generals under Liu Bei's command.

Because he carried out many tasks of the Northern Expedition to the Grassland alone and succeeded, and guarded Liangzhou alone, and then fought in the Battle of Bingzhou and eliminated many enemies, so he has a great reputation.

Especially in the recovery battle of Bingzhou, Guan Yu fought very well, and all kinds of military operations were executed well, so Liu Bei spread the reputation of Guan Yu and Qianzhao respectively, and built momentum for them.

This is a trend created by a professional team. From Kansai to Kanto, from Hebei to the Central Plains, and all the way to the Yangtze River, people have spread the illustrious military exploits of Guan Yu and others.

On the one hand, Liu Bei didn't want to confuse them, on the other hand, he didn't want others to mention his military group, thinking that only Liu Xuande could fight, and everyone else was just a follower.

They were all followers at the beginning, but they grew up very quickly, and many of them were able to be independent, and Guan Yu was the best among them.

Xu He and Sima Ju had heard of Guan Yu's reputation when they were in Xuzhou. They knew that Guan Yu was brilliant in the Battle of Bingzhou and he was a relatively powerful general. Liu Bei sent him here, and there were tens of thousands of troops, which was a great threat to the Yellow Turban Army.

But seeing the nervousness of the Yellow Turban Army, the most famous and powerful Shanyue bandit Shuai Feizhan in Danyang didn't care, thinking that the Yellow Turban Army was worrying unfoundedly.

"This is a mountainous area, and it's our territory. Even if the Han army can fight on the flat ground, they still don't know how to fight when they enter the mountainous area. Our people are everywhere here. Our eyeliner, every move of the Han army can't escape our attention. What else are you afraid of?"

Xu He disagreed with Fei Zhan's idea of ​​underestimating the enemy.

"Guan Yu was the first to follow General Liu Bei, and he was very trusted by Liu Bei. He was also very brave in battle, and he was very resourceful. Back then, the Bingzhou bandits shocked the world, and even once attacked the Yellow River, threatening Luoyang. Finally, it was Guan Yu and another of Liu Bei's subordinates who led the Bingzhou bandits.

The bandits in Bingzhou also live in the mountains just like you. The mountains over there are higher, the mountain roads are more rugged, and the people there are better at fighting. Even so, they were put down. If you say that they don't know how to fight in the mountains, I think you underestimate the enemy. "
