Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 162

The thought in Guan Xing's mind unexpectedly coincided with General Cao Jun's.

They all bypassed the main force of the enemy army and led the army to attack the enemy's rear city by surprise.

If Liu Chan's army loses Xicheng, there is still Shangyong who can stick to it and wait for reinforcements from Hanzhong to rescue them.

It doesn't take too long to flow down the Mian River.

However, if Cao Jun loses Fangling, he will completely lose his foothold in the three counties and become a lone army deep in the enemy's hinterland.

This will be a fatal blow to the morale of the army. Even if Xu Huang's army is strict, at most it will not collapse immediately, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Of course, it is also very dangerous to bypass the enemy's main force and rush to the enemy's rear.

After all, before the strategic goal is achieved, he is the lone army behind the enemy.

Once the front line cannot effectively contain the enemy's main force, and I have not been able to capture the enemy's city for the time being... Under the front and back attacks, I will almost certainly lose.

High returns always come with high risks.

But for Liu Chanjun, who must seek a breakthrough point in order to quickly break the deadlock, taking risks is often a helpless move.

This is true of Liu Chan's plan, and so is Guan Xing's proposal.

This is one of the strategic disadvantages that the weak have to face when they try to weaken the strong until they finally defeat the strong.

While we can't afford to lose, we often have to take risks to create opportunities.

Not long after Meng Da's army passed by from the east, Guan Xing's army, with their banners and flags down, boarded the boat from the upper reaches of the blocking water.

Go westward along the current, turn south from the fork of the river, and follow Zhushui to Fangling.

Because they were traveling downstream, even though they set off later than Meng Da's army, they arrived at Fangling at about the same time.

Guan Xing also led 6000 soldiers to the city of Fangling.

"Listen to the defenders in the city!" Guan Xingce stepped forward immediately, and Changlong pointed directly at the top of the city, "Cao's army has been defeated! Xia Houshang, Xu Huang, and Meng Da have all been executed! The Shen family has been moved to Hanzhong by the crown prince. My main force will arrive in a few days. If you don't rush to open the city and surrender, when will it be?"

Guan Xinglian's words were similar to what Meng Da said in Xicheng, but the reaction of the defenders was completely different.

Shen Zhong, who discovered the enemy's situation early, personally led the army to the city, and everyone was mentally prepared.

At this time, the defenders at the top of Fangling City were not prepared at all, and just now when they found the enemy army approaching at the top of the city, they hurriedly closed the city gate.

After hearing Guan Xing's words, the guards at the top of the city panicked, and one of them hurried down the city wall to look for the eunuch.

Deng Fu, the prefect of Fangling, was Meng Da's confidant. Even though he had become the prefect of a county, he still obeyed Meng Da's advice.

He helped Meng Da recruit troops to expand his army in Fangling before, and now he leads five hundred songs to defend the city. Meng Da also trusts him a lot.

It's just that Deng Fu, who manages the daily affairs of the county, is okay, but his military sense and level are much worse than Meng Da.

At this time, I don't know that the soldiers are coming to the city, but they are still listening to music and drinking in the mansion.

Although there is no Meiji performing, there is also a newly bought maid accompanying her.There are no beauties here, but she is young, and this girl's skin is naturally fair, not like the mountain people here, so Mr. Deng couldn't put it down these days.

At this time, she was serving Deng Fu to drink, but she did not use an ordinary cup, but passed it by mouth...

"Um……"

The cold winter is gradually passing, spring is coming, everything is recovering, and it is time for animals to reproduce...

"Emissary! Deng Envoy——!"

"Pfft! Cough, cough..." Deng Fu was startled, he choked on the girl's saliva with a sip of wine, and coughed continuously.

After being sprayed with alcohol and saliva all over, the disheveled girl quickly patted his back for relief.

"It's not good for the envoy! It's not good for the envoy!"

Deng Fu is so angry, I'm not in a bad mood, I was so scared by you, my scalp became hard, and the place that should be hard became soft, and I almost choked, can I get better? !
"Bastard!" After coughing for a while, Deng Fu, who had finally managed to recover, got up angrily and cursed, "Why are you yelling, if you report anything important, you will be beheaded!"

"My lord, the Cao army and the Shen family have been defeated! Generals Xia Houshang, Xu Huang, and Meng Da have all died in battle, and the Shen family has moved to Hanzhong! Now the enemy's vanguard has approached the city, and the prince's army is coming in a few days!"

"What?!" Deng Fu took several steps back, unable to believe his ears.

How can this be?There are elite Cao Jun and general Meng Da's trilogy on the outside, and the Shen family who has dominated the second county of Shangyong in Xicheng for many years, how could they lose?Also lost so fast!

"Your envoy, your envoy? Go to the top of the city to have a look!"

Deng Fu quickly put on his coat, left the warm room and went to the top of the city.

At first glance, he was shocked and turned pale. It turned out that the soldiers of the Shu army were approaching the city. It seemed that there were nearly ten thousand soldiers, while Fangling had only five hundred defenders... What should we do?
Although Deng Fu panicked, he instinctively still couldn't believe that the thing was true, but the troops in front of him were definitely not false, which made him fall into a contradiction.

He forced himself to hold back his panic, stepped forward and shouted: "Who is under the city? Do you want to use tricks to defraud my Fangling?"

It was the first time for Guan Xing to lead an army on his own, and he still had no idea about doing such a big thing.

It's not that I'm afraid that I'm in danger, but that I'm afraid of missing the military plane.

But at this moment, seeing that the guard was so strong in the outside world, and he didn't even have the momentum to ask questions, he immediately calmed down.

After all, he is the son of Guan Yu. After the initial nervousness, Guan Xing quickly entered the state.

"Heh." He sneered, and said disdainfully, "A war together will surely result in heavy casualties. The King of Hanzhong and his prince are benevolent, they cannot bear the death of your soldiers and the people in the city suffer from the war, so they ordered me to persuade you, but you think it's a trick?"

Deng Fu hadn't recovered from the panic, so he didn't answer for a while.

Guan Xingchang pointed and shouted: "The traitors are gone! The crown prince only punishes the evil ones. If you still have a benevolent heart, don't resist in vain. If you can save the people and soldiers in the city, the prince will spare your life with this in mind! Don't be obsessed with ignorance, and mislead others and yourself!"

Afterwards, Guan Xing's verbal offensive was completely different from what Meng Da said.

He didn't threaten with words, didn't say what would happen if the city was destroyed, he still treated the people in the city as his own people, and even the defenders in the city didn't take a stand against them.

What you say is only aimed at the guard Deng Fu. If you still know that the general situation is over, if you still resist, you will ignore the people and soldiers in the city!

The pattern is superior and inferior.

It's just that Deng Fu struggled for a long time, and he didn't believe that Cao Jun, Shen Jia and Meng Da could lose so quickly under such an advantage.

Xu Huang's reputation played a vital role at this time. Deng Fu had heard his name for a long time, and had seen him and his soldiers not long ago, so it was by no means in vain.

"It's a bunch of nonsense!" Deng Fu knew that if he surrendered this time, even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be able to live such a luxurious life again, so he decided to risk his life and trust his intuition.

"General Gongming has been fighting for many years, and now there are heroes here and General Mengda to help him. How can he be easily defeated by you and others! I follow the king of Wei and follow the heavens. I am about to be named a marquis and a general in the future. How can I fall into your evil plan and destroy my future?"

After finishing speaking, Deng Fu waved his hand: "Attack if you want to attack, otherwise don't make noise here and disturb people's good things, shoot arrows!"

Deng Fu's final reaction and decision seemed similar to Shen Zhong's.

However, the surrounding soldiers felt uncomfortable after hearing his words.

You just remember that you were made a marquis and worshiped a general, but you didn't mention us a word...

Everyone promised to save everyone's lives after the city was opened, but if you don't surrender now, isn't this fucking forcing the brothers to die? !
In a few days, the prince's army will arrive, and 500 people will defend the city... guarding you X XXX!
Unlike the [-] Red Star Army in Xicheng, the morale of the soldiers on the top of Fangling City plummeted. They opened their bows and released their arrows as if they were on an errand, not to mention their accuracy.

The stones thrown by a child with a slingshot are more powerful than this.

Seeing the sparse arrow rain in front of him, Guan Xing gradually showed a smile, and he also did not order the attack on the city, but directed the army to set up camp outside the city.

At the same time, scouts were sent out to keep an eye on the upper reaches of Zhushui and the land route leading to Fangling on the west side.

He also ordered the soldiers to shoot letters of persuasion into the city every day. The words in the letters were sincere, and they all put themselves in the shoes of the soldiers and people in the city.

The content of the letter was gradually spread by the literate people in the city, and the words were like knives, and every sentence pierced the heart.

The soldiers and civilians in the city clearly lost their hearts, but one of the Fangling defenders, a strong and strong man, secretly revealed a smile of joy...
