Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 404 Boarding the boat and crossing the river

All the grain, grass and baggage were transported, and the Jingzhou Army, which was ready to go, finally boarded the warship for the Northern Expedition again.

There were many veterans in the crowd who had participated in the last battle of Jingzhou, but their mentality this time was completely different.

Not only because there is sufficient food and grass, the armor and soldiers are all ready, but the warships are also replaced by newly built ships.

This is especially because in the last battle of Jingzhou, Jiangling was almost taken over. General Guan and the prince were still able to lead them to fight a bloody path. In the end, they even turned defeat into victory and forced Jiangdong to cede territory and pay compensation...

Even if the opponent this time is Cao Ren of the Northern Wei Dynasty, what should we fear?

"But after all, that is the Wei State led by Cao Wei's general Cao Ren."

"Yes, Cao's army is not weak in infantry combat, but its cavalry is stronger... I actually secretly wrote a suicide note a few days ago and asked someone to send it home with my salary."

Some soldiers waiting in line to board the ship murmured in a low voice, with worries evident in their expressions.

"Bah." A veteran walking in the front snorted disdainfully.

The two people's faces suddenly lost their composure: "What qualifications do you have to laugh at us? You usually like to cheat and show off!"

Those two people really didn't know many of these things, and it was like listening to a story at this time.

"Hey." The veteran was not impatient, he just turned around and smiled with a slight contempt, "I fed General Guan's horses and blocked General Zhao Lei's arrows in Jiangling. Although I am not good at literature and military, I am too old. Can’t climb up…”

They were just angry because of the old man's attitude, but they didn't really care about Cao Wei. When they heard this, they immediately became curious.

"That's right, you don't dare to be lazy when General Guan personally practices battle formations. You rely on your qualifications every day to get paid... It's great to know a few more people."

"Ah? What kind of general was defeated?" The two recruits were stunned after hearing this.

"Then how did he leave more than 3,000 people to run to Fancheng? Where was the army he brought with him?"

The voices of the anxious two people unconsciously became louder, and some soldiers around them also began to look in this direction, but a few of them were too emotional to notice.

The two new recruits looked at each other. What a shame. They hadn't thought about it and no one had told them about it.

"If he can really defeat General Guan, why is it that after defeating the enemy twice, General Guan is still fighting fiercely in Jingbei, while Le Jin was quietly transferred to Hefei?"

The old soldier was also very angry when he heard this: "Great military exploits? Hehe, one of his subordinates has been defeated, and the people of Wei can just put money on their faces. Why are you making fun of him?"

"You want to say that the Seventh Army was flooded? But it wasn't him who was overwhelmed? In the end, he didn't defend Fancheng. This can't be considered a defeat." One person was still unconvinced.

At this point, the veteran suddenly turned cold and said calmly: "But I'm not afraid of Cao Ren and I'll wet my pants."

"It was Le Jin who guarded Xiangyang back then, not Lu Chang." The veteran gradually became serious, "People in the north said that Le Jin had retreated from Guan Yu when he was guarding Xiangyang, and then joined forces with Na Wenpin to defeat Guan Yu in Xunkou...

"Who the hell pissed his pants?!"

"Uh……"

"General Guan doesn't bother to show off his bravery all day long." The veteran was obviously a little angry, "But you and other juniors should not be kept in the dark."

"Ah this..."

"Hey, what a loud tone, 'I'm being raped by Cao Ren'? Then who are you?" The other person laughed angrily, "I have led the army for many years and made great achievements in battle, but I want to be criticized by a veteran like you. Tao four.”

"I really didn't know there were these past events...Brother Zhang, can you tell me more about it?" In the eyes of the two of them, the wrinkles on the veteran's face seemed much more powerful, and the "veteran scoundrel" directly turned into "Old Zhang" Brother".

"Hmph, then Le Jin was transferred to defend Hefei. Since he was so brave, why didn't he go out to fight like Zhang Liao? Did he do nothing after that?"

"Yes, why is this?" "His elite troops have been wiped out by General Guan in northern Jingbei!"

"...Huh?" The two of them stared wide-eyed with disbelief on their faces. This was different from what they had heard from outside.

"Hmph! How did Cao Ren hide in Fancheng with only 3,000 men? Do you understand this time?" The veteran spat viciously, "It was just a single defeat, and the northern scholars just lied about it. They were afraid of him. egg!"

"..."

"Well said! I'm so scared of him!"

"Okay! Let's follow General Guan and kill him again until he is defeated!"

"oh--!"

Before the two men could speak, the soldiers watching on the side burst into cheers.

The veteran's old "gossip" unexpectedly boosted the morale of the soldiers on the ship.

Just seeing that he had unknowingly become the focus of everyone and made such a big fuss, the veteran had a bitter look on his face - he was under Fu Wei, and that man also had a bad temper...

"These bastards!" Sure enough, Fu Wei, who was talking to several generals in the distance, suddenly saw this kind of chaos happening on the ship under his command, and his face immediately lost its composure.

Seeing him go away cursing, Zhao Lei smiled from behind and said, "That's almost it. High morale is not a bad thing."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and chuckled, obviously not taking it seriously. When a large army is fighting, it is normal for small situations like this to happen occasionally.

It's not like anyone's subordinates can be like the prince's Red Star Army, who are made of iron and bronze. The old man used his voice to strengthen himself before and after the battle, which is really unusual.

only……

"I'm afraid these people won't be able to carry out father's plan." Guan Ping said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, I didn't plan to send them up in the first place." Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "How can you catch a big fish if you don't put a big bait?"

Guan Ping's smile froze, and he gradually lowered his head. Finally he couldn't help but ask: "Father, can't you just sit back and catch the big fish later..."

"Hehehe, my son is interested, but..." Guan Yu's squinted eyes slightly opened, "If I don't show up, Cao Zixiao will not feel at ease."

"..." Guan Ping didn't try to persuade him any more, he raised his head, and just clenched the horse in his hand with firm eyes.

There are some words that don’t need to be said anymore, whether it’s Liu Bei who must lead the expedition himself, Guan Yu who has made such a plan, or Zhang Fei who knows that he is feigning an attack but still tackles the problem at all costs.

This battle is a turning point for the three brothers to realize their dreams and vows. No matter what, they cannot sit safely at the back.

Liu Chan understood, and Guan Ping naturally understood at this time.

"Let's go. Although there is no power of wind and waves this time, we have the help of the 'Big Dipper Moon'." Guan Yu picked up the treasured sword that he couldn't put down and boarded the ship first. "You and I, father and son, will go to the battlefield together to kill the bandits!"

"Yes!"

The warships were fully loaded one after another and sailed toward the north of the Yangtze River.

Xiangfan and Xiangfan faced each other across the river. Naturally, everyone in Cao Wei saw such a big movement by the Han army.

"Ha...well come, well come." After receiving the news, Cao Ren's eyes were bloodshot and he murmured with relief.
