Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: The New Biography of Guan Ping

The first battle of the Battle of Jingzhou started in Fancheng.
Liu Bei had [-] cavalry on his side, and all the main force of cavalry on Jingzhou's side went northward, which also showed Liu Biao's determination.

As for Cao Cao, after capturing Nanyang County in Jingzhou, he set up a branch, Zhangling County, with Zhao Yan as the prefect of Zhangling and the governor of Zhangling, and the generals Zhang Liao, Yu Jin, Zhang He, Zhu Ling, Li Dian, Feng Kai, The road recruited seven troops, more than [-] people in total, as the successor army; Zhao Wei, originally a famous scholar in Yingchuan, had a close friendship with Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, and was a member of Sikong Mansion. He was calm and deeply trusted by Cao Cao.

And Cao Cao himself led Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Le Jin, Xu Huang and others to lead more than [-] troops to fight against Liu Bei's [-] troops. Sent to the front line of Fancheng.

For Cao Cao, it was originally an extremely swift action, but because of the change of Guan Ping, the battle of Jingzhou was brought forward. Liu Biao did not die of illness, and he knew that it would have no good end in Cao Cao's hands, so he resisted to the death. That's why the current situation has been created-Jingzhou uses the power of the whole state to fight against Cao Cao in Fancheng for a land decisive battle. [

Cao Cao led the vanguard Cao Hong to lead the cavalry to advance first. On Liu Bei's side, it was naturally the Wannian vanguard and the Yanren Zhang Fei who took the head of the general among the ten thousand armies.

Although the cavalry led by Zhang Fei was inferior to Cao Hong's troops in terms of equipment, Zhang Fei was victorious in his bravery. The leopard cavalry was defeated, and both sides suffered losses, so they returned.

After that, the two sides confronted each other in Fancheng for more than a month, often attacking each other, winning and losing each other. For the time being, Liu Bei also fulfilled what he said to Liu Biao: keep Cao Cao in Fancheng, and make him step into Xiangyang County for half a step.

However, whether it is Liu Biao or Liu Bei, they are very bright: if this drags on, the final loser will definitely be Jingzhou, not for other reasons, but for the consumption of food, grass and soldiers.

Although Jingzhou is rich, it is only one county in the end; and Cao Cao has unified the entire Yellow River Basin. After years of recuperation, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are getting richer and their household registrations are also increasing.

For a few months and half a year, Jingzhou can still support it with years of grain storage. However, even if Liu Bei can resist Cao Cao's [-] elite attack with [-] soldiers and horses for a long time, his military morale will fluctuate due to lack of food. The battle is self-defeating.

Just as the three brothers Liu Bei, Kuai Yue, Wen Pin, etc., fought desperately with Cao Cao on the front line, Liu Biao went around raising food every day, recruiting soldiers until he was almost grieving, and sent three or four letters to Jiangxia every day, asking Guan Ping in the form of orders When the troops were dispatched, the instigator of all this was sitting in the Shiyang barracks, staring at the map, while a man was sitting opposite him, and the identity of that man was enough to drive Liu Biao and Liu Bei crazy.

"Wen Yuan, it's not easy for you to come here, why don't I take you to meet Feng'er while I'm free?"Now she gave birth to me a big fat boy, he looks so cute. '

It was Zhang Liao who came. He was ordered by Cao Cao to come down from the battlefield alone, conceal his identity, and go to Jiangxia to meet Guan Ping.

After all, at this time, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Guan Ping's department has become the third force outside Cao Cao and Liu Biao. If Guan Ping joins Liu Bei, the pressure on Cao Cao will undoubtedly be much greater, and many plans will have to be temporarily changed. , and even, which side Guan Ping joins may determine the outcome of the war.

Cao Cao's explanation to Zhang Liao was: It would be great to be able to recruit Guan Ping, but it is unrealistic. It would be a great achievement if he could persuade Guan Ping to stand still within three months.

But Zhang Liao couldn't be happy. He and Guan Ping are really friends who have met through adversity, know the truth, and have gone through tests; he didn't want to rely on his relationship with Guan Ping to impose pressure on Guan Ping's actions. pressure.

"Dingguo..." Zhang Liao sighed deeply, his face full of shame.

Guan Ping patted Zhang Liao's shoulder with a smile, and said, "Let's talk." '

"The prime minister hopes that you will continue to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and not to help Liu Bei." '

Guan Ping pondered for a while, and said: "Then you tell the prime minister clearly that unless Liu Bei's army is defeated for thousands of miles, and the lives of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang are in danger, otherwise, I will not send troops." '

'OK! Zhang Liao pursed his lips, stood up, and was about to go out.

'Wen Yuan, where are you going? '[

Zhang Liao stopped and said, "It's really shameless to see Dingguo again." '

Guan Ping smiled and said: "Hey, how can you say that, let's go, let's go have a few sips, since we left in Xuchang, we haven't had a drink together for several years." '

Zhang Liao still stood still, but Guan Ping gave him a push, and then Zhang Liao started to drink with Guan Ping.

These days, it's rare to meet a sincere friend, and both of them drank a little too much.

Guan Ping never forgets Zhang Liao's family's kindness to him. If they hadn't taken in Guan Feng, she would have had to live alone in Xuchang for several months. , it cannot be added.

'Wen Yuan, back to Xuchang, you must tell the old lady that Xiaofeng and I have a son. '

'Don't worry, my mother loves Xiaofeng the most in her life, and she may be so happy when she learns that she is a mother. '

The two laughed loudly as they drank, all the trivial matters seemed to be temporarily covered by the wine, only the friendship floated on the wine.
