Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 64: Qing Ni seeks his mouth, Le Jin and Guan Yu kill each other
  "That road is full of steep mountains. Le Jin not only passed the mountain road, but also made the barbarians in the valley of Nanjun adhere to him."

"Subsequently, Le Jin took advantage of the situation and defeated Lin Ju Chang Du Pu and Jing Yang Chang Liang Da who were caught off guard, directly threatening Jiangling."

"Jiangling was in danger, and Guan had no choice but to withdraw his troops from Xiangyang. Unexpectedly, Lejin did not attack Jiangling. Instead, he met with Wenpin, the prefect of Jiangxia, at Xinkou in the north of Jingcheng to ambush Guan."

"Le Jin and Wenpin, they are mistaking Guan for Pang Juan. Although Guan did not die like Pang Juan, he was hit by an arrow in his arm."

"That guy Le Jin is really ruthless! Guan just robbed Xiangyang, why did he use poisonous arrows?"

"Because Guan was hit by an arrow and his morale was dampened, Hanjinkou and Jingcheng could not be defended."

"Wenpin was also ruthless. Knowing that he couldn't hold on to Hanjinkou and Jingcheng, he simply burned all the warships at Hanjinkou and Jingcheng."

"Later, my brother settled in Yizhou. After hearing about this, he appointed Ma Chao as General Pingxi to supervise Linju. This was also to prevent anyone from taking the dangerous road to Linju again."

Guan Yu's tone was neither urgent nor slow, and there was no hatred for Le Jin and Wenpin in his tone, but more appreciation for Le Jin and Wenpin.

There are few historical materials recorded before and after the Battle of Qingni and the Battle of Xunkou, and Zhuge Qiao can only vaguely remember some simple historical materials.

Zhuge Qiao was shocked when Guan Yu told him what happened today.

Many people in later generations like to brag about Guan Yu and belittle Le Jin and Wenpin, and they also like to brag about Le Jin and Wenpin and belittle Guan Yu.

Little do they know that in this battle, both sides will win or lose, each has its own plans, and both sides are extremely dangerous.

If you are not careful, Guan Yu will occupy Xiangfan and threaten Wanluo, or Le Jin and Wenpin will shoot Guan Yu.

"No wonder Cao Cao ordered Yue to enter Hefei, and even ordered, 'If Sun Quan arrives, Generals Zhang and Li will go out to fight; General Yue will guard, and the guards will not fight.'"

"In addition to Le Jin's poor performance in Xiangyang City, I am probably also worried that Le Jin likes to be the first to get into trouble and forgets his responsibilities as a general."

"But it is undeniable that Le Jin's ability to be the first to get into trouble is amazing."

"Le Jin actually managed to pass the difficult and dangerous mountain road like Fangling to Linju. This group of veterans really likes to take risks and have fun."

"My father has always been cautious, especially in the use of troops. He must also be worried that these veteran generals have too much experience on the battlefield and can often take them by surprise."

"If you are like Ma Su, your strategy is clear and sound, but when approaching the battle you underestimate the veteran general Zhang He. This is a big taboo for the commander of the army."

"The prince used his own defeat to warn me that matters on the battlefield are not just lip service."

Zhuge Qiao's inner understanding of the battlefield became a little more clear.

At the same time, Zhuge Qiao became more grateful to Guan Yu.

What a proud person Guan Yu is?

How could such a record of being defeated first and then defeated be easily revealed?

Today, he told Zhuge Qiao this past story, and his intention was obvious.

Guan Yu was using himself as an example to cultivate Zhuge Qiao's insight into the complex and ever-changing situations on the battlefield.

Predicting the enemy's aircraft first is an ability that every general wants.

however.

In this world, how many generals can predict the enemy's plans?
  Zhuge Qiao only relied on the advantage of his historical eye to predict that Lu Meng would attack Jingzhou.

This is based on the results, and it does not mean that Zhuge Qiao really has the ability to anticipate the enemy's plans.

Without this advantage, could Zhuge Qiao still predict the enemy's plans?
  The answer, without a doubt, is no!

Zhuge Qiao is not a god, nor can he communicate with gods.

If you want to truly have the ability to predict enemy aircraft, you can only continue to accumulate battlefield experience.

As the great strategist said: Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Guan Yu recalled the past events in great detail, and he also knew the achievements and personalities of several veteran generals from Cao Wei and Jingzhou at his fingertips.

"Cao Ren is different from Le Jin."

"When we were in Xuzhou in the past, Guan Mou fought against Cao Ren."

"This person is not only very good at surprise attacks, but he is also more like a general than Le Jin."

"I have conquered Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, Lu Bu, my brother and Yuan Shao successively. I have extremely rich battlefield experience."

"If Guan hadn't spent half his life in the military and accumulated rich experience in constant defeats, Jingzhou would no longer belong to my brother."

There was a pause.

Guan Yu's tone changed a little more, and he seemed to be proud: "Although Cao Ren is a veteran who has fought for many years, he is not without weaknesses."

"Like Le Jin, Cao Ren lost too few times; if he lost too few times, it would be difficult to see his own weaknesses."

"This is Jingzhou, not the Central Plains."

"When stationing troops in Jingzhou, if you can't learn water warfare and don't know the astronomy and geography related to water warfare, you can only passively defend!"

"In the past, Cao Ren abandoned Jiangling and surrendered to Xiangyang. Guan thought that Cao Ren would pay attention to water warfare, but unexpectedly Cao Ren was transferred to Tongguan again."

"Le Jin, the replacement, as well as the later Jingzhou governor Fu Qun and the current Jingzhou governor Hu Xiu, also did not pay attention to water warfare, so that today's Xiangyang does not even have many warships."

"How can you fight against Guan's navy if you are so arrogant?"

"Hu Xiu, the governor of Jingzhou, is a mean and ungrateful man. He also relies on his bravery and does not care about the people. Although he is controlled by Cao Ren, he will never be convinced by Cao Ren."

"Guan ordered Zhao Lei to be the vanguard and march to Xiangyang City within ten days. He also wanted to test the conflict between Cao Ren and Hu Xiu."

Zhuge Qiao raised his lips and chuckled: "Hu Xiu, the governor of Jingzhou in Xiangyang, has more than 10,000 people, while Cao Ren in Fancheng only has a few thousand people."

"Cao Ren is steady and knows that the ruler is powerful, so he will not easily send his troops out of the city; but Hu Xiu may not be able to keep his composure."

"If it is discovered that Zhao Leiri has traveled sixty miles, Hu Xiu will most likely lead his troops out of the city."

"If Hu Xiu wins, he will be more conceited and not listen to Cao Ren's military orders. The prince can deceive Hu Xiu out of the city just like he deceived Le Jin in the past, and then ambush Xiangyang."

"If Hu Xiu is defeated, he will be punished by Cao Ren. Cao Ren will also take the opportunity to seize Hu Xiu's military power and recruit good generals to defend Xiangyang."

"But Hu Xiu is the governor of Jingzhou after all. Even if Cao Ren is on holiday, it is impossible to kill Hu Xiu at this time. At most, he will send Hu Xiu to station his troops elsewhere."

"If there is merit, the merit will be equal to the fault; if there is failure, both crimes will be punished."

"This gives the prince an opportunity to use alienation tactics!"

Guan Yu told Zhuge Qiao about this tactic before sending troops.

Whether at that time or now, Zhuge Qiao admired Guan Yu's tactical wisdom.

The discord between Hu Xiu and Cao Ren is like the discord between Pan Jun and Guan Yu.

They all felt that Jingzhou should not be controlled by military generals, but should be controlled by the local governor, the governor of Zhongzhou or the local wealthy family.

Discussion room.

Zhao Lei's messenger arrives.

"Your Majesty, Governor Zhao defeated Hu Xiu, the governor of Jingzhou, who was a traitor to Cao Cao, and killed more than a thousand enemies on the north bank of Yishui River. I have been specially ordered to repay the favor!"

Guan Yu heard this, stroking his beard and laughing: "It seems that we can't attack Xiangyang for the time being, so we can only attack Fancheng first."
