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

Chapter 67 Calf Pound is not afraid of tigers
  Cao Ren had experienced the Yanzhou Rebellion and had a deep understanding of the influence and ruthlessness of the local wealthy families.

It’s all the land and house wealth accumulated by our ancestors. Who is willing to hand it over to others?
  Cao Ren sneered: "Guan Yu thinks of me as Tao Qian, haha, he is really confident."

Seeing this, Man Chong turned the topic to the countermeasures: "General, Hu Xiuxin has been defeated, and Fancheng has few soldiers. I have always heard that Pound is brave, so why not order Pound to set up camp outside Fancheng."

"Pang De's brother and former master are both under Liu Bei's command, and they may not be willing to do their best when meeting Guan Yu."

"We should take this opportunity to test Pang De's loyalty to the King of Wei; otherwise, when the war gets serious and the general doesn't know about Pang De's loyalty and treachery, he may miss the big deal."

Man Chong knew that Cao Ren was proud and had always been dissatisfied with Guan Yu. It was difficult to persuade Guan Yu, so he persuaded Cao Ren under the guise of testing Pang De's loyalty.

Cao Ren frowned as expected: "The King of Wei asked Xu Huang to go to Wancheng with the intention of being wary of Pang De."

"In that case, give Pound an order to station himself in Yancheng, ten miles north of Fancheng, to look for opportunities."

Manchong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With Pound coming to Yancheng, Fancheng's pressure will be reduced a lot.

Although Cao Ren was stubborn, Xiangfan's defense gradually conformed to Man Chong's ideas.

Lu Chang, who had always been steady and steady, was stationed in Xiangyang City, and Pang De, who was brave and good at fighting, was transferred to Yancheng.

Except for the unreliability of Hu Xiu in Pinglu City, there won't be much problem with this defensive deployment.

Although it is three hundred miles from Wancheng to Fancheng, the road is flat, and the cavalry scouts can reach Wancheng in half a day.

After receiving the order, Pound immediately led his two thousand troops to Yancheng.

"There are mostly new soldiers in Wancheng. If General Pang goes to Yancheng, he must not confront Guan Yu head-on." Xu Huang warned kindly.

Pang De disagreed with Xu Huang's words: "Although my soldiers were recruited last year, they are not the first recruits to go to the battlefield."

"I have trained rigorously in the past six months. I will not be worse than the veterans. General Xu, don't worry. Just sit in Wancheng and see how I defeat Guan Yu!"

Xu Huang was speechless.

Is the focus of my words on the new recruits?
  The point is Guan Yu!

Xu Huang originally thought that if he directly said that Guan Yu was too strong, it might arouse Pang De's competitive spirit, so he used recruits to talk about it.

Probably: I know Pang De that you are brave and good at fighting, but your soldiers are not as elite as Guan Yu's soldiers, so don't fight head-on.

As a result, Pang De couldn't understand Xu Huang's metaphor.

Xu Huang could only speak clearly: "In the past, Guan Yu killed Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang in the middle of ten thousand troops. He was so powerful that the general should not be careless."

However, Xu Huang's good intentions were still ignored by Pang De.

Pang De laughed: "Others are afraid of Guan Yu, but I am not! When I was in Xiliang, I once killed an enemy general with thousands of troops in formation."

"With a strong bow in my hand, arrows in my bag, a horse under my seat, and a spear in my hand, Guan Yu will never come back!"

Xu Huang sighed secretly and stopped trying to persuade him.

Pound couldn't even understand the explicit metaphor, so how could he persuade him?
  "Guan Yu is coming fiercely, but General Zhengnan only sent Pang De to Yancheng, which is too careless."

"The King of Wei ordered me to enter Wancheng so that I can recruit General Nan."

"You have to write a letter to King Wei so that King Wei can respond early."

Xu Huang is cautious by nature.

Although writing a letter to Cao Cao privately would make Xu Huang disliked by Cao Ren; for Xu Huang, offending Cao Ren was just a small matter of personal grudge. If Cao Cao was prevented from responding because of this, it would affect national affairs. Thinking of this, Xu Huang immediately wrote a letter and sent his cronies to Chang'an.

Simultaneously.

Xu Huang also ordered each battalion to prepare for war, sent more scouts, and ordered the prefect of Wancheng to build a granary in Xinye between Wancheng and Fancheng in case of emergency.

When Pang De's troops moved south, Guan Yu's warships were also lying across the Han River between Xiangyang and Fancheng.

To the south is Xiangyang City and to the north is Fancheng.

This was Zhuge Qiao's first visit to the Xiangfan area, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the geography of Xiangyang City and Fancheng.

"There is a record in the book: Xiangyang City is adjacent to the Han River in the north, Xian Mountain in the south, and is surrounded by water on three sides. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"When I just read the book, I was shocked but not deeply touched; when I saw it with my own eyes, I realized the truth of the saying, 'What you see on paper will only be shallow, but you will definitely know that you have to do it'."

"Fortunately, we are going from south to north. With the advantage of the navy, we can attack Fancheng first and isolate Xiangyang City. If we are going from north to south, with Fancheng as a barrier, it is almost impossible to capture Xiangyang City."

"That guy Liu Cong actually surrendered without a fight."

Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but think of the old days when Liu Bei was stationed in Fancheng. Liu Cong surrendered privately without telling Liu Bei, which made Liu Bei want to kill him.

If Liu Biao or Liu Qi were in Xiangyang City, and Liu Bei was stationed in Fancheng, even Cao Cao would have to return defeated.

The natural danger of the Han River alone was enough to give Cao Cao a headache.

"What are you thinking about?" Guan Yu saw Zhuge Qiao's surprise and asked with a smile.

Zhuge Qiao said without hesitation: "I'm wondering why Liu Cong thought he couldn't defend Xiangyang City in Fancheng with the king here."

Guan Yu had a look of disdain on his face: "Young Liu Cong, you think that if you become the lord of Jingzhou, everyone in Jingzhou will bow their heads and obey orders."

"But I don't know that Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others, Kuai Yue, Han Song, Wang Can, Fu Xun and others are all thinking about how to protect their family interests in Jingzhou."

"When Liu Jingsheng was there, he couldn't make everyone in Jingzhou bow their heads, let alone Liu Cong's son?"

"Anyone in Jingzhou can surrender, but Liu Cong, my son, cannot surrender."

"It's a pity that the huge Jingzhou was destroyed at the hands of a child. If Liu Jingsheng had known better, he would have regretted not listening to his brother's good advice."

Zhuge Qiao chuckled: "If Liu Cong is not stupid, how can he show the wisdom of the king? When the king takes Xiangyang and Fancheng, Cao Cao has an army of millions, and he can only look forward to it and sigh."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and laughed, pointing at Fancheng: "Fancheng is right in front of us. If Aqiao comes to take command, how will we deploy our troops?"

Seeing that Guan Yu wanted to take the exam, Zhuge Qiao thought for a while and said: "Cao Ren is the general appointed by Cao Cao to conquer the south. He has false power. Sitting in Fancheng, he can command all directions."

"The north bank is flat and Cao Ren has many cavalry. We can dig deep trenches and lay out antlers to delay Cao Ren's cavalry."

"It can not only prevent Cao Ren from leaving the city easily, but also make it difficult for Cao Ren's scouts to get back and forth, and cut off Cao Ren's eyes and ears."

Guan Yu said with approval: "In the past, when Cao Ren was in Jiangling, he used dozens of cavalry to attack the formation and destroyed the vanguard deployment of Zhou Yu's army."

"When two armies are facing each other, the most important formation is the most important. If the formation is unstable, even if there is a strength advantage, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy."

Immediately.

Guan Yu summoned General Su Fei and ordered Su Fei to lead a thousand soldiers to land and be responsible for digging deep trenches and laying out antlers on the south bank of Fancheng.

Su Fei was a heroic general who fought with Guan Yu in the conquest of Xiangyang, and fought with Yue Jin and Wenpin in Qingni and Xunkou. He was also one of Guan Yu's capable generals.
