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

Chapter 81 Heavenly being or earthly tortoise? Cao Ren had no choice but to ask for help (425)

After beheading Pang De, Guan Yu ordered Guan Xing to hold Pang De's head high and go to Fancheng to demonstrate. At the same time, he ordered Guan Ping to ambush the rear and wait for an opportunity to seize the city.

Although the pioneer Zhao Lei defeated Hu Xiu, the governor of Jingzhou, Cao Ren also took the opportunity to replace Lu Chang, who was better at defending and more popular among the people.

Xiangyang City was not demoralized by Hu Xiu's defeat.

Defeating Pound is different!

Pang De was the first supporting force to come to Fancheng's aid. Pang De's victory would increase the morale of Fancheng's defenders, while Pang De's defeat would increase the panic among Fancheng's soldiers and civilians.

As Guan Yu expected, when Guan Xing came to Fan City carrying Pang De's head.

The military schools in the city tower changed their colors one after another.

If you win, you win. If you win, you will have to carry Pound's head to Fan City to show off your power. This way of showing off is annoying.

Guan Xing even raised his voice and shouted: "Cao Ren, I heard that you have a title called 'Heavenly Man'."

"Since he calls himself a heavenly being, he should naturally have the courage of a heavenly being."

"I am Guan Xing, the former general and the second son of Shouting Hou of Han Dynasty. Do you dare to go out of the city and fight with me?"

"If you don't dare, don't call yourself a heavenly being anymore. This heavenly being will be given to my father. You can change your name to an earth turtle from now on!"

The trapped warriors around Guan Xing shouted in agreement, as if they had agreed, "General Digui, why don't you go out of the city and fight the little celestial being!"

Cao Ren was so angry that his eyes were about to burst: "I swear, I will kill you! Niu Jin, order your troops immediately. I will go out of the city and kill this guy!"

Seeing that Cao Ren couldn't bear to be provoked, Man Chong hurriedly advised him: "General, no! This kid deliberately provoked the general to leave the city. It must be Guan Yu's treacherous plan!"

"Yesterday Guan Yu deceived Pang De, and today he deceived the general again. The general must not be impulsive!"

Cao Ren also understood this truth, but he just couldn't swallow it in his heart.

Forget being humiliated by Guan Yu, Guan Yu's son will humiliate him too!

The sound of "General Digui" made Cao Ren furious!
  "Niu Jin, hurry up and get ready!" Cao Ren couldn't listen to Man Chong's advice at this moment.

Niu Jin did not dare to disobey the order and hurriedly went to organize the army.

After a while.

Cao Ren rode out of the city and took Guanxing directly.

However, Guan Xing was well prepared and got on his horse the moment the city gate opened.

Before Cao Ren stepped across the suspension bridge, Guan Xing had already galloped fifty steps away.

This taunt was full, and naturally he could not stay where he was and wait for Cao Ren to attack, so the remaining soldiers retreated one after another.

Cao Ren refused to let Guan Xing pass and urged his horse to pursue him.

Upon seeing this, Man Chong in the tower was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

This trick to lure the enemy was too obvious, but Cao Ren still fell into the trap.

"Cao Tai, quickly lead three hundred dead soldiers out of the city to meet General Zhengnan!" Man Chong was so anxious that he ordered Cao Tai.

Cao Tai also knew that his father was furious and quickly led the dead members of the clan out of the city.

Cao Ren actually realized what he was doing when he chased him out of the city.

Guan Xing ran away when he saw him. Cao Ren could naturally see such an obvious plan to lure the enemy.

Cao Ren didn't want to return to the city in despair, so he drew his bow on Pegasus and shot an arrow at the rope hanging Pang De's head.

Guan Xing only felt the light of the bamboo pole he was carrying, and then he saw Pang De's head falling from the sky, and he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

"What a fast arrow!"

If the bamboo pole was not long and Cao Ren's arrow could not reach Guan Xing, the arrow would not have hit the rope but Guan Xing!
  Cao Ren galloped forward, Chang Yan picked up Pang De's head, and then stopped chasing Guan Xing and called Niu Jin back to the city.

And at this time.

Guan Ping, who was lying behind, had not yet had time to show up.

After Cao Ren returned to the city, Cao Tai's dead soldiers came to the city gate.

"Father, why did you come back?" Cao Tai was puzzled. He just left the city in anger, and then rode back to the city in a moment. Even Cao Ren's own son couldn't understand Cao Ren's operation.

Cao Ren snorted and threw Pang De's head towards Cao Tai: "Do you think I'm stupid? Carve General Pang's head into pure wood and bury him with a generous burial."

"Let the soldiers and civilians in Fan City know that as long as they die loyally for King Wei, King Wei will not treat them badly!"

Man Chong also understood Cao Ren's thoughts at this moment.

If Guan Xing is allowed to continue to carry Pound's head and curse outside Fancheng, it will greatly affect the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Cao Ren went out of the city to snatch Pound's head, which not only showed the soldiers and people in the city that the heroic generals of the past were still alive, but also appeased the soldiers and people by burying Pound generously to show his merit.

"General, there are few troops in Fancheng. You can urgently order Xu Huang from Wancheng to go south to Yancheng, and at the same time send an envoy to the King of Wei for reinforcements."

"We can't delay it any longer!"

"Otherwise, if Guan Yu defeats Hu Xiu in Pinglu City and blocks Xu Huang in Wancheng, Fancheng will be difficult to defend."

Man Chong advised again.

Cao Ren did not refuse Man Chong's proposal this time.

Without Pang De, Cao Ren would have lost the ability to fight outside the city.

Although there were troops in Xiangyang, Xiangyang was isolated by the Han River and had no reinforcements from outside.

Therefore, the troops in Xiangyang City cannot be mobilized. Once the troops in Xiangyang City are mobilized, Lu Chang will not have enough troops to defend the big city of Xiangyang.

If Guan Yu had known that Xiangyang had few soldiers, he would have turned around and attacked Xiangyang City, while Cao Ren could only look at the river and sigh.

The advantage of a large city is that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The disadvantage is that it requires a large number of troops to defend the city.

After all, Xiangyang is not a small town like Chencang that can be defended by more than a thousand soldiers.

the other side.

Guan Xing was very angry when he returned to the camp.

They originally went to Fancheng to demonstrate and lure Cao Ren out of the city, but it turned out that Cao Ren didn't seem to have left the city after he left the city. Instead, he took Pang De's head away.

"Father, the child is incompetent and let Cao Ren steal his spirit." Guan Xing's face was full of shame and anger, and he knelt down to apologize.

"Cao Zi's filial piety and bravery are still there, and it is not your fault." Guan Yu did not punish Guan Xing. If Cao Ren had simply left the city and ambush him, then he would not be Cao Ren.

Guan Yu ordered his men to take Dong Heng with him.

Guan Yu naturally had to make good use of this general, who had the highest military rank among the surrendered troops.

"General Dong, I heard that your wife and children are all in Xudu?" Guan Yu Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, showing no emotion or anger.

Dong Heng didn't know why, but when he thought that Xu Du might become other people's wives and concubines, and his children might become slaves, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

"Back to the king, the guilty general's wife and children are indeed in Xudu." Dong Heng replied truthfully.

Guan Yu added: "Guan's greatest hatred in his life is that he failed to protect his brother's wife and children, so he least wants to see the tragedy of his wife and children being separated."

"You can take those hundreds of soldiers back."

Dong Heng was startled, thinking that Guan Yu was testing him, and said quickly: "Junhou, we surrender sincerely, without any second thoughts!"

Guan Yu shook his head: "It's not that Guan doubts your sincerity, it's actually that Guan doesn't want you to be separated from your wife and children because of your surrender."

Dong Heng gritted his teeth and said, "But if we are defeated, we will die even if we go back."

Guan Yu frowned, as if hesitating.

Zhuge Qiao agreed: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Dong Heng lead his troops to defect to Hu Xiu in Pinglu City?"

"I have heard that Hu Xiu is at odds with Cao Ren. If Cao Ren wants to kill Dong Heng, Hu Xiu will definitely protect him."

Guan Ping objected: "Father, if we let them go to Pinglu City and become enemies with my father in the future, wouldn't it encourage Hu Xiu's spirit?"

Dong Heng was a little confused after hearing this.

Are you going to let me go or kill me? Give me an accurate answer!
