Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 131 125. Impersonation
"My God, are all the Shu army monsters? Why are there so many powerful generals..."

Niu Jin was parrying left and right at this moment, but he couldn't help but criticize the Han army in his heart.

The general who was fighting against Niu Jin was a double-gun general, Fu Rong. Fu Rong and Niu Jin were evenly matched. Although Fu Rong had received guidance from Feng Xi during the Eastern Expedition and had changed many of his old habits in martial arts, his skills had improved, but he was still just above the first-class level and could not even suppress Niu Jin like Guan Xing did.

On the other side of the battlefield, Guan Xing was also fighting Xiahou Ba. The two pairs were evenly matched and the battle was a draw.

Soon, the two sides fought for half an hour and had to withdraw their troops back to their camps.

Originally, the Wei army had advantages in generals and manpower, but now with the first wave of Han army's reinforcements, the Han army has a considerable advantage. However, the advantage is not big enough to defeat the Wei army, resulting in the two sides having to confront each other with no way out.

In this situation, both sides are waiting for their respective reinforcements to arrive. As long as the reinforcements arrive, this delicate balance can be reversed.

With both sides tacitly performing the show, the Han army's reinforcements arrived first. Feng Xi brought 20,000 ground troops to Dongting Lake and transferred 10,000 naval troops from Zhang Nan's army, a total of 30,000 people, to the north along the Han River and arrived in Xiangfan before Cao Ren.

"Meet the Grand Commander."

Feng Xi brought the Bao brothers and a group of generals to meet Fu Rong, Guan Xing and Huang Quan in the city. Naturally, everyone exchanged some pleasantries first.

"We are all old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so polite. Gong Heng, have you completed the preparations I asked you to make?"

Feng Xi waved his hand. As someone with the memory of people from the future, he never put on airs. They were all old acquaintances, so why bother with all this pretentiousness?

"Grand Commander, the situation is urgent. I have already deployed all my personnel to carry out the plan, but time is tight, so we have only completed the preliminary stages. It will probably take another seven or eight days to complete the project you requested."

Huang Quan answered meticulously with his hands clasped. Feng Xi nodded. After all, this was not the future, with so many mechanized equipment. Huang Quan was probably trying his best to reach this speed with manpower.

"That's fine. Just do it slowly for now. If you need any materials, tell Juwei and have his navy deliver them."

Feng Xi explained to Huang Quan that because Zhao Lei and Zhang Nan were still leading the navy to attack Jiangxia, he temporarily asked Xiang Chong, a more reliable agent, to command his navy. However, Cao Wei did not have a navy in Jingzhou, so Xiang Chong had almost no pressure.

"Then tell me about the recent situation. Who is the opposing general? How many troops does he lead?"

After Feng Xi finished caring about the things inside the city, he also turned his attention to Cao's army outside the city.

"General, outside the city are Cao Ren's vanguard general Niu Jin and deputy general Xiahou Ba, who are leading an army of 20,000. According to spies in Nanyang, Cao Ren's army has already set out to the south and will probably arrive soon."

As the first defender of Fancheng, Huang Quan knew the information quite clearly, so he reported all the details to Feng Xi truthfully.

"Niu Jin and Xiahou Ba... they are a combination of both strong military power and somewhat smart ones. But now our army has the advantage in manpower, so we can defeat them for a while and make sure Cao Ren won't be so comfortable when he arrives."

Feng Xi decided to take the initiative to attack. After all, he and his men were now trapped in Fancheng, at the small triangle where the Han River and the Tangbai River meet. If they continued to wait passively for Cao Ren's army to arrive, they would probably have to defend endlessly. This passive behavior was not in line with Feng Xi's habits.

"Let's go, I want to meet him. Cao Ren, look at those valuable things you brought with you, didn't you ask me to come to Fancheng? I'm in Fancheng now, I'll catch you as soon as I get off the boat!"

Feng Xi muttered a few strange words that no one could understand. The generals looked at each other, unable to respond, but still followed Feng Xi out.

"Huh? The Shu army dares to challenge?" Inside the Cao army's tent, Xiahou Ba was a little surprised to hear the news of the Han army's challenge. After thinking about it, he guessed that the Han army might be coming to help again.

But a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Xiahou Ba boasts of his martial arts skills and knows that no one who is not at the level of Guan Yu and Huang Zhong will be able to defeat him. The opponent is at most at the level of Guan Xing, so he is not afraid and lets Niu Jin and him watch carefully.

When Xiahou Ba arrived at the front of the battle formation, he saw that there were not only a few people on the opposite side like in the previous few days. Instead, there were nearly ten majestic generals standing in front of the battle formation. Leading them was a young man in white clothes and armor, but riding a black horse.

"General, that man is Xiahou Ba, and the one next to him is Niu Jin."

Guan Xing rode forward, pointed at the two people opposite him and whispered something to Feng Xi.

Feng Xi nodded, thought for a moment, his expression changed, he became arrogant and domineering, and rode his horse forward to the formation in a dignified manner.

"Who on the opposite side is Xiahou Ba?"

Feng Xi acted like a leader coming to inspect, which confused both sides. However, Xiahou Ba frowned, rode out and shouted:

"I am Xiahou Ba!"

Feng Xi looked down at Xiahou Ba with a domineering look, and said with a grin:

"Huh...you are Xiahou Ba? You look much worse than your damn father."

Xiahou Yuan was a thorn in Xiahou Ba's heart, and also a reverse scale that others could not touch. At this moment, this scar was torn by Feng Xi, and Xiahou Ba could not hold back the anger in his heart and exploded.

"Who are you? How dare you insult me ​​like this! Tell me your name, and I will kill you!"

Xiahou Ba's eyes were red and he pointed the spear at Feng Xi, wishing he could just come up and tear him into pieces.

"Oh. I am Zhang Nan, the admiral of the Han army's navy. I come from a prominent family. In my opinion, you, Xiahou Ba, are nothing special. Your father, Xiahou Yuan, was just a farmer who sold fake medicine. If you inherit your father's business, you will at most be a street performer."

Normally, people on the battlefield need to have some dignity, but Feng Xi doesn't need that. He knows that his name still has some deterrent power, so he settles for the next best thing and directly impersonates someone else.

After all, even if someone is impersonating someone, they usually report a higher identity, such as I am Lu Bu, I am Zhang Fei, etc. However, in this simple era, we have never seen such tricks as pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and naturally we would never think that someone would pretend to be of a lower status than himself.

It doesn't matter even if I get found out. I'm going to be famous in the future anyway, so I might as well cheat as many people as I can now.

"Admiral Zhang Nan?"

Xiahou Ba thought about this name again, and he had an impression of it, but it was not deep. He was a minor figure in the Han army, and his martial arts seemed to be just so-so, not very famous.

I only occasionally glanced at the battle reports.

Since you are just a small character, how dare you speak so arrogantly?
