Chapter 661
On October 21, the 25st year of Jian'an, the flood that took countless lives gradually subsided, leaving only a piece of mud.Fancheng emerged from the water and was soaked in the flood for more than two months. Many city walls collapsed and were blocked by various kinds of wood and stones, devastated everywhere.All houses that could be demolished in the city were demolished, including Cao Ren's mansion. Stones were used to strengthen the city defense, and wood for doors and windows was used for living.

Casualties in defending the city were no more than a few hundred. Lack of food and medicine caused Cao Jun to die more than a thousand people, and more than a thousand people were either sick or injured. There were no more than [-] who were able to defend the city, and no more than [-] who were able to fight a battle.

Cao Jun was not at all happy because the flood receded. They knew that within ten days, as long as the ground was a little dry, Guan Yu's army would launch a fierce attack. Can the broken city wall stop Guan Yu's attack?
What else can be used to strengthen the city defense when the houses are completely destroyed?There was not much food and grass in the city, there was even less fire starter, and the weather was getting colder. Cao Ren didn't know how long he could last.Man Chong cheers Cao Ren up. Guan Yu's heyday has passed, that is to say, he has passed the most difficult stage, so why worry?There is not much food and grass in the city, and Guan Yu may not be able to have much; Guan Yu has been in battle for five months, and Jingzhou soldiers will start to wear off the war, and the morale of the war will drop, and the attack will be weak; It can be achieved, so there is nothing to worry about.

Man Chong already had no money left in his family, so he had nothing to offer, so Cao Ren took out all his savings over the years to fight for the morale of the army.His money was not in vain, and the momentum of Cao Jun in the city was revived again.

It has been three days since Ma Liang arrived at Guan Yu's camp. Guan Yu stubbornly believed that although the rebellion in Wancheng was suppressed, it had a great impact on Cao Ren.The capture of Fancheng is just around the corner.As for Fu Shiren's seizure of Xiangmi, Guan Yu didn't take it to heart at all. Robbing money and women is a small matter, what can Jiangdong Wu Dog do to me?
Hearing that Cao Cao's reinforcements had arrived, Ma Liang once again urged Guan Yu to return to the army: "The general has been fighting for a long time, if Jingzhou loses, he will live up to Uncle Liu's entrustment."

Guan Yu was hesitating, and his subordinates reported that Lu Meng, the governor of the Jiangdong Navy, was sick and went back to Jianye to recuperate. The veteran Han Dang was acting as the acting military affairs officer. Han Dang sent people to reward the army with cattle, sheep and wine, and congratulated Guan Yu on his victory.

"Han Dang? Old soldier, what can you do?" Guan Yu said disdainfully.

"Father Flooded Seventh Army is powerful in China, Han just came here to intimidate his father, so he came here to show his kindness." Guan Ping was also a little smug.

Although Ma Liang felt something was wrong, he couldn't find a suitable reason.

Liu Bei sent a letter yesterday, and the messenger was Yiji, an old man from Jingzhou.Praise Guan Yu wildly, and said that in response to Guan Yu, he was going to send troops to Hanzhong to destroy the grass thieves.Zhuge Liang's letter is even more outrageous, saying that the beautiful bearded man is the No. 1 general in the universe.Guan Yu won a big victory, the enemy was terrified, the allied army was doomed, and the lord appreciated him. Guan Yu has the capital to be proud.

"Your uncle sent troops to Hanzhong, I sent troops to Jingzhou, Cao Cao couldn't look after each other...haha" Guan Yu twisted his long beard and laughed: "The order will be passed on, and Fancheng will be stormed in three days! Ji Chang, you came just in time, leaving 5000 troops behind, You watch the battle for me and see how I win Fancheng!"

On the 26th, Tan Malai reported that Cao Cao sent General Pang De to rescue.Guan Yu didn't care, and left half of his troops to continue besieging the city. He and Guan Ping brought 5000 people to respond to Pang De.

On October 27, Pound's [-] reinforcements arrived, and a black-painted coffin was placed at the gate.The soldiers of Jingzhou felt extremely responsive, and Yu Yu was even more angry, even the nameless rats dared to bark in front of me.

Ma Liang persuaded: "Pang De is quite famous in the northwest. His master Ma Chao is now under the command of the master..."

"If I didn't look at Ma Mengqi's face, how could I allow him to be so presumptuous!"

"How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? Tomorrow the boy will go to battle and capture Pang De alive!"

The next day, before Guan Ping could go to battle, Pound had someone carry the coffin outside the camp to challenge him.

"Why is Guan Yu so young?" Pang De looked at Guan Ping with suspicion.

"This is not Guan Yu, it must be Guan Ping, Guan Yu's son." Zhong Yu reminded him.

Pang De nodded and patted his horse forward: "Are you Guan Ping? I won't fight with you, and your father Guan Yu will come here quickly!"

Although Pang De had no intention of looking down on Guan Ping, Guan Ping was already furious. "How dare you look down on me, take your life!" It was his turn to chop down.

The battle between Guan Ping and Pang De had already been reported to Guan Yu.The battle between the two lasted for twenty rounds, Guan Ping was short of energy, and by the thirty rounds he was exhausted to fight.Guan Yu was furious. He patted his horse and came to the front of the battle and shouted: "Tanzhi retreat, come for the father!"

Pang De looked at Guan Yu carefully. As in the legend, he had a green robe under the armor, a red face, silkworm eyebrows, a long beard, and a crescent knife. "You are Guan Yu Guan Yunchang?"

"Exactly. Pang De, your master Ma Chao is now in Xichuan, and your brother Pang Rou is under my elder brother's command. Why don't you dismount and surrender and reunite with your brother?"

"Hahaha, since I have surrendered to the King of Wei, I am single-minded. It seems that you are ungrateful and go from place to place!"

"Ah! Thieves, dare!" Beating people does not slap people in the face, and exposing others does not expose their shortcomings.Guan Yu couldn't allow others to talk about the past. When Pang De brought up the old story again, Guan Yunchang was furious: "I swear to kill you!"

"Hahaha!" Pound looked up and laughed, pointing behind his back: "My coffin has already been prepared, but I don't know whether it is you or me!"

Guan Yu was about to go mad with rage, his red face turned blue, Danfeng's eyes widened, he swung the Yanyue knife and slashed down on his head, Pang De raised the truncated knife to hold him back.

The two sides fought back and forth for about [-] rounds without deciding the outcome. Guan Ping was worried that Guan Yu would be old and weak, so he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

Zhong Yujie and Pang De returned to the camp: "The general is so capable that he is evenly matched with Guan Yunchang."

Pang De chuckled: "I don't know how great Guan Yu is, but that's all, just take the previous moves from him, and his momentum will decline by itself."

"Back then, he had killed the famous Hebei general Yan Liang among thousands of troops. Now that he is old or lacks strength, the general should not underestimate the enemy."

"I already know all about Guan Yu's moves, if I try again tomorrow, I'm sure I'll be able to capture it!"

Guan Yu retreated back to the camp and was unhappy. Guan Ping suggested: "Pang De is a savage, why don't my father write a book for my uncle, and ask him to send Ma Chao to subdue this man?"

Guan Yu was furious and reprimanded: "Your uncle is preparing to send troops to Hanzhong. This is a critical moment. How can you send Ma Chao here? Stop talking nonsense!"

Ma Liang sighed softly, major general, why don't you know your father yet?When the lord took over Ma Chao, your father was about to enter Sichuan to compete with Ma Chao, but Zhuge Liang dissuaded him.Now that you propose to invite Ma Chao to accept Pound, doesn't that mean that your father is not as good as Ma Chao?How can General Guan let go of his face!
