Chapter 12 Xu Huang is here and cannot retreat
Sun Quan's army was ready to attack Jingzhou at any time, but the main force of Jingzhou was under Fan City.
In this critical moment, Mi Yang rejected Wang Fu's suggestion to immediately withdraw troops and return to Jingzhou, which puzzled everyone.
Under the gaze of everyone, and under Guan Yu's deliberate examination, Mi Yang felt as if he was being roasted on the fire.
But the matter is now over, and his advice has been spoken and heard by everyone. He cannot temporarily go back on his words and be inconsistent.
So in the end he could only bite the bullet and answer,
Mi Yang pointed his finger and spoke in detail, "According to what the thief just said, Sun Quan dares to send troops to attack our Jingzhou this time.
In addition to taking advantage of the lack of troops in Jingzhou,
Also because in order to understand the siege of Fancheng, Cao Cao took the initiative to send envoys to hook up with Sun Quan and ordered him to raise troops to attack Jingzhou, and therefore promised Sun Quan the land south of the Yangtze River."
"It can be seen that Cao Cao and Sun Quan have now entered into an alliance."
"In this case, I think Xu Huang had already received Cao Cao's secret order and launched an attack on our army when our army retreated in a hurry."
“It has always been the case that if an army retreats and an enemy army pursues and harasses it, it will easily cause the army to become disorganized and defeated.
Moreover, our troops have been besieging Fancheng for a long time. Everyone knows that Fancheng is already in our army's pocket, but now they suddenly retreat in a hurry. Such abnormal things will inevitably cause our army's morale to fluctuate."
"Xu Gongming is a good general in the world.
He also knew the true intention of our army's retreat. If he had spread rumors that Jiangling had been lost when our army was retreating,
Most of our soldiers' families and relatives are in Jiangling City. By then, it is inevitable that the morale of the army will fluctuate and morale will be weakened."
"And Xu Gongming took advantage of this and led his troops to surprise our army. He used cavalry to disrupt our army's formation and used infantry to cover our rear army. If the army's morale was not there and the formation was in chaos again,
Our army is in great danger!"
"Therefore, if our army wants to retreat safely and return to Jiangling, it must first defeat Xu Huang's troops so that they cannot pursue our army."
"Before retreating, a big victory can also boost the morale of the army and prevent our army from being disturbed by rumors and having low morale."
Mi Yang was a little nervous when she started speaking, but when her thoughts were completely brought into her statement,
Even he himself didn't realize it. The more he spoke, the more impassioned he became, and his body became taller and taller as he spoke. It seemed that everything was as he expected.
Mi Yang talked cheerfully and stated his interests with confidence, which made everyone in the tent get to know Mi Yang again.
Mi Yang argued three times and refuted Pan Jun three times just now. It can be said that he is talented in eloquence.
Now he has a unique vision, and he can analyze the reasons why the troops cannot retreat immediately to everyone present, which fully reflects Mi Yang's intelligence.
After listening to Mi Yang's analysis and seeing that what Mi Yang said was exactly the same as what he was worried about, Guan Yu's eyes were filled with admiration.
The future life is terrible.
When Mi Yang finished his analysis, everyone present felt as if they were waking up from a dream.
They were anxious just now and just wanted to return to Jiangling City to set up defenses as soon as possible, but they forgot that outside Fancheng, there was a powerful force from Cao Wei that was eyeing them.
Xu Huang, courtesy name Gongming, was from Yang County, Hedong County, while Guan Yu was from Jie County, Hedong County. The two had known each other since childhood and had a good relationship.
In August of this year, Guan Yu flooded seven armies and captured all 30,000 elite troops sent by Cao Cao to support Cao Ren.
Then Cao Cao had no choice but to urgently mobilize his troops again and sent Xu Huang, who had just experienced the Hanzhong War and had not yet had time to repair, to lead troops to support Cao Ren.
Just last month, Xu Huang's troops had just arrived at Yanglingpo to station themselves.
After Xu Huang's troops arrived at Yanglingpo, most of his troops and horses were new soldiers because they were exhausted in the Hanzhong War. Therefore, it was difficult for him to compete with Guan Yu.
In view of this, after Xu Huang's troops arrived at Yanglingpo, Cao Cao specially sent General Xu Shang. Lu Jian warned Xu Huang, ordering him to "must gather all the troops and horses to advance forward."
After Xu Huang received Cao Cao's order, he inquired and learned that Guan Yu's front troops were stationed in Yancheng, so he made a cunning plan to cut off the retreat of Guan Yu's front troops.
Guan Yu was worried that the front and back roads would be cut off, so he ordered the front troops to burn the villages and retreat. As a result, Xu Huang captured Yancheng.
After Xu Huang captured Yancheng, Xu Huang ordered his troops to camp on both sides and press forward step by step. His main camp was only three feet away from where Guan Yu's army surrounded Fancheng.
At such a close distance, Guan Yu's army had no way of retreating quietly.
Once Xu Huang learns that Guan Yu has withdrawn his troops, everything Mi Yang analyzed above is likely to become a fact.
The people in the tent now are all people who know how to fight. As soon as Mi Yang reminded them, they all knew that if Xu Huang's troops were not dealt with, their army would not be able to retreat safely.
Because the enemy they face now is not just Cao Cao or Sun Quan, but the combined attack of these two most powerful princes in the world!
When I thought of this, the anxious expressions on the faces of everyone in the tent became deeper and deeper.
Jingzhou was about to be attacked by a surprise attack, but the main force they led was unable to retreat and defend Jingzhou for a while. This dilemma made them anxious like ants on a hot pot.
Everyone's anxious looks fell into the eyes of Guan Yu, who was sitting at the top. He couldn't help but snorted loudly. He yelled at everyone present and said,
"Why panic? Jingzhou has not been lost yet, our army's retreat has not been cut off, and everything can still turn around."
"Besides, the main force of our navy is still there, and the Han River basin has always been under the control of our army, so there is nothing to worry about."
Guan Yu has been in a high position for a long time and has an aura about him.
As soon as he let out his strong and angry voice, and with the blessing of his aura, the anxious people in the tent were all shaken.
Yes, after all, they still have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in their hands, and the control of the Han River has always been in their hands.
If, as a last resort, he forced his troops to withdraw from the waterway, there would be nothing Xu Huang could do against them.
Although this will inevitably cost a lot of soldiers and horses, there is still a way out.
Guan Yu was the backbone of everyone in the tent at this time, and Guan Yu's calmness gave everyone present a great sense of security.
They all looked with admiration at Guan Yu, who was stroking his beautiful beard at the moment, with a calm look on his face.
It's all about the general, don't panic.
Mi Yang saw that Guan Yu could instantly calm everyone's already anxious hearts with just one word, and he was filled with admiration for Guan Yu.
This kind of prestige, this calm and calm demeanor in the face of disaster, is worthy of the Guan Erye whose reputation will be passed down through the ages.
After calming everyone's emotions, Guan Yu stood up and came to Mi Yang.
Guan Yu was eight feet long and majestic, shaped like a dragon or tiger.
He carried the aura of a superior person, and when he came to Mi Yang, Mi Yang only felt a sense of oppression coming towards him.
Just now, Guan Yu was just sitting and was a little far away from him, so the feeling of oppression was not strong. But now that Guan Yu is in front of Mi Yang, the feeling of oppression is very strong.
When Guan Yu came to Mi Yang's side, his tiger eyes were looking at Mi Yang attentively.
