"It's a troublemaker! Guan Yunchang... Hey, I heard that it's very good at fighting, but it's so good at making enemies! Many prefects, the commander turned a blind eye, took a share of the salt lake income and stopped.

This guy actually wanted to overturn the table and completely deal with the salt owls from Jieliang counties. As a result, he caused the powerful to collude with the Baibo thief, causing us to be surrounded in the city of Anyi! I don’t know how many days this city can be defended. If the city is broken, Guan Yu must be handled by the court!”

The Hedong Prefect Fan Ling looked at the besieged Bai Bo's army under the city and was already panicked. He had long known how many times had he cursed Guan Yu, who had treated him with courtesy a few days ago.

The troublemaker is in business!

Fan Ling was not afraid of the Baibo army's siege strength. He knew that with the Baibo thief power of Yang Feng's army, if he wanted to break through the county-level city, it would definitely take at least five or six days to build heavy siege equipment, and it would be impossible to attack quickly.

What Fan Ling was worried about was that the inner responder had dared to attack Jie Liang, since the Baibo thief Han Xian's troops dared to attack Jie Liang, it means that Han Xian had an inner responder in Jie Liang.

And Fan Ling also figured out the reason why someone responded inwardly was the previous one.

In this case, with the political sense of a prefect, Fan Ling can completely outline it: Jie Liang's salt oxen hero does not want to be a human being under the rule of Guan Yu, the commander of Guan Yu, would the salt oxen in Anyi hope?

As long as Guan Yu lives for one day and takes this thorough investigation, all the salt tyrants and powerful tyrants in the three counties of Anyi and Jieliang have the same idea and will consider the possibility that "it would rather follow the thief than destroy Guan Yu, at least the Baibo army wants less than Guan Yu's share, and the Baibo army will not want to completely eliminate private salt."

Thanks to Fan Ling's political acumen is very high. After being besieged in the early morning, until the evening, the head of a strong and salt oxen family near the west gate of Anyi City. He took the excuse to go to the city to work hard to reward the soldiers who were guarding the door. He also brought many armed servants and expressed his willingness to help defend the city.

As a result, when the army was working, they suddenly attacked and tried to open the city gate to welcome the thieves into the city.

Fortunately, Fan Ling was worried about this situation and personally patrolled the city. He led his personal army to block the law enforcement and killed the Yan Xiao powerful family who was trying to be an insider. Even so, two city guards were caught off guard by the powerful men who were trying to sacrifice the city.

If Fan Ling hadn't been keen on, Anyi City would have fallen.

...

Compared to Fan Ling's political keenness, Guan Yu is still quite naive in politics today.

All the experience he has accumulated over the past few years is to solve military problems, and he rarely considers issues such as court suspicion from a political perspective.

Therefore, his return to Anyi was arranged purely from a military perspective, and the march was very slow.

Before approaching Anyi City, he set up a camp thirty miles away from the city to rest for a night to ensure that the soldiers were energetic and then entered the city after dawn the next day.

The reason why Guan Yu was so persistent was that he considered that "those who traveled a hundred miles and sought profits could be promoted to the general", and he did not want to give the besieged thieves the opportunity to wait for their work. He was very confident in the solidity of Anyi City, and firmly believed that even if he could rely on the one or two thousand local troops that could be dispatched by the prefect Fan Ling, even if he did not go to rescue him for three or five days, he would not be afraid of being captured.

Because of this, after camping late at night that day, when he received the reward from the scouts sent to the city of Anyi to inquire about military information, Guan Yu was shocked and sweated.

"What? Yang Feng of Baibo's army actually organized an siege in the evening and almost controlled the Xicheng Gate? How is this possible? Could it be that there is an insider in the city?"

Guan Yu let go, thought for a while, and then discussed it with Zhao Yun for a long time before he roughly understood the possibility.

Thanks to the prefect Fan Ling's keen awareness! He probably stopped a rebellion and sacrificed his sect from the city. Otherwise, if Fan Ling was killed by a thief, he, the Hedong Chief Commander, would have done the final result!

The commander transferred the main force of the county troops to other counties, which led to the fall of the county governor and the killing of the prefect. This crime is very serious and not enough to dismiss the post. Maybe he will be sentenced to severe punishment.

Being a military general in the court is really dangerous.

After a while, Guan Yu did not dare to delay any further. He ordered that the fourth day of tomorrow be made, and he would set off after dinner and arrive at the city of Anyi at dawn. If the enemy encounters a battle, he will defeat him. If the enemy does not stop him, he will enter the city directly.

Only by personally mastering the defenses of the four gates of Anyi County can Guan Yu feel at ease. In this situation, he does not care whether it will be wasted whether using cavalry to defend the city.

At the same time, Guan Yu became increasingly hated the salt owls and powerful families in the three counties of Hedong Salt Lake.

Originally, when he was a teenager, he was only bullied by the local salt ox-strong in Jieliang County, while in the Anyi, the salt ox-strong in Yi family had no interaction with Guan Yu, and he never thought about whether he would hate the house and the Wu.

This time, he was almost destroyed by the tyrants of the Anyi tyrant. Guan Yu became more determined to completely settle the matter before leaving.

These harming thieves! They just monopolized private salt and saved up their wealth over the years to serve the gods!

The next morning, everything was following the plan. At the end of the fifth hour, when the sky was light, thousands of cavalry in Guan Yu rushed outside the west gate of Anyi City.

Yang Feng's Baibo army surrounded Anyi from all sides, so the maximum number of troops in each gate was only 3,000 or 5,000 people. Guan Yu took a single gamble to attack, and the troops on the other three sides were not as strong as support, so of course they were easily broken through.

The most important reason why Yang Feng was not on guard was that he did not expect Han Xian to fail so soon, and he did not expect Guan Yu to appear so soon.

The prefect Fan Ling spent the night in the city tower last night. He didn't dare to sleep because he was afraid that someone would take advantage of the fact that he was not careful.

Hearing Guan Yu's shouts of killing and seeing Guan Yu break through the enemy's siege through the morning light, Fan Ling finally settled down and hurriedly ordered to open the city gate to pick Guan Yu up.

"Thanks to the timely return to the army, the people of Anyi have been saved. I haven't slept all night, so I'll leave it to the lieutenant."

Fan Ling hurried back to bed.

...

However, Yang Feng, who was outside the city, was defeated by Guan Yu's camp in the early morning, and was also depressed. He brought some of his subordinates to inspect and organized a tentative siege. As a result, he found that the defense quality of the defenders had improved by less than yesterday. He hurriedly left behind a hundred bodies and retreated.

In the afternoon, bad news came further: several heads were thrown out in the city. It is said that two more salt owl families who were flirting with the Baibo thief were found, and their heads were beheaded to public, which hit the morale of the Baibo army outside the city.

I don’t know if these salt owls really wanted to try to offer the city or were framed by Guan Yu. Anyway, Yang Feng didn’t have time to receive any contact from them.

"Guan Yu is a ruthless man! He actually returned so quickly! He brought thousands of elite soldiers into the city and cleaned his internal support. Anyi was afraid that he would not be able to capture for a while. He could only hope to find allies, or block Guan Yu, divide his troops to the other two counties and rob and leave."

In the evening, after returning from the camp, Yang Feng called several of his confidants to discuss countermeasures, and couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Huang, a young general under his tent, bowed and persuaded: "Sir Qu, Guan Yu can come, which means that Han Xian is already defeated. When our army sent troops, we made plans to attack Han Xian left and right. Now that we are alone, we should take a heavy plan, so it is better to retreat early."

Yang Feng waved his hand: "How can the army run for nothing? This year, Hedong, Pingyang, and Shangdang are already hungry and withering. If you get nothing, you may not have enough food to spend the winter when you go back and you will not be able to conquer Anyi. At least you can grab Yi's nearby and plunder the wealth of the powerful Yan Xiao family there."

Xu Huang was shocked when he heard this: "Didn't Han Xian take the commission from the salt owls to expel the court at the invitation of the salt owls? Now that Guan Yu has not yet repelled, he has plundered the salt owls, or have all plundered... Will he be ridiculed by his fellow gangs?"

Yang Feng: "They were the conditions to talk to Han Xian. I never agreed. I came here uninvited, so what if I got a sum!"

Yang Feng is clearly showing that the thief will not leave.

Xu Huang shook his head: "Even if you want to plunder, you must be as soon as possible. I think that since you don't forcefully attack Anyi City, instead of siegeing to death, it is better to only surround one or two sides to concentrate your troops. Otherwise, if our army divides its troops to capture Caiyi, it will definitely be a big loss here by Guan Yu out of the city to attack him.

And it is best to withdraw within five or six days, otherwise, our main force here will be delayed for a long time and will be bitten by Guan Yu. I am afraid that Ding Yuan will be ready to move in Hedong behind me.

If Guan Yu finally exited Wangwu Mountain along the Tengshui River, occupied Zhouyangyi and the line of Wuze, and cut off our army's way back to Pingyang County; and Ding Yuan and Lu Bu entered Changping, Gaodu, along Qinshui, Danshui broke my throat to Shangdang, and our army would be trapped in a narrow area surrounded by Wangwu Mountain, Fengshui, Qinshui, and Danshui."

The terrain of Shanxi is very fragmented and cut into pieces by Taihang Mountain, Wangwu Mountain, Luliang Mountain, etc. The northeast of Hedong County has to go to Pingyang County and Shangdang County, and the roads are very limited.

Especially the road to Shangdang County was the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Changping of Qin and Zhao during the Warring States Period. If Ding Yuan sent Lu Bu to block it, it would be the layout of Lian Po's defense line during the war.

However, Lu Bu will have enemy troops in front and behind, so he has to seize Qinshui in front and guard Danshui in the back, and welcome Yang Feng with Qinshui, and reject the Baiboqu commander behind Danshui, and Li Le and other Baiboqu commanders with Danshui. The premise is that Hu Cai is, and Li Le is willing to actively support Yang Feng at that time. In fact, it is unlikely that the Baibo army will be in charge of their own affairs.

It would be fine if Yang Feng was guarded by Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, the ancient road leading to Shangdang County, because he could still choose to retreat to Pingyang, and he had a spare tire route.

But if Guan Yu is entangled with his body at the same time, and the food is exhausted and the soldiers retreat, Guan Yu uses cavalry to detour and block the important road to Pingyang first, then Yang Feng will be caught in a jar.

When Yang Feng heard Xu Huang speak so sincerely, he knew that this was all facts, so he accepted some of them with reservations:

"We will rob it as soon as possible. Regardless of whether the Yi family is easy to break, our army will withdraw its troops in five days and will not become a lonely army behind the enemy."

It is necessary to grab it, but give Xu Huang a face and grab it faster.

"Oh..." Xu Huang felt his eyelids twitching, but he also knew that he was not responsible for the head of the country and did not know the degree of lack of money and food. It was not easy to persuade him.

Yang Feng's army followed the plan and began to move into the main robbery the next day, and also shrank the siege of Anyi, so as not to be defeated by Guan Yu, any outsiders with too few troops.

Guan Yu could see these changes clearly at the top of the city. After all, some enemy troops outside the city gates disappeared directly, so the change was still very obvious.

"This is Baibo thief who wants to thieves not to leave the empty space." Guan Yu and Zhao Yun sighed jokingly.

Zhao Yun touched the turtle and thought, "Why did I remember that the lord asked us to block Zhang Ju on the banks of the Imperial Water River? Didn't Zhang Ju also rob Bohai County and obtained hundreds of millions of property. Later, Boya designed to use this huge fortune as bait to lure Kuo Yi, and Pan Feng tried his best to help me attack Zhang Ju."

Guan Yu smiled and nodded: "It's true... Since that's the case, Boya can't use it, so we can't use it? If Yang Feng really dares to rob Yi's salt owl's savings, Zilong will go to Ding Yuan to deliver a letter, ask Ding Yuan to close the door and fight dogs together, block Yang Feng's Changping Road to withdraw to Shangdang, and our Hedong Army and Hanoi Army jointly defeat the thieves."
