Bait?

Mr. Guan Erye stroked his long beard and squinted at the crowded shore. There were many people, supporting the old and the young, and even whole families.

The children looked at the boat while their parents went to carry food.

Everyone has a cheerful smile on their face.

Guan Erye's always majestic face suddenly showed a bit of warmth, and then disappeared.

As the son said, the Kuai family came ashore!

Guan Erye didn't expect that they could cooperate like this.

Millions of kilograms of grain were thrown out just as they were told, with no resistance at all?

Is this a scam?

In fact, not everyone can understand the true generosity of the old lady of the Kuai family.

"Dingguo, you said that the old lady of the Kuai family directly promised you nine thousand dendrobium. There was no deceit among them. I always feel that something is wrong!"

To be honest, Guan Ping didn't understand why the old lady of the Kuai family was so happy. This was considered a major hemorrhage.

Could it be that the old lady of the Kuai family was as generous as the rich man Lu Zijing?

A stack of three thousand dendrobium from his granary was given to Governor Zhou without blinking an eye.

The old lady of the Kuai family might have blinked a few times before sending the three stacks of granary away.

Sure enough, she is a rich woman, but she is more heroic when she is older!

Guan Ping immediately corrected his thoughts and said: "Father, I don't know whether the old lady of the Kuai family is really worried about the lives of her children and grandchildren, so she made such a happy choice to give us food.

They still want to throw millions of catties of grain to confuse us and delay the reinforcements coming from Xiangyang.

No matter what her plans are, we still choose the mass power to join us.

All her plans that are detrimental to us will be completely offset by the power of the people."

The longer the delay, the more dangerous it becomes. With their participation, the risks and efforts have been minimized.

It would be unrealistic to rely on their fleet to transport all the food outside Yicheng in a short period of time.

We can only unite the people around us and let them work hard for their own interests.

The temptation to open warehouses and store grain is too great for them.

The idea of ​​getting something for nothing and having pie in the sky is deeply ingrained, and it is really the best wish that can only be dreamed of.

When the people along the Han River heard the news, they were completely ecstatic.

Even the barbarians in Jingshan Mountain, although most of them didn't know who Uncle Liu Huang was, were excited when they heard that the granary was opened to release grain.

They were actually able to receive food from Han officials. This was recognition that they were Han people.

You know, since before Liu Biao took office, he killed fifty-five Qu commanders in one go.

From then on, the officials of Jingzhou, big and small, did not take the barbarians seriously, and they were very happy if they did not harm them on weekdays.

Not to mention, with such a good thing, I would still think about barbarians like them.

But today, Uncle Liu Huang!

This name was deeply imprinted in their minds. He was really a big man and a good official.

Mr. Guan touched his long beard and after listening to his son's words, he agreed very much, especially his son's method of hiding wealth among the people, which was really unexpected.

Presumably, both the old lady of the Kuai family and Le Jin of Xiangyang have lost their plot.

Anyway, Ping'er raised food and grass for the refugees this time.

Now it is taken from the powerful and used for the common people.

And the powerful were taken from the hands of the people. In any case, it can be regarded as robbing the rich and giving to the poor in disguise.

"Ping'er, if Le Jin comes with his army, I want to lead the navy to buckle Xiangyang's city gate."

Guan Erye looked at the bustling river and couldn't help but say something.

"Xiangyang City?"

Guan Ping originally wanted to use the food and fodder to attract Le Jin's troops, but he ambushed Le Jin halfway.

Then they got out in time, took the remaining food, and retreated along the Han River.

Guan Ping didn't even think about occupying Xiangyang City.

Now that we have arrived in Yicheng, our front is really too long.

Especially behind the scenes, Wenpin is watching with eagerness, and he still has the only naval force in Jingzhou left in his hands.

Being on the river is not like being on land. You have to conquer one city after another before you can move forward.

You can completely bypass this city on the waterway and continue moving forward.

But Guan Ping always worries about being cut off from his retreat, or being attacked by them unexpectedly, causing turmoil.

What's more, the tactics for stealing the family that Uncle Zhao had planned were just waiting for Wen to hire him to lead the army on the expedition.

"Did father misunderstand what I just said about the bait?"

Guan Ping explained another sentence: "We use food as bait here to wait for work.

Just waiting for Le Jin to come and grab the food, we would beat him up and then take the opportunity to go back.

We ventured into Yicheng to give Wenpin the confidence to lead his army to attack.

On the surface, they wanted to lock down Xiangyang's city gate, but in reality they were mobilizing Wenpin to sneak attack our rear.

In this way, Uncle Zhao will have the opportunity to send troops from Xiakou and occupy Hanyang and other counties."

He searched for fighter planes during the movement and did not lay any traps for the enemy.

Anyone can see this scene now. Guan Yu's eyes are always on Xiangyang City.

After all, even Second Master Guan himself believed this matter.

His target was Xiangyang City, not the one-third of Jiangxia County territory occupied by Wenpin.

But in Guan Ping's plan, the purpose of this battle was to risk advancing to Yicheng.

It is the territory of Wenpin of Jiangxia County. We strive to drive Wenpin out of Jiangxia County and expand our own territory advantage.

Attacking Xiangyang City now will definitely be a thankless task.

The most important military line is stretched too long, there are not enough troops at hand, and occupying such a vast four-war area, it is extremely easy to be targeted, split into two, and each fights independently.

"Father, food is not important, population is the most important."

Guan Ping calmed down and said: "Isn't the reason why we are trying so hard to extort food from the Kuai family just to solve the problem of whether the refugees who are hiding in Jingshan can fill their stomachs?

And I guess that if Le Jin personally leads the army, he will definitely ask Xu Gongming to change his station in Xiangyang City.

As for the emptiness of Fancheng, it is a good opportunity. There is no other benefit except setting a fire."

Guan Ping knew through Ma Xian and Su Fei that Le Jin was stocking grain in Xiangyang City.

The purpose is to wait until Jiangling City cannot be defended, and Xiangyang City that he holds must become the second line of defense.

Resolutely hold the Sun and Liu coalition forces under Xiangyang City and never let them go north and advance into the Central Plains.

Moreover, if Xiangyang City does not have the help of internal people to open and attack it, heavy losses will surely occur.

In the second Jiangling City, neither the Sun nor Liu families could afford to lose so many soldiers.

"Ping'er, we are not fighting alone."

Guan Erye stroked his long beard and said: "Eldest brother and Yuan Zhi's military advisor are pointing at Xiangyang City. Now there are not many opportunities for you to lure Le Jin and lead the troops out.

This is an opportunity, if I don’t take a chance, how can I be willing to accept it?”

Guan Ping froze on the spot, forgetting to include the team that was the leader of his club.

"This? I didn't think about it."

Guan Ping frowned and thought carefully.

The Three Brothers Society has taken the lead in conquering Linju and other counties. If they receive the news.

Then we can conquer Bian County and bypass Dangyang. We can also gather under Yicheng and attack Xiangyang City together.

Thinking of this, Guan Ping said seriously: "Father, do you really want to try to lock down the gate of Xiangyang City?"

"A certain person is the governor of Xiangyang, and his eldest brother is the governor of Jingzhou. Xiangyang City is the administrative seat of Jingzhou.

If we don't show up, how can we let the people in Xiangyang City and surrounding areas see you?"

"It's because I didn't think carefully about this matter." Guan Ping nodded seriously: "Fortunately, it was in time, father, please let me think twice."

"That's fine."

Guan Erye went to the side and told Zhou Cang to release all the exploration horses, and be sure to always pay attention to the movements in the direction of Xiangyang City.

Zhou Cang got the order and ran away quickly to make arrangements.
