At the end of July in the 24th year of Jian'an, in order to mobilize Cao Cao's army, contain Cao Wei's power, and allow Hanzhong to recuperate, Guan Yu followed Liu Bei's decree and made a northern expedition to Xiangfan. He ordered Liao Hua to be the vanguard and Guan Ping to be the deputy general. From the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, Ma Liang
The Yi nationality served as a staff officer and we marched together.
But before that, something annoying happened.
Originally, Guan Yu arranged for Fu Shiren and Mi Fang to be the vanguard, and asked them to lead an army to camp outside Jingzhou City.
As a result, these two guys drank and got into trouble, causing a fire in the rear tent, lighting cannons, shaking the whole camp, and burning all the weapons, food and fodder. Guan Yu personally led troops to put out the fire, and the fire was put out until the fourth watch.
Ordinarily, these two bastards made such a big mistake, even if they were killed, no one would question them, but Mi Fang had a very special status. He was the second brother of Liu Bei's wife, Mrs. Mi. He could be said to be the uncle of the King of Hanzhong and Liu Chan's uncle.
What's more, the personnel power of senior officials in Jingzhou was in the hands of Liu Bei. Of course, Guan Yu couldn't punish the two easily, so he had to scold Mi Fang and punish him to guard Nanjun and Fu Shiren to guard the public security.
Guan Yu led a large army to attack Xiangfan. Within ten days, he captured Xiangyang and besieged Fancheng.
The person responsible for guarding Xiangfan was Cao Ren, one of Cao Cao's humerus brothers. Although he was good at guarding the city, he still felt under great pressure in the face of Guan Yu's menacing momentum. He hurriedly sent a letter to Cao Cao and prayed that Cao Cao would send a fierce force to rescue him.
Thus, Guan Yu began the pinnacle battle of his military career.
Let's say that Mi Fang returned to Jiangling, the seat of Nanjun County. He returned to his residence at night and was drinking to feel bored. Suddenly someone next to him said, "Uncle, drinking alone, isn't it boring?"
There was a "bang" sound, and Mi Fang stood up suddenly in fright. As a result, she accidentally knocked over the wine bottle.
He saw his nephew Liu Chan standing there about a foot away from him, with a half-smile on his face.
"Adou..., Crown Prince, is it you?" Mi Fang exclaimed in shock.
Feng Zhou smiled and said, "Uncle, it's me."
Mi Fang is Mrs. Mi's brother, and Mrs. Mi and Liu Chan's biological mother, Mrs. Gan, are sisters. They are very kind to Liu Bei's only flesh and blood, Adou. When Cao Cao attacked Xinye, Mrs. Mi hugged Adou and fled among the rebels. Fortunately, she met Zhao Yun.
.
But Zhao Yun only had one horse, how could he save two people alive? So Mrs. Mi committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in order to let Zhao Yun save Adou.
Feng Zhou inherited Adou's body and knew that Liu Chan was very grateful to Mrs. Mi and treated her as his biological mother.
When he was in Jingzhou, Liu Chan had always been close to the Mi brothers. Even though Feng Zhou possessed Liu Chan and later went to Yizhou, he often went to Mi's house to pay his respects during the New Year.
But in Feng Zhou's heart, he looked down upon this "uncle". This guy has been with Liu Bei for decades, but he has never done anything outstanding. He often fights in battles and often loses, and defends cities and often loses.
, although the opponents he faced were indeed difficult for him to deal with, it should be said that it is quite appropriate to give him a mediocre comment.
Of course, what will happen in the next month or two will be the most notorious thing about Mi Fang. Because he was afraid of Guan Yu's punishment, he actually surrendered to Soochow, resulting in the loss of Jingzhou and Guan Yu being killed by the Wu people.
This is really a pitiful and hateful person who has no ability, no opinion, and who fails to achieve anything but fails more often than not!
If Feng Zhou hadn't had a big plan, his head would have been cut off and used as a ball.
At this time, only a few people in Jingzhou knew Feng Zhou's identity, and Mi Fang was now in charge of Nanjun, so Feng Zhou had to use him to hide himself better.
Mi Fang hurriedly came over to hold Feng Zhou and said with a smile: "Adou, your sudden appearance scared me."
Feng Zhou smiled and said: "Adou sneaked here. He heard that my uncle was in charge of Nanjun, so he showed up to meet him."
Mi Fang laughed and said, "I heard that you killed Xu Gongming in formation, shocked Yangpingguan, and forced Cao Cao to withdraw from Hanzhong. My uncle was really excited. He drank several times to celebrate your success. He wanted to go back to Shuzhong to see you several times, but the army
There are many things going on in the middle, and I have no time. You are not recuperating in the middle of the river, but you are here secretly. What are you doing?"
Feng Zhou thought: "You have a lot of things in the army, and you are also busy drinking. No wonder you are useless."
He made up nonsense in his mouth: "After the Battle of Hanzhong, my father became the king of Hanzhong, and Adou was named the crown prince. Therefore, I thought of what happened in Changbanpo that year, so I asked my father for a few months' leave, secretly came to Jingzhou to pay tribute to Mi's mother, and paid a visit on the way.
Uncle. Has uncle always been well?"
This sentence touched Mi Fang's heart and soul, and he actually shed tears: "It's hard for you to still remember your mother and my poor sister. What's happening to this world? My brother followed your father and used the family's wealth for military purposes.
Ding, a member of the family, thought he was serving his orders, so he went south from Xuzhou, fighting every day, and fighting every day. In the battle with Changban, I was hit by several arrows in the face, as if I had killed the enemy. I asked Mi Fang, a stranger, and I have lived up to the trust of the King of Hanzhong. But
What's the result? I regret that the world is hot and cold, and human relationships are cold and warm. After your mother Mi's death, the emperor's uncle became more and more alienated from us. Guan Yu, the general, scolded us as if we were babies, and was merciless. Seeing you today is like seeing your mother. How can I
Don’t break your heart!”
After saying that, he hugged Feng Zhou and burst into tears. His voice was still sad.
"If you have the ability, why don't you stand out?" Feng Zhou complained in his mind.
Feng Zhou cried with Mi Fang for a while and said: "Second uncle asked my uncle to be responsible for Nanjun. It is a big logistical responsibility. How can he scold him? I think he is a talker and a fool, so I don't need to take it seriously."
Mi Fang clapped her knees and sighed: "Adou, you are still young and think too kindly of people. Are you still a good person like Dao Guan Er? If you are a good person, how can you care about the position of the Five Tiger Generals and the former generals in front of everyone?
"
"Adou, you may not know. When Fei Shi was ordered to be knighted, do you know what Guan Er said? He said, 'The king of Hanzhong and the general are regarded as one, the general is the king of Hanzhong, and the king of Hanzhong is the army.'
This Guan Yu actually accepted it calmly, he is really heartbroken. I think he clearly wants to wait for the King of Hanzhong to go and become the second Cao Cao!"
Okay!
Under Mi Fang's analysis, he described the unparalleled loyal Guan Yu as the unparalleled treacherous Cao Mengde, which was justified. If the original Liu Adou had heard this, he might have believed it.
This guy is indeed a talent, but it's a pity that he was born early and has never read a book. Otherwise, according to his potential, he can dominate the censor's desk, control the keyboard game, label the heroes, and reverse the case of the traitors.
The "keyboard warriors" who came to overturn the verdict in later generations were only at this level.
Feng Zhou pretended to be angry and said: "I didn't expect this Guan Yu to be so hateful! I didn't expect it. No wonder Guan Yu scolded his uncle a few days ago. It turned out to be a bad intention. But although I am the heir, I have no soldiers and power, and I speak lightly.
Father, whether he believes me or not, I will definitely vent my anger on my uncle! But my uncle has been through the world and has rich experience. I wonder if he can teach me?"
Mi Fang kept saying the same thing in her fuss, but when she asked him to give her an idea, she immediately stopped talking and said after a while: "The king of Hanzhong trusts Guan Yunchang, it is known to the whole world, what can I do."
When Feng Zhou saw him taking the bait, he smiled slightly in his heart, but it didn't show on his face at all, and said: "Actually, after thinking about it, Guan Yu's Northern Expedition is full of difficulties, so it may not be impossible for him to do anything."
Mi Fang was startled, and then said happily: "Adou, I know that you are both civil and military, so I think you must have a clever plan, so you might as well tell me."
Feng Zhou said: "Jingzhou is occupied by the Han Dynasty in the north, Mian, and the South China Sea. It is connected to Wuhui in the east and Bashu in the west. It is the hometown of the four wars and the place where troops are used. My father used Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou. But Sun Quan's son sent Lu Meng to garrison in the east of the Yangtze River.
Tunkou, the purpose is to engulf Jingzhou. It can be said that Guan Yu is attacking Cao Cao from the north at this time, but he is making enemies everywhere without realizing it. The safety of Jingzhou depends on a thread. This is a God-given opportunity to give credit to my uncle. I wonder if my uncle has any intention?"
After hearing this, Mi Fang pondered for a while and said doubtfully: "You want me to seize the military power? The King of Hanzhong will eat me alive."
Seize military power?
If you can think of it, your brain is all muddled?
You are stationed in Nanjun and already have real power. Why do you need to seize military power?
Even if I ask you to go to Guan Yu's Northern Expeditionary Army to seize military power, you can't do it. Do you still need my cheap man to deal with you? A small soldier in the Northern Expeditionary Army can send you to the West!
Feng Zhou complained in his heart and smiled: "My uncle has thought wrong. What Adou just said was to ask my uncle to prepare for war to defend Soochow. If things are not harmonious, the most important thing is to defend Jingzhou. Yu will lose and uncle will win."
, Father naturally knows who he needs."
Mi Fang was overjoyed when she heard this. She slammed the table and sighed: "Ah Dou, no wonder you can kill Xu Gongming in a formation. You are indeed a young talent with extraordinary resourcefulness!"
Feng Zhou said: "My uncle has given me too much praise. In this situation, it is not appropriate for me to show up. Otherwise, Soochow will be jealous and will not be able to enter lightly."
Mi Fang smiled and said, "I can take care of myself."
With Mi Fang as a talisman, Feng Zhou was at ease in Jiangling.
Mi Fang was lazy by nature and was not an elite soldier, but he had five or six thousand men under his command, less than half of whom were Xuzhou veteran generals and most of whom were Jingzhou recruits. There were about five or six thousand men. The generals in Mi Fang's army, such as Fengzhou General, were stationed in the army.
The officers were drawn out, and three hundred elites were selected from the Beiwei Army to serve as the backbone of the Mi Fang Army.
And the backbone of Mi Fang's army was incorporated into the Beiwei Army, and he was given more than 200 people to manage and train strictly.
In this way, Feng Zhou quickly took control of Mi Fang's army and began to prepare for war.
At this time, in August of the 24th year of Jian'an, heavy rain fell in the Jingzhou area, and the water on the plains was several feet deep. Yu Jin's army sent by Cao Cao to relieve the siege of Fancheng was submerged. General Pang De was killed by Guan Yu, and the commander Yu Jin was killed.
capture.
Yu Jin followed Cao Cao for decades, and he was resolute and steady, and he was strict in running the army. Unexpectedly, he was in danger at the end of his life. He did not want to die like Pang De, and eventually became a prisoner.
After Guan Yu destroyed Cao Ren's reinforcements at Jinsuo, his prestige was greatly enhanced. The Jingzhou army besieged Fancheng heavily. The food in the city was running out, and the reinforcements outside the city were cut off. It seemed that the city could be conquered day and night.
Judging from this battle, Guan Yu had a well-thought-out tactical strategy and rigorous organization. He used an amphibious attack with infantry, cavalry, and naval forces, focusing on siege and reinforcements; thus, he achieved a series of remarkable results: captured prisoners, surrendered his general, and assassinated Shi.
Hu Xiu, the governor Fu Fang and others each captured and killed the general Pang De, and wiped out nearly 40,000 Cao's main force.
In addition, Guan Yu sent an army to the north to unite all the anti-Cao forces for my use. The Central Plains was shaken and all sides were shocked.
He created false images and bluffed, causing the Central Plains to be shaken and all directions to be frightened. At this time, Cao Cao also panicked and almost moved his capital to avoid the attack.
In the autumn of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Guan Yu became a powerful figure in China.
When the news came, Cao Cao and Sun Quan couldn't sit still.
