This loud roar was like a pebble thrown into a puddle of green water. It immediately set off ripples in circles, spreading outwards and being heard by the surrounding people.
"Long live the King of Shu!"
"Long live the King of Shu!"
In the blink of an eye, the gathered people shouted at the top of their lungs.
In fact, if you think about Wang Can carefully, it is not very vivid or exciting. But it is an atmosphere, especially when Wang Can personally visits the sick people and encourages them personally.
This is what makes the people excited. They feel that Wang Can is not superior, but stands with them.
This is the reason why the people are excited and excited.
The roar of the people grew louder and louder, and many people were infected accordingly.
When everyone is shouting, it is unreasonable for one of them to be expressionless and appear unsocial, unless he has a grudge against Wang Can or is someone who is on the opposite side of Wang Can. For ordinary people,
They are easily influenced and start shouting and cheering unconsciously.
Even many emotional people shed tears.
No matter what Wang Can's speech was, it not only appeased the people, but also made them remember him.
…
North, Hongnong County.
In the county hall, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun and Fa Zheng were sitting opposite each other.
Relying on the cavalry trained by Huang Zhong and the broken barracks trained by Gao Shun, the army left Hangu Pass in the east, marched straight in, quickly captured Hongnong County, and marched towards Luoyang.
Huang Zhong looked worried and said in a deep voice: "French military advisor, my lord asked us to contain Cao Cao's army and force Cao Cao to withdraw his troops. However, we fought steadily and did not go straight into Chenliu County. Didn't this put our lord in danger?"
Fazheng shook his head and said with a smile: "General Han Sheng, although our attack on Chenliu County is to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, Chenliu County is located in the hinterland of Yanzhou and is not easy to attack. Chenliu County is defended by Hanoi County and Yingchuan County in front, and there is Wei County in Jizhou in the north.
If we attack Chenliu County by force, we can defeat it with the help of heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, but it is easy to enter but not easy to escape. Only by fighting steadily can we launch an offensive and gradually encroach on Luoyang."
Gao Shun frowned and said: "French military division, if we attack steadily, how can we contain Cao Cao?"
Fa Zheng said: "Don't worry, General Gao. I have sent a letter to Zhang Liao, the governor of Nanyang County, asking Zhang Liao to send troops to cut off Cao Cao's retreat. As long as Zhang Liao sends troops, Cao Cao will be worried about his retreat and must withdraw his troops. Otherwise, the lord and Zhang Liao will attack Cao Cao.
I'm afraid Cao Cao won't be able to get a good deal, so I predict Cao Cao will withdraw his troops."
Huang Zhong and Gao Shun felt relieved after hearing this.
Zhang Liao's attack was obviously faster and more direct than theirs.
…
Nanyang County, Wan County.
In the county hall, Zhang Liao is sitting on top with a golden sword and a horse, and below are the military generals and county officials.
At this time, Zhang Liao had undergone tremendous changes compared to before, and he had the aura of a frontier official in his movements. He was sitting at the top, and the officials and generals below were all silent, waiting for Zhang Liao to speak.
Zhang Liao said unhurriedly: "My lord has killed Liu Bei and has taken Xiangyang, but Cao Cao and Sun Jian both led troops to attack Xiangyang, hoping to seize the land of Jingzhou. In order for my lord to gain a foothold in Xiangyang, Chang'an's
Fazheng and Huang Zhong have already led troops to attack Luoyang. They have taken action, and we have also started to take action. I intend to send troops to attack Wuyin County and cut off Cao Cao's retreat."
Wuyin County was originally part of Nanyang County, but it was close to Yuzhou and was taken away by Cao Cao.
The eyes of the general in the hall lit up and he said loudly: "General, please give the order."
Zhang Liao shouted: "Where is Liang Li?" Liang Li was an official subordinate to Zhang Liao and was responsible for the distribution of grain and grass in Nanyang County.
"It's my humble duty!" Liang Li replied with his fists clasped.
Zhang Liao ordered in a deep voice: "I order you to prepare one month's worth of food and grass to supply the army for the expedition. It must be done quickly and must be completed within two days without any mistakes."
"No!" Liang Li responded with clasped fists.
Zhang Liao shouted again: "The remaining generals must immediately mobilize their troops and prepare for the expedition. In addition, after this general leaves for the expedition, the affairs of Nanyang County will be handed over to the chief clerk."
"promise!"
Everyone agreed, but Zhang Liao's generals were eager to try and prepare for the expedition.
…
Eight hundred miles away from Dongting, on the green lake with blue waves, a large ship was docked quietly.
In the cabin, Jia Xu, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai sat opposite each other.
Gan Ning smiled and said: "Military advisor, the lord has sent a message asking us to take action. What should we do next? Please tell us something!" Gan Ning had long wanted to take action against Jiang Dong, but he had always been bumpy and bumpy.
We were making a small fuss but didn't make any big noise, so I felt aggrieved. Now with Wang Can's order, I finally have a chance to show off my power.
Zhou Tai chuckled and said: "Military advisor, according to me, we will directly attack Sun Jian's hinterland and disturb him, and then Sun Jian will naturally return." Zhou Tai was originally doing business on the river, so he was very courageous.
When Sun Jian led his troops and left Wu Commandery, he had the idea of going directly to Jiangdong.
Jia Xu sneered and said: "Youping, you led the troops to stir up troubles and forced Sun Jian to return. But what did we gain? In addition to losing some elite soldiers, did we gain a city and a land?"
Zhou Taili raised his head confidently and said: "Military advisor, our goal is to have Sun Jian withdraw to Jiangdong. As long as Sun Jian leads his troops back, we will have completed our mission. Why do we care so much?"
Gan Ning knew that Jia Xu was very talented, so he glared at Zhou Tai and asked, "Military advisor, what do you have in mind?"
Jia Xu said: "Sun Jian led troops and Cao Cao to attack our lord. On the one hand, we want to force Sun Jian to return, and on the other hand, we have to attack the city and seize territory, so I set the target at Jiangxia County. Furthermore, now Sun Jian sends troops to attack Huang Zu
, just want to capture Jiangxia, let’s go and get involved, capture Jiangxia, cut off Sun Jian’s return route, and then go north to attack Sun Jian.”
Jia Xu's idea and Zhang Liao's method are similar in that they both cut off the escape route.
Zhang Liao was to cut off Cao Cao's retreat, while Jia Xu was to cut off Sun Jian's retreat. Moreover, Jia Xu also wanted to capture Jiangxia and cut off Sun Jian's idea of going north to Jingzhou, thus helping Wang Can consolidate Jingzhou.
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!!"
Gan Ning put his hands on his hands and laughed, and said: "Okay, let's attack Jiangxia according to the military advisor's method. Hehe, when Huang Zu and Sun Jian's soldiers fight fiercely, we will suddenly rush in and capture Jiangxia."
A burst of hearty laughter suddenly erupted in the cabin.
…
In Xiangyang City, since Wang Can publicly encouraged the people, Wang Can's reputation among the people has increased infinitely, and he has been remembered by all Xiangyang people. Although Wang Can's words have doubled the people's confidence, there are still people in the city.
When an epidemic occurred, fortunately it did not spread and there was no large-scale outbreak. This is also a great blessing.
In the palace, Wang Can was handling military affairs, and Dian Wei hurried in.
As soon as Dian Wei entered the door, he said loudly: "My lord, Cao Jun and Wu Jun are only fifty miles away from Xiangyang. They will reach Xiangyang in half a day. What should we do?"
Wang Can stood up immediately and said, "We're finally here."
After waiting for several days, Cao Cao and Sun Jian's army finally arrived in Xiangyang.
