Regardless of whether the other party is justified or not, Guan Yu really suffered a loss this time.
He is an extremely arrogant person. He has always been the only one to deal with others. How can others deal with him?
Although it is fair to say that Guan Yu has not fought any well-known battles in recent years due to the problems he encountered, but this cannot stop his arrogant thin hair, because he is born with such a person.
Guan Yu took off his clothes and asked the medical officer to give him medicine. He also ordered the people beside him: "Send orders to the three armies to attack Fancheng in the next day. I will definitely kill Tai Shi Ci's fellow with my own blood to avenge today's hatred."
Chen Dao stood up and said: "General, if we attack Fancheng by force at this time, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
"Why?"
Chen Dao paused and said: "In Fancheng, Taishi Ci is not the only one. When the last general rescued the general, he had fought dozens of moves with the general who had assisted Taishi Ci. To be honest, the last general was not that one.
man’s opponent.”
Guan Yu and Guan Ping all showed surprised expressions.
Chen Dao's ability is not weak, or should be very strong!
In Guan Yu's eyes, Chen Dao was one of the few generals in Jingzhou whose abilities were comparable to his own and Zhang Fei's. Now that he was defeated by the opponent in dozens of rounds, the enemy general's abilities must not be inferior to his own.
Chen Dao pondered for a moment and said: "If the general's prediction is correct, the opponent is Zhao Yun."
"Tai Shi Ci, Zhao Yun..." Guan Ping murmured: "These two are both fierce generals under Tao Shang. It is said that they are sworn brothers named Tao."
Chen Dao nodded in agreement and said: "This is exactly what I am worried about. Tao led his troops here. Although he did not bring many soldiers and horses, he thought there were many generals around him. After all, the Jinling Army has so many fierce generals.
If there are many strong generals assisting in the defense, we may not be able to fight easily if we attack Fancheng."
At this time, the medical officer of the Jingzhou Army had finished applying medicine to the injury on Guan Yu's shoulder blade, then saluted Guan Yu, then turned around and left the commander's tent.
Guan Ping put clothes on Guan Yu, and Guan Yu stood up, stroking his long beard, and strolled to the door of the handsome tent.
At this time, outside the tent, the weather became extremely gloomy, with gusty winds and muffled thunder sounds from time to time. It seemed like it was going to rain.
Guan Yu looked at the dense dark clouds in the sky, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and became slightly absent-minded.
Chen arrived behind Guan Yu and said to him: "Junhou, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Liu Bei was already ranked as the hussar general of the Jingzhou court. As his sworn brother, Guan Yu was also ranked among the four generals of the town, on par with Dong Cheng, and was granted the title of Marquis.
Guan Yu closed his eyes and felt the wind outside the tent.
When I was young, I heard him say with a smile: "This time of year is the rainy season, and it rains a lot along the Han River."
Chen Dao has been in battle for a long time, so he is naturally knowledgeable about military affairs.
He heard the string and knew its elegant meaning, and immediately responded: "Could it be that the prince wants to use... water?"
Guan Yu nodded and said: "Fancheng and Xiangyang are both close to the Han River and face each other across the Han River. As long as we wait for the heavy rain to pour and dig embankments to irrigate them, we will get twice the result with half the effort."
Chen Dao thought for a moment and then said: "But as the prince said, Xiangyang and Fancheng face each other across the river. If we cut the water to irrigate Fancheng, wouldn't Xiangyang not be affected?"
Guan Yu said calmly: "You can rest assured about this. The real purpose of breaking the embankment and flooding the city is to clear the blockage. Xiangyang is located to the south of the Han River. The embankment has been built solidly over the years. As long as it is not made by humans, everything will be fine... Over there in Xiangyang
The dam is strong. When the water level rises and floods the city, we only need to store water directly above Fancheng, and then dig a small section. Then the surrounding area of Fancheng will instantly become a flooded area, allowing the city to be flooded again.
Jian, so what?"
Chen Dao thought about it for a moment and said, "Your Majesty's words are very kind."
"When my uncle arrived, he immediately ordered the troops to be stationed on high ground to take shelter from the rain."
"promise!"
…
There was a dragon hanging in the sky, the wind was blowing hard, and the clouds were thick. Naturally, it was not just Guan Yu who saw it.
The people on the pottery side naturally saw it too.
The spies of the school affairs office also reported the movements of Guan Yu's troops to the pottery merchant.
After listening to the soldier's report, the pottery merchant's face darkened.
"Sure enough, the man named Guan moved his troops to the upper reaches of the highlands, just as I imagined... he didn't hold it in well."
Taishi Ci stood aside and said, "What does Guan Yu want?"
"He wants to use the method of flooding the city."
Zhao Yun suddenly said: "Yes, we have not lived here for a long time. We don't know the climate around the Han River. Recently, there have been strong winds and dark clouds. It seems that the rainy season is approaching. Guan Yu takes this opportunity to flood the city. It is not a good opportunity?"
"Good opportunity?" The pottery merchant snorted and said: "After the irrigation of the city, what was hit the most? It was the fields near Fancheng, farmers. Not to mention that this year's harvest was completely destroyed, at least 30% to 40% of the land will be lost in the future.
It needs to be re-irrigated before it can be cultivated again. It is not easy to turn a piece of wasteland into good farmland, but it is easy to destroy a piece of good land."
After a pause, the pottery merchant said calmly: "Fan City is flooded, and the surrounding farmers will not have a harvest next year. How will they make a living? Will Guan Yu provide for it?"
Zhao Yun shook his head: "I don't think Guan Yu has such good intentions. Even if he captures Fancheng, the next step is to immediately look at Xuchang or Wancheng. As for relieving the victims, he should not be in such a mood."
"So, people all die like this!" Tao Shang slapped the table and said, "In fact, the number of people who died during the war was not the largest. The largest number were ordinary people who were affected. He thought they
Flooded City is smart, but actually he doesn’t know how much his move will set back the regional economy and population around Fancheng? He doesn’t even know how to calculate it.”
Taishi Ci sighed: "There are few people like my third brother who have to worry about the future when they are fighting. For them, they are only concerned about the things in front of them."
Zhao Yun stood up and said, "Then what should we do now?"
"Of course it is to stop him. The means of siege the city are too bad, we must not let him succeed! In addition, send people to Nanchang and Jinling, let Lu Su, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others raise troops to attack Jiangxia and harass Liu Bei's flanks. Tao is going to turn
Turn defense into offense and advance towards Jingzhou."
After hearing this, Taishi Ci pondered for a moment and said, "Third brother, we have just conquered the Central Plains. Isn't this a bit too hasty?"
The pottery merchant nodded and said: "I originally thought so too. I wanted to consolidate the situation in the Central Plains first before launching an expedition. However, it seems that the situation is not feasible right now. As long as I don't move for a day, Liu Bei will continue to do so."
, rather than being so passive, it is better to take a preemptive strike and move the center of the battlefield to Jingzhou... But before that, we still have to defend the embankment and defeat Guan Yu."
Taishi Ci came out and said: "In this case, I would like to be the pioneer."
"There is no rush. Let's stop quietly first and see where Guan Yu plans to break the embankment. Flood control is a big deal and cannot be done overnight. If there is no accident, he should build the embankment first and then break the embankment after the water accumulates.
, it won’t be too late for us to take action after we observe clearly.”
