The next day, Cao Cao commanded two teams of men and horses, one led by Sima Yi and Xiahou Tang led 20,000 soldiers and horses from Xiliang to Hanzhong for reinforcements, and one route led by Xu Huang and Zhao Yan 10,000 soldiers and horses from Xiliang to Sili to Fancheng, the land of Jingzhou, to assist Cao Ren to resist Guan Yu's attack.When Xu Huang led 10,000 soldiers and horses to Fancheng, Cao Ren looked at the 10,000 soldiers and horses behind Xu Huang and was slightly stunned, and then asked with a bitter look: "General Xu, is it possible that the King of Wei only asked you to send 10,000 soldiers and horses to support Fancheng this time, you must know that Guan Yu is brave, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and they are all warlike, with our people and horses, it is difficult to resist its attack." ”Facing Cao Ren's bitter face, Xu Huang smiled slightly and persuaded: "General Cao Ren doesn't need to be nervous, although Xu Huang only brought 10,000 soldiers and horses this time, there is still a hidden reinforcement behind him that will come soon."
And King Wei has specially explained that we only need to defend Fancheng, and we don't need to go out of the city to fight against Guan Yu.The support army is responsible for the decisive battle with Guan Yu, and we only need to reap the benefits of the fisherman in the end. ”After hearing Xu Huang's words, Cao Ren suddenly looked excited, and hurriedly asked: "Which general led the reinforcements, and how many men and horses are there to be able to fight Guan Yu head-on" Since the town of Fancheng, Cao Ren has been leading troops to guard here.A few days ago, a sentry suddenly came to report that after Liu Bei got Yizhou, he actually led his troops to covet the land of the Han army of the second army, and immediately Cao Ren couldn't help but be furious, and even wanted to ask Cao Cao to ask the Ying overseer army to meet Liu Bei.But before Cao Ren's letter of invitation was sent, a sentinel came to report that Guan Yu was leading tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to approach Fancheng, and Cao Ren was immediately shocked when he heard it.Although Cao Ren considered himself brave, he couldn't help but be shocked after hearing Guan Yu, Guan Yu can be said to be the first fierce general in Liu Bei's army, following Liu Bei to fight for several years, and his strength, martial arts, including fame, have increased greatly.And since Liu Bei got the four counties of Jingzhou, his strength has increased greatly, I don't know what demon magic he has cast, and he actually made all the people of the four counties of Jingzhou surrender to his subordinates and serve him, which made Liu Bei's strength unprecedentedly high for a while, not only daring to enter Yizhou, but now he also wants to covet the land of Hanzhong, and even his brother Guan Yu also wants to do something to Fancheng.Cao Ren was not afraid of Guan Yu's powerful prestige, but was taken aback by Liu Bei and Guan Yu's joint move to enter the army this time, he didn't expect that these two people had such a big appetite this time, were they really not afraid of choking to death.However, since the other party has already planned to attack his own Fancheng, he can't help but take precautions, and he can only put it aside for the time being."
Give me the exact number of soldiers and horses to find out Guan Yu's movements.In addition, the soldiers of the whole city must be on guard and be careful of the enemy's sneak attack. ”Cao Ren is worthy of being a wise general under Cao Cao, and in the face of Guan Yu's army, instead of being nervous, he began to command the formation at the first time, which may be why Cao Cao asked Cao Ren to guard Jingzhou.Perhaps feeling Cao Ren's pressure, the deputy general couldn't help but remind: "General, do you want to close all the gates of Fancheng and prohibit any suspects from entering and exiting As long as we close the city gates and gather the soldiers and horses here, we may be able to resist Guan Yu's several attacks." ”After hearing the adjutant general's words, Cao Ren couldn't help but fall into a deep thought, it stands to reason that his troops in Fancheng this time were less than 10,000 and only thousands.And Guan Yu dared to come to attack the city with at least tens of thousands of soldiers, if he fought head-on, he would definitely suffer, but if he directly closed the city gate to defend and only defended it, he would have to wait until the enemy's troops were damaged in battle, or if there was insufficient food and grass, he would not retreat.Judging from the richness of the cities occupied by the enemy in Jingzhou, the enemy army will never lack food and grass, and if he uses his own thousands of troops, even if he resists the attack of tens of thousands of troops, he will not be able to consume the opponent's troops in a short time.Since then, he has become at a disadvantage, especially in the land of Hanzhong of Army B, which is also being attacked by the enemy, and the morale of the army has dropped greatly, and he must come up with a victory to win a game and boost the morale of the army.I only heard Cao Ren wave his hand to the lieutenant general and said: "Pass my military order, so that all the soldiers must not be nervous, as usual, continue to open the city gates, let the people enter and exit freely, and if there is a violation of the order, beheading." ”When the adjutant general heard this, he immediately panicked and said: "What is the general, then Guan Yu's army is not far from my Fancheng, if the city gate is still open at this moment, wouldn't it be a disadvantage for the enemy to take advantage of the situation to attack." ”I only heard Cao Ren smile slightly: "Even you think so, presumably that Guan Yu will definitely raise troops to attack after making people find out the situation of my Fancheng."
Guan Yu has always been arrogant and arrogant, looking down on the soldiers of our army, after you arrange the manpower, lead the three thousand soldiers and ambush the side outside the city.As soon as the enemy army approaches and listens to the orders of our city gate, immediately kill and take the enemy by surprise. ”When the deputy general heard Cao Ren's words, his face immediately turned happy, and he immediately said: "The general is really worthy of being a general under the command of King Wei, and the last general will go to prepare." ”Cao Ren, Cao Zixiao, Cao Cao's younger brother, a famous general in Cao Cao's army, a rare wise general, likes archery and horse riding, does not practice inspection when he is a teenager, and when he grows up to become a general, he becomes strict and obeys the law.Since following Cao Cao, he has made great contributions to Cao Cao.Breaking Yuan's technique, Cao Ren won a lot, broke Tao Qian's army and his subordinate Lu You, conquered Juyang, captured Lu Bu's general Liu He, and defeated Yuan Shaojun in the battle of Guandu.When Cao Cao conquered Ma Chao, he took Cao Ren as the general of Anxi to guard Tongguan, and broke Ma Chao in Weinan, making Ma Chao exiled in Hanzhong, you must know that Ma Chao was another general after Lu Bu at that time.In the battle of the Nanjun Guard, he resisted several attacks by Zhou Yu's army, and almost took Zhou Yu's life with an arrow.Especially when the Jiangdong soldiers and horses besieged the city, Cao Ren took advantage of the new arrival of the Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and the morale was not stable, so he arbitrarily sent soldiers and horses out of the city to raid, which shows his wisdom and courage.Later, I saw that 300 people including Niu Jin, a general in the army, were besieged by Jiangdong men and horses, and they were in danger, and the people on the left and right were frightened, but Cao Ren was angry and called on the deputy generals on the left and right to take the war horse and hold the blade, and still went out of the city to rescue Niu Jin despite the persuasion of everyone.Cao Ren rushed all the way to the enemy, and Niu Jinli should join forces to open a bloody road, how did he know that the rest of the enemy siege had not yet been exhausted, Cao Ren broke in again, rescued the remaining soldiers from the siege, and killed several Jiangdong soldiers and horses, so as to repel the enemy army.In the face of Cao Ren's courageous momentum, Chen Jiao couldn't help but sigh: "The general is really a heavenly man. ”It also shows Cao Ren's benevolence and righteousness, at that time, in the face of the siege of the Jiangdong army, Cao Ren even risked his own life to go out of the city to rescue Niu Jin and the soldiers, which few people in the world can do.When the outpost came to report for the second time that it had been confirmed that Guan Yu led a total of 30,000 troops this time, although Cao Ren had made plans before, he couldn't help but be startled when he heard that Guan Yu had brought 30,000 soldiers and horses.If the difference in strength is more than double, he can still fight with one of them, but the other party has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Guan Yu personally leads the troops, which makes Cao Ren feel a little timid.However, looking at the expectant and nervous expressions of the soldiers under his command, Cao Ren forced himself to calm down and said: "Soldiers, although Guan Yu came with 30,000 soldiers and horses this time, he is not afraid.Guan Yu has always been arrogant, and this time he has brought several times the number of troops, he will definitely want to annihilate our army in one fell swoop, as long as we set up an ambush outside the city and open the city gate as usual, Guan Yu will definitely do his best to attack.At that time, as long as we give an order, the ambush soldiers outside the city will catch Guan Yu off guard, and our soldiers in the city will also pursue it, so that Guan Yu will definitely leave a lot of troops here.When the time comes, we will hold on with all our might, and wait for the King of Wei to send reinforcements. ”"It is worthy of General Cao Ren, this plan will definitely be able to make Guan Yu return defeated."
The lieutenant general immediately rejoiced after hearing this.When Guan Yu led the soldiers and horses to approach Fancheng, he sent a sentry to inspect the place of Fancheng, and as soon as the sentry saw that the gate of Fancheng was open, several guards at the gate still looked like they were looking like they were going to the city.Seeing this, the outpost was a little more disgusted, and he disguised himself as a common man and tried to sneak into the city.As soon as Guan Yu's sentry approached the city gate, he was stopped by the guard sergeant and said: "Stop, what are you doing in Fancheng?"
"Eh, ladies and gentlemen, the small one is from this nearby village, this time the old mother is sick, so I came to grab some medicine." ”After hearing this, the guard couldn't help but glance at him and said: "Don't you know the rules here when you come to buy medicine?"
The detective couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, and then said with a smile: "Master Jun, the little one is the first time to come to this Fancheng, I really don't know what the rules that Master Jun means when he says, and I hope that Master Jun can make it clear." ”Hearing the man's words, the two guards look at me, and I look at you, and then one of them said to the sentry: "For the sake of filial piety that you came to get medicine for your mother, I will only accept you one money this time, and you must know that other people come and go at least two coins."
If you don't want to, don't blame our brother for being polite. ”"Ah" Listening to the guard's words, the sentry was slightly stunned, then looked at the fierce expressions of the two, and hurriedly smiled: "Thank you for your kindness." ”After speaking, he took out a piece of money from his arms and handed it to a person and said: "A small amount of money is presented, and it will definitely be repaid to the military master after the small one gets rich in the future." ”"Alright, you go in."
Holding the money in his hand, the guard couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth towards the other party and said.It was so easy to sneak into the enemy city, and the sentry sent by Guan Yu couldn't help but feel a little incredible, but the matter had come to this point, and the sentry couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, and hurriedly used the excuse to find a pharmacy, and by the way, he looked at the movement in the city.Immediately, it was found that the people of the city were still walking around the city defenselessly, and even the sergeants who occasionally appeared in the city looked idle.Seeing this scene, the detective finally believed that the enemy was so careless, and after grabbing a little medicine at will, he hurriedly left Fancheng and rushed towards the camp of Army B
