Chapter 196: Guan Yu: This brat, treat him like a pawn!(3/4)
The morning breeze was blowing, and it was chilly, but... Zhuge Ke's mood was even cooler.
If...if Guan Gong only has this level.
If Young Master Yun Qi is only at this level, then...then maybe he really made the wrong choice.
at this time…
"Report..." A personal guard of Guan Yu entered the tent and immediately walked in front of Liao Hua, "Master Liao Bo, Guan Gong has an order... Master Liao Bo will command five thousand troops and set off immediately to march towards Jiangxia!"
"Ah...I? Lead the troops? Oh...the last general takes orders, the last general takes orders——"
Liao Hua accepted the order without thinking.
He still wondered, why him?
He is the chief secretary and a civilian... If he leads troops to follow Guan Gong, at most... he can just take over the captured city.
But when it comes to attacking the city and taking it to the ground, it's not that Liao Hua can't do it, it's because Guan Gong has never given such an order.
etc…
Liao Hua suddenly realized something.
This made him narrow his eyes.
——"It's Jiang Xia..."
——"That's right, it's Jiangxia. How could it be Jiangxia?"
This astonishing discovery made Liao Hua's eyes widen suddenly, and he looked at the guards in great astonishment.
Zhuge Ke reacted faster, "Isn't it Fancheng? Why is it Jiangxia?"
The guards' words came out one after another, "I don't know about this general."
"Where is Guan Gong?" Zhuge Ke asked in rapid succession.
"Guan Gong secretly mobilized all the cavalry two hours ago and marched towards Jiangxia..."
Following this voice, Zhuge Ke suddenly realized.
He exclaimed: "In other words, Guan Gong took Fancheng in name, but his real purpose... was to mobilize Cao Wei's defenders to gather in Fancheng. Jiangxia would be empty and helpless, and then attack from the east to the west. Guan Gong personally attacked Jiangxia by surprise... That is to say
…He…he listened to all of Young Master Yun Qi’s suggestions.”
Hearing this, Liao Hua was also surprised.
"If so..."
Zhuge Ke interrupted him and urged: "Master Liao, can you leave quickly? Otherwise, Guan Gong has captured the new cities north of Jiangxia, and no one will be able to take over the city defenses."
Only then did Liao Hua finally realize...
He quickly put on his armor.
Not sure if it was because he was nervous when he became a general for the first time, or because of something else, he asked quickly.
"Bing...where are the soldiers?"
…
The sun was rising slightly in the Guan family's military camp and Guan Ping's camp. Guan Ping and his troops stood waiting outside the camp.
Many soldiers' eyes were red, and they were looking at the Chinese camp with longing eyes, even now.
They still hope that Guan Gong can take back his orders and give up attacking Xiangfan...
But everyone knows that this is in vain.
At this time, the clear and urgent sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded between the sky and the earth. Guan Ping raised his head and looked up, and the figure on the horse gradually became clear, it was Zhou Cang.
At this moment, Zhou Cang was flying his command flag.
"Guan Gong's order——"
Guan Ping and a group of lieutenants saluted in unison and shouted - "Receive the order flag!"
Zhou Cang looked around at them and immediately ordered, "Ask General Yamen to Guanping and set off for Xiangyang immediately!"
——Xiangyang?
Guan Ping was startled and quickly asked: "Why is it Xiangyang? My father gave the order last night, isn't it still Fancheng?"
Xiangyang and Fancheng are said to be separated by water and face each other across the river.
But if this Jingjiang Road had not been crossed, the south side of the river would have been closer to Nanjun's supply line;
But once you cross it, you will be closer to Wan and Luo, and closer to Cao Wei's supply line.
Therefore, whether it is Fancheng or Xiangyang is actually very sensitive.
"Military orders are like mountains, and the last general is only responsible for passing on Guan Gong's military orders!"
Guan Ping quickly raised his hand and took the command flag.
However, Zhou Cang took out another document and added meaningfully: "The general here also has a military order. Guan Gong has said that it will not be too late to start fighting when the eldest son's troops approach Xiangyang City!"
"The general will obey—"
While he was talking, Guan Ping had already loudly ordered his troops.
"Emergency march, Xiangyang——"
There were inevitably some murmurs among the sergeants.
"How could it be Xiangyang?"
"Yes, attacking Fancheng... is to cut off Xiangyang's reinforcements. If Fancheng is captured, Xiangyang will be destroyed without attacking. Why attack Xiangyang alone first?"
"You just heard that...in addition to issuing military orders, did Guan Gong also give the eldest son a military order?"
For a time, waves of doubts shrouded the hearts of every Guan Jiajun soldier.
Five thousand soldiers and horses have begun to move quickly!
Over there...
Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, Guan Suo...respectively brought their own troops and horses. They gathered in one place and were eagerly waiting for their father to issue the final marching order.
The morale of all the sergeants is low, and they are all depressed, as if...
Under the terrifying "prophecy" of the Fourth Young Master, they had already seen themselves killed at the gate of Fancheng.
Many more, because they couldn't sleep at night, they tossed and turned... Now their eyes are red and their faces are full of grievances.
But because he is a proud member of the Guan family army.
Military orders are like mountains...
Knowing that it is a sea of swords and fire, as long as Guan Gong orders it, there is no hesitation.
Finally, Zhou Cang finally arrived.
He raised his flag high and got straight to the point: "Guan Gong has an order. The troops here are divided into four groups, led by Zhou Cang, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, and Guan Suo. They immediately set off to the north of Jiangxia! At the same time, they attacked Anlu and Shiyang.
', 'Pingchun', 'Zhu County' launch a general offensive!"
Zhou Cang did not forget to add: "Last night, Guan Gong led his elite cavalry to advance to Xiling, the seat of Jiangxia... Guan Gong has ordered that if Cao Wei cannot capture all the counties north of Jiangxia within three days, military law will be dealt with!"
——Jiang Xia!
When the resounding word "Jiangxia" came out of Zhou Cang's mouth again and again, all the soldiers of the Guan family army were first surprised, and then fell into a silence that could be heard by a needle drop.
But it’s less than ten breaths of time.
Uproar…
There was an uproar here.
——The attack was on Jiangxia, not Xiangfan.
The prophecy of Mr. Yunqi, that if we attack Xiangfan, we will die without any chance of survival, then... it will not count.
They, they don't have to die.
Wait, Mr. Yunqi seems to have another prophecy, if he attacks Jiangxia, he will be captured easily.
What does this mean? It means Jiangxia is a soft persimmon.
It is a sword without bloodshed;
It's a piece of cake!
Doesn't this mean...
Jiangxia is just a piece of fat, a great achievement, whoever grabs it belongs to whom?
In just a moment, this idea quickly came to the mind of every soldier.
Suddenly, the indifference of the Guan family army officers disappeared.
A green light suddenly oozed from these eyes that had been tortured all night.
Desperate people suddenly no longer despair, and suddenly see hope. From the bottom of their hearts, they have developed some kind of quality that is beyond ordinary people!
