Chapter 246 I Swear to Kill You

The weather has gradually become hotter.

Wei Kai's movements were not very skillful but he was more careful. The mutton was processed cleanly and then cut into pieces and thrown into the pot.

After stuffing firewood under the stove, considering that the taste of old sheep might not be satisfactory, Wei Kai even ran to the neighbors and exhausted his saliva before begging for a dozen peppercorns and throwing them into the pot.

From noon to simmering until the golden cucumber sinks, Wei Kai fishes out the fragrant mutton and puts it on a cutting board that has been washed many times, then mixes it with some sunflower seeds and leeks and chops it carefully.

Then with a swipe of the kitchen knife, a hole opened in the middle of the steamed cake that had just come out of the pan.

With a clasp of fingers, he opened the steamed cake, and with a flick of the kitchen knife, he stuffed the minced mutton into it, then scooped a spoonful of black beans from the nearby clay pot and put it in, then poured a little bit of broth, so that the meat cake is just like that. Done.

After making a basket in this way, Wei Kai covered it with clean Gebu and carefully lifted it up to the west city wall.

Here the two generals Guan and Zhang are looking at Cao Jun in the distance and talking in low voices.

Hou Yin opened the basket and took a look. He was very satisfied, so he greeted:

"General Guan, it's time for dinner."

So the top of the city turned into a man holding a meat pie, looking at Cao's soldiers marching silently in the distance.

Cao Ren, who led the heavy army, was prudent. He ordered Xu Huang and Yu Jin to each lead an army to the west of Wancheng to be on guard, and then personally supervised the army's northward march.

Zhang Fei finished off a meat pie in a few mouthfuls, and Wei Kai already had a look and stuffed another one into Zhang Fei's hand.

Stepping on the arrow stack, Zhang Fei complained while eating meat pie:

"This Cao Zixiao has no courage! He leads a heavy army but he dare not attack the city!"

Hou Yin was frightened when he heard this, for fear that Cao Jun, who had left An Sheng, would suddenly change his mind.

Fortunately, Guan Yu gave Hou Yin some reassurance:

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense. The army is exhausted and short of food. It is not easy to retreat safely. How can we attack the city?"

The grain, grass and baggage that should have been transported to Cao Ren's army were all piled up in Wancheng. This was Guan Yu's biggest reliance.

Zhang Fei smacked his lips and then felt a little regretful:

"Then let them go like this?"

Guan Yu carefully ate three more meatloaf, carefully wiped his beard and beard, and said:

"I can't wait for more than ten thousand people. It is a great achievement to defend Wancheng without losing."

So Zhang Fei could only continue to sigh on the city wall.

Guan Yu and his soldiers were sighing because they felt that their pursuit of Cao Cao was about to fail.

Zhang Fei sighed at this time because he felt that he could not see Shu in Long.

Different ideas, similar results.

The sun gradually disappeared in the mountains to the west. Guan Yu saw that Cao Jun was not aggressive and chose to camp on the spot, and secretly thought in his heart:

It's really solid.

Since the night attack plan came to nothing, Guan Yu thought about it again and again, and finally chose to lead five hundred personal guards on horseback out of the city gate.

The slow opening of Wancheng immediately aroused Cao Ying's alert, and soon scouts circled around to check the situation.

Guan Yu pretended not to see him and rode his horse forward without leaving Wancheng's cover. He just shouted:

"My old friend from Hedong is here. Why doesn't Xu Gongming come and talk to me?"

Not long after, the sound of war drums sounded, and Xu Huang, surrounded by fine cavalry, also came to the front of the formation.

Guan Yu took a closer look and found that there were at least thirty elite cavalry between him and Xu Huang. If it weren't for Xu Huang's armor and helmet, he could hardly see where this old friend was.

"Why is Gongming like this?" Guan Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

Xu Huang looked at the Yanyue Sword in Guan Yu's hand, but didn't answer, and said straight to the point:

"Any advice from Yun Chang?"

Guan Yu was silent for a moment. Although he knew through the light screen that this old friend had deceived him after the "Seven Flooded Armies", after all, they were their own masters and there was no resentment.

If we are talking about surrendering, whether we betray the Lord or not is not a matter of time. Xu Huang, young and old, are still in Yecheng...

Therefore, Guan Yu simply said:

"Is Gongming's injury getting better?"

During the previous attack and defense of Fancheng, Xu Huang led his troops to attack the city first, but was struck by Guan Yu with a long sword and was injured in the waist.

Xu Huang touched his waist, but then he thought that Guan Yunchang slipped out of the battlefield quietly, came to attack Wancheng, and captured Wancheng, and he felt a little frustrated for a moment.

"Fortunately he's not dead."

For a while, the two generals were silent again. The two elite soldiers stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, with only one meaning written in their eyes:

My general is not good at words.

The awkward silence was broken by the fire and shouts of death from the southwest. Xu Huang suddenly turned around and said bitterly:

"Guan Yunchang is so calculating!"

At the same time, I thought to myself, if I hadn't been prepared earlier, I might have died tonight.

Guan Yu stood there blankly, watching Xu Huang riding away and wanted to say something, but in the end he just shook his head.

Behind him, Wancheng Gate suddenly opened again, and Zhang Fei, who was dressed in armor, rode out with his troops, and then his face was filled with regret:

"Second brother, why didn't Xu Huang stay?"

The situation became too fast, and Guan Yu had no time to sigh. He immediately raised his sword to signal, and then led the troops sent by Zhang Fei and Wancheng to press forward.

Although he didn't know the situation, Guan Yu also knew that he should intimidate Xu Huang and Yu Jin's troops at this time, so that they would have no time to worry about anything else, so as to provide countermeasures.

So the two military camps were also brightly lit, and Cao Bing looked at the enemy troops in the direction of Wancheng and stood ready.

This sudden confrontation did not last long, and someone came to report it soon, so Guan Yu once again led his troops back to Wancheng slowly.

After returning to the city, the first thing Guan Yu saw was Xu Shu and Huang Zhong who looked tired.

"Fortunately, we did not disgrace our orders. The common people guarding Fancheng was not lost. General Huang Zhong defeated Xiangyang by killing Lejin!"

"Now we have received five thousand reinforcements, and they are here to help the general!"

"Okay!" Guan Yu had mixed feelings in his heart, but he just said a good word.

Although he had already known the general situation from the military report before, it was of course different to hear Xu Shu say it himself.

Zhang Fei was much more unrestrained. He first patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder and praised him loudly, which made Huang Zhong, who was almost broken after the long-distance attack, look resentful.

Then he lifted Xu Shu and turned him around several times, saying sincerely: "Military advisor is really amazing!"

Xu Shu waved his hands, then knelt down and explained the situation in detail to the two.

"The battle of Xiangfan has been decided."

Xu Shu's assertion made Guan and Zhang nod uncontrollably.

Xiangyang and Fancheng were originally strategic targets. Now Wancheng has been taken. Next, they can completely rely on this to regain the entire Jingzhou. Moreover, the defenders have a natural advantage. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have won a great victory.

"The Cao army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties in the attack on Fancheng. Now there are more than 40,000 soldiers, and they are still powerful."

"However, their food and grass are increasingly scarce. Our army has few soldiers but strong momentum. We can pursue them and capture their fleeing soldiers."

Xu Shu said very clearly that the whole battle has reached its final stage. Although the Cao army has many soldiers, it is limited by the shortage of food and grass and the soldiers' eagerness to return home, and it is difficult to fight again.

If they stop and prepare to fight Liu Bei's army to the death, I am afraid that the soldiers will mutiny before the decisive battle.

In this situation, there is basically no need for any strategy. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are very familiar with this traditional fighting style.

"Military Advisor and General Huang, go to sleep quickly."

Seeing Xu Shu and Huang Zhong's tired faces, Guan Yu said.

Zhang Fei also patted his chest:

"Leave the rest to us!"

For the first time, Zhao A felt that the salary he received this month was a bit of a loss.

At the beginning of the battle, he was on the Han River and was a giant ship soldier.

After conquering Fancheng, he was a grain transporter on the Yushui River.

After conquering Wancheng, he was a guard on the city wall.

He received one salary, but ended up doing three jobs.

Fortunately, except for transporting grain on the Yushui River, it was not very dangerous at other times, so Zhao A finally felt even.

At least he only needed to stand guard on the city wall now, and did not need to ride a horse and risk his life to fight Cao's soldiers.

Although Zhao A could not ride a horse either.

But those comrades who rode horses made Zhao A very envious.

That feeling was very...mighty, this is a word I learned recently.

Or try to learn to ride a horse first? After leaving the giant boat for nearly half a month, Zhao A suddenly had a new idea in his mind.

But speaking of the giant boat, Zhao A felt a little sorry that the river channel of the Yushui River was still a little too narrow.

Although the giant boat could barely pass, it could not turn around and it was easy to get into trouble.

Otherwise, if the giant boat is brought over to patrol along the Yushui River, it will be more convenient for General Guan and his men to go to war, right?

Zhao A didn't understand the art of war, but he could see that General Guan and his men had become busier, but they seemed happier.

Several horsemen I knew went out twice and came back safely, and they also brought back a lot of Cao's prisoners.

Zhao A was not very envious, after all, Fancheng was broken by their navy. Even if they captured more prisoners, could they be as good as the merit of breaking the city?

However, every time Zhao A said this, he was laughed at by his horsemen, saying that breaking Fancheng had nothing to do with people who could only pedal a wheel?

Zhao A looked down on him: It has nothing to do with people who can only pedal a wheel, but does it have something to do with you who can't even swim?

However, after standing guard here for two days, Zhao A's thoughts gradually changed, because there were too many prisoners brought back by these horsemen, and there were five or six thousand people in the past two days, right?

"Cao Ren doesn't take risks at all!"

In Wancheng, Guan Yu didn't even have time to take off his armor.

He strode to the map and gestured to Xu Shu:

"He led his troops to the north but could not cross the Yu River. After bypassing Zhi County, he turned northeast to Luyang County and Xun County. The road was uneven and it was difficult for us to pursue him."

Xu Shu thought it was a pity. He thought Cao Ren, with a large force, would definitely force a crossing of the Yu River in order to return quickly. However, he was surprisingly steady. However, after thinking about it, it was not surprising:

"Now this large force includes Cao Ren, Cao Cao, Xu Huang and Yu Jin, all of whom are veterans."

"If they had won a big victory, they might still be careless. Now that the defeated army is retreating north, they will definitely strive to be 100% safe."

"It's a pity that Gan Gui's achievement is gone."

Guan Yu also smiled. He had previously judged that Cao's army might force a crossing in Bowang County, so Gan Gui asked to lead a small boat to hide in the upstream swamp. When Cao's army crossed halfway, he would light the boat and swim downstream to block it and cooperate with Guan Yu's army to charge.

Now we can only think about it. This young general must have felt wronged.

"It's okay!" Zhang Fei laughed:

"I wrote a letter to Cao thief and wrote Gan Gui's name on it. Cao thief should know his name."

"What letter?" Xu Shu was curious.

Zhang Fei said calmly:

"I just told Cao thief some of his family affairs."

After escaping from Jingzhou and camping in Luyang, Cao Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for Cao Cao who was furious with Zhang Fei's letter in his hand:

"Did you curse my son and grandson to suffer from diabetes and headache, and they will die early, and within three generations, they will be exterminated by Sima family?"

"The name of Han thief's massacre of the city will be passed down to future generations, and the Hu thief's chaos in China started from Cao dog?"

The letter is full of a lot of street language, street abuse, and words of bird people and dog goods can be seen everywhere.

Cao Cao, who could smile while reading Chen Lin's manifesto, felt a headache and dizziness:

"Cao dog?"

"Zhang Fei, I swear to kill you!"

To wrap it up, I should be able to make the next video the day after tomorrow.
