Chapter 59: Mi Zifang Dies for His Country

【The records of the Xiangfan battlefield still adhere to the principle of "failure means Spring and Autumn style". There are only a few words, and we can only restore the battle situation from these records.

Biography of Pang De: Later, he personally fought with Guan Yu and shot Guan Yu in the forehead. At that time, De often rode a white horse, and Guan Yu's army called him the White Horse General, and they were all afraid of him.

The two sides could fight normally and shoot arrows at Guan Yu's helmet, which means that the navy had not yet participated in the battle at this time, and it was probably a dry season.

The dry season ended in April, and Guan Yu changed from a juvenile form to a complete form. Pang De had no chance. No matter how fierce the cavalry was, it was impossible to rush the boat in the river.

So Cao Ren, who was stationed in Fancheng, attacked Guan Yu in Fancheng, which was a Spring and Autumn style. 】

Zhang Fei laughed and admired this Spring and Autumn style of writing.

He was obviously beaten and could not fight back, but at first glance he seemed to be the dominant party.

"What is the juvenile form of Guan Yu?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"It should be that when the second brother has no navy, his fighting power is like that of a child!" Zhang Fei laughed loudly.

In his mind, he imagined a pink child with the second brother's long beard and an old-fashioned look, and Zhang Fei laughed even louder for a while.

Guan Yu looked at them one by one with an idiot's eyes and did not comment.

[Faced with such a situation, Cao Cao chose to increase his troops, and Xu Huang, who withdrew from Hanzhong, was thrown over by Cao Cao:

Huang was sent to help Cao Ren attack Guan Yu and stationed in Wan.

Xu Huang alone was not enough, and he was given an army of new soldiers. At this time, Liu Bei chose to withdraw his troops and return to Chengdu. Since Hanzhong was safe, Cao Cao chose to press the trump card!

Records of Emperor Wu of the Three Kingdoms: "In the seventh month of autumn, with his wife Bian as the queen, Yu Jin was sent to help Cao Ren attack Guan Yu."

Huayang Guozhi: The King of Wei sent the left general Yu Jin to supervise the seven armies of 30,000 people to rescue Fan.

Biography of Xu Huang: Taizu sent Yin Shu, Zhu Gai and other twelve camps to Huang. 】

The generals straightened up for a moment: "How many people are there?"

Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes and recalled: "Cao Ren... should be a general of the same level as Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan led 50,000 troops in the right of the Guan River, and Cao Ren should not be much different in Fancheng."

"There must not be 50,000!" Liu Bei shook his head: "Hanzhong is far away, and Xiahou Miaocai has Zhang He and Xu Huang under his command. 50,000 are enough to resist Yizhou."

"Xiangfan is a natural barrier, and it is too close to Xudu. It is not expensive to station a large army. It should be 20,000 to 30,000 people."

Everyone nodded in agreement. The food and horses of tens of thousands of troops are a huge amount of money.

"Pang De did not explain it additionally. He should lead an army alone?"

"Yes, according to the strength of Cao thieves, it should be 5,000 people."

"Yu Jin's 7 armies of 30,000 people should be the bottom number. Yu Jin is favored, so it should be more than 30,000 and 2,000 to 3,000 people."

"What about Xu Huang? In addition to the headquarters, he will lead new soldiers, which means 810,000 people."

That is, at least 60,000 people!

"Xu Huang has reinforcements! Twelve battalions, one battalion with a thousand men means another ten thousand men?"

"How many soldiers does General Guan have?"

"The light curtain said before that he only had thirty thousand soldiers until his death."

The generals pointed at the map and said, "But it is impossible to lead all the troops north. Gong'an and Jiangling need to be defended."

"At most, we can only take out twenty thousand!"

"Twenty thousand against more than sixty thousand, and it's a siege?"

The generals looked at each other and shook their heads: How to fight?

[At this time, the Xiangfan battlefield was far from reaching its climax.

In the same month when Yu Jin supported him, Liu Bei, who returned to Chengdu, was named King of Hanzhong, and was named General Guan Yu, and was given the title of General of the Front. 】

Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei.

"Okay, second brother, you don't need to say it. I know I shouldn't go back." Liu Bei shook his head.

Thinking from another perspective, Liu Bei's subordinates had been wandering for nearly two years at that time, and they were exhausted and could not continue. Jingxiang should have been a stalemate on the surface.

But... who could have thought of it?

【The Records of the Three Kingdoms of this year even recorded in detail that Cao Zhi was unable to lead the troops because of drunkenness:

"Cao Ren was surrounded by Guan Yu. Taizu appointed Zhi as the General of the Southern Army... Zhi was drunk and could not accept the order, so he regretted and resigned."

But he was evasive about the front battlefield, and the specific situation can be imagined. 】

It was ordinary news, but Kong Ming shook his head:

"How can Cao Zhi lead the troops?"

"At this time, Cao Cao has established Cao Pi as the crown prince of Wei for two years. If he wants to use Cao Zhi to lead the troops, won't it cause trouble within the family and create heresy again?"

"I have heard about Cao Cao's preference for his sons and heirs. Now it seems that the quarrel between brothers is caused by Cao Cao."

【At this time, Sun Quan offered a small assist: In response, Sun Quan attacked Hefei again.

But in view of Zhang Liao's previous record and the surrender letter that had just been submitted less than two years ago, no one cared about Sun Quan at all.

Wen Hui, then the governor of Yangzhou, said something very interesting:

Although there are thieves here, there is no need to worry, but there is a fear of changes in the south. Now the water is rising and the army of Zixiao County has no far-reaching preparations. Guan Yu is brave and sharp, and will surely cause trouble if he takes advantage of the opportunity. 】

"Wen Hui... why do I still have some impression of him." Liu Bei murmured.

Then he looked at Zhang Fei: "The son of Wen Shu, the prefect of Zhuo County!"

The two people from Zhuo County shook their heads. They didn't expect to hear the news of half a fellow villager in this way.

Huang Yueying also shook her head, looking at Wen Hui's evaluation of "no need to worry" and said:

"Sun Hou has already become famous."

Everyone in the hall laughed.

Guan Yu was very concerned about this war and also noticed Wen Hui's words:

"Has Cao Ren been made a county army?"

"More than half of the troops were killed!" Zhao Yun was very sure: "How can more than 10,000 troops be called a county army?"

"Cao Ren is brave and likes to attack and kill!" Guan Yu was very sure, because he and Zhou Yu were besieging Cao Ren when they besieged Nanjun last year.

At that time, even when Cao Ren was trapped in Jiangling, he would still lead his troops to charge out from time to time to dampen the enemy's morale, which impressed Guan Yu.

The generals understood: Cao Ren was not the type to not fight back when beaten. Even when the Han River was blocked, he still went to fight, and ended up killing his own tens of thousands of troops!

[July is the rainy season, and the Han River can surge at any time. It is a good time for the navy to do things. Guan Yu ordered Fu Shiren to guard Gong'an, Nanjun Taishou Mi Fang to guard Jiangling, and he personally led the army north. 】

Mi Zhu was overjoyed and then shocked.

What made him happy was that the lord really missed the old times and was still extremely generous to his Mi family.

But he immediately understood in his head, how did General Guan fail? Sun Wu attacked and stabbed in the back!

The important place of Jiangling must have changed hands, otherwise Guan Yu would have spared the strength to defend Jingzhou or retreat to Yizhou.

If Jiangling was lost, would Zifang's life be safe?

So Mi Fang found that his elder brother looked at him with three parts of surprise, two parts of worry, and five parts of pity, which was very complicated.

"Brother, I can defend the city, too." Mi Fang raised his head and said loudly: "When I was the Prime Minister of Pengcheng, I also studied the Art of War."

"When I defend the city in the future, I will definitely survive if the city survives, and die if the city is lost!"

"And Shi Ren is guarding Gong'an, and the two of us can defend each other across the river! The two of us will repay our lord with our lives!"

Mi Zhu sighed in his heart: I can't bear to sacrifice my own brother's life! But it's okay, if I die for the Han, the righteousness will still exist!

Going with General Guan is also a good story for the ages!

Liu Bei also had mixed feelings. On the one hand, he felt that the death of his second brother in the future must be related to the loss of Gong'an and Jiangling.

But on the other hand, he felt that he owed Mi Fang a lot. Didn't he just mention "when he was the Prime Minister of Pengcheng" again?

And Mrs. Mi just died...ε=(ο｀*)))Alas!

Shaking his head, Liu Bei made up his mind and said, "Zifang is a man who is willing to die for his loyalty. If this disaster happens again, I will abandon him and keep him alive to restore the Han Dynasty."

Die for his loyalty!

Mi Fang stepped out and bowed, "How dare I not die for you?!"

Liu Bei helped his relative up with mixed feelings, but suddenly he vaguely remembered the words of the light curtain: He is Liu Bei's relative?
