The capital of Jingzhou, Jiangling City, Nanjun.

Since Lu Su's visit last winter, and with his efforts to persuade, Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin as an envoy to persuade the Jingzhou army to take advantage of Cao's large-scale southern expedition to Jiang and Huai to go north to attack Xiangyang and other places.

After both parties reached a consensus.

After the commander-in-chief Guan Yu secretly discussed with Pang Tong, Ma Liang and other civil and military officials, he immediately secretly began to deploy troops and quietly gathered them from various places to garrison around Jiangling.

He also secretly paid attention to the situation during the two months when the war broke out between Cao and Sun in Huainan.

Spying reports come back almost every few days.

And when I heard that the two armies were locked in a stalemate at Ruxu River.

Guan Yu was sitting in the chief room with his arms straight, his cheeks red, and he was slowly stroking his beautiful beard on his chin. After thinking for a moment, a deep joy appeared on his red face.

He suddenly felt that the time had come to send troops.

Since both sides have reached the stage of confrontation, the war will definitely not end easily.

Now is a good opportunity for me to make another northern expedition.

If we can take advantage of the fact that Cao's main army is gathered in Huainan and have no time to guard the Jingzhou border, we can recapture Xiangyang, Fancheng and other important towns.

The situation will undoubtedly be completely beneficial to our side in the future.

If you control Xiangfan, you will have the initiative.

After that, we can attack Wan and Luo, and our troops will directly threaten the Central Plains.

When retreating, you can also build a defense line along the Mian River.

Cao's army, whose navy was immature, was unable to counterattack and recapture it.

As soon as he started to think deeply, Guan Yu couldn't help but become more and more excited.

Since Zhuge Liang was ordered to condemn the army to Shu and entrust the military and political affairs of Jingzhou to his control.

During these several years, he was constantly thinking about his plan to march northward and regain Xiangfan.

Now, I see a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity right in front of me...

A top-notch general like him who is good at grasping the slightest hope of a great opportunity will not miss it easily.

He then immediately sent his eldest son Guan Ping to send someone to inform Zhu Wenwu to arrive at the mansion quickly, saying that "we need to discuss important matters."

As soon as the order is conveyed.

Everyone in the civil and military circles in Jingzhou learned of this statement one after another, and looked at the personal guards who came to report the news with anxious emotions in their words.

Everyone already understands that something big is going to happen soon.

With this thought in mind, everyone did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. They even put down what they were doing and ran towards the general's mansion.

After Pang Tong, who was now his right-hand man, heard the news, his originally worried face suddenly changed and was filled with joy.

Even more smiling.

Immediately afterwards, he filled the wine gourd tied around his waist with "Juxian Brewing", then he happily mounted his horse, and under the protection of a group of guards, he rushed to the general's palace humming a tune.

I felt a rare sense of ease along the way.

On the contrary, the guards around him were puzzled.

Isn't it urgent for Guan Junhou to send someone to inform you?

So obviously something urgent happened?

Why is it that when I look at my husband, he is not only not worried, but also smiles all over his face?

Their brain circuits couldn't keep up, and they expressed confusion.

…

It takes about two-quarters of an hour.

People led by Wen Pang Tong, Ma Liang and Yin Guan, and generals led by Zhao Lei, Wang Fu, Mi Fang and Liao Hua all gathered together one after another.

They sat down on mats on the left and right sides of the hall.

Guan Yu, who was at the head, just looked around and looked around. When he saw everyone gathered, he cleared his throat, then showed a serious look on his face and slowly recounted the battle situation in Jianghuai reported by the scouts.

After a while, as everyone learned about the current military situation of Cao and Sun's confrontation along Ruxu, the expressions on their faces also varied.

The thoughts in my heart gradually became active.

After finishing speaking, Guan Yu did not stop at all, and even revealed the plan he had already conceived.

"Everyone, Cao's army is currently locked in a stalemate with Sun Quan at Ruxu. Based on my years of battle experience, this battle will definitely not end in a short period of time."

"This time will be a God-given opportunity for our army to go north to attack Xiangyang, Fancheng and other important towns."

The words were spoken loudly.

After everyone heard this, they basically understood what he meant.

Immediately, Guan Yu paused for a moment before speaking, and then suddenly said loudly: "This general wants to mobilize his troops and select a day for the Northern Expedition."

"Recover the land of Xiangfan in one fell swoop!"

As soon as he said the last words, he clenched his fist and punched the desk. The desk shook involuntarily, and the documents on it seemed to be shaking.

Watching the determined look on his face at this moment.

It is enough to see his resolute attitude this time.

That's it.

Seeing that his generals have all made up their minds, they have vowed to fight for the Northern Expedition.

The civil and military officials in the hall will not disobey on such important military matters.

Ma Liang was the first to understand. The white eyebrows between his eyebrows wriggled slightly, then with a solemn expression, he cupped his hands and echoed: "You are wise!"

"Liang seconded the proposal!"

With Ma Liang taking the lead, the others naturally followed suit.

"We also support the Northern Expedition."

After saying these words one after another, the generals and commanders gradually looked like they were begging for war, and their hands could not help but rub their hands.

"Your Majesty, this time we must use the last one as the vanguard. I will fulfill my mission and defeat the enemy first."

"The last general is also willing to be a general and lead the advance."

"My son, please fight and lead your troops to the north."

…

A series of words.

The house suddenly became lively.

The generals and his son Guan Ping invited him to fight with full fighting spirit.

Guan Yu Danfeng glanced slightly, observing that all the generals in the army were high in fighting spirit and showed no intention of retreating from the battle.

Seeing that his military morale was ready, his already firm confidence in the Northern Expedition could not help but reach its peak.

More and more unshakable!

But just when everyone was shouting in agreement or asking for battle with excitement, they saw that Pang Tong, who was sitting in the first place on the left side of Guan Yu, was silent.

He was still minding his own business, sipping the fine wine brewed by Guan Ping.

Seeing that Pang Tong did not express the slightest opinion on his Northern Expedition at this time, but instead acted as he pleased.

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and his face showed a little helplessness.

They have been together for many years, and he has a good understanding of Pang Tong's temperament.

Although he pays great attention to etiquette on weekdays.

In particular, the discussions at the pre-war meeting like today are taken very seriously.

It stands to reason that with Guan Yu's temperament of attaching great importance to etiquette, he would have to sternly reprimand Pang Tong for his undisciplined and inappropriate behavior.

But I see that my eldest brother used to be tolerant of Pang Tong's eclectic details.

Only then did Guan Yu feel relieved, and Aiwu and Wuxia acquiesced in his actions.

For now, Pang Tong was minding his own business, tasting the wine.

He also looked at Pang Tong to one side, with a smile on his face, and said in a joking tone: "Shi Yuan, how is the wine?"

After saying this, Pang Tong finished the last sip, then quickly hung up the wine gourd, raised his body slightly and sat upright.

"Hiccup~"

Before he handed over his hand to reply, he unconsciously burped, then said with a hearty smile: "Haha. Thank you for your long wait!"

"But I have to say that Atong is worthy of being a genius."

"The extraordinary talent in military strategy has already amazed the world. Unexpectedly, the brewed Immortal Gathering Brew is also like nectar, like drinking mellow nectar, it seems to be intoxicating."
