Chapter 1033 Arrive
At the same time, Zhu Ling shook his head repeatedly: "How can this be? How can this be?"
He glanced at the messenger sternly and asked sternly: "Densai is a strong camp and has gained the advantage of the terrain. There are also many guards, but Dong Chao and Dong Heng were sitting and watching Guan Yu fight back and forth between the two camps? But one of them dared to lead the troops to attack, why is that so? Are they both stupid?"
The messengers were just Zhang He's entourage. How could they answer Zhu Ling's question?
They could only look at each other.
So Zhu Ling waved his hand more and more angrily, because the movement was too big, the entire military ship shook slightly.
Yu Jin was at the cabin door, chasing the fast horse, the school that was preparing for the fast horse. The hull was shaking, and he almost fell down. He held the cabin door and waved his hand, and asked several messengers sent by Zhang He to withdraw.
These messengers struggled out of the mud slumbers around Fancheng, and were extremely tired. They had to rest for a while and meet the King of Wei in the next stage. There was no need to stay here and answer questions that could not be answered at all.
They saluted with relief and went out in a row.
Yu Jin chased out of the cabin and called the military judge again: "The situation of Xiangfan cannot be spread. Anyone who speaks nonsense in the camp will be killed."
After the military judge received the order, Yu Jin returned.
By instructing these trivial matters, his mood gradually calmed down, his face remained firm, and his eyes were not shaken.
Seeing Zhu Ling silent, Yu Jin said in a deep voice: "Guan Yu broke Xiangyang in three days, and his power was as powerful as a god. The world should be shaken. Like Dong Chao, Dong Heng and other ordinary generals, it is natural that they dare not compete with him. In fact, don't talk about Dong Chao, Dong Heng, and Zhang Junyi is in Fancheng, so he dare not send troops to attack him? This is human nature... After all, they are facing Guan Yu!"
Zhu Ling sighed.
How could he not know what Yu Jin said? When Yuan and Cao were fighting in Yanjin and the White Horse area, Zhu Ling followed Cao Gong, while Yu Jin led 2,000 troops to defend Yanjin. They all knew how powerful Yuan Shao's troops were, and were all ready to fight to the death.
Only Guan Yu was able to rush in and assault Yuan's general Yan Liang in the formation of ten thousand troops and beheaded his head and returned. Yuan's army's momentum was greatly reduced, and he then broke the siege of the white horse.
Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, who witnessed this scene with their own eyes, were shocked. From then on, they were extremely respectful to Guan Yu with their brother. Yu Jin and Zhu Ling did not see it, but both of them understood that they could not do such a thing. Even if ten Yu Jin and Zhu Ling tied together and used forty hands and feet together, they could not do it.
The same is true for Xiangfan at this moment.
So what if you have soldiers, strong cities, and long-standing generals? Some people are born for the battlefield and are born to do things that are unimaginable. Such people will never be able to compete with the commander who is equally well-versed in military tactics, no matter how well ordinary people make careful plans and how strong troops are dispatched, they will never be able to match them.
Zhu Ling was not so angry at first. Before that, he even considered the possibility of leading the troops south to meet with Zhang He, Le Jin, Man Chong and others at the city of Xiangyang to defeat Guan Yu in one fell swoop.
But now, where can he still think? How dare he think?
Xiangyang City was lost! Le Jin, Man Chong was unaware of his life and death, Zhang He was trapped in Fancheng! Together, the losses of his army had exceeded 50,000, or even more!
Guan Yu has now crossed the Han River. He is likely not satisfied and wants to continue to expand his results!
What should Zhu Ling do at this time?
Thinking of this, Zhu Ling suddenly felt a little relaxed again.
After all, the leader of this army is not himself, but Yu Jin. What should I do? This is Yu Jin's headache.
"Wenze, what should we do?" Zhu Ling asked slowly.
The provocative meaning in this question could be smelled by the banned nose, but he decided to ignore it.
"I thought we should choose elite troops, go south immediately, and arrive at Zhengcheng and Dengcheng as soon as possible to support Fancheng." Yu Jin said calmly: "Guan Yu's Jingzhou army lacks military strength, and it is impossible to launch a large-scale battle in the north before stabilizing Xiangyang. As long as we use our troops steadily, we should first make ourselves unbeatable. When the King of Wei arrives in person, we will have a subsequent strategy."
Zhengcheng is more than ten miles north of Fancheng. This place is the capital of Zheng in the Spring and Autumn Period. By the Han Dynasty, it was still a major town with abundant commercial volume, second only to Wancheng in Nanyang County. Although it is abandoned now, the ruins of the city are still alive, which is enough to support the army.
Dengcheng is eight miles north of Zhencheng, which was the capital of Deng State in ancient times. Deng State's country lasted for more than a thousand years, and Deng City was always the city of Jingzhou. Cao Gong fought with Zhang Xiu at that time, and later when he entered Jingzhou, he dug a river channel to transport grain here.
If Yu Jin led his troops to occupy the two places of Zhengcheng and Dengcheng, he could echo Zhang He's Fancheng and maintain the situation on the north bank of the Han River.
"How many people do Wenze plan to bring?"
"I immediately ordered my troops, selected 20,000 people, and set off in the early morning. I was bothered by Wenbo to support me, how about it?"
Zhu Ling was silent for a while and nodded and said, "Okay."
Zhu Ling has always disliked Yu Jin. Because Yu Jin's military use has always been like this. Any arrangement he made is always straightforward and seems to be thorough, as if it was the most correct way at that time, and from any angle, it is impeccable.
But when the real battle is over, the most correct way is probably the most mediocre way. Zhu Ling could have predicted that Yu Jin would not fight Guan Yu after he brought these 20,000 people to Chengcheng and Dengcheng, so he would not have any practical benefits to the current situation.
He sneered and said something later.
Yu Jin said in a deep voice: "Wenbo, King Wei will arrive soon, and all we can do is this!"
Zhu Ling was stunned and immediately understood what Yu Jin meant.
Yes, Yu Jin's approach is just a straightforward response, but what does that matter?
After all, the King of Wei is about to arrive on the battlefield. Can Yu Jin still defeat Guan Yu before the King of Wei?
In the next battle, the only one who can make the decision is the King of Wei himself. The commander in the Cao regime who can confront Guan Yu was originally the King of Wei himself.
It was the King of Wei who decided to raise the war in Jingxiang; it was also the King of Wei who kept saying that he would severely damage the Jingzhou Army and Jiaozhou Army and cut off the King of Hanzhong's arm. However, now it seems that the entire Jingzhou war exuded an unsuccessful atmosphere from beginning to end. The King of Wei's plans only allowed tens of thousands of soldiers to feed fish and turtles first, but did not play the expected role.
What you must say is that you have to kill He Song, the general of Jiaozhou, about two days ago, and then forced to retreat to the Jiaozhou army, which can be praised. The problem is that since Guan Yu captured Xiangyang, even if the Jiaozhou army was in a mess, it would be very good!
Under such a military situation, it is a joke to talk about the ascension to the throne and the end of the throne.
Fortunately, Guan Yu's advance north gave the King of Wei the opportunity to turn the world around.
If Zhu Ling and Guan Yu were living together, he would definitely not have crossed the Han River. It was because he had won Xiangyang City, which was already a great victory that shocked the world and there was no need to make any progress. Guan Yu went to Fan City and intended to go further.
Zhu Ling was convinced that after King Wei learned that Xiangyang had changed hands and Guan Yu had gone north, he would definitely urge his troops to go south with all his might.
As long as the King of Wei can fight Guan Yu in person and defeat him with the force of Mount Tai, all the losses are worth it and all the failures can be recovered. As long as he can defeat Guan Yu, his side will sweep Jingxiang again, and it will be only in a while.
Zhu Ling was about to say something else, and the officer in the middle of the army reported outside: "General Yu, General Zhu, and all the generals and officers of all the troops arrived."
Yu Jin stood up majesticly and looked outward, and Zhu Ling fell behind and followed half a step back.
The two sides of the Qingshui River are still muddy and difficult to pass. There are only a small amount of dry earth dikes, and the soil hills can build a large tent of the Central Army. On the way from Yu Jin's boat to the big tent, the soldiers had dozens of wooden boards about a foot wide to build temporary trails to cross the continuous mud and water.
Two generals with helmets and armor stepped on the wooden board, and the wooden board was immediately heavy and made a creaking sound.
About two miles away from Yu Jin's boat, in a reed marsh on the east bank of the Qingshui River, two spies from Jiaozhou army soaked half of their bodies in the sludge and wrapped their heads in a wet cloth to resist the invasion of poisonous insects, mosquitoes and flies.
The environment was very harsh, but both of them were very sleepy. Although they tried their best to cheer up, their eyelids were always closed in a row, and it took the boss's determination to open it.
At this time, the two suddenly noticed that Cao's camp began to be noisy. They saw torches lit up, and many figures ran back and forth in the fire. They heard the sound of commands, the neighing sounds of horses, and the sound of vehicle wheels rolling over the ground one after another.
