No one could understand the activities of the Tiandihui for a while. When they understood, the matter was over. These Japanese people did not expect that the situation that they had made was destroyed by the Tiandihui casually and they had a random idea. As a result, they also accompanied a lot of money for nothing.

Kaifeng was in full swing, and Zhang Fei was also entangled with Xiahou Yuan in Yongyang, Yuanxian, Fule, and Xiayang. Xiahou Yuan was deeply involved in the essence of the cavalry in Youzhou and firmly followed the policy of the enemy advancing and retreating and the enemy retreating and pursued him. Zhang Fei had no temper at all, but he had to admit that Zhang Fei was harassed by Xiahou Yuan, which really messed up the logistics channel of Cao Cao's northern line.

Compared with Zhang Fei's efforts, Guan Yu was overshadowed. This was entirely because Guan Yu went deep into the army alone last time and was ambushed by Xu Chu, and almost destroyed the entire army. Although he finally escaped, the loss of the troops was quite large. More than 10,000 cavalry fell down and most of them were on the road. The less than 5,000 cavalry returned to Ruyang, which killed Guan Yu's mobile power.

This will fade away and the other will grow. Guan Yu became weak and Xu Chu became even more active. Xu Chu's cavalry began to activate around Ruyang, sweeping the players' troops, and completely ending the originally colorful harassment war. On the contrary, the players of Cao Cao's camp began to cooperate with Xu Chu to infiltrate Yingchuan and the western part of Runan, trying to destroy the passage from Yingchuan to Jingzhou.

The southern battlefield, which was originally in the best situation, turned the whole situation extremely passive because of Guan Yu's mistake, and Ruyang almost became an isolated island in the sea. Pang Yuan was very dissatisfied with this situation, and Guan Yu was not satisfied with this situation.

"Military Pang, I think we should attack. If we are trapped in the city, we cannot change the current passive situation. Or if Military Pang has other ways, we might as well listen."

Pang Yuan shook his fan, looked up at the map on the hanger, and turned his head to look at Guan Yu when he heard this. Seeing Guan Yu squinted his eyes and looked at him. Pang Yuan turned his face away indifferently, and looked at Guan Ping, who looked a little embarrassed next to him. He felt a little funny. Guan Yu didn't know how to be ashamed, but Guan Ping felt ashamed for his father!

In the final analysis, the current situation is caused by Guan Yu's greed for merit and unwillingness to obey commands. But now Guan Yu not only does not learn a lesson, but he actually makes an active attack. This army with less than 50,000 in Ruyang City takes the initiative to attack? Chen County? Stable and strong?

If you can attack or not, once Guan Yu's army leaves the city, will Cao Cao be moved to the empty Ruyang?

Also, the cavalry of Guan Yu Army has not been supplemented now. The mobility is relatively poor, and the ability to fight against cavalry is also relatively poor. There happened to be a powerful cavalry outside Ruyang City. If the attack direction is stable and strong, it may be attacked by Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry.

Therefore, it is not a good idea to take the initiative to attack. The best way is to wait until the replenished cavalry arrives and lure Xu Chu's troops to change the current passive situation in one fell swoop. Or to lead Cao Cao to attack Ruyang and rely on Ruyang's Jiancheng to kill Cao's army in large numbers. Pang Yuan has not been able to hold his troops in the past period, just waiting for the replenished cavalry. Of course, he also hopes that Cao Cao will be confused and will take the initiative to attack Ruyang.

Although the situation is passive, Pang Yuan did nothing. He still kept sending missions to avoid Xu Chu as much as possible. He attacked the western and northern lines, and could not defeat your regular army, but these players were enough to attack the player troops and ordinary villages in the opposite camp, making it impossible for the normal production and life of Cao Cao's territory to proceed.

Of course, Pang Yuan could not completely ignore Guan Yu's words. After all, Guan Yu's identity was there. If he didn't give him face and could not come to Taiwan, the consequences would not be very wonderful!

"Second General, I'm at a loss now. How do you think we should take the initiative to break the deadlock in front of us?"

"I understand the idea of ​​the military advisor. It's nothing more than waiting for the arrival of cavalry reinforcements. But the cavalry is not so easy to get. Without a month's plan, it's impossible to think about it. But now the enemy is infiltrating the western part of Yingchuan. If we cannot effectively curb Cao's plan, the passage in Jingzhou may be cut off, which is very unfavorable to our army. It is probably impossible for the military advisor to wait blindly and act inaction."

Guan Yu's words were a little coercive. Guan Ping, who was standing aside, felt a little anxious when he heard it, but in front of his father, Guan Ping did not dare to overtake the slightest. Fortunately, Pang Yuan was well-educated and did not care about Guan Yu's rude questioning at all. He still shook the fan with a smile, and did not even make the rhythm mess.

"Oh, I understand the words of the second general. I just need to make a difference and not be caught by others, right?"

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his eyebrows also stood up, but Pang Yuan didn't care at all, and Guan Yu was helpless. He was really scratching his head when dealing with these strange people!

"There is no problem of not having a handle. It is just that for the sake of the entire battle situation, we should make a difference. We cannot cause the collapse of the entire battle situation because of our poor combat!"

"Okay, it's OK. The second general means to do our best to restrain the troops on the southern line of Cao's army before the cavalry is replenished, right?"

"Yes! So you have to attack, there is no way to pose a threat to Cao's army in the city."

"I know! Then the second general, where is the best place for our attack? Can we try our best to restrain Cao's army?"

"Of course it is a place that can form a threat. Can we attack Chenxian and Wenqiang?"

Pang Yuan smiled and said, "What does the second general mean by Xiping Fortress?"

Guan Yu nodded: "That is, Xiping Fortress has important significance to Cao's army and is the key point of maintaining the logistics line of the southern line. Moreover, Xiping Fortress is not large in size and does not have many garrisons. Although it is a copycat and the attack is somewhat unfavorable, it is not impossible to capture it."

Pang Yuan nodded and asked with a smile: "So how does the second general plan to deal with possible reinforcements, such as Xu Chu's cavalry?"

Guan Yu smiled confidently and said, "Can infantry defeat the cavalry?"

"That depends on whether Xu Chu will cooperate with you!"

"I'm attacking Xiping, and he can't save him."

"Where are the defenders in Xiping City attacking? Under the front and back attacks, the two generals are also sure of winning?"

"have!"

Pang Yuan was stunned for a moment. Guan Yu's self-confidence was a little too strong. Facing the enemy's front and back attacks, with Xu Chu and Cao Hong leading the army, he would have less than 50,000 infantry and cavalry, and he still had full confidence to win, which was a bit strange.

"Oh? Why is the second general so confident?"

"Because there is a military advisor here! Can the military advisor delay Xu Chu's attack? In that kind of mountainous situation?"

"If it's not long, it should be fine!"

"Is it okay for a moment?"

Pang Yuan knew Guan Yu’s plan. He wanted to use Tian Ji to race horses, and first wipe out Cao Hong who had left the city with Guan Ping, and then turn around and siege Xu Chu. If Cao Hong dared not leave the city, then Guan Yu would attack Xu Chu first.

This plan is still feasible, but it is a complete military adventure. If you win a big victory in Xiping Fortress, then Guan Yu can still turn around and regain Ruyang. If you lose or just win miserably, even Ruyang will be lost. Guan Yu has to go back home. The offensive on the southern front will inevitably end completely and become a passive defensive situation.

"Second General, you are taking risks. Once you fail, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"The consequence is that the southern line will return to its pre-war situation. At worst, it will be over again!"

"Haha, it's OK to have started again, but can Xuchang still last until the second general comes back? I dare not make a decision on this matter. If the second general thinks it is feasible, the second general can directly ask Lord Liu for instructions. If Lord Liu decides, he will naturally not object!"

Guan Yu pondered for a moment, looked at Pang Yuan with a bad look, suddenly stood up, and sneered: "I understand, the military advisor is careful! Well, I will ask my elder brother for a fight. At that time, the military advisor will not be pushing and hindering!"

"I dare not, Lord Liu's orders will naturally obey!"

....................................

Liu Bei was very shaking his head when he received Guan Yu's request for battle. He knew why Guan Yu took the risk, because Guan Yu couldn't stand his face. Now that the ship had capsized under the great situation in the south, Guan Yu had to take responsibility for his mistakes. In order to save the passive situation he caused, Guan Yu came up with this risky plan that forced the opponent's cavalry to fight him.

This matter was not asked by Pang Yuan to fight above. Obviously, Pang Yuan did not agree with this plan, but due to Guan Yu's face, Pang Yuan could not directly reject the request, and finally sent the problem back to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei thought about it all night, but finally decided to agree to Guan Yu's request for battle. First of all, he also wanted to take a fight. Guan Yu is now unable to fail, and the so-called "worry soldiers will win, so Guan Yu may create a miracle. If Guan Yu's adventure is successful, the situation in Xuchang will be greatly alleviated, and Cao Cao must readjust the situation.

Secondly, Liu Bei must also consider the brotherly feelings, at least to show the brotherly feelings to outsiders. This is an image issue. Of course, he also considers Guan Yu's emotions.

The next night, Guan Yu, regardless of whether Pang Yuan was resting, threw Liu Bei's orders in front of Pang Yuan.

Pang Yuan took it and said nothing. He immediately ordered the preparation to go to war, and at the same time issued a mission to the players, harassing and delaying Xu Chu's cavalry troops, and gaining time for Guan Yu's war.

Guan Yu excitedly ordered his troops and left the city overnight and ran towards the Xiping Fortress. Liu Bei's reply happened to be the time when Guan Yu's sudden launch also conformed to the sudden principle. The exit from the city in the middle of the night made the Cao army's intelligence system slow down half a beat. When Guan Yu's troops were under the Xiping Fortress, Xu Chu's troops were still twenty or thirty miles away, which gave Guan Yu time to calmly arrange the battlefield.

When Xu Chu arrived in a hurry, Guan Yu had already built fortifications on the mountain road behind him. A large number of downpole and traps blocked the road. Heavy crossbow positions, catapults and giant crossbows were arranged on the hillsides on both sides, and a stance was set up to block Xu Chu tightly and strive to break through Xiping first.
