——"The order is passed down from my command, and I will take charge personally to defeat Fancheng within fifteen days, and Xiangyang within twenty days!"

——"Guan Ping is the left vanguard, Liao Hua is the right vanguard, Wang Fu is joining the army, and I will lead the army to suppress the formation. It is bound to capture Xiangfan and control Jingzhou before Cao Yu arrives in Jingzhou!"

Guan Yu ordered loudly.

"Here!"

"Here!"

Guan Ping, Liao Hua, Wang Fu and others responded with their hands.

But Ma Liang was the only one with a gloomy face...who didn't comment on Guan Yu's order.

"Do you think Ji Chang thinks that my command is inappropriate?"

Guan Yu still held his head high. He was a proud man. Once he issued a military order, he could not be questioned.

"It's not inappropriate..." Ma Liang respectfully handed over his hand, "but...if our army takes the initiative to attack, our army's food and fodder can only last for ten days...and the baggage and ordnance required for the siege have not been delivered yet!"

You must know that the food and grass consumed in the city are not the same as the food consumed during the siege.

It is no exaggeration to say that during the siege, in order to ensure that the soldiers had sufficient physical strength, the daily rations needed to be twice the usual...

But even so...

Guan Yu looked surprised and said in disbelief: "Didn't Your Majesty assign Liu Feng to be in charge of transporting grain, and Meng Da and Mi Fang to be in charge of transporting ordnance? I just saw them outside the tent!"

"Your Majesty..." Ma Liang said truthfully: "The three of them are here, but... they only brought half of the food and grass, and very few weapons and baggage?"

"boom…"

As Ma Liang's voice fell, Guan Yu punched the table...

"Why? Why only half? My eldest brother trusts them, so he entrusts them with such an important task! But they..."

"Your Majesty..." Ma Liang was about to say a few words of advice, and also explained the reasons for Meng Da, Mi Fang and Liu Feng.

Can…

Guan Yu didn't give him a chance to speak at all. "Come here, take Liu Feng, Meng Da, and Mi Fang, each with fifty military sticks, and escort them to see me..."

this…

Ma Liang was confused. At the critical moment of the battle between the two armies, logistics officials were given heavy responsibility, which would cause great hidden dangers.

"Your Majesty..." Ma Liang quickly advised: "Liu Feng is your majesty's adopted son, Mi Fang is the uncle of the dynasty, and Meng Da also made great achievements when your majesty entered Shu. What's more... they are now carrying grain.

The heavy burden of transporting baggage and equipment... fifty army sticks, how can we escort them again!"

"What's more, Bashu is thousands of miles away from Jingzhou, and the grain road has just been opened. It coincides with the heavy rains in recent days...The Yangtze River dams have also been washed away in many places...This time, the transportation of grain and military supplies is not good, and it is not entirely their fault!"

Ma Liang's words made Guan Yu pause for a moment. He closed his eyes slightly and thought slowly for a moment.

"Fifty military sticks are a bit too much. Let's change the military sticks for these three people to thirty!"

Ma Liang still wanted to persuade, but Guan Yu reached out to stop him, and he changed the topic: "Now we only have ten days of food, right? Then let the three of them...send all the remaining food, grass, and military supplies within ten days! If you can't do that,

, I don’t care about their identities, I just slapped them on the head with military law!”

——"Besides, the plan to send troops to the north remains unchanged! Capture Fancheng within ten days!"

this…

Ma Liang frowned, his throat was choked.

"Here..."

Liao Hua, Wang Fu, Guan Ping and others around them accepted the order.

just like…

Now, with the great victory over Flooded Jiangling, Cao Wei suffered his first defeat...Cao Yu's immortal golden body was broken, which made everyone feel extra confident!

…

…

Hanzhong, within the government office.

The melodious sound of the piano sounded, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes gentle and sometimes urgent, just like...a gurgling trickle of a stream, or pouring down like a waterfall.

However, it is not difficult to detect a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere in the entire tune.

This is Guo Jia playing the qin... He has changed the image of "Jiu Mengzi" in the past, he is actually playing the qin...

After the song was played, Lu Yu, the only audience member, couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded.

"Miss Zhen Jiang is very talented. She actually allowed Feng Xiao to play the piano in addition to his hobby of drinking... It's amazing, it's amazing..."

What Lu Yu means is...your wife has trained her well.

Guo Jia stood up slowly, "I just learned it soon, it's quite simple... This is why after we divided the ownership of the five daughters of the Zhen family, I wanted to 'betray' and bring this daughter of the Zhen family into the house no matter what.

Talented women are so fascinating!”

hehe…

Lu Yu thought to himself, you Guo Fengxiao may have misjudged you sometimes. In terms of talent... the youngest daughter of the Zhen family, Zhen Ji, is a talented woman in the world. She has poetry and books in her belly, but... she may not be as sentimental as Zhen Jiang...

Lu Yu understands that Fengxiao likes people who are sentimental.

"The music is cheerful, and it looks like... Fengxiao is in a good mood!" Lu Yu said with emotion.

Guo Jia glanced sideways at Lu Yu, "I think His Majesty is in a good mood today..."

"Everything goes well with the plan, of course I'm in a good mood!" Lu Yu was the first to mention the wine bottle.

Guo Jia, big and small, snatched it away, "Your Majesty must be feeling uncomfortable with so many things on his mind, so just... I, Guo Jia, will be a good person today. I will ask, and Your Majesty will answer it!"

"

Guo Jia is the only one in the world who dares to act like this in front of Lu Yu.

"You ask?"

Lu Yu didn't mind at all.

Guo Jia paused for a moment, sorted out the order of the questions, and then immediately said: "Your Majesty used to raise suspicions, but did not actually go to conquer Guan Yu in person? Why is this?"

Lu Yu had been holding back these answers buried in his heart for a long time. He didn't expect that being an emperor also requires him to be calm.

But it doesn't matter today, he and Guo Jia are the only two people in this huge government office.

"Because... if I don't go to the expedition myself, then Lu Xun will defend to the death, and all the generals in Jiangdong can also use their lives. What's more, I sent Ma Chao to Xiliang to rush for reinforcements, and even sent Cheng Yu to go secretly. There are strong reinforcements from outside, and we will work hard

Hold on, and with Lu Xun's coordination, Xiangfan will not fall so easily! If I go there in person... it will make me feel guilty. If I sit in Hanzhong, it will show that we still have sufficient troops. Firstly, we can deter Liu Bei, and secondly, we can be more powerful.

Motivating our soldiers at the front! The effect is much better than if I go there in person! Therefore, even if the defenders know that it is not me who rushes to help, they will be overjoyed..."

Lu Yu's words made Guo Jia nodded repeatedly.

He knew all this and just wanted to induce Lu Yu to talk about it. He was holding many things in his heart and felt uncomfortable!

"Any more questions?" Lu Yu asked back.

"Yes!" Guo Jia smiled slightly, looking at the location of Jiangling in Jingzhou on the map, and continued to ask: "Why is Your Majesty so sure that Guan Yu will devote all his strength to the Northern Expedition? What if... if he claims to attack the east and attack the west, it is a southern expedition? His purpose

It’s the four counties in Jingnan, so what should we do?”

"Hahaha…"

Hearing this question, Lu Yu smiled, "I know Guan Yu better than Feng Xiao. His only weakness is the word 'arrogance'. He is too arrogant. Not to mention now, even five years ago, he looked down on the entire country.

The general of Wei had been holding back for five years, which made him forgetful. The flooding of Jiangling made him forget everything. Such an arrogant opponent... he has ten thousand weaknesses, not to mention... often the most gorgeous flowers are from them.

It’s starting to rot internally!”

Well…

Lu Yu's words seemed to have other meanings, which Guo Jia did not expect.

Immediately, he asked curiously: "What is the 'inside' your Majesty refers to?"

"Didn't Liu Bei send Guan Yu, Liu Feng, Meng Da, and Mi Fang? This is the rotten inside!"

When he said this, a ray of light flashed in Lu Yu's eyes.

Extremely dazzling…

It seemed that just because of the mention of these three people, Lu Yu's confidence increased.

As for the reason, this is because others don't know, but Lu Yu knows that these three... are three traps!

In fact, there is another person in history, Fu Shiren. Of course, this man from Guangyang County, Youzhou, was not the most deceitful general who followed Liu Bei from the beginning.

Now Liu Bei has not sent him to Jingzhou.

But living up to expectations, the three "trustworthy" people Liu Bei sent could still only be Liu Feng, Meng Da, and Mi Fang...

It is easier to gain Liu Bei's trust if you are a relative or a hero who entered Shu.

It's just that... Liu Bei in history never expected that
