At this moment... he stood up proudly, his armor shining brightly.

He smiled contemptuously and said: "Haha, Jingjiang was defeated in the previous battle, and all the costs paid were worth it. After all, even if he is as strong as Guan Yu, there is also a moment of negligence!"

"Hahaha..." Man Chong breathed a long sigh of relief, and he quickly said: "The troops and horses in Xiangyang City are all under the command of General Wen. If we can burn Guanyun Chang's two hundred warships, then the situation in Xiangfan will be stable.

Stay here...the morale of the soldiers will be greatly boosted. In this way, there will be hope for ushering through this dry season!"

Soldiers have no constant momentum, water has no constant shape...

The most fearful thing about the battlefield situation is not the few soldiers or generals, but the hope.

Just imagine, Guan Yu's Guan family army was invincible during the high water period.

The officers and soldiers of Cao's army looked forward to the stars and the moon because the dry season was coming.

But now, let alone the high water period, because the side carriages, the crossbows... even in the dry season, Cao Jun's cavalry can't defeat them.

So what hope is there? Is there any hope for garrisoning in Xiangfan?

And once... there is no hope?

Where does the military spirit come from? Where does the morale come from?

How come the unity of thousands of people is so powerful that it can cut through gold!

But... if the two hundred warships of Guan Jiajun were burned, it would be different. The advantage of Guan Jiajun in the "rising period" would instantly turn back to a disadvantage.

On the other hand, Cao's soldiers, their weakness has turned into an advantage, and they will look forward to the arrival of the "rising water period".

The long-lost hope, the long-lost morale...are they all back?

This is an action that affects the whole body. This is an action that can turn the tide.

For a moment, Man Chong's tone became a little nervous.

"Vice-General Niu Jin has ordered the cavalry, and he can follow General Wen to Fuhu Mountain immediately..."

"Wait a minute!" In sharp contrast to Man Chong's anxiety was Wen Pin's calmness.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until dark!" Wenpin's eyes tightly condensed, not daring to be careless at all, "Manfu Lord, you must remember that our opponent is Guan Yu, General Lian Tianren, and even Prime Minister Cao

To be afraid of people, any negligence may lead to the annihilation of the entire army and put Xiangfan in danger!"

this…

Man Chong pursed his lips, and he suddenly understood why he had to wait for the dark night.

In the dark night…

Their actions are not easily discovered;

In the dark night, Guan Yu would misjudge the true purpose of their actions;

In the dark night, can...

Before Man Chong could think of it until the end, Wen Pin's words came out again.

This time it's a reminder.

——"Manfu Lord, never forget your mission!"

"I remember..." Man Chong's expression was quite serious, and his tone was even more meticulous. "I will closely observe the Guan family army camp where the sidecars, serial crossbows, wooden cows and horses are stored... If the ship catches fire and they send troops to rescue, I will

…”

"-Shh!"

Before Man Chong could finish what he said, Wen Pin immediately raised his index finger, indicating that there was no need to say more.

This action is destined to kill two birds with one stone.

In Wenpin's design, Guan Yu could not remain indifferent if the warship caught fire.

After leading the army to return reinforcements, the three military strongholds will inevitably be empty.

At that time, it was Man Chong's chance to swoop in and kidnap the "Partial Cart", "Liannu", and "Wooden Ox and Horse". This was the only chance to take back the "artifact" and reverse the offensive and defensive momentum!

He wants to burn this ship...

He also wants to seize this batch of ordnance!

No one can be missing!

…

…

Jingzhou, inside Jiangling City.

It was the first time that Ma Liang saw such a persistent side of Mi Fang. There was deep obsession and determination in his eyes.

Ma Liang didn't know... how Yun Qi allowed a prefect to do such a great job for him.

But... what Ma Liang knows is that when it comes to building a new city.

Guan Lin has found a solid and reliable comrade-in-arms.

"——Ji Chang, regarding the matter of building a new city before... you didn't speak for me either!"

"——Tell me...I...Is it easy for me?"

"——He Yun Chang... The Northern Expedition often requires me to spend more than 100,000 hu of grain to build a new city, which directly costs more than 400,000 gold. I, Mi Fang, will become a rooster that lays golden eggs. I will lay a hundred of them every day.

Golden eggs are not enough to build a new city!"

"——I...I...I...it's not easy for me!"

This was the third time that Guan Yu had left, and Mi Fang found Ma Liang to complain to him.

now…

That's how Ma Liang felt.

——"I beg you, stop reading...let me be quiet..."

Ma Liang forced himself to calm down. He still had his own things to do. He looked at the map on the table.

These are the three camps set up by Guan Yu...

In fact, this layout had already been imprinted on Ma Liang's mind, so much so that Ma Liang quite admired Guan Gong's strategy.

He muttered:

——"It seems that Guan Gong set up three military strongholds with repeated crossbows, side carriages, wooden oxen and stray horses as bait. This is to imitate Master Yunqi's method of luring snakes out of their holes in Sunset Valley!"

"Ji Chang..."

Mi Fang started reading again...

He was planning to... start a new round of his offensive.

Without Guan Yu, he only had one goal: to convince Ma Liang...

This is very important to his "money making", ah, money-making plan.

At this moment, Wang Fu, one of Guan Yu's lieutenants, walked in and quickly handed a letter to Ma Liang.

"Ji Chang, this is an urgent message from General Liao Hua from Changsha... It is said that the Fourth Young Master has something to report to Guan Gong urgently." Wang Fu explained, "Because the carrier pigeon needs to be replaced in Jiangling, I specially removed it and asked

Ji Chang, do you want to take a look in advance?"

this…

Logically speaking, Ma Liang should not read the urgent message sent by Liao Hua to Guan Yu.

But unfortunately, Yun Qi was mentioned, and Ma Liang suddenly became very interested...

I was hesitant to open it and take a look first.

However, Mi Fang grabbed it and opened it while talking.

"Let me see if Yun Qi persuaded his father to build a new city!"

Mi Fang opened the letter and read it out immediately.

——"Guan Gong personally invites you, to make a long story short, the four young masters said that the thieves will hire Wen... they will definitely send out surprise troops, attack Fuhu Mountain at night, and burn the warships..."

Thinking of this, Mi Fang scratched her head and said, "It's so good, why don't you attack a military stronghold? What about a night attack on Fuhu Mountain? What did Yun Qi think of this?"

What is said is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Ma Liang squinted his eyes and repeated, "Surprise attack on Fuhu Mountain and burn the warships!"...

etc…

Ma Liang suddenly realized something.

It's a good thing that he didn't repeat the word "Yun Qi". Once he repeated it, his eyes widened in vain. Before Mi Fang could continue to read it, he said loudly.

"——No? No! It was indeed... a surprise attack on Fuhu Mountain and burning the warship!"

Ma Liang seemed to realize something all of a sudden.
To be continued...
