Lu Xun stood in the forest and looked far away in the direction of Fancheng. He could only see that outside Fancheng, a soldier was slowly moving towards the outside.

Not long after, a soldier came to report, "I can see clearly from a distance. The prefect of Fancheng Cao Ren personally took charge of the central army. He followed the army out of the city."

When Lu Xun heard the news, he smiled and said, "Mr. Yuanzhi used this plan to earn Cao Ren out of the city. Now Cao Ren not only led his troops out personally, but also took away most of the troops in Fancheng. In this way, Fancheng has nowhere to be defended."

Just as he was right, a young man in silver armor beside him suddenly spoke, "Brother-in-law, Cao Ren has come out now, will we attack the city immediately?"

When Lu Xun heard this, he turned his head and said to the young man, "Don't be anxious. It's now that Cao Ren has not gone far enough. If he attacks the city now, he may be provoked to return to rescue him. Therefore, he will wait for him to go far and attack the city again.

"When looking at the boy's slightly tender face again, Lu Xun remembered the scene when he advanced a few days ago.

Half a month ago, Guan Yu suddenly gathered the civil and military officials in Jingzhou to gather in Xiangyang. When everyone arrived, he said to the civil and military officials: "The King of Hanzhong sent an order and led an army to first seize Fancheng, and then advanced to Wancheng.

"Seeing that Xu Shu and Lu Xun were both about to speak, they said, "The King of Hanzhong is here, you can watch it yourself."

As soon as this statement was made, Xu Shu and Lu Xun both stopped talking about it.

Just because they both thought that Guan Yu could no longer bear it, they wanted to advance by themselves. Now that the king had arrived, they knew that the King of Hanzhong had already arranged all preparations for the Northern Expedition, so they sent someone to order Jingzhou to ask Guan Yu to lead his troops to attack Fancheng.

Since this is the case, the two of them are no longer trying to stabilize Guan Yu and advise him to stop advancing. Instead, they become assisting Guan Yu and helping him attack Fancheng.

Seeing that no one said anything again, Guan Yu assigned tasks and asked Xu Shu to be the staff officer of the army. He sent Guan Ping and Liao Hua as the vanguard, personally led Lu Xun and Zhou Cang to take charge of the army.

At that time, Hu Hua's son Hu Ban came to join him. Guan Yu felt his feelings for saving each other in the past, so he appointed him as a deputy general, led the rear army, and the governor followed the military food and grass.

Ma Liang was also ordered to stay in Xiangyang, and Fu Shiren was responsible for transporting grain. Wenpin was also responsible for Jiangling. Although he was controlled by Guan Yu, he did not need to follow his orders, so he was not in Xiangyang at this time.

After this arrangement, a young man with silver armor and white robe suddenly broke into the hall and knelt in front of Guan Yu. Guan Yu looked at it, and it was his son Guan Xing, so he asked, "What's my son here?"

Guan Xing replied, "I heard that my father wanted to lead the army north to attack Wei, and I was willing to go with my father. But I asked my father to take my son as the vanguard, and decided to clear the road between Cao soldiers for my father, and ask my father to sit in the central army all the way."

Guan Yu touched his long beard and asked as if he was not caring: "How old is my son this year?"

Guan Xing was stunned when he heard this. But he didn't understand why his father suddenly asked about this. He just replied respectfully: "I am seventeen years old this year, and I will be eighteen years old after winter."

Guan Yu nodded and said, "Do you think you can kill the enemy in the battle formation?"

Guan Xing replied: "The generals of the Cao army do not need their father to do it. My son will kill him for his father!"

Everyone in the hall, hearing this, didn't care. They only said the crazy words of a child from Huangkou, but Guan Yu laughed and said, "It's really a tiger son. Since my son wants to follow the army, I will lead you with you for my father.

If Xing'er made military achievements on the battlefield, he would be the father and would be the tribute to my son in advance."

Guan Xing was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed, then got up, stood beside Lu Xun, and said to Lu Xun softly: "Brother-in-law, you always say that I am still young. My father will definitely not allow me to go to the army to go to war. Have you miscalculated this time?"

Lu Xun refused to answer when he heard this, but just looked ahead, as if he didn't hear it. However, he ignored it, Guan Xing kept muttering around him, but now he said again: "I must make a contribution this time so that my father can celebrate me."

"Lu Xun turned around when he heard this. He said seriously: "Above the battle formation, it is changing rapidly, and it is not a joke. Xing'er should not be careless. If you lose your life because of this, don't talk about Guanli, you may not even be intact. "

Seeing Lu Xun's serious face and knew that what he said was not false, Guan Xing hurriedly replied: "Xing understands, thank you brother-in-law for your teachings."

Seeing that Guan Xing had heard it, Lu Xun nodded and said in his heart: "Fortunately, although Xing'er has the arrogance of his father, he is not as unhelpful as his father's advice. I think that his future achievements should be above his father.

"But then he thought, Guan Yu's reputation was all gained from troubled times. If the King of Hanzhong succeeded in the Northern Expedition, his strength would be achieved. I am afraid that Guan Xing would not be able to replicate his father's achievements in the future.

After all, Guan Yu helped Liu Bei rise step by step from absolute weakness.

Thinking of this, Lu Xun had to sigh that opportunities and the times also had a great impact on a person's achievements. While he was thinking about it here, Guan Yu had already arranged everything in Jingzhou.

At this time, we were discussing with the civil and military officials how to take Fancheng.

When Lu Xun was discussing this matter, he hurriedly listened attentively. At that time, Xu Shu went out to lure the enemy away and stole the plan of Fancheng. Guan Yu followed him and asked the top leader: "Who is willing to go?"

Before he finished speaking, Liao Hua and others wanted to leave the shift to ask for a fight, but they didn't expect Lu Xun to move the fastest. He waited for a while and waited for this moment. He heard Guan Yu ask a question and immediately said, "Young Son-in-law is willing to go!" After saying this, he took a step and stood up.

Guan Yu originally said that the person who came out of the rank was Liao Hua or Guan Ping, but he didn't expect that it was Lu Xun. So he was a little surprised and stunned for a while, then said: "Bo Yan wants to do something, but he has no way to accept it."

But although Bo Yan is good at planning, he is not good at fighting and fighting. He will help you walk with another battle."

Before he could finish his words, he heard two loud shouts from the hall, saying, "I am willing to help General Lu go with me." Guan Yu turned his head and saw that the forward Liao Hua and Sima Wangfu both came out of the team.

Guan Yu looked around and said, "Yuan Jian, I have other responsibilities, and now I will follow Bo Yan and his actions on Guoshan."

Wang Fu was overjoyed and shouted, "I got the order!" and then retreated to the line. But he stood back to the line. Only then did he hear Guan Xing come out and say, "Since my father wants his brother-in-law to attack Fancheng, he is willing to go with him."

Guan Yu thought about it and found that there was no danger in taking Fancheng, and he could also ask Guan Xing to get familiar with the real battlefield. He nodded and responded: "Xing'er is here to follow Bo's arrangements, and you must not be naughty and erratic. Otherwise, you will be engaged in military law!"

Guan Xing said: "I can reflect on myself!"

The distribution was decided. After three days of the decision, the troops were advanced, and at the same time, they wrote a letter and sent it to Chengdu, and then they dispersed.

Three days later, Guan Yu led the army to head straight to Fancheng.

As soon as the army left Xiangyang, several cavalry chased after him. He led the first young general in silver armor and headed straight for Guan Yu's horse in the central army. Guan Yu saw clearly that the person coming was Deng Ai. He also ordered his left and right to make way out and let him approach.

Deng Ai ran to Guan Yu and immediately got off his horse and said, "Just as soon as he returned to Xiangyang, he heard that his father wanted to lead his army north, so he rushed over and wanted to go with his father and serve his side." It turned out that Deng Ai was sent by Guan Yu to inspect various places.

Just after returning to Xiangyang, he heard that Guan Yu had allocated troops, gathered civil and military personnel, and led his troops to Fancheng. He immediately asked about where the army was going. He led Sanwu to come up with the cavalry.

Guan Yu said, "My son is willing to go, just follow me." He ordered the army to move again, but among the generals around him, there was another adopted son Deng Ai.

Shi Deng Ai looked around and then asked Zhou Cang in a low voice: "I heard it first.

My brother Guan Xing also followed the army, why didn't he see him? Could it be that he took the vanguard position with my brother?" It turned out that he had searched for a while but did not see Guan Xing, but said that Guan Xing was with Guan Ping and acted as the vanguard of the army.

When Zhou Cang heard Deng Aiyan, he replied, "The third young master led another army with General Lu Xun." At this time, Guan Yu had four sons and one daughter. The eldest son and second son were both adopted sons. Although Deng Ai had not changed his surname, he was a middle-aged man in Jingzhou.

Everyone knows that he is the second son of the Guan family. The third son and the fourth son are their own flesh and blood. The third son Guan Xing went on a war for the first time this time. The fourth son Guan Suo was still young at this time and did not come out together.

The other daughter is Guan Feng, who is married to Lu Xun and is now waiting for childbirth at home. When she heard that her father, husband, brother and younger brother all followed the army to the north, she said angrily: "It's a pity that I'm pregnant. Otherwise, I would be like Mrs. Xue. She would go to the battlefield with her family.

”…

Lu Xun, the army, fell behind alone. When he approached Fancheng, he hid in the morning and left at night, and was cautious all the way, and finally sneaked outside Fancheng.

Then he found a hidden place and set up a large village. Lu Xun took his people to the high places to check the situation in Fancheng every day. He waited until this day, all the soldiers and horses of Fancheng came out. Lu Xun ordered the entire army to rest for a long time. After only two days, Cao Ren walked far away and then attacked the city.

Besides, Chengdu has been busy since receiving the documents of Jingzhou's fast horses. Guan Yu's army has moved, but the soldiers and horses in Sichuan can no longer be idle and must be mobilized immediately.

After receiving Guan Yu's letter, Liu Bei, King of Hanzhong, immediately gathered civil and military officials to discuss the Northern Expedition. It was not until this time that Liu Bei made it clear for the first time: I want to fight the Northern Expedition!

Although his subordinates had already vaguely guessed, the King of Hanzhong did not say whether it was a Northern Expedition, because military mobilization in the territory was a very normal behavior. As for the mobilization of food and grass, the army had transferred over, wouldn't it be possible to transfer some food and grass?

Liu Bei recruited everyone this time, rather than discussing it, it was better to assign tasks appropriately. But that day, when Liu Bei saw all the civil and military personnel arrive, he immediately said, "I have ordered my second brother Yun Chang to lead the troops from Jingzhou out of Xiangyang and advance to Nanyang."

Gu also wanted to lead the army in person and go out to Xichuan to echo the troops in Jingzhou. In addition, the Marquis of Wu had already agreed and was willing to raise all the troops in Jiangdong, advance to Huainan, and jointly attack Cao Wei.

The soldiers, horses, food and grass in Sichuan have been prepared, and Gu wanted to lead military advisor Pang to accompany him and leave military advisor Zhuge to take charge of Chengdu. As for the specific tasks of each place, military advisor Zhuge now explains them in detail to the ministers. "After saying that, Zhuge Liang asked him to assign tasks.

Zhuge Liang stood beside Liu Bei and assigned all the affairs properly.

First, he followed Zhang Fei, Zhang Yi, Pang De, Huang Zhong and other dozens of generals and many staff members to the north to join Ma Chao's army stationed in Qishan. Then the army left Qishan Avenue and headed straight to Longyou.

Then he ordered Xue Bing and Zhao Yun to go to Hanzhong with the orders to control the troops and horses of Hanzhong. When the time is right, the troops will go out of the silence valley. This is a means to confuse everyone.

In fact, after Xue Bing and Zhao Yun arrived in Hanzhong, the command of the Hanzhong soldiers and horses was still handed over to Wei Yan. And the two of them immediately met with Wang Ping's soldiers and horses that had been prepared in Hanzhong.

In addition, we arranged in detail who is responsible for food and grass, who is responsible for public security in Sichuan, etc. After everything is settled, everyone dispersed and went busy.

Xue Bing said to Zhao Yun, "Now I will go home and say goodbye to my family. After an hour, you and I will be able to get together from the East City Gate and go straight to Hanzhong." Zhao Yun responded and went straight to his house and returned.
