Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 6: Saving Guan Yu, Liu Feng's Deployment
Just when Shen Dan thought that Liu Feng was unwilling to attend the banquet as a witness, Liu Feng slowly spoke: "Originally I didn't want to interfere in Shen Zhengbei's family affairs, but Shen Zhengbei was so honest with me, I can't disappoint Shen Zhengbei's feelings."

"I will attend the banquet in person tomorrow to congratulate Shen Zhengbei and his daughter on their reunion."

Liu Feng's answer finally put Shen Dan at ease.

Just don't blame!

Although I am the prefect of Shangyong, I cannot afford to offend anyone in Shangyong.

Thinking about having to entertain Meng Da later, Shen Dan's mood became unhappy.

Although Shen Dan was a local nobleman in Shangyong, he had to succumb to the overwhelming situation.

Kuai Qi's "death in the chaos of war" made Shen Dan very wary of Meng Da.

After chatting for a few words.

Liu Feng took Tian Qi away from Shen Dan's prefectural mansion.

Shen Dan has to host a banquet for Meng Da today, so it would be inappropriate for Liu Feng to stay here.

Moreover.

Liu Feng also had more important things to do.

After awakening his memory, Liu Feng immediately sent cavalry scouts to gather weather information from the cities along the Han River.

Although Guan Yu would flood the Seven Armies in August, it is difficult to determine exactly when Liu Feng would flood the Seven Armies.

The only thing Liu Feng could use as a reference was weather changes.

According to historical records, at that time in Fancheng "it rained heavily for more than ten days, the Han River overflowed, and the land below Fan was five or six feet high."

The flood actually reached a height of more than ten meters on the ground. This is a flood that occurs rarely in a century.

It is impossible for meteorological precipitation in Fancheng alone to cause such a severe flood.

More likely, heavy rainfall occurred throughout Fancheng and the Han River basin upstream.

As for how big this basin is and whether it also includes Shangyong, Fangling and other places, Liu Feng is not clear.

After all, Liu Feng was not an expert in astronomy and geography.

All Liu Feng could do was to use existing means to find out the weather changes in the cities along the Han River as much as possible, so as to reduce the time and geographical errors between the known information and the actual situation.

Not only that.

Liu Feng also sent the remaining cavalry to map the geography of important locations such as Fangling to Zigui and Fangling to Maicheng.

In this age without satellite maps, understanding the actual geography as best as possible is the key to defeating the enemy.

For example, on the map that Shen Dan gave to Liu Feng, it was marked that the distance from Fangling to Maicheng was about 280 miles.

Liu Feng had to send people to verify whether it was really only 280 miles, whether there was any diversion, whether the water and dry firewood along the way could support the march of the troops, whether the road would become muddy if it rained, etc.

What Liu Feng had to deal with was not only Shen Dan Meng Da and the march, but also more important decisions.

Should Guan Yu be rescued?

We must save him!

If he didn't save Guan Yu, Liu Feng might as well hang himself. Maybe he could become the amnesiac young man Liu Mangfeng again.

In this way, the pain of death was borne by the amnesiac young man Liu Mangfeng.

But how to save Guan Yu?
Go to Fancheng to help?

No.

Liu Feng rejected the idea of going to Fancheng from the very beginning.

Because this is a dead end!
Liu Feng knew very well that if the Han River had not overflowed and flooded Yu Jin's seven armies, Guan Yu would not have thought of recruiting troops from the rear of Jingzhou and even calling on troops from Shangyong to come to the rescue.

Guan Yu's original purpose was actually to launch a routine attack on Xiangfan.

Fight if you can, retreat if you can’t.

Guan Yu has attacked Xiangfan more than once or twice in recent years.

I've gotten used to it. I take advantage of opportunities when they come and run away when there aren't any.

For example, there is a man named Yang Yi, who abandoned Cao and joined Liu when Guan Yu was on a routine attack on Xiangfan. Now he has become the Shangshu under the King of Hanzhong.

But Guan Yu didn't expect that even the sky would not help Cao Cao this time. A flood gave Guan Yu an opportunity to fight.

He killed Pang De, captured Yu Jin, and got 30,000 surrendered soldiers at one time, almost wiping out all the troops deployed by Cao Ren outside Fancheng.

This flood almost destroyed Fancheng, and Cao Ren was so overwhelmed that he wanted to abandon the city and flee!

Rumors unfavorable to Cao Cao were spreading throughout the area south of Xu Du, and the bandits in Liangzha and Luhun also responded, feeling that "God is punishing Cao Cao and the Han Dynasty will rise."

For Guan Yu, this was truly like "divine help". If he didn't take advantage of the "divine help" to attack Cao Cao and expand the results of the battle, he would have missed a good opportunity.

Let alone Guan Yu.

If Liu Bei were in Fancheng, he would also want to take the opportunity to expand his victory.

Unfortunately.

Success depends on timing, failure also depends on timing.

In addition to the fact that Guan Yu did not prepare enough food and troops in advance, this great victory frightened Cao Cao and Sun Quan even more.

Just over a month after sending out his troops, Guan Yu destroyed Cao Cao's army of more than 30,000 in one battle?

Is this false information?

Originally, Lu Meng had been instilling the "Guan Yu threat theory" into Sun Quan, and Sun Quan was quite hesitant at first.

After all, Hefei is Sun Quan's pain.

If Hefei could be captured, Sun Quan would definitely give priority to taking Hefei, and then hang Zhang Liao up and announce to all the states: See who dares to call me Sun Shiwan?

As a result, Hefei was not taken, and we also heard that Guan Yu flooded seven armies and captured Yu Jin and killed Pang De in one battle.

This made Sun Quan panic, and he decided to launch a surprise attack on Jingzhou.

When Sun Quan was preparing for a surprise attack, the treacherous Cao Cao sent someone to deliver information to Guan Yu: Sun Quan is going to rob your house, you should go back and beat him up.

Then Guan Yu was in trouble.

As long as we persist a little longer, Fancheng and Xiangyang will be conquered.

As long as Mi Fang and Fu Shiren could hold out for two months, they could then lead their victorious army to the outskirts of Jiangling and defeat Sun Quan.

As a result, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren surrendered when they saw the Wu soldiers.
If Liu Feng wrote a letter to Guan Yu to remind him, could it change the situation of the war?

Liu Feng could only say helplessly: It’s difficult, too difficult!

Everything else is easy to talk about.

Mi Fang and Fu Shiren just can't get over this hurdle.

Even though the fire dragons were burning the warehouses, Guan Yu only beat up Mi Fang and Fu Shiren and still let them stay behind.

This shows that Guan Yu only questioned the two's abilities, but did not question their loyalty.

Now Liu Feng wrote a letter to Guan Yu, saying that Mi Fang and Fu Shiren might surrender when facing the Wu army.

Guan Yu would definitely slam the table and curse: How dare you, my adopted son, instigate others in front of me?

After carefully considering various plans, Liu Feng finally came to the conclusion that as long as Mi Fang was there, Jiangling City could not be saved!
Since he couldn't keep Jiangling City, Liu Feng could only settle for the next best thing.

The greatest sage of all time once said: If the people survive but the land is lost, both the people and the land survive; if the land survives but the people are lost, both the people and the land are lost.

Therefore, Liu Feng’s final plan was to abandon the city of Jingzhou and rescue Guan Yu, the great soldier.

As long as Guan Yu was saved, it would not be a big problem even if the city was lost or the troops were scattered.

When Guan Yu returned to Jiangling, his troops were defeated only because their food and grass were exhausted and the families of the soldiers were controlled by Lu Meng, not because Guan Yu did not cherish his troops.

This is exactly the same situation as when Liu Bei was ambushed by Lu Bu in Xia Pi!
When Liu Bei was ambushed by Lu Bu in Xuzhou in the past, his food and grass were exhausted, and the families of his soldiers were controlled by Lu Bu, and eventually his army was defeated.

As a result, after Liu Bei bowed to Lu Bu and returned to Xiaopei, his scattered troops secretly ran to Xiaopei to join Liu Bei. In a short period of time, Liu Bei gathered more than 10,000 people, which made Lu Bu so angry that he changed his mind and went to attack Xiaopei.

Given the precedent of Liu Bei in Xuzhou, Liu Feng naturally would not use a more complicated method with unknown effectiveness.

Only by saving Guan Yu can the changes in Jingzhou be reversed.

Only by saving Guan Yu could Liu Feng avoid hanging himself!
