1009 Each has a calculation(1/2)

   The area within thirty feet of the handsome flag has long been cleared by the guards camp.

 The governor Feng and General Guan were left alone to chat with each other.

 “I can’t make it.”

General Guan looked at the broad river, his brows furrowed slightly, his voice was soft and soft, his red lips pursed slightly, as if he was explaining, but Governor Feng could smell a bit of coquettish complaint.

Where can I find General Guan who leads an army across thousands of miles, destroys enemies like nothing, and makes thieves frightened?

“It’s okay, Xijun, you can’t do any better.”

Under the commander's banner, Governor Feng's tall body seemed to be protecting General Guan:

 “Next, let’s look at me.”

But I saw this man holding a riding whip, speaking boldly, and making a big deal.

Those who didn’t know better thought that he personally led the army and swept all the way from Yanmen to Hedong.

When General Guan heard this, his eyes turned and his lips twitched:

 “I wonder what your master’s clever plan is?”

General Guan was so majestic in front of outsiders that even the generals in the Liangzhou army were in awe.

 But now in front of Governor Feng, she did not hide her appearance as a little daughter.

 The iron cavalry traveled across thousands of miles, which sounds very powerful and exaggerated.

With the exception of the Liangzhou Army, no one else would be able to achieve such a result.

 Because behind this achievement is the strategic planning, logistics and food supplies, the unity of the soldiers and so on.

From the commander-in-chief’s planning, down to the horse-drawn transportation, to the organization of the army, and as small as a piece of dry food, they are all factors that cannot be ignored.

 It is precisely because no one else could do it that the Wei thief was caught off guard and had no time to react.

 General Guan knew very well that the more dazzling his performance in this battle was, the more powerful he was at proving his Alang.

 So in front of him, I don’t need any disguise.

 “The clever idea is gone.”

  Unaware that his image in General Guan's heart had improved, Governor Feng shook his head, "It's just force overcoming skill."

He looked at the river and asked, "Do you know how many miles it is from Pubanjin to Longmendu?"

General Guan Guan replied without thinking: "Even if it is not three hundred miles, it is not much different."

Although he has not been able to cross the river these days, as a qualified general, General Guan cannot fail to master the things that he should master.

"Three hundred miles..." Governor Feng gestured, "How many troops can Sima Yi send to defend the Three Hundred Miles river?"

“Pu Banjin has at least 20,000 troops. As for Longmen Ferry, although no news has been sent back yet, according to my estimation, it should not be less than 10,000 people.”

In addition to the two large ferries, Pubanjin and Longmendu, there are also some small ferries along the three hundred miles of river.

 Small ferry, of course, cannot allow a large army to cross the river.

  However, if one or two hundred people and horses travel in small groups, there will probably be no problem.

 So this is also the reason why there are patrols on the opposite side and beacons are built at the same time.

 “It’s almost the same number.” Governor Feng nodded, agreeing with what General Guan said.

The Wei army in Guanzhong is said to number more than 200,000, but the Han troops this time are also quite large.

 Zhuge Lao Yao can hold back Sima Yi at least 150,000 to 60,000 men.

The remaining Wei army must guard Qianxian, Chencang, Qiaoshan, and Jingshui. Now plus Hexi, there are still some scattered places.

 The other side can squeeze out 30,000 horses for defense, which is considered a serious matter.

"Thirty thousand people are enough to guard Xijun from crossing the river. But if we add the troops I brought, 30,000 people may not be enough. At least 60,000 are needed."

Feng Jishi chuckled.

The Liangzhou army that came to the east of Hedong were all cavalry, plus the Hu cavalry that General Guan surrendered along the way.

 If this is not possible, you can even bring in the farmers from Anyi and Wenxi to build up your momentum.

 At that time, there will be armies everywhere along these three hundred miles of river.

Coupled with the large number of cavalry galloping back and forth, it is enough to make the opponent exhausted, and even dragging them can bring down the other side.

No matter how powerful the opponent's general is, he can distinguish between the main force and the suspected soldiers, but if he can defend against it once or twice, can he defend against it three, four, five or six times?

As long as we are unable to defend ourselves once, once Liangzhou's fine cavalry is allowed to cross the river, let alone whether Guanzhong can be defended, it is also a question of whether the more than 200,000 Wei troops in Guanzhong can safely return to Guandong.

“Sixty thousand?” General Guan frowned, “Isn’t it too much?”

"Not much." Governor Feng looked to the south with a deep look, "Shanmen has Fenghou as its ancestor. I was born in Shanmen. When I get here, how can I not go to Fengling to worship?"

General Guan was stunned for a moment, then he immediately came to his senses and blurted out: "Fenglingdu?!"

 The so-called Feng Ling refers to the place where Feng Hou was buried.

There is a ferry there, facing Tongguan.

General Guan frowned: "But even if the army crosses from Fengling, is there still Tongguan?"

Feng Jishi said of course: "Yes, the Wei thieves think so too, so they think we won't pass through there, so naturally they won't take precautions."

 At this point, Governor Feng smiled and said, "Controlling Fenglingdu is equivalent to cutting off most of the retreat routes for the Wei thieves in Guanzhong. Do you think Cao Rui will be anxious?"

 Why is it mostly a retreat? Because there is still a Wuguan.

But taking Wuguan is much more difficult than taking Tongguan.

 Otherwise, the Weihan Ancient Road would not have become the main road connecting Guanzhong and Guandong.

“I’m afraid Sima Yi wouldn’t have thought of this, right?”

General Guan still said hesitantly, "Besides, if it's me, as long as Tongguan is not broken, what do I have to fear in Guanzhong?"

Governor Feng said in a leisurely tone:

"The person guarding the pass is Sima Yi, not Cao Rui. Even if Sima Yi is not afraid, isn't Cao Rui afraid? Besides, is Sima Yi sure that we really can't cross the river?"

With the ancient Weihan Road cut off, Cao Rui of Luoyang may have to jump around. Whether it will be Sima Yi's turn to have the final say is still a question.

 The situation on the battlefield changes instantly. If Sima Yi really wanted to be that awesome, he could predict any situation in advance.

Or under the huge pressure of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, not only can he grasp the battle situation in Guanzhong at any time, but he can even command his generals with ease on how to block the invincible General Guan Da.

Then he is really much more demonic than the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.

If this is the case, the big man lost this battle because he was inferior in skill, so it is not too unfair.

General Guan couldn’t help but smile when he heard Feng Jishi’s words. He lightly punched Feng Jishi and said angrily:

 “What are you saying about being invincible? Don’t let anyone listen to you, otherwise you’ll make a joke!”

Governor Feng laughed, held a riding crop in his hand, pointed at the river and said:

"Believe it or not, as long as the Wei thieves know that they are facing General Guan, a lot of them will have to stay awake at night?"

As he spoke, he looked at General Guan, "Don't believe it? Why not send a message to the other side in the name of General Guan and see their reaction?"

General Guan suddenly looked a little strange: "Sent it away."

"Um?"

Feng Jishi was startled and blinked, "Has Mr. Xi had any dealings with the Wei general on the opposite side?"

"That's right!" General Guan sighed and said, "I just want to discuss with the other side to give me a section of the river bank to cross the river, and then we can decide the outcome, but it's a pity that the other side didn't agree."

Looking at General Guan’s helpless look, Governor Feng couldn’t help but smile:

“General Guan’s reputation is at its peak, and the Wei thieves are afraid that they will not dare to agree.”

"I didn't agree." General Guan curled his lips and said, "I originally wanted to give them a chance to cross the border and attack, but they were actually unwilling to accept it."

"The situation in Guanzhong is getting worse and worse for the Wei thieves now. They are probably just seeking no faults, not meritorious deeds." Governor Feng smiled slightly, "It seems that I have to send a message to the other side."

 “What letter are you sending?”

 “Tell them I’m coming.”

 “The thief Feng is here?”

After Xian Yufu received another letter from the other side, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

Just one pass has already put a lot of pressure on him, and now the addition of the notorious Feng thief makes Xian Yufu feel even more stressed.

 But when he read the letter, he was a little shocked and angry: "You want to go to Fengling to offer sacrifices? What do you mean?"

  Did Feng Thief write a letter specifically to tell him that he was going to Fenglingdu?

This is……

 “It’s too much to bully others!”

Xian Yufu couldn't control his emotions, asked someone to lead the horses, and rushed to the river himself. Sure enough, he saw a group of people and horses on the other side heading south.
