Guan Yu couldn't help but think of Ma Liang's benefits. Guan Yu had gone on a war against Cao Ren and Wen Pin. When he confronted Lu Su in Yiyang, how big the troops he dispatched were 30,000.

With Ma Liang planning in the army and preparing the military's resources and supplies properly, Guan Yu never had to worry about it.

Since Liu Bei obtained Jingzhou, because of his lack of strength, he was afraid of being annexed by Sun Quan or Cao Cao, so he could only develop his military strength regardless of consequences.

During the period of governing Jingzhou, there was not much time to cultivate and nourish, especially after Liu Bei marched into Xichuan, he fought with Liu Zhang for nearly two years.

Because Liu Bei's army was a benevolent and righteous army, it did not plunder the food and grass of the people of Xichuan to support the war, and Jingzhou paid a lot of military resources and grass.

Guan Yu went to fight against Cao Cao this time, and according to Liu Bei's requirements, he wanted to show the style of a benevolent and righteous army, which was equivalent to advertising for Liu Bei and could not plunder the wealth of the local people.

It is not feasible to support the war by fighting, only the people of Jingzhou tighten their belts.

Guan Yu was surprised that the food and grass would be at its bottom so quickly!

I remembered that Ma Liang had arranged a full half year of food and grass. When Ma Liang left, all the food and grass were in place.

Guan Yu was dissatisfied with Wang Fu, and his first reaction was that Wang Fu was not well-managed and some people were greedy for food and grass!

Guan Yu couldn't get any sand in his eyes, so he went to Xinye to check the food and grass in person.

In fact, Guan Yu was wronged by Wang Fu.

Wang Fu was also very talented. He followed Ma Liang's method in managing food and grass, and was very strict. The reason why the food and grass warning was so quickly was because Guan Yu had recruited 30,000 bandits and his total strength reached 80,000.

At the beginning, Ma Liang prepared food and grass for 50,000 people for half a year, and Guan Yu was also preparing to end the war within half a year, so naturally he had no worries about food and grass.

But before going to the expedition, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren were poorly managed and drank alcohol in the military camp, causing fire to cause food and grass, burning off food and grass for almost a month.

After Guan Yu captured Xinye, because Cao Ren and Man Chong were prepared to retreat, no food and grass were left in the city.

If Guan Yu had been 50,000 troops, there would be no problem with persisting in food and grass for five months. It would be a little tight, barely enough to last for half a year.

But Guan Yu quickly incorporated 30,000 bandits in Runan, 50,000 troops with five months of food and grass, and 80,000 troops with an average of only three months of use.

It has been almost three months since Guan Yu went to the war, and he has nearly one month of food and grass. It is mainly because Wang Fu manages it properly and is very careful in his calculations.

After Guan Yu saw Wang Fu, he asked about food and grass without hesitation. Wang Fu said it clearly in a few words.

Only then did Guan Yu realize that he was wronged Wang Fu and there was no other way. Thinking of Ma Liang's warning, he also began to consider withdrawing his troops.

Back to the camp, Guan Yu had the will to retreat, but he still wanted to use this limited time to make his last effort and find a way to defeat Yu Jin in a short period of time.

If you get a large amount of food and grass transported by Yu Jinxin, Guan Yu will be enough to encircle Cao Ren in Fancheng to exhaust the food and grass and surrender without fighting.

Guan Yu led dozens of his confidant generals to observe Yu Jin's camp at the high hills of Tushan, looking for strategies to defeat the enemy.

When he climbed up to look at it, Guan Yu saw that the ban camp was strictly regulated and the banner was neat, so that the soldiers were not confused at all.

Although the camp is built on the mountain, it is a sufficient safe distance from the mountains and forests. Fire prevention measures are in place, so it is impossible to attack the fire at all.

Guan Yu had no choice but to do anything, and the generals under him were also embarrassed, and the scene was a little depressing.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Guan Yu asked casually:

"Where is the valley where Yujin Camp is located?"

The guide replied: "Yokouchuan."

Guan Yu's heart moved and blurted out:

"How can fish enter the mouth of the crane for a long time?"

Then I thought about it that although Yujin Camp is low and suitable for flooding, it is late autumn, and the weather is dry and the dry water period is about to enter, and the water attack cannot be implemented at all.

It seems that Yu Jin had thought of this before he set up camp. Although it was a good solar term for fire attack, Yu Jin was very cautious and was rarely available.

When he returned to our village, Guan Yu remembered Ma Liang's advice and made a decision: Since he could not defeat Yu Jin, it would be better to withdraw his troops as soon as possible.

Guan Yu ordered his generals to maintain and repair boats, rafts and water utensils.

Guan Ping was very confused and couldn't help asking:

"Father, why use water utensils on land?"

Guan Yu still has a lucky mentality. If he finds a fighter opportunity, he can use a thunder strike. He did not want to reveal his intention to withdraw his troops too early, so he said to Guan Ping:

"It's not what you know!"

In fact, Guan Yu had prepared these ships and water tools long ago.

Originally, Fu Shiren, who was preparing to support the public security from the water to guard against Lu Meng's sneak attack, but now he is using the purpose of retreating troops.

But it is also very good to use as a retreat. You can retreat quickly. You are not afraid of Yu Yinjun, who is ignorant of the water, to cover up the killing from behind.

Just as Guan Yu asked the soldiers to move the food, grass and military funds to the ship and were about to retreat, it suddenly started to rain, and it continued.

When Guan Yu saw that the water was flooded by Yu Jin, he was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered Guan Ping:

"Full it, you can quickly send people to stay in the water outlets everywhere. When the water is big, take a high boat and let the water flood. When the water is flooded, the soldiers of the Yikou River will all be fish and turtles."

Only then did Guan Ping remember that Guan Yu had already repaired the ship and was convinced by the intention of water utensils.

Yu Jin's army stationed in Yikou River. It rained heavily for days. Why did the generals fear the Guan Yu water attack? I specifically asked for Yu Jin and suggested:

"The army stationed at the mouth of Chuankou, and the terrain was very low. Although there were earth mountains, it was a little far away from the camp. This autumn rain continued, and the soldiers were struggling. Some people recently reported that the soldiers in Jingzhou repaired ships, water tools, moved the camps to Gaofu, and prepared war rafts at the Hanshuikou. If the river water rises, our army will be in danger, so the general should make plans early."

Seeing that the autumn rain continued, Yu Jin, as the head coach, of course, had to ask the locals for inquiries.

He learned that autumn rain is not summer rain and cannot last for a long time, and it is difficult to cause flooding. It is basically impossible for Guan Yu to attack water.

Guan Yu's ships and warships were not prepared now.

Yu Jin had already done an investigation and knew that Guan Yu's fleet and beacon tower were used to guard against Sun Quan in Jiangdong.

Yu Jin ruled that Guan Yu wanted to retreat and was preparing to rectify his army and horses. When Guan Yu retreated, he then covered up his killing and took advantage of the opportunity to regain Xinye.

Because Cheng He was Pang De's capable subordinate, he helped Pang De cause some trouble for Yu Jin. After listening to his words, Yu Jin was displeased and blamed:

"Now the autumn dry things are impatient and the dry water period is about to enter. How can autumn rain cause heavy floods? Guan Yu's warships have been prepared long ago. Now, if you can't attack the camp, I think Guan Yu will withdraw his troops soon. You should go back and rectify the troops and prepare to cover up the killing. Don't confuse our army's morale! Then talk nonsense everywhere, behead according to military laws!"

Cheng He heard what Yu Jin said was reasonable and well-founded, and he was speechless and retreated in shame.
