"Holy crap!" "Holy crap!" "Holy crap!"
Wang Xuan stared blankly at the mountain of intelligence sent over by the intelligence department. What the hell was going on? How had Gan Ning taken Shouchun and Wei Yan captured Xiapi in the blink of an eye?
Come on, who could explain this to me?
Was this really how I'd told Gan Ning to do it?
This was going straight down the throat in one step! Even if the waterways were smooth and unobstructed, wasn't this thrusting way too deep? Was Boss Cao not enjoying himself immensely?
Xiapi had less than twenty thousand troops, Gan Ning had less than twenty thousand, and he had less than twenty thousand here. With fewer than sixty thousand troops, they had surrounded Cao Cao?
Was this looking down on Cao Cao, or thinking too highly of themselves?
Hadn't they just poked a hornet's nest?
If a single Xiangyang wasn't enough to make Boss Cao fight to the death, then now... that might not be the case.
Of course, there was some good news. At least Cao Zhen, who had just entered Jiangxia, had directly turned his attention toward Gan Ning and no longer had time to bother with Xiangyang.
Even so, Xiangyang had fifty thousand troops defending the city, while he had fewer than twenty thousand here. Even if they took Fancheng by flooding it, Xiangyang still wouldn't be easy to attack.
Originally, Wang Xuan's plan had been that it didn't matter if the place was difficult to take. He could turn it into a brutal battle and use it to tie down Cao Cao. Compared to Cao Cao, he was still far behind in development speed. If he could wear down Cao Cao's strength here, that would be worthwhile.
But now, the plan really couldn't keep
