Chapter 1138: Closing the Door and Beating the Dog

"Come on, take this Miss Guan down to me, eat and drink for me to take care of, don't be lazy. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info," the potter shouted with a flick of his hands.

When a group of female soldiers entered, they had to escort Guan Huang away.

"He didn't kill me? Why? Guan Huang opened his eyes and looked at the potter in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it.

The potters of the Great Wei Dynasty were known for their brutality, and Guan Huang was so arrogant that he wanted to anger the potters and force him to execute herself in order to preserve her reputation.

She didn't expect that the potter would be able to swallow this breath, not only did not kill her, but also treated her with "delicious food and drink".

Why?

Guan Xiaotong's eyes turned, and he suddenly thought of something, and his body trembled violently.

She remembered the rumors about the amorous nature of the Emperor of Great Wei, and it was rumored that many of his concubines, such as the daughter of Lu Bu, the sister of Sun Ce, and the female general of the Southern Barbarians, were originally hostile to the potters, but in the end, they were all succumbed to the potters in the process of long-term house arrest, and became the concubines of the potters for the potter's pleasure.

Today, the potter does not kill her, and he obviously covets her beauty, and wants to possess her in the future and accept her as a concubine.

Thinking of this, Guan Xiaotong's face suddenly turned red, and he shouted angrily: "Tao thief, if you kill me, I, Guan Huang, will never surrender to you, even if I die, I will never let you play with it." ”

The potter didn't bother to pay attention to her, picked up his glass again, and leisurely tasted the wine.

"Pottery thief, you killed me, you killed me-"

Guan Huang's shouts gradually faded away, and peace was restored again in the imperial tent.

"This Guan Xiaotong has a fierce temperament, and he has a fight with his red-faced father, and he wants to tame her, but I'm afraid it's not an easy task......" The potter was sipping wine, and he was thinking about how to clean up Guan Xiaotong in his heart.

At this moment, the royal forest guard outside the tent came to report, saying that Dai Zong had returned and was waiting outside the tent.

"Xuan." The potter put down his glass, and his mind returned to the topic, after all, the destruction of the Han is the most important thing at the moment, and everything else must make way for this.

After a while, Dai Zong entered the account, bowed down in front of the case, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei has recovered Jicheng, quelled the rebellion of An Lushan, and is preparing to return to the south to aid Guan Yu." ”

The An Lushan Rebellion has been put to rest!?

The potter's expression moved, obviously surprised that Liu Bei could destroy An Lushan so quickly, so he asked Dai Zong how Liu Bei did it.

Dai Zong explained how Liu Bei first besieged the city, and then how to use Shi Jingtang's secret dedication to Shun, and did not waste his strength to kill Jicheng from the West Gate, destroy An Lushan, and recover Jicheng.

It's just that Dai Zong has no way of knowing how An Lushan humiliated Liu Bei with Ma Rong's spring paintings, how he humiliated Liu Bei by conquering Ma Rong in the Golden Palace when the city was broken, and how Liu Bei asked Ximen Qing to strangle Ma Rong.

"Shi Jingtang, I didn't expect him to help Liu Bei, but unfortunately, the big-eared thief never dreamed that Shi Jingtang, like An Lushan, has a talent for backbone......s."

A sarcastic sneer rose at the corner of the potter's mouth, and with a flick of his hand, he ordered Zhang Liang, Liu Ji and other strategists to come to the imperial tent to discuss the matter.

Now that the An Lushan Rebellion has been pacified, Liu Bei will definitely go south with all the troops of the country and come to fight with him, and this battle of the Han Dynasty will naturally evolve from a local war against Guan Yu to a decisive battle with Liu Bei.

The decisive battle is approaching, and the previously established strategy will naturally have to be changed.

Not long after, Zhang Liang, Liu Ji, Han Xin and other strategists, as well as commander-level generals, rushed to the imperial tent one after another.

The pottery merchant ordered Dai Zong to tell Liu Bei about the recovery of Jicheng and told the ministers again.

"Liu Bei recovered the thistle...... Jicheng, the army will return to the south...... Go south and come to meet Guan Yu, but I am afraid that the decisive battle will be ...... It's coming. Liu Ji's judgment is basically the same as that of the potter.

The pottery merchant nodded and said, "Because of this, I summoned you and others to come here to discuss with you how to fight the big-eared thief." ”

When the words fell, Zhang Liang said: "Although Guan Yu has been defeated in successive battles, lost the Yijing defense line, and folded Liu Bei's 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers, but there are still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, if you meet Liu Bei's 70,000 army, you can barely piece together an army of 100,000, and the number of cavalry of the big-eared thieves is twice as many as ours, although our army has many infantry, it may not have much advantage, so-"

Zhang Liang raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Zhuo County, "The minister thinks that the first thing our army should do now is to surround Guan Yu and his remnants in Zhuoxian County, prevent him from joining forces with Liu Bei, destroy Guan Yu first, and then turn his head and then destroy Liu Bei, it will be a little easier." ”

Kill Guan Yu first!

The potter who listened to these four words was hot in his heart, and the murderous intent in his eyes gradually ignited.

"The ovary has a point." Han Xin also stood up and agreed: "Guan Yu is a pseudo-Han general, known as the first general under Liu Bei, if he can destroy this thief, not only can he annihilate 20,000 enemy troops, weaken Liu Bei's troops, but also severely damage the morale of the Han army, making Liu Bei even worse. ”

The potter nodded and said, "What you said is exactly what I want, you tell me how we should destroy Guan Yu." ”

Han Xin immediately got up, walked to the map and said: "Although Zhuo County is the seat of Zhuo County, its city is not a strong city, and there is no danger to defend, once it is surrounded by our army, it is equivalent to falling into a desperate situation, Guan Yu should be very clear about this time." ”

Han Xin's finger moved to the north, and then said: "Therefore, the minister believes that Guan Yu will not dare to defend Zhuocheng after learning that Liu Bei has recovered Jicheng, and will definitely take advantage of the arrival of our army to lead the army to retreat to Liangxiang City north of the holy water, block our army with the holy water as a danger, and wait for Liu Bei's army to come to rendezvous." Therefore, our army should do its best cavalry, set off immediately, double the road, seize Liangxiang City before Guan Yu, and give Guan Yu a gate to beat the dog! ”

The potter stood up, eagle eyes staring at the map, sweeping between Zhuoxian and Liangxiang City.

After staring for a long time, a sneer appeared on the face of the pottery merchant Yingwu, and he said happily: "It's a good plan to close the door and beat the dog, just use your plan to lock Guan Yu in Zhuo County, so that he has no way to escape, this time, I will never let the surnamed Guan escape alive!" ”

The iron-like fist smashed the word "Zhuoxian".

At that moment, the potters sent Huo Quai, Ma Chao, Luo Cheng, Hua Xiong and other horsemen to lead 20,000 iron horsemen to set off immediately, bypassing Zhuo County and going to attack Liangxiang.

……

Zhuo County.

Guan Yu, with the support of his own soldiers, looked gloomy, and slowly walked out of the inner hall and into the lobby.

At this time, Guan Yu was haggard and gloomy, and his blinded left eye had been tied with a veil, and it seemed that although the injury had been controlled, he had suffered major mental trauma.

The dignified Han general was reduced to such a miserable appearance, which made Zhao Yun and others in the hall feel sympathetic when they saw it.

Even Sima Yi shook his head and sighed, secretly feeling sorry for what happened to Guan Yu.

As soon as Guan Yu appeared, bursts of sighs sounded in the lobby, and a pair of pitiful and sympathetic eyes focused on Guan Yu's body.

The sympathetic gaze was like a needle, and Guan Yu was as uncomfortable as a mang's back.

"Isn't it just blind in one eye, what's the big deal, I don't need your sympathy!" Guan Yu was unhappy in his heart, and as soon as he sat down, he yelled at the generals.

Zhao Yun and the others were shocked, their eyes were helpless, so they had to put away that sympathy, and no one dared to face Guan Yu seriously.

Guan Yu was a little satisfied, and asked: "Wen Ziqin, has our army been defeated and collected, how many soldiers and horses are left?" ”

"Back to the general, in addition to the seriously wounded soldiers, there are only 20,000 soldiers left in our army who can fight." Wen Chou hurriedly replied.

Twenty thousand......

Hearing this number, Guan Yu's heart twitched.

Liu Bei added up before and after, and gave him a total of nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses, but now he only has 20,000 people left, and he has lost nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses.

60,000 soldiers and horses, which is almost half of the soldiers and horses that the Han State can mobilize!

Guan Yu couldn't help but feel deep guilt in his heart, and felt that he was really sorry for Liu Bei's trust.

It was only a moment, Guan Yu immediately raised his nose, and said proudly: "I didn't expect that we still have 20,000 capable warriors, it is really unexpected by the general, it seems that the conspiracy of the pottery thieves to destroy my army was finally broken by the general." ”

Zhao Yun and the other generals looked at each other secretly, their eyes were full of bitterness, thinking that Guan Yu was really good at face to the extreme, and they had reached such a point that they were still unwilling to admit their disappointment, and they had to forcibly put gold on their faces, saying that they had broken the conspiracy of the potters.

It's so good that it's so good that it's brazen......

In the minds of all the generals, the same thought invariably appeared, but no one dared to express it directly, and they could only laugh and say yes again and again, echoing Guan Yu.

"The general has saved 20,000 soldiers and horses for His Majesty, which is indeed gratifying." Sima Yi also patted his ass, but said with a smile: "Yi has another good news to congratulate the general." ”

"He's here?" Guan Yu's single eye flashed with a glimmer of light.

Sima Yi smiled and said: "Yi has received the news, Your Majesty has recovered Jicheng not long ago, and killed An Lushan with his own hands, now that the civil strife has been decided, Your Majesty will soon do the whole division to the south, and then the general will meet Your Majesty, and you will definitely be able to regroup and break the pottery thief, isn't this enough to congratulate?" ”

Jicheng recovered!

Guan Yu's haggard red face suddenly glowed, as if he had suddenly been hit with chicken blood, and laughed excitedly: "An Lushan, that traitor has finally been ambushed, Your Majesty is really the destiny of heaven, now it's okay, as soon as the army of the Son of Heaven arrives, the days of the rampant pottery thieves will come to an end, and the time for me Guan Yu to take revenge is not far away, haha-"

Guan Yu rekindled his self-confidence, and the smug laughter echoed in the hall, and Wen Chou and the other generals were relieved to hear that the civil strife was calmed down, and their morale was restored slightly.

In the excitement, Zhao Yun said calmly: "The recovery of Jicheng is gratifying, but we should not be careless, at the moment we only have 20,000 soldiers and horses, this Zhuo County is not a strong city, and there is no danger to defend, it is still so close to Yijing, if it is surrounded by the army of pottery thieves, it will not be good, Yun thought that we should abandon Zhuo County as soon as possible, and immediately retreat to Liangxiang City in the north, according to the danger of holy water, waiting for His Majesty's army to come to join the division, this is the safest." ”

Guan Yu restrained his laughter, pondered for a moment, and looked at Sima Yi, "Zhongda, what do you think?" ”

Sima Yi also nodded and said: "Yi thinks that General Zhao is reasonable, the general has finally kept 20,000 soldiers and horses for His Majesty, if he falls into the siege of the enemy, it will not be beautiful, only by successfully meeting with His Majesty, can he play the role of 20,000 people, so Yi also thinks that he should abandon Zhuo County as soon as possible and go to Liangxiang to wait for His Majesty's army to come." ”

Guan Yu weighed the pros and cons again, Fang is hand waved, and snorted coldly: "The pottery thief wants to besiege the general in the lonely city and destroy the general's 20,000 soldiers and horses, but the general will not give him this opportunity, pass on the general's order, and the whole army will immediately abandon the city and retreat to Liangxiang." ”

As soon as the words fell, a scout broke into the hall in a hurry, and exclaimed in a trembling voice: "General Yu, there is an urgent report from the north, the 20,000 cavalry of the Wei army have smuggled into the holy water yesterday and attacked my Liangxiang City!" ”

"What!"

Guan Yu was taken aback, jumped up, and his proud red face had just reappeared, and he was instantly attacked by horror.
