When Zhang Fei arrived at Yiyang, Guan Yu was still running towards the Qinglong Mountain Range. He abandoned the slow-walking baggage procession and went on a rampage alone with his guards, who walked from evening to night.

Along the way, he had changed two war horses in a row, both of which were tall horses that traveled hundreds of miles a day, but he still felt that the speed was too slow and the time was too tight.

He was afraid that he would be too late to go back, that the city of Xinxi had been broken, that his brother's whereabouts were unknown and that he was scattered in the chaos, or that he would simply become Guo Jia's prisoner.

It wasn't until he stepped into the tail end of the Qinglong Mountain Range and saw the fireworks in the direction of Xinxi City gradually extinguishing from a distance across the valley, and there was no more noisy sound from the upper and lower parts of Xinxi City, that he secretly loosened the string that had been tightened in his heart.

Although he didn't like Zhuge Liang very much, he knew that with him, Chen Zhi, and Xu Sheng, no matter what tricks Guo Jia played, it would be impossible for them to break through the defense line of Xinxi City in a day or two.

"Let's all rest for a while, and when the army catches up, let's set off again!"

Dismounted and sat next to a big tree, Guan Yu patted the horse, turned his head and commanded the guards, quietly waiting for the arrival of the soldiers.

The red sun gradually rose, and a ray of light sprinkled over the earth.

Guan Yu gradually felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, although he didn't know that Chen Zhi had become Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong's hands at the mouth of the valley in front of him a few hours ago, but after all, he was a veteran of Rong Ma, and he could still smell the smell of blood in the wind.

"Zhang Chao!" Guan Yu woke up the guards beside him, "Lead a few brothers to quietly touch the valley to see what's going on?" Watch your whereabouts! ”

After waiting for an hour, Zhang Chao and several guards had already returned to Guan Yu's side with a seriously injured soldier: "General Qiyu, we found a seriously injured brother in Yukou, but he fell into a coma again at the moment.

According to him, he was originally a subordinate of General Chen Zhi. The two generals, Chen Zhi and Xu Sheng, hid in Qinglong Mountain. Yesterday, at midnight, the city of Xinxi was in flames, and the two generals found that someone was attacking Xinxi for fear of disadvantage to the lord, so they turned around and returned.

As a result, when they were at Yukou, they were ambushed by Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong, and General Chen was stabbed several times in order to cover General Xu and his brothers, and was captured by Zhang Liao on the spot. General Xu Sheng took the opportunity to break through and rushed to Xinxi. ”

"What happened, what happened?" The thing that he had been worried about finally found out that there was a little eyebrow, Guan Yu was anxious to grab Zhang Chao's shirt and shake it vigorously, lest he hear half a bad thing from his mouth.

Zhang Chao was shaken so much that he was almost out of breath, and waited until Guan Yu let go of his hand before coughing vigorously twice and said: "He didn't know what happened later, he left behind with General Chen, and he was not able to break through."

However, when the subordinates came back just now, they chose two fast brothers to sneak for three or five miles, and they did not find that there were traces of an ambush in the direction of the city, and there was no army stationed outside the city, I believe that the lord and the city are safe and sound! Guan Yu nodded, leaning against the trunk of the tree and puzzled.

Why did Guo Fengxiao lead his troops to surround Xinxituan, but he was not in a hurry to storm it, and even withdrew his troops and left this place immediately after capturing Chen Dao? Could it be that their purpose was simply to capture Chen Zhi and avenge the angels?

But this is not reasonable, Chen Zhi is just the leader of the personal guards under his brother's account, even if he wants revenge, shouldn't his brother or Zhuge Kongming be a better target? What kind of medicine is sold in this Guo Fengxiao's gourd!

There were many thoughts for a while, but Guan Yu never caught the real one.

Suddenly, hearing that Zhang Chao had come to report that the baggage team had caught up, Guan Yu turned over and got up, especially didn't want to think about it, what was the use of thinking so much, and waiting to return to the city to take care of his brother was the top priority.

The Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand slashed at the trunk of the tree, Guan Yu looked at the generals, and shouted: "Order the whole army, hurry through the valley and rush to Xinxi, and there will be no rest along the way!" ”

……

"General, Guan Dabeard's troops have passed three thousand people, and I'm afraid there are only two thousand people left at this end of Yukou." In the Lingyun Peak of the Qinglong Mountain Range, a deputy general was lying on a boulder, his eyes firmly staring at the flag coming up from the mountainside, estimating the number of Guan Yu's troops passing through the valley.

And Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong also stood on the mountain peak with their hands behind their backs, but their faces were light and light, and they couldn't see that they were in a hurry.

The adjutant general was in a hurry, jumped down from the tree, and looked at the two generals anxiously: "General, Guan Bearded is leading his children through the valley, if they don't attack, they will flee and reunite with the big-eared thief!" ”

"Niu Gai, what are you in a hurry? Could it be that you are clairvoyant and have taken a fancy to the rouge horse under Guan Dabeard's crotch? Zhang Liao sneered, and Zhengse said, "The lord often says that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so you can put a hundred hearts on the old cow, and we will never let the duck fly away if it enters the pot!" ”

This Guan Yu is about to return to Xinxi, and the two generals are still standing still, do they still want to wait for Guan Yu to return to the city before going hunting?

Huang Zhong walked to his side with a faint smile, pointed to the Xinxi City outside Qinglong Mountain and the Bailong Mountain and Qingshui River around it and asked, "Little baby, take a good look, what are these two dragons and those rivers like?" ”

The Qinglong Mountain Range stretches for a hundred and ten miles, towering into the clouds, and Lingyun Peak is even more tentacing, standing on the top of Lingyun Peak, the scenery below is unobstructed.

From a distance, the two mountain ranges of Qinglong Mountain and Bailong Mountain, and several rivers such as Qingshui River, Lu River, and Zhai River meander and mean, drawing a circle on the endless plain, as if a large urn tightly embraces Xinxi City in the center.

"This is the urn, the urn we hold the wine!" Niu Gai jumped up happily, as if Columbus had discovered a new world, but his expression became depressed in an instant, "Old general, do you know that Niu wanted to ask why he didn't ambush Guan Dabeard, but you told me that this was an urn, isn't this a pastime for me?" ”

"Little baby, you have been following General Wen Yuan for five or six years, and you should use your brain more!"

Huang Zhong patted Niu Gai's shoulder, and said with an encouraging smile: "You think about it, what is the specific purpose of the military advisor who placed our team in the Qinglong Mountain Range before leaving, and left Xingba and Yuanfu in the White Dragon Mountain?"

Of course, I didn't want Xingba to go to Xinxi City to set fire to the fireworks, nor did I want us to simply attack Liu Bei's reinforcements. His real intention was to trap Liu Bei in Xinxi City, and use Liu Bei to gather all his men and horses here.

After the lord frees his hands from Jizhou, he will wipe them out! As for the battle at Yukou last night, capturing Chen Zhi alive and scaring Xu Sheng away, it was just beating the child on a rainy day - it was idle anyway, it was all a matter of beating rabbits with grass. ”

"Huh? Are you saying that the military division's night raid and encirclement and reinforcement are actually all to keep a big drama designed by Liu Bei himself, and his goal from beginning to end is Liu Bei and his legions? Niu Gai looked at Huang Zhong dumbfounded, his eyes full of stars.

Huang Zhong was right, Guo Jia's idea was to trap Liu Bei here.

When Wang Li discussed the princes of the world with Guo Jia, Xun You, Xun Yu, Yan Zhong and Tian Feng, he once said: In terms of cunning, there is no one in the world than Cao Cao; On forbearance, and Liu Bei are rare.

Guo Jia thought so, and engraved it on his chest.

If you want to hunt and hunt, you can only be more cunning than your prey, more fierce than your prey, and more forbearant than your prey.

Therefore, when he first arrived in Runan, Guo Jia did not show an extraordinary side, and more often than not, he just pushed the boat down the river and added fuel to the fire.

For example, when withdrawing troops from Yiyang and Anfeng, Guo Jia only quietly launched the plan to reunite the broken mirror, so that Zhuge Liang quietly obtained their whereabouts, so the troops went out of Yiyang to ambush Guangshan and pinched Yiyang in his own hands.

As everyone knows, Guo Jia planted a bomb in the relationship between Liu Bei and Cao Cao that may explode at any time.

When the puppet emperor issued an edict against the king, Guo Jia, in order to stabilize the situation in Yuzhou, took advantage of the situation to throw out a few new cities and praise to Cao and Liu, but did not give them the same treatment.

treats Cao Cao like sweeping the leaves in autumn, and he is always waiting for heavy troops, but Liu Bei seems to be a brother who wears a pair of pants, and Xinxicheng will give it when he says it.

Those who have a country and a family do not suffer from widowhood but inequality, and do not suffer from poverty but suffer from anxiety.

unevenness, it has become the fish bone in Cao Cao's throat, and if he doesn't pull it out, he won't be able to open his face after all. As a result, Yu Ban's death in battle became the last straw that overwhelmed the Cao-Liu Alliance.

Finally, when the relationship between the two broke down completely, and Wang Li also solved the problem of Jizhou Shuangyuan smoothly, Guo Jia once again used the identity of Huangfu Jianshou fake angel to lead the two into infighting, and at the same time firmly pressed Liu Bei in the big urn of Xinxi.

The morning breeze was blowing, and white clouds drifted past the top of the mountain, blocking everyone's view.

Huang Zhong suddenly let out a long roar, and the blood drinking knife suddenly came out of its sheath, and the knife fell, and the knife broke to the clouds, revealing a large urn in the middle.
