Chapter 37: It's All Here (Plus Change)

After Hou Yin's rebellion, Guan Yu has been trying to find a way to do something in the Northern Expedition.

In order to block Guan Yu, Cao Wei's generals really took great pains, and Cao Ren even did not hesitate to slaughter Wancheng in his rear to quickly end the battle to deal with Guan Yu's threat.

Cao's army was unpopular, but Guan Yu's army became stronger and stronger, recruiting rebels all the way, and growing like a snowball.

Gradually, Cao Ren found that he was no longer Guan Yu's opponent in the field.

If it weren't for the lack of enough cavalry in Guan Yu's army, they would have been able to divide and surround Cao Ren in the field battle and annihilate them all.

Cao Ren also fought a lifelong battle, and soon discovered the weakness of Guan Yujun.

First of all, Guan Yu's army lacked cavalry and ran too slowly.

Even if the Cao army was defeated, it would be difficult to wipe out the entire system, so Cao Ren sent a large number of cavalry to constantly harass the supply lines of Guan Yu's army.

Pang De is Cao Ren's carefully selected cavalry general.

Secondly, as we all know, the Han River and the Yangtze River are in Jiangxia or Xia Shui, and Jiangxia is now in the hands of Sun Quan, of course Sun Quan will not give Guan Yu any support.

Therefore, every time Guan Yu went on a northern expedition, he either took a detour of the original road to take summer water or a land route.

No matter which way, progress is too slow,

Every time Guan Yu advanced, if he was delayed for too long, there would be a shortage of food, grass and weapons, and he was forced to retreat to the Han River to wait for supplies.

If Mi Fang's side can't supply it slowly, Guan Yu will even send someone back to Jiangling to get supplies.

In response to this situation, Cao Ren made a deployment -

He sent Pang De to fight Guan Yu, and once it was unfavorable, he retreated to Yicheng with the whole army and waited for Guan Yu to attack the city.

Guan Yu will not be able to keep up with the food and grass for a long time after the siege of the city, and when he retreats, he will pursue the whole army.

This trick hit Guan Yu a little top.

"Hmph, the old man knew that it would be difficult to attack the city, so he pretended to be injured by an arrow and ordered the whole army to retreat to Jiangling.

That Cao Ren Pifu really hit the plan, and thought that the old man was seriously injured and died, so he ordered the army to go south, and even Wen Ping, a timid birdman, came! ”

Guan Ping couldn't help but laugh on the side, Liu Chan also pretended to believe it, and nodded again and again:

"The second uncle is brave and strategic, he is really the first general of my Han!"

Guan Yu was stubborn and arrogant, and naturally refused to admit that he was shot by Pang De with an arrow, fell off his horse, and fainted on the spot.

However, he will plan what he does, and his tactics of luring Cao Ren out of the city to fight in the field are indeed clever.

Cao Ren was impetuous, and when he heard that Guan Yu was seriously injured, he didn't even want Han Shui, so he immediately attacked with the whole army.

This will Guan Yu use the support of the Jiangling defense line and the surrounding people to finally succeed in counter-encircling Cao Ren's main force, and the Cao army killed will be in vain.

"Lu Chang was besieged by Zhao Ziji, and Liao Yuanjian unexpectedly attacked Wenpin, and he was also destined to take half of Wenpin's life.

The old man personally raised troops to attack Pang De, and thought that Pang De was brave and fierce, and he must have a good move, but he didn't expect to be so vulnerable. ”

Although Cao Ren's total strength was superior, he had to leave some of his men to prevent the people's rebellion, which dispersed his forces.

Later, in order to block Guan Yu's way back, he blindly divided the troops into three, and completely lost the advantage of troops.

And the Guan Yu army, which returned to the base camp, was well supplied, and the troops could be released to the greatest extent, they judged that Wen Ping was just here to join in the fun, so they simply concentrated most of the main forces to surround Cao Ren and Lu Chang's main force.

Guan Yu was supposed to sit on this road, but he was extremely angry with Pound,

It was also considering that Pang De had concentrated the essence of Cao Wei's sailors along the way, so he deliberately led the army to attack in person.

He thought that this battle would be a fierce battle, and although he was sure to win, it would be a crushing battle at best.

Unexpectedly, Cao Jun had already fought with Liu Chan before, and both sides paid a lot of losses, which made Guan Yu pick a peach for nothing.

As we all know, Guan Yu has always been reluctant to take advantage of others.

He hesitated, but still said with emotion:

"Adou knows that he is worried about his uncle, and I am very comforted,

The credit for capturing Changdiao should be written down to you.

It's a pity to just walk Pound. ”

Liu Chan said obediently:

"Pound is just a Wufuer, and my uncle's army is unstoppable,

Pound fled to the ends of the earth, and sooner or later he would fall into the hands of his uncle.

Ding Li, the warrior who captured Chang Diao, admired the second uncle very much, and asked the second uncle to teach martial arts! ”

Guan Yu smiled at Liu Chan's praised eyebrows, and said proudly:

"Good boy, I've heard his name too,

I can't think of any good words, so I'll give him the words Spring and Autumn! ”

"Adou thanked the second uncle for his subordinates."

Guan Yu couldn't close his mouth with a smile, but he quickly realized that he was a little carried away, stroked his beard and said:

"Even so, Adou, it is also very wrong for you to injure Fu Yuanbi,

Listen to my uncle, so I went back to Jiangzhou to apologize to Yuan Bi. ”

Liu Chan flattered the authentic:

"Adou is young and ignorant, and he will go to Jiangzhou to ask Uncle Fu for his guilt when he returns.

But now, it's all here, and Adou wants to learn some military tactics by his second uncle's side. ”

If Liu Chan said that he had come to Jingzhou to support Guan Yu, he would definitely be slapped back by Guan Yu.

Who is General Guan, and does he still need junior support?

What a joke.

But if you say that the second uncle is learning to fight, it's another matter.

It's all here, Chengdu is so far away from Jiangling, presumably the second uncle also has to consider the mood of the juniors.

Guan Yu didn't expect Liu Chan to be so good at talking now, and he was in a good mood, so he gave up his cold posture and let Liu Chan sit beside him.

After Liu Chan was done, Guan Yu stretched out a big hand and gently pinched Liu Chan's arm, and said with a smile:

"You kid, if you can't hold a sword, what's the use of going into battle?

If it weren't for your uncle to save you this time, you would have been buried in the river.

Anyway, don't go on a northern expedition with me, just in Jiangling, and wait for me to destroy Cao Ren and return. ”

Liu Chan is Guan Yu's junior, and he must speak according to Guan Yu's temper.

But Zhuge Qiao, who came to visit Guan Yu with Liu Chan, didn't want to give Guan Yu this face.

What's so great about Guan Yu? Dare to say that my son-in-law doesn't know how to fight?

He said rather resentfully:

"Guan Gong's words are wrong, the eldest prince has the help of God Haotian, and the battle will be won, and the attack will be won.

This time to face Pound, it was the son who made a plan,

First break the Pound sentinel, find out the reality in the army, and then use the water ghost to scuttle the Pound ship, and then build a miracle.

Gongzi guessed that General Guan was unharmed, so he boldly attacked and attacked Pang De unprepared.

Even if General Guan doesn't come, our army will definitely win! ”

Guan Yu looked at the tiger and sneered:

"What does Qiao'er mean is that the old man came here today, but he did you a disservice?"

No one dared to look at the angry Guan Yu, Zhuge Qiao hurriedly lowered his head, but he refused to let go, and said:

"Childe's use of soldiers is ever-changing, and mortals like us naturally don't know,

This time, we fought hard to capture Chang Diao, I don't know what general Guan Gong won? ”

Guan Yu hadn't reached the level of knowledge like a junior, but Zhuge Qiao's words still made him quite unhappy.

Guan Yu is confident that he will defeat Lu Chang and Wen Ping, but it is a bit unrealistic to say that they will be captured or killed.

But Liu Chan captured Chang Diao......

Guan Yu snorted coldly, raised the bar and said:

"Chang Diao is not a mediocre man under Cao Ren's command, and he got the position of general by relying on his whiskers and horses.

I heard that this battle was commanded by Joel himself,

On the river, Pound has wings and is difficult to fly, but has he ever captured this person? ”

Guan Yu's lifting of the bar was too tasteless, and even Guan Ping sighed helplessly.

Who said that the battle on the river must capture the enemy's main general?

Guan Yu and Wenpin have been fighting for so many years, and they haven't let Wenpin slip away every time.

Liu Chan knew that if he continued to talk like this, the second uncle's temper would not end well, so he hurriedly said:

"Today's victory, thanks to the help of the second uncle, is to capture Pound, and it is also the credit of the second uncle."

Guan Yu sneered:

"The old man never covets the merits of heaven for himself,

If you can capture Pang De, Lu Chang, and Wen Renyi, I, Guan Yu, will immediately feel ashamed.

Hmph, if you capture a lieutenant general of Chang Diao, you can still ......"

"Report ......"

Guan Yu was also ready to raise the bar with Zhuge Qiao for a long time, when he suddenly heard a hurried shout outside,

Guan Ping hurriedly greeted him and said:

"What's the matter, but the Cao army is coming?"

Guan Yu's color changed suddenly, and the heart Dao Cao Jun should be falling apart at this moment, could it be that something happened to Zhao Lei's side.

But after a while, Guan Ping, who had always been steady, actually let out a cheer, ran back to the cabin quickly, and said in surprise:

"Father, Daxi, I've caught Pound!"
