Section 294: Surrounded by Puyang
The news of Guan Yan's defeat spread far and wide, and LΓΌ Bu personally distributed wine and food to the soldiers at the head of the city to celebrate the victory, and Guan Yan's ally in this battle, Cao Cao, naturally also got the news of Guan Yan's defeat.
At the beginning, he treated Guan Yan as a close friend in Luoyang, and later Guan Yan soared, Cao Cao in order to fulfill his dream, he raised troops alone in Chenliu, and a few years later, Cao Cao was strong and strong.
It stands to reason that the relationship between the two must be a strong alliance and sweep the Quartet, but the strange thing is that the two are fighting openly and secretly everywhere, as if they have a deep hatred.
The world is puzzled, only Guan Yan and Cao Cao can pay attention to this special friendship. It is because of mutual respect that we will go all out!
"This Guan Wende doesn't know the soldiers, doesn't understand the art of war, and doesn't care about the troops, it's not surprising that he has this defeat!" Cao Cao was very happy with the battle report, pacing back and forth, in a very good mood, and couldn't help but taunt Guan Yan.
Everyone in Cao Cao's account, in addition to Cao Cao, there is actually one person who has an old relationship with Guan Yan, that is, Xun You, who was the waiter of the Yellow Gate.
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun You smiled slightly: "Lord, Guan Yan has led the troops here, and he has fought many battles and lost many times, but many defeats have achieved many things!" Perseverance, not to be exaggerated, we should not underestimate it! β
"Hmm~~" Cao Cao nodded, and adopted the advice, which is Cao Cao's consistent style: "Gongda's words are true, Guan Yan went from Qingzhou to Jizhou, from Jizhou to Sili, and lost all the way, but he actually reached a high position now, thinking that this initial defeat of Lu Bu is probably also Guan Yan's strategy!" Hahaha~~~" Cao Cao's sentence caused everyone in the tent to laugh.
Guo Jia stood up and led the topic to the right point: "However, this time Lu Bu won a big victory, morale is high, and it is not good for us. β
"Okay, just follow the words of filial piety!"
Three days after Huang Zhong and Pang De were defeated, Cao Cao ordered Xiahoudun to be the main general, ordered 20,000 horses to garrison the east gate of Puyang, and led 20,000 tun to the south gate of Puyang; Then send a messenger to inform Guan Yan and ask him to besiege the west and north gates of Puyang in order to besiege him.
When Guan Yan got Cao Cao's letter, he had just arrived at the camp of Pang De and Huang Zhong.
"The last will ask the lord for his guilt!"
Outside the camp gate, Huang Zhong and Pang De faced Guan Yan and prayed on the ground.
"Two generals, please!" Guan Yan turned over and dismounted, and helped the two of them up: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it is not a good thing!" Come, come, I'll wait for the tent to speak! β
A group of civil and military officers poured into the big tent with Guan Yan, and sat down separately. Now Guan Yan has a lot of talents under his account, and the bustling civil and military gathering in the account also makes Guan Yan quite proud.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the failure of the previous renovation was caused by my improper arrangement, but fortunately there was little loss, so I don't think it was a plan!" Guan Yan came up and took the mistake on himself, which made Huang Zhong and Pang De feel ashamed and indignant when they were grateful to Guan Yan, and vowed to shroud the horse leather to repay Guan Yan's kindness.
Guan Yan's consciously arranged words were naturally to buy people's hearts to show his magnanimous purpose, so as soon as the words came out, he had already deliberately noticed the expressions of the two. After feeling that he had achieved his goal, Guan Yan nodded slightly, glanced at Cao Cao's letter here, and continued: "Lu Bu has the courage of a tiger, and it is unwise to attack strongly, and his initial victory is in full swing, so he cannot compete with him. Cao Cao has divided his troops into two places in the east and south of Puyang; According to his plan, I should divide my troops to the west and north of Puyang, so as to form a siege, what do you think? β
Pang De was defeated by Lu Bu twice, and he was already angry in his heart, according to Cao Cao's meaning, it is to besiege but not attack, so when will he be ashamed? Thinking of this, Pang De clenched his fists and said: "Cao Cao has his own selfishness, as the old saying goes: if you are together, you are strong, and if you are separate, you are lonely." We divided our troops into two places, and I was afraid that Lu Bu would break them one by one; Today, Lu Bu is newly victorious, there will be slackness, and the last general will lead 3,000 men and horses, and he will definitely capture Puyang and behead Lu Bu to sacrifice the lord! β
Huang Zhong lost the first big tent when he first came, and naturally he was eager to prove himself, so he immediately followed the column and bowed down: "The last general is also willing to go with the name of the order!" β
The thoughts of these two people, Guan Yan, naturally knew that the military generals of this era, except for a very few shameless people, most of them regarded their names as their fate, and would rather die in battle than bear some humiliation, but now they rushed to go, like sending them to death, Guan Yan naturally did not allow it.
Just as Guan Yan was about to speak, a slightly immature voice sounded from the last column: "Lord, the last general thinks it is impossible!" β
Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be Zhou Yu, who was still in the year of the weak crown.
When Zhou Yu saw it, there were dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him in an instant, and his face couldn't help but blush slightly, but when Zhou Yu saw Guan Yan's affirmative and encouraging eyes, Zhou Yu couldn't help gritting his teeth and continued to say loudly: "The last general thinks that it is really unwise to attack Puyang at this time!" β
As soon as he said this, Pang De was a little angry, when he was ordered by Guan Yan, Pang De went to Yingchuan with Zhou Yu to harass Cao Cao's rear, Pang De was already quite dissatisfied with this stinky boy, although the results of each battle were good, but Pang De was not convinced!
Now in front of the public, he was pushed by this kid again, and now that he has no affiliation at that time, Pang Deke let go and shouted: "Hmph, then why can't you tell me?" β
After saying a few words, Zhou Yu no longer had the nervousness at the beginning, not to mention that among the generals in this account, he had the most contact with this Pang De, so Zhou Yu said loudly: "Although Lu Bu is less wise, but Chen Gong is resourceful, I expect that Puyang City will be ready for battle, and the battle will be damaged!" What's more, the alliance between the lord and Cao Cao is an alliance of plots, if the lord tries his best to seize Puyang first, I am afraid it will also be a wedding dress for Cao Cao's disciples! β
Zhou Yu's analysis was reasonable, and Xi Zhicai, the chief military advisor, spoke first: "I think what Gong Jin said is very true!" The lord should first besiege Puyang according to Cao Cao's strategy, and then make the aftermath! β
"Hmmm! Does the lord still have objections? Guan Yan raised his eyes and said, in fact, he mainly said it to Pound.
Although Pound's temperament is hot, he can still distinguish which is more important and which is more important, so he will no longer make a noise at the moment to show his acquiescence.
Guan Yan smiled slightly: "Okay, then tonight I will divide 20,000 troops to swallow the north of the city, who can lead it?" β
Now it was lively, Zang Ba, Ji Ling, Pang De, Huang Zhong and others recommended themselves as the main generals, defending the north of Puyang, and all the loud voices and waves were bursting, as if they were going to open the big tent.
"Okay, okay......" Guan Yan stretched out his hand and pressed down to show everyone to be quiet, but there was a lot of noise down here, and no one heard Guan Yan's words at all.
Seeing this, Guan Yan slammed the table, stood up, and yelled: "Shut up!" β
Hearing that Guan Yan was angry, everyone hurriedly and carefully returned to various places, waiting for Guan Yan's arrangement.
"Since it was Zhou Yu who mentioned it, then Zhou Yu should go!"
