Chapter 125: Guan Yu's Temporary Surrender (I)

Cao Cao waved his army to the east to conquer Xuzhou for the second time, and Yuan Shao sat back and watched Cao's army leave Xuchang without any reaction, which was really unexpected by many people.

The most tragic thing is Liu Bei, he has to face the 65,000 army, and Xuzhou, which has just arrived, may be lost in a blink of an eye.

The last time Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he could surrender, but this time he didn't even have a chance to surrender. Liu Bei was sure that this rebellion would definitely make Cao Cao hate him, and if he fell into the hands of the other party again, he would definitely die.

For Yuan Shao's indifference, it was not only Liu Bei who was surprised, but also Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others.

No matter how stupid Yuan Shao is, in the face of such a good opportunity, it is impossible not to make any moves at all, not to mention that there are so many capable people and wise people under him, is there no one among them who has put forward relevant opinions? But so far, Yuan Shao has not even sent a single soldier, and has stayed quietly in his Yecheng.

It's unbelievable, it's too unbelievable.

Originally, Guo Jiadu had already planned that as long as Yuan Shao sent troops, the spies he had arranged in Liaodong would immediately contact Gongsun Du and instigate him to lead the army to harass Yuan Shao's rear with a generous reward, not seeking to gain anything, but only to delay the time a little and support his army to return to help after breaking through Xuzhou.

Of course, Gongsun Du may not be willing to agree to contain Yuan Shao, but Guo Jia has absolute confidence that he can convince the other party, and the richness of the remuneration offered this time is absolutely impossible for Gongsun Du not to be moved.

But now all this is not necessary, who told Yuan Shao that he just nested in the nest and didn't come out.

There is no way to carry out his own schemes, and Guo Jia can't help but be a little depressed.

As for Yuan Shao's immobility, Liu Bei can only sigh now, complaining about why his luck is so unlucky.

Yuan Shao did not attack Xuchang, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals no longer have to worry about the future, and the siege of the city was called a happy attack, but in ten days, the city in Xuzhou was in his hands, and only Pi was left.

In the past, when Liu Bei rebelled, he had an army of 25,000 people around him, and after killing Che Zhou, he collected the original garrison of Xuzhou, totaling about 40,000 troops. An army of 40,000 sounds like a lot, and it should also have the strength to fight in the face of 65,000 Cao troops. However, among the 40,000 soldiers, 10,000 were the original Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao's troops, although they were incorporated by Liu Bei, they may not be convinced. And about half of the defeated troops that Liu Bei collected from Xuzhou did not completely return to their hearts. If Liu Bei was given a period of time, maybe these people could be completely subdued by Liu Bei, but now Cao Jun is coming in a blink of an eye, so about 17,800 people immediately scattered as birds and beasts.

The remaining 20,000 soldiers were killed and wounded in the process of Cao's army attacking the city, and when Cao's soldiers surrounded Pi, the number of troops in the city was only 12,300, and the number of Cao's army was still more than 60,000.

Xiahoudun and Gao Shun led 20,000 troops to attack the east gate, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong led 20,000 troops to attack the north gate, Zhang Liao led 20,000 troops to attack the west gate, leaving only the south gate unattacked.

Siege three is missing one, and the most commonly used style of play in siege warfare when the number has the absolute upper hand.

On the third day of the siege, Liu Bei's army suffered many casualties, Liu Bei could no longer support it, and on the night of the third day, he led 6,000 remnants of the army to retreat from the south gate.

The whereabouts of Liu Bei and the others were immediately recognized by the Tanma who was ambushed outside the south gate, and immediately reported to Gao Shun and others, and the generals joined forces and came straight to the south gate.

Liu Bei only felt that the Cao army behind him was coming all over the field, and he felt desperate, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. In a hurry, I suddenly heard Guan Yu say to himself: "Big brother is the safety of the world, you must not lose it, leave quickly at this moment, and I will stop the chasing soldiers!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Guan Yu rushed towards Cao Jun with only five hundred people.

Liu Bei mourned and wanted to call Guan Yu back, and he also thought that he would die in the enemy army with him. However, when the words came to his lips, he could not say anything, and although the thought of dying bravely flashed in his mind, he never had the courage to turn it into action.

"I should put the righteousness of the world first, the second brother can't stand it, and I will avenge you for my brother in the future!" Liu Bei thought gloomily in his heart.

"Second brother!" In the face of Guan Yu's generous death, Zhang Fei was also extremely anxious, and immediately wanted to turn the horse's head and advance and retreat with Guan Yu.

"General Zhang, stop!" Just as Zhang Fei wanted to ride out of the horse, Chen Gong hurriedly stopped the other party, "General Zhang wants the lord to die here!" ”

After Guan Yu went out of the palace, it was a helpless move, and it was even necessary for Liu Bei, but it would not be very wise to take a Zhang Fei for nothing.

When Zhang Fei heard this, he had to open his hair, but in the end, he forcibly suppressed the grief in his heart and protected Liu Bei to escape.

Guan Yu led five hundred men to rush towards Cao's army without hesitation, hoping to slow down its advance. But after all, Cao Jun had 60,000 people, and the difference in numbers between the two sides was 120 times! Even though Guan Yu is unstoppable, none of the generals on Cao Jun's side are vegetarians. Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong's martial arts and Guan Yu are between them, and Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Xiahoudun also have the power to fight against Guan Yu.

So Guan Yu was doomed to tragedy, only to see that the five hundred people he brought had been slaughtered, and Guan Yu himself was surrounded by Gao Shun and other five Cao generals.

Surrounded by these five cattle people, let alone him Guan Yu, even if Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is resurrected, I am afraid that he will only have to admit death obediently.

However, even if it is one against five, Guan Yu still wants to fight again, not because he wants to get away with it, he just hopes to buy Liu Bei some more time. Since he broke into the Cao Array, the time that has passed so far is too short, and Liu Bei and the others may not have escaped from the three-mile road. With such a short distance, Cao Jun could catch up in a blink of an eye.

Time, it's too precious, for Guan Yu, even if he can only buy a few dozen breaths of time, he has to do his best to fight for it.

Just as Gao Shun and the others were about to make a move on Guan Yu, I don't know who suddenly shouted: "Caught Liu Bei's family!" ”

Liu Bei fled, naturally it was impossible to take care of everyone, and it was normal for family members to be captured in the chaos.

At this moment, Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes widened, and the murderous aura came out of his body in a moment.

When Guan Yu was full of murderous energy, the Cao soldiers near him were all terrified, and some even had the illusion that they were about to be killed. However, Guan Yu's murderous aura is strong, and it really can't play a deterrent role in the face of the five Cao generals who are close to him.

"Guan Yunchang, are you willing to surrender?" And at this moment when the battle was about to break out, Gao Shun suddenly laughed and said to Guan Yu.

As soon as Gao Shun said this, not only Guan Yu was taken aback, but Xiahoudun and the others also had an incredible look on their faces.

Persuade Guan Yu to surrender? Does this Gao Changgong have a fever in his head?

Who is Guan Yu, everyone knows that he is Liu Bei's sworn brother, and he is only loyal to Liu Bei in his heart, how can he surrender to others?

Of course, Gao Shun understands this, but he knows better that Guan Yu did descend to Cao Cao for a period of time in history. Originally, he didn't have much confidence in persuading Guan Yu to surrender, but when he heard that Liu Bei's family was captured, he knew that the time had come.
