Guan Yu's condition was not very good, and after Liu Yi ordered someone to count the battlefield, he took the doctors and craftsmen in the city to treat Guan Yu.

"Tinghou rest assured, the prince is just tired from fighting for a long time, and it will be good to recuperate for a while, and try not to be like this again recently." After the doctor took Guan Yu's pulse, he smiled and said with relief: "After all, the prince is ...... old."

"Huh?" Guan Yu raised his head and glanced at the doctor craftsman, who swallowed back the words in his heart.

"Let's go down first." Liu Yi nodded and motioned for the medical craftsman to leave first.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Guan Yu is fifty-nine years old this year, and it has been thirty-four years since the three brothers got married during the Zhongping period, and they have fought for most of their lives, and their physical fitness has already passed their peak, and last time Hua Tuo told Liu Yi that there are still many secret injuries on his body.

In fact, Liu Yi is not very in favor of Guan Yu still carrying a knife into battle at this age, but there is no way, Liu Bei Group has many outstanding generals now, but there are no generals of this level who can really replace Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, not only in terms of martial arts, but also in terms of experience and ability in commanding troops.

"Prince!" Liu Yi sat down a little helplessly, looked at Guan Yu and said with a wry smile: "This matter of going into battle to kill the enemy, leave it to Liao Hua and them to do, why bother the prince and the marquis to go into battle in person?" ”

Guan Yu glanced at Liu Yi and said indifferently: "Bo Yuan thinks, who can replace me?" ”

"This ......" Liu Yi thought about it, on this battlefield, not only must be able to fight thousands of troops, but also have to judge the situation, those who have this ability and vision, not to mention Liu Bei's command, looking at the world, I'm afraid I can't find a few.

"At present, although Cao Ren has withdrawn from the army, but for Cao Jun, the vitality is not injured, and next, Fang is a real big war, and there are many people and horses who have been lost in Xiangyang over time, and it is about to be a decisive battle with Cao Jun, if the prince and marquis make a mistake, our army will be shaken." Liu Yi looked at Guan Yu and smiled bitterly.

In the field battle, he was able to fight a one-to-two battle loss in the case of being outnumbered, and even defeated the Cao army, which is really not something that ordinary generals can do, but if Guan Yu has any three strengths and two weaknesses, the blow to the Jingzhou army is far from being comparable to these thousands of Cao troops.

As the most famous military general under Liu Bei's command, Guan Yu's safety represents by no means himself, why would Cao Ren prefer to use a thousand cavalry to fight hard after seeing Guan Yu go out alone? It is because Cao Ren knows very well that once Guan Yu dies, the morale of the entire Jingzhou army will be shaken, and it is not the kind of time it has been, don't look at Guan Yu who is unruly many times, but he represents the military soul of the Jingzhou army, and the spirit of the entire Jingzhou army is Guan Yu, if Guan Yu is lost, then the state of the entire Jingzhou army may have problems.

"Bo Yuan doesn't need to worry, others regard Cao Jun as an elite, and a certain person regards him as a local chicken." Guan Yu stretched out his hand and touched his long beard, and said proudly.

Liu Yi: "......"

If you don't shake your hands when you say this, I almost believe it.

"The prince and rest first, the lord will be here in a few days, and I will build the city wall as soon as possible." Liu Yi nodded, it was not easy to poke Guan Yu, and he got up and said goodbye.

"If Bo Yuan has time, can he build a house for someone?" Guan Yu said to Liu Yi's back, living in the house built by Liu Yi, his physical strength and energy recovered quickly, and Guan Yu had already discovered this.

"It's already being built, and within two days, it should be ready to move in!" Liu Yi nodded, did not stop, and strode away.

Guan Yu looked at his trembling right hand, he couldn't control it at all, as long as he made a move, he kept shaking, this was a phenomenon of detachment, Liu Yi obviously saw it just now, which made Guan Yu feel a little embarrassed.

……

"How can you let the prince go into battle in person?" Liu Yi left Guan Yu's house, and when he came out, he summoned Liao Hua, before Guan Yu, he was not angry, looking at Liao Hua at the moment, Liu Yi was a little dissatisfied: "I asked you to follow the prince to fight, just to let you see the prince and the marquis show great might?" The prince is nearly sixty years old this year, do you know? ”

"The last will be convicted!" Liao Hua could only smile bitterly, Guan Yu's temper, he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.

"Send more people to find out the movements of the main force of the Cao army, and urge the lord to come over quickly, the prince and the marquis...... I can't persuade him, but now he is really not suitable to continue to charge! Liu Yi said with some distress, in the entire Liu Bei group, I am afraid that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are the only ones who can persuade Guan Yu now.

"Whoa!" Liao Hua bowed down and agreed, and left.

……

On the other side, Cao Ren took Sima Yi and fled all the way to the vicinity of Yuyang before stopping.

In fact, Cao Ren didn't really prepare to escape, he just wanted to avoid Guan Yu's pursuit, after all, Guan Yu's ability to kill the generals from the chaotic army was too impressive, Cao Ren at that time saw Guan Yu charging at himself, and instinctively wanted to run, but he just changed the direction and continued to command the battle, who knows who didn't know who shouted so loudly, and then it was all chaos.

The two armies are fighting, and even if you have few people, as long as the army in front begins to rout, the army in the rear will definitely follow, and the defeat is like a mountain to describe this battle.

Reintegrated the troops, lost nearly 6,000 people, not only lost the battalion, baggage, but also lost more than half of the soldiers and horses, which made Cao Ren a little uncomfortable, this Guan Yu's performance on the battlefield today, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an old thing who is nearly sixty years old!

"General, can you ...... Let someone help me down! Sima Yi lay on the back of the horse in a very indecent posture, he was about to vomit out the bile along the way, and looked at Cao Ren with some resentment, until now he didn't understand why Cao Ren wanted to run, although Guan Yu was brave, but the disadvantage in the army was not so easy to smooth out, in Sima Yi's opinion, the number of wins and losses was still more on his side, and as a result, Cao Ren ran like this, completely defeated.

It's just that Sima Yi didn't dare to speak, nor did he dare to ask.

"Oh!" Cao Ren nodded, ordered someone to help Sima Yi down, looked at the chaotic army, and said a little distractedly: "Guan Yunchang's power has not diminished back then!" ”

Sima Yi was a little speechless when he heard this, no matter how powerful he was, he was just an old man, what were he afraid of, did he really think that he was capable of fighting thousands of troops?

"The general doesn't need to be like this, although this battle is lost, it will not damage the vitality of our army, and it will not be too late to fight again when the King of Wei is converging." Sima Yi said with relief.

With Cao Cao's family background, these thousands of men and horses are really not a loss, and the most important thing is the morale and morale of the army, which is the most important.

Cao Ren nodded and didn't say anything.

Sima Yi was very curious about what Cao Ren thought, but at the moment this is obviously not the key, he was repelled by Guan Yu, and he had to find another place to go down to the village, ready to meet Cao Cao's army, but Sima Yi was more worried about the impact of this defeat, since Liu Bei sent his troops, he won successive battles, which undoubtedly boosted the confidence of those people in Nanyang, and now that the main force of Cao's army is gathered here, I am afraid that there will be a riot in the rear, although Cao Cao is prepared, but how Cao Cao is specifically prepared to do, Sima Yi can't guess.

"Zhongda will write a recital for me." After a long time, Cao Ren looked at Sima Yi and said.

After eating such a big defeat, how to explain to Cao Cao is a problem, Cao Ren himself doesn't know how to write, so he simply handed over the matter to Sima Yi to do, after all, he is a literati, full of economy, and it should not be difficult to polish this defeat with some softer words, he just saved his life, and now it is time for Sima Yi to repay his kindness.

"Whoa!" Sima Yi quickly understood Cao Ren's thoughts, and nodded, this matter should really be thought about how to explain to Cao Cao.

Cao Ren began to order people to look for suitable places in the surrounding area, and as for the book, it was quickly written by Sima Yi and sent to Cao Cao.

……

When Cao Cao received Cao Ren's report, it was already the next day.

The snow on the ground began to melt, making the roads muddy, and Cao Cao's main army marched slowly, looking at the battle report sent by Cao Ren, Cao Cao frowned, and then sighed.

"King Wei, what happened?" Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao suspiciously.

"Zixiao is defeated!" Cao Cao handed the battle report to Cheng Yu and sighed: "Yun Chang...... Alas~"

Cheng Yu took the battle report and read it carefully, and his brows gradually frowned.

How could Cao Ren's ability be so easily defeated by Guan Yu? In the battle report, the course of the battle was not explained in detail, but it was said that Guan Yu personally led his troops to fight, and Cao Ren was not angry, and went out of the city to fight with him, but was defeated and retreated.

On the contrary, in the process of defeat, how Cao Ren commanded and dispatched was very detailed, Cheng Yusuan could see that Cao Ren did not want to be responsible, and it is estimated that Cao Cao did not mean to punish Cao Ren, otherwise how could this kind of thing be concealed from Cao Cao? Cheng Yu naturally wouldn't be this villain at this time, just looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "As far as Yu knows, there are not too many soldiers and horses in Jingzhou now, although General Zixiao is defeated, but the Jingzhou army is afraid that it will also lose a lot, and our army is now victorious." ”

"But Liu Bei is not easy to get along with!" Cao Cao nodded, the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides, Cao Cao saw it very clearly, Liu Bei's army was well-equipped, his combat power was strong, and the rear was relatively stable, but this stability was exchanged for Liu Bei's unrelieved mobilization of soldiers and horses in the rear.

As for the shortcomings of Cao Jun, that is, the rear is unstable, the rebellion of Geng Ji and those people is just the beginning, the real problem is still in Nanyang itself, if it is not handled properly, it is a large number of soldiers in the hand, and it is difficult to reverse the decline, but if the rear can be stabilized, it is consumed to consume Liu Bei to death, and the advantage of comprehensive heritage is not something that equipment can make up, at least not in this era, which is why Cao Cao has always wanted to suppress Liu Bei.

To put it mildly, Liu Bei won Nanyang, Cao Cao was not afraid, but the population must not be left to Liu Bei, even if Nanyang was abolished, Cao Cao would never let Liu Bei win the people of Nanyang so easily.

"It's really hard to think about, but to win our army, I'm afraid it's not easy." Cheng Yu smiled and nodded, the current Liu Bei has become a trend, and it is indeed difficult to deal with, but if he wants to have a hard encounter with Cao Cao, the current Liu Bei is almost good!
