Chapter 45 Hua Guan Suo

Guan Yu was furious when he heard this: "My tiger son Anken marries a dog girl!" ”

When Zhuge Jin heard this, he wanted to persuade him again, but he saw Guan Yu and said: "My eldest son Guan Ping has already been married, and the second son Guan Xing is still young. The matter of forming an alliance to attack Cao is also possible, and the matter of marrying a wife must not be mentioned again! ”

Zhuge Jin had no choice but to come back to see Han Xuan, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he told the truth.

Han Xuan said angrily: "Okay, you Guan Yunchang, I respect you as a hero, I never thought you were so rude!" ”

Han Xuan was really angered by Guan Yu this time, it doesn't matter if Guan Yu scolded him for being a dog, Han Xuan loved Han Wanqing for such a precious daughter, and now that he was humiliated, Han Xuan would definitely teach this Guan Yu a lesson.

Guan Yu's arrogance and arrogance Han Xuan understands that this is his weakness. Han Xuan summoned Pang Tong, Zhang Zhao and other civil and military officials to discuss the strategy of taking Jingzhou. Shi Guangyuan said: "Cao Cao has long wanted to take Jingzhou, and now he sent an envoy to order Jiangdong to raise troops to swallow Liu Bei. ”

Han Xuan clenched his fists and said, "Gu Yi wants to take Jingzhou for a long time." ”

Pang Tong offered a plan: "Today, Cao Ren is now stationed in Xiangyang and Fancheng, and there is no danger of the Yangtze River, so the dry road can take Jingzhou; How can you not take it, but let the lord mobilize his troops? That's all there is to see his heart. The lord can send an envoy to Xu Du to see Cao Cao, and order Cao Ren to raise troops to take Jingzhou first, and Guan Yu will take Fancheng by taking Jingzhou's troops. If Guan Yu moves, the lord can send a general to secretly take Jingzhou, and he can win it in one fell swoop. ”

Han Xuan listened to Pang Tong's suggestion and immediately sent an envoy across the river to write to Cao Cao and Chen about the matter. Cao Cao was overjoyed, and ordered the envoy to return first, and sent Manzhong to Fancheng to help Cao Ren, as a staff officer, to discuss the mobilization of troops; On the one hand, he galloped to the east of the Yangtze River and ordered the leading troops to respond by waterway in order to take Jingzhou.

However, he said that Guan Yu had been guarding the northern part of Nanjun for a long time and had never had any trouble, but he saw that the troops and horses in the direction of Fancheng were frequently mobilized. At this time, Liu Bei sent Sun Qian to help Guan Yu, it turned out that Zhou Yu knew that Cao Cao wanted to attack Nanjun, and discussed countermeasures with Liu Bei, and specially ordered Guan Yu to strike first, and lead the troops to capture Fancheng before Cao Cao had completed his troops.

Guan Yu received the order, and immediately sent Fu Shiren and Mi Fang as the vanguard, and first led an army to camp outside the city of Nanjun; On the one hand, a banquet was set up in the city to entertain Sun Qian. When the banquet reached the second watch, it was reported that there was a fire in the village outside the city.

Guan Yu hurriedly put on his horse, and when he went out of the city to see, it turned out that Fu Shiren and Mi Fang were drinking, and there was a fire behind the tent, and the camp was shaken, and all the weapons and grain and grass were burned. Guan Yu led the troops to rescue and extinguished the fire until the fourth watch.

Guan Yu entered the city and summoned Fu Shiren and Mi Fang to reproach: "I ordered you to be the vanguard, and they never went out to burn a lot of military weapons, grain and grass first. What is the use of the two of you for such a mistake! ”

Guan Yu ordered him to be beheaded. Sun Qian said: "If you have not left the army, you will behead the general first, which is not good for the army." He may be exonerated for the time being. ”

Guan Yu was angry and scolded the two: "If I don't look at Sun Gongyou's face, I will behead the two of you!" ”

Guan Yu then called on the warriors to give each of them forty rods, take off the vanguard seal, punish Mi Fang to guard Nanjun, and Fu Shiren to guard the public security. Guan Yu said: "If I come back from victory, if there is a slight mistake, I will be punished for both crimes!" ”

The two of them were full of shame and walked away. Guan Yu made Guan Ping the vanguard and marched from the General Chinese Army.

On the way to the vanguard of Guan Ping, a group of people blocked his way. Among them, a young general wearing a turban, holding a big ring knife, Guan Ping was about to come forward to fight, but he saw the man and said: "The person who came is Guan Yu Guan Yun's general?" ”

When Guan Ping heard this, Lerma asked, "Exactly!" Who are you? ”

"I am Guan Suo, the son of Guan Yu, your brother!" The young general replied.

"Thou shalt talk nonsense! I am the eldest son in the family, who are you who dare to pretend to be my brother! Guan Ping felt angry and funny when he heard this.

"Like, really like. You are like immortality. You're an immortal son, aren't you? Indeed, Sol is your brother. Another woman walked out behind Guan Suo, and she looked at Guan Ping and explained.

Guan Ping saw that the two were so sure, so he left them behind and ordered someone to report to Guan Yu. Guan Yu was surprised and delighted when he learned about it, and hurriedly rode a red rabbit horse to meet him.

After Guan Yu saw the woman, tears burst out of his eyes. This woman is Guan Yu's wife Hu when he fell into the grass, Guan Yu was wanted by the government for murder that year, leaving Hu to escape alone, and Hu also returned to his parents' home.

Later, Hu gave birth to a son, who was seven years old when he lost his lantern and was found by the roper. When he was nine years old, he was accepted as a disciple by Mr. Huayue of Banshidong. During this period, he first taught Huang Gong the three strategies, and then learned Lu Wangliutaowen, and learned eighteen kinds of martial arts.

When he was eighteen years old, he missed his parents, returned to the Suo family, asked about his origin, and then took the three family names as his name and named "Huaguan Suo". After that, he and his mother came to Jingzhou to recognize their father.

On the way to Jingzhou, Guan Suo packed up two groups of strongmen, and defeated the soldiers and horses of Baojiazhuang and Lutangzhai, and collected a lot of men. Guan Yu was overjoyed, recognized Guan Suo and his son, made Guan Suo the right vanguard, and led the army straight towards Xiangyang Road with Guan Ping.

Cao Ren was in the city, and suddenly reported that Guan Yu had led his troops. Cao Ren was shocked, he only had less than 3,000 men, and his troops were too small to be prepared to hold out. Deputy General Zhai Yuan said: "Now the king of Wei ordered the general to date Jiangdong to take Jingzhou, and now he has come from him, and he is sending him to death, why avoid it?" ”

The staff officer was full of favors and admonished: "I know that Yun is brave and strategic, and he cannot underestimate the enemy. It's better to stick to it, it's the best policy. ”

Xiao General Xiahou Cun said disdainfully: "This scholar's words." Don't you hear that 'the water comes to cover the earth, and the army is coming'? Our army can win by waiting for work. ”

Cao Ren listened to his words, ordered Manzhong to guard Fancheng, and led his troops to meet Guan Yu. When Guan Yu learned that Cao Bing was coming, he summoned Guan Ping and Guan Suo, and ordered them to go after explaining the strategy.

The two and Cao Bing faced each other in two rounds, and Guan Ping went out to fight. Zhai Yuan came out to greet him. When the two generals fought for a short time, Guan Ping was defeated, turned the horse and left, Zhai Yuan chased and killed from behind, and Guan Yu's soldiers retreated twenty miles.

The next day, Guan Ping came to fight again. Xiahou Cun and Zhai Yuan went out to meet them together, Guan Yu's soldiers were defeated again, and Cao's soldiers chased and killed more than 20 miles. Suddenly, there was a loud shout behind him, the drums and horns sounded in unison, Cao Ren hurriedly ordered the front army to return quickly, and Guan Ping and Guan Suo killed behind him, and Cao Bing was in chaos.

Cao Ren knew that it was a plan, so he first rushed to Xiangyang. A few miles away from the city, the front embroidered flag, Guan Yu pulled the horse and crossed the knife, blocking the way. Cao Ren was frightened, he didn't dare to fight, he looked at Xiangyang and walked diagonally, and Guan Yu didn't chase after him.

After a while, Xiahou Cun led the army to come, saw Guan Yu, and suddenly came to confront Guan Yu, only three together, and was hacked to death by Guan Yu. Zhai Yuan was about to escape, but was caught up by Guan Suo and killed with a knife. Guan Yu took advantage of the situation to wave his army to chase and kill, most of Cao's soldiers died in the Xiangjiang River, and Cao Ren retreated to Fancheng.

Guan Yu won Xiangyang, rewarded the army, and appeased the people. Sun Qian admonished: "The general went down to Xiangyang with a drum, although Cao Bing was frightened, but he said it with foolishness: now Jiangdong Lumengtun soldiers often have the intention of annexing Jingzhou; If you lead the troops to take Jingzhou, what can you do? ”

Guan Yu stroked his long hair and said, "I also think about this." Thou shalt raise the matter: go up and down the river, or twenty or thirty li, and choose Gaofu to dispose of a beacon, each of which shall be defended by fifty troops; If Wu soldiers cross the river, there will be open flames at night, and smoke will be raised during the day. I should strike it myself. ”

Sun Qian said: "Mi Fang and Fu Shiren guard the two passes, and I am afraid that they will not do their best. There must be one more person to be the governor of Jingzhou. ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he said: "I have sent Pan Ping to guard it, what are you worried about?" ”

Sun Qian waved his hand and said: "Pan Ping is jealous and profitable, and he cannot be appointed." Xue Zong, the former governor of the army, replaced him. Xue Zong is loyal and honest. If you use this person, it is foolproof. ”

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "I know that Pan Ping is a person. It is not necessary to change it. Xue Zong's current charge of grain is also a heavy matter. Do not be suspicious, but build a beacon with me. ”

Sun Qian had no choice but to bow down and leave. Guan Yu ordered Guan Ping to prepare ships to cross the Xiangjiang River and attack Fancheng.

However, it was said that Cao Ren folded two generals, retreated to Fancheng, and said to Manzhong: "If you don't listen to the public, the army will be defeated and you will die, and you will lose Xiangyang, what can you do?" ”

Man Chong frowned and said: "Yun Changhu General, resourceful, not to underestimate the enemy, only to hold on." ”

While he was talking, people reported that Guan Yu crossed the river and attacked Fancheng. Cao Ren was shocked and said with full favor: "It's just better to stick to it." ”

The general Lu Chang said excitedly: "A certain beggar has a thousand soldiers, and he is willing to be in the Xiangjiang River." ”

Full Favor admonished: "No. ”

Lu Chang said angrily: "According to the words of you and other civil officials, it is only advisable to hold on, how can you retreat from the enemy?" Don't you hear the art of war: 'The army can be attacked in half a crossing.' 'Now Guan Yu's army is half across the Xiangjiang River, why not attack it? If the soldiers come to the city, they will come to the edge of the trench, and it will be difficult to reach it. ”

Cao Ren immediately allocated 1,000 troops to LΓΌ Chang and ordered him to go out of Fancheng to meet the battle. Lu often came to Jiangkou, only to see the opening of the embroidered flag in front, and Guan Yu went out with a horizontal sword. Lu Chang was ready to come to greet him, but the army behind saw that Guan Yu's army was very strong, and he left first without a fight, and Lu Chang couldn't stop drinking.

Guan Yu came over and killed, Cao's soldiers were defeated, Ma Bu's army folded most of it, and the defeated army rushed back to Fancheng. Cao Ren hurriedly sent someone to ask for help, and the messenger sent the book to Yuzhou in the starry night to present Cao Cao and said: "Guan Yu has broken Xiangyang, and now the siege of Fancheng is very urgent. The general is expected to come to the rescue. ”
