Guan Yu broke Lunu, Zhang Fei entered Xindu, and Zhongshan and Anping have been conquered. After Zhao Yunke's Yuan, the army moved south and surrounded Handan with Zhang Xiu. After Yu Ban and Gao Shun conquered Ganling, they marched to Guangzong City. Julu is facing a three-sided army to suppress it.

Yuan Mai and Tian Ji each had their own thoughts. Yuan Mai, as a member of the Yuan Shao clan, must insist on waiting for help, and Tian Ji has secretly made plans since he received Tian Feng's letter.

Cao Cao heard that Liu Ze had sent troops to Jizhou, and after consolidating Henan Yin, Bingfeng aimed at Lu Bu, who had just been proud.

After Sun Quan became emperor from Yuan Shao, he finally thought of an excuse to attack Yuan Shu, "to be a puppet emperor." "With Zhou Tai and Ding Feng as generals, attack Jiujiang.

The territory occupied by Yuan Shu was not just Jiujiang County, but also included part of Lujiang, Danyang and Yuzhou. This place, not to mention, is densely populated, and the products are also extremely rich, supporting a large army for Yuan Shu.

Liu Bei came to Xiangyang and met Liu Biao, Liu Biao wanted to save face, took Liu Bei's hand, the brothers were long and the brothers were short, and the heat was endless, which moved Liu Bei to a mess. Liu Bei said with tears in his eyes: "Lu Bu is a righteous puppet and took me Yuzhou, so he had to take refuge in my eldest brother." Liu Biao said: "If you come, you will be safe, in the northwest of Wancheng, there is Bowang County, the city is quite large, enough for the virtuous brother to station. Liu Bei chuckled in his heart, Bo Wang, let's also lean on the front line, the gateway of Wancheng, this smiling big brother, is using me as cannon fodder. But he said: "I am grateful to have a place to settle down." Since then, Liu Bei has been stationed in Bowang County, asked Chen Zhi to select elites, train dead soldiers, and when he succeeded, he was sent to Yuzhou to prepare to assassinate Chen Gong.

Liu Bei ran to Xiangyang when he was free and made friends with Xiangyang celebrities.

Although Tian Ji led the troops, he had to be controlled by Yuan Mai. Yuan Mai was cautious and cautious, and Tian Ji had no choice but to wait for the opportunity.

After Guan Yu Lianke went down to Quyang and Yang, the soldiers went to the gall pottery, and Zhang Fei's army also came to the outside of the gall pottery city. Tian Ji felt that the opportunity had come.

Yuan Mai stood at the head of the city, watching Liu Ze's army show off its might outside the city, urging Tian Ji to go out of the city to face the battle, Tian Ji said: "Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, the tiger general of the world, can use soldiers well." I think it's better to stick to it. Yuan Mai sneered: "General Tian isn't afraid, right?" Tian Ji was furious and said, "Don't provoke me. The defenders of the gall Tao are only 30,000, and the people led by Guan and Zhang are 50,000. Yuan Mai sneered: "Defeat the crowd with outnumbered, defeat the strong with the weak, and the famous generals will do the same." General Tian was cowardly before he fought, didn't he have selfish intentions? I heard that Uncle Tian Fengtian was a prisoner of Liu Rundong. Tian Ji was angry, but he looked at Yuan Mai's guards on the left and right, and the hand that wanted to draw the sword was helplessly released.

Seeing this, Yuan Mai wanted to deprive Tian Ji of his military power, but his cronies said: "Tian Ji has been in the army for a long time, and he has great prestige. Yuan Mai said: "Tian Ji was born in the Julu clan, and his uncle Tian Feng is in the hands of Liu Ze, so it is difficult to ensure that he will not have two hearts. The cronie said: "Why don't you send your own guards to guard the army in case of accidents." Yuan Mai said, "Okay." Send the guards to disperse the four gates and supervise the guards. ”

Tian Ji held back the fire in his belly, returned to the camp, and his henchman Tian Meng said: "Why don't the general inspect the city in the name of patrolling the city at night." When the sentry of King Yan's army passed by, he wrote a letter, shot it with an arrow, and exchanged information with the two generals of Guan Zhang. Tian Ji was overjoyed and boasted: "Can't you see that Tian Meng has such a smart plan?" Tian Meng smiled and said: "I have been with the general for a long time, and I just picked up a little tooth wisdom." Tian Ji laughed.

The sentry handed the letter to Guan Yu, and Guan Yu said with a smile: "King Yan persuaded Yuan Hao, Gong and the two gentlemen, but he didn't intend to foreshadow here. Zhang Fei said: "Yun Chang, what are you selling?" Guan Yu said with a smile: "The gall Tao guards Tian Ji, Mr. Yuan Hao's nephew, shoot outside the city tonight, prepare for the agreed date, and dedicate the city." Zhang Fei said: "How to agree?" Guan Yu said with a smile: "When the second letter arrives, the date will be set." ”

Tian Ji saw that there were suddenly dozens of unfamiliar faces around him, and knew that Yuan Mai was still suspicious of himself after all, so he quietly contacted his henchman and set a date, but asked Tian Meng to shoot the letter outside the city.

Yuan Mai focused his defense on the east and west gates and the north gate, and did not pay much attention to the south gate. After two watches that night, Tian Ji inspected the defense and came to the south gate, and Yuan Mai's personal guards followed Tian Ji inch by inch. Outside the city gate, Tian Ji shouted: "Where is Tian Meng? Yuan Mai's guards were stunned, and hundreds of people rushed out of the city gate, and the spears in their hands were pressed against the chests of the guards. A person who looked like the leader of the guards trembled and said, "Tian Ji, what do you want?" Tian Ji sneered: "Lao Tzu wants to sacrifice the city." The leader shouted, "You want to betray Lord Yuan? Tian Ji was too lazy to be verbose, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of Yuan Mai's personal guards immediately saw the king of Hades. Tian Ji said: "Open the city gate and light the fire." ”

Zang Ba and Wei Yan saw that the city was on fire, and led their troops into the city. Tian Ji continued, and said in a loud voice: "The two generals, just fight, but Yuan buys the head and leaves it to the subordinates." Zang Ba roared, "Okay, brother. Tian Ji was stunned and asked Tian Meng, "What did he call me just now?" Tian Meng said: "Call your brother." Tian Ji's heart was shocked, he stepped on the war horse, and said loudly: "Brothers, follow me to kill Yuan Mai." ”

Under the city of gall Tao, Yuan Mai's head was cut off by Tian Ji, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei cleaned up the battlefield and came to the county guard's mansion. Zhang Fei also walked over with a smile, gave Tian Ji a punch in the chest, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan Hao is now the leader of King Yan, and in the future, you and my brothers should be in the same boat." Seeing that Zhang Fei and Zang Ba were so enthusiastic, Tian Ji couldn't help but feel inexplicably excited in his heart, and his eyes were moist.

Yu Ban and Gao Shun took Guangzong as the base point, captured Quzhou, and then suddenly waved their troops south to attack the three counties of Ping'en, Qingyuan, and Guantao.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not lazy, and they used Tian Ji to guard the gall pottery, and then divided the troops into two routes, bypassing the mainland and conquering the southern counties of Julu County.

Yuan Tan was not idle during this time, and transferred the regular army to the two fortified cities of Handan and Yecheng, and hoarded a large amount of grain and grass materials, ready to be used for bargaining.

Yuan Tan's actions indirectly helped Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yu Ban and others. The counties passed by the three-way army were only guarded by hundreds of county soldiers, and the county treasury had already bottomed out.

Yuan Tan looked at the army that surrounded him, the army was tightly organized, the morale was high, and he was timid, and said to Xin Ping: "Zhongzhi, King Yan's army is so tightly organized, I don't know if our army can hold it?" Xin commented and said: "Handan and Yecheng are not comparable to other cities, and the huge stone plugs the door, don't worry about Ming Gong." Yuan Tan turned pale and nodded.

In Handan City, Zhu Ling is the main general, supplemented by Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan. Zhu Ling watched Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu's army galloping back and forth under the city, fierce and fierce, and said hatefully: "If you talk about field battles, our army may not be able to defeat them." Such a strong city, if you have the ability, fly up. Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan laughed and echoed Zhu Ling and said: "The grain and grass in the city are enough for the army to support more than a year, and let's see what means the Yan Wang army has to attack the city." ”

After more than ten days of preparation, hundreds of stone-throwing trucks stood outside Yecheng, and the three-way army divided its troops to attack the city on three sides. Zhang He said: "Mo Ruo joined forces and concentrated attacks to increase power. Guan Yu bowed his head and said: "The words of the good are good." ”

Guan Yu rode around the city on horseback, and saw that the four city walls were tall and strong, Wei Yan pointed to one place and said: "Yun Chang, please see, the plaster of the city wall here is still fresh, and it should be strengthened soon." Guan Yu squinted Danfeng's eyes, looked carefully, and sure enough, he saw that a section of the city wall in the east city was newly reinforced, so he ordered the stone throwing truck to attack this section of the city wall.

Hundreds of stone throwing trucks, after three days of smashing, the newly reinforced city wall is shaky and has a tendency to topple. Guan Yu and the others had happy faces and ordered to continue throwing stones.

Five days later, that section of the city wall could not withstand the attack of the big stones, and collapsed in half, filling in the moat outside Yecheng. Gao Shun said angrily: "The trapped camp is willing to go to the city first." "Guan Yu Zhuangzhi, Gao Shun was overjoyed, led eight hundred soldiers in the camp, and went forward to kill.

Yuan Tan is in a hurry, Xin Zhongzhi, Xin Zhongzhi, you have a way. Guo Tu said on the side: "Xin Zhongzhi, it's all your good idea, the city wall has been broken in five days, how can Ming Gong insist?" Xin commented: "Eight hundred soldiers, delusional want to go to the city, Ming Gong and look at my means." Yuan Tan had no choice but to say: "Zhongzhi is responsible for guarding the city. ”

Gao Shun's 800 soldiers were not afraid of arrows, staring at the rain of arrows and coming to the bottom of the city wall. Guan Yu had already sent archers to shoot at the defenders of the city to suppress the opponent's arrows. Gao Shun put the ladder on the half-section of the city wall and rushed to the first.

Xin Ping waved the command flag, in mid-air, but saw the boulders and sassal trees rolling down, and the soldiers in the camp relied on their dexterity to dodge continuously. But you can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth, so many stones, sassal wood, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to dodge them all, and many soldiers who have fallen into the camp have fallen under the city or been hit. Gao Shun watched the tragic death of the robe, who shared life and death, and his heart was like a knife. Seeing this, Guan Yu had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Wei Yan said: "Yun Chang, can you continue the attack with a stone-throwing cart, avoid the wall of the dumping place, prevent the enemy from supporting from the city, and then shoot the defenders at the head of the city with archers, and use the army to press on it, and win in the chaos." Guan Yu said: "Okay." ”

The catapult began to jump in the direction and began to attack the city wall a little farther away, and the archers hid behind their shields and fired arrows at the head of the city, and five thousand soldiers raised the ladder and began to attack the city.

When Xin Ping saw the enemy's arrangement, he had already thought of a countermeasure. The ladder was set up at the head of the city, and countless arrows rained down behind the city wall, and countless arrows were hit. When thousands of soldiers climbed to the upper part of the ladder, stones suddenly flew out of the city and smashed into the toppled section of the wall. The siege soldiers were killed and wounded innumerable. The ladder was hit by a stone and snapped, and all the soldiers on the ladder fell, causing heavy damage. Guan Yu saw that he couldn't make contributions, so he had to retreat.

Taking advantage of the night, Xin Ping ordered the workers to repair the city wall, and the walls of the city were intertwined, so that even without plaster, it was extremely strong. When Guan Yu waited for Tianming to attack the city again, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that the fallen city wall was as intact as ever.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu discussed the siege of the city, the two of them have been mainly cavalry for many years, rarely attacking fortifications, looking at the tall walls of Handan City, the two of them discussed for a long time, and finally felt that it was mainly to smash the wall with a stone thrower, and first do the temptation.

Yuan Tan watched that overnight, Xin Ping actually made people repair the city wall as before, and he was overjoyed, and really praised Xin Ping a few words, so that Xin Ping continued to command and defend the city. This made Guo Tu very unhappy, thinking about how to take some power out of Xin Ping's hands, and it was so majestic.
