Guan Yu's refusal caught Sun Quan by surprise, and his sentence: "The tiger girl marries a dog." It made Sun Quan a laughing stock of the whole world, which made Sun Quan not angry. The best tea cup didn't know how many were broken by him, and Sun Quan was determined to make Guan Yu pay a painful price in anger.

There is a saying: The Son of Heaven is angry and floats corpses for thousands of miles. After Sun Quan was furious this time, he immediately sent another 50,000 troops to help, and wrote down an order to Zhou Yu: take Ba County at all costs.

After receiving the order, Zhou Yu sighed and then summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures. Among them, the general Gan Ning Gan Xingba said: "The southern end of Shuzhong is the world of barbarians, they have their own system and do not obey the imperial court, why don't the governors send people to lobby the barbarian king Meng Shu, and let him send troops to attack Guan Yu's back, so Guan Yu will inevitably return to the army to block the attack, then our army can take Ba County?" ”

Zhou Yu didn't have a happy expression when he heard Gan Ning's words, and he said worriedly: "I heard that Meng Huo has long been subdued by Han Fei, and there was an army composed of barbarians in Shu, called the Wudang Fei Army, which can be seen from this. If that's the case, I'm afraid this plan will not succeed! ”

"Eh, the Metropolitan Governor is wrong with this! What the barbarian cares about most is profit, as long as most of the governors allow future profits, he can't remember that he is not moved! Gan Ning continued. Zhou Yu frowned and thought about it again and again, and finally decided to follow Gan Ning's suggestion, send a messenger to meet the barbarian Meng Shu, and persuade him to send troops to attack Guan Yu himself. Of course, he also promised on behalf of Sun Quan that after the deed was completed, a large area south of Ba County would be handed over to Meng Huo's command.

On this day, the envoy came to the tribe where Meng Huo lived, and Meng Huo heard that the envoy sent by Sun Quan did not want to see them, and was about to order someone to drive them away. But he didn't want to be stopped by his wife Zhu Rongshi. Zhu Rong said: "Doesn't the king know that Zhou Yu of Eastern Wu is attacking Ba? ”

"I don't know, now the envoy of Eastern Wu is just trying to persuade me to be the enemy of the Qi State, and I, Meng Shu, especially the capricious villain. Since I have promised the military advisor, I should protect the southern Xinjiang for the Qi country for generations. Meng Xu's face turned straight and he said.

Zhu Rongshi nodded after hearing this and said, "What the king said is good, but the concubine thinks that the envoy is still good to meet." If we really came to persuade the king to be an enemy of the Qi country, we might as well ask for some benefits with a lion open our mouth, and then there will be no mutiny. ”

When Meng Shu heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "It's still that Mrs. has a flexible brain, otherwise she will miss the opportunity to make money this time!" Hahaha! Come, please invite the envoy of Dongwu into the cave. ”

Meng Shu ordered someone to go out for a short time and brought an envoy from Eastern Wu, this messenger was Zhou Yu's henchman named Zhou Zhong, he saw Meng Shu salute and then went straight to the point: "My governor heard that the king was oppressed by the Qi country, and now he wants to form an alliance with the king to attack the Qi country, and I hope the king will agree." ”

Before Meng Shu could speak, Zhu Rong, who was sitting next to him, snorted coldly and said, "Saying that you want to form an alliance is empty mouth and white teeth, is it over?" Don't you look down on me as a barbarian? ”

When Zhou Zhongyi heard this, he suddenly shouted in his heart: "Damn! Then he saluted again: "I am very sincere in increasing the governor, and the governor famously said: If you take Ba County, the south of Ba County will be the territory of the king." ”

Meng Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Is that really the case?" Is it possible for most of your governor to call the shots? I remember that King Wu is Sun Quan, right? ”

When Zhou Zhong heard this, he immediately raised his head arrogantly and said: "Don't worry, the king can rest assured, the governor has already reported this matter to King Wu, and King Wu has also agreed, as long as the king sends troops to the south of Ba County, it will be the king's." ”

"Hmmm! I ......"

"Wait!" Meng Shu was just about to speak, but Zhu Rongshi interrupted him and said, "The south of Bajun seems to be not small, but it is just a cake to satisfy hunger, if we barbarians want to send troops, it is okay, but you Wu people should not have some blood first!" ”

"Yes, Madame is right! If the king wants to send troops, just a promise is not enough. Meng Shu followed. Zhou Zhong's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he took a breath and said, "What does the king want?" ”

"The more weapons, the more food, the horses and the more cloth, the better!" Meng Shu was also polite and said directly. In the middle of the week, I felt a little strange in my heart, it seemed that this line was too smooth. He pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I will tell the Metropolitan Governor of the king's request, and the specific amount will be agreed to by the Metropolitan Governor, and I will come again next time!" ”

"Okay, I'll wait for your reply! Someone came to send Wu Envoy away! After Meng Shu finished speaking, two barbarians came in and took Zhou Zhong out of there. After leaving in the middle of the week, Meng Shu chatted with Zhu Rong for a while, and then ordered his henchmen to give Guan Yu a secret report on the fact that Wu sent an envoy to lobby him.

How not to say it here, just say that after Zhou Yu listened to Zhou Zhong's words, he thought for a while and said: "It is okay to give them weapons and cloth, but food and horses must not be given to barbarians." I still need to think about the specific amount, and in the middle of the week, you will go down and rest first after you are tired all the way! ”

In the middle of the week, Zhou Yu paced back and forth, thinking for a long time and didn't come to any results, so he directly reported this problem to Sun Quan, or let Sun Quan have a headache.

Sun Quan received Zhou Yu's report, and he was immediately overjoyed. Unexpectedly, the barbarian did not refuse, but put forward conditions. He immediately ordered Zhou Yu to give Meng 10,000 weapons and 5,000 pieces of cloth. Let him send troops immediately. Meng Shu quickly received a reply, and he immediately promised that as soon as the things arrived, he would immediately send troops to Ba County.

Zhou Yu saw that he talked about this, so he ordered someone to give 10,000 weapons and 5,000 pieces of cloth to Meng Huo, and sure enough, after receiving the items, Meng Huo personally led two barbarians to attack Ba County. When Guan Yu heard the news, he immediately led the army to stop it, which gave Zhou Yu an opportunity.

On the third day after Guan Yu left, Zhou Yu personally commanded the Eastern Wu army to attack the city of Bajun. From morning to night, after a day of fierce fighting, the Wu army climbed the city wall several times, and all of them were beaten back. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Yu and his son went ashore and led the army to attack the city, vowing to take the city before dark.

Just when the Wu army was attacking, they suddenly killed a group of men and horses from their south. The leader is not Guan Yu or anyone. This Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and the Red Rabbit Divine Horse under his crotch, and took the lead in the Wu army. Everywhere he passed, there were stumps and broken arms, and 10,000 light horsemen followed closely behind him, completely tearing open a big hole in the originally dense Wu army.

Zhou Yu was shocked when he saw Guan Yu's figure, and then he thought of something, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body was shaky. The guards hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhou Yu, but saw that his face was already dead, and his eyes were blank. The Wu army was defeated, losing more than 2,000 people, not to mention, the metropolitan governor Zhou Yu vomited blood and then suffered from the wind and cold so that he could not afford to be sick, and the army had to return to Eastern Wu, and the danger of Ba County was solved.
