Although after several battles in a row, the Jingzhou soldiers have suffered a lot of losses, but the people who are still alive today have completely transformed into veterans of the battlefield, and they are countless times better than before in terms of experience and adaptability. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The number of veterans brought out of Jingzhou in the Jingzhou army is decreasing, but the combat strength has increased a lot. Although many people die in every big war, not many of these veterans die, and the deaths are basically new recruits or surrenders.

As the saying goes, the big waves sweep the sand, and the sand is blown to the gold!

Liu Yong had this kind of plan before, but it was not easy for him to recruit troops, and he was reluctant to let the soldiers lose, and there were not many battles in Jingzhou, so he was put aside, but he didn't expect to train these tens of thousands of soldiers this time.

However, after Zhao Yun and Gao Ran captured Ancheng, Liu Yong did not let them get much rest, and directly ordered Zhao Yun and Wei Yan to be sent to capture the Pingyu-Runan governance office, and Gao Ran took Baoxin and Xin Cai, and as for the problems related to governance, they were directly thrown to Lu Su, such as Wang Cang, Liu Xian and others, and directly threw them to Lu Su for use.

Knowing that Zhao Yun and Wei Yan led the army to attack Pingyu, Mu Wang Si of Yuzhou in Runan suddenly panicked. Wang Si is only a civil official, and he has never experienced war, he has been reported by scouts before, Zhao Yun has captured several cities in a row, and now he didn't expect to really attack Pingyu. Although he had made a lot of preparations before, he was still not at ease, and as soon as he got the report, he immediately sent someone to invite several subordinate generals to come and discuss.

Guo Dan, Cheng Ke, He Mao, the general from Yuan Shao, and Zhang Jing should have been invited to flee to Pingyu, but Zhu Ling was seriously injured when he fled to Pingyu and could only be bedridden, and Wang Si could only discuss with a few people by himself.

Guo Dan came out of the column and bowed his hand to Wang Si slightly: "My lord, although Zhao Yun and Wei Yan and others are brave, but after all, they must have lost a lot of soldiers in successive battles, and they have just broken through Runan after a hard battle, and they must be tired of the soldiers, and this time they came to attack the city non-stop, it is better for me to wait for work, and as soon as they arrive, they will immediately go to battle, kill them by surprise, if they can take advantage of this big victory, they will take advantage of the victory to pursue, if they can't win, they will enter the city to hold on, and at the same time immediately ask for reinforcements from Xuchang." ”

Cheng Ke also nodded in agreement, as for He Mao, as a demoted general, he naturally knew his position, and he had other opinions and agreed with Guo Dan's strategy. Zhang Jing didn't know anything about warfare, so he could only be silent as an audience. Wang Si had no other good way, so he could only agree with Guo Dan's opinion, straighten out the people, wait for Zhao Yun and Wei Yan to come, and immediately go out of the city to face the battle.

Just when Pingyu was preparing to fight, Guan Yu and Xu Shu got a report from the scouts, and Cao Xiu led his troops out of Wancheng and went straight to Xinye to kill.

Both of them were stunned: "This Cao Xiu is too violent, he has only been here for a few days, and he has come to attack, and there is no warning in advance, is he going to eat Xinye?" ”

However, this is not the time for them to be stunned, and immediately sent an order, the battalions outside the city entered the city for defense, Guan Yu led an army of 20,000 to Shuyang to station, Zhou Cang was the deputy general, Xu Shu accompanied the army to meet the Cao army and sent Zang Ba at the same time, waiting for the opportunity to move, leaving Pang Ji and others to guard Xinye.

Guan Yu arrived in Shuyang half a day later, Cao Jun had arrived twenty miles outside Shuyang, learned that Guan Yu had raised troops to come, and knew that the plan to capture Shuyang had failed, and he did not dare to slack off, so he immediately set up camp on the spot, and sent someone to send a war letter to Guan Yu to make an appointment to fight.

When Guan Yu saw the war book, he scolded Guan Yu for his treachery, betrayal and forgetfulness, and listed a series of charges against Guan Yu, especially when Guan Yu was in Xuchang, he was treated well by Cao Cao, but he didn't want to repay his kindness, didn't listen to the general's orders, and went out of Xuchang, crossed five passes and beheaded six generals, and was rebellious.

As everyone knows, Guan Yu has always cared most about the word Xinyi, and now he was scolded by Cao Xiu, and immediately became furious, and immediately beheaded the envoys who came to deliver the war letter, and ordered his entourage to bring the head back to Cao Xiu.

Guan Yu stroked his beard with his left hand, half-grasped his right hand, and put his index finger and middle finger together into a sword, pointing directly at the envoy's entourage: "Bold Cao Xiu, he actually talked nonsense, reversed black and white, for Cao Cao's kindness, Guan Mou had already beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou to repay, and today he dared to talk nonsense, go back and ask him to wash his neck, and wait for him to behead him!" Originally, the two armies did not fight and did not kill the envoys, but Cao Xiu was bold, Guan made an exception today, and beheaded the envoys to ask for the crime, so that Cao Xiu knew the end of the nonsense! ”

When the entourage saw that the messenger was beheaded, their legs were weak from fright, where did they dare to have other words, they only nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice, and when Guan Yu finished speaking, they hurriedly thanked and fled, lest Guan Yu change his mind and kill them all.

Cao Xiu saw that the envoy he sent to deliver the war letter only had one head back, and after listening to the report of his entourage, he was furious: "The traitor Guan Yu, not only did he not repent, but he even dared to kill the envoy, and even dared to betray the rule that the two armies did not kill the envoy in battle, it was really shameless." After Cao defeated your army, how to humiliate you by catching you! ”

Cao Xiu's generals Qi Ji and Liu Zhu immediately echoed and scolded Guan Yu for being unkind and unjust, only Liu Xuan, who joined the army, stood quietly aside.

"Liu Gongsi, you don't say a word, I don't know what you mean?" When Cao Xiu saw Liu Xuan's appearance, he was immediately displeased.

Liu Hui is neither humble nor arrogant, and he doesn't say much about Cao Xiu, just one sentence: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, the general must not reverse black and white, and he must not underestimate the enemy because of anger!" ”

Cao Xiu was angry, and when he saw Liu Xuan talking like this, he was naturally unhappy, and immediately asked sharply: "Liu Xiu, you actually said such words in front of the court that shook the morale of the army, boosted the morale of the enemy, and destroyed your own prestige, do you have a rebellious heart?" ”

Hearing Cao Xiu's stern question, Liu Hui did not have a trace of fear, and replied calmly: "Since I voted for Cao Gong, I have been loyal and have not acted unsubordinately, if the general wants to say this, I have nothing to say." ”

Cao Xiu heard that Liu Hui didn't give himself face at all, and was about to find someone to be angry, so he immediately said: "Don't you say that I forgot, you were Liu Biao's subordinates, and now I see that your colleagues are dignitaries in Jingzhou one by one, it seems that they want to betray, maybe they have already collaborated with the enemy, come, take Liu Hui down for me!" ”

Liu Xuan didn't resist either, and let someone tie him up, Qi Ji couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and said: "General, now that the war is currently in the present, I am afraid that it will shake the morale of the army and be unfavorable to the war." Although Liu Hui was originally a subordinate of Liu Biao, but since he joined Cao Gong, there has indeed been no rebellious move, and the general is still temporarily dissipated. ”

Liu Zhu also said: "The general can temporarily write down his crimes, and if there is really a rebellious act, he can be killed immediately." Besides, his family is still in Wancheng, as long as he is strictly guarded, he will be fine. ”

Cao Xiu also realized at this time that he had gone too far, so he went down the steps: "Since the two generals intercede for you, I will spare you for the time being, if there is really a rebellious act, behead him immediately, and ask for the guilt together with your family!" ”
