"Chase! Don't let go of that group of Jingzhou soldiers! Guan Yu ordered angrily. Guan Ping and Liao Hua on the side wanted to persuade, but they also knew that persuasion was useless. Guan Yu has always been above the top, always arrogant to scribes, but very friendly to ordinary soldiers. But this friendliness is not that Guan Yu really regards the soldiers as equal to himself, but puts himself in a high position, and his friendliness is just a kind of mercy for ordinary people.

For the equality of being given by others, few people will really be grateful to Dade, not to mention that Guan Yu has never cared about the eyes of others. In Guan Yu's opinion, there are few people in this world who can convince him, even if it is today, Guan Yu is not in his eyes. Of course, Liu Xie never expected to be able to recruit this righteous second master. Even if this Guan Erye was respected as a martial saint in later generations, Liu Xie had no masochistic tendencies, and after having Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and other fierce generals who did not lose to Guan Yu in martial arts, his desire for Guan Yu was naturally not as strong as Cao Cao. Having a subordinate under his hand who has no one in his eyes is actually quite annoying.

After Wei Yan was ordered to go out of the city to ambush Liu Bei's army, he first went to Bowangpo to make arrangements. In fact, there is not much that he needs to do personally, long before Wei Yan proposed the fire attack, Li Ru had already ordered people to start preparations, and the things that should be used have already been prepared, Wei Yan is just an on-site executor.

Wei Yan, who was unwilling to be an executor, found that Bowangpo had nothing to do by himself, so he discussed with Hu Che'er, who came with him, and handed over the matter of arson to Hu Che'er, and the matter of luring the enemy was called to himself. Knowing that Wei Yan wanted to show something, Hu Che'er did not fight with Wei Yan, and after telling Wei Yan to pay attention to safety, he handed over most of the soldiers and horses in his hands to Wei Yan. And Wei Yan is indeed a general, after knowing that Liu Beijun's vanguard general is Guan Yu, he immediately made arrangements for Guan Yu's weaknesses.

Guan Yu's weakness is probably that he is too arrogant and can't tolerate the slightest contempt from others. And what Wei Yan wanted to do was to stir up Guan Yu's anger and let him pursue him desperately.

How to stir up Guan Yu's anger? It's not that hard. Wei Yan didn't go to the scolding array, the anger of being scolded by a few swear words was also easy to persuade others to regain his calm.

Generally, arrogant people care most about being looked down upon. Wei Yan divided his 2,000 men into four teams, personally led the team, and led 500 people to attack Guan Yu's brigade each time. A team of five hundred people, no matter how brave Wei Yan is, I am afraid that he will not be able to shake the 20,000 elite soldiers under Guan Yu.

The first time he attacked, Guan Yu didn't take it seriously, and ordered his eldest son Guan Ping to lead his troops to repel him. But before Guan Ping could rest for a while, Wei Yan attacked with a second team. This time, Guan Yu let Liao Hua fight, and as a result, Wei Yan was easily driven away. What made Guan Yu dissatisfied was that before the army had gone far, Wei Yan came running for the third time.

Wei Yan's attack did not cause much damage to Guan Yu's soldiers and horses, and he often left after a fight, and he did not mean to fight with Guan Yu. But again and again, he came to find trouble, which made Guan Yu's heart a little unhappy. Until this time, Guan Yu still remained calm, but Wei Yan's fourth attack finally made Guan Yu go crazy.

This time, Wei Yan didn't go to the trouble of ordinary soldiers, but directly found Guan Yu. Due to the first three attacks, Guan Ping and Liao Hua mistakenly thought that Wei Yan was just a mediocre general with no ability, and they didn't know who they had offended and sent them to do this death. But he didn't want Wei Yan to be extremely brave this time, not only resisted the joint efforts of Guan Ping and Liao Hua, but even rushed to Guan Yu's face, without waiting for Guan Yu to open his mouth.

Guan Yu was!

Only then did he ignore and ordered the whole army to pursue, vowing to capture Wei Yan alive who ran away after giving the gift. Guan Ping and Liao Hua both secretly felt that something was wrong with tonight, but Guan Yu was angry at this time, and neither of them dared to persuade him. And in the eyes of the two, even if this Wei Yan is here to lure the enemy, with the combat strength of the Jingzhou army, he will not be able to help himself at that time.

"General Guan, General Guan is slow." Just when Guan Yu was about to chase after him in person, Ma Yan, who was in the rear team, hurried over. The reins of Guan Yu's horse said, "General Guan, be careful of deception. ”

"Hmph, Guan has been fighting for many years, how can he hide his plan to lure the enemy, I don't have to worry about it." Guan Yu snorted coldly. Guan Yu was very reluctant to serve as his military advisor, but this Ma Jian was personally recommended by his brother, so he had no choice but to admit it, but it would be a little difficult for him to recognize Ma Tan's ability.

Ma Jian also knew Guan Yu's temper, but the stakes were very high, as a military advisor, he must be responsible, seeing Guan Yu's insistence, he had to say again: "General Guan, the imperial court will not sit idly by and watch the lord take Jingzhou, according to reliable information, today's Wancheng is actually the imperial court's iron wall army responsible for garrisoning." General Fang Cai Guan also said that this was the Han army's plan to lure the enemy, so why did General Guan insist on chasing it? ”

"Young Chang, even if there is an ambush of the Han army in front, with the strength of our army, will you still be afraid? If you're scared, stay in the back team and take care of it. Liao Hua, you stay in charge of protecting the young Chang. Guan Yu didn't allow Ma Jian to continue talking, and directly ordered Liao Hua to drag Ma Jian to the back team.

"Yuan Jian, you just watched General Guan make mistakes?" Ma Tan is a literati, and his strength is not as great as Liao Hua, but he was dragged away by Liao Hua and was unwilling, so he had to ask Liao Huadao.

Liao Hua looked ahead when he heard this, and found that Guan Yu had disappeared, so he sighed and said: "Young Chang, you and I are both people from Jingzhou, so I advise you, our General Guan is very arrogant, in the entire Jingzhou except for the lord, there are only three generals who can let General Guan take a look, even if it is Zhuge Junshi or Liao Junshi, it is not in the eyes of General Guan." ”

“…… But if he insists on going his own way, it will ruin the lord's big business. Ma Tan said anxiously when he heard this.

"Bad things are also his Guan Yu's responsibility, as long as you do your duty, the lord will not blame you."

"Yuan Jian, how can you shirk your responsibilities like this?" Ma Tan looked at Liao Hua with some surprise and asked.

"Huh...... You don't know General Guan for a long time, but I've been working with him for almost two years. A word of advice, if you came here to prove your abilities, you are in the wrong place. In General Guan's place, his old man's words are holy decrees, and others cannot be allowed to disobey them, even if they are wrong. Liao Hua said with a wry smile.

"Don't you care?"

"What does the lord do? Although the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, they are also thick and thin, and General Guan is obviously the palm of the hand. ”

……

Just when Liao Hua shared his experience of doing things under Guan Yu with Ma Yan, Guan Yu, who personally led the team to pursue Wei Yan, also rushed into Bowangpo with people. Wei Yan really put his heart into it, even if he ran away, he kept a distance from Guan Yujun, which didn't make people feel that he couldn't catch up, but he couldn't catch up.

During this period, Guan Yu was even ready to give up chasing twice, but each time he asked Wei Yan to take someone to kill the horse pistol to rekindle the anger.

"Father, father!" Just when Guan Yu was about to increase his strength to catch up with Wei Yan not far ahead, Guan Ping suddenly rushed over with a panicked expression.

"What?" Guan Yu asked unhappily.

"Father, get out of here quickly, the Han army is ready to attack with fire." Guan Ping couldn't explain, and hurriedly told Guan Yu about his inference. Guan Yu, who was reminded, only noticed the surrounding environment at this time, and faintly smelled the smell of sulfur oil.

Guan Yu's face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly wanted to withdraw his troops. said that it was too late, and at the same time that Guan Yu was about to loudly order the whole army to stop, Hu Che'er, who had been waiting for a long time, shot the first rocket, followed by the Han soldiers who were ambushed at the top of the slope, and also ignited the rocket in their hands and shot it into the bottom of the slope.

There was already lush vegetation, but now Hu Che'er led people to splash a large number of flammable things, and in an instant Bowangpo turned into a sea of fire. Guan Yu's face changed greatly until this time, the battlefield was fighting, Guan Yu was not afraid of anyone, but only this situation of fire and water, Guan Yu was powerless. Seeing his subordinates making a mess and fleeing for their lives, Guan Yu was also at a loss for a while.

"Father, listen." Guan Ping grabbed Guan Yu's horse reins and said urgently.

Guan Yu listened attentively when he heard this, and sure enough, he faintly heard the sound of war drums, which may still be a trick of the Han army to lure the enemy, but it is better to break through in one direction than to stay here and be burned alive.

Guan Yu lifted his spirits, took the lead, and led everyone to kill in the direction where the war drums came from......

When he finally rushed out of the sea of fire, Guan Yu realized that the war drums he had just heard were beaten by Ma Tan. Guan Yu was very embarrassed, he looked down on Ma Yan, thinking that this person was too young to be entrusted with important tasks, but he didn't want to be able to escape, thanks to the response of others.

"General Guan, the army has been frustrated, and it is not easy to fight again, so it is better to retreat first, stabilize the position and then make other plans." Ma Tan stepped forward and suggested.

Guan Yu subconsciously reached out to stroke his hair, this is Guan Yu's old habit, and Guan Yu is also extremely satisfied with his beautiful hair. But I didn't want to reach out this time but smeared a handful of dust. It turned out that Guan Yu was the first to rush out of the sea of fire, and the deputy chief and the beautiful hair of the dantian were also unlucky, and they were burned by the fire and burned a lot. Guan Yu stretched out his hand and wiped it, and his beautiful hair suddenly looked like he had been gnawed by a dog.

No one dares to laugh! Even if this scene is indeed a little funny, it can be thought of Guan Yu's angry scene, and the laughter can only be choked.

"As I always say." Guan Yu was in no mood to be polite with Ma Yan, and nodded in a flat voice.

Ma Jian also knew what Guan Yu was, and he didn't care, so he immediately let Liao Hua break off with him, and let those who had just escaped from the fire retreat with Guan Yu to comfort their injured hearts.

"It's a pity, if there is a team now, maybe they can defeat Liu Bei's vanguard." Wei Yan, who was hiding in the shadows to observe the enemy's situation, said to Hu Che'er on the side with some regret.

After hearing this, Hu Che'er put down the clairvoyance in his hand and smiled at Wei Yan: "Wen Chang, I advise you, even if someone uses it for you now, you'd better stay away from Guan Yu." ”

"Why?" Wei Yan asked puzzled.

"First of all, Guan Yu's martial arts are amazing, and the truth of trapped beasts doesn't need to be explained to you. Secondly, the beautiful hair that Guan Yu values very much makes you burn like a dog has gnawed on it, you appear at this time, Guan Yu doesn't peel you off your bones. ”

"Huh? It's true? ”

"Of course, I will borrow it from you." Hu Che'er said and handed the clairvoyance in his hand to Wei Yan. Wei Yan took it and looked at Guan Yu according to Hu Che'er's instructions, and couldn't help but snort, "I have long heard that this Guan Yu is arrogant, I see how arrogant he will be in the future after this time." Hey, this clairvoyant ......."

"Give me back." Hu Che'er quickly snatched it back and put it into his arms. Seeing this, Wei Yan said dissatisfiedly: "Borrow it from me, why are you so stingy?" ”

"It's not that I'm stingy, it's that your current level is not enough, so you can't use this thing." Hu Che'er explained, and then comforted: "But you don't have to be depressed, with today's work, when you go back, your official position will be promoted, and your clairvoyance will also be lowered." ”

Wei Yan's face improved when he heard this, but then he asked curiously: "This thing is really easy to use, are there many such things in the Han army?" ”

"There are a lot of good things in our Han army, thanks to the lord."

“…… This thing was invented by the lord? ”

"No, I mean, if the master is not kind to the craftsman, how can those skilled craftsmen be willing to do things for the master. This clairvoyance can only be regarded as a small invention, and when you have seen the bed crossbow that Ma Jun led people to research and manufacture, you will understand the extent to which the sharp weapons of our Han army have reached. Hu Che'er deliberately hung Wei Yan's appetite and said.

……

When it was done, Bowangpo burned a fire to the arrogant Liu Beijun who came violently, and the arrogance when he never came back. And Wei Yan also gained a firm foothold in the Han army with this merit, and now, like Hu Che'er, he serves as the deputy general of the Tiebi Army, and when the siege of Wancheng is resolved, the court will be reused.

Wei Yan didn't care about the court's reward, because he had already discovered that the court he was serving for was completely different from Jingzhou, where he had taken refuge in the past, and in the Han army, the only way to get promoted was his military exploits. Maybe there is still a human relationship, but compared to Jingzhou, which needs all human favors, the Han army is much better. At least Hao Zhao did not have the credit for being greedy for Wei Yan, and he also rewarded the Jingzhou army that followed Wei Yan to fight.

Compared with Wei Yan's side being full of smugness and joy, Guan Yu's side was gloomy. The vanguard army of 20,000 people was burned to less than 8,000 by Wei Yan, and 5,000 of them were the rear team that was originally responsible for responding. In other words, of the 15,000 people who accompanied Guan Yu's pursuit, only 3,000 people rushed out of the sea of fire with Guan Yu, and the remaining 12,000 people either died in the fire at that time, or escaped and became deserters.

The 8,000 Jingzhou army with low morale, although Guan Yu had the heart to fight again, the reality forced him to recognize the reality. With these 8,000 people under his command to attack Wancheng, it is not to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but to send people to death and send people to their heads. Not to mention that Wancheng now has the Tiebi army of the Han army, that is, the Jingzhou soldiers and horses that originally stayed in Wancheng, which is more than five times the number of soldiers and horses that Guan Yu now has.

Although Guan Yu is conceited, he has just suffered a loss, of course, he will be more cautious at this time. But if you don't attack Wancheng, then you can only wait for the Chinese army led by Liu Bei. In that way, Guan Yu felt that his face would be a little unbearable, and just when Guan Yu felt in a dilemma, Liu Feng, the righteous son of Liu Bei in Changsha, arrived with 10,000 horses.

Originally, Guan Yu did not support Liu Feng as his righteous son, although he knew that Liu Bei would accept Liu Feng in order to win over the local heroes in Changsha. But this doesn't mean that he doesn't worry that this person who was originally called Kou Feng and now changed his name to Liu Feng will not compete with Liu Bei's biological son Liu Chan for inheritance rights in the future.

Liu Bei is now nearly half a hundred years old, and he has been running around for many years, and the children who originally had him have also fled and are missing. At present, Liu Bei only has Liu Chan's only seedling, once Liu Chan has an accident, then Liu Feng's opportunity will come. Guan Yu supports Liu Chan, so naturally it is not pleasing to look at Liu Feng. It's not that Liu Chan has anything outstanding to be favored by Guan Yu, but that Liu Chan is a son-in-law, and Guan Yu is just influenced by the traditional concept of establishing the elder but not the young, and establishing the grandson but not the concubine.

But now that Liu Feng has brought 10,000 horses to support him, Guan Yu naturally doesn't show his face to people like usual. Pulled Liu Feng over and asked, "Gongzhong, did the lord order you to come?" ”

"General Huiguan's words, it was the military advisor who suggested that the lord send troops to come." Liu Feng didn't hide it, and told the truth. Everyone has a temper, and Liu Feng is not lacking in heart, how can he not know that Guan Yu usually looks at himself unpleasantly. It's just that Guan Yu is the sworn brother of his father-in-law, and if he really falls out with him, that cheap father-in-law will definitely not help him. For his own future, Liu Feng could only swallow this breath, but this did not mean that Liu Feng didn't want to hide in the dark to watch Guan Yu's jokes.

Liu Feng knew that Guan Yu's popularity was not good, even Zhuge Liang, who was shocked by his father-in-law, Guan Yu couldn't look down on him. Although Zhuge Liang has the capacity to accommodate people, sometimes the two will quarrel because of different views on a certain matter, and every time at that time, it is often the father-in-law who persuades him to make peace.

Maybe Zhuge Liang won't care about Guan Yu's usual rudeness for the sake of the overall situation, but Guan Yu is not the kind of person who is magnanimous. Liu Feng doesn't need to stir up trouble from it, as long as he tells the truth, it is enough to embarrass Guan Yu, and he can't rush at himself if he has fire.

In fact, just as Liu Feng expected, Guan Yu's already red face became even redder at this time after he knew that the current support army was sent by Zhuge Liang's brother.

"Gongzhong, can you bring the military order of the lord here?" Ma Yan asked, which was regarded as relieving Guan Yu's embarrassment. Liu Feng nodded when he heard this: "The lord does have a military order to convey, please General Guan not to rush to attack the city after arriving in Wancheng, but to build siege equipment as soon as possible, and wait for the Chinese army to arrive." ”

"What?" Guan Yu asked in surprise. He originally wanted to rely on these 10,000 people to attack Wancheng, even if he couldn't break the city, killing some officers and soldiers defending the city could save some face, but he didn't want his brother to not allow himself to attack the city.

"General Guan, this is the lord's military order." Liu Feng looked at the angry Guan Yu and reminded him boldly.
