Since Dongwu has the intention to take Jingzhou, he will definitely not confront Guan Yu head-on with great fanfare, and once Dongwu's soldiers and horses are dispatched, the master of Dongwu will definitely have a countermeasure if he does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles.

Although Liu He doesn't look down on the young man Amon who has a few relationships with him, he is still a little jealous of Lu Meng in history, after all, since Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, the four governors of Eastern Wu are not idle people.

It is foreseeable that even if he knew in advance that the two sides had already set up a position, Guan Yu might not be able to bargain in the hands of Lu Meng.

The border between the two families of Sun and Liu in Jingzhou is divided by a river.

By the time Liu He arrived at the riverside with a few apprentices, the two sides had already set up camps, forming a situation of confrontation across the river.

I heard that Mr. Tianji came to the barracks, and Guan Yu, who has always been arrogant, rarely greeted him in person, but it was only to welcome him at the gate of the camp and greet him ten miles out of the camp.

With Guan Yu's grandeur, Liu He felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, as soon as Guan Yu let Liu He into the tent, he sighed for a long time.

Liu He was very puzzled, on the way here, he had carefully asked the soldiers below, the strength of the two armies was almost the same, it could be said that the strength was equal, and Guan Yu's food, grass and ordnance were also very sufficient, I really couldn't think of anything else that could make it difficult for Guan Yu, who had always been empty-eyed, to be like this.

After careful inquiry, it turned out that Guan Yu was not worried that he couldn't beat Dongwu, but that Dongwu was unwilling to fight him.

In this way, it is reasonable, and it is very similar to Guan Yu's usual style.

Perhaps in Guan Yu's eyes, this dispatch of troops is to come to the border casually, and by the way, make a lot of military achievements.

After listening to Guan Yu's complaints, Liu He was a little in a dilemma.

It seems that Guan Yu has not completely figured out the current situation, and the reason why Dongwu dares to blatantly use troops against Jingzhou is that in addition to making up his mind to tear his face, he will definitely have a clear goal and a careful plan.

Setting up camp by the river but refusing to fight, it is obvious that he is delaying time, according to Liu He's judgment, Dongwu should be waiting and seeing, and at the same time waiting for an opportunity.

What Dongwu was waiting for, Liu He still didn't know, and he didn't have time to think about it, the biggest problem in front of him was how to persuade Guan Yu to withdraw his troops.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu He cautiously tentatively said: "Since Dongwu has no intention of starting a war, there is no need for our army to waste time and grain here, it is better to withdraw the army as soon as possible, I don't know what the second brother wants?" ”

Guan Yu didn't speak, and glanced at Liu He expressionlessly.

Liu He immediately knew that this was obviously an indication of his attitude.

Liu He sighed and said, "Second brother, I'll tell you clearly." I have come this time not only to persuade you to withdraw your troops from the border, but also to withdraw your troops to Chengdu. ”

"Reason." Guan Yu held his long beard in his hand and slowly spit out two words.

Liu He looked straight at Guan Yu and was speechless.

It's not that Liu He can't give reasons, if he discusses military affairs as usual, Liu He can give several in one go, but among these reasons, Liu He couldn't find a statement that sounded reasonable and made Guan Yu accept it happily.

Guan Yu sneered and said, "If there is no reason, how can you say that you will withdraw from the army?" ”

Seeing Guan Yu's appearance, Liu He knew that this master had begun to compete with him, and if he continued to talk about it, it was estimated that he would have to turn his face on the spot.

"Actually, this is the case, I discussed with Zhuge Junshi, Cao Pi's army went south to attack Hanzhong, and the war over there was tight, and the second brother was needed to support." Liu He racked his brains and finally came up with a reasonable reason.

Guan Yu looked puzzled, looked Liu He up and down, and said: "There is my third brother in Han, you say this, do you not believe him?" ”

Liu He's cold sweat burst out, who doesn't know that Guan Yu has always had no one in his eyes, only his two sworn brothers have great respect, and what he said just now will indeed make Guan Yu question.

In front of Guan Yu, he said that anyone could do it, but he couldn't say that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were not.

Liu He subconsciously glanced at the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife behind Guan Yu, and suddenly felt that the cold was pressing.

Liu He thought about it and repelled all the other generals in the tent, and even Zhou Cang, who never left Guan Yu's side day and night, was also invited out by Liu He.

Seeing this posture, Guan Yu suddenly understood that it must be this Mr. Tianji, who has extremely confidential military affairs.

Liu He watched everyone else leave, and pretended to walk to the door, opened the curtain and looked outside a few times, as if he was afraid that someone would hear it.

Guan Yu, who was sitting in the center, stroked the long beard hanging down on his chest, but did not speak, staring at Liu He tightly, his eyes were obviously much more nervous than before.

Estimating that the time was almost up, Liu He returned to his seat and sat down, and said in a low voice: "I received news that Cao Pi has sent troops to attack Jingzhou from the northern front, and when the Eastern Wu army comes, it is bound to collude with Cao Pi secretly." ”

Guan Yu smiled calmly, "I, Guan Yu, have never been afraid of anyone in my life, whether it is secret collusion or blatant, I can't scare Guan Yu." ”

Liu He slapped the table, made a look of approval, and said, "Those gutless bandits who can only play conspiracy and tricks, who are the opponents of the second brother?" Besides, with our second brother's violent temper, we can't give them this face if we say anything! ”

This sentence finally reached Guan Yu's heart, although it was obvious that Guan Yu was restraining himself, but he still showed a faint expression of joy.

As soon as Liu He saw that there was a play, he immediately hit the railway while it was hot: "It's not fun for these grandsons to come to Jingzhou to find it themselves, of course we have to teach them a good lesson, but we can't do a loss-making business, right?" ”

Guan Yu frowned slightly, "A loss-making deal?" ”

Liu He smiled and said: "Deal with Cao Pi in the north and Sun Quan in the east at the same time, with the strength of the second brother, of course we can hold it, but there is one point, our losses will definitely not be small." ”

Guan Yu was silent for a long time, and finally nodded unprecedentedly.

Liu He was overjoyed in his heart and continued: "So I have a good idea, which can not only reduce the battle losses of our army, but also give Cao Wei and Dongwu a heavy blow!" ”

Guan Yu seemed to be touched, and his attitude became much more positive, and he took the initiative to ask, "What idea?" Come and hear it! ”

Liu He pretended to look at the door mysteriously, and whispered: "Let's pretend to withdraw from Jingzhou first, let Cao Wei and Dongwu's soldiers and horses pounce into the air, in order to compete for the territory of Jingzhou, they will definitely fight themselves, and when they eat dogs, we will surprise him, and we will definitely win a big victory." ”
