It is said that after Xu Shu took Jiameng Pass, he immediately led all his troops to advance to the Sword Pavilion. Huang Zhong suffered some internal injuries and needed to recuperate, so he stayed in Jiamengguan to guard. Jiameng Pass became the logistics base of the Hanzhong coalition army.

"The thief general Xu Chu, kill my third brother, dare to fight Guan Yu alone, a duel of life and death!" After Guan Yu led the troops to the Sword Pavilion Pass, he rode his horse and held a knife and came out to drown alone!

The Sword Pavilion was closed, and Xu Shu, accompanied by Xu Chu, Yan Pu, Wang Lei, and Meng Da, observed the situation of the incoming army.

"Our army is 40,000, and the enemy is 20,000. What did this Guan Yu think, he actually brought weak troops to attack the Sword Pavilion Xiongguan, couldn't he find death? Yan Pu sneered and said sarcastically.

Wang Lei also said: "This Guan Yu is known as the number one general under Liu Bei, but I didn't expect it to be a brave and ruthless person, it's really disappointing." ”

Meng Da didn't speak, and Xu Shu didn't speak either.

Meng Da didn't speak because he had seen Guan Yu's Wen Taowu strategy and knew that he was definitely not a brave and ruthless person, and today's state was either another mystery, or Guan Yu was stimulated by Zhang Fei's incident and lost his mind.

Xu Shu didn't speak because he needed to listen to Xu Chu's opinion. In the top-secret information handed over to him by He Xian, Guan Yu is the number one dangerous person in the ranking of Liu Bei's group. Not only is his martial arts strong, but his strategy is not low, but his only drawback is that he is arrogant and easy to be arrogant. From Xu Shu's point of view, he didn't want Xu Chu to agree to Guan Yu's request to go head-to-head. Because the Hanzhong coalition army has the advantage of strength, and there is the Sword Pavilion Guan Tianqian as a support, Xu Chu has no need to take this risk and go head-to-head with Guan Yu. But a military general has the pride of a military general, Xu Shu doesn't know how much weight "pride" is worth in Xu Chu's heart, and compared with reason, how Xu Chu will choose in the end.

Xu Chu looked at Xu Shu, and Xu Shu made a gesture of invitation, signaling that Xu Chu could make his own decision. Whether to fight or not, Xu Shu has no objection.

Xu Chu strode to the edge of the city wall and shouted to Guan Yu under the gate: "Zhang Yide is a man, he was killed by me after breaking the level!" If you have the ability, just kill the close, Xu is waiting on the close! ”

Guan Yu scolded: "Brave people! Why don't you dare to go out and compete with me? ”

Xu Chu sneered: "This is a battlefield battle, how can you imitate the courage of the horseman?" As long as you dare to climb the city wall, Xu promises that he will definitely give you a chance to go head-to-head! ”

"Shameless! Timid as a mouse! In vain, he is called the general of Nanyang! ”

Guan Yu scolded under the pass, but Xu Chu ignored it and retreated straight to Xu Shu's side.

Xu Shu looked at Xu Chu with some surprise, with his understanding of Xu Chu, Xu Chu should be a happy person, and his rationality was a little lacking.

Xu Chu seemed to guess Xu Shu's doubts, and said humbly: "Before leaving, the lord had a word of advice. said that the people in Shu let me fight alone, but I only saw one person, so I should be more careful, and avoid it if I can. ”

"The person the lord is talking about is Guan Yu?"

"Not bad! The lord said that Guan Yu was the most difficult military general in the Han Dynasty after Lu Bu. Purely competitive martial arts, the last general may not be inferior. But that Guan Yu is good at using some special doorways to enhance the lethality of his sword technique, and he can't use common sense to fight against it. ”

"Special doorways? What special doorways? Xu Shu asked again.

"This lord didn't say it explicitly! I guess it's some hidden weapon or something! ”

"There are secret agents under the command of the lord who specialize in collecting the world's generals, and his words should not be wrong!"

Xu Chu nodded: "The last general will be saved!" The lord didn't let me fight, it must be for my good! ”

Xu Shu was very satisfied with Xu Chu's decision, as long as Xu Chu did not fight, Guan Yu only had one way left to attack the Sword Pavilion. As long as Guan Yu starts to attack, Xu Shu guarantees that he will definitely kill the Yizhou soldiers and bleed a river!

Guan Yu shouted and scolded to no avail, and waved his troops to kill. The two sides fought fiercely for a while, and after the Yizhou army dropped more than a thousand corpses, they had no choice but to retreat.

Attacking Xiongguan with weak forces, even if Guan Yu has 10,000 enemies, it is useless to succeed. For a few days, Xu Chu ignored how Guan Yu arranged for the sergeant to curse under the pass. And once Guan Yu drove his troops to attack the city, Xu Chu appeared at the head of the city for the first time and killed all sides. It was clear that he was luring Guan Yu to the city, Guan Yu wanted to go to the city in person, but he was persuaded by the guards.

What about Liu Bei's army? Haven't arrived yet? Not really. The army from Chengdu had already arrived twenty miles outside the Sword Pavilion. It's just that Liu Bei refused to show up for a long time, because he wanted to use Guan Yu as bait to lure Xu Shu out of the city to fight.

After the fall of Jiameng Pass and Sword Pavilion, the offensive and defensive trends of the two sides underwent a more natural change. Liu Bei changed from the original attacker to the current defender, and the Hanzhong coalition led by Xu Shu changed from defending Hanzhong at the beginning to attacking Bashu.

But the problem is that the Hanzhong coalition army, as the attacking party, hid in the Sword Pavilion and refused to enter Shu for a decisive battle, which broke Liu Bei and Guan Yu's hearts. The fundamental reason is that Xu Shu intermittently received a secret letter from Zhang Ren from Ba County. Since the fall of the Sword Pavilion, it has become impossible for Liu Bei to completely cut off the connection between Shuzhong and Hanzhong. The connection between Xu Shu and Zhang Ren has slowly recovered.

After Guan Yu's army withdrew from Jiangzhou, Zhang Ren, with the help of Yan Yan, recovered almost the entire territory of Ba County. The number of soldiers also increased from 20,000 to 40,000 when they entered Shu. Now, Zhang Ren is training troops in Jiangzhou, accumulating grain and grass, and building weapons, preparing for the next counterattack on Chengdu.

With Zhang Ren's sharp nail buried in Liu Bei's back, there was no need for Xu Shu to fight with Guan Yu in the Sword Pavilion. What he needs to do now is to wait, wait for the chaos in Shuzhong, and wait for Liu Beijun to divide his troops.

At this moment, in Liu Bei's camp, the atmosphere was solemn. Zhang Fei's death was only the beginning of a major crisis for Liu Bei's group. The news from Ba County shows that there are still many people in Shu who are dissatisfied with Liu Bei, otherwise, Zhang Ren's development would not be so rapid. If you go outside, you must first settle inside. If Liu Bei can't think of an effective way to contain Zhang Ren and continue to let him develop in Shuzhong, Yizhou will take the lead in defeating from within.

"General Guan shouldn't have come to Zitong! If he didn't come to Zitong, Zhang Ren should still be nested in Jiangzhou City, and it would be impossible to control Ba County. Even, he has died under General Guan's broadsword. Guan Yu was not there, Zhang Song said bluntly.

"Things that have passed, Zi Qiaoxiu wants to mention it again! Now the question is how to eliminate Zhang Ren and how to defeat Xu Shu. Liu Bei flicked his sleeves and stopped Zhang Song's slanderous words against Guan Yu. Guan Yu abandoned Jiangzhou and came in a hurry, which really disrupted the rhythm of the Yizhou army. But the reason why Guan Yu came here was because of his brother's righteousness, Liu Bei wanted to come and claim to be benevolent and righteous, could he blame Guan Yu for this?
