Just when the situation in Hedong changed, Cao Cao's offensive against Liu Bei in Xuzhou became more and more fierce. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Liu Bei stuck to Xiaopei and held on for more than half a month. Jian Yong, who was sent to Yuan Shao in Jizhou to beg, has not yet brought back the news, and he should have responded long ago. Liu Bei knew that no news at this time was bad news. In the previous paragraph, Zhang Fei's robbery camp failed and disappeared, and now he can only break through at night and withdraw to Xiapi.
Of course, the retreat must require the response of the Xiapi side, and Liu Bei ordered the son of man to light three bonfires in the city. This is the signal agreed with Guan Yu before, which means that it will break through in three days and let Guan Yu respond.
Then Liu Bei summoned his henchmen and generals to arrange a breakthrough. Strict secrecy was required at the meeting, because the breakout time is the difference between success and failure.
On the evening of the second day, one of the defenders of the city took advantage of the night to shoot a feathered arrow at the city. Half an hour later, Cao Cao's Chinese army tent received a secret report that Liu Bei was preparing to break through three days later.
This was the opportunity that Cao Cao had been waiting for for a long time, and he immediately raised his tent to gather all the generals to deploy, and strive to capture Liu Bei alive. After Cao Cao finished arranging, Guo Jia, who was with the army, asked, "Lord, I don't think Liu Bei should be captured alive, since he refuses to surrender to the lord, then he dies on the battlefield, and we get rid of a big trouble." If Liu Bei is captured, he can't be killed, and he will kill the name of the lord and the sage; I can't put it down, and I have elbows and armpits if I put it. "
Cao Cao said, "I want to see what Liu Bei has to say when he sees me, otherwise I will be at peace in my heart." I am for the sake of the common people in the world, the Han world, if he Liu Xuande only opposes me for personal ambitions, so that I mistakenly see that he is a hero? "
Guo Jia saw Cao Cao's insistence, and it was not easy to say much.
Only according to Cao Cao's instructions, go down and arrange.
Three days later, Liu Bei led his troops to break through. At first, it went well, and Cao Jun was completely defenseless. Who knew that only ten miles away from Xiaopei, Liu Bei's team was ambushed.
The number of ambushes is not a minority, and the number is at least twice that of Liu Beijun. The first round of arrows fell, and at least half of Liu Bei's soldiers were injured. And the general in front of him blocked the way, it was Cao Cao's general Xiahoudun.
Liu Bei knew that he had been ambushed by the Cao army, so he did not dare to break through to the east again, but turned south, hoping to leave the Cao army first.
Who knew that Cao Ren had already led troops to block the way to the south. turned to the south, but there was Hou Cheng, and Song Xian led the troops to intercept it.
Liu Bei added, "It's really a god's death." "
Next to Chen Zhi said to Liu Bei, the lord can put the armor and cloak with me, and I will forcibly break through to the south under the banner of the Chinese army to attract Cao Jun. The lord can take the opportunity to pretend to be a dead corpse, and after Cao Jun is attracted by me, he can take advantage of the chaos to seize the horse and evacuate north.
Liu Bei couldn't bear to die for him, and was about to object. Chen Zhi put his sword across his neck and said, "I know that the lord is benevolent, but it is not a pity for me to die, the lord still has a great cause to do, and he must save his body." Otherwise, we will die in vain, and it is better to die by the sword now. "
Liu Bei knew that Chen Zhi had made up his mind, so he had to take off his armor and exchange with Chen Zhi. Then he was covered in blood and hid in a pile of corpses and pretended to be dead.
Chen Zhi wore Liu Bei's armor and led his troops to the south to desperately break through.
The enemy saw Liu Bei's soldiers and horses attacking the south with all their might, and the pressure on Cao Hong's soldiers and horses increased, so he began to gradually reduce the encirclement to the south. After fighting for half an hour, Chen Zhi finally broke through Cao Hong's encirclement and fled in the direction of Runan with hundreds of remnants. Cao Jun wanted to catch Liu Bei for meritorious service, and almost all of them went to chase Chen.
Liu Bei saw Hou Cheng, Song Xian's soldiers and horses went to the south, and after a long time, no one in front and behind took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and crawled out of the pile of dead people. Liu Bei didn't dare to go east to find Guan Yu, so he could only go north alone, ready to ask Yuan Shao for help.
Guan Yu's side was not smooth, he brought 5,000 soldiers and horses to meet Liu Bei, and handed over Xiapicheng and Liu Bei's family to Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others to guard.
How do you know that Cao Jun has been prepared, as soon as Guan Yu leaves the city, he encounters layers of obstacles and Cao Jun ambushes. Guan Yu was eager to save Liu Bei, and he couldn't wait to fly to Xiaopei and kill all the way, but he didn't want to fall into a valley surrounded by Cao's army on all sides.
Guan Yu rushed left and right, but he couldn't rush out.
At this time, Yu Ban led an army to storm Pi, and the pro-Cao clan organization in the city opened the north gate, and Cao's army swarmed in. Sun Qian saw that the city could not be defended, so he led his troops to meet the battle, and let Mi Zhu and Mi Fang protect Liu Bei's family to break through to the south.
Guan Yu's side formed a formation in the valley to defend itself, and he was still able to stalemate for a while. Who knows, the direction of Xiapi City is on fire, and Guan Yu knows that Xiapi is lost.
Guan Yu looked at it and exclaimed, "Big brother, I'm sorry." Unexpectedly, he couldn't respond, but lost Xia Picheng and his eldest brother's wife and children. The big husband is in the world, and he can't stand without faith. Now I have taken the first place of the enemy plane, and then I will kill myself to thank the world. "
Guan Yu ordered the brigade to break through on all sides, and he himself went straight to the banner of Cao's army and killed him alone.
Guan Yu had just restrained the team and couldn't display his personal martial arts. Now it is a man who is going to die, and he is invincible. The enemy army was killed by Guan Yu in a terrified manner, and no one dared to do it at all. After a while, Guan Yu had already killed in front of the enemy's main general.
At this time, the general of the Cao army besieging Guan Yu was the general Hou Cheng. Guan Yu Pegasus went to Hou Cheng's advance, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife hand rose and fell, and Hou Cheng's parry was too late, and he was directly cut off the horse.
Cao Jun was in an uproar, and an area was forcibly vacated, and no one dared to come to Guan Yu's approach.
Guan Yu looked at the big cao in the distance with a big cao character written on it. I don't know if it's Cao Ren or Cao Hong, Guan Yu doesn't care about him, and urges the horse to step forward and kill again. At this time, a general blocked the way.
This man was tall and dark-skinned, and he used two halberds in his hands, as if he had descended from the heavens. Guan Yu knew that this person was Xu Chu. Guan Yu didn't talk either, and fought with Xu Chu and the two horses in the wrong stirrup.
Just when the two were fighting, Cao Jun's hundreds of shield soldiers and pikemen surrounded Guan Yu's inner three layers and the outer three layers. As soon as Xu Chu got out of the way, the archers outside were ready to shoot Guan Yu with arrows.
At this time, someone outside suddenly shouted, "The prime minister can't kill Guan Yu if he has an order." "
The person who came was Cao Cao's general Lu Qian, who had an old relationship with Guan Yu. Lu Qian said, "The two generals and assistants listen to me. General Guan Yu, now Uncle Liu's two wives and children are all unharmed, and now they are all in the prime minister's account. The general was entrusted by the emperor's uncle to take care of the family, and he would definitely refuse to see the emperor's uncle's wife and children suffer. Now if the general is demoted to the prime minister, the prime minister will definitely hand over Liu Bei's family to the general. Now that Xiapi has been broken, Liu Bei doesn't know where to go, if the general resists again, it is meaningless? "
Guan Yu said angrily: "Cao Cao's name is Han Xiang, but he is actually a Han thief. If I descend on him, I will have no shame to see my eldest brother in the ground. The eldest brother's wife and children, but they are disposed of by Cao Thief, if he Cao Cao is not afraid of the ridicule of the world, what does it matter if he kills him? "
Lu Qian said: "Where did the general come from, the prime minister is dedicated to the country, and the people of the world don't know the prime minister's hardships. Let's not talk about this, the general said that he had no face to see General Liu underground, but he didn't know that Liu Bei was not killed in battle. I heard that the general and Liu Bei Taoyuan formed a righteous alliance and vowed to die together. Now that Liu Bei is not dead, it is unjust for the general to die first. The Han Emperor was in Xudu, and the general and Liu Bei led the troops to divide the cholera world because of disloyalty. Liu Bei entrusted his wife to sacrifice his son, and the general only came to Liu Bei's wife in the midst of fire and water for a false name, because he did not believe and was unkind. The general wants to be a hero, how can he do such a disloyal, unbelieving, unkind and unrighteous thing now!"
Lu Qian's words made Guan Yu stunned for a moment, and he was speechless on the spot. After a long time, Guan Yu said, "Then what do you say Guan should do?" ā
Lu Qian saw that there was a turning point, and said with great joy, "If the general can return to the prime minister and be loyal to the Han family, he can be faithful and faithful." ā
Guan Yu said: "Guan swears not to surrender Cao!" ā
Lu Qian heard Guan Yu's words and said, "Of course, the general is the son of the Han Dynasty, not the prime minister's family. ā
Guan Yu said again: "If my brother Liu Xuande is lucky not to die, if he knows his traces, Guan will go to find him." ā
Lu Qian didn't dare to call the shots, and said to Guan Yu that he wanted to ask Cao Cao.
Lu Qian patted his horse and turned around to ask Cao Cao. Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled, "Make it." That Liu Xuande doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, even if he escapes this time, I will never give him a chance again. As long as Guan Yu is willing to surrender, I will give him a high-ranking official, rich and beautiful, and in time, I am not afraid that he will not be loyal to me. ā
Lu Qian came back and said to Guan Yu, "The prime minister has agreed, how about General Guan put down his weapon and follow me to see the prime minister." āć
Guan Yu threw the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand on the ground, turned over and dismounted, and followed Lu Qian to see Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was overjoyed to see Guan Yu. Guan Yu saw that Cao Cao was about to salute, Cao Cao took three steps and made two steps to go up and hold Guan Yu. Then he put the big dhorn on his body and put it on Guan Yu himself.
Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei and regained Xuzhou, plus he was very happy to get Guan Yu as a tiger general. It was only on the third day of the celebration in Xiapi City that the government affairs began to be handled.
Cao Cao learned the lesson of the last time he used the civil official Che Zhou as the assassin of the history, and took Cao Ren as the assassin of Xuzhou, and Chen Qun and Chen Deng, the natives of Xuzhou, as the assistants. Langya Xiang Zang Ba continued to guard Langya because he did not rebel with Liu Bei. Cao Cao also asked Zang Ba for the title of Marquis of Guannei to appease people's hearts.
Cao Cao originally planned to return to the court ten days later, but he didn't want to receive a report from Kuaimalai, "Nanyang Zhang Xiu led the troops to attack Xudu, please send the news of the prime minister quickly." ā
When Cao Cao heard the news, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Thousands of calculations, I didn't calculate that Zhang Xiu would come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, if Zhang Xiu succeeded, I am afraid that this crisis will be more serious than the last time Lu Bu occupied Chen Liu.
Cao Cao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter, and now most of the people who are on his crusade are military generals. Several strategists who can give advice, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu are not around. Cao Cao saw that everyone was in a mess, and they all said that it was right for the team to rescue Xu Du immediately.
At this time, Chen Qun said to Cao Cao, "Prime Minister, I want to ask a question. If such an extraordinary situation is encountered, who does the prime minister think will be the best to deal with it? ā
Cao Cao didn't even think about it, "Naturally, it's Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao." ā
Chen Qun said: "Since the prime minister knows that he is looking for Guo Jia, then Guo Jia is now in Xudu, Shang Shu Xunyu and Wei Wei Cheng Yu are all in Xudu, what else does the prime minister have to worry about?" ā
Cao Cao suddenly brightened up when he heard this, "Mr. Changwen's words woke up the person in his dream." ā
Chen Qun, "I believe that in less than five days, Xu Du will definitely have a good news, and it will not be too late for the prime minister to come back to the class." ā
