However, it was said that Liu Bei led his troops to Banxian County, but he lived in Dazhai and discussed entering the army. The pen fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info reported to the whistle horse: "Yuan Shao sent the young general Cheng Xiang to transfer 50,000 soldiers and horses to meet the enemy. General Wu Yanjin said: "After Cheng Xiang is a thief, there is nothing to do." Yan is willing to get 5,000 elite soldiers, take the road out of Xichangping, surprise attack Xiabo, Fucheng, if you get one, you can go straight to Xindu; General Guan attacked Julu again, and Yuan Shao could not respond to each other, so he would be tired of running. So broken Yuan Shaoyi also. Liu Bei smiled and said: "This is not a foolproof plan." How can you deceive Yuan Shao that there are no good people under his account, if someone makes a statement, the garrison guards Xiabo, how can our army get by. Wu Yan said: "Uncle Huang's troops are out of Julu Road, and Yuan Shao will definitely transfer a large army to block and meet the enemy on the road; If it is protracted, when will Yuan be destroyed? Liu Bei thought about it for a long time, and it was so. Then he ordered Wu Yan to lead 10,000 troops and go down.

However, it was said that Guan Yu went out of Qinghe County, ran to Julu, and until near Guangnian, he was meeting Cheng Xiang's army. Two pairs of circles. Cheng Xiang stepped out, with Jiang Yiqu and Lu Weihuang beside him. Cheng Xiang scolded loudly: "Liu Bei Xiao'er, taking advantage of the power of the Son of Heaven, swaggering and deceiving, hypocrisy and righteousness, and now leading troops to commit crimes, wanting to seek death?" Guan Yu was furious, danced the eighty-one pound Qinglong Yanyue Knife, rode out of the horse, and fought with Cheng Xiang alone. Lu Weihuang saw that Guan Yu was arrogant and domineering, showing off his might, he couldn't bear it, and he jumped on a horse to greet him. Lu Weihuang's martial arts are far inferior to Guan Yu. However, because Guan Yu always had little strength in his right arm, he fought for ten rounds and failed to defeat Lu Weihuang. Guan Yu was secretly anxious, gritted his steel teeth, and gathered strength in his right hand. After three more rounds of fighting, Lu Weihuang was defeated and defeated. Guan Yu danced the big knife and chased after him. Cheng Xiang took the lance in his hand and fought Guan Yu in person. Cheng Xiang grew up in Yuanfu, and his martial arts were all passed down by the veterans of Yuanfu, which was quite disciplined. Cheng Xiang is also smart and studious, and his martial arts should not be underestimated. Thirty rounds of battle with Guan Yu, no winner or loser. Guan Yu's deputy general, Han Hua, watched Guan Yu and Cheng Xiang indistinguishably from the winner in front of the battle. It was a move to embroider the flag, and the army rushed out like a tide. Cheng Xiang's army, too late to respond, was defeated for a while, and retreated into Guangnian City.

Guan Yu drove his troops into a large march and besieged the city. Cheng Xiang couldn't hold on. Guan Yu stationed the army in Guangyu City, drove the troops to attack Guangnian, and failed for several days. Cheng Xiang took turns defending the city with his army in the city. He also asked about the trial and matching, Xun Kan. The judge said: "Guan Yu drove the army to attack the city, our army has enough food and food, and the defense of the city can be safe." Just wait for Guan Yu to lose his spirit, he will inevitably retreat. Xun Kan, the superintendent, said: "Although it can be won by holding on, it will be delayed for a long time. Liu Bei has not shown up so far, so he must have gone to Xindu by the way. If you don't break Guan Yu early today and rush to help Zhang He, I'm afraid there will be changes in the rear. I have a plan to break Guan Yu quickly. Cheng Xiang said: "What is Mr. Xun's strategy, I hope to teach you." Xun Kan said: "In the coming day, our army can be like this, then Guan Yu will definitely be tricked." When our army was killed on all sides, Guan Yu could be captured. Cheng Xiang was overjoyed and said: "Wonderful! Wonderful! That's a great plan! If Guan Yu can be captured, Liu Bei will lose an arm. ”

Cheng Xiang called Jiang Yiqu and Lu Weihuang. Cheng Xiang said: "The residents of the city have heard that the war has broken out, and there are countless families who have migrated with their families, and there are many empty houses and shops in the city today. The two of you can hide your headquarters in an empty house, and you will not be restless. If you see Guan Yu entering the city, you must not attack. When I come out after Guan Yu, you two will surprise Guan Yu again. The two of them were calculated. That night, Cheng Xiang took the army in Guangnian City out of the city in a panic and retreated in the direction of Xindu in the northwest. Meticulous retribution to Guan Yu. Guan Yu said to Han Hua: "Cheng Xiang Guang transferred grain and grass to Guangnian City, and there are many defenders in the city, this city is to take the giant deer land, Cheng Xiang will not abandon it." Now he fled in embarrassment and went to the northwest, it must be that the letter is in danger, and Cheng Xiang returned to the army to save the emergency. Could it be that the big brother's surprise attack letter has been completed? Hanwha said: "Cheng Xiang's milk smell has not dried, he has no courage and no strategy, and he doesn't know how to use it." Judge, Xun Kan is a schemer. If Cheng Xiang fakes and escapes, how can he design to harm us? Guan Yu said: "The enemy army has enough food, as long as it holds on for a few more days, our army will be defeated without a fight." Cheng Xiang is already invincible, and there is no need to take risks in design. Those who go here will return to the capital. We can quickly occupy the vast year, and then march into Julu to respond to the eldest brother. Hanwha refused. Guan Yu did his best and came to attack Guangnian in the starry night. The city was empty, and after a little resistance, the gates were broken. Guan Yu led the army into the city, and there were only hundreds of old and weak soldiers in the city. The army had no effort, and they rejoiced in this fortress.

Guan Yu occupied the city, and was dispatching the deputy general to occupy the government first. Suddenly, he heard a loud shout outside the city, and Guan Yu climbed the city wall to watch. I saw Cheng Xiang leading the army to sneak attack the rear team. Guan Yu's rear team had many people who had not entered the city, and when they saw the enemy coming from behind, they did not dare to engage in the battle, so they crowded into the city, scrambling for the first, trampling on each other, and many of them died in their own homes. Guan Yu observed the hostility on the city and ordered the city gate to be closed quickly. He shouted from the city: "All the generals outside the city, do not make trouble, turn around and kill the enemy, and strive to move forward." Those who can kill the enemy will be rewarded with a thousand gold; Those who can cut Cheng Xiang will seal the marquis of ten thousand households. "Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. The morale of the soldiers outside Guan Yu suddenly increased greatly, and they all turned back to resist to the death. The moat of Guangnian City has been filled by Guan Yu's army a few days ago. Guan Yu stood majestically on the city, seeing that the soldiers were all waving their troops to fight, and the city gate was slowly closing, and his heart was much more comfortable.

But at this moment, a cannon was heard in the city, and many horses were killed from the houses in the city. In the dark night, I don't know how much, I only heard shouts everywhere, but when I met Sergeant Guan Yu, I killed them indiscriminately. Guan Yu was shocked, and urgently ordered to arrange torches and go down to the city to meet the enemy. Guan Yufang got on the horse, and two generals came over. Guan Yu regarded it as the enemy generals Jiang Yiqu and Lu Weihuang. Jiang and Lu Er will wrap Guan Yu and fight. Guan Yu gradually became invincible, scolding Jiang and Lu villain. It turned out that Cheng Xiang fought with Guan Yu that day, and when he learned that Guan Yu's right arm was weak, he privately said to Jiang and Lu Erjun. Therefore, the second general, specializing in the right arm of the feather. Guan Yu gradually lost his opponent. Jiang and Lu led the soldiers to kill and disperse the city gate, and then opened the city gate. Outside the city, Guan Yu's soldiers saw that the city gate had been opened, and they had no intention of fighting again and squeezed into the city. Cheng Xiang took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, drove his troops into a big march, and recaptured the city gate. Seeing that the two generals were fighting Guan Yu, they hurriedly besieged the horse. Guan Yu was originally at the end of the crossbow, but when he saw Cheng Xiang coming, he didn't dare to fight again, so he sold a flaw, and left when he returned to his horse. Cheng Xiang and the three of them chased after him, Guan Yu's heart was not good, but he saw that one person was rushing to kill, it was Han Hua. Hanwha let Guan Yu pass through, fought three people, weighed several knives, and died under the horse. Guan Yu was able to escape because of Hanwha's death, and looking back at his side, there were only four or five hundred horsemen, and the left and right lieutenant generals were all killed, and he was annoyed. can only return to the army and retreat to Qinghe.

However, it was said that Zhang He led an army of 20,000 people to Xiabo and lived in Dazhai. Send people to survey the surrounding terrain. The scout came to report that there was a bald mountain just east of Xiabo, and there was a small road at the foot of the mountain. Zhang Hewei deputy general said: "I will allocate 8,000 troops and horses to you. There is a bald mountain due east, and you will camp at the foot of the mountain. If a soldier attacks, there is no need to fight, just hold on. If Liu Bei wants to sneak attack Xindu, he will go down. Seeing that our army has been prepared for a long time, it will definitely take the small road. Today, our army is divided into troops, and even if Liu Bei has the ability to reach the sky, he must not steal it. The lieutenant took the order and left.

Two days later, Liu Bei's general Wu Yan led the army to Xiabo and fought outside Zhanghezhai. Zhang He's deputy general, all want to fight, but Zhang He is not allowed. Wu Yan made people scold outside the village. Zhang He only pretended not to listen. Wu Yan scolded until noon, but he didn't see Zhang He, his mouth was dry, and he ordered the troops to retreat and camp. After the military moved, the gate of the village was wide open, and Zhang He led 500 cavalry to fly out of the village. Clashed back and forth in Wu Yan's array several times, killing a lot of Wu Yan's soldiers. Wu Yanfang wanted to fight back, Zhang He led the army back to the village, the gate of the village was reopened, and countless archers opened their bows and arrows in front of the village. Wu Yan drove his troops to attack the village. Ten thousand arrows were fired in the village, and Wu Yan was not allowed to enter after several attacks. It was ordered to make the rear army the front team, and slowly retreated, and Wu Yan personally broke the rear. Zhang Hewang saw that Wu Yan retreated in an orderly manner, and left his troops to break off, and did not come back to the village to attack. Wu Yan retreated forty miles to the village, and the camp was completed. Wu Yan asked the local people to ask for directions, and learned that there was a small road at the foot of the bald mountain, which could go to Xindu. Wu Yan also asked people to go to the bald mountain to explore the way, and they had to explore the Malay newspaper for a while, and there were soldiers guarding the bald mountain, and they camped along the mountain road. Wu Yan said: "Zhang He is really a general, the mountain path, blocking the road and camping, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, you can't rush over." Then he wrote a book and reported it to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei got the book and said to Jian Yong: "Yuan Shao has been prepared for a long time, and sent Zhang He to guard Xiabo, and when he went to the village, Wu Yan must not steal it, and if he wants to attack it forcibly, he will write a report; I wonder what Mr. thinks? Jian Yong said: "Xia Bo is a surprise attack, and the chances of winning are not good. Today, the enemy army has been prepared for a long time, and our army must not attack it by force. If it is broken by Zhang He, it will definitely greatly reduce the morale of our army. In addition, General Guan was defeated by Cheng Xiang, and our army was exhausted, so we can call Wu Yan back today, join forces in one place, first break Cheng Xiang, capture the giant deer, and then plan to enter the Xindu. Liu Bei asked Wu Yan to be summoned. There are a total of 30,000 men and horses in the two places, all of which are stationed in Ganling City, Qinghe County, which is not much different from Cheng Xiang's army.

Let's say that Cheng Xiang defeated Guan Yu and wanted to march into Qinghe, so that people would report to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao replied to the letter, you can hit it. Cheng Xiang did his best to fight against Qinghe County. fought several battles with Liu Bei and was defeated by Liu Bei. Cheng Xiang retreated fifty miles to the village. It was reported to Yuan Shao, and it was said that the division of troops to guard the intersection of Xiabo Road made Liu Bei's sneak attack impossible. Yuan Shao's confidant Tian Fengzhi asked: "Cheng Xiang marched into Qinghe County, defeated by Liu Bei, I want to make Cheng Xiang withdraw his troops, I don't know how." Tian Feng said: "Don't collect troops." Liu Bei lives in the plains, indiscriminately collecting people's hearts, if he is not eliminated early, our army will never be safe. The lord should take advantage of Liu Bei's soldiers to get rid of him at this time. Yuan Shaosui and Yan Liang and Bao Zhong led a horse infantry army of 20,000 to conquer Liu Bei. also ordered Chun Yuqiong to change Zhang Heshou Xiabo.

Liu Bei found out that Yuan Shao led a large army to help Cheng Xiang in Ganling City, and was shocked, and said in his heart: Our army and Cheng Xiang's army are equal in strength, and the day before yesterday they won Cheng Xiang for a while, which greatly reduced Cheng Xiang's morale. Now Yuan Shao's army is coming, and our army is difficult to defeat. Wu Fu, the general of the military division, said: "Yuan Shao led the troops in person, and it was even more difficult to fight. If there is no reinforcement of our army, it will be destroyed. There are still more than 10,000 soldiers in Jibei City, so it is better to transfer them to the front line. He wrote another letter to Huang Shan, sent people to Qingzhou, and sent Huang Shan to attack Yuan Shao. Huang Shan, the former can feed our army, and now he will be able to send troops to help. When Liu Bei heard this, he wrote a letter and sent it to Huang Shan, asking for support, and ordered the fast horse to quickly speak, hoping to transfer troops to the north.

Tianhua is in Linzi City, and Liu Bei asks for help, but he thinks to himself: If he doesn't help Liu Bei today, Liu Bei is not Yuan Shao's opponent, and he will be broken by Yuan Shao. Shaosheng will inevitably come to Qingzhou. If Liu Bei is saved, Liu Bei will break Yuan Shao, and the wolf will be driven to the tiger. To save or not to save, it is difficult to decide. I went to bed at night, but I still talked about it. Wu Feng was very surprised, but asked: "Why is the general so abnormal today, and he keeps thinking about it, what is the matter?" "Tianhua is the matter of Liu Bei's request for help, and Wu Feng listened. Wu Feng said: "The general has something to do, why not discuss with the ministers, what's the use of chattering!" Tianhua said: "Madame's words are reasonable, among the ministers of Linzi today, who can be the farthest forward?" Wu Feng said: "Concubines don't dare to judge others." Tianhua said: "It's okay, it's okay, the words of the husband and wife's bedside are harmless, please try it." Wu Feng said: "Since you ask each other, the concubine should be foolish." There are very few of the people under this tent who are wise. Mr. Xi Zhong is good at using soldiers and is proficient in the affairs of the battle; Mr. Zhou Jing, meeting on affairs, diplomatic and public relations; Mr. Sun Qian, who can know official documents and internal affairs in the house; Mr. Cheng Yu understands the form and has the most foresight; The rest, such as Li Si and others, do not need to be explained. Tianhua was overjoyed and said: "Madame's words are very reasonable, Mr. Cheng Yu is far-sighted, and he can inquire about this matter today." ”

Tianhua immediately changed his clothes and stayed, and let Cheng Yu go to the mansion to discuss matters. Left and right were ordered to come out, and Tianhua stopped again, but went to Cheng Yu's mansion to ask for advice. Walked to Cheng's mansion, reported left and right, and Cheng Yu got up to meet him. Tianhua Dao understood his intentions, and said Liu Bei's request for help again. Tianhua said: "I know that Zhongde is the most far-sighted, can you teach me how to do it?" Cheng Yu shook his little head and said, "According to the lord's opinion, Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, who among the two is easy to deal with?" Tianhua said: "Liu Bei is benevolent and righteous, brave and strategic, and he is the dragon among people." Now the plain is shallow and cannot soar. If it takes time, it will go straight to the sky. Yuan Shao is very bold and bold, and he is a hakama ointment. Those who can sit in Jizhou today are all because of the service of Yuan's former officials. Except for Yuan Shao, it should be easy for Liu Bei. Cheng Yu said: "The lord's words are very true. Does the lord know Liu Bei's intention to crusade against Yuan Shao? Tianhua said: "Although I don't know Liu Bei's true intentions, I know that Liu Bei must not be for the young emperor of the plains?" Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Yes." Liu Bei's attack on Yuan Shao was due to the lack of water in the counties, and Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, if Yuan Shao was not removed, it would be difficult for Liu Bei to grow. So I didn't think that I could use Yuan Shao's hand to eradicate Liu Bei. Tianhua said: "According to Mr.'s wishes, should I refuse to send troops?" Cheng Yu said: "No." Liu Bei is a benevolent and righteous person, and there is the Han Emperor elsewhere, so he cannot be saved. "Tianhua doesn't know what it means. Cheng Yu said: "If the lord doesn't save Liu Bei, I'm afraid that he will be talked about by the world." Our army can first garrison an army in Jibei. If Liu Bei wants to resist Yuan Shao's counterattack, he must do his best to gather on the front line, the rear will inevitably be empty, or there will be thieves in and out of the very, in order to prevent changes, our army must not be evacuated in a hurry. In the following meaning, the lord can understand? Tianhua was overjoyed and said: "Very good, very good, in this way, our army does not spend a single soldier, but it can sit in Jibei." ”

Tianhua resigned from Cheng Yu and returned to the mansion, when Wu Feng was already asleep. Because he asked a clever plan, he was very happy, and he actually woke Wu Feng up, and fought several battles before resting.

In the early morning of the next day, Tianhua summoned Li Si and Ji Ling. Tianhua said: "Liu Bei asked me to write books and send me to support." The two of you will take the 'Qingzhou Cavalry Regiment' and 10,000 infantry first. The two of them then went to order the soldiers and horses. Before leaving, Tianhua and Li Si had three tips, and said in their ears: "Big brother, these three tips are the plan of me and Mr. Cheng Yu, and we will open the first one after fifty miles out of the city." Li Si and Xu Chu were ordered to go out of the city. Forty or fifty miles away, Li Si couldn't wait to open the bag and said: "Quickly lead the army, go straight to the north bank of Jishui, and set up the camp." With 2,000 infantry, Benji Beizhilu County, if there are defenders blocking the entry into the city, quickly open the second bag. Li Si and Xu Chu didn't know what they meant, but they had to do it. After the army was encamped, Li Si rushed to Zhilu County, Jibei. When he arrived at the bottom of the city, the defenders of the city asked, "Where are the horses and horses, they must not move forward." Li Si opened the second bag, there were two books, one said: "With the guard general Daoming, it is Qingzhou to support Liu Huangshu's troops, and he travels to Jibei, and wants to camp here for a day to adjust, so as to wait for grain and grass to cross the river and then go to the battlefield." The original letter of Liu Bei can be handed over to the guards to watch, and the guards must believe it. The third one was opened the next day after entering the city. "The other is Liu Bei's request for help. Li Si reported it to the city guard, tied the letter to an arrow, and shot it at the city. When the soldiers defending the city saw Liu Bei's hand, they opened the city gate and let Li Si and others enter the city.
