Guan Yu is not only loyal and righteous, nor is he only martial artistic.

In fact, Guan Yu's strategy is not bad, otherwise, it would be impossible for Guan Yu to sit in Jingzhou for so long with a group of unpopular generals and strategists in history, and he also fought with Cao Cao in a series of battles, flooding Cao Cao's Seventh Army, beheading Pang De, and blocking the attack of Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of military horses. If Liu Bei hadn't sent reinforcements to Guan Yu, Guan Yu would not have been defeated by Maicheng because of insufficient troops, and the myth of a generation of martial saints would have ended.

Of course, there may be a reason why Cao Cao secretly formed an alliance with Eastern Wu and was defeated by Eastern Wu.

In general, Guan Yu lives up to the name of a martial saint, and he should be first-class in martial arts. At least it can show that Guan Yu's intelligence is not low.

This time, at a glance, there were many flawed incidents, how could Guan Yu not see it?

Seriously, let's not talk about the stilt of the matter in front of you, just talk about Liu Biao's invitation to Liu Bei to come to Xiangyang. Guan Yu sensed from the beginning that this would not be too simple, at least, a discerning person could see at a glance that even if Liu Biao had thousands of reasons, it was unlikely that he would say that he would hand over the military and political power of Jingzhou to Liu Bei. In Jingzhou, in terms of qualifications and talents, Liu Bei was not lined up to preside over the overall situation of Jingzhou, and it was simply said that it was to rely on the courage of Liu Bei's two righteous brothers to ensure that Jingzhou was not lost, although this is a reason, but it is still not sufficient, and it cannot be said that Liu Biao can be willing to delegate power.

Guan Yu believed that Liu Bei would definitely be able to see that this matter was not simple, but Liu Bei still came resolutely. What does this mean? This shows that Liu Bei's heart is willing to take risks in order to be able to win a bigger territory. It shows the anxiety in Liu Bei's heart.

It can be said that Liu Bei risked his life and came to Xiangyang, Jingzhou. But when the matter came to an end, he said that he remembered the relationship between him and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two righteous brothers, and did not promise Liu Biao to take over the power of Jingzhou? Well, this, even if Liu Bei said that he had seven emotions and six desires, and he said it with true feelings, Guan Yu didn't dare to believe it, it was exactly like this. Guan Yu will finally confirm with Liu Bei. Hearing Liu Bei's answer, Guan Yu's heart was complicated and painful, because he had an intuition. made Guan Yu feel that Liu Bei was cheating on him.

Because Liu Biao is not Liu Bei, Liu Biao will definitely not know himself and his third brother Zhang Fei so well as his eldest brother. If it weren't for Liu Bei himself, it would be very likely that he and his third brother Zhang Fei would not accept Liu Biao's appointment to lead the Jingzhou army and horses to fight against the Xinhan army. How could Liu Biao know what he and his third brother Zhang Fei were thinking?

Liu Biao didn't know. How could he send someone to catch Liu Bei to blackmail himself and his third brother?

Guan Yu had a hunch that Liu Bei was caught by Jing Yue, and even suspected in his heart that this was a play played by Liu Bei and Liu Biao. Its purpose is to force himself and his third brother Zhang Fei to submit to the army, and lead the army to fight against the New Han Army for Liu Biao.

Facts, don't say it's for Liu Biao, even if it's Liu Bei. Guan Yu clearly understood in his heart that Liu Bei definitely didn't want the New Han Army to defeat Liu Biao. Capture Jingzhou. Because, if Liu Biao's Jingzhou falls into the hands of Liu Yi, then where will he Liu Bei go? I'm afraid it won't work to stay in Xinye, even if Liu Yi remembers the old relationship with Liu Bei and his Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and allows Liu Bei to own the city of Xinye, but it's just a small city in Xinye, where can Liu Bei develop? Therefore, it is best to hope that Liu Biao can defeat the New Han Army, and then he will have a chance to develop from it.

At this point, Liu Biao and Liu Bei's thoughts are estimated to be the same, so that Liu Bei will use this bitter trick to force himself and his third brother Zhang Fei to comply.

After Zhang Fei listened to Guan Yu's words, he also faintly noticed that there were some conspiracies in tonight's incident that he couldn't understand. But if he was asked to say it clearly, he couldn't.

He scratched his head and said annoyedly: "Hey, I don't want to think about it, I don't want to do it, just do it." Anyway, we don't want to lead the army to fight Liu Yi for Liu Fan. It's a big deal, I'll just kill and rescue my eldest brother. ”

"Nonsense!" Guan Yu knew that these things didn't make sense to Zhang Fei for a while, so he had to reprimand and said: "From now on, if you can trust the second brother, then do what the second brother says." ”

"Second brother, when will we not be able to believe you? Say no more. You say, what are we going to do now? Zhang Fei hurriedly said.

"What to do? Now, we don't have to do or think about anything. Just waiting for Liu Biao's order, we will lead the army to the expedition when we will lead the army. Guan Yu seemed to have figured it out, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, find a clean and clean place, and make up for a good night's sleep." ”

"Huh? Second brother, you, are you still in the mood to sleep now? My eldest brother and I were all arrested by Liu Biao's wife...... Also, do we really want to fight for Liu Biao's army? Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he said puzzled.

"Huh...... Eldest brother? Guan Yu said noncommittally: "He won't be in danger, at least, he won't be in danger now." As for the unification of the army? We're just commanding the army, is it possible, you old black really want to meet that kid from Lewis on the battlefield? Well, I'd love to see you fight that kid for real, and see who's better at martial arts. ”

"Ha, second brother, I didn't expect you to have such a bad mind and really fight with that kid Lewy? Hehe, how could that kid be our opponent? It's not that I haven't tried with him, which time didn't I beat Lewy's kid all over the ground to find teeth? When Zhang Fei heard about the fight with Liu Yi, his eyes actually lit up a little.

Syllable!

Guan Yu waved his hand, slapped Zhang Fei's big head, and said slightly angrily: "Hmph! Do you really think you're invincible? Every time I see Lu Bu, I am babbling, I have to fight with others, but when can you really beat others? Leu's kid, he is no longer the little volunteer brother we used to be, he should have his creation, speaking of martial arts, no, if you talk about battlefield death, I'm afraid, the two of us combined, may not be able to defeat him. The usual fight? That's because that kid didn't do his best, or rather, we are brothers and can't be a killer, so he will be bullied by us. Otherwise, you think? Hum. Lu Bu has never begged for benefits in the hands of Liu Yi's kid from the beginning, if you really want to fight, can you be the opponent of Liu Yi's kid? ”

"Hey...... I, I don't just forgive him, that kid doesn't dare to do anything to us. Do you compare with him? Zhang Fei said with a smirk.

"Let's go, since Liu Biao dares us to command his Jingzhou army, well, since they want to use us, then, let's just let them see the consequences of using us." Guan Yu pulled Zhang Fei and walked out of the post station that was still on fire.

Guan Yu now. It seems that I really want to open it. That painful and depressed heart seems to be much brighter at the moment.

Well, Guan Yu thought. Since things have come to this point, what else does he Guan Yu have to worry about? Originally, he had already planned to leave Liu Yi to join the New Han Dynasty. It's just that because of the situation, I can't pull my face for a while. He had to follow Liu Bei temporarily. But now. This is Liu Bei scheming to use him Guan Yu first, so he can't blame him for Guan Yu's unkindness.

Guan Yu had already thought that this qiē should be Liu Bei and Liu Biao conspiring to join forces to blackmail himself into commanding the Jingzhou army for Liu Biao, so that he could fight with the New Han Army, could it be that Liu Bei hoped that he and Liu Yi would turn against each other? As long as he really fights with Liu Yi, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for me to talk about joining the New Han Dynasty in the future. These two are really a good ploy. Want to figure out how to force yourself to turn against Liu Yi in order to get your purpose of fighting for him forever?

All right. Guan Yu thought with a relaxed face, he just planned to lead the New Han Army to win Jingzhou, so even if it was a meeting gift before he and his third brother Zhang Fei officially joined the New Han Dynasty, use the land of a state as a gift to serve the New Han Dynasty, I believe that it can also earn enough face for Liu Yi, and those of us who are his big brothers have not lost his face Liu Yi.

And Zhang Fei has always thought that the second brother Guan Yu is brave and strategic, what is the matter, it is right to listen to the second brother Guan Yu, he himself is too lazy to think about anything, anyway, when he was in the ancient city earlier, he didn't want to recognize Liu Bei, so he voted for Liu Yi. Now, as he wants, it is good to have wine and meat for him.

A few days later, Kuai Yue personally found Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and invited them to the Xiangyang Palace, where they met Liu Bei and a group of Jingzhou civil and military officers in the conference hall.

Liu Biao, on the other hand, looked like he would lose his breath at any time, and he was pushed out with a small cart when he was weak.

Next, Cai Mao, the Kuai family brothers, etc., a group of civil and military officers successively introduced the current situation of the Jingzhou Army to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Subsequently, Liu Biao personally appointed Liu Bei to preside over the military and political power in Jingzhou on his behalf, and then officially appointed Guan Yu as the commander of the Jingzhou army, and Zhang Fei as the deputy commander.

Like Cai Mao, Wen Ping, Huang Zu, Wang Wei, etc., the generals of the original armies in Jingzhou still commanded the troops and horses, but directly obeyed Guan Yu's combat orders.

In other words, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are more like the name of the commander of the Jingzhou Army, in fact, in addition to giving combat orders to the generals of the Jingzhou Army, there is no need for Guan Yu to take care of other things, in fact, Guan Yu can't manage it if he wants to. For example, the supply of military horses and military rations, the equipment of the army, etc., Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are difficult to ask.

Guan Yu naturally understood the trickiness in it, and understood that Liu Biao was just using his and Zhang Fei's martial arts to fight against the New Han Army, and the power to truly lead the army was not really in his hands.

However, Guan Yu remained silent and responded expressionlessly, without saying a word.

Maybe Liu Biao and other civil and military officials thought that Guan Yu was in a bad mood now, and no one would be happy if he was threatened. Therefore, the appointment handover form is very simple. In the end, it was just a matter of letting a group of civil and military officers meet Guan Yu, the commander of the three armies, and it would be over.

Guan Yu just said: "The New Han Army has been in Wancheng for a while under the leadership of Liu Yi himself, and I am afraid that the New Han Army will attack the Jingxiang area at a later date, so it is better to send an army to Wancheng sooner rather than later." Troops will be sent in the coming days. ”

The generals naturally expressed their willingness to obey Guan Yu's orders.

Guan Yu was not polite, and directly ordered Cai Mao to immediately dispatch his military horses to cut off the Yushui River, and from then on, all troops and even civilian boats would not be allowed to travel to and from the Yushui River. In addition, he ordered a group of generals to lead their headquarters to advance upstream along the Yushui River, step by step, and could not give the Xinhan army a chance.

The Jingzhou Army, Liu Biao's plan to dispatch military horses to fight with the New Han Army, most of them have already gathered in the area of Jiaxia and Anzhong. An army of 200,000 or 300,000 joined Jiaxia and Anzhong, between the mountains. Fortifications were built to guard against the attacks of the New Han army.

In this way, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not have many military horses to bring from Xiangyang. The original 20,000 or 30,000 horses brought from Xinye, brought 20,000 people, and then Liu Biao transferred 70,000 or 80,000 military horses as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's Chinese army, a total of 100,000 horses and horses set off from Xiangyang.

On the surface, Guan Yu is now working for Liu Biao and thinking about Jingzhou. Mobilize military horses, which can be attacked and defended. However, Guan Yu has his own plans.

Well. Since Liu Bei and Liu Biao are acting, why not let Guan Yu cooperate with them a little? Now, in Xiangyang, he can't make any moves. At least. I know. Seeing that Liu Bei is now being "hostaged" by Liu Biao, if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei don't cooperate now, they will be in a relationship, in case Liu Biao really kills Liu Bei, it will be equivalent to him Guan Yu and Zhang Fei killing Liu Bei, this killed the name of his brother, Guan Yu asked himself if he couldn't afford it, so. He had no choice but to put on a show, for the life of his brother Liu Bei. Although he had to command the army of Jingzhou, since he had already commanded it, he had to think about Jingzhou and Liu Biao.

Guan Yu knew that as long as he and Zhang Fei left Xiangyang and arrived in front of Wancheng City, whether to fight or surrender at that time, it would be up to him Guan Yu to decide.

However, one thing is true.

Liu Biao's Jingzhou army, under the leadership of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two generals who had already shocked the Han Dynasty, the morale of the Jingzhou army was indeed a little high, and there was less of the indescribable panic when they heard that the New Han army was going to kill them.

It seems that the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army have improved their fighting spirit a lot, at least, under the accounts of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the military horses can be ordered and prohibited, and everyone seems to be much more energetic.

This should be the role of the general. Although they don't have the skills in the game, they can invisibly boost the morale of the sergeants when they are in the army.

When they arrived in Anzhong County, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stopped, inspected the defense situation between Anzhong County and Jiaxia County, and then issued a military order, from which about 200,000 military horses were drawn, plus the military horses brought from Xiangyang, a total of 300,000 military horses, and directly advanced to the place less than ten miles in front of Wancheng City to camp.

For a time, from the head of Wancheng City, you can see the 300,000 military horses of the Jingzhou Army from a distance, and its camp seems to be so many as you can see at a glance, and it is continuous.

Well, in Jingzhou, although Liu Bei is nominally in charge of the overall situation of Jingzhou. However, in secret, Liu Biao, who was not sick at all, was giving orders, and in response to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's mobilization of military horses, they also had other arrangements in secret.

Liu Biao immediately ordered a secret envoy to rush to Xiangcheng to submit some information, explaining to the Cao army general in Xiangcheng that this time with the Xinhan army, their Jingzhou army was willing to fight the vanguard, and would soon launch an attack on Wancheng. When Jingzhou attacked Wancheng, if the military horses of Xiangcheng did not rush to Wancheng to help the war, then it would prove that Cao Cao's alliance with him Liu Biao did not have the slightest intention of the city, then he Liu Biao would not do it, and he would immediately withdraw his military horses, and from then on he would only defend it, and would not ally with Cao Cao to denounce the New Han Dynasty.

For this point, Liu Biao also grasped Cao Cao's lifeline, knowing that Cao Cao must also want to defeat the New Han Army and capture Wancheng, hoping to attack and kill Luoyang, the capital of the New Han Dynasty, destroy the New Han Dynasty and kill Liu Yi. If this can be done, then there is only Cao Cao's court in the Han world that can represent the imperial power of the Han Dynasty. In the future, the entire Han Dynasty may be his Cao Cao's world.

Therefore, Liu Biaoxiàn is here, he just wants to be in a corner, he only seeks self-preservation, not to destroy the enemy. In this way, in comparison, I am afraid that Cao Cao is a little more anxious than Liu Biao.

To put it bluntly, Cao Cao was also a little worried that Liu Biao would break the jar and break it, so that he couldn't get any benefits at both ends.

These days, Liu Yi and Qin Jie have inspected the situation around Wancheng, and by the way, they also took the women around them, which was as easy as playing in the mountains and rivers. It seems that he is not worried about Liu Biao and Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of military horses at all.

Indeed, Liu Yi is really not too worried about Liu Biao and Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of military horses now.

Because, under the arrangement of Wancheng's defensive position that Qin Jie had spent almost ten years arranging, there was no need to worry about Jingzhou Liu Biaojun or Cao Cao's army being able to capture Wancheng lightly. Not to mention bypassing Wancheng and waving troops into the belly of his new Han Dynasty to directly attack Luoyang.

The defensive position of Wandi, not only Wancheng, in addition to Wancheng, around Wancheng, there are several military villages, these military villages, are built in some easy to defend and difficult to attack positions, between each other, the distance is generally not more than ten miles, at any time can send troops to each other to help Wancheng or other military villages.

Well, now, Liu Yi actually doesn't want to talk about defense at all, he thinks about offense.

The reason why he arrived in Wancheng and never attacked Liu Biaojun was because Liu Yi didn't want his sergeants to fight too many battles when attacking, so as not to suffer too heavy casualties. In particular, with Cao Cao's army by his side, it was obviously not the right time to immediately attack Liu Biao. Therefore, Liu Yi will wait, waiting for Liu Biao or Cao Cao's army to make any moves, and then choose to fight according to the situation.

From the very beginning, Liu Yi saw it very thoroughly, no matter how many military horses Liu Biao could dispatch in Jingzhou, or how many military horses Cao Cao could dispatch, but Liu Biao and Cao Cao's military horses would never join forces together, so Liu Yi felt that he had a possibility that could be broken one by one.

Well, who said that he must use troops against Liu Biao? If Cao Cao dares to come, what if Liu Yi is unprepared to use troops against Cao Cao? Anyway, Cao Cao has already torn his face with himself, and he doesn't have to be polite to him. (To be continued......)
