Chapter 290: Take the initiative
After passing the Bishui Pass, Guan Yu led the team all the way to the east.
Do not enter the boundary of Xingyang in one day.
To the north of Xingyang, there is still a long way to go before you can enter the border of Hebei.
Ma Fei had already informed Guan Yu that Yuan Xu sent people to respond in Hebei.
After Cao Cao's territory, it is impossible for anyone to intercept it.
Following Cao Cao for several months, many people in Cao Ying's camp were very familiar with Guan Yu, even if they had never met him, at least they had heard of his name.
Wang Zhi, the general of Xingyang, and Han Fu are sons and daughters.
Han Fu was killed by Guan Yu, and Wang Zhi already had a heart of revenge!
It's just that Guan Yu is brave, looking at Xingyang, there is no one among the tooth generals who can walk under his knife.
Facing Guan Yu head-on, Wang Zhi didn't dare!
Guan Yu was about to come to Xingyang, Wang Zhi thought about it again and again, and ordered the city gate to be opened and personally went out of the city to greet him.
Waiting outside the city gate, he saw Guan Yu from a distance, and he quickly greeted him.
almost caught Bian Xidao'er, Guan Yu was somewhat wary of Wang Zhi's warm welcome.
"General Guan!" When he got closer, Wang Zhi arched his hand and said: "I don't know if the general is coming, I don't want to welcome you from afar, I hope you will forgive me!" ”
The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Guan Yu dismounted and saluted back: "Say goodbye to Cao Gong, escort my sister-in-law to Hebei to find my brother, pass through Xingyang, and ask the general to make it convenient!" ”
"General Guan and Liu Xuande are friends for eight worships, and escorting Xuande's family is a loyal act. Wang Zhi said with a smile: "The general has come to Laoton, please go into the city to rest for a day before leaving." ”
Thinking of the incident of Bishui Pass, Guan Yu excused himself and said: "It's important to hurry, the general's affection has been recorded!" ”
"General Guan is very brave. I don't feel sleepy. Wang Zhi said: "The two ladies traveled all the way in a carriage, can they endure the hardships? ”
Mention the two ladies of Ganmi. Guan Yu hesitated.
Since leaving Xudu, I have taken many detours. The two ladies have worked hard all the way, and they really deserve a good rest.
Bishui Guan was almost victimized by Bian Xi, and Guan Yu was somewhat wary of Wang Zhi.
"General, please enter the city!" Guan Yu was still hesitating, and Wang Zhi said: "A certain person will clean up the building, rest for a night, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow." ”
After thinking about it, Guan Yu said: "Okay, my sister-in-law is really tired all the way, and it doesn't hurt to rest for one night!" ”
"General Guan, please!" Wang Zhi stepped aside.
Guan Yu followed Wang Zhi into Xingyang.
Guandu line.
Yuan Shao commanded the army. Launched a daily onslaught against Cao's army.
Cao Jun resisted desperately, and it was difficult for Yuan Jun to have the merit of size!
Cao Jun barracks behind the high wall.
Cao Cao sat in the tent, and the tent was surrounded by his staff and generals.
"Yuan Shao is attacking all day long, our army is tired of coping, and it will not be a good thing for a long time!" Cao Cao said: "I plan to lead the army to attack, I don't know what the princes think? ”
"Our army has few soldiers, but Yuan Shao's command is like a cloud of warriors." Xun You said: "Taking the initiative is not a good choice. However, our army will not be able to hold on, and in the long run, the morale of the generals will be frustrated! ”
"What's Gongda's plan?" Cao Cao asked.
Yuan Shaobing arrived at Guandu. The daily consumption of grain and grass is quite huge, and when our army attacked, it was reasonable to allocate troops and horses to cut off the enemy's food route. Xun You said: "If his military rations are intercepted, the morale of the army will be scattered!" ”
"Who is the best to cut off the grain?" Cao Cao asked.
"General Zixiao is old and steady. It's up to the task! ”
Cao Cao looked at Cao Ren: "Zixiao, you are sure that you will lead the army to intercept the grain and grass of the Yuan army?" ”
"Yuan Juntun's grain office is extremely secretive." Cao Ren said: "Tanma can only explore the grain transportation route. It is not known where the rations are stockpiled. ”
"Do you know who escorted the grain and grass?" Cao Cao asked.
"Han Meng!"
"The generals of Hebei are the most brave with Yan Liang and Wen Chou. followed by Zhang He and Gao Ran. Cao Cao said: "Although Han Meng is not as good as everyone. The martial arts are also exquisite. If the son is filial, be careful! ”
"Don't worry, Cao Gong!" Cao Ren said: "If it is forcible seizure. A certain may not be his opponent, secretly ambush the soldiers and horses, and take advantage of his unpreparedness to attack it, even if Han Meng is successful, he can also take the enemy's food and grass! ”
"Shi Lian!" Cao Cao said to one of the generals in the tent: "You cooperate with Zixiao, secretly ambush the soldiers and horses, and defeat Han Meng!" ”
"The last general will not fail in his mission!" Shi Jian stood up and answered.
made the decision to take the initiative, Cao Cao immediately ordered his troops and horses, and prepared to launch a counterattack after repelling Yuan's army next time!
Outside the high walls.
The heavy infantry of the Yuan army climbed the earthen slope with a large shield in hand.
Lined up in a neat formation, Yuan Jun advanced step by step.
The archers followed closely behind the heavy infantry, their arrows tied to the bowstrings, and when they were within range, they unleashed feathered arrows at Cao's army.
The heavy infantry advanced step by step, and the Cao army archers at the head of the wall also mounted their bows and aimed at the Yuan army.
The Cao infantry held large shields and stood behind the archers, waiting for the Yuan army to approach before coming forward to fight.
The soil slope built by the Yuan army is the same height as the wall, although the two sides are one mile and one outside, they are fighting on the same level, and all the Cao army can rely on is the battlements!
As Yuan's army advanced towards the high wall, the two sides became closer and closer.
General Yuan Junbiao, who was at the forefront, raised his arm to stop the march of the army.
"Shield Array Advance!" The general shouted.
The heavy infantry of the Yuan army shouted in unison, and advanced forward with a shield wall.
The archers followed, and under the cover of their big shields, they ripped open their bowstrings, and their arrows pointed diagonally to the ground!
Yuan Jun approached step by step, and on the wall, the officer of Cao Jun shouted at the top of his voice: "Archer! ”
Cao's archers spread their bowstrings and pointed their arrows diagonally at the sky, waiting for Yuan's army to come into range.
Fighting between the two sides is on the verge of breaking out.
Looking at the soldiers who were approaching Cao's army from afar, Yuan Shao's face was solemn.
It had been many days since they arrived in Guandu, and Yuan's army would be repulsed by Cao's army every day when they launched attacks.
The two sides are constantly fighting, but they have long been in a stalemate.
Inside the city of Xingyang.
After Guan Yu entered the city, Wang Zhi asked people to sweep the building and settle Liu Bei's family.
Wang Zhi said to Guan Yu: "The last general has prepared some thin wine, and asked the general to appreciate his face." ”
In Bishui Pass, Guan Yu was invited by Bian Xi.
Just because he drank a few more bottles, if there was no reminder from Ma Fei, he almost made a big mistake.
Of course Guan Yu refused to go to the banquet!
"The general's kindness has been understood!" Guan Yu said: "I've been tired all the way, I just want to rest early, and I hope that the general is not strange!" ”
"That being the case, a certain person sent a banquet to General Guan's residence!" Wang Zhi said: "Don't disturb General Guan's rest!" ”
Wang Zhi did not force the invitation, but Guan Yu was relieved.
Entering the building, it didn't take long for someone to bring meat and wine.
Guan Yu was not polite, Meimei had a meal, said goodbye to the two Mrs. Ganmi, and went back to the room to rest.
At the same time, Wang Zhi lived.
A man in his early twenties stood in front of him.
This person has a kind face, although he is not very old, but he makes people feel very stable.
He is engaged in Hu Ban under Wang Zhi. (To be continued.) )
