Let's not talk about how Cao Ren and Guan Yu met in Wancheng, and say that Liu Bei listened to Jiang Wan's suggestion, and when he sent troops to Runan, Wancheng, and Shangyong, he borrowed some grain, grass, baggage and even reinforcements from Zhang Xiu on the grounds of helping Zhang Xiu get back Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu received Jiang Wan's letter and showed it to Jia Xu, Jia Xu said, this is a game, if you borrow it, it may be to borrow Liu Bei's hand to weaken Cao Cao's strength, or it may be to make Liu Bei bigger, it is a gamble, there are losses and wins, and if you don't borrow, you don't participate in this gamble. Whether you participate or not depends on what you mean.

Jia Xu looked at Zhang Xiu silently, thinking that with his IQ, he might not be able to fully consider the benefits and losses of this gamble, so he said tentatively:

"Why don't you pass the news to the young master and see what the young master means?"

"yes, that's a good idea." Zhang Xiu replied that in the past few months, I have been accustomed to handing over government affairs and military affairs to Jia Xu, and I and Cai Qingqing have carefree days of shopping, shopping, and hunting. People live for a lifetime, just play freely.

At this time, Zhang Quan was in Chang'an, and sent a message from Xiangyang to Chang'an, going up the Han River to Hanzhong, passing through Shangyong, who was occupied by Ma Chao, on the way, carefully avoiding his inspection post, and then passing from Hanzhong to Chang'an through Yangping Pass.

If Zhang Quan really waited for the news, the daylily would be cold.

Fortunately, when Jia Xu sent a message to Zhang Quan, he also passed it to Zhuge Liang, a young man who admired his talent in Chengdu, and Zhuge Liang received the news, and immediately shook his finger and said:

"Borrow! Why not borrow! Cao Cao sat on a million people and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes. As long as it is against Cao Cao, they are all our allies! Regardless of whether it is an explicit strategy or a secret strategy, only if it can weaken Cao Cao, it is a good strategy! ”

Zhuge Liang's reply was passed on to Jia Xu, and Jia Xu also found that the only force in the world that can match Zhang Xiu is Cao Cao, and the grain and grass in Xiangyang City are sufficient, so it doesn't hurt to give Liu Bei a part, as for the reinforcements, they are exempted, and there is a letter written by Jia Xu on behalf of Zhang Xiu to Liu Bei:

I have heard about the prestige and virtue of your Liu Bei Liu Huang Uncle Zhang Xiu for a long time, and I placed you in Xinye at the beginning, not because I pity you, but because I admire and admire you. I've always wanted to meet you, but I can't let you be wronged to make you come to Xiangyang, and I don't have time to go to Xinye to see you because I am busy with government affairs, so I haven't visited you for so long, don't blame me. Although Cao Cao in the north is really a thief under the name of Han Xiang, I have long wanted to go north to eliminate harm for the people, but I have always been afraid of Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops, and often think of the defeat of Wancheng, so I am too cowardly to dare to go north. Now that I heard that Uncle Huang is going to crusade against Cao Cao to restore the Han Dynasty, of course I will fully support you and make a solid rear for you; What you need, just mention; On the day you unify the Central Plains, I should bow down and be a vassal!

When Liu Bei received the letter, Shangyong Ma Chao had already surrendered to him, and after reading it, his confidence was full, of course, he also knew that the words in the letter were three points true and seven points false, but the large amount of grain, grass and equipment sent by Zhang Xiu could not be fake, and he immediately decided to continue to expand outward, but he still did not want to fight Xuchang, so he marched east from Runan and attacked Huainan Shouchun, which was stalemate by Sun Quan and Cao Cao's army.

······

But back to Cao Ren's side, Cao Ren led 5,000 cavalry vanguard to rush to the high ground of Wancheng, looking at the huge Wancheng and feeling very cordial, and was suddenly killed by Guan Yu.

"Look at the first !! of the first bid to be sold"

Guan Yu's red beard fluttered, and a green dragon glaive knife waved like a domesticated dragon by Guan Yu, circling and attacking. Guan Yu's soldiers rushed towards Cao Renjun from the heights of Wancheng like a tide.

Cao Ren's dragon blood concentration exceeds 50%, which is limited by human rules, and he cannot be dragonized to enhance his combat effectiveness. And Guan Yu's dragon blood concentration is higher than him, and he can't be dragonized. But what made Cao Ren depressed was that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had a concentration of about 80% dragon blood, and they had no awareness that they were dragons and not humans, and they never thought about dragonization or semi-dragonization to enhance combat effectiveness, but used the power of dragon blood to increase the power and field of human form in a down-to-earth manner; Guan Yu's combat power even slightly surpassed Xiahoudun and Zhang Liao in a half-dragon state!

Maybe Guan Yu didn't have many soldiers, only thousands; Perhaps the soldiers were not equipped with any weapons, and they were all clothed and hoeed to go into battle; Perhaps Guan Yu's soldiers were extremely tired from the hurried march to the city of Wancheng. However, Cao Ren's army was a 5,000-strong cavalry, and it was completely possible to wreak havoc when it encountered Guan Yu's army on the plain, even if the terrain was disadvantaged, it had the strength to fight.

It's just that these theoretical analyses are not important, the important thing is that the hearts of Cao Ren's soldiers who had just returned home and felt warm and settled down were broken by Guan Yu, who suddenly appeared, and their broken hearts fell from their horses and smashed on the dry and cracked earth with a "pop" sound.

Cao Ren's soldiers hurriedly responded to the battle, many soldiers who were not proficient in equestrianism fell from their horses, and the horses that fled in a hurry and the soldiers who didn't know anything made Cao Ren's army array like a noisy and disorderly vegetable market, and the unclothed Guan Yu soldiers covered up, like a sickle harvesting wheat waves, too easy, only when the sluggish hoe cut on the thick armor of the Cao army, and the soldiers who were cut down were not scared to death and waited for the big eyes to look at Guan Yubing, they would realize that this was a battlefield.

"Don't panic, everyone!" Cao Ren shouted, "We are cavalry!" Charge back and forth and trample the enemy army! ”

After Cao Ren finished shouting, Guan Yu swept towards him with the Green Dragon Glaive Knife, like a green dragon galloping, and Cao Ren dodged and parried.

A word woke up the person in the dream, Cao Ren suddenly felt that he still had the strength to fight, and he still had a very advantage, after all, it was a cavalry, and there was no infantry under the cavalry. However, the Cao Ren cavalry, who charged back and forth and trampled on the enemy, were all colliding with each other in the chaotic army, and there was no rule at all, and in time the two horses collided together and fell one after another, and sometimes one horse crashed into the side of the other horse, and fell down. Many of the fallen soldiers groaned in pain, and the next thing that awaited them was the hooves of their companions coming from their backs.

There are countless tramples on each other. At this time, if Cao Ren came to command this cavalry in a unified manner, then it would still be very effective, but now that Cao Ren was killed by Guan Yu and lost his armor and almost died, how could he have time to command the cavalry.

While Cao Ren was dodging Guan Yu's attack in a hurry, he found that the situation around him was very bad. immediately sold Guan Yu a flaw, pulled a bewildered Cao soldier between Guan Yu and him, and then fled to many places of the rebellious soldiers. Cao Ren only heard a scream and the sound of blood flying, and the soldier of his own side was stabbed in two by Guan Yu. But he didn't have time to care about the life or death of a soldier now, and shouted to the soldiers:

"Everyone rushed to Wancheng! Rush to Wancheng! The horse rushed towards Wancheng.

This is a big gamble, and Cao Ren now doesn't know if Wancheng is occupied by Guan Yu. If Wancheng is still in the hands of Cao Ren, Cao Ren will have a chance to rush to Wancheng City; If Wancheng has been occupied by Guan Yu, then rushing to the bottom of Wancheng City and suffering the enemy on his back will only be dead.

However, Cao Ren had no choice, he could only gamble, if he didn't gamble, he would be trapped here, and it was likely that Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Knife would cut off his neck in the next moment.

Cao Ren won the bet, Wancheng was still in his hands, and when the defenders on Wancheng saw that it was Cao Ren who rushed forward, the city gate was suddenly opened and Cao Ren was allowed to enter the city.

However, Cao Ren's soldiers were not as lucky as him, when Cao Ren's army fled to the Wancheng Heights, Guan Yu shouted that the soldiers tried their best to stop the fight, and the Wancheng soldiers galloped to the Wancheng Heights, some of them fell down with people and horses when they climbed the slope, and they were instantly drowned in the dust brought up by the horses' hooves, some were tripped by Guan Yu's soldiers, and some fell to the ground on the rocks.

Wancheng is located on a 100-meter-high slope, and there are only a dozen cavalry who can follow Cao Ren to rush to Wancheng City, all of which were entangled by Guan Yu and the soldiers who arrived in time, and they were tortured and killed.

The last cavalryman closed the gates of Wancheng for Cao Ren as he fell from his horse.
