Guan Yu was about to kill someone without saying a word, Fang Shao and the others were shocked, and the little colonel was so frightened that he knelt on his legs and cried: "General Guan spares his life, the little one didn't mean it, just because the little one received the meat at that time and accidentally dropped part of it into the water when he brought it back to the camp, so he had to give the brothers a few taels less, and the little one really didn't mean it." ”

Guan Yu said with a straight face: "The soldiers do this business of licking blood with knives and heads, in order to mix a bite of food, but you easily lose the reward they deserve, whether it is intentional or not, it is enough to prove that you have never paid attention to the soldiers under you, what is the use of asking you to be such an inconsiderate officer of the soldiers, come, don't you drag it to behead!" ”

Guan Yu was ruthless, he didn't dare to disobey the order, and he hurriedly dragged the crying little school.

After a while, the cry stopped abruptly, and many people trembled with their bodies, as if the end had been cut on their necks.

Fang Shao sighed in his heart: "People say that Guan Yu is sympathetic to the soldiers, but he neglects the soldiers, I only heard about it before, but now I look at it, it's not really the case, no, this is not called neglect, it is simply called abuse." ”

But Meng Da thought in his heart: "This Guan Yunchang killed his subordinates in front of us, could it be that he wanted to kill Liwei and deter me?" If that's the case, then this person is too difficult to get along with. ”

The people on the left and right were shocked, but Guan Yu was calm, and said: "Hateful official, don't let him lose his interest, let's go, go and see the divine cannon." ”

Only then did everyone come back to their senses and cautiously follow Guan Yu to look at the dock.

In order to prevent this secret weapon from being revealed, the Shenwei cannon placed on the front deck of the fighting ship has always been covered with canvas.

After getting on the boat, Fang Shao said: "General Guan, this divine cannon is going to be used unexpectedly, there are many people here, let's sail the boat to a secluded place and make a demonstration." ”

Guan Yu said disapprerovingly: "I am like brothers and sisters to these soldiers, if there can be a Wu person among them, you don't have to worry, quickly demonstrate." ”

This is Guan Yu's territory, other people's territory is in charge, Fang Shao is not good at disobedience, so he had to order the soldiers to lift the canvas and perform on the spot.

While the soldiers were loading, Fang Shao asked Guan Yu to give an order to tow a fighting ship that was about to be abandoned to the river more than 200 steps away from the pier as a target ship.

When preparing, many Jingzhou soldiers also came to the shore to watch the excitement, and the soldiers widened their eyes and stretched their necks, looking at what kind of magic power that strange weapon could have.

The nail was pulled out, and the first stone bullet whizzed out, cutting a forty-five-degree arc, whistling towards the river.

"Wow-" An exclamation erupted in the crowd, and even Guan Yu's expression changed slightly.

However, as the stone bullet fell into the river ten meters behind the target ship with a "flutter", the exclamation turned into a disappointed "oh-"

"Zhongzheng, I think your so-called Shenwei cannon is actually just a thunderbolt made by Cao Ying in the battle of Guandu, although the range is longer, but this accuracy is far behind, if you want to use this thing against the Wu people's giant ship, I'm afraid it may not work." Guan Yu couldn't wait to express his doubts.

Fang Shao was full of confidence, and said with a faint smile: "Guan Yu and wait patiently, the soldiers haven't practiced for many days, and their hands are still raw, let them try a few more rounds." ”

With Guan Yu's knowledge, he wanted to use the "Thunderbolt", an inaccurate weapon of mass destruction, to hit a warship two hundred steps away, unless dozens of vehicles were launched together, Fang Shao wanted to hit it with this one, it was simply a waste of time.

So, Guan Yu crossed his hands in front of his chest, putting on a look of waiting patiently, and many of the soldiers on the shore lost interest and gradually began to disperse.

Soon, the second launch was launched, this time it landed in front of the target ship, and still did not hit.

Guan Yu didn't say anything this time, but just sneered slightly.

"Don't worry, drop some counterweights. Think about your experience practicing on the road, don't panic, take your time. Fang Shao was patient with his surname, and Wen Yan encouraged his soldiers.

Several soldiers stabilized their emotions and adjusted the counterweight stones again according to the visual gap, and then, a third stone projectile was ejected, cutting a standard arc through the sky.

A few seconds later, a crisp sound instantly woke everyone up from the dullness, and even Guan Yu was so shocked that he let go of his hands, instinctively rushed forward a few steps, and stood on the edge of the dock and looked into the distance.

But I saw that the underside of the fighting ship, the underside of the ship had been pierced by a stone bullet, revealing a hole the size of a grinding disc, and this bomb not only pierced the wall of the ship, but even the bottom of the ship also penetrated, and the river water quickly poured into the cabin, and after a while, a large fighting ship began to sink slowly.

"This—"

Guan Yuxing's eyes widened, looking at the slowly sinking broken ship in disbelief, he originally planned to watch a "protracted war", and estimated that it would take at least dozens of rounds to hit the target, unexpectedly, a fighting ship would be sunk within three rounds, such a high hit rate, such a powerful lethality, it was really the most powerful weapon he had seen in his life.

In front of Guan Yu, Fang Shao didn't sell his pretenses, so he explained with a smile: "General Guan, this Shenwei cannon is a transformation of the thunderbolt car, whether it is the chance of hitting or the power of the stone projectile, it is much higher than the thunderbolt car, this time we brought more than a hundred Shenwei cannons, I think under the bombardment of hundreds of divine cannons, the giant ship of the Wu people should not be worried." ”

Guan Yu lowered his eyebrows and was silent, stroked his beautiful hair and pondered for a long time, and suddenly a proud smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Some divine cannons help me, this time I will break Wu Dog." Zhongzheng, I'll work together this time to put on a good show for Sun Quan's stinky boy. ”

Guan Yu had to break the weapon of the Eastern Wu Naval Army, and immediately became arrogant, and then, after some bargaining with the Yizhou Army, it was convenient to raise troops after the fifth day, and the two armies had a total of 50,000 horses, along the Yangtze River to the east, and the troops entered Baqiu.

Located in Yueyang, Hunan Province, this Baqiu is the original dividing point between the two military groups of Liu and Sun, and is also an important stronghold for Xiangshui to enter and exit Dongting Lake, and is the second largest naval base of Eastern Wu in Jingzhou after Lukou.

A few days ago, the Wu army in Jingzhou received an order from Sun Quan to attack the three southern counties, so Lu Su personally led the navy from Lukou to the west to Baqiu, and blocked the waters of Dongting Lake with 30,000 sailors to prevent Liu Bei's army from Jingzhou. At the same time, he ordered Lü Meng to lead 10,000 sailors to the south along the Xiangshui River and directly take the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling. At the same time, Jiangxia Taishou Cheng Pu also received Sun Quan's order to lead the naval army out of Shaxian from Zhisuo, blockading the waters of the Yangtze River downstream of Lukou and preventing Guan Yu's naval army from entering the Yangtze River from the south of Hanshui.

Five days later, the Jingzhou army commanded by Guan Yu approached Dongting Lake in a mighty way, and Lu Su did not expect Guan Yu's army to dare to kill from the waterway, so he personally led the main force of the Wu army's water division Chen Bing at the mouth of Dongting Lake, the two armies were separated by more than 30 miles, and the battle was about to break out.

That night, Dongwu camped for more than ten miles along the shore of the lake, the lights were brilliant, and the boat village was like a city. And in the huge ship with the Lu flag, Lu Su, the commander of Eastern Wu, was uneasy.

He stood with his hands in his hands, sometimes pacing in the cabin, sometimes stopping in front of the map hanging on the wall, examining the upcoming battle between the Sun and Liu families.

However, his eyes are not limited to the small battlefield of Huting Hukou, but extends to Xiangyang in the north, Yizhou in the west, Hefei in the east, and even the distant Hebei.

"Pull a hair and move the whole body."

After staring at it for a long time, he shook his head and sighed, then sat down and took up a pen to repair a book.

Just as he was writing, a sword-eyed tiger general entered with the wind, bowed to Lu Su, and said: "General, Guan Yu is menacing, and he doesn't take my Dongwu Navy in his eyes, and Ning asks Ming to lead an army to be the vanguard and fight to the death with that Guan Yu." ”

The person who asked for war was the Eastern Wu general Gan Ning Gan Xingba.

Lu Su did not respond, but passed in a small colonel, handed the letter to him, and instructed: "You go to Jingzhou Water Village overnight, be sure to hand over this letter to General Guan Yunchang, there must be no mistake." ”

The little colonel took the order and left, Gan Ning looked suspicious, and said, "General, you are ......"

Lu Su said frankly: "It's nothing, I just made an appointment with Guan Yun Changming to meet alone on the shore." ”

Gan Ning was shocked and hurriedly said: "General, Guan Yu is a tiger and wolf, if you meet him alone, what if you are poisoned by him!" ”

Lu Su smiled lightly: "Guan Yunchang is a righteous person, he will never do this kind of thing that damages his reputation, Xingba can rest assured." ”

Gan Ning was puzzled: "General, now that the two families are at war again, on the battlefield, the soldiers are fighting each other, so why do you bother to do this." ”

Lu Su sighed: "Yun Chang is brave and brave, I can't imagine that he dares to fight me with a naval army this time, he will definitely lose this battle, and the three counties in the south will also be obtained by me." It's just that if Liu Xuande hears that Jingzhou has lost, he will inevitably come east with the troops of Yizhou, and the lord will personally lead the army to the west, and the two families will kill each other with the army of the country, no matter whether they win or lose, they will all be taken by Cao Ying, and then whether it is the losing side or the one who wins miserably, they will be unable to resist Cao Ying's attack, and at that time, my Dongwu will not face the gains and losses of one city and one state, but the danger of life and death. ”

Gan Ning's expression changed, but he said: "In this case, why didn't the general persuade the lord not to start the war lightly, and why did he become the current situation of riding a tiger." ”

Lu Su shook his head and said: "The lord hates Liu Xuande and wants to compensate for the losses of Hefei's defeat, and Ziming and others are bent on making meritorious contributions and trying their best to persuade the war, how can I persuade them alone." What's more, Liu Xuande clearly said that he would return Jingzhou to Jingzhou if he got it right, but now he doesn't pay it back, which is really infuriating. ”

It is thought that he Lu Su was able to become the military commander of the Western Front of Eastern Wu because of his efforts to promote the alliance between Sun and Liu, and that was because Sun Quan had to reconcile with Liu Bei before, so he needed him, a person who had a good relationship with Liu Bei, to sit in Lukou.

However, the current situation is that Liu Bei's repeated tricks have put him, the person who persuaded him to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei, into an embarrassing situation, and made himself lose face in front of Sun Quan and Eastern Wu Wenwu.

It's just that he underestimated Liu Bei's determination to confront, and he didn't expect Guan Yu to be so arrogant and dare to come to him for a decisive battle with the naval army, which was indeed unexpected by Lu Su, which made him feel that a local battle that was originally planned seemed to be gradually evolving into a decisive battle related to the survival of the two families.

"Yun Chang, I hope you can calm down, don't be impulsive, otherwise, the whole situation is not something that I Lu Su can control."
