Chapter 391: The Battle of Guandu Finally Came to an Empty Nest
Yang Xiu and Guo Jia exchanged a few words, glanced at Guo Jia, and asked with a smile: "Feng Xian called me over, it shouldn't be as simple as inviting me to drink!" ”
Guo Jia nodded: "Now there is a troublesome matter, and I have to ask Dezu for your help!" ”
Yang Xiu looked at him vigilantly, and Guo Jia said casually, "Do you know? Guan Yu will be leaving soon! ”
"Guan Yu?" Yang Xiu was taken aback, logically speaking, Guan Yu killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Liu Bei should have been beheaded by Yuan Shao, as soon as Liu Bei died, Guan Yu would stay here with Cao Cao forever, how would this be said to be gone, could it be that Liu Bei was still alive.
"Yes, he made a pact with the Lord when he surrendered, as long as Liu Bei appears, he will definitely leave!" Guo Jia looked like a matter of course.
"So, Liu Bei is not dead?"
Guo Jia shook his head helplessly: "Yes, a few days ago, I got the news that Liu Bei was actually sent to Runan by Yuan Shao, but as soon as Guan Yu heard about it, he immediately ran to bid farewell to the lord!" Speaking of this, he tapped the side of the wine jug with his fingers: "This Liu Bei, even I admire it very much, Guan Yu killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, I thought that this person would definitely die in the hands of Yuan Shao, but instead of dying, he persuaded Yuan Shao to run to Runan happily, this guy's luck is too good!" ”
Guo Jia's depression can be imagined, he originally planned to kill Liu Bei through the two battles of Baima and Yanjin, so that Guan Yu would stay in Cao Ying, Yang Xiu was even more depressed, he had calculated very well, and when Liu Bei died, he revealed Guo Jia's strategy to Guan Yu, when he was sincerely used by the Han family, the two of them worked hard, but they underestimated Liu Bei's cunning, Yang Xiu thought that the big thing entrusted by his father Yang Biao was not completed, and he immediately blamed himself.
Guo Jia is okay, Guan Yu is just a small result of his plan to buy one get two free. Fortunately, I lost my life, and for Yang Xiu, as soon as Guan Yu left, it was not beneficial to the officials of their Luoyang faction, and he also participated in the hunt of Xu Tian back then. But at that time he was just a small family, every day behind his father Yang Biao, when Xu Tian hunted, Cao Cao replaced the Son of Heaven to meet the praise of the hundred officials, at that time Guan Yufeng's eyes were slightly open, and he was ready to kill Cao Cao, but for some reason he was stopped by Liu Bei, and this scene was just in the eyes of him and Yang Biao. Only then did Yang Xiu know that Guan Yu was really a loyal person, many times better than the ruthless Uncle Liu Huang, so when Guo Jia was about to borrow a knife to kill, he didn't explain to Guan Yu that the purpose was to want Liu Bei to die, but he didn't expect this Liu Bei to be so cunning that he could survive, and now Guan Yu is gone. Their Luoyang faction is equivalent to a potential arm being broken by life, and the person who breaks this arm. It was that Liu Bei, Uncle Liu Huang.
Yang Xiuqiang suppressed the loss in his heart, leaned over and asked, "General Guan is leaving, what does the prime minister mean?" ”
Guo Jia pursed his lips, and his tone was a little complaining: "What else can the lord mean?" He said, "Every man is his master, let him go, alas." You just said that the lord will be a hero and a poet, and when Liu Bei was in Xudu, he was also the benevolence of the lord. Let him go, there was the Xuzhou Rebellion, and now it's like this, it's all the poet's fault! ”
Yang Xiu snorted disdainfully: "How do I remember that someone suggested that the prime minister not kill Liu Bei, that person seems to be you!" ”
was told that Guo Jia didn't blush, but just coughed lightly: "I said I wouldn't kill, but I didn't let the lord let him leave Xudu, so it's still the poet who caused trouble!" ”
"So, what does Bongxian need me to do?" Yang Xiu said tentatively.
Guo Jialuo raised his eyes: "Kill Yan Liang and Zhu Wenchou, you have cooperated with Guan Yu, he has no vigilance against you, this task is the most suitable for you to complete!" ”
In the Battle of White Horse and the Battle of Yanjin, the reason why Guan Yu was able to kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou was planned by Yang Xiu, Yang Xiu's mind Guo Jia understood very well, and at the same time Guo Jia's mind Yang Xiu also understood, but the two did not break each other, although Yang Xiu was loyal to the Han family, and Guo Jia was loyal to Cao Cao, but they all had the same enemy, that is, the princes of the world.
Yang Xiu was so smart that he had already guessed what Guo Jia was going to say next.
"If Guan Yu and Liu Bei return, there will be no peace in the south of our army, so Dezu, you and Deng Zhan will take some elites to lurk, as soon as Guan Yu leaves Cao Ying, try to kill him, I have a dose of fierce medicine to cure the poet's disease!"
As a result, Yang Xiu did not accept Guo Jia's task, not only did he not accept it, but instead went to Cao Cao to sue Guo Jia, prompting Guo Jia to be scolded by Cao Cao, that day, Guo Jia walked out of Cao Cao's camp angrily, pointed to Yang Xiu's camp and scolded: "Good you Yang Dezu, I have a heart-to-heart with you, but you are a traitor, I am really angry with me!" But Guo Jia did not give up the strategy of sniping Guan Yu, so he asked Deng Zhan to lead five hundred elites to intercept Guan Yu, the result can be imagined, five hundred people were beaten by Guan Yu and fled, if it were not for the timely rescue of the guards, I am afraid that he would have become a ghost under Guan Yu's knife, and the final outcome was that Guan Yu passed five passes and killed six generals, and successfully let Liu Bei meet in the ancient city.
"The city wall on the left is made up with two more things, tell that over there, if you can hold it, you will hold it, and if you can't hold it, you will apologize with death, this is the last batch of reinforcements, and there is no more one!"
Xiahou Yuan stood on the watchtower with his hands in his hands, staring at the defense line in front of him with a stern face, and one after another decisive and cold orders were issued, at this time, between the high walls and deep bases of Cao Ying and Yuan Ying, the soldiers dressed in black and orange were like ants that had blown up their nests, and fell into the most brutal hand-to-hand combat in a narrow area that stretched for dozens of miles.
"Report, General Qiyu, our army on the right flank retreats fifty steps!" A herald flew over and shouted.
When Xiahou Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he pointed his index finger in one direction without hesitation: "Come, let the crossbowman press it for me!" An officer beside him looked embarrassed: "General, it has been shooting over there for half a day, and the archer's fingers can no longer bear it." ”
Xiahou Yuan replied expressionlessly: "If your finger is broken, you bite it with your mouth, and if your mouth is cracked, you will use your teeth, what I want to shoot an arrow is not an excuse, do you understand?" ”
Although Xiahou Yuan is usually more sympathetic to his subordinates, but when he arrived on the battlefield, the ruthlessness in his bones was brought into full play, and he became disrespectful to his six relatives, and the herald took the order, and after a while, a burst of overwhelming carved arrows smashed to the right wing, and immediately rose a burst of blood mist, and dozens of Yuan troops who had just rushed to the city wall screamed and rolled down, and the offensive was slightly contained, but after a while, several times the Yuan army holding a rattan shield pounced up, completely submerging the Cao army infantry who rushed to fill the gap.
Such small changes continue to occur everywhere on the battlefield, the generals, generals, captains, Qu Chang, Tun Chang and even the lowest ordinary soldiers, each of them is desperately working in their own positions, hoping to have a little impact on the battle situation with their wisdom or bravery, as long as these influences accumulate a lot, they can gradually accumulate into a victory, but at this time on the battlefield, who Sun Wu and Han Xin will beckon, I'm afraid no one can say for sure.
"The handicap is chaotic, the dealer is not divided, what a chaotic gamble!" Xun You stood beside Xiahou Yuan, his narrow eyes narrowed into a slit, and his dark eyes showed wisdom, I don't know whether he was looking at Zhang Xiu or looking at the battlefield.
"Mr. Gongda, it's too dangerous here, you go up and down!" Xiahou Yuan didn't move his head, Xun You didn't move his steps, he looked up at the sky, and suddenly sighed: "The battle at sunrise is approaching noon now, can you know who the enemy commander is?" ”
"Chun Yuqiong!" Xiahou Yuan spit out the chief general of the Yuan army, and after speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and turned his head to look at Xun You: "What does Mr. Gongda mean?" ”
Xun You said: "Yuan Jun and our army have been facing each other for so long, why did they suddenly attack like they didn't want to die today, it is said that they attacked me and defended, they fought like this, and the losses were far greater than ours, but the other party did not have the intention of retreating at all, from sunrise to the present, today's battle, a little strange, it seems that Yuan Shao is going to move seriously!" ”
Xiahou Yuan was silent when he heard this, his hands rested on the guardrail of the watchtower, his body leaned forward, Xun You's doubts, in fact, he had been pondering in his heart, today's Yuan Shaojun's offensive was obviously different from the past, not only gathered a large number of private soldiers of various ethnic groups in the north and some outlaws, but even the elite Chinese army halberd warriors and Xiandeng soldiers all pulled up, putting on a desperate posture, Xiahou Yuan's camp is located in the core area of the Wuchao defense line, under great pressure, and now the troops in his hands are stretched, and almost even his own soldiers have been sent out.
"Report, General Qiyu, General Lejin quit the Black Nest!"
"Report, General Qiyu, General Yu Ban quit the black nest!"
"Report, General Qiyu, General Xiahoudun quit the black nest!"
“……”
Xiahou Yuan frowned, in his opinion, Yuan's attack is still a little insufficient, according to the art of war, if you want to break through the defense line of Guandu's company, it should be to gather superior forces to attack the enemy, from the information obtained so far, Yuan's army is attacking on all fronts, and every battalion has suffered a strong attack, although the momentum of such a fight is huge, but the actual effect is questionable, obviously the pocket that can be pierced with a sharp sword, why Chun Yuqiong switched to slapping it, and almost all the main generals of the Cao army have retreated, they are not unable to beat, But why retreat, Xiahou Yuan couldn't figure it out.
After listening to the movements of the various armies, Xun You showed an unfathomable smile at the moment: "Is Feng going to strike back?" ”
The reason why Cao Cao did not call someone to come to give the order was probably not to let Xiahou Yuan withdraw his army, thinking of this, Xun You smiled at Xiahou Yuan and said: "Miaocai, retreat!" ”
"Retreat there?"
"Chen Liu!" Xun You said lightly.
Xiahou Yuan didn't understand again: "Sir, Prime Minister, they retreated to Yangwu, why do we retreat to Chenliu?" ”
Xun You said: "The generals are good at running thousands of miles, the lord and they went to Yangwu to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, but your task is in Wuchao, withdraw, you will understand in the future, the battle of Guandu began in Baima and ended in Wuchao!" (To be continued.) )
