Chapter 520: Guan Yu Goes to Guanzhong
"What?" Guan Yu was taken aback: "What did you say?" Say it again? Mi Fang Jiang Jian wants to withdraw from Hangu Pass? How is this possible? It's a big joke, how dangerous Hangu Pass is, why did Mi Fang Jiang Yin withdraw? ”
"There is indeed such news from Hangu Pass."
"Message? Is it the news of Mi Fang and Jiang Yin? ”
"That's not it, a sergeant noticed the movement of the Hangu Pass defenders and felt suspicious, so he came to report to the general in advance."
"Hahahaha." Guan Yu looked up to the sky and laughed, stroking his long hair: "Huang Yueying, the yellow-haired girl is just like this, I think that if I send a few people to fake the military information, I Guan Mou will be fooled, I look down on Guan Mou, you go down to get the fifteenth army staff, and in the future, such rumors will not spread to the army." ”
"Ah...... General Guan spared his life. The sergeant was dragged down.
"The more the Sichuan army makes these tricks, the more they can't support it, and the whole army cheers up and fights with the Sichuan army to the end." Guan Yu lifted the Qinglong Glaive and shouted.
"Bloody battle to the end, bloody battle to the end." The three armies shouted in unison.
The battle lasted for two days, and another soldier from the rear came to report, saying that Mi Fang Jiang Jian had taken Cao Jun into the pass and marched to Chang'an, Guan Yu immediately ordered someone to drag the messenger down and behead him.
Guan Ping said worriedly: "Father, the soldiers come to report frequently, the child must have changed in the rear, since yesterday, the Sichuan army has stopped attacking, it seems that they also realize something, should we withdraw our troops back to Chang'an to see?" ”
"Withdrawing troops?" Guan Yu glared at Guan Ping: "Do you know how much pressure my brother is under in Xiliang now?" Every time we fought with the Sichuan army here, we would share the pressure on my brother and withdraw our troops. Joke. ”
"Then what if Cao Jun really enters the customs?"
"This is just Huang Yueying's strategy to disrupt the army's mind. How can I, Guan Yu, be fooled. ”
Another night passed. Guan Yu's sneak attack on the Sichuan army camp was frustrated, and while collecting troops and returning to the camp, he thought about the next offensive countermeasures, and when he arrived at the camp gate, he suddenly saw a large number of soldiers coming from Chang'an, as well as the families of the generals of the Liang army, all of whom came to report the news.
"Father, someone from Chang'an came to report that Cao Jun had passed through Hangu Pass. Straight into Chang'an, our home care home Zhu Jie also came, was personally sent by his mother Diao Chan, when Zhu Jie left Chang'an, Cao's army was already less than thirty miles away from Chang'an, and now I am afraid that Chang'an has been occupied. ”
Guan Ping hurriedly ran over, Guan Yu looked at him with a pair of Danfeng eyes, slowly lost his mind, staggered back a step, and Zhou Cang hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
"Mi Fang. Jiang Jian Pifu, colluding with Cao thief. harm my army, hate me. ”
Guan Ping stepped forward and whispered: "Father, Zhu Jie said that Cao Jun had sent Mi Fang's people to persuade the Chang'an guards to surrender, saying...... It was said that it was ordered by the lord to lead Cao Jun into the customs to resist Liu Zhang. ”
", impossible." Guan Yu said loudly: "You can believe this kind of nonsense, Cao thief, hijacking the Son of Heaven, mutilating the concubine, stealing the Han Sheji, my brother is the emperor of the imperial family, the descendant of the Han Queen, and he has been in the Zhongxing Han family for half his life, how can he be with Cao Cao."
I have been fighting with my brother for 20 years, and no one knows better than me and my third brother that my brother is a person, even if he dies, he will definitely not betray the Han Dynasty, this is just a trick of the Cao army, and the whole army will immediately reorganize and return to Chang'an with me. ”
Guan Yu reorganized an army of 20,000 and returned to Chang'an overnight, and the Sichuan army immediately occupied Yisai.
The Liang army arrived thirty miles outside Chang'an, and met the Cao army Xiahoudun Department who marched westward, Guan Yu and Xiahoudun had long had a suspicion, when he passed five passes and killed six generals, Guan Yu not only killed Xiahoudun's general Qin Qi, but also fought with Xiahoudun, plus Guan Yu received Cao Cao's special courtesy, Xiahoudun had long hated the root of his teeth.
As soon as the two sides met, they were killed together, Guan Yu's soldiers trained in the Lantian camp were the elite of the elite of the Liang army, plus the personal guard of 500 school swordsmen, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses rushed around all day, and the 20,000 troops of Xiahoudun were defeated.
If it weren't for Xiahou Yuan, who was stationed in Chang'an, to come to his aid in time, Xiahou Yuan would have to be beheaded by Guan Yu.
The Liang army of more than 10,000 tired soldiers, outnumbered, was defeated by Xiahoudun Xiahouyuan, Guan Yu led the army to the north, straight into Jingyang City, Xiahoudun led the Cao army to follow.
"Kill."
Cao's army poured into Jingyang City, Guan Yu's army had not yet gained a firm foothold, the soldiers were tired and were constantly strangled, Guan Yu was broken and retreated, escaped for three hundred miles, and was surrounded by Mumapo outside Wugong City, Guan Yu's soldiers around him were less than three thousand, running around for three days and three nights, exhausted, and the military food was cut off.
"The whole army goes up the mountain, and whoever beheads the feathers will be rewarded with a thousand gold." Xiahoudun hated Guan Yu for being courteous to Cao Cao, hated Guan Yu's arrogance, hated Guan Yu for abandoning Cao Cao, who was so kind to him back then, and rode thousands of miles to join Liu Bei, leaving the Cao generals with no face.
In Xiahoudun's heart, Guan Yu is like an arrogant North Star, no matter how you look at it, now that Guan Yu has reached a dead end, Xiahoudun is eager to see Guan Yu's beheaded, in order to vent the hatred in his heart, and let out a bad anger that has been held in the hearts of Cao Jun's generals for several years.
"General." The deputy general hurriedly persuaded: "When we entered Hangu Pass, the prime minister confessed, and we must try our best to persuade Guan Yu to surrender, if we kill it directly, the prime minister will be angry." ”
"Still persuaded? Didn't persuade enough back then? gave him a beautiful woman, gave him a BMW, and gave him a marquis, the prime minister did all the courtesy, but what did he get in exchange? In exchange for five passes and six generals, in exchange for Guan Yu to garrison Chang'an, our army was forced to garrison heavy troops in Nanyang Heluo, isn't it enough to persuade you? ”
"Because of this, the prime minister appreciates Guan Yu's talent and loyalty, today is different from the past, the last general feels that Guan Yu is very likely to surrender our army, first, this switch order is given by Liu Bei, we have Liu Bei's handwritten order, we enter Chang'an, not by force.
Second, we don't have to directly persuade Guan Yu to surrender, just say that we will fight together, now that Liu Bei is surrounded by the Sichuan army in Xiliang, Liu Zhang will never let go of Liu Bei's henchman, I think Liu Bei is dead, as long as Liu Bei dies, how can Guan Yu not surrender to us?
With these two points, coupled with the fact that Guan Yu's beloved wife Diao Chan is still in our hands, Guan Yu is in a desperate situation, and Guan Yu should surrender if it is reasonable and righteous, and we will send the generals of the Liang Army to persuade us, and we will succeed immediately. ”
"Hmph, I don't want to persuade him."
The adjutant general bowed and said, "General, the last general knows that the general doesn't like Guan Yu as a person, but the last general and others are not like this." But Guan Yu is indeed a talented person. The three armies of the brave crown are inappropriate. Brave and strategic, proficient in the art of war, such a person is a great help to the prime minister, please think twice. ”
Xiahoudun was silent for a long time and said: "Okay, okay, this guy is lucky, I, Xiahoudun, can't get used to him, if it weren't for the prime minister's great cause, I would never talk to him." ”
Xiahoudun called Mi Fang Jiang Yin. As if facing his own deployment, he said coldly: "You two, who will persuade Guan Yu to surrender?" ”
Mi Fang was silent, and Jiang Jian immediately bowed: "The last general is willing to go." ”
After Jiang Jian was explained by Xiahoudun, he went up the mountain excitedly, Mi Fang glanced at Jiang Jian coldly from behind, disdainful in his heart, didn't he just vote for the new master and wanted to make meritorious contributions? Let it be given to you.
Jiang Yin has not been serving Liu Bei for a long time, and he still doesn't know Guan Yu, but Mi Fang is very clear. Just based on Xiahoudun's words, it would be good not to anger Guan Yu. can also make Guan Yu surrender, ridiculous.
…………
When Guan Yu saw the edict written by Liu Bei himself, he was stunned in the local area, Jiang Jian saw Guan Yu's expression, thought that there was a play, and immediately impassionedly presented it, what wife Diao Chan is in the hands of Cao Jun, what Liu Bei intends to unite Cao Jun, Guan Yu and Liu Bei should be brothers.
It is also said that Guan Yu surrendered to Cao Cao, not to surrender, but to fight side by side, and the Liang army and Cao Jun fought side by side to resist the tyrant Liu Zhang.
Guan Yu slowly clenched his fists, tightened the book, and saw Liu Bei's handwriting, Guan Yu's heart had fallen to the valley, no matter what the reason, Liu Bei and Liang Jun were both based on Kuang Fu Sheji, how could they unite Cao Jun?
Guan Yu still remembers Liu Bei's anxious expression after receiving Liu Xie's edict and his anxiety all night, as well as Liu Bei's repeated defeats and never forgetting the mind of the Zhongxing Han family.
Guan Yu always thought that his brother would rather die than betray the Han family.
Guan Yu and the third brother Zhang Fei have different feelings for Liu Bei, Zhang Fei is basically blindly obedient to Liu Bei, even if Liu Bei kills Liu Xie, Zhang Fei feels that he deserves to be killed.
And Guan Yu has always been eaten because of Liu Bei's ambition, mind, and indomitable will, so following him and following him himself is to see the day when the Han Dynasty rebuilds the day.
This handwritten letter from Liu Bei shattered Guan Yu's twenty years of faith, and the image of the brother in his heart who was always moody, persevering, and sad for the Han family became more and more blurred.
What Guan Yu couldn't stand was how Liu Bei could unite with Cao Cao, and Jiang Jian was still talking about Guan Yu's surrender to Cao Cao, fighting side by side with Cao Jun, the anger in his heart rose little by little, his disappointment in his brother, and his hatred for Cao Jun were all condensed on Jiang Jian.
With a sound of "bang", Guan Yu tore up the handwriting, lifted the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand, and slashed at Jiang Yin, who was happy, before he could react, his head flew into the air, his body stood in place, and his flat neck spurted blood one by one.
"The whole army will reorganize the army and fight to the death with the Cao army."
Guan Yu carried the Qinglong Yanyue knife, stepped on the red rabbit horse for thousands of miles, led Zhou Cang, Guan Ping, Guan Xing, and Guan Suo to swoop down to the Cao army under the mountain, Xiahou Tang surrounded the Muma Slope, and was torn out of a hole by Guan Yu Shengsheng, and fought out of the encirclement, straight into Wugong City, Xiahou Tang ordered a quick pursuit.
…………
"Report, report to the military division, Cao Jun pursued Guan Yu and approached in the direction of martial arts."
Huang Yueying led tens of thousands of troops to march east from Yisai, and the letter soldiers came urgently to report.
"Got it." Huang Yueying waved her hand.
…………
Guan Yu entered Wugong City, Cao Jun killed, torches surged in the dark, the sound of killing shook the sky, the soldiers of the Liang Army rushed for several days, non-stop, and fought repeatedly, and they were no longer able to fight.
After the battle of Mumapo, there were less than 400 people left around Guan Yu, all of whom were elite swordsmen who had followed him for many years, Zhou Cang, Guan Ping, Guan Xing, and Guan Suo were all injured, and Guan Yu, the god of war, had reached a dead end.
"Father, Cao Jun is here again, let's go quickly."
"Go, where can you go now?"
Guan Yu was lonely in his heart, now Liu Bei is far away in Xiliang, he is trapped in Guanzhong, the front is Cao Jun, and the rear is the Sichuan Army, where can he go?
And even if Liu Bei is close at hand, can he go calmly?
Liu Bei's military order was not passed through himself, and was directly passed to Mi Fang Jiang Yin, how could Guan Yu not understand, his brother understands himself, his brother is determined to unite with Cao Thief, and he knows that he does not agree, so he simply does not wait for his consent.
How could Guan Yu, who was well versed in strategy, not understand that Liu Bei led Cao Jun into the pass in order to contain Liu Zhang, in order to get Xiliang's respite.
But for this respite, Liu Bei not only betrayed his ideals, but also betrayed his brother's righteousness, and he fell to this point, how could Guan Yu convince himself that it had nothing to do with Liu Bei.
Betraying ideals, betraying the Han family, betraying his brother, the former tenacious and unyielding brother is already an unfaithful and unrighteous person, can he still fight side by side with him?
Guan Yu knows that his brother has been running for 20 years, and because of his background, the road to realizing his ambition is difficult and bumpy, and he has experienced hardships in the past 20 years.
The family business of the Liang army is not as easy as that of Xuzhou, Xuzhou is not easy, and the strength is not strong, but the two states of Yongliang are beaten down by a penny, and when the power is at its peak, the elder brother has an army of 300,000 and dominates one side.
But who would have thought that Liu Zhang led the Northern Expedition of the Sichuan Army, Liu Bei was defeated again and again, and finally fell into the situation he is in today.
The higher he stands, the more painful it is to fall, Liu Bei, who has reached such a peak, is slowly getting older, how can he still endure starting over? What's more, if the situation of secession has been decided today, there is no room for Liu Bei to start from scratch.
Anyone else would be crushed by this kind of blow and do anything, so my brother did not hesitate to collude with the Cao thief.
But in Guan Yu's heart, in the face of loyalty, there is no excuse, as long as he betrays loyalty, he is the most unforgivable.
And now that this person who betrayed loyalty turned out to be his brother, how could Guan Yu not be heartbroken.
"Don't go, run around for four days and four nights in a row, people are not tired and horses are tired, let my red rabbit horse rest."
Guan Yu said, Guan Ping was depressed, and suddenly Guan Xing's eyes widened and said, "Father, it's better for us to fight martial arts and serve the Sichuan army." ”
"What did you say?" Guan Yu stared at Guan Xing.
"I just think that listening to my sister, Liu Zhang doesn't seem to be so bad, not to mention that my sister is also over there...... Oh, father, my son will die with you in battle. ”
couldn't stand Guan Yu's eyes, Guan Xing became quieter and quieter the more he spoke, and he wilted all of a sudden.
"Ugh." Guan Yu let out a sigh: "Everyone in the world is rumored that Liu Zhang is inferior, but Ping'er will not deceive people, Liu Zhang is also a king with ideals and ambitions, if you want to vote for it, it is not impossible." ”
"Really, father, let's go out of the city at once and go to Yisai." Guan Xing Guan Suo obviously flashed with joy, they were not afraid of death, but they didn't want to die like this.
Guan Ping was silent and did not speak.
Guan Yu remembered what Guan Yinping said at the beginning, Liu Zhang dealt with the Shi clan, but he was very good to the people, and the people of Jingyi lived and worked in peace and contentment under his governance, and the people's hearts were stable.
For the sake of the people at the bottom, dare to go against the world, this pride, even Guan Yu has to admire. (To be continued......)
