Zhang Fei saw that Guan Yu was really angry, and he was scolded twice in a row, Zhang Fei really couldn't stand it, and immediately threw off his sleeves and walked away, Guan Yu shook his head helplessly when he saw this, it stands to reason that because he was drunk too much, he lost an important pass, and he should be beheaded according to military law! Zhang Fei should be beheaded, but Guan Yu just scolded him, in Guan Yu's opinion, this may be the best way to solve Zhang Fei, although Zhang Fei made a mistake, but this is all caused by his living habits, he is still loyal to himself, and he is his brother who swears to live and die, and another point is that Zhang Fei is a rare general, how can Guan Yu be willing to slaughter him! Although Guan Yu was so angry, his lungs were about to explode.

When Zhang Fei finished leaving, Guan Yu's heart calmed down a little, and he couldn't help but think: Zhang Fei was drunk and the tiger prison Guan Chengchi was indestructible, Cao Cao was able to overcome such an important pass in such a short time, which really made him a little incredible, it seems that this Cao Cao is progressing very fast, and it is no longer the Cao Apu he used to be, Shibei should be impressed for three days, and Guan Yu has always attached great importance to Cao Cao, in his opinion, this is an important opponent of himself, after all, this is also a generation of heroes.

Originally, Guan Yu returned to Luoyang to start doing a few things, just like he planned to do when he went west, to start collecting money, to start appointing and dismissing personnel to develop the economy, to establish military rules and regulations, and to start to implement the streamlining of the army. The top priority is to remove the threat of Luoyang first, Guan Yu himself also pondered that he would not have idle time, just after the end of the Western Expedition and then the war came, fortunately, he was young, or he was tired to death, and the military situation was urgent, Guan Yu couldn't take care of the fatigue along the way, and immediately held a military meeting. Everyone came one after another, what right Zhonglang general Zhu Jun, imperial uncle Liu Bei, Pingdong general Wen Ping, general Xu Huang, including Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Pang De all participated, of course, including Zhang Fei, Guan Yu first reported the enemy situation, and then let everyone express their opinions.

Imperial uncle Liu Bei first said: "The matter has become so urgent, the responsibility lies with me, I only care about accompanying the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, but I don't pay attention to the affairs in the east, and wait for me to receive Yide's distress letter." They began to prepare to send troops, and when the troops marched, they found that the Tiger Prison Pass had been breached, and all the sergeants fled. Blame me! There is also Bishui Pass, Li Su defected to the enemy, and I didn't find out! Liu Bei kept beating his chest as he spoke.

After hearing this, Guan Yu persuaded: "Big brother doesn't have to blame himself! There is a reason for the problem, and the top priority now is to solve the problem and not be too responsible! ”

Zhu Jun then spoke: "The current situation is that the three-way army is attacking us, and it seems that it has been premeditated for a long time, so we must also implement various methods to deal with them!" ”

After hearing this, Liu Bei adjusted his mood and said: "The soldiers will block the water and flood the earth, and the most urgent thing at present is that the two passes of Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass are lost. At present, it is necessary to avoid the combination of troops in two places, and to adopt the method of dividing and attacking, Bishui Pass is taken by Yuan Shao, I have a plan to distract Yuan Shao and force Yuan Shao to retreat! ”

"Big brother, come quickly!" Guan Yu said.

Liu Bei then said: "Yuan Shao is resourceful and indecisive, this attack on Luoyang must have been bewitched by Cao Cao, the previous time he attacked Cao Cao for my use, and this time he attacked us in turn, which shows that this person has no claim." Yuan Shao's army marched westward to Hebei, which was definitely empty, and Gongsun Zhan, who was entrenched in Beiping, had the ambition of stationing troops for Yuan Shao. And Gongsun Chan has a good relationship with me, when this opportunity I only need to repair a letter to Gongsun Chan and ask him to give Yuan Shao a knife from behind, Yuan Shao will inevitably be in chaos and have no intention of attacking Luoyang! ”

Guan Yu stroked his beard after hearing this: "Yuan Shao is hesitant and his advisers are proficient, how can it be okay for such a large army to go south and rear?" What's more, Beiping is far away from Luoyang, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to quench my thirst in the far water for several days! ”

Liu Bei continued: "Yuan Shao IV and the third duke, often regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. He is still loyal to the Han family, and this time he has been bewitched, of course we can also bewitch him! The Son of Heaven is in my place, so I can let the Son of Heaven come forward to force Yuan Shao to withdraw from the army, and Yuan Shao will see the Son of Heaven. How can you disobey the decree of the Son of Heaven? Even if you don't comply, you won't use force easily! ”

"That's a good idea! That's exactly what I want! To deal with Yuan Shao, you have to come up with such a method, stabilize Yuan Shao, I should try my best to crusade against Cao Cao, Cao Cao is a traitorous male who has always been ambitious and very assertive, when this situation he will not easily retreat, I should personally go out to fight with him to recapture the Tiger Prison Pass, as for Yuan Shu and the like are just watching the excitement, if these two sides win he will send troops to grab the fruit, if he is defeated, he will naturally retreat, as for Han Sui! This also needs to be persuaded by Lord Ma, Lord Ma and Han Sui are friends of eight worships, if Lord Ma comes forward to coordinate, I expect Han Sui to stabilize, it is really not possible to show that Zhang Yang can withstand Hongnong, so it can be solved by going to the siege on all sides! Guan Yu said to everyone.

"General Guan's good idea!" "General Guan is really a clever plan!" "With General Guan, don't say that the siege on all sides is not afraid of the enemy on all sides," everyone said after hearing this.

Guan Yu waved his hand to everyone and motioned for everyone to stop, and then decided: "The matter is urgent!" Follow my instructions, let's do it as soon as possible, and there is no mistake! After Guan Yu finished speaking, everyone went separately

Guan Yu didn't care about resting and immediately found Zhang Fei, Wen Ping, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, and Pang De from Luoyang to order 100,000 troops, the army began to assemble, and prepared grain and grass to prepare for a-for-tat contest with Cao Cao, as a powerful faction Guan Yu has a great advantage in terms of soldiers, grain and grass and even money, Guan Yu not only inherited Dong Zhuo's previous soldiers and horses but also further developed and grew a lot, so many years of army management made his soldiers relatively good, and his individual combat ability was extremely strong, especially in the westward expedition to achieve specialization, The overall strength of the team has been significantly enhanced.

But it was said that Cao Cao learned that Guan Yu had returned to Luoyang like thunder, his face immediately showed sadness, and the previous joy was swept away, to say that the only person in this world who can make Cao Cao feel frightened except Guan Yu has no second person, this kid is really amazing, needless to say that close contact with Cao Cao can personally feel the pressure brought by Guan Yu, several times the experience has allowed Cao Cao to really understand the power of this young man who is six years younger than himself, and his strength is amazing and unrivaled; He was resourceful and resourceful; He has great courage, dares to wade into danger, and dares to be the first; He pursues excellence and keeps improving; He is good at uniting and encircling his subordinates in Guan Yu's body, Cao Cao deeply understands the quality of being a king in all aspects, because he also wants to be a king, and Guan Yu's appearance makes him realize the existence of an opponent who is stronger than himself.

If Guan Yu does not come back at this time, Cao Cao will attack Luoyang with confidence, just like he did when he won the Tiger Prison Pass before. However, when Guan Yu returned, this news made him suddenly confused and unable to see hope, although the situation in front of him was so smooth, and Yuan Shao also obtained the Bishui Pass, Yuan Shu and Han Sui raised troops one after another, such a favorable situation He saw the misfortune in the future. Deeply aware of the uncertainty of the future, just because of the appearance of Guan Yu, everything has changed, although there has not yet been a war, but Cao Cao has deeply felt this crisis, Guan Yu's opponent is really too strong, he only took four months to conquer the west, and it is a miracle that he recovered so many places in four months, this Guan Yu is really getting more and more amazing.

Although Cao Cao was a little more confused, he did not retreat because of this, let alone give up the Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Cao had already calculated early on that he and Guan Yu would have a decisive battle sooner or later, but he didn't expect this decisive battle to come so happily. If you win this decisive battle, you can control the entire Luoyang control Luoyang is equivalent to winning half of the country, once the imperial capital is controlled for yourself, you can also do "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes" then your future advantages are self-evident, so how can Cao Cao give up, the battle of Luoyang can be said to be a decisive battle, it is a decisive battle between himself and Guan Yu. It's a decisive battle for the future, so it's impossible for anyone to back down.

Cao Cao is still relatively confident in his current strength. At least now he can compete with Guan Yu alone, this is his biggest progress, this time he has gathered so many strategists and brave generals at once, and there are also a lot of new weapons, he wants to let Guan Yu know that Guan Yu knows that he is powerful, although he Guan Yu is very strong, but his subordinates have anyone who can do it in addition to himself? When Cao Cao learned that Yuan Shao's army easily captured Bishui Pass, he was really envious, jealous and hateful! It took a lot of effort to win the Tiger Prison Pass. He Yuan Shao actually won the Bishui Pass without a single soldier, and also got 20,000 horses from Li Su, Cao Cao not only did not have it, but also spent a lot of men and horses, and there was a lot of difference inside and outside, this time Cao Cao was ready to let Yuan Shao take the lead in his palace, once the war started, he could still save some strength.

Cao Cao immediately sent a letter to Yuan Shao. Invite him to get ready and hurry up to Luoyang, taking advantage of Guan Yu's heel to just come back from the western expedition and not yet stand firm and quickly send troops to the decisive battle, saying that this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to seize the imperial capital At this time, Yuan Shao immediately received Cao Cao's confidence in Dayue, this time Yuan Shao picked up a big bargain and actually got a Bishui Pass for nothing, and harvested so many people and horses, he was very happy, he was originally a man who saw small profits and forgot the righteousness, how could such a big benefit make Yuan Shao not cheer, this time Cao Cao asked him to hurry up to Luoyang, Yuan Shao is happy! I thought: "Could it be that the whole world knows that I am Yuan Shao's power, and I surrender everywhere I go, and if I don't hurry up to give up Luoyang to me, when will I stay?" ”

Yuan Shao thought that others were as afraid of his might as Li Su, and at this time Cao Cao came to a complimenting letter to Yuan Shao for easily winning the Bishui Pass, saying that he couldn't compare with him no matter what, and he barely took the Tiger Pass with a lot of effort, which was time-consuming and laborious, and he occupied the Bishui Pass without a single soldier, and the same army was far worse than him, which fully shows that he has a big gap with him, Or is he powerful, the world looks at the wind and descends! said that if he took this opportunity to press the troops under Luoyang City, how could Luoyang not be in his pocket, even His Majesty the Son of Heaven would have to summon him into the city and drive Guan Yu out of Luoyang!

Cao Cao gave Yuan Shao a compliment in the letter, Yuan Shao was simply carried away after reading it, Yuan Shao immediately convened everyone to discuss the matter of entering the army, and the strategists were quickly summoned together, and the strategists were frustrated and admonished: "This is Cao Cao's plan, don't be fooled, he wants to use the lord, let the lord play the forward, in order to reap the benefits of the fisherman!" ”

Yuan Shao said disdainfully after hearing this: "Wouldn't it be better if we didn't use my army to use force in Luoyang to bow down and be a vassal, then wouldn't we just be the first to get there?" ”

Strategist Tian Feng retorted: "My lord, what are you dreaming of! Guan Yu is comparable to a person like Li Su, even if the lord surrenders, he will not surrender, not to mention that his strength is above the lord! ”

Yuan Shao was really angry when he heard this: "Tian Fengru has repeatedly poked my sharpness, and it is really disrespectful to belittle me!" The army has not moved, and you have made such unfavorable remarks, which is really demoralizing to us. Someone! Put Tian Feng in prison for me, and then settle accounts with him when I win! ”

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he saw that the two sergeants immediately set up Tian Feng, and Tian Feng shouted while breaking free: "If the lord doesn't believe me, I will suffer this calamity!" Lord! Lord! ”

Yuan Shao saw that Tian Feng was still obsessed and waved his hand to the sergeant and quickly pulled him down, this Tian Feng is upright and often just and outspoken, Yuan Shao has long been tired of him, this time Yuan Shao finally couldn't help it, and put Tian Feng in prison. Seeing this, the strategist continued to say: "The lord's army is overwhelming, no one is invincible, take this opportunity to force the Son of Heaven to surrender to Luoyang City, let the Son of Heaven arrest Guan Yu, and promote the Luoyang coup!" ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this: "This plan is very good! Just what I wanted! With my Yuan Shao's background and prestige, how can he, Guan Yu, a rebel and thief, be compared? I think there are definitely more people in Luoyang who support me Yuan Shao than Guan Yu! As long as I shout at Luoyang like this, I will have to mess up, and it will be very difficult for him Guan Yu to clean it up when he wants to! With my connections in Luoyang, how can he be compared to Guan Yu? ”

Strategist Guo Tulian Lian echoed: "What the lord said is reasonable! The fourth and third princes of the lord Endebu Yuxia, are his connections in Luoyang not as good as a hairy boy? ”

Yuan Shao said excitedly after hearing this: "The current situation is very good, my 100,000 troops are advancing into Luoyang, this is not a forced palace, right?" ”

The strategist Xu Youjin admonished: "No matter how Cao Cao calculates, forcing the palace is a clear path now in front of the lord, and the lord can plan this way, if the lord wants to promote the Luoyang coup d'état, he should first write a letter to His Majesty the Son of Heaven." State the reason, as the saying goes, the first salute and then the soldier, the lord first and the Son of Heaven to make a report to show their sincerity, more able to win the trust of the Son of Heaven, although His Majesty is young and intelligent, for some political affairs also know a lot, the Lord to the Son of Heaven to make clear the intention, but also to force the palace from beginning to end with His Majesty to explain. list all the bad things about Guan Yu one by one, and especially point out Guan Yu's intentions or side plots. List Guan Yu's various crimes, the heavier the better, especially to mention that this kid has no good background, he has followed Dong Zhuo for so many years and done all kinds of bad things, and especially mentioned that this kid has the ambition to kill Dong Zhuo, how can such a betrayer be loyal to His Majesty? Then the lord justifiably revealed that the reason for his army was to suppress the thieves of King Qin, so that the lord forced the palace to be justified. Even if His Majesty is young and can't figure it out, some of the big people in the court are clearly ruthless, especially a group of people who are dissatisfied with Guan Yu's previous changes, Guan Yu has offended a lot of people except for a monk in Luoyang, I think these people will definitely support the lord! ”

Xu You's analysis made Yuan Shao's eyes light up suddenly. Yuan Shao nodded frequently, and when Xu You finished speaking, Yuan Shao immediately clapped his hand and said: "Just do as you say, and immediately let Chen Lin draft a letter to Luoyang!" This is the first time in Yuan Shao's life that he is so happy.

Just when Yuan Shao ordered Chen Lin to draft the letter, a letter sent by Luoyang was also sent to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was not surprised, immediately opened the letter, and was shocked when he saw that it didn't matter, although the content of the letter on the cover of the letter made him really surprised, although the letter was not from the hand of the Son of Heaven, the pen of the letter was stamped with the seal of the Son of Heaven, it was obvious that the letter was agreed by the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven agreed to be drafted by others as if it were a handwritten letter! The meaning of the letter is also very clear, reading that he is a loyal minister, this time the army must be instructed by someone, I hope he will withdraw the army quickly, the Son of Heaven will not be to blame for the past, otherwise he should be punished by forcing the palace.

After reading the letter, Yuan Shao's heart was full of flavors, the previous excitement was swept away, and the mood suddenly became complicated, Yuan Shao had no idea for a while, so he once again summoned the strategists to a place to discuss again, he read the letter from Luoyang and the strategists, and the strategist Guo Tu finished reading and said: "This must be someone who bewitched His Majesty to make His Majesty obey, the purpose is to let the lord withdraw from the army, it must be done by Guan Yu!" The current situation is very unfavorable to him, he is a soldier who surrenders without a fight, and the lord should not care about him! ”

The strategist Feng Ji retorted: "If the lord does not follow what he says in the letter, he will be rebellious and raise an unrighteous soldier, because the letter has already been paid by the Son of Heaven, and if he does not follow the execution, he will be rebellious!" ”

"Now that the army is in its ascendancy, how can it be abandoned by a letter? And isn't the lord's army just a crusade against Guan Yu! The Son of Heaven is young and doesn't know what to do, so the lord doesn't have to care about him, although he acts according to the plan! The strategist Xu Yu retorted again.

The strategists argued again, Yuan Shao had no idea for a while, the march was an offense to the holy will, and the retreat could not bear this good situation, Yuan Shao was a little hesitant, and the strategists argued, at this time Xu Yu strongly recommended: "The lord can be like this, don't be busy with the army first, send the letter first, and try the situation!" ”

Yuan Shao stroked his beard and paced, and reluctantly said, "Hmm! Let's decide so! (To be continued......)
