Chapter 1407: Food and Grass Sent by the Enemy
Bowang Valley was besieged by the Han army, at first Zhang Fei and Guan Yu just couldn't return the same way, not even half a day, the Han army led by Xiahoudun also advanced to the valley, the valley mouth was blocked tightly.
Both sides of the valley were sealed by the Han army, and the Jingzhou army led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei was completely wiped out even the last bit of hope of breaking through.
When the Jingzhou army came to Bowang, they had no intention of fighting for a long time.
Their original expectation was just to introduce the Han army into the valley, and Guan Yu led the army to push down the rolling wood from the top of the valley, put a fire, and burn the Han army to charred corpses.
The Han army did not chase into the valley as Zhuge Liang expected, and fought with the Jingzhou cavalry under Zhang Fei's department, but sealed both sides of the valley.
The Jingzhou army failed to break through, and if it held the valley to the death, it would not take long for it to face the dilemma of cutting off grain and grass.
Seeing that the grain and grass were about to run out, Guan Yu was thinking about how to break out of the encirclement of the Han army, when a personal soldier ran towards him quickly.
"General Qiyu, the enemy is coming!" When he arrived in front of Guan Yu, the soldier clasped his fists and said to him: "The person who came seems to want to send grain and grass to our army!" ”
"The enemy has brought food and grass to our army?" Stunned for a moment, Guan Yu looked at the pro-soldier, frowned slightly, and asked him, "Who is here?" ”
"The person who came seems to be named Li Dian!" Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the soldiers responded: "It is said that it is on the order of the enemy's commander Xiahoudun to send some corn to our army!" ”
The situation reported by the soldiers made Guan Yu full of puzzlement.
I don't understand what the Han army wants to do, and Guan Yu doesn't want to think about it, anyway, when he sees Li Dian, things will become clear as soon as he sees them.
Furrowed his brows, waved his hand at the pro-soldier, and instructed him: "Invite Li Dian here!" ”
Unconsciously, Guan Yu used a word of invitation, instead of asking his own soldiers to bring Li Dian.
Besieged in the mountains, the soldiers of the Jingzhou army were already facing the dilemma of cutting off grain and grass, Li Dian sent them grain and grass, although it was the enemy army, Guan Yu was not easy to support.
The soldiers turned around and left, and it didn't take long for him to lead a Han army general to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu was captured by Cao Cao that year, and Li Dian can be regarded as knowledgeable.
Seeing that it was really Li Dian, Guan Yu first frowned slightly, and then his expression returned to normal, and asked coldly: "What is Man Cheng doing here?" ”
"General Guan!" didn't answer Guan Yu immediately, Li Dian arched at him with his fists, and said with a smile: "Say goodbye to the general, it's been a few years, and the general is okay?" ”
"Lauman Cheng Ji hangs!" Clasped his hands into fists, and gave Li Dian a salute very impatiently, Guan Yu asked again: "What is Man Cheng doing here?" ”
"Is the general short of food?" Putting down the fists he had picked up, Li Dian smiled slightly, and asked Guan Yu a question that he didn't want to mention the most.
"What about the lack of food, and what about the lack of food?" Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, Guan Yu stared at Li Dian and said: "The two armies are fighting, even if we have no food, we will definitely not surrender to you!" ”
"The general's temperament, the last general already knows!" A faint smile appeared on his face, and Li Dian said to Guan Yu: "General Xiahou also remembered the friendship with the general back then, and specially ordered the last general to come and borrow food from the general!" ”
"You and I are fighting between the two armies, and you are waiting to borrow food from our army, are you not afraid that our army will go down the mountain and eat the grain and grass sent by you, but kill you and other soldiers under your command?" Looking at Li Dian suspiciously, Guan Yu finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
Shaking his head with a smile, Li Dian seemed to care about this matter at all, and said to Guan Yu: "Don't hide it from the general, our army has already surrounded Bowang like a bucket, even if half of the military rations are sent to the general, it will be difficult for the general to break through and leave!" ”
"In that case, what can I do if I ask you to borrow the grain and grass?" Qiang pulled up a smile, Guan Yu said to Li Dian: "General, go back, inform General Xiahou that General Xinben has received it." But if he wants to use grain and grass to attract a certain class, the certain class will not be willing! ”
"The general and Liu Xuande are brothers with different surnames!" didn't listen to Guan Yu's words and turned away, Li Dian said to him instead: "Liu Xuande was defeated, and now he is nowhere to be found, and the general ......"
"Mancheng!" Before Li Dian finished speaking, Guan Yu interrupted him and said in a cold voice: "General Xiahou borrowed grain, and I was grateful in my heart. But if you want to provoke some kind of brotherhood with grain and grass, don't blame someone for being ruthless! ”
"General Guan may have thought badly!" Smiling slightly, Li Dian shook his head and said, "General Xiahou just wants the last general to inform the general, expecting Liu Xuande to lead the troops to rescue, I'm afraid it will take some time." The general did not have much grain and grass, and our army was willing to borrow some from the general, and when Liu Xuande came to help, it would not be too late for the general to try to break through. Before that, General Xiahou refused to watch the general starve to death! ”
Frowning tightly and staring at Li Dian, Guan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Xiahoudun ordered Li Dian to come and lend him grain and grass, and Guan Yu guessed that Xiahoudun might want to recruit him on behalf of Liu Wei.
With this thought in his heart, he was somewhat vigilant about Li Dian's visit, and of course he was unwilling to accept Xiahoudun's gift lightly.
Staring at Li Dian, Guan Yu didn't say anything, just silently waited for him to continue.
Seeing that Guan Yu didn't say anything, Li Dian said: "The general's loyalty and righteousness are known to the world, don't say that General Xiahou, even if we wait, I am very grateful." As a generation of brave generals, he can die on the battlefield, and if he is starved to death because he is starved to death because of the lack of food and grass, even if I become hostile, I will definitely not see it. ”
Although Guan Yu said that compared with Xiahoudun and others, Wu Yong can only be regarded as ordinary, but he is extremely loyal, Li Dian said this, he will believe it a little.
Staring at Li Dian, Guan Yu hesitated for a moment before asking him: "Since Man Cheng sent grain and grass to our army, did he also send grain and grass to the third brother?" ”
"Leaving from the general's place, the last general is going to General Zhang's camp!" Straightening his waist, Li Dian said to Guan Yu: "General Zhang has a fiery temper, and it is not yet known whether he will be willing to accept the food borrowed by us, but the general can write a letter, and the last general will take it to General Zhang, so that he can believe that General Xiahou is sincere!" ”
Already believing in Li Dian a little more, Guan Yu lowered his eyelids, groaned a little, and then nodded and said: "That is the case, Mancheng is less treated, and he will write a letter here!" ”
First responded to Li Dian, Guan Yu turned his head and said to a personal soldier behind him: "Go and find pen and ink!" ”
"No!" The soldier bowed with his fists and turned to leave.
Guan Yu led the army to fight, and always loved to carry a copy of "Spring and Autumn"
This "Spring and Autumn", because he has been reading it all year round, has long been dilapidated.
Often accompanied by "Spring and Autumn", there is also the pen and ink he used to make notes when he reads books.
Not long after the soldiers left, they brought pen and ink for him.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Guan Yu thought for a moment before writing some atmospheric handwriting on a silk silk spread out on his lap.
Quickly wrote dozens of small seal characters, Guan Yu folded the silk silk full of handwriting, held it in both hands and handed it to Li Dian and said: "This is a letter written by a certain person to the third brother, the general can hold on to meet the third brother, he will be convinced by the general!" ”
thanked Guan Yu, took the silk with both hands, and Li Dian beckoned behind him.
Li Dian was followed up the mountain, not only by the Han army escorted, but also by twenty or thirty carts full of grain and grass.
Li Dian beckoned, and a Han soldier who followed him clasped his hands into fists, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
The soldiers of the Han army didn't greet Guan Yu at all, and walked towards the mountain road, which made Guan Yu's heart full of unhappiness.
He was unhappy in his heart, but the Han army must have come to lend him grain and grass, and he didn't have to say anything, so he had to stare at the back of the Han army getting farther and farther away.
The soldiers of the Han army, who had received Li Dian's order, walked quickly to the intersection of the top of the mountain.
Along the way, many Jingzhou soldiers and soldiers set their eyes on him.
As hostile to the Han army, without Guan Yu's order, the soldiers of the Jingzhou army could only watch the Han army arrive at the intersection of the mountaintop.
Standing at the intersection, the Han soldiers waved their arms a few times towards the bottom of the mountain.
Dozens of carts loaded with grain and grass that had been waiting for orders for a long time saw the waving arms of the Han soldiers on the top of the mountain, and the royal hands urged the horses pulling the carts to march towards the mountain.
Li Dian went up the mountain and sent grain and grass to Guan Yu, and in Sima Yi's barracks, Yu Ban and Sima Yi sat in the tent, discussing when to launch an attack on the Jingzhou army and how to deliberately make way for the Jingzhou army.
Yu Ban was still a little puzzled by Sima Yi's move to send grain, knelt opposite him, and asked suspiciously: "Our army has trapped Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but Zhong Da ordered to send them grain and grass. ”
"The general may feel that if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are trapped in the mountains, it will not take long for them to be cut off from food and grass, and the soldiers will not be able to fight!" With a smile on his face, Sima Yi seemed to be very confident and said: "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are also fierce generals in the world, and now His Majesty is probably bent on recruiting, but he can't bear to kill them." This is exactly what His Majesty thinks! ”
Sima Yi lifted Liu Wei out, and Yu Ban was speechless, so he had to sigh softly.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have followed Liu Bei for many years, and Cao Cao also captured Guan Yu back then, but Guan Yu was bent on returning to Cao Cao.
Yu Ban didn't believe that Liu Bei was so loyal, just with some grain and grass, he could recruit these two people to Liu Wei's account.
The words were on his lips, but Yu Ban never said them.
Staring at Sima Yi, he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and a moment later, there was another long sigh.
"The general feels that even if he sends grain and grass, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are categorically unwilling to give up Liu Bei?" From Yu Ban's expression, Sima Yi had already seen some clues, smiled slightly, and asked him a question.
Nodding, Yu Ban said with a little uncertainty on his face: "What Zhong Da thinks in his heart is reasonable, I'm just worried that those grains and grass will be sent out, I'm afraid it won't have much effect!" ”
