Chapter 128 is approaching the Bishui Pass

However, through this dialogue with Dong Zhuo, Guan Yu also began to feel a little uneasy, as a capable general who has assisted Dong Zhuo in the past ten years and has made great achievements, as long as he is not careful, he will become a prisoner, and his future is in jeopardy, because now his own power has posed a serious threat to Dong Zhuo's rule, the reason why Dong Zhuo still keeps himself is because he still has to rely on himself, otherwise he would have been assigned a long time ago, if the war he said did not come, Dong Zhuo would have to do it to himself, and his fate may be very sad. So as long as he defeats the Kwantung Army, he has to figure out how to deal with Dong Zhuo, Guan Yu is determined to betray Dong Zhuo this time.

However, Guan Yu thought about it for a while, if the truth really went as he said, the army repelled the Kwantung Army, and his prestige in front of Dong Zhuo would naturally be even higher, Dong Zhuo might continue to use himself, or let himself continue to lead troops to conquer the Quartet, because if what he said came true, at least it could prove that he had absolutely no intention of betraying Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo would still respect himself like before, and the rest of the gossip and slander would also be self-defeating, and not only would he not be suspicious of Dong Zhuo at that time, On the contrary, Dong Zhuo will trust himself more and reject others, this kind of thing will only happen in these two possibilities, but either one must be based on whether the future war can happen

Guan Yu thinks about it, his head is big, this kind of psychological struggle based on power has always run through every link of his life, sometimes he feels that he is really tired of living, and even exhausted, but the more he is like this, the more he can stimulate his fighting spirit, hone his will, and strengthen his determination, ten years of hard work, Guan Yu has not only experienced various physical tests, his psychology is under tremendous pressure, but fortunately, he has the ability to predict and rely on his extraordinary wisdom, he is at ease in the officialdom, He can move freely, and he can turn evil into good fortune when he encounters occasional setbacks, but this is the most serious crisis, and it depends on whether his prediction can be realized.

Guan Yu and Dong Zhuo are preparing for the war, and at this time the Kwantung Army has approached the area of Bishui Pass, the guard of Bishui Pass is Zhang Ji and his nephew Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ji saw that the Kwantung Army sent his men to Luoyang at night to report the situation, and at the same time Zhang Xiu relied on the danger of Bishui Pass to resist the Kwantung Army, and the forward of the Kwantung Army was Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha. This Sun Jian (155-191), a native of Wentai, Han nationality, was a native of Fuchun, Wu County (now Fuyang, Hangzhou, Zhejiang). A local warlord at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and a famous general. He "has an extraordinary appearance, a wide forehead, a tiger body and a wolf waist, a broad sex, and a curious section", and is a descendant of the great military strategist Sun Wu. When he was 17 years old, he went to Qiantang with his father and saw more than 10 pirates, robbed merchants' property, and shared the spoils on the shore. insisted that his father said: "This thief can be caught." Then he struggled to carry his sword ashore, and shouted loudly, commanding things and things, as if calling people. The thieves thought that the officers and soldiers were coming, so they abandoned their belongings and ran away. Catch up and kill a thief. It is well-known by the county and recommended as a school captain. Later, the demon thief Xuchang rebelled, proclaimed himself "Emperor Yangming", and gathered tens of thousands. Jian and the county Sima recruited 1,000 warriors, rendezvous with the county of Hezhou, and beheaded Xu Chang and his son Xu Shao. Assassin Shi Zang Min performed his work to remove the salt and blasphemy, and then removed Pi Cheng, which greatly boosted his prestige

This Sun Jian once participated in the campaign against the Yellow Turban Army, and was meritorious in the late Han Dynasty to conquer the Yellow Turban, and was worshiped as the Taishou of Changsha. Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, Sun Jian was one of the "eighteen princes against Dong Zhuo", as the vanguard of the princes' coalition, he was very active, Sun Jian was only 35 years old at this time, he was young and promising and in his prime, so he was sitting on the position of Changsha Taishou at such an age is by no means a simple person, Sun Jian is now in the general Zu Mao, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, accompanied by the attack on Bishui Pass, Zhang Xiu saw that Sun Jian was menacing, and immediately wanted to go down to the city to fight Sun Jian, Zhang Ji stopped Zhang Xiu, and said Zhang Xiu: "Don't underestimate the enemy!" This Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tiger very good, and there is no shortage of fierce generals and soldiers under his command, so you must not act rashly! ”

"Uncle is really angry with others to destroy his prestige, I don't believe that I, the king of the spear in the north, can't deal with him, the Jiangdong Tiger, I think I'll meet him for a while, the so-called Jiangdong Tiger!" Zhang Xiu was not angry.

Zhang Ji continued to drink and said, "Don't be careless, have you forgotten how Fan Chou died?" We should only hold on and not fight, this Bishui Pass is the gateway to the east of Luoyang, once it is lost, you and I can't get out of it! ”

"Sun Jian came from afar, the advantage is to fight quickly, I will wait for the surprise to hit him, and the battle can be decided! If sitting still is the way to get trouble, my uncle must not miss the opportunity! Zhang Xiu argued.

Zhang Ji waved his hand and said: "Here I am the boss, and I am your uncle in terms of seniority, do you want to disobey my words?" ”

"Uncle, you and I made meritorious service at that time, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, you and my uncle have been by Dong Zhuo's side for many years but have been condescending to others, the reason is that my uncle is too conservative, you look at Guan Yu has climbed all the way from a deputy general, and now he is already a former general, and we have been subservient to others for so long, is my skill poor? This time, I must take Sun Jian's head and dedicate it to the prime minister! Zhang Xiu insisted.

Zhang Xiu suddenly talked about Zhang Ji's sore spot, Zhang Ji, who has passed the age of not being confused, is now just a third-grade general, and Zhang Xiucai is just a fourth-grade general, as an uncle, he is older, there is no future at all, of course, his strength is limited, there is nothing surprising, but his nephew Zhang Xiu is different, Zhang Xiu has a body of martial arts, known as the "Northland Gun King", but has not been able to get a strong support, one of the very important reasons is that there are few opportunities to show their faces, A lot of the time the limelight is occupied by Guan Yu, although Zhang Xiu is slightly inferior to Guan Yu in many aspects, but it is certain that Zhang Xiu's martial arts are definitely above the other generals, but what position is he is now is just a four-grade general, as an uncle he has always wanted to push Zhang Xiu up, let him be in a key position, but this long-cherished wish has been difficult to realize, this time Zhang Xiu's heartfelt words are to his sore spot, Zhang Ji's psychological defense line collapsed suddenly, and his nephew asked to go up but did not give him this opportunity, Isn't this tantamount to harming his nephew, if his nephew has made great contributions this time, he will naturally be affirmed by Dong Zhuo, and even vigorously promoted, if he doesn't give him this opportunity, wouldn't it ruin his future?
