Chapter 150: Breaking Out of the Encirclement
Zhang Liao and Li Yan thought that the mood of victory suddenly changed from the previous depression and frustration to a high level, and the force of the two was also vividly exerted, but at this moment, they heard Yuan Shu shouting behind the sky, it seemed that there were infinite people and horses killing the generals, Zhang Liao and Li Yan couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this, Yuan Shu saw a large group of people coming behind him, and suddenly shouted as if he had opened the clouds and mist and saw the sun! Our reinforcements are coming, and the brothers will kill me with all my might! ”
It turned out that the Shanyang Taishou Yuan Relic Department, the Dongjun Taishou Bridge Mao Department, and the Yanzhou Thorn History Liu Dai Department killed the three troops and horses who came to reinforce Yuan Shu, and the three departments led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses plus Yuan Shu's department There are as many as 30,000 people, such a large force is almost twice that of Zhang Liao and Li Yan, and a lot of generals came at once, Zhang Liao and Li Yan did not dare to fight and fought and retreated, and simply retreated after the most retreat, and the Kwantung Army did not chase and was busy fighting the fire on the spot, Zhang Liao This sneak attack burned grain and grass One of the nearly three people can be regarded as a gain.
Besides, Guan Yu and Cao Cao's side also won and lost the war, the two sides fought fiercely again, and each party collected its troops, this battle Guan Yu did not take advantage of it but did not lose too much, Cao Cao's side was able to win, but he had no choice but to kill a man halfway to relieve the siege of Guan Yu, and the fierce battle for several hours did not see Yuan Shao's side send reinforcements, Cao Cao was very annoyed, he led the generals back to the Chinese army camp to find Yuan Shao, and said Yuan Shao: "Didn't you see a war ahead here?" ”
"I already know the news!" Yuan Shao replied.
Cao Cao continued: "Then why didn't you send reinforcements to reinforcements for a long time? ”
"Meng De didn't know anything, and there was a war in the grain and grass camp in the rear at the same time, so I sent reinforcements there to reinforce it!" Yuan Shao continued.
Cao Cao continued: "How can the grain and grass camp be guarded by Yuan Shu's heavy troops? ”
"You don't know that there are many people and horses sent by Dong Zhuo to sneak attack the grain and grass camp this time, and I am afraid that the highway will be difficult to deal with, so I sent a few troops to respond, if I hadn't sent troops to meet the grain, the grass would have been burned long ago, and nearly a third of it was burned!" Yuan Shao explained.
Cao Cao heard this and said: "It seems that Guan Yu's sneak attack was carefully arranged. Even if I went to the food and grass camp, I should have allocated some people to help me! ”
"Where did I know that Guan Yu still has a hand!" Yuan Shao argued.
Cao Cao continued: "There are still many people in the headquarters camp that will not stay, and there is a war ahead, and there should be action, instead of sitting idly by!" ”
"The army has been fighting for days, so you have to keep some men and horses! If Dong Zhuo comes to challenge us tomorrow, how can we fight the enemy? Yuan Shao continued to be stunned.
The more Cao Cao listened, the more angry he became, he sighed, simply threw off his sleeves and walked out of the Chinese army, and after leaving the camp, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh: "The vertical son is not conspiring with each other!" Since then, there has been a gap between the two
Guan Yu's sneak attack this time could be regarded as some of Yuan Shao's grain and grass, and the two sides were already exhausted after these fierce battles. Then it entered the stalemate stage for the time being, Guan Yu retreated to the tiger prison to guard, and Yuan Shao rested on the spot while urging grain and grass everywhere, preparing to fight again in the coming day.
Guan Yu retreated to the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo still gave a certain affirmation to his sneak attack, although it did not achieve the effect expected by Guan Yu, but it was also a small achievement, after these battles, Dong Zhuo's army lost tens of thousands of horses, the loss was not small, and the Kwantung Army also paid a heavy price. Guan Yu fully tested the strength of the soldiers he trained through these battles, many of these soldiers were brought out by himself, and they performed bravely in the battle, which made Guan Yu very proud.
Guan Yu returned to his residence and began to reflect on the process of this battle, if this war is really won, it will mean that his future road will be paved with flowers, and it will also lay the foundation for him to clear Dong Zhuo, which is a battle related to his future life and death. It was also the most difficult war he had ever faced in his life, and it would be a thorough test of his talents. Not only tested his strength but also his wisdom and strategy, but now Guan Yu felt that he still had more than half of his energy unplayed, and he had full confidence in dealing with the Kwantung Army.
Through these battles, Guan Yu learned about the strength of the Kwantung Army, especially the strength of some generals, such as several generals under Cao Cao, and this time he personally faced off with these people. Their force is by no means idle, of course, if they are replaced by Guan Yu alone, they can ensure that they defeat any of them, even Xiahoudun is no exception, in the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the duel between the second master and Xiahoudun has been mentioned more or less, but the winner is not distinguished. The same is true in film and television, is it possible that the second master of Xiahou Tang can't take him?
Not only that, Guan Yu even found through the Internet before his rebirth that there were remarks on the Internet that the second master was afraid of Xiahoudun, Guan Yu had been unhappy with this news before, could it be that a generation of martial saints was still afraid of a little Xiahoudun? However, by looking for some information, he found that there was indeed no clear conclusion about the contest between the second master and Xiahoudun, could it be that this Xiahoudun was still refined? Is he even more powerful than Lu Bu? This time, I must complete a long-cherished wish when I am reborn, what a long-cherished wish is to personally have a-for-tat duel with Xiahoudun, to fight the winner, so as to give the second master a clear justice!
The duel with Xiahoudun must be done, this can only be expected to compete in front of the two armies in Japan, Guan Yu also found Cao Cao's strength, if it weren't for him, Guan Yu's sneak attack would have been successful, I didn't expect to "kill halfway out of a way to bite gold", Guan Yu accidentally fell into an ambush, but fortunately, he also made the worst plan, otherwise he had to hang up, Cao Cao was resourceful but he didn't expect that he was also a good soldier, "needle tip to Maimang" turned out Cao Cao still slightly lost to himself, However, Cao Cao was cautious and proficient in the art of war, which still sounded the alarm for Guan Yu.
Through these several battles, Guan Yu also learned about the strength of his subordinates, especially Zhang Liao, who is really a seedling of a famous general, not only outstanding in martial arts, but also has some brains in fighting, this is a rare talent, Li Yan can also be an expert in some aspects now, such as armaments, these two talents have not been cultivated in vain, this war has come in handy, and it can be called his right-hand man.
Another surprise in this war is that he also met his former sworn brother, received a letter from his eldest brother Liu Bei, and also met his third brother Zhang Fei on the battlefield, but Zhang Fei's performance made him a little unhappy, but he still forgave him, maybe this is Zhang Fei's impulse! After all, it's a brother who worshipped the handle! Zhang Fei blames himself for nothing more than that he is now following Dong Zhuo, because Dong Zhuo is the public enemy of the whole world, how can the reputation of the people who mix under him be good? But he can't get rid of Dong Zhuo right now, it's not the right time, maybe Zhang Fei will forgive himself with Dong Zhuo's disappearance in the future
Guan Yu saw that the army had been fighting for several days and was a little tired, so he no longer asked Dong Zhuo about the army, Dong Zhuo saw that the army suffered a lot of casualties, and Yuan Shao's army was also frustrated, and the losses were not heavy, thinking that the Kwantung Army was no longer able to attack and was ready to return to Luoyang, he summoned the generals to prepare to make a decision on the next arrangement, Guan Yu and the generals were quickly called, Guan Yu thought: The army is repairing, but Dong Zhuo is uncharacteristically positive, this is a little wrong, it seems that Dong Zhuo must have something else to think, he must want to go back to Luoyang, What a day in Luoyang, day and night, there are infinite beauties waiting for him, and sitting here is boring and boring, not to mention suffering from war.
These days of fighting have suffocated Dong Zhuo, this time the Kwantung Army is finally powerless to fight back, and now it is finally time to rest, it is time to enjoy the peaceful days, and it is time to enjoy life, Guan Yu thought in his heart and quickly guessed the intention of Dong Zhuo's summons this time, and he also began to think about how to persuade Dong Zhuo in his heart.
Tiger Prison Guan General's Mansion, is Dong Zhuo's shelter, but also a command of the overall war, every military meeting is held here, the generals soon came here, Dong Zhuo is sitting in a precarious position has long lost his previous solemn expression, his face showed a pleasant expression, at a glance, he knew that Dong Zhuo was in a good mood this time, Guan Yu saw his expression and immediately knew that this guy must have been guessed by himself, Dong Zhuo was happy The more Guan Yu felt uneasy
Dong Zhuo saw that all the generals had arrived, and first spoke: "This battle is thanks to the strength of the generals here, we and the Kwantung Army have won and lost each other, but in summary, we are the winners, which is inseparable from everyone's efforts, especially General Guan, who performed very well in this war!" ”
"Thanks to the lord's love, Guan Yu's achievements are all the result of the lord's wise leadership!" Guan Yu immediately stepped out of the queue.
Dong Zhuo waved his hand to Guan Yu and motioned for him to sit down, Dong Zhuo continued: "In view of the improvement of the war situation, no one has taken care of the affairs of Luoyang, so I can't continue to stay in this Tiger Prison Pass, I have to go back to Luoyang, here I thought about it and decided to hand it over to General Guan to guard, I believe that he will be able to complete the task of blocking the Kwantung Army excellently!" How about General Guan, no problem, right? ”
"My lord, with all due respect, it's not appropriate to go back to Luoyang at this juncture!" Guan Yu came out of the queue.
Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard this: "How can Yun Chang say this? ”
"Although the current battle between our army and the Kwantung Army has achieved certain results, this is just a small step towards victory, the lord tries to calculate that the casualties of the enemy and us after these battles are only tens of thousands, and the two sides are fighting hundreds of thousands of people, in this sense, the battle between the two sides has not touched the root at all, that is, the main forces of the two sides still exist, the battle has just entered the theme, and the next big war that determines the outcome is the key, if we relax our vigilance now, it is very likely to lose the future battle, Now the Kwantung Army still has not retreated and is still busy transporting grain and grass, from this point of view, the Kwantung Army is likely to have a big decisive battle, at present we should be ready to fight a war, if we misjudge the situation, the consequences can be imagined, once the Tiger Pass is lost? Luoyang is in danger! I hope the lord will think twice! Guan Yu had a long talk and persuaded. (To be continued.) )
