The news of the defeat of the defensive line was quickly sent to Yanjing. Zhang Xiu and others, who stayed in Yanjing, gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Li Jin and Yue Xi's martial arts and courage really exceeded everyone's expectations, no one expected that Cao Cao would find such two generals with superior force, resulting in an obvious deviation in everyone's estimation of Cao Jun's combat effectiveness.

Zhang Xiu frowned and said first: "Everyone, although Gongming and Junyi are brave, but their fists are invincible with four hands, not to mention the other generals under Cao Cao, Li Jin and Yue Xi alone are enough to tie them up, King Yan handed over the heavy responsibility of staying behind before the expedition, and he must not let Jizhou lose, therefore, he wants to go to the front line in person to help Gongming and them resist Cao's army." ”

Hearing that Zhang Xiu was going to come to the battlefield in person, Tian Feng immediately stood up and said, "It's not appropriate! The duty of the general is to stay in Yanjing, not to fight on the battlefield, Yanjing is the foundation of our country, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes, so Feng does not recommend that the general be dispatched easily. However, as General Shicai said, the front line is tight, and the road on the side of King Yan is far away, even if he returns to the army to rescue, it is beyond the reach of the whip, so we should select a general among the existing left-behind personnel and lead the reinforcements to support the front line. ”

Zhong Xuan also spoke: "Yes, Yuan Hao's words are very true. The old man also thinks that General Youwei should not move lightly, and we should choose someone else among the other generals to support General Komeito. ”

Zhang Xiu looked around at everyone, sighed and said, "General Shi Lian's martial arts, everyone is clear. He couldn't even block Li Jin's three moves, which shows Li Jin's bravery, not to mention that there is a Yue Xi who is not on par with him. In addition, the Xiahou brothers, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others are all famous generals in the world, so the main generals we go to support must not only have a mature strategy, but also bravely crown the three armies. ”

Zhang Xiu's words. Let the dozens of civil and military officials present be silent at the same time, yes, Ao Lie went to Yizhou to take away most of the civil and military generals in the court. The other famous generals are all stationed in various places, and it is obviously too late for temporary recruitment, but in Yanjing City, who has the strategic thinking and martial arts that Zhang Xiu said at the same time? Think about it. It seems that only Zhang Xiu can do it.

Seeing everyone's silence. Zhang Xiu stood up and said: "This matter is decided, I will lead the army to the expedition today, Yanjing, I will entrust it to you!" ”

"Wait! General Yovi and slow! The old man thought of a person, his prestige shocked Kyushu, if he led his troops there, he would definitely be able to defeat Cao Cao! Just when Zhang Xiu was about to close the coffin. The veteran Huangfu Song suddenly stood up and said.

Huang Fu Song's words attracted everyone's attention. Everyone has thought about it carefully, among the generals who stayed in Yanjing, only Zhang Xiu has this ability, but I don't know who this person Huangfu Song is talking about?

Seeing that everyone's eyes were all focused on him, Huangfu Song said with a smile: "Have you forgotten? Half a month ago, a general came to Yanjing by speedboat, in order to thank King Yan for his grace not to kill, isn't this person enough to resist Li Jin and Yue Xi? ”

It's Guan Yu! Hanshou Pavilion Hou Guan Yu! After Huangfu Song's reminder, everyone immediately woke up, that's right, Guan Yu passed five passes and cut six generals, and rode alone for thousands of miles, he has long been famous all over the world, his martial arts are not under any of the five tiger generals of the Northern Han Dynasty, and his tactical literacy is not bad, the original flooding of the Seventh Army is the best proof, after Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes, causing Guan Yu to carelessly lose Jingzhou, Guan Yu's arrogance has also been reined in a lot, becoming calmer, more calm, more calm, if he leads the troops to support Xu Huang, It must be foolproof.

Du Ji said with some hesitation: "Old General Huangfu, Guan Yunchang is naturally no problem, but the key thing is, is he willing to use it for me and lead his troops to resist Cao Cao?" ”

Huangfu Song said with a smile: "Guan Yunchang has always come to see love and righteousness, righteousness is thin Yuntian, he came this time to thank King Yan for his grace of not killing, this is a good opportunity to repay his kindness, how could he not agree?" Besides, he is not a fool, now the war in Yizhou is critical, Liu Bei is in a worrying situation, Guan Yu is worried about Liu Bei, but he can't return to Yizhou, and can't help Liu Bei on the frontal battlefield, if he can relieve the danger of Jizhou this time, maybe he can also bring some benefits to Liu Bei from the side, let King Yan make concessions, the best of both worlds, why not do it? ”

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed when he heard this: "In this way, the old general Huangfu and the old man Zhong will go with a certain person to meet Yun Chang and ask him what he thinks about this matter, if he agrees, he will lead the troops to the expedition this time!" ”

Facts have proved that Huang Fusong's inference is very accurate. After Guan Yu saw Zhang Xiu and the three of them and learned their intentions, he agreed after a little consideration. As Huangfu Song said, Guan Yu is a person who values love and righteousness, and he was defeated in Jingzhou, and it was impossible to escape death, but Sun Ce did not kill him, because this was Ao Lie's order, so that Sun Ce let him go. Sun Ce did as Ao Lie told him, and he didn't embarrass Guan Yu, but what kind of person is Guan Yu? Is he the one who does not repay his kindness? In Guan Yu's heart, love is greater than the sky, he must personally thank Ao Lie for his grace of not killing, and only by doing so can he return to Liu Bei's camp without guilt in the future and be an enemy of Ao Lie. If he didn't thank Ao Lie and quietly returned to Liu Bei's side, then in Guan Yu's heart, this was a move of revenge, which Guan Yu despised.

From another point of view, although Guan Yu comes and goes freely now, in his heart, he has positioned himself as Ao Lie's captive, without Ao Lie's approval, he will not easily leave Yanjing, this is the dignity that a military general should have, and it is also the dignity of Guan Yu. That's why he didn't go back to Liu Bei's side to help Liu Bei resist Ao Lie's attack. Just like Zhang Fei at the beginning, Guan Yu is also very contradictory now, he doesn't know what choice he has between Liu Bei and Ao Lie, one is his eldest brother who has shared honor and disgrace for twenty years, but he has repeatedly disappointed himself, especially the practice of abandoning Pang Tong and Zhang Fei successively, which made Guan Yu resentful; The other is a brother who has all kinds of kindness to himself, since he met ten years ago, although he is in a different camp, but he has to respond, once he knows that his three brothers are in trouble, he will always help generously, and he has the grace of not killing himself, and his personality and bearing also make Guan Yu more respectful.

Guan Yu is confused about his future path, but he is very clear about his current choice. Now the war in Yizhou is critical, Chengdu may be captured at any time, Liu Bei may be in a different place at any time, if at such a moment, the crisis in Jizhou can be lifted, at least like Zhang Fei, ask Ao Lie to spare Liu Bei again, in that case, it can be regarded as Guan Yu's commitment to Liu Bei, and when he makes a choice in the future, he will be worthy of his heart, therefore, Guan Yu agreed to Zhang Xiu's request, and took his subordinates Liao Hua and Zhou Cang's two generals, as well as the 50,000 Han troops that Zhang Xiu allocated to him, and rushed to the Jizhou battlefield at an accelerated speed.

On the way to the march, Guan Yu's emotion never stopped, on the one hand, he was sighing Zhang Xiu's trust in him, Guan Yu did not show his attitude to serve Ao Lie, but Zhang Xiu still took out 50,000 Han troops and handed them to Guan Yu, not at all worried that Guan Yu would take the 50,000 Han troops to fight against him and make trouble for Ao Lie on the battlefield in Yizhou. I felt such warmth.

On the other hand, Guan Yu sighed at the elite degree of the Han army and the sophistication of the equipment, as early as ten years ago, on the fat city wall, Guan Yu witnessed Gan Ning led the Qilin army to come and go freely in the rebel array, and once sighed that it is every general's lifelong wish to be able to command such elite battles. Now, he finally got his wish and was able to personally command such an elite army, although the 50,000 Han army could not be compared to the Qilin army commanded by Gan Ning, but compared to the Jingzhou army under the command of Guan Yu in the past, they were more than two levels higher in terms of fighting spirit and soldier quality, Guan Yu felt sincerely proud and proud to be able to fight side by side with them.

At the same time that Guan Yu led the army to hurry, Cao Cao was also speeding up the speed of the march, he wanted to expand the results of the battle before the arrival of reinforcements from Yanjing, and it was best to defeat the Han army on the other two roads, and open all the roads from Wei County to the hinterland of Jizhou, in that case, there would be this great benefit to the deployment of troops and the arrangement of troops behind him.

After losing the left flank defense line, Xu Huang also made corresponding adjustments, under the suggestion of Li Ru, he and Xu Shu contracted their forces, retreated for thirty miles, and relied on the high mountains behind them to form two large formations that guarded each other and integrated attack and defense, preparing to fight to the death with Cao's army here. The advantage of Xu Huang doing this is that he can continue to block most of the roads leading to the hinterland of Jizhou, and keep the Cao army out of Jizhou, but there is also a huge risk in doing so, because the back of the mountain, the Han army has lost its way to retreat, once it can't hold on, they will fall into death, and there is no longer the possibility of retreating.

When Cao Cao rushed to the front line of Wei County and watched Xu Huang's formation from a distance, he frowned and whispered: "This is a hard bone, it's not easy to gnaw." ”

Cao Cao's words aroused the desire of the two tiger generals around him to fight, Yan Liang and Wen Chou took a step forward at the same time, and said loudly: "Please approve the king, a certain two people are willing to lead the army and horses to the company camp, cut off Xu Huang's head and send it to the king!" "Li Jin and Yue Xi, the two generals who have recently defected to Cao Cao, have already made meritorious contributions, Yan Liang and Wen Chou saw it in their eyes, how could they not be anxious? So he took this opportunity to tell Cao Cao clearly the desire to fight in the hearts of the two of them. (To be continued......)
