In the fifty-ninth chapter, Sun Cao joined forces to break Liu Bei, and Nan Ye asked Sun Quan to ask for help (13
Guan Yu's corporal and family members are all in Yanzhou, and when they heard that Guan Yu wanted to go to Yanzhou, they naturally agreed. As for Xun Chen's instructions, none of the soldiers mentioned it, a dead army division and a living general, the soldiers naturally listened to Guan Yu. And Guan Yu didn't listen to Xun Chen's advice because of his character, he felt that if he couldn't recapture Yanzhou, he would not be able to explain to Liu Bei, even if there were many difficulties and dangers in this journey, he didn't want to live up to Liu Bei's trust. Of course, Guan Yu also had some luck psychology, and felt that there was still hope for retaking Yanzhou, so while returning to the army, he sent people to Yuzhou and Bingzhou to ask for help in the starry night, wanting to recapture Yanzhou with three soldiers and horses.
The men and horses were moving forward, and suddenly there was a loud shout of killing in front of them, and a team of military horses blocked Guan Yu's way, and the general led by Chen Wu was none other than Chen Wu. Chen Wule raised his gun and shouted, "Why don't Yun Chang descend early!" β
Guan Yu scolded: "Even the defeated generals dare to seek death!" I am a general, how can I be a thief! "Say goodbye to the horse and dance the knife, and take Chen Wu directly.
Chen Wu stepped forward to fight, but was defeated in less than ten horses. Guan Yu raised his knife to chase for more than ten miles, and suddenly shouted again, Zhou Tai led the army in the valley on the left, cutting off Guan Yu's back road, Chen Wu returned to the horse to resume the battle, it turned out that Chen Wu's pretended defeat and retreat was a plan to lure the enemy.
Guan Yu couldn't take care of the enemy on his back and back, so he could only wave his army to break through and leave. After this battle, half of Guan Yu's soldiers and horses were gone, and there were more than 5,000 people. Guan Yu thought that Zhou Yu's men and horses were still under Yecheng, so he made a detour to Yanzhou, so that when Chen Wu was defeated before, he left some grain and grass for realism, so that Guan Yu's soldiers did not have to loot for a living.
After bypassing Yecheng, Guan Yu just breathed a sigh of relief, and saw ambushes on the slopes on both sides, with Zhou Yu on the left and Ling Tong on the right. Yanzhou ahead is owned by my lord! I've been waiting for General Guan for a long time! β
Guan Yu saw Zhou Yu's eyes blazing, and scolded: "Unrighteous people, come and die!" With that, he rode his horse up the hillside and killed.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu was not in a hurry or angry, smiled slightly, and ordered the soldiers to release the arrows. The soldiers on both sides of the hillside fired their bows and arrows together, and the rolling logs and stones rolled down one after another. Guan Yu dialed Diao Ling, but couldn't get close to Zhou Yu, so he had to leave in defeat, and the 5,000 soldiers broke more than 2,000 people.
Ling Tong saw that Guan Yu was about to leave, and he was about to chase after him, Zhou Yu shouted: "Don't go to the public service!" Are you Guan Yu's opponent if you have injuries on your body? β
Ling Tong said unwillingly: "Our military horses are ten times that of Guan Yu, how can we let them go easily?" β
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "The trapped beast is still fighting, the poor are not chasing, I can't wait for a soldier or a general, and I should be content to leave Guan Yu's two thousand soldiers and horses." There are people ahead who will want Guan Yu's life. β
Ling Tong didn't say much when he heard this, how did he know that Zhou Yu didn't want to pursue, but that he had no generals. Zhou Yu didn't think that he and Ling Tong, who was injured, could stop Guan Yu.
Guan Yu led more than 3,000 defeated troops to run for a while, and was relieved to see that the Wu army did not chase after him, so he moved forward again. Seeing that they had entered the boundary of Yanzhou, two more armies collided out of the mountain, Pan Zhang on the left and Dong on the right, each leading 10,000 troops and horses to kill. It turned out that the two generals were ordered by Lu Meng to help Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu ordered the two to ambush here, waiting for Guan Yu to arrive.
Pan Zhang and Dong Xi saw that Guan Yu's soldiers were embarrassed, and Guan Yu himself lost his former majesty, and the beautiful hair on his chest was soaked in blood and sticked to one place, so they thought that Guan Yu was easy to bully, and they fought Guan Yu with guns and knives.
Guan Yu couldn't help but be furious when he saw that the two second-rate generals regarded themselves as fat meat, and they both wanted to kill themselves first to fight for merit. Wield the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife to defeat the two generals.
If Pan Zhang and Dong Xi were more safe, they would not be able to catch Guan Yu if they used the time of the ambush to set up pits and tripping horses. However, the two of them had the heart to compete for merit, and they underestimated Guan Yu a little, so they did not set a trap and wanted to kill the generals before the battle. If the two of them work together and have a large army on their side, they may not be able to defeat the tired Guan Yu, but the two of them are not Guan Yu's opponents when they fight separately.
There are not so many ifs in the world, and there are no regret pills for sale. It was precisely because Pan Zhang and Dong attacked the enemy that Guan Yu seized the flaws and broke them individually, and killed Pan Zhang first in less than 20 times, and then fought 10 times to kill and retreat Dong Attack. Guan Yu once again led the troops to break out of the encirclement, and when he looked back at this time, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers left behind him.
Looking at the more than 1,000 soldiers covered in blood behind him, Guan Yu didn't know if he should move forward or not. Guan Yu knew in his heart that with these soldiers, he would not be able to take Yanzhou no matter what. At this time, he regretted that he didn't listen to Xun Chen's words, if he used Xun Chen's strategy, he might be defeated and lose face, but at least he could save the lives of most of the soldiers, maybe these soldiers could help Zhang Fei, and the result was better than being besieged and killed all the way.
Just when Guan Yu was hesitating at the Yanzhou border, a few soldiers suddenly came out of the woods on the side of the road, and asked loudly: "Is there a second general in front of you?" β
Guan Yu was stunned when he saw this, and hurriedly summoned a few grizzled soldiers to him and asked, "Who are you?" Why is it hidden in the jungle? β
The leading soldier wiped a handful of plaster on his face and said: "Second general, we are all Yanzhou soldiers, specially designed to guard the beacon tower here. It was all because of Wu Bing's invasion that we had no choice but to hide here. β
Guan Yu was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "Wu soldiers have violated the realm, why don't you raise fire?" β
The soldier said with a bitter face: "Lu Meng sent people to wear white clothes, play the banner of Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, pretend to be a merchant and a dart master, and deceive into the beacon tower, so no fire can be raised anywhere. β
The reputation of Zhenyuan Dart Bureau is famous all over the world, although it cannot be said that there has not been a single loss of goods, but even if the goods are lost, it will double the loss of the cargo owner. The trust of the people everywhere in the dart bureau, the dart master, and the money village is even greater than that of the government and the officers and soldiers, and it is no wonder that Lu Meng can repeatedly succeed in pretending to be a businessman.
Guan Yu became more and more angry after hearing the cause and effect, and thought that since he had chosen to come to Yanzhou, why didn't he ask Lu Meng for an explanation? Even if you can't recapture Yanzhou, you can lure Lu Meng out of the city to kill him, and it will be good to relieve the hatred in your heart. Thinking about it, Guan Yu set up troops and marched to Changyi.
As soon as Pan Zhang and Dong attacked were defeated, LΓΌ Meng heard that Guan Yu had entered the city in the city. When he learned that Guan Yu only had more than 1,000 men left, Lu Meng did not despise it, but ordered his soldiers to go down and prepare. And passed down the order: Where the counties of Yanzhou have the homes of the soldiers who went out with Guan Yu, the Wu soldiers are not allowed to disturb, and they will be given grain and rice on a monthly basis. If you are sick, you should be sent to the hospital for treatment. The soldiers' families, grateful for their favor, are willing to help Lu Meng act.
On this day, someone came to report that LΓΌ Meng's Guan Yu soldiers were coming to the city, and LΓΌ Meng went to the city to look. Guan Yu saw Lu Meng under the city and asked angrily: "Lu Meng dog thief, I and the two families made an agreement to punish Cao Pi together, but now you are helping Cao to attack me, which is a betrayal of the alliance." How dare you, a treacherous villain, go out of the city to fight me? β
Lu Meng's face was not red when he heard this, he was not panting, and he smiled at the head of the city: "Doesn't General Yun Chang hear the trickery of the soldiers?" If you have a plan to take my Xu and Yang Erzhou, you can take it. Come on, set up a formation. β
With Lu Meng's order, many soldiers and their families walked up to the city, and a white flag was erected on the city, with the words "Yanzhou people" written on it. When all the family members went to the city, they all told their families to surrender quickly.
