Chapter 671: Ambitious
The next day, according to Gan Ning's explanation, Li Song really made a proposal to Guan Yu, asking Guan Yu to exchange those generals who were captured in Hebei with Yuan Shang for hostages Zhou Cang and Liao Hua.
Guan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and according to Li Song's construction, he sent someone to Yuan Shang's camp to deliver the letter.
Guan Yu didn't have a bottom in his heart about whether Yuan Shang would agree to his opinion, in case Yuan Shang refused to agree to his own exchange of opinions, then Zhou Cang and Liao Hua could be regarded as completely finished.
However, unexpectedly, Yuan Shang agreed very happily this time, and immediately sent a messenger to bring a letter to Guan Yu, agreeing on a time to exchange prisoners and the front of the two armies.
Guan Yu was very happy after receiving the letter, and immediately wanted to exchange hostages according to Yuan Shang's opinion, but he didn't want Li Song to offer a plan for Guan Yu again.
Li Song analyzed for Guan Yu, Yuan Shangyin was ruthless and cunning, scheming, and the most wise, he agreed to exchange prisoners so easily this time, there must be some scheme, so that Guan Yu needs to be careful to prepare.
When Guan Yu heard this, he couldn't help but ask Li Song, "What does Mrs. Li mean by this?" ”
Li Song said with a smile: "General Guan, Yuan Shang agreed on a time to let the two sides fight, according to his character, he will inevitably secretly set up a cunning plan, send a large army to divide the troops, and take advantage of the lax exchange of hostages on our side to sneak attack Nanjun and the surrounding affiliated camps." ”
Guan Yu thought about it when he heard this, nodded secretly, and said, "Li Taishou's words are indeed reasonable!" It's okay, Guan Mou made arrangements early. Let's see if Yuan Shang will play tricks. ”
The next day, when the agreed time for the exchange of hostages was reached, Yuan Shang and Guan Yu exchanged prisoners in the wilderness.
On this side, Guan Yu and the others drove away the captured Yuan generals, while Yuan Shang's side drove Zhou Cang and Liao Hua, each running towards the opponent's formation.
As soon as the drums sounded, the captives of the two sides had already returned to their respective formations, and the commanders of the two sides slowly came to the front of the formation, facing each other and watching each other.
Yuan Shangjing looked at Guan Yu in the distance. frowned, suddenly smiled, and said: "Guan Yu, I let you win for a while before, don't be complacent, sooner or later I will let you come back." ”
Guan Yu stroked the long hair on his chin and said, "Yuan Shang, it's just a trick, how dare you show off in front of this general, don't you know what tricks you want to play?" It's just a prisoner exchange with me. Divide the troops to take Jiangling and its surrounding affiliated villages, don't you know about Daoguan? ”
As soon as Guan Yu's words fell, he saw that Yuan Shang's complexion suddenly changed.
When the words fell, the drums and noises in all directions were thunderous, but I saw that the Jingzhou soldiers were going straight to Yuan Shang to kill the generals!
But seeing that there were soldiers and horses in all directions, they came towards Yuan's army.
Yuan Shang flicked his whip hatefully, pointed at Guan Yu from afar, and said, "Guan Yu, count you ruthless!" ”
Soldiers and horses from all sides rushed in. Yuan Jun panicked, and was suppressed by the Jingzhou army for a while, Yuan was helpless, and ordered Zhang Yan to lead eight generals from Hebei Montenegro to block the Jingzhou soldiers. Flee in a hurry.
In this battle, the Jingzhou army won another big victory, and the Yuan army could not evade it, so it had to retreat thirty miles.
Guan Yu won again. Immediately turned back to Jiangling, Li Song and others continued, congratulating Guan Yu on his victory.
Guan Yu met Li Song. smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Li is too good at scheming, and Guan won again today." ”
Li Song humbly arched his hand, thought about it, and said: "General Guan, there is a sentence below, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
Guan Yu stroked his beard when he heard this, and said, "Li Taishou has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Li Song pondered the words for a moment and said: "The land of Jingzhou, the land of abundance, the land is vast, the population is large, and the soldiers and horses have been trained by General Guan for many years, and it is already a rare elite division in the world, and the only one who can compete with General Guan is Yuan Shangye of Hebei." However, now Yuan Shang sent troops in a hurry, lost several battles in a row, and his spirit has fallen, and he seized the land of the Cao family back then, relying on deceit, not the royal road, such as today, when the place is favorable, why don't General Guan take advantage of the situation to raise a large army to conquer Yuan Shang, go north in one fell swoop, first chase Yuan Shang, and then conquer the Central Plains, in order to determine the world, and share the worries of the main centimeter? ”
Guan Yu was stunned when he heard this, Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, he thought for a while, nodded and said, "Li Taishou's words are yes!" Guan has been in the land of Jingxiang for many years, and has long had the heart of the Northern Expedition, and now Yuan Shang's southern expedition has failed, and his troops are dead, but it is when Guan sent troops to the Northern Expedition! ”
**************
According to Li Song's advice, Guan Yu was very ambitious, and finally made up his mind, gathered Jingzhou's elite soldiers and horses, counterattacked the defense, and began to attack Yuan Shang's army out of the city.
Yuan Shang lost several battles in a row, and the soldiers had already fallen, and at this moment, the morale of the Jingzhou army led by Guan Yu was like a rainbow, and the soldiers were in full swing, and they successively conquered several defense lines of Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang couldn't resist it, and went straight to Jingbei!
This lasted for a month, Guan Yu defeated Yuan Shang five formations in a row, expelled Yuan Shang's army for 300 miles, and the Yuan Shang army lost its armor and went straight to the Bowangpo in the north of Jingzhou and stationed, as if it wanted to advance, seemed to retreat but not retreat, quite wanted to return to the Central Plains, but seemed to be reluctant to Jingzhou.
Guan Yu's army stayed directly south of Yuan Shang's army, and Guan Yu gathered his ministers to discuss the next move.
Following the exchange of prisoners, Guan Yu defeated Yuan's army five times, drove the enemy for 300 miles, and each major war had Li Song's construction, at this time Li Song had been relied on by Guan Yu as a wise man.
This time, the army has shifted from Jingdong to Jingbei, the offensive and defensive positions have shifted, and the situation has turned to the superior side of the Jingzhou army.
In the big tent, I heard Li Song talking eloquently to Guan Yu, and said: "General Guan, this battle of Bowangpo is the last battle between our army and the Yuan army in Jingchu, and if we win this battle, the Yuan army will be completely expelled from the realm of Jingzhou!" In this way, in the next war, we can command all the troops, mobilize grain and grass to the north through Fancheng, directly insert Xuchang, and seize the hinterland of the Central Plains! ”
Guan Yu nodded when he heard this: "Li Taishou's words are very much in line with Guan Mou's heart, but this is the last battle in Jingzhou, how to fight?" ”
Li Song arched his hand and said: "Finish your work in one battle, concentrate all the soldiers and horses, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!" Completely defeat Yuan Shang's ambition to seize Jingzhou, so this battle must not be left behind, and all the soldiers, horses and generals must be used! Defeat Yuan Shang completely! ”
"Good!" But seeing Guan Yu slapping the handsome case fiercely, he got up and said: "This is very much in line with my heart, Yuan Shang's thief has always been treacherous and cunning, and he wins the world with cunning, today Guan Mou is going to be in the north of Jingzhou, rubbing his sharpness fiercely, so that Yuan Shang's thief also knows that the heroes of the world are not easy to mess with!" ”
“…………”

Yuan Jun Dazhai, Yuan Shang also gathered all the generals under his command at this moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the conquest of Jingzhou, we have lost seven battles in a row, retreated three hundred miles, the defeat of ancient and modern times, I am afraid that it is better than this, but the matter is also over here, tomorrow's battle, we will get back all the hardships in Jingzhou!"
