The Han army, which transported grain and grass up the mountain, waited until the sky was completely dark, and then sent the grain and grass up the mountain.

The officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou army on the top of the mountain received the grain and grass, and they were all excited, and many even helped the military quartermaster count the grain and grass.

Guan Yu never personally asked about the grain and grass sent by the Han army.

Earlier, the Han army had sent him a batch of grain and grass, and with the previous experience, Guan Yu even had a thought in his heart that the Han army under the mountain would transport grain and grass up the mountain when the army under his command was short of food, which was also a matter of course.

Man, that's it!

Many times, it doesn't belong to him or even shouldn't get it at all, and once he gets it, he thinks about the next time.

With this mentality, Guan Yuxiang naturally thought that the grain and grass sent by the Han army to the mountains originally belonged to the Jingzhou army, and the reason why the Han army sent him these rations was nothing more than to win him away from Liu Bei.

The more he thought like this in his heart, the more he felt that as long as he had loyalty in his heart, even if he followed Liu Bei until there was no way out, the people of the world would still respect and even admire him!

Looking at the soldiers of the Han army who were unloading grain and grass from the grain truck, Guan Yu ordered one of the soldiers behind him: "Call their officers!" ”

After receiving Guan Yu's order, the pro-soldier responded and quickly ran to the officer transporting grain and grass.

"General Guan told you to come over!" When the officer approached, his soldiers yelled at him.

Turning his head to look at his own soldiers, the officer didn't pay attention to him at all, and shouted to the more than 100 Han soldiers who were unloading grain and grass from the car: "Throw the grain and grass on the ground and let them carry it at home!" ”

Seeing that the officer ignored him, the personal soldier sent by Guan Yu suddenly felt a little annoyed in his heart, and his tone became a little stiffer and said, "General Guan called you over!" ”

"The two armies are facing the enemy, and we are waiting to send grain and grass, aren't we even stingy with a word of invitation?" With a frown, the officer glared at Guan Yu's own soldiers, and said angrily: "A certain is a Han sergeant, not a soldier under Liu Bei. ”

was asked by the officer, and the soldiers who came to call him were stunned, blinked twice, and had nothing to say.

"Go ahead, don't delay someone to do something important!" waved his hand at the soldiers, and the Han army officer waved his hand at him and said to him, "Go and tell Guan Yu." A certain person is so busy that he is about to go down the mountain after unloading the grain and grass, and he wants to have something to do, so he comes to talk at home! ”

The officer's attitude was to give Guan Yu no face at all.

I also knew that what Fang had just said was bad, no one was called, and it was not easy for the soldiers to go back to restore their lives, so he hesitated for a while before saying to the Han army officer: "General Guan wants to invite you, but it's just ......."

"Yes, please? Not calling? Tilting his head to look at the personal soldiers sent by Guan Yu, the officer's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked him.

Stunned by his question, the soldier hesitated for a moment before he nodded and said, "What the general said is really to invite, but a certain party just passed the word badly!" ”

"That's pretty much it!" Pouting, the officer waved his hand at the soldier and said, "Lead the way!" ”

The officer of the Han army looked lazy, and the soldiers who came to call him did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly stood sideways to the side, gestured to him and said, "Please!" ”

Nodding his head again, the officer walked towards the place where Guan Yu was standing.

Watching the pro-soldiers talk to the Han army officer from a distance, Guan Yu was anxious in his heart, until he saw the Han army officer walking towards him accompanied by his own soldiers, his face looked a little better.

When Guan Yu approached, the Han army officer did not salute him, but asked, "What is the general looking for?" ”

The officer's attitude made Guan Yu feel very unhappy.

However, the person standing in front of him was finally sending grain and grass to the Jingzhou soldiers up the mountain, although Guan Yu was unhappy in his heart, he didn't say anything.

"Tell General Sima, thank you for the food!" His eyes narrowed into a slit, looking at the officer standing in front of him, Guan Yu threw out such a sentence in a flat tone.

Hearing what he said, the Han army officer raised his fists, arched slightly towards him, turned around and walked towards the more than 100 Han soldiers who had already unloaded the grain and grass.

In front of Guan Yu, although the attitude of the Han army officer was not arrogant, at least it was not very polite.

Looking at his departing back, Guan Yu's fists clenched tightly, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched violently twice.

I wanted to kill the officer on the spot immediately, but the other party was the one who sent him grain and grass, and if he was killed, I am afraid that the Han army would not be able to send them grain and grass again in the future.

For the sake of the overall situation, Guan Yu didn't compare himself with the Han army officer, but just silently watched him turn around and leave.

The officer led more than 100 Han troops who carried grain up the mountain down the mountain road, and the Jingzhou army on the top of the mountain was busy carrying the grain and grass to the grain storage place, and the bags were neatly stacked.

The Jingzhou army on the mountain, all focused on the grain and grass, and did not notice that at the foot of the mountain, a Han army was quietly moving towards the jungle at the foot of the mountain.

The leader of this Han army was Xiahou Yuan, who was specially transferred by Sima Yi from Xiahou Yuan.

Walking behind Xiahou Yuan's side was Niu Zi, who had fled from the top of the mountain earlier, joined the Han army because his brother was killed, and offered to lead the way up the mountain for the Han army.

The 2,000 Han troops did not light the torches, and the soldiers, led by Xiahou Yuan, were led by oxen and quickly rushed to the jungle that stretched to the top of the mountain.

The Jingzhou army, which had obtained grain and grass, was busy distributing grain and grass, and no one noticed the mountain at all.

Because it was too dark and the Han army running towards the forest did not light the torches, even if the attention of the Jingzhou army was not attracted by the grain and grass, it was difficult for them to find the Han army's survival.

With 2,000 selected Han soldiers, under the guidance of Niu Zi, they quickly drilled into the forest, and only then did they enter the forest, Xiahou Yuan let out a long breath and asked Niu Zi in a low voice: "How many hours does it take to go up the mountain from here?" ”

Entering the forest, it was dark in front of him, and Niu Zi lowered his voice and replied: "Our army can't light torches, the terrain in the forest is extremely complicated, and if you want to reach the top of the mountain, I'm afraid you have to wait for dawn!" ”

The forest was so dark that Xiahou Yuan couldn't even see the ground under his feet.

He looked around, and soon realized that the distance he could see since he entered the forest was only a step in front of him.

"How can our army go up the mountain in such darkness?" The vision was too poor, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help frowning, and asked Niu Zi, "Is there a way to let the soldiers see the road?" ”

Niu Zi and his fellow villagers fled from the mountains during daytime.

They were walking through the woods, not worrying about not being able to see.

Now he is entering the forest at night, and if he wants to find a way, he really can't think of it for a while.

Xiahou Yuan and Niu Zi were struggling to go up the mountain without light, and a low voice came from behind them: "General, let the soldiers hold hands and slowly grope towards the mountain, even if they step on the air under their feet, they will not roll down the mountain!" ”

Because the environment was so dark, Xiahou Yuan couldn't see who proposed his plan to him.

However, judging from the current environment, there is really only this way, which can make the soldiers of the Han army march towards the mountain at an extremely slow speed.

After a deep groan, Xiahou Yuan whispered an order behind him: "Pass the order, the soldiers will join hands and line up the mountain in a column!" ”

The soldiers who followed behind Xiahoudun did not dare to shout at the top of their voices, and also passed the order to the Han soldiers behind them in a very low voice.

The soldiers of the Han army who got the order put their shields behind their backs one by one, held hands, and slowly rubbed towards the top of the mountain.

The soldiers marched very slowly, and those who walked in front always reminded those behind to pay attention to the big trees under their feet or in front of them every two or three steps.

One left and one right, led by two personal soldiers, when Xiahou Yuan went up the mountain, he felt unusually aggrieved in his heart.

It was not unheard of for him to march in the middle of the night, but he had never been able to light torches in a completely dark environment like today, and he had to keep quiet so that the Jingzhou army on the top of the hill could not discover their existence.

Under the traction of his own soldiers, Xiahou Yuan walked towards the mountain step by step, and from time to time he would poke into the ground with his feet to see if he was sure.

The cow who offered to lead the way for the Han army, after entering the forest, was no longer useful.

To be a guide, you must be able to see with both eyes.

In the dark forest, he couldn't see anything at all, and if he took a step forward, he could only rely on his feelings, and it was impossible for him to play a role in guiding the Han army.

The Jingzhou army on the top of the mountain has already put the grain and grass in order, and the officers and men of the Jingzhou army who are in charge of vigilance have also set their sights on the mountain.

The jungle is dense everywhere, and the place they occupy can still see the situation on the mountain road during the day, but at night, the dark mountain road becomes a dead end in their field of vision, even if someone climbs up the mountain road, they can't find it if they don't go very close.

When the Han army went up the mountain, they chose not a mountain road, but a jungle covered with dense trees.

The vigilant Jingzhou army was even more unlikely to see them cautiously going up the mountain.

Xiahou Yuan led two thousand Han troops into the forest, and Sima Yi and Yu Ban stood side by side on the edge of the barracks, looking out over the Bowang Valley.

The Jingzhou army led by Guan Yu occupied the top of the valley, and if they were not pulled out, the Han army would not be able to attack Zhang Fei's troops in the valley at all.

Looking at Bowang Valley, Sima Yi frowned.

This raid has a great chance of success, but the battle has not yet begun, and he is not sure that he will be able to wipe out Guan Yu.

In the course of the whole battle, if there is a slight mishap, the outcome may develop in the unfavorable direction of the Han army.

After looking at the valley for a long time, Sima Yi said to Yu Ban on the side: "General Yu, take the trouble to lead the soldiers and horses, stay until early tomorrow morning, advance to the foot of the mountain, and respond to General Xiahou!" ”
