Chapter 1415: Killing Order
The Han army intercepted Liu Bei's Jingzhou army, and the two sides fought fiercely in Bowang, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were trapped in the Bowang Valley, Liu Bei fled, and Sima Yi sent the news to Luoyang to deliver good news to Liu Wei.
Sitting in the main hall, the hall is divided into two columns of civil servants and military generals who stayed in Luoyang.
Liu Wei, who had already received the news that there would be good news, was silent, and his eyes always stayed outside the main hall, waiting for the good news to come.
The ministers and generals sitting in the main hall did not speak a word.
Although they didn't get the news that there would be good news, they could tell from Liu Wei's face what he was waiting for.
The emperor waited, and it was impossible for the courtiers to ask.
Everyone in the hall was very clear and wanted to know what Liu Wei was waiting for, they just needed
"Bowang good news!" The hall was surprisingly quiet, and a guard's shout suddenly came from outside the hall.
Hearing the shout, Liu Wei stood up violently, looking at the main entrance of the main hall with a pair of eyes.
The Han army conquered the south and the north, although it has not yet unified the world, there are not many heroes in the world who can threaten the Han royal family.
Cao Cao has been completely defeated by Liu Wei, and now he no longer knows where he went.
The only things that made him have some scruples were Liu Bei, who led the army to attack, and Sun Quan, who seized Jiangdong.
Not long after Sun Ce killed Yu Ji, he encountered an assassin and was already dead.
When the news reached Liu Wei's ears, he even sighed and lamented the fall of a generation of heroes.
Sima Yi defeated Liu Bei, and if Shun LĂŹ captured him, the heroic man who could make Liu Wei look at it in his eyes would only be the Jiangdong Sun family.
Standing in the main hall, staring at the main entrance, Liu Wei waited for the guards who delivered the good news to enter the hall.
Liu Wei stood up, and the courtiers sitting on both sides also stood up one after another.
"Qi Yu Majesty, Bo Wangjiebao!" A guard quickly ran to the door of the main hall and strode into the hall, holding a bamboo tube decorated with a brocade in both hands, and bowed down to stand only three or five steps into the hall.
Wang Zhen, who was standing behind Liu Wei with his sword, strode to the guard, took the good news from him, turned to Liu Wei, held it in both hands, and presented it to Liu Wei.
After receiving the good news presented by Wang Zhen, Liu Wei briefly browsed it, and his brows tightened.
Although it was good news, it was far from what he hoped for.
Liu Bei was not ambushed, let alone captured by the Han army, but he led a team of personal soldiers to successfully leave the battlefield, and the Han army could not pursue.
After surrounding Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Sima Yi adopted the strategy of distributing military rations in an attempt to drive a wedge between the two and Liu Bei.
Knowing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were loyal to Liu Bei, after reading the good news, the corners of Liu Fei's mouth twitched, and he said with a slight smile: "Zhongda really thinks too much!" â
As soon as he said this, the ministers and generals in the hall glanced at each other, and everyone didn't understand the meaning of his words.
Holding the good news, Liu Wei handed it to Tian Feng, who was standing at the forefront.
Bowing forward, Tian Feng took the good news and glanced at it, and then handed it to Cheng Yu on the side.
Everyone circulated to each other, and it wasn't until everyone in the hall had finished reading the good news that Liu Wei asked them: "Zhongda intends to trap Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and wait until the two of them are physically and mentally exhausted, and then find a reason to let them go." In the future, they instigated it, causing the two to betray Liu Bei. What do you think? â
Liu Wei asked such a question, and everyone in the hall looked at each other at first, but did not speak.
After a slight groan, Tian Feng clenched his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this plan is not feasible!" â
"Why?" Turning his head to look at Tian Feng, Liu Wei asked him.
"In his early years, he had several encounters with Liu Bei and others." Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Tian Feng said: "That Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are extremely loyal to Liu Bei!" The two always thought that Liu Bei and them had formed a righteous alliance in Taoyuan, and they were absolutely undisobedient in this life. It is precisely because of this that the minister thinks that even if Liu Bei does not live with the two, the two will definitely not switch to His Majesty! â
"Majesty!" As soon as Tian Feng's voice fell, Xun Yu, who had only been serving Liu Bei for a short time, strode to the middle of the main hall, saluted Liu Wei and said: "Your Majesty captured us earlier, and I also thought that we would not be effective, and now the leader of the army to fight with Liu Bei is the old department of Cao Gong!" If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can be captured, after His Majesty kills Liu Bei, how can these two not surrender? â
Turning his gaze to Xun Yu, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, and he nodded slowly and said, "If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are surrendered, I am afraid that it will not be easy to fight from the middle." There are only two things that I think about. One is to kill these two people, so as not to become enemies of our Han soldiers on the battlefield in the future! The second is to capture these two people and no longer make them available to Liu Bei! â
"Your Majesty is wise!" Liu Wei's decision not only gave Tian Feng steps, but also did not disobey Xun Yu's intentions, and the civil and military forces in the hall got up together, hugged their fists and bowed in praise.
"Someone!" There was no objection from everyone, and Liu Wei shouted outside the hall.
One of the guards strode into the main hall and bowed to face him with his fists clenched.
His eyes fell on the guard, and Liu Wei said to him: "Immediately send someone to Bowang and inform Sima Yi that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei do not want to be released!" If I can't capture it alive, even if it's dead, I'll do it! â
"No!" In response, the guard turned and left the main hall.
Looking at the back of the guards leaving, the expression on Liu Wei's face was indifferent.
The reason why Liu Bei was able to run around, gather strength everywhere, and compete with the world's heroes for hegemony was none other than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Killing them, with Liu Bei, is really not enough to make Liu Wei have any scruples about him.
Bowang is not very far from Luoyang.
Two or three days later, Sima Yi got Liu Bian's will.
Knowing that Liu Wei intended to kill Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Sima Yi felt a little sorry in his heart, but at the same time, he also sighed that although Liu Wei loved talents, he was different from Cao Cao.
Cao Cao loved Cai, and he couldn't bear to kill Guan Yu back then, so he didn't want to escort his sister-in-law to Liu Bei.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stayed by Liu Bei's side, which was really a scourge for Liu Wei, and if they were killed, Liu Bei would not be worth mentioning in the future.
Taking a deep breath, Sima Yi was about to give the order to the army to trap the Jingzhou army in the valley, when a cavalry rushed out from behind the array.
The cavalry passed through the array behind Sima Yi and went straight to a place only three or four steps away from him, reined in the war horse, clenched his fists and said to him: "Master Qi, there is a Jingzhou army, which is marching towards our army!" â
Knowing that a Jingzhou army had appeared behind him, Sima Yi frowned and asked the pro-soldier, "Where did the enemy army come from?" How many centaurs are there? â
"But only two or three thousand!" Maintaining a fist-hugging posture, the cavalry said: "The leader of the army is like Mi Zhu and Mi Fang!" â
"Mi Zhu and Mi Fang are leading the army?" He waved his hand to the cavalry who reported the news, and when the cavalry left, he turned his head to look at Yu Ban and said, "Could it be that they want to relieve the siege of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with such a small number of troops?" â
Yu Ban shook his head, also at a loss.
He didn't speak, and the actions of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were really a little beyond his cognition.
"Someone!" Yu Ban did not respond, and Sima Yi shouted to the soldiers behind him.
A soldier rode two steps forward on a warhorse, clenching his fists and waiting for him to give the order.
Looking at the Bowang Valley, Sima Yi was silent for a moment, and said to the pro-soldiers: "Closely monitor Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to see how they move." â
"No!" The pro-soldiers responded, turned the war horse, and An rejected Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to watch.
After the soldiers left, Yu Ban said to Sima Yi: "Zhong Da, I think that it is better for a certain leader to go to meet Mi Zhu and Mi Fang!" â
Lowering his eyelids, Sima Yi thought about it, and finally shook his head and said, "Don't be busy with the war, see what the two brothers are going to say!" â
Sima Yi didn't plan to fight immediately, and Yu Ban didn't want to say anything, so he had to turn his gaze to Bowang Valley.
"Zhong Da intends to release Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but His Majesty wants to kill them!" Looking at the valley, Yu Ban sighed lightly and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty does, Duke Cao was a great reward to Guan Yu back then. â
"There's nothing wrong with your majesty being careful!" Smiling slightly, Sima Yi said: "It's a mistake to think earlier, that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have eight friendships with Liu Bei, and it is difficult to recruit these two people." Back then, Duke Cao was so kind to Guan Yu, didn't Guan Yu take Mrs. Liu Bei to Hebei to find Liu Bei? â
Saying these things from Sima Yi's mouth, Yu Ban also felt some emotion in his heart.
If Guan Yu hadn't turned his back on Cao Cao and went back to find Liu Bei, they might have all become generals under Liu Wei by now.
But Guan Yu did not choose to stay, but went to Hebei without looking back, so that everyone in the world knew that Liu Bei's two brothers would never turn their backs on him.
Liu Wei planned to kill Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, perhaps for this reason.
"Pass the order down, trap the valley, and don't let any Jingzhou army leave!" Looking at the Bowang Valley, Sima Yi instructed the other soldiers behind him: "Tell General Xiahou that if there is a Jingzhou army to surrender, please ask General Xiahou to take it in, just to strictly prevent the Jingzhou army from surrendering, don't have trouble behind it!" â
Several of his own soldiers responded, and one of them turned around his war horse, rode his horse and ran out of the array, bypassing Bowang, and rushed to Xiahoudun's military camp to convey Sima Yi's intention to him.
After Sima Yi's order was given, the Han army outside the valley immediately changed its formation, and the encirclement of the valley deepened.
On the top of the mountain, Guan Yu looked at the Han army that was changing formations at the bottom of the mountain, took a deep breath, and lost a little confidence in breaking through the encirclement.
Perennial leading the army to fight, although Guan Yu is not good at arranging troops and strategizing, but he is not a stranger to the array, from the transformation of the Han army's array, he can see that the Jingzhou army on the mountain wants to break through, will face a more rapid counterattack by the Han army.
