Chapter 104: The Beginning of the Edge
With Guan Yu's safe return to Hanzhong, the battle of Jingzhou can be regarded as an end.
First of all, of course, it was Lu Meng of Eastern Wu, who crossed the river in white clothes, successfully attacked Jingzhou with a strategy, took Nanjun, and captured alive Guan Yu's father and son, who had just been Weizhen Huaxia and had no one to beat him, and everyone was on his side, becoming the second governor of Eastern Wu after Zhou Yu.
The other person is Mei Changsheng, who risked death to save Guan Yu thousands of miles away, risked several times to use tricks, was bold and careful, saw through Cao Cao and Sima Yi's strategy, and after following Liu Bei for several years, he finally showed his edge.
Because of the betrayal of Eastern Wu and the union with Cao Wei, Sun Quan after obtaining Jingzhou, the above table to Cao Cao called the minister, Cao Cao cousin Sun Quan as the ticket cavalry general, false festival, led Jingzhou pastor, Changsheng Nanchang Marquis.
Combined with Cao Cao, the center of gravity of Eastern Wu was all shifted to the Shu army, fearing that Liu Bei would retaliate, the whole army in Jingzhou was on guard, and along the Jingzhou line, from the public security to Zigui, they were all sent to guard the heavy ping.
Liu Bei occupied the Tianyun in Hanzhong, Cao Cao could not overcome the number of attacks, after the failure of Zhang Jaw's surprise attack on Hanzhong, Cao Cao was completely dead for the time being, and he was afraid that Liu Bei would take Wudu Di people in the north and enter the Guanzhong, and more than 50,000 Di people would settle in Fufeng and Tianshui counties to guard against the Shu army.
The Shu army lost Jingzhou, but also the various defense lines to be rearranged, and there is no spare strength to expand outward, that is, it is about to enter the winter, it is the time to recuperate, everyone unanimously stopped the war, prepared for the next year's battle, and at the same time is also assessing the strength and new pattern between each other!
Hundreds of people walked on the way to Shuzhong, Mei Changsheng looked at the narrow winding road and the high peaks on both sides, and couldn't help but feel the magic of nature's creation, looking up, as if the stones on those mountains were about to fall, and even felt that the entire mountain peak was going to be pressed over at any time.
On the other side, there are thousands of cliffs, smoke and mist, and the heart is beating, it is really difficult to fly, and I can't help but look back—Deng Ai, I don't understand what this person who directly crossed Shu Mountain with hundreds of people and smashed Chengdu Huanglong will have in his heart now?
Going deep into the mountains and dangerous roads, I only heard Guan Yu say, "In Jingzhou, I often heard that the Shu Road is difficult, but I never thought that it would be such a frightening place, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack."
Mei Changsheng felt the same way, nodded and sighed, "Yes, it's difficult to go to the blue sky!"
"Is it hard to get to the sky?" Liu Bei heard it next to him and couldn't help but praise, "This sentence can be said to be in the language, Lone has sighed for the hardships of Shu Road, but he can't find a suitable word, and he can't find a suitable word.
Mei Changsheng couldn't help but blush, if he could have studied hard back then, maybe he could still think of Li Bai's "Shu Dao Difficulty" now, but unfortunately now he is also half-hanging, so he has to give up!
Autumn is high and cool, the weather is not bad, if it is windy and rainy, on such a mountain road, it is really difficult to move an inch, and the second evening came to the world-famous Jiamengguan!
Looking from afar, Jiameng Pass lies in the middle of two high mountain peaks, there are thousands of peaks on both sides, there is no other way, and Jiameng Pass is also built higher than the general city wall, close the guard and look down on the narrow mountain road, the enemy has nothing to hide!
Guan Yu sighed, "If this Jiameng Guan faction has a strong general to defend it, a thousand people can block a hundred thousand troops!"
Liu Bei said with a smile, "That's right, such a dangerous pass abounds in Shuzhong, if it weren't for the assistance of Sergeant Shu back then, it would have been really not easy to take this Yizhou!"
Guan Yu asked, "Is there anything more important than this Jia Meng Pass?"
Liu Bei nodded and said, "There is also a Dao Jian, which is even more dangerous than this, it is really a husband, and it is not open!"
Guan Yu was slightly stunned, he had heard of it before, but this time he saw it with his own eyes, and he realized how difficult it was for Liu Bei to enter Xichuan, the sunset was falling, and the autumn breeze was sluggish, and he couldn't help asking, "I don't know how many days I will be able to reach Chengdu, but I really miss the third brother!"
"After the Jiameng Pass is the Sword Pavilion, hurry up and whip up, you can get to Zitong in five days, and it will not be far from Chengdu!" Liu Bei knocked his horse's belly lightly, sped up his speed, and comforted Guan Yu and said, "Second brother Hugh should be anxious, although the three of my brothers have seen each other for many years, but after the Jiameng Pass, the journey will be much easier, and the journey can be accelerated!"
Guan Yu nodded and said, "Okay, then let's not rest in Jiameng Pass, let's talk about it in Zitong!"
Liu Bei also understood that Guan Yu was anxious, and it was all within his own sphere of influence, so there should be no danger, so he ordered everyone to speed up, not caring about Huo Jun's retention, and rushing directly to Zitong through Jiameng Pass!
- On the road, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, almost without any delay, Guan Yu seemed to be like an arrow, anxious to see Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei walked in front, only the sound of horses' hooves echoed in the mountain road.
Looking at Liu Bei's gray beard, the wrinkles between his sideburns were clearly visible, and when he saw his long hair flowing in front of Hun Qian, it was not as dark as the thick eyebrows of the year, Guan Yu sighed, "The third brother must be already old, right?"
Liu Bei was stunned, he didn't expect Guan Yu to be a hero, proud of the world, and Jingran would also have the feeling of being a hero, and said, "Yes, now we are really old, we only hate the end of the great cause, and we are worthy of Your Majesty's trust, and the big things in the future will still be handed over to these juniors to complete!"
Guan Yu stroked his long hair, grabbed the wisp of beard and groaned for a long time, regained his former temperament, and smiled, "Although the years have left traces on you and me, my bones can still be used to kill the enemy!"
Liu Bei nodded and smiled, "That's natural, the second brother and the third brother are all ten thousand generals, although they have reached the age of not being confused, but the young generation, there are really few people who can be higher or lower than the second brother, and they are always good at the same time."
Guan Yu smiled when he heard this, looked back at Mei Changsheng and Guan Pingren, and said, "But this also shows that the young generation is not very useful, and it should be carefully cultivated.
Liu Bei's eyes were slightly cold, and he lowered his voice and said, "When I was going to establish a world, the second brother once said that the children of the moth cannot be orthodox, if he works too much in the future, will he become a hidden danger in the future?"
Guan Yu frowned slightly, groaned, and said, "According to my observation in the past half month, the benefits seem to have changed greatly, the previous irritable impulses have disappeared, but are calm and calm, and never mention the matter of the world, I heard rumors in the army, he also persuaded Meng Da, maybe he has the heart of the Duke of Zhou, and it can be known in the end, if this is the case, wouldn't it be a great luck for my Shu army?"
Liu Bei also nodded and said, "It seems that this matter has to be discussed in the long run, and when I see the third brother, I will discuss it with him later, and then ask the opinions of the military master and the dragon!"
Guan Yu nodded and said, "That's right, although he has a life-saving grace for me, but for the sake of long-term planning, it's better to be cautious!"
Liu Bei sighed softly, didn't say anything, since his status has become higher and higher, family affection, human affection and ordinary happiness seem to be far away from him, called a lonely widow, and he has really become a lonely person, it is really a high place!
The third day finally came to the vicinity of the Sword Pavilion, and it was several times more dangerous than Jia Meng Pass, which was hopeless and timid, Guan Yu looked at the Sword Pavilion from afar, and couldn't help but walk in front alone, looking at this Xiongguan, giving people an insurmountable sense of frustration!
When I was observing, I suddenly saw the door open, and more than a thousand people poured out from it, waving flags and waving flags, people and horses, and people and horses were in the lead—people with white horses and white robes, holding spears, and the momentum was unruly, and the wind was majestic.
Could it be that Zhao Yun is here? Mei Changsheng couldn't help but be excited in his heart, although these famous generals were already old, but in his heart, they were all legendary-level figures, no matter what age, they were all heroic and heroic, not to mention that Zhao Yun was still in his seventies and could still go north to the Central Plains, at this time he should still be very strong.
The silver-armored general was coming here, and Guan Yu in front of him suddenly burst out with an awe-inspiring momentum, the robe was windless and automatic, and it swelled up, only to see him lightly lifting the reins of the horse with one hand, the Qinglong Yanyue knife was raised obliquely, and the horse under the crotch felt the master's vigorous fighting spirit, and the long neighing sound spread out the four hooves and rushed directly over!
