Chapter 93: Good Feelings
Cao Zhen originally stayed in Wancheng, and suddenly got Cao Cao's secret order to regain Shangyong, Shangyong was originally the city under his jurisdiction, Cao Ren asked for help in Xiangyang before, Xu Huang went to help, Wancheng and Xinye Ping Pong were insufficient, so Liu Beijun easily took away Shangyong, Cao Zhen - straight grudge.
This time he got a secret order, I heard that Dongwu was preparing to seize Nanjun, Jingzhou had changed, Xu Huang and Cao Ren had jointly broken through the siege, Guan Yu would be defeated, he was relieved, and immediately sent a table tennis to take Shangyong, Shangyong City was already far away, and it was just occupied by Liu Bei's army and now it is going to be recaptured.
Shangyong has just been occupied, underprepared, and isolated, it is a good opportunity for revenge, it should be effortless to take Shangyong, originally he felt that 20,000 table tennis horses were enough, but Cao Cao asked him to bring 50,000 fine table tennis, almost Wancheng table tennis horses were empty, it seems that the momentum of Shangyong is bound to win.
Just thinking about how the battle in Jingzhou was going, he heard a report from Tan Ma, "Report to the general!" You have reached the territory of Shangyong, please decide!"
Cao Zhen nodded, Shen Sui ordered, and said, "Pass the order, set up camp five hundred meters outside the city!"
The herald said, "General, there is a very strange thing, please be aware of it!"
Cao Zhen frowned slightly, "What's the strange thing?"
The herald replied, "My subordinates just went to check, and there seems to be no garrison on Shangyong City, and the city gate is wide open, so there is no defense!"
"Huh?" Cao Zhen was stunned, although he said that he was moving quickly, but it was impossible for the other party to completely ignore that he was coming to attack the city, this is 50,000 people, even if it is 3,000 people, the sentry will also be aware of it, and asked in disbelief, "Can you see the truth?"
"General Hui, when the little one watched half a cup of tea under the city, there was no movement in the city, and there were still people playing in the city, and there were only a few small table tennis at the city gate cleaning the streets."
Cao Zhen's brows became more and more wrinkled, he had been fighting with Ping Pong for decades, and he had never seen such a strange thing before, and he secretly felt that something was wrong in his heart.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately gave an order, saying, "Order the army to rest on the spot, not to dismount, prepare for battle at any time, and wait for a certain person to go and check it out in person!"
Cao Zhen came to Shangyong City with a few lieutenant generals and three thousand vanguard troops, the more he walked forward, the deeper the doubts in his heart, Shangyong really opened the city gate, there were only a few people on the city wall, and the patrolling guards could not be seen.
What's even more strange is that there are two big flags on the head of the city, in addition to a "Liu" flag, how can there be a "pass"?
There are not many people with the surname Guan in the Shu army, it seems that there is only Guan Yu, could it be that Guan Yu's heir is in the city?
In confusion, he walked forward again, and when he could see the people in the city, Cao Zhen almost exclaimed, and the hand holding the spear trembled slightly.
As the sentry said, I only saw a few soldiers in the passage of the city gate sprinkling water to clean the streets, someone on the city tower playing chess and drinking, and the person on the left - wearing a green robe, with a three-foot long hair, sitting in a precarious position, who else could there be if it wasn't Guan Yu?
"How could Guan Yu appear to be in the middle of nowhere?" Cao Zhenxin sank, looked at the surrounding mountains suspiciously, and felt more and more uneasy in his heart.
Although he hadn't seen it for several years, the heroic aura exuded by the martial artist and Guan Yu's unique costume still made him recognize it, especially that kind of unique aura, which others couldn't disguise.
Behind Guan Yu stood Guan Ping and Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang was holding the Qinglong Glaive Knife, Guan Ping was pouring wine next to him, and he didn't even look at the army coming from outside the city.
Opposite Guan Yu is a young general, the two of them are concentrating on the game, Guan Yu - a glass of wine is brought to the edge of the pipe, and it seems that it has reached a critical juncture.
βThe wind blew, the flags were waved, and the grass and trees on the mountains made a whining sound, Cao Zhen couldn't help but be nervous, but since he came, he couldn't just retreat, he had to test the truth!
glanced at the lieutenant general beside him, asked those people to be careful around him, stepped forward alone, and shouted, "It's General Yunchang in the city?"
Hearing the shouting, Guan Yu suddenly turned around, saw Cao Zhen, stood up, stroked his long hair and laughed, and said, "Who is so popular?" It turned out to be Xiao Dan, I haven't seen him for a few years, so don't come unharmed?"
Cao Zhenzhong-Shen, thinking that this is the real deity, even if the appearance can be disguised, but the voice and form are extremely difficult, Guan Yu was in Cao Ying's time, and Zhang Liao was most familiar, Cao Zhen often went to Zhang Liao's residence, and naturally - the eye can see the truth and falsehood.
The doubts in his heart deepened, and he coughed lightly and asked, "Jun Hou Yingqi is still the same as he was back then, why don't you stay in Jingzhou, but you have reached the mediocrity?"
Above the city, Guan Yu snorted slightly, proudly, and said, "A certain in Jingzhou, there is no decent opponent, Yu Ban, Pang De and the like, but the grass mustard fungus, Xu Huang and Cao Ren also abandoned Xiangyang and retreated to the north of the Han River, I came to Shangyong, naturally I want to fight with Gongming again, I can't think of Xiao Dan but come first!"
Hearing this news, Cao Zhenxin was shocked, before the table tennis, Guan Yu flooded the Forbidden Seventh Army, captured and killed Pang De, Wei Zhenhuaxia, and even Cao Cao had the intention of moving the capital, if Jingzhou was really attacked by Eastern Wu, Xu Huang and Cao Ren were still in Xiangyang, how could Guan Yu have the leisure to come to Shangyong
- Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on my forehead, I was ordered to go out this time, I thought that Shangyong was at my fingertips, but I didn't expect that Xiangyang was lost first, it was likely that Dongwu lost its trust or failed in the sneak attack.
On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, from getting Xuchang's secret order to dispatching table tennis, although he has been fast enough, but it has also been delayed for nearly half a month, who understands what Jingzhou is now investigating, if Guan Yu sees the empty space in the rear, the consequences are unimaginable!
Cao Zhenhu looked at the city suspiciously, there were no banners and horses, and then he looked at the grass and trees on the hill shaking, could it be that he was ambushed outside the city?
Thinking about it, he was even more uneasy in his heart, it was impossible to kill into the city, he didn't understand the situation in the city, and Guan Yu was at the head of the city, so he didn't have the courage to kill it.
When he was thinking about it, he heard Guan Yu say again, "In the past, Meng De treated a certain person like a guest, Guan Mou was grateful, and now he said that since Xiao Dan is here, why not go into the city?" A little wine here to show my gratitude!"
Cao Zhen saw Guan Yu holding the glass of wine and handed it over, and suddenly felt a huge pressure rushing to his face, not because Guan Yu was so powerful, but because Guan Yu's confident demeanor made the uneasiness in his heart worse and worse.
"Xiao Dan, I'm Guan - Yan Jiuding, I will never harm you, you see that I have ordered people to clean the streets to meet the generals, why are you so hesitant?"
Seeing that Cao Zhen didn't answer, Guan Yu snorted, as if he was displeased, put down his wine glass, and threw down the sleeves of his robe, "It seems that Xiao Dan is willing to enter the city only if I greet him personally, so Guan has to go down to the city."
Cao Zhen saw that Guan Yu turned around and wanted to go down to the city, and suddenly he was in a false heart, Guan Yu was deliberately delaying in his words just now, but now he was in a hurry to go down to the city, and it was very likely that he was arranging a Fu Ping.
Seeing Guan Yu get up, Cao Zhen didn't reply, turned his horse's head and shouted, "Withdraw!"
The three thousand horsemen retreated violently under the leadership of Cao Zhen, and the hooves outside Shangyong City were suddenly ringing and the dust was flying.
Guan Yu walked to the entrance of the stairs and turned back, Danfeng's eyes shone with cold light, sighed, and said, "Cao Jun is in order, even if he retreats, he is still so orderly, and he should strengthen the training of fine table tennis in the future."
Mei Changsheng nodded thoughtfully, he thought that Kou Wei's people were good at riding table tennis, but when he saw Cao Zhen's table tennis horse today, he understood what a real fine horse was.
"Second uncle, time is running out, let's evacuate immediately!" The things in the city were not cleaned up, Mei Changsheng, Guan Yu and others got out of the city building, and left Shangyong with the remaining Shiping.
On the road, Guan Yu's mood seemed to be much happier, and he laughed, "I didn't expect that the virtuous nephew's plan was so exquisite, and the empty city competition scared Cao Zhen to retreat in a hurry, if this matter spreads, I am afraid that the world will laugh at it."
Mei Changsheng hehe-hehe-laughing, if it wasn't for Zhuge first, how could he come up with such a clever plan, humble, and said, "It's all because of the second uncle Huwei who shook those people, if it's the nephew himself, I'm afraid Cao Zhen will be killed."
After the great changes in Jingzhou, Guan Yu's surname has also changed a lot, and the cold arrogance on his body is completely gone, replaced by a kind of peace, and even he himself feels that his comprehension of martial arts is higher than that of a realm.
In the past few days, Mei Changsheng's recent performance has exceeded what he had heard and seen before, both his temperament and personality are different from before, and his good feelings have increased a lot!
