In 219, Cao Cao took his wife Bian as the queen, and there were not many people who became a maid from the queen, and even fewer people who became queens from a maid, Mrs. Bian was born as a maid, and it was not easy to become Cao Cao's queen, and it was precisely because of her low background that she became the target of the trolls through the ages. [][]. [].]

Sun Quan saw that Liu Bei had exploded Cao Cao's chrysanthemums and seized Hanzhong, not to be outdone, and continued to send troops to Hefei and advance northward. This is called robbing while the fire is hot, Cao and Liu are both well versed in this, and Sun Quan, a junior, also learns quickly.

As soon as Cao Cao saw that Sun Quan was coming, he immediately transferred troops from various states to Huainan to resist Sun Quan. Wen Hui saw this situation and said to Pei Qian: "Although Sun Quan is here, there will be no big problem, now that the river is rising, Zixiao's side is hanging deep, the troops have been partially transferred, Guan Yu is cunning, I'm afraid something will happen." ”

Zixiao is naturally Cao Ren, and the commanders of Cao Cao's armies in all aspects are all from the Cao family, and others can't believe it. Located in Hanzhong, Yizhou, it was Xiahou Yuan who was in charge of the western military, and Cao Ren, who was in charge of the southern military in Jingzhou.

Sure enough, as Wen Hui expected, Guan Yu saw that there was an opportunity, and immediately took Mi Fang as the southern county guard, guarded Jiangling, and guarded the public security base camp with the general Fu Shiren, and then took all his men and horses to march north to attack Cao Ren.

As the first fierce general of Cao Ying, although Cao Ren's soldiers were transferred, he was not afraid of Guan Yu, in his life Cao Ren, in addition to losing to Zhou Yu, who else had he lost to?

Cao Ren asked the left general Yu Ban, the Liyi general Pang De and others to lead the troops to the north of Fancheng, and he himself guarded Fancheng. The two sides are in the shape of horns, defending against enemy forces. Although it is very well arranged, it is unfortunate that luck will not work. When the two armies were holding each other, it suddenly rained heavily, and the water of the Han River swelled, flattening the ground for several feet, and Yu Ban and other seven armies were all flooded.

Seeing that the camp was flooded, Yu Ban and the others could only run to a high place to avoid the flood. When Guan Yu saw that the enemy had been flooded, he was overjoyed and launched a fierce attack on a large ship. Yu Ban and the others had just swam out of the water. See Guan Yu's big ship. Where can you still fight, you can only surrender. Only Pang De stood on the river embankment, held by a bow, and swore to resist Guan Yu to the death.

As a fierce general from Xiliang. Pound is a great one. Brave Crown. Later, Ma Teng went to serve as a guard lieutenant. Pang De followed Ma Chao, and when Ma Chao defected to Liu Bei from Zhang Lu, he did not take Pang De. Pang De also surrendered to Cao Cao when Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao.

Pang De's brother Pang Rou followed Ma Chao to Liu Bei, so the generals of Cao Ying doubted Pang De's loyalty and did not trust him, Pang De was very depressed about this matter, and often said that if I don't kill Guan Yu, I should be killed by Guan Yu, and I will never surrender!

Sure enough, this time Pang De did not break his promise, he did not miss the arrow, from the morning to noon, Guan Yu's army attacked more and more urgently, his army shot all the arrows, and could only meet in short arms. As the water rose higher and higher, Pound's men began to surrender, but Pound himself refused to surrender and took a small boat to escape back to Cao Ren's side. As a result, the wind was too strong and the boat capsized, so he could only float in the water with the boat in his arms, and was finally captured by Guan Yu.

Guan Yu saw Pang De and said unhappily: "Your brother will follow us, I also want to reuse you, why do you fight with me for so long, don't you surrender early?" ”

When Pang De heard Guan Yu's words, he immediately scolded: "King Wei has a million armor, and he is powerful in the world, how can a fool like Liu Bei be an opponent, I would rather be a ghost for the country than a general for a thief!" ”

Guan Yu saw that Pang De was so ignorant of lifting, so he cut him. Cao Cao heard that Pang De sacrificed his life for the country, and cried: "I have known Yu Ban for 30 years, but I didn't expect that in times of crisis, he would be inferior to Pang De!" ”

In fact, before this battle, among Cao Cao's five good generals, the best was Yu Ban. Yu Ban followed Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin at first, and after Bao Xin's death, he followed Cao Cao, and Cheng Yu and others were Cao Cao's second batch of descendants, second only to Xun Yu, Chen Gong and others who followed Cao Cao when they were in Dongjun. Among the five sons, Xu Huang followed the emperor, while Zhang Liao and Zhang He were the generals of Lu Bu and Yuan Shao respectively, and the degree of reuse was far less than that of the ban.

The only person who can talk about qualifications with Yu Ban is Le Jin, but Le Jin is very short, ugly, and has no appearance as a famous general. It is said in the history books that the good generals of the time, the five sons are the first, and the most resolute in the ban, but unfortunately the late season is not guaranteed. After the fall of the ban, the first of the five sons became Zhang Liao, who made miraculous achievements in Hefei, and he had no share.

The seven armies of Yu Ban were all flooded, and Guan Yu led troops to attack Fancheng urgently, and Fancheng was also flooded, collapsing everywhere, and there were only thousands of people in the city, and people were panicking. Many people advised Cao Ren to flee by boat quickly to avoid being captured by Guan Yu. But how can Guan Yu's level be compared with Zhou Yu, it is still impossible to force Cao Ren to abandon the city and escape. Cao Renshen swore an oath with the soldiers, stuck to it with one heart, and swore not to escape or surrender.

On the other side, Guan Yu killed Pang De, captured the Wei army's most bullish name general, and besieged Cao Ren, the first fierce man of the Cao family, the news came, the entire Wei country was turbulent, since the south of Xudu, many people responded to Guan Yu, Guan Yu shocked China.

Xu Du is too close to Jingzhou, just north of Nanyang County Yingchuan County, Cao Cao used to be very uneasy, every day to play Zhang embroidery, and later got the whole Nanyang, only a little more relieved. This time, Guan Yu surrounded Cao Ren, and Nanyang was almost in a precarious situation, and Cao Cao immediately discussed with his subordinates whether to move the capital.

Sima Yi and Jiang Ji said to Cao Cao: "Yu Ban and the others were submerged by the flood, not because there is a problem with the strategy, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, although they seem to be very close, but in fact they are not, Guan Yu is so ambitious, Sun Quan must be unhappy." We can persuade Sun Quan to copy Guan Yu's back road, and tell Sun Quan that he can divide Jiangnan to him, and as long as Sun Quan sends troops, Fancheng can automatically break the siege. ”

So Cao Cao wrote a letter, and Sun Quan saw Cao Cao's letter and immediately discussed it with Lü Meng.

Lu Meng saw that Guan Yu was brave and strong, and he had already intended to be in the picture, but he had no chance, and he also persuaded Sun Quan to take Jingzhou.

Sun Quan said: "Now Guan Yu's momentum is very good, I am ready to take advantage of Cao Cao's rush to capture Xuzhou, what do you think?" ”

Lu Meng said: "Cao Cao is far away in Jizhou, Hebei, and Jingzhou has an accident again, so there will definitely be no time to look east, and there are not many guards in Xuzhou, so it can be done." But the roads in Xuzhou extend in all directions, suitable for cavalry, the Supreme is in hand today, Cao Cao will come to fight in a month, even if we mobilize 70,000 or 80,000 people to garrison, the result is difficult to say. It is better to take Guan Yu in the west, according to the Yangtze River, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, it is really the way to be perfect. ”

Sun Quan felt that what Lu Meng said was good, and discussed with him how to take it.

In fact, Lü Meng was not by Sun Quan's side, but was stationed in Jingzhou, and the discussion between the two was carried out by letter. Lü Meng wrote again: "Guan Yu besieged Fancheng, but left a lot of soldiers at home, he must be afraid that I would attack him." I have often been sick, now in the name of cure, with a part of the soldiers back to Jianye, Guan Yu heard, must be the family guards to transfer away, all the siege of Fancheng, and then our army secretly galloped day and night, floating up the river, attacking its emptiness, then Nanjun can be captured by Guan Yu. ”

So Lü Meng wrote that he was going to die of illness, Sun Quan pretended to make a gesture and summoned Lü Meng back to Jianye for medical treatment, and the news was not kept secret, but deliberately leaked out.

When Lü Meng returned to Beijing with a part of his soldiers and walked to Wuhu, he met Lu Xun. Lu Xun saw Lu Meng coming back with troops, and asked strangely: "Guan Yu is so close to us, you also drew so many soldiers back to Jianye, aren't you afraid of problems?" ”

Lu Meng sighed: "What you said is good, but I am already too sick to die." ”

Lu Xun said: "Guan Yu is arrogant, and he has made great achievements, and he is even more arrogant. When we hear that you are sick, we will inevitably give up our vigilance, and we will definitely be able to capture him. When you go back to Jianye and see the Supreme, you have to talk about it. ”

Lu Meng was afraid that the news would be revealed, so he still didn't dare to tell Lu Xun, but said: "Guan Yu is brave and invincible, and he has been in Jingzhou for a long time, and he has made great achievements in the past few days, and his courage is strong, which is not so easy to do." ”

After chatting with Lu Xun, Lu Meng returned to the capital Jianye, and Sun Quan immediately asked: "Now that you have withdrawn your troops and come back, who will we send to replace you?" ”

Lu Meng said: "Lu Xun, this guy is very smart and enough to take on great responsibilities, but now he has no fame at all, Guan Yu will not take him seriously, there is no better candidate than him." ”

So Sun Quan summoned Lu Xun and asked him to lead troops to replace Lu Meng, Lu Xun took over Lu Meng's class, and immediately wrote to Guan Yu, pretending to be his grandson, completely ignorant of military affairs, for fear that Guan Yu would come over.

When Guan Yu saw Lu Xun's letter, he was even more careless, and withdrew a lot of Jingzhou's defenders to reinforce the front line.

However, at this time, the two sides had not turned their faces yet, because Sun Quan was still embarrassed. The reason that caused Sun Quan to turn his face was provoked by Guan Yu, Guan Yu got tens of thousands of troops under Yu Ban, but there was no food for the soldiers. What should I do if I run out of food? So he went to rob Sun Quan's grain.

Sun Quan originally wanted to find a reason to fight Guan Yu, but when he saw that he sent troops to grab food, he was polite, so Lu Meng went up the river and sent troops.

In fact, the generals are out on the march, and the guards are generally credible people. Like Cao Cao's side, Xiahou Yuanshou in the west, and Cao Renshou in the middle, although Xiahou Yuan was defeated by Huang Zhong and his head was different, but it was also defeated, and there would be no problem with loyalty.

Liu Bei's side, although he does not have relatives like Cao Cao to believe, Guan Yu is still worth believing. Now that Guan Yu is leading the troops, the people guarding Nanjun have become Mi Fang.

Can Mi Fang be trusted? Theories can also be absolutely trusted. He was originally Peng Chengxiang, a high-powered, and too guarded figure, but he abandoned his family and business with his brother Mi Zhu and followed Liu Bei. Cao Cao asked him to re-serve as Peng Chengxiang, but he didn't go, only followed Liu Bei, endured hardships and suffered crimes, and he was really a revolutionary father. Mi Zhu is on the right of Zhuge Liang under Liu Bei, Mi Fang is not bad, Nanjun is too guarded, guarding Jiangling. (To be continued......)
