After Sun Quan agreed to surrender, Cao Ren led his troops to retreat to Jiangxia County for repairs and waited for Cao Cao's new instructions, and at the same time expanded some of the surrendered Eastern Wu officers and soldiers who were willing to stay in the Wei army, and stepped up training and preparations.

Time flies really fast, since the defeat of Xu Du, more than two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and now it is almost June, they have also rested here for half a month, and they have not yet received the order of Prime Minister Cao Cao to send troops to attack Liu Bei, so Cao Ren and their army can only stand by in place.

At this moment, Li Yong was anxious, because the energy provided by the nuclear battery on the "Crossing" was only one year, and once the nuclear fuel was used up, the "Crossing" would lose its power and function, and according to the current situation, there were only more than three months left to fight and return from the crossing, so it was necessary to seize the time to attack Xishu Liu Bei, otherwise the mission would not be completed.

Thinking of this, Li Yong was very anxious, so he came to Zhang He and told him about the situation, hoping that he could suggest to Cao Ren to act as soon as possible.

This Zhang He was also very anxious, and he also knew that without Li Yong's support, it would be difficult to defeat Liu Bei and them with his own strength, and even if he could win, he would have to pay a huge price.

Zhang He anxiously pulled Li Yong to Cao Ren, the big tent of the Chinese army, and asked for a military meeting, so Cao Ren immediately sent someone to summon the other generals to the big tent of the Chinese army.

First of all, Zhang He said: "Report to General Cao!" The weather will also be hot, and the flood season of the Yangtze River will also approach, when the water level will rise, which will seriously affect our marching operations; Now that our soldiers are highly motivated, please immediately send troops to attack Jingzhou County occupied by Liu Bei, seize its fields and cities, and strive to unify the world as soon as possible. ”

Cao Ren was also very anxious, so he said: "The general has not yet received the order of the prime minister to attack Xishu, how can the prime minister blame him if he acts without authorization?" ”

Li Yong said: "The general is the general of the southern hussars appointed by the prime minister, and now our army has won many battles, and the soldiers are full of fighting spirit, and Shu has lost the power of Eastern Wu, so it can only resist our army alone, please order the general to attack Liu Bei immediately, and destroy his forces in one go." ”

"The future people are reasonable, we can't wait any longer now, so we will lose the fighter, please the general immediately attack Shu Liu, and unify the world as soon as possible!" All the generals present shouted in unison.

Seeing that everyone asked to send troops now, Cao Ren also made up his mind, so he said in a loud voice: "The generals will listen to the order and immediately send troops to attack Jingzhou County in Xishu!" ”

On June 2, 216 AD, Cao Ren led an expanded army of 180,000 (known as 300,000 troops) from Jiangxia County in Jiangdong to Jingzhou in the southwestern Shu Kingdom.

A probe had already reported to Guan Yunchang, who was guarding Jingzhou, and informed him that this crusade was the future people to assist the Wei army in the action, and had conquered Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, and now Cao Renqin led an army of 300,000 to Jingzhou to kill.

At present, there are only more than 30,000 troops in Jingzhou City, in addition to Guan Yu, there are only a few generals such as Guan Ping, Liao Hua and Mi Fang, and the situation is very critical, so Guan Yu immediately convened a pre-war meeting to study countermeasures.

First of all, Guan Ping said: "Father: This time the Wei army came to crusade with the assistance of the future people, and the weapons they used were extremely brave, and in less than half a day, they broke through the Yangtze River carefully defended by Eastern Wu, and conquered the Jiangxia county town held by Lu Meng on the same day, and then forced Sun Quan to surrender in less than two months. Now Cao Wei's allied army of 300,000 is coming, and the morale of his army is booming. ”

Liao Hua and Mi Fang, as well as other deputy generals and partial generals, who were present, exchanged heads and talked about each other in the audience: "Yes, this time the Cao Wei coalition army is menacing, and my Jingzhou City is in danger. ”

Guan Yu looked at his subordinates majestically, seeing that they were all demoralized, their faces were timid, and he angrily slapped the table and pointed to the Qinglong Glaive Knife he had on the weapon rack and roared loudly: "You want to grow the strength of others and destroy your own prestige!" I want the old man to ride alone for thousands of miles, and go five levels to kill six generals to shock the world! Now that a few future thieves dare to offend me, then I have to ask if this Qinglong Glaive Knife will agree! ”

The other people were also startled when they saw Guan Yu getting angry, Mi Fang hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one leg, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "The general is not cowardly, the weapon used by this future person is not the weapon in our hands, it is said that the last time General Zhao Zilong went to Xudu to compete with the future people, and both battles were defeated, so I should pay attention to it and come up with a countermeasure, otherwise it will not help if I am brave." ”

So the others also stepped forward and bent down with their hands and clenched their fists: "Yes! General Guan, if we are not timid and afraid of war, it is actually the future people who are extremely powerful. Thinking that the city wall of Jiangxia County was extremely strong, and there were more than 30,000 elite soldiers led by Lu Meng to defend it, but he didn't expect that it would be broken by it in an hour, and the soldiers defending the city suffered heavy casualties, and General Lu Meng had to retreat from other city gates and flee. ”

"Oh! How powerful will people be in the future? How could such a tall wall be broken through so quickly? Guan Yu asked in astonishment.

Liao Hua stepped forward and continued: "Report to the general: The last general heard that the people of the future did not know what magical weapons to use, and the sound of thunder collapsed the city gate, and then the people of the future rushed into the city from the collapsed gate in a car that could walk on its own and resemble a turtle. What's even more amazing is that the turtle car is invulnerable, the speed is extremely fast, and it rushed into the Jiangxia Mansion in a blink of an eye, and the weapon in the hands of the future man is even more powerful, hundreds of steps away from it, but listening to its voice, everyone is knocked down by it, and they can't get close at all. ”

"Oops! The people of the future are really powerful! It seems that we can't go out of the city to engage them in close quarters! By the way, as you just said, the future man broke into the city through the city gate, so we will widen the moat, and then pull up the drawbridge in front of the city gate, hang the battle free card, and hold the city for help.

So Guan Yu ordered Mi Fang to lead people to dig and widen the moat outside Jingzhou overnight and then introduce the river water; Then he ordered Guan Ping to select 2,000 people with accurate archery to climb the city wall to assist the defender Liao Hua in defense, and he personally led 5,000 elite soldiers as mobile soldiers and horses.

He also arranged for a fast horse to send a letter to Liu Bei, asking him to send troops to help. In this way, Guan Yu led the 30,000 horses in Jingzhou City to act, and they were ready to meet the attack of Cao Wei's coalition army.

At about five o'clock in the morning of that day, Zhang He's forward troops got up early for breakfast, and then set out for camp. This time, it was Li Yong who served as the vanguard, but for safety reasons to prevent the Shu army from setting traps, Zhang He arranged for two hundred cavalry to walk in front of the team, Li Yong and they drove the vehicle to follow, followed by a mighty brigade of men and horses, and people shouted along the way and neighed towards Jingzhou City.

At about ten o'clock in the morning of the same day, they came to a place five miles outside Jingzhou City to stop and bury a pot to cook, and after the meal, everyone rested on the spot, while Li Yong and Zhang He led a team of people to ride horses to inspect the situation outside Jingzhou City.

Li Yong raised his binoculars and looked at the 200-meter-wide moat in front of the city wall, and the turbid river rippled with fine ripples in the wind, which seemed to be temporarily widened, and a high embankment was built on the side of the moat against the city wall.

There was a drawbridge in front of the moat, which had been hoisted by them, and behind the drawbridge was a strong city wall, on which flags were fluttering, and on the top of the wall stood rows of mighty soldiers, who shouted in unison with bows and arrows and other weapons.

Under a tall banner fluttering in the wind with the word "Guan" written on it, stood a tall figure like a general, this person's golden armor shimmered in the sun, his right hand holding a large sword standing beside him, and his left hand holding a beard was looking here, looking majestic.

Li Yong handed the binoculars to Zhang He beside him and said, "This person is Guan Yu stationed here, right?" Zhang He took the telescope handed over by Li Yong and looked at the person on the city wall under Li Yong's guidance, and then nodded: "This person is Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, it seems that they have already prepared." ”

Then they circled around Jingzhou City again and returned to the south gate to stop, Li Yong asked Zhang He to order someone to inform the brigade to rush here immediately to prepare for the siege.

The messengers were swift and brought Zhang He's vanguard troops and Li Yong's "Crossing Ship" to the city of Jingzhou in less than an hour, and Zhang He immediately ordered his troops to form a formation and prepare for the siege.

First of all, Zhang He came to the city and raised his head to Guan Yu on the city wall and shouted loudly: "General Guan above, listen, Liu Beizhi and his ilk, as an imperial uncle, do not think about the society, and he supports the army and divides the country; Now there is a Son of Heaven issued an edict to crusade, by the prime minister ordered us to come to exterminate the traitors, now the Eastern Wu Sun Quan has returned to the imperial court, the world is only left Xishu forces, this will Nian Ru is today's famous general, has been in Huarong Dao has been kind to the prime minister, so today persuade him to see the situation clearly, and that Liu Bei to draw a clear line to return to the court, in the future will enjoy glory and wealth. ”

Guan Yu raised his head and laughed when he heard it: "Is Zhang He a villain under the city? You and the like have not heard of Grandpa Guan's prestige? Such an unknown person dares to shout at your grandfather? Today, there is a general here, and you don't want to break through this city, but the old man is in a good mood today, and he doesn't want to kill, so he should withdraw as soon as possible, otherwise the old man will be angry and regret it, and he will take the head of the people! ”

Zhang He said angrily: "Yun Chang, you don't know how to lift the old horseman!" There are people in the future here to help me attack the city, and it is easy to break this city! But I am thinking of the safety of the people in the city, and I can't bear to hurt the soldiers and civilians in the city. The ancients said: 'Those who know the times are Junjie' hope that General Guan will open the door and surrender as soon as possible, so as not to lose the charcoal. ”

Guan Yu replied with a laugh: "This city is as solid as a rock, and the soldiers and civilians defending the city share the same hatred!" The general has ordered to hold the city and never leave the city to fight, so what ability do you have to break through this city? ”

The two sides fought back and forth like this, and it was delayed for a long time. Li Yong couldn't see it, this Guan Yu didn't seem to want to go out of the city to face the battle, if he forcibly attacked the city, he would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the high embankment behind his moat would prevent the "Crossing" from passing, so it was best to lure them out and wait for them to lower the drawbridge before breaking into the city.

Li Yong rushed to the front of Zhang He from behind and said loudly: "I am the future person, General Guan listened, I heard that you are a loyal and brave general, but in my opinion, the general has no name and is a coward who is afraid of war!" If you really have the ability, can you go out of the city and fight me, I only need one round, and I will definitely be able to capture your arrogant people! ”

Where did this Guan Yu be so humiliated, Guan Ping and Liao Hua beside him told him that this was the radical method of the future people, and he must not be tricked, but no matter how they stopped him, he insisted on going out of the city to fight.

So Guan Ping said to Liao Hua that for his younger brother to guard the city and respond here, Brother Liao will quickly follow his father out of the city to face the battle, and he must protect his father. After that, Guan Ping sent someone to tell Sun Duwei, who was guarding the city gate and guarding the drawbridge, that he would wait for General Guan to leave the city, and if he was defeated and fled back to the city, as soon as he crossed the drawbridge, he would immediately pull up the drawbridge to prevent the Wei army from following them into the city.

Here, Li Yong and Zhang He saw that Guan Yu was going to lead people out of the city to fight, and they were secretly happy. Li Yong immediately called Chen Tao to his side and said to him: "Guan Yu is a famous hero, you can't hurt him, you go to the car and bring the police net trap and shield, I will capture Guan Yu alive." ”

Then he said: Guan Yu will definitely rush over on horseback after leaving the city, you aim at his mount, you must knock his horse down, and when the people behind him want to come to the rescue, you must beat them back, but try to hurt as little as possible. By the way, we must knock out the few people who are going to pull the suspension bridge and prevent them from pulling the suspension bridge up. In addition, tell Wei Hong about them and let them prepare to attack. Later, he told Zhang He to send thirty people to cooperate with him to prepare to capture Guan Yu alive, and then let the other brigades follow up with the "Crossing Number".

As soon as the arrangement was completed, he saw the drawbridge on the opposite side lowered, and then a general rushed out with a tall red rabbit horse, followed by two thousand sergeants.

Guan Yu single-handedly rushed to Li Yong's front and said: "You are a person in the future, the name on the express report, Grandpa Guan's subordinates are immortal!" ”

Li Yong greeted him alone and said: "Listen to General Guan on the other side, my surname is Li Mingyong, I am a person in the future, and I will come here to capture you for a living!" ”

Guan Yu laughed and said: "The nameless junior who has not dried up the milk smell, he still dares to be so rampant, look at how your grandfather Guan takes your head!" After saying that, he beat his horse and raised his knife and rushed over.

Chen Tao, who was standing behind Li Yong, saw it clearly, and raised his gun to Guan Yu's mount, and the war horse that rushed forward fell down at one end, and the huge inertia threw Guan Yu four or five meters in front of the horse at once, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife also flew off Guan Yu's hand.

Seeing Guan Yu fall, Li Yong rushed up and kicked the big knife to the side, and wanted to hold Guan Yu down, but Guan Yu deserved to be a brave general, one turned over and jumped up, and pulled out the long sword on his waist with his right hand to stab Li Yong, seeing Guan Yu's movements so fast, Li Yong didn't dare to slack off, he quickly used the shield in his left hand to resist, and heard the sound of "bell", and the sword that stabbed was pierced on Li Yong's shield and burst out with a spark.

"It's too late, it's too fast," Li Yong turned to the right side while resisting with his shield, flew up with his right foot and kicked at Guan Yu's right hand holding the sword, and immediately kicked his sword and dropped it three or four meters behind him.

That Guan Yu didn't expect this future person to move so quickly, so frightened that he quickly turned around and picked up the sword that fell into the ground; Li Yong saw it clearly, and "banged" his back with the police net trap with his right hand! With a bang, the big net immediately caught Guan Yu.

Li Yong waved his hand back, and the Wei army, who was standing behind him and Zhang He, who had sent to assist, rushed over at once, and held down Guan Yu, who was struggling in the net, and dragged him to the side of the Wei army, and everyone worked together to subdue him.

And the people who were standing behind Guan Yu and ready to answer Guan Yu were all shocked and overwhelmed, and when they reacted, Guan Yu had been captured alive by the Wei army, so they all rushed over to snatch Guan Yu back, but the archers arranged by Zhang He shot them back with a rain of arrows, but there was still a fierce general Liao Hua regardless of life and death, and used his silver gun to constantly hit the flying arrow rain to rush to this side, which frightened the Wei army shooting arrows here to retreat.

Chen Tao saw that this person was so brave, and he admired him very much, but he had to stop him, so he aimed at his calf "Bang!" Another shot knocked him to the ground, and he was later captured by the Wei army.

Those who rushed out with Guan Yu saw that Guan Yu and Liao Hua had been captured by the Wei army, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated to the city. Li Yong saw that the opportunity was coming, and immediately asked Chen Tao to follow them to the suspension bridge, and Sun Duwei, who was responsible for pulling the suspension bridge in the Shu army, saw that his people had crossed the suspension bridge, and quickly ordered the suspension bridge to be pulled up, but it was too late, and those who were ready to pull the suspension bridge were all knocked down by Chen Tao before they could pull it.

After seeing that the drawbridge was not put away, Wei Hong immediately drove over, those Shu troops were closing the city gate, but the "crossing" suddenly knocked down the city gate, those Shu soldiers guarding the city gate saw the invulnerable "turtle car" rushed in, frightened to scatter and flee, gave up resistance.

Chen Tao covered the Wei troops who rushed in with the "Crossing Number", he aimed at the Shu army who were still shooting arrows at the head of the city gate and resisting, and shot him to death, and after a while, those who dared to resist were almost wiped out, so they broke through the defense of Jingzhou City and broke into this rock-solid Jingzhou City.

This is exactly what it is: Cao Ren decisively sent troops again to wave his army to Xishu to capture Jingzhou

Guan Yu defended the city without fighting, but he was unexpectedly captured alive
