Fancheng, the camp of the Han army.

Under Guan Yu's personal deployment, the Han army besieged the eastern, western, and southern gates of Fancheng, and set up ten antlers in the north of the encirclement to resist reinforcements.

After the annihilation of the entire forbidden army, Xu Huang led 20,000 reinforcements to arrive, and fought several battles with Guan Yu, regardless of victory or defeat, but with the arrival of reinforcements from Zhu Gai and Yin Shang one after another, the Wei army had an advantage in numbers and approached step by step.

In order to contain Xu Huang's fierce offensive, Guan Yu ordered Pi to lead 3,000 people led by Lu Dang to be stationed in Weitou, and Yamen general Zhong Rang to lead 3,000 people to be stationed in Sizun, forming a triangular formation with the Chinese army camp and supporting each other.

Xu Huang attacked head-on, was constantly harassed from both sides, and failed to push his position forward, so he decided to pull out Guan Yu's two horns first, and ordered the scouts to release the rumors, and would gather heavy troops to storm the siege within two days.

Guan Yu received the news and believed that it was true, and ordered Liao Hua to gather 5,000 soldiers and horses to stand by, and gallop to help Lu Dang, who was stationed in Weitou, at any time.

"Drive!"

"Drive, drive!"

In the evening, the messenger sent by Guan Suo galloped all the way, and it took half a night and a day to gallop for 500 miles, crossing the Han River, and finally arrived at Guan Yu's camp.

"Quickly report to the army, Jiangling to report urgently, 100,000 urgent!"

The messenger reined in at the camp gate, white mist rising from the nostrils of the mount under his crotch, and the other replacement horse was also exhausted.

The guards guarding the camp gate did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed to the handsome tent to report.

Fifty-eight-year-old Guan Yu had just drunk some thin wine to keep out the cold, and was discussing the next plan with Guan Ping, Liao Hua, Wang Fu, Zhou Cang, Liang Ji, Ma Sheng and other generals in the handsome tent.

"Oh...... An urgent report from Gangneung ordered him to enter the account as soon as possible!"

Guan Ping, Liao Hua and the others all changed their faces slightly when they heard this, and they retreated to the side, not knowing what happened in Jiangling?

The person who came to deliver the letter was a private soldier guarding the Guan Mansion, and he had been with Guan Yu for more than ten years, and Guan Yu recognized it at a glance.

According to common sense, if it was official business in the state, Mi Fang and Pan Jun should have sent a messenger to report it, why did it turn out to be their own private soldiers who came to deliver the letter? Could it be that someone in the mansion was sick?

The messenger came to the handsome bill and knelt on his knees, and presented the letter with both hands: "I am here to deliver urgent information on the orders of General Yide and the eldest son!"

"Yide?"

Guan Yu was even more confused, and he didn't even notice the eldest son mentioned by the messenger at the back, "Isn't Yide in Ba County, why did he appear in Jiangling?

"Back to the prince's words, General Yide arrived in Jiangling the evening before yesterday, and after entering the city, he designed to arrest Mi Envoy Jun and put him in prison. The messenger fell on one knee and told the truth what he knew.

Guan Ping, Liao Hua and others couldn't help but look at each other, the second monk was puzzled, Zhang Fei ran all the way from Ba County to Jingzhou, and when he entered the city, he arrested Mi Fang, the Taishou of Nanjun?

"Present the letter. ”

Guan Yu, who was sitting upright, squinted his eyes, raised his hand and stroked his gray three-foot hair, it seems that something big happened in Jingzhou, and it was definitely not that the family member he thought of was suffering from a sudden illness.

Zhou Cang, who had a black face and a big beard and a round waist, took a few steps forward and took the letter and forwarded it to Guan Yu: "Junhou, please take a look." ”

Guan Yu took the letter, opened the envelope, and squinted in the candlelight.

He was already close to sixty years old, and he was a little dazzled after dark, and it was quite difficult to read letters.

It took a long time to understand the content, and his face changed suddenly, and he slammed his fist on the handsome case, gritting his teeth and scolding.

"What a Mi Fang and Fu Shiren, they actually did such things like eating inside and out, I really regret that I didn't kill these two thieves when I went out on the expedition!"

Guan Ping clenched his fists and asked, "Father, what happened to Jiangling?"

"Ahem...... See for yourself!"

Guan Yu was so angry that he threw the letter out, his breath was unsteady in anger, he let out a violent cough, and the arrow wound on his left arm emitted a sharp pain.

Guan Ping hurriedly bent down to pick up the letter, quickly read it to everyone, and finally was so angry that he jumped like thunder: "Fu Shiren dedicated public security, and Lu Mengbing came to the city." Mi Fang also tried to surrender to Gangneung, but was captured by the third uncle and Adou Design, and now temporarily takes over Gangneung City. ”

"The king is as kind to Mi and Fu as a mountain, and these two people actually did something to betray the Lord and seek glory?

"Fortunately, General Yideok arrived, if Gangneung is lost, our army will be in danger. ”

"General Zhang is really timely, God bless the big man!"

The generals first scolded, and then breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Zhang Fei fell from the sky and controlled the military power of Jiangling, so as not to leave the troops and horses who were out of the army homeless.

"Who is this Adou?"

Wang Fu was careful, and just when everyone was indignant and scolded, Wang Fu thought of mentioning "Eldest Son Adou" many times in the letter.

Guan Yu was so angry that he threw the letter out halfway, and he didn't notice Adou's words, and when he heard what Wang Fu said, he couldn't help frowning a pair of silkworm eyebrows: "Bring the letter with me." ”

Guan Ping said filial piety: "My father is old, and my child will read it to you." ”

"It's good!"

Guan Yu bowed his head slightly, sat upright, and habitually stroked his three-foot hair on his chin.

"Tell the second brother Jiayin, this son is the eldest son of the elder brother in Xiapi, Liu Dou, the word is promoted, and the second brother still remembers this matter. This son is very similar to his brother, with huge ears, knee-high arms, dignified appearance, burly and majestic, powerful, intelligent and wise......"

There was also a string of praises at the back, which almost made Zhang Fei praise this eldest nephew as "the pride of the sky, the saint was born".

Finally, he briefly introduced the course of the incident, saying that the slave Liu Zhong fell and injured his head when he fled with Adou, and his intelligence was damaged, and Liu Zhong had no shame to see his eldest brother again, so he took Liu Dou back to his hometown in Zhuo County and went incognito.

Later, Liu Zhong died of illness, so he entrusted Liu Dou to Liu Kuo, a merchant in Hanzhong, and moved his family to Lujiang because he avoided the war.

Adou killed people in a rage, in order to avoid the arrest of the government, he mistakenly entered Chaisang, found a large number of Wu troops assembled, and accidentally obtained a letter written by Mi Fang to Sun Quan, so he traveled thousands of miles to Ba County to warn, so he and he rushed to Jiangling in the starry night, and controlled the military power before Lü Meng arrived in Jiangling.

Guan Yu frowned frequently, and muttered: "Yide does not hesitate to praise, obviously admires this son very much. ”

Guan Ping was also sincerely happy: "I heard that Liu Gonghei is too weak and lacks courage, if this Liu Shengzhi is really as the third uncle said, it is really the luck of the king and the luck of the Han." ”

Having said that, the father felt that there were many doubts about this Liu Dou that had yet to be verified. ”

Guan Yu Huo Ran got up, paced back and forth in the handsome tent with his long beard in his hand, "Is there really anyone in this world who recovers his intelligence after being poisoned? Moreover, even if this Liu Shengzhi recovers his intelligence, that is also the IQ of a normal person, why is he so outstanding? As the third brother said, he is smart and resourceful, and he can also design and capture Mi Fang, who holds the power of the army......

After listening to Guan Yu's words, everyone in the handsome tent fell into deep thought, this Liu Shengzhi's experience was indeed a bit incredible.

"Could this person be Jiangdong's spy?" the honest Zhou Cang asked.

"Naturally not!"

Guan Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If he is a spy of Eastern Wu, why would he go all the way to Bashu to find Yide? He worked so hard to help our army keep Jiangling, and he was by no means a spy of Cao Wei and Sun Wu. ”

After a pause, he added in a deep voice: "I just think that this son's behavior is a little strange, and I don't suspect his identity." Yide loved this child the most back then, and he spent more time teasing than his brother, and he believed that Yide would never admit his mistake. ”

"If General Zhang doesn't admit his mistake, then don't worry. ”

Only then did everyone understand what Guan Yu meant, "Anyway, as long as it's the king's bloodline." ”

Guan Ping thought for a while and tried to make a reasonable explanation: "Maybe this Liu Shengzhi is a genius of heaven, or even the destiny of heaven, and this ordeal may be God's training for him." ”

"I hope so!"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and laughed, "The reunion of the king's father and son, the Han Dynasty is happy to be talented, it is always a good thing! Besides, this Liu Shengzhi has a great favor to our army, if Jiangling falls, the back road is cut off, and our army is in danger!"

After listening to what Guan Yu said, everyone present bowed their heads in agreement: "That's true, if it weren't for the eldest son to come forward, our army would be in trouble." ”

Wang Fu said: "Junhou, since the Wu army has poured out of the nest and the troops in Jiangling City are empty, our army can no longer try to Xiangyang, and should quickly retreat to reject Sun Wu." ”

Guan Ping reminded: "Father, there is another paragraph at the back of the letter, which seems to be the third uncle's suggestion to the Xiangfan war. ”

Guan Yu turned around and returned to the handsome chair to sit down, frowned and said, "Read it and listen to it." ”
