Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Good Opportunity
Sima Jin ran into the small courtyard, rushed into Sima Yi's room, turned over and closed the 'door', took out a strip of cloth from his cuff, handed it to Sima Yi, and lowered his voice: Something is wrong! The Temple of the Dead in Xiheji was destroyed, many people were arrested, and I heard that there were still fourth and fifth brothers!
Sima Yi finished reading the strips of cloth, lit them on the candle casually, and watched the candles burn out the strips of cloth: It doesn't matter, our main power is still there, and we have safely withdrawn from Li Hui's territory, we still have a chance!
What about the fourth brother and the fifth brother? Sima Jin asked. //.//
Sima Yi said: Don't worry, Li Hui won't embarrass them for the time being, tomorrow I will tell the people who are still in Li Hui's territory that they must be hidden in the depths, and they must not 'show' their heads again, so as not to be caught by Li Hui!
Sima Jin nodded: I understand, there is one more thing, there is news from Jingzhou, Cao Pi led his troops to prepare to enter Chang'an from Fancheng to Lantian by detour, but Guan Yu, who was stationed in Nanjun, was ready to intercept it halfway and defeat Cao 'Cao' in one fell swoop.
Sima Yi said with a smile: Guan Yu is beyond his strength, this time the army will definitely be defeated, let the eldest brother continue to do his own thing, and he must not 'reveal' his identity! But this time it gave you a good chance.
What chances? Sima Jin asked.
Sima Yi shook his head and smiled: I can't say it yet, there are many eyes and ears here, and S will know when the time comes, hurry up and do something!
Sima Yi saw the opportunity, and Guan Yu also saw the opportunity. Cao 'Cao' was suppressed by Li Hui, and he couldn't stay in the Central Plains anymore and was ready to retreat west. After Cao 'Cao' withdrew, there will be a vacuum period in Yuzhou for the time being, and it is just right to take advantage of Li Hui's lack of action to take Yuzhou.
Ma Liangdao: Second general, Yuzhou is imperative for Li Hui, it is best not to 'intervene', the task given by the lord is to be optimistic about Jingzhou, not to let others take advantage of it, Li Hui is strong, should not be provoked!
Hum! Guan Yu snorted coldly: Little baby, are you afraid of him? He has been bullying his brothers for so many years, and now this great opportunity is in front of him, and he must not let it go!
Checkmate! Ma Liang said anxiously: Dongwu covets Nanjun, if the general leads his troops north, how can Dongwu resist when he comes to attack?
Guan Yu smiled: There are no generals in Eastern Wu, since Zhou Yu's death, Lu 'Meng' and Lu Xun are all juniors, don't worry, there are proper arrangements, Mr. rest assured!
Checkmate! This matter is very important, and it should be written to show the king and the military advisor before going forward, in case something goes wrong, how can D 'deliver' to the king? Ma Liang saw that he couldn't convince Guan Yu, so he moved Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang out.
Guan Yu shook his head: \u201D Big brother has been fighting for so many years, and now he has just sat firmly in Yizhou, why bother him with such a trivial matter as attacking Yuzhou, without saying much, he can send troops to Xiangyang and be ready to enter Yuzhou at any time!
Checkmate! Checkmate! Ma Liang shouted several times, Guan Yu no longer paid attention to him, and walked out of the Shuai Mansion with Guan Ping.
Cao Pi took one last look at Runan City. Leaving here this time, I don't know if I can come back or when I will come back. The prosperous Central Plains may never be seen again. I couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic and a little lonely in my heart, and I couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Qun comforted: Shizi, let's go! Chang'an is also the former national capital, and it shouldn't be worse than here!
Cao Pi smiled: No need to be comforted, Chang'an has been ruined since Dong Zhuozhi's 'chaos', although Zhong Miao has made a difference over the years, Xiliang Ma Chao, Hanzhong Zhang Lu, and even the Huns are eyeing each other, and now Han Sui has a bad idea, how can he have the kung fu to build Chang'an!
Jia Kui said: The prince can rest assured, when they destroy Han Sui and capture Hanzhong, and then take their time, I believe that it will not be long before Chang'an can catch up with the big city of the Central Plains!
Out of Runan, go to the ancient city, through Anle, Xinye, bypass Yan Liang and Zhang Ren garrisoned Wancheng, first go to Fancheng to rest for a few days, and then go north from the Qingni Pass, go to Lantian, to Chang'an. Along the way, the most dangerous place should be Fancheng. Guan Yu, who was south of Fancheng, had already been eyeing this place, and it was very likely that he would attack suddenly. Arriving in Fancheng, Cao Pi asked Cao Hong to lead troops to garrison outside the city, and Li Dian and Gao Ran defended the city, and the main target was Guan Yu in the south.
On this day, Tanma reported, and as Cao Pi expected, Guan Yu really moved. Guan Yu, Guan Ping and his son led 50,000 troops, set off from Xiangyang, went to Xinye, and went straight to Runan.
Chen Qun smiled and said: Congratulations to the prince, Guan Yu didn't do enough to provoke Li Hui, it seems that he has suffered!
Cao Pi nodded: Yes, Liu Bei used people improperly, not only will Jingzhou not be able to keep it, but he will also offend Li Hui, the plague god, and his good days are over!
Jia Kui said: \u201D, don't they suddenly send troops to Xiangyang, cut off Guan Yu's way back, and completely cut off Liu Bei's arm?
Chen Qun shook his head: No need, Guan Yu will definitely be defeated here, as soon as Guan Yu is defeated, Dongwu will immediately send troops to Nanjun, and Guan Yu will have no way to retreat.
Cao Pi nodded: What Mr. said is very true, we are also happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!
Guan Yu's army drove to the city of Runan. Guan Ping said happily: Father S look, this city is bare, it seems that Li Hui has not yet arrived, they immediately rob the city, before Li Hui arrives, take Runan down, even if Li Hui comes, he can't help them!
\u201D What he said! Guan Yu stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Guan Yu's laughter had not stopped. Suddenly, the pennant fluttered on the city of Runan, the soldiers stood in a forest, and the bright swords and guns were shooting back into the sun, and the eyes of the sparkling were uncomfortable.
Hahaha\\ Zhou Tai laughed loudly in the city: Guan Yu Xiaoer, S is late, listen to a word of persuasion, hurry up and leave here, spare S will not die, otherwise S will die and have no place to be buried! Hahaha\\
Guan Pingdao: Father! What to do? People have already taken precautions, and the army may not be able to take advantage of the siege!
Guan Yu looked at Zhou Tai's arrogant appearance coldly, and snorted coldly: Hmph! There is no city in the world that cannot be attacked, don't worry, send orders to the three armies, prepare to attack the city!
With a shout, the Jingzhou army rushed to Runan City. Zhou Tai sneered: I can't do it! Trap the crossbow and give them a taste of the storm!
Rows of wide shelves were raised to the walls, and on none of them were fixed a large repeater. This repeater was at least a hundred times larger than that used by the cavalry. The box containing the arrows alone was as tall as a man, and it took seven or eight soldiers to lift and press it when it was full of arrows.
There was a series of creaks, and the bowstring of the crossbow was gradually tightened. The crossbow arm with the thickness of the big 'leg' curves the arc of the city. The five thumb-sized arrows inside the box fell from the inside and stuck where they were supposed to be. A trap crossbow 'shoots' five arrows at a time, and the attack effect of a hundred crossbows will be terrifying!
Put! Zhou Tai gave an order, and the arrow left the crossbow body and flew towards the Jingzhou army.
