Chapter 140: Hearing the news of defeat, Guan Yu was trapped
Zhao Shu was thinking about how to rescue Guo Huai from a distance, but when he heard the loud sound of killing in Cao Ying, he hurriedly led the men and horses with Huan Yi to approach Cao Ying. Not far from Yuanmen, I saw a Cao army general with more than ten horsemen coming head-on defeated.
Huan Yi looked at it and said loudly: "Where will the thief go?" "The general didn't want to have a military horse waiting here, and he was caught off guard by Huan Yi and slashed under the horse. The rest is not enough, this group of outlaws stuffed their teeth and killed them one by one.
The crowd was snatching the horses, and when they saw a team of men and horses in the gate, the leader shouted, "Where are the men and horses?" ”
When Zhao Shu heard the voice, he was overjoyed, and stepped forward and said, "Is it Wen Ze?" ”
"Mr. Zhao." Yu Ban heard Zhao Shu's voice and urged him to step forward. Zhao Shu was naturally excited to see him. Zhao Shu could just ask him what happened that night.
As soon as Zhao Shu was about to talk to Yu Ban, he listened: "Big brother." Zhao Shu took a look, but it was Guo Huai who was rescued by Yu Ban's subordinates. Zhao Shu hurriedly dismounted, walked forward quickly, and saw that Guo Huai was thin and had many blood stains on his body. was originally a good general, but he became a prisoner under the ranks, and he couldn't help but blame himself for acting inadequately.
Guo Huai saw that Zhao Shu's expression was gloomy, he was silent, and said with a smile: "Han Huaiyin once had the humiliation of stepping down, and it is not a big deal for the younger brother to get this cage. ”
When he said this, Zhao Shu felt more and more uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to sigh and ask, "Brother Xian, presumably Jingzhou has been lost?" ”
"The little brother is ashamed of the big brother." Guo Huai's voice was resentful, and he said: "Pan Jun actually colluded with Wu soldiers to enter the city. The younger brother was caught off guard, so he had to abandon the city and flee to Nanjun. didn't want Mi Fang, Fu Shiren's second general also surrendered to Sun Quan, and the younger brother was captured by the two ambushes. Fortunately, Sun Quan took me as Cao Cao's general and sent me to Xu Gongming in Fancheng, and Gongming asked Cao Cao to deal with it personally. and escorted the younger brother to Xudu, otherwise he would not be able to see the eldest brother again. ”
Mi Fang, Fu Shiren, these two bastards. In this way, Jingzhou is still lost. blamed himself for being too gullible in Gao Ping, and the investigation of Wu Jun's movements was handled by Gao Ping, and the information given to him was naturally all fake. Lu Meng didn't go to Runan at all, but still came to attack Jingzhou. Cao Ren gave up Fancheng in order to attract himself and Guan Yu's army to the north. The Wei and Wu families finally joined forces and captured Jingzhou. And the most critical chess piece in the middle is Gao Ping.
Zhao Shu looked at Yu Ban next to him, and asked again: "Wen Ze, what happened to the army in Jiaxia that night?" ”
"Don't you know, sir?" Yu Ban replied suspiciously: "That night, I was in the camp and heard that there was chaos in General Guan's camp. Someone came to report the Gaoping rebellion, so he hurriedly led the army to find Mr. But I heard that outside the camp, Xu Gongming robbed the camp. A certain department was all surrendered by Cao's army, and when there was a big change, they all surrendered. A certain one caused hundreds of henchmen to escape, and the captain Dong Chao was killed. ”
"Gao Ping, good you Gao Ping." The anger in Zhao Shu's heart really didn't know how to describe it, seeing that there was a good situation, he actually destroyed it to me. first used false information to lure himself north, and then turned against himself before the battle, so that he was defeated. Zhao Shu hurriedly asked: "Wen Ze knows where Guan Junhou is now?" ”
Yu Ban shook his head and said: "In the past few days, I have led people and horses to lurk in the mountains and forests, and occasionally come out to harass Cao Jun's grain road. Fancheng has been occupied by Xu Gongming, and he doesn't know how to return south? I don't know the whereabouts of General Guan. ”
Guo Huai said on the side: "The younger brother has been in the Cao army for the past two days, and I learned that General Guan was trapped in Xiangyang and is now besieged by the Wu army. Xu Huang may also go south to aid Soochow in the near future. ”
There were only tens of thousands of military horses in Jingzhou, and it was estimated that the next battle of Jiazhou would have suffered heavy losses, otherwise Guan Yu would not have given up Fancheng and retreated to Xiangyang. How to stop the alliance of Wei and Wu? However, the city of Xiangyang is strong, and the grain and grass can support it for several months, so Guan Yu may be able to hold on for a while. Now the nearest place is Shangyong Liu Feng, although many soldiers and horses were brought to Jingzhou by me, but there is no problem with gathering 10,000 people to come out. asked for help from Chengdu again, hoping that Liu Bei would not be swayed by Kong Ming and Fa Zheng, and take care of Guan Yu's righteousness, and maybe be saved.
Having made up his mind at the moment, Zhao Shu said to the two: "Now that the road to the south has been blocked, even if you can get to Xiangyang, these less than a thousand people and horses will not be able to control the overall situation." It's better to go west to Shangyong, get a rescue army and rescue General Guan. Then report to the lord for help. ”
The two also knew that these thousand people would not be able to achieve any climate, and they had no objections. cleaned up the battlefield, and the men and horses went to the place where the bamboo was cut down by the day Huan Yi.
The military horses arrived in the middle of the night, but the people who stayed behind did not know that there were hundreds more, and they did not make up so many bamboo rafts. At that moment, he ordered the people and horses to rest, and waited for the dawn to build a bamboo raft to cross the Danshui.
This night was really sleepless, in the Huainan War, Hanzhong Yangping was attacked by Xu Huang, which was a fiasco. It's just that their own scheming is not as good as others, and they are not betrayed like this time, and they are stabbed in the back. Gao Ping, Rong'er has been by his side for more than two years, but he has not seen these two people through. I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, and now I think about it, there are many abnormalities between the two. It's just that I didn't pay too much attention, it seems that if I want to survive in this world, I really have to do whatever it takes, and I am walking on thin ice everywhere.
It's easy to get up until dawn, and I listen to people next to me getting up one after another. At this time, it was already early winter, the weather was a little cold, and when he got up from sleeping, Zhao Shu couldn't help coughing a few times.
Guo Huai's voice listening to it also got up and said, "Is the eldest brother unwell?" ”
"Nothing." Zhao Shu shook his head, looking at the thin mist, Guan Yu was killed at the end of the year, and he didn't know if he could be rescued. Now the situation can only pray for him to be blessed.
Yu Ban leaned over and handed over some dry food and Zhao Shu. In the past few days, together with Huan Yi, I have eaten these unpalatable wheat cakes. Occasionally, only game is played, but there are more monks and less porridge, and they can't solve the slander. Zhao Shu ate a few bites indiscriminately, stood up, Gao Ping, Lu Meng, Pan Jun, Mi Fang, Fu Shiren, and 。。。。。 I will always settle these hatreds with you one by one.
Yu Ban brought all the cavalry, but these hundreds of horses were a troublesome matter. Huan Yi took people to work for a long time, and the bamboo raft was barely enough. It was almost noon before the nearly 1,000 men and horses began to cross the water. After passing the Danshui, it will come all the way up. Now it has the advantage of cavalry, and Huan Yi's subordinates who have no horses will ride in two and march quickly.
In less than a day, they will be in the territory of Shangyong. It wasn't very early, although everyone was tired. Zhao Shu still ordered a rapid march, hoping to enter Shangyong City before dark.
Seeing that the city was in sight, suddenly the military horses in front of him stopped, and a soldier reported: "Sir, two generals." There was a woman in front of me who stopped our army and said that she wanted to see Mr. ”
Could it be Guan Feng? Zhao Shu hurriedly went up, but Rong'er was in front immediately.
