Chapter 133: Ji Han Friendship Zilong is the enemy
Guan Yu looked at the generals in the tent, and he showed the letter in his hand and passed it to the generals present.
Then he stroked his hair and smiled, "Meng Decheng doesn't deceive me."
At this time, it was Zhao Yun who sat first under Guan Yu.
After Zhao Yun read the letter and passed it to Pan Jun below, he said: "Cao Thief's intention to harm Yun Chang is obvious, but it depends on whether he has the ability to do so."
After reading Cao Cao's letter to Guan Yu, the ministers of Jingzhou in the whole account all had a heavy look on their faces.
Immortal under his feet, lonely and restless, these eight words are enough to prove how firm Cao Cao's heart is to kill Guan Yu.
This is a death threat from the first prince of the world, King Wei.
And on the other side, there are 100,000 troops of the other side staring at them closely, how can this not make them feel worried.
It is just that Guan Yu, who is extraordinarily heroic, and Zhao Yun, who is full of courage, will not care about Cao Cao's threat.
My head is in the south, and I can take it myself.
At the beginning, after Guan Yu defeated Xu Huang, he originally wanted to repair the soldiers and horses, so he immediately led the army south.
But somehow, when he led the army to retreat slowly, Cao Ren, who was originally like a trapped beast in Fancheng, dared to send troops to attack his rear.
Cao Ren's soldiers and horses were only a few thousand, and his attack was nothing to Guan Yu, who had just won a big victory.
It's just that Cao Ren sent troops to attack and harass at the same time, and ordered his soldiers to release a message: Cao Cao, the king of Wei, led an army of 100,000 to the south.
Guan Yu originally only wanted to leave some soldiers and horses behind and defeat Cao Ren's troops.
But just after he heard the news, he had to pay attention.
Therefore, he did not immediately go south with his army.
He first ordered Ji Zhang, who was besieging Xiangyang, and other generals to spread the news that he had defeated Xu Huang.
LĂź Chang, the general of Xiangyang on the south bank of the Han River, did not know the news that Cao Cao was leading his army south.
When he saw Xu Huang's corpse, he thought that the general trend had gone and there was no foreign aid, so he had no choice but to open the city and surrender.
After recapturing Xiangyang, Guan Yu personally stayed outside Fancheng and ordered the rest of the generals to lead Xu Huang's soldiers and more than 10,000 troops to retreat to Xiangyang City, which had been occupied, as his backup.
Not long after, Guan Yu, who remained on the north bank of the Han River, saw a group of thousands of elite horsemen rushing towards Fancheng.
And the leader of that elite cavalry was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the generals of Zhengdong.
After realizing that Cao Cao had even transferred Zhang Liao, the general who was guarding Hefei, Guan Yu confirmed that the news spread by Cao Ren would not be false.
Because considering that the enemy is outnumbered, and the army of Jingzhou, the land of northern Hanbei, does not have a city to rely on.
Therefore, Guan Yu led the army back to the south bank of the Han River, and used the Jingzhou Navy to arrange layers of defense lines in the Han River.
It was hoped that this would be used to resist Cao Cao's army from continuing southward.
Soon after Guan Yu led his troops back to the south bank, the mighty 100,000 Wei troops rushed to Fancheng one after another, and confronted Guan Yu's army across the river from the south bank.
And the banner of the king of Wei was also hung high in the camp of 100,000 Wei troops, announcing the personal arrival of Cao Cao, the king of Wei.
At that time, after realizing that Cao Cao was really pro-conquest, the hearts of the ministers of Jingzhou all showed a heavy color.
Even if you don't mention the neat and murderous 100,000 Wei troops on the other side, the prestige of Cao Cao, the king of Wei, alone is enough to make ordinary people fearful.
That is since the princes fought against Dong, Cao Cao fought for 30 years, and countless lords and generals used their lives to build up the prestige for him.
After confirming that Cao Cao really personally led the army south, Guan Yu could no longer retreat.
He has fewer soldiers than Cao Cao, and the Hanshui defense line is long.
If he divided his troops south to support Mi Yang, then he would not be able to rely on his existing forces, using the Han River as a natural line of defense, and building a barrier to block Cao Cao's army from moving south.
And once Cao Cao's army crosses the Han River and enters the Xianghan Plain, the advantage of the northern cavalry will be brought into full play.
At that time, Jingzhou was also facing a situation of insecurity.
Guan Yu saw that the generals in the tent were because of Cao Cao's letter, and his face was again
A heavy look appeared, and he said in a deep voice:
"I am a martial artist in Hedong, and King Meng treats each other as brothers, and has been raising troops for more than 30 years, and I have never doubted each other.
The king of Hanzhong entrusted me with a great responsibility, and the righteousness is as heavy as a mountain. I am a dignified husband, how can I not repay him with death!
If the city is broken, there will be death! Jade can be broken, but it cannot be changed to white; Bamboo can be burned, but its knots cannot be destroyed;
Even if the body is dead, the name can hang on the bamboo silk, so why be afraid?"
"I will vow not to let the Wei army cross the Han River one step in one day."
Guan Yu's firm and heroic words sounded in the big tent.
After besieging and killing Xu Huang, Guan Yu's prestige now is close to Liu Bei.
In his capacity, he said these words very convincingly.
In the tent, the ministers of Jingzhou thought that now their backbone Guan Yu was still there, and their hearts were a lot more settled.
With the former generals here, even if the King of Wei came in person, they were not without the strength to fight.
After calming everyone's hearts, Guan Yu looked at Wang Fu in the tent and asked, "Guoshan, hasn't there been any news from the public security yet?"
Wang Fu was in charge of Guan Yu's military intelligence summary, and after hearing Guan Yu ask about the military situation of the public security, Wang Fu came out and replied:
"The public security is besieging the Jiangdong army on all sides, isolated from inside and outside, and there is no communication."
"Spies outside the city can't find out what's going on in the city."
"It's just that according to the latest spies, it is said that Sun Quan has personally gone to the public security city, and Jiangdong has recently increased more than 10,000 troops to besiege the public security."
Because the public security was besieged from all sides, even though Mi Yang had achieved a great victory in killing the three generals of Jiangdong and burning nearly 10,000 Wu soldiers some time ago, he had no way to pass on the news.
And Koto is unlikely to make a big deal about this shameful news.
Therefore, Wang Fu, who was far away in Jingbei, could only report the current information to Guan Yu.
After hearing Wang Fu say this, Guan Yu's heart sank.
According to today's intelligence, the Wu army besieging the public security has reached more than 100,000.
Although the public security city is strong and Mi Yang is strategic, under the siege of more than ten times the troops, Guan Yu is only afraid that the army in the city will be defeated and defeated.
But now, the public security must not be lost!
Guan Yu and Mi Yang are now in a relationship of lip and tooth, and the two are behind each other.
If one side loses, the other side will surely fall into an instant death.
Guan Yu is not only the commander of Jingzhou now, but he is not only considering the 100,000 Wei troops on the other side, but the entire Jingzhou battle situation.
Looking at the worried look on Guan Yu's face, Zhao Yun said to Guan Yu, "Former generals don't need to worry too much."
"Previously, Zicheng sent a battle report, saying that he invited the vanguard of the Wu army outside the city to win a big victory."
"With such a great victory, the morale of the army in the public security city will not collapse for a while."
"And as long as the morale of the army is not lost, the public security city is not so easy to lose."
Zhao Yun has a serious personality, and he is respected by Liu Bei, and has served as the commander of his pro-army for many years, and he has his own experience in how to defend it.
Hearing Zhao Yun say this, the worry on Guan Yu's face dissipated a lot.
Long before, Mi Yang fully proved his strategy in front of him.
In the battle report sent by Mi Yang not long ago, he broke Sun Huan's army in a battle, which fully proved Mi Yang's military strategy.
Under such circumstances, Guan Yu has confidence in Mi Yang.
Thinking of Mi Yang's performance some time ago, Guan Yu was glad that he didn't see the wrong person, but he also felt guilty about Mi Yang in his heart.
According to the original plan, there was no need for Mi Yang to risk going out of the city to fight.
And when he sent an envoy to the public security before, he only informed Mi Yang of the fact that Cao Cao's army was going south.
He didn't tell him what to do.
Mi Yang's previous battle outside the city was completely his decision to take the risk in order to prevent Lu Meng's troops from threatening Guan Yu's back.
For this descendant who is guarding him with his life, and guarding Jingzhou's nephew, Guan Yuxin
is full of love.
In times of crisis, we can see people's hearts.
Compared with Liu Feng, who is also his nephew, Mi Yang doesn't know how much he can beat him.
Compared with Guan Yu, in fact, Zhao Yun is an elder who loved Mi Yang from the beginning.
If it weren't for the early death of his second daughter, Mi Yang would probably be his son-in-law by now.
It's just the big picture.
Just like in history, after Guan Yu was killed by Sun Quan, no matter how heartbroken Zhao Yun was, for the sake of the overall situation, he would still dissuade Liu Bei from going east.
After discussing the military situation in the south, Zhao Yunhou bowed to Guan Yu and said:
"Former general, Yun is worried that the amount of water in the Han River has gradually decreased recently, and more and more tidal flats and shoals have been exposed in the Han River.
If the Cao thief takes this opportunity to lead the cavalry to smuggle across the Han River, the situation will not be favorable to our army."
Faced with Zhao Yun's concern, Guan Yu's face showed a look of approval.
He asked Zhao Yundao, "Since Zilong is worried, he must have a strategy to deal with the enemy, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Zhao Yun pondered for a while and replied, "Most of our troops are light infantry, while the enemy army has a tiger and leopard cavalry, and he is good at rushing and fighting urgently.
If the enemy covers us with tigers and leopards, our army will be at a disadvantage."
"Only my subordinate Bai Yu soldiers are wearing heavy armor, which can block the edge of tigers and leopards."
"I can lead the white soldiers to inspect the places on the river bank that are conducive to cavalry crossing the river, so as to be prepared."
"Even if the enemy tiger and leopard attack, I will block it with white soldiers, although it is not guaranteed to win, but it is enough to prevent the tiger and leopard from galloping on the south bank and disrupting our army."
Hearing Zhao Yun say this, Guan Yu thought about it for a while and agreed to Zhao Yun's request.
After getting Guan Yu's consent, Zhao Yun immediately got up and was about to go to order his subordinates to inspect the riverbank.
At this time, Guan Yu also got up and came to Zhao Yun, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Zilong is going to be careful about everything."
Then Guan Yu patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said, "I am your brother Yun Chang, not your former general."
"Others call me an official position, you and I know each other in the micro end, and we have fought side by side for many years, I don't want to look like you and I are separated because of my current official position."
"Glory and humility, before the brotherhood between you and me, is not worth mentioning at all."
Guan Yu seemed to have a sense of blame on his face, and Zhao Yun had a smile on his face when he saw this.
A kind of warmth that belongs only to their brothers flows in Zhao Yun's heart.
Even though their identities today are vastly different from those in the past, their former brotherhood and like-mindedness will never change.
Zhao Yun was not good at words, he just bowed to Guan Yu, and then said warmly, "Don't worry, brother, brother will come when he goes."
Hearing Zhao Yun call him like this, a smile appeared on Guan Yu's face.
"Go, go, brother, in the camp to support you."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Yun picked up his spear, put on his helmet, and strode towards the outside of the tent.
Looking at the back of Zhao Yun leaving, Guan Yu stroked his hair and smiled.
Even if the great enemy is in front of him, even if Jingzhou is in danger, he can still fight side by side with his brothers, just like when he was at the end of the year, he Guan Yunchang has no regrets.
Perhaps in the real history, Zhao Yun must have been extremely remorseful in his heart after receiving the news of Guan Yu's death, and he was not by his side to help Guan Yu when he was in trouble.
Perhaps in real history, when Guan Yu was hanging from the butcher's knife, he was not afraid of death, but he would regret that he could no longer ride a horse with his brother to break the enemy.
But after Mi Yang crossed over to the world, the regrets of Zhao Yun and Guan Yu in history were bound to never happen again.
Ji-Han friendship should have a beginning and an end.
...
Just as Zhao Yun was admonishing Guan Yu, outside the Wei army camp on the north bank, a general was riding a horse and observing the terrain in detail.
With a majestic face and an erect posture, his keen gaze was scanning around the Han River.
This will be Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, who are famous all over the world because of the First World War in Hefei.
After Zhang Liao drove his horse back and forth several times on the north bank of the Han River, he already had a plan brewing in his heart
Make move.
He hurriedly turned his horse back to the Wei army and asked to meet Cao Cao, the king of Wei.
Cao Cao was in his tent, baking the stove with his hands.
He's sixty-five years old.
Approaching his prime, he felt that his physical functions were not as good as before.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to get rid of Guan Yu, a big confidant, he would not have held his old and weak body and enlisted again.
The raging flames in the furnace fell on Cao Cao's old eyes, and he couldn't help but ask himself: Can he still achieve his long-cherished wish of dominating the world in this life?
Will God still give him time?
Just when Cao Cao was deep in thought, Xu Chu came to his side and said to him, "Great King, General Zhengdong is out asking to see you."
When he heard the word Zhengdong, Cao Cao, who was in deep thought, didn't react for a moment who this was.
But then he quickly thought of who the general Zhengdong under his command was.
"It's Wen Yuan."
Cao Cao's somewhat tired voice sounded.
In the first battle of Hefei that year, Zhang Liao broke through the 100,000 Jiangdong army with 800 elite soldiers, so the happy Cao Cao immediately appointed Zhang Liao as the general of the expedition.
Before this war, Zhang Liao's official position was General Dangkou, just a miscellaneous general.
Because of Sun Quan, he jumped several levels at once, and directly became a pivotal general under Cao Cao.
Zhang Liao is currently Cao Cao's most valued member of the family in addition to his relatives.
Seeing that he had something to see, Cao Cao instructed Xu Chu, "Let him come in."
After Xu Chu got the order, he immediately went out of the handsome tent and brought in Zhang Liao, who was waiting outside.
Zhang Liao bowed to Cao Cao before and after entering the tent, "Chen Liao pays a visit to the King of Wei."
Cao Cao waved his hand to dispense with Zhang Liao's false salute, he turned to look at the famous general in front of him, and asked, "Wen Yuan is here, but there is a way to break the enemy?"
The copper stove in the tent was blazing, and the burning of firewood crackled.
Facing Cao Cao's inquiry, Zhang Liao stepped forward and looked at Cao Cao: "King Yu, exactly."
