Zhang Liao rejected Guan Yu's appointment, which was actually not what Guan Yu expected.

Zhang Liao's personality and ability, Guan Yu is very clear, if he agrees to go head-to-head so simply, Guan Yu will be a little uneasy.

Zhang Liao refused, but it was in line with his usual style.

It's just that Guan Yu didn't expect to be agreed to a single invitation.

The main body of this gathering is indeed a gathering of old friends, after all, they are so old, and they are in an enemy country, such a meeting, it is really one less time to see each other.

Guan Yu's invitation to fight at the banquet was just an introduction, so that what he was going to do next would not seem so abrupt.

On the second day after the banquet between the two, Guan Yu rode a second-generation red rabbit horse, carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and only led the five hundred Pu Dao hands in the headquarters, plus a Deng Ai, and came to challenge in front of the Cao military camp.

Guan Yu originally didn't plan to let anyone follow, but Deng Ai played the dead face he learned from his master, and insisted on following, plus Guan Ping, Guan Xing and others were not at ease, Guan Yu had no choice but to take Deng Ai.

Guan Yu led the army to a place outside Cao's camp and stopped, and then signaled the five hundred school swordsmen to shout in unison.

"Han General Guan Yu is here, Zhang Liao dares to go out of the village and fight to the death?!"

The five hundred school swordsmen shouted in unison, and this sound was enough to penetrate into the Cao army camp and let Zhang Liao hear it.

And Zhang Liao really wanted to pretend not to hear.

The general of the unified army, I don't think about how to arrange the troops, how to attack the city, and I have nothing to do such a thing as a heads-up?!

You Guan Yu made a good calculation, I was fooled.

But the problem is that you can't let Guan Yu just shout outside and not leave, otherwise Sergeant Cao will really be vague, thinking that he is afraid of Guan Yu.

Guan Yu's reputation has spread all over the world, even ordinary soldiers know Guan Yu's name of martial arts, and now he is fighting outside the camp, if he doesn't say a word and doesn't fight, it is easy to lose morale.

Therefore, in the face of Guan Yu's attitude, Zhang Liao also had to lead his headquarters to guard and stand in front of the camp.

When Guan Yu saw that Zhang Liao had come out, he smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and urged him to step forward.

"Wen Yuan, dare to fight?!"

When the two armies face each other, it is no longer an old friend catching up, so Guan Yu didn't talk nonsense and asked directly.

Zhang Liao frowned slightly, looked at Guan Yu, and said loudly, "If General Guan wants to attack the city, he will lead the troops to attack it, and he will die before the battle, how can it be done by the commander of the first army?!" Liao was deeply favored by the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, and as a subordinate of the country, when the state affairs were the first, and the private name was the last, how could he act without wisdom and recklessness? ! ”

Zhang Liao deliberately spoke loudly, and his purpose was not to say it to Guan Yu, but to the soldiers of Cao Jun.

First of all, Zhang Liao has to define Guan Yu's heads-up as the behavior of an unwise and reckless man, which is not what a coach should do.

Secondly, Zhang Liaode told the soldiers of Cao Jun that he was the commander in chief and had the responsibility of the country, so he had to put state affairs first, and he did not accept the single-handedness just to put the country first and live up to the emperor's kindness.

To put it bluntly, it is still necessary to calm the morale of the soldiers of the Cao Army.

Zhang Liao is not an unknown general, and his martial arts are also recognized by the world. It's not okay if you don't admit it, otherwise Sun 100,000 will be the first to jump up and scold her mother.

When others say this, they may be looking for excuses to cover it up, but what Zhang Liao said is what everyone wants to believe.

After all, it's really hard to say who is stronger, Guan Yu or Zhang Liao.

Of course, Guan Yu also understood Zhang Liao's intentions, so well, Guan Yu just said lightly, "Wen Yuan can't be embarrassed?!" Or don't you dare?! ”

Hawkers,This time it's a little bit of a taste. At least Zhang Liao listened, and his blood pressure went up a little.

The disdainful attitude, the fluttering tone, and the demeanor of Guan Yu now squinting slightly. If Zhang Liao was more than ten years younger, he might rush forward.

But. Zhang Liao is Zhang Liao in the end, among the generals surnamed Cao Wei, the gold content of the commander of the first group army is not bragging.

"If you don't dare, you can't!"

Zhang Liao arched his hand slightly, and said in a loud tone.

Guan Yu raised his head slightly, looked at Zhang Liao, and continued, "If this is the case, the old man will wait again. Wait until the day when Wenyuan "can fight", and then live and die! ”

After saying this, Guan Yu closed his eyes slightly, and sat on the second-generation red rabbit horse, as if he closed his eyes and recuperated with this attitude, there was no one in his eyes.

Zhang Hu felt that he couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to fight. was stopped by Zhang Liao.

How many pounds and taels does this kid have, can he be a father?!

This is a confrontation between the two armies, but it is not yesterday to drink and reminisce, if you dare to go up, Guan Yu will cut it with a knife, and I, the father, can't complain about Guan Yu anything.

One more. Isn't that just that, Guan Yu's arrogance is not a day or two, what is this arrogance.

Ignore him, collect the troops and return to the camp.

In this way, Guan Yu still led five hundred Pu swordsmen to stand outside the Cao army camp, waiting for Zhang Liao to fight alone, from sunrise in the morning to sunset in the evening. It wasn't until the sun sank that Guan Yu beckoned the soldiers and collected the troops back to the camp.

Zhang Liao just breathed a sigh of relief, but the next morning, Guan Yu came again.

It's still that person, it's the horse, and it's still followed by Deng Ai and the five hundred Pu swordsmen, and it's still standing a stone's throw in front of Cao's military camp.

is still that routine, let the soldiers shout and fight, and he closed his eyes and recuperated, waiting for Zhang Liao to fight.

Zhang Liao continued to close his fortress and strengthen his internal defense.

On the third day, or the fourth day of this routine, Guan Yu was still fighting outside the village. Day 5.

Well, Zhang Liao is also a little out of breath.

Although, on the first day of Guan Yu's battle, Zhang Liao had already made it clear at the gate of the camp that he was the commander in chief, and he couldn't go to Guan Yu alone, and it was a good job of calming the army's heart at that time.

But Guan Yu comes every day, every day, and after a long time, the hearts of the people in the army will also change.

People Guan Yu come every day, which shows that they are full of confidence.

Although our coach said that it is for the country, in order to live up to the trust of the Son of Heaven. But I haven't played for so long, don't really coax me, right?!

Really, the more people who think they are smart, the more they will have, and the more they think they are smart, the more willing they will be to tell others about their conjectures in order to show that they are different. It is extremely similar to those who concocted various conspiracy theories in later generations.

This kind of thing can't be stopped, and the more you explain it, the easier it is to make people believe in conspiracy theories. But you can't do it if you don't explain.

If this continues, the whole army thinks that Zhang Liao is afraid of Guan Yu and will not fight alone, which is also a very big impact on the morale of the army.

The only way to refute the rumors is for Zhang Liao to agree to Guan Yu's heads-up challenge and happily decide a life-and-death victory.

But Zhang Liao knew that he would never be able to do this, and the happiest person could only be Guan Yu.

The martial arts of the two are only between the two, although Zhang Liao is younger, he is already over fifty years old, and even if he has an advantage, it will not be too big.

Guan Yu's battle is not a simple martial arts competition, according to the standard of aristocratic battle in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is necessary to distinguish between life and death on the battlefield.

This matter, it seems to have advantages and disadvantages, as long as Zhang Liao can win head-to-head in front of the battle and kill Guan Yu, it will also be a very big blow to the morale of the Shu army.

Of course, it is impossible to expect the Shu army to retreat, after all, the current battlefield rules are no longer the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the main generals fought wars, and the losing side had to withdraw unconditionally, but now, it is no longer possible to pin the victory or defeat of a war on the victory or defeat of the main general's heads-up.

In other words, even if Zhang Liao captured Guan Yu on the battlefield, it could only hit the morale of the Shu army, and could not force the Shu army to retreat, and the strength in Zhang Liao's hands was not enough to support Zhang Liao to take advantage of the low morale of the Shu army to launch a counteroffensive against the Shu army.

So, as long as you think about it carefully, Zhang Liao can find that things that seem to have advantages and disadvantages are actually not good for him.

Even if he killed Guan Yu, it would be impossible for the Shu army to retreat, and at most it would weaken the morale and combat power of the Shu army.

And if he loses to Guan Yu and dies in battle, then with the few crooked melons and cracked dates left in Cao's army, they will not be able to stop the attack of the Shu army at all.

Again, no matter whether he wins or loses heads-up, Zhang Liao can't have any losses at all.

Even if Zhang Liao can defeat Guan Yu, it is impossible for him not to pay the price, and once he can't personally command the defense line at the price he pays, those generals in his own army can't be the opponents of Xu Shu, Deng Ai, and Guan Ping on the other side.

Again, if you lose, you are even less of an opponent.

What do you think, this heads-up is a very cost-effective thing, why agree?!

To sum up, Zhang Liao made up his mind that he didn't want to agree to Guan Yu's heads-up. can't stand Guan Yu coming here so much.

Even Zhang Hu made a very unkind proposal - anyway, there are not many people with Guan Yu, if his father doesn't like it, it is better to directly dispatch thousands of soldiers, rush up, and directly surround and kill Guan Yu.

Then Zhang Hu was caught by Zhang Liao and beaten fatly.

"Brute, you want to trap me in injustice?!"

While beating, Zhang Liao also scolded angrily.

It's so stupid, how did you give birth to such a stupid son?!

Look at Guan Yu's son on the other side, even his daughter dares to disguise herself as a man to kill the enemy. How did you come to your son's side and come up with these shameless tricks?!

Let's not talk about Guan Yu riding a red rabbit horse, can you surround people. Even if we can surround it, as long as we do this, your father's reputation will be ruined.

People are fighting before coming to the battle, according to the ancient etiquette, even if we don't agree, we have to send gifts to say hello and apologize, even if Guan Yu is really standing at the door of your camp, you can't hurt people at all.

It's the rule.

Although the rules of the battlefield in these years are completely different from the rules of the Spring and Autumn Period, they pay attention to strategy and change, and conspiracy and conspiracy come out together, and the first thing is to win, but there are some rules that cannot be broken.

Once it breaks through, it will make the war more and more bottomless, and in the end, it is not the nobles who suffer, but the ordinary soldiers and ordinary people.

Therefore, not only for his own fame, but also for the morality in his heart, but also for the inheritance of his family. This time, Zhang Hu must suffer.

He shouldn't have such a thought in his head. Even if there is, there should be a bottom line, that is, you can't really do it!
