Chapter 630: Heads-up
One thing to say, Xu Shu's example is very clever and very convincing. Compared with Deng Ai's words that directly said that Guan Yu didn't understand "the way to general", it was much more ingenious.
But Guan Yu still couldn't listen.
is still the same sentence, the three views are different, the focus of the discussion between the two sides is different, and they can't talk about going together at all.
Guan Yu also admitted that Xu Shu's words were right, but this did not conflict with his promise to fight with Zhang Liao.
If it is said that Zhang Liao took the initiative to fight this matter, then Xu Shu said this, Guan Yu could accept it, and then rejected Zhang Liao just like Zhang Liao rejected himself before.
But it was Guan Yu who brought it up first. Guan Yu's heart, he can't get over that hurdle.
Again, Guan Yu is a whole, focusing on Xinyi, and now for the sake of the so-called big thing, let him give up Xinyi This is not something Guan Yu can do.
This is also why Huarong Dao folded, obviously made up by Luo Guanzhong, but everyone believes that this is something that the second master can do.
After all, this person really gave up his glory and wealth, rode alone for thousands of miles, and defected to Liu Bei, who didn't even have a decent army at that time.
Such a person, if he is really put on Huarong Dao, he may really repay his kindness for faith and righteousness and let Cao Cao have a way out.
Doesn't Guan Yu know that if you don't do some things, you can recover the Han Dynasty more easily?!
Guan Yu actually knows, but there are some things in his heart that he can't help but do.
One more. Xu Shu's example is somewhat problematic.
Han Xin is a person who can endure the humiliation of his crotch for his ideals, but our second master is a person who has really been incognito because of murder and has been forced to flee his hometown for more than ten years.
The second master, who has been in exile for more than ten years and doesn't even dare to leak his real name, understands Han Xin's situation very well, but he really doesn't have much sense of identity with Han Xin's behavior of enduring humiliation.
The big husband is in the world, when he is happy to take revenge, to fight on the battlefield, when he is shrouded in horse leather and returns the humiliation of his crotch, what kind of thing is this?!
Who said murderers can't make a career?!
Again, if this is changed to Zhuge Liang, the second master may still have a sense of identity, but you Xu Shu. I said, in the early years, because of revenge and murder for friends, the person who had to change his name and surname is also you, right?!
Why didn't you know at that time that you had to endure humiliation and bear a heavy burden in order to revive the Han Dynasty?!
What Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin, can do, is really not something that ordinary people can do. Since you think there are things you have to do, what qualifications do you have to persuade me now?!
So Xu Shu's words, the second master couldn't listen to them at all.
There is one sentence, Xu Shu is really not wrong - the affairs in the army only depend on the general's ears.
Guan Yu is the general of the Han Dynasty and the supreme commander of the Jingzhou Front, and the war in Nanyang is indeed decided by him alone.
If Guan Yu really decided to do something, even if it was Xu Shu, it could only be a tactful persuasion, and if the persuasion could not be done, Xu Shu would not have a good way.
Therefore, Xu Shu and others could only watch Guan Yu write a reply to Zhang Liao, and the two sides agreed that three days later, at the gate of Dazhai, they would win a heads-up victory.
If you think about it from the perspective of watching the excitement, the two world's famous generals go head-to-head to decide, no matter when it is put aside, it is an event worth writing about. But for the generals and parties on both sides, this is not a good thing.
This is a key battle related to the victory or defeat of the entire Nanyang war, whoever wins, who can have the upper hand in the Nanyang war.
The soldiers who don't have a big picture may still want to watch the excitement, but whether it is the Han camp or the Cao Wei camp, the middle-level generals are worried about this matter.
is also in the camp on both sides, there are too many cronies and family members of the coach, how can you let Guan Ping and Zhang Hu calmly look at the fact that their father is going to run to fight with others? !
But whether it is Zhang Liao or Guan Yu, they are all famous generals in the world, and it is impossible to change the things that have been agreed.
Therefore, three days later, in front of the two armies, the two generals rode out of the ranks.
Both of them are wearing a full set of Mingguang armor, the difference is that Zhang Liao Mingguang is wearing a black robe under the armor, and the second master, under the Mingguang armor is a green robe, not a green robe, it is a green robe.
The "blue" that comes out of the blue is dark blue.
Zhang Liao chased the wind under his crotch, with a bright silver gun in his hand, his tiger's eyes were round and majestic.
The second master has a red rabbit horse under his crotch, a green dragon knife in his hand, and his phoenix eyes are slightly closed, which is terrifying.
In front of the two armies, the two opened the formation, neither reminiscing nor answering, just waiting for the two to rein in their horses, glanced at each other, and invariably urged the war horses to rush each other away.
Such a direct heads-up suddenly hung the hearts of the generals who were watching the battle and at the same time just in case.
When the two horses were staggered, Zhang Liao took the lead in choosing to attack, and stabbed out with a shot, directly hitting Guan Yu's chest, and Guan Yu did not panic, raised his knife and slammed open the spear that Zhang Liao stabbed.
This is the end of the first round.
In this round, both sides were trying, so there was nothing special, Zhang Liao's strong attack did not do his best, and Guan Yu's block did not bring back moves.
After some temptation, both of them have an intuitive understanding of each other's current martial arts - they are not easy to mess with.
Zhang Liao originally thought that as he grew older, Guan Yu's strength should decline, but in fact, judging from the process of the one-round fight, even if Guan Yu's strength decreased, it was only a limited decline.
And Guan Yu also found that Zhang Liao has been in a high position over the years, but his martial arts have not fallen, but he has become more and more proficient, and his grasp of fighters has also improved a lot. is only in terms of strength, after all, he is still a little worse than himself.
Both sides have the possibility of winning, but equally, both sides have the possibility of losing.
After this round of temptation, Zhang Liao and Guan Yu took a deep breath and tightened the blades in their hands.
Zhang Liao's face was solemn, and he didn't dare to be careless, and the second master. The second master finally opened his eyes.
No one gave orders, but the two of them broke out as if they had made an appointment, and at the same time a loud roar erupted, urging the horses again, and the two sides fought again.
The war horse under the crotch began to speed up again, roaring towards the other party.
In the second round, the second master did not give Zhang Liao a chance to attack, but took the initiative to grab in front of Zhang Liao, holding the knife in both hands, and slashed down.
It's about winning with strength.
Zhang Liao saw the second master's big knife coming, and suddenly he didn't dare to be careless in the face of Guan Yu's move, and the people who dared to be careless had basically gone underground to see the king of Hades.
did not hesitate at the moment, gave up the offensive option, made a block with both hands with a horizontal gun, and barely blocked the knife with the help of two horses and one mistake, but his arm was also a little numb.
This is the end of the second round, and the two did not rest for a long time, and after separating for a distance, they invariably turned and did not stop, and directly started the third round of the fight.
In the third round, Zhang Liao pretended to attack and raised his gun to stab, but a shot was not stabbed for a long time, and it was not until the two horses staggered that he leaned over and stabbed a shot, directly under Guan Yu's ribs.
And Guan Yu, he didn't hold back any kindness, the big knife kept dragging and didn't move, waiting for Zhang Liao to make a move and the two horses were staggered, Zhang Liao stabbed a shot, Guan Yu immediately turned around on the horse to dodge, and at the same time, after twisting, he turned back with a strong waist and abdomen strength, and then a knife was swung out, slashing at Zhang Liao's back.
Zhang Liao was shocked.
A shot stabbed out of the air, he just collected the gun and came back, at this time, after the two horses staggered, his back was wide open, and he didn't have time to turn around to defend.
In a hurry, Zhang Liao could only gamble, suddenly rushed forward and hugged the horse's head, his body was as slightly sideways as possible, hiding on the side of the horse's body, and he was able to avoid Guan Yu's knife.
One thing to say, this move shocked everyone present, whether it was the onlookers or the rival Guan Yu.
Zhang Liao's move is somewhat similar to the "hiding in stirrups" in later generations, but the problem is that there are no stirrups in these days.
In the era when there were no stirrups, playing "hiding in stirrups" was not only a matter of equestrian level, but also very high requirements for a person's core strength.
Even the young people present didn't think they could do Zhang Liao's degree.
You must know that Zhang Liao is in his fifties this year.
After this round, Guan Yu did not take advantage of the situation to launch the fourth round of the battle, but instead stood still and praised Zhang Liao, "Wen Yuan is good at martial arts!" ”
Zhang Liao also hurriedly took the opportunity to stabilize his mood, smiled slightly, and said, "The prince is a good means. ”
On the one hand, both sides are indeed praising each other out of sincerity.
Everyone is old, one in his fifties and the other in his early sixties, and it is rare to be able to maintain such a level of martial arts.
On the other hand, both of them are taking the opportunity to take a break.
In the end, he is also old, although his martial arts have not fallen, but his endurance is not as good as when he was young.
The gap between the martial arts of the two sides was not big, but now under the full battle, in just three rounds, Guan Yu felt that his arms were a little sore, and Zhang Liao's arms were still slightly numb, and his recovery ability was not as good as when he was young.
Both men know that they can't fight a protracted war.
If you really want to fight back and forth for dozens of rounds like when you were young, once you run out of strength, you will definitely lose yourself, especially Guan Yu, and you will feel this very deeply.
After all, Guan Yu is in his early sixties, and judging by common sense, Guan Yu thinks that his ability to fight for a long time is definitely not as good as Zhang Liao, and fighting a protracted war will definitely be very detrimental to himself.
And very coincidentally, Zhang Liao also thought so.
Zhang Liao thinks that Guan Yu is in his early sixties, and he still maintains such a level of strength and martial arts, if he continues to fight for a long time, he really can't survive him.
Therefore, after a little rest, the two made the same decision at the same time - it was necessary to make a quick decision.
When the two men fought again at the start of round four, they almost unanimously took a rush approach, and both men were taken aback by the other party's choice.
This is the case in round battles, with the speed of the war horse, the moment the two fight, there is not even a second of time, and the changes that can be made are limited.
When both of them choose to attack, it will be very difficult to change the tactics of battle.
At this time, it is the resilience of both sides that fights.
Guan Yu's reaction was a little faster after all, and at the same time, Guan Yu also had an advantage - what he had in his crotch was a red rabbit horse.
Although it is a second-generation red rabbit horse, after all, it has excellent genes and is carefully bred by Guan Yu, and the tacit understanding of one person and one horse is very sufficient.
At this critical moment, Guan Yu clamped the horse's belly hard, and after the red rabbit horse understood, he could barely jump more than two feet when he sprinted at high speed, wanting to help Guan Yu avoid the shot from Zhang Liao's stab.
As long as he dodged this shot, Guan Yu used his horsepower to condescendingly slash at Zhang Liao, believing that Zhang Liao would not be able to dodge at all, and his head would inevitably fall to the ground.
And Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao did suffer a loss.
Although Zhang Liao's horse is also known as the "Wind Chasing Horse", this thing is just as much like the self-styled and the recognized one. Horses are also good horses, but compared to red rabbit horses, they are a little worse.
Zhang Liao couldn't rush the horse to jump in a high-speed sprint.
But Zhang Liao's reaction was not much slower than Guan Yu's.
When Guan Yu tried to dodge the spear he stabbed out on the prancing horse, Zhang Liao knew that today's victory and defeat were here.
Or, he was dodged by Guan Yu with one shot, and he was defeated by Guan Yu's knife.
Either Zhang Liao has no choice, so he can only let it go.
He clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly, and actually stood up suddenly on the war horse, not dodging at all, and stabbed Guan Yu straight with his spear.
As soon as the two horses met, they each galloped away.
But the generals immediately fell off their horses and fell on the dust, motionless.
