Chapter 649: Heavy Snow
Actually, there really isn't any conspiracy, it's simply because Guan Yu, the general of the Han Dynasty and the commander of the Jingzhou Army, relapsed from his old injury and fell ill.
Guan Yu's injury is indeed much lighter than Zhang Liao's injury, but there is a hole in the chest and abdomen, and it also hurts the internal organs.
It's just that Guan Yu is luckier than Zhang Liao is that Guan Yu's subordinates still have some helpers, whether it is the eldest son Guan Ping or the son-in-law Deng Ai, the ability is good, of course, the most important thing is that Guan Yu also has a Xu Shu in the army who can suppress the formation, so that Guan Yu still needs to be like Zhang Liao, obviously seriously injured, and he also needs to worry about the defense of the army and boost the morale of the army.
Compared with the unlucky Zhang Liao, Guan Yu had to recuperate for seven or eight days, so that he could hold on to his injuries, and commanded the army to attack for three days, completely breaking through Deng County.
And when Deng County broke through, Guan Yu's heart was a little more relaxed, and after learning the news of his friend's death, his mood was a little low. This toss, the day after entering the city, I couldn't get up.
This time the injury recurred, no matter how Guan Yinping helped Guan Yu physically cool down, Guan Yu was always a little dazed, awake for a while, lethargic for a while, and his body temperature was also high and low. In this case, of course, Guan Ping could not leave Guan Yu alone in Deng County and send troops to attack Wancheng by himself.
Therefore, because of Guan Yu's sudden illness, the matter of entering the army was delayed for a while.
This matter is definitely not good for Dahan.
Although the Wei army retreated to Wancheng, but after all, it is a newly defeated division, and the morale of the army is bound to be sluggish, and now the commander Zhang Liao has died in Deng County, and now he is marching into Wancheng, it must be the time when the benefits are greatest, maybe the defenders of Wancheng may surrender without a fight.
But. Whether it was Guan Ping or Xu Shu, they were not in a hurry to march.
After all, this is Guan Yu, and Guan Yu's importance to the Han army is no worse than Zhang Liao's importance to the Great Wei army.
Even in terms of position and influence, Guan Yu's health and safety are much more important than a mere Wancheng.
Therefore, after discussing with Xu Shu, Deng Ai, and Wang Ji, Guan Ping decided to postpone the march to Wancheng so that Guan Yu could have time to recuperate with peace of mind.
Fortunately, when Guan Yu was injured just now, Xu Shu sent someone to Xiangyang and asked Zhang Ji's eldest disciple Du Du to come to Guan Yu for treatment, and also went to Jiangdong to find Hua Tuo's disciple Fan A.
At this time, Hua Tuo's disciple Fan A had not been invited for the time being, but Du Du, who was sorting out the master's manuscripts and writings in Yuelu Academy, immediately rushed to Deng County after receiving the news.
On the third day after the army entered Deng County, that is, the day after Guan Yu fell into a daze, he rushed to Deng County.
Du Du is the true biography of the deep Zhang Ji, especially in the field of typhoid fever, and he can be regarded as a person with considerable achievements.
Therefore, for Guan Yu's body fever, a moment of soberness, and a moment of confusion, it can be regarded as a professional counterpart, after several treatments, Guan Yu's high fever gradually receded, and the person gradually sobered up.
But the problem is that Du Du's profession is really not surgery, and he rarely says so about the treatment of trauma, even if Zhang Ji himself is here, I am afraid he can only scratch his head about Guan Yu's chest and abdomen injury.
Most of the time, the treatment of diseases still depends on experience, and no one dares to start without enough experience in the field that they are not good at.
Du Du is good at the same field as his master Zhang Ji, all of them are typhoid fever, and he rarely dabbles in external injuries, so he does not dare to easily diagnose and treat them.
In addition, Du Du heard that Xu Shu had sent someone to Jiangdong to invite Hua Tuo's disciple Fan A, so he naturally hoped that Fan A would treat Guan Yu's injury, and what he could do was to control Guan Yu's injury as much as possible so that it would not deteriorate.
Thanks to Du Du's diagnosis and treatment, Guan Yu finally woke up again after being in a coma for three days.
Then Guan Ping was unlucky.
As soon as he heard that the army had not been marched on the fifth day of Deng Xian, Guan Yu suddenly became angry in his heart.
Your own injuries and national events, which one is light and which one is serious, don't you have any points in your heart?!
Guan Yu didn't say anything to Xu Shu, but his own son, he can always train him!
immediately called Guan Ping over, and gave Guan Ping this training, and he was almost bloody.
At this time, it was Du Du who came forward to save Guan Ping.
Du Du told Guan Yu that if you are angry and want to vent your anger, you can train your son to be angry and play according to Zhang Ji's theory, and it is not a bad thing to vent when you encounter anger and depression.
But this kind of thing, you have to stop in moderation, what to say, you can't train endlessly, don't look back, the more you train, the more angry you become, if you really want to hurt your body, then don't blame the doctor for not reminding you.
gave Guan Yu a scolding, but I didn't know whether to continue to scold Guan Ping or not to scold.
After all, Xu Shu was more reasonable, and sent Guan Ping, Deng Ai and others away first, so as not to let Guan Yu look angry, and then stay by himself and discuss it calmly with Guan Yu.
According to Xu Shu's meaning, it has been delayed for five days anyway, and if there is a change in Wancheng, it is too late to rush over now, so it is better to take a temporary rest in Deng County.
This is not Xiangyang, Ma Liang's second batch of grain and grass has not been shipped yet, just right, let's not rush to march, wait for the grain and grass to arrive first, and then march to Wancheng.
But Guan Yu was still unwilling, and he didn't want to give up the good opportunity to attack like this. What if Cao Wei's side can't find anyone to preside over the defense of Wancheng for a while, and there are not enough troops to support?!
Again, it's already deep winter now, this year is God's face, there has been no heavy snow, in case it is delayed for a few days, if it snows heavily, then march into Wancheng, isn't it more troublesome? !
And then bar. Guan Yu's mouth was as if it had opened the light, and the next day, it began to snow in the Central Plains, and this time, it was raining for more than ten days in a row.
Even if Guan Yu wants to enter Wancheng, he will not be able to use troops for a while, at least he has to wait until the snow stops and see how fast the snow melts before he can decide whether to enter the army.
In this way, heavy snow fell from the sky, temporarily blocking the pace of the Jingzhou army to go north to Wancheng.
And in the same way, in the Guanzhong area next door, it was already snowy at this time.
The climatic conditions in the hinterland of the Central Plains are better than those in Guanzhong, and heavy snow has already begun to fall, let alone in Guanzhong.
In the Guanzhong area, it has been snowing since the beginning of December, and it has been raining until now, whether it is the attacking side of the Han Northern Expeditionary Corps or the defending side of the Great Wei Guanzhong Legion, all of them have fallen into bad luck.
Needless to say, the attacking side's Han Northern Expedition Corps finally defeated the main force of Cao Wei's Central Army in Weishui, although Cao Wei's Guanzhong Army withdrew some of its soldiers, but after all, it completely occupied the Guanzhong area near Meixian, and with a springboard to enter Sanfu, it can be said that it was a complete victory.
It's a pity that a heavy snowfall made the Northern Expeditionary Corps, which originally planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue, have to temporarily withdraw to Meixian County to rest, and at the same time, Liu Bei had to quickly send an order to Zhang Xi in the direction of Wugong County, asking him to quickly suspend the plan to march to Sanfu and rest in place.
It was also a sneak attack on Meixian County that captured enough grain and grass, otherwise this snowy day would also be a very big test for the logistical pressure of the Northern Expeditionary Corps.
As for the Great Wei Guanzhong Army on the defending side, the sudden fall of heavy snow did bring a rare respite to Cao Zhen and Guo Huai, who retreated to Chang'an, and it was a good opportunity to recuperate and restore the morale of the army.
But he couldn't stand it, and the emperor of Great Wei sent a message, asking Cao Zhen to lead the Guanzhong army to evacuate Guanzhong and abandon Chang'an.
Regarding this edict, Cao Zhen and Guo Huai can still understand it to some extent.
Although the road is closed by heavy snow now, the Shu thieves can't kill Sanfu for a while, and they can indeed take a breath.
But the most critical problem has not been solved - there are no reinforcements.
Cao Pi can't solve this matter for a while, unless he has the courage to completely lift the lid on the people of Tuntian, otherwise, Cao Pi will not be able to immediately realize a group of soldiers.
Although it stands to reason that the Great Wei is only in Luoyang, there are more than 50,000 Tuntian people, plus the Tuntian people in Hongnong, Hedong, Hanoi and other places, the total number is also quite a lot.
If you really want to recruit these Tuntian people into the army, it is not that there are not enough troops to support Chang'an.
But the problem is that the people of Tuntian include all men, women, and children, and the soldiers who can serve in the army can only be young and strong. You have transferred all the young and strong away, leaving the old and young women to farm, what is the difference between this and the land that has been abandoned for a year?!
This is also the reason why Cao Pi did not dare to officially open up with the family.
The families embezzle the people of Tuntian, what they care about is not those old and young women, they also value the young and strong If you Cao Pi really all conscripted into the army to fight, if they all die in the future, who will they embezzle?!
Doing so will inevitably make the families in the Sili region very dissatisfied.
Therefore, Cao Pi did not have enough reinforcements to support Chang'an, Cao Zhen and Guo Huai were understandable, it was really not possible, so they shrank their forces, gave up Feng Yi on the left and Fufeng on the right, and it was not impossible to trap Chang'an.
It's just that now even after a big defeat, all the soldiers who withdrew to Chang'an together are only 23,000 people, and the morale of the army is extremely low, fortunately it is the heavy snow that blocks the road, blocking the pursuit of the Shu thieves, but in case the snow turns faster, Liu Bei is really in Chang'an, Cao Zhen and Guo Huai do not dare to pack tickets and say, Chang'an must be able to hold.
At this time, Cao Pi's edict arrived, allowing Cao Zhen and Guo Huai to abandon Chang'an, to be honest, the two were relieved in their hearts.
But in the second half of the edict, the two of them brought this tone up again.
Cao Pi issued an edict requiring the two to move the people of Sanfu and the family into the customs.
On this snowy day, the people are not happy to go out, and you let people migrate hundreds of miles in this weather, and all of them retreat into the Central Plains?!
Is this sure to be alive or dead?!
