"Guan Yu Pifu, afraid of the enemy like a mouse!"

"Guan Yu Pifu, afraid of the enemy like a mouse!"

Outside Xinye City, Wei sat with his armor off, laughing cross-legged, bowing down with his flag, and shouting insults.

On the city tower, Guan Ping clenched the hilt of his sword, furious. Tai Shiheng picked up the bow and arrows and wanted to shoot the Wei soldiers outside the city, but because of the range, he could only sigh angrily and feel humiliated.

Listening to the words abusing his father Guan Yu outside the city, Guan Ping clenched his gums, his eyes were like fierce light, and he couldn't wait to lead the army out of the city to kill the enemy to vent.

Tai Shi Heng knocked down the city wall and said angrily: "Hate Xinye without a three-bow bed crossbow, if there is this crossbow, it will let the thief army know the power of the bed crossbow." ”

The three-bow bed crossbow was developed by Huo Jun, and because of its large size, it was difficult to use with the army. Therefore, it is mostly arranged on the important city tower and used for the purpose of defending the city. For example, in Xiakou, Jiangling, Gong'an, Hefei, Hanzhong, Zhongli and other important passes, there are three-bow bed crossbows arranged.

It's a pity that Cao Wei has no intention of going south in recent years, and the three-bow bed crossbow has lost the stage for showing its prestige. At present, the new field that was first ordered by Guan Yu, due to the rush of time, the Southern Han Dynasty did not have time to arrange it, and only the ordinary infantry bow and strong crossbow in the city were used to defend the city.

Seeing that Guan Yu was sticking to the city, he had no intention of fighting. Cao Zhen rode his horse through the crowd and shouted: "Guan Yu, Guan Yu, the arrow is dead!" ”

"Shout!"

Wielding a horsewhip, Cao Zhen beckoned left and right, and said: "I have been insulting for a long time today, and Guan Yu has shown up. It is expected that Guan Yu was seriously injured by the arrow and needs to recuperate. insulted Guan Yu a lot, created rumors of Guan Yu's illness and death, and forced Guan Yu to show up, making it difficult for him to calm down. ”

"No!"

With Cao Zhen's orders, everyone on the left and right scolded more enthusiastically, not only insulting Guan Yu and the Han soldiers, but also Liu Bei.

"Guan Yu'er, sooner or later, he will die."

"Liu Bei Yongfu, incompetent rat generation."

In order to force Guan Yu to come out, Wei Zu was arranging the filthy story of Guan Yu and his daughter-in-law there, and Wei Zu watched it very energetically and applauded.

"Guan Ping is incompetent, Guan Yu picks up ashes."

"Color!"

Seeing that his father and wife were so choreographed and insulted, Guan Ping was so angry that he smashed the city wall and said angrily: "Cao Zhenxiao'er, I will kill him." ”

As he spoke, Guan Ping ripped off his collar and wanted to walk down the city angrily, as if he had the intention of going out of the city to fight.

simply abusing his father and himself with words, Guan Ping would not be so angry. But in front of the two armies, he blatantly arranged the story of his father and wife, how could Guan Ping, as a man, bear it? I can't wait to get out of the city and kill the enemy with a spear.

Seeing Guan Ping's plan, Tai Shiheng grabbed Guan Ping and said: "Huaihan, this is Cao Zhen's conspiracy, his words are insulting in every way, and it is to lure our army into battle. Now that Huaihan is out of the city, he will be defeated by Cao Zhen's strategy. ”

Guan Ping looked at the unprepared Wei pawn outside the city, gritted his teeth and said: "The thief army is lax and unprepared, and if you go out of the city to kill at this time, you will definitely be able to gain something!" ”

"No!"

"Cao Zhen is Cao Cao's important general, is he an unprepared person?"

Tai Shiheng pointed to the woods outside the city and said, "Today, Cao Zhen ordered the unprepared soldiers outside the city to verbally insult the general, which is a strategy to provoke the generals. Ruoheng's guess was correct, Cao Zhen had already ambushed soldiers and horses in the forest. If Huai Han is a fierce general, he will go out of the city to fight, and he will be attacked by Cao Zhen's ambush. When the army was defeated, I am afraid that the new field will be difficult to defend! ”

"I only hope that Huaihan will put major matters first, and he must not fall for Cao Zhen's treacherous schemes."

"Hey!"

Listening to Tai Shiheng's analysis, Guan Ping angrily pounded the wall again, and then continued to walk down the city tower.

Seeing that Guan Ping didn't seem to listen to his advice, Tai Shiheng looked nervous and shouted, "Huaihan wants to be bad? ”

Guan Ping pressed his sword and said angrily: "Go home!" ”

Hearing this, Tai Shiheng breathed a sigh of relief, just don't go out of the city to fight. Hold Xinye, block the way for the Wei army to go south, and the situation in Xiangfan is stable.

It was said before that Xinye is located north of Fancheng and south of Wancheng. However, not only that, Xinye is at the intersection of the two waters. Whoever occupies Xinye will cut off the two rivers and block the Wei army's southward journey.

Not to mention that Tai Shiheng stayed on the city tower, Guan Ping calmed down and went back to the mansion to visit Guan Yu, who was cultivating.

Guan Yu was half-lying on the couch, drinking the medicinal soup served by the doctor. Compared with the pale face before, Guan Yu's expression is slightly red now, and it is bloody.

After drinking the medicinal soup, seeing Guan Ping entering the hall in armor, Guan Yu asked: "There is a commotion today, but there are thieves inviting battle outside the city?" ”

Guan Ping hesitated a little and said: "Cao Zhen saw that our army had not fought for several days, and no longer sent people to invite battle, but built equipment and prepared to raise troops to attack the city. Today's uproar is for Yuan Fu to lead troops to practice. ”

"Bold!"

Guan Yu's face sank, and he said: "It is clearly Cao Zhen's voice of insulting and inviting war outside the city, why is he so deceived as a father?" ”

Seeing that Guan Yu knew about the things outside the city, Guan Ping sighed slightly and said: "My father was wounded by an arrow, and his sternum entered his body, so it is not appropriate to move rashly, and he should not be tired from running around." Today, Cao Zhen'er was insulting outside, and his words were filthy and ugly, and he really didn't dare to disturb his father. ”

Guan Yu's face was slightly gloomy, and he said: "Cao Zhen'er, Cao Cao's fake son, and his father is Qin Shao, does he have the face to come out?" ”

As he spoke, Guan Yu lifted the quilt and said, "The thief will verbally insult and lightly talk about my death by an arrow, so as to disturb the hearts of the soldiers in the city." If the father does not come forward today, he will encourage the morale of the army in the city, and the army's heart will be chaotic, which is the taboo of the soldiers! ”

"Father!"

Guan Ping hugged Guan Yu and said, "It's good to defend without fighting today, why do you need to go out of the city and show up?" ”

"Confused!"

Guan Yu scolded and said: "Today, Wancheng is defeated, the soldiers are in turmoil, and Cao Zhen said that I was killed by an arrow, and his words were provocative. If he doesn't show up, he is in the middle of Cao Zhen's meaning. At that time, the army was in turmoil, Cao Zhenyi soldiers in Zhang He, and ordered him to cross the river from the upper reaches of the Han River to relieve the siege of Xiangfan, and our army abandoned its previous achievements! ”

"Where's the armor?" Guan Yu greeted the attendant and shouted.

"Prince!"

Liao Hua heard the sound and wanted to enter the hall to persuade Guan Yu.

Guan Yu's expression was serious and emotional, and he said, "I am on the orders of His Majesty to attack Xiangfan. How can we abolish the country's major affairs now because of a mere arrow wound? Let me patrol the city in armor, and I will be a real child! ”

Seeing Guan Yu's words, everyone was forced by his majesty and had to put on armor for Guan Yu.

Guan Yu spread out his arms, and the attendants successively put on arm guards, fish scale armor, and armor skirts, and then tied the Han sword around their waists.

Guan Yu came out with his armor and sword, his expression was calm and imposing. Although there was a tingling sensation in his chest, he was endured by Guan Yu, and his actions were no different from ordinary people.

Guan Yu put on armor and went out of the house, climbed the ladder to the city, and talked and greeted the sergeants along the way, with a calm expression, so that the sergeants were mostly at ease, and they all ran with joy.

"Prince!"

"Prince!"

and Guan Yu appeared on the city tower, and cheers burst out from the city, no longer the low morale of the previous verbal abuse by the Wei army.

When Guan Yu wore a beast face and appeared behind the female wall, the Wei army who was cursing outside the city listened to the warm sound on the city tower and looked towards the city tower, but saw the majestic figure of Guan Yu, and couldn't help but be quiet.

"General, is that person Guan Yuhu?"

The attendant pointed to the burly figure on the castle tower and said.

Cao Zhen's face was slightly gloomy, and he rode forward, hiding behind his shield.

Guan Yu glanced at the sergeants outside the city with his Danfeng eyes, sank his dantian, and said in a deep voice: "Cao Zhenxiao'er, do you know Guan Yunchang?" ”

Looking at the quiet Wei pawn outside the city, Guan Yu put his hand on the hilt of the sword and said with a smile: "Say hello to Xu Gongming for Guan, see you in the future, I will behead him." ”

Listening to Guan Yu's angry and loud words, Cao Zhen's face changed suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Guan Yu was hit by an arrow in the chest, could it be fake?" ”

Guan Yu endured the pain, stroked his beard with his hand, smiled left and right, and said: "Cao Zhen'er, you know how to fight." Today is the method of agitation, I didn't want to patrol the city, but I am afraid that the sons will not know this strategy. Today, I will patrol the city and warn the sons not to go out lightly, and Xiangfan will not be able to go down in a few days! ”

"Tired Prince!"

The morale of the city generals was high and they gave up.

Liao Hua was in the crowd, and when he saw Guan Yu's calm expression, talking and laughing, and looking uninjured, he said with emotion: "The prince is a true god!" ”

Looking at the Han army on the city tower, the morale of the Han army was greatly increased, and the Wei soldiers looked at each other, not knowing whether to continue to abuse.

"General, is it to continue to insult Guan Yu?" The squire asked.

Cao Zhen held the reins, looked up at the gradually disappearing figure, and said lightly: "Guan Yu showed up, and the morale of the water thieves has soared. Today, Mingjin will return to the camp for the time being, and he will come back tomorrow to invite the battle. ”

"No!"

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

The sound of gold sounded from the Wei army's array, and the Wei soldiers got up and retreated, their retreat was orderly, not the sloppy and disorderly pawns before.

Back in Dazhai, Cao Zhen rode his horse into the camp, but he met Sima Yi, who had been waiting for a long time.

"How's it going today?" Sima Yi asked.

Cao Zhen turned over and dismounted, handed the war horse to the attendants, shook his head and said: "The water thieves defend the city without fighting, and let our army insult them in every way." Even if it doesn't come out. People said that Guan Yu was seriously ill with an arrow, but now he saw Guan Yu appearing and inspiring the left and right sergeants, just like ordinary people, not with arrow wounds. ”

Sima Yi pondered for a while and said: "Guan Yu is both wise and brave, how can he not know that this is a strategy to motivate the generals." And Guan Yu is strong, he has arrow wounds all over his body, in order to stimulate the morale of the army, he will wear armor to patrol the city to show that his body is fine. ”

"How is that good?"

Cao Zhen was a little worried, and said: "Today, Guan Yu is patrolling the city in armor, and the morale of the soldiers has risen greatly. There are more than 10,000 water thieves, defending the city, unless they are lured out of the city to fight, it is difficult to break the city! ”

Sima Yi stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "Although Guan Yu has an arrogant temperament, he is unwilling to live under others. But he is resourceful and resourceful, not reckless. It is not advisable to make ordinary radical tactics, it is advisable to observe the disadvantages of his temperament, apply strategies, and then provoke Guan Yu to fight. ”

"What's the plan?" Cao Zhen asked.

Sima Yi smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth and said, "I don't know if Zheng Chu knows the thief hussar general Huo Jun?" ”

"I know!"

Cao Zhen nodded and said, "Huo Jun is unparalleled in his army, and he can't be conscripted unless His Majesty personally recruits him." ”

"Very good!"

Sima Yi lowered his voice and said: "According to the details, Guan Yu has always been unwilling to be under others, Liu Bei is to appease Guan Yu, the first general Zuo, with his own special situation, and Huo Jun is respected. Later, he pretended to succeed to the throne by the Mandate of Heaven, so that the general was the same as the hussar general, and the senior one was the hussar general. ”

"Awarded Huo Jun as the general of the hussars, and worshiped Guan Yu as the general, which shows how Guan Yu's heart is. Today, if Chu wants to provoke Guan Yu to fight, he may be able to borrow the name of Huo Jun. ”

"Huh?"

Cao Zhen stroked his short beard and said: "Zhongda's meaning is to respect Huo Jun and degrade Guan Yu. So as to provoke Guan Yu to fight? ”

"Yes!"

Sima Yi smiled and said, "The general can write to Guan Yu in the name of the right general, and the general in the letter respects Huo Jun and belittles Guan Yu. said, 'I am not afraid of Guan Niang in the east of the river, but I am afraid of Huo Hu in Jianghuai. I thought it was to provoke Guan Yu. ”

Saying that, Sima Yi laughed a few times and said: "And the general can send women's clothes and Guan Yu, Guan Yu has a strong temperament, and when he sees the letter, he praises Huo Jun and degrades him as a woman and a child." With Guan Yu's temperament, can An endure this humiliation? ”

Hearing the details of Sima Yi's strategy, Cao Zhen applauded and laughed, and said: "I often know that Zhongda is outstanding in political affairs, but I didn't expect to have a strategy. Wancheng planned to lure Guan Yu and ambush the soldiers to win. At present, Guan Yu is given a woman's costume, and Huo Jun is provoked. With Guan Yu's heart, he will be fooled more often. ”

"No!"

Sima Yi stroked his beard and said proudly: "If Guan Yu is seriously injured, it is difficult to use soldiers. This strategy will surely make them angry, or burst their wounds, or they will be indescribable, and they will benefit our army! ”

After a pause, Sima Yi added: "The general can write to the army and inform His Majesty of the battle report. If the war in Runan is worry-free, His Majesty may be able to divide his troops to Jingxiang, press the border with heavy troops, and relieve the siege of Xiangfan before the year. ”

"And General Zuo's troops can break Mengda, so General Zuo can go south to see if he can cross the Han River to Hannan, first solve the difficulty of Xiangyang, and then solve the danger of Fancheng."

"Reasonable!"

Cao Zhen paced with his sword and said: "Guan Yu's army defeated Wancheng and sent troops and horses to the north, and his Xiangfan siege must be empty. Today, the water thieves control the Han River, and it must be the soldiers of Fancheng, and the soldiers of Xiangyang are few. Solve the siege of Xiangyang first, and then cross the Han River, echoing with the inside of Fancheng, and will be able to completely solve the siege of Xiangfan. ”

Saying that, Cao Zhen arranged the task and said: "Since the strategy to provoke the enemy is offered by Zhong Da, Zhong Da should write a letter; Your Majesty has written a letter to General Zuo, and I will write it. ”

"No!"
