Chapter 198 Remember, Guan Yu is more than just a warrior
Jiangxia is a city and county with a long history.
His jurisdiction corresponded to later Wuhan, Huanggang, Xianning, Xiaogan and parts of Xinyang, Henan.
His administrative seat "Xiling" was located in the Huangpi District of Wuhan in later generations, extending to Nanyang, Henan Province in the north, adjacent to Xiajun in the south, Zhongxiang in the west, and Qichun in the east.
It is a military town that radiates throughout Jiangxia.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei, Shu, and Wu each established Jiangxia County and divided up all the jurisdictions here. It was not until the Western Jin Dynasty that the jurisdiction of Jiangxia County in Eastern Wu was changed to Wuchang County.
——This is a city of heroes with a long history!
And now, Cao Wei's administrative seat in Jiangxia is exactly this 'Xiling County'!
It is said that it leads to Nanyang in the north, threatens Xiakou in the west, intimidates Soochow in the south, and faces the huge Yangzhou in the east... It was once the "meat grinding ground" when Yuan Shu became emperor, and is now the important grain gathering place of Cao Wei - Shouchun!
In other words, if Guan Yu captures this place, it will not only threaten the entire Nanyang area.
Even Shouchun was under his attack!
Speaking of which…
Originally, there was chaos here because of the death of General Wenpin.
All the civil and military personnel were in panic all day long, fearing that the Guan Army would attack...
Fortunately, there are "Anlu County" and "Shiyang County" in the west of "Xiling County", and "Pingchun County", "Mian County", and "Xiyang County" in the north. Even if the Guan family army comes over, it is impossible.
Bypassing these cities and counties, the army went deep alone.
Therefore…
Although Wenpin died, the overall situation of "Xiling" has not collapsed yet and is barely stable.
And at this time...
Xiling ushered in the first snow in the 20 years of Jian'an, and in the heavy snow, they also ushered in their new backbone-Liu Ye!
This descendant of Fuling King Liu Yan, the son of Emperor Guangwu, was the counselor who made countless great achievements in setting sail for Cao Wei.
No matter in terms of status or past achievements, Liu Ye can replace Wenpin and control the situation.
This is also the reason why Cao Cao immediately sent Liu Ye back to Xudu after capturing Hanzhong.
At this moment, countless civil and military personnel surrounded Liu Ye.
"——Mr. Liu? How can Jiangxia defend it now?"
"——If Guan Yu makes a large-scale invasion and we don't have enough soldiers and horses, and we don't have any magical weapons, then... that will be a big disaster!"
"——Didn't I hear that General Yu Jin is going to lead troops from Runan to help Jiangxia? Where are General Yu Jin's soldiers? Where are his soldiers?"
"——Mr. Liu, I heard that you once improved the catapult into a thunderbolt chariot, which severely damaged Yuan Jun's soldiers and horses in the Battle of Guandu... If Yuan Jun's army retreated thirty miles, we still have a few catapults here, otherwise
…Mr. Liu also made some improvements to ward off powerful enemies? At least this can make us feel more at ease!"
As soon as Liu Ye arrived, a group of civil and military officials surrounded him and asked questions.
In sharp contrast to the panic and confusion of these people, Liu Ye was calm and calm.
While stroking his beard, he said: "Everyone, relax, relax... Not only can Guan Yu not be able to defeat him, but now he is probably ambushed from all sides and has become a turtle in a urn!"
Speaking of this, Liu Ye changed the subject.
"I heard that the plums in Xiling County are the best. "Shangshu" also says, 'If you want to make a soup, you can only use salted plums.' This means, 'If you want a pot of food to have a delicious taste, you must add salt.
Pickled plums... If you want the country to prosper, you need people like plums who can coordinate all kinds of things. Since you are here in Xiling today, how about letting me, the plum, taste the plums here?"
Liu Ye compared himself to a plum, as if there was a "Shang Shu" in which he compared himself to a talent who could coordinate various things for the empire!
Of course, the civil and military personnel in Jiangxia are not so transparent...
All they experience is...
At this time, Liu Ye actually wanted to eat "plums"!
When did this special meow become a god?
Mr. Liu's calmness shocked everyone here.
"Oh..." Liu Ye continued: "I forgot, in addition to plums, plum blossoms are also unique in Jiangxia. There are plums in the piao, but they are actually seven! I pray that I, a common man, will be lucky; there are plums in the piao.
, In fact, it’s three! I beg you, a common man, to show you today! There are plums in the basket, and they are scattered in a basket! Please ask me, a common man, to show them, hahaha... All the plums on the tree have fallen, and there are only a few left on the tree.
Qi Cheng, the good man who wants to marry me, don’t miss the youth of the most beautiful plum!"
Liu Ye's calmness shocked all the civil and military officials here.
He... isn't he afraid at all?
Are you not worried about the Guan army taking advantage of the victory to invade?
How do you feel... This "commander" sent by Xu Ducheng is not here to defend the enemy, he is clearly here for vacation!
Of course, as a "grand strategist" Liu Ye, in his opinion, Guan Yu would never attack Jiangxia. Liu Ye prides himself on knowing people accurately, especially Guan Yu. His arrogance is unparalleled, and he is destined not to
Give up the bear's paw and take the fish!
Liu Ye boasted that he had seen through Guan Yu, which was why he felt confident.
What's more, in Cao Cao's plan, Guan Yu was about to fall into the "Ambush from Flying Daggers". In this battle of Gaixia, which took place four hundred years ago, to capture Guan Yu and strangle the Guan family's army, this snow can actually cover the whole area.
The blood and dust of the earth.
Thinking of this, Liu Ye became more and more confident. He raised his hand and continued chanting: "Where is Zhongnan? There are plum blossoms in the south. A gentleman is the best, with a rich fox fur and a face like Wodan. What a gentleman! Why...you guys
With so many officials, why don’t you take me to see the beauty of plum blossoms and enjoy their nobility and fragrance?”
All the officials looked at each other.
This is really true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are.
Come on... the "backbones" that Xu Ducheng photographed are so confident, they are still... still afraid of a caterpillar?
…
…
In Hanzhong, there are many caves dug densely in the mountains.
This was once the stronghold of the Five Dou Rice Sect, but now it is where Cao Cao hides his troops.
At this moment, Cao Cao was sitting in front of the case, with Xu Huang and Zhang He on either side.
Xu Chu hurriedly stepped into it and said, "I'm reporting to the Prime Minister. I'm here to report that Liu Bei has removed the protection of all the passes on Micang Road and Lychee Road. Now there are no more than a thousand soldiers at the two passes!"
Xu Huang and Zhang He, who were standing aside, both had their eyes twinkling.
Xu Huang said: "As the prime minister expected, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang fell into the trap!"
Cao Cao laughed "haha".
He immediately stood up, raised his hand and directly ordered: "This is a God-given opportunity. We start from Hanzhong and take the mountain road to Fuling and Bazhong. The mountains here are steep and difficult to be noticed. The two generals will set off tonight! Take Fuling and Bazhong respectively.
city!"
Xu Huang and Zhang He both raised their hands.
"Here——"
While talking, the two of them were about to get ready.
"Two generals, wait a minute." Cao Cao added a question, "I just want to ask the two generals, how many days will it take to capture Fuling and Bazhong?"
this…
Zhang He and Xu Huang looked at each other and exchanged glances. Zhang He said first: "The mountain road is difficult to walk, so you have to pay attention to your privacy. We will arrive in five days, and we can break the city on the day we arrive!"
Xu Huang echoed: "The last general is also five days!"
Cao Cao shook his head leisurely, "I can't wait five days alone!"
"Looking at the rice warehouse alone, there are two paths of lychees and dense forests, and the terrain is dangerous. There are high mountains on both sides. Five days is not easy, but things will change later. I will let the Five Pecks of Rice cultivator lead you two to the mountain trail. This trail is extremely secretive, and
It saves a lot of detours and can be reached in three days!”
"And Gu only gives you three days. The city will be destroyed when we arrive. There is only one chance. On the fourth day, I will stand in Na Bazhong and look at Bashu from the top of Fuling city! In this way... the land of Shu can be determined!"
While he was talking, several followers of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect walked out from one side.
"I have met these two generals! I have walked through this mountain road countless times... It usually takes two days to arrive. The march of the army will inevitably cause delays, but three days is enough!"
The words of the Five Pecks of Rice cultist undoubtedly gave Zhang He and Xu Huang a shot in the arm.
The two of them bowed their hands to Cao Cao.
They all said in unison: "I dare not let down the Prime Minister's trust——"
Cao Cao walked up to the two of them, stretched out his hands, and patted their shoulders respectively.
"If we can capture Bashu this time, you two will be the first to succeed!"
Not long after...
Zhang He and Xu Huang have already retreated to order their troops.
Cao Cao walked quietly to the entrance of the cave. He raised his head and looked at the mountains here...looking towards the direction of Bazhong and Fuling. He pondered for a moment, but soon, his eyes opened, as if they suddenly changed.
Be confident.
Immediately afterwards, he moved his head from the northwest and turned to the southeast defense line...
His vision was blocked by the mountains, but his heart seemed to have flowed out of Hanzhong along the Han River, along Shangyong straight to Xiangfan!
At this time, Xu Chu came over and put on a cloak for Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, the wind is strong outside, so don't let it hit your forehead."
Cao Cao looked back at Xu Chu.
"——Zhong Kang, do you think... in Fancheng today, with the ambush from all sides, can Guan Yu be captured?"
this…
Xu Chu shook his head at first, expressing that he didn't know, but then nodded quickly and said, "According to the Prime Minister's plan, General Wenpin, General Gao Lan, Young Master Zhang, General Yu Jin, and Manfu Lord of Xiangfan, Lu Chang were dispatched in this battle.
General, General Zhao Yan, General Niu Jin, "Then Guan Yu doesn't have three heads and six arms. He is just a warrior. How can he escape the ambush set by the Prime Minister?"
Rarely, Xu Chu said a lot this time.
As Xu Chu finished speaking, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly raised.
A sentence came out of his mouth as quickly as lightning, just like the words spoken instinctively and subconsciously:
"Zhongkang, remember - Yun Chang is definitely not a martial artist!"
Speaking of which…
Cao Cao's eyes were as deep as the sea, as if... He saw Guan Yu's voice and smile, and saw Guan Yunchang standing in front of him.
this moment…
In his eyes, Guan Yu seems to be forever frozen in front of the Sishui Pass, frozen in his sword and horse, frozen in the company of warming wine, frozen in the blue dragon gnashing the moon and thundering on the ground, frozen in the warming wine to kill Hua Xiong;
It is also fixed on him beheading Yan Liang and Wen Chou, it is fixed on him hanging a seal and sealing gold, it is fixed on him passing through five passes, killing six generals, and searching for his relatives thousands of miles away;
——"That's it...that's all!"
Cao Cao sighed in his heart, but in his eyes all the stories about him and Guan Yu flashed one by one like a fleeting moment.
Finally, Cao Cao couldn't help but murmur in his heart:
——"Your righteousness is Bo Yuntian, and your loyalty comes first. If you lose this battle, there will be no Guan Yunchang without you in the world. It's just that you never surrendered to me in the past, but... But if you really surrender to me one day, then I... I am so lonely."
I will be really reluctant to leave you!』
Thoughts on this…
Cao Cao's eyes had narrowed tightly, and he opened his mouth and said: "That's all, that's all, Huarong Dao, you can let me go, but for the sake of the world, I can't let you go this time!"
Chant the last sentence.
Cao Cao's vision seemed to pass through layers of mountains, rivers, and woods. He seemed to have seen the Xiangfan battlefield and saw Guan Yu being ambushed from all sides...
He was captured by the generals of Cao Wei and deliberately let go according to the plan. In the end...when the Soochow army invaded Jingzhou, he died at the hands of Soochow Xiaoxiao!
"Yun Chang, Yun Chang, Gu... I still remember the way you looked when you were holding the Spring and Autumn Axis in your hand, with a pair of red and phoenix eyes, sitting on a three-foot tall building, and worshiping the Shouting Marquis of the Han Dynasty!"
"I hope you will always be victorious and undefeated, but you are too strong. You have already threatened me and my great Wei!"
"I have no choice but to let you die at Xiaoxiao's hands!"
…
…
One day has passed in a flash.
Guan Yu was leading his army through the snowy mountains in the northern border of Jiangxia and rushed to Xiling County.
The mountain trail is not easy to walk and is covered with snow...
One of Guan Jiajun's horses suddenly made a stroke, and the whole horse slipped and fell down the mountain path to the cliff. Another knight stepped on a piece of floating snow, and the horse stumbled and fell down the cliff. Fortunately, the knight on the horse reacted.
Quickly and in time, the horse jumped to escape the disaster. You Zi had just recovered from the shock, and the horse's neighing sound was echoing in the mountains.
The Guan Jiajun who were marching were shocked by this scene. They reined in their horses one by one and looked at Guan Yu with great worry.
One of the guards said, "General Guan, how about... don't take the mountain road, take a detour from below, at least you won't fall off the cliff!"
Guan Jiajun knew that they were heading towards Xiling County in a surprise attack.
It is unrealistic to wait for the snow to stop, so we can only hope to take a detour.
Unexpectedly, Guan Yu said, "The detour will delay you for one more day. Get off your horse and walk through this mountain road!"
ah…
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, but they saw Guan Yu dismounting first and leading the red rabbit horse in front, "I, the general, will personally lead the way. You guys should follow closely!"
A group of guards exclaimed, "General, no!"
However, Guan Yu scolded: "Soldiers are very fast. We were on the road, and the enemy's scout horses were also on the way. We were so slow for an hour that the Xiling County scout horses took us back! This raid was in vain! This is a military order,
Don't say any more and follow me, General!"
As he spoke, Guan Yu was already walking forward on the snow.
In fact, in his opinion...
If Yun Qi hadn't sent him a message, and if Hong Qigong hadn't received the information that there was an ambush in Xiangfan, Guan Yu and Guan Jiajun would have been ambushed outside Fancheng.
If so...
Just like what Yun Qi said - there is no life after ten deaths! The body and head are in different places!
Compared with the dangers and the life hanging by a thread, what does this snow mean now?
——"If the northern border of Jiangxia is not captured, will Guan still have the nerve to meet this brat like Yun Qi?"
I think so...
Guan Yu led a group of soldiers and led the horses on foot. In order to prevent the mountain road from slipping, the soldiers held the reins tightly and kept enough space between each other.
In order to prevent "floating snow", Guan Yu's personal guards used tree branches to sweep the snow to both sides of the road to clear a path for the knights.
Fortunately, it's new snow...it's not that thick, and it's not that slippery!
In less than half an hour, Guan Jiajun had walked out of the mountain road and arrived at Anlu County, a hundred meters away from Xiling County.
"——General Guan, Anlu County is ahead of us. It seems that there is no defense. If there is a surprise attack..."
Another soldier asked Guan Yu.
Guan Yu immediately waved his hand, "We will not attack Anlu County until Xiling County is captured, and these cities will collapse without attack!"
ah…
All the soldiers were shocked, "Anlu County is the only way to pass through Xiling County. If we don't attack Anlu County, there will be no way out!"
"——Haha." Guan Yu laughed out loud, and he mused: ""Sun Tzu's Art of War" says that a soldier is like water. The shape of water avoids heights and tends to go down. The shape of soldiers avoids reality and hits weak points. Water depends on the ground.
And to control the flow, the soldiers are victorious because of the enemy. Therefore, the soldiers have no constant momentum, and the water has no constant shape..."
There were only a few Guan Jiajun who could understand these words, and everyone looked at Guan Yu blankly.
Guan Yu's voice continued.
"Forget it, don't mention that grandson, don't you believe what Yun Qi said? He said - the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish!"
Ah...ah...
A group of Guan family knights looked at each other, they seemed to understand, but they didn't seem to understand.
At this point, the knights had finished resting.
Guan Yu gave the order.
"——The army is advancing at full speed!"
Although I thought of Yun Qi's words...
But at this time, Guan Yu had a completely new understanding.
Before, he took it for granted.
In fact, for Cao Wei, both Xiangfan and Jiangxia are crucial and neither is easy to defeat.
Nowhere is easy to win.
——The core of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is "all", which is to move the enemy's troops and horses to one side, then avoid the real and attack the weak, use your superior troops and horses to hit the enemy's weak points, and preserve yourself to the greatest extent, thereby gaining
victory!
This is called - total victory.
——"Haha, that brat Yun Qi is right, this "The Art of War" is indeed much more practical than "The Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan"!"
With this in mind, Guan Yu shouted again:
"——March quickly!"
"--Full speed ahead!"
…
…
"Anlu County" is only a hundred miles away from "Xiling County", Jiangxia Administrative Office.
——The county magistrate here is none other than Jiang Qian.
It's the Jiang Qian who "Jiang Qian stole books" in the novel...
"The Romance" mentioned that on the eve of the Battle of Chibi, Jiang Gan recommended himself to Cao Cao to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender. However, Zhou Yu used his trick and tricked him into stealing a forged "letter", which allowed Cao Cao to kill Cai Hao and Zhang Yun.
Of course, this is a romance and a novelist's words.
The historical truth is that Jiang Qian did go to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, but he did not steal the book, nor did he cause Cao Cao to kill the navy generals Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.
Today, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are both living well.
It is recorded in "Three Kingdoms" that after Cai Mao surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao cared deeply for this old friend.
Cai Mao also moved his entire family to Caizhou.
The so-called - "The house is very gorgeous, the four walls are all made of bluestone, there are hundreds of maids and concubines in the house, and there are 40 to 50 separate properties."
This is equivalent to the fact that after Cai Mao surrendered, he volunteered to be Cao Wei's mascot, married more than a hundred concubines, and lived an enviable life without shame or shame.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Jiang Qian did not steal the book.
After he returned to Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao only praised Zhou Yu for his magnanimity, which could not be alienated by words, so he gave up the idea of recruiting Zhou Yu to surrender.
Jiang Gan was also assigned to Anlu County as the county magistrate.
now…
There is heavy snow in the sky. As a scholar and a county magistrate, Jiang Qian was admiring the snow, reciting poems, and composing...
He just "sipped" a sip of tea.
At this moment, a scout quickly reported, "Chief Jiang, Guan Yu is coming with his cavalry to kill!"
There was only a "pop" sound, and Jiang Gan spurted out a mouthful of tea.
He looked at the guard with doubtful eyes. "What are you talking about? Guan...Guan Yu...he...when did he kill him? Why didn't you report it in advance?"
"The last general is running, and Guan Yu and his cavalry are also running... When the last general is running, they are also running!"
With the reward of this horse exploration...
Jiang Gan panicked and said quickly: "Close the city gate quickly, close the city gate quickly... close the city gate quickly!"
At this point, he became extremely nervous and kept muttering: "It's over, it's over, then Guan Yu must have entered the city!"
At this moment…
Another detective came. "Report to the county magistrate, Guan...Guan Yu led thousands of horses and did not enter the city. He...he just ignored our "Anlu County" and went west. County magistrate...should we...send troops to pursue him?"
As soon as this statement came out...
Jiang Gan's eyes widened and he looked at the Tanma in disbelief.
——"Are you stupid?"
Jiang Qian has a special characteristic, he doesn't distinguish between flat and raised tongue sounds.
Of course, it doesn't matter...
The important thing is, does Tan Ma have any deep hatred for him?
If Guan Yu doesn't come to fight him, he has already burned incense, and he still goes out of the city... dares to fight with Guan Yu in a field battle? He is Jiang Qian... He still has self-knowledge. A hundred of him, Jiang Qian, can't break off one of Guan Yu's little fingers!
"But the county magistrate... Guan Yu, Guan Yu seems... seems to have gone to Xiling County, the seat of Jiangxia."
Tan Ma was a very upright person, and he was still opening his mouth to persuade: "I heard... Xu Ducheng just sent Mr. Liu Ye to take charge of the overall situation in Xiling County! Should the county magistrate send a scout to inform... inform Mr. Liu Ye in Xiling County?"
!”
Jiang Gan was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"——You are right, then go ahead!"
"——Damn it, Guan Yu just likes you, you are so desperate!"
