[Cao Cao heard about Guan Yu’s Northern Expedition, so he sent General Yu Jin to lead seven armies to rescue Xiangfan.]
[Yu Jin’s role in Cao Wei’s camp was not simple. The reason why many people in later generations looked down upon him was probably because he surrendered to Guan Yu after his defeat. 】
[Actually, before this battle, Yu Jin's identity was General Zuo, Jiajie Yue, Marquis of Yishou Ting of 1,200 households, and one of his 500 households was granted the title of Lieutenant Marquis.
What is this concept?
You should know that "General Zuo" was the official position that Cao Cao originally assigned to Liu Bei.
The "False Festival Yue" is the highest level, and has the same configuration as the second brother.
"Twelve hundred households" is a very high standard. Xia Houyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, Cao Cao's clan brother, only had 800 households when he was hacked to death!
It can be seen that Yu Jin's status in Cao's army can be said to be very important. Even Zhang Liao, who has made rapid progress in recent years, is still a step behind Yu Jin.】
[Yu Jin's Taishan Army Troops are always used by Cao Cao as the most elite team.
"Every time Taizu went on an expedition, Xiandi acted as the vanguard of the army, but also as the enemy behind"!
This time Cao Cao sent the Seventh Army of the Imperial Governor to rescue Xiangfan. Basically, it can be said that he took out all the cards at the bottom of the box.】
[Moreover, there was also General Pound in the Forbidden Army. Pound often rode a white horse, and Guan Yu's army was called General White Horse.
During a battle with Guan Yu, Pound hit Guan Yu in the forehead with an arrow, which made all the soldiers in Guan Yu's army very afraid of him.]
[Not long after the confrontation between the two sides, the time came to August. It rained heavily for more than ten days, causing the Han River to surge. Guan Yu saw the opportunity to dig river embankments and flood the Imperial Army with water!]
[The second brother dug the Han River embankment at the right angle. After the Han River broke its embankment, it rushed directly to Pinglu City where the ban was stationed!
The roaring river carried huge kinetic energy and directly destroyed this old city.
All of Yu Jin's food, grass, baggage, weapons and armor, as well as people and horses were washed away, and more than 30,000 people were instantly turned into drowned rats.】
[Yu Jin's seven armies were all submerged by the flood, so he and his generals could only climb high and look into the water without any means of escape. Guan Yu took the opportunity to attack in a large ship, but because there was no way to avoid Yu Jin, he finally chose to surrender. 】
"The water flooded the Seventh Army!"
"Shock China!"
"Second brother is mighty!"
The stronger and more elite the enemy is, the more they can highlight Guan Yu's great achievements.
"It's a pity that I have been famous for a lifetime, but in the end I lost my life. Alas."
[After Guan Yu was captured alive, he took a boat to attack Pang De again.
Most of Pang De's soldiers had surrendered to Guan Yu. Pang De was outnumbered and was finally captured by Guan Yu.
Because Pang De's brother was an official in the Shu Han Dynasty, Guan Yu wanted to persuade Pang De to surrender, but Pang De cursed and refused to surrender, so Guan Yu beheaded him.]
[After capturing Pang De and beheading Pang De, Guan Yu took advantage of the victory and launched a fierce attack on Fancheng guarded by Cao Ren.
Fancheng is not far from Pinglu City, so it was naturally flooded by the flood.
After Fancheng was flooded, the city walls collapsed, and Cao Ren's garrison was greatly reduced due to repeated defeats, leaving only a few thousand men.
Fancheng was besieged several times, cut off from the outside and inside, and the food was almost exhausted, and all the generals were panicked.]
[When this morale was on the verge of collapse, Man Chong, a ruthless man who had been in charge in Yuan Shu's hometown of Runan, suddenly stood up and said: "The mountains and rivers are moving rapidly, I hope it won't be long. Wen Yu's farewell generals are already under his command, and he has since
To the south of Xu, the people are making trouble, so those who dare not advance are afraid that our army will kill them. If we escape now, we will not be able to recover the country south of the Hong River."
It means: The flood comes and retreats quickly, and I heard that Guan Yu has now sent his men to advance the battle line to Jiaxian County. The reason why he dare not march straight in is because he is afraid that thousands of us will attack his rear! Now we
If we really leave, I’m afraid the area south of Ru River will no longer be owned by the state!]
[Cao Ren encouraged the soldiers, saying that if they were defeated, we would all die!
And don’t be sad, because with me, Boss Cao’s clan brother, accompanying you to death, you will make a lot of money!! Let’s fight Guan Yu to beg!
Man Chong's performance was better. In order to maintain the morale of the army, he did a cruel trick and drowned his white horse himself, vowing to live and die together with his brothers!
After the encouragement of the two men, the morale of the Fancheng defenders indeed improved, and their military morale gradually stabilized.】
[However, at this critical moment, an incident occurred that made Cao Cao's head hurt even more!
In September of the same year, shortly after the second brother flooded the Seventh Army, a rebellion suddenly occurred in Cao Cao's base camp, Yecheng!
Xi Cao, who was under the leadership of Zhong Yao, the Prime Minister of Wei State, rebelled against Wei Xi and launched an army to rebel!
Wei Xi was a native of Pei State, half of Cao Cao's hometown. He was quite famous and very influential.】
[When Guan Er Ge was victorious in Xiangfan, Cao Ren was barely alive, and Cao Cao was in Chang'an, Wei Xi secretly entangled his party members and planned an attack on Yecheng with Changle Weiwei Chen Yi.
But it is a pity that just before Wei Xi and others launched the coup, Chen Yi chose to confess to Cao Pi because of fear.
After Cao Pi understood the cause and effect, he attacked decisively and dealt with it with an iron fist. He not only killed Wei Xi, but also implicated and executed thousands of people. Even Zhong Yao, an old subordinate who had been following Cao Cao, was implicated in this case and was removed from his official position!'
'
[Among the officials implicated this time, Zhang Quan (son of Zhang Xiu), Liu Miao brothers (former officials of Liu Biao), Song Zhong and his son (former officials of Liu Biao), and Wang Can’s son (former officials of Liu Biao) are all related to Jingzhou
There is a relationship!
In addition, guerrillas such as Sun Lang and others who were buried last year have begun to pop up one after another. People in Yinliang County in Henan, Luhun in Hongnong County, Jiaxian in Yingchuan and other places have also seen people revolt in response to the second brother's Northern Expedition!】
[Amid internal and external troubles, Cao Cao seriously considered one thing, and that was to "move the capital"!
Cao Cao did not want to move his capital, but wanted Emperor Xian to move it.
Because Xuchang was too close to Guan Yu's sphere of influence at this time, he was worried that Guan's second brother would really snatch Emperor Xian away all the way.
Once it loses the biggest "chess piece" in its hand, the Cao Group is likely to split from within, or even be attacked by groups, until it completely collapses]
[Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, Guan Yu threatened Xuchang!
Thirty years!
It seems that the Liu family's momentum has never been so strong since 189 AD.
In the hands of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others, it seems that the great Han Dynasty is about to be revived again!]
[Brother Guan’s prestige has reached its peak for a while. It can be said that he is “unparalleled in prestige and powerful in China!!!”]
When Liu Bang saw this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay!!! It turns out that Liu Bei and Guan Yu are the righteous men who helped the Han Dynasty!!!"
"I, the emperor of the Han family, have actually become a 'chess piece' in Cao Cao's hands! Good, very good!" Liu Che said through gritted teeth.
Liu Xiu stared angrily and shouted: "Rebels and traitors! They should be killed!!"
"It's a pity that Guan Yu was defeated in the end because of his own character. He was too arrogant!" Li Shimin shook his head and sighed.
Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed: "Guan Yu succeeds and Guan Yu fails. After Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and his own life, Liu Bei's power began to decline from then on."
