Three hundred and sixtieth chapters do not believe
"Although your servant is cowardly and wants to survive, he still knows how to live and die. How can he be humiliated by drowning himself in prison?" Biography of Sima Qian in the Han Dynasty
Xuzhou,Xiapi.ranena`
"Tonight, on the pretext of discussing the defense of the city, I have summoned General Xu Dan and Sima Zhang to capture him immediately." Tian Yu, the Cavalry Commander, was sitting in the hall, calmly arranging various appointments.
"Jinnuo" Army Commander Sima Shiren replied enthusiastically, and bowed his hands to Tian Yu, then turned to Guan Yu who was standing aside, and bowed to him in the same way. After completing all the etiquette, he walked backwards out of the door.
"Although Xu Dan, Zhang Jie and others are Cao Bao's old troops, they surrendered first that day and tied up the general Cao Bao with ropes. The subordinates are still heartbroken. If they want to rebel again, how can they instigate them to follow him?"
Guan Yu stroked his long beard disapprovingly and squinted his eyes, recalling the day when he went out of the city to pursue Cao Bao and surrounded the Danyang military camp. After a tentative attack, all the Danyang soldiers, from Zhonglang General Xu Dan to Sima Zhangjiao, abandoned their troops.
And descend.
At that time, Zhang Jie personally escorted the tightly tied Cao Bao, knelt down to Guan Yu and begged for surrender, confessing his crime with tears in his eyes. His humble and ant-like posture made Guan Yu look down on him to this day.
Tian Yu knew that Guan Yu was arrogant and did not like being spineless, incompetent, or self-righteous. But seeing the other party's appearance, he deliberately asked, "Yun Chang thinks they are trustworthy."
Guan Yu immediately shook his head, with a trace of disgust on his expression: "How could I believe that they are just such villains who are willing to spare their lives and push their own generals to take credit for their survival? I thought they were incapable of posing a threat."
"An ant may be small, but it can destroy a thousand-mile embankment." Tian Yu leaned up and taught earnestly, "Master Yun, don't underestimate anyone. Maybe one day, those ants you despise can also give you a blow from behind.
"
Guan Yu's hand stroking his long beard gradually slowed down, his expression remained motionless, his eyes narrowed, and he nodded as if perfunctory.
Tian Yu sighed helplessly. Some people are born with nature, which is as hard to change as a rock. Guan Yu relied on his talents and arrogance. Although he had extraordinary abilities, he blindly treated his subordinates with a contemptuous attitude. If he did not correct himself, he would eventually suffer backlash.
I hope he can understand this sooner.
In the end, Tian Yu's judgment of people's hearts was better than Guan Yu's. Xiao Fei did have a heart and was able to shake the tree. When Xu Dan and Zhang Lie had a knife held on their necks to reveal the truth and cursed everyone for Cao Bao's incident, Guan Yu
He was really surprised. Unfortunately, he still only paid attention to the fact that Xu Dan kept talking about avenging Cao Bao.
"Mean dog" Xu Dan struggled violently, and was slapped to the ground hard by the back of the knife. He gnashed his teeth and cursed angrily, "When my general helped Tao Shijun cross the river to Xu, quelled the civil strife, and worked diligently on the king's affairs, you
I have been a fugitive in the plains for only a year now, and you dare to betray my kindness and kill my general on the pretext of a crime. I wish I could eat your flesh day and night."
"Bastard" Shiren saw that Guan Yu's face was turning blue, so he hurried up and slapped Xu Dan several times until his teeth chipped and his lip cracked.
Xu Dan's face was covered with blood after being slapped, but he still stared at Guan Yu, Tian Yu, Shiren and others with red eyes. He suddenly laughed like a maniac and said, "Hahahaha, you think you can save Xiapi except for me."
, I have secured Xuzhou, and I tell you that even if Duke Cao doesn’t have us as internal agents, he can still capture Xuzhou.”
"They are just villains who are greedy for profit and life. They dare to speak big words and say that it is for righteousness. If you really regard Cao Bao's death as a life-long humiliation, why did you tie Cao Bao with a rope and kowtow to surrender?"
It's just words, so that you can think that you are a righteous man, and you won't be afraid of people laughing at you when you say it." Tian Yu said with a sneer. He had heard enough of the other party's arrogance, frowned slightly, and waved at Shiren.
He waved his hand and said, "Take it down."
Then, he said to Guan Yu who was standing with his sword in his hand, "Yun Chang, if Xu Dan and Zhang Lie were not captured tonight and the conspiracy was revealed, what would the situation be like?"
Guan Yu is a smart man, and he was frightened just now. If Xu Dan and others succeed, and Cao Cao's army is unprepared and enters the city smoothly, then they will lose more than just one Xiapi Tianyu, who is not an ordinary scholar. What the other party said
Naturally, it went to Guan Yu's heart. He immediately raised his hands with sincerity and said, "Thank you so much, Guorang, for your kind words and advice. I will keep it in my heart."
Tian Yu then nodded and told Shiren who had returned, "The Danyang army has been reduced several times, but there are still a thousand troops in the north of Xibaicheng. Now the leader will be bound, and the rest will not care about their crimes. Now
I don’t dare to continue to use them. If everything is not protected, you should immediately mobilize your troops and go to collect the armor. After this battle, you can select the available ones one by one."
Shiren did not answer the order this time, but stood on the spot with his head lowered and his eyes quietly drifting towards Guan Yu.
Guan Yu knew that he was showing his kindness as the leader, but he was still dissatisfied with Shiren's flattery. He frowned and said, "Although you are my subordinate, now everyone inside and outside Xiapi listens to Tian Jun's orders. You
Just take orders”
Shiren shuddered and then bowed his head in response.
Tian Yu turned a blind eye to this and continued, "Now that the internal thieves have been eliminated, Cao Cao has been stationed outside the city since he marched. He must not be aware of what happened here. In order to defeat the enemy, we might as well take advantage of his plan."
Late at night a few days later, Cao Cao's camp began to mobilize intensively. In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Cao Cao planned to go into battle in person. After entering the city, he would board the gate tower and direct the battle in the city. Everything was ready. Before leaving, he looked sick.
The haggard Xi Zhicai suddenly pulled Cao Cao's bridle.
"Zhicai, you go back first. I will wait for ten months in Xiapi Qianyan. If I get the chance today, I will defeat the enemy with one strike no matter what. I am here, so you can rest and recuperate. After the city is defeated, I will take you into the city again." Cao Cao frowned.
He frowned and said with a worried look.
After being soaked in the mountain rain that time, Xi Zhicai fell ill with a cold as soon as he arrived in Langye Kingdom. Later, he still managed to hold on to his illness and made a full plan for Cao Cao to seize Donghai and Pengcheng and advance to Xiapi. However,
Because Xi Zhicai was already weak, and there was no good doctor around him, many days of hard work aggravated his condition, which led to him becoming terminally ill. Cao Cao had tried his best to make him think less in the past few days, and tried his best to make many strategies for himself. This time
Xi Zhicai didn't know why, but he insisted on coming to dissuade him.
"Ming Gong listened to me. It is precisely because of the delay of ten months that Tian Yu is not easy to deal with. Just relying on Xu Dan, Zhang Jie and others, how can they secretly plot in front of Tian Yu's eyes in case everything is leaked?
Tian Yu is waiting in ambush, our army will be in danger," Xi Zhicai said breathlessly, the hand holding the bridle tightly was dry and thin, and looked even paler due to excessive exertion.
"In the past ten months, you also know that I have been waiting for the battle situation between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, as well as the movements of Pei Guo Tianchou. Otherwise, why would I ignore Xiapi?" Cao Cao sighed softly, turned over and dismounted, and held Xi Zhicai in his hand.
He held his hand and said slowly, "Now that Liu Bei has been defeated and fled to Haixi, and Tian Chou is attacking Jiujiang in the south, it's time for us to march. We can't delay it any longer. Time waits for us not. Lu Bu, the fierce dog, has had its fill of food in Qingzhou. Soon he will
When I return to school, I have to establish myself as soon as possible."
