At the turn of the old and new, news came that Yuan Shao had launched an army to attack Dong. According to Zhang Yang's legend, all the heroes from Guandong came together to fight against the national calamity. An army of 400,000 surrounded Luoyang, distributed in the north, south, south, and south. Tigers and flowers gathered together, eagles flew bravely, and Kyushu was in full swing.
Everyone was celebrating that he had decided to join King Qin's army, so he reported it to Chen Chong. At the end of the letter, Zhang Yang also said: As a celebrity of the noble family, Chen Chong is admired by the world. If he does not cooperate with this matter, he may lose the hope of the world.
According to Liu Bei's thinking, it was inevitable to defeat Dong Zhuo, but he took into account that Cai Yong, Zhong Yao and others were still in Luoyang, and knew that Dong Zhuo had a violent temper and might hurt others, so he asked Chen Chong. Chen Chong turned over his hands.
Map, said to Liu Bei: "Everyone has his own destiny. If we take these into consideration, the Supreme Emperor was lost to Xiang Ji. If the great ancestor stopped the war because of love, how could we have achieved victory at Gaixia? Taishan is a man who understands reason and knows how to protect himself wisely." So he made a plan to participate in the crusade against Dong. He just analyzed the situation of the crusade against Dong. Chen Chong thought it was extremely difficult. He said: "Although King Qin's army is powerful now, there are only few people who can fight. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Han Fu, Liu
Dai, Kong and others have never fought in battle, and most of them are talking about war on paper. The only one who can be considered as having a strategy is Meng De, but he has only wiped out the Yellow Turbans. How can he compare with the Liang people who have been fighting against the rebels all year round?
I also understand the abilities of my uncle (Zhang Yang). Although he is brave and brave, his strategy is not as good as Meng De. In this case, the more soldiers Yuan Shao has, the faster and more miserable he will be defeated. Even if Dong Zhuo can't figure it out for the moment, when he fights the coalition forces
After a battle, you will understand who is stronger and who is weaker."
Liu Bei frowned when he heard this. He took a sip of wine, leaned back on the beam beside the case, then closed his eyes and said, "Aren't we going to join forces with Yuan Shao?"
Chen Chong put down the letter in his hand and thought of Yuan Shao's pretending to be generous and gloomy every time the Imperial Academy met each other. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "You still have to say hello, just let's go in." He turned to look out the door.
Bai Shanshan climbed the mountain, thinking about the next arrangement, and said to his brothers with a snap of his fingers: "The number of soldiers does not need to be as many as Yuan Benzhu's, but it cannot be too few, but the most important thing is that we have to find some who can fight."<
/p>
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Chuping, the soldiers celebrated the New Year and hugged their families goodbye. They packed their swords and armors into their bags and set off on the journey to Jinyang. The state pastor and the general Zhonglang had already issued an order before the year
, there was a war at the beginning of this year, and they did not dare to slack off. After returning to camp, they practiced martial arts and military formations day and night, but at this time, there was only one unit that needed to go first.
Chen Chong recommended Guan Yu as the captain of Zhenjun, assigned six thousand knights to his command, and asked Gao Zhun and Xu Huang to be his forwards. Meng Jian and Shi Tao were his assistants. Guan Yu led the army to Hanoi first, and then to Suanzao.
, and finally go to Luyang to observe Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's arrangements in various places, and assist in the offensive as appropriate to show Chen Chong and Liu Bei's sincerity in challenging Dong. This can also be used to deceive others and create room for a surprise attack for Bingzhou's advance.
Guan Yu ordered his soldiers and horses to arrive in Qi County in the evening of the same day. On the 18th, he crossed the Yangtou Mountain and entered Nie County. Along the way, the sky was blue, and the spring breeze blew, bringing a little bit of water vapor from the Yellow River in the West River. The winter cold was not over, and the foxes in the mountains were
The wolves were looking for prey in the road. When they saw them, they all disappeared into the woods, leaving only clusters of plum blossoms like snow, fragrant alone before the spring flowers bloom.
When he was about to walk out of the mountain road, Shi Tao saw a stele at the end. He went forward to look at it curiously. When he came back, he said happily to Guan Yu: "Guan Jun, this is an article to commemorate us!" Guan Yu immediately went to look at it.
A piece of white rock was engraved with seal script one by one, and the letter said: "In March of the fifth year of Zhongping, Liu Jun of Zhuo County refused to prepare, Guan Jun refused to feather, and Zhang Jun failed to fly. He led more than 10,000 Dongping righteous soldiers to join the annexation. At that time, the prefecture was
The county was in chaos, bandits were roaming, and barbarians were sucking blood. The three monarchs and Chen Jun, the prefect of Xihe, fought against each other. They fought to pacify the Rong, and taught the people to farm and fight. They listened to their feelings and believed in rewards and punishments. However, the government was harmonious and the people were harmonious. The whole state was governed, such as Qiu withered.
The morning wind stirred up hail and did not cover my ears. The people were virtuous, so they were inscribed here for future generations to remember." At the end of the inscription, it is written in small characters: "Guyuan Kongkong Taoist Records."
Guan Yu smiled, and then he remembered that this was the way he came, but then he thought about how short the time was. It was actually two years ago when he came to Bingzhou. During that time, so many lives had been lost, and he had experienced so many hardships.
He couldn't help but feel sad. He returned to the army and said to his subordinates: "Life in this world is like a gray dog in the clouds, and heroes have withered bones. Only the name of martial arts will last forever. If I can be known to the world as Guan Yu, my life will be in vain.
”
So they speeded up, entered Shangdang from Nie County, then went south along Zhuoshui, passed Huguan, Changping Ancient Battlefield, and then crossed the Qinling Mountains to Gaodu. The Tianjing Pass at the time of the annexation was right in front of them.
Although he had been here once, Guan Yu still sighed at the danger of Tianjing Pass. The mountains formed a front and pine trees hung horizontally. From a close look, it looked like a solid screen carved with indescribable patterns. From a distance, it looked like floating islands.
Wander quietly in the sea of clouds.
It's just that when they came two years ago, Tianjing Pass was empty, but now there are soldiers guarding Tianjing Pass. These thirty or so soldiers are all Zhang Yang's subordinates. They have nothing to do and are discussing the situation in front of the gate. The song of guarding the pass.
The commander had seen Guan Yu's ultimatum and Chen Chong's handwriting, with a look of joy on his face. He asked: "When will the two envoys Chen and Liu set off?" Guan Yu replied: "We have just fought with Xianbei for several months, and we have been fighting for several months.
I have cut off thousands of swords, and I have to rest for a while." The song leader showed a disappointed look again, Guan Yu pointed at his subordinates and said boldly: "Friends, if you want to look down on my comrades, these are all the same as Xianbei Jia.
Even though six thousand warriors are fighting on horseback, they are worth tens of thousands of infantry!"
Then they held high the banner of the Xiaojun, spent a day descending from Tianjing Pass, and entered Hanoi County on the 23rd of the first lunar month. When they descended from Taihang Mountain, their feet suddenly became flat. Looking to the south, the land was vast, with only fields and mountains.
The streets connect the cities and villages, but in the spring season, Guan Yu can't see many farmers. Instead, they are full of wanderers traveling far away, and there are only a few roosters crowing in the rural pavilions.
Shortly after the annexation, Zhang Yang learned the news and sent Xue Hong, the chief secretary, to greet Guan Yu and brought Guan Yu's troops to Heyang County, where Zhang Yangzheng led his troops and Wang Kuang were stationed here.
Heyang County is located on the north bank of the river. When Guan Yu came, the river was in the flood season. The waves rolled up the vast silt from the upper reaches and rolled the turbid ice. The camp of King Qin's division was set up three miles away from the bank.
On the flat ground, the camps were spread out for more than ten miles. Guan Yu looked at the soldiers going back and forth in the camp. Most of them were wearing cloth armor, and their martial arts seemed to be ordinary. The few soldiers who could see were unruly and domineering, just like people in the green forest.
, which made him sigh.
When Guan Yu arrived at Zhang Yang's tent, Zhang Yang was entertaining four guests. They were all dressed in military uniforms, but their faces were full of indulgence. In the tent, there were golden bottles of wine, grilled meat and fresh soup, and beauties dancing, which was full of enchantment.
When Zhang Yang saw him coming in, he immediately added a seat for him and introduced to everyone: "This is Guan Yu, Guan Jun, Liu Shijun's favorite general. It is said that he can tear tigers apart with his bare hands!" Those guests all said "Oh"
The color on his face didn't change at all.
Zhang Yang introduced the guests to him again. These four people were Wang Kuang's officer Han Hao, the Cavalry Commander Hu Mubiao, the chief secretary Yang Bing, and the Wen County celebrity Chang Zhi. But obviously the four people had never heard of Guan Yu's reputation, and they were not familiar with Guan Yu's reputation.
He didn't care about this, and only talked with Zhang Yang about the recent strange things in Hanoi, such as Li Shao, the former governor of Jizhou, living in seclusion, the eldest son of the Sima family in Wen County returning to his hometown and moving his clan, and a family of the Yewang family giving birth to two babies. These are all ominous signs.<
/p>
Guan Yu listened to them talking for more than an hour. He didn't say a word during the whole process. He just kept eating meat and drinking wine. When the four people said goodbye to Zhang Yang and left, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and said to Zhang Yang: "Uncle Zhi, you
Send a letter to urge us to come out and work hard for the king. Is this how we work hard for the king?"
Zhang Yang knew that Guan Yushu was dissatisfied, so he could only defend himself and said: "Brother Guan, how can I help myself now that I am in a foreign country? They are all close ministers of Wang Shijun and prominent local families. If they do not establish good relations, they will be afraid of fighting in the future.
Most of them are constraints." Guan Yu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. He stood up and opened the curtain, and looked at the soldiers in the camp with uneven armor and disorderly discipline. Then he turned to Zhang Yang and said, "Even if there are no constraints, Uncle Zhi wants to
Are you laughing at this to fight Dong Zhuo?"
These words made Zhang Yang speechless for a while. After a long time, he said: "After all, it is just a partial force. I can only prevent Dong's thieves from crossing the river. Besides, if I have the ability to win now, why should I ask for help from the Ming government?" He and Guan Yu only said:
I met him a few times during the Xiongnu Rebellion, and I only knew him as a warrior who fought in hundreds of battles. It was only then that I realized Guan Yu's uprightness and arrogance.
After Guan Yu heard what he said, he asked Zhang Yang to introduce him to Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, and asked about the details of Hanoi's deployment. Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "Wang Shijun is currently in Huai County and ignores the battle on the front line. Hanoi's deployment is all done by Han."
I suggest that you have met Brother Guan just now. If not, why would I entertain you?" As soon as he said this, Guan Yu packed up his clothes and prepared to leave the tent. Zhang Yang was unable to persuade him to stay, so he only heard Guan Yu turn his back and say goodbye: "As a member of the three armies,
Although I, Guan Yunchang, am not afraid of death, I am afraid that I will live longer if I fight with this man. Uncle Zhi would like to do this."
He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. He did not speculate. He soon led his people to leave Heyang and walked eastward along the overflowing river. The outline of Mang Mountain to the north and south of the river was vague, and crows all over the mountain flew up from the dry forest.
, hovered over the heads of the Bingzhou knights for a while, and then flew south. Facing the cold spring, Shi Tao asked Guan Yu loudly: "Aren't you going to stay in Hanoi for a few more days to see the situation?" Guan Yu replied with a smile: "Where can there be fierce kites?
The reason for looking at rotten rats all day long."
The sound was thrown under the dome curtain and was drowned by the river. The people in Henan looked blankly at the speeding procession on the other side, but they could not stop moving. The Liang people used their swords to drive them westward, and frowned at the speed of the horses on the other side.
The flag, but they did not see it clearly and could not distinguish it, let alone the name of the general on the other side.
But they will always remember this name in their hearts.
