Liu Bei told Yuan Tan about his defeat and wanted to defect to Yuan Tan, so he asked Liu Bei to stay in the inn in the city and immediately wrote a letter to Yuan Shao. On the second day, he personally sent someone to escort Liu Bei to the entrance of the plains, and Yuan Shao personally led it.
Everyone came out of Ye County to welcome Liu Bei for thirty miles. This formation moved Liu Bei very much and hurriedly thanked him.
Yuan Shao said: "I really didn't have the energy to rescue my youngest son yesterday, so I felt very uneasy. Fortunately, I could see you here, which really comforted my lifelong lovesickness."
Liu Bei said: "I have heard of your reputation for a long time. I thought of your disciples for a long time, but I never had a chance. Now that I am attacked by Cao Cao, my wife and family have fallen. I think of General, you can accommodate people from all over the world, so I
Come and join us, hoping to take it in, and I will definitely repay you."
Yuan Shao was very happy after hearing this and was very kind to Liu Bei, so he lived together in Jizhou.
Cao Cao took off Xiaopei that night and immediately led his troops to attack Xuzhou. Mi Zhu and Jian Yong were no match for him, so he could only lose the city and escape. At this time, it was Chen Deng again, and presented the city to Cao Cao.
After Cao Cao's army entered the city, he appeased the people in Xuzhou City, and then gathered everyone to discuss the next military operation.
Xun Yu said: "Guan Yu protects Liu Bei's wife and family, and will definitely guard the death. If we don't take him down quickly, I'm afraid Yuan Shao will send troops to attack our rear."
Cao Cao remembered the scene of the eighteen princes attacking Lu Bu. At that time, everyone was not Hua Xiong's opponent and they did not dare to fight. As the horse archer behind Liu Bei, Guan Yu, was preparing to fight. He personally warmed up the wine, but Guan Yu was still in the wine.
The next general Hua Xiong beheaded, raised him onto his head, and said, "I like Guan Yu's martial arts very much and want to subdue him. Why not send someone to persuade him to surrender."
Guo Jia said: "Guan Yu is a very loyal person and will definitely not surrender. If someone is sent to convince him, he may be killed."
Suddenly, someone from the tent came out, bowed, and said, "I have a certain friendship with Guan Yu, and I hope to persuade him."
Everyone saw that it was Zhang Liao, who had been pleaded with by Guan Yu from Baimenlou in front of Cao Cao, who was the general of Lu Bu.
Cheng Yu pointed at Zhang Liao and said, "I know you have a friendship with Guan Yu, but I observed that this person cannot be persuaded by words. I have a plan that can make him desperate. At this time, if you persuade him again, you will definitely
He can be allowed to surrender to the Prime Minister.”
Cao Cao was very anxious to conquer Guan Yu, and quickly asked what the plan was.
Cheng Yu said: "Guan Yu has the strength of an enemy of ten thousand people, and he cannot be plotted against him without wisdom. Now he can send the surrendered soldiers under Liu Bei to Xia Pi to see him, and say that he had escaped, and then let them serve as internal support in the city.
Attract Guan Yu from the battle, then pretend to fail, lure him into our ambush circle, then use elite troops to intercept the retreat, and then send Zhang Liao to persuade him."
Cao Cao listened to this plan and sent dozens of surrendered soldiers from Xuzhou to Xia Pi to join Guan Yu. These dozen surrendered soldiers were all capable people in Cao Cao's army in the past and had undergone special training.
When Guan Yu saw these people, he happened to be worried about Liu Bei's safety and thought that they were grateful for Liu Bei's feelings, so he left them in Xia Pi and asked about Liu Bei's situation in detail.
On the second day, Xiahou Dun was the vanguard and brought five thousand soldiers to fight. Guan Yu couldn't stand it, so Xiahou Dun sent people to the city to scold him. Guan Yu couldn't listen anymore, so he took three thousand soldiers out of the city.
Fight with Xiahou Dun.
Xiahou Dun knew that the other party had taken the bait, so he pretended to fail and retreated back. Guan Yu naturally chased him. Xiahou Dun fought and retreated. Guan Yu walked for about twenty miles, afraid that something would happen to Xia Pi, so he didn't dare to chase him again.
The troops are back.
Hearing a cannon, Xu Huang on the left and Xu Chu on the right. Two teams of men rushed out at the same time, cutting off the way of the two armies. Guan Yu could only find the air raid and break through. Suddenly, the ambush on both sides shot down bows and arrows, and the arrows were like rain.
Next, although Guan Yu's martial arts skills are very high, such bows and arrows are very dense, so he can't pass, so he can only return to his original place, with Xu Huang and Xu Chu, Guan Yu waved a Qinglong Yanyue Sword so tightly that he tried his best to push the two of them.
Kill and retreat, and took the troops back to Xia Pi. Xiahou Dun appeared at this time, and fought with Guan Yu for a while, and fought until the evening. Guan Yu had no way to go, so he came to a mountain of earth.
Stop the troops in the local area and rest and rectify the troops.
On the Tushan Mountain, Guan Yu saw the situation in Xia Pi City. The Cao army at the foot of the mountain had long surrounded this place. He saw the flames in Xia Pi City soaring into the sky.
This was the dozen surrendered Cao soldiers who took advantage of Guan Yu's opportunity to open the city gate secretly. Cao's army took advantage of the chaos and led the army into the city, and occupied Xia Pi without any effort. The strategist suggested lighting it in the city.
The torch came to doubt Guan Yu.
After all, the eldest brother's sister-in-law was still in the city. Guan Yu was panicked when he saw the fire in the city. He wanted to rush down several times overnight and went to Xiapi City to find out what was going on, but he was shot back by arrows.
Finally, I was destined to be destined to rectify the conflicts down the mountain, but suddenly I saw a man and a horse walking up the mountain.
After Guan Yu saw it clearly, he knew that he was his old friend Zhang Liao, so he came out to greet him and said, "Did brother Zhang Liao come to me to fight one-on-one? It just so happened that we haven't had a long time to compete!"
Zhang Liao said: "It's not what you thought. I'm taking into account our friendship and your kindness in the past, and I came to you specially." After that, he abandoned his knife and dismounted and saluted Guan Yu. The two sat on the top of the mountain and chatted, as if they were again
Back to my days in Xuzhou and Xia Pi.
There are large white clouds on the mountain. This may be the better weather recently, but the temperature is still very low, and the two of them are still breathing white breath during the conversation.
The two were silent for a long time, and Guan Yu spoke first and said, "Are you convinced me to surrender for Cao Zhe?"
Zhang Liao explained: "It's not like this. I was saved by you before, but today I have no reason not to come and save you!"
Guan Yu did not understand what Zhang Liao meant, so he said, "Then what you mean was to help me and fight against Cao's army with me?"
Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "It's not like this either."
Guan Yu became even more confused and said, "You are not here this time to help me or be enemies with me. So what are you here?"
Zhang Liao said: "I remember that you had a four-part alliance with Taoyuan and were famous all over the world. Now Liu Bei doesn't know life and death, Zhang Fei doesn't know where he is, and Yu Yi doesn't know where he is now. Last night, Cao Gong had already broken Xiapi City.
He did not hurt the city at all, and sent people to protect Liu Bei's family and did not allow the soldiers to disturb him. I will tell you this way."
Guan Yu said angrily: "You are clearly here to be the lobbyist of the Cao thief. Although I am in a desperate situation now, I am ready to die. You can leave quickly. I will go down the mountain to fight you immediately."
Zhang Liao laughed and said, "Brother, aren't you afraid of laughing at all over the world when you say this?"
Guan Yu said: "I died for loyalty and righteousness, how could I be ridiculed by the world?"
