Chapter 854 Guan Yunchang goes to the meeting alone
Once Wang Yu's troops were dispersed, the four generals Xue Rengui, Ye Jiyang, Zhang Liao, and Guan Yu could only command 3,000 black cavalry each. Some of them were indeed lost!
Some people in Hedong Road really have some ideas about the various soldiers and horses!
The magistrate of Liang County, Ren Fan, didn't even have any regular guards in the city. There were only some government officials and second-rate county soldiers. The total number was less than 500 people, so he wanted to resort to a tactic of false surrender, and the ones who were false were just a few people.
Among them, Xue Rengui is the most famous.
This person first took the initiative to offer the city to Xue Rengui, and then held a banquet to invite Xue Rengui to the appointment. Generally speaking, the person who takes the initiative to offer the city also has the merit of dedicating the city. If someone with merit is invited, he will always be given three points of thin noodles.
Ren Fan, on the other hand, prepared to attack these at night with the intention of destroying them, and let the secretly buried axe-hand slash Xue Rengui to death in one fell swoop.
But who would have expected that that day, Xue Rengui did not let down his guard. Although it was inconvenient to bring his halberd to the banquet, he could still wear it with his sword.
And Xue Rengui was wearing inner armor. That day, he pretended to be drunk. When the time came for Ren Fan to break his trumpet, he suddenly jumped in front of Ren Fan and slashed Ren Fan's head with one sword.
brain.
There are those who pretend to surrender, but there are also those who actually surrender.
Gu Youzhi, the county lieutenant of Zhouxian County, wanted to ask Guan Yu to surrender, but instead he invited Guan Yu to talk to him alone in Xianluo Mountain, ten miles away from Zhouxian County.
Zhou County is not simple. It is the seat of Guyang County. Guyang County is connected to Hebei Road to the east and Shanyang Road to the north. It is an important town in the north. Among the counties in Hedong, Ping County is the first, followed by Zhou County.
Wang Yu's black cavalry now only operates within Guyang County and has not easily escaped from Guyang County.
Once the various ministries pull each other too far, the Hexi Army really has to give them a hand and cannot provide timely support, which is definitely not a good thing!
Guan Yu was not prepared to take action against Zhou County at the beginning. The Hexi Army had just entered Hedong not long ago. Of course, it was impossible to disperse the troops to various places, let alone easily bring the troops to Guyang County for Wang Yu to eat.
Even if the opponent wants to fight, they will definitely go all out and not send out some troops to deliver food.
But even so, it is naturally impossible for such an important city as Guyang County to be without defenders.
In fact, even though cities like Yangxian and Jiexian have few defenders, these are small counties. For an important town like Zhouxian, no matter how empty the troops in Hedong are, there are still four thousand defenders.
military.
Moreover, the county government and the county government together have hundreds of government officials.
If it was a field battle, Guan Yu's three thousand black cavalry would be a matter of rushing into the formation. But if it was a siege battle, and there were no siege equipment, all three thousand black cavalry would not be able to do anything to them.
.
For such a city, any normal person would not take the initiative to collide with it. At most, they would harass the opponent's troops leaving the city.
However, there was no hope in the first place, but now someone suddenly gives you hope. If you give up easily, Guan Yu will be unwilling to give up!
"Brother, Guo You has surrendered and wants to invite brother for a while. I'm afraid there may be some fraud involved, so don't touch him lightly!"
To be honest, Guan Sheng knew Guan Yu somewhat. Looking at Guan Yu's expression, he knew that Guan Yu was probably having some thoughts.
"Having said that, Gu Youzhi behaved like a gentleman, Jia Ren indulged the flesh and blood of the villagers and robbed civilian girls, but Guan did accidentally kill someone. What was wrong with what he did that day?" Guan Yu pressed the button of the excited Guan Sheng.
.
In his early years, Guan Yu was also a mung bean seller.
However, a local powerful Jia Ren, a flesh-and-blood villager, raped a common girl. Guan Yu saw injustice on the road, but accidentally killed this man.
Gu Youzhi was still the magistrate of Jie County at that time. In the yamen, he pointed out a series of evil deeds of Jia Ren and did not engage in malpractice for personal gain because of his relationship with Jia Ren.
Of course, Gu Youzhi also pointed out in court that although Guan Yu had his reasons, Jia Ren's crime did not lead to death. Moreover, Guan Yu used lynching on a civilian. Although it was not a death penalty, he should still be punished in order to set an example and let the people of the county
Make clear the majesty of the law.
However, not only was Jia Ren and Gu Youzhi cousins, but his sister was also the concubine of the county governor at that time. Gu Youzhi wanted to enforce the law impartially, but his arm could not twist his thigh. In the end, Guan Yu was still sentenced to a posthumous question.
cut.
However, Guan Yu was unwilling to be beheaded at that time. Later, Guan Sheng responded from the outside and successfully helped Guan Yu escape from prison secretly. Guan Yu then went on a journey to the end of the world until many years later, he met his brother again and the two joined together.
Among the Zhendong Army.
"Having said that, my younger brother was so excited at that time that he killed Jia Ren! Then Gu Youzhi would inevitably have a grudge in his heart." Guan Sheng said unnaturally.
Guan Yu escaped from prison, and although Guan Sheng helped Guan Yu at that time, no one knew about it. Therefore, there was certainly no need to follow Guan Yu into exile.
However, after that incident, Jia Ren's family was not reconciled to this, and tried their best to find the relatives of Guan Yu's family, and even found a group of local ruffians to harass Guan Yu's wife.
At that time, Gu Youzhi had helped Zhou Xuan. If it hadn't been for him, even Guan Sheng would not have been able to protect his sister-in-law and all the nephews.
However, Guan Sheng was so angry that after arranging his sister-in-law to take Guan Ping, Guan Suo, Guan Ling and other children and nephews to leave Hedong temporarily, he copied a single sword and broke into the Jia Mansion courtyard in the middle of the night.
That night, when he was halfway through the killing, Guan Sheng actually felt a little regretful. What was the difference between his actions and Jia Ren's group? But it had already begun, how could he put down the butcher knife? Therefore, except for a few children,
Guan Sheng finally couldn't bear to kill him, and more than 23 members of the Jia family died that night.
Guan Sheng naturally also recognized that Gu Youzhi did have the style of an ancient gentleman and was not picky about his character. However, Jia Ren and other family members were also related to Gu Youzhi. At this time, Guan Yu was asked to go alone.
When people meet, Guan Sheng is always worried.
"Brother, even if we go, we should at least bring enough manpower!" Seeing that Guan Yu couldn't be persuaded, Guan Sheng could only retreat and seek the next best option.
With more than a hundred black cavalry, even if Gu Youzhi had any evil intentions, with Guan Yu's courage, he could definitely kill him directly.
"Gu Youzhi invited me to meet with him alone, but I rode away with a large team. Doesn't this make people look down upon us?"
"Even if there are not those hundreds of black cavalry, Guan will not be able to come back with his sword and one horse?" Guan Yu still said firmly.
This kind of meeting before surrender is, in the final analysis, equivalent to an interview. Before that, the other party had only expressed interest. Once the process does not feel good, it is common for the situation to be overwhelming.
Therefore, even though he wanted to take risks, Guan Yu was not willing to cause trouble.
