It was reported that Xianbei gathered a crowd of 70,000 to 80,000 people to invade the border.
Gao Shun directly took a round number and told Guan Yu one hundred thousand Xianbei troops.
"Is this true?" Guan Yu's expression changed after hearing this.
Even ordinary farmers know what it means to be invaded by foreign tribes, let alone a general like Guan Yu.
Once the Xianbei army breaks through the border, the outcome of being displaced is pretty good for the people at the border. When the border is broken, the most likely scene will be like what Cao Cao said in his poem: "The bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no chickens in thousands of miles."
Ming."
Tragic...
"The Xianbei attack is absolutely true." Gao Shun said in a deep voice, "That's why I hope that General Guan will not leave and join my lord Cao Mengde in fighting against the barbarians to ensure the peace of our great man!"
Guan Yu obviously seemed a little hesitant. It could be seen that he was quite concerned about the news of the alien invasion.
However, in Guan Yu's heart, Liu Bei was always irreplaceable.
"But, now I finally know the whereabouts of my brother..." Guan Yu thought for a while, and finally wanted to return to Liu Bei.
As the saying goes, the nights are long and the dreams are many. If you continue to stay in Cao Cao's camp, who knows what else will happen. Now Cao Cao is just avoiding him, but in the future, who knows if he will use other means to stop him
Return to Liu Bei.
Furthermore, although Xianbei was in trouble, Guan Yu believed that with Cao Cao's ability and strength, he could definitely cope with it. He was just a general. Did Cao Cao still lack a general? It would not be like saying that he was missing one.
, Cao Cao couldn't defeat Xianbei.
If so, that would be too much praise for Guan. Although Guan is arrogant, he will never be so arrogant.
As soon as Gao Shun heard Guan Yu's tone, he knew that he still wanted to leave, and hurriedly said: "General Guan, the battle between our lord and Yuan Shao is just a dispute between the feudal lords within the Han Dynasty. No matter who wins or loses, the Han Dynasty is still the Han Dynasty.
North Korea. But the battle with Xianbei is very different. This time it is for the sake of national justice and it is a battle that must be won. If this battle is defeated, our Han border will face the danger of life and death!"
These four words of national justice shocked Guan Yu.
"Prime Minister Cao's men are like rain. Even without Guan, they are enough to intimidate the people of Di Yi." It is undeniable that Gao Shun's words moved Guan Yu very much. But he still warned himself in his heart that now is the time.
It's time to leave. If a war begins with Xianbei, the war will definitely not end in three or five days. It will at least last for several months. But if I continue to delay and stay in Cao's camp, what if Cao Cao changes his mind in the future?
, what should I do if I am forcibly detained?
"General Guan, don't you want to serve as a guard? Huo's matter!" Seeing that Guan Yu was still hesitating, Gao Shun couldn't help but feel a little more anxious, "Xianbei is coming fiercely, the army has strong soldiers and horses, and our army has just finished fighting Yuan Shao
, when we are exhausted, we may not be able to win the battle, so the situation at the border can be said to be precarious. Although there are many good generals in my lord's account, there are none as brave as General Guan. I hope that the general can help my lord again in this critical time.
A helping hand, don’t abandon my Lord at this moment.”
Gao Shun knew that Cao Cao couldn't bear to let Guan Yu go, and he himself didn't want Guan Yu to leave Cao Ying, so he tried every means to retain him.
Even if you stay one more day, it's just one more day.
Hearing Gao Shun speak so sincerely, Guan Yu's eyes narrowed.
The most important thing is that Gao Shun's previous words "General, don't you want to serve as a guard, Huo's matter" really caused a ripple in his heart.
Wei, Huo Zhe, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. As long as you are in the Han Dynasty, I believe no one will be unfamiliar with these two names.
Wei Qing, a famous general during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, won seven battles and seven victories against the Xiongnu, completely changing the Han Dynasty's low attitude towards the Xiongnu, which had always been complacent. For his merits, he was named a great general and a great Sima.
Huo Qubing followed Wei Qing when he was only seventeen years old. He achieved great results with eight hundred men defeating two thousand, and was awarded the title of Champion. At the age of nineteen, he assumed the high position of Hussar General and went to Hexi to annihilate more than 40,000 enemies.
They captured more than 120 Xiongnu nobles and generals, and fully occupied the Hexi Corridor. The Huns cried out sadly: "Losing me in Qilian Mountain will make my six animals unable to rest! Losing me in Yanzhi Mountain will make my married woman colorless!"
When he was twenty-two years old, Huo Qubing led his army deep into Mobei, fought with the main force of the Xiongnu, and annihilated 70,000 enemies. Taking advantage of the victory, he pursued him to Langjuxu Mountain, where he held a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven, which is known as "Sealing Langjuxu" in history.
.
It can be said that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are the idols of almost all Han Chinese men. And the four words "Fenglangjuxu" are the dreams that all Han Chinese men once had when they were young.
As long as they are big-hearted men, they all hope that one day they can be like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, who can send troops outside the country, drive out the barbarians, and seal the wolves as Xu!
Guan Yu is naturally no exception. When he was young, he had the same yearning as the majority of passionate young people. But now Gao Shun's words "General Guan doesn't want to follow the guard, Huo Zhizhi" once again reminded him
The dream of my youth.
The young man is unruly, he just wants to wield his power in Mobei, imitate the guards, Huo Huohua, seal the wolf as his vassal, and make great achievements.
However, the current situation was turbulent and the world was in chaos. He was even forced to leave his hometown because of being convicted of murder. His childhood ambitions and ideals have changed since then.
Fighting against Xianbei and fighting against Yuan Shao have completely different meanings from fighting against other princes of the Han Dynasty. Guan Yu also knows this.
"Okay, for the sake of the people at Liming at the border, it doesn't matter if I agree to stay for a while. But when Xianbei retreats, you can't push me back to my eldest brother!" Guan Yu thought about it again and again, and finally agreed to participate in the battle against Xianbei.
War. However, he repeatedly said that as soon as the war was over, he would leave immediately.
Guan Yunchang, Yi Bo Yuntian! This "righteousness" not only includes brotherhood, but also includes the great righteousness of saving all people from water and fire. And participating in the battle against Xianbei is when Guan Yu implements this great righteousness!
————————————————————————————————————The news of the Xianbei Kou border reached the court, and the whole court was shocked. And the young man
The great emperor of Han Dynasty also seemed a little panicked when faced with this news.
Regarding how to deal with Xianbei, the ministers were divided into two groups. After the war, Dong Cheng and others believed that the army was tired and it was not suitable for an expedition. If Xianbei invaded the border, all they wanted was property and food. They should use the money they promised to make peace.
.
As soon as their proposal for peace was put forward, they were immediately ridiculed and criticized by Cao Cao. Cao Cao believed that the barbarians have always been unfaithful. If we give them money and food as soon as they attack the border, it will only leave a huge gap for the other side.
The impression that the Han Dynasty was weak and could be bullied further increased their appetite. The only solution today is to fight with it!
The Han Emperor was originally a smart man, and now he was growing up day by day and gradually becoming more knowledgeable. He also knew that the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had just ended not long ago, and the combat effectiveness of the army at this time could be said to be not high.
Under such circumstances, it is really not optimistic to travel long distances outside the border to fight with alien armies.
But Cao Cao was right. If the Han Dynasty shows weakness today, the barbarians will definitely take advantage of it in the future. Since the fact of Xianbei's invasion cannot be changed, the only option is to fight.
Regarding the war between Cao Cao and Xianbei, Emperor Han also had a very absurd idea: If Cao Cao loses to Xianbei, it may not be a bad thing, and maybe it can suppress his arrogance in the court.
Anyway, even if Cao Cao was defeated, the Xianbei army would at best massacre and loot the border gates, but they would never be able to reach the city of Xuchang, which would eventually pose a threat to themselves.
It has to be said that after being oppressed by Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Cao Cao and others for a long time, the Han Emperor's temperament has become somewhat cold.
However, this idea just came into the mind of Emperor Han, and he shook his head suddenly. Although he became a little cold, he was far from crazy. Emperor Han was still very aware of being the king of a country, and he knew
As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I must not have such thoughts. No matter how much I hate Cao Cao, I cannot place my hope of overthrowing Cao Cao on the barbarians, let alone expect tens of thousands of people at the border to be massacred and bullied by foreign tribes.
After taking a few deep breaths, Emperor Han's eyes gradually became clear and even a bit sharp.
"Fight! Drive back all the enemies who invade our Han Dynasty!" At this moment, the Han Emperor showed his majesty as the Emperor.
When Cao Cao saw this, his heart trembled. Although the emperor was still young, he now had the temperament of a superior and even the best in the world. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for him?
