Chapter 642: Guan Yu vomits blood, and Liu Bei is terrified
Guan Yu was so angry that he vomited blood.
The capture of my beloved son was a trauma. Seeing my beloved son's broken arm was another heavy blow. Now the bad news that Pengcheng fell and Liao Hua was beheaded became the most fatal blow. How can I not be arrogant and arrogant?
Guan Yu vomited blood.
"General Guan!" Seeing Guan Yu vomiting blood, everyone on the left and right were so frightened that they all pounced on him.
"Father, Commander--" Among the crowd, a young female general was seen. She separated from the crowd and jumped to Guan Yu's knees in a few steps.
That young female general is none other than Guan Yu's second daughter Guan Feng.
Guan Feng supported her father who was vomiting blood, her pretty face full of shock, worry and concern.
Guan Yu pushed his daughter's hand away, breathed out forcefully, and said in a deep voice: "I am fine, I don't need your help."
After spitting out the mouthful of blood, the anger accumulated in Guan Yu's chest seemed to be vented a little, and his face, which was so red that it turned purple, also improved a little.
Seeing that his father had stabilized his energy and blood, Guan Feng's anxious expression calmed down a bit.
"Father, that Yan thief went too far. He even hurt my elder brother and took my city. My daughter is willing to lead an army to attack. She will cut off Yan thief's head and offer it to the father to relieve his anger." Guan Feng bit her teeth and angrily
Please fight.
If it had been one day ago, Guan Yu would not have needed his daughter to ask for a battle, and he would have personally led his army to wipe out the Chu army.
But now, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes. Even the arrogant Guan Yu does not dare to make mistakes easily at this time.
Guan Ping was captured, Liao Hua was killed, ten thousand elite troops were lost, and the important town of Pengcheng was lost. This was a huge loss to the entire Xuzhou Army.
What's even more frightening is that Yan Liang personally leads an army of 90,000, while Guan Yu only has 20,000. In such an unfavorable situation, if he attacks easily, he will die.
Although Guan Yu was angry, he could clearly see the strength and weakness of the enemy and ourselves.
Faced with his daughter's request for a fight, Guan Yu remained silent and did not refuse, but he also did not agree.
In silence, Guan Yu turned his gaze to Lu Su, with a hint in his eyes.
Lu Su hesitated for a moment, and then understood Guan Yu's hint. The former general of the Yan Kingdom was asking Lu Su for help, hoping to help him rescue the siege.
A hint of pride flashed through Lu Su's heart.
At that moment, he cupped his hands and said: "The Yan thieves invaded our state and killed our soldiers. It is really hateful. This revenge should be repaid. But now we have many enemies and we are outnumbered. We have to attack in a hurry. If there is a slight mistake, the entire Xuzhou will be destroyed."
It is in danger, and if there is a change in Xuzhou, General Yunchang will be betraying the great trust of the king."
What Lu Su said was reasonable, but Guan Feng was thinking about her elder brother's broken arm, so how could he listen to it?
Just when Guan Feng was about to say more, Guan Yu said first: "Zijing's words are reasonable. The general is entrusted by the King of Yan to guard Xu Tu. How can he ruin the overall plan of the King of Yan just because of his anger?
"
After Guan Yu said this, Guan Feng had no choice but to swallow down the anger that reached his mouth, and closed his mouth gloomily.
"Zijing, in your opinion, how should I respond to the enemy now?" Guan Yu finally put down his body and took the initiative to ask Lu Su for help.
Lu Su was proud in his heart, but he didn't dare to be self-reliant on the surface. He just pretended to be thinking hard and thought about it for a long time.
After a long while, Lu Su sighed: "Pengcheng has been lost, and the gate of Xuzhou has been opened. Su thought that for the current plan, the general can only stick to Xiapi, wait for the king's reinforcements to arrive, and then cooperate with the inside and outside to defeat the Yan thief.
Stick to Xiapi.
These four words in Lu Su's mouth were like needles, piercing Guan Yu's flesh.
Holding on to Xiapi means that his majestic Guan Yu will huddle in Xiapi City, allowing Yan Liang to besiege the city, and allowing Yan Liang's cavalry to sweep through the counties of Xuzhou, show off their power, burn, kill and loot.
Guan Yangong's dignity will be damaged again.
Although his body ached, Guan Yu's mind was very clear. At this point, he had no choice but to hide in Pi City and wait for help.
Guan Yu fell into silence, with veins bulging on his red and purple face, and complicated emotions were ravaging Guan Yu's proud heart.
After struggling for a long time, Guan Yu took a deep breath: "As you are now, the whole army will stick to Xiapi."
After the order was passed, Lu Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and those who were afraid of Guan Yu's impulsiveness also breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Guan Feng was indignant, gnashing his teeth, and said with hatred in his heart: "Tie Yan, I will let you be crazy for a moment. When my uncle's reinforcements arrive, I, Guan Feng, will kill your head to avenge my elder brother and my father."
Handsome and relieved, hum——"
When Guan Yu hurriedly built the defense of Xiapi City with an army of 20,000, Yan Liang personally led the main force of the Chu army, and within a few days, they rushed to Xiapi City in a mighty manner.
Xiapi is located at the intersection of Yishui River and Surabaya River. Going north along the Yishui River can lead to Qingzhou, going west along the Surabaya River can directly reach Pengcheng, and going south from the Surabaya River can go to Huaiyin and then south to the Yangtze River.
Xiapi City is truly the heart of Xuzhou. If you want to capture Xuzhou, you must capture Pi.
After Yan Liang's army arrived at Xiapi City, they immediately set up camps on all sides and quickly completed the siege of Xiapi City.
At the same time, Yan Liang flew on horseback and ordered Lu Meng, the governor of Huainan, to lead 40,000 Huainan troops as soon as possible to defeat Guangling guarded by Zang Ba, and march north to join his main army in Xiapi.
The offensive and defensive battle of Xiapi City was about to begin. Guan Yu's cavalry asked for help, and with Guan Yu's urgent mood, they rushed to the front line of Luoyang.
…
In the east of Luoyang City, one hundred thousand Yan troops gathered here.
Due to the withdrawal of Yan Liang's troops from Chen Liu, Liu Bei's pressure in the east was suddenly reduced, so Liu Bei was able to mobilize all the main forces from the Central Plains to the Luoyang area, hoping to compete with Cao Cao's 60,000-strong army for the city of Luoyang.
Liu Bei's 100,000-strong army were elite soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles in the Battle of Youyan, but nearly half of Cao Cao's 60,000-strong army were new recruits who were unfamiliar with the battle formation.
There is no need to think too much about strength and weakness.
Cao Cao, who was in a weak position, did not dare to confront Liu Bei head-on, so he could only rely on Luoyang City, trying to hold on to the city to repel Liu Bei's strong attack.
In the early morning of that day, the Yan army came out in full force and formed an overwhelming array in the east of Luoyang City, as if they were about to attack the city.
The endless military formation and the sea of flags rolling in waves were so huge that they indeed created a strong psychological pressure on Cao's army at the top of the city.
Under the king's flag, Liu Bei stood on horseback, with a bit of pride on his gray face.
Today, Liu Bei actually did not intend to attack the city by force. He just used Sima Yi's plan to show off his troops outside the city to show Cao Cao his powerful military power, so as to force Cao Cao to make concessions and withdraw from Luoyang City in fear.
"The might of our army will frighten Cao Cao's army. Then we will send people to negotiate with Cao Cao. With a two-pronged approach, we may be able to make Cao Cao give up Luoyang City without spending a single soldier." Sima Yi, who was beside him, said calmly.
Liu Bei nodded slightly, deeply convinced.
"Yan Thief, wait until I, the King, retreat from Cao Cao, and then take care of you!" Liu Bei secretly vowed in his heart.
Just as he was making the oath, a scout on horseback came flying towards him, directly in front of him.
"Your Majesty, General Guan of Xuzhou is reporting urgently. Not long ago, the Chu army raided Xuzhou and captured Pengcheng. Now the army is encircling Xiapi. General Guan asks your Majesty to send reinforcements quickly to relieve the danger in Xuzhou."
Yan Liang defeated Pengcheng and surrounded Xiapi!
Suddenly, Liu Bei felt a loud bang in his eardrums, his mind went blank, his body shook violently, and he almost couldn't sit still.
All the civil and military officials on the left and right were horrified.
Especially Sima Yi, whose shocked face revealed a strong look of shame.
Contrary to everyone's fear, Zhuge Liang had a calm expression on his face, waving his feather fan lightly, calm and calm, as if he had expected this outcome.
"Didn't the Yan thieves retreat to the south? How could they suddenly attack Pengcheng?" Liu Bei, who had recovered from his head covering, asked Sima Yi in disbelief.
"This..." Sima Yi looked ashamed and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
At this time, Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Liang has said before that Yan Thief is cunning and should not be underestimated. Liang thought that Yan Thief must be making a name for himself by retreating to the south, so he suddenly detoured from Qiaojun to Liang Kingdom halfway, and then
While Yunchang's main force was in Guangling, he suddenly captured Pengcheng."
Zhuge Liang's words explained Liu Bei's doubts.
Liu Bei suddenly realized that he had once again fallen into Yan Liang's plan.
Yan Liang led his army to retreat, which was not what Liu Bei thought at all. He wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting to reap the profits.
Yan Liang took advantage of your thoughts to retreat from the Central Plains in a grand manner, and then while you were entangled with Cao Cao, he suddenly turned and rushed to Xuzhou.
Liu Bei woke up, feeling extremely ashamed and angry. He only felt that his dignity was once again deeply humiliated by Yan Liang.
"The Yan thief is so cunning and hateful!" Liu Bei gritted his teeth in hatred.
Sima Yi's face was gloomy, sweat rolled down his forehead, and he was at his wits' end.
But Zhuge Liang held back his hands and said: "My lord, if Xuzhou is lost, Yan Liang can attack Qingyan from the east and attack our flank. The threat to our country of Yan will be far more serious than the loss of Luoyang. Liang thought that
, At this time, we must no longer argue with Cao Cao about the ownership of Luoyang. We should immediately reach a reconciliation with Cao Cao and quickly return to the east to aid Xuzhou."
Liu Bei gritted his teeth, and the veins on his face twitched, showing unwillingness and hatred.
However, at this point, what can he do except follow what Zhuge Liang said.
After all, Yan Liang is the biggest threat.
After much thought and desperation, Liu Bei could only sigh and reluctantly accepted Zhuge Liang's suggestion.
Therefore, Liu Bei immediately withdrew his troops, sent envoys to make peace with Cao Cao, and promised to transfer Luoyang to Cao Cao, while Liu Bei continued to occupy Hulao Pass and Xingyang.
After reaching an agreement with Cao Cao, Liu Bei left Zhang Fei's troops to garrison Chenliu to guard against Cao Cao. He then rushed his 100,000 troops to Xuzhou at night and day.
…
Thousands of miles away, west of Xiapi City.
Guan Yu stood with his sword in hand and stared sternly at the approaching Chu army formation.
At this time, Guan Yu was mentally prepared to respond to the Chu army and attack wave after wave.
But what surprised Guan Yu was that the Chu army had completed its formation but had not yet launched an attack.
Not long after, the Chu army's formation was seen splitting open, and a towering chariot was slowly pushed out in front of the formation.
Guan Yu raised his eyes and looked into the distance, vaguely seeing someone tied up above the pair of buildings.
When Guan Yu saw clearly who the tied man was, his stern face was instantly filled with shock and anger.
The kidnapped person was none other than his good son Guan Ping who had both his arms broken. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
