During the Three Kingdoms era, Weishan Lake, which will be famous in later generations, has not yet taken shape.//High-speed update//[This article comes from] At this moment, as the dividing line between Donghai County and Pei State, there is a waterlogged area, which is what the ancients called
The swamp mentioned above. There is a mountain beside the swamp. It was named after Weizi, a famous official from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, who was buried here, so it was named Weishan.
In the spring of March, when the warblers are flying and the grass is growing, the swampland should be showing a lively scene, but in fact, the place is filled with only a chilly and cold atmosphere, and maybe a little bit of regret and helplessness.
Guan Pingzheng was earnestly advising: "Father, you and General Gongming are both fellow villagers and good friends. If you adopt this strategy now, even if it succeeds, you may not feel safe in the future. Moreover, even if you succeed in capturing General Gongming, it will not shake the Qingzhou Army.
Being strong only tarnished my father's great reputation."
Although he persuaded Guan Yu on the surface, Guan Ping always thought of his brother Guan Ning.
Guan Yu and Xu Huang were just fellow townsmen, and they had some friendship at the beginning of the Hebei War. But now in the Qingzhou camp, Guan Ning, who is in charge of tens of thousands of urban management troops, is Guan Ping's brother.
When he first left home, Guan Ping was filled with expectations and dreams of making great achievements. But after more than a year of experience, he gradually grew up and began to realize the cruelty of troubled times.
When he thought of facing his elder brother one day and facing each other with a knife, Guan Ping felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle. It was totally unpleasant. In a sense, what he was admonishing Guan Yu was also saying to himself.
"Why don't you know?" Guan Yu sighed and said, "Xu Huang is the general of Qingzhou, and I have always known his ability in using troops. Although I will not be afraid of him because of this, there are thousands of troops under his command, but the troops under his command are not as good as
Qingzhou's elite are far behind. Even if it were not so, with Xu Huang's ability, I would not be able to attack him in a hurry..."
As he spoke, Guan Yu also shook his head.
According to Liu Bei's marching plan, the army should drive directly to the hinterland of the East China Sea, and someone will be there to respond and provide food and grass. Now that it is blocked in Peixian County, the trouble will be big. Without food and grass, it is a question whether it can escape intact.
What about continuing to march into the army?
With no other choice, Guan Yu could only place his hope on winning by surprise.
After a ten-day stalemate, Guan Yu climbed up to take a closer look. After seeing Xu Huang's camp, he felt that it was impeccable. So he had no choice but to pin his hopes on his own martial arts, and wanted to invite the other party to answer in front of the battle array, and to punish him with righteousness, while the other party felt ashamed.
.Surprise on horseback and capture and kill them alone.
Although this kind of behavior is not fair enough, soldiers are not afraid of deceit. In order to win, personal honor and disgrace can only be temporarily put aside. Guan Yu has no psychological obstacles.
Historically, he relied on surprise attacks to kill Hua Xiong and Yan Liang. It is hard to say who is better in martial arts among them. But Guan Yu certainly did not have overwhelming strength. Because of the surprise attack, it was an instant kill.
In this life, he did not kill Yan Liang and Hua Xiong. But he planned to use this trick on Xu Huang.
"For the sake of the country's justice, this is the only way." Guan Yu sighed again, rode forward, and waited until he was in the formation. He encouraged himself and said in a loud voice: "Is Xu Gongming safe? My old friend Guan Yu is here, would you like to be with me?"
"
He was highly skilled in martial arts and full of energy. His voice spread far and wide. The formations of both armies stretched for miles and could be heard clearly. The Yuzhou army's morale suddenly rose and they shouted and shouted. The Qingzhou soldiers looked at each other in shock.
"General Gongming, don't fall for his trick!"
Hu Cai was startled at first by Guan Yu's shout, and then by Xu Huang's actions. The latter seemed to be about to respond. He grabbed Xu Huang and said loudly: "This Guan Yu's
The level of martial arts is comparable to that of the two generals Zilong and Ziyi. The general escaped lightly, just in case someone takes advantage of him..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Le was kicked on the leg. Hu Cai finally realized that his words seemed to be a sign of looking down on Xu Huang's martial arts. He was not sure how to explain it, but Li Le had already asked for his orders: "What kind of general Gongming is this?"
How can a person like this just come and meet him casually? The general only needs to hold down the formation in the center while I go and send him away."
After that, he picked up his sword and was about to mount his horse and go into battle.
"It doesn't matter." Xu Huang quickly stopped him. If Guan Yu wanted to make a sneak attack, he only had to be careful and he would not be defeated by the opponent in one or two moves. If Li Le came up, it would only be a matter of three or two moves without a sneak attack.
"I have a friendship with Yunchang from the same hometown, so I don't think he would take action on the spot. Even if he did, there is no need to worry. The lord has written many times to remind me, telling me to be careful of Yunchang's solo raid. How could I turn a deaf ear to it?"
What's the reason? Now that he's here, I can use the answers to spy on his military situation."
After saying that, Xu Huang mounted his horse, picked up his ax, and left the formation.
"My dear brother, it's been a long time." Guan Yu reined in his horse and held his hands in greeting.
Xu Huang leaned forward and replied: "It has been two years since we parted ways in Hebei. Brother Yun's demeanor remains the same. I never thought that one day, the former Paoze would also raise a sword against each other. It is really sad."
The two were originally from the same hometown, and when they fought side by side in Hebei, they also felt sympathy for each other. Because of Wang Yu's win over Guan Zhang, Xu Huang once thought that he and Guan Yu would become colleagues, but the outcome was unpredictable, and they finally had to fight face to face.
Yes, it really makes people feel uncomfortable.
"My brother raised the army this time not for personal grudges, but for national affairs!"
Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "General Hussar should never, absolutely should not, should not change the reign name without authorization! For thousands of years in China, the most important thing is etiquette. Wang Qiaoqi changed the system first, and then changed the etiquette, which shows his tampering heart.
Just like the mud on the snow, it is obvious that the big brother has no choice but to raise troops."
Judging from the logic of later generations, the truths Liu Bei said and Guan Yu relayed are actually not very tenable. However, this era pays more attention to justice than later generations, and Liu Bei's principles still have a certain market.
Of course, Guan Yu didn't expect to be able to persuade Xu Huang to withdraw his troops or even switch sides with just a few words. He still wanted to distract Xu Huang so he could take advantage of the opportunity to make a surprise attack.
"How can Yun Chang say such mediocre remarks?" Xu Huang pressed the ax handle with a sneer on his face.
"There is always a reason for the corruption of national affairs. If we stick to the old ways, what will happen even if we pacify the world? Are tragedies going to happen over and over again in the future? My lord has sworn not to proclaim himself emperor. He governs and acts out of public interest. How can he usurp it?
Contrary to the theory? As the saying goes: It takes three days to test the jade, and it takes seven years to identify the material. The Duke of Zhou is afraid of the rumor day, but Wang Mang is humble and does not usurp the time. Whether my lord is the Duke of Zhou or Wang Mang, future generations will comment on it.
If you keep asking each other like this, your knowledge will be too bad."
"Peng... General Hussar has another new poem coming out? The Duke of Zhou is afraid of the day of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble and respectful... These two sentences are indeed meaningful." Guan Yu's momentum stagnated slightly, and he muttered a few words in his mouth, and then suddenly raised his voice.
Said: "Even so, as a minister, if you do the things of the emperor, you can't do it out of public motives, right?"
"If it is just to correct political and legal shortcomings, why change the Yuan Dynasty?" The more Guan Yu said, the more he became more and more powerful: "I swore not to proclaim the emperor, but I just didn't take the initiative. If I change the Yuan Dynasty first, what will be the difference if everyone supports him in the future? In someone's opinion...
…”
"My lord is an indomitable hero. He only acts to live up to the heaven and earth, and to live up to the people. Why should he be so scrupulous and timid? But my brother's actions in the past two years are quite doubtful."
Xu Huang interrupted Guan Yu and his voice turned cold: "Let's not talk about other things, just talking about Xu You. Doesn't Chang Yun know that the matter of luring Hu Qi into the country was all due to this person's plan? He even secretly planned it back then.
With the intention of dethroning the emperor, your brother always regards himself as a member of the clan, how could he collude with such an unfaithful and unjust person? He keeps saying that it is for the sake of national affairs, in my opinion..."
"Shut up!" Guan Yu's face was already red, and now it was so red that he was about to bleed. Veins were popping out on his forehead. The anger in his eyes was like a raging fire that wanted to burn everything in front of him to ashes.
Xu Huang looked at him quietly without saying a single glance, but it put great pressure on Guan Yu.
"Big brother... Big brother, he only has a temporary advantage. He wants to borrow Mr. Zhong Ziyuan's wisdom. At the same time, he also has the intention to teach him how to return from the lost way with his sincerity and kindness..." Guan Yu stumbled over his explanation.
His confidence was not very strong to begin with, and he was once opposed to sending troops this time. If Zhang Fei hadn't been more determined than him, he would have worried that the situation would become tense and the brotherhood would be ruined, so he would not have agreed to Liu Bei so easily.
Zhang Fei doesn't like Xu You. He also has a straightforward and proud character, so he doesn't have much affection for Xu You. But without Xu You's help, Liu Bei wouldn't have been able to turn around so quickly. He could only maintain respect for his face.
Because of this, he was preparing for a sneak attack, but was refuted by Xu Huang in a few words and was rendered speechless.
Looking up at Xu Huang, Guan Yu knew there was no chance. The other party spoke politely and seemed harmless. In fact, Xu Huang's hand never left the ax handle. Behind him, Li Le and Hu Cai
The deputy general also unsheathed his sword and gun, cocked his crossbow, and was always ready to rush forward to fight.
"That's all. As soon as we meet today, we will cut off all odds. When we meet again, we will be enemies rather than friends, so there is no need to worry." After explaining the situation, Guan Yu was about to turn his horse and retreat.
"That's right!" Xu Huang replied solemnly: "Today is a national event. Is there any reason to abandon public service for private purposes? Yunchang takes care of it!"
Guan Yu paused for a moment, but did not answer. The hoofbeats of the horses rang rapidly, carrying a wisp of smoke and dust away. Xu Huang did not leave, but frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then turned his horse back.
"I had known that General Gongming was superb in martial arts and had profound strategies, but he didn't expect that he could be so eloquent. In just a few words, Guan Yu covered his face and walked away. It was considered a victory. It was almost a success, haha." When the flag door opened, Hu Cai laughed.
He came up to him and was full of praise.
However, Li Le found that Xu Huang's face was not proud, but had a thoughtful look on his face, and he felt slightly stern in his heart, and asked: "General Gongming, what's wrong?"
"No..." Xu Huang shook his head unconsciously, suddenly his face became solemn, and he ordered in a deep voice: "The person who is coming... quickly send a message to the lord. Liu Bei divided his troops into two groups. The other group may have passed through Pengcheng and reached Xiapi or even the East China Sea!
"
Both Li and Hu were confused. They had no idea why Xu Huang suddenly said such a sentence. Isn't Liu Bei's flag clearly erected on the opposite side?
