In the evening, the army escorted the prisoners back to the city.

Starting at night, it became the busiest time in the entire Neihuang County and the military camp in the north of the city.

Since the prison in the city was too small, there was almost no place to place these prisoners, so they had to be tied up in the military camp in the city.

This is also a big drawback of Liu Bei's camp. When Cao Cao encounters prisoners that he cannot handle, he will never show mercy when killing them.

But Liu Bei couldn't do it. Firstly, it was against morality. Secondly, his reputation lies in benevolence and righteousness and cannot be destroyed.

For this reason, Chen Mu had to send people overnight to Beicheng between Dangyin and Neihuang, and asked Ju Yi, who was stationed in Beicheng, to send his Black Mountain Army to take the prisoners back and send them to the rear for farming.

In addition, most of the Jizhou soldiers had surrendered. Although a few escaped, six to seven thousand horses were still left behind.

This is a huge gain.

Guan Yu sent his most trusted general Guan Hai to personally lead five thousand soldiers and rushed to Xiangyang Township overnight to get it.

Because some of the cavalry took advantage of the chaos and escaped, Yan Liang should have gotten the news by now. If Yan Liang also sent people there, it would be a loss for them.

Of course, there is also Sun Jian’s batch of baggage...

This is his own baggage. Chen Mu is not Li Yunlong, and Sun Jian is not Chu Yunfei. There is no antagonistic relationship between the two sides. Naturally, these baggage must be sent to Sun Jian, otherwise his soldiers will be short of food and grass.

After dealing with these post-war matters, everything was settled. Chen Mu and Guan Yu were discussing matters in the camp in the north of the city. All the generals in the tent were gathered. Except for Guan Hai, everyone was here.

Guan Yu is sitting at the top. He and Chen Mu have the same official positions. One is a former general and the other is a young governor. They both have a rank of two thousand dan, and their titles are also the same, they are both county marquises.

Therefore, there is no official position here, only the order of seniority and youth.

Chen Mu sat first under Guan Yu's right hand, followed by Guan Ping, Wang Dan, Guan Cheng, Zhang Rao and other generals in order.

Sima Lang, Sima Yi, Yang Xiu, and Chen Qun were sitting next to them as documents recording military affairs.

After everyone was seated, Chen Mu said with a smile: "Second brother, today's defeat of Wen Chou has shaken the Jizhou army, and the morale will inevitably drop sharply. Yan Liang has a quick temper and is prone to panic. We can use this to defeat him."

"oh?"

Guan Yu asked curiously: "How does the fourth brother plan to deal with it?"

"Yan Liangwen Chou is a brother-in-law. When he learns that Wen Chou has been killed, Yan Liang will be very angry. The anger will go to his head and all the fear of his elder brother will be diluted. We can issue a gauntlet tonight and arrange a decisive battle with Yan Liang tomorrow."

Chen Mu offered advice: "With Yan Liang's character, he will definitely accept the challenge. When the time comes, the second brother can go out to fight with him. Fight to the fullest, pretend to be defeated, turn around and run away. The claws are fast, the lightning is fast, and the world can catch up with him.

It's Chitu'er. All you need to do is lead him into an ambush, pull out all the ambush troops, and shoot him!"

"Pretending to be invincible?"

Guan Yu laughed and said: "Little Yanliang, why pretend to be invincible? He can't beat me at all. Fourth brother, don't worry, I will behead him."

Chen Mu frowned: "Second brother, I know you are arrogant, but this is not the time to act on impulse. This is for the big brother, for the Han Dynasty, and for the great cause of the emperor."

"Well......"

Mentioning Liu Bei, the Han Dynasty, and the Emperor of Luoyang, Guan Yu hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "How did the fourth brother know that Yan Liang would definitely challenge? What if he didn't dare to fight?"

"Second brother, don't worry. The death of Wen Chou has greatly reduced the morale of the Jizhou army. If Yan Liang does not dare to fight, the morale will decline even more."

Chen Mu said with a smile: "And the Jizhou army knows that Yan Liang and Wen Chou are considered brothers. If he does not avenge Wen Chou, how will the Jizhou army think of him? So whether it is to stabilize the morale of the army or to avenge his brothers, he must go to war."

Historically, Jushu once commented that Yan Liang had an impatient personality and was easily flustered. In fact, what he meant was that he had a bad temper and was prone to impulsive mistakes. Once he made a mistake, he would become overwhelmed and eventually defeated.

In the battle of Youli City, Yan Liang was beaten by Guan Yu and was unable to fight back because he panicked at that time. When he panicked, he was almost hacked to death by Guan Yu.

Then he was photographed by that sharp blade, and Yan Liang had inner demons from then on.

But now the situation is beyond his control. After Wen Chou's death, if Yan Liang doesn't avenge Wen Chou, what will the Jizhou Army think of him?

What's more, after Wen Chou's death, his morale plummeted. If he didn't revive his morale, he would definitely lose.

Therefore, all things considered, Yan Liang had no choice but to fight.

"Um."

Guan Yu nodded slowly. He agreed with this inference.

Chen Mu continued to persuade: "Yuan Shao is still attacking Gaotang. Big brother is in urgent need, and we must take action here. When Yan Liangwen Chou died, Wei County was shaken. Yuan Shao was shocked and had no choice but to return to the army for rescue. That's when the time comes

Youzhou, Luoyang, and Qingzhou are attacking at the same time. On the day of the decisive battle, we must not lose the big due to small things."

"Well......"

Guan Yu pondered for a long time, looking troubled.

This made him very confused.

In fact, Guan Yu was not a pedantic person, because when he passed five levels and killed six generals, he was forced to use a trick to kill Cai Yang because he could not capture Cai Yang in a short time.

Also during the Battle of Changsha, he fought with Huang Zhong for 100 rounds without deciding the outcome. In the end, he planned to defeat Huang Zhong with a knife trick. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong's own horse had a problem and he tripped to the ground.

I didn't use the drag-knife plan.

But these are only used in more critical situations when there is no other way. After passing five levels and killing six generals, Zhang Fei beat the drum three times and was forced to resort to tricks. In the Battle of Changsha, Liu Bei was eager to capture Jingnan and find a place to live.

Under normal circumstances, he still prefers to confront the enemy head-on on the battlefield and kill the enemy on his horse, rather than using tactics, which would really damage his reputation.

"Second brother, do you think doing this will damage your reputation?"

Chen Mu saw through Guan Yu's thoughts, thought for a while and said: "Actually, there is no other way."

"oh?"

Guan Yu hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, please tell me."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chen Mu muttered: "I know that the second brother is brave, and I also believe that the second brother can take down Yan Liang. But Yan Liang must die, we cannot let him

He ran away, so when the time comes, the second brother will first lead him into the ambush circle and fight with him. It would be best if he can kill him. If Yan Liang wants to run away, all the ambush troops will be released. What does the second brother think?"

"good!"

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "That's it!"

........

........

Just when Guan Yu and Chen Mu returned with a great victory, they were discussing tomorrow's battle in the military camp.

Yan Liang also learned about Wen Chou's death.

Although Wen Chou was defeated, there were still one or two thousand remaining soldiers who found an opportunity to escape.

Some of these remnant soldiers were wandering in the wilderness without knowing their direction; some were hiding in nearby mountains and forests to avoid pursuit; others followed the official road all the way north, and about four to five hundred horsemen fled back to Fanyang.

General Fanyang was horrified when he learned of the situation from these remnant soldiers, and quickly sent someone to notify Yan Liang on the north bank of Huan River.

At this time, Yan Liang had already arranged today's night patrol mission. He summoned many generals in the camp to arrange some camp work. After ordering the soldiers on guard to patrol well, he was about to lie down and rest.

A guard hurriedly came outside the tent and shouted anxiously: "General, general!"

"come in"

Yan Liang had just sat on the couch and before he lay down, he heard shouting outside, so he got up and put on his silk robe and said, "What happened?"

"It's bad, General."

As soon as the guard came in, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said with a look of sorrow and anger: "General Wen Chou went south and defeated Sun Jian. On the way back, he was ambushed by Guan Yu. His entire army was almost wiped out. Even General Wen Chou himself was beheaded by Guan Yu."

"What?"

Yan Liang felt his eyes darken, almost fainting, his whole face seemed to be twisted together, tears flowed out all of a sudden, and after a while, he shouted with grief and anger: "Uncle Evil!"

The guards did not dare to answer.

Yan Liangwen is a brother and sister, and the death of any one of them is enough to drive the other one crazy.

After a while, Yan Liang, with tears in his eyes, slapped the table hard and shouted angrily: "Guan Yu, I swear I won't be a human unless I kill you!"

"General!"

At this moment, another guard came outside to report.

"Come in!"

Yan Liang almost shouted through gritted teeth.

The guard saw Yan Liang's almost distorted face, and said tremblingly: "Guan Yu sent a letter of challenge outside the stronghold, and asked the general to fight with him tomorrow. He said that if the general dares to challenge him, and if he wins, he will not only return the body of General Wen Chou to the general, but also

Even the head of Guan Yu is presented to him. If the general dare not fight with him, then..."

"Just what?"

"It just... shows that the Jizhou army is all gutless rats. The so-called brotherhood between the general and General Wen Chou is nothing more than a joke."

"Ahhhh! Guan Yu!"

Yan Liang was completely furious, pulled out the sword from his waist, and started killing people wantonly in the tent.

The two guards were extremely frightened and ran out quickly.

After a while, Meng Dai, Shi Huan, Ma Yan, Cen Bi and other generals were awakened by the movement here and hurriedly came over to check the situation.

Outside the tent, the guards told him that Yan Liang was furious inside, and he didn't dare to go in for a while.

After waiting for a while, the place finally calmed down, and apart from heavy breathing, there was no other movement. The four of them looked at each other, and Meng Dai cautiously opened the curtain and looked inside.
