Chapter 612 Flies don't bite seamless eggs
In later evaluations, Que Yi is undoubtedly an underestimated existence because of Romance. After all, with a big stroke of his pen, Robben was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun during the Battle of Realm Bridge, and there was nothing behind him.
However, even though Que Yi's military achievements were much greater in the official history and played a great role in Yuan Shao's great cause of destroying Gongsun Zan for many years, the records about him are still very simple.
So the specific time when he was finally killed by Yuan Shao for "pride in his merits and ill-behaving", there is no record of the exact time when he was killed by Yuan Shao because of "primeness and indiscriminate behavior", it is estimated that it is likely that he died in the half-year period after the demise of Gongsun Zan in March 199 until the full outbreak of the Battle of Guandu later.
Although all this has not happened yet, Yuan Shao is far from being able to expand and rest assured in this life. However, the dissatisfaction and arrogance between Yuan Shao and Tuo Yi, and those who are good at observing human nature and ups and downs in the officialdom can still see some clues and realize that Yuan Shao’s incomplete trust in Tuo Yi.
Zhuge Liang is obviously a rare person who can see the fire in the world, but the evidence he currently has is not sufficient, so he can only analyze it for Guan Yu based on his own observation:
"Taiwei, although Que, although Que Yi has been in charge of Yuan Shao for nearly seven years, it seems that the trust between the two 'monarch and ministers' is unbreakable. But just from the few points we know, the flaws can be seen:
First of all, the time when Que Yi participated in Yuan Shao was obviously ugly than Yan Liang's literary style. Even though Yan Liang was dead, Yuan Shao's original trust in the two was obviously greater than that of Que Yi. In terms of the promotion speed over the years, Que Yi was originally at a high position, but he rose slowly.
Obviously, because he was an old general of Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, and at the critical moment when Yuan Shao took over Jizhou, Que Yi himself was dissatisfied with Han Fu and took his credit. As a result, he coincided with the timing of Yuan Shao's dealing with Han Fu, and the two of them were subordinates and allies to expel Han Fu.
This is not as good as Yan Liang and Wen Chou following Yuan Shao since Bohai County, and he seems to be more direct. Even though Zhang He is also a military sarcasm under Han Fu and has been a master of merit, Zhang He did not participate in the seller Han Fu and would not interfere in the faction. He is trusted by Yuan Shao than Que Yi."
Guan Yu had a patience and felt that he knew a lot of information about it, and it was not a secret. Then he hit Zhuge Liang: "This is a cliché. There are grudges and closeness in places where there are people. This is nothing. Yuan Shao would not disbelief of Tuo Yi because of this."
Zhuge Liang further analyzed: "But it's not that. I wonder if the Taiwei noticed that the troops under Que Yi, who was also an elite in Yuan Shao's camp, had not expanded their troops for many years until they destroyed Gongsun Zan. At the beginning, there were only more than 700 people. Later, after the battle was damaged, there were no more than 500 or 600 Que Yi's remaining troops.
Later, the world was peaceful again, Gongsun Zan died, and the Xiliang army in Guanxi was also destroyed by us. Yuan Shao secretly confronted our army and had to expand its military equipment. At this time, because Lu Bu captured some of the remnants of the Western Liang soldiers in Guanzhong who fled to the grassland. Later, when fighting against the grassland, he captured some of the Xiliang soldiers who fled to the grassland under Guo Si.
At this time, Qu Yi was forced to expand his army and enter the camp first by Yuan Shao, so he asked Yuan Shao to borrow the order of Lu Bu to hand over the prisoners from Xiliang to him to select soldiers. In the end, Qu Yi still insisted on trusting only the fellow villagers in Wuwei County of Xiliang. He expanded two camps according to seven camps, plus the old camp first, with a total of more than 2,000 people.
He looked down on the people of the rich places in Guandong, felt that the people in those places were not fierce enough, and only trusted the fellow villagers of Xiliang, and was proud of being the general of Huangfu Song for the rest of his life. Yuan Shao must have endured him for a long time.
Now, Xiliang has been completely pacified for nearly two years. Most of the thieves and soldiers who had gone astray and followed Li Guo were transformed by us. Especially the Taiwei, you served as the governor of Liangzhou for two years before His Majesty became emperor. To this day, there are still a considerable number of the soldiers who were transformed by Liangzhou.
Let's write a letter, and with the friendship of everyone who served Huangfu Gong, we advised him to abandon the darkness and the light, and to avoid being excluded by the Kanto people. Although Que Yi would not be moved immediately, he could lay a thorn in Yuan Shao's heart in time."
Guan Yu thought about it and found that although he was not sure about this matter, he would not lose much if he could not do it. Zhuge Liang simply suggested that he cooperate with a field battle of "ignoring Kuo Yi and only staring at Zhang Liao's beating". Guan Yu could still afford this price.
Guan Yu agreed: "I'll prepare for the battle to attack Zhangliao camp tomorrow. You write a book overnight and send someone to Tuo Yi. I will only ask what I write. Anyway, I'm not interested in the details of these disagreements. Even if I write it incorrectly, it will be useless."
Zhuge Liang immediately bowed his order and finally reminded him to add two sentences: "This time our army captured the wild king is not the fault of Tuo Yi. Tuo Yi defended Dongyuan, Zhuguanxing and other places directly bordering Henoi and Hedong.
It was our army who detoured and passed through some Zhang Liao's defense zone before attacking some unexpected pass counties in the hinterland of Tuo Yi. Therefore, he was still a little resentful towards Zhang Liao.
In my book, I plan to use the tricks and remind him that we will attack Zhang Liao tomorrow. But because he is from Xiliang, he does not want to be an enemy of him, so he will not attack his camp.
Tuo Yi would definitely not believe it. In addition, he had resentment towards Zhang Liao, so he would not take the initiative to be alert and would not send troops until Zhang Liao was really attacked. This would also help Tuo Yi watch Zhang Liao and the Grand Marshal take the lead, and his troops could accumulate taxes and clean up the mess before he could fight out.
I don't give him too much time. I will send him a letter to the scout tonight. When the Taiwei is about to send troops to attack Zhang Liao, I will send this letter to Que Yi. The letter does not specify when we will send troops. In this way, Que Yi hesitated and missed the opportunity to warn in advance. He was afraid of suspicion, so he could only pretend not to know anything."
Guan Yu was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.
...
In the early morning of the next day, the Kuoyi Camp, twenty miles east of Yewang City.
Tuo Yi was rigorous in his military management. Even in mid-winter, there were still rigorous night patrols and scouts late at night. After all, Guan Yu was only twenty miles away, so he had to be wary of Guan Yu robbing the camp at night.
About halfway through the fourth hour, a team of Tuo Yi's patrol cavalry outside the camp saw a small group of sneaky enemy cavalry patrols and pedestrians on the other side of Qinshui. The most arrogant thing was that they actually dared to light a torch when Tuo Yi's soldiers approached and deliberately exposed themselves.
Tuo Yi's cavalry immediately tried to wade through the water, but the opponent was light-armed cavalry, and immediately a rapid and unsustainable rain of arrows shot up, temporarily suppressing the pursuit speed of Tuo Yi's cavalry, and then extinguished the torch and took the opportunity to run away.
As if he was afraid that Yuan's scouts could not read, the Han army shouted a few words when they suddenly left: "My grand lieutenant's letter of war, please let General Kuo open it personally!"
Tuo Yi's cavalry had to cross the Qinshui River to catch up. In the darkness, there was no idea where the water could be in vain, so he had to give up.
"Ah... I'm hit by an arrow, please help me cover it."
Several Yuan army cavalry who had just been shot by the "arrow rain" were panicked and asked for help from all kinds of help.
However, after a brief inspection, the officers in charge found that none of their brothers died, and the only one who was injured was still frightened to fall off his horse after being shot by an arrow.
"There are no arrows? How many of them are tied with cloth and bamboo tubes?" The scout officer was also a confidant of Tuo Yi, and so many people saw it and witnessed it. It was difficult for them to dismantle it directly, so they sent it to Tuo Yi's central army tent.
Tuo Yi was woken up in his sleep and was not angry. For the general, he had to restrain his aura of getting up and develop the perseverance to interrupt his sleep and join the battle anytime and anywhere.
He summoned the officers of the scout cavalry team, asked a few simple questions, and then waved his subordinates to read the letter alone.
In the letter Zhuge Liang wrote for Guan Yu, the content of the persuasion was similar to what Zhuge Liang had imagined last night, but he added some emotion to discuss the details of his former loyalty.
For example, Guan Yu missed the battle with Qu Yi and fought side by side to fight against Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun and other rebels for the Han Dynasty. He also talked about how Guan Yu wiped out Zhang Ju's main force in the Battle of Yishui and seized Zhang Ju's spoils again and how he was righteous when sharing the spoils.
He gave Que Yi a lot, and at that time, Pan Feng, another official army commander, almost no distribution, but only some military rations. It can be seen that Guan Yu also respects famous generals who can truly fight and contribute to the country, and hopes that Que Yi will do his own.
"Bang!" Que slapped the table angrily, "Such a clumsy disagreement, I still want me to be an unfaithful and unrighteous person? Shameless villain, you misjudged the person!"
Tuo Yi stood up suddenly, considering whether to save the letter and hand it over to Yuan Shao to prove his innocence.
But when I thought about it, Yuan Shao was suspicious and indecisive, so he should not cause trouble.
He hesitated for a few seconds and called the confidant scout officer who picked up the arrow tonight, repeatedly asking if all the letters had been picked up and handed over.
Of course, the scout officer swears that he has not left all his letters and handed over, and that the soldiers can prove that no one has read the content.
Tuo Yi hesitated for a while and ordered the horse to be prepared quietly. He wanted to take a few personal guards to inspect and review the enemy's location designated by the scout officer. He was worried that most of the arrows would not be shot in the dark night. The arrows that fell into the cracks of the rocks on the ground, and might have escaped.
The other party copied so many letters with exactly the same content, and was obviously worried that he would not receive them. Since this was the case, there might be more missing.
Now it is almost five o'clock, and another update is getting brighter. Check it again, and it is not a short time to make a decision. If the existence of the letter may be leaked, then you should confess to Yuan Shao. If it is possible to ensure complete confidentiality, then you can burn it all.
Unfortunately, Que Yi didn't know that just when he was hesitating, Guan Yu had already brought more than half of his troops, making meals at the fourth hour, and set off after dinner, preparing to attack Zhang Liao at dawn.
Even if Tuo Yi checked the section of the village wall on the north side of Qinshui after dawn to ensure that there were no arrows from Zhuge Liang's messenger left behind, he could not make preparations in advance and set out in advance to rescue Zhang Liao.
At the fifth hour, Kuo Yi finally confirmed that all the letters were in his hands, and the traces of the enemy they encountered last night were completely cleaned up on the riverbank. He returned to the battalion and continued to ponder the details of the warning content in the letter, while considering whether the troops should enter a more advanced state of combat readiness.
However, halfway through Chen hour, several horses came to report interrupted his hesitation. It turned out that Zhang Liao sent an emergency messenger from thirty miles away:
"General Tuo please send reinforcements as soon as possible! When it was dawn this morning, Guan Yu actually attacked General Zhang's camp abnormally. The enemy army was more people than General Zhang's troops and more elite than General Zhang. Please ask General Tuo to reinforce immediately!"
Tuo Yi's heart was tight: So fast! It seems that those letters can only be burned! Otherwise, I would have been convinced that I had received warning from the enemy in advance but still did not prepare to save Zhang Liao!
Guan Yu was killed this day! The warning in the letter was true! He was sincere and only beat Zhang Liao but not him! And he just warned that he sent troops less than an hour!
This incident caused the yellow mud to fall into the crotch, either shit or shit.
