Guan Yu was wearing armor and a green war robe. He pressed the hilt of his sword and looked disdainfully at the thieves outside the city. He sneered and said, "What kind of conspiracy can there be? The thieves come in small numbers for nothing more than for the sake of killing."

To lure the enemy, there will be an ambush outside the city. As long as I lead the troops to fight, they will retreat, lure me to pursue them, and then ambush them and kill them. Such a clumsy plan is not a conspiracy."

If Lu Bu brought a thousand men to call for battle, Guan Yu would definitely not think so, but these were the thieves led by Guan Hai, and they were thieves who had been defeated before. Guan Hai was not here, so he lent them a hundred

How dare these thousand people dare not actually come to the city to start a fight.

Guan Yu has been following Liu Bei for so many years, fought so many battles, and often reads the Spring and Autumn Annals. This conspiracy can certainly be seen.

Wang Xiu nodded and said: "Guan Sima is right. This is to lure the enemy. We must not fall into the trap."

Mi Zhu said worriedly: "But my lord only has two thousand soldiers and horses. Guan Hai will definitely lead his troops to stop him. Zhou Military Advisor and Zhang Sima are not here, so we have to save him!"

Guan Yu gently stroked his long beard, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Zizhong, Shuzhi, you gather the people in the city and defend the city together with the county officials. I will lead a thousand soldiers out to assist my brother."

Mi Zhu is the county magistrate, Wang Xiu is the county magistrate, and the county officials now obey their orders.

Wang Xiu said anxiously: "But there is an ambush outside the city..."

"It doesn't matter. Now that I know there is an ambush, how can I get into their ambush? Don't worry, I have my own strategy."

Guan Yu seemed confident.

Wang Xiu wanted to say something else, but Mi Zhu hurriedly stopped him and said: "Yun Chang is right, the Lord must be rescued. Since we know that Guan Hai has set up an ambush, Yun Chang has his own countermeasures, so we don't need to worry."<

/p>

In fact, Mi Zhu understands Guan Yu's character and knows that his military strength is not inferior to Zhang Fei's, and he is more resourceful than Zhang Fei, so he should have no problem dealing with these thieves.

Mi Zhu also knew that Guan Yu was arrogant and concerned about face, and he was afraid that Wang Xiu would say something slight to him, which would be bad.

Wang Xiu had no choice but to say: "In this case, Guan Sima can take all the 1,300 soldiers in the city. With the Prime Minister of Mi County and me in the city, nothing will happen."

"No, three hundred soldiers are left to defend the city. I can take one thousand people with me!"

After Guan Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left, went down to the city gate tower, ordered a thousand soldiers and horses, and ordered the city gate to be opened.

He held a broadsword in his hand and went out first, followed by a thousand soldiers and horses, and went out of the city.

Those thieves who were shouting and cursing just now saw Guan Yu leading his troops out of the city. As expected, someone shouted: "Quickly retreat."

All the thieves turned around and ran away, turning back and continuing to yell and curse.

Guan Yu was not angry and ordered the soldiers to follow him closely.

He patted his horse and walked slowly. Although he was chasing the thief, he was not in a hurry.

The fleeing thieves started to run very fast, but when they looked back and saw Guan Yu slowly following, they were confused.

Guan Yu walks so slowly, is he chasing him or not?

They had no choice but to stop and walk slowly, always keeping a distance of two to three hundred steps from Guan Yu's soldiers and horses, fearing that they would run too fast and Guan Yu's soldiers and horses would not be able to catch up.

After Guan Yu left the city, he sent dozens of scouts, divided into two teams, to search and advance from both sides of the road. He wanted to find the ambush of the thieves and wipe out the ambush first to eliminate any worries.

At this time, thirty miles away from Huang County, Liu Bei ordered to build a fort and set up camp.

He had already learned that Guan Hai led his troops to attack Huang County.

I originally thought of walking faster and closer to the city, so that if Guan Hai attacks, I can attack from both sides with Guan Yu.

The scouts reported back that Guan Hai and his men wanted to attack, but this place was still thirty miles away from the city, so it was difficult to form a pincer attack with Guan Yu.

He led only 2,000 soldiers and horses, of which 1,000 were newly recruited thieves. Guan Hai's army was several times larger than his own, so he did not dare to go any further, so he ordered to build forts and set up camp in order to occupy the area.

Stand guard and wait for Zhou Xing and Zhang Fei to lead their troops to help.

The scout reported again, saying that Guan Hai and his men were only ten miles away from the camp and would attack it soon.

Liu Bei seemed very calm. Although Guan Hai had many thieves, and if he encountered them on the road, he did not dare to say that he would win, but now that he was defending the camp, Guan Hai would not be able to break through his camp.

He has fought against strong soldiers such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu. These thieves in Guan Hai are nothing at all.

Even Jian Yong, Li Ye, Liu Zheng and others around him were very calm, not afraid of the attacks of these thieves.

Liu Bei's only worry now is Guan Yu.

With Guan Yu's character, if he knew he was being attacked by thieves, he would definitely lead his troops to rescue him.

However, there are only a thousand soldiers and horses left in the city, and there are many thieves. Guan Yu is also arrogant and may underestimate the enemy. Liu Bei is worried that he will be outnumbered.

Liu Bei sent out scouts, but the highway was full of thieves. He was definitely not allowed to ride on the main road, so he could only walk around the small road to the city. He hoped to arrive in time and persuaded Guan Yu to defend the city and not leave. Anyway, he had built a fort now, so he could not go out.

Something will happen.

At the same time, people were sent to notify Zhou Xing and Zhang Fei, asking them to quickly lead troops back to support.

Guan Hai rode a horse and carried a sword, leading four thousand troops on the road. The people sent to investigate reported back that Liu Bei had built a fort and was not going forward.

This puts Guan Hai in a bit of trouble.

Although Liu Bei only had two thousand soldiers and horses, he built a camp and defended it. It would not be easy for people like him to break through his camp.

"Qu Shuai, what should we do? Are we going to attack the camp?" asked the leader next to him.

Guan Hai looked back at the tribesmen behind him and said helplessly: "What are we using to attack the camp? See for yourself, how many spears, halberds and crossbows do we have? We only have such a few decent weapons, how can we do it?"

To attack the camp?"

Indeed, as he said, the weapons in the hands of his tribe were mostly short-handled swords, not many spears, halberds and crossbows. There were no long-range attack weapons, so it was difficult to attack the camp.

"What should we do?" the leader asked.

Guan Hai thought for a moment and said: "Wait and see if the red-faced general in the city will go to war. If he leads the troops to fight and falls into the trap and chases him, we will go back and kill him first, and then concentrate our troops to deal with Liu Bei.

.As long as Guan Yu dies, Liu Bei will be afraid. I heard that he has recruited many brothers from Wang Ying and Cong Qian as soldiers. When the time comes, he will persuade them to rebel. We should cooperate internally and externally. Hahaha, Liu Bei's head will definitely hang on my sword!

”

He ordered all his troops to stop and wait for news.

Soon, someone rushed to report: "Commander Qu, Guan Yu really led the troops to fight, and as Commander Qu expected, he led the troops to pursue him, but..."

Guan Hai was overjoyed when he heard that Guan Yu was leading his troops to fight and was chasing after him. He paused when he heard his subordinates say it was just, and couldn't help asking anxiously: "What is it?"

"It's just that Guan Yu chased very slowly, just like a normal march, not like chasing the enemy."

"How could such a thing happen? Did our people run too fast for Guan Yu to catch up?"

"No, our people saw Guan Yu walking slowly, and they walked slowly too. They kept letting Guan Yu see them, but Guan Yu didn't seem to be in a hurry at all."

"Weird thing, weird thing... not good," Guan Hai suddenly shouted, "Guan Yu must be suspecting that we have an ambush, that's why we are walking so slowly. If he finds the ambush..."

"Quick, let's go back, hurry up!"
