Chapter 115 Sanying invites to fight at Sishui Pass
Guan Yu narrowed his red eyes and asked for battle with a righteous face, and directly issued a military order.
After hearing what Yuan Shao said to his second brother, Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
With Brother Gongsun's harsh treatment of Wang Kuang just now and what Yuan Shao said, it can be said that he has gained both face and dignity.
What happened this time can be considered to be over.
However, in order to make things more secure, Liu Bei was still going to take advantage of his long arms and quietly stretched his left arm back, trying to hold his second brother's hand quietly as a reminder.
Let his second brother stop being impulsive and say other things that are embarrassing.
As a result, he had just stretched out his hand halfway, and before he had time to touch his second brother's hand, Guan Yu said these words of invitation to fight!
Moreover, he also spoke in a very precise manner, leaving no room for anything!
Liu Bei's half-stretched hand could not help but freeze in the air.
After doing this for a while, the hand slowly dropped down, looking very weak.
Just like his master, he has the same mentality of accepting his fate...
…
Guan Yu did not go to war immediately.
This is of course not because someone once again scolded Guan Yu, and then Gongsun Zan once again stood up and carried out a wave of tough fights.
It was not Liu Bei who came up with any good ideas to resolve this matter, but Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, made the arrangement.
At this moment, here at Sishui Pass, the successive defeats have finally awakened Yuan Shao.
Before, he only thought that he could mobilize so many soldiers and horses in one call, and with so many soldiers and horses in hand, he could quickly reach Luoyang and help the Han Dynasty.
However, now Liu Cheng and others are using practical actions to let Yuan Shao know that what he thinks is just what he thinks.
The large-scale battles he carried out by gathering some soldiers and horses in the past are completely different from the large-scale battles now!
Compared with now, the previous level of fighting was like children's playing house.
Faced with such a severe situation, Yuan Shao had to abandon some of his previous little thoughts.
Although no one was specially appointed to show Liu Bei, who was also the Queen of Zhongshan Prince Jing, he no longer had any resistance to Liu Bei because of this matter.
Otherwise, according to Yuan Shao's previous thoughts, if Guan Yu, his younger brother, dares to show up at this time, Yuan Shao will be very happy to comply with Guan Yu's wishes and lead the three brothers to the front of Sishui Pass without stopping.
Let Liu Cheng fight.
Sit and watch the two Prince Jing of Zhongshan catch each other and fight here.
"Yun Chang has great ambitions. I have written them down today. However, how to send out troops and how to send them out requires long-term planning and careful calculation. Otherwise, if we do it rashly, I am afraid that we will lose our troops and generals, which will in vain destroy our own prestige and enhance the ambition of others."
Once a charter is negotiated and troops are needed, I will be the first to think of Yunchang!"
Yuan Shao looked at Guan Yu and spoke seriously and sincerely.
After hearing what Yuan Shao said, Guan Yu nodded, accepting the matter and saying no more.
After such an interlude, the meeting continued.
Yuan Shao began to express his thoughts.
His idea is not to stick to Sishui Pass anymore.
Prepare to send troops and horses to bypass the Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass, and press directly on Luoyang!
After this idea was proposed, many questions emerged.
Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass are two of the most majestic passes in the world and can indeed be bypassed.
But there is a premise that you need to cross the Yellow River later, otherwise there will be no reason to go around it.
Dong Zhuo was a man who often used troops and was prepared for this.
There had been news before that Dong Zhuo had sent heavy troops to guard the famous ferry on the Menghuang River in order to guard against troops crossing the river from these places to attack Luoyang.
In addition, the soldiers and horses here at Sishui Pass cannot be ignored.
Liu Cheng, the guard here at Sishui Pass, has used his actions to explain to everyone present that he will not stay in Sishui Pass and not come out.
This troublesome guy must be guarded by troops and horses.
Not only do we need to be prepared for him to lead his troops out of Sishui Pass, but we also need to be prepared for him to send troops to support him after he gets the news that he and others will take a detour to Luoyang to attack...
There are also a series of things such as food and grass supply.
These things need to be considered carefully and solutions need to be found.
The rest of the things were relatively easy to solve, but crossing the Yellow River was the only issue that made things difficult for everyone.
After everyone discussed it that day, Yuan Shao issued an order for people to collect ships and build ships.
As for the ships, Dong Zhuo had already dispatched soldiers and horses before, plundered them, and moved them to the other side of the Yellow River. Some of them were burned directly. It would be difficult for them to find them now.
The production is also a bit slow.
What's more important is that the other side of the ferry is heavily guarded...
The problem of crossing the river suddenly became an extremely difficult problem, which troubled the people headed by Yuan Shao.
Even if Yuan Shao had enough resourceful people in his hands, there would still be nothing he could do when faced with a natural chasm like the Yellow River.
"It would be nice if it was colder today! If the entire river is sealed and covered with a thick layer of ice, all difficulties will be solved!
The natural chasm has become a smooth road, and we can go wherever we want!"
After discussing with a group of wise men under his command, but there was still no good solution, Yuan Shao walked out of the tent and felt that the weather outside was not too cold, and he couldn't help but sigh.
It's just that the weather is beyond his control.
Therefore, after having unrealistic fantasies here for a while, Yuan Shao shook his head and returned to the tent again...
I don’t know if it was because Yuan Shao had his mouth opened, or for some other reason. Not long after Yuan Shao returned to the camp, the wind started blowing.
At first, the wind was not strong, but after a while, it became violent and howling.
Some tents were blown over!
Many soldiers who were keeping watch at night could not bear the cold, and their noses were dripping with mucus.
Some of them were frozen into ice before I even had time to wipe them!
Yuan Shao was woken up twice by the cold at night.
Early the next morning, Yuan Shao couldn't wait to send his men to the Yellow River to check the situation. The news he received was that the entire Yellow River was sealed!
There are already people standing by the side!
If this cold weather continues for a while, the entire river will be walkable!
When Yuan Shao heard the news, he couldn't help but twirled his beard and laughed, and said one after another: "God is really helping me!"
…
Yuan Shao looked at the soldier in front of him who was so cold that his nose was dripping with snot, and his hair, eyebrows and beard were covered with a layer of white frost, and he smiled very happily!
Of course, I wasn’t amused by the soldier’s funny look, but because of the excellent news this soldier brought!
The Yellow River is frozen!
The Yellow River is really frozen!
Yesterday, I was still lamenting how great it would be if the weather got colder and the Yellow River was frozen.
Not long after the results were announced, the weather suddenly changed and it suddenly became cold. The entire Yellow River was frozen overnight!
Faced with such great news, how could Yuan Shao not be happy?
Yuan Shao was not the only one who was happy. Yesterday, Xu You, Guo Tu and others who were following Yuan Shao and heard Yuan Shao express his emotions were even more happy.
It's just that there is some surprise in their joy.
After all, Yuan Shaocai said those words near dusk yesterday, but after one night, the Yellow River was really frozen!
Such a magical thing happened in front of their eyes, how could they not be surprised by it?
"Congratulations, Alliance Leader! Congratulations, Alliance Leader! We will definitely defeat Dong Zhuo this time, succeed in one battle, and help the Han Dynasty!"
Guo Tu suppressed his surprise and immediately congratulated Yuan Shao.
"This battle has not yet been fought, and the troops and horses have not yet been mobilized. Isn't it a little early for you to congratulate me now, Gongze?"
Yuan Shao stopped the smile on his face and looked at Guo Tu.
Guo Tu said with a smile: "The most important part of the strategy previously made by the alliance leader is also the most difficult to solve, which is how to cross the Yellow River and bypass the Sishui Pass.
Now the sky has suddenly changed and the Yellow River is frozen. If we continue, it won't take too long before we can surpass others. This is equivalent to solving the most difficult part of the strategy!
The natural danger of the Yellow River is not there. Our soldiers and horses are heading to Luoyang. They can cross the river wherever they want. We can completely bypass Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses on the other side of the river. The initiative lies with me.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that yesterday I heard with my own ears the leader of the alliance lamenting why the river was not frozen.
As a result, as soon as the alliance leader finished speaking, the sky began to change.
The river froze overnight. Wouldn't this be God's help to the leader of the alliance?
Make the leader successful?
God's will is like this. It can be seen that Dong Zhuo's actions have already caused the anger of God and people. The leader of the alliance raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo. The will of Heaven and the wishes of mankind. How can this battle be invincible?"
When Yuan Shaowen heard Guo Tu's words, he couldn't hold back the smile on his face.
Xu You, who was standing next to him, glanced at Guo Tu and moved his mouth slightly, but did not make a sound to retaliate against Guo Tu.
But after waiting for a while, he said: "At first, only we people know about this matter. I think we should inform the whole army. Firstly, it can boost morale and boost the morale of the army. Secondly, it can..."
Xu You said this without going any further, but the meaning was already very obvious.
That is, by publicizing this matter, we can also add some mystery to Yuan Benchu, the world's model, and further enhance Yuan Shao's prestige.
When Yuan Shao heard Xu You say this, the smile on his face became a little brighter.
Yuan Shao, who has already experienced the benefits of gaining reputation and cultivating popularity, likes to do it the most.
"It is very important for you to do this to boost morale and make the soldiers more confident!"
Yuan Shao explained this to Xu You without mentioning anything about gaining reputation.
Just talk about boosting morale.
It was as if he didn't hear Xu You's unfinished words at all, or he didn't understand Xu You's meaning.
Xu You nodded and accepted the matter, then couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Guo Tu beside him.
Guo Tu just smiled and didn't say anything.
Yuan Shao stood here and felt the cold for a while. After discussing some matters with his counselors, he wiped his cold nose with silk silk, then rubbed his red nose with his hands, and returned quickly.
The big tent soon summoned the princes again to discuss matters.
It was said to be a discussion, but in fact, Yuan Shao had already discussed it with his advisers before.
At this time, it is about speaking out what has been decided and arranging tasks for everyone.
"Where is Guan Yunchang?"
After everyone came here, Yuan Shao didn't do anything else but took the lead in calling Guan Yu's name!
"The end is here!"
Behind Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, a man of extraordinary magnanimity, responded to the call, came outside, and raised his hand to Yuan Shao.
"Yun Chang, two days ago you were going to ask for a fight, go to Bishui Pass to fight and kill the traitor Liu Cheng. At that time, the time had not come yet, so I couldn't agree. I just said that the time was right, and let Yunchang go to fight first.
.
Now that the time has come and the war is about to begin, will Bu Yun Chang still have the heroic spirit of that day?"
Yuan Shao looked at Guan Yu and said this.
"My blood is still warm, General Mo! Of course I'm willing to go!"
Guan Yu patted his chest with his hand and responded without any hesitation!
"good!"
Yuan Shao couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and shouted "Hello", his voice couldn't help but become louder.
"You will lead the troops to Sishui Pass this time..."
Yuan Shao began to make arrangements for Guan Yu's military affairs.
As soon as the words started, they stopped.
Because Liu Bei and Zhang Fei who were standing behind Gongsun Zan, at this time, they all walked out from behind Gongsun Zan, one on the left and the other on the right, and came to Guan Yu's side, saluting Yuan Shao in unison.
"My three brothers have been fighting enemies together since we became sworn brothers. Now we are fighting for the country and will go to Bishui Pass to fight. Naturally, we cannot let my second brother Yun Chang go alone without two of my brothers!
Please also ask the leader of the alliance to order me to be sent to Sishui Pass to fight against the thieves with my second brother!"
After Liu Bei saluted Yuan Shao, he issued a denunciation order to Yuan Shao.
"Okay! Xuande, you are true righteous men!
Then the three of you will lead the troops to Sishui Pass and fight with the thieves!"
Yuan Shao naturally had no reason to refuse.
After all, after the series of fights before, that damn Liu Cheng has completely established his reputation.
Many people were somewhat discouraged by the prospect of facing the battle at Sishui Pass.
Moreover, the main function of the soldiers and horses here at Sishui Pass this time is to attract Liu Cheng's soldiers and horses. The real killing move is to attack the Luoyang soldiers and horses who go to sneak attack.
In other words, if you have established some achievements, these soldiers and horses will also build more.
Staying here to contain the soldiers and horses at Sishui Pass is a bit thankless, and many people are reluctant to do this.
At this time, Liu Bei took the initiative to follow Guan Yu and asked his third brother to go to the battle together. Of course, Yuan Shao would happily agree.
Of course, another important reason is that the relationship between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan is very good!
