Liu Bei returned from the military camp, looking tired.
He has been under a lot of pressure these days!
First, Xu Yi led his troops of 3,000 troops, marched from Duyang, and moved to Zhongyang Mountain; on the same day, Dianman led his troops of 3,000 infantry, marched from Pheasant County, and arrived at Wuyin.
That is to say, after the two men set off, Wei Yan immediately entered Duyang.
The speed was astonishing, giving Liu Bei no chance to react. While stationing in Duyang, Wei Yan ordered his general Feng Xi to seize the Hengshan Trail. This Hengshan is not one of the Five Mountains, but a mountain in Nanyang County.
Qiu is also the source of Fengshui. Its geographical location is quite similar to the street pavilion in history. Feng Xi was ordered to set up camp near the mountain. In this way, the soldiers and horses of Duyang can be combined into one.
If you retreat, you can quickly return to Ye County. If Pheasant County is attacked, you can quickly rush to rescue.
If Liu Bei's troops want to attack Hengshan, Feng Xi only needs to rely on the terrain to hold on.
As long as Liu Bei cannot capture it quickly, he will have to face Wei Yan's flank attack...
To be honest, Liu Bei didn't think much of Wei Yan at first. But Wei Yan's arrangement of camping close to the mountain made Liu Bei look at him with admiration.
I always thought that Wei Yan was a strong soldier.
But now it seems that this person is clearly a wise general.
This camp on the mountain really made Liu Bei feel uncomfortable. He had originally intended to take advantage of the opportunity to attack, but when he saw this situation, he suddenly lost his mind.
To capture the Hengshan Trail, at least 30,000 troops must be invested.
If the battle cannot be resolved quickly, then one's own retreat will inevitably be cut off by Cao's army.
This kind of thing is not what Liu Bei is willing to accept.
Wei Yan!
Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a headache.
Why do Cao Cao have so many talented people?
When he was in Xudu, Liu Bei envied the countless talented people under Cao Cao's command. Among the literary ones were Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Cheng Yumanchong and others; in the military, there were Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xu Huanglejin and others... not to mention
, Na Dianwei and Xu Chu were brave and invincible.
However, as Liu Bei began to gain more wings and gathered many talents under his command, his envy towards Cao Cao became less and less. Unexpectedly, after he captured Wancheng this time, Cao Cao ignored him at all.
.Only sent Cao Peng and used a copy of Nanyang Pravda, which gave Liu Bei a headache. Now, another Wei Yan has come out. Judging from his formation, he is also a capable guy. Why before,
Didn't you pay attention? If you had known that this person had such abilities, you could have tried to recruit him to surrender.
However, although Wei Yan gave Liu Bei a headache, it was not something to be afraid of.
What made him feel most uncomfortable was Cao Peng's mobilization of troops this time...
The code is full and Xu Yi is a reckless man, so there is nothing to worry about.
But what does their transfer mean? Liu Bei had to feel worried. Cao Peng mobilized these two men to station in Wuyin, which increased the number of Wuyin troops to more than 10,000. Could it be said that Cao Peng wanted to use troops? No
Possibly... Previously, Cao Peng had vowed in the Nanyang Pravda to maintain a stable situation in Nanyang. By mobilizing troops, wouldn't he be breaking his promise?
Isn't he afraid that he offended Nanyang's powerful men?
Liu Bei felt that Cao Peng would not send troops easily.
At least, he will definitely not act rashly until he finds a suitable reason.
But who can explain Cao Peng's intention of mobilizing troops and horses? If he said this was just an ordinary mobilization of troops and horses, Liu Bei would not believe it...
The situation in Nanyang is very delicate. It can be said that one move affects the whole body.
Cao Peng is not a person who does not know the importance of things. Isn't he afraid of causing misunderstandings to others?
There is something weird here!
Liu Bei thought hard and couldn't think of a reason.
In desperation, he could only order to step up the preparation of troops and horses. At the same time, he also wanted to find an excuse to test Cao Peng to see what Cao Peng was up to.
Just when Liu Bei was about to return to his room to rest, he suddenly saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei approaching.
Guan Yu's eyes were red and there was a trace of sadness on his face.
When he saw Liu Bei, he didn't say anything. He only took three steps and two steps at a time, and knelt down in front of Liu Bei with a plop, which really shocked Liu Bei.
"Yun Chang, why is this so?"
"Brother... Anguo, he... he, he, he... is dead."
Liu Bei felt a buzzing sound in his head and was stunned for a moment.
Anguo is the epitome of Guanxing.
This title was given by Liu Bei at the beginning of the year, hoping that Guan Xing would grow up and become a pillar of the country. Is Guan Xing dead?
Liu Bei couldn't believe his ears and couldn't react for a long time.
Of course he knew how much effort and expectations Guan Yu had put into Guan Xing. Due to his age, Guan Ping was unable to reach Guan Yu's level. Therefore, Guan Yu taught Guan Xing from the beginning, and it can be said that he devoted all his efforts. Liu Bei
He also had a very good impression of Guan Xing. He once lamented to Guan Yu privately: If I have a daughter, I will definitely let Guan Xing be my son-in-law in the future...
But now, Guan Xing is dead?
"An Guo, why did you die?
He was not nice before, but when he came to Wancheng a few days ago, he even greeted me."
"Brother, Anguo was harmed by Cao Cao."
"ah?"
"He was patrolling Nanjiu Ferry today, and he did not intend to conflict with the other party. As a result, some villains among Cao's troops fired cold arrows. An Guo was caught off guard and was killed by the cold arrow. Brother, the second brother had high hopes for An Guo. Now he is being killed.
Cao Jun lost his life, so I asked my brother to send troops to avenge Anguo."
Zhang Fei roared sadly.
Guan Yu raised his head, looked at Liu Bei and said: "Brother, I know that the situation is critical now and you cannot raise troops without authorization.
I don’t want to embarrass my brother, but I beg him to give me an army. I will definitely wash Jiyang with blood and avenge Anguo. At this time, it has nothing to do with my brother. I will shoulder the consequences of the consequences. Come here today.
, I just hope that brother will not stop me from avenging Anguo."
Guan Yu's words were so true that Liu Bei couldn't help but be moved.
He grabbed Guan Yu's arm and said, "Yun Chang, you get up first."
Guan Yu stood up slowly, while Zhang Fei opened his eyes wide and roared angrily: "Brother, I am willing to help my second brother to take the head of the thief Cao."
"Yun Chang, Yide!"
Liu Bei took a deep breath, looked at the two of them, and said in a deep voice after a while: "You and I have known each other since we were young, and we started as Piaoping... It has been twenty-three years since the first year of Zhongping, and we are like brothers. Although Anguo
He is not my own son, but he is better than his own son. You want to avenge Anguo, how can I stop you? Twenty-three years of friendship, how can this mere future be comparable? With those words you just said, who do you think I am, Liu Bei?
?Isn't it just to raise troops? It's amazing that we brothers can start over... I'm not afraid of anything.
Besides, even if this didn't happen, that little thief Cao Peng would still find excuses to confront me.
Sooner or later, there will be a confrontation. In this case, why should I tell the truth... If Cao Peng wants to fight, then I, Liu Bei, will compete with him.
Who will win the victory is yet to be determined."
