I don’t know whether the inertia of history is too strong, or whether Guan Yu and Xiangyang have some inextricable entanglement like Bai Suzhen and Leifeng Pagoda. Sooner or later, they must end up like this.
In the original history, Guan Yu was also holding back his energy to attack Cao Cao's Xiangyang, even when his military strength was at a disadvantage. As a result, he fought a classic battle that will be famous throughout the ages, "flooding the seven armies", and Cao Cao was forced to prepare to move the capital.
In order to avoid Guan Yu's military attack, Guan Yu's reputation reached its peak.
Unexpectedly, when Xiangyang was just around the corner, Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty betrayed the alliance again. Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes, and Sun Quan led the army as backup. Mi Fang and Fu Shiren surrendered, Nanjun was lost, and the retreat was cut off. This completely changed the situation of the Three Kingdoms.
The battle was in vain, Jingzhou was lost, and Guan Yu was defeated in Maicheng and died.
Now Guan Yu has set his sights on Xiangyang again, and he doesn't know if it is God's will that Guan Yu is destined to complete his unfinished business.
It was not too easy to win a mere Wu County. Guan Yu was not surprised by this, and Jia Xu and others did not think there was any problem.
After taking over Wu County, Guan Yu became a hands-off boss again. The task of handling post-war affairs was directly handed over to Jia Xu, while he was responsible for reorganizing his troops and aiming at the next city of Badong.
In fact, until now, Jia Xu "simply" thought that Guan Yu's goal was simply Nanjun, but the facts proved that Jia Xu was still "too young."
Following Guan Yu's footsteps, he defeated Badong and Zigui in three days and set his sights on Yiling. At this moment, the messenger sent by Guan Yu to Wancheng had also met Zhang Xiu and Zhang He.
After sending the dusty messenger away, Zhang Xiu and Zhang He sat facing each other and smiled bitterly, silent for a while.
I really don't know what to say.
Speaking of which, Guan Yu does not have the right to give orders to the two of them, even if he is Liu Bei's sworn brother. Today is different from the past. The political system designated by Wang Xuan is complicated and strict, and is interlocking. It is no longer the binary system of the Han Dynasty.
After the monarchy was established, Guan Yu, the general who conquered the east, no longer had the right to open a palace or build a palace, nor did he have the right to mobilize the border guards like them.
If it was just a small matter, it would be fine, but sending troops to Jingzhou completely went against the original military plan to capture Shuzhong. This was indeed a bit overwhelming. No matter what the final result was, both of them had to be responsible.
But Guan Yu?
That definitely won't work. Again, Guan Yu is Liu Bei's sworn brother. Liu Bei is the most affectionate person. With their senses, Liu Bei will do anything for these two brothers. If the two of them are left alone
Regardless, one bad move will offend Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and well... maybe Wang Xuan too.
Who can bear this!
After all, both of them are demoted generals, so they inevitably have a lot of worries when thinking about problems.
After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu finally looked at Zhang He with a troubled face, "I'm already confused. It's better for Jun Yi to make the decision. I support you."
Zhang Xiu is a famously tangled personality who often suffers from difficulty in making choices. Historically, he surrendered, became a villain, and then surrendered again... At the moment, Zhang He was the only one around him who could talk to him, so he did not hesitate to pass the blame.
Zhang He opened his mouth and looked at Zhang Xiu blankly. He felt so uncomfortable holding in his heart the words "MMP".
Faced with such a big pot, Zhang He has no blood moves, and Zhang Xiu's character has been known to him for so long, and presumably others also know it, so no matter what, the pot will be put on his head.
I never expected that someone could take advantage of someone just because of their lack of decision-making. How can this be justified?
"Send troops!" Zhang He said with a ferocious look on his face and slapped the table hard.
"Really!?" Zhang Xiu regretted it again.
Zhang He:╰(‵□′)╯
Seeing that Zhang He was about to lose his temper, Zhang Xiu immediately gave up and said quickly: "Okay, everything will be according to Jun Yi."
Zhang He:_(′?`‖∠)_
The god listened to me no matter what I said. Zhang He felt his veins bulging and his face became more and more ugly. Zhang Xiu also knew what was wrong with him, so he quickly laughed and said, "I'll go get ready right now."
After saying that, he ran away without looking back.
Zhang He sighed. He was convinced by such a general in the stall. Of course, it was not without its benefits. Zhang Xiu had a really good temper and was kind to others. He never had any airs. Speaking of which, Zhang He still liked to cook for Zhang Xiu. Deputy's.
…
In Bodao County, Wang Xuan was a little puzzled when he saw the dusty Gan Ning again after three days. He looked up and down and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, could this Gan Ning be addicted to being a messenger? He has completely become a Tool man?
"Are you addicted?" Wang Xuan is such a straightforward person, someone who doesn't like to hide his thoughts.
Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, blinked a few times and almost choked to death after blinking his eyes a few times, "I... am indeed addicted!"
What could he do? He was also desperate. Jia Xu couldn't persuade Guan Yu, so a letter was sent directly to him at great speed, with Xiahou Dun in between. Who else could deliver the letter to Wang Xuan except him personally? Who can bear the responsibility for such a delay?
After learning about Guan Yu's idea of sending troops to Jingzhou, Gan Ning couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he was the only one stupid and bold, Guan Yu was so brave!
Regardless of Biao Biao, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and rushed to Wang Xuan again overnight.
"Okay!" Wang Xuan patted Gan Ning's shoulder, as if he already understood, "I will leave the communication task to you from now on!"
"No problem, even if the Imperial Master orders me, I, Gan Ning, will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Who else can I hand it over to? Gan Ning knew this before he came. He must go back to find out the reason why Guan Yu ordered it. It's also very simple. The battle of Jingzhou has begun and things are irreversible. Even Wang Xuan can only hold his nose and admit it. And Jingzhou is full of rivers, how can it be possible to get the navy?
Seeing that Gan Ning agreed so simply, Wang Xuan was obviously stunned. He still didn't know what Gan Ning's temper was. There was obviously something going on here. Thinking of this, his expression became solemn and he asked in a deep voice: "What happened."
"So so... so so..." Gan Ning poured out the news he had received.
"Pa." Wang Xuan slapped his forehead. It was not surprising that the two of them had not thought of Guan Yu's plan, but who was Wang Xuan? Did he not know that the "seven flooded armies" that had been praised throughout the ages defeated Maicheng? After sketching it out, I thought of Guan Yu's plan, and it must be Xiangyang.
Once Xiangyang is reached, the entire Jingzhou will no longer be in danger.
With Guan Yu's character, he likes to play one-hit fatal tricks the most. Regardless of the fact that he wants to take over Nanjun, but in fact, Wang Xuan is a million sure that Guan Yu's goal must be Xiangyang City.
