Yuan Shao sighed and said: "I also know that it is good to do this, but I am in a trance in my heart, I am afraid that this trip will not be good, so it is better to suspend the matter of the strange soldiers." ”Frustrated, he hurriedly asked: "What is the lord in a trance?"
"You don't know, among my sons, only this youngest son is the most like me, but now he is sick, if there is any negligence, I have no intention of living, you don't want to persuade me, it's not your child who is sick, you won't experience this heartache." ”Then he said to Sun Qian below: "You can tell Xuande truthfully when you go back, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me, and I will naturally accept and help you with all my might." ”After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he ignored everyone and waved his hand away, causing the three of them to look at each other.Looking at Yuan Shao's distant back, he knew that it would be difficult to persuade him to change his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly and said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it should be lost because the child is sick, and it is really heart-wrenching." ”Seeing that he couldn't get help, Sun Qian had to rush back to Xiaopei overnight and told Liu Bei about it, Liu Bei was taken aback when he heard it, and couldn't help but regret the signing of the edict with clothes, and hurriedly asked left and right, "Everyone think of a way, now that Cao's army is about to come to the city, what should we do." ”Zhang Fei, who has always been known for his irascible personality, changed his fiery temper in the past, and said calmly to Liu Bei: "Big brother, don't worry, Cao Cao must have come all the way this time because of the lack of people and horses, so we will carry out a surprise attack on the night of his attack and intercept his camp, which will definitely defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop." ”Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder and said: "I always thought that the third brother was just a reckless man, but I didn't expect that the third brother still had a brain, and he also offered me the strategy of the art of war, which is really gratifying, so I followed your plan and intercepted Cao's camp in the middle of the night." ”Unexpectedly, Mao Jue in Cao's tent had already expected that someone would come to rob the camp at night, and he would make every effort to deploy all defenses.That night, Liu Bei led the left army and Zhang Fei was in charge of the right army, and the troops marched into Cao Cao's camp in two ways, leaving only Sun Qian and a small number of troops to guard Xiaopei.Zhang Fei thought that his clever plan had succeeded, and led hundreds of light horsemen to gallop all the way, and just broke into the Cao army camp, he saw that the military tent was scattered and scattered, and there were not many men and horses.Just when Zhang Fei was puzzled, suddenly there were flames all around, and the sound of killing shook the sky, Zhang Fei knew that he had fallen against the other party's strategy, and hurriedly retreated, but he didn't want countless Cao troops to appear around.Zhang Liao in the east, Xu Chu in the west, Yu Ban in the south, Li Dian in the north, Xu Huang in the southeast, Lejin in the southwest, Xiahoudun in the northeast, and Xiahou Yuan in the northwest.Zhang Fei rushed left and right, killing back and forth for several rounds but failed to break out, and the soldiers he led were originally Cao Cao's old subordinates, and when they saw that the general trend had gone, they threw down their weapons and surrendered.Cao Cao's general Xu Huang saw that one of the thieves was a fierce general rushing left and right, and suddenly became interested, waving the weapon in his hand to meet him, not wanting to have a draw with the other party, regardless of the winner or loser, only to see clearly that the other party was Liu Bei's sworn brother Zhang Fei by the surrounding firelight.Xu Huang's fighting spirit suddenly soared, and he was just about to fight hard, when Le Jin in the southwest arrived, Zhang Fei saw the situation and hurriedly got rid of Xu Huang and led more than ten cavalry to kill a bloody road, broke through the siege, and prepared to return to Xiaopei and Sun Qian's troops to wait, but the way back had already been blocked by Cao Cao, so he had to go to the nearby mountains to escape.Zhang Fei lost, Liu Bei was no better, Liu Bei with thousands of troops before he approached the Cao army's camp tent, he heard a killing sound behind him, rushed out of countless Cao troops and instantly killed half of his own troops.Seeing this, Liu Bei knew that he was not an opponent, so he quickly turned around and fled, but he didn't want Cao Cao's other tiger general Xiahou Yuan to take a team of men and horses to intercept him.In order to escape, Liu Bei disregarded his face, and under the desperate protection of many soldiers, he led more than 30 people to finally escape, ready to return to Xiaopei, but saw that Xiaopei City was also full of fires, and knew that the city had been lost.had to give up Xiaopei and go to Xuzhou and Xiapi, but found that the troops of Cao's army had already been subordinated all over the mountains and fields, and they could not break through at all, so they had to flee in the direction of Jizhou.Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Li Dian, the general of the Cao army, and the remaining thirty people resisted desperately, Liu Bei also fled, regardless of the direction of the escape, galloped all the way, almost ran to the horse, and came to the boundary of Qingzhou.When he arrived at the gate of Qingzhou City, he told the doorman his name, and the doorman relayed the history of the assassination, which was Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan.Yuan Tan has always admired Liu Bei, and while writing a letter to his father Yuan Shao, he sent someone to escort Liu Bei to the border of the plains, and Yuan Tan personally went out of the city to greet him.Cao Cao seized many cities around Xuzhou in a row, and even Liu Bei and Zhang Fei fled with headshots, and the rest of the people either fled or defected, but Liu Bei's sworn brother Guan Yu Guan Yunchang swore to guard Xiapi to protect Liu Bei's wife and children.After Cao Cao's army entered Xuzhou City, so as not to appease the people, while summoning all the strategists to discuss taking down Pi, Xun You said: "Now that Zhang Fei is defeated, Liu Bei has switched to Yuan Shao, but Guan Yunchang swears to protect Pi to the death, if he does not capture it quickly, I am afraid that Yuan Shao's arrival will be unfavorable to our army." ”Cao Cao shook his head and said, "I have always liked Guan Yunchang's martial arts, and I want to subdue it for my own use, so it is better to send someone to collect it." ”Suddenly, a person under the tent stepped forward and said: "Prime Minister, I have a friendship with Guan Yu, and I have been rescued by Guan Yu before, and I am willing to persuade Guan Yu this time." ”When Cao Cao saw it, it turned out to be Zhang Liao.Cheng Yu on the side also stood up and said: "General Zhang Liao and Guan Yu are old acquaintances, but according to the ministers, Guan Yu has always been arrogant, and it is not easy to convince Guan Yu.Besides, Guan Yu has an enemy of 10,000 people, and his leading generals will defend Xiapi, just like a husband when Guan Wanfu can't open the momentum, non-resourcefulness can not be taken, I have a strategy to make Guan Yu have no way out, when the time comes, General Zhang Liao will go to persuade him, and the big thing can be done. ”Driven by Cheng Yu's arrangement, a small number of sergeants who were originally taken away by Liu Bei from Xudu pretended to flee in embarrassment and went to Xiapi to meet Guan Yu, and told Guan Yu that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei led the army to raid Cao Ying, and the whole army was wiped out, and the two main generals did not know what to do, which made Guan Yu's army shake.Early in the morning of the second day, Xiahoudun led 5,000 elite soldiers to call for battle, Guan Yu closed the door and did not come out, Xiahoudun found hundreds of soldiers to scold under the city gate.Almost finished greeting Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei, even the poultry raised at home could not escape the doom, when did the arrogant Guan Yu receive such an insult, he couldn't help but be angry and led three thousand people and horses, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and going out of the city to fight with Xiahou Xuan.Under Cao Cao's order, Xiahoudun couldn't use all his strength to fight him, so he could only retreat while fighting, always keeping a distance from Guan Yu, and soon deceived Guan Yu out of Xiapi City, dozens of miles away, Guan Yu came to his senses, worried that Xiapi would be lost, and hurriedly led his troops back, but he didn't want to rush out of the two teams behind him.Guan Yu couldn't help but be shocked, and looked at it, Xu Huang on the left and Xu Chu on the right, and the two armies led thousands of people to completely block Guan Yu's back road.Guan Yu wanted to rush out of the side to kill a bloody road, but he didn't want to have archers already buried on both sides, and the hundred crossbows and strong bows were sent out together like flying locusts, and most of the three thousand men and horses led by Guan Yu were quickly consumed, so they had to continue to retreat with a few people.Taking advantage of Guan Yu's downfall, Xu Huang and Xu Chu took turns to lead troops to fight Guan Yu, which made Guan Yu's physical strength and strength depleted quickly.Finally killed the two of them back, Xiahoudun came to intercept again, and was so that Guan Yu and the generals were unable to fight until the evening, and led the troops to live on a small hill, just rested for a few minutes, and the Cao army surrounded the mountain with thousands of men and horses.Taking advantage of some respite, Guan Yu couldn't help but look at Xiapi City in the distance, only to see the fire in the city, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was Cao's army that attacked the city, deliberately creating a raging fire to disrupt Guan Yu's fighting spirit.Guan Yu looked at the firelight city, and was sad in his heart, but he was blocked by random arrows several times, and finally stayed up until dawn and was ready to rush to kill again, but saw that Yicao rushed over single-handedly, Guan Yu narrowed his Danfeng eyes and saw that the other party turned out to be Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.Looking at the other party, Guan Yu greeted him with a big knife in his hand, and said coldly: "Wen Yuanmo doesn't want to fight with Guan Mou. ”Zhang Liao saw Guan Yu's big knife pointing at him, and hurriedly said: "Yun Chang doesn't need to be so alarmed, I, Zhang Liao, have been kind to you before, how dare I confront you this time, I am here to seek a way for you to survive." ”"Hmph, don't you want me to surrender and survive than this, I'm willing to die on the battlefield."
After Guan Yu finished speaking, he put on a righteous attitude and approached Zhang Liao, and his words instantly revealed Zhang Liao's intention to come this time, making Zhang Liao's face turn red and at a loss."
Brother Yun, don't be so angry, last night my lord had already invaded Xiapi City, and none of the soldiers and civilians were harmed, even your eldest brother Liu Bei's family was guarded by people, and they were not allowed to be disturbed by anyone.And Liu Bei doesn't know life and death, and your third brother Zhang Fei is nowhere to be found, if you insist on seeking death, then what about your eldest brother and third brother, you are responsible for taking care of Liu Bei's wife and family, what should they do if you die, I came to tell you the news this time, I hope you will consider it carefully. ”After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he noticed that Guan Yu's face had improved slightly, and his mood seemed to have stabilized.Halfway through, Guan Yu spoke: "Since this is the case, then I have three things that the prime minister needs to agree to, otherwise Guan would rather die than surrender." ”As soon as Zhang Liao heard that there was a play, he immediately said: "The prime minister has always been magnanimous, if Yun Chang has any requests, just bring it, I am willing to go and convey it in front of the prime minister for you." ”:
