Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 208 Xue Rengui's small battle with Guan Yu

When Liu Bei wanted to attack Zhang Yi, his subordinates were against it.It can be said that no one agreed, and everyone was against it. There was only one person who did not express his attitude, and that was Chen Dao, the head of Liu Bei's bodyguard.

Among them, Jian Yong, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were the ones who were more determined.

Jian Yong and Liu Bei are old friends, so there is a lot less estimation when talking: "My lord, Cao Cao is powerful now, and we can only fight against Cao Cao if we can unite with Zhang Yi. If the lord attacks Zhang Yi now, with Zhang Yi's character of vengeance, he I won’t let it go. If the lord wants to be in the middle of the two powerhouses, the risk he has to take is very big.”

Liu Bei said: "Now is not the time when I started. If I give up these troops, I don't know how long it will take to rise."

Jian Yong also knew Liu Bei's worry, so he just sighed and said, "I'm afraid that my lord will not lose money by stealing the chicken, but it will not be as good as it is now."

Guan Yu persuaded Liu Bei: "Zhang Yi supported the lord when he was poor. It is unrighteous for the lord to attack Zhang Yi. How can he convince the people?"

Regarding his old subordinates, Liu Bei could only patiently explain: "Yun Chang, didn't you see it? Zhang Yi let me stay in Runan, and he wanted to control me here. We are in the cracks between Cao Cao and Zhang Yi, and there is no There will be development, and if you don’t jump out of this crack, you will eventually be wiped out.”

Guan Yu naturally knows this situation, but he is a proud person, or a person who wants to save face, and he does not allow himself to easily betray his moral position.So he was caught by Cao Cao, and after working for him for a while, he returned to Liu Bei.

Zhao Yun is not a pedantic person like Guan Yu, but he is a very strategic person. You must know that in the Wuhou Temple in Chengdu, Zhao Yun is among the civil servants.

"My lord is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and the only enemy is the national traitor Cao Cao. I am afraid that everyone will not be able to work together to attack the Zhang family despite the national traitors."

Zhao Yun's words were already very embarrassing to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei naturally heard it. He said, "It's not easy to fight against national thieves. My foundation is not successful, so how can we talk about fighting against national thieves?"

Zhao Yun also knew that Liu Bei's foundation was shallow, but it was really not a war with Zhang Yi at this time, "Cao Cao is powerful, and my lord will cooperate with Zhang Yi in the future. If Zhang Yi hates this, it may not be conducive to defeating Cao Cao."

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "I will let Yun Chang be the vanguard in this dispatch. With Yun Chang's character, the lord will definitely not attack, as long as we delay for a while."

Hearing what Liu Bei said, Zhao Yun was relieved.He was afraid that Liu Bei and Zhang Yi would fight to the death. Zhang Yi was too powerful. Liu Bei's attack on Zhang Yi was like hitting a stone with an egg.He was afraid that Liu Bei would wipe out the army, so he really had to start from the beginning. If he started from the beginning, many of the existing ones would not be there, especially the cavalry he led.

After Guan Yu received Liu Bei's order, he was extremely reluctant in his heart. He brought two thousand troops to the outside of Yangquan City, and set up camp without making any attack.

But after he entered Yangquan with the army, Huarong regarded him as an attack.People under Zhang Yi basically regard Liu Bei as Zhang Yi's subordinate, and those who know the truth are very wary of Liu Bei.

Three days after Guan Yu arrived in Yangquan, Xue Rengui finally came to Yangquan.In the three counties in the north of Lujiang, only Xue Rengui led the cavalry. After receiving the military report, he came over after a little preparation.

It's just that he didn't go directly to Yangquan, but stationed nearby. After observing for more than a day, he saw that Guan Yu didn't seem to have any intention of attacking, so he entered Yangquan City.

After waiting for a few days, Guan Yu didn't intend to retreat, which made Xue Rengui very annoyed!It is not a glorious thing to be attacked by soldiers.

He had already sent scouts to find out that Liu Bei was twenty miles away, and he didn't make any moves.

Xue Rengui is also an arrogant person, maybe all capable people are like this, and Xue Rengui is even more so, because his ability is greater than ordinary people.

Xue Rengui came to Guan Yu's camp with his thousand cavalry and called for battle.

Of course, the call at this time is not heads-up.Even if Xue Rengui wants to fight Guan Yu, Guan Yu will not fight Xue Rengui.

The so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Guan Yu is actually a very cautious person.When he fled, he deliberately changed the wording.In ancient times, there were many people with the same name, but the place of birth and character became a means of identifying people.If Guan Yu changed his character, people from other counties would not arrest him.

In history, there is a single-handed meeting. It is said that Guan Yu and Lu Su met. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said that Guan Yu went to the meeting alone, but "Three Kingdoms" records that it was Lu Su who went to the meeting alone.It can be seen that Guan Yu is not an adventurous person.

But Guan Yu is not a timid person. He heard that Xue Rengui was challenging outside the camp, so he immediately led his troops out of the camp.

Xue Rengui loudly questioned Guan Yu: "Guan Yu, my lord has kindness to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei will avenge his kindness and come to attack Yangquan. Aren't you afraid of many injustices?"

Guan Yu knew he was wrong, but he couldn't help retorting: "This is the territory of the Han Dynasty. Our army is the Han army. The Han army is stationed in Han territory. How can we attack?"

Xue Rengui reprimanded: "Xuchang is also a Han land, why don't you go to Xuchang to station?"

Guan Yu didn't know how to make an excuse for a while, so he said, "It's useless to talk too much. Xue Li, since you are here to challenge, let your horse come here!"

"Then you just wait to die!" Xue Rengui didn't want to spend too much time talking with him, so he turned his horse back, and then returned to the cavalry, picked up the spear, raised it high, and shouted loudly.

The cavalry behind him also shouted, and then ran slowly with him, and rushed towards Guan Yu's infantry.

Guan Yu had a lot of dealings with cavalry, especially princes with elite cavalry like Lu Bu and Cao Cao.Seeing Xue Rengui's cavalry pick up their spears, he also began to order: "Make a spear array!"

Xue Rengui watched Guan Yu's infantry take out a long spear, immediately raised his eyes, and ordered again: "Put down the spear, pick up the bow and arrow!"

"Free fire, let go!"

Xue Rengui's two orders were relatively compact, because when the cavalry picked up their bows and arrows, they were already within a hundred paces.

After the arrow was shot, Guan Yu also noticed it, and immediately began to defend.Guan Yu also began to organize the archers to counterattack, and Xue Rengui shot at each other.

Guan Yu set up a hedgehog formation, and Xue Rengui shot arrows around the hedgehog formation. They fought for an hour, and both sides left the battlefield with dozens of dead soldiers.

The first battle between Zhang Yi and Liu Bei ended in a draw.
