Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Sun Ce won Xiapi and Xiaopei, but did not continue to gather other counties in Xuzhou.According to the words in his correspondence with Wu Guotai, Xuzhou is now a place where "everything is depressed and ghosts sing", and it is not worth bothering about.The [-] troops of Guan Yu and Cao Hong should be intercepted first, and Cao Cao's vital force should be eliminated, so as not to give Liu Bei a chance to make a comeback.

After two plans by Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, and Sun Quan, Sun Ce found that zero loss on his own side is very worthwhile to do.On the one hand, he had to wait for the successors of Soochow to arrive, and on the other hand, he urged Pang Tong and others to draw up a new plan, how to intercept Guan Yu and others with the least loss.

Zhuge Liang suggested: "Use Han Xin's 'Ambush on Ten Sides'. Send the soldiers of Xiaopei and Xiapi to meet Guan Yu, and spread the news about Guangling County and Xiapi among the army. We have finished Cao Hong's chance of remaining 1 people."

Sun Quan looked at the Kanyu map in front of him, and raised his doubts: "Will Cao Hong take people back to Yanzhou from Xiapi?"

Pang Tong immediately replied to Sun Quan: "In my opinion, he should return to Yanzhou via Qiaojun. This is the fastest route through Xuzhou and back to their Yanzhou."

"If Guan Yu can control the soldiers under his command, he should think about taking back Xiapi or Xiaopei, and maybe he will ask Cao Hong for help."

"Cao Hong will not help him recover Xiapi. He has to wait for Cao Cao's order."

"He can't wait. He has no supplies and has to go back to Yanzhou." Zhuge Liang added Pang Tong's words leisurely.

Sun Ce, Zhang Hong, Sima Hui, and Zhou Yu sat down and listened to Pang Tong's discussion. The more they listened, the more frightened they became.

Zhou Yu knew about Sun Quan's situation before studying with Sima Hui. Zhang Hong had taught Sun Quan for many years. He heard that Sun Quan was obviously weaker than Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, but he had made great progress compared to himself before.So the three of them bowed their hands to Sima Hui.

Zhou Yu was the weakest in terms of age and qualifications, and he saluted Sima Hui: "Mr. Shui Jing educates people, and stubborn stones can also be turned into rough jade."

Sun Ce smiled and said, "Rotten wood can also be carved into pillars."

Zhang Hong shook his head, "It's not stubborn stones and rotten wood, it's just good talents and qualities that haven't been taught by a good teacher."

Sima Hui said modestly, "There, Bofu and Zigang have already laid a good foundation, and now Zhongmou has not shown a blockbuster for ten years."

Sun Ce stood up and thanked Sima Hui and Zhang Hong, "Without the guidance of the two gentlemen, Zhongmou would not have the day of enlightenment."

Sima Hui and Zhang Hong stood up and returned the salute.

Their movement disturbed the three people who were still discussing.

Zhuge Liang looked at the hourglass and reminded Pang Tong and Sun Quan, "The time is coming."

Pang Tong immediately decided, "First, send three or two hundred soldiers from Guangling County, Xiapi, and Xiaopei to Shouchun to disrupt the morale of the soldiers led by Guan Yu. Second, set up an ambush on the road from Qiao County to Yanzhou. Let the [-] troops led by Cao Hong go back to Yanzhou."

"What if Guan Yu returns to Xiapi and Xiaopei?" Sun Quan was still a little afraid that those soldiers would not be able to break the morale of Guan Yu's troops.

Zhuge Liang didn't take Sun Quan's proposal seriously, and he insisted on his own opinion.

"No, we can let those soldiers say that the scholar-bureaucrats have gone to Dongjiang to avoid disaster. As long as they surrender to Marquis Wu and join the Dongjiang army, they don't need to go to Dongjiang. They can get the protection of Soochow in Xuzhou."

Pang Tong added: "Let Danyang's soldiers go. They have many acquaintances themselves, and they were in Xuzhou's army. It is more reliable than picking people from Liu Bei's original people."

Sun Ce and the others soon got the plan of the three of them. Although it is not perfect to the degree of flawlessness, they can all adopt it with a few additions.Speaking of the previous two plans, Sun Ce still suspected that Sun Quan was just adding his name. After listening to their discussion process, he knew that although Sun Quan was far behind Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, he was enlightened. The relief of a helper.

Wu Jing quickly arrived in Guangling County with the army that came to reinforce him.Sun CE sent Zhou Yu to meet Wu Jing in Guangling County, and ordered in handwriting that Guangling County should be handed over to Jiang Qin and Jiang Gongyi as the prefect, leaving [-] troops for Zhou Yu to stand by on the spot; then hand over Xiapi to Wu Jing; Xiaopei asked Zhou Tai and Zhou Youping to garrison, He and Wu Jing became horns.

He led his troops to join Zhou Yu, Zhang Hong went to Shouchun as a counselor, and Sima Hui took his three intern students to set up an ambush in Qiaojun first.

Guan Yu and Cao Hong, who led [-] troops to besiege Shouchun, were very depressed. Time slipped by for almost a month. No matter how they shouted and insulted outside Shouchun City, the defenders of the city would not show their heads, and the soldiers would be deaf In general, just defend the city.

The closed city gate wrapped Yuan Shu like a tortoise shell, which made Guan Yu and Cao Hong wonder whether the arrogant Yuan Shu in the city who called himself emperor was still alive in the world.

Guan Yu was wearing neat armor all over his body, leaning on his Qinglong Yanyue knife and standing beside the red rabbit horse.Looking up at the luck of the Shouchun City Wall not far away.

Since Ji Ling escaped from his Yanyue knife by chance, he hasn't appeared again.

Cowardly, afraid of death!

Guan Yu thought of Ji Ling this way in his heart.

Fortunately, you, Ji Ling, are still the number one general under Yuan Shu's account, so you'll become a coward just like that, it's better to die under the Yanyue knife to fulfill your reputation as a hero for the rest of your life.

If Ji Ling would think so, he would definitely say that it is better to live than to die.In the past, why didn't I see you put your brains on Sun Jian's gun!

But don't worry, Sun Ce will avenge Qiao Rui and kill you.

The sun slowly turned from south to west, slowly covering the western sky with the fire clouds, which became the background of Guan Yu's thousands of soldiers in full armor.Ji Ling looked at the enemy army whose military appearance was beginning to drag, and felt a strong desire to take thousands of troops out to charge for a while.

Zhang Xun stood next to Ji Ling, and said leisurely, "I wonder if Bofu has obtained Xiapi?"

Yang Hong, who accompanied the two of them to watch the battle on the city wall, said: "Should have been able to get to Xiapi early. If you look closely at Guan Yu's soldiers, they are not as energetic as before. This is not because they have been standing under the city for several days. This is due to the lack of food in the army. Soldiers began to be hungry."

Ji Ling trusted Yang Hong very much. Yang Hong's analysis meant that Guan Yu was about to retire.

"Yang Changshi, according to you, Sun Ce intentionally delayed until Guan Yu ran out of provisions?"

Zhang Xun has always been very optimistic about Sun Ce, and Qiao Rui took the initiative to snatch Sun Ce as his son-in-law, and he regretted it for several years.He strongly agrees with Yang Hong's statement.

"Maybe Bofu is on the way to Shouchun. With the friendship between Duke Qiao and Sun Ce when he was not up, Sun Ce should also take Guan Yu's head to avenge Qiao Gong's death, saying that Bofu is in front of the little emperor. It will not be weak."

Yang Hong nodded in agreement. Guan Yu beheaded Qiao Rui, but he didn't restrain Qiao Rui's body. Is this a lie that Qiao Rui has no children?Or bully Yuan Shu who has no generals in his hands and can do nothing to him?

He couldn't say such a thing, because Qiao Rui was indeed childless, and Yuan Shu's subordinates were indeed incapable of defeating Guan Yu's generals.

Ji Ling sighed in his heart, regretting that Yuan Shu's vision ruined the engagement, otherwise why would he be blocked and scolded.Yuan Shu looked at Sun Jian differently in the past, it's not like he didn't envy and envy him.But as soon as Sun Jian died, Yuan Shu immediately went from attacking everywhere to seize the territory, and then Liu Biao first took away the rich Nanjun, and then Liu Yu took Qu'a, and was trapped in Shouchun, the governor of Yangzhou, with nothing to do with Liu Yao.

And Sun Ce's defeat of Liu Yao's Jiangdong battle was like a stroke of magic.

"Duke Ming missed Bofu." Yang Hong's well-timed sigh spoke out Ji Ling's heart.

The three of them didn't want to talk about Sun Ce any more, so they silently watched Guan Yu, who was not far away, go back to the camp as a whole team.

Guan Yu and Cao Hong became more and more irritable. Although they intercepted a lot of food and grass when they encountered Ji Ling, they didn't see Guangling County to bring food and grass over these days. up.Now the soldiers are already half dry and half thin, with only two meals.

If this continues, let alone attacking Shouchun, even if we go back to Guangling County, the army will not have enough food and grass.

"Yun Chang, do you think there is something wrong with Guangling County and Xiapi?"

Cao Hong felt more and more uneasy in his heart.

So far, Guan Yu has no choice but to encourage Cao Hong.

"Zilian, don't think so much. We won Guangling County, so you sent someone to deliver a letter to Cao Sikong. I believe that the people he sent have already taken over and controlled Guangling County."

It was also a matter of Guan Yu's heart to mention that Guangling County was in charge of Cao Cao.Obviously he beheaded Qiao Rui by himself, and he wanted to hand over Guangling County to Cao Cao, hmph.

Guan Yu was very unconvinced, but he had no other choice.I hope this time I can avenge Yuan Shu's old revenge for attacking Xuzhou.

In the barracks at night, the soldiers were locked in their respective barracks and were not allowed to move around at will.But whispers still spread in the barracks. Guangling County and Xiapi were captured by Wuhou Sun Ce, Liu Bei was captured by Wuhou, and Zhang Fei fled Xiaopei with a hundred people.

Therefore, no military rations will be sent from Guangling County in the future.

The news spread throughout the camp overnight.

When Guan Yu received a report from his personal guards and wanted to stop the rumors, Cao Hong took his personal guards to bid him farewell.

"Yun Chang, the soldiers sent to Guangling County to urge food and grass have not returned, and the soldiers sent to Xiapi have not returned. There is not much food and grass left in the army. I want to lead the army back to Yanzhou and reduce the food and grass here. Consumption. Otherwise, the two of us will stay outside Shouchun City for another ten days, and the soldiers will have to bomb the camp."

It was like a bolt from the blue when Cao Hong wanted to go right with Guan Yu.He only has [-] soldiers, which is almost all of Xuzhou's organic forces. If he can fight alone, Ji Ling will lead a few more generals to surround him. Not only is his [-] troops not enough for Yuan Shu to chew on, once he is defeated , Yuan Shu is likely to chase after Xiapi.

"Zi Lian, do you really want to leave?"

Guan Yu was moved, but he couldn't say anything to persuade him to stay.The food and grass in the army is indeed not enough to last ten days.

"Yun Chang, according to the current situation, withdraw the troops."

Speaking of the withdrawal of the troops, Cao Hong felt that the pressure of these days and the sinking feeling of hearing Liu Bei's rumors this morning disappeared all of a sudden.

Guo Fengxiao's goal of taking the army out to stir up Xuzhou and Huainan has been achieved, and he should go back.As for the matter of defeating Yuan Shu, Meng De had to be left to do it, so as to get greater benefits from the court.

"Yun Chang, let's go to Qiao County together and break up there. I will go north to Yanzhou and you will go east to Xuzhou. What do you think?"

If there were no sudden messages from the army, it would be most appropriate to make such a decision based on the food reserves.Guan Yu looked at the sincere Cao Hong in front of him, and asked bluntly, "Did Zi Lian hear the rumors in the barracks last night?"

Cao Hong is not someone who hides scheming, he nodded immediately, "So there is still time for us to withdraw our troops now."

Guan Yu struggled to say the next sentence, "You believe in Xuande and don't know where to end?"

Cao Hong is embarrassed, you Guan Yu asked me that?How do you want me to answer?But the two of them get along well these days, and he admires Guan Yu, who takes the lead in righteousness.

"Yun Chang don't think too much first. We only make decisions based on food and grass."

"Then we should return to Guangling County the same way. Otherwise, if Guangling County escorts the food and grass, wouldn't it be all sent to Yuan Shu at once?"

Cao Hong was secretly lucky and tried to calm his tone.

"Yun Chang, it's not that I believed the rumors in the army. Think about Sun Ce, is he the kind who would honestly watch you and me besiege Shouchun without making a move? You killed Qiao Rui, and Sun Ce didn't do anything in the past. When he gained power, Qiao Rui married his daughter to him, and the son of the daughter of the Qiao family was not yet one year old, so Sun Ce asked him to be named the son of Marquis Wu, which shows how much Sun Ce loved the daughter of the Qiao family and her son. In one point of view, Sun Ce should come from Jiangdong immediately to look for you and me. But these days, Sun Ce has no shadow at all, even Geyang County and Lujiang County, there is no sound at all. I am worried that he is the leader of the army. Went to Guangling County and Xiapi."

Sun Ce went to Guangling County and Xiapi?

Guan Yu's tall body swayed, and then he wanted to understand that what Cao Hong said must be true.A knowing wry smile appeared on Guan Yu's face sadly.

If Sun Ce really went, then the rumors would not be rumors but the truth.

"Brother Zilian, what you said is reasonable. But Sun Ce really took Guangling County and Xiapi, and he should lead an army to Shouchun now. We are going to march now, but it is clear that the rumors of the soldiers are true. You said that our army, can the morale of the army be stabilized?"

Cao Hong was dumbfounded, and was stunned when he saw Guan Yu who had lost his momentum and suddenly seemed to lose his vitality.

Yes, if Sun Ce led the army to Shouchun, what would Guan Yu do when he returned to Xiapi?
