Kill Wei Gou?

When Xu Shu heard this, his eyes almost popped out.

Is now the time to send troops to attack Wei?
Xu Shu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General, wait a minute, this is not the time to send troops. Nanyang's troops are weak and the food and grass are not available, so it is difficult to support the army in the campaign.

Moreover, it was already November, and the weather was cold and freezing, making it difficult for soldiers and horses to move. Moreover, the Wei army had stationed heavy troops in the Yuzhou area of ​​Yingchuan, Henan, making it difficult to take them lightly. Our army tried to attack before, but was defeated. Has the general forgotten this? "

When Guan Yu heard this, he frowned, glared angrily, and said sternly: "Xu Yuanzhi, why did you say this! I have made up my mind to kill all the Wei thieves to appease His Majesty's soul in heaven. Although Nanyang's army is weak, my bravery is the best in the world. We all know it, how can we back down because of this?
The cold weather and freezing ground allow the Wei thieves to see the bravery of our Han soldiers. The previous defeat was due to improper strategy. You must act cautiously this time and you will definitely win! "

Guan Yu is a troublemaker. A few days ago, he sent a small force to test the strength of the Wei army. As a result, he was disgraced by Cao Ren, who was good at defense. It can be said that he returned in defeat.

Although the military strength was not much lost, the morale of the Nanyang soldiers was slightly damaged.

Han Shoutinghou is good at everything, but with this character, he is simply a bully and cannot be pulled back.

Xu Shu knew that Guan Yu had a strong personality and was difficult to persuade him to return, but he still said sincerely: "General Guan, I am not trying to boost the ambition of others and destroy my own prestige. But it is not wise to send troops at this time. General, why don't you be patient for the time being and wait for the future?" When the troops are strong, the horses are strong, and the food and grass are abundant, I will conspire with Your Majesty to attack Wei in two directions. Then the general will send his troops to the north, and he will definitely succeed in one fell swoop."

After hearing this, Guan Yu pondered for a long time, and then sighed and said: "What Yuan Zhi said is true. I will endure my anger for a while and take revenge when I have the opportunity in the future."

But after saying this, he sighed again.

"A certain person feels unwell. His legs and feet are becoming less and less flexible. Every step he takes feels like he is carrying a huge weight. Now it is winter again. The wounds from the old battles have a dull pain, like a cone piercing his heart. He often has splitting headaches and cannot sleep at night. , the pain is unspeakable. The muscles in the body are gradually losing weight, and the body is haggard and exhausted.

This kind of performance may not last long.

When we attack Wei next year, will Guan really still be alive? "

After saying this, Guan Yu sighed again, with a sad expression.

When Xu Shu heard this, he also looked worried and consoled him: "General, please relax, this may be a common sign of old age and infirmity. You should seek out famous doctors to diagnose and treat the general. Moreover, the general is brave and invincible and has saved countless lives in his life. God will bless you. As long as you calm down and take care of yourself, you will be able to recover as before.”

After hearing this, Guan Yu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "I know that I am seriously ill and cannot be cured by medicine or stone. Even the miracle doctor Hua Tuo can't do anything. Yuan Zhi doesn't need to say more. It's a pity that I have to die on the sick bed instead of on the battlefield. , it is truly a great regret in life!”

When Xu Shu heard Guan Yu's words, he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable in his heart.

The clouds have dominated the world for decades, but in the end, they are so miserable when they grow old?
"Yun Chang, there may be an opportunity for you to lead troops."

Leading troops?

Hearing this, Guan Yu stood up immediately. His face was no longer gloomy and he looked like he was about to die soon.

With such a lively appearance, not to mention living for a few more years, even ten more years seems to be more than enough.

Could it be that I was deceived by Yunchang?

Xu Shu couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Why do you hesitate, military advisor? If you have anything to say, tell me quickly!"

He looked at Guan Yu's palm as big as a cattail leaf and was about to greet him.

Seeing this situation, Xu Shu could only say: "Guanzhong has been decided, and your Majesty is preparing to open the Wuguan Road so that Jingzhou supplies can enter Guanzhong. This is what I said, Yun Chang, you have an opportunity to lead the troops!"

Guanzhong was pacified, but the situation was not optimistic.

The wars that lasted for days and months caused a huge loss of people's power in Guanzhong, which was originally not well-established.

Civil servants were requisitioned to transport grain and grass, and people were requisitioned to build cities, fortresses and palaces.
In addition, Cao Zhen traveled across the pass and looted countless people, killing and wounding countless people.

There are fewer people farming, a lot of land has become barren, and many fields are even unharvested in the autumn.

There are at least 300,000 Han soldiers and civilians entering Guanzhong. With so many people coming in, they always need to eat.

With the current output of Guanzhong, it is difficult to supply the 300,000 people coming in.

This requires the supply of food and grass from outside.

The loss of grain and grass supplied from Yizhou was too great. If the Wuguan Road could be opened, it would undoubtedly greatly reduce the loss of Han people's manpower.

"Didn't Ping'er lead the troops? How could I be used?"

Xu Shu explained on the side: "General Xiaoguan has been unsuccessful in attacking Wuguan for many days. His soldiers have suffered heavy losses and their morale is low. We need to send reinforcements to help him conquer Wuguan!"

Wuguan is a powerful pass, and with the support of Zhang Liao, it is even more difficult to conquer.

It is normal for Guan Ping to feel deflated.

"If the Wuguan is cleared, I can also comfort His Majesty's spirit in heaven, and the general can go to Chang'an to say goodbye to His Majesty."

Hearing this, Guan Yu's eyes turned red.

For him, getting through Wuguan may not be the most important thing, but meeting Liu Bei for the last time is the biggest desire in his heart.

"Okay! I will lead the troops and take Wuguan!"

Guan Yu was a man of swift and decisive character. He prepared his weapons and armor within a day. On the morning of the next day, he led his 10,000 elite troops out of Wancheng and headed straight for Wuguan.

Within a month, he arrived at the Han army camp outside Wuguan.

The reason why the march is so fast is that it is winter now, the dry season, and the road is easier to walk.

Together with the Guanping Army, they repaired the roads along the way, making the road to Wuguan Road easier to walk.

In the main tent of the Han Army, Guan Ping was discussing military affairs with other generals. Suddenly he heard footsteps coming from outside the tent. He looked up and saw his father Guan Yu slowly approaching.

Guan Ping showed a look of surprise and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. He bowed deeply and said, "Father, why are you here?"

Guan Yu nodded slightly and signaled Guan Ping to stand up. He glanced at the generals in the tent. Seeing this, everyone stood up and saluted, and said in unison: "I have seen the general!"

Guan Yu raised his hand to signal everyone to refrain from courtesy, and said in a loud voice: "You don't need to be polite. Guan is here to capture Wuguan and open up Wuguan Road!"

When everyone heard this, their faces showed surprise.

To fight a Wuguan Dao, does the general need to come in person?

Guan Ping also felt like he couldn't hold his face anymore.

"Father, although Wuguan is a fortified city, most of the Wei troops among them have withdrawn. It is only a matter of time before Wuguan is captured. There is no need to bother my father to come here in person."

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "Let's talk about the situation here first."

Seeing this situation, Guan Ping could only say:
"Father, our army has been attacking Wuguan for some time. Although the losses are considerable, the morale of the soldiers is still there, the siege equipment is well prepared, and the food and grass reserves are sufficient to support the army to continue fighting."

Guan Ping said in a deep voice, "However, the Wei army has a large number of people and the Wuguan city defense is strong. Our army has failed to break through the city after repeated attacks, and the soldiers have suffered a lot of losses. However, it has recently been detected that the Wei army in the city seems to be escaping. General Zhang Liao The flag is also gone, maybe God is helping me.”

When Guan Yu heard this, he frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Oh? Zhang Liao's general's flag is missing? Has this been verified?"

Guan Ping nodded and replied: "We have sent agents to sneak into Guanzhong to investigate, and it is indeed true. I think Zhang Liao has been transferred away from Wuguan, or has encountered an accident. In addition, the local guide has found a small road for us to go around to Wuguan. On the back side of the pass, Hai'er is preparing to send dead soldiers with fire weapons to sneak in from the path and look for opportunities to defeat the enemy. "

Zhang Liao left, perhaps because he knew that Guanzhong was a foregone conclusion and there was no point in holding on here anymore.

"It seems that you can reach the martial arts level in one battle!"

After Guan Yu learned about the situation, he immediately made his own judgment.

"Cao Pi was defeated and Guanzhong was secured. The morale of the soldiers in Wuguanzhong must be low. Send envoys to the city to persuade them to surrender. They will tell me the name of Guan Yunchang. I will protect his life. If he dares to resist, I will not spare him lightly!"

The best strategy is to defeat the enemy's troops without fighting.

His Guan Yu people are here, your Wei generals guarding the city, won’t you give me Guan Yu a face? (End of chapter)
