Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 260 Night Attack on the Plains
Hearing what Zhang Liao said, everyone else nodded.

Tian Yu said to Zhao Yun: "Captain, I am also familiar with them."

"In fact, we are as close as brothers."

"But now big things lie ahead."

"Private feelings can only be put aside."

"Otherwise, how can we be worthy of Wu Hou?"

"I don't know anything else. I only know that Marquis Wu trusted me so much and gave me my current status."

Zhao Yun sighed: "Who is not?"

After taking a deep breath, Zhao Yun said loudly: "Send the order and all the generals will gather in the commander's tent!"

Suddenly, roars sounded from all directions.

Zhang Xiu and others who were training with the cavalry also stopped and rushed to the commander's tent.

Zhao Yun showed the letter from Wu Hou Lu Yi to all the generals.

After that, he ordered the army to be divided into two parts.

Part of Zhang Xiu's five thousand cavalry can rest in the military camp for half a day.

Half a day later, we immediately set off for Pingyuan Port.

Once the army captured Pingyuan Port, the cavalry immediately crossed the river and detoured to the rear of Pingyuan to prevent Yuan Shao's defenders from retreating.

The other part was Zhao Yun himself leading an army of [-], who set off half an hour later, lightly armed, and rushed to Linji Port.

Song Xian was responsible for subsequent grain transportation.

At the same time, people were rushed to Qingzhou urgently, and Zang Ba was asked to send troops immediately to assist in the attack on Pingyuan Port.

As the military order was issued, the entire military camp became busy.

Half an hour later, the army was reorganized. Zhao Yun was the main general, Zhang Liao was the deputy general, and Tian Yu was the vanguard. The [-]-strong army marched towards Linji Port in a hurry.

And this time.

Pingyuan County Government.

Night falls.

Guan Yu came back from patrolling the port. After dinner, he knelt down in the hall and waited, reading "Spring and Autumn".

Guan Yu has no other preferences in his life.

Just practice martial arts and read history books.

Among them, "Spring and Autumn" is his favorite.

The various stories in "Spring and Autumn" are not just about life, but also about military battles.

Guan Yu has read "Spring and Autumn" dozens of times.

Every time he reads it, he can gain new insights.

Just when Guan Yu was looking at it seriously, a drunken figure walked in.

The strong smell of wine made Guan Yu frown.

He raised his head and saw Zhang Fei walking in carrying two large jars of strong liquor.

Seeing Guan Yu looking over, Zhang Fei grinned and said, "Second brother, I get bored drinking alone. You can have a few sips with me."

Guan Yu breathed out, put down the bamboo slips, and said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, how do you look like you have been drunk all day?"

"Now Yuan Shao has asked us to guard the plains, and my eldest brother is not around, but is going out with Yuan Shao."

"If we are not careful and something happens, it will only hurt my eldest brother!"

"Maybe it could even endanger your life!"

Zhang Fei came to Guan Yu, sat down, placed the wine jar next to Guan Yu, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid?"

"If anything happens in this vast plain, we can dispatch troops as soon as possible."

"Besides, we have been here for more than half a year, and nothing has changed in Xuzhou!"

"Old boy Yuan Shaona also said before that Jiangdong is mainly recuperating and recuperating now."

"Before we went on the expedition, my eldest brother also said that we just need to be careful."

"Now, second brother, aren't you watching?"

"Drink a little, just a little, it won't bother you."

"Even if you are drunk, if anyone dares to attack, I, Zhang Fei, will stab him to death with my halberd!"

Guan Yu watched Zhang Fei pick up the wine jar and start drinking again. He sighed and said, "I wonder how big brother is doing now?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "What else can be done? I see, he is having a great time!"

"Now we have taken refuge in this old boy Yuan Shao. This old boy Yuan Shao's family has a great business, and he may be able to dominate the world in the future."

"Yuan Shao, this old boy, attaches great importance to our eldest brother, and even asked our eldest brother to lead the army south to attack Xudu."

"In the future, if this old boy Yuan Shao really takes over the world, our eldest brother will also be a hero."

Guan Yu sighed and said, "A hero?"

If this was the ending that the eldest brother expected, then it would not have been a bad idea to follow Cao Cao in Xudu.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both in the same boat.

Some time ago I heard that Tian Feng, Yuan Shao's mastermind, committed suicide in prison.

Although Tian Feng never wanted to see his three brothers, he was the hero who contributed to Yuan Shao's defeat of Gongsun Zan.

Now, Gongsun Zan is dead, and Tian Feng is also dead.

No matter how I feel, there is a sense of sadness that "the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog is cooked".

In this regard, he actually felt that Cao Cao was better.

However, Cao Cao is not a good person.

Lu Yi's appearance appeared in Guan Yu's mind.

Nowadays, among the many princes, only one has heard of his benevolence, righteousness and love for the people.

No matter whether he captured Jingzhou, Lujiang, or Xuzhou, there was no news that he had massacred the city.

I even heard that he reduced taxes for the people in his territory.

It seems that for the sake of scholars all over the world, countless papermakers have been hired with huge sums of money to produce cheaper and better paper.

Thinking of the scene when he met Lu Yi in Tancheng, Guan Yu said: "If I have to find someone to take refuge with, I still think that the Lord of Jiangdong is much stronger than Yuan Shao."

"And we have experience working with him."

"Another one, Zilong is still serving as the Cavalry Commander in Xuzhou."

"It is said that the state minister is also in Xuzhou." Zilong, the nickname of Zhao Yun.

Guorang, the name of Tian Yu.

Speaking of Zhao Yun and Tian Yu, Zhang Fei cursed and babbled: "Don't mention them, two traitors! For the sake of glory and wealth, they abandoned my eldest brother. We treat them as brothers in vain!"

Guan Yu shook his head and said: "You can't say that, third brother. A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses his master to serve. Zilong and Guorang are both generals of the generation. They follow us to live precariously and live in no fixed place."

"Now, they have better choices, and we should be happy for them."

"It's just that if we fight -"

Guan Yu let out a long sigh.

Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Then why don't they learn from us?"

Guan Yu Fusu smiled and said: "Everyone has different choices. We cannot use our own standards to strictly demand others."

"Besides, Zilong and Guorang tried their best when they were with us."

"Especially Guorang. He has followed us since he was a boy to this point, but he has not received any credit. We are sorry for him."

At this moment, the watchman's voice sounded outside.

Guan Yu said softly to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, it's getting late. Stop drinking. Go and rest!"

Zhang Fei then said: "Then I will go to the port to patrol again, and then go to sleep."

Guan Yu said angrily: "You are like this, how are you going to go? You go to bed, I will go and take a look."

Zhang Fei said "oh" and carried the wine jar into the bedroom.

Guan Yu shook his head.

Putting the bamboo slips carefully on the table, Guan Yu walked out of the county office alone and came to the dock. While encouraging the soldiers on duty, Guan Yu inspected the other side.

On the other side of the Yellow River, everything was dark, with only a few sentry posts glowing dimly.

But in this dark, moonless night, it seemed so small.

Even though it is March, the night wind is still very cold.

Guan Yu shrank his neck and murmured: "Zilong, Guorang, I hope we can watch each other like this and not fight. I really don't want to take action with you."

When he was inspecting the dock defenses halfway, Guan Yu saw several soldiers pointing at the dark night.

Guan Yu walked over and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

Several soldiers heard the sound and turned around.

Seeing that it was Guan Yu, several people hesitated.

One of the soldiers bravely pointed to the opposite side and said, "General, I seem to hear the sound of oars paddling. And it's not just a little bit, but a lot."

Another soldier saw this and said, "I seemed to hear it too, and it seemed to be approaching. It felt like the sound of hundreds of large ships paddling."

Guan Yu's expression suddenly became stern, and he signaled everyone to quiet down, and he listened attentively.

The next moment, his face changed suddenly.

It is indeed the sound of paddling!

It’s just the cold wind howling, and it’s not easy to hear if you don’t pay attention!

Guan Yu immediately roared: "Defend quickly! The enemy is attacking!"

The entire dock suddenly became noisy.

Countless soldiers gathered from all directions towards the dock fortifications.

However, the number of people is still too small!

Guan Yu kept roaring, directing the people to gather, and ran towards the camp.

There are definitely a lot of enemies!

But there are less than one-third of the soldiers on duty today!

He could only pray that the enemy attack would be small.

However, Guan Yu had only run less than two miles to the camp when countless bright lights suddenly lit up on the water, illuminating the dark night.

Hundreds of warships were densely packed on the water.

As the light came on, arrows rained down, directly covering the dock defenses.

The screams instantly connected the city.

Hundreds of soldiers on the fortifications were directly pinned to the ground by the rain of arrows.

Guan Yu's eyes narrowed and his breathing stopped.

Countless warships approached the dock.

Above, enemy troops surged in like a tidal wave.

Guan Yu screamed while running towards the camp: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Retreat into the city quickly!"

One wrong move and the whole game is lost!

He was so careless that he didn't send more people to guard against the enemy's night attack across the river!

In the camp, Yuan Shao's soldiers who heard the fighting at the dock and Guan Yu's screams got up one after another and ran towards the city in panic.

They didn't even have time to put on their clothes, so they took their weapons and fled into the city.

When Guan Yu commanded the army in the camp to retreat hastily into the city, Guan Yu climbed onto the city wall. Before he could take a breath, he saw thousands of cavalry bypassing Pingyuan City from the dock and heading towards the rear.

Fast as lightning.

Guan Yu looked in the direction of these cavalry, his beard slightly raised and his eyes dull.

Finished!

That direction——

The retreat to Yecheng was completely blocked.

In other words.

The enemy's night attack this time came directly towards the siege, hoping to trap the [-] defenders in the plain to death in the city!
Guan Yu raised his head and looked at the dark night sky, his eyes red.

Sorry, brother!

The eldest brother entrusted him with an important task, but he failed to complete the task for him.

Suddenly, he touched the sword at his waist and wanted to kill him.

However, as soon as the sword was unsheathed, he closed his eyes again.

Death is easy.

But what will happen to the eldest brother and third brother if he dies?
