Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 260 Accident
  Guan Yu bit his silver teeth into pieces, and in his anger, his originally red face turned purple.

The junior colonel behind him caught up and asked anxiously: "General, what should I do?"

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, raised his hand and waved his sword and ordered: "You retreat five hundred steps, I will call out Hua Xiong and kill him in formation, waiting for the enemy general to be beheaded. Without the general, the soldiers in the city will surely commit chaos." Regiment, you all swarmed up, rushed into the city gate, and captured the city head."

"This... Hua Xiong is a powerful general under the Prime Minister's command. If he is killed, how will the Prime Minister answer when asked in the future?"

The infantry led by Guan Yu were originally ruffians from the southern camp of Xuchang. Although they were completely surrendered at this moment, they were afraid of Cao Cao's reputation from the bottom of their hearts.

"Where did all this nonsense come from? It was clearly Hua Xiong who acted unkindly first, so he should be killed. When the Prime Minister asks about it in the future, he will also answer like this!"

"promise…."

As the soldiers retreated slowly, Guan Yu stepped forward on his horse, raised his sword and pointed it at Hua Xiong, shouting loudly: "Hua Xiong, you stood still when my brother fought Yuan Shao in a bloody battle. Now that Yuan Shu is defeated, what's the point of you occupying Yuzhang?" , retreat quickly and let bygones be bygones, if not, I will kill your dog’s head as a sacrifice to the flag!”

"Guan Yu, I kindly sent troops to help your elder brother suppress the rebellion, but how dare you bark in the city! Could it be that you want to use the Prime Minister's power to do the things of another minister!"

"If you are brave enough, go down to the city and fight with a certain person. If he cannot defeat you, lead your troops and retreat."

If Hua Xiong had just entered the Central Plains, needless to say, he would have already gone down to the city to fight Guan Yu.

At that time, he was the most powerful general in Xiliang. Dong Zhuo trusted the general and was fearless.

But these days are different.

After hanging out in Zhongyuan for a long time, Hua Xiong naturally understood that he was not a great general at all, and he couldn't even lift Zhang Wu's Overlord Spear.

Unless he is stupid, he will give up the advantages of a high wall, a strong city, and a large number of people to go down to the city to fight Guan Yu.

Hua Xiong now just wants to win the battle.

Although his brain is still not bright, at least he will not show off his courage.

Jia Xu told him that he was only defending the city, so as long as Guan Yu's infantry climbed up to the top of the city, he would not even take a second look.

What's more, Guan Yu has no more than a thousand soldiers at this moment.

Even if Hua Xiong lent him another thousand men, he would definitely not be able to climb to the top of Yuzhang City.

"Guan Yu, don't be quick to talk. I am the general of the Chinese army and the governor of Runan. How qualified are you to challenge me? If you are really capable and can get to the top of the city, I will naturally fight with you Sanbaihe."

"Courageless man! You..."

Guan Yu wanted to curse a few more words, but he was shot back by sharp arrows flying down from the city.

Looking towards the top of the city again, I could see Hua Xiong's shadow nowhere.

"A common man! A common man without courage!"

"General, what now?"

Guan Yu flicked his long sleeves: "Hmph! Return to Shouchun first to report to Brother Ming, let the military advisor make the decision!"

Guan Yu felt unhappy that Yu Zhang was lost like this, but he had no choice but to do anything about it.

He never thought of this situation when he went on the expedition. He had few soldiers, only five ladders, and Hua Xiong could not go out. His plan to attack Yuzhang by force was simply a fantasy.

Who would have thought.

After Guan Yu returned to Shouchun and explained the reason, Xu Shu not only did not allow him to lead the army to attack Yuzhang, but instead ordered him to temporarily suspend his weapons and spears and stand still.

Guan Yu was so arrogant. He treated Hua Xiong like a fool. Now that he was humiliated by a fool, there was no reason not to retaliate.

He contradicted Xu Shu in the hall, but Liu Bei drove him out of the hall.

With Liu Bei personally coming forward, Guan Yu naturally did not dare to make any mistakes, but this matter was even recorded by him.

When Xu Shu urged Liu Bei to go west to attack Jing, Liu Bei still refused.

In desperation, Xu Shu could only suggest that Liu Bei form an alliance with Liu Yao in the south to resist Sun Ce, and ally with Liu Biao in the west to prevent Cao Cao.

Liu Bei then readily agreed. Three days later, Liu Bei led Xu Shu as an envoy to Jingzhou. He was guarded by Xintou generals named Shuzhi from Runan, Chen Dao.

After occupying Huainan for a generation, Liu Bei could be regarded as a prince.

Originally, there was no need for him to personally handle the mission.

On the one hand, Liu Biao is also a clan member of the Han family. If Liu Bei wants to establish a relationship, he should treat him as a visiting relative.

On the other hand, the three brothers had the same mind. Although Liu Bei drove Guan Yu out that day, he was still very angry at Hua Xiong's behavior. If he were in Huainan and Guan Yu attacked Hua Xiong, he would inevitably be suspected of being the instigator. As long as he and Xu Shu are not in Huainan, Guan Yu will definitely send troops without permission. In this way, he will not only fulfill Liu Bei's wishes, but will not hate Xu Shu.

At worst, when the time comes, he will come back and pretend to accuse Guan Yu.

Liu Bei now has only Xu Shu, the most talented military advisor under his command, so he inevitably has to be cautious in his actions.

Sure enough, the envoy's team had just left Shouchun, and Guan Yu found Zhang Fei on the back.

"Third brother, second brother has made it clear, give me some soldiers and horses, I'm going to kill Hua Xiong, I guess you won't stand in the way."

Zhang Fei grinned and said with a smile: "What are you saying, second brother? Our third brother, our own brother, Military Advisor Xu is quite talented, but he is too petty in his behavior. Hua Xiong, how can he be our brother's rival?" But if the second brother wants to fight, he has to be the one with Lao Zhang."

Guan Yu immediately agreed.

Huainan is the foundation of Yuan Shu. Although it is dilapidated, the foundation is still there.

Zhang Fei's recruitment has been going on for some time. There are nearly 30,000 soldiers under his command, and they are still capable of fighting.

After the two brothers combined their efforts, Yuan Shu surrendered Qiao Rui and left 10,000 soldiers to defend the city.

He also ordered the craftsmen in the city to build ladders and supervise the production of siege equipment.

After three more days.

The two brothers led an army of 20,000 people and headed towards Yuzhang.

.........

"General, it's bad, General Guan and Zhang are coming towards Yuzhang with an army of 20,000 people."

Hua Xiong's heart skipped a beat.

He stood up from his seat in shock.

Jia Xu had clearly told him before that there would be no mistakes in occupying Yuzhang.

It seems that the old fox Jia Xu was wrong.

"Gather your troops and go to the city!"

Yuzhang is close to Runan.

The news of Guan and Zhang's army's expedition against Yuzhang also reached Jia Xu.

At this moment, the old fox frowned and leaned in front of the case, trying hard to figure out what went wrong.

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. No matter whether Liu Bei has ambitions or not, and how ambitious he is, at this stage, surrendering to Cao Cao and maintaining a superficial relationship between master and minister is obviously in the best interest of the Huainan generation.

But Jia Xu never dreamed that Liu Bei had already made up his mind to gain prestige by rebelling against Cao Cao. He even made up his mind to join forces with the Liu clan and jointly reject Cao Cao. Even Xu Shu could not get him back.

It can only be said that Liu Bei still underestimated the power of Cao Jun.

But no matter what, when things come to a head, you have to come up with a charter, otherwise once Hua Xiong and Yuzhang are defeated, Guan and Zhang's troops will immediately cover Runan.

"Send a message to Xuchang, asking generals Cao Ren and Cao Chun to send troops to help Yuzhang."

"promise."
