Great Han Empire

Chapter 881 Troubled Times Heroic Chapter Wins Central Plains
Several shields rushed towards him quickly, protecting Dian Wei tightly.

"Boom..." The saber struck the shield with a dull sound.The guard holding the shield screamed, and Guan Yu chopped him and his shield to the ground.

"Surround Guan Yu, surround him for me..." Dian Wei was so angry that he roared repeatedly, and the short halberd in his hand struck the air, killing Guan Yu directly.

The guards in the prime minister's mansion swarmed from all directions.

"Form formation..." Guan Yu raised his head and shouted, "Rush in, rush in for me..."

Dozens of personal guards, with high morale, followed Guan Yu with sharp arrows, advancing step by step, and the sound of killing immediately resounded throughout the mansion.

Facing Guan Yu's stormy attack, Dian Wei retreated again and again, "Guan Yu, if you don't back out, I'm going to kill someone."

"Hmph..." Guan Yu sneered, suddenly withdrew his saber, looked at the sweating Dian Wei, and said coldly, "If you dare to hurt me alone, I will bloodbath Pengcheng today."

Dian Wei was about to retort when he saw several guards in the opponent's battle formation shooting several arrows into the air.

"咻...咻..." Ming Di flew straight to the clouds, and the ear-piercing cry made people shudder.

Dian Wei's expression changed suddenly.Is there still Guan Yu's army outside the city?

"Kill, kill, kill me..." Guan Yu held up his saber and charged in with his personal guards.

Xun Yu appeared next to Dian Wei.

"Master Guan, what are you doing?" Xun Yu asked angrily, "It is the emperor's will that the Prime Minister and the Xuzhou Shepherd lead you to leave Xuzhou with the army. It is the order of Master Liu. If you have resentment, you can report it to the court. Why do you bring people to kill?" The Prime Minister's Mansion? Do you want to gather a crowd to rebel?"

Guan Yu stopped in his tracks, "Let the Prime Minister come out and speak."

"The prime minister won't see you." Xun Yu waved his hand angrily, "The money and food have been given to you, and Lord Liu and the family members of the lords have also been taken away by Xianhe (Jian Yong). What else do you need to see the prime minister? I will withdraw, or I will be killed without mercy."

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, the muscles on his face twitched violently, and pointed the saber in his hand at Xun Yu, "If you talk nonsense with me again, I'll chop you up with a single knife. You bastards who are not as good as pigs and dogs, you will lose Xuzhou if you rob Xuzhou!" Forget it, to rob Xuzhou soldiers' wives and children is really worse than a beast. Zhang Fei was blind back then, and led Xuzhou soldiers to fight bloody battles, and exchanged thousands of lives for you gangsters."

Dian Wei was so angry that his lungs were exploding, he roared loudly, and he was about to lead someone to rush forward with his teeth and claws.Xun Yu grabbed him.Guan Yu has a calm personality and takes the overall situation into consideration. He is not a reckless and irritable person. Otherwise, after the Central Plains War, he would not have returned to Xuzhou to reorganize the army and help Cao Cao fight against the northern army after knowing that Cao Cao was going to rob Xuzhou.There must be a reason for what happened today.

"Master Guan, what did you mean by that just now? Who robbed the Xuzhou soldiers' wives and children? Whose wives and children were robbed?"

"Tell that shameless prime minister to get out of here." Guan Yu shouted loudly, "If he doesn't send Qin Yilu's wife and children out of the city today, I will wash Pengcheng with blood even if the whole army is wiped out."

Xun Yu suddenly thought of something, and his face was startled, "Master Guan, you mean that Du Shi who just gave birth?"

"I, Guan Yu, a majestic nine-foot man, can't protect the great man's country and land, and can't protect the brothers' wives, children, and children. What face do I have to survive?" Guan Yu turned around suddenly, raised his sword high, and shouted wildly, "Brothers, today is a day to die. Xuzhou's heroic soul, so what if he dies in battle?"

"Kill..." Dozens of personal guards raised their weapons high and roared at the same time.

Almost at the same time, there was a sudden and earth-shattering sound of war drums outside the city.The sound of the drums was like thunder, soaring straight into the sky.

Xun Yu, Dian Wei and hundreds of guards in the mansion all changed their colors in shock.

"Tell Cao Gou, if you don't hand over the man, I will immediately attack the city."

"What happened? How did this happen? How could that woman be Qin Chang's wife?" Xun Yu turned and stared at Dian Wei, asking angrily.

Dian Wei also understood the reason for Guan Yu's anger at this time.He shook his head in embarrassment, and whispered something in Xun Yu's ear.

Before Guan Yu led his army to leave Xuzhou, he wrote to Cao Cao again and again, asking him to send all the family members of Liu Bei and Xuzhou officials to his army, especially the family members of the generals who died in battle. When he arrived at Qin Chang's wife, he said that Qin Chang's wife was about to give birth, and hoped that Cao Cao would take care of her.Cao Cao and the family members of Yanzhou officials were all rescued by the Xuzhou army. Of course he would give this favor. He also specially sent a medical craftsman to visit Qin Chang's home.The medical craftsman told Cao Cao that Qin Chang's wife was beautiful and rare in the world.Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately asked Dian Wei to lead someone to bring Qin Chang's wife Du Shi to the prime minister's residence.When Cao Cao saw Du Shi, he was astonished as a man of heaven, and immediately coaxed Du Shi to tell Jian Yong that he was willing to stay in Pengcheng and not go to Yuzhou.Jian Yong knew it well, although he was very angry, he had no choice but to take Liu Bei and his family members out of the city in a hurry, lest Cao Cao would snatch a few more people who couldn't deal with him.

Cao Cao was very happy to have a new beauty. He once told Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others that when it came to the New Year, he wanted to treat them to a wedding wine.Xun Yu didn't take it seriously at the time, who knew that this woman was actually the wife of Qin Chang, an official in Xuzhou.

After listening to Dian Wei's words, Xun Yu was so angry that he was about to spit out blood.

"Master Guan, you misunderstood. Mrs. Qin is about to give birth, and the prime minister was worried about something happening, so he took her to the prime minister's mansion. I will go to the inner mansion to send Mrs. Qin out, please Mr. Guan leave the city immediately."

"Hmph..." Guan Yu sneered, and stabbed his knife into the ground, "I'll give you a moment. After a moment, if I don't see anyone, I will ask Cao Bao to lead the army to attack the city and wash Pengcheng with blood."

Of course Cao Cao knew why Guan Yu came.

"My lord, why did you do such a thing?" Xun Yu wanted to scold but couldn't say it, his face was ashen, "Give Madam Qin back to Guan Yu."

"What is Guan Yu? How dare he rob me of a woman?" Cao Cao lost face and was furious, "Immediately order Cao Chun, Xu Chu, Cai Yang, Wang Zhong, Cao Ang and others to lead their troops back to Pengcheng. Cut off Guan Yu."

"Guan Yu robbed you of a woman?" Xun Yu gave Cao Cao a disdainful look, and said angrily, "Guan Yu has been in Xuzhou for so many years, has he ever robbed a woman? Have you ever heard that he has a good sex? If he wants a woman, then His power, his family has long been crowded with wives and concubines, is there still a need to grab it? Qin Chang is a high official in Xuzhou and Guan Yu's subordinate. After he died in Pingyang Pavilion, Liu Bei and Guan Yu must of course be obliged to appease and protect him His family, this is a major event to win people's hearts and stabilize the morale of the army. If you rob Qin Chang's woman at this time, if Liu Bei and Guan Yu ignore it, what a heavy blow it will be to Xuzhou soldiers? Who will be willing to fight for Liu Bei and Guan Yu in the future? You have already captured Xuzhou, why do you still use such despicable means to insult Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and insult Xuzhou soldiers? What good will this do for you?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, pointed at Xun Yu and cursed, "Are you Liu Bei's subordinate or mine? Guan Yu is arrogant and lawless, so what if I kill him? Does Liu Bei still dare to lead the army to attack me?"

Xun Yu looked up to the sky and smiled miserably, feeling disheartened for a moment, staggered back, "Okay, okay, you go kill, you go kill. The big man is about to fall, you don't want to try your best to turn the tide, but you fight Liu Bei for a woman .The descendants of the eunuchs are short-sighted after all, thinking that they can rule the world with their own luck? You killed Guan Yu, are you still far away from death?"

Cao Cao was furious, "Xun Wenruo, how dare you scold me?"

Xun Yu shook his hand, turned around and left.

Cao Cao was furious, and he drew his sword and was about to charge forward.Cheng Yu, Mao Jie and others hurriedly stopped Cao Cao.

"My lord, Cao Bao's Danyang soldiers are just outside the city. Let's return that woman to Guan Yu first." Guo Jia heard the drums outside the city becoming more and more dense, and hurried around in a hurry. "Guan Yu took Liu Bei and many The family members of Xuzhou officials marched westward to Yuzhou together, and the marching speed must be very slow. Your Excellency has enough time to recruit troops to surround Guan Yu, so why rush at this moment?"

"My lord, what Feng Xiao said is right. Regardless of whether your lord besieges and kills Guan Yu, today is definitely not the right time." Cheng Yu also tried his best to persuade him.

Cao Cao was scolded by Xun Yu a few times. Although he was very angry, his mind cleared up a little. He waved at Cheng Yu, "Tell Wen Ruo to send that woman out of the city."

After Guan Yu rescued Qin Chang's wife, he immediately went out of the city to meet Cao Bao, and then rushed to Xiao County of Peiguo with his army.

At this time, the scouts reported back, and Cao Jun was chasing after him quickly.

Worried about being besieged by Cao Cao, Guan Yu ordered Jian Yong and Mi Zhu to lead the main force to rush southwestward and retreat directly to Runan to join Zhang Fei.He and Cao Bao led [-] Danyang soldiers to retreat westward to Liang State, intending to attract Cao Cao's pursuers to the Dangshan area.

Cao Cao, Cao Chun, Cao Ang, Dian Wei and others followed Guan Yu to Dangshan with five thousand pacers.

In the middle of the night, Guan Yu's ambush came out, Cao Jun was caught off guard, and was killed so badly that he was defeated.Under the protection of Cao Chun, Cao Cao desperately broke out of the encirclement.Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, fell off his horse in the scuffle and was hacked to death by Danyang soldiers.Guan Yu led the guards and cavalry to pursue and kill them.At the time of crisis, Dian Wei led his men back to block the enemy, and fought Guan Yu to the death. In the end, because he was outnumbered, he was nailed to the ground with a dozen spears by the powerful Danyang soldiers.

Cao Cao fled back to Xuzhou in embarrassment, full of regret.For a woman, he lost his beloved son and the hero, and died in the wilderness with thousands of steps, which is a big loss.

At the beginning of December, Cao Cao personally rushed to Xun Yu's mansion, apologized to him, and asked for a plan to attack Jiangdong.

For Cao Cao, it is difficult to guarantee survival by occupying only one Xuzhou. After all, Yanzhou and Qingzhou in the north are under the control of Li Hong. , Occupying the entire territory of Yangzhou has become the most urgent matter at present.

At this moment, Yan Xiang, Yuan Yao, Li Shu, Yuan Yin and others are fighting endlessly in Jiujiang and Lujiang counties, while Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are leading the army to attack Jingzhou. It is the best time to attack Yangzhou.

Xun Yu suggested that Cao Cao send people north to Yanzhou to discuss peace with Li Hong in secret, and at the same time assemble a large army to go south, taking advantage of the momentum and going down to kill Jiangdong.In addition, the Yellow River is about to freeze, and it is impossible for the Northern Army to start another war. You can write to Yuan Shao and ask Yuan Shao to contain the main force of the Northern Army in the direction of Henan under the pretext of attacking Jiangdong to relieve Jingzhou.As for Liu Bei in Yuzhou, we still have to be on guard, lest he send troops to attack Xuzhou while we are attacking Jiangdong.

Cao Cao immediately sent Mao Jie to secretly go north to Yanzhou to discuss peace with Li Hong.He sent Jia Xin to Yuzhou with heavy gifts, and reconciled with Liu Bei.The book told Yuan Shao to ask him to make a counter-offensive posture in Xingyang and Xuchang to contain the troops of the Northern Xinjiang Army.He took Guo Jia, Cao Chun, Cao Pi, Liu Xun and others to the south to join Xiahou Dun and Xiahouyuan, and prepared to attack Yangzhou.

Before Cao Cao rushed to the Huaishui River, the situation in Jiujiang County suddenly changed.

After Sun Ce and Zhou Yu killed Huang Zu in the battle of Jiangxia Shaxian (north of today's Jiayu County, Hubei), they wanted to march westward to attack Jiangling in one go, but they were stubbornly counterattacked by the Jingzhou army.Kuai Liang, Zhang Yun, Gan Ning and others led an army from Changsha and took Sha Xian back.Soon, Liu Biao also rushed to Jiangxia and personally supervised the attack.

When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu learned that Cao Cao had occupied Xuzhou, they were very worried that he would take the opportunity to go south to attack Jiangdong, so they sent Sun Ben, Sun Quan, and Lu Meng to lead the army back to Jiangdong and ordered them to take Jiujiang County before Cao Cao.

Li Shu, Yuan Yin and others received the support of the Jiangdong Army, and immediately joined forces to kill Shouchun.Yan Xiang and Yuan Yao couldn't hold on, and lost consecutive battles.In order to preserve their strength, Yuan Yao and Liu Ye led their troops to withdraw to the Anfeng area to temporarily avoid the front.Yan Xiang had no choice but to ask Cao Cao for help.

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan couldn't get what they wanted, so they crossed the river and severely damaged the Jiangdong Army in Xiquyang.Sun Ben and Sun Quan were caught off guard and fled in defeat.

The allied forces of Li Shu, Yuan Yin and Lu Meng attacked Shouchun.Yan Xiang couldn't resist, Shouchun City fell, and Yan Xiang, the governor of Yangzhou, was killed.

However, when the three of Li Shu had just entered Shouchun, Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun led their troops to surround Shouchun before they finished their celebration wine.

Cao Jun's attack was very violent.Yan Xiang's subordinates took the opportunity to launch a rebellion in the city and opened the city gate.Cao Jun rushed in.Li Shu, Yuan Yin, and Lu Meng led an army to break through, but Li Shu died in battle, Yuan Yin was captured, and only Lu Meng escaped with hundreds of soldiers.

Cao Jun took advantage of the victory and pursued, and captured the entire territory of Jiujiang County in a short period of time.Xiahou Dun commanded the army, and Chen Bing Liyang threatened Jiangdong.Cao Cao personally led a large force into Lujiang County.

Sun Ben and Lu Meng led their troops to defend to the death. At the same time, they rushed to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu for reinforcements.

At the end of December, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had to lead their troops out of Jiangxia when the Lujiang River was in an emergency and the Yangtze River waterway was very likely to be cut off by Cao Cao.Zhou Yu led his army to defend the area of ​​Chaisang and Pengze to resist the attack of Jingzhou army, while Sun Ce led his army to directly kill Lujiang.

During the New Year, Lujiang County was raging with war.

The three armies of Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Yuan Yao fought fiercely in Longshu, Shuxian and Juchao.

Liu Biao hated Sun Ce and Zhou Yu so much that he personally led the navy to attack Yuzhang County.There are many warships in Chaisang area, and the two sides come and go, fighting to the death.
