Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 440

"The general is mighty. This Guan Yu has always been known as the number one brave general who went abroad, and he is also Liu Bei's great general who went abroad. Today, General Zhao's defeat of Guan Yu is just for our army!" The deputy general congratulated Zhao Yun, and the surrounding soldiers also cheered. They all shouted and cheered.

Only Zhao Yun was frowning. He believed that Guan Yu had definitely not used his full strength just now.Suddenly retreating for some reason always gave Zhao Yun a very dangerous feeling.If he really reached the point where he could repel Guan Yu with a few moves, it would be fine, but now it is Guan Yu's own retreat, and Zhao Yun thinks there is a fraud in it.

"If it is reported to His Royal Highness at this time, after all, Guan Yu is the father-in-law of His Royal Highness, my behavior today... Forget it! The reward of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king. After all, Guan Yu is a general of the Chu Kingdom. Since I am a pioneer, I will Complete the accusation of the vanguard!" After hesitating for a while, Zhao Yun finally became firm and ordered to rest on the spot first.

"Come here, report what just happened to Coach Xue. Don't hide or brag, and report the truth!" Zhao Yun asked the scout leader to report the situation, and at the same time asked several other scouts to inform Yuwen Chengdu and Lu Yi's vanguard The team stopped marching.

There was something wrong with Guan Yu's retreat, and Zhao Yun worried that it was Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang's plan.

Guan Yu withdrew his troops, returned directly to Xinye City, returned to his residence and closed the gate.Taking off the consultation, Guan Yu exposed his arms with several scratches.

The strong muscles and body don't have too many scars, so the scratches on the arms are particularly eye-catching.

Xu Shu heard the news of Guan Yu's emergency retreat, and immediately rushed to Guan Yu's mansion to ask what happened.The original plan could wipe out Zhao Yun's Baima Yi from the entire army, Xu Shu didn't know why Guan Yu retreated privately.

But when Xu Shu just opened the door, he understood that he was willing, and Guan Yu made a decisive decision.

"General Guan, today..." Xu Shu pretended to be puzzled, but still wanted to ask about the situation.

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, without concealing or explaining, and said honestly: "The strategist's strategy is sound, but the premise is that Zhao Yun will fall into the trap. Today, Zhao Yun's weapon is powerful, and it can hurt me before it even touches half an inch in front of me. The morale of Bai Mayi is so strong, I am afraid that if he blindly lures them to the ambush, the soldiers will have been killed or injured."

There were not many explanations, but Guan Yu still avoided the fact that he thought he could not beat Zhao Yun.

Xu Shu was smart, he could understand from Guan Yu's meaning that Zhao Yun won the battle today.

This situation was beyond Xu Shu's expectations. If Yuwen Chengdu defeated Guan Yu, it would be reasonable.But now even Zhao Yun was able to overwhelm Guan Yu, which really shocked Xu Shu.

"General Guan, don't need to worry about it. After all, Zhao Zilong is wearing battle armor, and the general doesn't need heavy armor. He is at a disadvantage. Zhao Zilong's weapons are powerful, and the general is not defeated by martial arts. Today is not considered a defeat. General Guan is good at self-cultivation." Xu Shu dared not offend him. There was no need to stimulate Guan Yu, but he knew that Xinye couldn't take it anymore.

Originally, relying on Guan Yu's martial arts and the combat effectiveness of Baier's elite soldiers, coupled with the Liannu developed by Zhuge Liang, it could still compete with the Jin army.But Xinye is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Now that the right time, place and people are not in place, Xinye cannot be defended.

After leaving Guan Yu's residence, Xu Shu sighed helplessly, and ordered: "Get ready to withdraw your troops. Xinye can no longer be thinner, and withdraw south to guard the pass. The land of Xinye is barren, just take the talents and poor students away, and don't disturb the lives of the people. As for General Guan There, don’t say too much. I will send an order to General Guan tonight in the name of the king, and he will not insist on doing it his own way.”

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes, and really couldn't think of any other way to resist the Jin army.Since the Jin army wants Xinye, Xu Shu thinks it's better to avoid it.

In the early morning of the next day, all the guards in Xinye City were evacuated, and there were not many government departments and granaries left.Xu Shu only left food to prevent the people from famine, which was regarded as an act of benevolence and righteousness, and the people were threatened.

Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong came to the foot of Xinye City and saw that the city gate was closed and the Chu State flag was flying but there was no general guarding the city, so he became cautious again.

"General, order to attack the city! I think Xu Shu must be afraid of our Jin army, and has already abandoned the city first and fled!" The lieutenant was delighted in his heart.
Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes. He also thought it was necessary to try it out, but he was still worried that it would be dangerous.

"Okay! Then I'll give you [-] soldiers to test it out. If this is an empty city, remember your first contribution. If there is an ambush, quickly withdraw." Zhao Yun pointed at Xinye City and ordered the lieutenant to attack the city first. .

The lieutenant general was overjoyed, and he immediately ordered five hundred soldiers to attack the city with the ladder on their shoulders.

Under Zhao Yun's watchful eyes, five hundred soldiers climbed up the city tower with ease, and finally opened the city gate from the inside.

"Baima Yicong obeys the order! After entering the city, do not harass the people, and anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!" Zhao Yun let Baima Yicong enter the city to control each tower.

Xu Dujin in the palace in the evening
Sitting on the honorable seat in the Prince's Hall, Han Wu took a breath and rubbed his tired eyes.

"His Royal Highness, the frontline battle report, General Zhao Yun conquered Xinye, General Xue Rengui stationed troops in Xinye but did not advance." Guo Jia sent the battle report to Han Wu for him to read.

Cui Yan frowned, and couldn't help but said: "Since we can conquer Xinye in one fell swoop, why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it? A mere Xinye is not enough to mobilize the army. His Royal Highness, why don't you order General Xue Rengui to continue the southward attack, maybe you can conquer half of it?" A Jingzhou."

After Han Wu and Guo Jia heard Cui Yan's suggestion, they both shook their heads slightly, obviously not agreeing.

Han Wu frowned, and said: "Liu Bei has Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang, but Xu Shu is actually nothing. Xu Shu knows how to fight, how to fight, and how to use troops, but after all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Our army has many generals, and in the face of absolute strength, The strategy seems to be powerless. But Zhuge Liang is different. His conspiracy makes people have to guard against. Xu Shu's withdrawal must have a backup. In the name of the East Palace, Xue Rengui was ordered to guard Xinye for two months before deciding whether to go south. Violation of the order Even if they are meritorious, they will be dealt with by military law."

Han Wu narrowed his eyes, he thought it would be better not to take chances with Zhuge Liang.

Han Wu believes that Zhuge Liang's conspiracy must be guarded at all times.

Guo Jia showed a smile and complimented: "As expected of His Royal Highness! Xue Rengui had no military exploits before, so even the coach is very soft-spoken. In order to guarantee his merits, General Xue Rengui will not rush forward. If he calms down, he will not fall into the enemy's trap. Chu Jun Weak and weak, the Jin army will surely win."

Turning his head and smiling at Cui Yan, Guo Jia agreed with Han Wu's thoughts.

"Duke Cui, tell the world that Xinye is under the rule of Yanzhou. Send envoys who can endure humiliation to Xiangyang to persuade Liu Bei. Remember, you must endure humiliation and endure scolding! Zhuge Liang's eloquence is invincible in the world, so don't argue with him Right and wrong." Han Wu narrowed his eyes, and decided to continue weakening Liu Bei's strength by cannibalizing.
