Shu Han Confucian generals of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 36 Four-sided attack

"Eight-door golden lock array?"

Seeing this Shan Fu say the name of the other party's array, Guan Yu was finally a little impressed with him, so he knew that he absolutely didn't know it. Sir, are you sure this is an eight-door golden lock array? Guan Yu asked eagerly. Guan Yu attacked the enemy several times on this day. Guan Yu was really miserable. Every time he just went in, he was surrounded by enemies in all directions, which almost tired him to death. If Wen Ping hadn't rushed to kill with him for the last time, I'm afraid he would have to explain.

"It's the eight-door golden lock array. Today, the prince and marquis fought with the enemy. Shan Fu watched it on the high mountain on the left, and he was sure that it was undoubtedly the eight-door golden lock array." Shan Fu said with a smile. Although Guan Yu has always despised the scholar, when he saw Shan Fu's relaxed smile at this time, he couldn't help but have some confidence in him.

"Sir, if you know the enemy's formation, can there be a way to crack it?" Guan Yu asked directly, which is also the most fatal question!

"This battle is not difficult to break. It is said that the prince can send a man and horse to enter from the southeast corner and go out to the west, then the enemy will be in chaos. In addition, I see that Cao's army has not put all its troops into this eight-door golden lock array. The prince and marquis can send two more troops to cover up from both sides while the big array is broken, and they can break the enemy in one fell swoop!" Shan Fu said, and his tone was full of confidence.

"So that's it!" Guan Yu didn't understand this formation, and he was a little confused, but it seemed to make sense to think about it carefully. At the moment, he ordered everyone to come to the big account for discussion. After everyone arrived, Guan Yu told Shan Fu's plan in detail. Everyone felt that they were a living doctor when they heard it. Let's try it first.

"It's so good, Wenpin, you will lead 5,000 people to enter from the southeast corner tomorrow." Guan Yu still gave this most important task to martial arts second only to his own Wenpin.

"The last general leads the order!" Wenpin answered with a fist. In fact, this expedition finally made some idle and even idle Wenpin have a place to use. Moreover, by fighting side by side on the battlefield, Wenpin gradually integrated into Guan Yu's circle, unlike the past. Although everyone did not know, Wenpin always felt that the word Jingzhou seemed to be written on his forehead.

"Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, each of you has a rate of 7,000. Seeing the red flag of the Chinese army waving, he immediately killed from both sides. Guan Yu continued to arrange the road.

"The last general leads the order!" Liao Hua and Zhou Cang also agreed in unison. At this moment, a scout came back to report and saw that Shan Fu, a living person, was in the account but did not dare to speak.

"This is Mr. Shan. It's okay to say something!" Guan Yu was happy to pretend to be generous. Shan Fu smiled when he heard the words, and the scout immediately reported: "General, now the Lord is fighting with Cao's army under the city of Pei. The lord won a little victory, and Cao's army retreated 20 miles to the north.

"Good!" Guan Yu was also overjoyed to hear that Liu Bei won: "When we break Cao Hong tomorrow, we can join the eldest brother to destroy Cao Qian." For a while, everyone in the account also temporarily came out of the shadow of the daytime defeat.

The next morning, Guan Yu ordered the whole army to advance. If you can't go for miles, explore the horse to report, and Cao Hong in front of him led the army to stop the way. Act according to Mr. Shan's plan!" Guan Yu passed the order, so Wenpin and Zhou Cang and others acted separately. Shan Fu was half-invited and half-invited by Guan Yu to stay by his side. After all, he had the heart to defend people.

The three-way people and horses were killed from the middle army of Guan Yu's army. Wenpin first led the army into the southeast corner of the opponent, and then went to Jingmen in the northeast corner. At this time, Cao Jun's formation suddenly became chaotic, first in the southeast corner, and then the whole formation became more and more chaotic.

"Stand steady!" Cao Hong, who was commanding and responding to the Chinese army, saw something wrong and quickly sent an order to stabilize it. At this time, Zhou Cang and Liao Hua had also launched a large army to kill Cao Hong from both sides. At this time, Cao Hong was in a hurry.

The way of formation is actually to seek effective cooperation between large armies, so as to cause more and less in local areas, and then accumulate small victories as big victories. But if you are seen through by the eryou and focus on your weak links, you will lose faster than not going to follow the formation. Cao Ren is like this, and so is Cao Hong. Seeing that Wen Ping, Liao Hua and other three armies had stirred up his own military array, Cao Hong knew that the general trend had gone, so he had to lead the remnants of Ma to leave the State of Lu.

"Mr.'s plan is really wonderful!" Seeing that the eight golden lock arrays that gave him a headache yesterday collapsed like destruction. Guan Yu also thanked Shan Fu with a spring breeze, and ordered to clean the battlefield as soon as possible and speed up the march.

"I don't know how to prepare for the next step?" Shan Fu was still relatively calm, just smiled and asked Guan Yu about his next plan.

"Naturally, it is better to go to Peiguo to meet the eldest brother than Cao's decisive battle!" Guan Yu had a natural expression on his face.

"Ha ha, Junhou. Shanfu has a plan, so that the prince and Liu Xijun don't need to fight vigorously, and Cao Yan can have no place to hide!" Shan Fu then talked about the plan in detail. Guan Yu nodded repeatedly and was convinced.

"Zhou Cang, how many prisoners have been killed and how many prisoners have been captured?" Guan Yu saw that the battlefield was almost cleaned up, so he quickly asked Zhou Cang.

"Junhou, the enemy has been injured by about 7,000, and more than 4,000 prisoners have been captured. The specific number is still being count." Zhou Cang replied honestly.

"There is no need to count. All the prisoners have been released." Guan Yu waved his hand, and then whispered to Zhou Cang, who was stunned, "Go and choose a thousand strong school swordsmen, peel off their armor from the body of Cao's army and change them, and mix in the prisoners to open the gate of the State of Lu. I will lead the army to catch up later."

"Zhou Cang understands!" Zhou Cang was stunned and suddenly understood what Guan Yu meant, and he didn't mention the arrangement of people when he went down.

More than 4,000 Cao army prisoners had already been confiscated for weapons, so they were almost stripped of their armor. They were all surrounded by the guarded Yuzhou army and squatted in a circle. The fate of prisoners in war is often very tragic. If they are lucky, they will be collected or dismissed. If they are unlucky, they will be slaughtered collectively.

Just as the prisoners of the Cao army were worried about their own fate, a lieutenant of the Yuzhou army came over and shouted, "My prince's house is kind-hearted and doesn't want to hurt people's lives. Now he's going to fight with Cao, and you guys can't take care of it. Get out of here!" This man's voice was not small. Although it was in the wilderness, more than half of the four thousand prisoners heard it clearly, and they were in an uproar for a while.

"Huh?" The prisoners of the Cao army saw that all the Yuzhou army really retreated to the Pei Kingdom in the east, and did not even leave anyone to take care of them. Only then did they believe that Guan Yu really let them go. Suddenly, they were very happy. Many people knelt on the ground and thanked Guan Yu for not killing. After that, most of them decided to go to the State of Lu to join General Cao Hong. For the rest of their lives after the disaster, they didn't notice that there were more strange faces around them.

In the city of Lu, Cao Ren was relatively speechless when he saw Cao Hong who was as embarrassed as himself. On the contrary, the general Li Dian didn't care about himself, and he could comfort him in a word or two, and then ordered a banquet for the two of them to suppress the shock. Cao Ren and Cao Hong were also depressed, and now they were a little confused.

After three rounds of drinking, someone suddenly came to report: "General Li, two Generals Cao, a large number of us suddenly came to the city, saying that they were General Zilian's people. They had just been released by Guan Yu and were about to enter the city."

"Huh?" Cao Ren and Cao Hong were stunned, and Li Dian felt even more inconceivable: "How could he release the prisoners for nothing?"

"Look at it!" Cao Hong suggested that the three of them would not drink anymore and hurried to the city to see what was going on. Not long after, the three of them came to the city. Sure enough, there were a large number of Cao soldiers under the city, and almost all of them were unarmed.

"How did you come back?" Cao Ren asked first, and the soldiers in the city replied, "General Cao, Guan Yu said that he was going to Peiguo to fight with the Prime Minister, so he couldn't take care of us, so he let us go!"

"Will it be like this?" Cao Ren felt a little strange. At this time, Li Dian asked, "Zilian, see if there is anyone you know. Is it the army you led? Don't be fooled by Guan Yu.

"It's really my man!" Cao Hong looked down at a glance and there were indeed many familiar faces. Not only him, but also many other soldiers in the city recognized the people they knew well. For a while, the acquaintances in the city kept saying hello, and it was very lively.

"Guan Yu has always been arrogant. He must have disdained these pawns, so he let them go." Li Dianban said his thoughts speculatively. Cao Ren and Cao Hong nodded repeatedly and felt that it was very reasonable.

"Since you are your own people, just open the door and let them in!" Cao Ren immediately preached the order. So they put the suspension bridge and opened the gate. After a busy job, thousands of people under the city began to enter the city one after another.

However, when about half of the people came in, some people in the crowd suddenly got into trouble. They, who seemed to be unarmed, suddenly took out a few feet of knives from the armor around their waist and slashed at the other Cao soldiers. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden chaos at the gate of the city.

"What's going on?" Cao Hong and others on the head of the city saw clearly and did not deal with it. At this time, a black line also appeared in the far wilderness outside the city. Li Dian and others suddenly changed their faces. After a long time in the battlefield, they knew that a large army had come over.

"Puntle the suspension bridge!" Cao Hong is in a hurry. But at this time, the gate of the city was already in a mess. Although the Cao army at the top of the city also began to help clean up the fake prisoners, the chaos was so easy to deal with. Cao Hong and Cao Ren watched desperately that the chaos in the city was still continuing, and the suspension bridge could not be pulled, but the enemy was getting closer and closer.

Finally, the enemy in the distance came to the city. The first person was red-faced, green-robbed and golden armor. It was Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang. Cao's army was invincible wherever he went. Come on, General Cao!" Li Dian looked at Cao Hong and Cao Ren, who had been hit by this sudden change, and hurriedly asked them to run away before Guan Yu's army had fully entered the city.

"Let's go!" Cao Ren took a look at the city. There were more and more Yuzhou soldiers rushing into the city. Although the defenders of the State of Lu also had nearly 20,000, a large part of them were defeated by themselves and Cao Hong. At this time, they were suddenly attacked like frightened birds surrendering one after another. Cao Ren only took a look and knew that the general trend was gone. At present, he no longer held on. Together with Cao Hong and Li Dian, he led a small number of elite soldiers out of the west gate and went to Cao Qian's army under the city of Pei.

"Sir, it's really a wonderful idea!" Guan Yu rode the red rabbit horse proudly into the city of Lu, and the folds on his face were rippling with a smile on his face. He was the single blessing for him. I'm flattered. I don't know what's going on in the west?" Shan Fu said modestly, and then asked again.

"Mi Zifang of the State of Liang originally had 8,000 defenders, and I ordered Wenpin to lead 10,000 horses to help him defend the city. Now Cao Yan is the eldest brother in the east, Liang in the west, Pei in the south, and us in the north. Unless he can fly, he will never escape!" Guan Yu is also full of ambition.

"That's good. I guess Cao Wei's food and fodder will be gone soon!" Shan Fu added a sentence with deep meaning. Guan Yu was stunned, and then burst into a more cheerful laughter.
