Chapter 85 Guan Yu's Crisis

When Sun Shao took Pound's arrow, he knew that Pound seemed to be brave, but in fact he was on the verge of collapse. No matter how strong he was, after a day and night of fighting, he could not be as energetic as him who came all the way by boat. Although he let Pound eat and drink a little, it was just a look, and he didn't do it all night. Sleep, the consumption of physical strength can't be made up for by a meal.

So he did all the superficial articles and used more than a hundred lives to trap Pound, so he put on a posture. Pound has been fighting for many years. Of course, he knows his physical condition very well. Sun Shao can catch his arrow and shoot his bow accurately. In addition, he has fought against a fierce man like Zhang Liao. His skills must not be bad. If he can't fight quickly and solve Sun Shao in a few moves, he will have no chance at all. Yes.

It's better to defeat the enemy with one move.

Pound held the long knife in his right hand, and his left hand quietly wrapped it behind him. He pulled out the pat and held it back in his hand. The one-foot and five-inch blade was close to his arm. He felt a little embarrassed. He challenged him openly, but he wanted to play such a shady trick, which was really not on the stage. But if he couldn't play Yin at the moment, he was really not sure to defeat Sun Shao. The situation was urgent, and he could only do so. He didn't want to kill Sun Shao either. He just wanted to capture Sun Shao and force him to let him go.

But he soon found that he had miscalculated.

Just as he was ready, Sun Shao, who had a bright smile and was modest and polite, suddenly changed his face. His eyes were bright and murderous. He launched the attack first. He clenched the sword with both hands, raised it high above his head, and roared wildly. The sword split his head, and a flash of cold light had arrived in front of him. Pound didn't dare to neglect and raised his knife to fight. Generally speaking, Sun Shao holds the knife in both hands, and the force must be very strong. He should also hold the knife in both hands, but there is a pat hidden in his left hand. There is no time to change his hand eagerly, so he can only hold the knife with one hand and flirt.

One hand, one hand, one hand, as soon as he touched, he cut the top and bottom. Sun Shao cut Pang De's knife fiercely, shaking the long knife crooked. The original plan to turn around and stab Sun Shao's neck after opening the knife could not be implemented at all, and his arm was numb by Sun Shao's knife. Pang De took a step back to the side. Sun Shao was powerful, and the long knife slammed again. In one breath, he split thirteen knives in a row and pressed step by step, forcing Pound to passively fight, and there was no chance to fight back at all.

After the thirteen knives were split, Pound's half of his body had lost consciousness, and the two long knives could not help but withstand the continuous slams. With a "click", it broke into four pieces. With a flash of the knife, the half of the blade in Sun Shao's hand had been placed on Pound's neck. Then he withdrew, held the knife upside down with both hands, and bowed: "Give way."

Everything was only in the midst of lightning. Not only was Pound stunned there, but all the people next to him were stunned. No one expected that Sun Shao looked very gentle. When he started, he was so violent. The offensive was as fierce as a huge wave, which made people breathless. Pound didn't even have a chance to fight back. He was defeated by him.

The boat was silent. Pound was as dumb as a wooden chicken. His hand was loosened, and the half of the long knife in his right hand and the sniper hidden in his left hand fell on the deck. Shuai Zeng took a look and immediately shouted, "Wow, you are a barbarian. You look quite bold. I didn't expect to want to make a trick. My general did this to you, how dare you want to do something wrong?

Pound was embarrassed and speechless.

Sun Shaoyi raised his hand and stopped Shuai Zeng, who wanted to shout: "On the battlefield, there is nothing wrong with doing anything. Don't talk nonsense." He turned to Chenghe and others and said, "Guys, the victory and defeat have been divided. General Pang is going to stay in our camp for half a year. Please feel free to go wherever you go. However, I have a ruthless request. People who return to Yecheng, please make the situation here clear to Mr. Cao. When he knows that General Pang did not surrender, but just kept his promise. After half a year, he will naturally go back to serve Mr. Cao. Please don't embarrass General Pang's family.

Chenghe and others sighed. Pang De wanted to plot against Sun Shao. Although it was justic, he didn't do it openly enough after all. Sun Shao not only didn't care about him, but also thought of him and asked people to send a message to Cao to avoid causing trouble to Pang De. In contrast, Sun Shao was simply too gentlemanly.

"General Pang, do you think there is anything else to say?" Sun Shao said to Pound with a smile, "If you have no problem, I will let them go."

Pound looked up and sighed: "Pang De's prisoner, how dare you have any opinions? Just listen to the general's orders."

Sun Shao laughed and immediately ordered to let him go. Of the more than 100 people, only more than 20 are leaving, and the rest are willing to stay with Pound. Cheng He saluted in front of Pound: "General, please rest assured that I will report the situation here to Cao Gong to keep the general's family safe. Cheng He is waiting for the general to return safely in Ye City.

"It's your hard work." Pound returned the gift. After worshipping again, more than 20 people also came forward to salute in turn, and then got off the ship and left.

Sun Shao took Pang De back to Guan Yu's camp. Guan Yu was gathering in the tent. Yu Jin and others knelt in front of him awkwardly. Sun Gao and others sat on both sides and were looking at Guan Yu with envious and unwilling eyes. Guan Yu ignored them at all. As soon as he saw Sun Shao coming in, he smiled and said, "How, you can you capture him. "?"

Sun Shao bowed and said with a smile, "No."

Guan Yu was stunned and a little disappointed: "Run away?"

"No, either."

Guan Yu was confused. Sun Shao turned around and let Pound in. He smiled and said, "I competed with General Pang. If I lose, I will let him go. If I win, he will be a guest by my side for half a year, and then go freely for half a year later. I was lucky enough to win General Pang's half move, so he neither left nor surrendered now.

Guan Yu laughed dumbly and raised his hand, but he didn't know what to say. He thought for a moment and said, "Since you have decided, that's it. Pang Lingming, you lost to my son-in-law. What else do you have to say now?

Pound rolled his eyes and turned sideways, ignoring Guan Yu at all. Guan Yu was furious. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was about to get angry. He just defeated Yu Ban. It was the time when he was proud. It was already good that he didn't look for Pound's trouble. How could he allow a defeated general to be arrogant in front of him?

As soon as Sun Shao saw that the situation was not right, he quickly stepped forward and smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, I have an appointment with General Pang first. I can't force him to do anything for half a year, as long as he doesn't leave, so..."

"What kind of condition is this?" Guan Yu glanced at Sun Shao and was so angry that he didn't know what to say. However, looking at Sun Shao's flattering appearance with a smiling face, he couldn't bear to lose his face in front of everyone. He resisted his unhappiness, snorted and waved his hand: "I know, go out and wait."

"Alas." Sun Shao was not annoyed by Guan Yu's attitude at all. He answered and arched his hand to Pang happily: "General Pang, please."

Pound glanced at Guan Yu again, and then said faintly, "I lost to General Sun, not to you. What are you proud of?" After saying that, he made a big step to pay the bill.

Guan Yu was stunned and couldn't help claping on the case. The heavy case could not withstand his slap, and it was broken in two parts on the spot, and the books on the case were thrown everywhere. Everyone was shocked. Guan Ping and Yin Guan hurried forward to persuade them. Sun Yao and others looked at each other. Hao Zhou and others were even more scared and pale and shuddered all over. They were afraid that Guan Yu would push them out and cut them all down in anger.

Yu Ban's face was also ugly, but many years of military career still made him control his emotions and did not show much panic. It's just that his heart is actually full of mixed feelings. Before leaving, someone said that Pound's old owner, Ma Chao, was in Yizhou and worried that Pound would have a different mind. At that time, Pound said that if I couldn't kill Guan Yu this time, I would be killed by Guan Yu. After starting the battle, Pound did not hesitate to fight with Guan Yu several times. Whether it was courage or force, he had been recognized by the generals in the camp. Now he has surrendered to Yu Yu. Although Pound did not kill Guan Yu, he did not surrender after all, and he can be so arrogant in front of Guan Yu. Compared with him, it is simply the same as heaven and earth. Pang De is just a general, but he is Cao Gong's cronies in one hand. The status of the two can't be said to each other. If this spreads to Ye City and to Cao Gong's ears, what does Cao Gong think?

Yu's forbidden thoughts were ups and downs, regretful and ashamed, but he didn't notice Guan Yu's anger. Just as everyone thought that Guan Yu was going to order the killing of Pang De, Guan Yu, who was angry, suddenly smiled. He sat down again and glanced at Sun Gao and Yin Guan and other people, "Pang De is stubborn and stubborn. He doesn't even pay attention to Guan. Except for Feng Xian, no one can cure him."

Sun was stunned, but Yin Guan immediately understood Guan Yu's intention and said with a echoed smile, "I think that although General Sun is not the son of the general, he has the style of a general, and it is quite similar to Zhang Brazil (Zhang Fei) in those years."

When Zhao Lei and others heard this, they realized that Guan Yu was making his son-in-law famous. One by one, they quickly echoed, which made Guan Yu smile. The original embarrassing scene suddenly became a witness of everyone's righteousness. Sun Gao smiled bitterly. The two son-in-law sang together and cooperated with each other. Sun Shao led troops and food to help Guan Yu. Guan Yu made Sun Shao famous in front of everyone and suppressed them. In fact, he didn't know at all that although Sun Shao's troops were insufficient, he had already suppressed them and did not need him to make them famous at all.

"Kong Xiu, go and arrange it and let Fengxian put the camp on my right side." Guan Yu said to Yin Guan, "Arrange a banquet. Let's welcome the allies from Jiangdong, and then discuss how to attack Fancheng."

Yin's point of view should be that he turned around and made a big account.

Sun Shao returned to the big account and introduced Pang De to Cui Qian, Yue Hai and others. They came forward one by one to salute Pang De and did not treat him as a general, but as a teacher. Pang De is more than 50 years old. Except for Yu Fan, Sun Shao's men are mostly young and middle-aged. Pound was a little embarrassed that they were so polite. Although he did not surrender, there was no substantial difference from surrender after all. Sun Shao gave him face. He couldn't go too much and return the salute one by one. Sun Shao kept his promise and arranged a place to live for him, but he didn't ask him anything more. Yuehai and others were a little puzzled, but if Sun Shao didn't say anything, it was not easy for them to ask more questions, and they could only keep their doubts in their hearts. However, they believe that Sun Shao must have his reason for doing things. Not to mention it now, it must not be the time to talk about it.

In the evening, after a reception banquet, Guan Yu left Sun Shao in the big tent. Weng's son-in-law sat opposite each other, drinking sobering tea, and talked about Zuo Chuan Chunqiu's knowledge. Guan Yu's knowledge has soared during this period, and Sun Shao has relatively not made much effort, but he is a little clumsy.

"First of all, you can't slack off on learning." Guan Yu reminded, "Although you are busy, can you still be too busy with me? Cao Mengde said that he had a lot of opportunities. He had a little free time and couldn't let go of his hand. I heard that Sun Zhongmou was also good at studying. If you want to make some achievements, you can't relax.

Sun Shao smiled and said that you were really poisoned by books. This thing was a stepping stone when you were not an official. I'm a post-general now. What's the use of him? He nodded: "My father-in-law's lesson is. However, I think Mencius is right. It's better to write without books than to write. Sometimes it's more practical to break away from the words on the paper and open your eyes to see this more real history.

Guan Yu hesitated for a moment and smiled at Sun Shao, but actually said with a worried look, "What on earth do you want to say?"

"My father-in-law, do you dare to ask what you plan to take down Fancheng?" Sun Shao put down the teacup and asked slowly.

"After taking Fancheng, of course, take all Nanyang, and then attack Xu County and Luoyang." Guan Yu answered without thinking.

"So... is it your main attack, or our Jiangdong army's main attack, or go hand in hand?"

"Of course, it's my main attack." Guan Yu smiled and said, "Do you still have to compete with me?"

Sun Shao smiled bitterly: "My father-in-law, what should I fight for? However, have you ever thought about what Sun Zhuo and others are here for?

Guan Yu lowered his face, stared at Sun Shao for a long time, and sneered: "I knew that Sun Quan sent you here, not just to help me." He put down the teacup, and Sun Shao quickly picked up the teapot from the side and gave him some water. Guan Yu looked at the attentive Sun Shao. Although he was unhappy with Sun Quan's idea, he couldn't bear to turn back Sun Shao's face. He pondered for a long time: "What benefits does Sun Quan want?"

Sun Shao did not answer him immediately. He was very worried about the mentality shown in Guan Yu's words. Guan Yu just defeated Yu's army. He hasn't taken Fancheng yet. It's still a long way from taking all of Nanyang. What's more, he still needs Jiangdong to provide military food. Yu Ban's surrendered. His food pressure did not decrease but increased. At this time, don't talk about it in a low voice, at least be polite. He directly regarded Jiangdong's army as a matter of it. I'm afraid it's not for Sun Shao's sake. If it were Sun Zhuo's appearance, it would be difficult to guarantee whether he would kick Sun Zhuo out.

"How many soldiers and how much food does my father-in-law have now?"

A cold light flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, and his anger was gone. He straightened up and his expression became very cold. He stroked his long beard and said faintly, "Why, Sun Quan is going to cut off my food?"

"If so, what is your father-in-law going to do?" Sun Shao also straightened up and met Guan Yu's eyes without fear: "Go back to attack Jiangdong?"

Guan Yu was stunned by his question. He was going to say so, but since Sun Shao said so, it shows that Jiang Dong is mentally prepared. He suddenly became angry. He was fighting with Cao Jun, but Sun Quan, who was an ally, was preparing to attack him. This kind of thing was intolerable to him. Even if Sun Shao was his son-in-law, he could not accept it.

"My father-in-law returned to attack Jiangdong. Who will attack Nanyang? With my father-in-law's current strength, can we start a war on both sides? If no one attacks Nanyang, will the Cao Guild withdraw its troops? When can we solve the danger of Liu's envoy?

Guan Yu blushed with anger. He lowered his voice and shouted angrily, "Are you threatening me?"

"My father-in-law, I'm not threatening you, I'm just reminding my father-in-law that it's time for Liu Xijun to be in danger. I dare to ask my father-in-law, is it important for you to make contributions or to solve the problem?

"Do you need to say that? Of course, it is important to solve the problem. Guan Yu shouted unhappily, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't know the importance? If Liu Shijun and I are brothers, we don't know each other. We don't need to use credit to keep my position.

"In this case, why does my father-in-law have to pay attention to credit?" Sun Shao said, "The purpose is to attract Cao Gong from Bashu. What's the difference between father-in-law's credit or ours?"

"Hey hey hey..." Guan Yu suddenly laughed: "Fengxian, you think it's too simple. Sun Quan is not only thinking about credit. He is thinking about land. The purpose of credit is just to occupy more places. I can take credit, but I can't let them occupy Nanyang. In the 19th year of Jian'an, he took advantage of Liu Shijun's victory in Yizhou and sent troops to attack on an unstable opportunity, and abruptly took Changsha and Guiyang from me. I haven't calculated this account with him until today. Is he going to take advantage of the fire again now? Does he want Nanyang or Nanjun? He can't send troops for nothing. Should I work in vain? People should be content. If they are greedy, I'm afraid that they can't eat it and will chode.

Sun Shao almost got angry and fell ill. Who is greedy enough? Guan Yu is too self-centered. In terms of opinion, since Sun Liu cooperated to fight against Cao in the 13th year of Jian'an, Jiangdong has always been relatively restrained. On the contrary, Liu Bei - and Guan Yu in front of him - has been very unkind. If they hadn't repeatedly gone back on their backs, why would Sun Quan send troops to rob Changsha and Guiyang? Although Sun Shao didn't have a good impression on Sun Quan, he felt that Sun Quan had done nothing wrong at this point.

But now it's not the time to distinguish between right and wrong. Guan Yu is obviously a little unreasonable. More importantly, he still feels that he is very reasonable and doesn't realize how dangerous his mentality is now. If it goes on like this, the rupture of the Sun and Liu alliance will be inevitable again. The history of Lv Meng crossing the river in white will definitely be repeated, but it may be in another way.

Sun Shao was a little frustrated. He tried his best to persuade Sun Quan to send troops to Jianghuai. Sun Quan began to be very happy. Later, after thinking about it, he repented. He came to help Guan Yu fight Nanyang, hoping to use his identity to promote this excellent opportunity for the Northern Expedition, but at the beginning, he met Guan Yu's roadblock. Guan Yu obviously did not correct his position. He did not know that his defeat to the ban was largely an accidental factor. If he could not deal with the relationship with Jiangdong well, he could not only not take Fan Cheng, but also might be blackhanded by Sun Quan. He let Guan Feng sit in Jiangling, and ruled out the unstable factor of Mu Fang in advance, but can this turn the world around?

I thought too much about it. The replacement of Mi Fang with Guan Feng only increased the difficulty of Sun Quan's sneak attack at most, but it may not change the result. With the wisdom of Lv Meng and others, they must be able to come up with a way. They can rely on their understanding of the general situation to be strategically wary, but tactically it is impossible to do it. The most troublesome thing for him is that Guan Yu did not realize that he had stepped on the ghost door with one foot, and he also pushed him into an awkward situation. .

Sun Shao took a lot of effort to show his anger. He drank tea silently and finally made up his mind: "In this case, how is his father-in-law going to arrange the war against Fancheng?"

Guan Yu glanced at Sun Shao. Although Sun Shao was very calm, his long silence made Guan Yu feel his dissatisfaction. He asked, "What do you think?"

Sun Shao originally planned to let Guan Yu rest for a while, and he and Sun Zhuo came to attack the city. In this way, the Jiangdong army made contributions, and Guan Yu could also take the opportunity to rest. However, Guan Yu's current mentality forced him to change his plan. If he did not let Guan Yu hit a nail in the face of the harsh reality, he might never be able to win this victory. Come here clearly. He looked up at Guan Yu: "If my father-in-law takes it alone, how long will it take to capture Fancheng?"

Guan Yu was on fire. Sun Shao's words were forcing him to give in. He sneered: "Fancheng has been flooded. At most, the city wall will collapse in three months. I won't fight around, and Cao Ren can't run away."

Sun Shao didn't say anything, just crooked his mouth. Guan Yu was also a little embarrassed. Although he spoke hard, he knew that he didn't have three months to attack Fancheng at all. Liu Bei was waiting for him to save his life. If you know that he wasted time because of the dispute of interests, even if Liu Bei escaped in the end, I'm afraid some people will say that he doesn't know how to take care of the overall situation. He thought for a moment and gave a step: "In ten days, if I can't capture Fancheng, Fancheng is yours."

Sun Shao nodded and said without saying, "I'm waiting for my father-in-law's good news."

"It doesn't matter." Guan Yu had a gloomy face, and all his previous good feelings for Sun Shao were swept away. He suppressed his anger: "Just please restrain your men first. Don't make things that violate military discipline. At that time, everyone's faces will not look good."

"Don't worry, my father-in-law, I can cook this by myself." Sun Shao smiled and said, "In addition, I can also guarantee to my father-in-law that within ten days, I can guarantee that your military food supply is safe."

"Thank you very much, son-in-law." Guan Yu said something, brushed his sleeves and left, leaving Sun Shao alone in the big tent. Sun Shao smiled helplessly and got up and left. As soon as he got out of the big tent, Yin Guan greeted him. He opened his mouth and was about to speak. Looking at Sun Shao's face, he immediately felt an ominous feeling: "General, don't you talk... well?"

"It's okay." Sun Shaoqiang smiled and said, "My father-in-law is going to capture Fancheng within ten days, and please ask Mr. Kong Xiu for more advice."

"Within ten days?" Yin Guan's face suddenly turned white.
