Chapter 59 Sun Caohe defeated Liu Bei and Nan Ye asked Sun Quan 8
Yanzhou is located between Henan and the two states, connecting the two states. Sima Yi sent troops to besiege Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu got the news earlier than Liu Bei. Liu, Guan and Zhang are brothers and sisters, and they are friends of life and death. Isn't it urgent for Guan Yu to learn that Zhang Fei is trapped? But no matter how anxious Guan Yu was, he would not dare to leave Yanzhou to save Zhang Fei without Liu Bei's order.
Since Nanye moved to more than half of the population of Yanzhou, Yanzhou has become vast and sparsely populated, and there are many rich households. A small population means that it is not easy to recruit troops for defense, and a large number of rich people means that they make huge profits after occupation. Yanzhou is like a beautiful woman without clothes on the street, which is extremely easy to attract people to commit crimes. The reason why no one dares to invade this beauty is because the relevant feathers guard it. Guan Yu was worried that he would leave Yanzhou, and Cao Pi and Sun Quan's soldiers and horses would arrive.
Knowing that his brother was being surrounded and beaten, he couldn't go to help. This impatience made it difficult for Guan Yu to sleep and eat. In a few days, Guan Yu's mouth became blisters and his eyes became dark.
Yi Ji, who is in charge of government affairs, saw that Guan Yu was so anxious and persuaded him every day. But can this urgent fire be stopped by a few good words? After a long time, Guan Yu, who was in excellent health, fell ill. This made Yi Ji even more panicked and hurriedly asked the doctor for treatment.
There is a saying that it is difficult to treat a heart disease. Guan Yu can't get into the medicine stone, and the tea and rice are lazy, which makes the doctors who came to see the doctor frown. In fact, without a doctor, even Yi Ji can see that Guan Yu is caused by a sudden attack. There is no serious disease, but there is no medicine to cure.
An old doctor said to Yi Ji, "Heart disease still needs a mental medicine doctor. If you can complete General Guan's heart, or find someone to persuade the general, General Guan will heal himself without medicine.
Iji knew that Guan Yu's intention was to send troops to save Zhang Fei. And I'm afraid Liu Bei is the only one who can persuade Guan Yu. But whether it is sending troops or inviting Liu Bei, it is not the Yi nationality to make the decision, and he can't even notify Liu Bei. Because Guan Yu was afraid that Liu Bei would know that he was worried about his illness, he ordered not to spread the matter. In this way, Yi Ji could only watch Guan Yu lose weight day by day. It was not until he heard that Chen sent troops to win that Guan Yu was better, but he did not recover.
Just when Yi Ji was worried, Xun Xun came with Liu Bei's military order. As soon as Yi Ji saw Xun and the military order, he cried with excitement and pulled Xun Qian and said, "Friends let me wait so hard! If you come later, I'm afraid the second general won't be able to do it.
Xun was shocked when he heard the words and hurriedly asked, "What happened to the second general?"
Yi Ji pulled Xun Qian to Guan Yu's room while telling the story, which surprised Xun again. When the two came to Guan Yu's room, Xun Qian saw Guan Yu's eyes sinking deeply and lying on the sickbed, and the room was full of the smell of medicine.
Guan Yu heard someone enter the house and didn't open his eyes. He just said, "Take the medicine away!" I can't use this medicine!"
Yi Ji knew that Guan Yu regarded himself as a maid serving him, so he went to the couch and whispered, "Second General, your majesty sent Mr. Ruo."
Guan Yu's eyes widened when he heard the words, and there seemed to be an electric light in the room. Yi Ji felt a murderous atmosphere coming to his face. Guan Yu scolded angrily, "I have issued a military order. Don't spread my condition, so as not to take the opportunity to attack Cao Pi and Sun Quan. How can my brother know?"
Xun knew that Guan Yu, who usually squinted his eyes, was really angry and wanted to kill people. He hurried forward and said, "Second General, I'm not here to visit the doctor, but your majesty's order to order the second general to rise up and fight against Cao with Zhou Gongjin in Eastern Wu to relieve the siege of the state."
When Guan Yu heard that it was not an Iraqi leak, but that he wanted to send troops to attack Cao. At that time, he was overjoyed and sat up from the couch and said, "Sir, why didn't you say it earlier!" I'm going to order troops!"
Xun Qian and Yi Ji hurriedly stopped Guan Yu and said, "The second general's health is important! It's not too late to rise up after recovering from illness!"
Guan Yu raised a thin quilt and said, "I'm cured!" Don't worry!" After saying that, he has to go out of the house to order troops.
Yi Ji was very happy to see Guan Yu's spirit come back, but he didn't dare to let Guan Yu overwork, so he persuaded him, "The second general is not in a hurry to send troops. It's better to have a meal first, and then it's not too late to order troops."
Xun also advised: "Your Majesty specially ordered me to be a military division to help the second general. I'm the only one who can do the whole army. The second general should take care of his health, otherwise how can he kill the enemy before the battle?
Guan Yu stood up and felt that his legs were a little weak. So he ordered to prepare wine and food and let Xun and Yi Ji replace the army. When Guan Yu had some strength after eating, Xun Yu and Yi Ji also returned with all the troops. So Guan Yu was about to set up again.
Yi Ji persuaded Guan Yu to stop, so he looked at Xun. Xun thought for a moment and said, "It's inconvenient to march late today. The second general might as well leave tomorrow. When I was leaving, Your Majesty had some instructions that I would talk to the second general in detail tonight.
As soon as Guan Yu heard that Liu Bei still had arrangements, he stopped insisting on sending troops. He invited Xun Xu into the study and asked anxiously, "I don't know what instructions my brother has?"
Xun said, "Your Majesty ordered the two generals to send troops this time to relieve the siege of the state, not to get the land of Cao Wei. In order to invite Sun Quan to send troops to help, His Majesty promised Sun Quan that all the land obtained in this battle belonged to Eastern Wu. The second general must not attack Cao's army out of anger, otherwise it will only make Dongwu gain benefits.
When Guan Yu heard that there was such a thing, he suddenly narrowed his eyes. He hated Cao Pi for attacking Bingzhou, but he would not be stupid enough to lose his soldiers and take advantage of Sun Quan. Guan Yu weighed it and knew that this battle was too fierce, and it was not fierce. The key was a degree. We should beat Cao Pi and make him retreat. You can't damage too many soldiers and horses, and let Sun Quan and Zhou Yu pick up the benefits.
After thinking about it, Guan Yu nodded and said, "So I hit Ye City. What do you think, sir?"
Xun Xun heard the words and said with a smile, "I see the same as the second general."
After Guan Yu and Xun Yiwu made a plan to send troops, they discussed some details until late at night. The next day, Guan Yu and Xun Xun resigned from Yi and led 50,000 people to the north to meet Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu also led 50,000 troops, and the four generals Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu and Ling Tong were all in the army, which made Xun more convinced Sun Quan's sincerity to send troops. After meeting with Zhou Yu, they exchanged some greetings and found that although Zhou Yu was the commander of the three armies, he had no airs. Instead, he was very respectful to himself. When he learned that Guan Yu had just recovered from a serious illness, he deliberately ordered someone to send supplements. He did not mean to order Guan Yu. He still led his own troops. He only asked Guan Yu to discuss it when he had something to do, which made Guan Yu feel good.
There were 100,000 people in one place, and Cao's army went to conquer Bingzhou. There was no county along the way to block the allied forces of Eastern Wu and Northern Han. The army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and it effortlessly reached the city of Ye.
After Zhou Yu and Guan Yu chose to set up a camp, Zhou Yu asked Guan Yu to discuss the matter. After the two sat down, Zhou Yu said, "It is Cao Pi's capital in front of us. It's not easy to take. I don't know what General Guan has?"
Guan Yu fought all the way to Ye City. Now that the soldiers besiege Ye City, it is estimated that Cao Pi should also return from Bingzhou, so he is not enthusiastic about the siege of the city. He said, "I don't have a plan yet. I don't know what the governor of Zhou has? I will do it according to my plan."
Zhou Yu took a look at Guan Yu and said, "I just watched the front of our city. I saw a lot of equipment at the head of the city, among which there were Thunderbolt cars. I'm afraid that there are not many people in the city, and it is extremely difficult to attack. In my opinion, we should first build equipment and destroy the Thunderbolt car in the city, so that Cao Pi must be afraid of recalling foreign soldiers, and the siege of the state can be solved. The general and I ambushed the army halfway and beat Cao Bing who returned to the army. At that time, Cao Pi will have no food and grass and no reinforcements outside, and he will abandon the city and escape. This city is also available!"
Guan Yu was very satisfied to hear that Zhou Yu did not let his soldiers be the cannon fodder of the siege, but also considered the need to solve the siege of the state. As long as the siege of Bingzhou is lifted, Guan Yu's goal will be achieved. At that time, Guan Yu can find any reason to withdraw his troops. As for whether Zhou Yu can take Ye City alone is not within Guan Yu's consideration. So Guan Yu praised: "Zhou Dudu is really a wonderful plan!" I went back and ordered the soldiers to build a Thunderbolt car.
Zhou Yu stopped with a smile and said, "General Guan, don't worry! When I finish speaking. There are two difficulties in this plan. One is to destroy the Thunderbolt cars in the city, and the other is to ambush soldiers and horses to fight against the Cao army in Bingzhou. There seem to be a lot of soldiers and horses, but we have to divide the troops, but there are some shortcomings. In particular, we can't let the defenders in the city see through our army reduction and ambush. Otherwise, we will definitely inform the Cao army in Bingzhou that the ambush plan will be defeated!"
When Guan Yu heard the words, "Does the governor of Zhou mean to secretly transfer troops and horses again to ambush the soldiers?"
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Yes! I want to transfer another 20,000 soldiers and horses to bypass this city and ambush the two prefectures. I certainly don't know in the city. I just don't know if General Guan is willing to send troops to help me again?"
Guan Yu and Zhou Yu cooperated happily all the way. Although it was agreed that the captured territory would return to Eastern Wu, Zhou Yu gave Guan Yu a lot of trophies. It can be said that Zhou Yu was very kind. If Guan Yu's temperament is summarized in two words, it is "loyalty" and split into four words is "loyalty" and "righteousness". Zhou Yu is kind to Guan Yu, and Guan Yu will not be unkind to Zhou Yu, which is both Guan Yu's advantage and his weakness.
Hearing Zhou Yu's opening, Guan Yu was embarrassed to refuse and said, "Zhou Dudu has seen you. This time, we should work together to break through the Cao army. Where the governor is useful to me, Yu should help me. It's just that there are really not many soldiers and horses left in Yanzhou. I can only help another 10,000 horses. Please don't blame me!"
Zhou Yu was happy when he heard the words and secretly calculated that Liu Bei had three states, and only 300,000 people came to the end. Assuming that Liu Bei sent 100,000 horse expeditions, there are still 200,000 defenders in the three states, an average of less than 70,000 per state. If Guan Yu can really transfer another 10,000 troops here, there will be less than 10,000 horses left in Yanzhou, which is basically equivalent to being undefected.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu was overjoyed and said to Guan Yu, "General Guan has tried his best. How can I be blamed? It doesn't matter if there are not enough ambushes. We can take advantage of the opportunity of soldiers entering the forest to cut trees and secretly dispatch soldiers to go forward from the forest to ambush. As long as there are not many soldiers, it is difficult for Cao soldiers in the city to see the flaw.
