Chapter 59 Sun Caohe defeated Liu Bei and Nanye attacked Sun Quan at the appointment (14

Guan Yu didn't expect Lv Meng to be so sinister. Instead of not leaving the city to fight, he asked his soldiers and his family to persuade him to surrender. Guan Yu was furious and wanted to come forward, but was shot back by a rain of arrows in the city. Guan Yu looked at the city from afar. They were all the people of Yanzhou. They called their brothers, looking for their sons and masters, and couldn't help shouting.

Lv Meng saw clearly in the city that the soldiers behind Guan Yu were ready to move, so he ordered to open the gate. At least there are tens of thousands of troops in Lv Meng City, and he is really not afraid of Guan Yu entering the city. After the gate opened, Lv Meng shouted at the head of the city, "The family in the second general's city is sound. If you want to surrender, you can enter the city."

Guan Yu was furious when he heard the words, but his soldiers' hearts changed. At this time, when he saw the gate open, they all responded and left. Guan Yu couldn't stop drinking and wanted to raise his knife to kill the soldiers running to the city, but Qinglong Yanyue raised his knife and put it down again. Guan Yu thought that these soldiers were born and died, and they could not be said to be unfaithful. It was his incompetence that killed tens of thousands of troops. Guan Yu was really shameless to do military law again, so he had to sigh for a long time: "I regret not listening to the words of your military division, so that today's defeat."

At this time, there are more than 300 people behind Guan Yu, all of whom are veterans of Guan Yu. Among them, the deputy general Yu reminded: "Second General, the army is in turmoil. If you don't leave again, Lv Meng will die here!"

At this time, Guan Yu also thought about it, and his face had been lost. It was not appropriate to lose it again. So he led more than 300 remnant soldiers to Bingzhou.

When Lv Meng saw Guan Yu going west, he sent a letter to Sima Yi so that Sima Yi would intercept Guan Yu. Sima Yi got Lv Meng's letter and looked at the generals and said with a smile, "This is Zhou Yu and Lv Meng's plan to kill people with a knife! If I kill Guan Yu, Liu Bei will hate me deeply. If I attack with Nan Ye, we will be in danger. It is said that I will order him to pretend to intercept Guan Yu and secretly let him into the city to meet Zhang Fei.

When Cao Ying heard the words, they all admired Sima Yi's deep foresight and walked according to the plan. Guan Yu broke through several sieges of Cao's army and entered the city to see Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei had already received a message from Guan Yu and asked him to attack Yanzhou together, but Zhang Fei was unable to deal with the Cao army in front of him. How could he help Guan Yu recapture Yanzhou? When Zhang Fei saw that Guan Yu still had the ambition to regain Yanzhou, he didn't expect that Guan Yu was in a critical situation. Now he was really surprised to see Guan Yu's tired appearance and asked, "Why is the second brother so embarrassed?"

Guan Yu borrowed troops from Zhang Fei before and only said that Dong Wu backed the alliance and took Yanzhou. He was embarrassed to say that he was so miserable. At this time, he could no longer hide it, so he told the story.

Zhang Fei said angrily, "Second brother, relax! When you and I work together to defeat Cao Jun, we will take back Yanzhou together.

The two were discussing when the gatekeeper suddenly came to report: "Two generals, General Chen outside the door asked for a meeting and said that there was something important to report."

Hearing Chen's arrival, Guan and Zhang hurriedly entered the room and asked, "What's the matter?"

After Chen arrived at the ceremony, he said urgently: "There is an opportunity to report that the Eastern Wu army is coming from Jizhou. I was worried that Cao Jun and Wu Jun would divide their troops to take our camp and the city, so I wanted to lead troops into the city and defend the city with the two generals to avoid being attacked by the two armies.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and felt that what Chen said was reasonable. Previously, the Cao army was in the same number as the Northern Han army, and it could confront it. Now if the Wu army is divided again, it will only be defeated by each. So the two of them let Chen enter the city, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen and Sun Qian each guarded a door.

After Zhou Yu defeated Guan Yu, he packed up his army and horses from Jizhou to Bingzhou and surrounded Jinyang with Sima Yi. Sima Yi welcomed Zhou Yu into the coach's tent and saluted him and said, "Congratulations to Governor Zhou on breaking through Guan Yu and taking Yanzhou."

Zhou Yu said humbly, "If it hadn't been for the plan of Governor Sima, how could I have made it today? I should have thanked Governor Sima."

Sima Yi waved his hand and said, "The king of Wei is the son of the State of Wu. It is his duty to attack the pseudo-imperialist Liu Bei together. Why should the governor of Zhou thank him? Now Yanzhou has won and Guan Yu has been defeated. We are waiting for the third step of chess.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "On the way, I have ordered someone to report that Your Majesty has suspended the attack on Xuchang, and now I can send an envoy to act according to the plan." After the discussion, the two found several soldiers to order them and sent them as messengers to see Liu Bei. Then he ordered his soldiers to turn the iron barrels around the city in case someone left the city.

However, Liu Bei thought of Guan Yu's bad situation when he saw Sun Quan leading the Eastern Wu soldiers to attack in Xuchang. He also wanted to go to save Yanzhou, but the elite soldiers in the city were first taken away by Zhuge Liang to attack the Xiongnu, and then taken 50,000 by Chen to save Zhang Fei. Although Xuchang still had 50,000 soldiers and horses, they were all old and weak soldiers and did not have generals. It was not easy to defend the city without being broken by Sun Quan, and there was no possibility of sending troops.

Of course, Liu Bei has another option, which is to abandon Yuzhou to save Yanzhou, but that makes no sense to Liu Bei. He has been operating in Yuzhou for many years, and Yanzhou is a new place, and it is clear which is more important to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was only worried about Guan Yu's safety, so he discussed with Jian Yong how to save Guan Yu.

Jian Yong reminded Liu Bei, "Your Majesty, now that Wu and Wei have formed an alliance to attack, and the situation is critical, why don't you ask for help from the national teacher?"

Liu Bei heard Jian Yong mention Nan Ye. At that time, he was very happy. If he could move Nan Ye to send troops, he could not only save Guan Yu, but also relieve the siege of Yuzhou and Bingzhou. Liu Bei wrote two letters at that time and ordered people to break out and send letters to Sili and Jingzhou. These two states are adjacent to Yuzhou and can send troops as fast as possible. If Liu Bei sends people to Jiaozhou to deliver letters, the yellow cauliflower will be cold again and again.

Sun Quan's army is under the city. How can the soldiers and horses in the city break through easily? Liu Bei's messenger had to go all the way out of the siege to Sili, and the other way was intercepted by Sun Quan, and the letter asking for help was also searched.

Sun Quan is not afraid of Liu Bei in the city. But for Nan Ye, Sun Quan is really uncertain. When he saw Liu Bei's letter, Sun Quan couldn't help frowning and hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss.

Cheng Pu and Han Dang are old ministers of Eastern Wu. They have served for Sun Jian and have also played with Nan Ye. It can even be said that they have some friendship. From the bottom of their hearts, the two did not want to see Sun Quan'en revenge against Nan Ye, but for the interests of Eastern Wu, they could not stop Sun Quan, so they had to keep silent.

Lu Su knows the power of Nan Ye and knows that once Nan Ye dispatches troops, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the good situation in front of him may disappear. However, it seems impossible to stop Nan Ye from sending troops. After all, it is wrong for Dongwu to sneak up on Liu Bei. This reason is enough for Nanye to send troops to fight against Sun Quan. Nanye's temper and personality, as long as there is a fair reason, he will never hesitate to take the army.

Considering that Nanye was bound to rise up, Lu Su began to consider how to delay Nanye. As long as it is delayed for a while, when Yuzhou and Bingzhou are at the hands of Sun Quan, Eastern Wu and Cao Wei will have the strength to compete with Nan Ye. Lu Su wanted to give up Sun Quan and said, "Your Majesty can send envoys with generous gifts to form an alliance with the guards of Sili and Jingzhou County, hold back Nanye's soldiers and horses, and then send letters to the governor to discuss how to retreat from Nanye's soldiers."

Sun Quan was worried when he heard the words: "What if the county guards of the two places see Liu Bei's messengers to attack, what if they don't form an alliance with us?"

Lu Su said, "If the two countries have a good alliance, the county guard will not dare to make his own decisions. It is necessary to write a letter to Nanye. In this way, it will take a lot of time. The land in the north has been obtained by His Majesty, and even Nanye's soldiers will not be afraid."

Sun Quan was overjoyed to hear that as long as Sili and Jingzhou did not move their troops for the time being, Nanye's soldiers and horses would not be able to save Liu Bei. What's more, according to Zhou Yu's analysis, Nanye may also send troops to leave Jiaozhou, so it will take longer to ask Nanye for instructions. When Nan Ye replied, Sun Quan had already defeated Liu Bei, so he no longer had to be afraid of Nan Ye. So Sun Quan went according to the plan, sent a big gift to the generals of Sili and Jingzhou, and expressed his willingness to form an alliance with Nan Yeyong.

Nan Ye's generals in charge of Jingzhou are Lu Xun and Zhang Liao, and the heads of Si Li are Chen Qun, Chen Gong and Xu Huang. Jingzhou only received a gift from Sun Quan and did not receive a letter of help from Liu Bei. Naturally, Lu Xun would not mind his own business to help Liu Bei. Even if Lu Xun had already received the news of Sun Quan and Liu Bei's war, he was happy to see the two sides fighting.

Chen Qun and Chen Gong saw Liu Bei's messenger, but Sun Quan's messenger almost went back and forth to Sili. Chen Qun, Chen Gong and Lu Xun all thought about how to take advantage of the opportunity of the war between the two sides to reap the profits, and simply arranged for the two envoys to meet at the same time.

It can be said that the enemies were particularly jealous. As soon as the two messengers met, they quarreled in front of the hall without Chen Qun and Chen Gong's provocation. One side wants to persuade the Southern Han Dynasty to help the Northern Han Dynasty, and the other side wants to persuade the Southern Han Dynasty to help the Eastern Wu Dynasty. Chen Qun and Chen Gong persuaded the two envoys respectively and said in embarrassment that they could not make a decision after asking for instructions.

Liu Bei's envoy couldn't help but feel ashes when he got this answer, but he could not blame Chen Qun and Chen Gong, because they did not favor Eastern Wu. On the other hand, Sun Quan's envoy smiled. He didn't expect Nanye to help Dongwu at all. As long as Nanye didn't help Liu Bei for the time being, he would complete the task. The two messengers who received the same answer but were in a completely different mood went back to return to their lives.

Sun Quan was naturally overjoyed to receive a reply from the messenger, and at the same time, Zhou Yu's reply also arrived. The letter first praised Lu Su's plan for its feasibility, and then asked Sun Quan to postpone the siege of the city, saying that there was already a plan to break Liu Bei, and he could compete with Nan Ye for the world as soon as Liu Bei was broken. Sun Quan saw that Xin followed the plan and gathered the besieged soldiers and horses in one place, but the troops under Xuchang City no longer attacked the city.

As soon as the soldiers and horses in the city retreated, the messenger sent by Liu Bei also returned to the city smoothly, bringing back Chen Qun and Chen Gong's reply. When Liu Bei learned that Sun Quan also sent the envoy together, he frowned and instantly understood that Sun Quan was stumbling himself, and Nan Ye's reinforcements could not be counted on in a short period of time. However, Liu Bei believes that as long as the news is transmitted to Nanye, Nanye will definitely send troops to help himself. What he has to do is to defend the city and wait for Nanye to help.

Liu Bei was fully sure to wait for Nanye's reinforcements, but a few days later, some soldiers came to report: "Your Majesty, five Bingzhou soldiers were sent by the second and third generals to see your majesty and said they had something important to see."
