Chapter 59 Sun Caohe defeated Liu Bei and Nan Ye asked Sun Quan (20

When Dong Xi saw Pan Zhang injured and retreated, how could he dare to fight Guan Yu and Chen alone? So he retreated with Pan Zhang. As soon as the two Wu generals retreated, Guan Yu and Chen went forward to help Zhang Fei.

Zhang Feizhang's eight snake spears single-handedly challenged Cao Ying's four generals and did not fall behind. After Guan Yu and Chen joined the regiment with one knife and one shot, Cao Chun's four generals were not opponents at all and retreated one after another.

Without the general's obstruction, where can ordinary Cao Bing resist the assault arrows composed of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen? Soon the three generals led their troops out of Wu's camp.

Sima Yi, who was sitting in the rear of Cao's army, was not angry but happy to see Guan Yu go out of the city to help Zhang Fei break through the siege. Order the generals to lead the army to pursue, only kill and injum the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty, and not to entangle with Guan and Zhang Er. At the same time, Pan Zhang and Dong Xi were ordered to report Zhou Yu's breakthrough of the Northern Han army before the Northern Han army.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that Cao Jun was chasing behind them and strangling their own soldiers and horses, so they ordered Chen to lead the army. The two brothers killed the rear together, and then dispersed the pursuers. When the pursuers were killed and counted the people, the 35,000 troops that had left the city were more than 16,000 left, more than half of them.

Zhang Fei thought he could break through easily, but he didn't expect to damage many people. He couldn't help saying angrily, "There are only these people left. How can I save my brother?"

Guan Yu originally wanted to help Zhang Fei break through the siege and then go back to defend the city, but at this time he gave up the idea. If he divides his troops with Zhang Fei now, Guan Yu will return to Jinyang to fight with Cao's army and consume troops, and Zhang Fei will fight with Wu's troops to consume people and horses. I'm afraid that not many soldiers and horses will be wasted. Instead, it's better to join forces to save Liu Bei.

Thinking of this, Guan Yu said, "Don't worry, third brother. I'll go with you to save my brother."

Zhang Fei naturally said good when he heard the words, so he led the troops to Raocheng with Guan Yu and Chen. None of the three generals knew that Pan Zhang and Dong Xi had taken a step forward to Raocheng.

However, Liu Bei said that he saw Zhou Yu's soldiers surrounded three sides in Rao City but opened the gate and did not know what Zhou Yu meant, so he ordered a team of soldiers to go out of the city to test and go in the direction of Jinyang. Unexpectedly, many Wu troops were killed halfway and the soldiers who would be defeated. Since then, Liu Bei knew that Zhou Yu had an ambush and dared not send troops out of the city easily.

Zhou Yu set up an ambush on the way to Jinyang not for Liu Bei, but to wait for Jinyang. Pan Zhang and Dong Xi had no soldiers to drag down. Naturally, Zhang Er arrived in Raocheng to inform Zhou Yu and Jinyang's soldiers to arrive first. Zhou Yu ordered his generals to ambush left and right.

On this day, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen were leading the troops, and they heard the sound of drums on both sides of the road. Jiang Qin on the left and Zhou Tai led the troops to cut off the central army on the right. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei returned to fight against the two generals, and Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were defeated and left. As soon as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were about to lead the army to chase and kill, they heard another drum on both sides of the road. Chen Wu was on the left and Ling Tong was killed on the right to fight Chen.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that Chen was defeated by the two generals, they had to abandon Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai and return to rescue them. Unexpectedly, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai saw that Guan and Zhang II did not chase after them, so they led the troops back to kill and injure the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty. Chen Wu and Ling Tong led the troops away.

Guan and Zhang Er had no choice but to let go of Chen Wu and Ling Tong and return to fight Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai. At this time, there was another shout of killing, with Pan Zhang on the left and Dong attacking on the right. Chen Wu and Ling Tong also returned to the army to fight.

Dongwu soldiers and horses were so repeated, and Guan Yu knew that it was a plan and said to Zhang Fei and Chen Dao, "I don't want to pester here. Go to Raocheng to save my brother quickly!"

Zhang Fei and Chen answered the promise and led the troops together with Guan Yu to rush forward, but the soldiers behind them could not be taken care of. The generals of Eastern Wu then strangled the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty. When the three generals of Guan Yu led their troops to Rao City, most of the soldiers and horses were damaged, leaving only 7,000 to 8,000 people.

Liu Bei and Jian Yong saw Guan Yu's soldiers in the city and hurriedly ordered the three generals to enter the city. When Liu Bei saw that the generals were bathed in blood, he asked, "The second brother and the third brother led the troops here because the grain and grass in Jinyang City have been lost?"

Guan Yu was stunned when he heard the words and said, "Isn't it because I'm going to save my life?"

Liu Bei frowned and said, "I was burned a lot of grain and grass by the Wu army, but nearly half of the grain and grass were brought into the city. When the grain ran out, I didn't ask you for help."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had previously known that Liu Bei had left Yuzhou to deliver grain and fodder. At this time, they were shocked to hear the words. Zhang Fei said angrily, "I'll wait for Zhou Yu's children's plan again!"

Liu Bei quickly asked about the cause and effect, only then did he know that there was still grain and grass in Jinyang City and did not ask Yuzhou for help. At this time, Liu Bei also knew that he had been tricked to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and couldn't help sighing, "It's useless to repent now, and you should think about how to deal with it."

Jian Yong heard the words and said, "In my opinion, what the second general said is right. Your Majesty still retreated to Jinyang and wait for Prime Minister Zhuge to return to the army."

Liu Bei frowned when he heard the words and said, "If you go to Jinyang, you will definitely fight against the Wu and Wei armies. I don't know how many people will be left."

Hearing Liu Bei say that Jian Yong, Guan Yu and others were also silent. What Liu Bei said is not unreasonable. The high wall of Jinyang City is thick, but there must be people who can defend it. Although Rao City is small, there are more than 50,000 soldiers and horses defending the city at this time, but I don't know how many soldiers and horses will be left when they break out of Jinyang.

Just when the human rights balance was to guard Jinyang or Rao City, a soldier suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the Wu army outside the city has withdrawn!"

"What are you going to say?" Liu Bei and others were shocked when they heard the words, and the messenger had to say it again. Liu Bei knew that Zhou Yu would not be aimless, and there must be a purpose for withdrawing troops. However, Liu Bei couldn't think of it for the time being, so he came to the city with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to see if Zhou Yu really withdrew his army.

When he saw that Wu Jun cleaned up the camp and withdrew one after another, Liu Bei was also a little confused and asked everyone, "Why do you think Zhou Yu retreated?"

Jia Yong thought for a moment and said, "Zhou Yu must have troops. Now the soldiers and horses in Bingzhou are all in Raocheng and Jinyang. If Zhou Yu does not besiege Raocheng, he must go to Jinyang. Isn't it Zhou Yu who guessed that His Majesty was going to defend Jinyang, so he fought with Sima Yi to attack Jinyang first?

Guan Yu was shocked and said, "What Xianhe said is not unreasonable. Jinyang now lacks soldiers and major generals. People and horses are brought by me and my third brother. Only Mr. Gongyou in the city is guarding the city, and he will definitely be defeated by the two armies of Wu and Wei."

Liu Bei was still hesitating whether to defend Jinyang or Rao City. At this time, when he heard Jian Yong and Guan Yu, he had an idea and said, and said with a smile, "Since Zhou Yu and Sima Yi have teamed to attack Jinyang first, they must be afraid that we should guard Jinyang, so we will go to guard Jinyang to break the treachery of the two thieves."

Everyone felt reasonable when they heard the words. After several battles of wisdom, Guan Yu and other generals also found that they were not opponents of Zhou Yu and Sima Yi. Since Zhou Yu and Sima Yi think that Jinyang is so important and needs to be taken first, there must be nothing wrong with the plan to stop them. After everyone had agreed, they hurriedly packed up the army and horses to save Jinyang.

The soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty acted quickly. After receiving Liu Bei's order, they began to pack up their bags and prepare to set off. However, it will take some time for the 50,000 army to prepare for the expedition. When Liu, Guan and Zhang led the troops out of the city, the first Wu army would have long been gone.

Liu Bei was worried that Zhou Yu and Sima Yi would take Jinyang, so he urged people to go quickly. Unfortunately, the 50,000 soldiers under Liu Bei's command were either taken by Zhuge Liang to fight against the Xiongnu, or were taken away by Chen to save Zhang Fei. These old and weak soldiers can barely be used to defend the city, but they can't march in a hurry. After walking more than ten miles, some people began to fall behind, and the army was no longer neat.

Liu Bei, who is worried about Jinyang, dares not delay at all. How can he care whether the people are neat or not? I just hope to get to Jinyang soon. Because of this, the Northern Han army became more and more scattered. At this time, there were shouts of killing on both sides of the road, and countless Wu troops rushed out, cutting the Northern Han army into several sections. The leading generals were Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and others.

Zhou Yu stood on the hillside and smiled at Liu Bei, "Xuan Degong, I have been waiting here for a long time!"

As soon as Liu Bei saw Dongwu's ambush, he knew that he had been tricked by Zhou Yu again. It turned out that Zhou Yu withdrew not to attack Jinyang, but to lure himself out of the city. Wu Bing left half a day early, and naturally he had time to arrange an ambush. At this time, it was too late to regret. Liu Bei could only grit his teeth to encourage the soldiers and said, "Jinyang is not far away. The armies will rush to kill with me!" After saying that, the horse rushed forward.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that Liu Bei was willing to fall behind half a step in front of him. One left and one right protected Liu Bei and rushed forward. Chen Zhi led the white army to guard Liu Bei.

The generals of Eastern Wu all knew the courage of Guan and Zhang Er generals, and did not come to find them. They let them rush to the front, but kept hanging the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty. Liu Bei's men were not strong at all. Previously, they had exhausted their physical strength and lost their troops due to the urgent march. Now they are not the opponent of the Wu army at all. They either fled in all directions or kneel down to ask for surrender.

Looking back after Liu Bei led his troops out of the siege, tens of thousands of troops are now less than 10,000, and most of the remaining soldiers and horses are the elite soldiers brought by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei before. Seeing that the Wu army had not been chased for the time being, Liu Bei ordered the soldiers to rest, because there was still a fierce battle under Jinyang City. If they could not break through Sima Yi's encirclement, these soldiers and horses would still not enter the city.

Just as the Northern Han army was resting, the smoke and dust suddenly appeared in front of it, and a man came from the direction of Jinyang. Seeing this, Liu Bei thought that it was Cao's attack and wanted to attack the Wu army back and forth, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to prepare for the battle. However, when the horse arrived in front of him, Liu Bei found that it was his own soldiers and horses, and the leader was Sun Qian.

Zhang Fei was shocked when he saw Sun Qian and said, "What is Mr. Gongyou doing here when he is not guarding Jinyang?"

Sun Qian was obviously shocked to see Liu Bei's army. At this time, when he heard Zhang Fei ask, he knelt down and pleaded guilty to Liu Bei and said, "Weichen has a heavy burden, and Jinyang has been lost. When Sima Yi saw the generals leaving the city, he attacked the city. The soldiers and horses in the city were invincible. Weichen had to lead the troops out of the city and wanted to go to Rao City to meet His Majesty, but he didn't want to meet here.

Everyone was shocked to hear that Jinyang had been lost. When Liu Bei knew that he was not blaming Sun Qian at this time, he helped him up and said, "It's no wonder that Gongyou. But now there is the Wei army in the past and the Wu army in the future, and there is no city to defend. What can we do?

Sun Qian said, "For today's plan, we can only join the Xiongnu and Zhuge Prime Minister before making a final determination."
