(It's changed!)
In the Guan Yu Army's camp on the Yangtze River.
"What? You said my big brother was defeated in Fan City? "Guan Yu stared at the messenger in front of him.
"Yes, Second General. When we were about to take Fan City, the Yangzhou Navy appeared. They defeated General Liao Hua and killed General Hu Che Er. There's more!" The messenger stopped talking halfway.
"What else?" Guan Yu glared at the messenger. "If you want to say it, say it all!"
The messenger could not help but shiver. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. "General Guan Ping's whereabouts are unknown!" “
"Bang!" Guan Yu slammed his fist on the table. The table broke. This was enough to see Guan Yu's anger.
Ping 'er! Although Guan Yu was a strict father and a serious person, he thought that he would never see his son again after he left home at a young age. However, when he met his son again in his middle age, Guan Yu's heart was moved.
That was his child, Guan Yu's flesh and blood, not a cat's or a dog's.
Even though Guan Ping did not see a trace of joy on Guan Yu's face, he did not see any praise for himself.
However, only Guan Yu himself knew that Guan Ping had become a pillar in his heart.
But now, his whereabouts were unknown.
"General Guan Ping was covering Milord's retreat. That was why he was stopped by the enemy, Taishi Ci!"
"Taishi Ci? Taishi Ci Yi? "Guan Yu asked with wide eyes.
"Why would the Yangzhou Navy go around my camp and go to Fan City?" This was something Guan Yu could not figure out.
Guan Yu did not know that this was a plot in Fan City. Even Liu Bei went to Jingzhou. This was Liu Mang's plan. It was to give Liu Mang an excuse to get involved.
"Not only Taishi Ci, but also Jiangdong's Little Conqueror, Sun Ce!" The messenger continued to add. Hu Che Er was unlucky to meet Sun Ce. He was nailed to the ground by Sun Ce's spear.
"Milord, order General Guan to dispatch troops immediately and cooperate with Milord to eliminate the invaders!"
"Pass down my orders! Immediately mobilize five thousand cavalrymen and follow me to support the Lord! "Guan Yu suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered.
"Yes!" The generals nodded and left immediately.
"As for the matters in the camp!" Guan Yu personally led the troops to welcome his lord, Liu Bei. Someone had to be in charge of the camp.
Guan Yu wanted to ask De Fu to host the event.
But De Fu shook her head, "General, Milord is in danger, De Fu is duty-bound!" De Fu wanted to go with Guan Yu to rescue Liu Bei.
"What about the camp?!" Guan Yu hesitated.
"General, did you forget that there is still a person in the camp who can take on a great responsibility!" De Fu said to Guan Yu.
"Gongyou!" Guan Yu also remembered that there was still Sun Gongyou in the camp.
"Good. In that case, let Gongyou take charge of all the matters in the camp! De Fu, come with me to dispatch troops! "Guan Yu said to De Fu.
"Yes!"
In Guan Yu's army, the five thousand cavalrymen were ready to set off. Looking majestic and mighty, they were about to set off.
If Hu Che Er was here, he would cry. Because most of the horses in these five thousand cavalrymen were contributed by his Xiliang Cavalry.
Hu Che Er lost an arm and the Xiliang Cavalry suffered a great defeat. So Liu Bei took advantage of the situation and removed Hu Che Er from his position as the commander of the cavalrymen. He also transferred Hu Che Er to his side. Although it was a promotion, it was actually a demotion.
Guan Yu was worthy of being a famous general. In a short period of time, he managed to reorganize his cavalrymen.
There were not many horses in the south. So many people did not know how to ride a horse. Guan Yu directly sent people to tie them to the horses and eat hala on the horses.
In a short period of time, although they could not be compared to the famous White Horse and Tiger Leopard Cavalry, at least they could form an army.
The five thousand cavalrymen quickly disappeared from the camp.
Looking at Guan Yu leaving with the five thousand cavalrymen, Sun Qian finally showed his face.
"Teacher, Guan Yu has left with the elites of the camp. Do you think we should …?" Xu Sheng asked Sun Qian.
Now Xu Sheng was half a fan of Sun Qian. He would ask Sun Qian about every small matter. Although Sun Qian's ability was only enough to govern a county, Xu Sheng was also a simpleton.
If he were to follow other scholars, he would not know anything. Based on Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu's unconstrained ideas, Xu Sheng would have long been confused.
Sun Qian was different. Sun Qian followed the great scholar Zheng Xuan. Although his ability was limited, he had a solid foundation.
Sun Qian did not immediately respond to Xu Sheng. Instead, he muttered to himself, "Heaven wants Liu Bei to die. It's not human strength!"
"Go back to the camp. Send a letter to Lord Zhou. Tell him that it's done!" Sun Qian said to Xu Sheng.
"Yes!"
"What about us?" Xu Sheng was confused. He came with five thousand Black Flag soldiers. In terms of elites, they were not inferior to Zhou Yu's King Chu of Jiangdong.
But now Sun Qian asked Zhou Yu's troops to come. Wasn't this giving credit to Zhou Yu for nothing?
Xu Sheng did not have a good impression of the Zhou Family. After all, he was sold into the Black Flag Army.
"Us?" Sun Qian looked at the rolling Yangtze River.
"We'll go to the opposite side!" Sun Qian pointed to the direction of Xiangyang City.
The Yangtze River Navy's troops were mobilized.
Sun Qian issued a transfer order, having all of the troops in Guan Yu's camp gather together, relying on his Black Banner Army subordinates to take away their weapons.
Guan Yu's twenty thousand troops were all captured.
The Yangtze River Navy's troops sent by Zhou Yu took over the entire camp.
However, the flag was not changed. It was still the Guan flag.
On the other side, a person came to Nanyang County with his elite cavalry.
"Brother-in-law, the Lord's troops should be enough. Why is he still transferring our troops?" A general surnamed Cao complained to a man in golden armor.
This person was none other than Cao Bao's son, Cao Cheng. Lü Bu's troops were defeated and the Cao Family was destroyed. Cao Bao also died in the army. However, Cao Cheng survived.
Later, the Lvbu's Army became stronger and stronger. Cao Cheng thought that he could rely on his sister to rise in status.
After all, he was Lü Bu's brother-in-law. He should be rich and powerful. Who would have thought that Lü Bu would give his position to his son-in-law, Liu Mang.
It didn't matter if he gave up his position. After all, he was still his brother-in-law. In the army, he should at least be a commander.
However, all the officers in Yangzhou's army had to graduate from the Yangzhou Military Academy.
Even those old generals had to complete some studies before they could enter the army.
For example, Zhou Cang and the others. Liu Mang wholeheartedly wanted these people to enter the army and command the troops. However, Zhou Cang was not willing. It was not that he was reluctant to part with Liu Mang. It was just that he was not willing to read and read.
A commander who was illiterate, how could he fight? He might not even be able to understand military intelligence.
Although Cao Cheng was literate, he was not willing to read. If you asked him to read some miscellaneous books, he would be willing to read them. However, if you asked him to read some military strategy, he would be killed.
Even a general was not qualified, let alone a civil servant.
It was because of Lü Bu's face that Cao Cheng was given a position to be Lü Bu's personal guard. Cao Cheng was said to be protecting Lü Bu.
It was clear who was protecting who.
The reason why Cao Cheng was complaining was that his position as a personal guard was completely useless.
When the army was mobilized, even his personal guard had to crawl out of bed. They were mobilizing in the middle of the night.
"Hmph, you want credit, but you don't want to go. You are simply trash!" Lü Bu coldly snorted. He was very dissatisfied with his brother-in-law.
This Cao Bao was not an idiot, but he gave birth to an idiot son.
"I have credit!" This Cao Cheng did not care about his brother-in-law's evaluation of him. After being scolded so many times, his face had become thicker. What he cared about was the word 'credit'.
He did not dare to ask Lü Bu. He only looked at Chen Gong.
"Mister Gongtai, what credit is it?"
Chen Gong didn't want to explain, but when he saw Cao Cheng's shameless expression, as though he would pester Chen Gong to death if he didn't say anything, he could only speak up.
"Xingren!" Chen Gong said, "You also know who you are targeting!"
"Liu Bei!" Cao Cheng said matter-of-factly.
"How many soldiers does this Liu Bei have?"
Although Cao Cheng was ignorant, he still knew some basic things.
"A total of about forty thousand!" Cao Cheng said. This Liu Bei claimed to have an army of a hundred thousand, but in reality, he could only fight forty thousand.
"How many soldiers does this Fan City have?"
"Twenty thousand!"
"How many soldiers did Milord send?" “
"The main camp of the Yangtze River Navy, together with the troops from Shouchun, there are …" Only then did Cao Cheng remember that if such an army could not take down Liu Bei, then they should all commit suicide.
"But why do you want us to go?" Cao Cheng still did not understand. Could it be that he was deliberately given the credit? It could not be. One must know that in order to get a high position, Cao Cheng almost shamelessly went to the Prince's Mansion in Shouchun.
He was even dragged back by Lü Bu with a dark face.
"Haha!" Chen Gong did not explain. Instead, he looked at Lü Bu.
Although taking down Jingzhou was a strategic location for Yangzhou, it was not important enough to let Lü Bu and Chen Gong go together.
To be able to make them come together, it was because of Liu Mang's shrewdness.
Lü Bu was good at everything. His martial arts were strong, he was handsome, and he treated his subordinates well. However, he had one shortcoming, and that was that he was petty.
In other words, he would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
Lü Bu did not hate Cao Cao or Yuan Shao. These two people relied on their strength to defeat Lü Bu.
Lü Bu would not be angry if his skills were not as good as others. He would only slowly increase his strength.
However, there was one person that Lü Bu was so angry that his teeth itched. That was Liu Bei.
In the past, he wanted to use Lü Bu as a tool.
He wanted to use Lü Bu to block Cao Cao. He wanted to use Lü Bu and Cao Cao to fight to the death so that he could benefit from it.
Unfortunately, Chen Gong beat him at his own game and drove Liu Bei out of Xuzhou.
Who would have thought that Liu Bei would not give up.
On the surface, he was respectful to Lü Bu. However, in the dark, he colluded with Cao Cao and kicked Lü Bu out of Xuzhou. He almost died in Xuzhou.
Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Xu. Lü Bu placed all of these grudges on Liu Bei.
This time, he used the Bing Province Cavalry as a way for Liu Mang to curry favor with his father-in-law.
"Pass down the order. We must arrive at Fan City tomorrow morning!" Lü Bu was also excited.
Zhang Yun was very excited to have chased them all the way from Fan City.
Who would like a gentleman to take revenge? If Zhang Yun could shout, he would definitely shout, "I am a vile person, a vile person. So what if I am a vile person? I will take revenge on the spot."
The current Zhang Yun was such a vile person.
He chased after the remnants of Liao Hua's army.
The 5,000 Chu soldiers of Jiangdong were all elites. Along the way, some of Liao Hua's soldiers that had returned were all scattered by Zhang Yun.
Countless were killed and injured.
Zhang Yun did not want to take prisoners.
After chasing for a long time, Zhang Yun was not a brainless person. He immediately reacted and calmed down.
He chased for dozens of miles and was about to reach the Yangtze River. It was time to take a break.
"Reporting to General, we have discovered the enemy's army ahead!" A Chu scout reported to Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun was very satisfied. The Chu army was indeed the Chu army. When the army was on the move, the surrounding 50 miles were his eyes.
"The enemy's army?" Zhang Yun hesitated. At this time, where would the enemy's army come from?
Liao Hua's soldiers wished that their parents had given them two more legs so that they could run faster. The remnants of the defeated soldiers also knew that if they stayed together, they would only provoke Zhang Yun's hatred. They would definitely be beaten up by Zhang Yun's men.
If they were separated, Zhang Yun would not have much interest in them.
But now, the opposite had happened, and a large army of the enemy had appeared.
Zhang Yun immediately calmed down. Could there be a trap ahead? Thinking of this, Zhang Yun's head was covered in cold sweat.
He looked back. He had chased too far. Even if the Chu army was very elite, there were less than 3,000 men left.
If there was an ambush ahead at this moment, then he, Zhang Yun, would plunge in headfirst.
At that time, not only would he not be able to take revenge, he would also be beaten.
"Halt!" Fortunately, Zhang Yun calmed down and ordered the army to stop.
Liu Bei's army was also watching Zhang Yun's movements.
"Reporting to Milord, Zhang Yun's army seems to have noticed something!" Liao Hua reported to Liu Bei.
They wanted to take advantage of Zhang Yun and wipe out all five thousand of his Chu soldiers to collect some interest.
"Where is Yunchang's army?" Liu Bei asked one of his men.
"General Guan's army is still on the way. They should be here in half a day!"
"Half a day?" Liu Bei frowned. Half a day was too long. If Guan Yu was here, he could have Guan Yu take a detour to Zhang Yun's rear.
That way, Zhang Yun would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.
But now, Zhang Yun was obviously hesitating.
If Zhang Yun ran away at this time, their gains would not make up for the losses.
"Milord, Zhang Yun can't run away!" Pang Shiyuan stood up and said to the crowd.
"What brilliant plan do you have?" Liu Bei looked at Pang Shiyuan.
"Although I have a plan, I will have to inconvenience Milord!" Pang Shiyuan said.
"Go ahead!"
"Men, raise Milord's flag!" Pang Shiyuan ordered his men.
…
"Is that true?!" Zhang Yun's eyes lit up when he heard his subordinate's report on the situation ahead.
"Reporting to the general, it is absolutely true. The banner over there is indeed Liu Bei's banner!" His subordinate reported.
"Good, good, good!" Zhang Yun could not help but laugh. He finally knew why Liao Hua's army was not in a hurry to escape but gathered together. It was not that they did not want to escape, but there was an important person in the army. This important person was Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's flag was here, which meant that Liu Bei was there.
That would explain everything.
"How many troops are there? Have you investigated carefully?" Zhang Yun asked.
"Looking at the pattern, there should be two teams!"
Two teams were two thousand men, which was two thousand men. Not to mention that Liu Bei's troops were not as elite as the Chu Army in Jiangdong, in terms of numbers, Zhang Yun's troops were 1.5 times more than Liu Bei's.
"Haha!" Zhang Yun suddenly laughed. "The Heavens really want me, Zhang Yun, to make a contribution!" Fan City had now fallen into the hands of the Yangzhou army. His boss, Cai Mao, was also determined to join the Yangzhou army.
Zhang Yun naturally did not insist on joining the Yangzhou army, but after joining the Yangzhou army, his position would be awkward.
The Yangzhou army did not lack generals and civil officials.
If Zhang Yun joined the army, he would not be able to achieve high or low positions.
Now, with such a contribution, if he could defeat Liao Hua and capture Liu Bei.
Zhang Yun's position would inevitably rise.
Zhang Yun could not help but be tempted by this contribution.
However, he was afraid that there would be a trap. After thinking for a long time, the scouts told him that Liu Bei was gathering in the plains. How could there be an ambush?
Zhang Yun gritted his teeth. "Fight!"
Under Liu Bei's excitement, Zhang Yun set off towards Liu Bei's army.
Behind the two armies, there were two groups of cavalry galloping quickly.
One had a flag with the word "Lu" and the other had a flag with the word "Guan". (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come and vote for me.
