Chapter 425
Chapter 425 Can't Go Back
Although Guan Yu knows that this is the only chance to attack Fancheng, once he misses this time, it will be too difficult to come back in the future, but he has to lead his army to retreat. After all, the rear is under surprise attack now. , then not only Wuling and Nanjun, but also Lingling and Guiyang, the other two counties in Jingnan, will be lost, and even the entire Jiaozhou will be lost. If all these territories are lost, even if Liu Bei is willing to forgive him, He also has no face to see Liu Bei again.
Along this road, soldiers kept fleeing. Although Guan Yu's prestige in the army is very high, and he loves the soldiers, so he has won the hearts of the people, but because many of the soldiers' families in the army are in Jiangling City, Jiangling is now In the fall, the life and death of their family members are unknown. Under such circumstances, the soldiers who cared about their families fled one after another.
During this period, those who missed their wives and children were mostly ridiculed, but those who missed their parents were respected. Most of these fleeing soldiers used the excuse of caring for their parents' safety, and even Guan Yu was powerless to stop them.
The scene that happened not long after made the soldiers under Guan Yu even more heartbroken, because many people got the news that their families were living well in Jiangling. The soldiers in Sun Quan's army respected them very much. Not only did Qiu Wu commit no crime, , and also helped orphans and widows, and some even distributed relief grains, so that the family members of Guan Yu's army had no worries about food and clothing.
During this process, many people even persuaded their husbands and sons not to fight against the Jiangdong soldiers, but this was relatively subtle, and some directly said the words to make their sons or husbands surrender.
Under this situation, most of Guan Yu's army had already fled before they encountered any decent enemy. Only about 2 people remained in the [-] to [-] army.
"Your Majesty, with our current strength, even if we go back to Jiangling, it will be useless. Therefore, we might as well not go to Jiangling, but go west along the Mian River, and then follow the blocking water to enter Shangyong, Shangyong. Although it is under the rule of Hanzhong County, its lords, Shen Dan and Shen Yi, are local tyrants, and they are actually local warlords. To assist the lord to deal with Zhang Ren and Yan Yan in Bajun, Junhou can use their strength to cross Bashan, attack Zhang Ren and Yan Yan from behind, and help the lord to calm Bajun. Jiaozhou also helped the lord get Berkshire, which can be regarded as redemption, and I believe the lord will not blame you."
Looking at Guan Yu with a manic face, Wang Fu quickly persuaded him from the side.
Wang Fu's suggestion was originally a good one, but Guan Yu shook his head and said: "As for blaming, I believe that even if I lose the entire Jingzhou and Jiaozhou in vain, brother will not blame me, but I will blame myself, brother You can safely hand over Jingzhou to me, but I was so careless that my rear was attacked twice by soldiers under Sun Quan's son. As a result, I lost the entire Jingzhou and also lost the opportunity to go north to seize Xudu and restore the Han Dynasty. Although I only have [-] soldiers under my command, but I am still confident that I can retake Jiangling and Wuling, and I may even take this opportunity to recapture Changsha in one fell swoop to avoid the humiliation of being captured by Zhou Yu last time. Don't worry about our lack of strength when crossing the mountain. The current officers and soldiers in the army are all my own troops. Their families are not in Jiangling, so there will never be any defections. We still retain Xiangyang City, where we have [-] soldiers and a large amount of food and baggage. Enough to support us to take a short rest before setting off for Gangneung.
However, I didn't expect that when I arrived at Xiangyang City, I saw the city gate closed. Guan Yu sent someone to call the city, but he saw a general on the top of the city shouting: "Guan Yu, don't leave. I, Zhou Cang, have been waiting here for a long time."
Immediately, arrows rained down like rain, and the soldiers around Guan Yu screamed and fell off their horses.
"Hey, what's going on here? Isn't Xiangyang occupied by our army?" Guan Yu felt strange, because even though Jiangling and Wuling fell, he still had an absolute advantage in Xiangfan, and he stayed in Xiangyang even more. Five thousand soldiers were stationed to guard it, but now it has fallen directly into the hands of the enemy. This is really a strange thing.
At this time, Zhou Cang on the top of the city smiled and said, "General Guan, why don't you understand why our army was able to occupy Xiangyang? Here I might as well explain it to you. When you led the army into Xiangyang, countless people lined up to welcome you. You are proud of this, thinking that you are very popular with the people, but now I have to tell you that the people who welcomed you back then were actually sent by my lord to pretend to be sergeants. Seventy percent of the people moved to Fancheng ahead of schedule, so there were already [-] troops hidden in Xiangyang City, but you didn't know it. We were planning to wait until the most critical moment of your attack on Fancheng to attack you from behind, but we didn't expect to attack you from behind. There was news that your Jiangling and Wuling fell, so I immediately made a decision and led an army to defeat your [-] defenders in the city, captured Xiangyang, and waited for you here. Originally, I was worried whether you would When I returned to Xiangyang, I didn’t expect you to come, haha, it’s God’s will that you died here.”
Then Zhou Cang waved his hand, and saw the rain of arrows falling again, Guan Yu had no choice but to lead his army back.
"Hateful Liu He, I knew he would never give up Xiangfan to me so easily. It turned out that he had set up such a poisonous plan. This boy is no good like Zhou Yu and Sun Quan."
Guan Yu secretly cursed a few words, and led his army to retreat to the south, but just after leaving for more than ten li, he saw a team chasing him from behind, and the first general shouted loudly: "My dear brother Yun Chang, you can't go anymore, Let’s surrender quickly.”
"Xu Gongming", Guan Yu looked at the general in front of him who didn't want to come out, and knew that it was Xu Huang, a famous general in Liu He's army. This person is highly skilled in martial arts and has extraordinary combat power. Normally, he would not necessarily be an opponent. What's more, the soldiers in the army are like bereaved dogs, their combat power is low, and they dare not love to fight. How could they stay and fight with him?So he gritted his teeth and ordered the army to retreat immediately.
Of course, Xu Huang would not let go of such an opportunity. He led his army to chase and kill Guan Yu, causing Guan Yu to lose 2000 people before retreating.
About to lead the army in misery and continue on their way. When they arrived at Yicheng, they suddenly encountered a group of soldiers and horses blocking the way. The general at the head shouted loudly: "Chang Yun, do you still know Zhao Yun? I have been waiting here for a long time."
"Zhao Yun, a common man, broke the oath he made with my eldest brother. How can he have the face to see me today?" Guan Yu gritted his teeth and cursed.However, he knew that he was no longer Zhao Yun's opponent, so he naturally did not dare to fight. He fought hard for a while and broke out. Counting the number of people, he lost another 3000 people. In addition, there were 2000 people in the army who died due to injuries. Falling behind, there are only about 5000 capable men left in the army.
"Your Majesty, it is very obvious now that Liu He has already deployed an ambush in front, not to mention Sun Quan, even Liu He will not let us go to Jiangling, let's go to Shangyong."
Seeing this, Wang Fu tried to persuade him again, but Guan Yu said: "Liu He is still in Lujiang, his strength in Jingzhou is limited, I think this is his last strength, and there will definitely be no one from him to stop him." For me, so if we go further south, we will definitely reach Jiangling."
