"Yes, no one else can write such a mean letter." Gongsun shook his head, but put the letter in his arms. "As for Xuande... he has been working in Runan as a logistics worker, but I forgot about him!"

"Your Highness, would you like to respond?" Cheng Pu came to his senses and asked quickly. After confirming that Guan Yu had really gone to Xiapi, without knowing whether he would succeed or not, Cheng Demou's sense of crisis and desire for expression became significantly stronger.

"I request you to send out 30,000 troops from the front camp tomorrow for a trial attack!"

"Okay." Gongsun disagreed. "Now that things have reached this point, the war situation is about to change dramatically, and it's time to be honest. Besides, you are the general of the front camp, so there is no need to ask me about this kind of thing... But, Marquis Lu Jun!"

"The general is here!" Lu Fu quickly bowed his head and obeyed his orders.

"Before sunset today, find some women's clothes, wrap them in stone bullets and shoot them back..." Gongsun pressed the horse whip on the other party's shoulders again and ordered. "Add a few documents and say it is my gratitude to Brother Meng De for his kindness."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, even Lu Fudu was stunned for a moment, but Gongsun had already gone straight down Tushan to return to the Chinese army's tent.

"How could I forget Liu Xuande?!"

On September 15th, outside Pengcheng, Guo Jia looked at the neat military formations opposite and was annoyed. "He was in Runan to take charge of logistics for Guandu, which was only one or two days longer than Xiahou from Pengcheng... But as soon as he arrived

, Pengcheng’s local troops and Huainan’s broken troops can be prepared immediately, and it will be difficult for us to attack the city again.”

"It's not your fault." Guan Yu said while twirling his beard. "Liu Xuande is no better than Cao Cao. Because of the great favor he received from Duke Yan, he has never been willing to face the enemy face to face. In this war, he only sent troops to help in the name of reinforcements. He himself has always been

Stay in Runan... However, in the battle of Guandu, Lu Dai and Chen Dao died one after another. Now Xuzhou is in danger, and he didn't know Zhou Yu's safety when he came to help, so naturally he was too lazy to do this kind of superficiality."

"General, please withdraw your troops no matter what!" Guo Fengxiao sighed and turned to face him seriously. "Our troops are insufficient. Now that Liu Bei has arrived, it will be difficult to leave Pengcheng for a while. There are only three or four thousand defenders in Xiapi, and the rest are mostly

The newly surrendered troops must be closely guarded... Therefore, the top priority now is to stabilize Xiapi and quickly occupy the Xuzhou stronghold. Waiting for the Duke of Judgment to move south, when reinforcements from the north will continue to flow, whether it is to secede the Central Plains or use the navy as a

If you take Jianghuai directly, you are sure to win... Don't lose big because of small things!"

"What Deputy Envoy Guo said is true." Zang Ba couldn't help but stepped forward to cross Xu Shu's position and came to the front to persuade him seriously. "General Zhendong was entrusted with the task of the Eastern Front by Duke Yan. Now he has achieved great success, so he can use it as a reward.

The overall situation is of paramount importance... In Pengcheng, even if the aid comes in time, it is just delaying time."

"What you two said is true." Guan Yu replied slowly, as if he didn't mean to get into trouble, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.

It turned out that just when the three of them decided to retreat to Pi because Liu Bei took advantage of the insufficient strength of the Yan army outside Pengcheng last night and led hundreds of cavalry into Pengcheng to stabilize the morale of a large number of defeated troops. Suddenly, Liu Xuande and Xiahou

The flag actually appeared at the city gate... The military formation outside the city, which was still a bit pretentious, immediately became excited like a mountain and a tsunami as more than a hundred cavalry poured out of the city gate hole.

There is no doubt that Liu Xuande's popularity in Huainan is unquestionable, and his pretentiousness is completely understandable... Just after a major defeat, even Zhou Yu, who was in charge of the military of a state, died so easily, Liu Bei said in his heart

He might have already lost his temper. But at this time, he couldn't give up any opportunity to boost morale. Obviously, Liu Xuande and Xia Hou also guessed that the other side was going to withdraw to Xiapi, so they came out to show off their power in the early morning.

It was to show that the Yan army, with only 10,000 soldiers and horses, was frightened away by Liu Bei on his own. It was impossible to say that he was trying to provoke Guan Yu to attack the city and take advantage of the opportunity to win a small victory.

No wonder Guan Yunchang suddenly narrowed his eyes.

In fact, even Guo Jia and Zang Ba could not help but curse inwardly, but they had no choice but to look at Guan Yu carefully to prevent the other party from being angered.

Unexpectedly, Guan Yunchang squinted his eyes and saw Liu Bei and Xia Hou, all dressed in honor guard, arriving in front of the battle majesticly. He sighed slightly: "Liu Xuande is still the same as before, full of knight-errant spirit, regardless of status in everything, and often takes risks.

...Xu Shizi, do you know what a knight is?"

Xu Shu was silent for a moment when he was suddenly asked. After all, he was telling the truth: "I heard Feng Xiao say that a great chivalrous person serves the country and the people."

"That's right!" Guan Yu responded in a deep voice. "But to be a chivalrous person, one must not only know what to do, but also have the fundamental ability to act chivalrously and serve the country and the people. Do you know what a chivalrous person relies on?

"

"It's not the same, right?" Xu Shu said thoughtfully. "Maybe it's for conspiracy, or for strength, or for wealth..."

"But if that's the case, why are they all called heroes?"

Xu Shu was silent for a moment.

"It's a matter of not caring about one's own life. It's a small thing that makes a big difference!" Guan Yu did not rush and taught Xu Shu a lesson in front of the battle. "Tai Shigong You said: 'Words must be acted upon, deeds must be resolute, promises must be made sincerely, and those who do not love others must do so."

When a soldier is in trouble, he is the one who chants his righteousness thousands of miles away. This is what is called a chivalrous person! Therefore, compared with ordinary people who help people in danger and help those in need, chivalrous people have an extra level of courage regardless of their own safety!"

Xu Shu thought for a moment and nodded heavily, while Guo Jia's mouth was dry for a moment and he didn't know what to say.

"And bravery... Tai Shigong also discussed it in "The Biography of Assassins". It may be said that a person who is brave with blood will have a red face when angry; another may be said that a person with a brave pulse will have a green face with anger; or it may be said that a person who is brave with bones will have a green face when angry.

A person's face turns white when he is angry, or a brave person whose face does not change when he is angry." Guan Yunchang continued to speak slowly, but he took advantage of the situation and pointed his finger at Liu Bei, who was a hundred steps away in front of the formation. "Liu Xuande is a prince of one side, and he heard that

When the general he loved was in trouble, he rode hundreds of horses into Pengcheng overnight, which was an act of great courage. But now that he knew that his general he loved was dead and Xuzhou was lost, he was extremely angry, but he still looked calm and went out of the city to form an array... You say

What kind of courage is this?"

"Are you brave?" Xu Shu blurted out.

"But not necessarily." Guan Yunchang twirled his beard and answered. "I have known him for a long time, and I have always known that his face is pale, and he cannot be said to be just a brave person... Just as I am very angry at this moment, but because I have always been red-faced, I can't say that I am

It belongs to a brave person, not just a bloody brave person!"

Xu Shu was confused for a moment, thinking that the other party was telling a joke? But Guo Jia, who had always known Guan Yu's temper, was sweating profusely and could no longer hide his panic. He was speechless under Guan Yunchang's fierce gaze.

Now that Guan Yu had suppressed Guo Jia, he waved back slightly, and someone handed him his strange-shaped long knife. Guan Yu took the knife and hung it upside down behind the saddle. He held the spear in his hand and slowly hit the horse.

Go forward.

On the other side, Liu Bei just came last night, and now he really left the city in a hurry to show off, so he didn't have time to say much with Xiahou. At this time, he steeled himself and took the opportunity to discuss it before the battle, saying that when Guan Yu retreats, Xiahou will immediately

Returning to Changyi to take charge of the defense, Liu Bei could do it alone in Pengcheng... Then he suddenly saw Guan Yu riding forward with a spear. He thought that the other party was going to say goodbye, so they looked at each other and rode forward together.

Of course, Liu Bei and Xia Hou are not pedantic fools. They have always known Guan Yunchang's abilities. However, Liu Bei paid special attention to Zhou Yu. Even his own son was still in his infancy, so he always regarded Zhou Gongjin as a half-parent and half-adopted son.

Mentally, he really wanted to take the opportunity to get Zhou Yu's body back; secondly, Liu Bei also had someone to rely on. He rode beside him and stayed with him. The bell in his waist would ring incessantly at the slightest movement, but he called Gan.

Ninggan thrives.

It is said that Gan Ning was from a wealthy family in Ba County. Last year, during the conflict between Yizhou and Jingzhou, he was seduced by Liu Biao to rebel. However, because he was unpopular with the people of this county, he was easily defeated by Yan Yan, the captain of Ba County, so he had no choice but to escape to Jingzhou by boat. Unfortunately,

His style was reckless, he had lost his family's power, and he had learned from Lu Bu's mistakes, so Liu Biao just despised him like a smelly rag... Therefore, it was natural that he abandoned Liu Biao and joined Liu Xuande, the most popular warrior among the three princes.

This time Liu Bei galloped here under the stars and relied heavily on Gan Xingba and his Hundred Cavalry Bell Soldiers!

Back in front of us, the two sides were a hundred steps apart. Liu Bei and Xiahou led their troops into formation in the city. In addition to the city wall troops in front and behind them, there were also hundreds of horse guards to protect them. In addition, Gan Ning, whom Liu Bei trusted very much, was beside him. Naturally, he was not afraid.

, then moved forward slightly to meet him; Guan Yu slowly urged his horse forward. Zang Ba, Xu Shu, Guo Jia and others looked at the giant blade dragged behind the opponent's horse, but they just broke out in cold sweat and did not even dare to say a word.

Say something...

The two sides each walked for more than ten steps, and when they were sixty or seventy steps apart, Liu Bei and Xia Hou noticed something strange about their old friend on the opposite side. Even Gan Ning became alert... But it was too late, and Guan Yunchang suddenly tightened his grip on the horse's belly.

He rushed straight forward, only sixty or seventy steps, but it only took a moment. Liu Xuande, who was regarded as the target, did not wake up until the opponent rushed towards him. He suddenly reined in his horse and tried to move backward, but it was already too late.

However, at the same time, Gan Ning, who was responsible for guarding, and Zhou Li, the knight on the other side, were well prepared. They both crossed their spears and placed themselves in front of Liu Bei and Xia Hou in time.

However, what is shocking is that Guan Yunchang rushed to Liu Bei and did not draw out the spear as expected. Instead, he held down the spear with his left hand and swung a giant blade from behind with his right hand almost with one arm.

The blade fell with the horse's movement, like a green dragon from top to bottom, rushing forward from behind. The two spears that were clearly held in Gan Ning's and Zhou Li's hands broke off and fell to the ground together.

Although he was frustrated, he still didn't stop. He slashed downwards again, but it directly split the head of Liu Xuande's horse!

Liu Bei fell to the ground, and the two swords he had just taken out of his hands were instantly lost. Guan Yun was unyielding, and after steadying his horse's speed, he struck directly with his sword and struck him on the head. However, Xia Hou tried his best to rein in his horse and came back to help, raising his spear to hold him, but the result was disastrous.

It goes without saying that it was cut in two again, the spear was divided into two ends, and the spear head fell to the ground.

Not only that, Guan Yunchang turned around and narrowed his eyes, then directly turned his hand and swung the knife towards Xia Hou's waist.

Between life and death, Xia Houyuanrang abandoned his horse and rolled to the ground. His horse was frightened, raised its hoof and roared, but Guan Yu's sword cut off half of the horse's back and half of its head, leaving it bloody and bloody.

However, although this kind of broadsword is very powerful, and combined with the extremely sharp blade and Guan Yu's great strength, it also appears to be very lethal, but it is too laborious to use and difficult to control... Guan Yunchang shot three swords and cut three in a row.

The spear and the two horse heads were also weak, and the sword was directly stuck in the horse's bone, making it difficult to pull it out.

At this time, unlike the frightened cavalry around him, Gan Ning was the first to wake up. He turned over and dismounted to protect Liu Bei. He also directly picked up the broken spear on the ground and fought hard towards Guan Yu's crotch mount who was turning to deal with Xiahou.

poke.

The horse under Guan Yunchang's crotch was an ordinary white horse captured from Xuzhou, and it was not his own excellent mount. At this time, he was in pain and lost control directly. However, Guan Yu did not panic and actually took advantage of the opportunity to abandon his sword and dismount and turn around. Waiting for his men to turn around.

, when facing the unarmed Gan Ning, the latter panicked for a moment, and immediately tried to roll to avoid... It turned out that the spear in Guan Yu's hand had not let go, and he stabbed him directly!

A spear poked out, and it finally worked, but it directly pierced Gan Ning, who could not dodge, from the mouth of Zhang Da's exclamation. Poor Gan Xingba came from a wealthy family in Ba County. He had been unruly since he was a child and called himself a tiger minister. As a result, he just

Caught in the ever-changing situation of the world, he died on the battlefield before he became famous, and became a mere ghost under the spear.

In other words, although this continuous movement looks complicated, it is nothing more than three swords and one spear. They can be connected together in the blink of an eye. After the first blow was successful, when Guan Yun Changfu tried to withdraw the spear and failed, the surrounding south

The military cavalrymen had already stepped forward and dragged Liu Bei on the ground to escape back to the formation. Xiahou and Zhou Li also drew their swords and supported each other and ran backwards together. Guan Yu glanced at a few people, no longer lingering, and turned over with his bare hands.

Mounting Gan Ning's horse, he bent down and galloped back to the formation... without saying a word or changing his expression. Just when he was about to meet Zang Ba and others, Liu Bei, whose hands were trembling slightly behind him, shot an arrow with hatred from afar.

, was hit in the shoulder, and he didn't say anything superfluous. He just looked back at Liu Bei, then calmly returned to the formation, and then calmly ordered the whole army to retreat and go down to Xiapi.

Guan Yunchang missed a single hit and retreated as quickly as possible.

On the other hand, Liu Xuande dropped the bow and arrow he snatched from the attendant beside him, and watched the attendant carefully retrieve Gan Ning's body, which was mixed with horse corpse and horse blood, and kept gritting his teeth in silence. But suddenly, a few cavalry soldiers came back.

Returning, after taking Zhou Yu's corpse in exchange for a long sword, he finally lost control over the corpses of the two love generals, and then burst into tears in front of the city gate...

In fact, when Liu Bei arrived in Pengcheng last night and learned that Zhou Yu was dead, he was already filled with shock, anger, and sorrow. However, he had always been intangible with joy and anger, and was unwilling to show his emotions. He could only hold on until this moment and shed tears.

, I have really been patient for a long time.

On September 15th, the night of the full moon, Liu Bei was in Pengcheng in grief and unbearable, but in the Guandu camp, Gongsun suddenly woke up and could not sleep again.

"Something's wrong..." Duke Yan, who had something on his mind, said in a deep voice, "Light the lamp and get the map!"

I am the exposed dividing line

"In the fifth month, Taizu's company camp was slightly ahead, and it was based on sandy soil. It was several tens of miles east and west. Cao Cao also divided the camp into corresponding camps. Taizu set up Tushan Tunnel Car, Cao Cao also built it inside to match. In the four months before and after, each other
