Chapter 114: Wu Sheng Xianwei
When Yuan Shao gathered 100,000 troops in Yecheng and headed south to Guandu, Cao Cao faced the most headache-inducing crises in history, but he still solved them one by one.
In addition, under Jia Xu's persuasion, Zhang Xiu of Wancheng also surrendered to the city, so that he could finally concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao without any worries.
However, Yuan Shao only distributed 10,000 cavalry to attack Baima, and forced Cao Cao to transfer the main force stationed in Guandu to rescue.
Even so, it is still impossible to fight back the enemy.
Just when the white horse was in a hurry, another reinforcement from Xuzhou came. It turned out that it was the surrendered general Zhang Liao who was recruited by Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu.
This cold-hearted general stepped into the tent and bowed to all the bosses, and finally bowed to Cao Cao and said, "The last general Zhang Liao heard that the white horse was trapped, so he led his troops to support him."
Guo Jia immediately said: "Is it the Hanoi Iron Cavalry led by Lu Bu back then?"
Xun You couldn't help but sigh: "This can defeat Yan Liang's army."
Cao Cao asked, "How many people?"
Zhang Liao said: "Five hundred."
Yu Jin said in the jam: "There are ten thousand cavalry in Hebei. After several hard battles and resistance from our army, although there are losses, there are still at least eight thousand soldiers to fight."
Xu Huang added: "Besides, Yan Liang himself is also unstoppable."
Zhou Yang always knew that Zhang Liao was brave and was no less than Yan Liang, so he said, "No matter what, it is always a good thing to have General Zhang Liao help him. I will give you the general the first tomorrow. I am willing to help you."
Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "The last general has just arrived and does not know the strength of the enemy. The lord has countless powerful generals. If a new little surrendered general takes the lead, wouldn't it make people laugh at me, Cao's army? Besides, the Zhou Lord Shou himself is a person admired by the last general. How dare the Zhou general let the Zhou Prefect..."
Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Cao Cao and said, "Does General Zhang Liao have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
Everyone was looking forward to the sudden question. Zhang Liao was not questioned, but pointed at the three great counselors Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and Xun You and said: "In terms of talent, we will not be as good as the three gentlemen at all."
Then he turned his eyes to other military generals and said, "In terms of martial arts, the general who defeated the army is even more courageous."
Xiahou Yuan sighed: "General Zhang Liao is also valuable."
Zhang Liao said: "But the person who came to the White Horse to rescue the siege was not the last general, but another surrendered general. I just didn't know whether the lord would use him."
Zhou Yang was shocked when he heard this, and immediately thought of who the rescuer was Zhang Liao's mouth.
At the same time, he secretly scolded himself for being confused. Whether it is the Romance or the historical facts, he could have anyone else who could enter the enemy's formation and stab Yan Liang under the horse, except for Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, who respected everyone as the martial saint.
When Cao Cao planned to kill Liu Bei, he asked Guan Yu to take him hostage, so that Liu Bei could escape.
As a result, Guan Yu himself was trapped, and he still lives in Cao's camp.
Cao Cao respected his martial arts and cherished his loyalty and righteousness. He did not dare to let him go, nor could he bear to behead him, so he could only leave him idle. I hope he could one day change his mind and be sincerely loyal to Cao.
But so far, Guan Yu has not shown any statement.
Now Zhang Liao only brought 500 surrendered troops to support the Baima siege, but said that the person who rescued the siege was Guan Yu.
This made everyone unbelievable and made Cao Cao reluctant.
"It's better, it's okay to give it a try." Guo Jia suggested.
"He claimed that if he could not lift the siege of Baima, he would rather die in the battlefield to repay Cao Gong's favor than kill him." Zhang Liao said.
"If Guan Yu really can defeat Yan Liang, our army can rush back." Xun You also agreed, "Please make a quick decision on this matter so as to prevent Yuan Shao's army from going south to Guandu."
"My father-in-law!" Zhou Yang stood up confidently with his foreseeable confidence, "The son-in-law agreed to General Zhang Liao's proposal, and he also believed that a person who dared to say that he could break the siege of the white horse must be a master of art and courage, and must have his real materials."
Just as everyone was waiting for Cao Cao's final decision, Guan Yu asked for a meeting outside the tent.
Only after Zhang Liao's request again did he agree to let the surrender enter.
Guan Yu stepped into the tent with a stern look, glanced at everyone with no courage, and said, "In the battle tomorrow, please ask Lord Sikong to let the general come to battle. If Yan Liang cannot be killed on the horse, the general will come to see him."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was uproared.
As long as he has seen Yan Liang and his Hebei cavalry lineup and powerful military generals, he thinks he is arrogant and arrogant.
The other strategists were speechless and could not understand what certainty Guan Yu was. They dared to say such arrogant words in the army. They were both incredible and were waiting for his answer with great anticipation.
However, Guan Yu had no clever tricks, and never saw Yan Liang's powerful cavalry before, and said, "The last general only needs one thing."
Cao Cao immediately responded: "But it's okay."
Guan Yu's eyes turned to Zhang Liao and smiled and said, "Brother Wenyuan can understand."
Zhang Liao contacted him with his eyes, and both sides felt sympathy. He even laughed when he heard this: "There is something that Brother Yun called in the army, and I hope the lord will fulfill it."
The two surrendered generals with outstanding martial arts skills, one called Cao Cao Sikong, and the other called him the lord. Obviously, the former was in Cao's camp and the heart was in Han, while the latter was in true surrender.
In contrast, he couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow.
Seeing that the two of them were facing the crisis in front of them easily, Zhou Yang finally couldn't help asking: "What exactly is it?"
Zhang Liao replied: "Spirited wine!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "In the battle tomorrow, I will personally present wine to General Guan."
The next day, Cao and Yuan armies confronted each other again on the white horse battlefield.
Both sides set up a formation and each beat drums to cheer.
Although Yan Liangjun has not been able to win the white horse in recent days, he has high morale because of his repeated battles. Even if the main force of Cao's army comes to rescue, he will not let him go.
According to the inference of the strategists, as long as Yan Liang trapped the main force of Cao's army in the white horse and reported it back, Yuan Shao would be very likely to change his strategy and go directly to Guandu.
Therefore, today's battle has to be decided quickly.
If Guan Yu could not fulfill his promise and could not defeat Yan Liang's Hebei cavalry this time, Cao Cao would launch the entire army without sacrificing all costs. He would inevitably suffer heavy losses at that time, but he would be helpless.
Now, Cao Cao and the generals looked at the terrifying Hebei cavalry, and it was finally time to decide the outcome.
Zhang Liao, who was watching the enemy, asked, "What do you think, Brother Yun?"
Guan Yu said coldly: "Just have wine."
Cao Cao immediately ordered someone to get a jar of strong wine, but said with a strange look: "This wine is called Zanglong Wine."
Zhou Yang couldn't help but ask, "Is it the strong wine produced in the Western Qiang?"
Cao Cao showed a strange look on his face and smiled, "You boy can actually understand this wine."
This is the Qiang wine that Ding Xiao invited him to drink before the duel with him in Wancheng.
When wine enters the throat, it runs into every part of the body like a living dragon, making its blood boil. It is not afraid of life and death during battle. It is a war wine that the Qiang people only offer to the bravest warriors when they go to war, and it is also a unique spirit.
I saw Guan Yu holding the Tibetan wine like a little, and pouring a few sips into his mouth, but the last sip was sprayed on the Qinglong Yanyue Blade in his hand.
His face, which was originally as red as a date, was so red that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was full of alcohol.
Guan Yu rode a war horse, carried a big sword on his back, and said coldly: "When I take down Yan Liang's head, please send troops to attack immediately, and you can defeat the Hebei cavalry in one battle."
Cao Cao asked, "How many people need to go with the general?"
Guan Yu sneered: "One person is enough!"
After saying that, he immediately slapped his horse and headed straight for the enemy.
Although Zhou Yang was very skilled and brave, he was still frightened by the sight, and everyone was even more dumbfounded by this.
Not far away, Yan Liang saw Cao's army alone coming, and looked disdainful. In addition, he did not take the other party seriously after winning battles. He raised his head and shouted: "If Cao thief sends people to seek peace, the corresponding conditions must be issued, otherwise we will never agree."
Guan Yu's galloping horse under the scorching sun, and his whole body was filled with alcohol. A pair of Danfeng's eyes were as cold as sharp blades, and he rushed into the enemy formation without saying a word.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden action. When Yan Liang recovered from his senses, he rushed forward to protect the chief general.
Guan Yu shouted violently, and the sound of the entire battlefield had not disappeared, and it was full of shock.
No matter who is blocking him in front of him, I don’t know when the Qinglong Yanyue Dragon will be swung out behind him.
Cao Cao, Zhou Yang and other generals and counselors did not see clearly what was going on.
In the dazzling sunshine, blood was flowing between Guan Yu's knife's mouth. He held the knife horizontally, and Yan Liang's head was placed on the blade without moving.
Zhou Yang took a deep breath, not to mention when and how fast he would have used the knife.
If the enemy does not wait for the enemy to react to the sneak attack, the thunderous hand will definitely cut the enemy's first splash under the impact, but he can coordinate and calm the contradiction between the two conflicts.
With such knife skills and mood alone, Xinglie, who is listed as Ding Xiao’s level, is worthy of being the name of the folk martial saint.
"The whole army attacked!" Cao Cao decided to make a decisive decision when he saw Guan Yu succeed.
Yan Liang's head was taken down. It was not until Cao's army came that the cavalry of Hebei in the army reacted. Although they surrounded Guan Yu one after another, they were obviously suppressed and lost their fighting spirit.
With Cao Cao personally storming his troops, the Hebei cavalry was even killed and overturned, and the army was defeated.
Guan Yu's hair was not damaged, so he retreated to the army to meet with Cao's army and killed the enemy together.
Before sunset, more than 7,000 Hebei cavalry were killed or injured, most of them surrendered, and less than one hundred deserters from the rear left were injured and left.
The battle between the White Horse ended, and Cao Cao also knew that it was urgent and immediately led the main force back to Guandu overnight to continue defending.
Yu Jin, Liu Yan and other military generals continued to stay in Baima and were responsible for the defense measures in Yanjin and other places.
However, after Guan Yu killed Yan Liang, he left without saying goodbye when Cao Cao rushed back to Guandu overnight. Zhang Liao led Lu Bu's old subordinates to face the battle of Guandu with Cao's army.
