Chapter 428 Flooded Seven Armies (6)
Sun Quan was refusing to marry by Guan Yu!
In addition, Guan Yu also insulted him, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. His anger could no longer be suppressed. He wished he would be beheaded by Guan Yu now, and then he summoned everyone to discuss the attack on Jingzhou.
Even Zhang Zhao, who was pro-Cao, was silent when he raised the issue of attacking Jingzhou.
Bu Zhi, the first speech, raised an erratic objection, which made him calm down a little and explained:
"Because Jingzhou shares the natural danger of the Yangtze River with me, Jiangdong, and always threatens the safety of Jiangdong. Although it is temporarily an ally, it still makes me feel like a ray of light in my back. Only by taking it in my own hands can I feel at ease! I have been thinking about taking Jingzhou for a long time, but because Cao Cao's threat always exists, I compromised and maintained the Sun-Liu alliance. Now Cao Cao was defeated by Liu Bei and offered to join forces with me. I think it is a good opportunity, not because Guan Yu refused to marry me and raised an army in anger."
Bu Zhi knew that Sun Quan had accepted his opinion, but his intention was not to give up Jingzhou, so he continued to suggest to Sun Quan:
"Lord, Cao Ren is now stationing heavy troops in Wancheng and Fancheng. From Xinye, there is a dry road to Xiangyang. There is no danger of the Yangtze River. How can we not send troops to capture Jingzhou? Cao Cao has the opportunity to capture Jiangling when he gets Xiangyang, so he can look at Jiangdong. Now Cao Cao rebels to order his lord to launch troops? This is how he is not good at it. I heard that Guan Yu had received the reward from Liu Bei, and he had already prepared to fight Cao's army. The lord can send envoys to Xudu to meet Cao Cao and propose that Cao Ren raises troops to capture Jingzhou first on the dry road. Guan Yu will definitely seize the troops of Jingzhou to fight. If Guan Yu fights and wins, he will definitely counterattack Fancheng. Even if Cao Ren wins, Guan Yu will definitely mobilize the support of Jiangling defenders. Just wait for Guan Yu's army to move, and the lord can send a general to secretly take Jiangling, and Jingzhou can be obtained in one fell swoop."
Sun Quan was afraid that Bu Zhi would continue to oppose attacks on Jingzhou, so that he could not get out of office, but unexpectedly he gave a good idea.
Sun Quan was satisfied with Bu Zhi and acted like a good person. He also sought some advice from others.
They did not propose a better solution. Sun Quan followed his proposal and immediately sent an envoy north to write a letter to Cao Cao and talked about the matter.
When Cao Cao received a letter from Sun Quan, he saw that it was indeed as Jia Xu expected. Sun Quan wanted to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.
Cao Cao was overjoyed, and he did not expect Sun Quan to send troops to attack Guan Yu immediately. As long as he did not send troops to help, it meant that he had created a crack in the Sun-Liu alliance.
Cao Cao agreed to the envoy and immediately sent Cao Ren to attack Xiangyang. He sent the envoy back to Jiangdong first, so that Sun Quan could prepare early and wait for Cao Ren to send troops.
The cooperation had not yet begun, and Cao Cao did not dare to break his promise. He immediately sent Man Chong to Wancheng to help Cao Ren attack Xiangyang. He was a staff officer and discussed the movement of troops. Then he sent an envoy to Jiangdong and ordered the troops to be led to the water to take Jingzhou.
After Guan Yu received Liu Bei's reminder, he knew that a battle with Cao's army was inevitable, so he had already assembled the army and sent a large number of spies.
On that day, the spy came to report that Cao Ren had sent troops and 30,000 troops arrived in Xinye City.
It seems that Cao's army is preparing to attack Xiangyang from Xinye.
Although Xinye is just a small town, its geographical location is very important. Therefore, Liu Biao asked Liu Bei to station troops in Xinye to prevent Cao Cao from attacking Xiangyang.
Guan Yu has been guarding Xiangyang for several years, and Xinye is his old base, so he is naturally not afraid of Cao Ren's mistakes.
Now Xiangyang is in good weather and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so Guan Yu naturally does not want to burn the war to his own territory.
After Guan Yu received the report, he was ready to take action first. Even if Fu Shiren and Mi Fang were given the vanguard, he would lead an army first and camp outside Xiangyang City and head to Xinye tomorrow.
Guan Yu will go to war tomorrow and arranges various matters in the city. Before the second update, the fire broke out in the military camp outside the city.
Guan Yu thought that Cao's army was sneaking into the military camp outside the city, and hurriedly put on horseback. When he led the army out of the city to inspect, it was Fu Shiren and Mi Fang who drank alcohol, and the fire was left behind after the tent, which caused the fire in the camp to rise.
The cannons were burning, and the camp was shaking, burning all the weapons, food and supplies that tens of thousands of troops went to war.
Guan Yu led his troops to rescue him, and the fire was extinguished until the fourth hour, and more than half of the food and grass were lost.
Guan Yu was furious and summoned Fu Shiren and Mi Fang into the city, and shouted:
"I asked you two to be vanguards. I never went out to the army. I first burned many military weapons, food and grass, and killed dozens of soldiers in the headquarters. What's the point of making such a mistake?"
Fu Shiren was Liu Bei's old subordinate. He was naturally not a simple person who could follow Liu Bei for decades and survive on the battlefield.
That is, the famous generals such as Liu Bei's subordinates, Zhang and Zhao, made Fu Shiren, who had a strong martial arts skills, not famous.
Mi Fang is Liu Bei's second brother-in-law, and his status is no less than Guan Yu.
The Mi family put all their lives on Liu Bei. The Mi family's brothers fled with Liu Bei from Xuzhou, and their martial arts were not weak.
The two knew that they had violated military law this time, so they obeyed the ground and kept apologizing.
But Guan Yu was angry and refused to give in and ordered him to behead him.
When he said that, Guan Yu felt a little regretful. Not to mention that Mi Fang's status was transcendent, it was not something that Guan Yu could kill just by saying that he was killed. Even Fu Shiren was also Liu Bei's confidant. Even if there was any mistake, only Liu Bei had the right to deal with it, and it was not something that Guan Yu could kill just by saying that he was killed!
Although several warriors held two people, they did not push out. However, Guan Yu had already said that he was unable to make a living, so he had to take the initiative. Even if he was punished by Liu Bei, he had to maintain his majesty.
Fortunately, Ma Liang came out to plead in time and advised Guan Yu:
"If you have not taken the army, you will be killed first, which will be unfavorable to the army. You can temporarily exempt you from your crime."
Guan Yu had no right to kill Mi Fang. Seeing Ma Liang come out to plead with him, although he was angry, he scolded the two:
"If you don't look at General Annan, you will be killed by the heads of both of you. You will be punished by death, but you will be unable to forgive your life!"
He asked those warriors to push the two out, each of them forty sticks, took off the vanguard seal, deprived half of the army and horses, and handed them over to Guan Ping and Liao Hua, and punished Mi Fang to lead the remaining troops to guard Nanjun, and Fu Shiren to lead the remaining troops to guard the public security.
After dealing with the two, Guan Yu was still angry and continued to scold the two:
"You two must keep your duty carefully. If there is any mistake, when I come back from victory, I will report to the King of Hanzhong to punish both crimes!"
The two of them have a position in the army, only under Guan Yu in Jingzhou. This time they were scolded by Guan Yu in public. They were ashamed of being so disrespectful.
In this world, soldiers are the foundation of one's own life. The two of them were indignant about their own troops being taken away, but they did not dare to refuse to follow and left.
Guan Yu changed his order to Liao Hua as the vanguard, Guan Ping as the deputy general, led 10,000 troops to advance, led the central army, with a total of 50,000 troops, and used Ma Liang as the staff to conquer them together.
Guan Yu is bound to win this battle.
