Chapter 463 Defeating Maicheng (3)
After thinking about it, Guan Yu thought that the only person who could avenge him was the only one who could revenge him.
Although he is an adopted son, his father and son have a deep relationship with each other, and his martial arts are all his true teachings. He is also a good player in leading troops to fight. He is expected to avenge himself.
Guan Yu didn't want to send someone to Shangyong for help, but Liu Feng's little troops were really not enough to make the main Jiangdong Army and Cao Cao's army block the gap between them.
Now it is a good excuse to leave Guan Ping's life to avenge himself, so he said:
"Liu Feng guarded Shangyong, with only more than 10,000 troops, but he was highly respectful. Last time he refused to fight with our army, he sent people to ask for help this time, but most of them refused to go forward. Only my son Guan Ping, who once studied literature and martial arts with Liu Feng, fought side by side in Xichuan, had a good friendship. Do you dare to break out and go to Shangyong to seek rescue? Shangyong's army was too few after all, and Xichuan needed to send troops. It is the right thing to do. Regardless of whether Liu Feng sent troops or not, you go straight to Chengdu and ask for help from your uncle."
Guan Ping was about to agree, but suddenly realized that his father was trying to help him, so he immediately changed his words:
"My father's arm injury has not healed, I want to stay by my side to take care of him. Who would you like to go?"
Looking at the dark enemy troops outside the city, the generals were not sure to break out and remained silent. Guan Ping looked at Liao Hua.
Among the generals under Guan Yu, in terms of martial arts, Liao Hua was under Guan Ping.
Liao Huajiu followed Guan Yu to fight, and his martial arts was carefully guided by Guan Yu. He was known as Guan Yu's right-hand man in the army as Guan Ping.
This time when Cao Ren was attacked, the two of them were both pioneers in the front and formed a deep friendship.
The two of them cooperated tacitly. Seeing Guan Ping's eyes, Liao Hua stood up and said:
"I'm willing to go!"
Guan Ping said:
"Yuan Jian, although you have great martial arts skills, at least two generals have intercepted the city outside the city by the Jiangdong Army. You can't beat four hands with both fists. I escort you to break through the siege."
Xichuan has a long journey, and there are few mediocre soldiers and generals. Guan Yu is not enthusiastic about sending envoys to seek rescue.
But now he has no ability to regain Jingzhou. He can delay for a while and give his elder brother Liu Bei time to counterattack. There is no way to do so.
Seeing that Guan Ping was unwilling to leave, he did not force him to let Liao Hua go, so he picked up a pen to write a letter to Liu Feng and his elder brother Liu Bei, and gave it to Liao Hua to hide it beside him.
Liao Hua prepared dry food, fed the horses, and fed himself. Then he turned over the horses and opened the door and left the city with Guan Ping.
Shortly after leaving the city, he met Wu general Xu Sheng and Ding Feng intercepted his way.
Liao Hua and Xu Sheng had the same battle, but Ding Feng was defeated by Guan Ping and was defeated. Guan Ping intercepted Xu Sheng and fought. Liao Hua took advantage of the situation and broke through the siege and surrendered to Yong.
Seeing Liao Hua breaking through successfully, Guan Ping also retreated to Xu Sheng and retreated into the city.
Since Wang Fu offered his advice to Guan Yu, Guan Yu has also been very confused.
After Liao Hua broke through to seek help, Guan Yu sat alone every day and thought about it, handing over all the defense in the city to Guan Ping.
Although Maicheng was small, because of Wang Fu and Zhao Lei brought the grain team to Maicheng early, and there was no worries about food and supplies for a while.
Guan Ping did not dare to disturb Guan Yu, and ordered the generals to hold on, as if he was waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Although Guan Yu only had thousands of troops, Lu Meng was very afraid of Guan Yu's bravery. He now surrounded him and did not attack because he was fighting until Guan Yu had no food.
...
...
Liu Feng and Meng Da lived a bad life in Shangyong. Since he refused to jointly attack Fancheng with Guan Yu, he was afraid of being criticized by Guan Yu. He seemed to be under a stone in his heart and was very concerned about the battle situation in Fancheng.
When the news of Guan Yu flooding the Seven Armies came, Liu Feng and Meng Da looked neither good-looking.
Because the greater the contribution Guan Yu made, the greater the power of the Liu Bei group, the greater the voice, and the harder they would have in the future.
Especially Liu Feng, when he heard that his partner Guan Ping, who fought side by side, had already become famous throughout China, and he not only missed a good opportunity to make contributions.
Moreover, he created a powerful political enemy like Guan Yu out of thin air, and he could not help but feel a little resentful towards Meng Da who dissuaded him from sending troops.
But Liu Feng had no way to have an attack because the two of them were not in charge of each other and no one could do anything to each other. They were now in a state of disagreement with each other.
On this day, the horse stalker brought shocking news. Guan Yu, who had an army of 100,000, was defeated by Xu Huang in Fancheng.
Victory and defeat were common in military affairs, and Liu Feng and Meng Da couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
Guan Yu's defeat and retreat were a significant blow to the morale of the entire Liu Bei group, but it may not be a bad thing for both of them.
What happened immediately afterwards seemed to confirm the saying "defeated as a mountain of defeat", and bad news came one after another.
First, the spy came to report that after Guan Yu was defeated in Fancheng, he was stolen by Xiahou Shang and captured the empty Xiangyang City. Guan Yu had to retreat to Jiangling.
A few days later, another spy came to report that Lu Meng from Jiangdong took advantage of the public security and Jiangling's troops were empty and sneaked into the public security. Jiangling City and Guan Yu had no place to gain a foothold in Jingzhou.
This time, Liu Feng and Meng Da couldn't sit still. If Guan Yu could not retake Jiangling, there were not many places that could retreat, just Yidu County and Shangyong County.
If Guan Yu wanted to regain Jingzhou again, he would definitely lead the army to retreat to Shangyong first. After all, Shangyong is also one of the nine counties in Jingzhou, and he did not leave Jingzhou.
The two really don’t know how to deal with this situation. Once Sun Quan or Cao Cao County chased and the situation in Shangyong is serious, Guan Yu will definitely take over the command of the army and there will be a situation where the magpie nest is occupied.
Although the two were in a bad mood, they did not want this to happen, so they had to sit together to study countermeasures.
Naturally, the two did not have the courage to take the initiative to send troops to rescue Guan Yu, but they still couldn't reach an agreement on the command of Shangyong's army. The two were arguing, and suddenly they called Guan Yu's general Liao Hua to the point of his visit.
When I was in Jingzhou, Liu Feng and Liao Huafen's colleagues had little age difference and had a good relationship. I asked immediately and asked:
"Why did Yuan Jian come?"
Liao Hua looked haggard and said to Liu Feng:
"General Guan was defeated in Fancheng, and was attacked by Lu Meng and captured Gong'an and Jiangling. He failed to attack Jiangling. He was defeated again by Lu Meng. He was trapped in Maicheng and was surrounded in a hurry. The reinforcements in Xichuan were long and could not arrive at the near future. He specially ordered me to break out and come here to ask General Liu for help. I hope the two generals will raise Shangyong's troops to save this danger. If they delay, Maicheng will be captured."
Liu Feng was unsure of his mind, so he said to Liao Hua:
"The general came from afar, and the journey was hard. Let me have a meal and rest first. Let me and Prefect Meng make a plan."
Liao Hua was led by the guards to rest in the inn and had a full meal. Although he was very sleepy, Liao Hua kept keeping his eyes open and waiting for news that Liu Feng sent troops.
It was not until midnight that there was no news yet, and Liao Hua could not hold it anymore, so he fell asleep.
