When the news came from Mobei, Guan Yu and other generals were overjoyed. Zhuge Liang knew the enemy had the upper hand in this battle and had already prepared reinforcements. He also sent other troops to attack the camp and won a complete victory. Everyone was convinced.
Gan Ning and others returned to the camp to report the news. Guan Yu was overjoyed and rewarded Jinfan Army heavily and ordered him to rest first.
Guan Yu ordered people to take Le Jin into custody and asked: "The general is also a tiger general in the world. Are you willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side?"
Le Jin glanced at everyone with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "How was General Guan in Xuchang in the past? Why do you need to ask me again?"
Guan Yu sighed softly, knowing that Le Jin had no intention of surrender, so he sent someone to escort him to Wancheng, where Yang Jun, Jian Yong and others persuaded him to surrender.
Guan Ping said anxiously: "Cao Bureau lost Mobei and its morale is low. Why hasn't it sent troops yet?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Zhang Liao has Jia Xu as his strategist, so he will be careful. If the enemy does not move, our army must not move rashly."
During the discussion, Tan Ma urgently reported that Cao's army divided his troops and went west to rescue Mobei. Zhang Liao personally led the army out of Kunyang to confront Guan Yu.
Zhuge Liang said: "Zhang Liao divided his troops to attack Mobei, but he was worried that the general would rescue him, so he sent out all his troops to fight with him."
Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled and said: "All the generals in Cao's camp, except Wen Yuan, regard them as nothing more than grass and ears. They will be defeated when they leave the city."
Then he sent an order for the army to march out. Guan Yu personally led the troops to Wushui and scouted the horses to report. Zhang Liao sent troops to cross the river and stationed in Henan.
Guan Ping cupped his fists and said, "My child is willing to be the vanguard and kill Cao's army."
Guan Yu frowned and said, "Zhang Liao's use of troops in this way would be risky. What do you think of the military commander?"
Zhuge Liang gently shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "When all Zhang Liao's troops are out, cross the river and go south, they will see Zhang Xiu killed and Yue Jin captured. There are no generals in hand. I intend to fight decisively. If I win, I can take Ye County directly." , Bowang, guard the main road of Nanyang."
Guan Yu snorted coldly: "Zhang Wenyuan wants to use Xiaoyaojin's trick again, putting all his efforts into treating Guan as a blue-eyed child. This is going too far!"
Zhuge Liang said to Guan Ping: "The young general went to test the truth and fight with all his strength. If he can win, he will win. But remember not to chase the enemy. That Jia Xu is cunning and calculating, so be careful of falling into the trap."
Guan Ping was overjoyed and led his troops out first. Four or five miles away from the river, he saw crowds of people and horses in front of him and flying dust. Cao's army was camping on the bank. Seeing the enemy's arrival, he immediately set up a formation on the bank of the river.
Guan Ping saw from afar that Cao's army numbered only two or three thousand, so he urged his troops forward and shouted: "Cao's traitor has usurped the throne, why don't you surrender quickly?"
A general in Cao's camp urged his horse forward and shouted: "This is Dong Heng, come and give me your name!"
"Guan Ping is right!" Guan Ping has been following Guan Yu since he arrived in Jingzhou. He practiced martial arts hard but failed to show it. He was already ready to attack the enemy general.
"If Guan Yu comes, what can he do to me?" Dong Heng smiled coldly and rode to meet the enemy.
The two horses crossed each other, and there was only a loud noise. Dong Heng's arms went numb, and he was shocked. Sure enough, the tiger father had no son, and he shouted: "Brothers, come together!"
Later, Dong Chao was already ready to fight. The two enemies stayed in Guan Ping, but Guan Ping was not afraid. The three of them fought like a revolving lantern.
After fighting for more than 20 minutes, Zhou Cang saw a large number of Cao's troops appearing on the other side, preparing to cross the river. He was worried that Guan Ping would make a mistake, so he led his troops and rushed forward.
Zhou Cang caught Dong Chao and fought with him. The drums were beating loudly in Cao's camp. Cao's army came from the shore to fight. The two armies were fighting in a melee.
In front of Cao Jun's formation on the other side, a red flag suddenly waved. Soon a group of troops from upstream rushed up quickly, outflanked the Guanping troops from behind, and surrounded them on three sides. The Han army's formation was in chaos.
"There is an ambush, leave quickly!" Guan Ping was shocked, brandishing his sword to force Dong Heng back, and called Zhou Cang to break out.
The two took turns to cover, fought hard, and risked their lives to break out of the encirclement. Cao's army then covered up the enemy, and the Han army was defeated and fled.
Guan Yu was leading his troops to march when he suddenly saw the front army retreating. When he learned that Guan Ping was lying in ambush, he was so frightened and angry that he urged Red Rabbit to cross over the rebel army and attack Cao Jun directly.
Guan Ping and Zhou Cang gathered the remaining troops and followed them, turning back to fight. Along the way, they saw Cao's army fighting for weapons and making a mess.
Guan Yu rushed forward and swept his Qinglong Saber across. Three or four people flew into the air, screaming in agony.
Cao Jun heard the sound of horse hooves and looked up to see it was Guan Yu. He did not resist at all, threw away his weapons and the supplies he had grabbed, abandoned his armor and ran away.
"How dare a dog thief attack by surprise? You will die!" Guan Ping was filled with shame and anger. He urged his horse to follow Guan Yu closely and waved his troops to cover up the killing.
Cao's army knew about Guan Yu's bravery, so they panicked and fled all over the mountains. They were defeated. The rebel army rushed straight into the camp on the river bank. The defenders were in chaos and beat drums to warn.
Dong Heng and Dong Chao hurriedly left the camp. Seeing Guan Yu's attack, they were frightened to death. Dong Heng was stabbed in the head by Guan Yu, and Dong Chao yelled strangely and galloped his horse to escape.
Guan Yu rushed straight into Cao's army and swept across with his sword, killing all the enemies and causing Cao's soldiers to fall on their backs.
Guan Ping then rushed to the scene, bumped into the panicked Dong Chao, and cut him off his horse with a sword. Cao's army was completely defeated and fled in all directions on the shore.
Guan Yu and his son divided their troops into two groups, chasing Cao Jun from east to west along the river. They chased Cao Jun to death, and most of them jumped into the water to escape. The dancing water splashed with water, and the crowd was overcrowded.
Cao Jun on the other side shouted anxiously, but there was nothing he could do. Guan Yu was patrolling the shore like a tiger. Who dared to go to rescue people?
Under the gate flag, Jia Xu's short and skinny figure was hidden in the shadows, stroking his beard and saying: "When father and son go into battle, Guan Yunchang is as powerful as before!"
Zhu Ling said anxiously: "Military advisor, do you want to save me or not?"
Jia Xu said calmly: "Let him kill him!"
Zhu Ling was shocked and said in a low voice: "As a colleague, how can you ignore death and not save him?"
Jia Xu said: "Fishing requires fragrant bait, not to mention lying on the tiger?"
Zhu Ling was stunned. Although he didn't understand what Jia Xu meant, he knew that the death of Dong Heng brother was expected by Jia Xu. He sighed: "It's a pity that the two brothers died in vain."
Jia Xu said calmly: "Since you have eaten the king's salary, you should be loyal to the Lord. If you exchange the lives of Dong Heng and others for the stability of the Central Plains, you will be worthy of death."
At this time, Cao's army had all been forced to jump into the river. Guan Yu immediately raised his sword and ordered his soldiers to shout in unison: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Compassion doesn't control soldiers!" Jia Xu shook his head and sighed softly, holding his beard behind his back.
Zhu Ling shuddered when he heard this, and turned to look at this usually inconspicuous old man. He saw that he was very low-key, walking in the crowd just like ordinary people, but he was so ruthless in his actions.
The horses on the other side were his own, and Jia Xu was actually speaking for Guan Yu. If he wasn't deeply trusted by Cao Cao, Zhu Lingzhen suspected that this man was working for Liu Qi.
Jia Xu naturally saw Zhu Ling's shock and said: "How could Guan Yu fall into the trap without a general and elite soldiers to seduce him?"
"Fell into a trap?" Zhu Ling looked at the embarrassed Cao army on the opposite side, and suddenly remembered that Zhang Liao had not been seen yet, and hurriedly asked: "Is General Zhang still ambushing on the shore?"
"How can you defeat the enemy by ambushing the river bank?" Jia Xu shook his head slightly, looked up and saw a horse galloping in the distance, carrying yellow sand flying, he chuckled: "My plan has worked!"
Guan Yu occupied the river bank to persuade Cao Jun to surrender. He was about to send someone to report to Zhuge Liang and send an army to camp on the river bank. Suddenly, he rushed to report that the camp was attacked by Cao Jun.
Guan Yu was shocked and said: "Who is so bold?"
Tan Ma replied: "It's Zhang Liao!"
"Does Zhang Wenyuan really think that someone is Sun Quan?" Guan Yu knew that he had been tricked and hurriedly led his troops to retreat and come back for reinforcements.
