Actually, there is really no conspiracy. It is simply because Guan Yu, the general of the Han Dynasty and the coach of the Jingzhou Army, relapsed and fell ill.
Guan Yu's injuries were indeed much lighter than Zhang Liao's injuries, but he had a hole in his chest and abdomen, and his internal organs were injured. Even though he could only be treated with a hasty hemostatic bandage, it would last for a long time. , this injury will be troublesome if not treated.
It's just that Guan Yu is luckier than Zhang Liao. Guan Yu still has some helpers. Whether it's his eldest son Guan Ping or his son-in-law Deng Ai, they are all very capable. Of course, the most important thing is that there is Xu Shu in Guan Yu's army who can hold the battle. As for Guan Yu, he still needs to be like Zhang Liao. Although he is seriously injured, he still needs to worry about the defense of the army and boost the morale of the army.
Compared to Zhang Liao who was unlucky, Guan Yu had to rest for seven or eight days. Only then could he hold on to his injuries and command the army to attack for three days, completely conquering Deng County.
After Deng County was conquered, Guan Yu felt a little more relaxed, and after learning the news of his friend's death, he felt a little depressed. After all this trouble, he couldn't get up on the second day after entering the city.
The injury recurred this time. No matter how much Guan Yinping tried to help Guan Yu physically cool down, Guan Yu was still a little dazed. He was awake and drowsy, and his body temperature fluctuated. In this case, it was certainly impossible for Guan Ping to leave Guan Yu alone. He left it in Deng County and sent troops to attack Wancheng.
Therefore, due to Guan Yu's sudden illness, the march was delayed for a while.
This matter will definitely be detrimental to the big man.
Although the Wei army retreated to Wancheng, it was a newly defeated division after all. The morale of the army must be low. Now that the commander Zhang Liao was killed in Dengxian again, marching into Wancheng now is definitely the time to gain the most. Maybe the Wancheng defenders can still survive. Surrender without a fight.
However, neither Guan Ping nor Xu Shu were in a hurry to march.
After all, this is Guan Yu. Guan Yu's importance to the Han army is no less important than Zhang Liao's importance to the Wei army.
Even in terms of position and influence, Guan Yu's health and safety are much more important than a mere Wancheng.
Therefore, after discussing with Xu Shu, Deng Ai, and Wang Ji, Guan Ping decided to postpone the march to Wancheng to allow Guan Yu some time to rest in peace.
Fortunately, when Guan Yu was just injured, Xu Shu sent people to Xiangyang and invited Zhang Ji's eldest disciple Du Du to come to diagnose and treat Guan Yu. At the same time, he also went to Jiangdong to look for Hua Tuo's disciple Fan A.
At this time, Hua Tuo's disciple Fan A had not yet been invited, but Du Du, who was sorting out his master's manuscripts and works inside Yuelu Academy, immediately came to Deng County after hearing the news.
On the third day after the army entered Deng County and stationed there, that is, the day after Guan Yu fell into confusion, they arrived at Deng County.
Du Du can be regarded as the true successor of Shen Zhang Ji, especially in the field of typhoid fever, and he can be regarded as a person who has made great achievements.
Therefore, Guan Yu's symptoms of body fever, being awake and confused for a while, can be regarded as professional counterparts. After several treatments, Guan Yu's high fever gradually subsided, and he gradually regained consciousness.
But the problem is, Du Du's specialty is really not surgery. He rarely talks about the treatment of trauma. Even if Zhang Ji himself is here, he can only scratch his head about the injuries to Guan Yu's chest and abdomen.
Many of the medical books of these days are obscure and difficult to understand. Most of the time, treatment depends on experience. No one dares to start in a field that they are not good at without enough experience.
Du Du's field of expertise was the same as his master Zhang Ji's, which was typhoid fever. He had little experience in trauma, so he did not dare to diagnose and treat it easily.
In addition, Du Du heard that Xu Shu had sent people to Jiangdong to invite Hua Tuo's disciple Fan A, so he naturally hoped that Fan A would treat Guan Yu's injuries. What he could do was to control Guan Yu's injuries as much as possible. Keep it from getting worse.
Thanks to Du Du's diagnosis and treatment, Guan Yu finally woke up again after being in a coma for three days.
Then Guan Ping was in trouble.
As soon as he heard that the army had not set off in Dengxian for five days, Guan Yu suddenly became angry.
Don't you have a clear idea of which one is lighter and which is more serious, between your injury and national events? !
Guan Yu couldn't say anything to Xu Shu, but he could always train his own son!
Guan Ping was called immediately, and Guan Ping was scolded so hard that he almost got scolded.
At this time, it was Du Du who came forward to save Guan Ping.
Du Du told Guan Yu, if you are angry and want to vent your anger, you can train your son to vent your anger. According to the theory of Zhang Ji, it is not a bad thing to vent your anger when you are angry.
But this kind of thing should be stopped in moderation. You can't train it endlessly. Don't go back and train yourself more and more angrily. If you really get angry and hurt your body, there will be any sequelae. Then don't blame me. The doctor didn't remind you.
Those who criticized Guan Yu didn't know whether they should continue to scold Guan Ping or stop scolding him.
After all, Xu Shu was more reasonable and sent Guan Ping, Deng Ai and others away first to prevent Guan Yu from getting angry, and then he stayed and had a calm discussion with Guan Yu.
According to Xu Shu's intention, it has been delayed for five days anyway. If there are changes in Wancheng, it is already too late to rush over now. It is better to rest temporarily in Deng County.
Isn't this the side of Xiangyang? Ma Liang's second batch of grain and grass has not arrived yet. It's just right. Let's not rush into the army. Let's wait for the grain and grass to arrive before marching into Wancheng.
But Guan Yu was still unwilling to give up the good opportunity to attack. What if Cao Wei couldn't find anyone to take charge of Wancheng's defense for a while, and he didn't have enough troops to support him? !
Another thing, it is already deep winter. This year, thanks to God, there has been no heavy snow. If it is delayed for a few days and heavy snow falls, wouldn't it be more troublesome to march into Wancheng? !
Then... Guan Yu's mouth seemed to be open. The next day, snow began to fall in the Central Plains, and it continued to snow for more than ten days.
Now even if Guan Yu wants to march into Wancheng, he won't be able to use troops for a while. At least he has to wait until the snow stops and see how fast the snow melts before he can decide whether to march.
In this way, heavy snow fell from the sky, temporarily blocking the Jingzhou Army's march north to Wancheng.
Similarly, the Guanzhong area next door is already covered in heavy snow at this time.
The climate conditions in the hinterland of the Central Plains are better than those in the Guanzhong area. It has already begun to snow heavily, let alone the Guanzhong area.
In the Guanzhong area, it has been snowing since early December, and it has been snowing until now. Whether it is the attacking Han Dynasty Northern Expedition Army or the defending Wei Guanzhong Army, they are all in bad luck.
Needless to say, the attacking Han Dynasty Northern Expedition Army finally defeated the main force of Cao Wei's Central Army at the Weishui River. Although Cao Wei's Guanzhong Army withdrew some of its soldiers, it finally completely occupied the Guanzhong area near Mei County and had the opportunity to enter the Three Kingdoms. Auxiliary's springboard can be said to be a great victory.
Unfortunately, a heavy snowfall forced the Northern Expeditionary Corps, which had planned to pursue the victory, to temporarily withdraw to Meixian County to rest and recuperate. At the same time, Liu Bei had to quickly send an order to Zhang Xi in the direction of Wugong County, asking him to immediately suspend his plan to march into Sanfu and rest in place.
It was only through the sneak attack on Mei County that enough grain and grass were seized. Otherwise, this snowy day would also be a great test for the Northern Expeditionary Army's logistical pressure.
As for the Guanzhong Army of the Wei Dynasty on the defensive side, the sudden heavy snowfall indeed brought a rare opportunity for Cao Zhen and Guo Huai to retreat to Chang'an. It was originally a good opportunity to recuperate and restore military morale.
But unable to stand it, the Emperor of Wei issued a message, asking Cao Zhen to lead the Guanzhong Army to evacuate Guanzhong and abandon Chang'an.
Cao Zhen and Guo Huai can somewhat understand this edict.
Although the road is now blocked by heavy snow, the Shu thieves will not be able to kill Sanfu for a while, so they can indeed breathe a little.
But the most critical problem is still unresolved - there are no reinforcements.
Cao Pi couldn't solve this matter for a while. Unless he had the courage to completely lift the cover of the farming people, otherwise, Cao Pi would not be able to immediately create a group of soldiers.
Although it stands to reason that the Wei Dynasty only had more than 50,000 farmers in Luoyang, plus the farmers in Hongnong, Hedong, Hanoi and other places, the total number was quite large.
If we really want to recruit these farmers into the army, it's not like we don't have enough troops to support Chang'an.
But the problem is that the people working in the fields include all men, women, and children, and the soldiers who can join the army can only be young and strong. If you transfer all the young and strong, leaving the old and young women to farm the land, this is the same as wasting a year. What is the difference between the land? !
This is also the reason why Cao Pi did not have the courage to formally start a fight with the aristocratic families.
The aristocratic families don't care about the old and young women when they embezzle the farmers. What they value is the young and strong. If Cao Pi really recruits them all to join the army and fight, if they all die later, who will they embezzle? !
Doing this will definitely make the aristocratic families in the Sili area very dissatisfied.
Therefore, it is understandable that Cao Pi did not have enough reinforcements to support Chang'an. Cao Zhen and Guo Huai were unable to do so, so they reduced their forces, abandoned Zuo Fengyi and Right Fufeng, and trapped Chang'an.
But now that they have suffered a series of defeats, the total number of soldiers who have withdrawn to Chang'an is only 23,000. The morale of the army is extremely low. Fortunately, the heavy snow blocked the road and blocked the pursuit of the Shu thieves. But if the snow melts after the snow, If the speed is faster, Liu Bei really arrives at Chang'an, and Cao Zhen and Guo Huai dare not guarantee that Chang'an will be able to defend it.
At this time, Cao Pi's edict arrived, asking Cao Zhen and Guo Huai to abandon Chang'an. To be honest, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
But in the second half of the edict, the two men took up this tone again.
Cao Pi issued an edict requiring the two men to move all the people and families from Sanfu into the pass.
People are not happy to go out on this snowy day. You want people to move hundreds of miles in this weather and all retreat to the Central Plains? !
Are you sure this is a living person or a dead person? !
