Even though I heard it, I was still a little worried.
Cao Cao ordered the grain and some baggage materials to move slowly along the river until they arrived at Yanjin.
Cao Cao personally led the rear army behind him. Halfway through the march, he heard shouts from the front army. He quickly sent someone to see the situation and reported: "Hebei General Wen Chou's army has arrived, and our army has given up. We are running around for food and grass, but the rear army is too far away, what should we do?"
All this was what Cao Cao expected. He waved his whip and pointed to a place in the south, saying: "You can go here to take shelter first."
So the men and horses went to rest on the small slope. Cao Cao also ordered the sergeants to take off their armor and relax for a while, and put the horses aside.
Wen Chou's army came to cover up the attack. All the soldiers were anxious and said: "The thieves have arrived! We can't rest any more. Hurry up and put the horses away and go back to defend."
Xun You quickly stopped him and said, "This is just a strategy to lure the enemy deeper. Why should we retreat?"
Cao Cao was afraid that the plan would be ineffective if everyone knew about it, so he quickly cast a smiling look at Xun You, who immediately understood and said no more.
Wen Chou seized a lot of supplies and then came to rob horses. The sergeants were immersed in the pleasure of plundering, and they were disorganized and confused.
After seeing this situation, he realized that the time was ripe, and Cao Cao immediately ordered his troops to charge together. Wen Chou's army was in chaos, and Cao Cao's army surrounded him. Wen Chou stepped forward to fight alone, and the sergeants trampled on each other.
The form was chaotic and Wen Chou couldn't control it at all, so he had no choice but to turn around and leave.
This was a good strategy to lure the enemy deeper. When Cao Cao saw Wen Chou preparing to escape, he stood on a small slope and pointed at Wen Chou and shouted: "Wen Chou is a famous general in Hebei who is as famous as Yan Liang. Who can help me capture him?" "
After hearing this, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang immediately came out and shouted: "Wen Chou, where are you going!"
After Wen Chou heard the sound, he turned around and saw the two generals rushing over. He immediately held down his iron spear, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot in the direction of Zhang Liao.
Xu Huang shouted: "The thief will never let go of his arrows!"
Zhang Liao noticed the direction of the bow and arrow and quickly lowered his head to avoid it. However, the arrow hit his helmet and knocked away the feathers. Zhang Liao was unwilling to give in and continued to pursue him. He sat down on his horse and was shot in the face. He knelt on the ground, unable to hold Zhang Liao back. Zhang Liao rolled with him and fell to the ground.
Wen Chou thought it was an opportunity, turned the horse's head, and actually rushed towards Zhang Liao. Xu Huang quickly picked up the weapon and axe, intercepted Wen Chou and fought for several rounds. Xu Huang noticed that the troops behind Wen Chou were coming over. Knowing that he was no match, he turned his horse's head and prepared to retreat, while Wen Chou pursued him all the way.
Suddenly, he saw a dozen cavalrymen rushing over, their flags fluttering in the wind. The leader was a red-faced man. He was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and sitting on the red rabbit horse. He moved at an astonishing speed and stepped forward and shouted: "I am Guan Yunchang." Yes, the thief will leave!"
Wen Chou stepped forward to fight, and the two fought for three rounds. Wen Chou felt a little scared because the opponent's horse was very fast and his martial arts skills were better than his own, so he turned the horse's head and walked around the river.
Red Rabbit was riding fast and was driven over by Guan Yu. He stabbed Wen Chou in the back of the head and cut off his head immediately.
Guan Yu saw this scene clearly. Seeing that Guan Yu killed Wen Chou like this, he felt happy and quickly ordered the army to kill him on the small slope. When the Hebei army saw that its commander had been beheaded, the morale of the army was in chaos. They were on the edge of the Yellow River again, and most of them fell into the water. Previously, All the captured food, grass and baggage were returned to everyone's hands.
Guan Yu led ten cavalrymen to break out of the encirclement. While they were fighting, 30,000 troops led by Liu Bei and Yu Yi came over.
The spy from the front came back to report the situation, saying that the red-faced and long-bearded general had killed Wen Chou again.
Liu Bei and Yu Yi looked at each other, and immediately rode on their horses to find a place to look. They came to a relatively high place, and across the river they saw a pair of cavalry fighting in all directions. The man leading them came and went like flying, and one of them The flag has seven words clearly written on it: "Han Shouting Hou Guanyunchang".
Liu Bei secretly thanked God and said: "It turns out that my second brother is really with Cao Cao!"
Yu Yi also saw clearly and had some doubts in his heart, saying: "Eldest brother knows that Brother Guan has defected to Cao Cao, why is he so happy? This is going to be a loss for us."
Liu Bei said disapprovingly: "Your second brother, I know his habits very well. Loyalty is the most important thing. If he knows that I am still alive, he will definitely come to me." After saying that, he was about to cross the river to meet Guan Yu, but was surrounded by a large number of people. Cao's army surrounded them and they could only retreat temporarily.
On the way back, Yu Yi suggested leaving and analyzed: "This time it is certain that the second brother killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou successively. Yuan Shao will definitely not let us go, so why don't we leave right now."
Liu Bei was confident and said, "That's true, but is there nothing we can do?"
Yu Yi knew that his eldest brother was very good at recognizing people, so he didn't dare to object anymore and had no choice but to follow.
Yuan Shao's follow-up troops also arrived in Guandu. After setting up camp, Guo Tu and Shen Pei immediately went in to meet Yuan Shao and said, "We are very sure that this red-faced man is Guan Yu. Wen Chou was also killed by him. He has been pretending not to know. this matter."
Yuan Shao was furious, feeling that he had been deceived, and cursed: "How dare the big-eared thief deceive me like this!"
Soon after, both Liu Bei and Yu Yi came in. Without saying anything, Yuan Shao asked the swordsman to push Liu Bei out and behead them.
Yu Yi secretly sighed in his heart that it was terrible. He had told Liu Bei before that he could not go back and had to go back. But now it was better and he was going to be beheaded.
Liu Bei looked innocent and asked, "I wonder what crime I have committed?"
Yuan Shao said: "You deliberately sent your brother to kill my general. How is it not a crime?"
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Please let me explain a few words before you die. Cao Cao has always been afraid of me, Liu Bei. Now he knows that I am here with Duke Ming and is afraid that I will help you, so he deliberately asked my second brother to kill your second brother." General, you will definitely be angry when you find out, this is obviously trying to kill me with your hands, I hope Ming Gong can seriously consider it."
Yu Yi added: "I just happened to observe the terrain today. It was General Wen Chou who fell into the trap first, and then others took advantage of the loophole. In addition, I know my second brother's habits very well. He is a loyal man. He must have thought that I My eldest brother is dead, so I took refuge."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao felt it was very reasonable and said: "What Liu Bei and Yu Yi said is right. You two almost made me bear the infamy of killing Zhongliang again."
So he scolded the left and right, and invited Liu Bei and Yu Yi to take their seats.
Liu Bei paid his respects and thanked: "We deeply feel that Ming Gong is kind and wise, but there is really no merit to repay. I want to send a confidant to Guan Yu with my secret message to let him know that I am still alive. And with the news that he is working for Ming Gong, he will definitely come to seek refuge at starry night."
