Huang Mochou and her husband had fought in dozens of battles since then, but they had never fallen into this embarrassing situation. She was somewhat unwilling to accept it and asked, "What is going on?" Yu Yi said, "In Before entering Wuguan, we also asked about your name. The people here didn't want to see you, saying that you were ruthless, so I divided the soldiers I brought with me into two groups. I led a dozen people to march forward, while the others marched forward. Go to your mountain stronghold and wipe you out. What I didn't expect was that you actually ambush me, and the stronghold is empty." Yu Yi said, then walked up to Xiaoli, hugged her, and showed affection. Looking like that, he continued: "Fortunately, my wife and I have a good understanding. She learned about your plan from you bandits and knew that I was ambushed, so she set up a dragnet in the stronghold. Finally, she waited until I threw a cup as a sign, Catch you all in one fell swoop.”
After hearing this, Huang Mochou burst into laughter and said, "Although I stumbled, there is one thing that is right!"
Yuyi was a little confused after hearing this and asked, "What is it?"
He replied: "If we had recruited you into our village earlier to become a military advisor, we wouldn't be like this!"
Yu Yi sighed and said, "How can my ambition be to become the military advisor of a small village?"
Huang Mochou smiled and said: "You are just a scholar. If you don't become a military advisor, why do you still lead troops to fight? If nothing else, I'm afraid you are no match for a woman like me!"
Yuyi knew that this was Huang Mochou's provocation, forcing him to duel with her, and then using himself as a hostage to protect other bandits from escaping.
Yu Yi borrowed an ordinary halberd from the surrounding soldiers, held it in front of him, and said with a smile: "In that case, I will convince you today!"
So everyone surrounded Huang Mochou and Yu Yi, preparing to observe the duel between the two. Yu Yi observed that Huang Mochou's martial arts skills were on par with Xiaoli's, so he was not afraid at all and used the iron halberd to fight. He moved forward and said: "You are a lady, I will let you make the move first!"
A strange smile appeared on Huang Mochou's face, then he raised the sword in his hand and attacked fiercely in the direction of Yuyi.
Seeing the sword coming, Yu Yi jumped back and easily dodged the attack. Seeing this, Huang Mochou attacked twice more, but was dodged by Yu Yi's movement.
Yu Yi smiled and said: "I have given in to three moves, but I cannot give in to the fourth move!"
Huang Mochou replied: "It's useless for you to keep avoiding like this!"
As soon as Huang Mochou finished speaking, Yuyi's iron halberd attacked him with lightning speed. Huang Mochou swung his sword horizontally and dropped the barrier. Just when he was about to make a wave of taunts, the second wave, All three waves of attacks came, and Huang Mochou thought something was wrong. He danced wildly with the sword in his hand, and it took a lot of strength to completely neutralize the attacks.
When he went to see Yuyi again, he was already standing behind him and never looked back.
Huang Mochou didn't even know when Yu Yi appeared behind him. He finally realized that their martial arts were not on the same level, so he closed his eyes and said, "I'm willing to admit defeat. I didn't expect that your martial arts would be like this." Awesome, I deserve to lose, so go ahead and do it!"
I originally thought that Yu Yi would directly stab himself to death with an iron halberd, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response.
At some point, Yu Yi had already walked to the door, turned around and said: "Now that your village has been basically wiped out, you can no longer do evil. I think you have some abilities and a good heart. I hope you can do more for the people." These good deeds, if I find out that you are responsible for the trouble again, it will be easy to take your head at that time!"
Huang Mochou was very moved and immediately chased him out, saying, "Please ask the military advisor to take him in!"
Yu Yi glanced at Xiaoli and saw Xiaoli nodded slightly, then replied: "In that case, we will be our own people from now on. Xiaoli is the commander-in-chief. You should contact her first."
Huang Mochou was very familiar with the terrain of the entire Wuguan, so she left it up to her to open the way. They would soon be out of the Wuguan area.
In Soochow, Sun Quan heard that Man Chong had arrived, so he discussed it with his advisers in advance.
Zhang Zhaojin said: "Wei and Wu originally had no grudges. Before, it was because they heard Kong Ming's words that the two families fought endlessly and their lives were devastated. Now that Man Chong has come over, it must be because Cao Cao means to make peace and can use etiquette to Come and greet.”
Sun Quan followed the advice and sent all his counselors to welcome Man Chong into the palace. After the ceremony, he treated Man Chong like a guest.
Man Chong took out the letter written by Cao Cao and handed it to Sun Quan. The content was: There was no enmity between Wu and Wei. It was all because of Liu Bei. He kept provoking him inside. The King of Wei sent me here to make an appointment with the general. Together they captured Jingzhou, and the King of Wei attacked Hanzhong, attacking from both ends. After defeating Liu, they jointly divided the territory equally and vowed not to invade each other again.
After reading the letter, Sun Quan did not express his position immediately. Instead, he set up a banquet to entertain him, and when it got dark, he sent him back to the post to rest.
When Man Chong left, Sun Quan immediately gathered all the counselors for discussion. Gu Yong said: "The letter is naturally rhetoric, but there is some truth in it. Now we can send Man Chong back to make an appointment with Cao Cao to attack, and at the same time send people Go to the other side of the river to inquire about Guan Yu's movements, so that you can decide what to do."
Because his younger brother was in the Shu Han Dynasty, Zhuge Jin, as his elder brother, had always hoped for a good relationship between the two parties, so he said: "I heard that when Guan Yu arrived in Jingzhou, Liu Bei took a wife and concubine for him, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. My daughter is still young and has not been betrothed to anyone else. I am willing to propose to the prince's heir apparent. If Guan Yu agrees, then we will discuss with him how to destroy Cao Cao. If Guan Yu does not agree, then we will help Cao Cao capture Jingzhou."
Sun Quan thought this was good, so he sent Man Chong back to Xudu, and then sent Zhuge Jin as an envoy to meet Guan Yu in Jingzhou. After the ceremony, Guan Yu asked, "What are you doing here this time?"
Zhuge Jin paid his respects and said, "I came here especially to ask for a marriage between the two families. Our lord has a son who is very smart. I heard that the general has a daughter. He came here specially to ask for marriage. The two families formed an alliance and jointly attacked Cao Cao. This is a good idea." It’s a nice story, I hope you can think about it.”
He originally thought that Guan Yu would happily agree, but he refused on the spot and was very angry, saying: "How could my daughter marry his son? If it weren't for the sake of your brother's face, I would definitely kill you! You Don't say anything more!" After saying that, he asked the left and right to drive him away.
Zhuge Jin felt aggrieved and ran away with his head in his arms. On the way back to Soochow, the brotherly love in his heart turned into competition. He thought, isn't Kong Ming smart? Guan Yu's attitude was stated realistically.
Sun Quan was very angry after hearing this and said, "This man is too rude!"
So Zhang Zhao and other civil and military generals were immediately summoned to discuss a strategy to take Jingzhou away.
