Bu Zhi said: "Actually, Cao Cao has been preparing to usurp the throne for a long time. The person he is afraid of is Liu Bei. Now he has specially sent an envoy to ask us to raise troops to attack Shu. This is to blame us." Sun Quan sighed: "No. It’s just that, I have actually been planning to take Jingzhou away for a long time.”
Bu Zhi said: "Now Cao Ren has hoarded his troops and horses in Xiangyang and Fancheng. There is no natural danger from the Yangtze River. He can attack Jingzhou through the dry road. Why not take it away, but ask the lord to send troops? We can see their intention. The lord can send an envoy. Go to Xudu to see Cao Cao and ask Cao Ren to lead Cao's army to attack Jingzhou first. Guan Yu will definitely use Jingzhou's troops and horses to attack Fancheng. If Guan Yu goes to fight, then Jingzhou will be empty. At that time, the lord can send a general to secretly surrender Jingzhou. Take it and you can achieve it in one fell swoop.”
Sun Quan nodded and was about to make arrangements when he suddenly remembered a person, Yu Yi. The scene of him casting spells was still vivid in his mind. Soochow's 100,000 troops could not do anything about it, so he said: "Jingzhou is not only Guan Yu, but also Yu Yi." Ah, this person is difficult to deal with!"
Bu Zhi said: "That's true, but I heard that there was a rebellion in Jingzhou not long ago. After it was put down, no one has seen him again."
Zhang Zhaodao: "Yes, he should have gone to Hanzhong. He is not in Jingzhou at this time. This is because God wants to help the lord regain Jingzhou!"
Sun Quan was very happy after hearing this, and sent an envoy across the river with a letter to Cao Cao to explain the situation. Cao Cao was very happy and asked the envoy to go back first, and then sent Man Chong to Fancheng to assist Cao Ren, as a staff officer, to discuss the plan for the invasion. Plan, and at the same time let Soochow lead the navy to support them and jointly attack Jingzhou.
Liu Bei became the queen of Hanzhong and asked Wei Yan, the governor of Wei Yan, to guard Dongchuan. He took hundreds of officials back to Chengdu and ordered the officials to carry out the orders. At the same time, he built more than 400 buildings from Chengdu to Baishui. In the pavilion and post office, a lot of food, grass and weapons were hoarded in preparation for the attack on the Central Plains.
Xizuo inquired about Cao Cao's alliance with Soochow and prepared to attack Jingzhou, and soon reported to Chengdu.
Liu Bei was very surprised after hearing this, and quickly asked Kong Ming to discuss it. Kong Ming said: "I have predicted that Cao Cao will have such a strategy, but there are many counselors in Wuzhong, so Cao Cao will definitely send Cao Ren to send troops."
Liu Bei said: "If this is the case, what should we do?"
Kong Ming said: "You can give an order to Guan Yu and ask him to raise troops to attack Fancheng to scare the enemy. This alliance will naturally collapse."
Liu Bei nodded and said: "I will give the order right now, let Guan Yu attack Fancheng, and Yu Yi guard Jingzhou."
Kong Ming shook his head and said: "As far as I know, Yu Yi is not in Jingzhou."
Liu Bei asked the reason, and Kong Ming told Liu Bei the situation. Yu Yi was on his way to rescue his family. Liu Bei sighed, and without saying anything else, he sent Sima Feishi as an envoy to Jingzhou with orders.
Guan Yu went out of the city to greet him. After the ceremony, he asked, "What title has my eldest brother awarded me?"
Replied: "The leader of the Five Tiger Generals?"
Guan Yu asked: "Who are the five tiger generals?"
Replied: "Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong respectively!"
Guan Yu was very angry after hearing this and said: "Zhang Fei is my younger brother. Ma Chao is also from a famous family. Zhao Yun has been with my eldest brother for a long time and is also my younger brother. His position is equivalent to mine and it is acceptable. Who is Huang Zhong?" , how can you be compared with me? A real man can never associate with an old man. Instead of doing this, why only make my fourth brother the governor of Jingzhou? He should be more qualified to be one of the five tiger generals." So he refused to accept the seal.
Fei Shi smiled and said: "General, what you said is wrong. Xiao He and Cao Shen were the people who organized major events with Han Emperor Gaozu before, and were the closest. However, Han Xin was the dead general of Chu State, but he was named King of Qi. His position Xiao He and Cao Shen have never heard of them complaining about this matter. Today, although the King of Hanzhong has been awarded the title of General of the Five Tigers, he and the general have a sworn brotherhood and are regarded as a whole. The general is The King of Hanzhong, the King of Hanzhong is actually a general, how can you compare with others? Generals have received favors from the King of Hanzhong, and they should share weal and woe, and should not compete over trivial matters such as official positions. I hope the generals can take good care of themselves. think for a while."
After hearing this, Guan Yu suddenly understood, bowed and said, "I don't understand the truth. If you hadn't come to teach me, I might have missed something important." He immediately took the seal and ribbon, and Yuyi's seal and ribbon was also in his hand.
After this incident was over, Fei Shi took out the decree of the King of Hanzhong and ordered Guan Yu to attack Fancheng with troops and horses. Guan Yu accepted the order and immediately sent Fu Shiren and Mi Fang as vanguards to station outside Jingzhou City with a force of troops and horses. At the same time, a banquet was set up in the city to entertain Fei Shi. At ten o'clock at two o'clock, a soldier suddenly reported that there was a fire in the camp. Guan Yu quickly put on his horse and went out to check. When he went out of the city to check, he found that Fu Shiren and Mi Fang drank wine and then camped. A fire broke out, the artillery was set on fire, the camp was in chaos, and all the weapons, grain, grass and other supplies were burned down.
Guan Yu led his soldiers to put out the fire, and the flames were extinguished only around the fourth watch. Guan Yu entered the city, recruited Fu Shiren and Mi Fang, and cursed: "I sent you two as vanguards to fight. We haven't left the army yet, but we have sent out many weapons." After burning all the grain and fodder, many of our own troops were killed with artillery. Such a stupid mistake happened, what use do I want you to do?" So he ordered them to be pushed out and beheaded.
Fei Shi advised: "Beheading the general before we even leave the army is unlucky for the army, so we can be exempted for the time being."
Guan Yu's anger was not gone, and he angrily said: "If it weren't for Sima's face, I would definitely kill someone!" So he asked the warriors to have forty sticks each, took away the pioneer seals and ribbons of the two men, and asked Mi Fang to guard Nanjun and Fu Shiren to guard Nanjun. The police officer said: "If I come back victorious and make any mistakes, I will definitely punish the two guilty parties!" The two of them were blushing with shame, and Nuonuo left.
Guan Yu then sent Liao Hua as the vanguard and Guan Ping as the deputy general. He took Zhongjun, Ma Liang, and Yi Ji as his staff to jointly send troops to Fancheng.
In the meantime, Hu Ban, the son of Hu Hua, came to Jingzhou to surrender to Guan Yu. Guan Yu was grateful for their previous rescue kindness and was very fond of them. He asked him to follow Fei Shi into Xichuan to meet the King of Hanzhong to receive the reward. Fei Shi said goodbye to Guan Yu , took Hu Ban and left towards the middle of Shu.
On that day, Guan Yu held a banner with the word "handsome" and pretended to sleep in the tent. Suddenly he saw a pig, as big as a cow and covered in black, entering the tent and biting Guan Yu's leg.
Guan Yu was very angry and furious. He took out his sword and killed him. The sound was very strange. The black pig did not bleed. Guan Yu woke up from his dream. He knew it was a dream, but after waking up, he kept feeling a dull pain in his left leg. , very confused in my heart.
