Guan Ping walked out of the camp, raised his sword and mounted his horse, leading his soldiers and horses to fight Pound. The two formations were facing each other. The soap flag in the Wei army camp had the four white characters "Nan'an Pound" written on it. Pound was wearing a green robe and silver armor. , standing in front of the formation with a steel knife in his hand, followed by five hundred soldiers behind him, and some soldiers came out carrying a coffin. Guan Ping cursed Pound and said, "You are a thief who betrayed my lord!"
Pang De asked the soldier: "Which of you knows this man?"
Someone replied: "He is Guan Yu's son, his name is Guan Ping."
Pang De turned around and shouted: "I came here to take away your father's head on the order of King Wei. You are just a yellow-haired boy. If I don't kill you, let your father stick out his neck and chop it off for me!" "
Pang De was humiliated in public. Guan Ping was very angry after hearing this. He rode his horse and wielded his sword to attack Pound.
Someone told Guan Yu about this situation. Guan Yu was very angry and asked Liao Hua to attack Fancheng. He led his soldiers to fight Pang De. Guan Ping came to greet him and told Guan Yu that he and Pang De were indistinguishable. Guan Yu immediately fought with his sword. , shouted: "Guan Yu is here, Pang De come out quickly and die!"
Where the drums sounded, Pang De came out and said: "I came here to take your head according to the order of King Wei. I'm afraid you won't believe it, so I also prepared a coffin. If you are afraid of death, just Quickly dismount and surrender!"
After hearing this, Guan Yu cursed: "What kind of ability can you, a little man, have! It's a pity that my Qinglong Yanyue Sword kills a rat thief like you!" After saying that, he rode his horse, wielded his sword, and attacked Pang De. Pang De came to fight him. The two fought for more than two hundred rounds, getting better and better, and both sides were stunned.
Wei Jun was afraid that Pang De would be killed, so he quickly sent an order to withdraw his troops. Guan Ping was afraid that his father was old and had limited energy, so he also asked for money to withdraw his troops, so both generals retreated.
After Pang De returned to the camp, he said to everyone: "You all said that Guan Yu was extremely brave. I competed with him today and I believe it!" While he was talking, Yu Jin arrived. When the two met, Yu Jin suggested: "I heard that Guan Yu is very brave." You fought Guan Yu for more than two hundred rounds and didn't get any advantage, so why don't you retreat and escape?"
Pang De said excitedly: "The king of Wei ordered the general as a general, why are you so weak? When tomorrow, Guan Yu and I fight to the death, we will not retreat!" Yu Jin did not dare to stop him, so he could only let Pang De do it.
After Guan Yu returned to the camp, he said to Guan Ping: "Pang De's sword skills are proficient. He is really my opponent."
Guan Ping said: "As the saying goes, a newborn cow's milk is not afraid of a tiger. Even if my father kills this man, he only kills a small soldier of Xiqiang. If he is negligent, he will live up to his uncle's entrustment."
Guan Yu said: "If I can't kill this person, how can I eliminate the hatred in my heart? My meaning is very clear, don't say any more!"
On the second day, Pang De also brought troops and horses to fight. The two formations were facing each other. When the two came out, they could not answer. They came up directly and challenged each other. They fought for more than fifty rounds. De turned his horse and left, followed by Guan Yu. Guan Ping was afraid that his father was in danger, so he also rushed over.
Guan Yu cursed loudly and said: "Old thief! Prepare to use the knife trick, how can I be afraid of you?"
It turned out that Pang De pretended to drag the knife, tied the handle of the knife to the saddle, spread his hands, secretly took the bow and arrow, and shot the arrow backward.
Guan Ping, who had quick eyes and quick hands, saw Pang De secretly pulling the bow and arrow, and shouted: "The thief will not let go of cold arrows!"
When Guan Yu was about to look at the ground, a bow and arrow had already been fired at him. He couldn't dodge and was hit in his left arm. Guan Ping arrived and rescued his father back to the camp.
Pound turned his horse and rushed over with his sword in the air. Suddenly he heard the loud sound of gongs in the base camp. He was afraid that the rear army would be attacked, so he went back.
It turned out that when Yu Jin saw Pang De shoot Guan Yu, he was afraid that he would achieve great fame and would destroy his prestige, so he ordered his troops to retreat.
After Pang De returned, he asked: "Okay, why do you want to withdraw the army?"
Yu Jin said: "The King of Wei has an order, and Guan Yu is both wise and brave. Although he was hit by an arrow, he was afraid of an ambush, so he ordered the troops to retreat."
Pang De said: "If you don't close the army, I can kill this person!"
Yu Jin said: "There will be no good results if you push too hard. You should plan slowly." Pang De didn't know what Yu Jin meant at all, but the opponent was the coach, so he could only regret it.
After Guan Yu returned to the camp, the doctor pulled out the arrow. Fortunately, the shot was not deep, and applied it with golden sore medicine. Guan Yu hated Pang De even more and said to everyone: "I swear to take revenge!"
Everyone said: "Now that the general is injured, it is better to rest peacefully. It will not be too late to fight again after he recovers."
On the second day, someone reported that Pang De came with his soldiers to challenge, and Guan Yu was about to go to battle. Everyone quickly persuaded them to stop, Pang De ordered the soldiers to curse in various ways, and Guan Ping guarded the pass, so that everyone would not take this matter. Tell Guan Yu the matter.
Pang De continued to challenge for more than ten days, but still no one came out to fight, so he discussed with Yu Jin and said: "It seems that Guan Yu's bow and arrow are seriously injured and cannot come out. We can take this opportunity to lead the seven armies into the camp. Then the danger in Fancheng will be lifted."
Yu Jin was afraid that Pound would take the credit, so he used King Wei's decree to prevaricate it. He refused to send troops anyway. Pound would send troops every time, but Yu Jin refused, so he moved the seven armies to the mountain pass and left Fancheng. Stationed ten miles to the north, Yu Jin led his troops to cut off the main road, and sent Pang De to garrison troops behind the valley, so that Pang De could not successfully attack.
Slowly, Guan Yu's injuries improved, and he was very happy. Suddenly he heard that Yu Jin was leading the Seventh Army to the north of Fancheng. He didn't know what the purpose was, so he went to report to Guan Yu.
So Guan Yu got on his horse and took a few cavalry to a high place to take a look. He saw that the flags on Fan City were not in order. The sergeants were very panicked. There were some soldiers and horses stationed in the valley ten miles north of the city. Looking elsewhere, the water in the Xiangjiang River was very fast. After looking at it for a long time, the guide asked: "What is the name of the valley ten miles north of Fancheng?"
He replied: "It's called Hekou River."
Guan Yu burst out laughing and said, "I will definitely catch Yu Jin!"
The soldiers quickly asked: "How did the general know?"
Guan Yu smiled and said: "If the fish enters the mouth of the river, can it last long?"
After hearing this, everyone did not believe it at all. Guan Yu returned to the camp. It happened to be the autumn of August and it had rained for several days. Guan Yu sent people to prepare some boats and pack water equipment.
Guan Ping asked: "We are confronting each other on land, why do we need water tools?"
He replied: "You don't know something about this. General Yu Jin's seven armies were not stationed in a wide area, but gathered in the dangerous pass of the Hekou River. Now that the autumn rain is lingering, the water in the Xiangjiang River will definitely rise. I have sent People go and block the water outlets everywhere. When the water comes out, we can take a boat and release the water. The flood will submerge the soldiers and horses in the Wenkou River in Fancheng and become fish and shrimps!" Guan Ping listened. Then it dawned on me.
