Huang Shumin snatched the wine from Yu Yi's hand and drank it in large gulps. Yu Yi felt strange and asked: "I drank because of the tragic death of my wife. Why did you drink?" Huang Shumin said: "I did it because I was very sorry. drink wine."
Yu Yi turned around, looked at Huang Shumin, and then at Xiaoli, Lei Chunze, Huang Mochou, Yu Sisi, Yu Daye and others behind him, and said: "Diaochan and Zou are here because of me." They died tragically, I should be here to accompany them, my second brother will naturally decide on matters in Jingzhou, you don’t need to persuade me!"
Huang Shumin stood up suddenly, smashed the wine jar into pieces, and said angrily: "Look at Yu Sisi and Yu Daye." After that, she pointed at the tombstones of Diao Chan and Zou and said, "Look at you again. Dead relatives, do they want you to remain depressed like this? No matter how painful you are, they have passed away. As a man, you should have great ambitions. What does drinking like this mean? "
After hearing this, Yu Yi was like a child who had done something wrong and allowed Huang Shumin to criticize him.
Seeing that Yuyi didn't dare to look at him, Huang Shumin continued: "Now all nine counties in Jingzhou are occupied by Soochow, General Guan Yu is trapped in Maicheng, and Liao Hua went to Shangyong to ask for help, but it was probably in vain. Your second brother is also in danger now, is it possible? Are you satisfied until your second brother has also left?"
As soon as Huang Shumin finished speaking, Yu Yi stood up, very surprised, and asked: "What are you talking about? Cao Jun and Wu Jun trapped my second brother in the middle, and all nine counties in Jingzhou were lost!"
Huang Shumin nodded with certainty and said: "The King of Hanzhong made you the governor of Jingzhou. Now that Jingzhou is lost, don't you have any responsibility? If the world knows that you have been depressed here, won't you be ridiculed? Huang Ruier, who likes you, doesn't it? Won’t I hate you for this?”
Huang Shumin's tone became more and more serious, and Yuyi realized the seriousness of the problem. At that moment, he seemed to gradually understand that sacrifices in career are unavoidable, and world peace is definitely not something that can be achieved easily. Many roads to go.
Huang Shumin seemed to have something to say, but Yu Yi stood up gently, drank the other jar of wine in his hand, then slammed the jar to the ground, bowed, and said: "If you hadn't reminded me, , I will definitely delay the big thing, so I will prepare now to rescue my elder brother." After saying that, he returned to the house where Diao Chan and Zou lived in the past, sorted out their belongings, and Xiaoli helped Yu Yi shave off the excess beard. , straighten your clothes.
Before leaving, the villagers of Huangpu Village took the initiative to say goodbye and expressed their gratitude. Yuyi said to the direction of the tombstones of Diao Chan and Zou: "When I come to the world, I will take you back home in glory." With a group of people, they crossed the Yellow River in a mighty way and headed towards Maicheng.
Since Huang Shumin and Liao Hua broke out, Guan Yu has been in Maicheng every day, hoping for reinforcements to arrive, but after many days, there is still no movement. He has only five or six hundred men and horses, most of whom are injured and have little combat effectiveness. At the same time, the food in the city After finishing eating, the situation was getting worse day by day. Suddenly, someone from the city asked him not to shoot cold arrows, and if he had anything to say, he wanted to talk to the king.
After Guan Yu found out, he let the man in, and when they met, he found out that the man was Zhuge Jin.
After the two exchanged greetings, Zhuge Jin said: "I came here specifically to persuade the general to surrender on the orders of the Marquis of Wu. Since ancient times, those who know the current affairs have been regarded as heroes. Now the nine counties in Jingzhou that the general and Yu Yi command together already belong to others. There is only an isolated city like Maicheng. There is no food and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements from outside. We are in danger. Why doesn't the general listen to my suggestion and join me to submit to the Marquis of Wu? We can defend Jingzhou again and save our families. I hope you will. Please think about it carefully."
After Guan Yu heard this, a trace of righteousness flashed on his face and he said: "I am a warrior from Xie Liang. I am treated as a brother by my lord. How could I betray my faith and surrender to the enemy? If the city is captured by you, there will only be death. , Jade can be broken but it cannot change its nobility. Bamboo can be burned, but its integrity cannot be destroyed. Although my body is dead, my spirit will be immortal. You don’t need to persuade me any more. Please leave the city quickly. I Get ready to fight Sun Quan to the death!"
Zhuge Jin continued to persuade: "The Marquis of Wu is planning to make friends with the Qin and Jin Dynasties with you, to defeat the Cao Cao together, and to help the Han Dynasty. There is no other intention. Why are you still stubborn?" As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Ping pulled out his hand. with his sword, ready to kill Zhuge Jin on the spot.
Guan Yu quickly stopped him and said: "His younger brother Kong Ming is in Shu and is an important adviser to my eldest brother. If we kill him like this, it will damage the brotherhood." So he sent people to expel Zhuge Jin.
Zhuge Jin looked ashamed, mounted his horse and left the city, came back to see Wu Hou, and said: "Guan Yu's state of mind is as firm as iron and stone, and he cannot be persuaded at all."
Sun Quan sighed and said, "What a loyal minister. What should I do if this continues?"
Lu Fan said: "If that's the case, I'll do some calculations."
Sun Quan immediately sent someone to divination, and Fan Guipei formed an image, which was exactly the "Di Shuishi Gua". Xuanwu also responded, indicating that the enemy was far away.
Sun Quan turned around and asked Lu Meng: "The hexagram shows that the enemy will run away. How are you going to capture Guan Yu?"
Lu Meng said: "The hexagram just shows this mystery. Although Guan Yu has wings that can soar into the sky, he can't fly out of my dragnet. I estimate that Guan Yu has few troops and will definitely not leave from the main road. There is a road directly north of Maicheng. He will definitely leave from this place on the steep path. He can send Zhu Ran with five thousand elite soldiers to ambush twenty miles north of Maicheng. When their troops arrive, they don't have to fight, but just cover up and kill them. They will definitely not If you are in the mood to fight us, you will flee to Linju, and then send Pan Zhang to lead 500 elite soldiers to ambush in a remote road in Linju Mountain. Then Guan Yu can capture him. Now you can send soldiers to attack from various city gates and move the north The door is free just to let them out."
After hearing this, Sun Quan nodded and asked Lu Fan to do another divination. The hexagram was confirmed. Lu Fan said: "The enemy of this hexagram is fleeing to the northwest. He will definitely be captured at Haishi tonight. But..."
When Sun Quan saw that Lu Fan's hexagram was half-read, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Lu Fan made another divination, but that link could not be revealed. He replied: "If you show it, you will be caught, but things seem to be turning around. The divination is very strange, and I have no way to judge."
Sun Quan didn't have much patience, so he directly ordered Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang to take two elite soldiers and prepare for an ambush according to the strategy formulated by Lu Meng.
After Yu Yi led his troops across the Yellow River, he disguised himself as a merchant, divided his troops into three parts, and agreed to gather at Wuguan. Huang Mochou was chased out of the portrait because she killed the city guards. She was afraid of implicating everyone, so she acted alone and left on her own after crossing the Yellow River.
