Text Chapter 509 Exposing Guan Yu¡¯s ugliness

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    What kind of person is Guan Yu? If he is the first general under Liu Bei's command, Liu Bei is out in battle and Guan Yu is always guarding the rear.

    For such a character, there must be no doubt about his ability to command troops.

    And would such a commander-level figure change his strategy and take the initiative to fight just because of a mere letter from Yan Liang?

    At the first moment, the generals had a little doubt about Yan Liang's confidence.

    But in the blink of an eye, they had great faith in Yan Liang.

    At first, Guan Yu was still procrastinating and refused to send troops to assist Zhou Yu. Wasn't it Yan Liang's letter of challenge that made Guan Yu angry in Hefei in a few days?

    Since Guan Yu took the bait that time, this time will definitely be no exception.

    So, the handwritten letter from Yan Liang was sent to the Zhou and Liu coalition camps more than ten miles away in the evening of that day.

    The Zhunnan Army and the Xuzhou Army were divided into two camps, the east and west. Zhou Yu's Huainan Army was good at water warfare and lived in the West Camp by Feishui. Guan Yu's Xuzhou Army was better at land occupation, so they camped in the east. The two camps formed a horn.

    In the large tent of the Chinese army, Guan Yu was stroking his beautiful beard, tilting his head back, his eyes half open and half closed, and squinting at the military book in his hand.

    "Father, handsome." Guan Ping, the adopted son, stepped into the tent and cautiously held his hands in greeting.

    However, Guan Yu seemed not to see him, and just said "hmm" indifferently, but his eyes never left the letter in his hand.

    "Father, Yan Liang just sent a messenger, and there is a handwritten letter for Father." Guan Ping said, and presented a silk letter with both hands.

    Yan Liang¡¯s handwritten letter?

    Guan Yu frowned slightly, and a hint of sullenness flashed across his arrogant and indifferent red face.

    He thought of Yan Liang¡¯s extremely arrogant and arrogant letter of challenge, the letter of challenge that made him hold a grudge.

    If Yan Liang hadn¡¯t had so many troops and Zhou Yu¡¯s repeated suggestions, Guan Yu wouldn¡¯t have been so courageous to fight a protracted war. He would have mobilized all his troops and launched an attack with all his strength.

    "Read it." Guan Yu said coldly, showing disapproval.

    Guan Ping quickly opened the letter and read it carefully, preparing to think about the future.

    But it didn¡¯t matter at this glance. Guan Ping¡¯s face immediately turned red, as if he had seen something embarrassing and infuriating, and he immediately became speechless.

    Guan Yu glanced at his son and saw his son's shameful and angry expression. A strange color suddenly flashed in his cold and proud eyes.

    "What's going on? Why don't you read it?" Guan Yu asked displeasedly.

    "Father, this letter is of no value. It's not worth hearing at all. Just tear it up." Guan Ping closed the letter and planned to tear it up on the spot.

    This unusual behavior aroused Guan Yu's suspicion, and he immediately shouted: "Bring the letter here!"

    "Father, it's better not to read this letter, so as not to waste unnecessary time." Guan Ping held the letter in his hand and refused to present it.

    "I told you to bring it over!" Guan Yu's expression became more serious.

    Guan Ping trembled, frightened by his father's power, he did not dare to disobey, so he had to reluctantly submit the letter.

    Guan Yu put down the book of war and unfolded the handwritten letter from Yan Liang to read.

    At the beginning, Guan Yu still looked cold, arrogant and disdainful, but as he looked at it, Guan Yu's red face suddenly changed.

    The fierce anger, like a tide, swept over the entire red face in an instant.

    "Shameless thieves, how dare you humiliate each other like this¡ª¡ª"

    Guan Yu was furious and tore the silk book in his hand into pieces with all his strength, as if what he tore to pieces was not the letter but Yan Liang, his mortal enemy.

    Guan Ping was also so shocked that he didn't even dare to take a breath.

    The furious Guan Yu jumped up and strode out, shouting: "Go and prepare your horses quickly, I am going to see Zhou Gongjin."

    With the red rabbit and horse ready, Guan Yu got on his horse and headed straight out of Dongying. In the darkness, a group of more than a hundred men and horses headed straight for Xiying.

    It was getting late at this time, and Zhou Yu was about to take a rest, but Taishi Ci, who was on patrol, sent someone on Pegasus to report that Guan Yu had suddenly come to meet him.

    Zhou Yu was startled. He didn't know what urgent matter Guan Yu had come to in the evening, so he hurriedly went out of his tent to greet him.

    Before taking a few steps, Guan Yu was already riding his horse, walking through Zhou's camp as if he were in a deserted place.

    When Zhou Yu saw this, he frowned secretly and felt unhappy in his heart.

    Although he was very unhappy, Zhou Yu still forced a smile and said, "General Yun Chang came here late at night. Could it be that he has something important to discuss with Prime Minister Yu?"

     "I do have something important to say, let's talk inside."

    Guan Yu, who got off his horse, strode into the tent without waiting for Zhou Yu's response, leaving Zhou Yu behind.

    With such an imposing manner, it was as if he, Guan Yu, was the leader in this camp, while Zhou Yu was just a guest.

    Zhou Yu's handsome face suddenly showed displeasure, and the generals on the left and right also showed dissatisfaction.

    "Commander, Yun Chang has such a temperament. He should think about the overall situation, and the governor should not care about it." Tai Shici, who arrived later, persuaded in a low voice.

    During the Beihai Kingdom, Taishi Ci once joined forces with Liu Bei to repel the Yellow Turban Army of the Beihai Kingdom. Speaking of which, Taishi Ci also had a relationship with Guan Yu.

    Therefore, Guan Yu's attitude towards Tai Shi Ci was much friendlier than that of Zhou Yu.

    Zhou Yu is not an arrogant person, but now he wants to seek help from Guan Yu. After listening to Tai Shici's advice, Zhou Yu can only pretend to ignore Guan Yu's arrogance, turn around and follow him.

    Guan Yu, who entered the tent first, was able to save face for Zhou Yu and did not directly sit on his commanding position. However, he did not need to be invited by Zhou Yu and sat directly on the left side of the honored guest's seat.

    Zhou Yu knelt down and pretended that nothing happened. He raised his hands and asked, "Yun Chang came here late at night. Is there something urgent?"

    Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard and said coldly: "I came here late at night to tell General Zhou that I have decided to mobilize all the troops tomorrow to fight with Yan Liang. I would like to ask General Zhou to mobilize the entire army to help when he comes."  "

    Hearing this, Zhou Yu and the generals present all changed their expressions.

    "General Yun Chang, didn't we have a good discussion in Shouchun? This battle should be based on a protracted battle. We should not have a head-on confrontation with Yan Liang's dog thief to prevent him from taking advantage of the cavalry. Why are you so good? Yun Chang, why are you doing this?  Suddenly changed your mind?" Zhou Yu asked in confusion.

    Guan Yu did not explain, but said coldly and proudly: "There is no reason. I just don't like Yan Liang's dog thief and want to cut off his head with my own hands."

    Zhou Yu was unhappy when he heard this. He felt that Guan Yu suddenly wanted to go to war, and it seemed that it was entirely based on personal happiness and anger, and did not focus on the overall situation at all.

    In other words, Zhou Yu had already scolded him with disdainful words.

    But now, Zhou Yu can only endure it.

    "General Yun Chang is well versed in the art of war. He should be well aware that Yan Liang is currently strong and our coalition forces are weak. It would be a bit risky to force a decisive battle at this time." Zhou Yu suppressed the disgust in his heart and patted Guan Yu several times.  What a flattery.

    Guan Yu said proudly: "The reason why Yan Liang is able to dominate Jiangdong is because you Wu people are too cowardly. Now that I and my elite Xuzhou soldiers are here, what do you have to be afraid of? I have made up my mind to fight and will never change it."  ¡±

    Guan Yu's momentum was as if he was ordering his subordinates, and his words openly mocked Zhou Yu's "cowardice".

    Zhou Yu was sullen in his heart and frowned: "If Zhou just doesn't agree to go to war, what will General Guan do?"

    Guan Yu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "If General Zhou does not go to war, I will lead the army back to Xuzhou tomorrow and sit back and watch you fend for yourself."

    Hearing Guan Yu's threat, Zhou Yu, who was originally annoyed, suddenly felt shocked.

    Zhou Yu was about to explode, but when he was about to speak out his angry words, he swallowed them back.

    Because he knew clearly that if Guan Yu withdrew his troops, he would be no match for Yan Liang, and the only thing left for him would be to annihilate him.

    Facing the aggressive Guan Yu, Zhou Yu fell into helpless silence.

    ¡­¡­

    In the early morning, a cavalry galloped from the camp of the Zhou and Liu coalition forces and arrived at the camp of the Yan army.

    The messenger on that cavalry delivered a letter of battle jointly issued by Guan Yu and Zhou Yu, saying that the two armies would fight to the death by the Feishui River in the afternoon.

    This letter of challenge made all the generals present excited and surprised.

    When I was excited, I could finally fight in a bloody battle to wipe out the remnants of Zhou Yu and kill Guan Yu's majesty.

    What is surprising is that Yan Liang's letter worked wonders and actually induced Guan Yu to fight.

    "What was written in the letter from my lord? Why did Guan Yu suddenly dare to fight?" Zhongzhu asked curiously.

    Yan Liang sneered, "It's nothing, I just exposed a scandal about him."

    At that moment, Yan Liang told the generals the contents of his letter.

    It turns out that when Guan Yu was serving Cao Cao, he once coveted the wife of the enemy general Qin Yilu. Before the war started, he asked Cao Cao to take his wife as his own after defeating Qin Yilu.

    Cao Cao opensHe promised well at first, but ended up going back on his word after the war and took Qin Yilu's wife into his golden house. Guan Yu was naturally very unhappy about this.

    Yan Liang ridiculed Guan Yu in his letter, saying that when Yan Liang surrendered to Cao Cao, he wanted to use Cao Cao's hand to seize his wife, and betrayed Cao Cao because his love was taken away by Cao Cao, so he held a grudge.

    Finally, Yan Liang satirized Guan Yu in his letter as a lustful and cowardly person. If he didn't dare to fight, he should go back to Xuzhou as soon as possible to avoid death.

    Hearing Yan Liang¡¯s explanation, the generals suddenly understood.

    Pang Tong smiled and sighed: "In the world, there are many generals who would rather die than surrender, but they have no reputation for loyalty. On the contrary, Guan Yu, who surrendered to Cao Cao and then rebelled, was praised as loyal. This is really the pinnacle of black and white.  Fallen. My lord, this letter is well written. It would be strange for Guan Yu, the arrogant man, not to get angry and go to war after seeing this letter."

    When the generals present heard this, they all burst into laughter. Even Zhang Liao, who had a good relationship with Guan Yu, seemed to be in a trance, as if he suddenly understood something.

    Amid the sneer, Yan Liangshen suddenly became serious.

    He stood up in excitement, looked around the generals, and said proudly: "Guan Yu wants to fight, so I will fight with him. Send the order. In the afternoon, when all three armies are out, I will fight to the death with that surnamed Guan!" (To be completed!)  Continued.
