- With anger in his heart, Guan Yu walked into Xiapi City.
There are broken walls and charred rubble everywhere, choking smoke fills the air, and burning houses can be seen everywhere.
Guan Yu's purple face was filled with cold anger, and his bloodshot eyes were filled with shame and anger.
When Liu Bei launched his northern expedition against Yuan Shang, it was precisely because he trusted Guan Yu that he gave him the important task of guarding Xuzhou and guarding the rear.
Now, he was inexplicably attacked by Yan Liang and was burned to ashes.
While Guan Yu hated Yan Liang, he also felt that he had betrayed the trust of his brother Liu Bei, and he really didn't know how to report the bad news to Liu Bei.
In grief, Guan Yu came to the location where General Liu Bei's Zuo Mansion was originally located. After Liu Bei moved General Liu Bei's mansion to Yecheng, he gave this mansion to Guan Yu.
Now, the palace that symbolizes power and majesty is in ruins, with only half of the incomplete gate still standing there.
That half of the incomplete gate seemed to be left by Yan Jun on purpose, specifically to humiliate him, Guan Yu.
"Thief Yan, you dare to burn me down in Xiapi. If I, Guan Yu, don't avenge this, I will never be a human being!"
The angry Guan Yu swore a big oath and used all his strength to insert the sword in his hand into the ashes at his feet.
At this time, Guan Yu remembered that his Qinglong Sword was already in Yan Liang's hand.
??Shame, anger and rage filled Guan Yu's chest, almost bursting his chest.
With all his anger, Guan Yu could only face this tragic reality. On that day, he could only camp more than 10,000 troops on the ruins.
After resting for a night, Guan Yu led his army again and followed Yan Jun towards Haixi County.
Zhang Liao and Lu Meng accepted Yan Liang's order and did not engage in a direct confrontation with Guan Yu. After their troops retreated to Haixi, they loaded all the looted assets onto the warships, and all the thousands of soldiers and horses boarded the ships. Raise sail and retreat to Jiangdong.
When Guan Yu's army chased to the west of Haixi, the five thousand sneak attack troops left with brilliant results.
Without a naval force, Guan Yu could only watch helplessly as the enemy fled, sighing in despair, gritting his teeth in hatred but unable to do anything.
Helpless, Guan Yu had no choice but to leave thousands of troops stationed in Haixi, strengthen patrols along the Xuzhou coast, and then turned back the main troops back to Xiapi.
At this time, the soldiers and people who had been driven out of Xiapi by Yan Jun returned to their burned homes when they heard that Guan Yu had returned.
These tens of thousands of civilians have no money, no food, and their homes have been destroyed. They can only hope for relief from the government.
Guan Yu was having headaches one after another, so he could only order to mobilize grain and grass from other counties to relieve the nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians in counties including Xiapi who had been looted by Yan's army.
Atop the ruins, in the Chinese army's tent.
The night was getting late, but Guan Yu couldn't sleep, staring at the half-written letter on the case with a gloomy face.
At this time, Guan Yu was worried about how to explain to Liu Bei who was far away in Luoyang that Huainan was defeated and Xiapi was destroyed.
While he was in distress, Lu Su came outside the tent and asked to see him.
Guan Yu then called the generals to come in, but Lu Su did not come in alone. There was another person following him.
The person with a gloomy look turned out to be Tai Shi Ci.
"Tai Shi Ziyi, why are you here?" Guan Yu looked strange.
Taishi Ci cupped his hands and said silently: "General Guan, Shouchun City has fallen, and Governor Zhou has been captured by Yan thieves. Ci has no choice but to come to General Guan and ask General Guan to accept him."
Shouchun fell!
Guan Yu was shocked and stood up with disbelief on his face.
When Guan Yu drew his troops back to the north, he thought that if he withdrew his troops, Zhou Yu would be in trouble. But what shocked Guan Yu was that Zhou Yu was so vulnerable that as soon as his front foot left, his back foot was destroyed.
The fall of Shouchun means that Yan Liang has advanced the battle line to the Huai River and connected the counties of Liang, Runan, and Qiaojun with Huainan, posing a huge threat to the two states of Xu and Yan.
The shame and anger that had just been suppressed in Guan Yu's heart flared up again.
With this series of defeats, he not only lost his troops and Huainan, but also destroyed his old nest in Xiapi and fatally threatened the two states of Yanxu. Not only did he fail to contribute to Liu Bei's great cause, but he also did a disservice.
"Yan Liang, the dog thief, is really too arrogant. Don't worry, Ziyi. I will mobilize all my troops soon and go to Huainan to fight with thatThe thieves fight to the death! "
Guan Yu was so ashamed and angry that he was a little carried away.
As soon as these words came out, not only Lu Su, but also Tai Shi Ci, who was harboring revenge, was taken aback.
Lu Su hurriedly advised: "General Yunchang, please calm down. Now that the Yan bandits have gained Shouchun, they have completely conquered Huainan, and their military strength is strong. Moreover, Xiapi has been destroyed, and the morale of the army has been frustrated. Moreover, the soldiers in Xuzhou are only over 10,000. At this time, Going south, we have to deal with more than 60,000 enemy troops with high morale. General Yun Chang, please think twice. "
After hearing this, Guan Yu's expression changed and he said angrily: "Lu Zijing, I know that you are afraid of being beaten by that Yan thief. You are afraid of him, but I am not afraid. It doesn't matter if there are more than 10,000 people, I will still do it." Take that Yan thief¡¯s head.¡±
Lu Su originally wanted to persuade Guan Yu with good intentions, but he didn't want to offend Guan Yu's self-esteem. Instead, he was ridiculed by Guan Yu. He felt aggrieved in his heart, but he didn't dare to express it, so he could only shut up gloomily.
"General Guan, kill the Yan thief and avenge his blood. This is the right thing to do. But now the Yan thief is really in the prime of military affairs, and General Zuo is on the front line in Luoyang, and the war with Cao Cao is about to break out. Ci thinks, what Lu Zijing said Not unreasonable.¡±
Taishi Ci, like Zhou Yu, originally looked down upon Lu Su who defected to Liu Bei, but at this time, he stood on Lu Su's side.
Guan Yu¡¯s stern expression softened a bit. Obviously, Tai Shi Ci¡¯s persuasion was far more convincing than his subordinate Lu Su¡¯s.
Guan Yu fell silent and began to calmly weigh the pros and cons.
After walking in the tent and thinking for a long time, Guan Yu raised his head, looked up at the dim starry sky outside the tent, and let out a long breath.
"Well, for the sake of your persuasion, I will not go into Huainan for the time being, but I will tell you that I, Guan Yu, will behead the Yan thief sooner or later, and I will behead it with my own hands. Remember this! "
Guan Yu looked determined and swore an oath.
The unhappy Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief and kept saying yes, while Tai Shici also nodded.
At this moment, pride gradually reappeared on Guan Yu's red face.
¡¡
While Guan Yu was generously vowing revenge, Yan Liang was holding a grand military parade in Shouchun City hundreds of miles away.
Sixty thousand victorious officers and soldiers of the Yan family gathered in the south of Shouchun City to celebrate the great victory of capturing Shouchun and defeating Zhou Yu with an unprecedented military parade.
At the same time, hundreds of battleships also entered the Huaihe River from the Yangtze River, demonstrating Yan Liang's powerful force to the world.
Except for the lower reaches of the Huaihe River and Guangling County under Xuzhou, the entire vast area south of the Huaihe River is now controlled by Yan Liang. In terms of pure territory, Yan Liang's territory at this time is the largest in the world.
Yan Liang, who wiped out Zhou Yu, wanted to use this massive military parade to show off his force to Liu Bei, so that he would not dare to move his troops south.
At this time, Liu Bei was confronting Cao Cao on the front line in Luoyang, and the war was imminent.
At such a time, Yan Liang certainly wanted Liu Bei to fight to the death with Cao Cao, so in order to allow Liu Bei to have no "worries about his future", he concentrated on fighting to the death with Cao Cao. After conquering Shouchun, Yan Liang did not choose to continue marching north.
Firstly, the soldiers of the three armies have been fighting for several months, and their physical strength has been exhausted. Secondly, the severe winter is approaching. Most of Yan Liang's soldiers are from the south and are not suitable for the cold in the north.
Therefore, after various considerations and after the military parade, Yan Liang began to gradually withdraw his troops and return south. In the end, only Lu Meng, Ling Tong and Zhang Liao were left with 20,000 troops stationed on the Shouchun line.
In this way, together with Xu Shu and other troops on the front line of Xudu, Yan Liang's army deployed in the north has reached close to 40,000.
It was the winter of that year, and Yan Liang's squadron returned south to Yingtian.
Yan Liang, who returned to Yingtian, rewarded the meritorious officials and used Pang Tong's plan to solve the Shanyue problem.
According to Pang Tong¡¯s detailed analysis, the reason why Shanyue rebelled repeatedly but was difficult to exterminate was because they fled deep into the mountains and forests after rebelling, so the government troops could not penetrate deeply to exterminate them.
"The Shanyue people who fled to the mountains recuperated their strength. Once the opportunity came, they would immediately come out of the mountains to rebel again, and the cycle started over and over again, so that they could get rid of the long-term disaster.
Although the Shanyue people had this advantage, Pang Tong was keenly aware that the Shanyue people still had fatal flaws.
This flaw is that the Shanyue people are technologically backward and cannot produce ironware, clothing and other items. As for daily necessities such as salt, they cannot produce them. All of these require hunting in the mountains to be produced outside the mountains. exchange with the Han people.
This means that the Shanyue people are not actually?Have the ability to be self-sufficient.
Therefore, Yan Liang, based on Pang Tong's suggestion, announced that trade between Han people and Shanyue people was strictly prohibited. Anyone who dared to do business with Shanyue people privately would be severely punished once found out.
While issuing the ban, Yan Liang also ordered Lu Xun, Zhu Huan and other generals to seize the dangerous mountain passes in Danyang, Poyang and other places with a total of nearly 30,000 troops, and use force to cut off the Shanyue people's contact with the outside world.
Yan Liang¡¯s purpose of doing this was to trap the Shanyue people in the mountains, leaving them without salt, iron, and clothing. He used this cruel method to force the Shanyue people to come out of the mountains and return.
Yan Liang, who is familiar with history, naturally knows that Zhuge Ke in history used this method to force hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people to surrender, greatly increasing the strength of Soochow.
"It's a pity that it was too late for Sun Quan to think of using Zhuge Ke's timing. Yan Liang and Pang Tong could seize the opportunity and adopt this appropriate strategy for the Shanyue problem as soon as possible.
Although the strategy has been devised, there are nearly 200,000 Shanyue people after all. It will not take a day or two to trap them to death, it will take time.
While dealing with the Shanyue problem, Yan Liang also had another important matter that he needed to deal with personally.
This matter is about Zhou Yu¡¯s treatment. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
