    All eyes were focused on the person who generously asked for a fight.

    Liu Bei looked down and saw that the man who came out to fight was none other than Guan Yu, his hussar general from the Han Dynasty.

    As Guan Yu was the number one military general in the Han Kingdom, Liu Bei should have been pleased that he asked to fight to defend Liyang. In fact, Liu Bei was indeed excited for a moment and wanted to agree to Guan Yu's request on the spot.

    When the words came to his lips, Liu Bei frowned slightly and hesitated.

    Because, Liu Bei thought of Guan Yu's various failures in the past.

    Liu Bei trusted Guan Yu so much back then that he ordered him to guard the important territory of Xuzhou. However, Guan Yu disappointed him and he was defeated one after another at the hands of Yan Liang, losing troops and territory.

    Liu Bei complained many times that if Guan Yu could hold Xuzhou, Yan Liang would not have opened the door to the Central Plains, and he would not be in the position of retreating to Hebei today.

    Considering Guan Yu's "stainless record", Liu Bei hesitated, weighing whether he should put this heavy responsibility on Guan Yu's shoulders.

    At the bottom of the steps, Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei seemed to be hesitant, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his red face.

    He then said loudly: "I have an sworn hatred against the traitor Yan. If this hatred is not avenged, it will be difficult for me to let go of the hatred in my heart. This time I am willing to guarantee with my life that I will hold on to Liyang for your majesty. The city is there and the people are there.  The city dies and the people die.¡±

    With his impassioned speech, Guan Yu actually risked his life to issue a military order, vowing to protect Li Yang.

    After Guan Yu¡¯s words came to this point, Liu Bei thought that if he didn¡¯t agree to it again, he would break Guan Yu¡¯s heart.

    ???????????????????????????????????? Then I thought again, with Yan Liang¡¯s strength.  Looking at the Chu State, only Guan Yu has this ability, and he is absolutely loyal to Liu Bei.

    He pondered for a long time.  Liu Bei said happily: "If Yun Chang comes out, I have nothing to worry about. I will leave this important town of Liyang to you, Yun Chang."

    Guan Yu was overjoyed. He bowed his hands and said, "Thank you for your majesty's trust. I will live up to your majesty's expectations. I am here. That Yan thief can't even think of crossing Liyang even half a step."

    Liu Bei then issued an order on the spot, ordering Guan Yu to lead 30,000 elite troops and rush to Liyang to increase defense.

    At this time.  Zhuge Liang added: "Yan Liang attacked Liyang with an army of 200,000. The Yellow River has thousands of miles of beaches and can be crossed everywhere. We want to cut off the Yan bandits south of the Yellow River. But it is not realistic."

    Liu Bei nodded slightly.  Agree with Zhuge Liang.

    Zhuge Liang then waved his fan and said, "So I think that your majesty can guard Liyang with the hussar generals and rely on the fortified city to attract Yan Liang's army to besiege the city. When Shilao comes to the city, your majesty will rush south with the main force to attack. If you cooperate with the inside and outside, you will be able to defeat Yan Liang."  thief."

    Liu Bei deeply believed in Zhuge Liang's plan.

    The Chu State has many elite soldiers and generals.  Guang Yanliang's middle army had more than 200,000 troops, and he, Liu Bei, divided his troops into two wings.  The number of troops that can be used to confront Yan Liang head-on is only about 100,000.

    With such a huge disparity in military strength, if Liu Bei decided to face Yan Liang, he would definitely not be his opponent. Zhuge Liang's strategy of waiting for work and attacking from inside and outside was his only strategy to defeat Yan Liang.

    Thinking of this, Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to go to Liyang to garrison first. Liu Bei then led more than 70,000 troops southward to echo Liyang City.

    Liu Bei knew that this battle was related to the survival of the Han Dynasty. This time, all his powerful generals came out. Generals such as Cao Ren, Taishi Ci, Zhang Xiu, Xu Huang, Han Meng, Chen Dao, etc. came out in full force. Even Zhuge Liang, who had been guarding Yecheng,  , this battle must also be planned with the army.

    But it was said that when the court meeting was over, Guan Yu returned directly to the palace and prepared to pack up and go on an expedition.

    Returning to his mansion, Guan Yu summoned his two sons, Guan Xing and Guan Suo, and explained to them about the expedition.

    The second son Guan Xing immediately said: "I am willing to go to Liyang with my father. I want to kill the Yan thief with my own hands and avenge my elder brother and little sister who were killed by the Yan thief."

    "The thief Yan has an sworn feud with our Guan family. My son is willing to go out with his father to kill the thief and take revenge." The third son, Guan Suo, also generously asked for the battle.

    Of course, these two Guan family children would not know that their eldest brother Guan Ping was shot and killed by his own father, and that their sister Guan Feng did not die, but was abandoned by their father in Xuzhou. Now  Has become Yan Liang's concubine.

    Of course, Guan Yu would not tell his son the truth about such a thing that insulted his reputation. Guan Yu only told Guan Xing and Guan Suo that their elder brother and younger sister were killed by Yan Liang in the Battle of Xuzhou, and told them to always  Don't forget to take revenge on me.

    During the Battle of Xuzhou, Guan Xing and Guan Suo were both hostages and stayed in Yecheng. Naturally, they would not know the truth of the Battle of Xuzhou.

    Although they had heard some rumors, due to their extreme admiration for their father Guan Yu, they did not believe those rumors at all and had no doubts.I believe what my father said, Guan Ping and Guan Feng were killed by Yan Liang.

    Because of this, these two young men from the Guan family hated Yan Liang so much that they could only think about revenge for their dead brothers and sisters day and night.

    Now that the opportunity is right in front of them, how can they let it go?

    "Very good. If your eldest brother and your sister are alive in heaven, they will be happy to see you caring about their blood feud."

    Looking at his two sons who generously asked for battle, Guan Yu was very pleased, and the anger of revenge was burning in his chest.

    Guan Xing and Guan Suo were also filled with passion and their faces were filled with the fire of revenge.

    Suddenly, Guan Yu stood up, patted his two sons on the shoulders, and said proudly: "Our father and three sons will fight side by side this time, kill the Yan thief with our own hands, avenge your dead brother and sister, and bring peace to the Han Dynasty."  , for your majesty and for the sake of the people of the world, get rid of the scourge of Yan Thief."

    "For the sake of the people of the world, kill the traitors of beauty!" Guan Xing and Guan Suo responded with emotion.

    The three men of the Guan family, father and son, are full of passion and look generous and righteous.

    The next day, Guan Yu bid farewell to Liu Bei and led 30,000 elite Han infantry and cavalry troops, with Guan Xing and Guan Suo as the left and right vanguards, and rushed to Liyang at starry night.

    Not long after Guan Yu rushed to Liyang, Yan Liang commanded an army of 200,000, left Hulao from the east of Luoyang, and rushed to Dongjun in a mighty manner.

    A few days later, the 70,000-strong Chinese army led by Yan Liang arrived at Baima on the other side of Liyang City in advance.

    At this time, the 130,000 Chinese and foreign troops commanded by the generals are still on their way from various places to assemble, and it is expected that it will take another four or five days.  Only then can an army of 200,000 be raised.

    Returning to his old place, Yan Liang rode his horse to the bank, looking at the north bank of the Yellow River.  I feel a lot of emotion in my heart.

    The other side of the surging Yellow River is his hometown of Hebei.

    Back then, Yan Liang, a martial artist from Hebei Province, escaped Guan Yu's fatal sword just outside Baima City, and embarked on the road to becoming an emperor who dominated the world from here.

    Returning home in glorious robes is the dream of many emperors and their glory.  Of course Yan Liang also wanted to return to his hometown in Hebei with unlimited glory as the supreme emperor.

    "In Yan Liang's kingdom, there were officials such as Xu You, Wen Chou, and Zhang Liao.  Most of them are from Hebei. They have the same dream as Yan Liang, and they all want to return to their hometown one day.

    Now.  We are only one step away from realizing our dream.

    "Back then, outside the White Horse City, Guan Yu rushed over like crazy and wanted to assassinate me. His first 30,000 yuan was really impressive. I almost couldn't carry it." Yan Liang held his horse whip in the distance and sighed with a smile.  .

    Pang Tong smiled and said: "I think every time Guan Yu thinks about the white horse's failure, he will be so angry that his teeth will itch."

    Yan Liang laughed, his laughter full of sarcasm.

    A horse galloped towards him and resisted directly.  The person who came was none other than his adopted son Deng Ai.

    "Report to my father. News came back from Bei'an Xizuo that Liu Bei has added 30,000 elite troops to Liyang City, and the leader is Guan Yu." Deng Ai handed over his hand and reported.

    "Is it Guan Yu again? This is really a narrow road for enemies."

    "Besides Guan Yu, who else can be a general?" Yan Liang asked.

    "According to detailed reports, Guan Yu came this time and brought his two sons Guan Xing and Guan Suo with him."

    Yan Liang had to admit that although Guan Yu was his great enemy, he had raised a group of powerful sons. Guan Xing and Guan Suo were both important generals in the late Shu Han Dynasty in history. The deceased Guan Ping and  Guan Feng, who was adopted as Yan Liang's concubine, was also a person with extraordinary martial arts skills.

    Yan Liang sneered, "It's not enough that Guan Yu lost one son and one daughter. This time he brought two more sons to die. He is so determined that the whole family, one after another, will be buried in Liu Bei's grave."

    "Besides Guan Yu, what's going on with Liu Bei?" Pang Tong asked next to him.

    Deng Ai said: "Liu Bei also left Yecheng with 70,000 troops for several days, but he stationed his troops in Anyang, fifty miles north of Liyang. I don't know what his plan is."

    Hearing this, Yan Liang turned to Pang Tong and asked for his analysis.

    Pang Tong stroked his beard and said calmly: "Liu Bei is probably worried that he has few troops and is no match for our army in a direct decisive battle, so he wants to use Guan Yu's defense of Liyang as a bait to lure our army to besiege the city.  , and then cooperate with each other to attack our army. I think this is probably Zhuge Kongming's plan."

    Zhuge Liang, is it Zhuge Liang again? One is Guan Yu and the other is Zhuge Liang. These are really two annoying guys.

    Yan Liang¡¯s eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.

    After pondering for a moment, Yan Liang raised his whip and said: "Pass on my decree, tomorrow the army will cross the river and march into??Liyang.  "

    Pang Tongtong looked slightly startled when he heard this.

    Deng Ai hurriedly said: "Father, our army still has more than 100,000 troops that have not yet been assembled. If we forcefully cross the Yellow River with 70,000 troops, we may be blocked by Guan Yu."

    Yan Liang raised a sly smile at the corner of his mouth and smiled without saying a word.

    Pang Tong, who was originally suspicious, suddenly woke up and said with a smile: "If my guess is correct, your Majesty is crossing the Yellow River now just to induce Guan Yu to take the initiative."

    "The one who knows me is none other than the Prime Minister." Yan Liang laughed and acquiesced to Pang Tong's guess.

    If Yan Liang gathers 200,000 troops to cross the river again, Guan Yu will definitely not dare to make any move when he sees the strength of the Chu army, and will only huddle in the city and stand firm.

    But if he forces the crossing with 70,000 troops and horses, then given Guan Yu's character, seeing that Yan Liang does not have enough troops, he will probably take the opportunity to attack and plan for a small victory.

    Yan Liang's intention was to induce Guan Yu to attack, so he would use his plan.

    Although Deng Ai had a strategy, he was still young after all. Unlike Pang Tong, he quickly realized Yan Liang's intentions.

    After Pang Tong explained, Deng Ai suddenly realized what his father meant and couldn't help but sigh in awe.

    "Shizai, tomorrow you will lead 20,000 horsemen to cross the Yellow River north, and give me the first chance to land in Hebei." Yan Liang raised his whip and pointed directly at the north bank.

    Captain will be going back to his hometown in the past few days, so he can only guarantee two updates in the near future. I hope you can forgive me.  (To be continued)
