- Guan Yu is indeed difficult to control.
Looking at the whole Han Dynasty, Guan Yu is the only one who dares to disobey Liu Bei's will.
¡°If one day in the future, the powerful and rebellious Guan Yu really gets to the point where he does whatever he wants, what should he do?
Liu Bei's heart suddenly felt a chill.
"I only have this concern for the sake of the Han Dynasty. However, Yun Chang has followed your Majesty for many years. He should be loyal to your Majesty."
Zhuge Liang's words clearly meant that Guan Yu was loyal to Liu Bei, but the implication was rather that he was questioning Guan Yu's loyalty.
Liu Bei's hesitant thoughts became even more shaken now.
Liu Bei stood up and walked in the hall, feeling hesitant.
After thinking for a while, Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "I want to send another general to replace Yunchang to guard Liyang. Who do you think is more suitable, Prime Minister?"
The corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth tilted slightly, and there was a hint of unnoticeable pride.
Immediately, Zhuge Liang tapped his feather fan on his forehead, pretending to be thinking deeply.
After thinking for a moment, Zhuge Liang said: "I think that apart from Yun Chang, Cao Zixiao is the most suitable candidate."
Liu Bei is very clear about Cao Ren's ability to use troops. In addition, with the destruction of the Cao family, Cao Ren has regarded Yan Liang as his mortal enemy, so Liu Bei does not have to worry about Cao Ren's loyalty.
It can be said that Zhuge Liang's choice is exactly what Liu Bei wants.
After weighing for a while, Liu Bei made up his mind and said: "Okay, I will issue an order tomorrow and order Cao Zixiao to go to Liyang to pay back Yunchang."
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhuge Liang praised him.
A night of worry will bring light to the next day. Liu Bei summoned Cao Ren and expressed his intention to reuse him.
Yan Liang forced Cao Cao to commit suicide and wiped out the entire Cao family. When Cao Ren heard the bad news, he was already gnashing his teeth in hatred towards Yan Liang.
Now Liu Bei wants to reuse him and let him guard Liyang against Cao Ren. Cao Ren, who is eager for revenge, is naturally eager to do this.
On the spot, Cao Ren expressed his determination and declared that he would defend Liyang to the death. We will never let the Yan thieves succeed in their plan to invade the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei greatly praised Cao Ren, handed him the imperial edict he had prepared in advance, and sent Cao Ren on his way immediately. Rush to Liyang.
Just when Cao Ren stood up to say goodbye and was about to walk out of the lobby, Chen Dao hurried in and handed over another urgent message.
That urgent report just arrived from Guan Yu. After crossing the river, he called Yan Liang. The army is advancing rapidly and has implemented a complete blockade of Liyang. Liu Bei is asked to make a quick decision.
Seeing this piece of information, Liu Bei was dumbfounded.
He really didn¡¯t expect that Yan Liang was so quick with his troops. Chen Qun had just reported the defeat from the front, and Yan Liang had already surrounded Liyang City.
Liyang was besieged, so Cao Ren was naturally unable to go to Liyang City. The matter of replacing Guan Yu will also come to nothing.
"Li Yang has been surrounded. It is impossible to get Yi Shuai at this time, so we might as well let this matter go." Zhuge Liang advised.
Liu Bei had no choice but to give up his intention of replacing Guan Yu with Cao Ren.
At this point, Liu Bei can only put his treasure on Guan Yu, hoping that Guan Yu will not disappoint him again and defend Liyang to his death.
As for Guan Yu's worry about losing his tail, he can only put it aside for now.
"As long as Yun Chang doesn't go to war, with his strength, it won't be a problem to defend Liyang. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much." Zhuge Liang comforted him.
Liu Bei's gloomy expression softened a bit, and his confidence was rekindled in his brows.
"Yan Thief, your small victory doesn't matter. I will drag you under Liyang City until you are exhausted. At that time, let's see how I deal with you, huh."
Liu Bei stood with his hands behind his back, looking southward with an proud expression.
Fifty miles away, the Chu army's siege had just begun, and the siege lasted three months.
In the past three months, the Chu army dug three trenches and built two high walls outside Liyang City, completely turning Liyang City into a dead city isolated from the outside world.
Yan Liang used Jia Xu's plan to besiege Liyang City for three months without attacking it.
"Don't you Guan Yu rely on the abundant grain and grass savings in Liyang City? Well, I will compete with you on grain and grass to see who can afford more."
Therefore, when hundreds of thousands of Chu troops besieged the city, grain and grass from the Qingxu, Yanyu, Jingyang states south of the Yellow River were continuously sent to the front line of Hebei through floods and droughts.
Although Yan Liang has been on various expeditions in recent years, he has not slacked off at all when it comes to restoring the economy.?.
Important grain-producing areas such as Xudu, Wancheng, Hefei, Shouchun, Xiapi, and Chenliu are dotted with Chu's farmland. Coupled with the newly implemented land equalization system this year, a large amount of wasteland has been reclaimed, and this autumn's grain supply There was a great harvest, and the grain stored in warehouses everywhere was almost overflowing.
To be exaggerated, Guan Yu¡¯s Liyang can only last for half a year at most, but Yan Liang¡¯s Chu Kingdom can support an army of more than 200,000 for two full years.
Yan Liang refused to retreat for a long time and assumed the posture of fighting a protracted war. Liu Bei began to feel uneasy.
According to Zhuge Liang¡¯s estimation, the Chu army could besiege Liyang for at most three months, and would return to the south of the Yellow River in less than three months, ending its future northern invasion.
But three months have passed, and the Chu army has shown no intention of withdrawing its troops. Zhuge Liang's prediction was miscalculated, so how could Liu Bei not be worried.
Guan Yu in Liyang City was naturally even more worried.
Most of the food and grass in the city has been consumed. Although there is still enough food and grass to last more than three months, the firewood has long been exhausted. Both the army and the people can only rely on the wood of dismantled houses to make fires.
Autumn turns to winter, the first snow of early winter arrives unexpectedly, and the weather gets colder.
???????????? The houses in Liyang City had either had their doors removed or their doors torn down, and as for the beds, they had also been torn down and set on fire.
So, when the cold winter came, both soldiers and civilians had to live in drafty rooms and sleep on the hard ground. Life became increasingly difficult.
All kinds of things caused the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city to gradually decline. Even Guan Yu himself became increasingly depressed.
What troubles Guan Yu the most is that he has lost contact with the outside world for three months. He has no idea where Liu Beibing is, whether he plans to rescue Li Yang, or how he plans to rescue him.
This isolation of information. Guan Yu felt even more frightened.
When Guan Yu was frightened and uneasy, Yan Liang's good days arrived.
It¡¯s a cold day and the wind is blowing. The temperature has dropped to the lowest point since the beginning of winter. If you stand outside and urinate, you can freeze into ice in the blink of an eye.
At dusk, Yan Liang, sitting on a red rabbit horse and wrapped in a thick robe, led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses into the south of Liyang City.
Thirty thousand well-fed and drunk soldiers of the Chu army marched vigorously. Approaching the enemy city with great force.
There was a loud sound of gongs at the top of the city, and the trembling Han soldiers boarded the top of the city one after another. After hearing the news, Guan Yu also rushed there.
"The Yan thief finally couldn't stand it any longer. Are you planning to attack the city?" Looking at the enemy at the top of the city, Guan Yu raised his lips with a hint of pride, "Humph. Good attack. I will give you some color to show off."
Guan Yu immediately ordered the soldiers to cheer up and prepare to severely attack the enemy attacking the city.
Outside the city, Yan Liang looked up at the tense city and sneered: "Guan Yu, don't get excited. I haven't planned to break the city yet. I'm just giving you a small surprise today."
??Sneering. Yan Liang raised his riding whip slightly.
The flag is waved, and the holy will is sent out.
The Chu army¡¯s formation slowly split apart. More than a thousand soldiers came to the top of the city carrying thick and long logs and large pots. The logs were set up and water was boiled in the pots. It was like setting up a formation to have a meal. look.
The Han troops on the top of the city were all dumbfounded when they saw the Chu army's appearance. They looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine the Chu army was selling in their gourds.
"Commander Father, what do the bandits want to do?" Guan Xing asked curiously.
Guan Yu¡¯s brows were furrowed, his eyes were focused, and he watched for a long time before his expression suddenly changed.
"Quick, get the shelter from the rain, now!" Guan Yu, who realized what he was doing, shouted loudly.
"Something to protect you from the rain, Father, what do you need to protect you from the rain in this winter?" Guan Xing said blankly.
Guan Yu roared: "What nonsense are you talking about? Thief Yan is going to attack the city with water dragon cannons. Why don't you go and act quickly?"
Guan Xing and the left and right Han troops suddenly realized what they were doing, and all of them turned pale with fear.
Yes, Yan Liangzheng planned to bombard the city with water dragon cannons.
Didn¡¯t you, Guan Yu, double the walls of Liyang City to render my city-breaking cannon useless? Well, if it¡¯s freezing cold today and your city can¡¯t be blasted, I¡¯ll let you taste the feeling of being frozen.
Although Yan Liang had not used water dragon cannons against the Han Dynasty, Guan Yu in the Han Dynasty had already heard about what happened when he froze Luokou City. Therefore, when he saw the strange behavior of the Chu army, he could deduce Yan Liang's intentions. .
Guan Xing was ordered to leave and hurriedly looked for something to protect him from the rain.
Outside the city, more than 500 water dragon cannons were filled with boiling snow water, and their steaming muzzles were all aimed at the city head.
?"Your Majesty, the water dragon cannon has been loaded. Please give the order to attack the city." Zhu Huan flew to ask for instructions.
"Wait a moment."
Yan Liang suddenly had an evil idea, so he galloped on his horse and arrived in front of the formation.
Yan Liang got off his horse and went straight to a big pot. He unbuttoned his pants and hissed into the pot.
The soldiers on the left and right were dumbfounded and looked at their emperor in surprise. He spilled "dragon urine" in front of all the soldiers.
After the shushing, Yan Liang lifted up his pants and said to everyone: "What are you doing in a daze? Come together and let the enemy have a taste of something new."
The soldiers were in a daze and swarmed forward. More than a dozen cannons peeed into the pot, and then they were mixed with snow water and poured into the water dragon cannon.
Yan Liang got on his horse, pointed his riding whip, and sneered: "Let me blast the city, and let Guan Yu taste the taste of my dragon's urine."
The decree was issued, and the war drums sounded loudly.
In the blink of an eye, more than five hundred water dragon cannons fired in unison, and columns of water rose up into the sky, roaring towards the city.
The Han troops at the top of the city were so frightened that they hid in all directions and used various objects to try to resist the impact of the water flow. However, the water cannons falling from the sky still hit hundreds of Han troops.
When the Han soldiers were soaked by water, the snow quickly froze, freezing the Han soldiers' armor and skin together. The slightest movement of the armor would tear the skin off.
The sound of screams suddenly started.
Guan Yu was lucky. A dozen soldiers used huge shields to form a "big umbrella" to block the water cannon attack. At most, there were only residual water drops dripping from the narrow gaps. come out.
"Humph, you Yan thief, you are just a thief with strange skills and skills, how can you do it to me." Guan Yu snorted coldly, with great disdain.
At this moment, a drop of water fell and landed on the corner of Guan Yu's mouth. Guan Yu subconsciously licked it and suddenly felt a salty and astringent taste.
