Han counter current

Cao Pi closed his eyes, but he kept roaring in his heart. He hated Sima Yi and himself, and this hatred could only be extinguished by Sima Yi's blood.

Chapter 738 The Hypocritical Person 1

It's not that Liu Bei didn't want to leave, but when he sent troops this time, he was very powerful, but he didn't expect that the emperor died in his own hands not long after he arrived in Xinye.

The rumors outside are very strong now, and the target has already been pointed at him.It seems that someone deliberately incited behind the scenes, and many people think that Liu Bei killed the emperor.

Liu Bei really can't bear this notoriety, and he doesn't dare to bear it, but he can't explain it now.Originally, he could have put all the blame on Sima Yi and blamed him.

However, Sima Yi was also very cunning. Just after hearing the news of His Majesty's death, Sima Yi immediately reached an agreement with Liu Bei.

After fighting Zhang Liao's army, Liu Bei knew that he had been fooled, but he had no chance to regret it. After all, Chen Feng was besieging Chen Liu at that time. If he could defeat Zhang Liao's army as soon as possible, he might really have a chance to capture Siliu. land.

The ideal is always so full, but the reality gave Liu Bei a slap in the face.Chen Feng had defeated Chen Liu and forced the rest of the Cao clan to surrender, but the Jingzhou army he led had not yet defeated Zhang Liao.

Fortunately, Sima Yi was very knowledgeable about current affairs, and he joined Liu Bei's family in a blink of an eye. In this way, Liu Bei got Sima Yi's more than ten thousand elites, as well as those valuables.

Of course, it is impossible for Sima Yi to hand over all his military power, but Sima Yi has to hand over [-]% of those supplies, as well as those aristocratic families who have been kidnapped. As long as Liu Bei can digest them, his strength will definitely increase by a few steps.

The problem is, Chen Feng is about to lead the main force to arrive, he dare not stay here anymore, return to Xiangyang, digest the results of the battle, accumulate strength, strive for an alliance with Jiangdong, and then develop strength westward, this is the way Liu Bei should go next .

"Chen Feng is about to lead his army to arrive. His Majesty's death is inseparably related to this person. Now that he has wiped out Cao Cao's troops, his strength has greatly increased. Our army's morale is unstable, and it is not suitable to fight the enemy for the time being.

Therefore, I plan to lead the army to retreat and rest after retreat. The land of Jingxiang is full of swamps and rivers, which is not suitable for large-scale cavalry operations, and most of Chen Feng's subordinates come from the northern grasslands, which are not suitable for the southern climate.

If the enemy dares to go south, we can take advantage of the terrain to defeat the enemy one by one and defuse the mighty momentum of the northern army.It's just that, to cover the retreat of the army, there must be an elite army. "

In the big tent, Liu Bei's cronies and subordinates are crowded here. As the lord, Liu Bei has already expressed his thoughts, and the next step is to retreat.

Among the crowd, Guan Yu is an old subordinate who has followed Liu Bei for many years, there are also generals from the Jingzhou faction like Wenpin, and fringe personnel like Sima Yi who have just joined the army. Bandit and so on.

Liu Bei's eyes always glanced at Sima Yi and the bandit leaders intentionally or unintentionally, which seemed to imply that they stepped forward to take over the task.

Several bandit leaders were named generals by Liu Bei just now, and each one of them was thinking about making contributions, and now they are being taken care of by Liu Bei, and they are very excited.

Only Sima Yi, half-closed his eyes, seemed to be asleep, and seemed to be thinking about something. In short, he completely ignored Liu Bei's hints and eyes.

"Hmph, you are so mother-in-law. Could it be that you are all a bunch of cowards? Don't you just stay and die? There is nothing to be afraid of."

Seeing that the generals hinted by Liu Bei hadn't stepped forward, Guan Yu's anger came up.These two brothers really know how to cooperate.

Back then, when Liu Bei had just left Yuan Shao and arrived in Runan, he also recruited a group of Yellow Turbans to surrender. Veterans of the Yellow Turbans like Liu Pi were fooled by Liu Bei when Cao Cao's army arrived.

At that time, Liu Pi and those people were not very willing to go, and then Guan Yu stood up and sang the double reed, plus Liu Bei's emotional speech, Liu Pi and those people chose to stay after the break, and then, they all became Cao Jun's The dead under the knife.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu are too familiar with this kind of routine.In addition, there is Zhuge Liang who is brewing something next to him. These generals who have just surrendered should stand up.

However, most of the generals who had just joined the army did not speak at this time. In a vague way, these people seemed to be standing beside Sima Yi. Judging by their posture, if Sima Yi did not speak, they would not step forward to take over the task.

"Trash, a bunch of trash, those people from the Northern Border Army who put in labels and sell heads are not worth mentioning in front of my Azure Dragon Saber. You dare not resist such trash, and talk about restoring the Han Dynasty.

Hmph, since that's the case, you might as well hide in the woman's bed with the things in your crotch tightly, what are you still doing standing here, as long as Chen Feng comes, I will dare to kill him. "

Guan Yu was really angry, these people were too ignorant, his brother hinted at it, and he cooperated with the performance, but these people were indifferent, they didn't give him face at all.

"General Guan is strong. After the general is dead, the enemy will not dare to pursue him."

Suddenly, Sima Yi spoke, and his words immediately blocked the rest of Guan Yu's words.At this time, several bandit leaders nearby began to compliment Guan Yu.

Blindly belittling can kill a person, and similarly, blindly admiring is actually a kind of flattery.Although Sima Yi only said this sentence, he successfully pushed Guan Yu to the forefront.

Next, Sima Yi didn't need to say anything. Naturally, those bandit leaders would compliment Guan Yu. In front of so many people, Guan Yu really couldn't get angry, and Liu Bei didn't know what to say at this time.

Glancing at the military adviser next to him, Liu Bei frowned very tightly, but he only saw Zhuge Liang shaking his head slightly. In desperation, Liu Bei could only order Guan Yu to stay and cut off his heir.

"General Guan is mighty, but to resist the rebel army, you must have a shortage of soldiers and horses. General Guan has only a few thousand people in his headquarters. In my opinion, Mr. Sima has a lot of elites under his command, and he has experience in fighting the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army. I wonder if Mr. Sima can dispatch them. A group of people assists General Guan in cutting off his heir."

Zhuge Liang was naturally unwilling to let go of such an opportunity. Sima Yi was too low-key and cautious. He had to use this opportunity to divide Sima Yi's military power.

"As it should be, I have [-] elite troops under my command, which can be dispatched by General Guan. In addition, General Zheng, General Zhu, General Wu, and others will lead the headquarters with tens of thousands of troops to assist General Guan in cutting off his heir."

Those who were named by Sima Yi were the bandit leaders who were close to him.Who would have thought that Sima Yi would agree so simply, and also hand over an army of more than [-] bandits and bandits. In this way, it would be difficult for Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to say anything, and Guan Yu must be the next task.

Chapter 739 The Hypocritical Person 2

The biggest shortcoming of Guan Yu is that he is too defiant. When he followed Liu Bei before, the reason why others didn't offend him was more to give Liu Bei face.

The most direct example is Zhuge Liang. Since he joined Liu Bei until now, Guan Yu has embarrassed him many times, but Zhuge Liang endured it, but Guan Yu didn't appreciate it.

To some extent, Guan Yu is ignorant of current affairs.In terms of skill, ten Zhuge Liang are not enough to kill Guan Yu, but in terms of scheming and resourcefulness, Guan Yu can't catch up with Zhuge Liang even if he is riding a red rabbit.

If Zhuge Liang really wanted to embarrass him, or teach Guan Yu a lesson, it was definitely just a matter of using his brain.But Zhuge Liang didn't do this because he had to worry about Liu Bei's existence.

But now, Guan Yu was arrogant again, but this time he was targeting Sima Yi.Who would have thought that Sima Yi, who had just joined Liu Bei, would be so shameless, and even set a trap for Guan Yu on the spot.

To a certain extent, Liu Bei and Sima Yi are just a master-servant relationship on the surface, and there is more cooperation between the two.Compared with Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi has more capital. He has an army, food and supplies, and family power, so he doesn't need to worry about Guan Yu's feelings.

Guan Yu, who was arranged to die, now has nowhere to vent his anger.Although he is not extremely intelligent, he also understands the danger of the post-break mission, especially since the main force of the northern border army is about to arrive, the 2 people in his hands are not enough to resist.

"Yun Chang, rest assured, I will make my own decisions about other matters. Here is a kit left by the military adviser for your life-saving. Remember, it cannot be opened until the moment of crisis.

In addition, you must do well the things I arranged for you to do. Remember not to be sloppy. This is related to the safety of the main force of our army. Remember, it is enough to do your own things with peace of mind. Don't worry about other things. "

Before leaving, Liu Bei repeatedly told Guan Yu not to worry, even though Guan Yu had already revealed to him that [-] soldiers and horses were not enough to withstand the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army, but Liu Bei had already issued an order, which cannot be changed now, and besides, someone must stay behind. .

Seeing the main force retreating and seeing Liu Bei's retreating figure, Guan Yu's eyes flashed an imperceptible anger.This time, he was thrown down as an abandoned child, and it was impossible to say that he had no idea in his heart.

But since he took over this task, he must continue to carry it out. After all, he still has an army of [-], even [-] pigs, so he can resist it.

At the moment, Guan Yu was no longer ambiguous, but ordered the army to be alert and strengthen the camp defense. At the same time, he began to gather military power. In this troubled world, Guan Yu also understood the importance of military power.

At the same time, Zhang Liao also received news that the main force of the Jingzhou army was retreating, which could not be concealed at all. In order to delay the opponent's retreat, Zhang Liao had to order the army to attack.

"Liu Bei is as timid as a mouse, and he wanted to run away before the Lord's army arrived. Hmph, how dare such a person compete with the Lord for the world. Commander, the last general asks for orders to pursue the enemy."

In the camp, all the generals were discussing how to defeat Guan Yu's camp, but Ma Chao wanted to attack Liu Bei's main force directly.After all, they haven't retreated far, so they have every chance to hunt down and kill them.

More importantly, Ma Chao is eager to get credit.For this attack on the Central Plains, he was placed under Zhang Liao's command, and he missed the battle of Xuchang and the battle of Chenliu. It can be said that he has missed all the great contributions.

If he can't find some ground from Liu Bei in front of him, then he, Ma Chao, is the most aggrieved of all the generals.Just imagine, Huang Zhong has the merit of attacking the city, Zhao Yun has the reward of the pioneer of Thunderbolt, and Zhang Xiu has successively captured the important places of Xuzhou and Yuzhou. Even Pang De has a lot of credit.

Only Ma Chao, except for the defeat of Guan Yu's soldiers and horses at the beginning, basically did not get any other credit. Later, when he confronted the main force of Liu Bei's army, Zhuge Liang also used the method of sticking to the camp and adapting measures to local conditions to fight against the cavalry of the northern Xinjiang army. Ma Chao was also powerless. make.

That's why Ma Chao is so eager to show off and win credit now. Guan Yu's [-] troops are nothing. Only by killing Liu Bei can Ma Chao get Chen Feng's appreciation.

"Our army is superior to the convenience of the cavalry. After Guan Yu leads the army, it will pose a threat to our army's food supply, but it is really inappropriate to watch the enemy's main force retreat.

However, Liu Bei is insidious, Zhuge Liang is cunning, and Sima Yi is full of bad things. I am afraid that the general will be too impulsive and will be plotted by the enemy. "
