But Cheng Yu offered a plan, saying,"Yun Chang is an enemy of ten thousand men. He cannot be defeated without wisdom. Now we can send Liu Bei's surrendered soldiers,

When he entered Xiapi and saw Guan Yu, he said that Guan Yu had fled and was lying in ambush in the city. So he led Guan Yu out to fight, feigning defeat and enticing him to go elsewhere.

It is possible to send elite troops to intercept the enemy's retreat and then persuade them to surrender.”Cao Cao listened to Guan Yu's plan and ordered dozens of soldiers from Xuzhou to surrender to Guan Yu. Guan

Duke Huan of Qi thought it was an old weapon, so he left it without hesitation.

The next day, Xiahou Dun led 5,000 troops to fight. Guan Yu did not come out, Zhang Dun immediately sent people to the city to insult him. Guan Yu was furious.

He led 3,000 troops out of the city to fight Xiahou Dun. After more than ten rounds of fighting, Zhang Dun turned his horse around and fled. When Guan Yu arrived, Zhang Dun fought and fled. Guan Gong

After about twenty miles, he was afraid that Xiapi would be lost, so he led his troops back. There was the sound of a cannon. Xu Huang was on the left, and Xu Chu was on the right. The two armies intercepted them.

On the way, Guan Yu cut off the road and fled. The ambush on both sides arranged hundreds of hard crossbows, and the arrows flew like locusts. Guan Yu could not pass through, so he led his troops back again.

Xu Chu caught it and fought. Guan Yu fought hard to kill the two men and led his army back to Xiapi. Xiahou Dun intercepted him and fought. You fought until it was dark, and there was no way out.

He could return and only get a dirt mountain. He led his troops to camp on the top of the mountain and temporarily rested. The Cao soldiers surrounded the earth mountain. Guan Yu looks afar from the mountain

The city of Xiapi was ablaze with flames. It was the soldiers who had pretended to surrender and had secretly opened the city gate. Cao Cao led his army into the city and only asked them to light the fire to confuse Guan Yu.

The heart. Guan Yu saw that Xiapi was on fire and panicked. He rushed down the mountain several times during the night, but was shot back by arrows.

At daybreak, he wanted to reorganize the conflict down the mountain again. Suddenly he saw a man riding up the mountain. It was Zhang Liao. Guan Yu said to him:

"Is Wen Yuan here to fight?" "No," said Liao. Thinking of the old feelings of my old friend, I came to see you.”So he threw down his sword and dismounted.

How can I not save my brother?" "Then does Wen Yuan intend to help me?”"Not really," said Liao. "Since you will not help me," said the duke,

Why are you here?" "Liu Bei does not know whether he lives or dies, and I do not know whether I live or die. Last night Cao Cao had already broken through Xiapi, and the army and the people were unharmed.

Send someone to guard Liu Bei's family, do not let them panic. I've come to report your kindness." Guan Yu said angrily,"These words are directed at me. I

Although I'm in a dangerous place now, I'm not afraid of death. You should leave quickly, and I'll go down the mountain to fight.”Zhang Liao laughed and said,"Brother, what you say will be laughed at by the whole world.

Huh?" "I died for loyalty," said the Duke of Jin."How can I be laughed at by the world?”"If you die now, my brother, you will be guilty of three crimes.”Duke Huan said:

"Are you talking about my three sins?" "When you and your brother became sworn brothers, you swore to live and die together. Now that you're defeated, you're here

If you die in battle, if you come out again and ask for your brother's help, but you can't get it again, won't you break the oath of alliance that year? This is the first crime. Liu Shijun

My family is entrusted to my brother. Now that my brother has died in battle, the second wife has no one to rely on and has failed to fulfill the heavy responsibility of relying on you. This is the second crime. My brother's martial arts are outstanding,

And through the classics and history books, do not want to let you together to help the Han Dynasty, just want to go through fire and water, in order to achieve the courage of ordinary people, how can be righteous? This is the third crime. brother

With these three crimes, I have no choice but to sue you."

"You say I have three sins," said the Duke of Jin."What do you want me to do?”"Cao Cao's army is on all sides," said Liao."If you don't surrender, then

It is better to surrender to Cao Cao for the time being. I'll go and find out where Liu Shijun is. If I know where he is, I'll go to him. One can protect two

Lady, these two do not violate the agreement of the peach garden, these three can keep a useful body: Brother, please consider these three advantages." The Duke said,"Brother, I have three words.

I have three promises. If the Prime Minister agrees, I will take off my armor. If you don't agree, I'd rather die for three crimes.”"Your Majesty," said Liao,"I'm sorry.

How can we not tolerate the magnanimity of the people? I'd like to hear three things." The duke said,"First, I swore an oath with my uncle to help the Han family. I will only surrender to the Han.

No matter where Uncle Liu went, he would say goodbye," If one of the three is missing, he will never surrender. I hope Wenyuan will report back quickly." Zhang Liaoying

Yes." "The Second Mistress wishes to ask for the Imperial Uncle's salary," said Liao."No one is allowed to come to the door.”Cao Cao replied,"I am in charge of the Imperial Uncle's salary.

Give him double. As for the ban on inside and outside, it is the family law, what doubt!”"I only know that Liu Bei's message is," said Liao,"that although it is far away, it will certainly be

Go." Cao Cao shook his head and said,"Then what is the use of raising Yun Chang? This matter is difficult to comply with." Liao said,"Have you not heard of Yu Rang's remarks about the people and scholars of the state?"

What? Liu Xuande treated Yun Chang with nothing but kindness. The Prime Minister gave him more kindness to make him happy. Why worry that he would not obey?”Cao Cao said,"Wen

Li Yuan's words are very appropriate. I would like to do three things from now on.”Zhang Liao went up the mountain to report to Guan Yu. "Even so," said Guan Yu,"I beg you to withdraw.

Army, let me enter the city to see my second sister-in-law, tell her what happened, and then surrender.”Zhang Liao came back again and reported this to Cao Cao. Cao Cao immediately gave the order to retreat.

Thirty miles. "No," said Xun Yu,"I fear there will be fraud.”Cao Cao said,"I am a righteous man, and will not break my promise.”So he led his army back. Guan Gongyin

When the army entered Xiapi, they saw that the people were calm and motionless, and finally arrived at the government. I came to see my second sister-in-law. When Lady Gan and Lady Mi heard Guan Yu's arrival, they hurried out to welcome him.

That's right. The Duke of Lu bowed at the foot of the steps and said,"It is my fault that I have frightened you.”"Where is Uncle?" asked the Second Mistress.”Duke Huan said:

"I don't know where he went." "What will you do now, Second Uncle?”"I went out of the city to fight to the death," said the Duke of Jin."I was trapped on a hill. Zhang Liao persuaded me to go.

I surrender, and I promise you three things. Cao Cao has agreed to obey, so he withdrew his troops and let us enter the city. I didn't get sister-in-law's idea, I didn't dare to do it without her permission

Alright." "What about the three things?" asked the Second Mistress. Guan Yu told him in detail about the three things mentioned in the letter. "Yesterday Cao Cao's army entered the city," said Lady Gan.

We all thought we were going to die, but who would have thought that we would not move at all, and the whole army would not dare to enter the gate? Since uncle has accepted the promise, why ask us two? I'm afraid that in the future

Cao Cao won't allow uncle to go find Imperial Uncle." "Rest assured, sister-in-law," said Guan Yu."I have my own plans.”The Second Mistress said,"Uncle, you decide for yourself.

You don't have to ask me about anything."

Guan Yu dismissed him and led dozens of cavalry to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao personally went out of the gate to meet him. Guan Yu dismounted and bowed to Cao Cao. Cao Cao hurriedly returned the salute. Guan Gong

"The general of the defeated army is deeply indebted to the kindness of not killing him.”Cao Cao said,"I have always admired your loyalty. It is my honor to meet you today. It is enough to comfort you all your life.

Hope." Guan Yu replied,"I, Wen Yuan, have three orders for you. I have the Prime Minister's permission. I will not break my promise.”Cao Cao said,"My words are spoken, and I dare not fail.

Yes." Guan Yu replied,"If I knew where my Imperial Uncle was, I would go with him, even if I had to go through fire and water. I'm afraid it's too late to say goodbye. I beg to see you.

Thank you. Cao Cao gave a banquet to welcome him. The next day he returned to Xuchang. Guan Yu packed up the chariots and horses, invited his two sisters-in-law to get on the carriage, and personally escorted the carriage. Resting on the road

Guan Yu and his two sisters-in-law lived in the same room. Cao Cao wanted to disturb the etiquette between Guan Yu and his subjects, so he let Guan Yu and his two sisters-in-law live together. Guan Yu stood outside the door with a candle in his hand. From night until dawn, he did not see anything.

Tired. When Cao Cao saw Cao Cao's behavior, he admired him even more. When they reached Xuchang, Cao Cao gave Guan Yu a mansion to live in. Guan Yu divided a house into two houses, the inner door

He sent ten old soldiers to guard the place, and Guan Yu lived in the outer house.

Cao Cao summoned Guan Yu to see Emperor Xian, who appointed him as a partial general. Duke Huan thanked him and returned home. The next day, Cao Cao held a banquet and gathered all the strategists and warriors.

He received Guan Yu with courtesy and invited him to his seat. He also prepared silk, brocade and gold and silver utensils to send him off. Guan Yu gave them all to his two sisters-in-law. When Guan Yu arrived at Xuchang, Cao Cao's

He treated them very well: a small banquet for three days, a big banquet for five days; He also sent ten beautiful women to serve Guan Yu. Guan Yu sent them all into the inner gate and ordered them to wait on two of them.

Sister. Once every three days, he bowed outside the inner door and asked if Second Sister-in-law was well. The Second Mistress returned to ask about the Imperial Uncle and said,"Uncle, since

Then Guan Yu dared to retreat. When Cao Cao heard this, he admired Guan Yu again and again.

One day, Cao Cao saw that Guan Yu's green brocade battle robe was old. He measured Guan Yu's body and took out a special brocade battle robe and gave it to Guan Yu. Guan Yu accepted it,

He put it on the bottom of his clothes and covered it with an old robe. Cao Cao smiled and said,"Why are you so frugal?”"I am not thrifty," said the Duke of Jin. Old robe

It was given by Uncle Liu. I wore it as if I had seen my brother's face. I didn't dare to forget my brother's old gift because of the new gift from the Prime Minister, so I wore it on the emperor.”Cao Cao sighed and said,

"A true righteous man!" However, although the mouth is full of envy, the heart is really unhappy. One day, Guan Yu was in the mansion when he suddenly reported,"The Second Mistress of the inner court has fallen to the ground crying.

I don't know why, but please come in quickly." Guan Yu straightened his clothes and knelt outside the inner door. He asked his sister-in-law why she was crying. Lady Gan said,"I had a dream at night

My uncle is trapped in a pit. I woke up and talked to Mrs. Mi about it. I think he's in the underworld! So I cried." Guan Yu said,"I was dreaming

I can't rely on my sister-in-law's words. This is the reason why my sister-in-law misses me. Please do not worry."

Just then, Cao Cao sent an envoy to invite Guan Yu to a banquet. Cao Cao said goodbye to his two sisters-in-law and went to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao saw the tears on his face and asked him why. public

"My second sister-in-law is crying bitterly because she misses my brother.”Cao Cao smiled and comforted him, and often offered wine to persuade him. The Duke of Lu was drunk, and he stroked his beard and said,

He said,"If I cannot repay my country, and betray my brother, I am but a man!”Cao Cao asked,"Is there a limit to the length of the beard?”"Roughly," said the Duke.

A hundred. Every autumn moon, about three or five will be withdrawn. In winter, people often wrap it in a black gauze bag for fear that it will break.”Cao Cao made a bag of gauze and brocade and gave it to Guan Yu.

Give me a bag to store it." The emperor ordered him to sweep his clothes in the hall and pass them over his belly. "What a beautiful bearded man!" said the Emperor. So people call it "Beautiful Beard

public."

One day, Cao Cao invited Guan Yu to a banquet. Before leaving, Cao Cao sent Cao Cao out of the mansion. Seeing Cao Cao's horse thin, Cao Cao said: "Why are stallions so thin?" Guan Gong

He said,"My humble body is very heavy, and the horse cannot carry it, so I am often thin.”Cao Cao ordered his men to prepare a horse. Soon he was brought back. The horse's body is like burning charcoal,

The shape is very magnificent. "Do you recognize this horse?" said Cao Cao. "Is it the Red Hare that Lu Bu rode on?" asked the Duke of Lu.”"Yes," said Cao Cao

Yes." So he took the saddle and bridle to Guan Yu. Guan Yu bowed again and thanked him. Cao Cao said unhappily,"I have given many beautiful women gold and silk, but you have never bowed down to me. this

Hao, a house separated from each other, loyalty is high. The treacherous prime minister wronged him and treated him with empty courtesy. How could he know that Guan Yu would not surrender to Cao Cao?”Cao Cao asked Zhang Liao,"Do I wait for Yun Chang?"

When I recommended my brother to the Prime Minister, he never fell behind.”"I am deeply moved by the Prime Minister's kindness," said Duke Huan. Although I'm here, I miss my uncle and haven't left.

I'm pregnant." "You are wrong, brother," said Zhang Liao."He is not a real man, for he does not distinguish what is important and what is not. Liu Bei treats you better than the Prime Minister.

Want to leave?" "I know very well that Cao Cao treats me very well," said Cao Cao. I have received great kindness from Uncle Liu and vowed to die with him. I can't betray him. My end

Don't stay here. The key is to report to Cao Cao immediately, and then leave.”"If Liu Bei is dead, where will you go?" said Liu Liao.”Duke Huan said:

"I'm willing to follow the underground." Liao knew that Cao Cao could not stay, so he took his leave and went back to Cao Cao to tell him the truth. Cao Cao sighed and said,"The master does not forget him.

Liu Bei, however, had been troubled by Yuan Shao. "Why is Liu Bei so worried?" asked Yuan Shao. Liu Bei replied,"I don't know what happened to my younger brother.

Nuan, it's a good time to mobilize the army." So they discussed how to defeat Cao Cao. Tian Feng remonstrated,"When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, the capital was empty, and there was no time to attack now.

Now that Xuzhou has been defeated, Cao Cao's troops are very strong and cannot underestimate the enemy. It is better to hold them for a long time and wait for them to show signs of weakness before moving.”"Wait for me," said Yuan Shao.

Sizhi." Then he asked Liu Bei,"Tian Feng has advised me to hold fast. What do you think?”Liu Bei said,"Cao Cao is a traitor who deceives the sovereign. If you do not punish him,

I'm afraid I'll lose the righteousness of the world." "What Liu Bei said is very good," said Yuan Shao. So he wanted to raise an army. Tian Feng remonstrated again. Yuan Shao said angrily,"You

You've made me lose my righteousness!" Tian Feng kowtowed and said,"If you don't listen to my advice, you'll be at a disadvantage.”Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to kill him.

Liu Bei tried his best to persuade him, so he was imprisoned. When Liu Shou saw Tian Feng imprisoned, he gathered his clan, gave away all his property, and said goodbye to him."I follow the army

If you leave, if you win, you will be invincible. If you lose, you will lose your life!”Everyone shed tears to see him off.

Yuan Shao sent General Yan Liang as the vanguard to attack Baima. "Yan Shang is a narrow-minded man, and though he is brave, he cannot be appointed alone.”Shao

"I am a superior general, and you cannot expect me to do so.”The army marched to Liyang, and Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun, reported to Xuchang. Cao Cao urgently discussed sending troops

Against the enemy. When Guan Yu heard this, he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Cao Cao and said: "When I heard that the Prime Minister is starting an army, I am willing to be the vanguard.”"I dare not trouble you, General," said Cao Cao.

Sooner or later, if there's something, I'll come and invite you." Guan Yu then retreated.

Cao Cao led 150,000 troops in three teams. On the way, he received Liu Yan's emergency letter. Cao Cao first led 50,000 troops to Baima and relied on the earth.

The mountain was stuck. Looking at the plain and wilderness in front of the mountain, Yan Liang's elite soldiers of 100,000 were arranged in battle array. Cao Cao looked back at Lu Bu's old general Song.

"I have heard that you are a brave general under Lu Bu, and that you can fight with Yan Liang.”Song Xian accepted his promise, took his spear and mounted his horse, and went straight to the front of the battle. Yan

Zhang Liang raised his sword and rode under the flag of the gate. When he saw Song Xian's horse coming, Zhang Liang shouted and rode to meet him. After three rounds of fighting, he raised his hand and cut Song Xian with his knife.

In front of the formation. Cao Cao was surprised and said,"What a brave general!”Wei Xu said,"You killed my companion. I'm willing to take revenge.”Cao Cao agreed. Mount the horse again

Holding a spear, he went straight to the front of the battle and cursed Yan Liang. Zhang Liang did not say anything more. He rode together and cut Wei Xu's head with a knife under his horse. Cao Cao said:

"Who dares to do it now?" Xu Huang responded and went out. He fought twenty rounds with Yan Liang and was defeated and returned to his original position. The generals were shocked. Cao Cao withdrew his troops, and Zhang Liang was also defeated.

The army retreated.

When Cao Cao saw that he had killed two generals in succession, he was very worried. "I will give you a man who can rival Yan Liang," said Cheng Yu.”Cao Cao asked who it was. "It's not about that," said Yu.

You can't." "I am afraid he will leave after he has made a great contribution," said Cao Cao.”"If Liu Bei had been here, he would have gone to Yuan Shao," said Yu. Now if Yun Chang defeats Yuan

Yuan Shao's army, Yuan Shao will certainly suspect Liu Bei and kill him. Now that Liu Bei is dead, where will you go?" Cao Cao was very happy and sent someone to invite Guan Yu. Guan Gong

So he went in to say goodbye to his sister-in-law. "Uncle," said the second sister-in-law,"you can go now and ask for news of the Imperial Uncle.”Guan Yu took his word and went out, holding the Green Dragon Saber and the Red Rabbit.

The horse led several followers to the white horse to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao said,"Yan Liang killed two generals in succession. He was so brave that he could not be stopped. I have specially invited Yun Changshang to come."

Consider." "Let me see," said Guan Yu. Cao Cao prepared a banquet. Suddenly I heard that Yan Liang was fighting. Cao Cao led Guan Yu up the hill to see. Cao and Guan

Duke Huan of Qi sat down, and the generals stood around him. Cao Cao pointed to Yan Liang's formation at the foot of the mountain. It was a clear-cut battle formation with spears and sabers everywhere. It was orderly and dignified. It was Guan Yu.

Sell your head and ears!" "Do not underestimate him," said Cao Cao. Guan Yu rose to his feet and said,"Though I am not talented, I am willing to take his head from the army and present it to you.

Look." Zhang Liao said,"There is no joking talk in the army. The commander of the cloud cannot be ignored.”Guan Yu mounted his horse and ran down the mountain with his Green Dragon Saber.

Her phoenix eyes were wide open, and her silkworm-like eyebrows were straight as she charged straight into the array. The army north of the Yellow River was like a wave, and Guan Yu went straight to Yan Liang. Yan Liang was under the banner when he saw

Guan Yu rushed over and was about to ask when Guan Yu's Red Hare and horse were already in front of him. Yan Liang was caught off guard and was stabbed by Yun Chang.

The soldiers and generals of Hebei were greatly alarmed and rebelled without fighting. Cao Cao's army took advantage of the situation to attack, and countless people died. Horses and equipment were robbed. Guan Yu rode on his horse

On the mountain, all the generals congratulated him. Cao Cao presented his head to Cao Cao. "The general is truly a man of God," said Cao Cao. Guan Yu said,"I'm not worth mentioning.

When you meet Zhang Yide, don't underestimate him." He ordered him to write it down on the bottom of his robe.

Yan Liang's defeated army was on the way back. He met Yuan Shao on the way and reported that a brave general with a long red face and a long beard had rushed into the battle and killed Yan Liang.

He left and was defeated. "Who is this man?" asked Yuan Shao in surprise. "This must be Guan Yunchang, Liu Xuande's younger brother," said Ju Shou.”Shao

"Your brother killed my beloved general," he said, pointing to Liu Bei in great anger."You must be a conspirator. What's the use of keeping you?”He called for the executioners to push out Liu Bei and behead him. positive

Answer: At first I was a guest of honor, but today I am almost like a prisoner. I don't know what happened to Liu Bei, but I'll explain it later.
