Chapter 26 The twenty-fifth chapter of the Tuntushanguan Convention and the Three Matters Rescue the White Horse and Cao Cao from the Encirclement

But Cheng Yu offered a plan and said: Yunchang has an enemy of ten thousand people, and he cannot be captured without resourcefulness.Now you can send Liu Bei's soldiers who surrendered to Xiapi. When they saw Guan Gong, they only said that they had fled back, and they fell in the city as an internal response; Road, and then talk about it.Cao listened to his plan and ordered Xuzhou to surrender dozens of troops, and they dropped down to Pi to surrender Guan Gong.Guan Gong thought he was an old soldier, so he stayed without doubting it.The next day, Xiahou Dun took the vanguard and led five thousand troops to fight.When Guan Gong didn't come out, Dun Shi made people insult him under the city.Guan Gong was furious and led 3,000 troops out of the city to fight Xiahou Dun.After about ten rounds of battle, Dun dialed back his horse and walked away.Guan Gong came, and Dun fought and left.Guan agreed to rush for twenty miles. Fearing that he might lose his way, he raised his troops and returned.Only a bang was heard, Xu Huang was on the left, Xu Chu was on the right, and the two armies stopped the way.Guan Gong took the road and left, and the ambush soldiers on both sides lined up hundreds of hard crossbows, and the arrows were like locusts.Guan Gong couldn't pass, he reined in his troops and returned, Xu Huang and Xu Chu caught up and fought.Guan Gong fought hard to kill the two men and led the army back to Bupi, but Xia Houdun stopped and fought again.In the evening of the public battle, there was no way to return, and only a mountain of earth was obtained, and the troops were led to garrison on the top of the mountain, and they had the right to rest for a while.Cao Bingtuan surrounded Tushan.Guan Gong looked at Xiapi city from the mountain, the flames were soaring into the sky, but the soldiers who had surrendered secretly opened the gate of the city. Cao Cao raised his army and entered the city, only to raise fire to confuse Guan Gong's heart.Seeing the fire in Xiapi, Guan Gong panicked and rushed down the mountain several times throughout the night, but was shot back by random arrows.

At dawn, when he was about to rectify the conflict down the mountain, he suddenly saw a person running up the mountain, and he regarded him as Zhang Liao.Guan Gongying said: "Wen Yuan wants to come to fight the enemy?"Liao said: "Feiye: I miss the old feelings of my old friend, and I am here to meet you."So he abandoned his sword and dismounted from his horse, and after finishing his ceremony with Guan Gong, he sat on the top of the mountain.The duke said: Did Wenyuan talk about Guan?Liao said: Otherwise: in the past, the brother Meng saved the younger brother, but today the younger brother is safe and the younger brother is not saved?The duke said: But Wen Yuan wants to help me?Liao said: "It's not true."The duke said: "If you don't help me, what are you doing here?"Liao said: Xuande doesn't know life and death, and Yide doesn't know life and death.Last night Cao Gong had broken down the pi, and there was no harm to the soldiers and civilians. He sent people to guard Xuande's family and not to disturb them.Treat each other like this, brother specially came to report to brother.Guan Gong said angrily: "This remark is especially about me."Although I am now in a desperate situation, I regard death as home.You should go quickly, and I will go down the mountain to fight.Zhang Liao laughed and said, "Brother, don't you make the world laugh at what you say?"The Duke said: I died fighting for my loyalty, how can I laugh for the world?Liao said: "Brother died today. There are three crimes.The Duke said, "Tell me about my three crimes?"Liao said: "When Liu Shijun and his brother were married, they swore to live and die together. Now that the emperor is defeated and his brother is killed in battle, if the king returns and wants to help his brother, but he can't get it back, wouldn't he live up to the oath of the past?" Its crime is one.Liu Shijun entrusted his family to his brother, and his brother died in battle today. The second wife has nothing to rely on, but the burden is so heavy that Shijun relies on: the crime is two.The elder brother is excellent in martial arts, and he is also familiar with the classics and history. He didn't think about helping the emperor to help the Han Dynasty, but he wanted to go through fire and water.Brother has these three crimes, and brother has to sue.

Gong pondered and said: You said that I have three crimes, what do you want from me?Liao said: "There are Cao Gong's soldiers on all sides. If you don't surrender, you will die. It is useless to die. If you don't, you will surrender to Cao Gong. But ask Liu Shijun's message. If you know where it is, go and vote for him."One is to protect the second wife, the other is not to break the promise of Taoyuan, and the third is to keep a useful body: there are these three advantages, I should explain them in detail.The Duke said: "Brother, I have three promises, and I have three promises."If the prime minister can comply, I will take off my armor; if he refuses, I would rather suffer the three crimes and die.Liao said: "The prime minister is lenient and generous, why not tolerate it?"I would like to hear three things.The duke said: First, I made an oath with the emperor's uncle to help the Han family together. Now I only surrender to the Emperor of Han, not Cao Cao; Not allowed to come to the door; the third, but knowing the whereabouts of Liu Huangshu, no matter thousands of miles away, he will resign immediately; if one of the three is missing, he will never surrender.Wang Wenyuan hurriedly returned.Zhang Liao agreed, got on his horse, went back to see Cao Cao, and first talked about surrendering Han but not Cao.Cao cao said with a smile: "I am the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and I am the prime minister of the Han Dynasty."This can be followed.Liao said again: "The second lady wants to ask the emperor's uncle for a salary, and the people from the upper and lower classes are not allowed to come to the door."Cao said: "I am in the emperor's uncle's salary, and I will give it even more."As for the strict prohibition of inside and outside, it is the law of the family, so why doubt it?Liao said again: "But knowing Xuande's message, even if it is far away, it must go."Cao cao shook his head and said, "but what's the use of raising clouds for me?"This matter is difficult.Liao said: "Don't you hear the theory of Yu Rang and the people of the country?"Liu Xuande treats Yun Chang with kindness and kindness.The prime minister is even more kind to tie his heart, so why worry about Yun's long-term dissatisfaction?Cao said: "Wen Yuan's words are very appropriate. I would like to do three things from now on."

Zhang Liao went up to report back to Guan Gong.Guan Gong said: "Nevertheless, please temporarily withdraw from the army, let me go to the city to see my second sister-in-law, tell her about it, and then surrender."Zhang Liao came back again and repaid Cao Cao with his words.Cao Shi sent an order to retreat for thirty miles.Xun Yu said: "No: I'm afraid there will be fraud."Cao said: "Yun Chang, a righteous man, will never break his promise."So he led the army back.Guan Gong led his troops into Xiapi and saw that the people were safe and still; he went to the mansion to see his second sister-in-law.When Mrs. Gan and Mi heard that Guan Gong was coming, they rushed out to meet him.The public worshiped at the bottom of the steps and said: "It's a certain crime to frighten the second sister-in-law."The second lady said, "Where is the emperor's uncle now?"The public said: "I don't know where to go."The second wife said: "What will the second uncle do now?"The duke said: "Guan went out of the city to fight to the death and was trapped in the earth mountain. Zhang Liao persuaded me to surrender. I made an appointment with three things."Cao Cao had already agreed, so he withdrew his troops and let me into the city.I never got my sister-in-law's idea, and I didn't dare to facilitate it.The second wife asked: What three things?Guan Gong will describe the above three matters.Mrs. Gan said: "Yesterday when Cao's army entered the city, we all thought we would die; whoever wants to be unmoved, the first army dare not enter."Uncle Xi has accepted the promise, why bother to ask me?I'm afraid that Cao Cao will not allow his uncle to look for the emperor's uncle in the future.The public said: Don't worry, sister-in-law, Guan has his own opinion.The second lady said: "Uncle is in charge of his own business. You don't have to ask me about everything."

Guan Gong dismissed him and led dozens of cavalry to see Cao Cao.Fuck from the gate to connect.Guan Gong got off his horse and paid homage, Cao Cao hurriedly replied.Guan Gong said: "The defeated general is deeply indebted to the grace of not killing."Cao said: Su Muyun is loyal and loyal. It is a great honor to meet you today, which is enough to comfort the hope of your life.Guan Gong said: "Wen Yuan reported three things to the generation, and the prime minister agreed with him. Forgive me for not breaking my promise."Cao said: "If I speak out, how dare I break my promise?"Guan Gong said: "If Guan knows where the emperor's uncle is, even if he is in trouble, he will go and follow him."At this time, I'm afraid it's too late to say goodbye, so I beg to see the original.Cao said: "If Xuande is here, he must go from the public; but he is afraid that he will perish in the chaos."Public and reassuring, you can still listen to it.Thanks Guan Gong.Hold a banquet to treat each other.The next day the teacher returned to Xuchang.Guan Gong packed up the car, asked his second wife to get in the car, and personally guarded the car.Resting at the post office on the road, he wanted to mess up the etiquette of his monarch and his ministers, so that Guan Gong and his second wife lived in the same room.Guan Gong stood outdoors holding a candle, and he was never tired from night to day.Cao sees the public like this, and respects him even more.When he arrived in Xuchang, he allocated a mansion to live with Guan Gong.Guan Gong divided one house into two courtyards, and the inner gate was guarded by ten veterans.Guan Gong lives in a foreign house.Cao cited Guan Gong to meet Emperor Xian, and the emperor ordered him to be a partial general.Thank you for your kindness and return home.Cao held a big banquet the next day, and all the counselors and warriors of the congregation treated Guan Gong with guest courtesy, and extended his seat. They also prepared silk brocade and gold and silver utensils as gifts.Guan Gong sent them to his second sister-in-law for storage.Since Guan Gong arrived in Xuchang, he has treated him very generously: a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days; he also sent ten beauties to serve Guan Gong.Guan Gong was sent to the inner gate and ordered to serve his second wife.But once every three days, he bowed outside the inner gate to salute, and asked his second sister-in-law if she was well.After the second lady answered the questions about the emperor's uncle, she said: "Uncle, do as you please."Guan Gongfang dared to return.When Cao heard it, he admired Guan Gong again.

One day, Cao Cao saw that the green brocade war robe Guan Gong was wearing was old, so he took a collar of a different brocade war robe as a present as a gift.Guan Gong accepted it, put it on the bottom of his clothes, and still covered it with an old robe.Cao laughed and said, "Why is Yun Chang so frugal?"The duke said: "It's not frugal: the old robe was given by Uncle Liu Huang. I wear it as if seeing my brother. I dare not forget the old gift from my brother with the new gift from the prime minister, so I wear it on it."Cao sighed and said, "A true righteous man!"Although the mouth is envious, the heart is really unhappy.One day, when Guan Gong was in the mansion, he suddenly reported: "The second lady in the inner courtyard fell to the ground crying. I don't know why. Please come in quickly."Guan Gong knelt outside the inner door in full clothes and asked his second sister-in-law why he was weeping.Mrs. Gan said: My Yemeng Emperor Uncle was trapped in the earth pit, and I felt that I came to discuss it with Mrs. Mi, thinking that I would be under the Nine Springs: so we cried for each other.Guan Gong said: You can't trust your dreams.This is why my sister-in-law misses her.Don't worry.

Just as he was talking, Cao Cao ordered an envoy to invite Guan Gong to a banquet.I resigned from my second sister-in-law and went to see Cao.Seeing the public tears, ask why.The duke said: "Second sister-in-law Si brother cried bitterly, and I couldn't help feeling sad."Cao laughs and forgives, and frequently persuades each other with wine.The public drunk, playing with his beard, said: "You can't repay the country in life, but you will betray your brother, you are just a human being!"Cao asked, "How many beards does Yun Chang have?"The public said: about a few hundred.About three or five roots are withdrawn every autumn month.Dongyue is mostly wrapped in soap gauze, fearing that it will be broken.Cao uses brocade as a bag to protect his beard with Guan Gong.The next day, I went to see the emperor early.When the emperor saw Guan Gong's brocade bag hanging on his chest, the emperor asked about it.Guan Gong said: "The minister's beard is quite long, and the prime minister gave him a bag to store it."The emperor's orders are spread in the hall, which is more than his belly.The emperor said: "The bearded man is really beautiful!"Therefore, everyone calls him the bearded man.

Suddenly one day, Cao invited Guan Gong to a banquet.When I was about to leave, I sent the public out of the mansion. Seeing that the stallion was thin, Cao said, "Why is the stallion so thin?"Guan Gong said: "The humble body is quite heavy, and the horse cannot carry it, so it is often thin."The order is to prepare a horse on the left and right.It will be brought to you in a moment.The horse's body is like burning coals, and its shape is very majestic.Cao pointed and said, "Do you know this horse?"The duke said: "Could it be that the red rabbit horse that Lu Bu rode?"Cao said, "That's right."Then he sent it to Guan Gong with the saddle and bridle.Guan Gong thanks again.Cao was displeased and said: "I am tired of giving beauties, gold and silk, and I have never bowed down. Now I give horses, but I am happy to worship again. Why do you mean people and value animals?"Guan Gong said: "I know that this horse travels thousands of miles every day. I am lucky to have it today. If I know my brother's whereabouts, I can meet him in one day."Cao was stunned and regretted.Guan Gong resigned.Later generations have poems sighing:

The heroes of the Three Kingdoms are powerful, and they live apart in a house with high loyalty.The traitor will treat him with vain courtesy, but Guan Yu will not surrender to Cao. Cao Cao asked Zhang Liao, "I treat Yun long and well, but he always cherishes his heart, why?"Liao said: Let someone explore his feelings.The next day, I went to see Guan Gong.After the ceremony, Liao said: "I recommend my brother to get along with the prime minister, and he has never fallen behind?"The duke said: "I am deeply impressed by the prime minister's kindness; but although I am here, I miss the emperor's uncle, but I don't think about it."Liao said: "My brother's words are wrong: there is no distinction in life, and you are not a husband."Xuande may not treat his brother more than a prime minister. Why does my brother only have ambitions?The duke said: "I know that Mr. Cao treats me very kindly; Naiwu has received the kindness of Uncle Liu Huangshu, and I swear to die together, and I can't bear it."I will never stay here.It must be effective in order to repay Cao Gong, and then go to the ear.Liao said: "If Xuande has passed away, where will the Duke go?"The duke said: I wish to obey the ground.The magistrate of Liao could not stay in the end, so he resigned and went back to see Cao Cao to tell the truth.Cao sighed and said: "The owner of the matter does not forget its origin, and he is a righteous man in the world!"Xun Yu said: "He said he would go if he made meritorious deeds, but if he didn't teach him to make meritorious deeds, he might not go."Fuck it.

But Xuande was in Yuan Shao's place, and he was troubled day and night.Shao said, "Why is Xuande always worried?"Xuande said: "The second brother doesn't know the sound consumption, and his wife and children are trapped by Cao's bandits. If you can't serve the country at the top, and can't protect the family at the bottom, don't you worry about security?"Shao said: "I have wanted to march to Xudu for a long time."Now that spring is warm, it is just time to raise troops.Then discuss the strategy of breaking Cao.Tian Feng remonstrated and said: "Xuzhou was attacked before, and Xudu was empty, so it is not as good as entering troops at this time; now Xuzhou has been broken, and the troops are sharp, so we should not underestimate the enemy."It's better to keep it for a long time, and then move it when there is a gap.Shao said: Wait for me to think about it.Because he asked Xuande: "Tian Feng persuaded me to stick to it, how about it?"Xuande said: "Cao Cao is a thief who deceived the emperor. If Duke Ming does not punish him, he may lose the righteousness of the world."Shao said: "Xuande's words are very good."So he wanted to raise troops.Tian Feng remonstrated again.Shao said angrily: "You have made me lose my righteousness by playing civil and military affairs lightly!"Tian Feng suddenly said: "If you don't listen to your minister's good advice, it will be bad for you to be a teacher."Shao was furious and wanted to kill him.Xuande persuaded him, but he was imprisoned in prison.When Jushou saw Tian Feng was imprisoned, he met his clan and scattered all his wealth. He said to him: "I will go with the army. If I win, I will be all-powerful. If I lose, I will lose everything!"Everyone sent it with tears.

Shao sent general Yan Liang as the vanguard to attack Baima.Ju Shou remonstrated: "Yan Liang is narrow in nature, although he is brave, he cannot be alone."Shao said: "My superior general is beyond your expectation."The army marched to Liyang, and Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun, rushed to Xuchang.Cao Cao urgently discussed raising troops to fight against the enemy.Guan Gong heard about it, so he went to the prime minister's mansion to see Cao Cao and said: "I heard that the prime minister raised troops, and I would like to be the front."Cao said, "I dare not bother the general."If you have something to do sooner or later, please come and invite me.Guan Gong is back.Cao led 150,000 troops and divided them into three teams.Yu Lu also contacted Liu Yan for emergency documents. Cao first mentioned that 50,000 troops would come to Baima in person and live by the earth mountain.Looking at the wilderness of Pingchuan in front of the mountain, Yan Liang's front has a hundred thousand elite soldiers, lined up in formation.Cao Cao was shocked, looking back at Lv Bu's former general Song Xian and said: "I heard that you are a fierce general under Lv Bu's subordinates, and now you can fight Yan Liang."Song Xian took the promise, mounted his horse with his gun, and went straight out of the battle.Yan Liang immediately put his sword on the banner of the gate; seeing Song Xian's horse coming, Liang gave a loud shout and galloped his horse to meet him.The battle is not three-in-one, and the sword is raised and lowered, beheading Song Xian in front of the battle.Cao Cao was shocked and said: "A true brave general!"Wei Xu said: "Kill my companion, and I would like to repay you!"Fuck it.Continue to mount the horse and hold the spear, and go out before the battle, cursing Yan Liang.Liang Geng didn't talk, he crossed over to the horse, cut Wei Xu under the horse with a knife on the head.Cao said: "Who dares to take it now?"Xu Huang came out in response, and fought Yan Liang for 20 rounds, and lost to the main formation.All the generals trembled.Cao Cao withdrew his army, and Liang also led his army back. Seeing two generals in a row, Cao felt depressed.Cheng Yu said: "One person can beat Yan Liang."Cao asked who it was.Yu said: It must be Guan Gong.Cao said, "I'm afraid that he will leave after he has made meritorious service."Yu said: "If Liu Bei is here, he will definitely vote for Yuan Shao; if Yun Chang is to defeat Yuan Shao's army, Shao will doubt Liu Bei and kill him."When Bei Yan dies, will Yun Chang be at ease again?Cao was overjoyed, so he sent someone to invite Guan Gong.Guan Gong said goodbye to his second sister-in-law.The second sister-in-law said: "Uncle is going now, you can inquire about the emperor's uncle." Guan Gong came out with the promise, raised the dragon knife, mounted the red rabbit horse, and led several followers until the white horse came to see Cao Cao.Cao Narrative said: "Yan Liang punished two generals in succession. He is too brave. I would like to ask Yun Chang to discuss it."Guan Gong said: Let someone watch it.Treat each other with wine.Suddenly Yan Liang was reported to fight, and Guan Gong was led to watch on the earth mountain.Cao sits with Guan Gong, and the generals stand around them.Cao Cao pointed to the formation of Yan Liang's platoon at the foot of the mountain, with a clear banner, densely clothed with spears and knives, orderly and majestic, so he said to Guan Gong: "The people and horses in Hebei are so majestic!"Guan Gong said: From my point of view, it is like a chicken with dog ears!Cao also pointed out: "Under the cover, the man with embroidered robes and gold armor, who holds a knife and stands on horseback, is Yan Liangye."Guan Gong raised his eyes and said to Cao Cao: "I look at Yan Liang as if you put a label and sell your ears!"Cao said: "Don't take it lightly."Guan Gong got up and said: "Although a certain person is not talented, he is willing to go to the army to take his head and present it to the prime minister."Zhang Liao said: "There is no joke in the army, and Yun Chang cannot be ignored."Guan Gong got on his horse furiously, held the dragon knife upside down, and ran down the mountain, with his phoenix eyes wide open and silkworm eyebrows straight, he rushed straight to the other side, and the Hebei army split like waves.Guan Gong went to Yanliang on his way.Yan Liang was under his command, when he saw Guan Gong rushing towards him, when Fang wanted to ask, Guan Gong's red rabbit horse was fast, and had already run in front of him; Yan Liang was caught off guard, and Yun Chang stabbed him under the horse with a knife.Suddenly dismounted, cut off Yan Liang's head, tied it under the collar of the horse, flew on the horse, raised the knife and went out of the battle, as if entering a land without people.The soldiers in Hebei were shocked, and they would be in chaos without a fight.Cao Jun took advantage of the momentum to attack, and the dead were innumerable; horses and equipment were plundered.Guan Gong rode up the mountain, and all the generals congratulated him.The public presents the head before the exercise.Cao said: "The general is really a god!"Guan Gong said: "What a shame!"My younger brother Zhang Yide took the head of a general out of a million troops, like searching for an ear.Frightened, he looked back to the left and right and said: If you encounter Zhang Yide in the future, don't underestimate the enemy.The order is written on the bottom of the robe to remember it. But Yan Liang's defeated army ran back, met Yuan Shao halfway, and reported that a brave general with a red face and long beard used a big sword, entered the battle on horseback, beheaded Yan Liang and left, so he was defeated.Shao Jing asked, "Who is this person?"Ju Shou said: "This must be Guan Yunchang, Liu Xuande's younger brother."Shao was furious, pointed at Xuande and said: "Your brother beheaded my beloved general, and you must conspire. What's the use of staying here!"Call the knife and axe to launch Xuande to chop it.It's exactly: I met Fang for the first time as a guest, and today I'm almost a prisoner of the same order.I don't know how Xuande's life is, let's listen to the breakdown below. ① Yurang's discussion on the national scholars Yurang, a man of the Warring States period.He once had such a comment: If the king treats me with the attitude of the people (ordinary people), I should repay him with the attitude of the people; he. ② Collect information from various sources.
