Chapter 27 Twenty-sixth Yuan Benchu's Defeated Army and General Guan Yunchang Hanging Seal and Sealing Gold

But he said that Yuan Shao wanted to kill Xuande.Xuande entered calmly and said: "Ming Gong only listens to one side's words, but never loves the sun?"Bei was separated from Xuzhou, and it is not known whether his second brother, Yun Chang, exists or not. There are many people with the same appearance in the world. How can a person with a red face and long beard be called Guan?Why didn't Duke Ming notice it?Yuan Shao was a man with no opinions. Hearing Xuande's words, he blamed Jushou and said: "I misunderstood your words and killed a good person."So Xuande was still invited to sit in the tent and report to Yan Liangzhi.A person in the tent responded and said: "Yan Liang and I are like brothers. Now that Cao thief has killed me, how can I not avenge my hatred?"Xuande regards him as: eight feet long, with a face like a Xiezhi, he is Wen Chou, a famous general in Hebei.Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said: "Without you, I couldn't repay Yan Liang's favor."I and one hundred thousand soldiers will cross the Yellow River and hunt down the Cao bandits!Ju Shou said: "No: it is the best policy to stay in Yanjin and divide the troops into Guandu."If you cross the river lightly, if there is a change, the people will not be able to return it.Shao said angrily: "It's all because you slow down the morale of the army and delay the sun and the moon, which will hinder major events!"Don't you hear that soldiers are expensive and fast?Ju Shou gave it out, sighed and said: "The upper end is full of ambition, and the lower end is dedicated to its merits; the Yellow River is long, and I will help it!"So he asked his illness not to discuss the matter.Xuande said: "I have received great kindness, but I can't repay it. I want to go with General Wen: one is to repay the virtue of the public, and the other is to test the truth of Yunchang."Shaoxi, call Wenchou and Xuande to lead the front together.Wen Chou said: Liu Xuande is a general who has been repeatedly defeated, which is not good for the army.When the master asked him to go, he divided up an army of 30,000 and taught him to be the rear.So Wen Chou led 70,000 troops to go first, and ordered Xuande to lead 30,000 troops to follow.

It is said that when Cao Cao saw that Yunchang beheaded Yan Liang, he respected him more and played a role in the imperial court.Suddenly it was reported that Yuan Shao sent General Wen Chou to cross the Yellow River, and he had occupied Yanjin.Cao Cao first sent people to emigrate to Xihe, and then he led his troops to meet them; he passed down an order: the rear army is the front army, and the front army is the rear army; food and grass go first, and the soldiers follow.Lu Qian said: "The food and grass come first, and the army comes later. What do you mean?"Cao said: "The grain and grass are at the back, and most of them are looted, so the order is at the front."Qian said: "If the enemy army robs us, what should we do?"Cao said: "Let's wait for the enemy to arrive, but then ignore it."Unresolved doubts about piety.Cao ordered the grain to be transported along the river to Yanjin.When he was in the rear army, he heard the shouts of the former army. When he was anxious to tell people to watch, he reported: "General Wen Chou of Hebei has arrived, and our army has abandoned food and grass and scattered in all directions."The rear army is far away, what will happen?Cao guided Fu with a whip and said: "This can be avoided temporarily."People and horses rushed to Tufu.Cao ordered the sergeants to take off their clothes and armor and rest for a while, and let their horses go.Wen Chou's army hides.The generals said: "The thief is here!"The horses can be collected urgently and returned to the white horse!Xun You stopped abruptly and said: "This is just a way to bait the enemy, so why retreat?"Cao anxiously looked at Xun You and smiled.You know what it means, so don't say anything.Wen Chou's army came to grab the horses after they got the food, grass and chariots.The sergeant does not follow the team and is confused among himself.However, Cao Cao ordered his generals to attack Tufu together, and Wen Chou's army was in chaos.Cao Bing surrounded the future, Wen Chou stood up and fought alone, and the soldiers trampled on each other.Wen Chouzhi couldn't hold back, so he had to turn his horse back.Cao pointed at Tufu and said: "Wen Chou is a famous general in Hebei, who can capture him?"Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and the flying horses came out together, shouting: "Wen Chou, let's go!"Wen Chou looked back and saw the two generals catching up, so he held down the iron spear, picked up his bow and set up an arrow, and shot straight at Zhang Liao.Xu Huang yelled: "The thief will stop shooting arrows!"Zhang Liao lowered his head to dodge, and shot his helmet with an arrow, knocking the hairpin tassel away.Liao tried his best to catch up again, sat down on his horse, and was shot in the cheek by Wen Chou again.The horse knelt down and Zhang Liao landed on the ground.When Wen Chou came back to his horse, Xu Huang rushed to stop the fight with a big axe.I saw the army and horses behind Wen Chou arriving together, but he was expected to be no match, so he pulled the horses back.Wen Chou came along the river.Suddenly, I saw more than ten horsemen, with their banners flying, and one of them came galloping with a knife in his head. It was Guan Yunchang, who shouted: "The thief will stop going!"Fighting horses with Wen Chou, the battle is not good, Wen Chou is timid, so he pulls the horse and walks around the river.Guan Gong rushed to catch up with Wen Chou, cut Wen Chou off his horse with a knife in the back of the head.When Cao Cao was on Tufu, he saw Guan Gong beheading Wen Chou, and drove people to cover up the killing.Most of the Hebei army fell into the water, but the food, grass and horses were still taken back by Cao Cao.

Yun Chang quoted numbers and rode eastward and westward.During the killing, Liu Xuande led 30,000 troops and then arrived.The sentry horse in front found out and reported to Xuan Deyun: This time it was the red-faced and long-bearded man who beheaded Wen Chou.Xuande rushed to look at it in a hurry. Across the river, he saw a group of people and horses flying back and forth. On the flag were written the seven characters of Hanshouting Hou Guan Yunchang.Xuande thanked heaven and earth secretly and said: So my brother is really at Cao Cao's place!Wanting to greet and meet each other, he was surrounded by Cao Bing's brigade, so he had to withdraw his troops and go back.Yuan Shao went to Guandu and set down the gate.Guo Tu and Shen Pei came to see Yuan Shao and said, "It was Guan who killed Wen Chou again this time, but Liu Bei pretended not to know."Yuan Shao was furious and scolded: "Big-eared thief!"How dare you do that!After a while, Xuande arrived, and Shao ordered to cut him off.Xuande said, "what's the crime?"Shao said: "That's why you made your brother corrupt one of my generals. How can you be innocent?"Xuande said: "Rong Shen died with a single word: Cao Cao has never been prepared, but now he knows that he is at the Duke of Ming's place, and he is afraid that he will help him, so the special envoy Yun Chang killed the two generals."Public knowledge must be angry.This is also to kill Liu Bei by the hand of the Duke: May the Duke of Ming think of it.Yuan Shao said: "Xuande's words are true."You have made me suffer from the name of a sage.After drinking the left and right, please Xuande sit in the account.Xuande thanked him and said: "Duke He Ming's magnanimous kindness cannot be repaid. If you want to order a confidant to go to see Yun Chang with a secret letter to let Liu Bei know the news, he will come in the starry night to assist Ming Gong and punish Cao Cao together in order to repay Yan Liang." , Wen Chou, how about it?Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said: "I have Yun Chang, ten times better than Yan Liang and Wen Chou."Xuande wrote a letter, but no one sent it.Shao Ling retreated to Wuyang, and the battalion stood still for dozens of miles.Cao made Xia Houdun lead the troops to guard the Guandu pass, and returned to Xudu with his own team, and had a feast for all the officials, congratulating Yunchang.Because it is said that Lu Qian said: In the past, I used food and grass in the former, which was a tactic to bait the enemy.But Xun Gongda knows my heart and ears.Everyone is amazed.During the banquet, it was reported that there were yellow scarves Liu Pi and Gong Du in Runan, and they were very rampant.Cao Hong was defeated after many battles, so he begged to send troops to rescue him.Yun Chang heard the words and said, "Guan is willing to do the work of dogs and horses to break the bandits in Runan."Cao said: "Yun Chang has made great achievements, but he has not been rewarded heavily. How can he return to work and march forward?"The duke said: Guan Mou will be sick if he is idle for a long time.I would like to go again.Cao Cao was so strong that he ordered 50,000 troops, and made Yu Jin and Le Jin his lieutenants, and they would go on the next day.Xun Yumi said to Cao Cao, "Yun Chang always has the heart to return to Liu. If he knows the news, he will go there. He can't be ordered to go out frequently."Cao said: "This time I have received the merit, I will not teach again to face the enemy."

Let's say that Yunchang led the army to approach Runan and set up camp.That night, two fine workers were brought from outside the camp.Yun Chang looked at it and recognized one person in it, which was Sun Qianye.Guan Gong scolded the left and right, and asked Gan, "Since the collapse, you have never been heard of. Why are you here now?"Gan said: "A certain person fled from disaster and was wandering in Runan. Fortunately, Liu Pi took him in."Why is the general at Cao Cao's place today?Is Weizhi Gan and Mrs. Mi all right?Guan Gongyin will explain the above matter in detail.Gan said: "I recently heard that Duke Xuande was at Yuan Shao's place. He wanted to vote for him, but he didn't find it convenient."Now Liu and Gong have surrendered to Yuan Shao and are assisting each other in attacking Cao.Fortunately, the general came here, and because he specially ordered the small army to lead the way, he taught someone to do a secret job and report to the general.In the future, when the two of them are defeated for a while, you can quickly lead the second wife to Yuan Shao to meet Xuande Gong.Guan Gong said: "Brother Xi is at Yuan Shao's place, and I will go there in the starry night."But I hate that I cut off the two generals of Shao, and I am afraid that things will change now.Gan said: "I should go to find out the truth first, and then report to the general."The duke said: "When I see my elder brother, I will not give up even if I die."Now when I return to Xuchang, I will resign from Cao Cao.That night, Sun Qian was sent secretly.The next day, Guan Gong led his troops out, and Gong Du put on his clothes.Guan Gong said: "Why do you turn your back on the imperial court?"Du said: You are a person who betrayed the master, why blame me?Guan Gong said: "Why should I betray the Lord?"Du said: "Liu Xuande was in Yuan Benchu's place, but you are from Cao Cao, why?"Guan Gong didn't even talk, he slapped his horse and danced his sword forward.Gong Du left, and Guan Gong caught up.They all turned around and told Guan Gong, "the Lord's kindness must not be forgotten."The public should move forward quickly, and I will let Runan.Guan Gong understood and drove the army to cover up the killing.Liu and Gong pretended to be defeated and dispersed in all directions.Yunchang won the prefecture and county, Anmin has been appointed, and the class teacher will return to Xuchang.Cao Cao went out of Guo to meet him and rewarded the sergeant.

After the banquet, Yun Chang went home and paid homage to his second sister-in-law outside the door.Mrs. Gan said: "Uncle has gone out to the army twice, do you know if the emperor's uncle is believed?"The public replied: "Not yet."When Guan Gong retired, the second wife cried bitterly inside the door and said, "Don't miss the emperor's uncle!"The second uncle was afraid that my sister would be troubled, so he kept silent.While weeping, there was an old soldier accompanying him, who could not stop crying, and said outside the door, "Madam, don't cry: the master is at Yuan Shao, Hebei."Madam said: How do you know it?Jun said: "Go out with General Guan, someone said it in the battle."Madam urgently called Yun Chang and said: "The emperor's uncle never failed you. Now that you have received Cao Cao's favor, you have forgotten the old righteousness. Why don't you tell me the truth?"Guan Gong paused and said: "Brother is indeed in Hebei today; those who dare not teach their sisters-in-law to know: I am afraid there will be leaks."Things must be done slowly, not haste.Mrs. Gan said: "Uncle should be tight."Retiring from business, pondering and planning, fidgeting.

It turned out that Yu Jin found out that Liu Bei was in Hebei and reported it to Cao Cao.Cao ordered Zhang Liao to investigate Guan Gongyi.Guan Gong sat down, and Zhang Liao came in to congratulate him and said: "I heard that my brother knew Xuande's news in the battle, and I am here to congratulate you."Guan Gong said: "Although the Lord is here, why do you like it if you haven't seen it?"Liao said: "How is the relationship between brother and Xuande compared to brother and brother?"The duke said: "Brother and I are friends; Xuande and I are friends and brothers, and brothers and ministers: how can we talk about it together?"Liao said: "Xuande is in Hebei today, will my brother go and follow?"Guan Gong said: Can you recite the words of the past?Wen Yuan must pay tribute to the prime minister for me.Zhang Liao told Cao Cao what Guan Gong had said.Cao said, "I have my own plan to keep it."

Let's say that while Guan Zheng was thinking about it, he suddenly reported that there was a visit from an old friend.And please come in, but don't know each other.Guan Gong asked, "Who is the Duke?"The answer was: A certain person is Chen Zhenye from Nanyang, Yuan Shao's subordinate.Guan Gong was shocked, and hurriedly retreated to the left and right, and asked, "Sir, you must do something when you come here?"Shock out the book and hand it over to Guan Gong.The public regards it as the book of Xuande.Its slightly cloud: Prepare and step, form an alliance from Taoyuan, and swear to die together; why is the middle way violated now, cut off grace and judge righteousness?You must want to gain fame and wealth, and you are willing to dedicate your head to complete the success!The book is not exhaustive, and death awaits!

After reading the book, Guan Gong cried and said: "I don't want to find my brother, but I don't know where I am."Is it possible for Anken to seek wealth and abandon the old alliance?Zhen said: "Xuande looks forward to the Duke very much. If you don't betray the old alliance, you should see him as soon as possible."Guan Gong said: In the world of life, those who have no end and beginning are not gentlemen.I understand when I come, and I have to understand when I go.I am writing a book now, and I annoyed my elder brother first, so I let a certain resignation from Cao Cao, and sent my second sister-in-law to meet.Zhen said: "If Cao Cao refuses, what can I do?"The duke said: I would rather die than stay here for a long time!Zhen said: "Respond quickly, so as not to cause Liu Shijun to be in suspense."Guan Gong wrote a book and answered:

I heard that righteousness does not disappoint one's heart, and loyalty is unwilling to die.Yu has been studying since he was a child, and he has a rough understanding of etiquette and righteousness. When he watched Yangjiaoai and Zuo Botao, he sighed three times and shed tears.Guarding Xiapi in front, there is no millet inside, no reinforcements outside; if you want to die, you have the weight of your second sister-in-law, and you dare not cut off your head and die, so you will be entrusted with it;Near Runan, Fang Zhixiong believed; he resigned from Cao Gong face to face, and sent his second sister-in-law back.Yu Dan has a different intention, and the gods and men kill together.It's hard to write a pen full of courage.There is a period of worship, and Fu Wei will take a lesson!

Chen Zhen got the book and returned it.Guan Gong went inside and told his second sister-in-law, and then went to the prime minister's mansion to pay his respects to Cao Cao.Knowing the intention of coming, he hangs the avoidance card on the door.Guan Gong returned in dismay, and ordered him to follow the people in the old days, pack up the chariots and horses, and serve him in the morning and evening; in the distribution house, all the things that were originally given are left behind, and nothing can be taken away.The next day, I went to the prime minister's house to say goodbye, and there was another avoidance sign on the door.Guan Gong went several times in a row, but he couldn't see him. Instead, he went to Zhang Liao's house to investigate, and wanted to talk about it, but Liao couldn't get out because of his illness.Guan Gongsi said: "This means that Prime Minister Cao will not allow me to go."I have made up my mind to go, how can I stay?Write a letter to thank Cao Cao.The book briefly says:

Shao Yu is the emperor's uncle, and he swears to live and die together;The former Xiapi fell, and the three things he asked for have been ennobled.Today, I find out that the old master is in Yuan Shao's army. Looking back on the old alliance, how can we allow it to be violated?Although the new kindness is thick, the old kindness is unforgettable.Zi Te wrote his farewell, and Fu Wei took care of him.He has more favors that have not been repaid, and he is willing to wait for the future. After writing, seal it up, and send someone to the prime minister's mansion to deliver it; on the one hand, the gold and silver that has been received many times are sealed in the warehouse one by one, and the Han Shouting Hou seal is hung on the hall, and the second wife is invited to get in the car.Guan Gong got on the red rabbit horse, carried the dragon knife in his hand, and led the former followers to serve as soldiers, escorted the chariots, and went out of the north gate.The gatekeepers blocked it.Guan Gong glared angrily and slashed his sword. He shouted loudly, and all the door officials backed away.When Guan Gong went out, he said to his followers: "You will escort the chariots first, but if there are pursuers, I will take care of them. Don't disturb the two wives."The follower pushes the cart and looks forward to the official road. But it is said that Cao Cao's discussion on Guan Gong is still undecided, and he reported to Guan Gong from left to right.After watching it, Cao Cao was shocked and said, "Yun Chang is gone!"Suddenly the north gate guard flew to report: Guan Gong has seized the gate and left. More than 20 people in chariots and saddle horses are all looking to go north.And the people in Guan Gong's house came to report: Guan Gong sealed all the gold and silver that he gave.Ten beauties live in another inner room.Its Han Shouting Hou Yin hangs on the hall.None of the servants assigned by the prime minister were taken away, only the original followers and luggage were taken out of the north gate.Everyone was stunned.One general stood up and said: "I would like to capture Guan X alive with three thousand cavalry and offer it to the prime minister!"It is the general Cai Yang who sees it.It's exactly: wanting to leave the ten thousand-foot dragon's lair, and encounter three thousand wolves and tiger soldiers.Cai Yang wants to catch up with Guan Gong, what is it after all, let's listen to the breakdown below. ① Indeed.
