Chapter 1686: Said Longzhong Shen Long Persuaded Guan Gong
"I once heard that Mr. Kong Ming once said, 'If there are thorns and benefits across the river, protect the rocks, harmonize the Rong in the west, caress the barbarians in the south, make good friends with Sun Quan on the outside, and cultivate political principles inside; if the world changes, one will be ordered. The general led Jingzhou's army to Xiangwan and Luo, and the general led the people of Yizhou to come out of Qinchuan. How dare the people not eat the pot of milk to meet the general'? The general attacked Fancheng this time, just like Mr. Kong Ming. The way to advance." Shen Long knew that Guan Yunchang was always proud, so he praised him first.
Guan Yu stroked his long beard lightly and nodded slightly, "Now that Pang De is dead and Yu Jin has surrendered; there are only thousands of soldiers and horses left in Fancheng, cut off from inside and outside, and taking Fancheng will only happen overnight; if Fancheng has fallen, our army can go straight Pointing to Xu Du, it is hopeful to save His Majesty and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty in this way."
"However, what Mr. Kong Ming said in the past is that you can go north from Jingzhou only if you have a good relationship with Sun Quan. Dare I ask you, have you ever married Sun Quan?" Shen Long asked, "If the monarch leads the army to the north, what should Sun Quan do if he sneaks into Jingzhou? What's more, Cao Ren is also a good general. If he can't hold on to it, can the prince have a good strategy? At that time, the prince's retreat will be cut off, and he will be unable to advance or retreat!"
Previously, Sun Quan had sent Zhuge Jin to Jingzhou to ask Guan Yu's daughter for his son's marriage. According to Sun Quan's idea, the marriage was successful and they discussed breaking Cao. If Guan Yu refused, he would help Cao Cao take Jingzhou; In the name of the dog, Zhuge Jin was blasted out of the house; Sun Quan was furious and planned to attack Jingzhou.
After Zhuge Liang heard the news, he sent Fei Shi to send Guan Gao and Guan Yu to order his advanced troops to attack Fancheng, making the enemy's army terrified, and the offensive naturally collapsed; Zhuge Liang's intention was not to let Guan Yu take down Fancheng and go straight to Xudu, because Liu Bei is now One side does not yet have the strength to completely defeat Cao Cao, and rashly rushing forward with light troops will definitely fail. He just wants Guan Yu to take the initiative to attack and defuse Sun Quan's offensive.
Guan Yu was silent for a moment when he heard the words, "What a mere Fancheng!" He had just defeated Yu Jin and Pang De, captured tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and was at the peak of his life. In his eyes, as for the rejection of Sun Quan's marriage proposal, he didn't even bother to explain.
Regarding Guan Yu's refusal of Sun Quan's marriage proposal, Shen Long actually understood quite well. Guan Yu was in charge of Jingzhou soldiers and horses alone. Although he and Liu Bei were sworn brothers, he still had to avoid taboos. If he and Sun Quan became in-laws , For example, there will be a gap in the relationship with Shuzhong. After all, Jingzhou is too close to Soochow and too far from Chengdu.
Secondly, Guan Yu was not from a gentry family. He hadn't learned the way of a big gentry family to use his own children as bargaining chips, so he was reluctant to send his daughter into the tiger's mouth.
Shen Long also understood this, and he asked again, "Now that the princes have captured tens of thousands of Cao soldiers, how should these soldiers be supplied with food and grass?" It was abundant, but it also caused Cao Jun's food and grass to be destroyed by the flood, and it is almost out of food now.
"Sun Quan has grain and grass in Xiangguan, I can take it!" Guan Yu replied, it must be too late for Jingzhou to send grain and grass, so he set his sights on Sun Quan's territory.
"If this is the case, then Sun Quan will definitely attack Jingzhou!" Shen Long spread his hands and said, you just rejected his marriage proposal earlier, and now you are going to grab food from his territory, how can Sun Quan bear it?
And the most important thing is that Sun Quan, as the weakest side of the Three Kingdoms, has always been an opponent who is strong and will help. Cao Cao's offensive is fast, so he will help Liu Bei beat Cao Cao; if Liu Bei beats Cao Cao to nothing, he will definitely Choose to help Cao Cao, so that the two forces can form a stalemate, and until they completely decide the outcome, Sun Quan is absolutely safe.
Moreover, Jingzhou was originally Sun Quan's territory. When Liu Bei led his army into Sichuan, Sun Quan had attacked Jingzhou, so even without these two things, Sun Quan would still attack Jingzhou.
"Now Sun Quan may go north to attack Xuzhou,
Perhaps we can sneak attack Jingzhou; there are not many defenders in Xuzhou, and we can go from Keke, but its terrain is good for land warfare, not good for water warfare. " Shen Long continued to analyze.
Without waiting for Guan Yu to refute, Shen Long continued, "I know that the Lord has heavy troops stationed in Jingzhou to guard against Sun Quan, but Lu Ziming is cunning and will definitely cheat and delay his resignation; after counting Soochow, Lu Su and Zhou Yu are dead. The only one to worry about is Lu Ziming; if it is heard that Lu Ziming has retired from illness, and a child with a yellow mouth like Lu Boyan is guarding Lukou, the lord will definitely send troops from Jingzhou to attack Fancheng."
Lu Xun is only in his thirties this year, five years younger than Guan Ping. When he was born, Guan Yu had already swept the Yellow Turban Army with Liu Bei, and he had no outstanding record before. It is normal for Guan Yu to look down on him.
"If Lu Ziming makes a sudden attack, how can Jingzhou stop it?" Shen Long said ahead of time that Lu Meng's plan to cross the river in white and attack Jingzhou.
"This is nothing more than my one-sided opinion." Although Guan Yu still had doubts, he still refused to believe it. After all, he was always arrogant, Shen Long was young, and it was the first time we met, how could Guan Yu trust him? Even if it was Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu completely convinced Cao Cao after Hua Rongdao let him go.
Shen Long also knew this, so after being rejected by Guan Yu, he was not disappointed, and he didn't continue to talk about it. He had already said what should be said, and continuing to talk would only be counterproductive.
At this moment, Hua Tuo reminded, "Your Majesty, your injury is healed now, you only need to rest for a few days."
Guan Yu got up and stretched his arm, then laughed and said, "This arm is as comfortable as before, and there is no pain. Sir, you are a genius doctor!" In fact, the pain must still be painful after the operation, but the numbness after poisoning is gone. , Guan Yu naturally felt a lot more comfortable, and at the same time said this to stabilize the morale of the army.
"Hua doesn't dare to take the credit. If it wasn't for Zifeng's help, he definitely wouldn't have recovered so quickly!" Hua Tuo said, stroking his beard lightly, and he was also very satisfied with the surgery.
Then he reminded, "Now that the remaining poison has not been completely eliminated, Junhou still has to take the medicine according to the prescription given by Zifeng; don't get angry and hurt the touch, after a month and a half, you will be as normal as before."
It turned out that after a hundred days, it could be restored to its original state, but now it has become one and a half months, saving more than half of the time, all thanks to Shen Long.
Guan Yu rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold, and Hua Tuo said, "I heard that the emperor is Gao Yi, and he came here to treat him. How can I expect retribution!" He refused to accept it, and left.
After sending Hua Tuo away, Guan Yu asked Shen Long again, "According to what my son said, Zifeng came to join the army? Now the army is in need of talents like Zifeng."
