The gurgling drizzle gradually turned into moderate rain.

In Jiangling City, many people complained about the sudden change of ghost weather.

Seeing that the dry season is coming, can it still rain?

Of course, more people realize that this is probably the last rain in the next four or five months, and the climate in Jiangling is so strange.

“——Get to get it,”

In front of the gate of Guan Mansion, with a horse's neighing, followed by a "da da" sound of horse hooves, the horse's strong hooves stepped on the rain, making a crisp sound.

Liu Pan was wearing a straw raincoat and was riding a horse and galloping in the rain.

It is not easy to rush to Changsha for 600 miles.

On the other hand, Guanfu Zhengtang is now...

Under the dark clouds, the oil lamp was warm and yellow, reflecting Guan Yu and Ma Liang's cheeks. After Liu Pan left, Zhou Cang's report continued.

——"According to the Malay newspaper, Xiangyang City has indeed sent troops,"

——"The vanguard was the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun, and the direction of galloping was the 'Sunset Valley' north of Jiangxia. There were three thousand infantry soldiers led by Niu Jin to respond. However, the two armies were far apart. According to the report of the horse exploration

At the time, I am afraid that this Cao army has reached Sunset Valley now."

After hearing Zhou Cang's report, Guan Yu stroked his long beard and sighed: "Niu Jin was just a farmer for Cao Ren's family in the past. How could he command the army? Haha, I am afraid that the name of the commander of the three thousand infantry was

Niu Jin, it’s really Cao Ren!”

Ma Liang nodded, "In recent years, Cao Ren first fought against Zhou Yu, the governor of the Eastern Wu, and then played against Guan Gong, but he became much more cautious, but... this was useless. The fourth young master still guessed it. This old man

The turtle was finally cheated out!”

The topic shifted to Guan Lin and the "old turtle" Cao Ren.

Guan Yu's hand stroking his beard ended abruptly.

He sighed: "Guan and Cao Ren are considered old opponents. When Zhuge's military advisor left Jingzhou, he repeatedly mentioned that Cao Ren was the most outstanding military general in Cao's army."

Hearing this, Ma Liang also sighed: "It's General of Heaven."

In the words, Ma Liang seemed to have no doubt about his "high-profile" title.

It’s not for Guan Yu and Ma Liang to boast about Cao Ren so much…

In fact, Cao Ren is more than just the best record among Cao Wei?

Looking at the entire Three Kingdoms, his record is also second to none.

According to historical records of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Ren participated in 19 victories in 22 battles, and eleven of them were led by troops alone.

In the first battle, when attacking Xuzhou, he would not attack Tao Qian's general Lu You;

In the second game, when he was attacking Xuzhou, he led the cavalry to defeat Tao Qian's reinforcements;

In the third game, stop attacking Lu Bu's "Juyang" and capture his general Liu He alive;

In the fourth scene, don’t attack Zhang Xiu’s “election” and capture 3,000 people;

In the fifth game, in the Battle of Guandu, Liu Bei attacked Xuchang, Cao Ren rescued and defeated Liu Bei;

In the sixth game, defeated Yuan Shao's general Han Xun in Jiluo Mountain;

In the seventh game, the generals were in charge of Tongguan and blocked the rebels of Xiliang for a year;

In the eighth scene, the seventh army was supervised to eliminate the rebel Su Bo and others;

In the ninth scene, he led his troops to wipe out the rebel Hou Yin in Wancheng;

In the tenth battle, the battle of Xiangfan, defend Xiangfan!

The eleventh scene was to eliminate the rebellion of the rebel Zheng Gan.

In the eleventh mile, he defeated Tao Qian twice, Lu Bu once, Zhang Xiu once, Liu Bei once, Yuan Shao once, he attacked the bandits three times, defended against Xiliang rebels once, and defended against Guan Yu once.

This record is among the records of all the generals of the Three Kingdoms, but the one who deserves the best!

Among these eleven, two defensive battles were attacking battles, and nine out of them accounted for 80%. Undoubtedly... Cao Ren is better at attacking battles.

This creates a misunderstanding.

Many people in later generations thought that Cao Ren could only defend and was a defensive master, which was one-sided.

And the reason why he became a turtle when facing Guan Yu, he became a turtle when defending Xiangfan.

It's not because of anything else, it's just because Cao Ren was completely defeated by Guan Yu.

...He realized that in terms of attack, he, as a "general of heaven and man", was definitely not a match for Guan Yu.

Judging the situation!

This is also the core reason why Cao Ren was able to gain Cao Cao's trust and became the president of Cao Wei's southern garrison in Xiangfan.

His abilities are too balanced, whether in terms of force, rule, intelligence, politics, or charm, he is too balanced.

The reason why I threw Jiangling in those days...

It is because during the Battle of Nanjun, Cao Ren faced Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Han Dang, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, and even Zhang Fei in the Sun and Liu Alliance.

It is equivalent to the all-star lineup of Wu and Shu!

The pressure is no less than that of the Wei and Wu Quan star lineup that Guan Yu faced after the "Flooding of the Seven Armies".

Even so, after losing Nanjun, Cao Cao still praised Cao Ren:

——The defeat was so beautiful that he lost to Zhou Yu, but Nanjun left it to Liu Bei.

This also shows Cao Ren's mind.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is a "hexagonal warrior" of Cao Wei.

And an all-around commander like him is the most difficult to deal with and the most difficult to fall into the trap.

Not to mention leading him into a trap.

Guan Yu has a deep understanding of this.

After several years of confrontation, Cao Renshou in Xiangfan was very strict and did not give him Guan Yu any chance.

But this time, he fell into a trap!

What I came in was not Guan Yu's plan, but Guan Yunqi's plan.

This inevitably made Guan Yu sigh in his heart.

"As Ji Chang said, Yunqi is really shameful to Guan!"

"Guan Gong, you can't say that." Seeing Guan Yu's mood, Ma Liang hurriedly told: "If Guan Gong hadn't sat firmly in Jiangling City, how could Cao Ren be trapped?"

"After all, this Cao Wei 's 'Heavenly General' was too afraid of Guan Gong, so he was very cautious when facing Guan Gong and never made mistakes. But this time he faced some merchants, and he was inevitably careless and was beaten by the fourth son.

The plan is to let the tiger and leopard cavalry leave the city.”

"Haha..." Guan Yu smiled and said, "Although Guan doesn't like Yunqi's temperament, he doesn't like him always speaking without restraint and contradicting Guan, but the credit is the credit and no one can take it away. This time, if the tiger leopard is the tiger and leopard,

If you enter the Sunset Valley, Tanzhi and Guoan, Weizhi's ambush will surely win a complete victory!"

"If this move can severely damage the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, it will relieve Guan's great trouble. If Guan is forced back Cao Cao from Hanzhong, he will be more confident!"

Speaking of this, Guan Yu stroked off his beard again, and he suddenly thought of Guan Lin's "bet".

The bet that the Guan family army was rubbing on the ground could not help but shake his head and sighed: "This time, this kid really competed with the Guan family army!"

Obviously, Ma Liang also realized that what Guan Yu was talking about was the bet.

"Haha..." He laughed and said, "Where did Guan Gong mention this? It was Yunqi's "Huang Laoxie" who made the plan, but Guan Gong's three young men and Guan family army were the ones who contributed their efforts! The fourth young men's one

Qianmenqu, but the troops remain unmoved!"

"Zi Fang (Mi Fang) has not handed over the army to Yunqi, how can he move?" Rarely, Guan Yu was actually explaining for Guan Lin. "What's more, this army has no weapons and armor? Yunqi doesn't ask for it.

What else can he do? But..."

Guan Yu's eyes became deeper. He paused for a moment and continued, "But this doesn't prove this kid's..."

At the end, Guan Yu's words came to an abrupt end...

For a moment, he could not help but think of Guan Lin's passionate words under the "Victory Bridge".

Those words seemed to be misty in Guan Yu's ears at this moment.

——"Tell me, is it easy to be my father's son? My father denies my military talent because I am weak and sick and do not know martial arts. He wants to keep me away from the cruelest battlefield... and do not give me soldiers.

, and I didn't give me the military rank, so I treated me as a "salted fish"! Actually, I understand that he is for my own good, but..."

——"I am a man, Guan Lin is also a man. I know that my father and uncle raised the banner of "the thief is incompatible". How can I be like this turtle with my head? How can I be like this turtle without any care?

, a salted fish who is content with the status quo? In this case, am I still a Chinese man?"

——"Grand man, my father's son, if I can't gallop across the battlefield, I, Guan Lin, want to dig a hole and bury myself!"

Every word and every sentence echoes in Guan Yu's ears at this moment, making his mood thrill!
