When His Highness heard this, everyone looked at each other, and they didn't dare to ask for battle.

The shadow of the famous tree, Yu Ban still feels invincible in the face of Guan Yu, and needs help, they are not as good as Yu Ban, and they dare not ask for battle.

"General, the last general is willing to go!"

Seeing that no one asked for battle, a general at the end of His Highness came out.

I saw that he was eight feet tall, about fifty years old, and had a strand of white hair on his temples, but there was not the slightest fear in his eyes.

It's just that Sima Yi looked at this military general but was a little embarrassed, because he didn't recognize this person.

When Xiahou saw this person, he was overjoyed and said: "I forgot about you, if Yan Yan is out of the horse, he will be able to defeat Guan Yu!" ”

"Oh?" Sima Yi heard Yan Yan's name, but he still couldn't find any information, but when he saw that Xiahoudun was so sure, he smiled and said: "Okay, General Yan Yan is really a warrior, so you will follow General Yu Ban on the expedition." ”

"No!" Yu Ban didn't know Yan Yan either, but the generals in the palace didn't dare to help him, so Yu Ban had no choice but to accept his fate.

Seeing that Yu Ban was a little unconfident, Sima Yi said with a smile: "General Yu Ban, after arriving in Wancheng, you don't have to compete with Guan Yu, you just need to drag Guan Yu down." ”

"No!" Yu Ban gave up his hand, took Yan Yan to retreat, and went to reorganize the soldiers and horses to prepare for the battle.

After everyone left, Sima Yi asked Xiahoudun: "General Xiahou, who is this Yan Yan, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

"Haha!" Xiahoudun laughed and said: "It's normal for the general not to recognize this person, this person's original name was Yan Xing, and later changed his name to Yan Yan!" ”

When Sima Yi heard this, he immediately reacted: "Could it be Yan Xing, the general under Han Sui's command back then?" ”

Xiahoudun nodded and said: "Yes, this person is the number one general under Han Sui, who can defeat Ma Chao, and later the King of Wei defeated Han Sui and got Yan Xing, but Yan Xing has not been reused, and has been living in seclusion, and no one knows." This time, Jingzhou was in dire need of manpower, so I transferred him to listen to it. ”

Sima Yi stroked his beard and said, "With this Yan Xing following Yu Ban on the expedition, I am relieved." ”

Guan Yu attacked Fancheng on this side, and Wancheng Yu Ban led his troops south to rescue.

On the other side, Xu Huang had already led his troops to Shangyong.

20,000 soldiers and horses set up camp outside Shangyong City, and when the camp was built, it was already night.

Xu Huang sat in the big tent of the Chinese army and said to a scout: "You said that the gate of Shangyong City was closed during this time, and the spies in the city could not be contacted?" ”

The scout arched his hand and said: "I came a few days ago to contact the spies in the city, but these days the gate of Yongcheng is closed and has not been opened, and I have also visited several strongholds, and there is no news left there. ”

Xu Huang frowned slightly: "Could it be that Liu Feng knows some news?" ”

When Xiahou Shang heard this, he said: "Regardless of why his gate is closed, can't he just lead his troops to attack directly?" ”

"No way!" Xu Huang waved his hand and said: "Shangyong City is strong, if we want to attack it, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties, even if we take Shangyong, we will not be able to enter Hanzhong." It's best to be able to contact the city's small work. ”

At this moment, a soldier came in and reported: "General, there is a letter from one of the people in the city!" ”

"Let him in!" Xu Huang hurriedly said.

"The villain has seen the general!" After a while, a soldier dressed as a Shu county entered the camp.

"Who are you?" The scout looked at it, and saw that he was not arranged to work in the city, and couldn't help asking.

"I'm a soldier of the Shen family!" The soldier arched his hand.

"Oh?" Xu Huang raised his eyebrows, looked at the soldiers, and said, "Your Shen family promised to return to the King of Wei, what is the situation in the city now, why is the gate closed?" ”

"It's because Liu Chan is here!" The soldier arched his hand.

"Liu Chan? Liu Bei's son? Xu Huang was surprised.

"Not bad!" The soldier nodded and said: "Liu Chan and Guan Yu's daughter Guan Feng have already made a marriage, Jiangdong Sun Quan didn't know about it, and asked Guan Yu for marriage, Guan Yu was furious, and later Guan Feng went to Yizhou to tell Liu Chan about it, and Liu Chan went to Jingzhou to visit Guan Yu. ”

"Nonsense!" Xu Huang patted the table and said: "If Liu Chan goes to Jingzhou, he can go down the river, why do you need to take a detour to Hanzhong?" ”

The soldier hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "This matter is true, it is said that the dragon of Jiameng Pass turned over and destroyed the grain road, Liu Chan went to inspect, and when he got the news, he was in Jiameng Pass, so he did not go to the east, but came directly to Shangyong." ”

Xu Huang frowned, still skeptical of what the soldier said.

Xiahou Shang on the side asked, "Then why is the gate of Shangyong City closed now?" ”

"Hey!" The soldier sighed and said: "This matter is a long story, that Meng Da refused to submit to the King of Wei, hesitated, it happened that Liu Chan came to Shangyong again, after you knew about it in the city, you pretended to be Meng Da's people to assassinate Liu Chan and forced Meng Da to rebel."

Na Cheng thought that Liu Chan's two guards were quite powerful, and the matter failed, and the city was searching for assassins these days, so the gate was closed. ”

Xu Huang asked, "What about our army spies?" ”

"Scattered in the city, now most of them have been searched, and the rest have been hiding, a few days ago I learned that the general led the troops to come, and the head of the family took the opportunity to donate some soldiers and horses to occupy a piece of the city, so I had the opportunity to come and report to the general."

"Hmm!" Xu Huang nodded and asked, "Do you have any news for your family master to pass on to me?" ”

The soldier arched his hand and said, "The head of the family said that it was all on the orders of the general!" ”

"Oh?" Xu Huang groaned: "How many people are in your family? How many of your men are in the city? ”

"The family has 3,000 soldiers and horses, and there are only 500 people in the city."

Xu Huang asked, "Can you open the city gate?" ”

The soldier was puzzled: "This ...... The city gate is not controlled by my family's soldiers and horses, so I need to go back and report to the master. ”

Xu Huang nodded and said, "That's okay, you go back and tell your family master first, and let him find a way to open the city gate and welcome my army to the city." Come on, look at the reward! ”

"Thank you, General, thank you, General!!" The soldier showed a greedy look, accepted Xu Huang's reward, retreated, and secretly returned to the city.

After the soldiers left, Xiahou Shang said to Xu Huang: "General, is what this person said credible?" ”

"Not believable!" Xu Huang shook his head and said: "According to reason, if our army scouts really assassinate Liu Chan and blame Meng Da to force Meng Da to rebel, they should also send someone out first, even if it doesn't work out, they can contact us."

However, now no one has escaped, although it is said that the Shen family has surrendered to the king of Wei, but I can't believe them. ”

Xiahou Shang groaned: "Then if the Shen family opens the city, shall we kill it?" ”

"No hurry!" Xu Huang waved his hand and said: "The Shen family only has five hundred people in the city, where is it so easy to open the city, if they have a plan, there will definitely be a reply soon."

If the Shen family is sincere in serving the King of Wei, they will definitely not act lightly, and they will send someone to contact them. ”
