Chapter 172 - The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!(1/3)

Two nights ago.

What Guan Yu read at night was from a chapter in "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Bing Liu" - "Profess to attack the east, but actually attack the west."

This echoes the saying in "Huainanzi·Bing Jie Xun" that "when generals desire the west, show them east".

Last night, Guan Yu read an article from "The Art of War: Nine Places" by Sun Tzu - "The beginning is like a virgin, the enemy opens an account; the end is like a rabbit in flight, the enemy cannot resist."

Guan Yu also told Guan Yinping this article quite eloquently, so that she could endure loneliness, be as quiet as a virgin, and move as fast as a rabbit.

Tonight, what Guan Yu read was from "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, "Show it with movement, make it quiet and have the initiative, and move it to make it powerful!"

To put it simply, it is to secretly assassinate Chen Cang, to make false claims in the east and attack in the west...

Confuse the enemy by showing illusions, sneak in behind the scenes, and attack suddenly!

Speaking of which, Guan Yu didn't read "Spring and Autumn" for three days because of that brat Guan Lin. However, during these three days of reading "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, he did gain many new insights.

but…

That only exists in theoretical understanding.

But God seems to hope that Guan Yu can quickly complete the "integration of theory and practice".

This urgent letter from Liao Hua and those few words from Guan Lin.

This directly elevates this theory to the level of practice.

——"The thieves will hire Wen, and they will definitely use surprise troops to attack Fuhu Mountain at night and burn the warships. If the warships are destroyed, wait until the water rises? What can the Guan family's army do? Isn't my father the laughing stock of Xiangfan!"

These words fit Guan Lin's tone very well...

As always, "No one is beaten, no kid", as always, "Domineering and arrogant"!

But...

Combined with these words and reading "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu for three consecutive days, Guan Yu suddenly understood.

——Show it to move, help it to be still and have the initiative, which will help it to move and become a sundae!

Yesterday's battle in Jingjiang, what if Wenpin faked his defeat?

His purpose was just to show the enemy that he was weak, to show an illusion to confuse Guan Yu, and to focus Guan Yu's attention on the Miangkou camp, so that he could sneak in behind his back and launch a surprise attack!

——Still as a virgin, as active as a rabbit.

This is Xiangfan, either he won't move, or... he will bite into Guan Yu's weak spot.

——It claims to attack the east, but actually attacks the west.

This one is even more ironic.

Haha... Guan Yu just haha.

How about luring the snake out of its hole? Damn it, all the civil servants will use their tricks... It seems that he is attacking the family's military stronghold and seizing the serial crossbows and other ordnance, but in fact, he is doing it for those warships.

call…

Thinking of this, Guan Yu took a long breath and felt extremely nervous.

Outside the account, Chinese officers were counting troops.

Because it was a rapid march, it could only be cavalry.

However, there are only a few thousand cavalry in the Guan army that can be assembled quickly.

At this moment, Guan Yu's state of mind was already in turmoil.

This Wenpin, and Yun Qi, the two of them...are they probably going to give Guan Yu another vivid military practice lesson in "Sun Tzu's Art of War"?

It's a good thing to make a sound in the east and attack in the west;

A good one is trying to cover up;

What a man who builds the plank road openly and spends time in the old warehouse secretly.

If it hadn't been for this letter from Yun Qi, the boat would have almost capsized in the gutter.

"Father..." Guan Yinping also roughly knew what happened. It was his fourth brother who suggested that Wenpin would attack the warship at night, so... he asked his father to rescue him.

But...not to mention whether Yun Qi's judgment is accurate.

Taking a step back, if... Yun Qi is right, then if Xiangfan sends troops to kill Fuhu Mountain, does that mean that Xiangfan City is empty?

Therefore, Guan Yinping boldly suggested, "Father, my daughter thinks...if we can be sure that the thief General Wenpin will lead the Xiangfan people to Fuhu Mountain to burn the boats, why doesn't the father just take Xiangfan? Isn't this an opportunity?"

Guan Yinping's words made Guan Yu suddenly turn his head, his eyes opened and closed, and he looked straight at Guan Yinping.

His sharp eyes kept shining, as if he was Guan Gong at this moment, he had seen through everything.

It should be noted that Guan Yu's military talent was outstanding and unrivaled;

His learning ability is also extraordinary.

In terms of character, his only weakness is pride!

In military terms, his only shortcoming is that he easily gets into trouble.

Now, Guan Lin's words successfully pulled him out of the corner. For Guan Yu, his whole horizon suddenly broadened, and he seemed to understand everything.

"Yin Ping, I'm afraid I have forgotten Cao Cao's surprise attack on Wuchao during the Battle of Guandu!"

"At that time, Yuan Shao listened to his adviser Guo Tu's suggestion and gave up rescuing Wuchao. Instead, he sent his main army to attack Guandu. However, he was ambushed in Guandu. Wuchao's food and grass were destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of troops were forced to surrender. In the end,

It led to the great defeat in the Battle of Guandu! It led to the collapse of the Yuan family’s great foundation within a few years!”

"Isn't the Wenpin of today the Cao Cao of those days?"

this…

Guan Yinping's heart skipped a beat when she heard her father's words, although her father did not answer her directly.

But...she understood immediately.

If during the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao had given priority to rescuing Wuchao instead of attacking Guandu in a hurry for quick success, then maybe... that battle, then maybe the situation in the north would have been completely changed.

actually…

Guan Yinping still overlooked one point.

That was during the Battle of Guandu, Wuchao was attacked...the news came too suddenly.

In such a short period of time, to make the most accurate judgment and respond calmly, the forward-looking requirements for the coach's leadership ability and judgment of the situation are too high, and the error tolerance rate is too low.

And now Guan Yu, because of a letter from Guan Lin.

He predicted Wenpin's actions in advance.

This was completely different from the bad news we received after the warship was burned.

He has enough time to think and judge.

Undoubtedly... because of Guan Lin's existence, the fault tolerance rates of Guan Yu today and Yuan Shao back then are not at the same level at all!

Of course, their command and judgment of the situation are not on the same level.

At this moment, Guan Yu's eyes became more determined.

The Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand glowed with an "awe-inspiring" murderous aura, illuminated by countless torches.

"——Definitely!"

As the red rabbit horse neighed, some personal guards had already brought the red rabbit horse over.

Guan Yu got on his horse...

Guan Yinping quickly asked: "Can father take his daughter with him?"

She deeply felt that the current situation was imminent, and Guan Yinping wished she could help her father more.

"Yin screen, my father has to give you a more important task."

Guan Yu's tone was meticulous.

Guan Yinping bit her lip slightly.

Guan Yu's words came one after another: "You immediately rush to the other two camps and tell the ambushing Tanzhi, Anguo, and Weizhi that no matter what news you hear tonight, even if your father-in-law is trapped in a tight siege and narrowly escapes death,

You must not move without permission, let alone rush to help!"

When these words came out, Guan Yinping was shocked at first, but soon...she seemed to have figured it out in an instant, and understood it all at once.

At this moment, Guan Yu had already waved his riding whip.

The sound of "ta-ta-ta" horse hoofs sounded, and along with the sonorous hoofs, the red rabbit horse took the lead, and all the Guan family troops followed their general.

For a time, more than a thousand cavalrymen were like ghosts under the night... galloping towards the south!

——Kill to Fuhu Mountain!

——Kill to where the warship is.

At this moment…

What came to Guan Yu's mind inexplicably was his son Yun Qi's words.
To be continued...
