Pound Dou Guan Yu
It is said that Guan Yu captured Xiangyang, and did not rest, but just hastily and routinely performed the work of rewarding the army and caring for the people, and Guan Yu asked Guan Ping to prepare boats to cross the river and attack Fancheng.
In the Battle of Xiangyang, Cao Ren lost his troops and retreated to Fancheng, but Guan Yu crossed the Xiang River, pursued him relentlessly, and attacked Fancheng non-stop. Cao's troops were defeated, the infantry and cavalry were more than half damaged, and the remnants of the army had to retreat into Fancheng city to wait for help, and Cao Ren sent people to Chang'an at night and wrote to Cao Cao to inform the military. Cao Cao ordered Yu Ban to lead the army to the aid of the commander- and ordered Pound to take the lead for the vanguard.
Yu Ban didn't say anything, and he was definitely not Guan Yu's opponent. But this Pound is no more than the average general. Pound was originally Ma Teng's subordinate, with Ma Teng's conquests and many military achievements, he was a well-known hero of the three armies, after Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong, Pound De joined the Cao Wei clique. In this battle, he was the vanguard and was definitely a fierce enemy of Guan Yu. When Pound was the Savior, Wei Yan was defeated and became his defeated general. "Therefore, Pound is becoming more and more arrogant, and some of them have no one in sight.
After Yu Ban and Pound De led his troops on the expedition, Cao Cao was somewhat uneasy about Pound, and he was afraid that he would be a light enemy, so he sent a message to warn Pound: "Guan Yu is wise and courageous, and must not be lightly enemy." What is desirable is advisable, and what is not advisable should be adhered to. ”
Pound received his will and said to the generals, "Why does the King value Guan Yu so much?" I don't believe how capable Guan Yu is, and this time I must beat him down and frustrate his reputation for thirty years. Yu Ban then said to Pound, "You must listen to the words of the King of Wei." Pound rushed to Fancheng with an entire army, flaunting his might all the way, and singing gold drums was not mighty.
Guan Ping vs. Pound
Pound was very brash along the way, he let people carry a wooden coffin, threatened to fight Guan Yu to the death, and swung wildly, shouting forward. Guan Yu listened to Ma Fei's report and heard that Pound was so arrogant, and he was immediately furious. He said to the generals: "When the hero of today, as long as he hears the name of guan Yu, he will lose three points without a fight." What is Pound's? How dare they despise Buddha-figures! So Guan Yu said to Guan Ping, "You continue to attack Fancheng here, and I went to behead this pifu who didn't know the height of the sky, and I hated it in my heart with snow!" Guan Ping said: "Why do you need your father to go personally, a little Pound I went to settle him." Guan Yu said, "Okay! You go first, I'll go later, depending on how capable Pound really is. "
Guan Ping came out of the tent, raised his knife on the horse, led a brigade to meet Pound, the two fronts were opposite, Guan Ping came to the front of the line, and saw the four eye-catching white characters of "Nan'an Pound" on the soap-colored banner of Wei Ying.
Pound's green robes and silver armor, steel swords and white horses stood proudly in front of the battle; 500 soldiers followed close behind, and several infantrymen carried a wooden coffin out. Guan Ping scolded Pound: "The thief who betrays the Lord...!" Pound asked the sergeant next to him, only to learn that the person who cursed was Guan Yu Yoshiko. He said loudly to Guan Ping, "I have come to take the orders of your father and son at the behest of Wei Zhi, and I will not kill you first!" Go and call your father! Guan Ping was furious, and didn't say much more, and took Pound directly with his sword. Pound crossed the knife to greet each other. Thirty rounds were not won or lost. Each had to take a break from their troops.
Guan Yu will fight Pound, and the big knife is inseparable from the big knife
Guan Yu received the news, knowing that Pound Did have two shots, afraid that Guan Ping would not be able to defeat him, so he ordered Liao Hua to attack FanCheng, went to meet Pound himself, came to the front to see Guan Ping and Pound De fighting together again, Guan Yu watched the battle for a while, and seeing that he could not win or lose, he urged his horse to swing his sword forward and attack, and said sharply to Pound: "Guan Yun is here, Pound is coming to die!" Pound did not show weakness, urging the horse to shout forward: "I have come to cut off your head on the orders of the King of Wei." Prepare the coffin and fight you to the death. If you are afraid of death, get off your horse and surrender, and I will spare you from death. "Guan Yu has suffered such insults, no nonsense, jumping on horseback, the Green Dragon Yanyue Knife flashed coldly, straight to Pound, Pound was not in a hurry, the wheel knife was blocked - just like this, you slashed with a knife and I slashed, Guan Yu's hands were cramped but there was no difference between victory and defeat, and gradually felt a little difficult. After more than a hundred rounds of fighting, Guan Ping was afraid that his father would lose his physical strength and Mingjin would stop fighting, at this time, the Wei army was afraid that Pound would lose his hand, and also urgently ordered Mingjin to collect troops. Each retreats to rest.
After Pound entered the account, he said: "People say that Guan Yu is a hero, and today's war is known, and it is indeed worthy of the name." ”
Guan Yu returned to the village and said to Guan Ping, "The Pound Sword Technique is amazing, and today I really encountered an enemy." Guan Ping said to his father, "As the saying goes, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and even if his father killed this person, he only killed a small pawn in Xiqiang; if there is a mistake, it will not destroy your name." After all, the age is not spared, and the physical strength is definitely invincible! Guan Yu said, "How can my son look down on his father and not kill him?" Don't give up. I've made up my mind, don't say anything more! ”
Guan Yu dragged the knife in the middle, and the arrow was injured and almost killed in pound's hand
The next day, Guan Yu led the troops to the front, Pound also led the troops to arrive, the two sides did not say a word, the horse dance knife straight to each other, after dozens of rounds, Pound turned the horse's head, dragged the knife away. Guan Yu then chased after him, and Guan Ping, fearing that Guan Yu had lost, followed suit. Guan Yu scolded while chasing: "Pang Thief, what is the use of your dragging knife meter in front of me?" It means: "I am the grandfather who made the tow knife meter" - it turned out that Pound made the tow knife meter and Guan Yu made the tow knife meter are not the same thing at all, Guan Yu's tow knife meter is pretending to drag the knife to defeat, and then seize the moment when the enemy is distracted when chasing, a moment of careless negligence, unexpectedly return to the horse and ask for his life. And Pound's dragging knife plan at this moment is a false dragging knife, secretly hanging the knife handle on the saddle, freeing his hand to steal the bow and arrow, suddenly Zhang bow shot at Guan Yu, the bow string sounded, Guan Gong subconsciously deflected his body, the sharp arrow flew in, although it did not hit the point, but shot Guan Yu's left arm. At this moment, Guan Ping had approached the front and hurriedly escorted Guan Yu to retreat. Pound returned to the horse wheel knife to rush, Guan Ping saw that the situation was not good, was about to return to the horse to fight, overheard the Wei army camp suddenly sounded the gong, Pound thought that the base camp had been attacked, so he turned the horse's head back to rescue.
Yu Mingjin, Guan Yu escaped danger
Yu Ban was not a man of great skill, and he had a lot of eyes, and he saw that Pound De had shot Guan Yu, lest he rob him of his great achievements, so he deliberately collected the army.
After Pound returned to the camp, he saw that the base camp had not been attacked, and he understood what was going on, knowing that Yu Ban was afraid that he had killed Guan Yu and robbed him of his prestige--thinking that he really regretted it, if he did not return to the horse, ZhiGuan chased and cut Guan Yu, then Guan Yu was already in a different place at this time.
Guan Yu released water to flood Wei Jun, and was captured in the forbidden, Pound
After Guan Yu escaped from danger, he returned to the camp, and after the arrow wound healed, he pondered the plan to deal with Yu Ban and Pound. Just at this time, Guan Ping came to report that he was forbidden to move north of Fancheng. Guan Yu then led a group of his own soldiers to a hill to inspect, which was seen in the forbidden tun army in the valley of ten miles north of the city, Fang this autumn rained continuously, the river water was bound to rise steeply, Guan Yu was very happy, when the river was full, the water was flooded and completed. Later, Guan Yu flooded the Wei army, and the Seventh Army led by Yu Forbidden Was all flooded, and all those with poor water properties died in the water. A small number of non-commissioned officers who knew the nature of water became descending soldiers, and Yu Ban was also captured, and Pound, who did not know the nature of water, was captured by Zhou Cang when he was fluttering in the water.
Later, Yu Ban surrendered, but Pound refused to surrender and was killed by Guan Yu.
Conclusion
If it were not for Yu Ban's fear that Pound had robbed the merits of Mingjin to collect troops, perhaps Guan Yu would have been killed by Pound, because Guan Yu was on a par with Pound's sword kung fu, Guan Yu was older, his strength was not as good as Pound's, and he was injured by an arrow, even if he was guarded by Ping at that time, he could not resist Pound. Later, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and turned defeat into victory, which was a tragic consequence caused by Yu Ban's own selfishness - Pound's death was really unjust!
