8 The will of the sword
Sun Quan has been restless these days, wanting to lose his temper for no reason, since the death of Zhou Yu, he has been suffocating in his heart, seeing that Liu Bei is devouring the south of Jingzhou, on the one hand, he hates Zhou Yu for dying so early, and on the other hand, he is troubled by Lu Su's chatter.
After the Battle of Chibi, the original Lord and faction were suddenly overwhelmed by the main battle faction, and Lu Su's prestige also reached its peak at once, but Sun Quan knew that Lu Su's talent was not qualified for the position of the governor of the capital, and he was forced by public opinion and Zhou Yu's trust, so he had to reluctantly agree, although on the surface he behaved very simply.
What made him unhappy was that Cao Cao, who was defeated by Ma Chao, immediately began to arrange a battle for revenge, because he had just rushed to Chang'an to fight Ma Chao, and Cao Cao had not rested enough when he returned to Xuchang, but he couldn't wait, and he ordered Zhang Liao to be stationed in Shouchun to reorganize his troops and horses to attack Hefei.
Sun Quan decided to go to the front in person, and this time, the ministers agreed to let him go to the front in person.
Sun Quan was depressed that the grain and grass were prepared too slowly, and Zhang Liao was already on the march.
What he didn't know was that the reason why his subordinates did not object to him going to war was to let this young lord, who was not yet 30 years old, experience the battlefield, understand the war, and be familiar with the operation of the army and the raising of grain and grass, otherwise he might take it for granted in the future and mislead the overall situation.
And what made him even more annoying was that Zhou Yu offered a plan to marry Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei before his death, and asked Liu Bei to go to Soochow in person to trap Liu Bei with a beauty.
Sun Quan danced a sword in the courtyard, while thinking about troubles, a set of swords danced, his heart was a lot more thorough, he was determined to defeat Zhang Liao first, let Cao ** the heart of the southern expedition, and then think about other things.
At the beginning of the early dynasty, Sun Quan sat on the upper seat with a flushed face, looking at the black civil and military officials below, and his heart was full of emotion.
Lu Su took the first step forward and said, "Lord, eighty percent of the grain and grass have been raised, and the sergeant has been prepared, just waiting for the lord's order." ”
Sun Quan patted the seat, stood up, and said, "Very good!" Tomorrow is an auspicious day, so let's go tomorrow! Zijing, you stay in Jianye to take care of daily affairs, and urge me to do grain and grass in the rear. ”
Lu Su bowed down and said: "The lord is in person, Lu Su dares not to die!" ”
Outside Changsha City, it has been a change of scenery, Guan Yu led 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed outside Changsha City, looking at the past, Changsha City is not big, but the wall of the city wall is full of holes, for archers to shoot arrows intensively, if you forcibly attack the city, you can also stab out the long-handled weapon from the inside.
Guan Yu took the lead in the horse, the drum rumbled, and he saw a short and fat man standing above the city tower, with a mustache and triangular eyes, staring at Guan Yu with a puff of anger.
"Is it Han Taishou in the city?" Guan Yu shouted.
"Guan Yu, you dare to invade my realm, you must know that I Han Xuan is not Liu Du, Jin Xuan and the like, how can you be allowed to spread wild here!" Han Xuan pointed at Guan Yu, because he was so angry, his face turned red, and he accidentally swallowed saliva into his trachea, and coughed violently.
Guan Yu snorted and said with a smile: "Since you know that Liu Du and Jin Xuan have surrendered, why don't you open the city gate early, so as not to lose your troops!" ”
Han Xuan came back to his senses and said angrily: "Lost soldiers? I should say that to you, right? It's too late to go back now, or I'll call you back! ”
Guan Yu saw that he was unreasonable, and he didn't feel annoyed, so he rode out first, crossed the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and said: "Since this is the case, let's see the real chapter with my subordinates, come, who will fight with me!?" ”
The gate of Changsha City was opened, the drums rumbled, and a horse and sword in ochre red armor rushed out of the city, and Han Xuan said proudly in the city: "Guan Yu, let you taste the force of my first brave general in Changsha, Yang Ling!" ”
Guan Yu saw through the other party's strength at a glance, snorted coldly, stood still in place, and coldly watched Yang Ling rush over.
Yang Ling burst out, a knife slashed down, Guan Yu held the knife in his left hand, lightly blocked, lifted, and swept Yang Ling away, Yang Ling was furious, turned around and slashed over, Guan Yu slashed at his hilt, Yang Ling's knife deviated from the direction in his hand, ah, ah, slashed on the ground, full of flaws.
"Get out of here, or you won't die!" Guan Yu pressed his knife, Yang Ling lowered his body, holding the knife in both hands, and couldn't lift the knife up.
Guan Yu was relieved, Yang Ling let out a loud shout, and finally raised the knife, but he didn't expect Guan Yu to suddenly withdraw his strength, so his strength was greater, and he almost fell backwards.
"Hansheng, you're here too! Okay, you see, Guan Yu is just like this, Yang Ling is inseparable from him! Han Xuan saw Huang Zhong coming in a cloth suit, the two had not seen each other for a long time, thinking that the war was imminent, it was inevitable that Huang Zhong would be used, and his tone was a little polite.
Huang Zhong saw the difference in strength between the two sides at a glance, and he didn't say anything, he just nodded, sat down with one butt, and Wei Yan on the other side also caught up with the city tower, seeing that Huang Zhong had arrived, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, and retreated to the side to watch the battle.
"Kill, kill, Yang Ling, kill Guan Yu!" Han Xuan ran to the edge of the city tower and waved his arms excitedly.
Yang Ling couldn't say if he was bitter, Guan Yu had no intention of fighting with him at all, if he really tried his strength, he would have died a long time ago, but he couldn't be defeated like this, otherwise he would definitely be cut by Han Xuan, so he had to slash hard.
Guan Yu Qinglong knife attached to Yang Ling's knife face, brushed and turned twice, and said "go", Yang Ling shouted, the knife in his hand almost got out of his hand, and he hurriedly rode his horse away, seeing that Guan Yu did not chase him, turned the horse's head, and prepared to fight again, but saw Guan Yu looking at the city tower, staring at the veteran Huang Zhong who was sitting firmly in the city tower.
"Ah, you despise me!" Yang Ling was furious, and rushed forward with a horse and a knife.
Guan Yu saw him pestering, his eyes opened, and a sense of truth was revealed, Yang Ling and the war horse were shocked by the truth, and they stiffened, Guan Yu shouted: "Give you a chance to run for your life, I have to kill you, as you wish!" ”
In a flash of blue light, Yang Ling was slashed from his head to his crotch by Guan Yu and split in half.
Guan Yu raised the Qinglong Sword and pointed directly at Huang Zhong: "You are Huang Zhong, I heard that you are the strongest in Jingzhou, come, duel with me!" ”
Han Xuan was shocked, he didn't expect Yang Ling to be stuck with Guan Yu just now, why was he suddenly hacked to death? How did Guan Yu know Huang Zhong!?
He turned his head and saw Huang Zhong smiling and nodding, looking very appreciative, and he didn't feel suspicious.
"Taishou, since Guan Yu named me to fight, if I don't fight, won't I become a shrunken turtle?" Huang Zhong got up and said coldly.
Han Xuan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "That's, he doesn't want to live anymore, since the old general is out of the horse, Han Xuan is worry-free, if the old general can kill Guan Yu in front of the battle, then Yang Ling's seat is yours!" ”
Huang Zhong glanced at him with disdain, and said loudly: "Take my knife and raise the bow!" ”
Wei Yan was very excited, since he arrived in Changsha, he had never seen Huang Zhong's true ability, this time he was naturally excited to see him fight, and the opponent he challenged was the famous Guan Yu, how could he miss such a fight?
"Old general, Wei Yan will go with you!" Wei Yan followed, and Han Xuan was furious in his heart: "I didn't give an order, why did you go out to fight without permission?" "I was going to scold Wei Yan, but I thought that it was important to defeat Guan Yu first at this time, and it was not too late to settle accounts with Wei Yan afterwards.
Huang Zhong quickly put on his clothes, and in the rumbling of the drums, he went out alone, followed only by Wei Yan.
Guan Yu admired Huang Zhong's bravery, and also stood out, saying, "You are Huang Zhong?" Interesting! Guan Yu let you stab you three times! ”
Huang Zhong raised the big knife and said, "No need, how about Huang Zhong let you ten knives first?" ”
Guan Yu smiled: "Okay, since that's the case, let's start!" ”
Huang Zhong shouted, it was really like an erection, his muscles were tense, and his body turned earthy yellow.
Guan Yuce stepped forward immediately, the Qinglong knife dragged the ground, and slashed upward.
Huang Zhong slashed at the Qinglong knife with his backhand, and the two knives were shocked, and they were evenly matched, and both of them secretly shouted "good" in their hearts.
Guan Yu picked up the big knife and slashed at Huang Zhong in all directions, Huang Zhong did not show weakness, and shouted: "Look at my ten sides!" ”
Every knife struck Huang Zhong's knife, which shocked Guan Yu's palms numb, and he was shocked: I didn't expect this old horseman to have such speed and strength, and he couldn't take advantage of the knife in the slightest. ”
Huang Zhong was also extremely surprised, he had never fought with such a strong person in his life, and he didn't feel excited in his heart, the more he fought, the more energetic he became, and said with a smile: "Haha, interesting, Guan Yu Pifu, it really deserves its reputation!" I'll teach you how to use a knife! ”
Guan Yu originally thought that he was talking arrogantly, but he didn't expect Huang Zhong to suddenly fly with his hands, and the long knife was tossing up and down between his hands, and he couldn't see where the head of the knife was, only to see that the long knife seemed to come to life, and it was quickly churning in front of Huang Zhong.
Guan Yu understood that such a knife formation was actually best broken, and when he lifted the horse's neck first, the red rabbit horse man stood up, Guan Yu shouted, broke out domineering, and stabbed in from Huang Zhong's middle road.
Huang Zhong was shocked, he didn't expect Guan Yu to be a master, and he saw through the only weakness of his trick at a glance, which was the center, and he hurriedly jumped on his horse, gently avoided Guan Yu's stab, and slashed at the red rabbit horse with the knife in his hand.
Guan Yu shouted, his face suddenly turned red, Qianqiu Zhenru exploded, Huang Zhong didn't expect his Zhenru to suddenly rise sharply, the war horse was stagnant, and bounced to the side.
It's amazing! The stones on the ground beside Guan Yu were so excited that they flew up, and they were blown into small stones by the domineering aura that exploded everywhere, flying in all directions. Several trees were uprooted, crackling and breaking, and then disappeared.
Huang Zhong muttered in his heart, if he really fought like this, he was really not his opponent, so he hurriedly took off the bow from behind, bent the bow and arrows, and the war horse slowly ran into the distance.
Seeing that he had escaped from the domineering range, Guan Yu bent his bow and shot arrows, and hurriedly rode his horse towards Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong shouted: "A thousand shots! The arrow in his hand shot out, and suddenly turned into ten thousand arrows in the air like a meteor, and shot towards Guan Yu densely.
Guan Yu was busy improving his domineering spirit, resisting the arrows, while rotating the Qinglong Knife, covering his whole body, the Qinglong Knife jingled non-stop, Guan Yu struggled in his hands, so he had to slow down, barely coping with tens of thousands of dense arrows.
The strength of the arrows is too great, Guan Yurao is the domineering truth of the upper class, and he is also a little unbearable, if he is an ordinary person, he would have been shot into a hornet's nest by Huang Zhong's move.
Huang Zhong saw that he couldn't shoot Guan Yu, his heart was shocked, he was busy holding the bow in his right hand, and his left hand condensed a ball of Zhenru, pulling the bowstring, Zhenru immediately transformed into a real arrow, Huang Zhong shouted: "Look at my Zhenru bullet again!" ”
Loose strings, really like a bullet like a ray of light, Guan Yu looked at it, and in an instant, a knife was cut down, just hit the real bullet, Huang Zhong was shocked, he didn't expect that the speed of light like a bullet was also blocked by Guan Yu, he didn't have time to make the next move, the red rabbit horse flashed, and had already jumped above him, Guan Yu was like Mount Tai pressing the top, holding a knife in both hands, and slashed down heavily.
The domineering spirit really seemed to burst on Huang Zhong's body, Huang Zhong's armor was shattered, his silver hair fluttered, and the green dragon knife slashed down like a groundbreak, Huang Zhong gritted his teeth, gathered all his strength, and raised the steel knife to resist.
Kill!
Guan Yu slashed heavily on Huang Zhong's knife handle, Huang Zhong's arms shook, his hands cracked, blood gushed out, his arms were weak, bent down, the edge of the Qinglong knife was close to his forehead, and a stream of blood had flowed down from his forehead.
On the line of life and death, Huang Zhong struggled to support, but he sat down on the war horse but could no longer support it, neighed, his legs spread in all directions, tearing the horse's belly, and was really crushed.
Under the pressure of domineering, the flesh and blood of the war horse flew sideways.
Huang Zhong fell off his horse and stood in the flesh and blood, kneeling on one leg, still blocking Guan Yu's knife.
Suddenly, the pressure on his arms plummeted, and he saw Guan Yu's red face gradually fade, and Qianqiu's domineering spirit disappeared.
Huang Zhong was sweating profusely, Guan Yu suddenly withdrew his knife and said, "Good Huang Zhong!" Change horses and fight again tomorrow! ”
Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that when he couldn't support it, Guan Yu suddenly withdrew his knife, if he held on for a while, he would definitely be hacked to death by Guan Yu.
Guan Yu is actually not easy, Qianqiu's domineering spirit generally can't last long, because it consumes too much true ru, at this time, Guan Yu is also like prostration, just don't show it, if Huang Zhong comes with another arrow at this time, he will not be able to dodge, so he deliberately retracts the knife, so that Huang Zhong can't detect that his true ru is almost exhausted.
"Yes, yes! Huang Zhong is so powerful! Han Xuan smashed his fist on the city wall, and tears flowed down his eyes in pain.
Wei Yan hurriedly gave up the war horse to Huang Zhong, and the thrilling battle between the two of them shocked Wei Yan very much, he looked at Guan Yu from afar, and a god-like admiration rose in his heart.
"This Guan Yu, it's really amazing, I almost died in his hands, go back and rest first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow!" Huang Zhong was panting, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed into his clothes like rain.
