Xiangyang.

Mafu.

"Military ...... Ji Chang, really don't want to leave the house? ”

Guan Ping asked about leaving the house, but in fact, he asked who he was asking.

Ma Liang said: "When things come to an end, they will all be decided by the words of the young general." ”

Guan Fang knew that Ma Liang was still with him, but because of the situation, he had died, or felt hopeless. Then he said gloomily: "That is the case, Ji Chang will rest, and wait for the general to meet with the Ming army." ”

Ma Liang nodded, but did not speak.

Come while you're in a hurry, and leave in a hurry!

At the city gates.

"Xingba!"

"Major General!"

Guan Ping was silent for a moment and said, "Let's go, get out of the city." ”

"Yes, Major General."

The two of them went out of the city together, accompanied by no more than two hundred men, but they were all cavalry. Compared with the more than 100,000 Ming troops outside the city, it can be described as dwarfed.

Guan Ping stopped his subordinates, took a few steps forward, and shouted: "Ben will come as promised, dare to ask where is the governor of Gaodu?" ”

"General Guan, it's been a long time!"

Gao Shun was not afraid, and he also went out to fight, until the distance between the two was less than thirty zhang, he stopped, and then said: "Is General Guan really sure that he wants to decide the ownership of Xiangyang by competition?" ”

"How?"

Guan Ping's complexion remained unchanged, and he said, "Scared? ”

"Afraid?"

Gao Shun's face twitched, and he immediately turned around and returned to the battle: "Since General Guan thinks so, then let Gan Ning come out to fight!" ”

Guan Ping stared at Gao Shun's back and was silent for a long time, until he returned to the formation, and then turned around and turned back to the formation.

"General Gan!"

"The last general!"

"Are you sure you'll win?"

Ganning wanted to say "yes", but he didn't want to lie.

Guan Ping understood, but was silent for a while, and then said, "Do your best!" ”

"Yes!"

Guan Ping looked at Gan Ning who stepped forward on the horse, and his heart was full of waves.

He...... How can you be sure to win!

"General Gan, I haven't seen you for many days, but are you okay?" Pound didn't seem to see an opponent, but like an old friend he hadn't seen for years.

Gan Ning didn't think so, and said coldly: "Is it a pity that the general escaped from the ambush that day?" ”

Pound's face was pale, and he no longer had a hot face to stick to the cold buttocks.

"Please!"

"Please!"

Gan Ning's eyes exploded with murderous intent in his eyes, and after speaking, he waved the iron chain and rushed forward. This time, Gan Ning abandoned the double halberd and concentrated on facing the battle with an iron chain.

Gan Ning's best skill is underwater kung fu, which can be said to be unmatched in this era, and may still be the first in a long time; The second is archery, then the iron chain is the first in the blade, and then the double halberd.

In other words, this time Gan Ning went all out, no longer letting the double halberds be led away, consuming a lot of physical strength.

Last time, Gan Ning's chain skill left a deep impression on Pang De, although he had prepared for it this time, but seeing that he used it at the beginning, he inevitably hesitated for a moment, and then raised his knife to meet it.

"The chain is like a snake, and the snake beats seven inches, and the same should be true of the chain."

Recalling Gao Shun's guidance, Pound suddenly had confidence.

It is precisely like this, although Gan Ning's chain skills are more powerful, but he was broken by Pound, especially after Pound changed a stick halfway, it was even more slippery than his iron chain, and he couldn't lock it.

"Xingba is defeated!"

Guan Ping's martial arts are very high, especially following Guan Yu all the time, making his martial arts much more powerful than in history. At a glance, I saw through that Gan Ning at this time had no way to take Pound, although he was still on the offensive, but defeat, it was a matter of time.

"There are still thirty moves at most, and Ling Ming is about to win."

Gao Shun is better and sees more. In terms of martial arts, he is above Guan Ping; In terms of experience, decades of conquest are no joke. Otherwise, those who died under Gao Shun's knife would not agree.

Sure enough, after more than ten rounds, Pang De changed his previous defensive posture and began to counterattack, and through special movements, a wave of shock was transmitted to Gan Ning's hands. Although because of the characteristics of the chain, this force is not large, but in the same way, because it is a chain, there is a feeling of wanting to get rid of it, and it is ......

Hiss~

Gan Ning couldn't help but gasp for air, his hand hurt from the chain, he was sure that even if there was no blood blister on his hand, at least the calluses would be smoothed out.

And counting.

After Pound's copper rod was wrapped around the iron chain, he was not in a hurry to get rid of it, but deliberately made it wrap it a few more times while turning. Gan Ning sensed that something was wrong, but how could Pound let him get rid of it, and suddenly shouted-

"Broken!"

Gan Ning only felt the iron chain in his hand shook, and the long stick hit his chest. Gan Ning had no choice but to lean back and dodge the blow.

However, Pound took this opportunity to smash Gan Ning's wrist with a stick.

"It's over!"

Gan Ning's left palm fell down, and the iron chain detached from it.

It's fine to use a different blade with one hand, but if it's a chain......

In just three rounds, Pound completely defeated Ganning.

"Agreed!"

In view of the purpose of this fight, Pound did not make a dead move, and returned to the formation.

"The palm of your hand is just dislocated, go to the Pontus Governor's formation, someone will pick you back again, and then you just need to rest for a while."

Gao Shun was originally well-intentioned, but it was very exciting when it fell into Gan Ning's ears.

With a cold snort, Gan Ning walked back without looking back, just looking at the same level of guilt: "Young general, the last general ......"

"It's okay!"

Guan Ping waved his hand, and then stood in front of Gao Shun.

The two didn't do it right away.

Guan Ping asked, "Your Majesty...... Uncle, he's really gone? ”

Gao Shun didn't think about it and said, "It should have already passed the first seven." ”

"Humph!"

Guan Ping snorted coldly and said, "You must kill my father?" ”

Gao Shun was silent for a moment this time and said, "It's not that Your Majesty wants to kill him, but that General Guan doesn't want to live alone." ”

After a pause, Gao Shun showed admiration and said: "The friendship between Liu Bei and Guan Yu will surely be praised by history. ”

Guan Ping's tone slowed down, and he slowly raised his knife: "That's the case, Gaodu Governor, please!" ”

"Please!"

In this battle, Guan Ping tried his best, or it was a completely lifeless attack, but although he was more powerful than in history, the gap between him and Gao Shun was really not small.

One is the best in the world, and the other is not the first-class!

Defeated!

Guan Ping lost without a chance!

At this time, Gan Ning, who was watching the game from behind, found that his defeat to Pound was not so unacceptable.

"The city has been arranged, except for the two hundred people who came out, they are all waiting in the barracks. If the governor is not afraid, he can enter the city directly. When he couldn't win desperately, the last glimmer of hope in Guan Ping's heart was shattered.

"Good!"

Gao Shun took a deep look at him, and waved his hand to let the trap camp behind him follow. He admires Guan Ping's courage, but he doesn't really believe it completely.

Subsequently, Gao Shun successfully entered the city, and it took less than an hour to complete the reception of Xiangyang.

"General Guan!"

"Now Guan is no longer a general, Gao Du can call Guan's name or word."

"In that case......"

Gao Shun did not refuse, and said: "Tanzhi! ”

"Gao Du Du!" Guan Ping arched his hand.

Gao Shun nodded, then his face turned straight and said, "Guan Ping takes the order!" ”

"The grass people are here!"

Grass people, not sinners!

Gao Shun didn't pay attention to all of them, and raised his voice: "Your Majesty has an order, Governor Guan Ping is reasonable, considerate of the people, and meritorious to the country. ”

Hearing the last word, Guan Ping's heart was shocked: "The minister accepts the order!" ”

When he got up, Guan Ping hurriedly asked, "Governor, dare to ask Your Majesty if you have made my father a loyal and beneficial prince?" ”

"Not bad!"

Gao Shun said in a straight voice: "Your Majesty thinks that Zhonghui Gong is loyal and righteous, not succumbed to fame and fortune, nor bent over for a three-foot body, and should be a model for the world, and deserves to be praised, so as to be awarded the title of Loyal Huigong." ”

"Today, General Guan, as his eldest son, should inherit the title. In addition, His Majesty hopes that General Guan can find Brother Ling as soon as possible. ”

Guan Ping burst into tears and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Thank you, Governor! ”

Then, Gan Ning was transferred to the navy, but because his wrist was dislocated before, he temporarily stayed in Xiangyang to recuperate.

Ma Liang was named Changshi, but the specific position was not issued, and he had already rushed to Chang'an with his family.

Between half a month, with the token of the original Guan Ping, he was able to take over Jingxiang smoothly, although some people were not convinced, but in front of the powerful Ming army, it was just a small problem, and he was killed with a backhand.

Reducing casualties and representing forbearance.

The sudden bloodshed made some people who thought they had an opportunity to take advantage of it feel cold.

Some people, therefore, were completely restrained, and some people were secretly plotting, but they were driven into their homes by groups of Ming troops, and one family after another was destroyed.

In this way, the conquest of Jingzhou, not only did not consume materials, but made a small profit because of it, not much, but it also made Gongsun Du, who had just subdued Yizhou, happy, but-

"The road in Yizhou must be repaired, this march is too slow, and it may leave a disaster in the future."
