Wen Chou rode his horse to catch up with Liu He.

Liu He heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth. He grabbed the reins of his horse and slowed down until Wen Chou caught up. The two walked side by side. Wen Chou looked back behind him, Chun Yuqiong and Xun Chen were standing together, not knowing what they were talking about.

"Gongheng, do you really want to enter Lujiang?" Wen Chou asked.

Liu He was noncommittal, and asked rhetorically, "What advice does Zijun have?" ”

"With all due respect, I don't think it's appropriate. There are no mountains in this Runan, and these criss-crossing waterways alone are already giving us a headache. The Lujiang River not only has a lot of water, but also has mountains on both sides, and there are not many flat lands suitable for cavalry galloping. Once the back road is cut off, it is difficult for us to exit safely. Moreover, Runan is the old county of the lord, and the one who originally said that he would provide us with grain and grass has now changed his hexagram. Who can support us in Lujiang? Without food and grass, in a few days, the war horses will be dropped, and without the replenishment of arrows, we will not be able to carry out a big war, what is the difference between this and sending to death? ”

Liu He strangled his mount and frowned. "That's the reason, why didn't General Chun Yu and Xun Youruo think of these reasons?"

"Needless to say, it's either stupid or ruthless." Wen Chou spat and cursed: "These southerners are untrustworthy and unrighteous, and one is more treacherous than the other. We can't listen to them. If you pass the Huaishui, you can't come back, and you will definitely lose. ”

Liu He coughed, and reminded with a smile: "Zijun, if you say too much, you will lose." ”

Wen Chou also reacted, but refused to admit it. "Could it be that Gongheng will denounce me?"

Liu He laughed and looked back. "Let's let them find the ship first. If you can't find a boat, you can't say anything. Zijun, hurry up and collect some grain and grass, borrow if you can, grab if you can't, and when you are almost ready, we will retreat. If they want to go to Lujiang, let them go, and each has a destiny. He paused for a moment, then added, "Anyway, if they don't listen to us, we don't need to listen to them." Gentlemen are harmonious but different, seeking common ground while reserving differences, right? ”

Wen Chou understood, and smiled.

Liu He returned to his camp, ordered someone to take out a pen and paper, and wrote two letters.

A letter to Yuan Shao, after expressing the current situation, he proposed that the Runan family had changed hexagrams, and it was difficult to raise grain and grass, and it was inevitable to disturb the people. Sun Ce had withdrawn from the siege of Yuzhang, and the expected task was basically completed, and the cavalry should withdraw from Yuzhou as soon as possible to avoid the deterioration of the impact. He planned to move to Xuzhou and fight against Yuan Xi, hoping that Yuan Shao would send people to contact the Qingxu family and provide them with food and grass, so as to avoid soldiers from taking the people captive for survival.

One letter to Liu Yu. Yuan Shao's subordinates were seriously infighting, especially discriminatory against the northerners, and it was difficult to cooperate with them as barbarians. In the future, cooperation should be vigilant and not put ourselves in danger.

After Liu He finished writing the letter, he immediately sent his cronies to send it out.

——

Guan Yu crossed the Huaishui and rode his horse in a hurry.

After slaughtering the two Wuhuan cavalrymen, he robbed them of their horses and bows and arrows. There were three horses riding in turn, and his speed was very fast, and he arrived near Lu'an in half a day. At the beginning, he ambushed Zhou Yu here, which was the most beautiful battle he fought since he joined the army, and he would be very happy every time he thought about it. Revisiting the old place, he couldn't help but stop his hurried footsteps, looked at the reeds on the side, and felt a lot of emotion.

But his emotion quickly turned to vigilance, and a sneer of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He reached out and removed the Blue Dragon Glaive from his saddle and looked around.

The sound of hooves is special, more than ten horsemen slowly walked out of the surrounding grass, some of the knights on horseback are holding spears, some are opening bows, it seems that there is no order, but Guan Yu's siege is tight, no matter which direction Guan Yu breaks through, he will encounter at least two spear-wielding knights, and at the same time face at least three long-range blows with bows.

Guan Yu observed carefully. These knights did not wear flags, but wore Han army standard armor, and it was impossible to tell which side it was. The cavalry that invaded Runan was dressed in the same way, but their faces were different from those of the Han Chinese. The appearance of these knights also has a bit of a foreign feeling, but I can't tell where they are.

Guan Yu was not in the mood to ask where they were from, so after looking around, he stared at a teenager opposite. This young man was about twenty years old, dressed in a snow-white coat, without armor, but wearing a white brocade robe. He rode a majestic white horse, holding a spear, on which was tied a cluster of spear tassels made of white horsetails, with a white face, but a pretty gentleman, but his eyes were a little more unruly, not so gentle. Judging by his clothing and horses, he was undoubtedly the leader of these cavalry.

The young man looked at Guan Yu for a while, especially staring at the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in Guan Yu's hand for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Guan Yunchang? ”

Guan Yu sneered, holding a knife in one hand and stroking it with the other, and gently pushed it out. "Even if you know Guan's prestige, you still don't get out of the way?"

The boy is Ma Chao. He couldn't stay idle in the camp, took Pang De and others out to hunt, and by the way, he reconnoitred, and saw Guan Yu coming with three horses, riding a northern war horse, and he originally thought that Guan Yu was the scout of the other party, so he wanted to ambush him. At this moment, seeing Guan Yu's appearance, and recognizing Guan Yu's knife, he had already dispersed his hostility, said hello, and was immediately unhappy when he heard Guan Yu's words.

"Prestige?" Ma Chao laughed. "You will be defeated in every battle, what prestige do you have? has grown such a big man, but he doesn't have a brain, a pair of squinted eyes, only seeing the frog at the bottom of the well three feet in front of him, and he doesn't know the world's big. He smiled and shouted: "Say, where did you come from, why did you come from, but there is an official document?" ”

Seeing that Ma Chao was disrespectful, Guan Yu was also angry, and he didn't bother to explain to him. "Guan came to see General Sun, why bother with you. Get out of the way! Otherwise, Hugh blames Guan for being ruthless. ”

"Look at your thief-eyed appearance, do you still want to see General Sun? If you want to see it, throw away the knife and dismount, so that I don't get into trouble......"

Guan Yu was furious: "Hu Nu is presumptuous! Eat me with a knife. Kicking the war horse fiercely, he rushed towards Ma Chao, waved the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and slashed head-on.

Ma Chao's grandmother is a Qiang girl, the appearance is different from the Han people, in the Qiang land, but back in Guanzhong but often scolded as a Qiang species, this is very sensitive, hearing the word "Hu Nu", suddenly the blood is on the head, the handsome face is red, without saying a word, kicking the war horse, raising the spear to face the battle.

The spear is an assassin, which is conducive to frontal impact, and Guan Yu uses a knife, which is not conducive to receiving the enemy, but after he got the knife, he has been pondering it for the past few months, and he has studied the seven kills of breaking the edge very deeply, and his martial arts have advanced to another level. Seeing Ma Chao prancing his horse coming with a spear, he was not in a hurry, and the Qinglong Glaive knife drew an arc of light and slashed at Ma Chao's spearhead. The Qinglong Glaive Knife was wider and thicker than the ordinary long knife, and it was heavier, and it easily knocked open Ma Chao's spear, and the remaining momentum was not reduced, and the long knife was wiped towards Ma Chao's neck.

The horse spears intersected, and Ma Chao's palms felt numb. He was by Sun Ce's side every day, and he was very familiar with the Seven Kills of Breaking Blade, and when he saw Guan Yu's knife momentum, he knew that the situation was not good, so he didn't say a word, and turned the spear sideways and blocked it in front of his neck.

The Green Dragon Glaive grazed the hilt of the spear, making a piercing grinding sound, and a series of sparks were rubbed out, illuminating Ma Chao's eyes. Ma Chao's pupils subconsciously constricted, and at a glance, he saw Guan Yu's contemptuous eyes on Xueliang's knife, and he was immediately furious, his right arm was forced, the spearhead was erected, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife that was open to the feather was stabbed in Guan Yu's back with a spear.

"Return to the dragon to kill!"
