Chapter 672: Mourning is greater than heart death (small side of the people reward plus more)
A group of men and horses were fighting in the dense reeds on the side, and a tall man took the lead, galloping wildly, a sharp cold light flashed, and the two knights who met him were in different places.
Zhou Ang didn't expect someone to ambush him at all. The news he received was that Wu Jing only left 1,000 people to guard Lu'an, and according to common sense, these people should stay in Lu'an County and hold on to the city, so that there would be a glimmer of life. If it was a field battle, even if Wu Jing's subordinates were good at fighting, they would not be able to make a huge difference in the disparity in strength. If you still divide your troops in this case, you must have a bad brain. Of course, he didn't expect anyone to crouch in the reeds by the roadside. Before the army passes by, there will be scouts back and forth to inquire about the news and clear the hidden dangers. Even if the reeds are thick, it is difficult for a few thousand people to hide without a single flaw.
But all he thought was just what he thought after all, the truth was completely unexpected, Guan Yu just lay under his nose, and suddenly killed him when he passed by.
Guan Yu took the lead, rushed to the front, broke the front and killed seven times like flowing water, and the thousands of troops broke out a cold light, and put the seven or eight Jiujiang soldiers who came up to the ground at all, and no one could stop Guan Yu's assault at all. Zhou Cang and the others almost didn't even have a chance to make a move, so they could only take a big step and follow closely. They knew that Guan Yu was good at martial arts and could be ten with one, even a warrior like Zhou Cang couldn't survive a round in front of him, but such a sharp attack still shocked them.
This is not a fight, this is a one-sided slaughter.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Guan Yu broke through the interception of the guards around Zhou Ang, rushed to the four-wheeled carriage, he glanced at Zhou Ang's frightened face in the window, sneered, jumped up, held a thousand troops in one hand, stretched his arms to the extreme, like a dragon shooting, the goshawk spread its wings, and the four-foot-long blade pierced the window accurately, hitting Zhou Ang's throat.
Zhou Ang fell backwards, and Qianjun pierced his throat, peeked through the back of his neck, and pierced the thick carriage, revealing half of the snowy blade.
Zhou Ang was so angry on the spot that blood gushed out, staining his clothes red in an instant. He leaned back in the carriage, his eyes wide open, and his slew quickly faded into a hollow. Guan Yu drew a knife, reached out over the car window, grabbed the crumbling wine jug on the case, raised his neck, poured half a jug of fine wine into his mouth, drank it all in one gulp, threw the wine jug on the ground, and laughed loudly.
"Happy!"
Seeing that Guan Yu was so arrogant, Zhou Cang and the others were enthusiastic, rushed into the Jiujiang County soldiers and slashed and killed, cut down most of Zhou Ang's troops, and quickly took the carriage as the center to establish a circular formation, and made every effort to block the counterattack of the Jiujiang County soldiers. Zhou Cang tore off Zhou Ang's battle flag and replaced it with Guan Yu's battle flag.
From Guan Yu's order to attack to Zhou Ang's death, the charging distance was two hundred steps, and it was only a few words before and after, and the Jiujiang County soldiers didn't even have time to change from a marching formation to a battle formation, and the battle was over. The officers and men of the Chinese army were inexplicably frightened, and the officers and men of the front army and the rear army did not even know what was going on. When they noticed that the Chinese army had changed an unfamiliar flag, they realized that something might have happened, and they immediately became a mess.
Guan Yu jumped on the roof of the carriage, looked around with his knife, took a deep breath, and roared.
"Guan Yu is here, who dares to fight?!"
——
Wu Jing received news from Guan Yu and was overjoyed to learn that Guan Yu had slashed Zhou Ang and the Jiujiang soldiers had collapsed. While sending someone to inform Sun Jian, he turned back to pursue and expand the results of the battle.
Guan Yu drove straight into Jiujiang County with five hundred elites and went straight to the Yin Mausoleum of Jiujiang County.
The Jiujiang County soldiers were leaderless and fell into chaos, even if someone tried to block it, it was not Guan Yu's opponent, and it was quickly broken. Guan Yu didn't have the heart to take Chengde, who was close at hand, so he crossed the city, traveled more than 300 miles in three days, and attacked the city of Yinling in one go.
Zhou Ang took most of the troops, and the Yin Tomb was empty, with only a few hundred people to defend. What's more, they didn't expect Zhou Ang to die at all, and they didn't even have time to send back a little news before they died. When Guan Yu appeared outside Yinling City, Yinling City was peaceful, without the slightest preparation, and the soldiers at the head of the city thought that they were sent by Zhou Ang. When they found out that the situation was not right, it was too late, Guan Yu cut down the soldiers at the city gate, leaving some people to control the city gate, and he took Zhou Cang and several people into the inner city.
Zhou Yu, who had not recovered from his serious injuries, was lying on the sickbed, looking at Guan Yu who kicked in the door, his face was calm and his eyes were empty. He stared at Guan Yu for a moment, and said lightly: "Guan Yu under Liu Bei? ”
Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, his phoenix eyes widened slightly, his silkworm eyebrows trembled slightly, he stroked his beard, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of smugness that was so faint that he couldn't see it. "You've heard my name?"
"I've heard Chen Deng talk about it." Zhou Yu drooped his eyelids. "Yuan Mengzhu still hopes that you will fight with Chen Deng in the north and south, but I didn't expect you to become a subordinate of the Sun family's father and son, it is really providential. Looks like my brother is more than lucky, right? ”
Guan Yu heard the sarcasm in Zhou Yu's tone, and he was smug and angry. He snorted: "Your brother is ambitious and talented, although there are 10,000 people, he can't be killed by a single blow of 500 people, and he has already been awarded the head, Yuan Shao expects you scholars, how can you succeed." You just walk slowly on the Huangquan Road and wait for him to get there. ”
Zhou Yu laughed silently, the more he laughed, the louder he became, and he kept laughing out of breath. He gasped and squinted at Guan Yu. "Guan Yu, you are just a horseman, how can you be qualified to evaluate Yuan Mengzhu, and where can you understand the ambition of our scholars. In a hundred years of life, who can not die? Or lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai. Seek benevolence and get benevolence, and the husband will have no resentment. Don't look at you now to be proud, in another thirty years, and see how the historian writes. ”
The more Guan Yu looked at it, the more disdainful he became, Qian Junpo drew half a circle in his hand, lifted his body upside down, walked back and forth around Zhou Yu twice, and stood still in front of Zhou Yu. "There's one thing I want to tell you, but I don't know if you'll be able to laugh after listening to it."
Zhou Yu laughed, full of disdain. "The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?"
"Don't worry, Guan Mou's knife will not kill the nameless, I am afraid that your acid will stain my knife. What I want to tell you is that Sun Bofu was appointed by the imperial court as the chief inspector and will soon be in office. I heard that your Zhou family is a big clan of Huiji, and the three brothers are attached to the Yuan family, all of which are 2,000 stones, and I don't know if they can compare to the Xu family of Runan. Xu Shao was defeated by the rebellious general, and fled in embarrassment, his brother Xu Qian bowed his head, I really want to know if the three brothers of your Zhou family can be a little stronger than the brothers of the Xu family. ”
Zhou Yu frowned, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, even the unhealthy flushing was gone, and his face was pale. Sun Ce was appointed by the imperial court as the chief inspector? What's going on in the imperial court, how could Wang Yun tolerate such a thing, he can't control the government anymore? Zhou Yu suddenly found that he hadn't heard the latest news from the imperial court for a long time, so much so that he had to hear such a thing from Guan Yu's mouth. Needless to say, the situation must be not good, so Zhou Ang didn't tell him, lest he feel uncomfortable.
Zhou Ang's heart was like ashes. He closed his eyes and stopped talking to Guan Yu.
Three days later, when Wu Jing arrived at the Yin Tomb, Zhou Yu died.
