Chapter 339, The Wind Rises

Wancheng!

Jia Xu's study, one old and one young, there are two people kneeling in the room, the old white hair is gray, and the twilight is gloomy, like a rotten old tree, from top to bottom, from head to toe, it is full of the death of the dying wood.

This person, unkempt, shabby, withered, his body shrunk together, a pair of cloudy eyes, staring at the fire in front of him, this person's name is Jia Xu, the premier strategist next to Zhang Xiu!

And the other person, although young and handsome, the complexion is really worrying, these two people sit together, but it seems so harmonious, the old is thin, it seems that there is no life at all, the little one is also sickly on his face, coughing and wheezing from time to time, neither of them speaks, they are staring at the fire in front of them.

I don't know how long it took, Jia Xu spoke, "Fengxiao, please go back, go back and tell Cao Gong that Liu Beixiu wants to return to Luoyang as scheduled!" ”

Guo Jia smiled and nodded, "Wenhe, talent, I don't know if you have the ambition to choose another master?" Living under Zhang Xiu's command, it is really a pearl and a dust, and the pearl is secretly cast? Guo Jia sighed earnestly and stood up with a smile.

Jia Xu shook his head with a smile, with an honest and loyal expression, "Feng Xiaomei, Wen He understands it, the old man is not a big Buddha, and the small temple is enough!" ”

Guo Jia didn't persuade much, his goal had been achieved, and then accompanied by the two little guys, he got into the carriage against the wind and snow!

It wasn't until the shadow of the carriage completely disappeared from sight that Jia Xu's muddy and wooden eyes suddenly became snow-bright, like knives, like electricity, and the essence of light flickered, just with this pair of eyes, the momentum on his body suddenly changed!

Guo Jia's intention was to let Zhang Xiu send troops and intercept Liu Bei halfway, even if he couldn't stop Liu Bei, he couldn't let Liu Bei return to Luoyang in time.

Even if Guo Jia doesn't come, Jia Xu will do it, if Zhang Xiu wants to keep the foundation, if Jia Xu wants to sit back and relax, he must weaken Liu Bei's strength as much as possible, otherwise, Liu Bei will definitely wave his troops to conquer Wancheng in the future!

………………

Yecheng.

On this day, early in the morning, Guo Tu came to Yuan Shao's general's mansion in a hurry, and when he saw Yuan Shao, Guo Tu immediately smiled, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Lord, great joy, great joy, Ma Teng's soldiers have taken Tongguan a few days ago, and they are marching all the way east, and there is a great sign of smashing Huanglong to coerce the gods!" ”

When Yuan Shao got the news, the person sent by Guan Yu to Jizhou to deliver the letter to Liu Bei had not yet delivered the letter!

Because, the answer is very simple, Ma Teng was attracted by Yuan Shao, Dongshanwei has been 'watching' near Tongguan, there was just movement there, and the news was immediately sent out in two waves, one to Li Xiao in Luoyang, and one to Yecheng!

"Good, it's time to fight back!" When Yuan Shao heard the good news, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, clenched his fists excitedly, and finally sulked.

This time, in order to make the plan smoothly implemented, Yuan Shao did not hesitate to send out a few cities, deliberately luring Liu Bei's army to go deeper, Liu Bei did not guard against fraud, and led the army directly into the hinterland of Jizhou.

When Liu Bei got the news of the loss of Tongguan, he was worried about the instability of Luoyang, and decisively led the troops to retreat, but he went to find that the Yuan army, which had been pressed and beaten by him before, suddenly seemed to be beaten like chicken blood, and the Yuan army fought back desperately, and the general Yan Liangwen Chou also held the Yellow River crossing, Liu Bei was anxious, and there was no other way, so he could only lead people to fight to the death.

Yuan Shao also personally rushed to the Yellow River crossing, this time, Yuan Shao was very decisive and crisp enough.

Because, no matter how many casualties there are, it's worth it!

The two sides are on the north bank of the Yellow River, fighting in the dark, inseparable, Liu Beijun is like a wolf like a tiger, Yuan Jun has already laid out his pockets with ease and waiting for work, one desperately breaks through, one stubbornly defends, a fierce battle, the killing is inseparable, in less than half a day, the casualties on both sides have exceeded 20,000 people!

The picture switches to Tongguan, after Ma Teng took Tongguan, he didn't stop for a moment, and immediately waved his troops eastward, Ma Teng's purpose was very simple, that is, to take advantage of Liu Bei's absence, he wanted to seize Luoyang and command the world.

In troubled times, who doesn't want to climb high and raise their arms and command the Quartet?

Ma Teng is an out-and-out warlord, he has this strength, and now that Lady Luck has sent him the opportunity again, he naturally will not miss it.

This time, not only Ma Teng came, Han Sui also came, the three armies of Xiliang were united, the tiger of the mountain was downhill, and arrived at Hangu Pass in less than half a day, Ma Teng gave an order, immediately urged the three armies to attack the city, for a time, the horn sounded in unison, the drum shook the sky, the Xiliang army covered the sky and covered the sun, and rushed to Hangu Pass like a tide, outside the city wall was not long before the siege ladder was set up, Ma Chao Ma Dai fought bravely, the Xiliang army attacked fiercely, all were not afraid of death, although Hangu Pass was a dangerous pass, but, under the shock of the Xiliang army, The three thousand soldiers guarding the pass are also unstable and demoralized, and they have no confidence at all, fortunately Guan Yu came in time, otherwise, Hangu Pass is afraid that it will also change hands.

Knowing that Guan Yu rushed to support, he still did not scare off the Xiliang army. Ma Chao is young and competitive, immediately came to Ma Teng, asked to suspend the siege, he wants to fight with Guan Yu in front of the battle, with a strong reputation, Ma Chao's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he is also quite confident in his marksmanship, he thinks very simply, that is, to kill Guan Yu, it is not easy to seize the pass.

Ma Chao is strong in blood and strong in morale, Guan Yu is also proud of the world, pretentious, I heard that Ma Chao was fighting in front of the battle, Guan Yu had long hair, and smiled coldly, "Ignorant child, don't measure yourself, wait for a certain family to go out of the city for a while, so that Ma Chao child knows, what is called outside the sky, there are people outside the world!" ”

The deputy general on the side also wanted to dissuade Guan Yu, as long as he stood still on the city tower, Hangu Pass would be foolproof, there was no need to fight with Ma Chao in front of the formation, Guan Yu glanced back at the deputy general, his eyes were shining, he was not angry and arrogant, and the heart of the deputy general was cold, and cold sweat was dripping behind his back.

Guan Yu sneered proudly, "Ma Chao is just a yellow-toothed son, if I don't fight behind closed doors, won't I be ridiculed, hum, don't say it's Ma Chao, even if Lu Bu comes, I'm not afraid!" ”

After speaking, Guan Yu strode down the city tower with the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and it didn't take long for the city gate to open, and he only brought five hundred soldiers Guan Yu out of Hangu Pass!

Straddling the horse with a knife, Guan Yufeng's eyes closed slightly, coldly swept the camp of the Xiliang Army opposite, and then looked at Ma Chao, and saw that it was a white-faced posterity, the raw powder face was handsome, his eyes were like Lang Xing, his eyebrows were delicate, not at all like the rough and fierce Qiang people, the disdain on Guan Yu's face was a little stronger, the corners of his mouth glanced lightly, and he snorted coldly, "Who is coming?" Dare to cross the border and come to make trouble? ”

"You are Guan Yu? Guan Yunchang? Hmph, prick up your ears, a certain Xiliang Ma Chao is also, come on, come on, come here, let you understand how powerful Ma Chao is. ”
