Guan Yu turned over and dismounted, handed the reins of the red rabbit horse to Jiang Wei, and said solemnly:

"This place is one hundred and fifty miles away from Wuxian County, and it is hard to walk one person and two horses, walk overnight, find Zilong as soon as possible, and ask him to quickly lead the troops to help."

Jiang Wei took it with both hands and said with a straight face: "This is a matter within the general's share." It's just a matter of defending the city......"

Guan Yu said: "It is rumored that the mountain road in Xingshan is narrow, and the terrain can be regarded as a husband and a man. A certain summoned hundreds of dead soldiers to the north to Xingshan and chose a place to fortify. In this way, the Wei army must not be allowed to advance. ”

Jiang Wei said in his heart, clearing the fog, it can almost be concluded that the Wei army is the real main force along the way; As the so-called comers are not good, the preparation of this road must be very sufficient, if they are allowed to enter the flat ground and calmly unfold the posture, the short and simple Zigui City may not be able to defend it with a few thousand soldiers.

The only way to go up the mountain, block the entrance with geographical advantages, and wait for reinforcements to arrive is the only way at the moment.

In addition, he had no better reason for a while, and the only thing he could do was to find Zhao Yun as soon as possible and recruit reinforcements as soon as possible.

Jiang Wei did not hesitate, and after bowing down and clenching his fists, he rode two horses and left.

Soon after he left, the guard Liao Hua opened the door to greet him.

Just as he was about to salute, Guan Yu stretched out his hand to interrupt and asked, "Let me ask you, how many guards are there in the city?" ”

Seeing his solemn expression, Liao Hua immediately replied: "Two thousand Fangling soldiers, one thousand Yizhou county soldiers, a total of three thousand." ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he frowned.

This go to Xingshan to fortify, it is a narrow road encounter, only the brave can win.

Not to mention him, the soldiers of Yizhou County, he knows the combat power of the Fangling soldiers, and it is okay for these people to fight a good fight, if they want to fight a hard battle and a tough battle, it is not half a star.

In distress, Liao Hua patted his head and said, "Look at the memory of lowly duties...... The soldiers of the school knife battalion who broke through with the army and were injured again also received treatment in Zigui City, and they were raised for more than a month, and now more than 300 brothers have almost recovered. ”

When Guan Yu heard this, Danfeng's eyes widened slightly: "Yuan Jian quickly went to gather the soldiers of the school sword battalion, ordered them to wear swords and armor, and gather here after a stick of incense." ”

Liao Hua felt a sense of foreboding in his heart, and asked, "What happened?" ”

Guan Yu said: "Let's talk about it when we are here, Hugh will be noisy again, go quickly!" ”

Governor Liao Huaqing was very important, and he immediately took the order.

Peace was restored to the gates.

Guan Yu found a clean stone under the seat and looked into the distance.

In the eye, the big river goes east, and the remnant sun is like blood.

The sun was quietly approaching the horizon, and the clouds on the horizon burned from east to west, and the sky seemed to be on fire.

The road ahead is bleak, but seeing this situation, Guan Yu's heart suddenly rose with a monstrous battle intent.

After a while, as the sound of rustling footsteps and the sound of armor clashing and rubbing became heavier, Liao Hua had already led three hundred heavily armed soldiers to arrive, saluted him in unison, and Xiang Lang also heard the news.

These are all siblings who have been living and dying all the way from Maicheng, but Guan Yu can't care about greeting them at the moment.

He walked straight up to everyone and roughly explained Cao Cao's possible attack on Zigui through the Shennong-Xingshan Mountain Road.

When everyone heard this, they all changed color.

Guan Yu Zhengse said: "I summoned you to rush to Xingshan Trail to set up defenses and block the Wei soldiers with the help of the terrain. This can be described as a life of nine deaths, but it is also a matter of life and death for the Han Dynasty...... In this trip, it is not enough to die as if it were alive. ”

"Say it once, who doesn't want to go, take a step back!"

He used his eyes to scan the soldiers in the field, but he saw that everyone was holding their heads high and not moving; All of them had a resolute expression on their faces.

Zhou Cang laughed and said, "This is my good man!" “

Guan Yu slowly bowed his head, waved his big hand, and shouted: "Let's go!" “

Liao Hua hurriedly said to Xiang Lang: "Xiang Taishou, Hua Yi will go to the prince." Zigui City Defense will be entrusted to you. “

At that moment, a group of more than 300 people were fully armed, and under the leadership of local guides, they found the entrance to Xingshan ten miles north of Zigui City, lined up in a long column, and went north.

Speeding all the way, soon entering a dangerous road.

But seeing that the mountain rock is steep and circling in a roundabout way, everyone only feels that the more they walk, the more sinister it becomes.

The other side of the mountain road is a few steps away from the cliff, and under the cliff is a deep valley, and the deep valley is full of smoke.

Xu is because the sky is getting darker, how can he not look to the end, Liao Hua looked at it, it was like walking in the clouds, his heart couldn't help but panic, and his legs couldn't help but weaken.

Even though the guide who opened the way had been living in the mountains since he was a child, he followed the trend at this time, and walked extremely carefully.

After walking for a few miles, everyone was already in a cold sweat, and a few of them were paralyzed on the ground, almost unable to continue walking.

Guan Yu's face did not change, and he said in a deep voice: "Light the torch and continue to move forward." ”

The group was silently circling upwards for more than ten miles, and suddenly a narrow road appeared in front of everyone.

Guan Yu quickly leaned out to investigate, only to see that only four or five people could be placed in parallel in the narrow and wide places, and only two people could be in parallel in the narrow places; Through the narrow road, the front is convenient and cheerful, and a flat ground can be tied to thousands of people.

He summoned his guide and asked, "What is this?" ”

The guide replied: "General Hui, this place is called Longmen Throat, and according to legend, it is the throat left behind by the Dragon King after he ascended to heaven. “

Guan Yu bowed slightly, looked at it for a while, and then ordered: "A certain view of the wall here is a thousand blades, and the sky is open, which is a terrain where one man is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open. The order was given, the soldiers rushed to build fortifications overnight, and I waited here for the arrival of the Wei army! ”

"No!" The school knife soldier behind him suddenly agreed.

Liao Hua followed Guan Yu for a long time, knowing that Guan Yu's habit was to dig fortifications as soon as he arrived at a place, and he was shouting loudly to arrange tasks one by one.

The soldiers began to spontaneously collect things such as rolling logs and stones, and the scene suddenly became hot.

When the sky was almost dark, Guan Yu was isolated on a mountain rock, squinting his beard, looking north, letting the mountain wind blow his burqa and hunt.

Although he didn't want to admit Lu Xun's feelings, he had to admit that Lu Xun's concerns were finally reasonable.

Guan Yu has been dealing with Cao Cao for many years, and knows Cao Cao's false and real ideas, the more there is no movement on the surface of the Dangyang camp, the more likely it is that the Wei army will sneak attack Zigui.

What's more, with the ambush of Deng Aibu on the way here, he was even more sure that the Wei army must be rushing to return this time!

If the elder brother and himself are still slow to be disposed of in the Yiling area, then it is very likely that in a few days, they will receive the news that Zigui has been lost.

Zigui is not only a grain road, but also a way back.

The army is outside, and it carries nearly 100,000 people, and people eat horses and chew every day, which is extremely expensive, and the tens of thousands of stone grain and grass sent by Sun Quan in the early stage can only support it for a few days?

Once the grain route and the return route are cut off, the soldiers will definitely be in an uproar, after all, the battle of Guandu is not far away.

He wouldn't allow anything like that to happen under any circumstances.

Guan Yu turned around and looked at the soldiers who were in full swing, and sighed slightly:

"It's still too late."

He raised his eyes again to look at the north, his face sinking like water, and said in his heart: "So, where are you at this moment...... You... Will it come? ”
