Jiang Wei held a torch in his hand, rode in two by one, wore stars and moons, and finally arrived in Wuxian County, one hundred and fifty miles away, on the second day.

It was already dark and late at night, and the county seat of Wuxian County had already had four scriptures.

Jiang Wei summoned the guards, revealed his identity, and asked Zhao Yun about the movement of reinforcements. The guard only said that he had not yet arrived and had not seen it.

Jiang Wei was so anxious that he didn't stop at all, and went up the Yangtze River without stopping, and went straight to Yufu County, three hundred miles away.

The red rabbit horse and the little white horse are both good horses in a thousand miles, galloping by the firelight, and finally when the sky is just dawning, a huge fleet is found on the Yangtze River, fifty miles west of Wu County.

In his own territory, and with such a large fleet, who else could he be besides Zhao Yun and five thousand Brazilian soldiers?

Jiang Wei didn't hesitate any longer, and shouted loudly: "Where is General Zhao?" Jiang Wei is here! ”

His shouts were so piercing in the wilderness that in an instant the boats were lit up, and there was a tumult on the river.

One of the big ships poked out a silver-armored general at the bow of the ship, and replied in a deep voice: "This general is Zhao Yun, but the person who came is Boyo?" ”

Jiang Wei was overjoyed, ran for the voice, and shouted: "General Zhao, it is the last general, there is an urgent report!" ”

After a while, Zhao Yun led a general who was less than thirty years old to rush to Jiang Wei's side.

Before the two sides had time to salute, Zhao Yun immediately asked intently: "Is there a change in the battle situation ahead?" ”

Jiang Wei turned over and dismounted, and he didn't care about saluting, and hurriedly said: "Zigui is in a hurry!" General Zhao also asks for quick support! ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly said to the young general on the side: "Dexin, quickly wake up the soldiers, unload all the grain and grass on the ship, leave a hundred people to guard, and the others will all follow me after gathering!" ”

The young man responded with a fist clenched and strode away.

Zhao Yun took out a water bladder from his waist again, handed it to the panting Jiang Wei, and said with concern: "Drink saliva first, and talk slowly, what's going on?" ”

Jiang Wei rushed for a day and a night, the rice and water did not enter, the stomach was really hungry, and he was not polite at the moment, after taking the water bladder, he drank it in three or two sips, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then said roughly about Cao Cao's sneak attack on Zigui City, and Guan Yu led the school knife camp into the mountain to intercept it.

Zhao Yun heard it and sighed: "Fortunately, Yun Chang stepped forward, and you reported the news overnight, otherwise I would have been carrying grain slowly on the river, and I wouldn't have been able to reach Zigui in three days." ”

Jiang Wei hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that there are few princes and marquis, and it won't last long." ”

Zhao Yun comforted: "You don't have to worry, this place is more than two hundred miles away from Zigui, and the fleet will be lightly armed in battle, and it will be down the river again, and it will arrive early tomorrow morning." Yun Chang only needs to hold on for a day and a night. He is known as the enemy of ten thousand people, and he comes and goes freely among all the hosts, if he does not want to die, who else in the world can take his life? ”

Jiang Wei saw that Zhao Yun was so determined, and his mood recovered slightly.

He suddenly remembered that the young general named "Dexin" was very unfamiliar, and he didn't seem to have any impression, so he asked, "Who is Fang Cai?" ”

Zhao Yun replied: "That is the magistrate of Hanchang County of Brazil County, Ma Zhong Ma Dexin, known as a martial artist, and was ordered by Yan Zhi, the Taishou of Brazil County, to lead 5,000 county soldiers to help in the war. ”

Jiang Wei slowly bowed his head, it turned out that he was the famous Ma Zhong in history.

About half an hour later, the sky was a little brighter again. Ma Zhong came back to resume his life, only saying that he had made preparations.

Zhao Yun immediately beckoned Jiang Wei to get on the boat.

Ma Zhong was very enthusiastic and helped Jiang Wei settle the two mounts.

Looking at the getting brighter and brighter outside, Jiang Wei suddenly asked, "What day is today?" ”

Ma Zhong was stunned for a moment, measured his body, and replied: "February 2, the dragon raises its head!" ”

******

When it is ugly, Xingshan, Longmen throat.

The day before, the Wei army successively adopted the methods of smoking, shooting, and wheel warfare, which lasted five hours before and after, and the soldiers of the Han army were exhausted.

The situation was extremely intense, and the Wei army ascended before dark, and once attacked the Longmen Throat, and was finally repelled because Guan Yu personally went into battle.

Xu Huang didn't want Guan Yu to be tenacious, this was already a desperate posture; It was also getting late, so he had to lead the army back and prepare to attack again tomorrow.

It was dark, dawn had not yet arrived, and the Han army camped.

Their soldiers suffered heavy casualties, half of the 300 men were killed on the spot, and the remaining half were wounded, and all of them were exhausted, and many of them had lost the strength to cry out in pain, and they all fell into a deep sleep.

Guan Yu was alone, towering on a mountain cliff, with a sea of clouds in front of him, although it was difficult to see, he could still feel that the moist clouds were surging.

He thought about it a lot.

from the Taoyuan uprising to the scene of the three brothers crisscrossing the Central Plains; from the birth of the eldest son Guan Ping to the marriage of the youngest daughter Yinping; From the successive victories of the Northern Expedition to the sadness and helplessness of being trapped in Wheat City.

Lucky to invite the sky, I thought it was a mortal situation, but I killed a small general out of thin air, saved him and a group of loyal soldiers, taught him that he still had a chance to meet his brother and third brother again, and even defeated Sun Quan on the battlefield with dignity, out of his heart!

It's not in vain.

It's just that his thoughts drifted to the back, and Mi Fang's dying words were like a poisonous spell, suppressing all the beautiful scenes and not appearing in his mind.

I still remember that day, Mi Fang's hair was scattered, like a mad demon.

"I dedicated Jiangling and ruined the great cause of the lord, but don't forget, this is all forced by you! Here's half the credit for that, too! You, Guan Yunchang, are also a sinner of the Great Han! ”

"Hahahaha, under my Mifang Jiuquan, I will also open my eyes wide, and look at Guan Yunchang, who claims to be a hero and a loyal martyr, this time I lost Jingzhou, and when I see Zhuge Kongming and Yang Weigong in Shu, what kind of expression should I make!"

Is Mi Fang wrong? Jingzhou was finally lost in his hands.

"Yes, at this point, you call yourself a hero, what face do you have to be in Shu? What else to take to see Zhuge Kongming, Yang Weigong, and Jiang Gongyan's juniors......"

Guan Yu's thoughts turned back and forth, and when he thought of this, he only made a long sigh.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him. When Guan Yu heard the rhythm, he knew that it should be Liaohua.

Seeing that Liao Hua froze in two steps on his body, he hugged his fists and said, "Junhou, the brothers can't hold it anymore." We have been holding out for a day and a night, and the reinforcements should have arrived, so it is better to withdraw while it is still dark. ”

Guan Yu turned around and said slowly: "Yes, as soon as the morning dawns, Cao Cao will launch a general attack...... Yuan Jian, there is still something to do, please help me pass on a message. ”

Liao Hua has served Guan Yu for many years, why can't he hear that Guan Yu has the idea of dying with the enemy?

He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said hurriedly: "Prince, if you have made up your mind, you will accompany you here, and you will not go anywhere!" ”

Guan Yu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You have been with a certain person for many years, and you know your intentions, get up and speak." ”

When Liao Hua heard this, a feeling of sorrow suddenly appeared in his heart, he knelt down two steps, hugged Guan Yu's thigh, and cried:

"If the prince wants to pass the message, just find someone else, and he is only willing to follow the prince!"

Guan Yu sighed darkly, suddenly turned pale, and shouted, "Don't you listen to a certain word?" Get up, what a little girl is doing with your mother-in-law! ”

Liao Hua saw that he was angry, so he had no choice but to stand up, and his body was still twitching.

Guan Yu turned his back to him, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, as if reminiscing, and after a long time, Fang said:

"When you meet the lord, let me say that meeting him is the greatest blessing in my Guan Yu's life...... Also, so-and-so can't stand him, please take care of him......"

As soon as his words fell, Liao Hua's slightly calmed mood became sad again, and a big man couldn't hold back and cried.

Guan Yu didn't hear it, and said straightforwardly: "Tell Yide again, when you are old, you will drink less wine, and don't whip the soldiers around you again." It was because he was not kind to the people around him that he made a big mistake, please take him as a warning......."

After a pause, he asked again: "Yuan Jian, have you written it down?" ”

Liao Hua burst into tears and nodded heavily.

Guan Yu turned around, untied the saber at his waist, and pulled the knife out of its sheath with a "poof", and the cold light was shining.

While caressing the blade of the knife, he said slowly: "This knife is made of iron from a certain pro-mining Dushan, and the inscription says: 10,000 people." To the sun is unparalleled in the world. ”

After staring for a long time, he put the knife into the sheath and solemnly handed it over to Liao Hua.

"Previously, Dingguo (Guan Pingzi) asked for this knife several times, but he was reluctant to give it to him at that time. And I will lend thy hand this sword to him today. ”

"You told Dingguo that although he never praised him on weekdays, he saw everything he did. Dingguo He ...... is worthy of being the son of my Guan Yunchang, this knife is the only one he can inherit! ”

sighed, and said: "Tell Dingguo, take care of your younger brothers and sisters..... and that's all you say, Yuan Jian, while the sky is still dark, you can go by yourself." ”

This was the last order given to him by Guan Yu, and even if Liao Hua was reluctant, he had to endure the torment and obey.

He took a deep breath, knelt on the ground again, knocked his head three times, then got up, looked back in three steps, wept and waved his hand, and the thin figure finally disappeared on the dark mountain path, but the terrible cry was in the ears, or without interruption.

Guan Yu stood for a long time and stretched out his hand to summon Zhou Cang.

"A certain intention has been decided, and I will fight to the death with Cao Cao tomorrow. Zhou Cang, you lead the brothers who can still go, and go down with Yuan Jian. ”

Zhou Cang's eyes widened, and he said in an urn voice: "How can the prince and the prince in the heavens and the earth have no one to lead the horse and hold the stirrup?" If I change someone else, I don't feel at ease! ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he slapped him on the shoulder, and only spit out the word "good" in his mouth.

Xu is Fang Cai Liao Hua cried too loudly, waking up many soldiers who had already fallen asleep.

By the time Guan Yu and Zhou Cang returned to their positions, more than 100 of the remaining soldiers of the school knife battalion had already woken up and besieged the city.

A general, who was about forty years old and dressed as a leader, walked out of the crowd, clenched his fists and choked up:

"Jun Hou, what you said to Uncle Zhou, the villain heard it...... The villain has followed you since the time of Xinye, and he has never frowned in the sword and fire! This life is like this, and the next life will come to you to be a soldier! Please don't drive us away, let me wait to fight to the death! With that, he got down on one knee and clenched his fists.

The soldiers behind him knelt down in unison and shouted, "I'm waiting for this!" ”

Zhou Cang pounced on him and laughed: "Good brother! All good brothers! There is a response on Huangquan Road, and it is not in vain! Oops, what a cry! Be brothers in this life, and be brothers together in the next life! ”

Guan Yu's eyes suddenly moistened, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, but he couldn't help but give his hand.
