"Work hard, it's going to Gangneung." Seeing that Guan Ping was loudly cheering for the soldiers who were hurrying, Guan Yu couldn't help but show a smile of relief. For Guan Ping, Guan Yu has always felt indebted, he killed people in a fit of anger, leaving their mother and son to live a difficult life, and later although the family was reunited, Guan Ping was old at that time, and missed the best opportunity to practice martial arts to lay a foundation, and Guan Ping could not reach what he had learned in his life.

And the more this is the case, the more Guan Yu feels sorry for Guan Ping, Guan Ping's qualifications are not mediocre, if he accepts Guan Yu's guidance since he was a child, he may not become the second Guan Yu in the future, but it is because he has been killing people and absconding for so many years that Guan Ping, who could have become a super-first-class general, can only be an ordinary general, and Guan Yu feels sorry for Guan Ping when he thinks of this.

In terms of martial arts, Guan Ping is no longer expected to reach his own level, but the ability to lead the army can be cultivated the day after tomorrow, Guan Ping has always been taken by Guan Yu's side, and he has no intention of cultivating Guan Ping's ability to lead troops. Now seeing Guan Ping running back and forth to boost morale, Guan Yu suddenly felt very relieved.

……

Seeing Jiangling City, this defeated army, including Guan Yu, invariably breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, finally arrived at the place, and was frightened along the way, even if they were sleeping, they had to keep their eyes open, for fear that the Han army's pursuers would rush to kill themselves by surprise, and now they are finally about to arrive in Jiangling City, and they can finally sleep peacefully.

"Dingguo, go and inform Mi Zhu to open the door." Guan Yu instructed Guan Ping.

Guan Ping received the order, led the two of them to the gate of Jiangling City, and shouted loudly to the city: "Listen to the people in the city, open the city gate quickly." ”

"Who are you?" After waiting for a while, someone finally appeared at the head of the city to ask questions.

Guan Ping didn't sign up for his surname before, because he felt that he was the son of Guan Yu, and he was also a household name in Jiangling City, and his face was a pass, but he didn't want to be asked.

"I am Guan Ping, the son of General Guan Yuguan, and I was ordered to come and call the door. If you don't know who I am, you can quickly invite Lord Mi Zhu to come. ”

"Guan Ping? So Guan Yu is outside the city? ”

"Presumptuous, what is your identity, dare to call my father's name and surname." Guan Ping was furious, and at the same time secretly alert in his heart.

"Hahaha~ Isn't the name of a person just for people, Guan Yu is not my father-in-law, what am I polite to him?" There was a burst of laughter from the city, and when Guan Ping saw the big flag raised at the city, he couldn't help but shout that it was not good, and turned his head and ran back.

"Guan Ping, since you're here, why hurry to go, look at the arrows!" Wei Yan, the head of the city, shouted, bent his bow and shot at Guan Ping, who was fleeing, but unfortunately Guan Ping was already on guard, and when he heard the sound of breaking the air behind him, he immediately turned to one side and avoided the vital point, but he was still hit by an arrow in his back.

Guan Yu, who was waiting for the opening of Jiangling City, hurriedly stepped forward when he saw this, and after checking Guan Ping's injuries and finding that there was no major problem, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, Mi Zhu of Gangneung has surrendered to the enemy." Guan Ping said to Guan Yu in frustration.

"I know it for the Father." Guan Yu nodded, looking at the Jiangling city wall, he only had more than 5,000 people in his hands at the moment, and after leaving from Maicheng, he collected nearly 2,000 defeated troops along the way, but even if there were 5,000 people, that is, there was no food and grass and no siege equipment, and it was not easy to take Jiangling City, which was high and deep. What's more, the Han army pursuers don't know when they will arrive, in case they are leading people to attack the city, and the Han army pursuers will kill later, then it will not be a dilemma.

"Father, what shall we do?" Guan Ping asked softly.

“…… The order went down, and the team bypassed Gangneung and headed for Yiling. Guan Yu pondered for a moment and instructed Guan Pingdao. Going to Yiling is also a helpless move, now that Jiangling has surrendered to the enemy, Guan Yu wants to return to Jingnan, either cross the river through Yiling, or go south to cross the river through Chuyang. It's just that Jiangling has surrendered, and Jiangxia, who did not send reinforcements before, has also surrendered to the enemy. Relatively speaking, it is safer to go to Yiling.

I thought that I could take a good rest when I arrived in Jiangling, and I didn't want Jiangling to have surrendered to the enemy and turned them away, but before Guan Yu could take people out of Jiangling, the pursuers of the Han army were killed at this time. The Han army came from the direction of Yiling, Guan Yu saw this and had to lead the remnants to retreat to Chuyang, but the Han army was very anxious, Guan Yu's men were already hungry and lacking, how could they have the strength to block the Han army's pursuers, Guan Yu had to flee all the way east with the remnants of the defeated soldiers who could still keep up, and when he got rid of the chasing soldiers and counted the number of people, the original five thousand men and horses were now less than 100 people.

"Father......" Guan Ping didn't know how to comfort his father at this time, so he had to look at Guan Yu with concerned eyes. Seeing this, Guan Yu reached out and patted Guan Ping's shoulder, signaling that he was fine. Guan Yu is a strong man, he knows that his current situation is very dangerous, and the continuous pursuit of the Han army has destroyed the will to fight of his soldiers and horses. Just when he was running for his life, Guan Yu saw more than once that a soldier threw the weapon in his hand, and the person went to the ground and stopped running.

"Let's find a hidden place to rest for a while, and send someone to look around, just in time to find someone to ask where we are at this time." Guan Yu instructed Zhao Leidao.

"Don't worry, general, his subordinates will send someone to do it." Zhao Lei agreed, turned around and went to arrange Guan Yu's explanation. Guan Yu pulled Guan Ping aside to treat Guan Ping's injuries. Although the arrow in Guan Ping's back did not hurt the vital point, if it was not treated in time, it was possible that a small injury would become a serious injury.

More than 100 people were divided into two teams to take turns to rest, and after Guan Yu dealt with Guan Ping's injury, he found a place to close his eyes and recuperate. Guan Ping couldn't stay idle, and took a dozen people into the nearby woods to find some food to satisfy his hunger. The food brought out from Maicheng had already been eaten up, and I thought that I could get supplies in Jiangling, but I didn't expect that there would be another incident of Jiangling surrendering to the enemy.

Guan Yu seems to close his eyes and recuperate, but his brain has not been idle, and he is in a bad situation now, and he cannot afford to make the slightest mistake. Guan Yu was not in the mood to think about why Mi Zhu had defected to the enemy, and his immediate priority was to consider how he would return to Jingnan.

Guan Ping had been in the woods for a long time, and the scouts sent out by Zhao Lei had all returned, and he didn't see Guan Ping come out of the woods with people. Guan Yu, who was worried that Guan Ping would encounter an accident, couldn't help but get up and prepare to go into the woods in person, and saw that Guan Ping came back with a half-sized wild boar at this time.

"Father, the child is back." Guan Ping ran to Guan Yu's side and said excitedly.

"But you're hurt?" Guan Yu asked with concern.

"It's a little bit of skin, and it's out of the way."

More than 100 people shared a wild boar of one and a half size, and when it was distributed to everyone, there would not be much, at most they would be full of water. But after pouring a bowl of hot broth, the stomach can be regarded as a little hot, and Guan Yu's gang can be regarded as alive.

"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, get on the horse and leave with me." Guan Yu turned over and got on his horse and commanded left and right.

Guan Ping faithfully carried out Guan Yu's order, but Zhao Lei and the others were a little reluctant to move, and everyone was tired and unbearable, how could they still have the strength to accompany Guan Yu to continue to escape. But the order was difficult to disobey, since Guan Yu had spoken, they could only listen, struggled to climb on horseback, and followed Guan Yu listlessly.

The scouts sent out earlier found nothing, and Guan Yu didn't know where this place was, but based on the distance, it was estimated that his people were currently active in the Huarong area. After clarifying the direction, Guan Yu led the people to move eastward, planning to rest for two days after rushing to Chuyang, and then set off south to return to Jingnan after everyone had eased their spirits.

The mountain road is rugged, walking in the middle of the two mountains, Guan Yu looked at the mountains on both sides, and couldn't help but be frightened, if there is a Han army ambush here, I am afraid that these people will only be captured.

As the saying goes, if a person is unlucky, he will stuff his teeth when he drinks cold water. Guan Yu just had the idea of an ambush here in his mind, when he heard a sudden sound of gongs on both sides of the mountain road, followed by heavily armed Han soldiers rushing down from the mountain.

"Let's go, let's go!" Guan Yu was in a hurry and shouted urgently.

Relying on the speed of the horse, Guan Yu rushed out of the encirclement with dozens of people, and Zhao Lei, who had been following him since Maicheng, was trapped in the formation this time, and I am afraid that there will be more than one luck. Guan Yu wanted to turn around and save him, but was desperately stopped by Guan Ping. finally got out of danger, how could he turn back and get into the tiger's mouth by himself.

Guan Yu continued to move forward with a dozen people dejectedly, this time he learned well, no longer took the mountain road, but took people to climb the mountain, and did not go to Chuyang, replenished the supplies on the spot, and returned to Jingnan directly over the mountains and mountains, as long as he arrived at the riverside and found a boat to cross the river, it would be safe.

Climbing a mountain is a very tiring activity, people often say that Wangshan runs a dead horse, Guan Yu and others are a strong spirit, and after finally climbing a mountain, even Guan Yu is a little unbearable, sitting on the ground and panting.

"Father, look! Look! Guan Ping suddenly shouted to Guan Yu with surprise and joy. Looking in the direction pointed by Guan Ping, he saw a smoke rising in the distance.

"Father, let's go over there and have a look, maybe we can eat something to satisfy our hunger." Guan Ping excitedly suggested.

“…… Dingguo, how do you conclude that the smoke is not a trick of the Han army to lure the enemy? Guan Yu didn't move, and asked Guan Pingdao.

Guan Ping was stunned when he heard this, no one dared to guarantee that the Han army ambushed in this area had only one way, in case the Han army waited for a long time for his people to come, and deliberately lit a cooking cigarette to lure his people over, it was not impossible to do so.

"Father, what are we going to do then?"

"Ignore it and keep going." After Guan Yu finished speaking, he stood up and led the horse in front, Guan Ping greeted everyone when he saw this, and followed Guan Yu to continue to climb the mountain.

Just walked like this for a while and rested for a while, and when the moon was in the middle of the sky, Guan Yu and the others had just crossed the three mountains. I really can't walk, Guan Yu at this time, only Guan Ping is left around, and everyone else is left behind. Guan Yu didn't go to the strength of the people, if he couldn't walk, then stay, with today's people, it is estimated that there will be no such thing as killing prisoners and risking merit.

Guan Ping found a sheltered place and cooked a hare and two pheasants that he encountered on the way, and brought them to Guan Yu. Two people can share these things, but they can mix and be full. In order to prevent being discovered by the Han army, the Guan family father and son did not dare to light a bonfire, and it was dangerous to spend the night in the woods, for safety reasons, the Guan family father and son tied their horses to the tree, and they went up the tree and took turns to rest.

Guan Yu asked Guan Ping to sleep first, and he stayed for the first half of the night, looking at the vast mountains, Guan Yu's thoughts fluctuated, his heart was full of emotions, and all kinds of tastes came to his heart. There is not only regret for not listening to good words, but also regret for losing Jingbei. If he had followed his brother's advice, he would not have ended up where he is today.

Just thinking about how to remedy his mistakes, he suddenly heard a burst of dog barking in the distance, Guan Yu hurriedly followed the sound, and saw countless fires flickering in the woods.

"Dingguo, wake up quickly." Guan Yu hurriedly pushed Guan Ping and called softly. I didn't want Guan Ping to be overworked, so I wasn't woken up by Guan Yu. Guan Yu raised his hand and gave Guan Ping a slap in a hurry, and then Guan Ping woke up, but his expression was still very dazed, and he looked at his father puzzled.

"If there is an enemy, quickly follow your father down the tree to fetch the horses." Guan Yu explained as he unfastened his belt. In order to prevent themselves from falling from the tree when they went up the tree before, the Guan family father and son each tied themselves to the tree with their belts.

The howling dog's bark was getting closer and closer, and after Guan Yu and Guan Ping got off the tree, they untied their horses, and they didn't care about distinguishing the direction, but just looked at the weak direction of the dog's voice and fled, until they couldn't hear the dog's barking anymore, and the Guan family father and son stopped. It's just that in this way, the two don't know where they are at this time.

The two of them didn't dare to walk around at this time, although it was not difficult for the Guan family father and son to kill a few Han army pursuers, but the problem was that the ghost knew how many people the Han army sent to search the mountain in order to capture their father and son. Once your whereabouts are exposed, it will not be easy to get rid of them. In order to avoid startling the snakes, the Guan family father and son found a tree hole and hid in it, while the horses hid in the woods.

stayed up like this until dawn, and came out of the hole in the tree where he was hiding, and Guan Yu began to identify his position at this time. If you want to return to Jingnan, you just need to go all the way south, and the sun rises in the east, and it is not difficult to distinguish the direction. The difficulty lies in how to evade the Han army's arrest. Judging from the situation last night, the Han army even used hunting dogs, which undoubtedly showed the determination of the Han army to capture their father and son.

Be careful, be careful, be cautious, be cautious, even if Guan Yu was extremely careful, but in the end, he was ruined by his own mount. Of course, Guan Yu's mount is not a red rabbit horse, but Cao Cao spent enough money to make Guan Yu return to his heart, and when he saw that the horse that Guan Yu was riding was not good, he bought a thousand-mile horse from the north and gave it to Guan Yu. It's a pity that Guan Yu still left Cao Cao and asked Cao Cao's bamboo basket to fetch water.

The Red Charcoal Fire Dragon Pony is a BMW, quite spiritual, compared to Liu Bei's Lu, Zhang Fei's Wu Ma is better. But a horse is a horse after all, it is not a human, and although it knows that its owner is hiding his whereabouts at the moment, it is still startled when it is galloped by an unknown small animal.

The neighing of a horse was enough to attract the attention of the Han army, who were searching in the woods. Guan Yu knew that his whereabouts were revealed, and it was useless to continue to hide, and he was about to get on his horse and fight with the Han army to fight his way out, but he saw Guan Ping turn over and get on his horse, and while beating his horse and running towards the other side of the woods, he shouted loudly.

Guan Ping's intention was obvious, that is, to lure the Han army to chase after him with his body. Guan Yu has always bled without tears, but at this time, he was in tears, looking at the direction where his son disappeared and was speechless for a long time. When all the noise was gone, Guan Yu wiped the corners of his eyes, turned over and rode south.

……

The mountain road was difficult to walk, Guan Yu walked towards the south for five days, and finally never saw the Han army again, which was a little relieved. At this time, Guan Yu was very embarrassed, the beautiful hair that he valued very much was already dirty at this time, and Guan Yu tied the hair with a strip of cloth and wrapped it around his neck in order to facilitate his movement.

The clothes on his body are dirty and torn, and one of the combat boots on his feet has been cracked, Guan Yu with this kind of image, if he appeared in front of people, no one would believe that this was Guan Yu, the general under Liu Bei. The only one who can prove Guan Yu's identity is probably the Green Dragon Glaive Knife.

See the smoke again! Guan Yu, who felt that he had escaped from the pursuit of the Han army, could no longer resist the temptation, and led the horse in the direction where the smoke rose. After passing through the woods and seeing a small village nestled in the mountains and forests, Guan Yu walked towards the small village.

The village is a little quirky! After entering the village, Guan Yu found that there was no one in the village, but looking at the furnishings in the residents' homes, it didn't look like they were uninhabited. Guan Yu, who wanted to find someone to ask where this place was, walked towards the residents in the village who were smoking from the cooking.

In front of this house was a small courtyard, and someone was roasting meat around a bonfire, but after Guan Yu saw the person's appearance clearly, he just wanted to turn around and run away.

It turned out to be Liu Xie!

"Guan Yunchang, the person who came is a guest, since they have all appeared, do you think there is still a chance to run away now?" Before Liu Xie's words fell, the Han army, who had been ambushed around, appeared with bows and crossbows in hand and forced Guan Yu into the small courtyard.

Guan Yu tightened the Qinglong Glaive Knife in his hand, and estimated the distance between himself and Liu Xie in his heart, but before he could act, he saw Dian Wei and Pang De each carrying two jars of wine and walked out of the house and stood behind Liu Xie.

In normal times, Guan Yu still had the confidence to hit Liu Xie hard even if he didn't want to fight with his life, but now he was in a hurry, hungry and thirsty, and weak, even if he tried hard, he couldn't break through the joint efforts of Dian Wei and Pang De.

"Guan Yunchang, are you interested in having a drink with me?" Liu Xie opened his mouth and invited.

"......" Guan Yu was silent for a moment, threw away the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, tidied up his clothes, and strode to the opposite side of Liu Xie and sat down.

Seeing this, Liu Xie smiled slightly, signaled to Dian Wei, and threw a jar of wine over, Guan Yu reached out to catch it, patted off the wine seal, lifted it up is a cow drink, drank the small half of the jar in one go, and shouted, "Good wine." ”

"Huh...... Wine is naturally good wine, and this meat is not bad. Liu Xie said with a smile.

took the plate brought by Pang De, Guan Yu was not polite, ate meat, and occasionally raised the altar to drink with Liu Xie. When he was full of wine and food, Guan Yu wiped the wine stains on his beautiful hair, and said to Liu Xie: "Thank you for the gift." ”

“…… Any other wishes? Liu Xie asked with a smile.

“…… Will you spare my brother's life? Guan Yu was silent for a moment when he heard this, and asked in a low voice.

"Yun Chang's request makes me embarrassed, there is no two days in the sky, there are no two monarchs in the country, since he has chosen this path, he must have the consciousness to pay the price."

“…… That being the case, Guan has nothing else to ask for. ”
