The sun pecked through the clouds and came out, and the city slowly revealed itself in the darkness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the city of E, Guan Yu was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, Zhou Cang and Liao Hua were standing on the left and right, and Xu Shu was standing not far from Guan Yu watching the sunrise. Guan Yu glanced at Xu Shu and reached out to touch the blade.

Then the soldiers and horses under the city began to surge, only to see Ma Hong riding a white horse under the escort of the blood soldiers of the red armor, slowly to the brother of the city wall, Ma Hong held a child, a child of six or seven years old, the child held the pastry made for him by Ma Hong, eating, looking at the soldiers around him with a curious face.

"Ma Hong'er, who is the child you are holding?" Guan Yu squinted his eyes and asked Zhou Cang beside him, he was old, his eyes were spent, and he couldn't see anything too far away.

"General... That's the young master. ”

Zhou Cang said in a voice like a mosquito.

"What! How can it be! Xiling City is guarded by Zhao Yun, even if the city is broken, with Zhao Yun's ability, even if he can't protect all the lord's family to leave, at least he can leave with the young master. Guan Yu frowned, his eyes looked at Ma Hong under the city without blinking, but he still couldn't see the child's face clearly.

Zhou Cang fought with Zhao Yun, and almost died in Zhao Yun's hands, he naturally knew Zhao Yun's strength and knew Zhao Yun's ability, and now that the young master was captured, there was only one result, that is, Zhao Yun died in battle. Zhou Cang knew that Guan Yu was reluctant to say that Zhao Yun died in battle because he didn't want to know that Zhao Yun was dead, and even Zhao Yun, Liu Bei's most core general, had already died in battle, so if it was spread out, the army would definitely be disheartened.

"General Guan, Xiling City has been broken, General Zhao was killed in battle, and General Zhang was also killed in battle, you still surrendered!"

Ma Hong shouted loudly under the city.

Guan Yu couldn't believe that Xiling City was broken, why didn't a single scattered soldier come to Echeng to report for him, but now Ma Hong is standing here again, still holding his eldest brother's son in his arms, so it means that Xiling City is really lost, his family, the eldest brother's family, and all the main generals' families have been captured by Ma Hong.

Everyone has weaknesses, Ma Hong, who knows the history of the Three Kingdoms, knows that Guan Yu's weakness is Liu Bei's family, then Xu Shu's weakness is his mother, Xu Shu used to hide his mother in order to prevent Ma Hong's revenge, and when he defected to Liu Bei, he brought his mother to Xiling City, and this time he happened to be caught by Ma Hong.

"Senior Brother Xu Shu, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't you want to talk? Besides, is your mother still in my hand? Ma Hong spoke loudly, took out a pastry from the cloth bag hanging from the horse's neck, and handed it to Xiao Liu Chan, who took the pastry and continued to eat.

Xu Shu took a deep breath, his hands trembled, and said loudly to Ma Hong: "Senior Brother Ma Hong, I know that you can't let me go, but Xu Shu thinks that you are not the kind of sinister villain, and please let my mother go." ”

Isn't it a sinister villain? Am I really not a sinister villain now? Ma Hong chuckled, and now I don't know if I'm a sinister villain.

"Then please come out of the city! I have a lot to say to you, brother? ”

Ma Hong laughed loudly.

Xu Shu sighed and said loudly: "Senior brother, if I die, can the grievances between us be written off?" Can you spare my mother? ”

Sure enough, Xu Shu's life is his mother, although Xu Shu is not as loyal as recorded in the Three Kingdoms, but he is indeed a filial son, and now that his mother has been captured by Ma Hong, he has been messed up.

Ma Hong laughed loudly: "Senior Brother Xu Shu, come out of the city to catch up on the old days, maybe I will let you go as soon as I am happy." ”

Xu Shu laughed miserably, kicked on the guardrail of the city wall, stood on the guardrail with his whole body, pulled out the sword from his waist with his left backhand, and said loudly with both hands in his hand: "Senior brother, I know that you want me to die, then I will do what you wish." ”

"Strategist, don't!" Guan Yu strode towards Xu Shu.

"General Guan, the general trend has gone, don't resist, give the eight thousand brothers in Echeng a way out!"

As Xu Shu spoke, he stabbed his throat with a sword in both hands, pierced his throat with a sword, and then twisted the sword to the right forcefully, cutting off his entire head, and his body fell towards the city wall, and his head fell to the city wall. The blood spurted out was particularly vivid in the light of the morning sun.

Guan Yu looked at Xu Shu, who had lost his head, in a daze, and his hands instantly lost their strength.

Ma Hong sat on the horse and watched Xu Shu's head fall off the city wall, only to feel a cold shiver all over his body, as if he had lost something in his heart, he wanted to grasp it hard, but he couldn't grasp it, what kind of emotion was it? Ma Hong couldn't say it, he couldn't say it, all he could show was a wry smile.

"Senior Brother Xu just died." Pang Tong sighed and looked at Ma Hong with a wry smile on his face, he could see something on Ma Hong's face, something called loss.

Originally, Ma Hong had always wanted to kill Xu Shu, but now that Xu Shu really died in front of him, he seemed to have lost something.

"Standing in my way, death may be the best option."

Ma Hong said this sentence unconsciously, and Deng Ai beside him glanced at Ma Hong, only to feel a chill all over his body, which was a cold that pierced his heart and lungs.

"The war is about to begin, you go and pick up Xu Shu's head and put it in a wooden box." Pang Tong said to the bloodline soldiers,

The leader of the bloodline soldiers looked at Ma Hong, Ma Hong nodded, and the two bloodline soldiers walked out of the formation, until they were under the city wall, and picked up Xu Shu's head.

The archers on the city wall wanted to release arrows, but were stopped by Guan Yu.

Don't want to surrender! The word surrender, Guan Yu said it once many years ago, when he said the word surrender, his heart was like a knife, it was better to die, but he chose to surrender for the sake of the eldest brother's family, and now the eldest brother's family, even his young daughter and son, including the third brother Zhang Fei's family are all held in Ma Hong's hands, what can he choose? Ma Hong took his eldest brother's only son to the city, did he fight or not?

If you choose to fight! Then Ma Hong is very likely to kill Liu Chan's sacrifice flag, if he doesn't fight, he is better than dead.

"General, Zhou Cang swears to follow you to the death!"

"General, Liao Hua will accompany you to fight to the end!"

Ma Hong looked at Xu Shu's head, stretched out his hand to close his eyes for Xu Shu, and Liu Chan in his arms was so frightened that he cried. Ma Hong coaxed Liu Chan, sighed, and said loudly: "General Guan, Hong has always respected you very much, Uncle Liu Huang is gone, please make a choice!" Surrender or war, no matter what the choice, Ma Hong will take it. ”

In Zhou Yu's camp, Tai Shici snorted lightly and said, "This Ma Hong is really cruel!" Take Liu Bei's family and all the families of Liu Bei's subordinates in Xiling City to threaten Guan Yu, what should Guan Yu do? Even if they fight, do the soldiers still have the heart to fight? ”

"In this troubled world, what is benevolence and righteousness? The benevolence and righteousness of troubled times will be slashed by the cold sword. Zhou Yu said expressionlessly.

Lu Meng on the side opened his mouth and asked: "Metropolitan Governor, if Guan Yu really surrenders to Ma Hong, then it will not be another threat to us, Guan Yu is such a fierce general......

Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "Cao Cao is such a skilled person, he can't keep Guan Yu, how can Ma Hong, a smart person, waste so much time on Guan Yu, he understands that even if Guan Yu surrenders, he will not be truly loyal to him, in this world, Guan Yu is afraid that he is only loyal to Liu Bei." ”

"Even if Guan Yu is loyal to Ma Hong, Ma Hong will not use it." Tai Shi Ci said.

"So, are we going to wait and see?" Lu Meng said. (To be continued.) )
