The first year of Yanxing of the Han Dynasty, 263 A.D., winter and October.

The remnant sun is like blood.

There is no wind, the air is filled with a hint of solemnity, and when you look into the distance, the mountains are stacked and meandering, and they look extremely heavy and majestic in the afterglow of the setting sun. Jiangyou is outside the army*, and the water that has raised the people of one side has rushed eastward for thousands of years.

Guan Yi stood quietly on the city tower with his hands behind his back, and Ma Miao, who followed him, pressed his saber with his hand, and stopped talking, but seeing Guan Yi's face sinking like water, he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak rashly for a while.

In fact, although Ma Miao was only a general, he had military power in his hands, and he was in charge of Jiangyoushu and the major military affairs. And although Guan Yi is the captain of the Inner Garden, everyone knows that the captain of the Inner Garden has always been unfixed, and most of them are fictitious, just an empty title. It's just that who in the world doesn't know that Guan Jiaqin was awarded the title of Marquis of Hanshouting, and his ancestor Shangyun Chang was the head of the Five Tiger Generals, and he was the founding minister of the Han Dynasty, and he was like a brother to Emperor Zhaolie.

Although since Jingzhou fell to Soochow, most of the Guan family died in the king's affairs, and they have long lost their glory and glory. But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Guan Yi's father Guan Xing has been valued by Prime Minister Zhuge Kongming since he was a child, thinking that he is a young talent, in addition to inheriting the title of Marquis of Hanshouting, he also served in the middle and the middle prison army, and has a very high status in the Han court, and Guan Yi's eldest brother Guan Tong, who died in his early years, was also ranked in the middle of the tiger, and he was the son-in-law of the horse and the heir Liu Chan. This honor alone is not comparable to Ma Miao's small Jiangyou garrison.

What's more, this time Guan Yi came to Jiang Youshu to bring the five hundred Guan clans, the individual is strong and well-equipped, and the discerning people know at a glance that they are all brave people, and their momentum and combat effectiveness are far beyond the reach of the guards in the Guan.

Ever since Guan Yi led his troops into the pass, Ma Miao had already felt a huge pressure. From Guan Yi's mouth, it was learned that this time it was not sent by the imperial court, but Guan Yi found out that the Wei soldiers on the West Road who invaded the Han Dynasty were personally led by Deng Ai, the general of the expedition to the west, and crossed the Mojiu Tianling Mountains from the Yinping Road to prepare for a sneak attack on Jiangyoushu, and then wanted to use Jiangyoushu as a logistics base, and attacked Chengdu from the rear through Fuxian and Mianzhu, echoing with the Wei soldiers on the East Road who were fighting fiercely with the main force of the Han army in Jiange, and attacked back and forth. Therefore, Guan Yi Xingye led 500 of his subordinates to Jiangyou to help guard the pass.

Unfortunately, the news brought by Guan Yi did not attract Ma Miao's attention. It has long been known to the world that Wei soldiers invaded the realm in three ways, but he could hardly believe that Deng Ai would personally lead his troops to attack Yinping Xiaodao. After all, the Yinping Trail stretches for more than 700 miles from Jiangyoushu, and the road is full of high mountains and dangerous peaks, cliffs, and there are no people along the road, which is not suitable for the march of the army at all.

What's more, if you want to go to Jiangyoushu, you have to climb over the skyscraper ridge known as the ghost gate, Deng Ai has been fighting with the Han army in the Longxi area all the year round, and knows the geographical environment around Longxi and Sichuan and Shu, how can he be willing to take the risk to bring himself and more than 10,000 Wei soldiers into death?

Ma Miao thought that he would never make such a stupid decision, and Deng Ainai was a famous general of the Wei State, so naturally he would not take such a risk.

Guan Yi didn't plan to continue to entangle with Ma Miao about Deng Ai's sneak attack on Jiang Youshu. Although Ma Miao was submissive to himself on the surface, he could see that this was just Ma Miao's perfunctory and coping. It's no wonder that the news that Deng Ai wants to sneak attack Yinping Xiaodao is indeed appalling, Hugh said that it was a reckless man like Ma Miao, even if a group of civil and military officials in the court suddenly heard the news, I am afraid that it is difficult to believe. Therefore, Guan Yi has no other plans for the time being, except for writing a statement to report to the imperial court and requesting to send troops to reinforce Jiang Youshu, after all, Ma Miao is the chief general appointed by the imperial court to guard the pass, and he will not use extreme measures unless absolutely necessary.

Guan Yi thinks that he has a great confidence that he can ensure that Jiang Youshu is not lost, but if the imperial court does not send troops to rescue Jiang Youshu, he is not absolutely sure that Deng Ai's lone army will be annihilated. Therefore, waiting is the best option at this time. You can not only wait for the scouts to find out Deng Ai's exact whereabouts, but also wait for the reinforcements of the imperial court, and then annihilate the Wei soldiers who attacked in one fell swoop.

Looking at the winding and undulating mountains, a faint melancholy spread back into my heart. Since he inexplicably came to this late era of the Three Kingdoms, which has an important position and significance in history, five years ago, he has inexplicably become Guan Xing's concubine - Guan Yi, the third-generation descendant of the Guan family who inherited the title of Marquis of Hanshouting at the age of sixteen, and inexplicably inherited everything he has learned.

It turns out that there really is such a thing as reincarnation in this world.

When the eldest brother Guan Tong died of illness, Guan Yi inherited the title of Marquis of Hanshouting as Guan Xing's concubine, and became the only bloodline of the Guan family in the imperial court. Witnessing the ** of the Han court, in his vague and chaotic memory in his previous life, he knew that it would not be long before the Wei soldiers would attack the Han on all fronts, and finally Deng Ai's brigade of partial divisions successfully attacked Jiangyoushu, and broke Zhuge Zhan, the son of Zhuge Wuhou, in Mianzhu, forcing the heir Liu Chan to surrender, and the Han perished. And the Guan family, except for Guan Suo, the third uncle of Yuanzhen Nanzhong, and Guan Yinping, the fourth aunt, will all die at the hands of Pang Hui, the son of Pang De.

On the day of the death of the country, people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat.

In the past five years, Guan Yi has also had countless confusion and panic, but in the face of the reincarnation of fate, all the loss and uneasiness seem so pale and powerless, time flies, when Guan Yi finally understood that he could not change this predicament, he was forced to accept the reality, and it was at that moment that Guan Yi walked out of a road that everyone felt incredible.

I have to say that Guan Yi is an open-minded person, since the reincarnation of fate has sent him into this era, at least it shows that his fate has an inevitable reason for existence. Whether it is sadness or fate, he must accept this new life environment and identity. Of course, from then on, he was destined to undertake another mission given by history - to do his best to save the fate of the Han and Guan clansmen.

It was from that moment that Guan Yi received the financial support of the heir through the relationship between the royal in-laws of the Guan family, and selected 500 soldiers with outstanding physical fitness and absolute loyalty and reliability from the old tribe of the Guan clan to form his own direct subordinate tribe, the Blood Guard, and carried out the most rigorous training for them in the deep mountains of Zitong County, and tailored weapons and equipment suitable for the characteristics of the Blood Guard.

Although it has not really passed the test of life and death on the battlefield, Guan Yi believes that whether it is individual combat ability or teamwork ability, his blood guard will definitely not be weaker than the Bai Wei soldiers or Wudang Fei Army and other powerful teams in the early Han Dynasty, and even on the basis of the same or even more than multiple soldiers, it can completely compete with Cao Wei or any elite of Eastern Wu who are brave and good at fighting.

When Guan Yi walked out of the mountains with the blood guard, he firmly believed that because of his existence, history would inevitably be rewritten.

Destroy my country, destroy my Guan's family? I'm afraid it may not be!

While thinking about it, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and before the person arrived, Ma Miao already felt a huge sense of oppression from the person who came: "Young master, all matters have been prepared." ”

Ma Miao frowned, what does this Guan Yi want to do?

Guan Yijian's eyebrows raised slightly, and he took Ma Miao's expression into his eyes, but he didn't break it. Looking back at the eight-foot-tall, black-faced, bearded, ugly young man in front of him, who had inherited his father's majestic physique, nodded, and said lightly: "Ehu, you have been with me for three years, right?" ”

"Back to the young master, the villain has been following the young master in Chengdu for three spring and autumn periods."

This young man named Ehu, his father was the former Yue Wang Taishou, Yi Wang Gaoding under the account of the fierce general Ehuan, in Zhuge Wuhou crusaded against the barbarian king Meng Shu rebellion when surrendered to the Han, was named the Yamen general, and then has been with the army to fight, the official to the general of Furong, the lord of the Pingyi Marquis, and the leader of the army to guard the county.

Ehuan Rongma lived his life, and only gave birth to a son when he was fifty years old, named Ehu. After the death of E Huan, E Huan inherited his father, and the factor was known as a brave martyr, so he was transferred back to Chengdu Yulinwei by the imperial court. But because he was provoked by drunkenness, he was treated as a barbarian, and under the anger of the tiger, he killed people on the street, and was deprived of his title by the imperial court and put on death row. It happened that Guan Yi was selecting members of the Blood Guard at that time, although Ehu was not an old part of the Guan family, but when he heard that he was brave, he vouched in front of the heir to save his life, and asked him to temporarily serve as the guard in front of the tent and lead the blood guard. Since then, Ehu has felt Guan Yi's kindness and righteousness, so he has taken Guan Yi as the young master and sworn to follow him to the death.

"Three spring and autumn seasons, countless days of blood and sweat, it's time for me to show my skills." Guan Yi patted Ehu's thick shoulder, his eyes were full of infinite yearning and confidence.

"Young master, according to the scout's report, after the fall of Yang'an Pass, General Fu Yan's whereabouts are unknown, could it be ......" Hu reported the battle of Yang'an Pass to Guan Yi one by one.

Guan Yi nodded, but a trace of inexplicable sadness passed through his heart. Zhong Hui led the troops to attack Yang'an Pass, Fu He led 5,000 elite soldiers to defend it, but was deceitful by Jiang Shu, the deputy general who defended the city, said that he went out of the pass to meet the enemy, but in fact, he surrendered to the Wei army, Wei general Hu Lie and his son Hu Yuan took the opportunity to cut off the pass, waved the army to grab the pass, Fu He and his hundreds of personal guards died in battle.

Guan Yi had a very close personal relationship with Fu Yi, and when he was in seclusion in Zitong to train the blood guard, he wrote many letters to warn Fu Yi that once the Wei soldiers attacked the pass, it was only advisable to stick to the city, and not to go down to the pass to fight with the Wei soldiers, and at the same time, it was necessary to closely guard against other people's dissenting thoughts. As for the others that Guan Yi said, I believe that Fu Yi should know it in his heart.

"I only hope that General Fu will be able to turn the danger into a disaster." Guan Yi sighed lightly, if it weren't for the fact that Jiang Youshu's safety was related to the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, he would definitely not sit idly by and watch Fu He be in distress at Yang'an Pass, but at the moment, he could only do his best to obey the fate of heaven, hoping that Fu He would be able to keep an eye on his mind and escape death after receiving his own warning.

In the silence, a horse galloped outside the pass, the sound of hooves, splashed a string of dust, and in a moment it had already flown into the pass, Ehu hurried to meet it, and returned after a while: "Young master, the scout has found out the exact news, Zhong Hui sent the general Tian Zhang to assist Deng Ai, and Yu Guangwu broke the three schools of our army, and more than 2,000 brothers of our army were all killed in battle, and none of them survived." The 30,000 horses of the Wei army on the western front set up more than ten camps along the Yinping Trail, stretching like a long snake, Deng Ai personally led 10,000 elite forwards and horses to cross the Sky Ridge, and ordered the general Shi Su and his son Deng Zhong to be the vanguard, killing Benjiang and Youshu, according to the distance, there are three hours to pass. ”

Ma Miao opened his mouth wide, his hands and feet trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of horror, he didn't expect Deng Ai to really risk smuggling from Yinping.

Guan Yi took in his expression, and sighed secretly in his heart. The imperial court took this person as a general, how could Jiang Youshu not give it to Wei Bing? With a turn of thought in his heart, he said slowly: "General Ma, Deng Ai personally led the elite of Yongliang of Wei State to attack Jiangyoushu, the situation is critical, and I hope that the general will prepare as soon as possible in case of accidents." ”

Ma Miao came back to his senses from the shock and said with a bitter face: "This ...... The little general didn't know that the Wei soldiers had 10,000 elites, and my Jiangyou could not defeat 2,000 old and weak soldiers, so I was afraid that I would not be able to hold this pass. ”

Guan Yi frowned, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. Ma Miao's mind is self-evident, he has already saved the heart of surrender before he sees Wei Jun, it seems that this person is really the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is useless. At present, the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and when the interruption continues, it will be chaotic, and it is time to make a decision. With a change of thought in his heart, he no longer hesitated, and said coldly: "In this case, I have to temporarily wronged General Ma." ”

"What do you mean by this?" Although Ma Miao was flustered, he was not stupid, and when he heard the words, he immediately heard the unkind voice in Guan Yi's words.

Guan Yi looked up at the sky and said lightly: "Take over Jiang Youshu!" ”

Ma Miao was shocked and angry, and before he could react, a bright horse chopping knife was already on his neck, and a cold voice came from behind him: "General Ma, offended!" ”

Ma Miao was frightened, and the slightest chill from the horse chopping knife soaked into his head, and he finally stabilized his mind, and said in a trembling voice: "Young General, you, why are you?" ”

The change happened suddenly, and the soldiers guarding the city wall quickly surrounded Guan Yi and others under the leadership of Ma Miao, but because the main general had been restrained by the Hu, he did not dare to act rashly.

Guan Yi's expression remained unchanged, he coldly glanced at the soldiers guarding the pass in front of him, waved his hand to let the personal eighteen cavalry blood guards in front of him retreat, stared at the more and more guards who were gathering more and more, and said loudly: "Brothers, listen to me: I think you all already know that Wei General Deng Ai personally led his troops to smuggle across the Yinping Trail, and at present, the vanguard of Wei soldiers is less than a hundred miles away from this pass!" However, Ma Miao, the main general of the guard, was deeply favored by the emperor, but he did not want to serve the country, and the Wei soldiers had secretly surrendered to the enemy before they arrived, intending to dedicate this pass to the Wei army. ”

Ma Miao was flustered, beads of sweat rolled down his head, fearing the enemy and surrendering was a major crime of the three clans of Zhulian, and he should be punished with capital punishment according to Shu Ke, Guan Yi said this, it was nothing more than to let him sit on this charge, and at the same time, he could also block the mouth of his sergeants. Ma Miao originally planned to defend himself, but he was forced by Ehu with a knife to the throat, where did he dare to speak?

Guan Yi's words were full of anger, and the soldiers guarding the pass could all hear it clearly, and many people secretly despised Ma Miao's cowardly behavior of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and even a few of Ma Miao's close henchmen were secretly embarrassed and did not dare to say more. But the current situation is unclear, although I have been biased towards Guan Yi in my heart, but because there is no one to lead, no one has said anything for a while.

Guan Yi stared at it, and his heart was more confident, and he continued loudly: "Guan Mou doesn't dare to hide it from the brothers, the imperial court doesn't know the news of Wei Bing's smuggling into Yinping at the moment, so there is no edict ordering me to take over Jiangyoushu." But the so-called rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, now that the Wei soldiers have violated the border, Guan Mou, as a descendant of the Guan family, is deeply grateful to the country, how can he sit idly by? Today's affairs, if the court blames them in the future, they will all be borne by me, and they have nothing to do with the brothers. At present, the situation is critical, Guan just wants to ask all the brothers, since you are soldiers, I don't know if you are willing to help Guan? ”

The last sentence, Guan Yi almost screamed. This fire burned down, the soldiers guarding the pass were shocked, the Guan family was full of loyalty, and the Dan heart could show the sun and the moon, under Guan Yi's attack, most of them involuntarily slowly put down the weapons in their hands. In the silence, a strong man in his thirties with a long knife strode forward, thrust the long knife into the ground, and shouted: "The last general is Chen Lie, the deputy general of Jiangyoushu, and he is willing to wait for the general's dispatch." ”

The situation at the scene was already a one-sided situation, someone took the lead, and it became a prairie fire in an instant, and the soldiers guarding the pass immediately responded, and several of Ma Miao's close confidants were frightened by Guan Yi's prestige, and secondly, they saw that the crowd was excited, if they did not conform to the times, they would not be able to please anything, so they did not weigh it much, so they joined the team to support Guan Yi.

Guan Yi looked at Ma Miao with a dead face, and suddenly thought of his wife Li Shi, who had been admonished by death and praised and admired, and secretly sighed in his heart that creation made people, and he didn't know what kind of turning point her life would take because of Ma Miao's drag? Fortunately, at this moment, Jiang Youshu has the final say, and since the Li family has a good name, Guan Yi is naturally happy to be a favor, and instructed Ehu to order the three armies, the crime is only in Ma Miao, and his family members do not ask, and idle people are not allowed to disturb Ma Fu.
