Chapter 661: The Battle of Guandu (22)

Among the bandits and thieves, nearly 100 people were killed by Guan Yu, and there were 3 or 400 people.

However, when these thieves saw that it was Guan Yu, they didn't dare to do anything anymore, they scattered in a hurry, and took advantage of the night to flee in all directions and escape down the mountain.

However, there are still dozens of people who said that they were only forced to be thieves, hoping to follow Guan Yu.

Guan Yu considered that it was indeed inconvenient for him to take his sister-in-law alone, and after careful interrogation, he figured out that these thieves who voluntarily followed him were not evil, and they seemed to be honest people. Nearly fifty people were taken in.

Guan Yu ordered these people to clean up this bandit camp and spend the night on the mountain.

That night, Guan Yu was not very relieved, so he stayed outside the house and guarded Liang Lan all night.

Well, if the situation between Guan Yu and Liang Lan makes Liu Yi know it, that guy will definitely scold Guan Yu for being a beast.

For Liu Yi, although Liang Lan and Liu Bei are husband and wife, Liu Bei does not regard Liang Lan as a real person at all. There is no normal couple's affection for Liang Lan at all, and Liang Lan has no affection for Liu Bei. Instead of letting such a beautiful woman live a life that is worse than life and death, it is better to let her live some real happy life.

What's more, Liang Lan has already bravely taken the first step to pursue her own happiness, why did Guan Yu let down the beauty?

It's a pity that Liu Yi is not Guan Yu, and Guan Yu is not Liu Yi.

Guan Yu is actually not inferior to a beast, but he has his own code of conduct as a man, as long as he thinks it is right. will always persevere.

In Guan Yu's heart, he actually has his own plans. He can't be as insightful about things between men and women as Levian as he is. But he's not wood after all. Liang Lan's affection for him, he will always keep it in his heart. And he doesn't intend to be inactive.

Guan Yu planned to plan, and after sending his sister-in-law back to Liu Bei, if it was clear that Liu Bei and sister-in-law Liang Lan were really as Liang Lan said, there would be no affection between husband and wife, especially if Liang Lan was for Liu Bei. is indeed a dispensable and inconsequential woman, Guan Yu may bravely explain his feelings for Liang Lan to Liu Bei, and will ask Liu Bei to fulfill himself and Liang Lan.

Of course. Guan Yu is indeed very difficult now. Because, he originally planned to send Liang Lan back to Liu Bei, and then leave Liu Bei himself. to the New Han Dynasty. However, now that he has Liang Lan's fetters, will Guan Yu leave Liu Bei immediately and never care about Liang Lan again? Guan Yu knew that if he explained his relationship with Liang Lan to Liu Bei, whether it was Liu Bei in the past or Liu Bei now, Guan Yu estimated that Liu Bei would definitely agree to his request. will let Liang Lan follow him. But in this way, after getting Liang Lan. Leaving Liu Bei again, this seems a bit too much.

Anyway, the current Guan Yu is in a dilemma, and he really doesn't know how to make a decision. He is not good at expressing his heart to women, but he remembers Liang Lan's feelings for him. If Liang Lan didn't show him that his heart was self-reliant, and now he has shown his heart, which makes Guan Yu unconsciously feel that he has one more object that should be protected, and Liang Lan should not be wronged by Liu Bei's side.

Guan Yu couldn't figure it out and it was difficult to decide, so he could only see walking steps, and first bring his sister-in-law back to see Liu Bei. After all, no matter what happened in the end, Guan Yu felt that he had to be upright and upright, and he couldn't let the world be ashamed of himself.

The next day, Guan Yu organized the 50 or so people who voted for him into several teams, leaving about 20 people to protect his sister-in-law and send those 30 or so people to explore the way.

The horses of the Nala carriage have been recovered, and Guan Yu has temporarily made a simple carriage.

Well, now the distribution of the power of the princes of the Han Dynasty is naturally not the same as in history, like in history, when Guan Yu rode alone for thousands of miles, Luoyang and even the area around Chang'an were already Cao Cao's power territory. However, it has now been occupied by Lew.

And the junction of Liu Yi and Cao Cao's power is between Rongyang and Zhongmu.

If Guan Yu walks a little further west, he can enter the territory of the New Han Dynasty, and if Guan Yu decides to elope with his sister-in-law, he can directly enter Rongyang or Bishui Pass.

However, Guan Yu had already made a decision, and felt that it was better not to return to the New Han Dynasty for the time being.

However, don't look at Guan Yu's desire to avoid the armies of Cao and Yuan in the Guandu area, and take a detour to pass through the junction of Liu Yi and Cao Cao's forces, it will be relatively safe to enter the Hanoi area, and it will be less troublesome. However, this is not the case.

For the New Han Dynasty, as long as the cities in the vicinity of Bishui Pass, Tiger Prison Pass, and Xingyang were guarded, Cao Cao's military horses could be prevented from attacking Luoyang. But for Cao Cao, it was not so easy for them to hold the border and prevent the military horses of the New Han Dynasty from going out of the pass to attack his powerful territory.

Therefore, Cao Cao had to set up a wide pass in the border area with the New Han Dynasty, and leave troops to guard some roads that must be passed.

Before, the area around Luoyang Peak was still in the internal area of Zhongmu County, so Guan Yu and his sister-in-law did not encounter any Cao Bing, and no one stopped them, but now, after walking out of dozens of miles, they will encounter the passes set up by Cao Jun.

Guan Yu sent people to report back, saying that there is a pass not far ahead, called Dongling Pass, which is guarded by Cao Jun, and there is no road nearby, so you must pass through Dongling Pass to pass.

Guan Yu thought about it, and felt that he had made it clear to Cao Cao, and even Cao Cao did not stop him from leaving, as long as he made it clear to Cao Jun's guards, he might not be able to pass the test.

He asked the dozens of people to return first, protecting his sister-in-law Liang Lan, far behind, while Guan Yu himself rushed directly to the pass to knock on the pass.

Dongling Pass guard, surnamed Kong Mingxiu.

This pass has been from the Bishui Pass to the last pass of Zhongmu County, located in the east of the Bishui Pass, therefore, called the Dongling Pass.

But to pass through Zhongmu County and reach the Yellow River, it is the first pass.

Kong Xiu is not well-known in Cao Cao's army, but he is also a military general with some strength, and it is estimated that he is close to the strength of a first-class military general.

However, this person does things. Too conformist, completely inflexible, therefore. is not liked by people, even Cao Cao does not like this person, and puts him in Dongling Pass to guard, which also means a little idle. Because although Dongling Pass is also a relatively important pass, it is the last pass to defend against the New Han Dynasty. In normal times, even if there is a war, it will not be immediately involved. Guarding the customs here is actually just an idle job, and there is nothing to do at all.

Guan Yu knocked on the pass, and Kong Xiu heard that it was Guan Yu. He knows Guan Yu and his people. And he went out to speak.

Guan Yu wanted to get through. didn't want to fall out with Cao Jiang, so he took the lead in dismounting and saluting Kong Xiu. Then he explained to Kong Xiu that he had left Cao Cao and wanted to go to Hebei, hoping that Kong Xiu would not stop him and let him go.

Regarding Guan Yu's statement, Kong Xiu did not believe it, originally, open the door. Let Guan Yu go over. However, at this moment. Kong Xiu made his unchanging and conformist mistake again.

He believed that Guan Yu's departure was with Cao Cao's permission, because he himself felt that Guan Yu could come here from Xudu safely, and there was no Cao Cao's pursuers behind him, if it wasn't for Cao Cao's consent to release him, Guan Yu should not have come to his Dongling Pass.

However, he did not agree to let Guan Yu pass, saying that Guan Yu had to take out Cao Cao's document voucher to agree to the release, and if not, he could not let Guan Yu pass.

When Guan Yu left Xu Du with great difficulty, when he said goodbye to Cao Cao, he was worried that Cao Cao would temporarily change his mind and keep him, so he left in a hurry and did not ask Cao Cao for customs clearance documents. Now ask Guan Yu to take out Cao Cao's credentials to let him go, how can Guan Yu get it?

No matter what Guan Yu said, Kong Xiu just refused to switch it on and didn't let Guan Yu pass.

This time, it really angered Guan Yu.

At this moment, Guan Yu is still in a dilemma because of his sister-in-law Liang Lan's matter, if he is stopped by Kong Xiu like this, how can he send his sister-in-law back to Liu Bei as soon as possible?

At that moment, Guan Yu glared angrily, picked up his knife and got on the horse, pointed at Kong Xiu and said: "Do you really want to make things difficult for Guan Mou, and don't let Guan Mou do it?" ”

Guan Yu didn't know who Kong Xiu was, and saw that he kept saying that Cao Cao had to let Guan Yu leave the document credentials before he could let Guan Yu pass. This made Guan Yu feel that Kong Xiu was deliberately making things difficult for himself.

Kong Xiu saw that Guan Yu actually seemed to be coercing him, and he asked himself if he was a person who could not be bent for his own principles, and who could not be moved by obscenity. How could he be allowed to go because of Guan Yu's coercion? Therefore, he also felt angry, and said to Guan Yu: "Don't let go!" There is no document released by the prime minister, how can you let Kong release it? Even if you are let go, the people behind you will have to stay as hostages! ”

Kong Xiu pointed to the carriage behind Guan Yu, Guan Yu was really annoyed when he heard it, he finally escorted his sister-in-law here, how could he leave his sister-in-law down as a hostage?

"Good! Since General Kong wants to deliberately make things difficult for Guan Mou, Guan Mou wants to see, in Xu Du, even Cao Cao and all the generals stopped me Guan Mou, see how you Kong Xiu stopped me, if you don't let it go, be careful that Guan Mou washed your Dongling Pass with blood! ”

"Good! Sure enough, it's you Guan Yu with bad intentions, you must have sneaked here and wanted to go to Yuan Shao in Hebei, right? Bah! Today, Kong will behead you and send your head back to the prime minister! ”

Kong Xiu was not afraid of Guan Yu, and gathered troops with drums and drums, and then led the army to kill Guan Yu.

Kong Xiu because of his conformism, which directly led to his short-sightedness, when he brought people to kill Guan Yu, he didn't think about whether he was Guan Yu's enemy?

in, and Guan Yu, seeing that Kong Xiu led the army to kill, it was useless to know that Lu Dao said more, so he didn't speak, and directly raised his knife and faced Kong Xiu to kill the general.

Guan Yuma was fast, and he killed Kong Xiu in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Kong Xiu raised his gun to face the battle, but unfortunately, where is Kong Xiu's enemy of Guan Yu? Even, he couldn't even beat a move, and he was slashed by Guan Yu, who had been killed like the wind, under the horse.

Kong Xiu was beheaded, and the remaining sergeants saw Guan Yu's majestic and murderous appearance, where did they dare to attack Guan Yu again? Earlier, Guan Yu single-handedly defeated tens of thousands of Runan Yellow Turban thieves and recaptured Runan City, which had already reached the ears of these soldiers guarding the pass.

At the moment, those Cao soldiers scattered and fled with a bang.

Seeing this, Guan Yu shouted: "Soldiers, you don't have to run away, Guan Mou killed Kong Xiu, it is a last resort, as long as you don't stop me Guan Mou from passing the pass, a certain pass will not embarrass you." As for Kong Xiu's death, the soldiers can send a message to Cao Cao, just say. Kong Xiu deliberately made things difficult for Guan and did not let Guan pass, so Guan killed him. So. I believe that Cao Cao will not embarrass you. ”

Cao Bing, who was about to flee in all directions, heard what Guan Yu said, and knew that Guan Yu would not kill, so he was a little calm, and they all bowed in front of Guan Yu's horse and sent Guan Yu out of the pass.

However, the news that Guan Yu killed Kong Xiu in front of Dongling Pass. There were still some Cao soldiers who had escaped, but they reported to the guards at the other passes.

The next guard was originally the historical Luoyang Taishou Han Fu, but. Now that Luoyang is too guarded, he is naturally not qualified to do it. can only stoop here to guard Cao Cao's pass.

He received a report of deserters from Dongling Pass, and immediately summoned the people to discuss.

For Dongling Pass, the remaining passes, whether they are generals or soldiers and horses. It's a little more than Dongling Pass.

For Guan Yu's sudden appearance here. Han Fu was also a little surprised, but it was true that he did not receive the release order from Xu Du. Dongling Guan Kong Xiu was killed by Guan Yu, Han Fu didn't feel anything, because he didn't have much of a good impression of the legalistic Kong Xiu, and he usually didn't talk much when he met Kong Xiu, and if he talked too much, he would only be made angry by Kong Xiu.

However, there is a point. He felt that Kong Xiu had done the right thing, that is, they had not received Cao Cao's release order. And when Guan Yu did not have the customs clearance documents, they let Guan Yu go, in case Cao Cao wanted to be held accountable in the future, none of them could afford to bear this responsibility.

And Kong Xiu's death also reminded them that whoever dares to stop Guan Yu may end up with the same fate as Kong Xiu.

Han Fu, the main general of the guard, he felt that Guan Yu was brave and invincible. If this doesn't stop Guan Yu, Xu Du will investigate it, they are also embarrassed, blocking it, but they ask themselves if they are not Guan Yu's enemies.

His lieutenant Meng Tan was also embarrassed and said: "That Guan someone has no prime minister's diploma, that is, it is a private business; If you don't stop it, you will be guilty. But if you stop ......"

Meng Tan's meaning is self-evident, for them, the brave name of Guan Yu has been like thunder, and no one dares to despise it.

"Yuan Shao's Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Han were fortunate to know each other at the beginning, and they were all brave and outstanding generals with outstanding martial arts, but they were easily defeated and killed by Guan Yu. Therefore, if we openly stand in the way, we will not be able to resist, so we must use tactics. Han Fu said.

"Speaking of calculations...... There will be a plan in the end. Meng Tan rolled his eyes and said.

"Oh?"

"General, none of us are Guan Yu's enemies, so we must not let him come close to Guan Yu, let alone talk to him more, because if we don't agree with each other, if we kill the general, we can't resist the enemy." Meng Tan said: "We can only spread the antlers on the road in front of the pass, which can block the rush of the red rabbit horse in Guan Yu." Then, the last general led an army to ambush, just waiting for Guan Yu to arrive, and the last general came out from behind. And the general, after rejecting the antlers in front of the pass, lead an army to shoot it with bows and arrows, as long as Guan Yu is wounded, capture Guan Yu and send him back to Xudu, this will be a great achievement. ”

For these local defenders, if there is no war, they can only stay bored, and it is rare to have a chance to make meritorious contributions. Therefore, what they hope more is that they can go to the front line to participate in the war, so that they can make meritorious contributions. Now that Guan Yu had bumped into their hands, they thought it was a credit to them that had been sent to them.

Meng Tan didn't want to miss it, even Han Fu didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Meng Tan's words were talking about Han Fu's heart, and if the enemy couldn't do it, he could only make the plan capture Guan Yu.

Han Fu did not hesitate, and immediately acted according to the plan, first set up antlers to resist the deer in front of his own guard, so as to prevent Guan Yu from rushing through the pass. Then he sent Meng Tan's army to ambush on a hillside next to the front of the pass.

Soon, Guan Yu arrived with his sister-in-law's carriage.

Han Fu had already led a thousand men and horses to set up a formation in front of the pass, and all his soldiers drew bows and arrows.

When Guan Yu saw this, he knew that something was wrong, and he knew that Cao Cao's defenders here would not let him pass easily.

However, Guan Yu pressed his patience and stepped forward to talk.

Sure enough, Guan Yu stepped forward to negotiate with the guards to no avail, and the guards of this pass were still the same as Kong Xiu, the guards of Dongling Pass before, and Guan Yu had to take out the customs clearance documents, or he would not let Guan Yu pass.

Guan Yu couldn't help but be furious when he saw that these Cao army generals were so ignorant, and they were blocked three or four times, and shouted: "Dongling Kong Xiu, I have killed you, and you also want to die?" ”

Han Fu knew that it was useless to say more, so he immediately gave an order to let Meng Tan, who had been lurking on the side earlier, lead the army to kill, wanting to go and capture Guan Yu.

That Meng Tan thought that no matter how brave Guan Yu was, he was only one person, and now he asked the sergeant to prepare bows and arrows to surround Guan Yu in front of the pass, so that Guan Yu could avoid it, so that Guan Yu could be captured.

It's a pity that Han Fu and Meng Tan shouldn't have ambushed Guan Yu like this, because Guan Yu's sister-in-law Liang Lan was still behind, and they did so, but Guan Yu misunderstood that they were going to be unfavorable to his sister-in-law.

Therefore, when Guan Yu saw that Han Fu had already been ambushed by military horses, he was even more angry, and felt that his previous beheading of Kong Xiu was not enough to deter these Cao generals, so he decided to behead them several more generals to let them know how powerful they were.

At that moment, Guan Yu pulled the red rabbit horse, like a gust of wind, and rushed towards Cao Jun who came out from behind.

Seeing this, Meng Tan hurriedly ordered the soldiers to release arrows, and a burst of whirring arrows shot towards Guan Yu.

However, they greatly miscalculated the speed of the Red Rabbit Horse, and Guan Yu, who was furious, increased the speed of the Red Rabbit Horse to the fastest, and those bows and arrows that shot him couldn't catch him for a while.

With a bang, Guan Yu and his men and horses rushed into Meng Tan's military formation at once, and the big sword was cold and cold, and where the red rabbit horse passed, countless Cao soldiers died tragically.

Seeing this, Meng Tan was startled, and when he saw Guan Yu rushing straight towards him, he hurriedly reined in his horse and wanted to escape, but he couldn't walk two steps before he was killed by Guan Yu and cut him under the horse with a knife in two. (To be continued......)
