Guan Hai's army crossed the Funiu Ridge and marched towards the Liubei River, and Liu Xuan's army was moving in the opposite direction. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The army is advancing, not very fast.

On the one hand, Guan Hai had to guard against Liu Xuan's attack; On the other hand, Guan Hai had to delay time for the other two armies. When he was halfway through the march, Guan Hai got the news that Liu Xuan's army took the initiative to kill.

Guan Hai didn't have any anxiety and proceeded according to his plan.

"Da! Da! ”

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.

A sentry scout rode his horse and ran, and when he arrived, he turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and said: "Leader, an officer and soldier have been caught in front, he claims to be Liu Xuan's envoy, and he has come to write a war letter." ”

"Oh, Warbook?"

Guan Haihu's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he waved his hand and said, "Bring it up." ”

After giving the order, Guan Hai ordered the army to stop advancing.

Liu Xuan wrote a war letter, Guan Hai was quite curious, what did Liu Xuan do?

After a short time, a man with a burly figure and sharp eyes, wearing a cyan robe, appeared in front of Guan Hai's eyes. Guan Hai's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and said, "Zhou Cang? It's you. ”

The surrounding Yellow Turban soldiers fell on Zhou Cang with their eyes stunned.

Zhou Cang's name is also known to the Yellow Turban soldiers.

dominates the side in Guanyang County, and is a powerful figure.

Zhou Cang was neither humble nor arrogant, and arched his hand: "Brother Guan, I haven't seen you for many years, but my demeanor is still the same." ”

Guan Hai smiled and said unhurriedly: "Brother Zhou Xian, I'm fine, but you have changed." The Yellow Turban Army took the overthrow of the imperial court as its mission and the goal of pacifying the troubled times, but you became a lackey of the imperial court officials? It's just a lackey of the court, and it's really disappointing to choose a stinky boy to be the ruler. ”

Zhou Cang had already prepared, he was not annoyed, and said very calmly: "Brother Guan took it as his mission to overthrow the imperial court, why didn't he lead troops to kill Luoyang, but hid in a small county town in Donglai County?" Now for a little food, you are still raising troops to attack Guanyang County? Since it is to calm the troubled times, why should Brother Guan attack Guanyang County, start another war, and put the people in trouble? ”

The words of questioning are-for-tat.

"Ha, I didn't expect that after many years, the mouth of the virtuous brother is so powerful."

Guan Hai didn't blush at all, and said a word with a smile, revealing the-for-tat atmosphere just now.

As soon as the conversation changed, Guan Hai asked, "What does it mean that Brother Xian came to issue a war letter as Liu Xuan's envoy?" ”

Zhou Cang raised his head and said: "My lord is kind and sympathetic to the lives and safety of the soldiers under his command, and he doesn't want to cause more casualties, so he came up with a way to solve this war." This is the origin of the lord's war letter. ”

Guan Hai said: "Don't beat around the bush, just say it!" ”

Zhou Cang said unhurriedly: "The lord issued a war letter, and he intends to decide the outcome by fighting generals. There are three generals on the side of Guanyang County, and three generals on the side of Brother Guan, fighting one by one. The rules of the fighting general, two wins in three games, the loser's side, unconditional surrender. ”

Zhou Cang raised his voice so that the Yellow Turban soldiers around him could hear it, and said loudly: "Although the lord is young, he is kind and generous, and he is considerate of the soldiers. Brother Guan, in order to avoid the blood flowing into the river of fighting and avoid the expansion of the war. The lord has already given a way to decide the outcome of the battle, do you dare to face the battle, then take care of the brother? ”

"If Brother Guan is unwilling, Zhou Cang will turn around and leave, and go back to inform the lord."

"If Brother Guan responds, you can start to prepare."

Zhou Cang's eyes showed a hint of expectation, and he said, "Brother Guan, everything depends on your decision." ”

In Guan Hai's mind, he turned rapidly.

Liu Xuan's way of fighting made Guan Hai a little moved.

Two wins in three games, even if he loses two games in a row, he can regret it. Especially since he is definitely going to play, once he fights with Liu Xuan and wins Liu Xuan, he can reverse the situation.

Guan Hai's gaze swept around.

The Yellow Turban soldiers under his command all heard the news.

Refusal, that is, he is afraid.

Guan Hai is the main general, Liu Xuan took the initiative to come to the door to challenge, if he avoids the battle, the military spirit of the Yellow Turban soldiers under his command will be affected, and he and his prestige will also be affected.

No matter what aspect he considers, Guan Hai can't refuse.

Whether Liu Xuan has other thoughts, Guan Hai can't guess, and there is no need to guess. As long as the location of the fighting general is set temporarily, not chosen by Liu Xuan first, it is enough to ensure that there is no ambush. Moreover, fighting with Liu Xuan, to a certain extent, is also delaying time, which can buy time for the armies of the other two routes.

Guan Hai said loudly: "Zhou Cang, go back and tell Liu Xuan that when the two armies meet, it will be the day of the fight." ”

"Good!"

Zhou Cang clenched his fists and rode his horse to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Suddenly, Guan Hai shouted.

Zhou Cang said: "Brother Guan, is there anything else?" ”

Guan Hai smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhou Xian's martial arts are outstanding, and he is proficient in marching and fighting. People like you are the kind of people we will need. If you are willing to return, Ben will promise to let you lead the army alone. ”

Zhou Cang said: "Brother Guan is kind, Cangxin has received it." However, the lord is wise and wise, wise and martial, and is a wise lord. Since Zhou Cang has submitted to the lord, he will no longer be half-hearted. Brother Guan, farewell. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Cang rode away.

Guan Hai looked at Zhou Cang's departing back, and there was a look of deep groaning in his eyes.

Zhou Cang is a more serious person, and now he insists on following Liu Xuan, which shows Liu Xuan's extraordinary.

Wang Hu walked over, hugged his fists and said, "Leader, Liu Xuan suddenly proposed to fight, will there be fraud?" Although Wang Hu doesn't know much, he understands some common sense.

Guan Hai snorted and said, "How to deal with it?" Of course I know. The order went down, slowed down the march, and did not let Liu Xuan find out the time when we would meet him. ”

"No!"

Wang Hu got the order and turned around to give the order.

Guan Hai was also extremely cunning, he was worried that the position where he met Liu Xuan would go wrong, so he deliberately made such an arrangement.

Two armies, marching in the opposite direction.

If it is an average speed, Liu Xuan can estimate the time and place of Guan Hai's arrival, and Liu Xuan can set up an ambush in advance. However, Guan Hai ordered to slow down, making the time and place of arrival untraceable, so that Liu Xuan could not figure out the terrain and topography of the final battle, and Liu Xuan could avoid an ambush.

The army soon set off again and continued on its way.

The next morning, when the two armies were less than eight miles apart, they received news of a meeting. After a brief exchange of views, the two sides were four miles away and set up camp separately.

The camps of the two armies were arranged in an orderly manner.

"Boom! Boom! ”

At this time, in Liu Xuan's camp, the sound of war drums rang out.

The voice was mighty and reached Guan Hai's army.

After Liu Xuan's actions attracted Guan Hai's attention, he left the camp with a team of soldiers and went straight to the outside of the camp. Liu Xuan rode his horse and stood up, and his eyes fell on Guan Hai's camp.
