Chapter 260: Bloody Misery

On the ancient road, hundreds of war horses galloped quickly.

It was Guan Yu who took the lead, but it was Liu Bei who got the news of Wuhuan's invasion of Zhuo County, and ordered Guan Yu to take the only few hundred cavalry to assist the defenders. After all, Zhuojun is the place where Liu Bei started, so he can't be careless.

And Liu Bei himself continued to stalemate with Yan Liang with Zhang Fei, waiting for the time to break the enemy.

"I've been running for a few days, and I haven't seen a ghost!" One of Guan Yu's entourage, the cavalry, said depressedly.

Youzhou is desolate, not as populated as the Central Plains, and often hundreds of miles uninhabited.

"It's almost to Zhuoxian, don't talk too much!" Guan Yu scolded.

Although Guan Yu is still very calm, he also has some doubts in his heart, shouldn't he be, he is about to arrive at the county seat of Zhuoxian, why hasn't he met anyone? The Wuhuan people can't expel everyone here, can they?

"General, look, it seems to be the official barracks tent ......"

Guan Yu was thinking about it, and there was a ** shouting.

"Huh?"

Guan Yu rode on the high ground where the caller was, and as far as he could see, there were countless tents standing in the distance, just looking at the smoky and dilapidated appearance of the camp, a bad premonition appeared in his mind.

"Attacked camp?" Guan Yu frowned.

"Accelerate!"

Guan Yu rushed to the dilapidated camp first, only to see the tents standing there crookedly, most of them were burned and mutilated, and countless corpses were criss-crossed.

"General, it's been a few days since the battle, and it seems that the camp was attacked by the Wuhuan people, but the whole army was not wiped out, it looks like it should be evacuated!" One of the scouts dismounted and picked up a piece of blood-stained soil, and spoke.

"It's possible, look there, there is still burned grain and grass, this must be burned by the barracks themselves, if the Wuhuan people will definitely take these grain and grass away!" Another scout also found out what was wrong.

"But why are there officers and soldiers stationed here? Shouldn't they be in the county seat of Zhuoxian not far away? ”

"This is the old rule of Zhuo County, you have to go out on patrol in autumn to guard the ...... of the autumn harvest" Guan Yu said in a low voice, his face gloomy as if he could drip water.

"Let's check with the people nearby to find out where these officers and soldiers are going...... By the way, ask about the fighting situation in Zhuoxian! Guan Yu gave another order.

However, hundreds of people rode horses to search for a radius of ten miles, and found not half a living person, a desolate scene, and many newly dead corpses lying in the grass.

"Something isn't right! Hurry up and go to the county seat! "Guan Yu's heart is finally messed up, a few years ago, Guan Yu also stayed in Zhuo County for a long time, although the surrounding area of Zhuo County is not prosperous, but there are a lot of pedestrians coming and going, and now there is no living person, is it really to the point of no return?

Continue to hurry, all the way down there are desolate scenery everywhere, and after walking for dozens of miles, I didn't find a single living person, and I didn't find a single village!

"Where are we going, if we don't change horses, this horse will be tired to death!" One of the knights complained.

"It's not getting early, find a place to rest for the night, even if we don't have to rest, the horses need to rest!" Guan Yu seemed to hear the discussions of the people around him and made a decision.

After leaving Zhuo County for so long, Guan Yu also forgot a little about the road, and originally thought that it should be not far from the county seat, but after running for two hours, he didn't even see the shadow of the county seat. Although I was anxious, I couldn't rush without a head, so I had a plan to rest for the time being.

Hundreds of people ran and walked for about ten miles like this, and by taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet completely dark, they vaguely saw the outline of a city in front of them.

"The county seat? The county seat of Zhuoxian County has arrived? ”

"Strange, why don't the people of this county close the city gate?"

It was just getting dark, but there was not a word in the city.

"Could it be that Zhuo County has been breached?" Guan Yu was a little stunned.

"Into town!"

Guan Yu commanded in a low voice.

Walking into the county seat, it was still quiet, a gust of evening wind blew, and a smell of blood came to my nose!

Guan Yu shouted badly, and hurriedly dismounted to watch.

By the night light, walking into a house with an open door, the strong smell of blood made Guan Yu couldn't help but wrinkle his nose.

The pale moonlight shone through the door into the house.

I saw a corpse hanging on the beam of the house, and the blood dripped from his feet and fell to the ground with the wind blowing from outside the door.

Guan Yu found a chair and put the body down.

"It was disemboweled before it was hung on the roof beam!" Guan Yu looked at this man's flesh-and-blood chest, his face full of resentment.

"Fuck! So many dead people! When Guan Yu was secretly ruthless, the other cavalry who entered Zhuo County also shouted, obviously there was a tragic situation everywhere in the city.

"Wuhuan dog thief! It's really all brutes! Guan Yu suddenly clenched his fists.

Putting down the corpse, Guan Yu continued to walk around the house, his instinct telling him that other places might be even worse. He seemed to want to take in all the misery, and then let this hatred take root in his heart.

Sure enough, on the wall that turned into the wing, a three- or four-year-old child was nailed to the wall, his eyes were wide open, full of nostalgia for the world, and his nostalgic expression seemed to be mixed with a kind of unwillingness and hatred.

"Five horse nails, four nailed to his limbs, and one nailed to his neck!"

Guan Yu carefully pulled out the nail and carried the child, who had died before he could enjoy the happiness brought by this world, to the man's corpse.

"This is probably his father, here is a family of three, this child also has a mother, there is no need to guess, it is definitely in the room!"

This thought suddenly popped up in Guan Yu's heart.

Not to Guan Yu's surprise, on the bed in the side room, there was a ** female corpse, and by the faint light, the female corpse's body was glowing with a miserable white color.

Guan Yu walked over and wrapped her in the quilt, and turned her body over for her, only to see the bottom of this female corpse? There is a saber stuck in the body!

Guan Yu held the female corpse and placed it next to the bodies of her husband and son.

"I will avenge you!" Guan Yu said expressionlessly at the three corpses in an almost oath-like tone.

Guan Yu's eyes flashed with endless anger, this was the second time in his life that he had made a vow, except for the Taoyuan when he worshipped, Guan Yu felt that his heart was occupied by someone else for the first time.

"Since we're here, we can't let their bodies be exposed, dig a pit and bury them!"

Guan Yu didn't need to look to guess the situation in other places in the city, most of which were not much different from this place. Glancing at the three corpses again, as if to deeply engrave this hatred in his mind, Guan Yu gave an order to the entourage beside him
