Chapter 369: Passing Five Levels and Killing Six Generals (3)
After killing Han Fu, Guan Yu ordered to replenish fresh water and food in the pass, and after a short stay, he continued to walk towards the Bishui Pass in the north.
Zhou Cang is very familiar with Bian Xi, the guard general of Bishui Pass, this person used to be the Yellow Turban Yu Party, and later surrendered to Cao Cao in Qingzhou, Cao Cao saw that he was good at using a meteor hammer, and the hammer hair was quite measured, so he asked him to come to Bishui Pass to station, and promoted him to be the main general of Yishuiguan. According to Zhou Cang, this person is insidious and cunning, and has a strong utilitarian heart, so Zhou Cang speculated that he would definitely try his best to intercept himself and others, but because of Guan Yu's prestige, he would definitely not come hard, maybe he would come up with some conspiracy.
Zhou Cang's reminder made Guan Yu's heart a little more embankment, and some of the overturned boats in the gutter were that Guan Yu would never allow himself to be harmed by Xiaoxiao's design before he saw Zhang Fei, and he could let the arrogant Guan Yu give birth to a little bit of release, which shows how important Zhang Fei is in his heart.
As Zhou Cang expected, after Guan Yu and others arrived, Bian Xi of Bishui Pass did not frown coldly like the previous guards, but showed great closeness, eagerly welcomed Guan Yu and others into the Guannei, and set up a banquet to entertain Guan Yu and Zhou Cang in the Zhenguo Temple in the Guannei.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Bian Xi thought in his heart: Seeing Guan Yu's calm expression, he must have no heart to be vigilant, so he can exit the hall and summon a knife and axe hand to chop them into meat sauce! Bian Xi thought about it, and was just about to get up, but an old monk walked in from outside the hall, came straight to Guan Yu, folded his hands, and asked, "Does the prince still recognize the old monk?" ”
Guan Yu looked at it for a long time, but he just felt that his face was raw, and he couldn't help but say with some embarrassment: "Guan is clumsy, and I hope that the monk will forgive me." The monk smiled slightly and continued: "Before the old monk left home, his home was only separated from the general's house by a river. ”
"A river apart? Could it be the Qinglong River? Guan Yu hurriedly asked.
The old monk nodded and sighed, "The general was born on the bank of the Qinglong River. Later, it was famous for the Qinglong Yanyue knife, the old monk used to be the general of the divination Zen machine, I am afraid that the general will use the name of the green dragon in the future, as a minister. ”
Bian Xi knew this old monk, who was the presiding officer of Zhenguo Temple, Pujing, and at this moment saw Pujing and Guan Yu chatting about family life, for fear that he would leak the news, so he quickly stood up and said: "Pujing Zen Master, today is a drinking party, and Zen Master is a master of Taoism." Don't get involved, right? ”
When Pujing heard this, he didn't know what to say, so he had to bow to Guan Yu, and by lowering his body, he secretly glanced at Guan Yu, his eyes swept vaguely to both sides of the hall, and his hands each took out a little finger, nodded slightly to both sides, and then straightened up. Exited the hall.
Seeing Pu Jing carrying Bian Xi on his back to give him a look and gesticulating, why didn't Guan Yu understand that Bian Xi had already laid down the sword and axe hand on both sides outside the hall? At that moment, Guan Yu raised his head and looked at Bian Xi, and said coldly: "The general invited Guan to the banquet." Is it good intentions, or is it bad intentions? ”
Bian Xi saw Guan Yu in such a demeanor, knowing that the matter had been leaked, so he no longer hid it. shouted angrily: "Guan Yu! Today is your day of death! Left and right, slash and slash! The sword and axe hands that had already been lying in ambush on both sides of the hall roared into the hall, picked up the knife and axe and rushed towards Guan Yu.
"If I knew you wouldn't have had a good intention!" Zhou Cang shouted violently. grabbed the Qinglong Glaive Knife placed beside him, threw it to Guan Yu, then pulled out the steel knife at his waist, and swooped back towards the knife and axe hand who rushed over.
Guan Yu grabbed the Qinglong Yanyue Knife with his hand, and took Bian Xi with a loud shout, Bian Xi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out the meteor hammer from the backpack behind him, and fought with Guan Yu in steps. The meteor hammer is an extremely rare outer door blade, and it is extremely complicated to use, the more complex the weapon, the higher the requirements for the generals, and often the people who use such a side weapon are either the top masters, or the vulgar and unbearable inferior people. Just like Lu Bu and Wu Anguo, who had one of his hands cut off, Lu Bu studied the uncommon weapon of Fang Tian's painting halberd to the extreme, so he was called the god of war, and Wu Anguo, like Bian Xi, used a meteor hammer, but he was cut off by Lu Bu between three moves before the tiger prison pass.
The Bian Xi martial arts in front of him are only slightly higher than the original Wu Anguo, but Guan Yu at this moment is no longer the Guan Yu of more than ten years ago, as time goes by, the current Guan Yu is even more terrifying than when the three heroes fought against Lu Bu, and the perception of martial arts is not known to be a few realms higher than the original!
Therefore, Bian Xi's fate has long been doomed, and he has no second way to go except defeat. After only two moves between the two, Guan Yu used the Qinglong Glaive Knife to cut the iron chain on Bian Xi's meteor hammer, and then strode the knife and slashed Bian Xi to the ground with one sword. On the other side, Zhou Cang alone swung his sword and killed left and right in the hands of two hundred Cao army swords and axes, and did not fall behind at all, but the Cao soldiers who killed him retreated.
Hearing the sound of fighting in the hall, the five hundred school swordsmen of the headquarters who had already been instructed by Guan Yu broke in, and after seeing the situation in the hall, without saying a word, they drew their knives together with Zhou Cang, and the two hundred swordsmen and axemen who were ambushed by Bian Xi cut melons and vegetables, and the hall of the Zhenguo Temple was full of mutilated bodies, and the red blood and water gathered together, converging into streams, and flowing down the steps of the hall into the courtyard outside.
After killing Bian Xi and others, Guan Yu led his troops to the granary in the Guannei, opened the granary and distributed it to the residents of the Guannei, and then went to Bian Xi's mansion to gather the money he had looted on weekdays, and then divided it into three, one-third was scattered to the people, one-third was left for entanglement on the road, and the other one-third, Guan Yu donated to Zhenguo Temple, which was regarded as incense money for Pujing.
In the first few checkpoints, Guan Yu has never committed any crimes in Qiu, but he just took away a purple horse in Dongling Pass, but this Bian Xi is really hateful, with his person, I believe that he has not scavenged the people's fat and ointment on weekdays, and Guan Yu will not let go of these ill-gotten gains. After distributing the money and food, Guan Yu asked Zhou Cang to burn Bian Xi's mansion clean, and then continued to embark on the road to Yanjing under the billowing smoke.
At the same time that Guan Yu passed the pass, Cao Cao of Changyi also received the news of Guan Yu's entry. At the beginning, Cao Cao didn't understand Guan Yu's intentions, but just asked the guards everywhere along the way to tighten their guard and not let Guan Yu pass. But later, bad news came frequently, Dongling Guan Kongxiu was killed, and Cao Cao spent a sky-high price to buy Ziyu and was taken away by him. After receiving the news, Cao Cao just smiled and said: "BMW gives heroes." Just take this purple horse and send it to Yunchang. ”
Then, the guards Han Fu and Meng Tan were both beheaded eighty miles outside Luoyang City, and Guan Yu broke through the pass and left, which made the generals under Cao Cao unbearable, don't forget, they had just withdrawn from the battlefield in Hanzhong, and had just experienced the tragic defeat of Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Ao Lie who had broken into the camp alone. But Cao Cao saw it very clearly. He judged from Guan Yu's walking route that he was all the way to the north, so Cao Cao speculated that Guan Yu was going to Yanjing, and the reason for this could only be for the recent rumored affair of Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei was made a marquis by Yan Wang Ao Lie, and the courtesy was much higher than his treatment when he was under Liu Bei, not to mention that Liu Bei was only a general of Zuo, acting as the pastor of Yizhou. There is no power to be a marquis at all. Guan Yu was going to Yanjing to find Zhang Fei and ask Zhang Fei in person why he would join Ao Lie.
After judging Guan Yu's intentions, instead of sending troops to increase the defense, Cao Cao hurriedly sent fast horses to the checkpoint to the north. Inform the guards everywhere that if you see Guan Yu, don't argue with him, and let him lead his troops to pass the customs. Cao Cao did so. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone, and sold Guan Yu a favor, making him feel his respect for him. In order to leave an extra way to retreat in the future, and at the same time, it can lead the troubles to the east, and let Guan Yu go to Ao Lie's territory to make trouble, no matter how much trouble it takes, anyway, it will only be Ao Lie and Liu Bei who will lose, Cao Cao has no loss at all, so why not do it?
It's a pity that Cao Cao's order was not sent to the guards along the way in time, until Wang Zhi, the guard of Xingyang Pass, and Qin Qi, the guard of the Yellow River crossing, died under Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue knife, and after Guan Yu crossed five passes and killed six generals, and crossed thousands of miles of unstoppable reputation, Cao Cao's warrant was sent to Liu Ye, the Taishou of Wei County. Liu Ye was originally a member of the Han family, and later came out under Cao Cao, Cao Cao has always been suspicious of him, relying on his talents, but also worried that he is a member of the Han family, which will be unfavorable to himself, so he sent him to Wei County, the only Jizhou county controlled by Cao Cao, as Cao Hong's staff officer, and later in order to prepare for the battle in Hanzhong, Cao Cao transferred Cao Hong away, Liu Ye was corrected and became the Taishou of Wei County.
After receiving Cao Cao's order, Liu Ye thought about it for a while and understood Cao Cao's intentions, so he personally took ten ferries to the bank of the Yellow River to meet Guan Yu and prepare to send Guan Yu across the river.
didn't let Liu Ye wait too long on the shore, he saw a team of people and horses coming over quickly from a distance, the first one was in a green robe and gold armor, his face was red, and he was holding a Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand, Liu Ye knew that Guan Yu had arrived, and shouted from afar: "General Guan!" On the order of Sikong, a ferry has already been prepared here, and General Guan is asked to cross the river with confidence. ”
Guan Yu grabbed the reins of Zi Yu and asked suspiciously, "How could Cao Sikong know that Dao Guan was going to cross the river?" ”
Liu Ye said with a smile: "I know astronomy and geography, how can I not know General Guan's itinerary?" Previously, Sikong had already sent someone to send a pass token, but he missed it with General Guan, causing General Guan to go all the way and delay a lot of time, Sikong asked Liu Ye to apologize to General Guan again. By the way, Sikong also said that BMW gave the hero, this purple horse, which can be regarded as a gift from Sikong to General Guan. ”
Hearing Cao Cao's special courtesy to him, Guan Yu's heart moved, and he hugged his fist towards Liu Ye and said: "Guan Mou has thanked Sikong for his care, this kindness, Guan Mou has written it down, and he will definitely return it ten times in the future!" ”
When Liu Ye heard this, he knew that Cao Cao's intention had been achieved, and let Guan Yu remember a kindness, which not everyone can do, a person like Guan Yu who attaches great importance to love and righteousness, a promise is the same for a lifetime!
Just when Guan Yu turned over and dismounted, and was just about to get on the boat, an angry shout suddenly came from behind him: "Guan Yu is leaving!" (To be continued......)
PS: PS: Da Kun laid two foreshadowings in this chapter, the first is to let Guan Yu owe Cao Cao a favor, and the second is Pujing's divination prophecy to Guan Yu, saying that Guan Yu and the word Qinglong are fated, and will be named Qinglong in the future and be a very popular minister, interested friends can guess, what kind of things will these two foreshadowings extend in the future?
