It was getting late after Guan Yu came out of Dongling Pass, and at this time there were two forks in the road ahead, all the way to the north and all the way to the west. Guan Yu first ordered everyone to camp and rest, and then discussed with Nan Ye: "This road leads to Guandu in the north and Luoyang in the west. Although the north road is close, it is afraid that there will be a large army to defend it, and it is difficult to pass the pass. I want to cross the river around Luoyang, what does the master think? ”

Nan Ye knew in his heart what Guan Yu was worried about, after the Battle of Guandu, the front line of Xuchang, Guandu, and Yecheng was heavily guarded, and Cao Cao was also worried about Yuan Mai's counterattack or the infiltration of spies. If he encounters a guard like Kong Xiu all the way to the north and kills him, Guan Yu is not sure that he will be able to kill Hebei. On the other hand, the Luoyang territory, which has been abandoned for a long time and is sparsely populated, has to be much more slackened in defense. Nan Ye also felt that there was more chance of getting rid of Zhang Xiu's 1,000 men and horses by taking a detour, so he agreed to Guan Yu's proposal and headed for Luoyang the next day.

There are still a few small checkpoints along the way from Dongling Pass to Luoyang, but the official position of the guard general is low, and he does not dare to stop the men and horses led by Guan Yu, Nan Ye, and Zhang Xiu. These small passes along the way also knew that Guan Yu and his party did not have customs clearance documents, so they did not dare to stop them, so they passed the news to Luoyang.

After a few years of recuperation, Luoyang has gathered some people, although it has not yet regained its former prosperity, but a small city has been built on the old site. Luoyang Taishou Han Fu learned that Guan Yu and Nan Ye were coming, and gathered the generals to discuss: "Guan Yu, Nan Ye, Zhang Xiu, Zhu Ling, and Lu Zhao led their troops to break through the pass, and they were unable to intercept the small pass all the way, so they all reported the news to us. Shall I wait to stop it? ”

The tooth general Meng Tan said: "If there is no prime minister's document, it is a private act, if you don't block it, we will be guilty." ”

Han Fu said: "Guan Yu is brave, Hua Xiong and Yan Liang are killed. Although Master Nan Ye has no brave name, he can predict the prophet. Zhang Xiu and others are not unknown. We can't defeat these five people, so we can only design to capture them, and if we don't have a plan, it's better to let them go. ”

Meng Tan said: "I have a plan, I can first use the antlers to block the pass, and when the soldiers and horses arrive, they will lead troops to fight with them, feign defeat and lure him to chase, and Taishou can shoot it with hidden arrows." As long as one general is captured, the rest will break through, and we will also have no fault. ”

Han Fu didn't have the confidence to deal with the five generals and more than a thousand people, but he still had confidence in dealing with the first general. As Meng Tan said, if everyone is let go, I'm afraid Cao Cao will blame him and treat him badly, if he can catch one person, no matter who it is, he can have an explanation in front of Cao Cao.

After the discussion stopped, Han Fu took a bow and inserted arrows, led a thousand men and horses, and lined up the pass. Looking at the people in the distance, they approached and asked knowingly, "Who is coming?" ”

Guan Yu immediately bowed and said: "I am Guan Yu, the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, please let the general make way and borrow it." ”

Han Fudao: "Is there a document from Prime Minister Cao Cheng?" ”

Guan Yu replied: "I haven't asked for it!" But there is a national teacher and General Zhang here as proof. ”

Han Fudao: "I flattered the prime minister's order to guard this place, and I specially investigated the spies who came and went. If you don't have a paperwork, you will flee, and you can take your life. ”

Guan Yu said angrily: "Dongling Kong Xiu has been killed by me. Do you want to die? ”

Han Fu said: "Isn't it a spy to kill people and break through the level? Who will take me for it? ”

Meng Tan came out according to the plan, and fought Guan Yu with two knives. This time, Guan Yu was instructed by Nan Ye, and did not step forward, but stepped back and said to Zhang Xiu and the others: "The three generals are escorting us, and please come forward to explain." ”

Zhang Xiu was helpless and was about to speak, but Meng Tan couldn't help but say that the double knife had arrived. Zhang Xiu had no choice but to raise his gun to greet him first, and Meng Tan slashed three times in a row and left. Zhang Xiu wanted to catch up and stop Meng Tan to explain, so he raised his spear and urged the horse to chase after him.

Han Fushan saw Zhang Xiu chasing after him behind the door flag, and tried his best to release an arrow. Zhang Xiu was unprepared, only came to dodge slightly, the arrow hit the left shoulder, and he rolled off the horse with a cry of pain. When Meng Tan saw Zhang Xiu fall off the horse, he returned to the horse and wanted to capture him alive.

Zhang Xiu is not a vegetarian either, and when he saw Meng Tan Malai, he stabbed out with a shot and hit the horse's neck. Meng Tan's war horse screamed sadly, flipped Meng Tan to the ground, and threw his two knives far away. Zhang Xiu's left shoulder was injured, and he couldn't hold the spear in his right hand, seeing the gun in his hand hanging on the horse's neck, being dragged away by the dying and struggling war horse.

Meng Tan struggled to get up, and saw Zhang Xiu, who had lost his weapon, and wanted to pick up the knife and fight again. But he flew out with a pair of double knives, and he could only pick up one first. Zhang Xiu took the opportunity to pick up the other one, and the two fought in one place with a single knife in hand.

Since seeing Zhang Xiu fall off the horse, Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao led their troops to rush up, wanting to snatch back Zhang Xiu. Han Fu ordered his defenders to open their bows and arrows to stop the cavalry. Nan Ye and Guan Yu hid behind and smiled at each other when they saw the excitement in front of them, this was the result they wanted.

The 1,000 defenders led by Han Fu and Meng Tan finally failed to defeat the 1,000 cavalry led by Zhang Xiu, and Han Fu and Meng Tan were also killed by Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao, who rushed up to help. However, Zhang Xiu's cavalry also lost more than 200 men, and most of these cavalry died on the defenders' rain of arrows and antlers. Once the cavalry closed the distance and broke through the blockade of the antlers, the defenders could not stop the cavalry at all.

Looking at Zhang Xiu, who returned with injuries, Nan Ye was happy, but there was an anxious look on his face, and he hurriedly found Hua Tuo to treat Zhang Xiu's arrow wounds. Zhang Xiu, who was injured in his left shoulder, didn't mention Duowohuo, he thought that he had a chance to take revenge along the way, but Nan Ye didn't do well, but he was injured first, and he also lost a quarter of his people, which made him embarrassed.

Guan Yu saw that Hua Tuo had finished treating Zhang Xiu and went to treat the rest of the injured Cao Jun, and frowned slightly and said to Nan Ye: "Master, don't stay here longer, I'll wait and get on the road quickly." It's just that these wounded soldiers ......"

Nan Ye understood that Guan Yu saw that there was a lot of movement in this battle, and he was worried that there would be pursuers and did not dare to stay for a long time, but with the wounded soldiers, it was obvious that he would slow down the advance of the team. So he said to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang's arrow is very serious, so there is no need to send it." These wounded soldiers are also unable to fight again, General Zhang, please lead them back to Xuchang first to recover their lives? ”

Zhang Xiu is here to kill Nan Ye, how can he go back? Shaking his head, he said, "Why is this little injury a good idea?" I ordered the wounded soldiers to stay in Luoyang to recuperate, and I would never delay General Guan's trip. ”

Nan Ye was waiting for Zhang Xiu's words, nodded and said, "That's fine!" The wounded in the ranks remained, and the rest moved forward. The lightly injured take care of the seriously injured. With that, he ordered the Fuchu armor who was injured before to stay with him. In this way, there were only eight people left of the thirty eyeliners around Nan Ye, and Zhang Xiu's 1,000 cavalry was also reduced to 700, but all those who suffered a little bit of injury were left behind by Nan Ye.

After leaving the wounded soldiers, Guan Yu and his entourage marched to Bishui Pass overnight. The guard general of Guanzhong is Bian Xi, a native of Bingzhou, who is good at making meteor hammers. The news of Han Fu and Meng Tan's defeat and death had already spread to Guanzhong, Bian Xi knew that his martial arts might be higher than Han Fu and Meng Tan, but he couldn't match the two of them, and the defenders of Guanzhong were fewer than Luoyang soldiers, and the fighting soldiers and fighting generals were not the opponents of Guan Yu and his party.

Bian Xi knew that he was invincible, and he didn't want to let Guan Yu pass, so he thought of a plan and ambushed more than 200 knife and axe men in the Zhenguo Temple in front of Guanqian. When the time comes, the army will lose its commander, and there will be nothing to fear.

The arrangement has been decided, and Bian Xi put on a smiling face and went out to greet Guan Yu and Nan Ye. There is a way to reach out and not hit the smiling person, Guan Yu, who has broken through all the way, is also very happy to see the smiling face of the gatekeeper, and dismounts to greet Bian Xi.

Bian Xi flattered: "General Guan's name shocks the world, and tens of thousands of people admire him!" Now return to the emperor's uncle, which shows loyalty! The national teacher and General Zhang escorted them all the way, and they had a lot of hard work, and they were also invited to rest in the temple. ”

Zhenguo Temple is the incense courtyard of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, the main hall is spacious, there are many wing rooms, it is more suitable for entertaining guests than the low barracks in the Bishui Pass. Guan Yu and Zhang Xiu were not suspicious of Bian Xi's arrangement, but felt that Bian Xi was very sincere. Only Nan Ye frowned slightly, because he had already seen Bian Xi's general star record, and he had also discovered the knife and axe hand in the meditation room.

Will Xinglu: Bian Xi, and the state people's clan, Bishui Guan guard. It was originally the Yellow Turban Yu Party, and then Cao Cao, who was good at using the meteor hammer. An ambush was set up in Zhenguo Temple to kill Guan Yu, who was looking for his brother for thousands of miles, but the monk Pujing in the temple hinted at rescuing him. Zuihou was beheaded by Guan Yu.

Nan Ye wanted to remind Guan Yu to be careful, but he thought that someone would remind him later, so he couldn't help but say nothing. Otherwise, Guan Yu asked how he learned about Bian Xi's conspiracy, and he would have to waste his tongue to explain.

Guan Yu had already talked to Bian Xi about cutting Kong Xiu and Han Fu along the way at this time. Although Bian Xi hated Guan Yu in his heart, he catered to him: "The general killed well!" Who doesn't know that General Guan is a righteous person in the world, how can he be deceived and get through? What's more, there are also national teachers and generals to testify. Kong Xiu, Han Fu and others asked for trouble and deserved to die. I see the prime minister, a contemporary general. ”

Bian Xi's understanding made Guan Yu overjoyed. In all fairness, if he was not forced to do so, he would not want to kill Cao Cao's soldiers, after all, Cao Cao treated him well, and Guan Yu was a little reluctant to kill the generals all the way. As soon as he heard Bian Xi speaking to himself and was willing to explain to himself and Cao Cao, Guan Yu was naturally happy.

Everyone said that they passed to the front of Zhenguo Temple, and the monks rang the bell to greet them. There are more than 30 monks in the temple, one of which is Guan Yu's fellow villager Pujing. Although Pujing and Guan Yu are only one-sided, and they don't have much friendship, he is a nosy old man. When Pujing found that Bian Xi was ambushing people in the temple, and saw Guan Yu and Nan Ye here, he knew that Bian Xi was uneasy and kind.

When Pujing saw everyone entering the temple, he stepped forward and asked, "How many years has the general been away from home?" Do you still recognize the poor monks? ”

Guan Yu listened to Pujing's speech with a local accent, looked at it for a while but couldn't remember, and said ashamedly: "I've been away from my hometown for 20 years, and I can't get acquainted." ”

Pujing said: "The poor monk's house and the general's house are only separated by a river......"

Guan Yu listened to Pu Jing tell that the scenery of his hometown was not bad at all, so he talked with Pu Jing. Bian Xi saw that the two of them gradually got acquainted, for fear of leaking the news, and said: "I invite the general to a banquet here, what is the reason for you monk to talk and entangle, and you will not retreat!" ”

Guan Yu frowned and said, "Otherwise! How can villagers not recount their old feelings when they meet by chance? ”

Seeing that Bian Xi was suspicious, Pujing no longer said much to Guan Yu, but took the opportunity to offer tea to get close to Guan Yu, pointed to the knife he was wearing, and gave Guan Yu a look. Guan Yu saw that Pujing's behavior was abnormal, although he couldn't fully understand his meaning, he also became vigilant.
