Chapter Eighty-Four: Refuse
Cao Ren had never fought against Guan Yu, although he had heard others mention Guan Yu's prestige, but he always thought that this was just a kind of elevation of Guan Yu by others.
But after this battle, he realized that he had made a big mistake in this thinking.
Guan Yu is worthy of being a famous general under Liu Bei, judging from the current situation, he may not be his opponent.
It's just that now there is hand-to-hand combat between the two, and the weapons in his hands have an advantage, and he is really not afraid of Guan Yu for a while.
And the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in Guan Yu's hand was constantly slashing, and a big knife weighing dozens of catties was like no weight in his hand, swinging smoothly and very casually.
On the other hand, Cao Ren, now the tiger's mouth has been shaken numb, and the saber in his hand has also been stained red with blood, this is because the tiger's mouth has been cracked just now, and the blood has flowed all over the hilt.
The horse under his crotch is not as strong as the red rabbit, and now the horse is exhausted, and it seems that it can't last long.
Under this double pressure, Cao Ren naturally felt that he was about to lose this competition.
And these sword and axe men around him naturally also paid attention to the decline of the main general, and one of them picked up a bow and arrow and wanted to sneak attack Guan Yu.
But at this time, Guan Yu suddenly turned his blade, and then directly cut off the person's head.
The corpse fell to the ground, and Guan Yu sneered: "I thought General Cao Ren was so heroic, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that, and he actually instigated his subordinates to sneak attack in secret." ”
Cao Ren snorted coldly: "It's because my own skills are not as good as others, and my subordinates naturally should defend me, but I am indeed not General Guan's opponent, and I lost this battle." ”
"It's good that you know, with all due respect, since the death of Dian Wei under the Prime Minister's account, none of these generals under the Prime Minister are my opponents, including Xu Chu."
Hearing this, Cao Ren's face changed suddenly.
If he heard someone say this before, he would definitely say that person was too arrogant, but now it seems that Guan Yu does have the capital to be arrogant.
The knife in his hand was just too fast.
is so fast that he can't even react, and in the end he can only end up being suppressed everywhere.
If it weren't for Guan Yu's mercy just now, he would probably be beheaded by the horse now.
"Cao Cheng is kind to me, so this time I will spare your life, please convey to Prime Minister Cao Cheng for me when I go back, I Jingzhou and him have no intention of attacking, I hope that the prime minister can do it himself, if you really want to fight each other, I Jingzhou is not afraid."
Although Guan Yu's voice was not high, what he said was loud.
Cao Ren nodded: "General Guan is really courageous. ”
"General Cao is indeed so brave that he dares to intercept me here."
"Each is its master, I am also helpless, and the general personally protected Zhuge Liang to Yuzhou this time, which has already attracted the attention of the prime minister, although the prime minister is interested in the general, but he has no good impression of Zhuge Liang."
Guan Yu stretched out his hand and stroked his beard: "Zhuge Liang is my military advisor in Jingzhou after all, since I know that it is my Guan who came to escort him, then the prime minister should know that if I Guan is not dead, I will not let people hurt Zhuge Junshi, unless I Guan dies today, Zhuge Liang must return to Jingzhou alive." ”
"In that case, please ask General Guan to confer the head here."
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from behind Guan Yu, followed by the sound of an urn.
Guan Yu turned his head to look and found that at this time, there was a big man behind him eyeing him.
This person is none other than Xu Chu under Cao Cao's account.
He and Cao Ren also mentioned this person just now, but I didn't expect him to appear in front of him alive now, it seems that he should have been sent by Cao Cao.
"Your Excellency is here too, and it seems that this place is getting more and more interesting."
"That's right, the prime minister just ordered, if Guan Yu stops it, you can also kill it directly, I came this time to personally send General Guan on the road, as for Zhuge Liang, there are naturally other people who personally lead the troops to intercept and kill, General Guan doesn't have to worry, you can take care of it on the Huangquan Road."
After Xu Chu finished speaking, he waved the big knife in his hand and slashed directly towards Guan Yu.
He had been observing in the rear for a long time just now, and he had already seen the fight between Guan Yu and Cao Ren, and he had also watched when Guan Yu was beheading Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
At that time, he found that although Guan Yu's sword skills were brave and unmatched, they lacked a bit of flexibility, and being too strong was definitely not a long-term solution.
And after all, the military general eats the rice of youth, if he is old, the sword law will not be as sharp as it is now.
The reason why he dared to come this time was mainly because he had already researched a way to crack Guan Yu's sword method, that is, he must find a flaw.
Only by finding the right time can you kill the enemy in one blow.
The reason why he was watching from the sidelines just now and didn't step forward in person was to let Cao Ren consume Guan Yu's physical strength first.
When the physical strength is exhausted to a certain extent, Guan Yu's sword law will no longer be as sharp as before.
At that time, it was the time for him to break the enemy and make contributions.
But he didn't expect that this time he went to Yuzhou, Guan Yu had already been ordered by the masters, and this time his sword skills had changed greatly, and it was already different from before.
So this time, Xu Chu is destined to suffer.
The knives in the hands of the two just collided together, and then there was a tooth-souring sound, and then the sparks burst out, and Xu Chu was suppressed.
Xu Chu is Cao Cao's personal guard, and he is used to replace Dian Wei's existence.
And Xu Chu is a little more loyal than Dian Wei, although he does not have the courage of ten thousand people like the former, but he is also one of the best generals.
But now he didn't take advantage of Guan Yu, the most important thing is that Guan Yu had already fought with Cao Ren before, and now it seems that Guan Yu is by no means an idle person.
Cao Ren was also secretly glad in his heart at this time, just now Guan Yu showed mercy to his subordinates.
It was too reckless to personally lead the army to come this time.
thought that Guan Yu was just touted, so he was praised on the altar.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
Guan Yu's strength should definitely not be underestimated, at least if Guan Yu didn't show mercy to his subordinates just now, he would also end up in a different place now.
The two started a real competition here, and at this time, in the rear, Ye Hui was also surrounded by a group of people.
And the team leader is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.
This person is also a fierce general under Cao Cao, and he is still an old acquaintance with Guan Yu, so it is no wonder that he did not send him to kill Guan Yu in person.
