Cao Cao actually didn't know that Guan Yu and Shen Chen knew each other.

Because he only knew that Cao Ren went to Huangmen Pavilion on a mission that day, and happened to meet Liu Guanzhang and was pursued by them.

This situation is like a killer chasing prey, and just a passer-by sees it, and when he sees it, he roars when he sees the injustice, and draws his sword to help save all the people.

Between the two, at best, it can be regarded as a strange life-saving relationship.

What's more, after that, the Shen Chen family moved to Jingzhou, and Liu Bei was working as a pastor in Xuzhou.

So he didn't know that before that, Shen Chen had interacted with Liu Guanzhang in Tao Qian's mansion, and they had a certain connection, and they already had a friendship.

Now that time has already passed, and six years have passed, and Cao Cao has even forgotten that Liu Bei once saved Shen Chen.

Therefore, he only considered the question of whether Guan Yu would take advantage of this opportunity to escape, but did not consider whether Guan Yu would take this opportunity to let Shen Chen go, and then wait for Shen Chen to go back and bring reinforcements to repel him.

However, Guan Yu at this time really won't leave, because Liu Bei's two wives are still in Xudu, and with Guan Yu's character, they will definitely be taken away together.

It's just that Cao Cao only has a simple greedy body for women, and he lives with himself, thinking that Guan Yu will not care about the life and death of the two ladies, just like most people in this troubled world, he will only treat women as property, and will not think that he is because of righteousness.

Here, Shen Chen went all the way south, and the people of Xiangcheng in later generations should know that Ziyun Mountain stretches for more than ten kilometers, although the highest point is only more than 400 meters above sea level, but it is surrounded by mountains and forests.

Only after passing this mountainous area, the road to Yexian in later generations, and now Kunyang, is extremely flat and a plain.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Yellow Gate Pavilion on the road spread their iron feet and began to sprint in small steps.

Ancient people were short of oil and water, and it was difficult to train like modern soldiers. Only the soldiers of Huangmenting have always been in sufficient supply of meat, eggs and milk, and they are supported by agriculture, commerce, and manufacturing in the whole pavilion, and their physical endurance is very good.

In just half an hour, they walked out of the road for seven or eight kilometers, and when they were about to walk out of the mountainous area of Ziyun Mountain, the sound of horses' hooves galloping in the distance was already whistling.

"Array!"

Shen Chen shouted loudly.

The surrounding heralds immediately blew the bone whistle, and the different whistles represented different commands, and the junior officers at all levels, such as the Qu military commander and the captain, immediately blew the whistle to pass on the order.

In an instant, the ranks were well trained, with the foremost sword and shield bearers crouching on the ground, their shields raised, and the spearmen resting their spears on their shoulders.

Although the cavalry was powerful, including the cavalry corps of the Wuhuan Assault Cavalry, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, it should be explained that these cavalry were all light cavalry and could not be used to charge in a frontal infantry formation, but could only be used for surprise attacks.

Because once the cavalry charges the infantry formation, even if you dodge the spear formation that is four or five meters long in the front row, rush past the first row, and reach the second or third row, you will no longer be able to run.

When the horse's charging power was exhausted and they were deeply encircled, the cavalry could only be hacked to death with swords. Therefore, the role of cavalry at that time was indeed to use mobility to complete tasks such as surprise attacks, alerts, patrols, scouts, etc., rather than killing into the enemy formation as everyone imagined.

Now that Shen Chenjun is far away, he has already seen the cavalry of the Cao army attacking again and re-arraying, and he has not yet left the mountainous area of Ziyun Mountain, with his back to the mountains, he is basically already invincible, just wait and see what the other cavalry means.

Shen Chen was riding on horseback, he had actually taken advantage of the large army to attract the enemy's main force just now, and secretly sent a few scouts to Kunyang to report the news, and asked Lou Fa to send a thousand soldiers to lead a heavy cart to meet him.

After leaving this mountainous area, they still have to walk more than ten kilometers back to Kunyang, and this plain terrain is equivalent to a dead zone for them.

The infantry was surrounded by cavalry on all sides on the grassland, and once there were no arrows, the end would be Li Ling.

So he can only choose to divide his troops.

But if the enemy also divides his troops, Shen Chen will indeed feel very tricky, so he asked the scout to ask Lou to send reinforcements, and when he returns to Kunyang, he will bring more baggage vehicles to meet Gan Ning.

Fortunately, he retreated a day in advance, which meant that they were still a day's way away from Cao's infantry, and perhaps when they arrived in Xiangcheng, Cao's infantry would only arrive at Linying. They are now in Ziyun Mountain, and it is estimated that Cao's infantry has not yet arrived in Xiangcheng, and there is enough time difference.

"The enemy is close to a mile!"

"Three hundred steps forward!"

"Two hundred steps forward!"

"One hundred and fifty steps forward!"

"Archer prepare!"

Shen Chen personally stood at the edge of the team, with Shen Tao, Deng Zhao, Shen Zhen and others beside him, commanding the battle.

Seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer, the person in front rode a blood-red BMW with a body larger than the war horse next to him, wearing a green robe fluttering, and the green dragon glaive in his hand flashed brightly in the sun.

"Wait!"

Seeing the other party's coming, Shen Chen immediately stopped the soldiers who were about to release their arrows.

When dealing with Cao Cao at the foot of Ziyun Mountain before, Shen Chen was commanding on a small hill in the rear, which was too far away for Cao Cao and Guan Yu to see him.

But now that it is close, at this moment, Guan Yu finally saw where the enemy's generals were, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were full of murderous energy.

He especially likes to watch the Spring and Autumn Festival at night, so he is a little short-sighted, not particularly serious, but if he is too far away, like now one hundred and fifty steps, nearly two hundred meters away, he does not recognize Shen Chen at all.

In Guan Yu's eyes, he only vaguely saw a few vague figures riding on horseback, probably the generals of Shen Chenjun, at this time he did not choose the soldiers to advance, but watched from afar.

In fact, the reason why he chose to divide his troops was that he thought that Shen Chen was still commanding the battle in the large army in the rear, and this side was just a soldier and horse sent to ask for help, so he thought about dividing some of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, and now chasing after him is just a show.

Later, he planned to pretend to rush and kill a wave, and when Shen Chenjun's arrows came over there and consumed a part of the cavalry, he used the enemy's bow and arrow as an excuse to withdraw his troops and go back, which was regarded as letting these soldiers and horses for help go to Kunyang.

It's just that when he didn't expect it, among the several knights over there, a black-clothed young general suddenly rushed out of his horse and shouted, "Who is coming?" I don't kill the nameless ghost under Shen Chen's knife! ”

Is that Shen Chen?

Guan Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly squinted his eyes slightly to take a closer look, and finally saw a little familiarity.

It is also the passage of time, and the years are like a shuttle. In just six years, Shen Chen has already changed. It turned out to be just a five-foot-six-inch tall child, and after six years, not only has his appearance changed from immature to young, but his height has also grown by nearly two feet.

Many people thought that the ancient people were short in stature, but in fact, the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" recorded that most of the celebrities at that time, except for Cao Cao and Liu Bei, were eight feet tall, that is, more than one meter eighty-four.

For example, Cheng Yu has reached eight feet three inches, which is converted to a tall man of 1.91 meters, and he belongs to the standard fierce general-type strategist.

The average height of 8-year-old boys in later generations in China is about 125-130 cm, and Shen Chen was five feet six inches when he was in Xuzhou, about 128 cm, which is within this range.

Now it has reached 1.72 meters, which is 7 feet 4 inches. THIS IS ACTUALLY MUCH WORSE THAN THE AVERAGE HEIGHT OF 165-169CM FOR 15-YEAR-OLD BOYS IN MY COUNTRY, WHICH DOES NOT MEAN THAT SHEN CHEN HAS EXCEEDED TOO MUCH DEVELOPMENT.

But even so, his appearance from the eight-year-old is already a world apart, it is completely like two people, plus Guan Yu is a little short-sighted, it is normal not to see it.

But at this time, the two armies faced each other, and Guan Yu didn't dare to recognize each other, instinctively wanting to cover his face.

The main thing is that he feels that he has no face to see Shen Chen.

Over the years, Liu Bei has been in Xiaopei, because he is still close, and he often writes letters to Shen Chen, although he has not seen him for six years, Liu Guanzhang and him have long been in contact, and they are closely linked through letters.

Now that time has passed, the life and death of the eldest brother is unknown, the second brother is nowhere to be found, Zilong and Ziyi do not know where they are now, and they are in the enemy's camp, which makes Guan Yu feel ashamed.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Shen Chen shouted: "That red-faced and bearded man over there, are you the enemy general?" Do you dare to come out and fight me? ”

Well?

Guan Yu frowned.

Red-faced and bearded?

My appearance has not changed much, Ah Chen should have recognized me.

So why not recognize each other?

Looking left and right again, Guan Yu suddenly understood that Shen Chen didn't want to expose their relationship, so he shouted: "Who is the rat, dare to be rampant in front of me?" A certain Hedong Guan Yu is also, your head, how is it compared to Yan Liang? ”

"What? You are Guan Yu who killed Yan Liang in Baima last month? ”

Shen Chen pretended to be shocked, and then turned around and ran, directly as if he had abandoned his team and wanted to drill into a small hill behind him.

"Hahahaha."

Guan Yu laughed and said: "It's just a guts rat, when you hear my name, you are so frightened that you leave your soldiers and horses and flee." The soldiers listened to the order, watched them, I went to hunt down the thief leader, and later I will take his head and sacrifice it to Sikong! ”

"Yui!"

The soldiers were shocked.

Cao Cao didn't know that Guan Yu and Shen Chen were connected, so they didn't know even more.

Even in the later generations when information was developed, you didn't know what friends your friends were, let alone in ancient times when information was not developed?

So after the two of them contributed a clumsy and embarrassing performance comparable to the Golden Raspberry Award, the soldiers believed it one by one.

I thought that Shen Chen had heard about Guan Yu's deeds of killing Yan Liang in the army of ten thousand last month, and he was so frightened that he fled in a hurry, but he didn't know that this was Shen Chen's plan to ask Guan Yu to meet behind the hills.

However, the ordinary cavalry didn't know, but the left and right lieutenant generals were secretly sent by Cao Cao to monitor Guan Yu, and when they heard that Guan Yu was going to chase alone, they hurriedly said: "General, I'll go with you." ”

"Whoever commands the soldiers together, just follow a few guards."

Guan Yu grabbed the belly of the red rabbit horse, and the BMW chased in the direction of Shen Chen's departure like red lightning, and said something in his mouth at the same time.

The left and right lieutenants thought about it, so they left the left lieutenant general, and the right lieutenant general shouted and brought a few people to follow.

But if an ordinary war horse is a bicycle, then the Chitu is a Ferrari.

They just started here, and the red rabbit soared more than ten zhang away as soon as he started to accelerate, and then a few gallops and leaps, and in an instant he had already chased into the forest and disappeared.

The deputy general led people over, but he couldn't even eat the ashes, because by the time they entered the mountain forest, Shen Chen and Guan Yu had already disappeared.

"Ah Chen!"

Guan Yu's red rabbit horse was fast, and as soon as Shen Chen ran into the mountains and forests on his front foot, he chased after him.

Shen Chen took him around the mountains for a while, and made sure that the Cao Jun who followed Guan Yu behind him did not chase after him, and found a place with dense vegetation, so he turned his horse's head and turned back and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, Uncle Yun, don't come unharmed." ”

"Ugh."

Guan Yu stopped the red rabbit horse, came to him and sighed, bowed his head and said, "Ah Chen, now I really don't have the face to see you." ”

Originally, everyone resisted Cao together, but he joined the enemy, how could he not make him feel guilty?

Shen Chen smiled and said: "Uncle Yun doesn't need to blame himself, in order to protect the two ladies, Uncle succumbed to the thief, and the matter of righteousness is thin on the sky, this is something that everyone knows, how can I blame Uncle Yun for this?" ”

"Just ......"

Guan Yu said embarrassedly: "My reputation is fine, but it's a pity that I don't know the whereabouts of my eldest brother until now." ”

Shen Chen said: "I do know, I learned that Uncle Huang was attacked by Cao thieves in Xiaopei, and I immediately guessed that he might have gone to Yuan Shaona, so I sent someone to the north, and sure enough, I found out that Uncle Huang was indeed in Hebei." ”

"Big brother is actually in Hebei?"

Guan Yu suddenly showed a happy expression on his face, he had been wanting to know the news of Liu Bei during this time, but every time he asked Cao Cao to help inquire, Cao Cao said that he had sent someone out to find it, and it would take some time.

And he also told Guan Yu that he was still dealing with Yuan Shao, and there were not enough manpower, so it was difficult to find Yunyun for the time being, which made Guan Yu very worried.

Now that he finally got the news of Liu Bei, he was naturally extremely excited.

Shen Chen immediately said, "Uncle Yun knows why Cao Cao didn't take you to Yanjin to deal with Wen Chou after Bai Ma killed Yan Liang?" ”

"Why?"

Guan Yu was puzzled.

Shen Chen said: "Because the imperial uncle is in Yanjin, Cao Cao originally wanted to kill the imperial uncle and Wen Chou together, but fortunately, the imperial uncle did not make the same mistake as Wen Chou at that time, and dismounted to pick up Cao Jun's baggage, so he escaped the catastrophe." ”

"What?"

Guan Yu's eyes flashed with anger: "Cao Cao already knew the whereabouts of my eldest brother, but he didn't tell me? And he also wants to assassinate the eldest brother. ”

In the Battle of the White Horse, Cao Cao had always taken Guan Yu with him, and this killed Yan Liang in seconds. But when it came to the Battle of Yanjin, why did Cao Cao only take Xu Huang and not Guan Yu? It's not that Guan Yu is afraid that he will learn about Liu Bei.

Shen Chen nodded and said, "Exactly, but please also ask Uncle Yun to think about the two ladies and not anger Cao Cao." I have already written a letter to send someone to the north, so that the imperial uncle will come south to Runan in the name of Liu Biao in the south, and when the time comes, when Yuan Shao's army goes south, Uncle Ke will leave Cao Cao with the two wives and come to Runan to join the imperial uncle. ”

"Is that so?"

Guan Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Ah Chen, are you sure that your brother will come to Runan?" ”

Shen Chen said: "Uncle Huang is the one who wants to defeat Cao Cao the most, and Yuan Shao must also want to join forces with Liu Biao to attack him, so as long as Uncle Huang is willing to send Liu Biao, he should agree." ”

"Okay."

Guan Yu nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first, and when the eldest brother arrives in Runan, you will immediately send someone to inform me, and I will follow." ”

Saying that, he planned to leave, thinking of directly leading the troops back to Cao Cao.

Shen Chen said, "No." ”

"Why?"

Guan Yu was puzzled.

Shen Chen said: "If Uncle leads the troops back directly, it will inevitably make Cao Cao suspicious, Cao Cao probably doesn't know our relationship now, and thinks that the Huangmen Pavilion is just a coincidence, but if Uncle Yun Chang sees me and goes back, he will definitely be able to guess that there is an old relationship between us, so it can't be like this." ”

"Hmph."

Guan Yu snorted coldly: "If you guess, you can guess, I'm still afraid that he won't succeed." If you want to kill or scrape, whatever you want. ”

Shen Chen smiled: "I know that Uncle Yun is not afraid of death, but what about the two ladies?" ”

"This ......"

Guan Yu thought about it, if he was killed because he let Shen Chen go and provoked Cao Cao to blame, it didn't matter if he was killed, but the two sisters-in-law and his wife were ......

Shen Chen said: "So we can't expose it yet, we should wait for an opportunity." ”

"When was that?"

Guan Yu was surprised: "Could it be that I will go back later, and I will say that I didn't catch you?" But for what reason did you give up chasing you? ”

Shen Chen said with a smile: "There is no need for Uncle Yun to worry about this, I have already sent scouts to return to Kunyang first, and come with a heavy chariot, when the time comes, we will rely on the chariot and fight and retreat, Uncle Yun only needs to command the cavalry to fight normally, and we will be able to repel the Cao army." ”

"Okay."

Guan Yu thought that originally they only had 1,500 cavalry, and it was enough to deal with 3,000 foot soldiers, but Cao Cao just asked him to delay time and wait for the rear foot soldiers to chase after him.

Now Shen Chen's reinforcements will arrive soon, as long as he doesn't fight, he will always send Cao Jun to die.

At that time, Shen Chen's army defeated those Cao army cavalry, and it was reasonable for him to order a retreat at that time, and Cao Cao couldn't blame him.

Thinking of this, Guan Yu approved of Shen Chen's plan.

At that moment, the two of them were waiting in the mountains and forests, talking about it and delaying time.

Soon after, almost half an hour passed, and Guan Yu went back.

When they came to their own cavalry formation, the right lieutenant general and several knights were actually lost in the forest, but now they have not returned, and the left lieutenant general greeted him and said, "General, how is it?" ”

Guan Yu sighed and said: "Alas, don't mention it, that little thief is cunning, and he got into the forest, but there is no figure, I looked around and almost got lost." ”

The mountains and forests are already dense, and it is noon, and the sun hangs overhead, and there is no way to judge the direction through the sun, so it is very normal to get lost in the jungle.

The left adjutant general said: "The general doesn't need to worry, the forest is dense, and it's normal if you don't catch up." But now that there is no thief leader, why don't I wait for the attack? ”

Guan Yu shook his head and said: "No, before we besieged 3,000 of them, Sikong was still repulsed, and now that we have 1,500 people going up, it will be even more unpleasant, Sikong just let us delay time, don't be greedy and misguided." ”

This is the most correct tactic, even when he goes to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will approve of this tactic.

At the moment, the adjutant general didn't say anything.

Time passed minute by minute, and when it was afternoon, dust and sand suddenly rolled in the distance, and a train of carriages was coming this way, and they had appeared several miles away.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
