Chapter 491: Prestige
Guan Yu appeared, and there was a commotion on the city, and some defenders were so shocked that the bows and arrows in their hands fell from the city.
Full of flattery, although he suspected that there was something wrong with the team that came, he never expected it to be Guan Yu.
Guan Yu's deterrence in Cao's army is self-evident, and Cao Cao often reciting Yun Chang, which makes the army's deeds of that year endless.
This has also become a glorious thing for those who have experienced it firsthand, and it is enough to have the honor to witness such a wonderful battle in life!
When you meet someone, you have to show off, how Guan Yu took Yan Liang's head among the ten thousand troops, how to hunt down and kill Wen Chou, if he doesn't say it well enough, he is often scoffed at, and even suspected that he is bragging.
So everyone vied with each other to boast, and it was widely spread in the teahouse wine shop, and what was seen intensified, and what was not seen was conjecture out of thin air, and the more it spread, the more magical it became, Guan Yu seemed to have become a martial arts star and descended to earth, and the martial saint was reincarnated, and he could not be compared to the enemy.
Some people are outstanding and can make people immersive, and after gradually becoming famous, they simply make a career out of it, and every time they go to the teahouse to tell the story, they have to charge some reward, and many people rush to follow suit, and it has gradually become a scale.
Most of the defenders in the city were new soldiers, but they had never met before, and at this time, the true god was in front of them, and there was not much fear in addition to being nervous, but there was a faint expectation.
As the commander of Xuchang County, he is familiar with the people's hearts, and when he saw that the eyes of the soldiers on the left and right were wrong, his heart suddenly sank, and he shouted: "Guan Yunchang, let you have the courage of ten thousand people, just three thousand troops, how can you withstand me?" ”
Guan Yu snorted slightly, and said slowly: "Zhang Liao has been taken down, Guandu has been lost, and Xuchang is already a lonely city, so why resist stubbornly?" ”
Full of joy was secretly frightened in his heart, Zhang Liao's delay had not arrived, but Guan Yu was one step ahead, and it was difficult to distinguish between the virtual and the real for a while, and he forced himself to calm down: "Guan Yunchang, although you are brave, but General Zhang Liao is also a tiger general in the world, how can you be easily defeated?" This kind of carving insect skills, can it move the heart of our army? ”
"Man Boning, you are also Hanchen, it's not too late to get lost and return." Guan Yu burst into tears, raised his knife and pointed at the head of the city, and said slowly: "If you are willing to be Cao Wei's minions, this Qinglong treasure knife vows to kill all the ministers and thieves in the world!" ”
"Hahaha, such a clumsy plan, it's only suitable to deceive a three-year-old child!" Man Zhong looked up to the sky and laughed, and instructed the left and right: "Hugh listens to Guan Yu's nonsense and shoots arrows indiscriminately." ”
"Who dares to shoot an arrow?" Guan Yu lightly lifted the silk reins, and even galloped to the head of the suspension bridge, raising his knife and shouting.
The northwest wind is howling, the long hair is fluttering in the wind, the robe is flying, and under the firelight, Guan Yu's majestic figure is cast on the city wall, looking more and more tall and powerful, and the murderous aura is compelling.
The defenders of the city were forced by their momentum, and they unconsciously retreated, as if the void could cut off their heads with a single sword.
"Shoot the arrows!" Full of anger, snatched the bow and arrow of the soldier next to him, aimed at Guan Yu and shot it, and shouted: "Violators will be killed!" ”
Seeing that Wei Jun was frightened, Guan Yu was looking up to the sky and laughing, and he couldn't see it really in the night, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his forearm, Fang Zhi was shot by an arrow, and said angrily: "Man Boning, I swear to kill you!" ”
Dialing the horse and retreating to the front of the battle, Guan Ping hurriedly raised the torch to see, but fortunately Manzhong was only a scribe, and his arm strength was insufficient, so he only injured some fur.
Zhou Cang was furious and was about to lead his troops to the city, but he was stopped by Guan Yu, who led the troops to deter the defenders under the city, and frequently stared at the sky over Xuchang and waited for news.
At the fifth watch, the northwest wind became tighter, the night sky was dark, and suddenly three apricot yellow lanterns lit up in the north of the city, slowly rising with the night wind.
"Father, look-" Guan Ping pointed to the sky and shouted, "Kong Ming lantern!" ”
Guan Yu nodded and said, "The three lights are the West Gate, go quickly." ”
Guan Ping immediately led a thousand elite soldiers, extinguished the fire torch from the rear, and went to the west gate by night, while Guan Yu stepped forward with a knife, angry and angry, and called Man Pet to go down to the city to die.
At this time, the defenders' attention was all on Guan Yu, and they were full of surprise, guessing the situation of Zhang Liao's people, and no one saw the lights flying overhead.
At the time of the confrontation, suddenly the west gate shouted killing, the fire was bright, the defenders hurriedly came to report, someone opened the west gate, and the Jingzhou soldiers had entered the outer city.
"The anti-thief will leave, and the one who surrenders will not be killed!" Guan Yu stroked his beard and laughed, turned his horse and went straight to the west gate.
The soldiers in the city were in an uproar, some people fled to the east gate, and some people actually dropped their weapons and took the initiative to run to the west gate, wanting to witness Guan Yu's bravery.
"Zuo Shenxian Cheng doesn't deceive me!"
Seeing that the general trend had gone, the elite soldiers in the city had already been transferred away by Zhang Liao, and no one could stop Guan Yu, so he had to flee from the east gate with the messengers.
Guan Yu drove straight from the west gate, only to see that on both sides of the street, on the city wall, kneeling full of Wei troops, all of them surrendered, and some people even shouted: "The prince is mighty!" ”
Guan Yu sat upright on the horse, stroked his beard and looked around, as far as his eyes could see, Wei Jun all bowed his head, where did he know those rumors of Xuchang, and thought that Cao Cao's usurpation was unpopular, and sighed: "If Cao Mengde is not called the king, why is the heart of Xuchang like this?" ”
He ordered Wu Ju and Hu Ban to take over the city gate, sent someone to report to Huo Jun, and led the troops to support, only taking Zhou Cang's personal guards to the palace.
I saw a person wearing a green shirt at the door, bowing down to greet him, it was Liu Ye, who opened the west gate and broke the city, and it was all up to him to do the internal response.
Guan Yu stepped forward immediately, hugged his fists and said: "The merit of breaking the city should be Mr. first." ”
Liu Ye said angrily: "In the past, when I met the princely brothers, I was ashamed of myself, and I got a secret letter from General Liu, I am a relative of the Han family, and I don't do my best?" ”
Guan Yu nodded slightly, he knew that Liu Ye was witty and good at protecting himself, which was just a matter of taking advantage of the situation for him, and asked, "Where is Zhang Wei?" ”
Liu Ye sighed: "Zhang Wei was tortured by full favor, and he always refused to tell the truth, which is admirable. ”
Guan Yu was shocked, hurriedly entered the mansion, and saw Zhang Wei lying on the seat, covered in blood, dying, he couldn't help but look solemn, and hugged his fists and gave a deep salute: "Gongzhen is a righteous man, let you suffer!" ”
Zhang Wei was bowed by Guan Yu, excited, and struggled to say: "A certain emperor and a son of the Han Dynasty, how can you be afraid of the chaotic ministers and thieves?" ”
Liu Ye's eyes fluctuated, and he also saluted: "The people are like this, how can I be embarrassed and ashamed of me!" ”
Guan Ping in front of him entered the city, the Wei army fled in all directions, no one resisted, and he already knew the terrain of Xuchang, so he simply led the troops straight to the inner city.
The inner city of Xuchang is the inner courtyard of the palace, although it is distributed to the children of the clan, but the clansmen have already migrated, leaving only the family to guard the courtyard, and most of them are empty.
When I came to Xiahou Nan's house, the front yard was surrendered, but the backyard was stopped by a group of maids, and the soldiers knew that it was the princess of Qinghe, so they didn't dare to break in, and reported to Guan Ping.
Guan Ping personally went to the backyard and instructed: "Xuchang has broken the city, the officials and soldiers have surrendered, please go out of the lady, and you will be unified to the Tingwei Mansion for settlement." ”
The maid went to tell the news, and after a while, she said: "Madame knows that the general is coming, and said that she has had several connections in Xuchang before, so please let the general in to reminisce about the past." ”
Guan Ping frowned slightly, followed after a little hesitation, and hugged his fists under the porch and said, "Please Madame go out." ”
As soon as the day dawned, the room was lit by dark red candlelight, and the lazy voice of the lady came out: "The little general is coming in!" ”
