General Guan? It shouldn't be.

He shouldn't be here now, with General Guan's bravery, why didn't he take the lead in the charge?

It doesn't make sense.

Xu Huang returned to the camp with suspicions, not to mention capturing one or two prisoners of war and offering them to Cao Cao, but he had lost a lot of people just now.

Counting the number of people, it was found that the two battalions were less than 400 people, and Xiahou Yuan's losses were slightly more, including soldiers who fled timidly.

At night, Xiahou Yuan didn't say a word with a dark face, he was afraid of being robbed of the camp and ordered the whole army to sleep in clothes, and he himself was half-asleep and half-awake to survive the night.

Until the early morning of the next day, dozens of missing soldiers returned, and the two battalions finally lost 380 people.

Three hundred and eighty men was not much, but for a total of 2,000 men, it was a very poor battle loss.

The number of reinforcements last night was unknown, and Xu Huang saw that the soldiers were depressed in the morning, and thought that it was risky to continue to stay in Xi'e, so he found Xiahou Yuan and asked for instructions to withdraw the army.

"General, reinforcements came from Xi'e last night, and it is not good for the army to stay here for a long time, why don't you withdraw to Bowang as soon as possible?"

"I want to do that too, but"

Xiahou Yuan originally stroked his beard and nodded, but suddenly changed his tone and said solemnly: "Let's just go back like this, I'm afraid it's not good to stay with the main bus, and we have to figure out who the opponent was last night."

"It's okay"

Xu Huang originally hesitated, but seeing Xiahou Yuan's resolute face, he had to obey the other party's arrangement, and then set off for Xi'e City with the whole army.

Xiahou Yuan is not a reckless general, he knows that Liu Bei is in Jingzhou and there is a shortage of war horses, even if there were mysterious reinforcements in Western Hubei last night, but without a large number of war horses and cavalry auxiliary, he could not prevent himself from leading his troops to withdraw.

As we approached the city, the sun had just risen over the horizon.

The golden light shone on the armor of the Cao army, decorating the two battalions of Cao Jun into golden warriors.

In response to them, there was the tranquility of the city walls.

Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang looked at each other, and said in their hearts, what is the situation with Mi Fang?

Yesterday he waited in the city early, and today he doesn't care? Such contempt for us, etc.?

Just as he was about to call the door, a place in the city suddenly shone with a golden light.

Xiahou Yuan shook his eyes and found that it was a vertical big knife, which was held in his arms by a strong man and walked forward, and there was a man with a similar figure next to him.

"It's them!"

"Huh? Generals know? ”

Hearing Xiahou Yuan's exclamation, Xu Huang couldn't help but turn around and ask.

"Komeito forgot what happened last night? So they led the night attack on the two foot soldiers. ”

"Is it them? The last general will go up and ask. ”

Xu Huangyan rode forward, carefully observed the two men on the edge of the city, and did not have much impression in his mind, so he raised his head and shouted: "Who is standing in the city?" Where is Mi Fang, the general of the West E? ”

The shouting broke the silence of the early morning, but the two people in the city were motionless like pines and cypresses, and they didn't even look at Xu Huang under the city.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, the anger in his chest rushed straight to the top of his head, and the tone of his shouting again was obviously angry.

"Are you deaf?"

"It's autumn, and the fire of Gongming is really big enough"

With a familiar and deep voice, a familiar green shadow appeared at the head of the city, and I saw him holding his long hair with a smile on his face, looking so calm and calm.

Seeing this, Xu Huang hurriedly cleaned up his mind, and now confirmed last night's conjecture, his hanging heart was like a boulder falling to the ground, and he clasped his fists and saluted: "General Guan, don't come to harm?" ”

Guan Yu returned the salute: "Thanks to the concern, Guan is very good, and Gongming seems to be"

Xu Huang looked bitter after hearing this, and said in his heart that he was worried about you robbing the camp last night, and the soldiers didn't rest well, and his face inevitably showed some fatigue.

was about to respond with a speech, and Xiahou Yuan also followed.

Xiahou Yuan pointed at Guan Yu and asked with a look of surprise, "Guan Yu?" You. Why are you here? ”

Guan Yu stood condescending at the head of the city, just reflected by the rising sun like a god.

I saw him open his phoenix eyes and said slowly: "Guan is the governor of the northern part of Nanyang, what is my problem in my own jurisdiction?" ”

"This"

Xiahou Yuan was speechless for a while, Xu Huang rolled his eyes, and clenched his fists to continue what he had just said.

"I didn't know it was General Guan yesterday, I was a little tired after thinking about it all night, you are very good at night fighting, why didn't you see it in Baima before"

"Them?"

Guan Yu pointed to the left and right, then raised his head and stroked his beard and said: "This is Guan's newly acquired groom and entourage, it is not surprising that Gongming has not seen it." ”

Xu Huang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that you were a little too arrogant, and it was difficult for you to pick it up.

In fact, Guan Yu was not wrong, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were really his grooms and entourage.

When these two people were yellow turban thieves, they often robbed merchants and passers-by at night, and practiced the ability to distinguish directions in low light, so they became pioneers last night, and they accidentally killed Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang couldn't resist it.

Xu Huang was thinking about how to deal with it, and Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but be 'insulted' by Guan Yu, so he pointed at the city with a whip and shouted: "Guan Yu, you are not arrogant, do you have the courage to go out of the city to fight?" ”

"Hahaha"

Guan Yu first shook his head and laughed, and then said seriously: "It seems that last night's memory is not long enough?" If it weren't for the fact that you and Guan had some origins, how could you show off your might here? If I change to another general, my Qinglong Sword will already drink blood! ”

"You!"

Xiahou Yuan heard that the other party was insinuating his daughter, and he was angry and ready to take the carved bow from his waist.

Seeing this, Xu Huang hurriedly stopped him and reminded in a low voice: "General Xiahou, resist your impulsiveness, and find out why Guan Yu is here, the key is to find out." ”

"Yes, yes, I almost made a mistake." Xiahou Yuan replied softly.

Guan Yu ignored the whispers under the city, he pointed to the Qinglong Knife in Zhou Cang's arms, and said meaningfully: "Guan's patience is limited, Xi'e is not where you came, if you don't leave as soon as possible, you will leave your life behind." ”

"The general is really imposing, since the Marquis does not welcome us, Huang and General Xiahou should leave by themselves, but I heard that you went with Liu Zhijun to defend against Zhang Lu, why did you suddenly come back?"

The white horse's good skills were shocking, and Xu Huang still remembered it vividly, so he put his posture very low.

Xu Huang's humility was very appetizing to Guan Yu, and then stroked his long hair and replied indifferently: "Zhang Lu has been defeated by me, and he naturally wants to rush home if he has nothing to do in the west, but he doesn't want a 'guest' to come to the house." ”

"Zhang Lu is defeated?"

Xu Huang swallowed his saliva and looked at Xiahou Yuan in shock.

At the beginning, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other strategists agreed that the terrain in the upper reaches of the Han River was dangerous, and as long as Zhang Lu was held at the dangerous pass, Liu Biao's troops in Jingzhou might not be able to succeed.

Didn't Jiang Gan go to Hanzhong to remind him? But Guan Yu actually said that he defeated Zhang Lu, is it a trick or is it true?

Xiahou Yuan glanced at Guan Yu and guessed that Xu Shu's successive seizure of Bowang and blocking Yang would anger the lord, so Liu Bei deliberately let Guan Yu come back to take charge.

It must be so.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan was confident again, he straightened his body and sneered at Guan Yu: "You defeated Zhang Lu?" I can't fool others, it's impossible, absolutely impossible. ”

Guan Yu shook his head: "Guan Mou Qinglong knife is in his hand, can he use it to deceive people?" Wait, you will hear from you soon. ”
