The sun has moved from the east to the center, which signals the arrival of noon.

The dazzling sunlight was still shining down, and the sand beside the road had shown a timid light, but the already withered treetops, bathed in such sunlight, showed a different kind of vigor.

Outside the city of Anlu, the Wei army's flags were thrown everywhere, trampled on at will, and Jiang Xia soldiers were taking Wei prisoners back and forth, Guan Lin also came down to pace here, Zhuge Ke smiled on the side: "Throw away the armor, in this battle, the Runan army came with 20,000 people, and half of them can escape back, so I am afraid that I will burn high incense." ”

Zhang Xingcai also smiled and said, "In my opinion, when you take advantage of such a big victory, you should go all out... Attack the forbidden military village! ”

Guan Lin shook his head at Zhang Xingcai with a smile, and said with emotion: "Sister Xingcai, don't underestimate this Yu Ban... This battle is just a temptation for him! ”

Zhang Xingcai didn't understand, so he stopped answering.

Guan Lin raised his head, his hand on his eyes, and squinted.

Gradually, the hand slowly revealed a slit, allowing a ray of sunlight to shine through, even so, Guan Lin still hurriedly closed his eyes, this is a rare dazzling sunlight in winter.

- "Sure enough, the climate during the Xiaoice period is completely chaotic... It snows in the summer, and the sun shines brightly in the winter..."

His eyes looked around the battlefield again.

I couldn't help but sigh.

- "That's the effect of a magic attack!"

At this moment, Liao Hua came to report, "Taishou, Dong Chao led the remnants of the army to retreat into the Bishan camp of the Cao army, and Yu Ban had already dug a trench outside the camp and formed a defensive posture, and our army did not pursue!" ”

Guan Lin bowed slightly, "Well done, this time to kill the enemy general, Liao Duwei can be the first credit!" ”

"Don't dare to take credit!" Liao Hua showed a humble side.

But around, because of the great victory, the grievances in the hearts of those Jiangxia soldiers have been released like never before, in addition to counting the battlefield, but from time to time they look in the direction of the enemy's escape, as if... The fighting spirit is still high.

Even after Guan Lin left the city, there were no less than a few deputy generals who reported that the soldiers had asked for battle to attack the enemy's camp!

Noticed this scene...

Guan Lin was a little helpless, and immediately said:

"I see that the fighting spirit of the soldiers is still high... It seems that the protracted war cannot be fought, but in this battle, our army won a big victory, frustrated the enemy's spirit, and the Wei army was newly defeated, so I am afraid that we will not be able to hold out, consume the fighting spirit of our soldiers, and force me to take the initiative to attack..."

Considering Yu Ban's defensive capabilities, a strong attack under the fierce fighting spirit may not be effective.

This is he roasted Guan Lin on the fire.

"Taishou, in my opinion... We can enable..."Zhuge Ke is about to propose, starting with the surrender of Zhu Ling, starting with the enemy's grain and grass.

Guan Lin sighed lightly.

"I'll talk about it later—"

…

…

Jiangxia, Cao Jun's Bishan camp.

After Yu Ban personally laid out a defensive battle to ensure that the enemy army did not pursue, he returned to the Chinese army's big tent.

Dong Chao and the defeated generals have long been on their knees.

Dong Chao shouted: "The end will be ten thousand deaths..."

Yu Ban's face was cold, and he sat on the main seat, "General Dong Chao and General Dong Heng have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they have always been partners, and they have rarely suffered such setbacks in frontal battles in the past, let's talk about it, how could they be so embarrassed?" Even General Dong Heng was beheaded by enemy generals? Is that Liaohua's martial arts strong? ”

It seems that Yu Ban has already obtained some information...

Including Liao Hua, the main general of the enemy army this time, has always been Guan Yu's main commander before, and has never commanded troops, let alone on the battlefield.

It was precisely because of this that Yu Ban couldn't figure out how his two battle-hardened and trustworthy lieutenants could be defeated by a "newborn calf." ”

"It's a bronze mirror—"

Dong Chaoqiang endured the grief of losing his brother. "The armor of the enemy army is equipped with such a bronze mirror, which can give the light of the sun... It is reversed in our faces, so that the brethren cannot open their eyes at all... Therefore, this battle cannot be fought at all..."

- "Bronze Mirror?"

Yu Ban's heart groaned slightly, he already knew the strange armor of the enemy, and he knew that there was an extra bronze mirror on the heart of the armor.

Originally, Yu Ban was also curious, but now...

"Come on, get a bronze mirror!"

He commanded loudly.

Not long after, a quartermaster presented a bronze mirror, held it above his head, held it in his left hand, took it back to his right hand, and looked at it repeatedly... Don't you feel glaring?

"Are you deceiving me without a plan? How dazzling is this bronze mirror? ”

Yu Ban was already a little angry.

Dong Chao hurriedly requested: "Can you let the last general try." ”

Yu Ban directly asked the quartermaster to hand over the bronze mirror to Dong Chao, Dong Chao recalled the situation on the battlefield, and tried repeatedly... Eventually, he realized something and walked quickly to the door with the bronze mirror... He looked up at the sun, found a certain direction, then stood up and shouted into the tent, "General Yu come out and get down!" ”

Yu Ban stepped out of the big tent...

In an instant, a brilliant light flickered into his eyes.

Let him stumble, if it weren't for the guards on his side to support him, he almost fell to the ground... Because of this, Yu Ban completely understood.

- "Is this the light that can't open your eyes?"

- "Such a brilliant light, this battle is lost—it should be!"

"General Yu..."Dong Chao hurriedly put away the bronze mirror and stepped forward to help Yu Ban...

Whew-

A long exhale was heard.

Even if it was just a bright light, Yu Banyou fainted for a while, dazzled for a while, and now felt that his eyes were dark.

After a while, he calmed down and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly report this matter to Shouchun and report it to Prime Minister Cao Cheng... And also... There is also an urgent message to Xiangfan... Don't... Don't let General Xu Gongming follow in his footsteps! ”

…

…

Xiangfan battlefield, south of Hanshui.

The withered yellow leaves undulated like yellow waves, and Guan Yu's Guan Jiajun and Xu Huang with Yongliang soldiers and horses looked at each other from afar on the plain.

The Guan family army is full of infantry, including crossbowmen, archers, and 200 side vans...

Xu Huang's soldiers and horses were infantry and cavalry fighting together.

The dark-skinned and sturdy men in the cool land are daunting.

Accompanied by the horns of both sides, Guan Yu rode on the red rabbit horse, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife to the north, while Xu Huang rode a brown horse, holding a stone axe to the south, and soon, both sides could see each other.

This was supposed to be an afternoon of finches and warblers, and it should have been a peaceful and tranquil scene when the scorching sun sprinkled on the quiet plain.

But now...

The armies of both sides are rapidly approaching!

The masters on both sides, their orders, can decide the life and death of tens of thousands of people here.

At this moment, Xu Huang was looking at Guan Yu intently, Guan Yu's appearance was still the same as the one nine feet long, two feet long, his face was like a heavy jujube, and his lips were like grease.

The river breeze floated his long beard, which fluttered to the side... That unique majesty is fascinating.

Especially the rare Danfeng eyes in the world, the eyebrows of the lying silkworm, the phoenix eyes are powerful, the lying silkworm is like a fog, and the heroic spirit is compelling... made Xu Huang feel like a world away, and he couldn't help but sigh: "After a few years, Yun Chang's awe-inspiring domineering spirit is even better than before!" ”

But I saw Guan Yu signaling to Xu Huang on the horse...

This is a sign of the reunion of old friends.

Immediately afterwards, the ten shouting soldiers of the Guan family army stood on the high platform and shouted in unison: "General Guan asked, farewell to Xuchang, General Gongming is fine!" General Komeito, don't come unharmed! ”

Xu Huang smiled: "Yun Chang still remembers? Haha, tell him, I'm fine! ”

So, ten shouting soldiers also stood on the Wei army's side, standing on the high platform in unison, shouting in unison: "General Xu said, I'm very good!" General Xu said, I'm very good! ”

Guan Yu continued: "I met Gongming when I was young, and I was fortunate to know that although you and I are our own masters, but before the war, I made good wine in Jingzhou, and Gongming dared to taste it?" ”

The shouting soldier shouted Guan Yu's words word for word...

Xu Huang smiled: "Being able to drink and catch up with Yun Chang is a great relief!" ”

Xu Huang's voice came out.

Guan Yu gave Zhou Cang at his side a look, and Zhou Cang hurriedly signaled.

At that time, several armor soldiers marched to the formation of the two armies, spread oilcloth on the ground, put a table, and placed all the wine cups, wine bottles, and wine vessels on them.

There is also a canopy umbrella set up at the top, which is a shade.

He even didn't forget to fix a stake to the side, which was used to tie the horse.

The meaning couldn't be clearer, reunited after a long absence, the old people reminisced, only Guan Yunchang and Xu Gongming, even those who led horses and held knives were not allowed to come forward.

Sure enough, Guan Yu handed the Qinglong knife to Zhou Cang, and he rode a red rabbit horse alone to the side of the oilcloth between the two armies.

Xu Huang also wanted to ride forward, and his lieutenants Xu Shang and Lu Jian spoke in unison.

"General, will there be fraud?"

In other words, will there be a fuss in the wine.

You must know that this Xu Shang and Lu Jian were the deputy generals that Cao Cao later assigned to Xu Huang... It is far from the group of people who followed him from Yang Feng to Cao Cao back then.

Xu Huang didn't have a good face towards them, and waved his hand.

"This is Guan Yunchang! How could he have done such a deceitful trick? ”

Xu Shang persuaded again: "General, in the past... Prime Minister Cao Cheng and Yuan Shao fought against Guandu, and also invited Yuan Shao to drink between the two armies, and there was a lot of flattery during the banquet, and finally waited until the sun rose and the sun was bright... The two armies charged, and the Yuan army faced the scorching sun, and the view was blocked, so they were defeated... Now..."

Without waiting for Xu Shang to finish speaking, Xu Huang glared at him coldly: "You don't want to say more, don't I know about this!" ”

"But it's noon, our army is in the west, and the enemy army is in the east, if you delay time, then the sun will set in the west, and it will also be the eyes of the Xiguan army? Why be afraid? ”

After speaking, Xu Huang also threw the big axe to the guards and rode forward...

In a short time, both of them had already walked under the canopy.

On Guan Yu's side, Zhou Cang, Guan Yinping, Guan Xing, Guan Suo, Wang Fu, and Zhao Lei were all nervous.

On Xu Huang's side, his son Xu Gai, Zhao Yan, who joined the army, as well as Xu Shang and Lu Jian, also looked solemn... Especially Zhao Yan, he didn't dare to persuade Guan Yu because it was indeed an old man who met...

But faintly, there is always an ominous premonition.

But what is it? Zhao Yan couldn't say it again.

Under the canopy, Xu Huang picked up the lacquer horn cup, only to see a "jujube" word rippling at the bottom of the cup, he smiled: "What a 'jujube' word, carved on a special trip, Yun Chang has a heart!" ”

Guan Yu said with a smile: "I have followed my eldest brother for twenty years, and I have forgotten many things in the past, but every time I look in the mirror and see my cheeks the color of red dates, I always think of dates and Gongming..."

Guan Yu spoke, as if he was fascinated...

And his words also made Xu Huang's thoughts return to the former Hedong County in an instant...

returned to his childhood hometown, and returned to the jujube forest where he and Guan Yu met!

It turned out that before Guan Yu was a "caretaker", he also sold 'red dates'.

——Selling dates must be "beating dates!" ”

And the story of jujube beating starts with Guan Yu when he was a child.

Guan Yu is a good person in Hedong, not from a famous family.

But it's like every parent has the idea of hoping for their son to become a Chan.

When Guan Yu was young, his parents saved money for him to go to a private school to study, hoping that Guan Yu would learn some poetry and books...

But Guan Yu's grades are a mess, among the many books, he is only interested in "Spring and Autumn Left Biography", he takes "Spring and Autumn Left Biography" with him wherever he goes, reads it all the time, and even fantasizes about becoming a hero in "Spring and Autumn Left Biography" who is strong in martial arts, hoes strong and helps the weak, Kuang Fu Sheji, and righteous Bo Yuntian!

So...

His studies were wasted, and he focused more on martial arts training.

However, Guan Yu's talent for practicing martial arts is not bad, and by chance, he was taught by the sword god "Tang Chop", and he was fortunate to learn a one-and-a-half-style knife technique.

The death of his parents made Guan Yu's not wealthy family even worse.

In order to survive, he can only make a living by selling red dates.

Precisely, to sell dates, you must "beat dates".

Those who have lived in the northern countryside know that a long pole is used to beat dates in the north.

Jujube is a bit similar to "chopping", but the jujube tree has a lot of elasticity, every time it is chopped up, the rebound of the jujube tree will feed back the heavier force...

Coming and going, spring and autumn, Guan Yu frantically beat dates every day, and in the past few years, he has successfully practiced his strength, and even his knife skills are much more proficient.

Even, he integrated this strength with the knife technique, and created his own "Spring and Autumn Thirty-six Roads" knife technique, and focused on practicing the first three knives.

It is not an exaggeration to say that in terms of the explosive power of the first three knives alone, even if Lu Bu touches it, he has to tremble.

And his acquaintance with Xu Huang was precisely because of a jujube beating, Xu Huang saw that Guan Yu had a lot of strength, and there were rules and methods for jujubes, and he himself was also martial, so he was itchy and unbearable, and the two fought.

After a full hundred rounds, Guan Yu was slightly better than half a move in the end.

Not wanting to fight, Xu Huang accidentally broke a few jujube trees.

Now, the master's family is gone, and he has to compensate... Xu Huang wanted to tell the truth, but who would have thought... Guan Yu only said that he accidentally broke it when he was beating jujubes, and he could stay for work compensation.

For this matter, Guan Yu worked for the master's family for a month, and Xu Huang accompanied him for a month.

During this month, the two worked together during the day and tried their martial arts at night.

This makes the martial arts of the two of them improve by leaps and bounds.

It is precisely because of this incident that the relationship between the two quickly warmed up.

In addition, Guan Yu and Xu Huang have similar backgrounds, and they are both strong in martial arts, they appreciate each other, learn from each other, and gradually become friends who are inseparable from each other.

Then came the chaos in the world...

Between this pair of friends... It was a very different event!

Speaking of which, when Guan Yu descended to Cao for a short time, Xu Huang also took care of him.

It's just that, in private, friends are friends;

Once it is put on justice, Xu Huang's eyes do not tolerate sand.

At this moment, when friends meet, they are talking about the old days, and they have endless words.

The two talked from Hedong County to Xudu, to Guandu, and to Yan Liangshi.

Xu Huang said with a smile. "I fought against that Yan Liang, and I was defeated in twenty rounds, I never thought that he was slashed by you, and you didn't want to think about it at that time, didn't I Xu Huang lose face?"

"It's the red rabbit horse fast, or..."Guan Yu thought of his son Guan Lin's words.

Thinking of it, he said that the eldest brother had instructed Yan Liang to keep an eye on the long-bearded generals on the battlefield... Therefore, he hit by mistake and took advantage of his unpreparedness to cut it with a knife.

Of course, Yan Liang is already dead in this matter, whether it is true or not, he Guan Yu doesn't know, it doesn't matter what he says.

"Maybe it's really a coincidence!" Guan Yu groaned.

This sentence surprised Xu Huang a little, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but Yun Chang has changed!" ”

"Has it changed?"

"If it was once, how could Yun Chang say that it was a red rabbit horse? How can it be said to be a coincidence? Xu Huang lifted the lacquer horn cup again, with a shocked look: "Yun Chang should say that I, Xu Gongming, am not good at learning... It's all these years that I've put down! This is who you used to be, and this is your character! ”

With Xu Huang's words, Guan Yu was stunned for a while.

Yes, he wondered, how could he say something like "Red Rabbit Horse is fast" and say something like "It's a coincidence"?

Don't... Is it a cloud flag?

Is it that after repeatedly falling into disadvantage under the tension with him, has his Guan Yu's temperament really changed subtly? No longer so arrogant, but know how to be humble and low-key...

- "No, it must not be!"

Immediately, Guan Yu shook his head heavily.

"Don't say it, this Jingzhou wine has a smell of jujubes, and it is actually delicious." Xu Huang drank another bottle, but his tone was a little stunned, "I wish I could have been drinking like this with Yun Chang!" ”

The two chatted and chatted, and half an hour passed...

Guan Yu couldn't help but raise his head to look at the sky and look at the sun.

It's just that Guan Yu is not good at hiding, and such actions were still noticed by Xu Huang.

Suddenly, Xu Huang became vigilant.

"Yun Chang? Are you waiting for the sun? Waiting for the sun? ”

"Sort of!" Guan Yu will not tell lies, and once he is recognized, he will simply be honest.

"This, that's not right..."Xu Huang squinted, "The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the longer it goes, it should be your Guan Jiajun's eyes." ”

Guan Yu finally drank a bottle of wine, and he slowly got up. "That being said, but all these years, no... It was in the past few months that Guan learned a sentence. ”

"What?"

"There are always surprises!"

With Guan Yu's words, Xu Huang also got up. "Unexpectedly, the sun rises in the west? Landing in the east? ”

But seeing that Guan Yu didn't answer anymore, he just went to untie Xu Huang's horse rope and led the horse to Xu Huang, "Gongming, Guan asked you to go back and prepare first, prepare, this battle... I will capture you alive, this wine is still unfinished, to Gangneung City, let's drink it again! ”

"You..."Xu Huang didn't know why..."Yun Chang? Are you bluffing me? ”

"The last time we fought was in the jujube forest, and it took a hundred moves to win you!" Guan Yu untied the reins of the red rabbit horse and said with emotion: "This time, I don't think I need so many tricks..."

While talking, the two of them have already stepped on...

Guan Yu finally smiled at Xu Huang, "Gongming must go all out, Guan has been waiting for a long time for this day——"

As he spoke, Guan Yu had already reined in his horse.

At this moment, the military formation of the Guan family army has been opened, and in front of it is a row of side vans, and behind the side cars are crossbows...

Xu Huang also drove the brown horse back into the military formation.

Because of Guan Yu's words, he was somewhat uneasy, but he noticed the changes in the Guan family's military formation.

- "Are you going to rely on the van and the repeater?"

- "Yun Chang, are you underestimating me? I, Xu Huang, am not the reckless Cao Zihe!'

With this in mind...

Xu Huang commanded Ruoding: "The whole army listened to my orders, the cavalry avoided the side van, found a gap on both flanks to attack, and the infantry slowly advanced... The range of the crossbow is only a few dozen steps, and you only need to cover our crossbowmen to within 200 steps, and ten thousand arrows will be fired in unison, and the enemy's vehicle formation will be broken! ”

"All legions, according to the tactics of breaking the deviation of the van formation that were practiced before, attack-"

It seems that Xu Huang is also prepared!

Time...

The sound of horses' hooves "knocking" rang out loudly and deafeningly...

Although it is a Yongliang soldier, it can be under the command of Xu Huang.

The well-trained and orderly regiments launched the first and most ferocious round of attacks against the Guanjia army!
