Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 255 Tiger Brave Sword, the Day of Unifying Jingxiang

After waiting for half an hour, at about the end of Yuzhong, at the beginning of the middle of the day, Xing Daorong came to fight Guan Yu again.

After owning the BMW, Xing Daorong galloped out while shouting.

At this time, he had already understood that Guan Yu's strength seemed unfathomable, so he was a little more cautious. When he got close, he did not make any moves for a long time, but rode his horse to cruise around him.

He saw that Guan Yu was calm and composed, even if Xing Daorong walked around behind him, he just glanced at him, his raised Danfeng eyes were full of disdain.

"Guan Yu, are you underestimating me?"

Xing Daorong was also irritated by his attitude, feeling that Guan Yu underestimated him.

But Guan Yu said with a smile: "The general is so brave, why do you underestimate him?"

"Since that's the case, why do you dare to turn your back on me?"

Xing Daorong asked.

Guan Yu said: "Since the general claims to be the general of Lingling, he must be an upright person, and he will not do that kind of thing that hurts people behind the scenes!"

"That's natural."

Xing Daorong lost himself in the sound of "excellent bravery" and "a man of integrity", and said triumphantly: "I took the initiative before, this time it will be you."

"really?"

Guan Yu asked with a smile: "I can't even dodge this saber Yan Liang."

Xing Daorong said: "That's because his strength is limited. Compared with me, Yan Liang is far behind."

Guan Yu smiled and said nothing, but narrowed his eyes and began to think carefully.

In fact, he was never a reckless warrior who looked down on everything.

Although proud, but not arrogant.

Even before the most downtrodden man in history was defeated in Maicheng, he also captured Xiangfan, and at the same time he still held tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, and he was not afraid of Jiangdong's harassment at all.

It's just that he didn't expect that Jiangling fell so quickly that the soldiers' family members were captured. The soldiers were worried about the safety of their families and dispersed one after another. This ended in a defeat.

Therefore, Guan Yu's arrogance is the kind of arrogance that is born when he fights a prepared battle. He already knows the enemy well and is sure of winning.

To a certain extent, this can also be regarded as the meaning of "despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically".

It's a pity that Guan Yu had pig teammates in the rear in history, and he voted directly.

But now it is not Mi Fang, Shi Ren and others who help him guard Jingnan, but Liu Pan, Huang Zhong and Zhuge Liang.

Shen Chen is also in Jiangxia now, and Liu Bei is coming across the river, so he will not let his rear fall.

But at the moment in Lanxi, Guan Yu's task is to hold back Cai Mao's main force, so that he can neither let him win and go to Linxiang, nor let him withdraw his troops to leave.

Therefore, it is a good choice to play with Xing Daorong without conscience.

It's just that it's really uncomfortable to keep fighting with a little general whose martial arts can only be regarded as second-rate and weak.

If it spreads out in the future, wouldn't it make the heroes of the world look down on me?

So Guan Yu thought about whether to give Xing Daorong a hard time.

But he was afraid that Xing Daorong would be chopped up with a real knife, so Cai Mao withdrew his troops hastily.

Now the Jiangxia navy has to deal with Zhang Yun, not Cai Mao.

The Yangtze River Navy has a very large number of ships, and it would be bad if he ran to the lake.

After hesitating for a moment, Guan Yu said softly, "If that's the case, then I'm here!"

After all, he urged the horse to gallop.

Chitu leaped several feet like lightning, and soon arrived in front of Xing Daorong.

Xing Daorong was shocked so quickly that he almost instinctively raised the ax and blocked it in front of him.

The ax only blocked his chest, Guan Yu could have changed his move temporarily, avoided his ax with one blow, and chopped Xing Daorong from another place.

But he went straight for his axe.

There was a violent metal collision sound of "Ding!", and the Azure Dragon Saber drew a brilliant arc in the air.

Like a blue dragon roaring in the world, the silver blade cut out a gorgeous crescent moon, and struck the pear blossom ax in Xing Daorong's hand, and it was not the blade, but the ax face.

Xing Daorong was quite strong, and he still held the ax with both hands, but this time he could hardly hold the handle of the ax, and almost threw the big ax in his hand flying.

When the two horses passed by each other, it seemed like a lifetime ago, and the arena suddenly fell silent.

Everyone craned their necks to watch the ending.

At this moment, Xing Daorong's face was dripping with sweat. He almost closed his eyes just now. When he came back to his senses, he only felt numbness in his jaw, but no pain in his neck.

When he opened his eyes again, he realized that he had actually blocked Guan Yu's knife, but the surface of the ax was already covered with cracks, obviously it was hit by a big knife.

"My knife was as fast as lightning, even Yan Liang couldn't stop it, but you blocked it."

Guan Yule turned his horse's head, squinted his eyes, and said with a contemptuous smile: "The general is quite capable, but there are still two swords left, let's see if the general can do it."

"Hold on."

No matter how stupid Xing Daorong was, he already knew that Guan Yu was superior in martial arts, so he secretly wiped his sweat, turned around and said to him: "My big ax is not a magical weapon, it has already been damaged. If we continue to fight, It’s not martial arts for you to win.”

"Oh?"

Guan Yu looked at the cracks on his axe, smiled and said, "Since that's the case, you go back and change your weapons to fight again."

"Then thank you General."

Xing Daorong was overjoyed and hurriedly rode his horse back.

In the distance, Cai Haojun saw Guan Yu's front and Xing Daorong's back, so he couldn't actually see the moment when the two fought.

I only saw two people passing by on the wrong horse, Guan Yu and Xing Daorong both turned their horses' heads and seemed to say a few words, and Xing Daorong came back.

Seeing that his general returned to the front line, the soldiers didn't know why, but they were in a hurry and took the initiative to get out of the way. Xing Daorong, like a general returning in triumph, rode his horse to the high platform where Cai Mao was.

"Captain!"

I saw Xing Daorong come to the audience, dismounted and knelt on one knee.

Cai Mao was surprised: "Why is the general back again?"

Xing Daorong always cares about face, but he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he had to fabricate a lie and said: "Taiwei, the last general made the first move twice before, but was stopped by Guan Yu. This time, the last general let Guan Yu make the first move, but he didn't expect He's really pretty good."

"Oh?"

Cai Mao asked in astonishment, "Could it be that the general was defeated?"

"Of course not."

Xing Daorong smugly said: "Although his gestures are like lightning, but the skill of the last general is not slow, I blocked him."

Cai Mao was even more puzzled, and said, "Since this is the case, why did the general come back?"

Xing Daorong said: "Although Guan Yu's knife was blocked by the last general, the ax in the last general's hand is just an ordinary iron axe, which is not comparable to the world-shaking Qinglong Yanyue knife in Guan Yu's hand, so the surface of the ax is cracked."

After finishing speaking, he threw the battle ax in his hand under the high platform, Cai Mao leaned over and took a look, and saw that the pear blossom ax was indeed covered with cracks, if it hit another one or two knives, it might shatter.

"Pity."

Hu Zheng said: "It seems that this battle is not the general's crime. Guan Yu's horse is a BMW, and his sword is a precious sword. The general's horse and ax are not as good as Guan Yu's. It is only natural that he is at a disadvantage."

"Yes."

Xing Daorong complained: "It is not the last general who can't defeat Guan Yu, but this good horse and precious sword are the second life of the general, just like Lu Bu has the red rabbit and Fang Tian's painted halberd, and Zhang Fei has Wu Zou and Zhang Ba Snake Spear. , if there is no good horse, sword and bow, no matter how powerful a general is, he will not be able to exert much of his strength."

"I see."

Cai Mao asked in a deep voice, "Is the general's usual weapon a tomahawk?"

Xing Daorong nodded again and again, "That's natural."

"It's just that this Azure Dragon Saber is the first-class treasured sword in the world, but there is no matching treasured ax in my army."

Cai Mao sighed.

Xing Daorong's brain twitched at this time, and he said, "Although the battle ax is my usual weapon, the precious sword is also fine."

"Let me think about Baodao's words."

Cai Mao pondered.

"If there is no precious ax and sword, I am afraid that the last general will be powerless. I can't let the last general fight Guan Yu empty-handed."

Xing Daorong was secretly happy.

This job is really fatal, at least I can turn it down.

However, Cai Hao said: "Although there is no battle ax like Qinglong Dao, the late emperor once rewarded me with a hundred-refined sword called Tiger Gallbladder. It is said that it was forged by the royal craftsmen in the north. Give it to you, I wish you behead Guan Yu!"

The so-called Bailiandao, also known as Baipidao, is recorded in "Three Kingdoms" and "Baipidao Order" written by Cao Cao himself. It is a first-class magic weapon in the world.

At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, precious knives were abundant. It is said that in addition to the five-handled Baipi knives forged by Cao Cao, there was also the Xinting forged by Zhang Fei when he first worshiped Xintinghou. Hou Dao, and the Lie Quen Dao made by Pu Yuan under Zhuge Liang's order, etc.

Swords, swords, and BMWs are not only loved by generals, but also by local princes and emperors, mainly for the purpose of showing majesty.

Therefore, after Liu Biao proclaimed himself emperor, he ordered the royal craftsmen who fled from the north to Jingzhou to forge six precious blades. One of them, the gallbladder knife, was given to Cai Mao.

Right now, Xing Daorong, the general under his command, can actually fight against Guan Yu, but because the BMW sword is not as good as it can kill the opponent, Cai Mao feels that he can't be stingy, so he decides to give him the treasure.

Hearing this sentence, Xing Daorong was numb at the time, but he boasted all the time. If he said no, Cai Mao would have to kill him.

So for a while, although his guts were about to turn green, Xing Daorong had to pretend to be grateful and said: "How can such a treasured sword as the Taiwei be given to such a reckless warrior like me?"

"Then it will not be given."

Cai Hao was also distressed at this time, and when he heard Xing Daorong's words, he was overjoyed and said, "I will borrow it for you first, and return it after beheading Guan Yu."

"what"

Xing Daorong was dumbfounded, staring at a pair of eyes as big as copper bells, never expecting such an operation?
Not only did he have to go to the battlefield, but he didn't even give him a knife.

"Ok?"

Cai Mao asked, "General, do you have any questions?"

Xing Daorong was miserable, his eyeballs rolled again, and he said in a hurry: "It's just that the army has gone out to battle, it's already past noon, the last general is strong and eats a lot, but now he is hungry."

Hu Zheng looked up at the sky and saw that it was indeed noon, so he said, "Taiwei, it's already noon, and the soldiers are indeed hungry."

"Ah."

Cai Mao nodded, and ordered: "Send the order, take turns to eat dinner."

"only!"

Hu Zheng gave orders to generals at all levels.

Because of the scarcity of supplies, people in the Han Dynasty often ate two meals. The first meal was from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am. This time period was called Shishi, also known as Chaoshi.

The second meal is from [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m. This period is called Asr time, also known as Eno time.

However, soldiers marching and fighting need to replenish their physical strength in time, and eating two meals will definitely lead to lack of strength.So often have to eat three meals, or even four meals.

Generals make tactical arrangements when fighting, and sometimes they have to eat while fighting. Soldiers carry dry food with them, and it is common for soldiers to cook while fighting the enemy.

Cai Hao ordered the soldiers to line up in front in alternate shifts, while the soldiers in the rear were busy cooking.

Especially Xing Daorong.

In order for him to complete the task of beheading Guan Yu and destroying Liu Bei's military camp in Lanxi, good meat and dishes were served one after another.

Xing Daorong originally wanted to delay time, but he was really hungry. Seeing so many delicacies, he immediately opened his stomach to eat. He ate three bowls of rice and a catty of meat with tears in his eyes, and his stomach almost burst.

After that, he slept for an hour on the grounds that he needed to rest for a while, and was urged by Hu Zheng to fight again.

Guan Yu, who was on the field, also returned to the camp.

His task is to delay the time, and now the enemy wants to continue to spend with him, he is naturally 1 willing.

At the beginning of noon in the afternoon, Xing Daorong, who had been dawdling for a long time, finally came out, riding a Yuluo BMW, holding a tiger gall knife in his hand, and peddling outside the camp.

But this time Guan Yu didn't come out, so he sent someone to tell Xing Daorong that Guan Yu was also resting and asked him to wait a while.

Xing Daorong was overjoyed, and hurried back to report to Cai Mao, saying that Guan Yu dared not come to fight.

However, the two generals fought for a long time, and there was no winner for a while. They ate and drank each other, and it was common for them to take a rest, such as Xu Chu fighting Ma Chao naked, Zhang Fei fighting Meng Qi with a lantern and so on.

So Cai Hao didn't doubt it, he just asked Xing Daorong to rest, and when Guan Yu had rested, he went up to fight with him.

And at this moment, someone was rushing to Guan Yu's camp.

"Your Majesty!"

The camp tent was opened, and a scribe came in and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty!"

Guan Yu saw that it was Yin Ji.

When Liu Bei was in Nanyang, some scholars and officials defected, such as Li Yan, Yin Ji, Han Ran and so on.

Among them, Han Ran served as the chief secretary in his army, and Li Yan and Yin Ji followed Liu Bei to Xichuan. Now that Yin Ji came back, it was naturally Liu Bei who had sent a letter.

"Uncle Ji, how are you?"

Guan Yu had already obtained the report from the camp guards, and knew that Yin Ji came in from the west gate of the camp with more than ten guards, so he already had some guesses in his mind.

Sure enough, Yin Ji said: "My lord captured Jiangling the day before yesterday, and yesterday sent General Zhang and his army to go straight to Jingling, and led the army to capture Nan'an. Jiang Xia's navy also entered Baqiu yesterday, and General Liu Pan After attacking Hongkou, the three armies gathered in Zikou today to attack Cai Mao! At this time, the Zikou Cai Mao camp must have been captured by the lord!"

"it is good!"

Guan Yu laughed and said, "I have lived up to my elder brother's life."

Yin Ji hurriedly said: "All this is due to the Lord."

If Cai Mao had returned to the camp yesterday, Cai Mao's main force would have heard the news of Nan'an's fall. They have a lot of ships, and the strength of the navy should not be underestimated.

The most important thing is that fighting on the river is not what Liu Bei and Liu Pan are good at after all, and only Huang Zu can handle it at that time.

Leaving aside the issue of whether Huang Zu could win the battle, even if he could win, Cai Mao would probably be able to rely on the navy to escape at any time. If the Yangtze River Navy was not wiped out by then, it would be a failure for them.

Therefore, it can be said that Guan Yu played a vital role in the two-day delay.

"Report!"

At this moment, soldiers outside the camp came to report: "General, that Xing Daorong is provoking outside the camp again."

"Just in time!"

A killing intent flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, and he stood up suddenly. His two-meter-high body was full of oppression like a giant. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Zhou Cang Pei Yuanshao."

"The end is here."

Two will stand up.

"Order the whole army, prepare to go out of the camp to fight to the death."

"only!"

"Bring me the knife again, and bring me the horse."

Guan Yu's brows were full of murderous intent: "It happened to behead Xing Daorong first, in honor of our army's victory!"

"only!"

All the soldiers agreed with a loud bang.

Liu Bei, Chen Chen, and Liu Pan's three armies gathered together, and they were bound to annihilate Cai Mao in Yiyang.

But now Guan Yujun is the closest.

Then the decisive battle will officially start. As long as the two sides fight together, Huang Zhong in Yiyang City, Liu Bei, Shen Chen, and Liu Pan in the direction of Zikou can quickly join the battle and kill Cai Mao's main force.

As soon as Cai Mao was destroyed, Zhang Yun went north to surround Jingling, and all the troops on Liu Cong's side were wiped out, relying on the [-] defenders in Xiangyang City, and finally surrendered!
The day of Jingzhou's unification is now!
