After escaping the pursuit of the Eastern Wu army, Mu Yi and Guan Yu reunited.

Although they succeeded in breaking through, their situation was still not optimistic.

To the north was the army of Cao Wei, and to the south was the army of Eastern Wu, and both sides were eyeing Guan Yu's head covetously.

They are still walking a tightrope.

As if things weren't bad enough, Guan Yu collapsed right after he met up with Mu Yi.

"Lord! How is your injury?"

Looking at Guan Yu lying on the stretcher, Mu Yi asked with concern.

He didn't expect Guan Yu to fall down so suddenly, and even he was a little panicked for a moment.

During the breakout, Guan Yu alone took on almost 70% of the offensive of the entire Eastern Wu. Coupled with the frequent outbursts, his body was completely in a state of overdraft.

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury. I don't know if Jiangdong rats have colluded with the mountain spirits and monsters and used evil magic to harm people. I just need to rest for a while!"

Guan Yu was quite weak. Although this was downplayed, in fact, if it were someone else, he would have been dead.

In other words, Guan Yu's willpower was extraordinary. He was able to use his willpower to stabilize his injuries, and then negate these injuries bit by bit with his willpower.

"I'll leave this time up to you!"

Although Guan Yu's breath was weak, his eyes were unexpectedly shining with brilliance, as if they were a divine weapon that was being tempered.

Mu Yi didn't quite understand whether this situation was good or bad, but after hearing Guan Yu's instructions, he nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will do my best!"

Guan Yu closed his eyes and began to rest, his aura constantly changing.

"General Mu, where are we going next?" Zhou Cang asked Mu Yi in a low voice about his next arrangements.

Guan Yu’s fall was a heavy blow to their morale, but fortunately they had seen Mu Yi’s previous contributions.

At this moment, Mu Yi was obviously the life-saving straw for these people who were about to drown.

Mu Yi was silent. To be honest, they had nowhere to go now.

The most ideal situation is of course to return to the west, but they are destined to face attacks from both the north and the south, and a great war is inevitable whether they go east or west.

Liu Bei's army has already marched eastward, so it would be the best option to head west and join Liu Bei and his men.

But Mu Yi thought longer term. To the west, there were large armies of Lu Meng and Lu Xun stationed. If they did not handle the situation properly, they might even face attacks from three sides.

What’s even more terrible is that they don’t have much food now, so they must find a place to rest. Otherwise, if all the soldiers are hungry and exhausted, they will not be able to fight this battle.

It was a fierce battle, and their soldiers, who were already few in number, now totaled less than eight thousand.

The losses on the Eastern Wu side would be greater, but compared to them, the troops lost by the Eastern Wu were not seriously damaged at all, and they could still mobilize an army of 100,000 to hunt them down.

On the contrary, although they managed to break through after a bloody battle, they are now outnumbered and exhausted. If they are pursued again, the consequences will be disastrous.

"In that case, let's play a little trick first, and then strike back at them!"

Mu Yi thought of a certain big boss's extreme micro-manipulation, combined with the actual situation, and finally said viciously.

The other side won't be able to find them, so they will have to conduct a carpet search. In that case, it would be better to let them choose the place and let them command the other side's army.

When Dongwu received the news that several villages and county towns had their food robbed, they quickly drew on the map and quickly found the approximate location of Mu Yi and his team, as well as their marching route.

"Escape to the west, trying to reunite with Liu Xuande?" Zhou Yu keenly felt that something was wrong.

This was indeed a fairly reasonable route of advance, but Zhou Yu just felt that something was wrong.

However, after taking a look at the angry officers and soldiers of the Eastern Wu who were clamoring to hunt Guan Yu down to death, Zhou Yu still did not say it.

One reason was that he could not persuade him, and the other was that Zhou Yu knew that nearly half of the people in Soochow had begun to secretly collude with Cao Cao.

The Eastern Wu encirclement was futile and Sun Quan was killed in battle. His prestige was at an absolute low at this moment.

In addition, there were some dirty tricks between Sun Ce and the Jiangdong family.

The people of Dongwu are now in uncertainty.

No one wants to be on a ship that is doomed to sink.

The aristocratic families have begun to actively contact Cao Cao, trying to sell out the Eastern Wu to protect their own interests.

However, there are too many people willing to sell Dongwu, and the conflicts of interest among them cannot be resolved. It will take a while for these people to fall out.

After all, the lessons of the Battle of Chibi are still fresh in their minds. They are all waiting for the situation to become clear, and now they are just laying the groundwork in advance.

They are just fence-sitters. They will follow whoever is stronger and can protect their interests.

Just when Zhou Yu was still thinking about how to stabilize the situation and let a conflict break out between Cao Wei and Guan Yu so that they could gain as much benefit as possible.

A piece of important news was delivered to Dongwu.

"Guan Yu is seriously injured and still can't even move!"

The people from the villages and the county town saw it with their own eyes, and they even conducted soul searches to confirm the authenticity of the information.

Guan Yu and his men were always benevolent and only robbed supplies and food, and did not massacre villages or cities.

This is why there are so many eyewitnesses.

A chance to kill Guan Yu!

Everyone had this idea.

You must know that killing Guan Yu is still the consensus of all forces except Shu Han.

Not only did the Eastern Wu offer a reward, Cao Cao and Sima Yi also offered the same reward. The aristocratic families in the Eastern Wu wanted to gain more benefits, so killing Guan Yu was definitely a sure-win deal for them.

So now it seems that this group of people are shouting slogans of revenge for Sun Quan loudly, but in fact they all have their own ulterior motives.

Zhou Yu watched the performance of this group of people coldly, allowed them to designate an action plan, and then instigated Sun Ce to send troops.

Sun Ce was eager for revenge, so he naturally agreed. Zhou Yu was helpless, but he did not stop him.

However, this time he did not go with the army, but headed to Ruxukou to take charge.

Although he had reached an alliance with Cao Wei, he was still worried that Cao Wei would take the opportunity to annex Eastern Wu.

Zhou Yu still had the idea of ​​conquering the world in his heart, so no matter what the situation was, he had to first protect the base of Dongwu.

"General Mu, is this really okay for us?" Zhou Cang asked worriedly.

Guan Ping took the initiative to undertake the task of attracting the enemy, and led a thousand men to continue their original route to break out to the west.

Using the secret technique of light and shadow refraction, they projected a thousand people into the size of eight thousand people, and fled towards the west in a grand manner.

They broke up into small groups, launched a surprise attack, and headed back towards Jianye.

The clever time difference allowed Mu Yi and his men to perfectly avoid the Eastern Wu army, and when the Eastern Wu army was rushing westward, they captured Jianye again. When Mu Yi left, he habitually arranged some small tricks, but the Eastern Wu army obviously did not clean up.

Without a wise leader like Guan Yu, it would be difficult for them to uncover the hidden dangers among the people.

Mu Yi used these people to build a simple altar, and then acted as a transformation medium to once again connect with reincarnation, causing the entire Jianye to fall into a deep sleep.

The empty Jianye had no power to resist at all.

When they woke up again, Mu Yi and his men had already defeated the city's defenders and taken over Jianye.

Dong Wu never expected that Mu Yi and his group would make a comeback in this way.

After Cao Cao learned the news, he immediately sent a message to march south from Ruxukou, surround Jianye, and kill Guan Yu.

How could Zhou Yu let Cao Cao get his wish? The two sides had a passionate confrontation at Ruxukou.

The Eastern Wu side had already surrounded Guan Ping, and all they needed to do was to conduct a carpet search to determine Guan Ping's exact location.

Upon receiving the news, Sun Ce immediately led his troops and rushed towards Jianye.

They had moved their entire family away before, but this time, they moved their entire family back.

For Sun Ce, revenge is not as important as the Sun family in Jianye.

Guan Yu's reputation is great, but no one knows how high Mu Yi's moral bottom line is. From the previous dream about the entire Jianye, it is clear that Mu Yi is obviously not a saint who would not harm anyone.

Moreover, Sun Ce's intuition told him that the person Guan Ping was carrying was a fake Guan Yu, and the real Guan Yu must have returned to Jianye.

Compared to the fact that Guan Yu had been carried around by Guan Ping all along, Sun Ce believed that Guan Yu had not been active from the beginning and had been recuperating near Jianye all along.

They had no doubt that Guan Yu was injured. After all, they were the ones who knew best how much damage Guan Yu had suffered.

That's why they felt that Guan Yu's serious injury was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The remaining aristocratic families, young and old, are not in Jianye, so they are naturally not in a hurry at this moment.

He took the initiative to ask Sun Ce to stay and strangle Guan Ping. Although Sun Ce had a feeling that Guan Yu was in Jianye, they had completed the encirclement after all. In case Guan Yu was here, they could not let Guan Yu escape.

So Sun Ce agreed to these people's request and rushed back towards Jianye with his own officers.

Guan Ping was chased and blocked by this group of people and never made it to the point where he could reunite with Liu Bei. After struggling for several days, he was finally killed by the Jiangdong noble family.

However, Guan Ping was smiling until the moment he died in battle. After all, the longer he delayed, the safer Guan Yu would be.

This was indeed the case. It attracted a large number of Eastern Wu troops to pursue them, and the defensive pressure on Mu Yi and his team was very small.

Zhou Yu was confronting Cao Cao at Ruxukou and did not dare to go south. Mu Yi and his men spent a peaceful period of time in Jianye for the first time in their history.

This is another reason why Mu Yi decided to capture Jianye. Guan Yu needs a stable place to recover.

When breaking out, it is too easy to be broken with only one spearhead. If there are two, they can take turns to attract firepower and win the victory, just like before.

While Guan Yu was concentrating on healing his injuries, Mu Yi was also not idle. He recruited able-bodied men from all over Jianye City and then used the Reincarnation Platform to transform them into Six Paths Soldiers.

When the trap was being prepared, some of the wealthy families who were more informed also ran away.

When the war was over, they all returned, and some businessmen planned to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

It was also because of this that Mu Yi had the opportunity to conscript young men. This group of people were recruited by Mu Yi without any hesitation, and then a series of packages of reincarnation and rebirth were arranged for them.

Together with the captured city defenders, they transformed into tens of thousands of Six Paths soldiers on the spot, greatly replenishing the military force.

After replenishing a wave of troops, Mu Yi set up the reincarnation platform as usual. This was the most effective method he had.

Apart from this, he had no other way to improve their combat effectiveness.

Supplies were so scarce. There were only ordinary supplies in Jianye City, which could not be used to refine pills or anything like that.

On the contrary, the Great Dream Sword could be more useful.

Just when Mu Yi was concentrating on refining the Great Dream Sword, Zhou Cang rushed in and shouted at Mu Yi incoherently.

"General Mu! Master Ge is here to see you!"

"Is it finally here?"

Mu Yi let out a breath. He had not contacted Ge Xuan before because he knew that Ge Xuan would not be able to cause any big waves under the previous circumstances.

However, Guan Yu's injuries did not heal, so he thought of Ge Xuan as his helper.

"General Mu, I'm here to fulfill a wish!" Ge Xuan said with a smile to Mu Yi who hurried over.

"Thank you, Master. Please help save the Emperor!" Mu Yi also breathed a sigh of relief. He had seen this person's methods before, so he must have a good way.

"Please rest assured, Lord Mu, just leave it to me!" Ge Xuan was also very confident. He was one of the four great Taoist priests, and refining pills to save lives was his best skill.

However, after Ge Xuan looked at Guan Yu's situation, he fell into silence.

"How?" Mu Yi asked with an ominous premonition.

"I can't solve it. This is not a curse, but a witchcraft. I'm afraid the status is quite high!"

When Ge Xuan said this, he looked at the drowsy Guan Yu and finally sighed.

"I'm afraid it's a nail-headed seven-book arrow, and it's an authentic one!"

Mu Yi was shocked and angry, knowing that Guan Yu was seriously injured and had been ambushed by someone, but he didn't even notice it at all.

"I can follow the curse to find the caster, but..." Ge Xuan hesitated to speak.

"Master, please speak freely!"

"This might be a trap!" Ge Xuan sighed. The greatest effect of this kind of witchcraft should be its secrecy.

As a result, the other party was afraid that they would not be able to find it, so they left all kinds of traces.

The only explanation he could think of was that the other party was fishing with a straight hook.

"I'll go!" Mu Yi also understood what Ge Xuan meant, but he still said it without hesitation.

Guan Yu is the core of his team. He must ensure Guan Yu's safety at all costs, even at the cost of his own life.

He had no choice. If Guan Yu died, everything he had done before would be meaningless.

What's more, he couldn't just watch this nominal master die in front of him.

"I'll go with you!" Ge Xuan volunteered, but Mu Yi shook his head.

"Please stay here for a while, Master Tian, ​​to prevent others from harming the Emperor. Leave this to me!"

Mu Yi didn't waste any time and directly chased after the murderer with the clues. No matter who it was, he had to get rid of it.

From the moment the other party cast the spell, they were already enemies. (End of this chapter)
