Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 146 Guarding Jingzhou

"Huh?" Seeing Guan Yu's majesty, the sergeants under his command who were scolding all chose to shut up by coincidence, and Cao Hong was also seriously upset.But what made him even more upset was still to come. Guan Yu snorted and said, "Little Cao Hong, hurry up and lead me to death!"

"Guan Yu, let everyone die!" Seeing Guan Yu's contemptuous eyes, Cao Hong suddenly felt as if a big rock had been crushed on his body, and he could hardly breathe.In order to get rid of this pressure, Cao Hong gave himself a roar to strengthen his courage, and then stepped forward to face Guan Yu with a sword on his horse.

"Dang!" The first time the two swords met, Cao Hong knew that he might not be able to get any benefits today. Guan Yu's sword was too heavy, and his arms were already numb after the first blow.But now there is no turning back, so Cao Hong can only grit his teeth and hold on, hoping for a turnaround.

Naturally, Guan Yu didn't care about Cao Hong's pettiness, and immediately attacked Cao Hong with one knife after another like a stormy sea.With all his efforts, Cao Hong suddenly felt like he was in a small boat in a huge wave, which might be capsized at any time, and he couldn't find time to call for help.

"Yun Chang show mercy!" Xu Huang, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, saw that Cao Hong was in danger after more than ten rounds, and hurriedly patted his horse to rescue him. How could Li Tong from the Jingzhou Army allow him to bully the less? Gun blocked.Although Xu Huang was worried about Cao Hong's safety, Li Tong in front of him was not an idler, and he would suffer a big loss if he was not careful, so he had to concentrate on fighting first.

"Guan Yu, give me a knife!" Seeing another general from Cao Jun's formation, he rushed forward to Guan Yu and Cao Hong who were fighting fiercely, almost at the moment before the former's green dragon knife was close to touch Cao Hong's neck , The big knife in this man's hand swung out, blocking Guan Yu's inevitable knife.

"Huh!" Cao Hong, who escaped from the dead, was already sweating profusely, and immediately rode his horse and withdrew from the circle.Guan Yu snorted coldly, turned his head to look at the person who came, but his expression was slightly taken aback.

"Who is your Excellency who wants to fight at such a young age?" Guan Yu asked with a frown. The general who rescued Cao Hong had a gray beard and hair, and looked at least 60 years old.

"Old man Cai Yang, I've heard for a long time that Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang are the most famous sword masters in the world. It's a great joy in my life to learn the lesson today!" majesty.

Guan Yu frowned even more when he heard the words, "Guan Yu never beheads the old, young, women and children under the knife. The old general can still go to battle at a very old age. His courage is commendable, but Guan Yu will not kill you." Guan Yu took back the green dragon knife and said proudly .

"Ah!" Cai Yang sighed suddenly, took the big knife with his right hand, and gently brushed the smooth water blade with his left hand, as if sighing with some memories: "I met a famous master when I was young, and taught me the 36-way Changhe knife." Fa, in his life, he rarely met an opponent. He only lost half a move at the hands of Tong Yuan, a generation of gun prodigy. The only lamentable thing is that he has never been able to compete with a master of swords until he was over fifty years old. Today he has to meet General Guan, but I can finally fulfill my life’s wish! Even if I die under the sword of a general, what is there to regret?” At this point, Cai Yang’s eyes suddenly brightened, and his piercing eyes did not look like an old man who was nearly sixty years old.

"As you wish!" Sensing Cai Yang's strong will to fight, Guan Yu knew that any dissuasion would be an insult to him at this time, so he immediately picked up the Qinglong Yanyue Saber and concentrated his energy on preparing for a decisive battle with Cai Yang.

"Qinglong Yanyue Slash!"

"Yellow Spring and Blue Fall Slash!"

Accompanied by two roars, the two figures suddenly mobilized, and then a ball of blue light and a yellow shadow entangled and killed inextricably.At this time, Xu Huang and Li Tong also stopped, and each went back to the formation to watch the peak duel between these two famous sword masters in the world.

On the top of Wancheng City, Zhuge Liang, who has always been calm, was not as comfortable as usual. He stood on the top of the city and watched the duel between the two in the field intently. "General Wen, who do you think can win?" Zhuge Liang only had a rough grasp of martial arts. How can he understand a duel of this level, so he can only ask Wen Pin beside him for advice.

"Difficult!" Wenpin only said one word, and the corner of Zhuge Liang's mouth twitched when he heard that.

"Dang!" There was a loud noise at this moment, and then the two people in the field quickly separated, and just now there was a rush of attack to fight quickly, although it was only a cup of tea, the two had already exchanged more than a hundred moves.Under such a high-intensity attack frequency, Cai Yang was already out of breath, but Guan Yu's original red face became even redder.

"General Guan, I'm going to use a trick!" Cai Yang spat and tried his best to adjust his breath.Guan Yu didn't speak, just nodded, and the Qinglong Saber in his hand was clenched even tighter.

"Whirlwind Seven Slash!" Accompanied by a roar, Cai Yang took out his trick of pressing the bottom of the box. Guan Yu didn't say anything, but just waved his knife to meet him.If the two of them were just like two balls of light and shadow fighting together, now it is like two comets colliding.There was a series of sounds of sword clashes like popping beans, centered on the fierce battle between the two, and within a few feet of the area was even more flying sand and stones, so that the people watching the battle could not see the figures of the two clearly.Xu Huang, Zhuge Liang and other people watching the battle felt that time seemed to pass quickly, and it seemed to pass very slowly.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the two figures in the field suddenly separated.After the dust dissipated, the two of them were already standing on the horse, facing each other with swords.The difference is that a piece of Guan Yu's green shirt was chopped off and fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Li Tong and the others were shocked, and Zhuge Liang dropped the fan even more, but Cao Jun, who was on the opposite side, was not in a hurry to applaud.At this moment, I saw Cai Yang's body shaking, and said with difficulty: "Good knife!" Then he fell off the horse.

"Huh!" Guan Yu sighed, turned around and slowly returned to the formation.Facing Guan Yu with his back turned to him, none of the thousands of Cao troops dared to shoot arrows.After a long while, Xu Huang was the first to come back to his senses, and ordered someone to come forward to collect Cai Yang's body.

"The majestic majesty of a king is rare in the world!" Li Tong and others surrounded Guan Yu and complimented him as soon as he entered the city.Guan Yu forced a smile, but still couldn't hold it back. He stood still with the knife on his back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty!" Li Tong and the others were shocked, and quickly stepped forward to support him.Guan Yu shook his head to indicate that it was all right, everyone helped him into the room and sat down, Guan Yu adjusted his breath, and then said with emotion: "Cai Yang really deserves his reputation, if he is ten years younger, I am afraid that I will be the one who fell today. "

"How is Junhou's injury?" Zhuge Liang asked what everyone was most concerned about.

"It's just a little internal injury from too much force, it's not a serious problem!" Guan Yu sighed, then turned his head and asked Zhuge Liang, "What's going on in Shangyong City?"

"The city wall of Shangyong is very dangerous, and there are more than 1 elite troops stationed by Zang Xuangao. Zhang Lu is a man who pretends to be a ghost. How can he be his opponent. Xuan Gao has sent an army report in the morning, and Zhang Lu's general Yang Bai has been beheaded by Captain Fu Tong. .” Zhuge Liang laughed.Guan Yu nodded when he heard the words, and felt relieved.

Besides, in Cao Jun's formation, because Cai Yang was beheaded, morale plummeted.Xu Huang and Cao Hong knew the art of war well, and they knew that forcing soldiers to attack the city now would only increase casualties in vain.What's more, the city wall of Wancheng is dangerous, and there are 10 defenders. Even if Cao Hong and Xu Huang's [-] people are exhausted, it is still uncertain whether they can be captured.

"The Prime Minister has a letter to send." Just when Cao Hong and Xu Huang were at a loss, Cao Cao's order came suddenly.Along with him came Cheng Yu, an important adviser under Cao Cao's command.

"Mr. Zhongde!" Xu Huang and Cao Hong rushed to greet him. After Cheng Yu and the two saluted, they immediately took out a sealed letter with wax paint and presented it to them.All three knew that this was Cao Cao's most important instruction.

After opening it and flipping through it, the expressions of the three of them were both surprised and happy. "So the Prime Minister actually intends to do this?" Xu Huang sighed in admiration.

"There is no trace of the prime minister's use of troops. Even if Sun Wu is resurrected, it is nothing more than that." Cheng Yu also sighed, and then Cao Hong and Xu Huang passed on orders to act according to the plan.

"What? Cao Jun is digging soil to build a city?" Guan Yu was a little puzzled when he heard that the soldiers came to report.Not only him, Zhuge Liang also frowned, not knowing what Cao Hong and Xu Huang were planning.In this kind of siege warfare in ancient times, the attacker usually set up a camp and attacked slowly.Now that Xu Huang and Cao Hong are actually digging soil to build a city, this reveals a bit of weirdness.

"Your Majesty, Cao Jun is uncharacteristically, there must be a conspiracy, we still need to be careful." Zhuge Liang thought for a long time but didn't think of too many tricks, so he had to play by ear.Not only Zhuge Liang, but also Liu Bei and others who were confronting Cao Cao in Qiaojun did not understand Cao Cao's true intentions in this battle.Even Sima Yi, the creator of the plan to advance all six men and horses together, did not expect Cao Cao's real intentions to be like this.

"Mr. Gongze, Mr. Gonghe, just now came to visit Ma to report. Uncle Liu Huang led his army to confront Cao Jun in Yuzhou, the land of Wancheng. Uncle Liu Huang even sent Mr. Jian Yong to join us and send troops together!" , Yuan Tan said excitedly to Guo Tu and Tian Feng.

"Great opportunity!" Guo Tu also sighed, and then turned to Yuan Tan and said, "My lord, since that's the case, we should send troops to Yanzhou as soon as possible, and attack Cao Cao on both sides to destroy the country's thieves!"

"Wait a minute, my lord. In my opinion, we need to send troops, but the soldiers are not targeting Yanzhou, but Sizhou." Ju Shou stroked his goatee and said slowly.

"Sizhou?" Yuan Tan said in astonishment when he heard the words, "Yanzhou is where Cao Cao's foundation is located. If we can attack it in one fell swoop, it will be twice the result with half the effort?" Yuan Tan said rather puzzled.

"Yanzhou has Xun Yu staying behind, and Xuchang's city wall is too dangerous, so we can't do it in a hurry. Sizhou has only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Cao Hong attacked Wancheng a few days ago and took some away. The defense must be weak." typical.Pointing to the map on the wall, Ju Shou said again: "If you can take advantage of the situation and take Sizhou, then the connection between Cao Cao and Bingzhou will be cut off, and we will recover Bingzhou just around the corner!"

"It makes sense!" Guo Tu thought about Ju Shou's words, and had to admit that his strategy was more clever.Since Yuan Shao's defeat and death, coupled with the recent blows, Guo Tu's previous arrogance has also subsided a lot. "And that day we made an agreement with Uncle Liu Huang to divide Cao Cao's land equally with the Yellow River as the boundary. Even if we took Yanzhou, it would be in vain to make wedding dresses for others." Xin Ping, another counselor, also remonstrated.

"It's reasonable!" Seeing that everyone agrees, Yuan Tan orders Zhang Jai as the general, Guo Tu as the military adviser, and Ju Shou as the staff officer, and 15 soldiers attack Sizhou, leaving the counselor Xin Ping and Ju Shou's son Ju Hu Stay in Yecheng and supervise the grain and grass.At this point, the three major princes fought again.
