    "Sir, General Guan is really humble. I am honored to be accompanied by General Guan and see the power of the Black Wind Cavalry led by General Guan. It is truly a blessing for me. Whether it is the bravery of General Guan or the combat power of the Black Wind Cavalry,  He is so powerful that his battle in the Southwest is enough to make his subordinates never forget it.

    When General Guan first arrived in the southwest, he led the Black Wind Cavalry and used the guerrilla strategy used by the young master when he was in the Hu Kingdom. He first used guerrilla methods to reduce the strength of the traitors, attracting the traitors to pursue him. After the traitors were exhausted from the pursuit, he then launched with the force of a violent storm.  They attacked fiercely and picked up five waves of thieves' villages within a month.

    The thieves in the southwest were so frightened that they became frightened when they heard the name of General Guan, and everyone was in danger.  General Guan picked up five waves of thieves and took in many prisoners. At that time, the remaining thieves were still afraid of General Guan, and they all united to fight against General Guan.

    General Guan ordered me to lead a thousand soldiers and prisoners under my command to first contain the surrounding thieves.  And he led the Black Wind Cavalry far away, and within the second month, he overturned several waves of lone thieves in their strongholds.  At the same time, many prisoners were collected.

    At this time, the name of General Guan has caused the thieves in the southwest to be frightened and restless, fearing that General Guan would lead an army to conquer day and night.  Later, they actually planned to fake a surrender, and wanted to take advantage of General Guan's lax defense and annihilate General Guan's troops in one fell swoop.  Unexpectedly, their little skill had been discovered by General Guan, who took advantage of their plan and arranged for them to go to a valley entrance in the southwest to ambush a heavy army.  The thieves didn't know that General Guan had already fallen into a trap and was waiting for them to be caught, so they came one after another as promised.

    When all the thieves came to the entrance of the valley, General Guan blocked the entrance and exit of the valley with heavy troops, and then caused large avalanches at both ends of the valley entrance, covering most of the thieves with snow, and then shot them with arrows. After thousands of arrows were fired,  Another boulder fell, and finally General Guan and I led the army to fight with the remaining thieves.

    This battle lasted for three days and three nights, turning the entire valley pass into blood.  There are nearly 30,000 dead thieves!  Later, many hunters near the valley road saw that the walls of the valley road were red, the road was paved with red snow, and the blood was deep in the rock crevices. The blood stains could not be removed.  Since then, this road has been called Xueguan by people nearby.

    "General Guan's name is so powerful in the southwest, and he is known as the name of ghost mourning by the people in the southwest.  I heard that the children of the common people in Hedong in the southwest were crying in the middle of the night, so I threatened them that if there was another ghost funeral, they would come.  Those children immediately did not dare to cry anymore.  This shows that General Guan is famous in the southwest.  "

    Zhou Cang was recalling and describing in detail, the admiration on his face almost overflowing.

    "Noisy!"

    However, Guan Yu glanced at Zhou Cang and said calmly.  After hearing this, Zhou Cang quickly stood back to his seat and looked at Guan Yu submissively, fearing to offend Guan Yu.

    At this time, in Zhou Cang's heart, Guan Yu was like a god-like figure. His admiration for Guan Yu, to use a common saying, was like the endless flow of yellow water.

    "Haha, okay, okay! Guan Gui Sang, second brother, you have earned a good name. Ghost Sang, Ghost Sang, even evil spirits will be frightened when they hear it. It's okay to use this name to describe the fierceness of Second Brother.  appropriate."

    "Third brother, this is just a child's play among the people. It cannot be taken seriously."

    "Haha, second brother, the name of the third brother's champion is also a child's play for the people of Bingzhou. Don't you also think that the third brother is not worthy of the name of champion, and the second brother himself is not worthy of the name of ghost mourning?"

    "Ghost mourning, what is it?"  Guan Yu would later be hailed as the Saint of Martial Arts, the Saint of Warriors.

    "Of course not. It's just that the name of the ghost mourning is very ominous."

    "Haha, what's so ominous? I think this title is good. It can also exorcise ghosts and bluff demons. But second brother, you are really powerful. Blood Pass, Blood Pass, the double walls are red, the road is paved with red snow, and the blood is deep in the rock crevices.  The blood stains cannot be removed.

    If there is a chance in the future, the third brother will definitely go to Xueguan to see how spectacular the battlefield is where the second brother except 30,000 thieves.  "

    Wenhan walked to Guan Yu's side, his eyes were indifferent with a strong sense of admiration. Although he knew that Guan Yu's attack would be earth-shattering, Guan Yu was beyond Wenhan's imagination. Just based on the origin of Xueguan, Wenhan let Wenhan listen.  Gotta be excited.  Xu Huang and Gao Shun who were standing next to him couldn't help but take a few breaths of cold air after hearing this, and looked at Guan Yu with eyes full of admiration.

    Guan Yu's arrogance was a little cold. Although he was very satisfied with Wenhan and others' reaction, on the surface he just said that it was not worth talking about, and then he stopped entangled in the matter and changed the subject.  , asked Wenhan about the war in the Northeast.

    With a smile on his face, Wenhan recounted the war in the Northeast while recalling it.  But when everyone heard that Wen Han and the 3,500 soldiers had endured the cold wind for three days and three nights, no one could marvel at Wen Han's tenacity.  After hearing the bloody battle between Wen Han and 30,000 White Dragon Thieves, everyone present held their breath and clenched their fists, as if they were eager to help in the battle.

    ?And in the end, everyone felt a lot when they heard that Hu Cai was betrayed because of his cruelty.  As a general, you should treat your corporals well. Only in this way can the soldiers and horses be united, and only when they are united can they be unstoppable.  Hu Cai just didn't understand this truth and ended up like this.

    Later, Wenhan asked Guan Yu about the results of each battle in the Southwest Campaign. Guan Yu's tactics were slightly different from Wenhan's. Most of the traitors Guan Yu recruited and surrendered were used as cannon fodder to preserve his elite troops.

    At the peak of Guan Yu's military strength, he recruited and surrendered tens of thousands of traitors. In the battle of Xueguan, nearly 8,000 cannon fodder died.  According to Guan Yu's words, the reason why he has such a strategy is of course selfish. The Black Wind Cavalry is the foundation of the Hedong Group, the ace army.

    "The Black Wind Cavalry's riding and shooting skills have matured, and Wen Han and Guan Yu have also decided not to replenish their troops at will, so as not to drag down the Black Wind Cavalry's combat effectiveness.  Accordingly, Black Wind Cavalry cannot tolerate any casualties.

    Of course, the Black Wind Cavalry has superb combat power and long-range shooting capabilities. In addition, Guan Yu pays great attention to training the Black Wind Cavalry's personal self-protection in peacetime, so it is rare for them to be killed in battle.

    Secondly, Guan Yu said that most of the thieves he recruited were intimidated by his force, so their loyalty was difficult to guarantee.  He had no feelings at all for the traitors he had surrendered, and he thought it was natural for him to use them as cannon fodder.  This method is also common in the tactics of famous generals in the past dynasties.

    Therefore, at the end of the Southwest War, Guan Yu's original 2,500 Black Wind Cavalry and Zhou Cang's 1,000 infantry were almost unscathed, while the remaining 2,500 surrendered traitors had gone through several life-and-death battles.  Of course, those who stay are elite soldiers with certain combat capabilities.

    Wenhan neither agreed nor objected to Guan Yu's method, because he understood that Guan Yu was also trying to preserve the strength of his Hedong Group.

    When Gao Shun on the side heard that the Black Wind Cavalry led by Guan Yu had almost no casualties, his face darkened unconsciously. Originally, he thought that his trap camp should be almost the same as the Black Wind Cavalry, but this time his trap camp suffered losses.  Nearly six hundred people attended.  Of course, this has a lot to do with the terrain.  Black Wind Cavalry is best at fighting on flat ground, and on flat ground, they can use guerrilla strategies. Coupled with Guan Yu's method of using cannon fodder, it is natural that Black Wind Cavalry will suffer fewer casualties.

    "However, although there are many factors, people cannot be resurrected after death. Gao Shun's thoughts and feelings on the trapped camp are no less than those of Guan Yu on Heifengqi.  So at this time, in Gao Shun's mind, he had begun to think of a series of plans to train the self-protection ability of the trapped camp.  The combat method of the trapped camp is to advance without retreating and destroy everything until it is broken. This sharp attack method will of course cause huge damage. In view of this, Gao Shun felt that improvements should be made from all aspects.

    Gao Shun was thinking silently, while Wen Han, who was sitting in the seat, had a dark face at this time.  Because just now, he learned from Xu Huang that in March when he and Guan Yu were fighting against the rebels in the northeast and southwest of Hedong, there were many strange phenomena in Xihe.

    First, the Baibo bandits, who had conflicts with Xu Huang who guarded Xihe from time to time, suddenly became quiet in the past three months.  This is really strange. The two armies of Wen Han and Guan Yu were fighting in the northeast and southwest of Hedong. They were fighting so fiercely every day. There was no reason why the thieves couldn't get wind of it.

    "If they get wind of it, they will certainly understand the meaning of death and coldness, once the war in the northeast and southwest ends.  Wenhan would gather an army to attack his Baibo Valley, so it was absolutely impossible for him to have no measures.  But what is puzzling is that in March, the Baibo bandits are eerily quiet.

    Second, in the Xihe area close to Hanoi, a lot of grain, grass, armaments, gold, silk and other materials are being transported to Hanoi. At the same time, there are several surrounding prefectures and counties in the Xihe area, and large and small groups of people are also rushing to Hanoi.  This phenomenon was really confusing, and Xu Huang vaguely felt that there must be some shady conspiracy.

    Wenhan, who had a dark face and a sullen face, knocked on the table habitually. His eyes narrowed for a moment. Some of these strange clues suddenly came to his mind, and his face suddenly twitched unconsciously.

    At the same time, on the other side, in Yangwu County, Hedong, the Wang family residence.

    "What! One hundred thousand more gold!!! This Guo Da is simply a hungry tiger that can't get enough to eat. In the past three months, we, the wealthy families in Hedong, have collectively given hundreds of thousands of gold to their Baibo thieves.  , tens of thousands of troops, and a thousand stones of food and grass. Moreover, our various families also sent many private soldiers to join his command.

    We have already given away so much manpower and materials.  Guo Da is not satisfied yet and wants another hundred thousand silver taels!  he!  he!  he!  It's simply too greedy to swallow an elephant!  "

    The head of the Zhang family in Mi County was roaring like a she-wolf whose cubs had been stolen.  His heart was bleeding right now, and his face was full of pain.

      "Huh, what can we do? Who told us to use his hand to eradicate Wen Bufan. Since we are asking for help from him, he still doesn't want to go out of his way to make the most of his benefits. But this Guo Da is really too greedy.  It¡¯s almost beyond my limit.¡±

    The head of the Gao clan in Juan County snorted coldly, his eyes showing a sinister light. Guo Da's wanton request had already angered him.

    "Don't be angry, gentlemen. Think about it, if Wen Bufan really succeeds in eradicating these thieves and taking the position of Hedong Governor, we will lose far more than what we have paid now.

    It is precisely because of this that Guo Da dares to ask for it from us so boldly.  But fortunately, Yuan Benchu ??still knows how to deal with the world.  He opened the channel for us, but he didn't ask for too many benefits. If possible in the future, it would be okay to let him be the Lord of Hedong.

    "After all, he comes from a wealthy family. The fourth and third prince of the Yuan family in Runan is the leader of our generation. As the lord of Hedong, he will definitely put the interests of our wealthy family first."  It¡¯s not like Wen Bufan who always tries to oppose us.  "

    The head of the Jiang clan in Yanshi had a calm and indifferent face, but there was an unknown look in his eyes, and he could tell at a glance that he was a very powerful person in the city.

    "Yes. That's right. Now that there is chaos in the world, the Han Dynasty is hopeless. The era of princes competing for power in the Central Plains is not far away, and we should also prepare to find a master for Hedong. Yuan Benchu ??is indeed suitable.

    With the power we have accumulated, when the time comes, we will help Yuan Benzhu expand his army. As long as there is food and wealth in this era, we will not be afraid that no one will sacrifice their lives.  When Yuan Benchu ??has enough troops, let him make a good appearance for us. Today, under Guo Da's ill will, we will kill all these greedy Baibo thieves!  "

    The head of the Li clan in Ji County curled his lips coldly, his face full of angrily and murderous intent.
