"Brother?!" A general covered in blood walked out from the bushes.
"Who are you?" Pang Shiyuan was still on guard, because Liu Bei and the others only had two people left, and they were very tired. If a small group of enemies came, it would really be doomed.
"Second brother, second brother!" Liu Bei's face was filled with joy, and he was crying with joy.
"Second brother, it's true!" Liu Bei said, rushing up and hugging Guan Yu, "Second brother, you are worrying me to death!"
"Brother!" Guan Yu was very moved. He originally had complaints about Liu Bei abandoning Liao Hua, but now they have disappeared.
"Haha, it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!" Liu Bei was really moved. If nothing else, he, Liu Bei, had insufficient foundation, and now he has lost so many soldiers and horses outside Fancheng. Liao Huajian, Yong Guanping and others all No more.
Sun Qiandefu also betrayed. If Guan Yu is gone again, then Liu Bei will really cry to death.
Now that Guan Yu is here, he will be more confident when he returns to Xiangyang.
"Brother, why are you and the military advisor alone? Where is General Liao Hua?!" Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei and Pang Shiyuan in confusion. You must know that when they left, there was Liao Hua with a hundred personal guards guarding Liu Bei.
"Hey!" Liu Bei sighed over there.
"Could it be?!" Guan Yu thought Liu Bei had abandoned Liao Hua again.
"General Liao Hua died in battle! On the Yangtze River!" Pang Shiyuan said, and Liu Bei also told Guan Yu on the other side what happened on the Yangtze River.
"Dofu also rebelled?! Impossible!" Guan Yu's first reaction was that he didn't believe it. You must know that he and Dofu have been together for a long time, and Dofu is very loyal to Liu Bei. If Dofu wants to change his position again, A master can just leave. With his Dove ability, he will be reused by all the princes wherever he goes.
"Hey!" It's hard for Liu Bei to tell the most loyal person. Once you treat him as a fool, he will betray you. Liu Bei already has a trace of regret in his heart. If he had let Sun Qian lead the troops to retreat directly, instead of If you please Pang Shiyuan and abandon Sun Qian, there may not be today's sanitary ware.
But the fact is the fact, the word "if" does not exist in this world.
"Both Dofu and Sun Qian studied under the great scholar Zheng Xuan!" Pang Shiyuan explained.
¡°These two people are brothers in the same discipline.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. The top priority now is to return to Xiangyang City as soon as possible!" Liu Bei can't wait to go back to Xiangyang. Only after returning can Liu Bei truly be safe.
This time the troops were sent to Nanyang County and the losses were really heavy. It's like stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
"Yes!" Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Pang Shiyuan rested for a while and then headed towards Xiangyang City overnight.
When we arrived outside Xiangyang City, the sky was completely dark.
"Brother, you wait here for now, I'll go call the door!" The gate of Xiangyang City has been closed.
Guan Yu needs to go and ask the defender to open the city gate before he can enter.
"Okay!" Liu Bei nodded and agreed.
Guan Yu walked towards the foot of Xiangyang City over there.
"Who is that?" Guan Yu hadn't even gotten close to Xiangyang City, but there were more people there.
"There are people, the enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking!" There was a sudden panic on the top of the city.
"Why are you panicking? Why are you panicking? There is only one person!" Someone above the city finally used the light of the torch to see clearly, but there is only one person below the city.
"Open the door, open the city gate quickly! Master Jingzhou Mu is back!" Guan Yu shouted from the city.
"Master Jingzhou Mu?" This Jingzhou has been in a hurry this year, and has been replaced by two governors. "Didn't Master Zhoumu go to Nanyang?"
Liu Bei¡¯s excuse for sending troops to Nanyang City was not to attack the Cai family and the Kuai family, but to discuss matters with the Cai family and the Kuai family and invite them to come to Xiangyang to serve as officials.
If Zhang Yun agrees, then he can take over Nanyang County without any bloodshed. If Zhang Yun doesn't agree, then he will turn his back and start a fight.
"Zhang Yun rebelled and our army was attacked. Please open the city gate quickly and let Lord Zhoumu enter the city!" Guan Yu continued.
"Who are you?"
"I am Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang!" Guan Yu stood at the foot of the city with a proud look on his face.
"Is there any evidence?" It was getting late, but it was hard to see much from the top of the city.
"What do you mean!" Guan Yu was a little resentful. No one would be in a good mood after being defeated and being made trouble by his own people.
"General Guan, please don't be angry, and please forgive me. I have been ordered by Master Zhou Mu to guard the gate of Xiangyang City. Naturally, I must do my duty with all my heart. If anyone says that Master Zhou Mu is back, I will open the door." How can we guard the city gate in Xiangyang City?" the voice of the city gate commander came from above the city.
It is obvious that although the city gate captain does not believe it, he is not willing to offend the people under the city.
"Well, well, well, well, you are a conscientious person. Tell me, what evidence do you want!" Although Guan Yu was angry, he was also a sensible person. Maybe after returning to the city, Guan Yu would not only not punish the city gate captain, but even punish him. Add an official position to the city gate captain.
"General Guan has a Qinglong Yanyue Sword, which cannot be faked. If the general can take it out, we will believe it!" the captain on top of the city said.
"You want my sword?" Guan Yu frowned and subconsciously refused, because for a general, the weapon is his second life. Without the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, Guan Yu would be even stronger. Discounted.
But I thought that as long as they could enter the city wall, they would be safe and the eldest brother would have a place to rest.
He could only nod his head, "Okay! You put down the hanging basket, and I'll send it up!"
A hanging basket was quickly lowered on top of the city, and Guan Yu put his Qinglong Yanyue Sword on it.
"Guan Yu didn't know that there were two people on top of the city, but they had been paying attention to Guan Yu. "Sir, this Guan Yu has been fooled!"
"Yes!" The man called sir nodded, but did not speak. This was only half the success.
"What! It's someone's sword!" Guan Yu was anxious when he saw his sword being adjusted. After all, this sword was Guan Yu's second life. How could he put his life in the hands of others?
"It's true! It's the real General Guan's sword!"
"How can you recognize it?"
"When General Guan left, I happened to be guarding the city gate. When he hit me, I saw General Guan before, and General Guan used this sword!" said a man who was very active on the top of the city. .
"General Guan, please atone for your sins, General Guan. I will open the city gate for you immediately!" A frightened voice came from the top of the city.
"It doesn't matter!" Guan Yu nodded, as long as he could open the city gate. Although he was angry, he would not blame the city gate captain.
"Crack!" The gates of Xiangyang City opened one after another.
Guan Yu turned his head and called to Liu Bei and Pang Shiyuan over there, "Brother, military advisor, the city gate is open, let's go in!"
Liu Bei and Pang Shiyuan nodded, and Liu Bei couldn't help but smile on his face, "Liu Mang, son, you are still a little short of wanting to kill me, Liu Bei!" Now that Liu Bei thought about everything that happened in Nanyang County, he was full of hatred. ah. Not to mention being defeated by Liu Mang, Liu Mang over there also sent out so many soldiers and horses to chase him, and he almost died on the Yangtze River.
It¡¯s okay now. We have arrived at Xiangyang City. After entering the city gate, Liu Bei will be safe.
"Let's go into the city!" Guan Yu led the way. He wanted to get his sword as early as possible.
Pang Shiyuan supported Liu Bei and walked towards the city gate step by step.
As they got to Xiangyang, Liu Bei became more confident. At least he now had a place for Liu Bei to stay. There were countless city defenses outside Xiangyang City. With this strong city, he, Liu Bei, had one man to guard the gate and ten thousand people could not open it. momentum.
But Pang Shiyuan over there didn't know why, but his mood dropped.
Liu Bei paid great attention to Pang Shiyuan, his most valuable subordinate, so when Pang Shiyuan was depressed, Liu Bei noticed it.
"Shiyuan, did you blame yourself for the Battle of Nanyang?" Liu Bei thought that Pang Shiyuan felt uncomfortable because he lost the Battle of Nanyang, because this time Pang Shiyuan lost to the Yangzhou Army again.
Pang Shiyuan was about to shake his head, but Liu Bei had already spoken first: "Shiyuan, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. There is no need to blame yourself. This is not a disadvantage for soldiers. In fact, there is a huge disparity in strength. This kid Liu Mang is even more cunning!" Liu Bei said! When it comes to this kid Liu Mang, I am gnashing my teeth. This kid Liu Mang, you said you have so many soldiers and horses, come here if you want. If you want Nanyang County, I will give it to you at the worst. It is still outside Nanyang County. , and put him in the same league as Liu Bei.
How can this not make Liu Bei grit his teeth in anger?
"Thank you for your concern, my lord!" Pang Shiyuan forced a smile on his face.
"Yes!" Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction and continued walking towards the city gate.
Pang Shiyuan's eyes were distracted, looking around.
"Huh?" Pang Shiyuan had a good nose. He sniffed hard and frowned because the smell "smells of blood?!"
Yes, the smell of blood was wafting in the air. Pang Shiyuan thought it was from Guan Yu in front of him. After all, the rest of Guan Yu's body was red from the enemy's water.
"That's not right!" Pang Shiyuan rejected his idea again, because if it had come from Guan Yu, they would have been familiar with it. In other words, they would have been born in a fish restaurant and have not smelled the smell for a long time.
If you want to dislike it, you have already disliked it, but not now.
"It's not Guan Yu's body, then it is. Pang Shiyuan seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly his eyes looked at something. Under his feet, there was a wooden plank of a suspension bridge. It was not dry, but wet. The smell of blood comes from here.
Pang Shiyuan touched it with his hand and brought it closer.
"Blood!" Yes, that's blood on Pang Shiyuan's fingers. Not only was it blood, it was fresh blood.
There has been no war in Xiangyang City for many years, how could there be blood? Even when Cai Mao left Xiangyang City with the Xiangyang navy, he did not take action against Liu Biao.
When Liu Mang left Jingzhou, he flew out in a hot air balloon and did not fight at the city gate. As for Huang shooting Liu Biao later, it was also a mutiny in the mansion, and Liu Bei did the same. This Xiangyang City is safe.
But now there are bloodstains that have not been seen for a long time, and there are scratches from the blade on the edge of the bloodstains.
"No!" Pang Shiyuan figured it out in an instant. He was so horrified that he immediately shouted, "Lord, leave quickly, there is a scam in the city!"
"Huh?" Liu Bei was startled by Pang Shiyuan's exclamation.
"Is there a scam in the city?" Liu Bei looked at Pang Shiyuan doubtfully.
"Let's go!" As he said this, Pang Shiyuan was about to pull Liu Bei away. Although Liu Bei didn't understand, he thought that Pang Shiyuan would not harm him.
Guan Yu over there was also shocked. Seeing Pang Shiyuan pulling Liu Bei away, Guan Yu followed him even though he was anxious for his sword.
"What!" Someone in the city also heard Pang Shiyuan's exclamation.
He even saw Pang Shiyuan pulling Liu Bei over there and about to run away, and couldn't help but scream.
"Liu Bei, where are you going? Stay alive!" The entire city gate of Xiangyang City was opened, and pairs of soldiers and horses came out fighting.
This is Liu Bei's haven. It is completely Shura hell. If Liu Bei had entered all at once, he would have died. Entering the city and seeing Guan Yu without weapons is simply unimaginable.
Guan Yu also realized that Xiangyang City no longer belonged to Liu Bei's army.
I saw countless soldiers and horses charging out of the city, each carrying a torch and holding a sword and charging out. It looked like they were the uniforms of the Yangzhou Army.
"Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou!" Liu Bei suddenly remembered a person.
That's right, this city is no longer Liu Bei's. After completely taking over Guan Yu's camp, Sun Qian asked Zhou Yu to send troops, but he himself took Xu Sheng and his five thousand men with him. The Black Flag Army set foot on the land of Xiangyang.
It was an overwhelming force along the way, because no one expected that such a troop would enter Xiangyang, and Liu Bei's army was all in Nanyang County.
" Moreover, Sun Qian's army followed the same route as Guan Yu's previous advance. They were caught off guard and Xiangyang City soon fell.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Pang Shiyuan were all exhausted from traveling all night, but now that they were here again, it was difficult to escape, and they were soon chased by the leading troops over there.
"Kill!" A group of soldiers and horses, led by a captain riding a war horse, came towards Guan Yu and Liu Bei to kill him.
The one in front is Guan Yu. The captain couldn't help but smile on his face. Now Guan Yu is really being bullied by dogs because he is unarmed.
As long as he can kill Guan Yu, he will be famous. Guan Yu said this because he once fought with Lu Bu, the best warrior in the world, and it was hard to separate him.
What's more, he is Liu Bei's second brother. If he is killed, not only will he become famous in the world, but the lord's reward will also be huge.
"Roar!" Guan Yu didn't just let others slaughter him, he roared and charged back.
