Unexpectedly, it was getting brighter. Gan Ning led the troops in front, and Guan Yu followed him. After walking for a while, he saw thick smoke billowing from the direction of the camp, filling the entire sky.
As they approached the camp, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they were stunned on the spot. The sun was already rising in the east, but the top of their heads was covered with dark clouds, and the darkness made them feel even more oppressive.
"Military advisor!" Gan Ning yelled and rushed to the camp first. He and even Liu Qi's attention to Zhuge Liang, if there are shortcomings, how will he explain it in the future?
Guan Yu's face turned purple-black at this time. He was teased by Jia Xu repeatedly and put Zhuge Liang in danger. As a general, his responsibility was even greater.
At this time, the entire camp was on fire, and the smoke was billowing, making it impossible to enter. Only the sound of firewood bursting and a few screams could be heard occasionally.
Gan Ning and Guan Yu were so anxious that they turned around and saw no one escaping. Instead, they found many corpses of Cao Jun. All of them had blackened mouths and noses and had died of suffocation.
Su Fei led his troops to check and asked in confusion: "Why don't you see your own horses?"
"Could it be that they were all burned to death in the camp?" Gan Ning got off his horse and saw Cao's army outside the camp, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Guan Yu and others stood at the gate of the camp, looking at the billowing smoke. The three armies were silent, and everyone had mixed emotions.
The second thing is that the camp was completely destroyed. If Zhuge Liang and others were surrounded by Cao's army and set on fire in the camp, it would be cruel to think about it.
While they were silent, suddenly a group of cavalry arrived from a distance. It was Xia Houlan who led the troops and asked in shock: "Why is the prince still here?"
Guan Yu didn't bother to answer and asked hurriedly: "Military advisor...how is he doing?"
Xia Houlan replied: "The military advisor has taken Kunyang overnight, but no princes have come to join him, so he ordered me to look around."
"What?" Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes suddenly opened wide, his beard and hair flew up, and he said in a trembling voice: "Military advisor...is he okay?"
Xia Houlan smiled and said: "The military advisor had already seen through Jia Xu's plan. He expected that Zhang Liao would repeat his old tricks, so he set up a formation in the camp and burned countless Cao troops to death."
"That's great, hahaha!" Gan Ning jumped up happily after hearing this and laughed, "Wolong really deserves his reputation."
When the Jingzhou army heard that Zhuge Liang was safe and sound, they took the opportunity to capture Kunyang. They all cheered with joy.
Guan Yu held the Green Dragon Sword, stroking his beard and looking up to the sky, sighing. His eyes did not feel wet. Fortunately, everything was under Zhuge Liang's control. Although he lost the red rabbit, he had officially opened the door to the Central Plains.
"Father!" Guan Ping thought Guan Yu was angry, so he stepped forward and whispered: "The military advisor may not have expected that we would be ambushed..."
Guan Yu waved his hand and said: "No need to explain, this is all my father's fault and has nothing to do with the military advisor!"
Guan Ping was startled. When he looked at Guan Yu again, he suddenly found that his temperament seemed to be different from before. He was a little less fierce, but gave people a sense of deepness and unfathomable depth.
Xia Houlan urged everyone to meet in Kunyang, and Gan Ning also came to comfort him: "Although the red rabbit is dead, it is a well-deserved death to save the life of the king. It is my fault for being too reckless. I will just accompany you one day."
Guan Yu calmed down and stroked his beard and said: "Back then, the thief Cao gave me a horse to win over. If it weren't for the pursuit of my brother, I would never accept it. Now that my brother is dead, I have killed him back to Xuchang. The red rabbit died here. It can be seen that it is God's will!"
Gan Ning laughed and said: "The prince is a righteous person. He has always been clear about grudges and grudges. Now he is a little more free and easy. With such a temperament, he looks like someone who has been through the world."
"It's hard to grow up without poverty, and you will be naive without fighting!"
Guan Yu stroked his beard and sighed, what Liu Qi said back then was just right for him now.
After losing Chitu in this battle, between life and death, he finally realized that he was no longer the charging general of the past, and it would be difficult for him to stand out with the courage of an ordinary man.
Xia Houlan asked Guan Ping, only to find out that Guan Yu was almost plotted by Zhu Ling. He was shocked and hurriedly came up and asked, "Has the Lord been injured?"
"It's just a minor injury..." Guan Yu stretched out his hand to lift up his robe, and was about to express his insignificance when his expression suddenly changed: "No, this arrow is poisonous!"
When everyone hurriedly looked forward, they saw that Guan Yu had been hit by an arrow in his left arm. However, in order not to affect the morale of the army, he quietly broke the arrow shaft and covered his shoulder with his robe without noticing it.
"Go and invite Hua Tuo!" Gan Ning made a quick decision and sent people to Xiangyang.
At this moment, Guan Yu felt a faint numbness in his arms and frowned slightly, but he told everyone not to worry, and ordered Zhou Cang to lead people to bury the red rabbit on the hill, and rush back to Kunyang with everyone.
When everyone crossed Wishui to Kunyang, the flags on the city had already been changed. Zhuge Liang heard the news and went out of the city, and asked hurriedly: "How is the prince's injury?"
"Nothing serious at the moment!" Guan Yu waved his hand.
Zhuge Liang bowed deeply and said, "Although Liang expected that Zhang Liao would come out with all his elite troops to seize the camp, he took the opportunity to counterattack Kunyang. He thought that there would be no more generals in Cao's camp. With the bravery of Junhou and General Gan, he could protect himself. But he didn't expect it. Jia Xu used another poisonous plan to assassinate the generals and almost harmed the princes. I hope you will forgive me."
Guan Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhuge Liang, and sighed with emotion: "The old thief Jia Xu expected that someone wanted a horse to show off, so he fell into the trap. This is Guan's fault. He has nothing to do with the military advisor or Xingba. It can be regarded as a gain in wisdom." Bar!"
Gan Ning praised from the side: "This scene can be compared to the peace between generals and prime ministers!"
Zhuge Liang saw that black blood was flowing out of Guan Yu's arm. He hurriedly went to the government office to ask a doctor for treatment. He cut open his armor and saw that the arrowhead penetrated into the bone. He pulled it out to clean the wound and washed two large basins of black water.
Guan Yu's purple face turned gray and his eyes were blurry. He didn't dare to treat him anymore. He quickly bandaged up and helped him to rest until Hua Tuo came and then treated him.
Guan Ping clenched his fist and said, "Jia Xu actually used poisonous arrows. I swear to kill the old thief!"
Gan Ning gritted his teeth and cursed: "Old thief Jia Xu is really ruthless, he wants to put us to death!"
Although Kunyang was captured by chance, Guan Yu was injured and temporarily unable to advance. Zhuge Liang ordered each battalion to strengthen their defense, deploy troops in Wushui, and connect Mobei before making plans.
The generals went to prepare, and Zhuge Liang rarely showed a solemn expression. He sat in front of the hall with his feather fan pressed and said nothing, with deep eyes.
Jia Xu made two desperate attempts to get rid of himself, and even tried to kill Guan Yu. Such scheming was really terrifying.
Xia Houlan said angrily: "If we don't get rid of the old thief, we will definitely become a trouble to those close to us. Why don't we send the Yanfeng Camp to sneak into Xuchang and kill this old thief and avoid future troubles forever."
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Jia Xu is a good strategist. He must plan for himself before planning, so he must have a way to protect himself. This man is deeply scheming and thoughtful. It is difficult for assassins to succeed, and his efforts are in vain."
Xia Houlan said worriedly: "When Cao Cao attacked Wancheng, he defeated Cao Ang and Dian Wei, and now he has put the princes and military advisors in danger twice. If this old thief is not eliminated, it will be a serious problem!"
Zhuge Liang stood up, put his hands behind his back and went to the door, facing the cold wind to calm down. Jia Xu was the first terrifying opponent he encountered. He was like a snake in a cave. He seemed calm but hid murderous intent. If you are not careful, you may be killed.
After thinking for a long time, Zhuge Liang said: "Please come quickly, General Gan. I have something important to tell you!"
