When Guan Yu heard this, his expression was a little complicated.
He did not answer Zhang Fei's question and said softly,
"Third brother, you'd better surrender."
"If you want me to surrender, there is no way!"
Zhang Fei stared at Guan Yu and said dissatisfiedly,
"Second brother, we are sworn brothers. Are you going to attack me today?!"
Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword tightly, with a look of intolerance on his face.
Seeing this, Han Dang from behind stepped forward, cupped his hands and said,
"The general may have some unspeakable secrets in taking refuge in Yang Ling, and it's not convenient for us to ask."
"But today we are in a desperate situation. Even if the general does not care about the friendship in the past, for the sake of Uncle Liu Huang and General Yide, please let us out of the city!"
Guan Yu looked at the coalition soldiers and saw that they were all dejected and covered with wounds.
Moreover, Ling Tong was carrying the body of his father Ling Cao, looking extremely sad!
Guan Yu, who had always been benevolent and righteous, could not bear it even more.
"Father, why don't you let Third Uncle and the others go..."
Guan Xing on the side whispered.
Guan Yu closed his eyes, and after a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, seeming to have made up his mind.
He raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand and hit it heavily on the ground.
"Open the door!"
"General, how should we report to the General..."
Liao Hua wanted to speak but stopped.
"Whatever the guilt is, I will bear it alone!"
Guan Yu said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Liao Hua no longer hesitated and immediately asked his soldiers to open the city gate.
Seeing that the city gate was wide open and our army had a way out, Han Dang and others showed joy on their faces.
"Thank you, General Yunchang. We will remember your kindness today!"
Han Dang didn't waste any time, saluted Guan Yu with clasped fists, and left in a hurry with the coalition soldiers.
When passing Guan Yu, Zhang Fei couldn't help but persuade him,
"Second brother, if you let us go privately, I'm afraid Yang Ling won't let you go."
"Why don't you go back with me? With my elder brother's character, I will never do anything to you."
Guan Yu shook his head, his attitude was extremely determined.
"Third brother, don't talk too much, just leave quickly!"
Zhang Fei hesitated on the spot for a moment. Seeing that Guan Yu had no intention of changing his mind, he had no choice but to sigh and leave helplessly!
As soon as the coalition soldiers left the city gate, they saw Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Ma Chao and others coming to kill them.
Seeing the empty city gate, several people were stunned.
"General Yun Chang, where are the enemy troops?"
Ma Chao asked.
"They...have left the city!"
Guan Yu said expressionlessly.
Looking at the clean and tidy ground and the wide-open city gate, everyone instantly understood what had happened.
"General Yun Chang, you have really betrayed the great general's trust in you!"
Ma Chao shook his head and sighed.
"I will go and apologize to the general!"
A hint of sadness flashed in Guan Yu's eyes.
…
Sheriff's Mansion.
Yang Ling listened carefully and saw that the shouts of killing outside had gradually subsided.
"The battle must be over."
Zhou Cang laughed and said,
"They killed the coalition forces and never imagined that the general would set a trap and wait for them to get in!"
"If everything goes well tonight, we will definitely catch them all!"
Yang Ling's mood was also very good.
At this moment, Ma Chao and others, who had just experienced a brutal fight and were covered in blood, walked in.
"I've seen the general!"
"Meng Qi, second brother, fourth brother, how is the battle tonight?"
Yang Ling smiled.
But Ma Chao and others looked strange. They looked at each other and no one spoke.
"Is it possible that you missed it?"
Yang Ling was stunned and said a little strangely.
If he had followed his plan, the coalition soldiers would never have been able to escape, unless there was a flaw in some link.
At this moment, Guan Yu took off his armor, took off his coat, and walked in from outside with a thorn stick on his back.
After seeing Yang Ling, he knelt down on one knee and said with a guilty face,
"The last general is unworthy of showing his kindness to the general. He opened the city gate wide and let Yide and the others go!"
"What? You let them all go?!"
Yang Ling was shocked.
"According to military orders, General Yun Chang let the enemy troops go without permission. He should be questioned and executed!"
Gao Rou frowned.
After everyone heard this, they all looked at Guan Yu with sympathetic eyes.
Everyone knows that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are sworn brothers.
It was reasonable for him to let Zhang Fei go.
It would be a pity if Guan Yuwen was really killed because of this!
"General, please act in accordance with military orders. I will never complain!"
Guan Yu looked extremely solemn.
"I just hope that the general can take good care of Anguo, General Liao... and Yinping!"
He was not being pretentious. As early as when he let Zhang Fei go, he was prepared to be dealt with by military law!
Everyone held their breath and looked at Yang Ling, waiting for his final decision!
Yang Ling pondered for a moment, then stood up, walked to Guan Yu, and helped him up.
Looking at the confused Guan Yu, Yang Ling smiled and said,
"General Yun Chang and Zhang Yide are sworn brothers. I forgot about this before I arranged for General Yun Chang to guard the city gate."
"You and I have made an agreement before. You are not to blame for this matter. What I will be punished for is my lack of thoughtfulness."
Guan Yu was slightly absent-minded, and soon his eyes became a little moist.
"General..."
"Okay, General Yun Chang, don't blame yourself."
Yang Ling took off the thorn tree from Guan Yu's back and dressed him again.
"In the future, we will need generals to charge forward and make great contributions to the unification of the world!"
"General, please don't worry!"
Guan Yu said seriously.
Although it was not possible to capture all the coalition forces because of Guan Yu, it was still a fruitful harvest.
A rough estimate is that the number of soldiers who were killed and captured alone was in the thousands.
Not to mention Ling Cao, who was killed by Ma Chao's arrow, and Chen Wu and Dong Xi, who were beheaded by Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
After encouraging everyone, the sky was already getting slightly brighter, and Yang Ling also asked them to go back and rest first.
But Gao Rou was not in a hurry to leave. After everyone else left, he smiled and said,
"Congratulations to the general. After tonight, Guan Yunchang must have completely given up on the general!"
At first, Guan Yu came over because of Guan Yinping, and he felt somewhat resentful in his heart.
So after learning that Zhang Fei participated in the night attack on Chen County, Yang Ling remembered that in history, Guan Yu Huarong defended Cao Cao morally, so he came up with a plan.
Arranging Guan Yu to guard the city gate was not due to Yang Ling's negligence, but because he did it intentionally!
The purpose is to make Guan Yu feel guilty and serve him wholeheartedly!
Judging from today's situation, the effect seems to be pretty good!
"Send the order and rename the north gate of Chen County to Huarong Gate!"
Yang Ling ordered with a smile.
Although Gao Rou was a little strange, he didn't think much and took the order and left.
…
After Han Dang and his party escaped from Chen County, they did not dare to stop and ran until dawn.
After making sure that Cao Jun did not follow, they relaxed.
Looking at the sluggish and low-morale army, Han Dang felt like crying.
