Meng Tan said: "If that's the case, I have a good idea. I'll use antlers to stop him at the pass first. When he approaches the pass, I will lead my soldiers down to have a duel with him and pretend to be defeated to lure him to chase me. , and then release hidden arrows at the city gate. If I can hit, I can capture Guan Yu and escort him to Xudu. I will definitely get a heavy reward." Everyone agreed that this plan was good, so they adopted it. Soon someone Reported that Guan Yu's motorcade had arrived.
So Han Fu prepared his bows and arrows, led a thousand men and horses, came to the front of the pass, and asked, "Who is coming?"
Guan Yu still maintained his previous courtesy, dismounted from his horse and saluted, and then replied: "I am Guan Yu, the Marquis of Shouting of the Han Dynasty. I hope I can pass by here. Please make it convenient."
Han Fu said: "In that case, do you have some certificates or letters from the Prime Minister?"
Guan Yu said: "Originally there was, but I left in a hurry and didn't bring it out. You can go find someone to verify this."
Han Fu said: "I also followed the Prime Minister's order to guard here, especially to interrogate some spies who come and go. If you don't have the relevant documents, then even if you are escaping, I will not be able to let you go."
Guan Yu said angrily: "I have already killed Kong Xiu of Dongling. Do you still want to think about it?"
This time Guan Yu changed his previous etiquette and became less patient, because he knew that these people would definitely make things difficult for him.
Han Fu just sneered, everything was as expected, so he pointed at Guan Yu and said: "Can any of you step forward and catch this madman!"
So Meng Tan took action, holding a pair of swords and ran directly in the direction of Guan Yu. Guan Yu protected the vehicle and retreated, taking the initiative to meet the enemy. Before the two began to fight, Meng Tan turned the horse's head, preparing to attract Guan Yu to the city for convenience. Han Fu fired a cold arrow.
Originally, this plan was perfect, but Meng Tan never thought that Guan Yu's horse was different. Meng Tan ran all the way behind, while Guan Yu set up the red rabbit horse and chased all the way. The red rabbit horse was very fast, and Meng Tan had not walked away for a few seconds. Guan Yu raised his sword and killed him in half.
Everyone was very surprised, but although Meng Tan died, he still brought Guan Yu into the encirclement. When Guan Yu was concentrating on chasing Meng Tan, Han Fu released a cold arrow with all his strength. Guan Yu had no time to dodge, and it hit Guan Yu's left side. arm.
Guan Yu didn't make a sound after being hit by the arrow. He just pulled out the bow and arrow with his mouth, and saw blood flowing from his arm. Then Guan Yu flew towards Han Fu, preparing to quickly resolve the battle. Han Fu thought he had hit Guan Yu's left side. Arm, the opponent's movements should be slower. What he didn't expect was that Guan Yu came so fast. He hurriedly retreated, but before he could take a few steps, Guan Yu cut his head and shoulders in half. Following this momentum, Guan Yu killed the rest of the remaining troops and escorted the two sisters-in-law's carriage across the border.
After escaping from the encirclement, Guan Yu took off his turban and used it to wrap his wounds. After what happened with Kong Xiu and Han Fu, he felt that the road ahead would not be peaceful, so he did not dare to stay for a long time and continued at night. After hurrying on, we finally arrived at Sishui Pass.
The general at Sishui Pass was a native of Bingzhou, named Bian Xi. He used a special weapon, a bolas. He was originally a remnant of the Golden Army. He later defected to Cao Cao and has been guarding Sishui Pass ever since.
The news of Han Fu and Kong Xiu's death in battle spread quickly. Hearing that Guan Yu's trip was very close, he immediately came up with a way to ambush more than 200 swordsmen and axe-wielders in Zhenguo Temple, and then expressed goodwill , tricked Guan Yu into going to the temple to rest, and used the lamp as a signal to murder Guan Yu.
After Guan Yu arrived at Sishui Pass, he followed the previous pattern and saluted first. He originally thought that the other party would also ask for documents. Unexpectedly, Bian Xi was very enthusiastic, so Guan Yu relaxed his vigilance.
So he dismounted and came to see him. Bian Xi greeted him with a smile and said: "The general has a great reputation. He killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou. He is a role model for us martial arts students. No one does not look up to him. Now that he has returned to Uncle Liu, it is also a concrete manifestation of loyalty. We Very admired.”
Guan Yu was a little too praised and felt a little embarrassed, so he told the situation of Kong Xiu and Han Fu.
Bian Xi smiled and said: "The two of them were right to kill each other. I will definitely report this situation to the Prime Minister in person and explain the reason clearly."
Guan Yu did not expect that the other party understood him so well, and was very happy. Accompanied by him, he immediately crossed Sishui Pass and dismounted in front of Zhenguo Temple. All the monks came out to greet him.
Zhenguo Temple was an incense temple during the Ming Dynasty of the Han Dynasty. At that time, it was basically dedicated to the royal family. There were more than 30 monks in the temple. One of them was actually a fellow countryman of Guan Yu. His Buddhist name was Pujing. After Guan Yu talked with him, the monk Asking about the situation, he asked: "How long has it been since the general left his hometown?"
Guan Yu thought for a while, cast his gaze into the distance, and said, "I can't remember clearly. It was probably more than twenty years ago."
Pujing said: "Then take a closer look. Do you still recognize me?"
Guan Yu said: "I have been away from my hometown for many years, and I really don't know him!"
Pujing said: "The poor monk's house and the general's house are only separated by a river. We have seen them before."
Bian Xi saw Pu Jing and Guan Yu chatting one after another. He thought that all the monks in Zhenguo Temple knew about his ambush plan. He was afraid that the matter would be leaked, so he scolded: "I still want to invite the general to dinner. You, a monk, don’t say anything more!”
Guan Yu was a little unhappy after hearing this. After all, he met his old friend in a foreign country. He was very excited and his words were speculative. He couldn't explain it clearly in one sentence. He said: "General, don't panic. We are from the same place and have a good relationship. Why?" Can you not tell me about the past?"
So Pujing served tea to Guan Yu. The abbot also came over at this time. Guan Yu said: "The two ladies are in the car. You can go and drink tea for them first."
Pujing nodded and presented the tea to his wife first, and then invited Guan Yu to sit inside and chat while drinking tea.
Pujing used his colors to Guan Yu, making a sword-like gesture with his hands, and then looked at Guan Yu again. Guan Yu was also a smart man, and he quickly understood what he meant, and asked the guards on the left and right to follow him closely with their good weapons.
Guan Yu looked inside and found that there was really a swordsman, so he pretended to ask: "I wonder if you didn't have good intentions by inviting me in for dinner?"
Bian Xi smiled and said, "I sincerely admire a loyal person like you. Please don't doubt my intentions."
Guan Yu stood up as he spoke, rushed behind and pulled out an axe-hand, pressed it to the ground, and said angrily: "I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect your intentions to be so vicious. Is this what you said?"
Bian Xi's face was not good-looking. Knowing that the situation was no longer safe, he quickly stepped back and shouted: "What are you waiting for? Come on!"
