I thought Yu Yi would be more surprised, but he didn't expect that after hearing the report, his face didn't show much emotion. He just turned around, looked at the tombstone, and said: "Since it is Brother Guan's intention, he will naturally respond. What's the use of telling me what to do?" Lei Chunze wanted to retaliate again, but Yuyi just ignored him. In desperation, Lei Chunze just stepped aside, called Xiaoli in front of him, and asked: "Young Master What's going on here?"
He replied: "My husband has been like this for a long time, and no one can persuade me."
Lei Chunze sighed and said: "Now that Jingzhou is occupied by Soochow, Nanjun and the public security are in danger, and General Guan Yu is likely to fall into a situation of being flanked."
Xiaoli shook her head and said: "My husband is right. Jingzhou's troops have been transferred to the front line. We can't do anything if we go back now. If we are surrounded by the enemy, our sacrifice will be in vain."
Lei Chunze clenched his fists and said, "Are we just going to watch Jingzhou fall into the enemy's territory?"
While the two were discussing, Huang Mochou came forward with a boy and a girl. Lei Chunze knew the girl was Yu Sisi, so he quickly walked up to him and asked, "Is this boy Yu Daye?"
Yu Sisi nodded and saw Yu Daye hugging Yu Sisi and crying: "I don't have a mother anymore!"
Xiaoli stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Yu Daye, it doesn't matter, I will be your mother from now on."
At the front line of Fancheng, a scout came to report that Xu Huang and his troops were attacking due north. Guan Ping said: "If the first camp is lost, the other camps will lose their peace. They all rely on the Mian River, and the bandit army will not be able to survive." If you dare to come here, I will go with you to save the First Tun."
Liao Hua called his generals in front of him and said: "You all stick to the camp. If any traitors arrive, raise your torches."
The general said: "The antlers of Sizhong Village are ten heavy, and even birds can't get in. Why should we worry too much?"
So Guan Ping and Liao Hua gathered the elite troops of Sizhong Village and stationed them together at the First Tunnel. Guan Ping saw the Wei army stationed on the shallow mountain and said to Liao Hua: "Xu Huang stationed troops and had no geographical advantage. He can go with his troops tonight." Rob the stronghold.”
Liao Hua said: "General, you can send half of your troops to sneak attack, and I will guard our camp carefully."
That night, Guan Ping led a group of soldiers and horses into the Wei army camp. No one was seen. Guan Ping knew it was a trick and retreated quickly. Xu Shang on the left and Lu Jian on the right fought out from both sides. Guan Ping was defeated and returned to the camp. , the Wei army took advantage of the situation and came over and surrounded them. Guan Ping and Liao Hua could not hold on, so they abandoned the first camp and went to Sizhong stronghold. When they walked nearby, they saw a fire in the camp, which was the flag of the Wei army. , they could only continue to retreat towards the main road of Fancheng, but they encountered another group of soldiers and horses, led by a general who was none other than Xu Huang, Guan Ping and Liao Hua fought to the death, took the road away, returned to the camp, and went to see He asked Guan Yu and said: "Now Xu Huang has captured Yancheng and other places, and Cao Cao himself has led an army in three directions to rescue Fancheng. Moreover, many soldiers have spread rumors that Jingzhou has been attacked by Lu Meng."
Guan Yu was furious and shouted: "This must be a rumor from the enemy to disrupt the morale of our army. Lu Meng of Dongwu is critically ill, so Lu Xun came to take his place. It is not a worry at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly reported that Xu Huang had arrived with troops and horses. Guan Yu ordered the troops to be prepared. Guan Ping admonished: "My father's body has not recovered, so he cannot go to fight!"
Guan Yu said: "Don't worry, Xu Huang and I had a very good relationship before. I know this person very well. If he doesn't retreat, I will come out and kill him to warn the Wei generals." After saying that, he put on his sword and mounted his horse, and bravely When Wei Jun saw Guan Yu, they all felt very frightened.
Guan Yu stopped his horse and shouted, "Where is Xu Huang? Come out and answer?"
In front of Wei Jun's formation, Xu Huang came out, bowed and said: "It has been many years since I said goodbye to Junhou. I didn't expect that Junhou had gray hair on his head. Thinking about how he suffered many hardships when he was young. I will never forget my teachings, and now the majesty of the monarch is so powerful in China that my old friends are very envious after hearing it. Now that I can see you again, I feel very happy."
Guan Yu nodded and said: "The friendship between you and me is profound and cannot be compared with that of ordinary people. Why are you chasing my son like this now?"
Xu Huang turned around and said to everyone: "If you can get Guan Yu's head, I will reward you with a thousand gold coins."
Guan Yu was very surprised after hearing this and said, "Why do you say that?"
Xu Huang said: "This is a matter of state now. I dare not neglect official matters just because of personal matters." After saying this, he waved the ax in his hand and attacked Guan Yu directly.
Guan Yu was very angry, so he fought with his sword for more than eighty rounds. Although Guan Yu was very skilled in martial arts, his injury to his right arm had not healed, and he was still unable to use his strength. Guan Ping was afraid that Guan Yu would be injured, so he quickly called for gold. Guan Yu quickly turned his horse back and returned. Camp.
Suddenly I heard loud shouts and tremors. It turned out that it was Cao Ren in Fancheng who heard that Cao Cao's rescue troops had arrived. He led his troops out of the city and joined Xu Huang. They attacked from two sides. The troops in Jingzhou were in chaos. Guan Yu quickly mounted his horse. He led everyone to the upper reaches of Xiangjiang River.
The Wei army caught up behind him, and Guan Yu quickly crossed the Xiangjiang River and headed towards Xiangyang. Suddenly someone came to report, saying: "Jingzhou has been occupied by Lu Meng, and his family members have been controlled."
Guan Yu was very surprised and did not dare to go to Xiangyang. He led his soldiers and horses to the police station. Suddenly, a detective horse came to report: "Fu Shiren, the police officer, has surrendered to Soochow."
Guan Yu was furious. At this time, Ye Huatong also arrived and reported the specific situation in Jingzhou. At the same time, he explained that Huang Shumin was coming with the remaining troops.
After Ye Huatong finished speaking, Wu Chenggong also arrived and reported: "Public Security Fu Shiren went to Nanjun, killed the envoy, and summoned Mi Fang to surrender to Soochow."
After Guan Yu heard this, he was so angry that his wounds burst open and he fell unconscious on the ground. When everyone rescued him, Huang Shumin also arrived.
Guan Yu said to Sima Wangfu: "I regret not listening to your words, and now such a thing has happened." After speaking, he held Huang Shumin's hand and said: "It's been hard coming all the way. If I had listened to you that day My suggestion is to maintain Jingzhou’s defense system so that Soochow will not succeed so easily.”
Because of the forced deployment of troops, Huang Shumin had a bad impression of Guan Yu. But when she saw Guan Yu lying weakly on the bed and actively apologizing to herself, Huang Shumin's mood changed instantly and she comforted: "General, please don't worry too much. We can definitely fight back to Jingzhou and take revenge!"
Guan Yu nodded and asked, "Didn't we set up beacon towers up and down the river? If the enemy attacked, why didn't we raise the torches?"
Huang Shumin replied: "Lü Meng sent sailors wearing white clothes to cross the river dressed as merchants. He hid all his elite soldiers in the boat and first captured the soldiers guarding the beacon tower, so there was no way to raise the fire."
