After briefly recalling the Xiaoting battlefield, Liu Zhang set off and led his army to the riverside.
Under the escort of Gan Ning, Liu Zhang led his army to safely land on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
After transporting all the troops across the river, Gan Ning did not accompany Liu Zhang to Yiling, but led his army down the river to Yidao.
Gan Ning has always been vigorous and resolute in his work, never dragging his feet.
It happened that Zhang Liao was marching into the Yi Road without knowing what was going on, so Gan Ning could flank him.
Liu Zhang had no objection to this, but told Gan Ning to act with caution.
Gan Ning's departure immediately reduced the number of soldiers around Liu Zhang by half.
Liu Zhang didn't care about this. As long as Dian Wei was by his side, it was enough to ensure safety.
However, Dian Wei didn't think so. In order to ensure Liu Zhang's safety, he kept urging him to leave here as soon as possible.
"Mr. Qin, Yiling City is just ahead. Let's go there as soon as possible!"
After last night's battle, the camp on the shore was still filled with the smell of blood.
Perhaps for this reason, Dian Wei was obviously much more nervous than Liu Zhang.
"Let's go, I just want to meet Xu Yuanzhi!"
After getting Liu Zhang's consent, Dian Wei personally escorted Guan Yu and began to march to Yiling City.
In fact, Yiling City is only a quarter of an hour away from the river bank, and the walls of Yiling City can even be faintly seen from the bank.
There was nothing unusual along the way, and the army arrived at Yiling smoothly.
Liu Zhang looked at the tall walls of Yiling City. There were no traces of fighting, and he was even more overjoyed.
If such a fortified city was to be filled with human lives, even Liu Zhang would have a huge headache.
Now that we can win it without any loss, it is naturally surprising.
The defense of Yiling City was extremely tight. After discovering Liu Zhang's army, they began to prepare for it.
After hearing the news, the general Huang Zhong also rushed to the city wall as soon as possible.
It was not until Huang Zhong personally confirmed that Liu Zhang was personally leading his army that he ordered the alert to be lifted.
Huang Zhong opened the city gate and personally welcomed Liu Zhang into the city.
"I pay my respects to Duke Qin!"
Liu Zhang stepped forward to help Huang Zhong up, his eyes full of love.
"Han Sheng, well done!"
The two have known each other for more than thirty years, and their friendship is unparalleled. Just four words are enough to make Huang Zhong extremely excited.
"I am terrified, lest I embarrass Duke Qin!"
Huang Zhong inherited Liu Zhang's style and was extremely humble, which is enough to show the style of a general!
"Han Sheng, I have never had any doubts about your abilities!"
"Gu guessed the outcome of this battle long before the war started!"
Watching such a harmonious scene between Liu Zhang and his ministers, Guan Yu felt extremely depressed.
After following Liu Bei for nearly twenty years, Guan Yu never received this kind of treatment.
As the Duke of Qin and the king of a country, Liu Zhang still did not hesitate to praise him.
As a military general, Guan Yu must be deceiving himself if he says he is not envious.
"This is... Guan Yu?"
When Huang Zhong nodded to Dian Wei, he also noticed Guan Yu being held by Dian Wei.
"I never thought that General Huang would still remember Guan..."
Guan Yu didn't expect to be recognized by Huang Zhong, and he felt sad in his heart.
The two of them had known each other since the last time they met.
It was also the time when Liu Zhang led his army to rescue Lu Zhi.
Huang Zhong nodded slightly, without much mockery in his eyes.
"Guan Yu, when Duke Qin personally recruited you, you insisted on following the big-eared thief away."
"I wonder to this day, after being put in such a situation, do you ever regret it in your heart?"
Guan Yu did not hesitate, smiled and shook his head.
This was not the first time he heard this question.
Perhaps Guan Yu was unwilling and felt that he was no worse than Huang Zhong and Dian Wei.
But I definitely don’t regret not choosing Liu Zhang.
This is a question of character!
"Guan Yu is a man who puts loyalty first! Even if he dies today, he will not change at all!"
Perhaps because he learned that Liu Zhang had no intention of killing him, Guan Yu became more determined to regard death as home.
Huang Zhong respects loyal people and showed a hint of respect at the moment.
But at this moment, an extremely disdainful voice sounded from the side.
"General Huang, this man knows how to tell lies. Don't be deceived by him."
"This guy was just taught a lesson by General Gan this morning!"
In order to show Guan Yu's incompetence, Dian Wei specially added a sentence.
"Oh, by the way, I'm convinced!"
"you..."
Guan Yu was furious when he heard this.
Scholars can be killed but not humiliated, but Dian Wei went too far.
Dian Wei would not coddle Guan Yu, so he immediately kicked him to the ground.
"What are you? Tell yourself, were you kicked to the ground by General Gan like this?"
Guan Yu opened his mouth, unable to say a word "no".
After all, what Dian Wei said was true.
You can't be defeated in public, just because you are stubborn and don't admit it, right?
"General Huang, look, you don't even dare to fart!"
Seeing that Guan Yu didn't reply, Dian Wei used words to provoke him even more unscrupulously.
Not only that, but in conjunction with his facial expressions and movements, Guan Yu's already red face turned red with anger.
Huang Zhong's eyes showed no respect at all when he saw this, and also showed a strong look of disappointment.
"I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for so many years, it would be worse than before."
Huang Zhong knew exactly what kind of strength Gan Ning was!
Brave, strong, and bold, he is an undisputed top general, and is almost invincible especially in water battles.
However, you can't always strive to be first in everything. In both foot and horse battles, Gan Ning's strength was at most equal to Zhang Liao's.
Guan Yu was on par with Dian Wei before. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, his strength was not as good as before.
"Nonsense! If Guan wasn't ill, how could he not be able to defeat the water thief leader!"
It was nothing more than Dian Wei's humiliation, but Huang Zhong's words directly let Guan Yu break his defense as before.
After years of fighting, Guan Yu's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he is no longer the same!
"Don't you know that Guan killed Yan Liang and punished Wen Chou?"
In order to prove his strength, Guan Yu could only bring out his past results.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou are top generals after all, and killing them is a record they can be proud of.
It's a pity that Guan Yu's proud achievements are worthless in Dian Wei's eyes!
"Hahaha! Incompetent people can only make up for it with rubbish!"
"Yan Liang, don't I know what Wen Chou is?"
When Guan Yu heard this, he felt extremely regretful.
Only then did he remember that in the battle of Hulao Pass, Dian Wei single-handedly defeated Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
There was no way to refute it now.
Dian Wei obviously didn't want to easily bypass Guan Yu, and showed contempt again.
"Just a waste like Yan Liang and Wen Chou, I will beat him with one hand!"
"I am too embarrassed to mention defeating those two bastards, lest I be accused of bullying the weak!"
"It's good for you, you're actually proud of it! No wonder you were defeated by General Gan, you only have this little strength."
Guan Yu really wanted to declare war on Dian Wei and challenge him to a duel, life or death!
But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
Opening your mouth would be a disgrace to yourself!
Dian Wei is a general in the army, and he is just a prisoner. What qualifications do he have to challenge Dian Wei in a duel?
What's more, Zhang Fei had just been defeated by Dian Wei and almost died!
Guan Yu knew that his strength was almost the same as that of Zhang Fei, so he had no confidence in defeating Dian Wei.
After much thought, I decided to endure it.
When Liu Zhang saw this, he also stopped him softly. In his opinion, humiliating Guan Yu had no meaning.
"Okay, let's go into the city!"
