Mi Han

Chapter 301
With the Wei army facing a complete collapse, the remaining Han generals no longer needed Guan Yu's command, and they knew what they should do.

Not only for the country, but also for themselves, to kill all the enemies that stand in front of them.

Before the war started, Guan Yu had issued one of the two strategic goals after the victory of this battle.

One is to kill the enemy's vital forces on the battlefield as much as possible.

Especially the [-] Wei Army Zhongjun.

Under the influence of Cao Wei's mixed service system, it was difficult for the surrendered Wei army to quickly transform into the national power of the Han Dynasty.

Especially the [-] Wei Jun Zhongjun who were loyal to Cao Wei.

For this kind of enemy, if we don't wipe them out, what are we going to do with them?

It is true that as Liu Bei's subordinates, most of them are loyal people and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

But before the Wei army surrendered, they were still enemies.

How can it be regarded as indiscriminate killing of innocents when you cut your own blade on the enemy?
Loyalty, not pedantry.

It has to be said that Cao Wei's army is indeed the elite in the world, and there are also some loyal generals in the Wei army's army.

In the case of the complete collapse of the Wei army's battle situation, there are still many Wei army middle troops trying to form formations to fight in the chaotic battlefield.

However, it is impossible for those Wei troops who are not unified and independent to form an formation to pose any threat to the current morale of the Han army.

Their move can only stop to a certain extent at most, the progress of the Han army sweeping the battlefield.

When tens of thousands of Han troops were strangling the diehards in the Wei army, somewhere in the battlefield Zhang Liao also saw Guan Yu attacking him with a knife.

At the beginning, the formation of tens of thousands of Wei troops became chaotic and crowded under the impact of the defeat of more than ten thousand Wei troops.

But when more and more Wei troops turned into routs and attacked the Wei army's formation together, the Wei army's formation had already turned into a bucket with holes on all sides.

And the rout soldiers who panicked and wanted to escape, scattered out of the holes in the bucket like sewage.

Therefore, with the passage of time, the originally crowded battlefield was now divided into countless battlefields by the fleeing rout soldiers, the stubbornly resisting Wei army, and the high-morale Han army.

Fighting is still going on in many battlefields.

Only now, the offensive and defensive momentum has been completely reversed.

In this case, without the obstruction of the crowd, Zhang Liao quickly noticed Guan Yu's movements.

Not only Zhang Liao, but hundreds of tigers beside him also saw this scene.

After seeing this scene, hundreds of tigers who were closely following Zhang Liao advised Zhang Liao, "General Wei, let's go."

An eager urging sound resounded in Zhang Liao's ears.

These hundreds of tigers have won too many honors with Zhang Liao since they followed Zhang Liao and broke the [-] Wu army.

For example, they were conferred the title of Huben by Wei Emperor Cao Pi himself, an honor that none of the hundreds of thousands of Wei troops in the north had ever received.

Because of this, their fate has already been deeply linked with Zhang Liao.

In the chaotic situation just now, the Wei army who had gathered around Zhang Liao either fled or dispersed, only these hundreds of tigers followed Zhang Liao unswervingly.

Even though they were in the midst of the chaos, they still followed Zhang Liao to kill the enemy unswervingly, just like they were outside the city of Hefei.

It's just that when these hundreds of tigers saw Guan Yu leading the army approaching this place quickly, fear appeared on their faces.

Guan Yu is not Sun Quan. Back then, Sun Quan would run away in fright because of the bravery of hundreds of them, which made them laugh.

Guan Yu was a world-renowned general who was capable of leading an army and killing hundreds of them.

While they can die, their master Zhang Liao cannot die.

They have received too much favor from Zhang Liao in the past, now is the time for them to repay the favor.

Under the urgent urging, some tigers even stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Liao's arms, about to protect Zhang Liao and break out of the encirclement.

But those loyal actions of Huben were stopped by Zhang Liao's stern shout.

After stopping the actions of those tigers, Zhang Liao looked at the hundreds of tigers guarding him, and he couldn't help but look puzzled in his eyes.

How did he lose?
At this point in the war, the defeat of the Wei army is set.

So this question appeared in his heart.

Originally, the situation on the battlefield had always been Wei Jun's advantage, but almost suddenly, tens of thousands of Wei Jun were caught off guard by a near-destructive blow, but was it his fault?
He was obviously very cautious, very careful.

Zhang Liao looked at Ma Chao who was leading the Xiliang iron cavalry not far away. Wei Jun's defeat seemed to have started since he appeared.

If it weren't for a first-class cavalry general like Ma Chao leading the Xiliang iron cavalry, Sun Li would not have been defeated so quickly.

There was almost no time for him to react.

But could it be his fault that he hadn't anticipated this?

Just ask, who in the world would believe that in this crucial battle, Guan Yu would put the key to victory on a notorious person like Ma Chao!
This is like when Liu Bei came to Japan for the Northern Expedition, he was appointed as the forward general of the Han army.

Ma Chao's reputation and untrustworthiness are several orders of magnitude higher than Yu Jin's.

This arrangement is simply unimaginable for the courtiers in Cao Weizhong.

Today's famous ministers of Cao Wei were all single-handedly promoted by Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao.

And what did Cao Cao do to those who might rebel?
It is to make people break into the barracks directly to take away his military power, and to force him to commit suicide by using various excuses
Under the influence of Cao Cao's approach, not only Zhang Liao, but even Jia Xu, probably couldn't have expected Guan Yu's move.

This is the different national conditions between Cao Wei and Ji Han.

What Zhang Liao didn't know was that this kind of unreasonable trust was endless in the history books of the original Ji Han, and those trusts also created many evocative characters in Ji Han.

For example, Jiang Wei, who was loved by countless people in later generations.

It is this kind of trust that is sometimes incomprehensible to ordinary people that allowed the Ji Han regime to survive for decades after Zhuge Liang's death.

Because Zhang Liao didn't understand this kind of trust, he went on to think:

Today's defeat of the [-] Wei army, apart from the sudden appearance of Ma Chao's cavalry army, is it true that Cao Pi, the master he serves, is not responsible?

It is true that Mi Yang's strategy is that everyone will be angry, even if Cao Cao is alive, he will be furious.

And Cao Cao may send troops out of anger, but he will never let his side be completely led by the nose by the enemy.

Before Zhang Liao left Wancheng, Cao Pi asked Zhang Liao a question: "If our army and the bandit army fight in the field, what are the odds of winning?"

At that time Zhang Liao's answer was: "[-]%."

This is because the opponent is Guan Yu.

But after Zhang Liao finished answering this answer, he went on to answer: "If the fine cavalry is transferred from the border again, and a famous general is ordered to lead it, the chance of winning is [-]%."

This judgment is Zhang Liao's experience gained from many years of fighting. If you ride together, you will be invincible.

From the news that Xu Chu informed after his arrival, it can be known that Cao Pi originally ordered Zhang He to lead the Guanzhong iron cavalry to participate in the battle.

But it is a pity that because of Guan Yu's voluntary retreat, Cao Pi, who was completely overwhelmed by anger, couldn't wait.

But if Zhang Yun's Guanzhong Iron Cavalry were here today, how could it be Zhang Liao who failed!
Victory should have belonged to Wei.

One master is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted.

Perhaps in the beginning, Zhang Liao's real opponent was not Guan Yu, but Cao Pi, who seemed to be extremely kind to him on the surface.

Zhang Liao knew that he was in a dead end today.

Maybe he can escape now.

But the destruction of the [-] Cao Wei Zhongjun happened right in front of his eyes. Even if he was a general who was not a direct relative, even if he escaped in the end, what would happen to him?

Zhang Liao is not a simple general, he is well versed in the unspoken rules in politics.

The [-] Cao Wei Central Army was destroyed. Such a miserable result must be unacceptable to the Cao Wei government and the opposition.

For such a tragic failure, someone needs to come out to appease the anger of the courtiers, and someone needs to come out to give an explanation to the people of the world.

Such a person cannot be Cao Xiu as the deputy general, let alone Cao Pi as the emperor. As the general of the three armies, he is the most suitable.

Cao Pi's favor to him before the war was both trust and pressure.

This is a big battle that Zhang Liao must not lose. If he loses, he will pay with his life.

Only in this way can his family be preserved, and maybe he can still win a good posthumous title.

How could Zhang Liao, who had already figured everything out, heed the advice of Left and Right Huben and leave this battlefield?

Now that he is facing a certain death situation, before Zhang Liao dies, he must be upright.

Seeing Guan Yu approaching, Zhang Liao took off the pocket guard on his head, and he held the ring head knife and patted the pocket guard on his hand with the knife.

When the gold and silver objects in Zhang Liao's hands collided with each other and produced a unique sound, the sound formed a special melody under Zhang Liao's orderly slapping.

This melody belongs to the Yuefu poem "Fifteen Military Expeditions" that is circulated among all armies in the world.

The sad melody began to circulate around Zhang Liao's body, and quickly spread to the hundreds of tigers around him.

"Fifteen to join the army, and eighty to return."

Daofeng villagers: Who is there in the family?

From a distance, it is the Jun's house, and there are many pine and cypress mounds.

I went out and looked east, and my clothes were stained with tears. "

Zhang Liao didn't sing the content of this poem, but this poem was so widely spread that everyone present knew this poem.

Just because they knew it, a silent and desolate atmosphere began to permeate among these hundreds of people.

After silently reading the content of the poem in his heart, Zhang Liao looked to the north.

He muttered in his mouth: "I also joined the army when I was fifteen, but I am not lucky, and I will not be able to go home again."

Zhang Liao's tone was full of regret and unwillingness.

When his words were heard by the surrounding tigers, many tigers felt moved and shed tears.

They can't go back either.

Even though he knew that staying with Zhang Liao would be fatal, none of the tigers abandoned Zhang Liao at this time.

Cao Wei is not all ruthless.

It's a pity that I missed paying so much.

After Zhang Liao slapped the melody of "Fifteen Military Conquests" once, Guan Yu had already killed Zhang Liao all the way.

Seeing that the long knife in Guan Yu's hand was knocking away a Wei soldier, so that there was no obstacle between him and himself, Zhang Liao bent down and picked up a long spear on the ground.

In the battle just now, the long halberd in his hand had already been thrown away.

Although he has always used a long halberd to kill enemies in the past, he knows everything. For Zhang Liao, the spear is also a weapon he is good at.

After picking up the spear, Zhang Liao didn't hesitate any longer. Like a swift wild leopard, he rushed towards Guan Yu in front of him with the spear in his hand.

At the moment Zhang Liao rushed towards Guan Yu, the hundreds of tigers around him also held sharp knives, and killed the hundreds of Han troops brought by Guan Yu.

Facing Zhang Liao's violent attack, Guan Yu didn't show panic, he had expected this scene.

Even though the two were good friends in the past, the meeting before the start of the war cut off their former friendship.

Now the two sides are just enemies, and if they meet, there will be only a fight to the death.

The spear in Zhang Liao's hand stabbed at Guan Yu at an extremely tricky angle.

Guan Yu calmly raised the big knife in his hand to block him, and then slashed the big knife in his hand towards Zhang Liao's body.

Facing Guan Yu's powerful blow, Zhang Liao also calmly raised his gun to block his attack.

After the first move, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao separated briefly.

But soon the two rushed towards each other and fought together again.

Guan Yu's title of "enemy of ten thousand people" has been known for decades. As the enemy of ten thousand people, he has always focused on offense.

And Zhang Liao is also famous all over the world for his bravery.

When he was determined to die, he didn't care about his own safety, and only cared about launching a fierce attack on Guan Yu.

It was precisely because both of them focused on offense that their confrontation reached a climax from the very beginning.

The light of the guns and the shadows of the knives continued to circulate around the two of them, and the rushing sounds of the clashes of the guns and knives also reflected the fierceness of the two men's fights.

Guan Yu and Zhang Liao used to be good friends, so the two of them often sparred in private.

What is happening now is very much like when they were competing in Xuzhou and Xudu.

It's just that compared to the sparring in the past, today's confrontation between the two is full of killing intent.

When masters fight against each other, they are all killer moves from the very beginning.

When Zhang Liao wanted to attack the formation of the Han army just now, Guan Yu fought against Zhang Liao.

It's just that the short fight was interrupted by the reinforcements from both sides soon after.

Zhang Liao's actions were obviously intended to continue the battle he had just had with Guan Yu.

Even if he died, if he could die under Guan Yu's hands, that would be his pride.

When Zhang Liao and Guan Yu fought, the infantry of both sides also began to fight each other.

Although Zhang Liao's hundreds of tigers were attacking with the heart of death, Guan Yu's current ones are also those who are not afraid of death.

In addition, the Han army clearly has the upper hand in the current battlefield, so after realizing that Guan Yu is here, the Han army is constantly gathering towards this place spontaneously.

Soon, Zhang Liao's hundreds of tigers fell into a numerical disadvantage.

In the case of an absolute disadvantage in numbers, no matter how brave those hundreds of tigers are, they cannot escape the end of death.

One after another, the Wei Jun tigers collapsed, and they all screamed involuntarily before they died.

And the screams continued to reach the ears of Zhang Liao who was fighting Guan Yu.

To make hundreds of tigers willing to die for him, Zhang Liao treated them like father and son in the past.

Now that he heard that a tiger who had been his adopted son in the past died tragically beside him, the sadness in Zhang Liao's eyes became more and more serious.

And under the screams, Zhang Liao's mind was unconsciously distracted a lot.

When masters fight, they can't be distracted for a moment.

Zhang Liao's bravery is not as good as Guan Yu's.

Now his mind was pulled by the screams around him again, which made his offensive less violent.

After Guan Yu noticed this scene, he seized the opportunity in time.

A knife shadow that was so fast to the extreme slashed Zhang Liao's waist when he was distracted.

The huge force knocked Zhang Liao into the air, and he fell heavily to the ground.

After Zhang Liao fell to the ground, a pain that invaded the bone marrow instantly permeated Zhang Liao's whole body.

His waist was completely covered in blood, and at the waist that kept gushing blood, a large piece of flesh and blood had disappeared, and only Sen Han's white bones remained.

Guan Yu's knife cut off all the vitality of Zhang Liao.

　Tomorrow 29, the countdown to the new year.
