Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 275 Being able to drink with old friends to reminisce about the old days is a great comfort for life

The sun has moved from the east to the central position, which marks the arrival of noon.

The glare of the sun still shines down, and the sandy soil on the side of the road has shown a timid light, but the withered treetops, bathed in such sunshine, show a different kind of vitality.

Outside Anlu City, Wei Jun banners were thrown everywhere, and people trampled on them at will. Jiang Xia soldiers escorted Wei Jun prisoners to and fro. , the Runan Army has 2 people, and if half of them can escape, then Yu Jin will probably burn incense."

Zhang Xingcai also smiled and said, "In my opinion, taking advantage of such a big victory, we should go all out and attack that Yujin's army stronghold!"

Guan Lin shook his head towards Zhang Xingcai with a smile, and said with emotion: "Sister Xingcai, don't underestimate this Yu Jin... This battle is just his temptation!"

Zhang Xingcai didn't understand, so she stopped answering.

Guan Lin raised his head, covered his eyes with his hands, and squinted.

Gradually, a slit of the hand was slowly exposed, allowing a ray of sunlight to shine on it. Even so, Guan Lin still closed his eyes quickly. This is the rare glare of the sun in winter.

——"Sure enough, the climate of the Little Ice Age was totally messed up...it can snow in summer, and the sun can shine brightly in winter..."

His eyes looked around the entire battlefield again.

Can't help but continue to sigh with emotion.

——"This is the effect of magic attack! 』

At this time, Liao Hua came to report, "Prefect, Dong Chao led the remnants of the army and retreated into Cao Jun's Bishan camp. Yu Jin dug deep trenches outside the camp and formed a defensive posture. Our army did not pursue!"

Guan Lin nodded slightly, "Well done, Lieutenant Liao will take the lead in killing the enemy generals this time!"

"Don't dare to take credit!" Liao Hua showed a humble side.

But around, because of the great victory, the grievances in the hearts of those Jiang Xia soldiers were released unprecedentedly. In addition to counting the battlefield, they looked at the direction of the enemy's escape from time to time, as if...the fighting spirit was still high.

Even after Guan Lin left the city, no less than a few lieutenants reported, and the soldiers called for battle one after another, wanting to attack the enemy camp!
Noticed this scene...

Guan Lin was a little helpless, and immediately said:

"I see that the fighting spirit of the soldiers is still high... It seems that a protracted war is impossible. It's just that our army won the battle and frustrated the enemy's spirit. The Wei army is newly defeated. I'm afraid they will not be able to hold on and consume the battle strength of our soldiers. Means, force me to take the initiative to attack..."

Considering Yu Jin's defensive ability, a strong attack with a fierce fighting spirit may not be effective.

This is him roasting Guan Lin on the fire.

"Prefect, in my opinion... we can use it..." Zhuge Ke was about to suggest that starting with the surrender of Zhu Ling, we should start with the enemy's food and grass.

Guan Lin sighed lightly.

"Let's go back and talk about—"

...

...

Jiangxia, Cao Jun Bishan camp.

Yu Jin personally set up a defensive formation to ensure that the enemy did not pursue him before he returned to the central army tent.

Dong Chao and a group of defeated generals had already knelt on the ground.

Dong Chao shouted: "The last general will die..."

Yu Jin's face was cold, and he sat on the main seat, "General Dong Chao and General Dong Heng have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they have always been partners. In the past, they rarely encountered such setbacks on the frontal battlefield. Tell me, how did you lose so embarrassingly?" ? Even General Dong Heng was beheaded by the enemy? Could it be that Liao Hua's martial arts skills are high?"

It seems that Yu Jin has obtained some information...

Liao Hua, including the enemy's chief general this time, had been Guan Yu's master before, and had never commanded troops, let alone been on the battlefield.

It was precisely because of this that Yu Jin couldn't figure out how his two battle-tested and trustworthy lieutenants lost to a "newborn calf."

"It's a bronze mirror—"

Dong Chao resisted the grief of losing his brother. "The armor of the enemy army is equipped with such a bronze mirror. This bronze mirror can reflect... the sun's light onto our faces, so that the brothers can't open their eyes at all... Therefore, there is no reason for this battle. False..."

——"Bronze mirror? 』

Yu Jin groaned slightly in his heart. He already knew the strange armor of the enemy, and he also knew that there was an extra bronze mirror on the heart of the armor.

Originally, Yu Jin was also curious, but now...

"Come here, get a bronze mirror!"

He ordered loudly.

Not long after, a quartermaster presented a bronze mirror, held it above Yu Jin's head, held it in his left hand, took his right hand back, and looked at it repeatedly... Didn't it hurt your eyes?
"Are you deceiving me without scheme? How dazzling is this bronze mirror?"

Yu Jin was already a little angry.

Dong Chao hurriedly asked: "Can you let the general try."

Yu Jin directly asked the quartermaster to hand over the bronze mirror to Dong Chao. Dong Chao recalled the situation on the battlefield and tried again and again... Finally, he realized something, and walked out the door quickly with the bronze mirror... He Look up at the sun, find a specific direction, then stand in a good position, and shout into the tent: "General Yu, come out!"

Yu Jin stepped out of the big tent...

In an instant, a brilliant light flashed into his eyes.

It made him stagger, and if it wasn't for the guards at his side to support him, he would almost fall to the ground... and because of this, Yu Jin understood thoroughly.

——“Is this the blinding light? 』

——“Such a gorgeous light, the one who lost this battle————” 』

"General Yu..." Dong Chao hastily put away the bronze mirror, went forward to help Yu Jin...

call--

A long exhalation came out.

Even if it was just shot by a strong light, Yu Jinyou fainted and dazzled for a while, and now he feels darkness around his eyes.

After a while, he regained his composure, and quickly ordered: "Quickly report this matter to Shouchun, and report to Prime Minister Cao...and...there is an urgent message to Xiangfan...don't...don't let Xu Gongming The general will follow in the footsteps of someone!"

...

...

Xiangfan battlefield, south of the Han River.

The withered leaves undulate like yellow waves, and the Guan Jiajun led by Guan Yu and Xu Huang's Yongliang soldiers and horses are looking at each other from a distance on the plain.

The Guan family army has all infantry, including crossbowmen, archers, and two hundred vans...

Xu Huang's soldiers and horses are infantry and cavalry fighting together.

The dark-skinned and sturdy men in Yongliang Land are daunting.

Accompanied by the horns of both sides, Guan Yu rode on a red rabbit horse, holding Qinglong Yanyue knife to the north, and Xu Huang rode a brown horse, holding a piercing stone axe, heading south. Soon, both sides could see each other.

This was the afternoon when the sparrows were singing, and it was supposed to be the scorching sun shining on the quiet plain, creating a peaceful and peaceful scene.

But now...

The armies of both sides are approaching rapidly!

The masters on both sides, when they give orders, can decide the life and death of tens of thousands of people here.

At this moment, Xu Huang was staring at Guan Yu intently. Guan Yu's appearance was still nine feet long, with a two-foot beard, his face heavy with jujubes, and his lips painted with fat.

The river wind floats his long beard, and the beard flutters to the side... That unique majesty, Didi, makes people fascinated.

Especially the rare red and phoenix eyes in the world, the crouching silkworm eyebrows, the phoenix eyes are powerful, the crouching silkworms are like fog, and the heroism is overwhelming... Xu Huang felt as if he had passed away. His awe-inspiring arrogance is even better than before!"

But Guan Yu was immediately beckoning to Xu Huang...

This is a gesture of reunion with old friends.

Immediately afterwards, ten shouting soldiers from the Guan family army stood on the high platform and shouted in unison: "General Guan asks, Xuchang, please leave, General Gongming, please come here! General Gongming, please come here!"

Xu Huang laughed and said, "Yun Chang still remembers? Haha, tell him I'm fine!"

So, Wei Jun also stood up ten shouting soldiers, standing on the high platform in unison, shouting in unison: "General Xu said, I am very well! General Xu said, I am very well!"

Guan Yu went on to say: "I have known Gongming since I was young, and I am fortunate to know myself. Although you and I are masters today, before the war, I made good wine in Jingzhou. Dare Gongming taste it?"

The shouting soldier shouted out Guan Yu's words verbatim...

Xu Huang smiled: "Being able to drink with Yun Chang and reminisce about the old days is a great comfort!"

Xu Huang's voice came out.

Guan Yu winked at Zhou Cang beside him, and Zhou Cang quickly signaled.

Immediately, several soldiers walked to the formation of the two armies, spread oilcloth on the ground, put on the table, and placed all the wine cups, wine bottles, and wine vessels on it.

There is also a large canopy umbrella erected on the top, which is used as a sunshade.

I didn't even forget to fix a wooden stake aside, which was used to tie the horse.

The meaning couldn't be more clear, reunion after a long absence, old friends reminiscing about the old days, only Guan Yunchang and Xu Gongming, even those with horses and knives are not allowed to come forward.

Sure enough, Guan Yu handed the Qinglong Saber to Zhou Cang, and he rode a red rabbit horse to the side of the oilcloth between the two armies alone.

Xu Huang wanted to ride his horse forward, and his lieutenants Xu Shang and Lu Jian said in unison.

"General, is there any fraud?"

The implication is whether there will be fuss in the wine.

You know, Xu Shang and Lu Jian were the lieutenants assigned to Xu Huang by Cao Cao later... far from the group of people who followed him from Yang Feng to Cao Cao.

Xu Huang didn't look good towards them and waved his hand.

"This is Guan Yunchang! How could he do such indiscriminate tricks?"

Xu Shang persuaded again: "General, in the past... Prime Minister Cao and Yuan Shao faced each other at Guandu, and they also invited Yuan Shao to drink between the two armies. The army charged, Yuan Jun was facing the scorching sun, his sight was blocked, so he was defeated...now..."

Before Xu Shang finished speaking, Xu Huang gave him a cold look: "Don't talk too much, I don't know about it!"

"But it's noon now, our army is in the west, and the enemy army is in the east. If we delay the time, the sun will set in the west, and the eyes of the Xiguan family army will be shining in the face? Why should we be afraid?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Huang also threw the big ax to the guards, and rode forward...

Not long after, both of them had already walked under the canopy umbrella.

On Guan Yu's side, Zhou Cang, Guan Yinping, Guan Xing, Guan Suo, Wang Fu, and Zhao Lei all became nervous.

On Xu Huang's side, his son Xu Gai, Zhao Yan who joined the army, Xu Shang, and Lu Jian also looked dignified... Especially Zhao Yan, he didn't dare to persuade Guan Yu just now, because it was indeed an old reunion...

But faintly, there is always an unknown premonition.

But what exactly?Zhao Yan couldn't speak again.

Under the canopy umbrella, Xu Huang picked up the lacquered horn cup, and saw the word "Zao" rippling on the bottom of the cup. He laughed and said, "What a character 'Zujube', I made a special trip to carve it. Yun Chang has a heart!"

Guan Yu smiled and said: "I have followed my elder brother for 20 years, and I have forgotten many things in the past, but every time I look in the mirror and see my jujube-colored cheeks, I always think of Zao and Gongming..."

As Guan Yu spoke, it seemed that he was fascinated...

And his words brought Xu Huang's thoughts back to the former Hedong County in an instant...

Back to his childhood hometown, back to the jujube forest where he met Guan Yu!
It turns out that Guan Yu also sold 'red dates' before he became a "housekeeper".

——When selling jujubes, you must "beat the dates!"

The story of playing jujube begins with Guan Yu when he was a child.

Guan Yu was from Jieliang in Hedong, not from a famous family.

But it's like every parent has the idea of ​​looking forward to their children's success.

When Guan Yu was young, his parents saved money for him to go to a private school to study, hoping that Guan Yu would learn some poetry and books...

But Guan Yu's grades are in a mess. Among the many books, he is only interested in "Chunqiu Zuozhuan". "The heroes who are strong in martial arts, hoe the strong and help the weak, help the community, and be righteous to the sky!

Therefore…

His studies were wasted, and he was more focused on practicing martial arts.

However, Guan Yu's talent in martial arts is not bad. By chance, he was taught the sword technique by the sword god "Tang Zhan", and he was fortunate to learn one and a half moves.

Unexpectedly, his parents died of illness, which made Guan Yu's poor family even worse.

In order to survive, he can only make a living by selling red dates.

Exactly, to sell jujubes, one must "beat jujubes".

Anyone who has lived in the northern countryside knows that a long pole is used to harvest jujubes in the north.

Hitting dates is a bit similar to "cutting and chopping", but jujube trees are very flexible. Every time you slash them, the rebound of the jujube tree will feed back a heavier force...

Come and go, spring and autumn, Guan Yu beat jujube crazily every day, after a few years, he managed to develop a whole body of strength, and even his sword skills became much more proficient.

Even, he integrated this power and saber technique to create his own "Spring and Autumn 36 Ways" saber technique, and he focused on practicing the first three saber techniques.

It is not an exaggeration to say that in terms of the explosive power of the first three swords alone, even if Lu Bu touched it, he would have to tremble a little.

And he got acquainted with Xu Huang precisely because of a jujube fight. Xu Huang saw that Guan Yu had great strength, and he was also good at fighting jujube.

After a full hundred rounds, Guan Yu won half a move in the end.

Not wanting to fight, Xu Huang accidentally chopped down several jujube trees.

Now, the owner quit and wanted compensation...Xu Huang wanted to tell the truth, but he never thought...Guan Yu only said that he accidentally broke the jujube when he was chopping it, and he could stay and work for compensation.

For this matter, Guan Yu worked for the master's family for a month, and Xu Huang stayed with him for a month.

During this month, the two worked together during the day and competed in martial arts at night.

This made the martial arts of the two even more advanced by leaps and bounds.

It was precisely because of this incident that the relationship between the two quickly heated up.

In addition, Guan Yu and Xu Huang have similar backgrounds, and both have high martial arts skills. They appreciate each other, learn from each other, and gradually become inseparable friends.

Then came chaos...

Between this pair of friends...the completely different encounters!
Speaking of which, even when Guan Yu surrendered to Cao for a short time, Xu Huang also took good care of him.

But, in private, friends are friends;

Once put on justice, Xu Huang's eyes won't allow sand.

At this moment, when friends meet each other, it's natural to reminisce about the old days, and there are endless things to say.

The two chatted from Hedong County to Xudu, Guandu, and Zhanyan Liangshi.

Xu Huang said with a smile. "I confronted that Yan Liang, and I was defeated in twenty rounds. I never thought that he would be slashed by you. You didn't think about it at that time. Did I, Xu Huang, lose face?"

"It's Chitu Makuai, or..." Guan Yu thought of his son Guan Lin's words.

Thinking of what he said, his eldest brother had told Yan Liang to pay attention to the long-bearded generals on the battlefield... So, he hit him by mistake, took advantage of his unpreparedness, and cut him off with a single blow.

Of course, Guan Yu didn't know whether Yan Liang was dead, whether it was true or not, so it didn't matter what he said.

"Perhaps it's really a coincidence!" Guan Yu murmured.

This sentence surprised Xu Huang, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but Yun Chang has changed!"

"Has it changed?"

"If it was before, why would Yun Chang say that it was Chitu Ma Kuai? How could he say it was a coincidence?" Xu Huang raised the lacquer horn cup again, with a look of astonishment on his face: "Yun Chang should say that I, Xu Gongming, learned art. You are not good... I have let go of my kung fu all these years! This is who you used to be, and what your temperament used to be!"

Following Xu Huang's words, Guan Yu felt a sense of loss.

Yes, he was thinking, how could he say "the red rabbit is fast" and "it's a coincidence"?
Could it be... Yunqi?

Did Guan Yu's temperament really change subtly after he repeatedly fell into a disadvantage in the tense confrontation with him?No longer so arrogant, but know how to be humble and low-key...

——"No, definitely not! 』

Immediately Guan Yu shook his head heavily.

"Don't tell me, this Jingzhou wine has a smell of jujube. It's actually delicious." Xu Huang drank another bottle, but his tone was a little disappointed, "I wish I could stay with Yun Chang forever." Go on drinking like this!"

The two chatted and chatted, and half an hour passed...

Guan Yu couldn't help raising his head to look at the sky and the sun.

It's just that Guan Yu is not good at hiding, so Xu Huang noticed this kind of action.

All of a sudden, Xu Huang became vigilant.

"Yunchang? Are you waiting for the sun? Waiting for the sun?"

"That's right!" Guan Yu would not tell lies either, since he was found out, he simply confessed.

"This, it's not right..." Xu Huang narrowed his eyes, "The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the longer it takes, the eyes of your Guan Jiajun should be the ones that shone."

Guan Yu drank a bottle of wine for the last time, and he got up slowly. "That's what I said, but these years, no... It's the past few months, Guan has learned one thing."

"what?"

"There are always surprises!"

Following Guan Yu's words, Xu Huang also got up. "Accidentally, the sun rises in the west? Sets in the east?"

Seeing that Guan Yu didn't answer any more, he just went to untie Xu Huang's horse rope, and led the horse to Xu Huang, "Gongming, Guan asked you to go back and prepare, prepare, this battle... I will definitely capture you alive, this time I still can't get enough of the wine, we won't be too late to drink when we arrive at Jiangling City!"

"You..." Xu Huang didn't know, so... "Yun Chang? Are you bluffing me?"

"The last time we fought against each other was in Zaolin, Guan won you with a hundred moves!" Guan Yu untied the red rabbit horse and said with emotion: "This time, I don't think it will take so many moves..."

While speaking, the two had already mounted their horses separately...

Guan Yu finally smiled at Xu Huang, "Gongming must go all out, Guan has been waiting for this day for a long time—"

While speaking, Guan Yu had reined in his horse and returned.

At this moment, the Guan family army's military formation has been set up, with a row of vans in front, and Liannu behind the vans...

Xu Huang also retreated back to the army on his brown horse.

Because of Guan Yu's words, he was somewhat uneasy, but he noticed the change in the Guan family army's formation.

——『Are you planning to rely on the sidecar and the crossbow? 』

——"Yun Chang, are you underestimating me?I, Xu Huang, am not that reckless Cao Zihe! 』

Thinking about this...

Xu Huang's command is determined: "The whole army listens to my orders. The cavalry avoids the van and looks for gaps to attack from the two wings. The infantry moves forward slowly... The range of the continuous crossbow is only a few dozen paces, so we only need to cover our crossbow. Within [-] paces, all arrows will be fired, and the enemy chariot formation will be destroyed!"

"All legions, according to the tactics of breaking the side car formation in the previous exercise, attack—"

As if, Xu Huang came prepared!

for a while...

The sound of "dong dong" horseshoes resounded, deafening...

Even though it was a Yongliang soldier, it was under Xu Huang's command.

The corps were well-trained and orderly launched the first and most ferocious attack against the Guan family army!
