The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 584 583 The Burning Yangtze River (23)

Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong led the army, followed behind Guan Yu, and entered Linxiang City together.

In Linxiang City, Guan Yu had already arranged everything. As soon as Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong arrived here, Jian Yong, the chief bookkeeper next to Guan Yu, immediately sent Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong together with a smile. The people brought them to the living room, and then personally arranged for Ling Cao and the soldiers they brought.

In the hall of the government office in Linxiang City, Guan Yu sat in the center, Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong sat on the two sides, accompanied by Chen Dao, Liu Bei's personal bodyguard in the past, and five people sat in the hall. They all sat on the ground, and the table in front of everyone was full of wine and meat.

After the food and wine were served, Guan Yu picked up the full wine jug in front of him, held it up high, and said with a smile on his face: "The three generals have come from a long distance, and the pommel horses have been tired all the way. Here is a toast to the three generals!"

After hearing what Guan Yu said, Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong all looked at each other in blank dismay. They delayed the agreed arrival date, and Zhang Fei was defeated because of this. Guan Yu didn't blame them at all. This made them really puzzled.

However, when they saw Guan Yu's sincere face, and he didn't seem to be playing any tricks, the three of them had some doubts, and finally Ling Cao spoke up.

"General Guan, I missed the appointment, so that General Zhang was defeated in Wuling. The three of us cannot absolve myself of the responsibility for this matter. I hope General Guan will punish me severely!" Ling Cao said very sincerely.

After Guan Yu heard this, he waved his hands and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you. It was caused by my third brother who disobeyed my orders, went his own way, and sent troops without authorization. It has been raining the past few days, making the roads muddy and impossible to walk on. The road to the south is not very easy to walk. No one expected these things. Don’t take this matter to heart. Come, come, drink, drink. Today Guan will clean up the dust for you, you must be in pain Drink to your heart's content, after tomorrow, you may not be able to drink for a long time."

Ling Cao asked, "Why?"

"Because starting tomorrow, I will implement a ban on alcohol. It's not too late to drink and celebrate after winning the battle!" Guan Yu said.

Everyone felt that what Guan Yu said was right. Since Guan Yu didn't pursue their intentions, they were relieved. Immediately, under the persuasion of Guan Yu and Chen Dao, the three of them drank bowl after bowl. He was so drunk that he was unconscious, and lay down directly under the table and died of drunkenness. After a while, the three of them were already snoring everywhere, like rolling thunder.

However, Guan Yu and Chen Dao also drank a lot of wine, but they were still not drunk. Only Guan Yu and Chen Dao knew the secret of this.

At the very beginning, what Guan Yu and Chen Dao drank was indeed wine, but what they drank afterwards was water, which was just filled in wine jars.

So, don't look at Guan Yu and Chen Dao who also drank bowl after bowl, but they were never drunk, and they still stood in front of Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong, making Duo Fu mistakenly think that they drink well .

Seeing Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong lying on the ground in a sleepy sleep, Chen Dao walked up to Guan Yu's side, bowed his hands and asked, "Second Master, what should we do with these three people?"

"The three of them missed the appointment, which seriously delayed the battle plane, causing the third brother to fail, and Changsha fell into danger. It is really a heinous crime. You immediately take a team and lock these three people in the prison car overnight. Send them to Nanchang, tell Sun Quan all the facts here, and ask Sun Quan to deal with them." Guan Yu said.

"Second Master, if the three of them are sent away as prisoners, what will happen to the army they brought with them? That's 3 people. If they gather a crowd to make trouble, the consequences will be disastrous." Chen Dao put himself in his shoes and said.

Guan Yu said: "You don't need to worry about it. I have my own way to deal with them. You just need to be responsible for sending the three of them to Nanchang safely, and hand them over to Sun Quan. In addition, by the way, find a way to get the eldest brother, third brother and My family members were picked up together, and the province will become Sun Quan's hostages at that time."

"Here!" Chen Dao responded, and continued, "Second Master, the situation is very unfavorable to us now. Although I don't know anything about fighting, fortunately, I am good at martial arts, and I can protect Second Master by my side. If I leave, Then who will protect the second master? Why don't you go to Nanchang with someone else?"

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "Except for you, I don't trust anyone else, and it's not an easy task to get all the family members out. So this time, you have to bring a Hundreds of elite soldiers are going with you. You must pick them up. Only in this way can I fight on the front line with peace of mind. Besides, in my life, I have rarely met an opponent. Among the enemies I have encountered, the only one who can defeat me , only Lu Bu is alone. Unfortunately, Lu Bu is already dead, and the rest I really don’t pay attention to them.”

Guan Yu's words were full of arrogance, as if looking down on the world.

Chen Dao paused and reminded: "Second Master, Zhang Yan led the army this time, and I have heard for a long time that there were five tiger generals who were very prosperous under his tent. He will mobilize elite soldiers and strong generals, Second Master is powerful, but after all, he is only one person, if the five tiger generals from back then attack Second Master together, Second Master will be no match for four hands with two fists, I'm afraid..."

Having said this, Chen Dao didn't continue, but stopped the conversation, changed the subject, and hurriedly said, "Anyway, Second Lord, it's better to be careful!"

"Don't worry, I have my own measure!" Guan Yu said.

Chen Daodao: "Second Master, then I will leave tonight, Second Master, be careful!"

Guan Yu nodded, called his confidantes, and asked them to carry Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong into the prison car that had already been prepared, and then gathered a hundred soldiers and handed them over to Chen Dao, who led them. , to Nanchang.

At this moment, the troops brought by Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong were all drunk, and those who were persuaded by Jian Yong were all drunk and unconscious.

After a while, Guan Yu led the army and surrounded the entire barracks from the outside, and then sent people in to collect all the weapons and luggage in the barracks, and transported them to the arsenal for safekeeping.

The next day, the sun was rising, and the strong sunlight hurt Ling Cao's eyelids, forcing him to open his eyes, only to see that he was lying in a prison car, walking on the rough road, tossing all over his body. It's falling apart.He thought it was a dream, but after rubbing his eyes, he realized that it was not a dream, but the real world.Apart from him, there were two prison cars in front of them. Pan Zhang and Tan Xiong were lying drunk on the prison cars. This sudden scene made Ling Cao dumbfounded. He was drinking with Guan Yu yesterday. Why is the eye in the prison car?

Ling Cao quickly scanned for a week, and saw that these people were all wearing heavy clothes, without any banners, so it was hard to tell who they were, but they showed a soldier's aura.

"Hey! Stop, where am I?" Ling Cao felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, and hurriedly shouted to the people outside the prison car.
