Chapter 674: Sorrow (2)

"Hush!"

Guan Yu suddenly reined in his horse and stopped moving.

Several followers hurriedly stepped forward and asked nervously: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

"For some reason, my eyelids are twitching non-stop today, and I feel a little uneasy... By the way, is there any news from E County?"

“No news has come yet.

But I heard from people that Cai Mao has led his navy to approach E County. He will probably arrive in the next day or two, and I don’t know if General Yuan Jian can stop Cao’s attack."

"Well!"

Guan Yu nodded, twirling his beard and lost in thought.

It would be difficult for Liao Hua to stop Cao Jun, and Guan Yu knew this.

When he was guarding Sha Xian, he had 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but he was still defeated by Xu Huang. Now, which one of Xu Huang, Zhang He, Xu Chu, and Yu Jin is a good person? Liao Hua only has 2,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but E County has another

There is no danger to defend, how can we resist Cao Jun's footsteps?

Liao Hua stayed in E County, to put it bluntly, to buy time for Guan Yu.

If Guan Yu arrived at Xiajun one day earlier, he could take advantage of Xiajun's terrain and deploy his defenses calmly. Speaking of which, Liao Hua can be regarded as loyal. I am afraid that when he decided to stay, he already had the heart to die. What a pity for a good man.

If I had known that this man was loyal, I could have stayed with my brother and served him. Now that he is clinging to E County, his fate can be foreseen, and there is no way he will be spared...

Could it be that this uneasiness is due to the matter in E County?

Thinking of this, Guan Yu calmed down a lot. He waved his hand on his horse, then rode his horse onto a low hillock, watched the team marching under the hillock, nodded, and told his attendants: "Pass it to me.

Order the three armies to speed up and reach Xiajun before dark."

"Here!"

Tanzhi should have arrived at Xiajun by now.

It is estimated that the arrangements have been made. After arriving at Xiajun, we will let the sons have a good rest, and then send someone to Linxiang to inform the elder brother.

Guan Yu was arrogant and aloof, but he was very kind to his subordinates.

Unlike Zhang Fei who frequently whipped the soldiers, he loved his subordinates very much, so he also won the support of his subordinates. It is really strange to say that Liu, Guan, and Zhang had different backgrounds, but they had the same aspirations. Liu Bei was called the emperor,

Studying under Lu Zhi, he had a bright future. However, due to various reasons, he was eventually kicked out of the school and was reduced to a pawn weaver and seller of mats and shoes. However, in comparison, Liu Bei should be classified as a scholar.

Guan Yu, on the other hand, was born a commoner and did not have a good family background.

Speaking of which, among the three, he has the worst background, not even comparable to Zhang Fei. People say that Zhang Fei is a pig butcher, but in fact, Zhang Fei is a rich man in Zhuo County. Even if he is not from a wealthy family, he can

Calling him a powerful man is still very different from a butcher.

At least in terms of property, Zhang Fei is a hundred times stronger than Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

A down-and-out emperor, a wandering murderer, and a rich man from a wealthy family. The identities of the three people are very different, but they are strangely connected, and they have become a model praised by later generations.

Following Guan Yu's order, the team's marching speed suddenly accelerated.

After Guan Yu observed for a moment, he immediately rushed down the hillock with his personal entourage, and followed the large group of people in the direction of Xiajun.

When it was getting late, the team arrived outside Xiajun City.

However, Guan Yu did not see the camp set up by Guan Ping. Instead, he saw two piles of corpses stacked on both sides of Xiajun's closed city gate. A corpse was hung on the top of the city, swaying in the air. Because

The light was dim, so Guan Yu couldn't see clearly the face of the corpse. However, Guan Yu, who had experienced battles for a long time, immediately realized that something was not right, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to line up, and he rode forward.

The setting sun shone brightly, and the corpse on top of the city was spinning in the air.

Guan Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide, turned pale, and blurted out: "Tanzhi!"

He finally recognized that the corpse was that of Guan Ping.

At the same time, the lights at the head of Xiajun City were brightly lit. Teams of Cao Jun appeared on the wall of Xiajun City, with their arrows drawn and aimed at Guan Yu below the city.

"Second General, you are well."

Behind a female wall, a very familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face appeared.

When Guan Yu saw this man, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Cao Peng!"

Xiajun fell?

How did Cao Jun appear here, but no one knew?

What made Guan Yu even more uncomfortable was the corpse of Guan Ping hanging on the top of the city.

Guan Yu roared angrily, "Cao Peng, come out and die."

Cao Peng heard this and laughed loudly, "The second general came all the way, it must be very hard. If I go to fight now, I will not be able to win.

It is better to ask the second general to rest for a night and fight again the next day.

By the way, your son arrived today, and I wanted to invite him to the city to rest. But he was so stubborn that I accidentally killed him. Now that the second general is here, I will return your son's body to Zhao in good condition.

General, don't be too sad."

"How dare you bully me like this!"

Cao Peng's words made Guan Yu, who was still somewhat calm, no longer able to contain his anger.

At the same time, Cao Peng drew his knife and chopped at the rope tied to the female wall. Guan Ping's body fell straight from the air and hit the ground with a loud thud, sending up a cloud of dust and smoke.

Guan Yu was so angry that he rushed towards the city.

At this time, Cao Peng's eyes flashed, he raised his hand to make a chopping motion, and shouted sternly: "Fire the arrow!"

In an instant, three rows of archers on the top of the city took turns to step forward and shoot towards the bottom of the city. Guan Yu's generals quickly shouted for danger and led their men to rush forward, trying to protect Guan Yu. Facing the rain of arrows,

, Guan Yu was majestic and unafraid. He was seen walking with his sword, and the Lumaxi under his crotch was hissing. The two broadswords were flying up and down in his hands, the swords were shining, and the clouds of swords were rolling. No matter how dense the arrow rain was, there was nothing he could do.

Guan Yu was half a point away. Under his personal escort, Guan Yu rushed to the bottom of the city and snatched Guan Ping's body back to his own formation.

However, for this corpse, nearly a hundred corpses were left under the city.

Cao Peng looked intently at the top of the city and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Why does the Grand Governor sigh?"

Wenwu stepped forward and asked softly.

This Wenwu is Wenpin's adopted son.

After Wenpin returned to Jingzhou, he asked his adopted son to serve under Cao Peng. For Wenpin, this was also a good opportunity to get closer to Cao Peng. And Cao Peng really had no one, so

So he asked Wen and Wu to follow him. Before, Kou Feng had been in charge of the flying camels. But now that Kou Feng was dead, Wen and Wu stepped in and became Cao Peng's personal generals, commanding the flying camels.

Cao Peng said: "What a pity!"

"What's the pity?"

"It's a pity that we went through so much trouble but failed to hurt Guan Yu.

This man is indeed worthy of being a general. If he were not hostile, I would really like to have a drink with him. Although the death of Leihu back then was suspected of speculation, it cannot be denied that this man is indeed powerful."

Wen Wu nodded and looked towards Guan Yu in the distance.

He recognized Guan Yu and even admired Guan Yu.

When Liu Bei and his family took refuge in Jingzhou, Wenpin also highly regarded Liu Bei.

However, this difference in stance meant that Wenpin could not follow Liu Bei. Although Wenwu admired Guan Yu, after all, Liu Bei and the Jingxiang family were in an antagonistic relationship at the time, so they did not pay too many visits.

"Although the second general is brave, he will inevitably die."

Cao Peng heard this and smiled slightly, but no longer bothered about the matter.

"Send my order and let the men prepare to resist the enemy's attack."

"Here!"

Wen and Wu immediately turned around and went down to make arrangements.

At the foot of Xiajun City, Guan Yu stared at Xiajun with bloodshot eyes.

Guan Ping's body was placed in front of him, with several arrows stuck in his body... Guan Yu felt so sad that it was difficult to describe. He only had two sons, and the death of his second son Guan Xing in Nanjuju made Guan Yu extremely sad.

He placed all his hopes on Guan Ping, so no matter what he did, he took Guan Ping with him. He thought that Xiajun was safe, so he asked Guan Ping to be the vanguard and lead the army. Who knew that this

His eldest son, who had suffered so much since childhood, died here at the foot of Xiajun City. How could Guan Yu not feel sad?

Both sons died in Cao Peng's hands.

Although Guan Xing was not killed by Cao Peng, he was killed by Cao Peng's generals and was closely related.

The so-called enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

Guan Yu suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, "Cao Peng, if I don't kill you, I will never be a human being!"

As he spoke, he sat astride his horse and said sternly: "Instruct the three armies to attack the city for me, attack the city... If we cannot conquer Xiajun, I swear not to withdraw my troops."

As he spoke, the drums rumbled.

Although Jiang Xiabing was tired, he also knew that they were facing life and death at this time.

It was not just the death of Guan Ping that angered Guan Yu. Similarly, Jiang Xia soldiers also knew that Cao Jun's occupation of Xiajun was tantamount to blocking their way back to Changsha. If they could not capture Xiajun, they would be killed when Cao Jun came up to pursue them.

Faced with the danger of annihilation of the entire army.
