Xu Hong hurried back home. Xu Jiaoni, who was waiting for her father, immediately came up and asked excitedly: "Did your father tell your lord? What did you say to your lord?"

Xu Hong frowned and shook his head, saying, "I suddenly heard a situation, and I said nothing to my father!" Xu Jiaoniang seemed a little unhappy when she heard this, and asked, "What happened? Did she ask her father to let go of such an important thing?" Xu Hong said, "I heard the lord talking to Lord Pang Tong, saying that Ma Chao, the general of Lu Bu army, suddenly led his army to seize Jigu, and the situation became a little bad!" Xu Jiaoniang looked shocked and said in disbelief: "The lord is not Lu Bu."

Has the reconciliation been made? But why...?" Xu Hong said angrily: "Lu Bu has never had any faith, and his previous promise must have deceived his lord!" Xu Jiaoniang couldn't help but feel angry and cursed: "Lu Bu is really hateful!" Then he asked Xu Hong, "Isn't that daughter's affairs not possible? Isn't it possible to say it for the time being?" Xu Hong frowned and said, "At this time, the lord must be in the mood to pay attention to other things, wait a moment!" Xu Jiaoniang looked depressed.

The unexpected loss of Jigu is a very serious matter for Liu Bei, which makes it difficult for Guanzhong's troops and supplies to be quickly transferred into Hanzhong, while the Qin army of Lu Bu can take this opportunity to attack Hanzhong. However, the current situation is still relatively favorable for Liu Bei. Although Ma Chao seized Jigu, the main force of the Qin army was unable to launch a full-scale attack due to food and grass issues. As long as Liu Bei can regain Jigu as soon as possible, he will still be able to take the initiative in this war.

After receiving Liu Bei's order, Guan Yu immediately rushed to the military camp, mobilized 10,000 troops out of the northern gate of Hanzhong, and rushed to Jigu. Jigu was not far north of Hanzhong. The army led by Guan Yu rushed to Jigu in the early morning, and saw two mountains standing in front of Baoshui. In the dim light of the early morning, it was like a giant gate standing on the earth.

At this moment, a loud horn sound suddenly came from all around him. At the same time, the earth was trembling and the iron hooves roared. Several war cavalry suddenly rushed out of the darkness in all directions and crashed into Liu Bei's army! The iron hooves were rushing and colliding, and swords and guns raised cold lights in the darkness. The unexpected Liu Bei's army was killed so hard that it was tilted and flesh flew everywhere, and its formation was suddenly disrupted by a sudden blow!

Guan Yu was shocked and angry, and roared repeatedly! Liu Bei's army was also Byzantine elite. Facing this sudden fierce attack, they were shocked but not chaotic. They immediately searched and arranged a formation to resist the attack under Guan Yu's command! The enemy generals of the Qin army rushed into pieces, and then they collided onto the front line formed by Liu Bei's army, like a storm of waves, and the iron hoofs roared and slammed onto the Liu Bei's army's front line! The hasty defensive front line could not withstand such a strong impact, and it collapsed in an instant! The Qin army's cavalry broke through the formation, and the iron hoofs and long swords killed wildly! Seeing the urgent situation, Guan Yu personally led his big sword cavalry to rush forward and collided with the Qin army's cavalry head-on!

It was a great battle, and the two sides were intertwined at speeds that could not be reacted by the naked eye. The weapons collided fiercely. In the air, flesh and blood flew everywhere. The horses were neighing and shouting. The two sides were fighting over the horses! Guan Yu collided with Ma Chao, and the two started a battle among thousands of troops, as if two extremely ferocious tigers were slamming together and fighting fiercely! What a dragon fight, Guan Yu's big sword flew up and down, and each sword seemed to be able to split Mount Hua, with great momentum and thrilling; while Ma Chao was

Like a mad dragon roaring, the dragon air gun in his hand was like a rushing lightning, and the cold lights were like lightning and thunder, and a terrifying sound broke out in the collision with the opponent! The two of them were like dragons and tigers fighting, but they were particularly eye-catching among the thousands of troops. The two fought for more than twenty rounds but were still resentful. At this time, Liu Bei's army had stabilized their positions and began to quickly surround the Qin army. At this time, Liu Bei's army's military advantage had been fully utilized, and the Qin army's combat cavalry could no longer achieve results.

Ma Chao noticed that the situation was reversed, and immediately waved the dragon cavalry and left Guan Yu, turned his horse's head and ran straight towards Jigu, and shouted loudly: "Retreat!" The Qin army broke away from the battle one after another. Before Liu Bei's army could finish the encirclement, they rushed out of the enemy group and escaped the battle. The angry Liu Bei's army roared and chased, but Guan Yu shouted loudly to stop the subordinates who wanted to pursue the Qin army.

Seeing that the Qin army had retreated into Jigu, Guan Yu looked at the surrounding terrain and saw a small stream under a small hill not far away, and immediately ordered the central army to go there to set up camp.

Early the next morning, just as Guan Yu and his officers and soldiers were still resting, the sound of the alarm bell suddenly sounded. Guan Yu woke up and immediately picked up his Qinglong Yanyue Sword and ran out of the big tent. As soon as he came out of the big tent, he met Zhou Cang who was rushing towards him. When Zhou Cang saw Guan Yu, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "June, Ma Chao leads his army to challenge the camp!" Guan Yu's phoenix eyes frowned slightly, and an angry expression appeared in his eyes, and muttered to himself: "This Ma Chao is really rampant! Just because of these less than two thousand people, he dared to provoke him on his own initiative!" Then he shouted at Zhou Cang, "Send the order immediately, all the troops gather, and follow me to fight!" Zhou Cang clasped his fists and agreed and ran down immediately.

Not long after, a rumbling drum sounded from Liu Bei's army's camp, and the camp gate opened wide. Guan Yu led his officers and soldiers to come out and lined up the camp. Guan Yu immediately stood in front of the army, followed by hundreds of majestic and tall big sword cavalry with big swords, and a group of infantry troops lined up behind the big sword cavalry. The formation arranged by Guan Yu was a typical offensive formation.

Guan Yu looked at Ma Chao with a big sword and shouted sternly: "Ma Chao, you are the rebellious person who is on your back and seeking honor! You dare to appear in front of me. Don't you know that there is still shame between heaven and earth?" Ma Chao smiled coldly and said: "Guan Yu, don't say the opposite! If I hadn't helped you, would you have seized Xichuan?" Then he raised his eyes and said angrily: "However, Zee and others are ungrateful, but after the matter is completed, they are afraid that my prestige will be too high and will hinder your power, so they put me in a blank! Humph, what do you say about your back and seeking honor! Liu Bei has the qualifications to be my lord, don't forget that my title was still above him at that time! If you want to say the Lord, I should be the Lord! You are the one who is on your back and seeking honor, not me, Ma Chao!"

Guan Yu was furious and shouted sternly: "Clever words are so shameless! Ma Chao, don't say too much, do you dare to fight me to the death?"

Ma Chao laughed loudly and said proudly: "Guan Yu, you are really nothing in my eyes! If you want to fight, you can fight!"

Guan Yu roared and rushed out. Ma Chao opened his eyes and rushed out of the military formation. The main generals of both sides rushed towards the other side. The blood of the soldiers on both sides was boiling, and they couldn't help but make huge shouts. Amid the shouts of mountains and roars, they saw the two of them colliding together and fighting! On the battlefield, swords and spears were dancing, and the battle between the two actually gave people the tragic feeling of a decisive battle between two elite troops! The sound of swords and guns colliding was endless, and the two tiger generals soared into the sky and killed the sky and the earth, the sun and the moon were gone!

The two sides fought for more than fifty rounds without a chance of winning or losing. At this time, Guan Yu's war horse suddenly fell off and fell down! It turned out that in this fierce battle, Guan Yu's war horse could not withstand the huge attack pressure of the opponent one round after another, and finally fell down, but implicated Guan Yu who was riding on its back.

When Liu Bei's officers and soldiers saw Guan Yu fall down, they all changed color, and their shouts stopped abruptly! But at this time, Ma Chao held the dragon cavalry spear and sat on the horse's back, looking proudly at Guan Yu who was rushing to get up from the ground.

Seeing that Ma Chao did not take the opportunity to attack, Guan Yu couldn't help asking, "Why don't you take the opportunity to attack?" Ma Chao said proudly, "I am not like you, and I will never take advantage of others!" Guan Yu was very angry and couldn't speak. Because he defeated Yan Liang and Wen Chou at the beginning, it could be said that he took an unexpected advantage. In the face of the other party's ridicule, how could he retort?

At this time, Guan Yu suddenly heard a shout from behind him, and he couldn't help but turn to look. He saw that the second general of Zhou Cang, Guan Ping, led the army to cover up and kill him! Ma Chao smiled sarcastically and said, "Guan Yu, let's fight again next time!" Then he turned his horse and ran back to his own army, leading the troops to quickly retreat back to Jigu. Guan Ping Zhou Cang saw that the enemy had retreated and did not pursue him, so he stopped around Guan Yu. Guan Yu looked at Ma Chao's back as if fire was about to spit out of fire in his eyes. Guan Ping and Zhou Cang ran to Guan Yu, folded his fists and bowed, "June (father)!" Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "Go back!" Then he stepped on a war horse led by Guan Ping and led the troops back to the camp.

As soon as he returned to the camp, Guan Yu began to arrange his offensive strategy.

Later that day, Guan Yu personally led thousands of troops to the hills on the right side of Jigu. The two hills in Jigu are located on the left and right sides of Baoshui, and the two sides are connected by a floating bridge. The Baoshui flows along Baoshui Valley and finally flows out of this Jigu, so Jigu can be said to be the throat of Baoshui Valley.

Guan Yu was eager to capture Jigu and launched a fierce attack on Jigu. The officers and soldiers of each team took turns to attack the defense line arranged by the Qin army along the hillside, and the battle went very fiercely. However, the battle continued until the sun set, and Guan Yu's attack did not make much progress. After that, Guan Yu tried various methods to attack Jigu for several consecutive days, but failed. The battle situation entered a stalemate.

Early in the morning that day, Guan Yu led his army to attack the hill on the right side of Jigu. The offensive was much more fierce than before. Ma Chao felt that Guan Yu seemed to be trying his best to take a gamble and came to the front line to supervise the battle. The battle was very fierce, from morning until noon, the bodies of the officers and soldiers on both sides covered the hillside layer by layer! The defense line on the mountainside of the Qin army had been lost, and Liu Bei's army had suspended the attack at this moment and was preparing to reorganize the army to launch a final attack on the Qin army retreating to the top of the mountain! At this time, in order to withstand Guan Yu's fierce attack, Ma Chao had transferred most of the officers and soldiers guarding the hill on the left side of Jigu! The officers and soldiers on both sides had the best preparation, staring at each other with blood red eyes, waiting for the final battle to come!
