Chapter 633: Guan Yu's Journey(1/2)
Luntai City is more than eight miles in circumference, with tall and wide walls. The walls are complete with urn gates, city towers, corner towers, horse faces and other defensive fortifications. It was originally the capital of Luntai Kingdom, but was conquered by Guan Yu, Guan Ping and his son who had emerged from the desert, led the Han soldiers to conquer. After the defeat of Seleugu, the nobles of Luntai Kingdom depended on Guan Yu and regarded Guan Yu as a god of heaven and respectfully.
Small vassal states like Luntai, because they have few people, can basically only be fence-bearing.
"In the place within the pass, all the heroes stand together. I wonder where the eldest brother and third brother are at this time?"
Guan Yu was on the banquet, touching his gray beard, and sighing from time to time.
After years of fighting, even his beautiful beard has become rough, and there are wrinkles on his face caused by wind and frost.
Guan Ping said: "My father, Luntai is a small town in the Western Regions, with a population of only tens of thousands, and it is difficult to achieve great things. It is better to lead troops back to the pass, and maybe you can meet again with your uncles after a long separation. My father and your uncles will have a feud. If there is a spirit in heaven, it will inevitably reunite your brothers."
Guan Yu felt that what Guan Ping said was reasonable, so he said, "I ordered the entire army, whether Han soldiers or the people of Luntai, to follow us back to the Guan, to clean up the details. Three days later, we will set off the camp and leave Luntai City."
Guan Ping said excitedly: "Children accept the order!"
Guan Ping immediately made a word of mouth and informed the people of the whole city that Guan Yu, the army was about to leave Luntai City and return to the gate.
Many people living in the Western Regions were willing to follow Guan Yu, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms. So they actively responded to Guan Yu's call, packed up the fine and soft, cut the wood into wooden guns, used the door panels as shields, or used kitchen knives and sickles as weapons to prepare to embark on the journey to pass.
A total of 30,000 people in Luntai were influenced by Guan Yu and were willing to follow Guan Yu on a difficult journey to enter the pass.
The nobles of Luntai were very excited, and Guan Yu, the crossing dragon, was finally leaving.
However, before Guan Yu set out with a population of 30,000, he attracted all the nobles of Luntai.
"You have been a disaster for the people of the country and committed evil deeds. The people of Luntai hate you deeply. Before leaving Luntai, I will eliminate the harm for the people!"
Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes suddenly widened, his breath surged, and his hand raised his sword and killed dozens of Luntai nobles!
"ah!!"
The nobles of Luntai were killed by Guan Yu. They were caught off guard and were no match for Guan Yu at all!
In fact, even if they were prepared and gave them weapons and shields, they could not stop Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword...
"kill!"
Guan Ping led a team of Jingzhou soldiers to attack.
In an instant, all the nobles of Luntai died under the knife and were chopped into meat sauce!
"Thank you, Lord Guan, for eliminating the harm for the people!"
"Please stay for a few more days, and then head east!"
When the people of Luntai City saw that all the nobles were ordered to be killed by Guan Yu, they all spoke out to try to keep Guan Yu.
Guan Yu valued these little people and looked down on the nobles, so they were more willing to be ruled by Guan Yu.
Guan Yu held his sword and said with a fist, "Guan also wants to stay for more, but Guan also wants to find the whereabouts of his elder brother and third brother. Everyone, say goodbye!"
Ten thousand Han soldiers also clasped their fists together: "Goodbye!"
The people of Luntai said in unison: "Great sends you to the Lord!"
Guan Yu's army still held the Han flags that came through Maicheng and the broken Han flags, fluttering in the wind in the Gobi Desert.
Guan Yu's army, 10,000 Han soldiers and 20,000 civilians marched eastward along the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
As long as they arrive at Yumen Pass successfully, they can enter the Pass smoothly.
The goshawks soar over the Gobi Desert, and yellow and shady are everywhere from time to time.
In Gaochang City, the famous Macedonian general Seleuc, who was ambushed by Guan Yu, fled to Cheshi Kingdom because of his great defeat and asked for help from Alexander.
Alexander was alarmed by the movements caused by Guan Yu, Guan Ping and his son, and missed the best opportunity to march into Liangzhou.
Alexander mistakenly judged Guan Yu's group of Han troops, thinking that Guan Yu wanted to conquer cities and seize his territory in the Western Regions, so he decided to take the lead in fighting against Guan Yu's Han troops.
However, when Alexander arrived in Gaochang City with a group of generals, he found that it seemed that the same thing was not the case.
Seleucue knelt in front of Alexander, with a pale face: "The last general was incompetent and was defeated by a Han general named Guan Yu. His unparalleled force and suddenly attacked, so our troops were defeated."
"Seleugu, you disappointed me so much. You are a veteran of all kinds of battles, and you have fallen into such a simple trick to lure the enemy."
"The last general thought it was just a group of native rebellions, and the other party fled in a hurry, so he sent troops to pursue him."
"Don't make excuses for your failure!"
"yes!"
Seleucus dared not continue to defend himself.
His army of 100,000 was indeed defeated by Guan Yu with 10,000 people.
Although Guan Yu used the strategy of luring the enemy into depth, Seleugu underestimated the enemy, but if he lost, he would be defeated.
"I personally lead the troops to destroy this Han army!"
Commander Alexander marched to the west with an army of 200,000, and walked towards Guan Yu's 30,000 people.
The famous generals under Alexander Seleucuse, Antico, Eumens, Ptolemy and others led their troops to join forces with Alexander, and joined forces with Alexander to attack Guan Yu.
Alexander did not know Guan Yu, but Alexander regarded Guan Yu as the leader of a rebel army and must be suppressed as soon as possible to avoid territorial turmoil.
Guan Yu's 30,000 people still don't know how dangerous the journey of returning east would be, because Alexander's 200,000 army had already set up a net of heaven and earth in the Cheshi Kingdom in front.
Even King Zheng of Qin felt difficult due to Alexander's army.
"I didn't expect that after I was defeated and left Maicheng, my elder brother sent all the Shu soldiers to attack Dongwu in order to help me take revenge, and was eventually defeated by Lu Xun. Even my third brother was killed by two criminals."
"I, Yun Chang, let my eldest brother and third brother down."
Guan Yu led a 30,000 people to travel, but he still regretted it on the way.
In Guan Yu's opinion, if it weren't for his loss of Jingzhou, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei would not have been implicated, which would have made Zhuge Liang's Longzhong go bankrupt.
Guan Ping led a small team of cavalry to conduct reconnaissance at the forefront of the team.
Guan Ping had already inquired about it. Now the one who ruled the Western Regions was a group of barbarian soldiers. One of the barbarian leaders was named Alexander. Seleucus, who was defeated by Guan Yu, Guan Ping and his son, was one of Alexander's generals.
In addition to Alexander, Guan Yu and Guan Ping and his son also heard of the Huns Maodun Shanyu.
"Try to avoid fighting with these barbarians, and wait until they return to the pass, everything is easy to say."
Although Guan Ping was as arrogant as Guan Yu, he also knew that with the current military strength, he was not enough to fight against the barbarian soldiers in the Western Regions.
...
At Yumen Pass, Zhang Yichao, the governor of Guiyi Army, Banchao, Hou Dingyuan, Eastern Han Dynasty, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo, famous generals of the Qin Dynasty, led a total of 200,000 troops to guard this majestic pass.
They have been investigating Alexander and Maodun Shanyu's every move. When Alexander went west to use troops, Zhang Yichao, Ban Chao, Ren Xiao, and Zhao Tuo all felt incredible.
"Why did Alexander go to the west? Instead of taking the opportunity to enter the pass?"
"Is there a rebellion in the city occupied by Alexander?"
"We must send additional scouts to figure out what's going on."
"It's better for me to go to the Western Regions in person."
"At present, there are nomadic cavalry everywhere in the Western Regions. Once they discover it, you may be worried about your life."
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son? I know the terrain of the Western Regions as much as I can, and I am proficient in the local language. It takes no effort to enter and exit the Western Regions."
Ban Chao decided to take people to find out what happened.
Because Ban Chao insisted repeatedly, Zhang Yichao and others had to agree with Ban Chao's decision.
Ban Chao only brought dozens of personal soldiers to the Western Regions.
For Ban Chao, going to the Western Regions is like returning home...
"Report! The Jieting Battle has ended, we will win! All the cities and towns of Qin will be pacified!"
The result of the Jieting Battle reached Yumen Pass. The 100,000 Qin soldiers guarding Yumen Pass learned that Qin had surrendered, so they had to accept the arrangement of fate and were organized into the Yumen Pass Legion by Zhang Hua.
Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo looked at each other, and they no longer dared to have two hearts at this time.
The Qin State, which owned famous generals such as Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Tian, and Zhang Han, were all destroyed, and they could not cause any storm.
Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo had to follow Zhang Hua wholeheartedly, accept the official position enthroned by Zhang Hua, and continue to guard Yumen Pass.
Compared with the nomadic tribes that surrendered to the dynasty outside the pass, the dynasty in the Central Plains is more stable.
...
In the southern part of Jingzhou, blood flowed into a river. Emperor Wu of Song Liu Yu commanded hundreds of thousands of Jingbei troops and swept the Jingnan region. Wherever 50,000 Northern Prefecture troops went, they were invincible.
Emperor Wu of Song, Liu Yu, carried a long sword and personally led the army to fight, killing hundreds of enemy troops in a row, killing and destroying the thief's courage.
Liu Yu's armor was covered with sticky blood.
Liu Yu looked around the bloody battlefield where corpses were everywhere indifferently, stepped on the corpses of enemy generals, and looked down at the princes of Jingnan who were crawling on the ground, like emperors, dominating the world.
The princes of Jingnan formed a coalition force to prevent Liu Yu from annexing Jingnan, but were defeated by Liu Yu and finally defeated by Liu Yu.
Liu Yu's third-generation Northern Mansion Army was even more brave and good at fighting than Xie Xuan's first-generation Northern Mansion Army and Liu Laozhi's second-generation Northern Mansion Army. Even if the princes of Jingnan formed a coalition, they were still defeated by the Northern Mansion Army.
Liu Yu's facial expression and the continuous killing made Liu Yu numb and his voice was low: "Can you convince?"
"Han Xuan is willing to surrender!"
"Zo Huang is willing to surrender!"
To be continued...
