Chapter 498 Xu Huang Fights Guan Yu
Liu Bei was speechless in embarrassment. He often called himself a disciple of Lu Zhi, but he was really not interested in studying, and he was not as good as Guan Yu's self-taught success. Over the years, Guan Yu never left his body in the "Zuo Zhuan". He took it out to read it whenever he had time, recited it in a sarcasm, and spoke more knowledgeable than ordinary people. Anyway, among his subordinates, Guan Yu was the most knowledgeable, so even though he knew that Guan Yu would blame him or even mock him, he was still willing to discuss it with Guan Yu, but he could only discuss it with Guan Yu.
During this period, he thought a lot.
When he fought for Yuzhou, he was beaten to a mess by Sun Ce. The Miscellaneous Hu cavalry was wiped out. The Danyang soldiers who helped him were returned in full swing. The whereabouts of his wife and children were unknown. After searching for him for a long time, there was no news. He was probably dead in the swamp.
The battle for Yanzhou was smooth at the beginning, but when Yuan Tan came, he stood aside and could only be the prefect of Dongjun. The reason why he could still stay in Yanzhou was simply because of Lu Zhi's face that he had to act as the thug against Tian Kai. Lu Zhi was in poor health and was in danger and might die at any time. Although Tian Kai was weak, he did not want to meet Tian Kai. The prefect of Dongjun could not be long and had to consider a retreat.
What's more, Yuan Tan was the eldest son and went out to the battlefield. No matter what Yuan Shao thought, he always felt worried. After contacting Cao Ang several times, he felt that Cao Cao's choice was good, neither leaving Yuan Shao nor keeping a distance from Yuan Shao and his son. Not only did Cao Cao do this, but Xun Yu did this too. When Liu Bei remembered Xun Yu's visit, he regretted it. If he had agreed to Xun Yu and went to Chang'an with him, he would not have fallen to this point.
Liu Bei couldn't sleep, so he sat up and discussed the possibility of going to Chang'an with Guan Yu. Guan Yu strongly agreed to Liu Bei's going to Chang'an. He felt that although Yuan Shao was strong, the rich boy had too much habits and was surrounded by some flashy scholars. Why did the world reach this point? It was not done by those scholars, and they would sit and discuss it and could not accomplish anything big.
Guan Yu became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice gradually became louder, awakening Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei opened his eyes and listened for a while. Although he had no objection to going to Chang'an, he did not agree with Guan Yu's hostility to scholars.
"Brother Yun, aren't you a scholar yourself?"
"I read to apply what I have learned, but they only know how to chew words and attack each other, but put the saints' righteousness behind their heads."
Zhang Fei curled his lips. "Then tell me, if you were to command this war, what would you plan to do? Can you defeat Taiwei Zhu?"
"The only one who can fight under Taiwei Zhu is Sun Ce, and no one else can tell. If I were to command this war, I would..." Guan Yu was in a state of great enthusiasm. He felt that he was not satisfied with his words, so he got up and went to look up the map. Liu Bei was amused and cried, and advised: "Chang Yun, don't listen to Yide's nonsense. He slept in the middle of the night, but he was full of energy. But you have worked hard in the middle of the night, so you should rest early and have to hurry tomorrow."
"No, I must let him see what real reading is." Guan Yu insisted: "This man actually compared me with those scattered animals. It is tolerant, but who is unbearable. What about the map, Xuande, bring the map quickly."
Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei with resentment, turned around and took out the map from under the pillow. Before going to bed, he was also looking at the map, thinking about how to break the deadlock, but he hadn't come up with a good idea. Now, listening to Guan Yu's words may be inspiring. Guan Yu took the map, spread it on the bed, took the oil lamp, placed it next to the map, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to start the talk, but suddenly frowned and listened with his ears.
"Tell me quickly, I won't say I'll go to bed." Zhang Fei urged.
"Calm the sound!" Guan Yu shouted. "What's wrong, listen, what's the sound?"
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei exchanged a look, and were about to tease Guan Yu, suddenly a muffled tent sounded, and a feather arrow shot through the tent and nailed it to the map in front of them. Liu Bei shouted: "No, the camp is whistling!" He turned over and jumped up, and there was a sharp pain in his ribs, his legs became weak, and he almost fell to the ground. Guan Yu quickly looked and held Liu Bei with one hand, and picked up the big shield leaning on the side with the other hand and covered Liu Bei's head.
"Yi De, protect Xuan De, I'll go out and have a look."
"Here." Zhang Fei turned over and jumped up, took Liu Bei and his shield. In a moment, several more arrows shot into him, and Guan Yu was shot on his shoulder. Fortunately, he did not unplug his armor and failed to shoot through the flesh, but it was also frightening. He picked up a shield, protected him on his head, pulled out the Seven-Shaped Sword from his waist, rushed out of the big tent, and just took a look and became dumbfounded.
Liu Bei was worried about the camp roar, but the situation in front of him was even more desperate than the camp roar. A feathered arrow flew out of the night, making a harsh sound of breaking the wind, shooting through the tents, screaming one after another, but it was covered by the tent, which didn't sound clear. The patrol soldiers fell to the ground, and a few were still struggling and groaning in pain. The guards on duty in front of the tent were in chaos, and at least half of them were injured. They looked around in horror, but could not see the shadow of their opponents.
A sharp roar sounded, and several feathered arrows flew towards Guan Yu. Guan Yu raised his shield to protect him and shouted: "Hedong Guan Yu is here! Who attacks the camp? Sign up and don't be a shameful rat."
A cheerful voice came from the darkness. "Guan Yu, you are not dead yet, hurry up and return the knife to me! The defeated generals under his command are not worthy of using the Seven-Star Treasure Sword."
Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, then blood surged upwards and shouted: "Sun Ce, you are here just in time. Let's see Guan take your life!" As he said that, he took a big step and ran towards the sound.
"Swoosh swish!" The sound of the wind breaking even faster, and the shield was shot pounding. Guan Yu was tall, and even the wide stride shield could not protect his whole body. The arrow rain was dense and strong. In a moment, two arrows shot him, one on his thigh and the other on his right leg, which hurt his heart and lungs. Guan Yu was unaware of it and ran forward with a roar.
"Xu Huang is here! Look at the knife!" A figure jumped out of the darkness, and a sword flashed, and a knife slashed down on his head.
Guan Yu raised his shield and stabbed him with his right hand.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the shield in Guan Yu's hand was split in half, and the snow- bright sword appeared in front of Guan Yu. Guan Yu was shocked and subconsciously dodged to avoid it. Xu Huang took the opportunity to slash on the Qiyao Knife. Guan Yu caught him off guard, his wrist numb, and the Qiyao Knife almost lost his hand. He held half of the shield, waved the knife to block it, while gathering his eyes and looking at his opponent.
"Who are you?"
"Xu Huang from Hedong." Xu Huang held the knife in both hands and slashed continuously. He used not ordinary battle swords, but Qianjun Po. His martial arts were very good. Since joining Sun Ce's subordinates, he has been focused on his mind and practiced martial arts with the Yiying Camp every day. His martial arts have made rapid progress. With a thousand troops, he made a splash of silver light, dancing in the wind, covering Guan Yu, and not giving Guan Yu a chance to fight back. In a moment, the shield in Guan Yu's hand was only the size of a palm.
"Good man, it turns out that you are from Hedong." Guan Yu threw away the broken shield, held the knife in both hands, and roared: "Come on, you and I will fight for three hundred rounds, and we will decide the winner!"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Huang slashed down with a knife. The two long swords hit each other, making a crisp metallic sound. The long sword in Guan Yu's hand broke with the sound, leaving only a residual blade less than a foot in his hand.
Guan Yu was stunned.
