Chapter 47 Cao Yuan's soldiers crossed the South Pass and jointly passed the five levels (22

After Guan Yu left Dongling Pass, it was late. At this time, there were two fork roads ahead, all the way north and west. Guan Yu first ordered everyone to camp and rest, and then discussed with Nan Ye: "This road leads directly to Guandu in the north and Luoyang in the west. Although the North Road is close, it may be difficult to pass because of the defense of a large army. I want to bypass Luoyang to cross the river. What do you think?

Nan Ye knew what Guan Yu was worried about. After the Guandu War, Xu Chang, Guandu and Yecheng were heavily guarded on the front line, and Cao Cao was also worried about Yuan Mai's counterattack or spy infiltration. If you meet a guard like Kong Xiu all the way to the north, Guan Yu is not sure that he can kill Hebei. In contrast, looking at the long-lost and sparsely populated Luoyang boundary, the defense will be much more relaxed. Nan Ye also felt that there were more opportunities to take a detour to get rid of Zhang Xiu's 1,000 people, so he agreed to Guan Yu's proposal and went to Luoyang the next day.

There are still several small checkpoints on the way from Donglingguan to Luoyang, but the official position is so low that they dare not stop the people led by Guan Yu, Nanye and Zhang Xiu. These Xiaoguan along the way also knew that Guan Yu and his party did not have customs clearance documents, so they dared not stop them, so they sent the news to Luoyang.

After several years of recuperation, Luoyang has gathered some people. Although it has not returned to its former prosperity, it has also built a small town on the old site. When Han Fu, the governor of Luoyang, learned that Guan Yu and Nan Ye were coming, he gathered the officials to discuss: "Guan Yu, Nan Ye, Zhang Xiu, Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao led their troops to break through the barrier. They were unable to intercept them all the way and reported the news to us. Shall I stop it or not?"

The tooth general Meng Tan said, "There is no prime minister's documents, that is, it is private practice. If we don't stop it, we will be guilty."

Han Fu said, "Guan Yu was brave, and Hua Xiong and Yan Liang were both killed. Although Master Nanye has no courage, he can predict the prophet. Zhang Xiu and others are not unknown people. We can't beat these five people. We can only design and capture them. If there is nothing we can do, it's better to let them go.

Meng Tan said, "I have a plan. I can stop the gate with the antlers first. When the soldiers and horses arrive, they will lead the troops to fight against him. They will be defeated and lure him to chase them. The Taishou can shoot them with dark arrows. As long as we capture a general, the rest will break through the barrier, and we will have no merit.

Han Fu is not confident to deal with five generals and more than 1,000 people, but he is still confident to deal with one general. As Meng Tan said, if everyone is let go, I'm afraid that Cao Cao can's blame. If he can capture one person, no matter who he is, he can have an explanation in front of Cao Cao.

After the discussion was suspended, Han Fu took a bow and inserted an arrow, attracting a thousand people and arranging the gates. Looking at the distance, people and horses approached and asked knowingly, "Who is coming?"

Guan Yu immediately swung his body and said, "I'm Guan Yu, Marquis of Han Shouting. Please excuse me."

Han Fu said, "Do you have the documents of Prime Minister Cao?"

Guan Yu replied, "I never asked for it!" But there is a national teacher and General Zhang as evidence here.

Han Fu said, "I am flattered by the order to guard this place and specialize in investigating the spies. If there is no document, it is to escape, and you can take your life.

Guan Yu said angrily, "Dongling Kongxiu has been killed by me. Do you also want to die?"

Han Fu said, "Isn't it a spy to kill people? Who captured it with me?"

Meng Tan came out according to the plan and fought against Guan Yu with two knives. This time, Guan Yu was instructed by Nan Ye and did not come forward, but stepped back to Zhang Xiu and others: "Since the three generals are escorting us, please come forward and explain."

Zhang Xiu had no choice but to speak when Meng Tan couldn't help saying that the two knives had arrived. Zhang Xiu had to raise his gun first, and Meng Tan cut three times and plucked the horse and left. Zhang Xiu wanted to catch up to stop Meng Tan and explain, so she raised a long gun and urged the horse to chase him.

Han Fu flashed behind the door flag and saw Zhang Xiu chasing him and tried his best to release an arrow. Zhang Xiu was unpreventiled and only flashed slightly. The arrow hit his left shoulder and rolled out of the horse with pain. Meng Tan saw that Zhang Xiu fell from the horse and wanted to capture him alive.

Zhang Xiu is not a vegetarian. Seeing Mengtan Malay, he stabbed him with one shot and hit the horse's neck. Mengtan's horse roared sadly, turned Mengtan to the ground and threw two knives far away. Zhang Xiu's left shoulder was injured, and he couldn't hold a long gun in his right hand. He watched the gun hanging on the horse's neck and being dragged away by the dying horse.

Meng Tan struggled to get up and saw Zhang Xiu, who had lost his weapon, and wanted to pick up the knife and fight again. But he fell out with a pair of knives, far away, and he could only pick up one first. Zhang Xiu took the opportunity to pick up another one, and the two fought in one place with a single knife.

Since seeing Zhang Xiu's fallen horse Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao, he led his troops to rush up to grab Zhang Xiu. Han Fu ordered his defenders to open bows and arrows to stop the cavalry. Nan Ye and Guan Yu hid behind and smiled at the excitement in front of them, which was the result they wanted.

The 1,000 defenders led by Han Fu and Meng frank failed to defeat the 1,000 cavalry led by Zhang Xiu, and Han Fu and Meng Tan were also killed by Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao, who came to help. However, Zhang Xiu's cavalry also lost more than 200 people, most of whom died on the arrow rain and antlers of the defenders. Once the cavalry closes and breaks through the blockade of resisting the antlers, the defenders can't stop the cavalry at all.

Looking at Zhang Xiu, who returned with injuries, Nan Ye was happy, but with an anxious look on his face, he hurriedly found Hua Tuo to treat Zhang Xiu's arrow wounds. Zhang Xiu, who was injured in his left shoulder, didn't mention the fire. He thought he had a chance to revenge all the way, but Nanye hadn't done anything, but he was injured first and lost a quarter of the people and horses, which made him embarrassed.

Seeing Hua Tuo's treatment of Zhang Xiu and the rest of the injured Cao Jun, Guan Yu frowned slightly and said to Nan Ye, "Master, you can't stay here. I'd better get on the road faster. It's just these wounded soldiers..."

Nan Ye understood that Guan Yu saw a lot of movement in this battle and was worried that there would be pursuers who did not dare to stay for a long time, but he obviously had to slow down the team's progress with the wounded soldiers. So he had an idea and said to Zhang Xiu, "General Zhang's arrow is very serious, so there is no need to send it. These wounded soldiers are also unable to fight again. Can General Zhang take them back to Xuchang first?

Zhang Xiu came here to kill Nan Ye. How could he go back? He shook his head and said, "How can this minor injury be worth mentioning? I ordered the injured soldiers to stay in Luoyang to recover, and I will never delay General Guan's journey.

Nan Ye waited for Zhang Xiu's words and nodded and said, "That's good! The wounded in the team remained, and the rest of them went forward. The minor injured take care of the seriously injured. After saying that, the Jiashi who was injured before also stayed together. In this way, there were only eight people left with 30 eyeliners around Nanye, and Zhang Xiu's 1,000 cavalry was also reduced to 700, but all those who suffered a little injury were left by Nanye.

After leaving the wounded soldiers, Guan Yu and his entourage marched to Fenshuiguan overnight. Guanzhong Shou General is a native of Bingzhou and is good at making meteor hammers. The news of the defeat and death of Han Fu and Meng Tan has long spread to Guanzhong. Bian Xi knows that his martial arts skills may be higher than Han Fu and Meng Tan, but he can't beat them. Guanzhong's defenders are less than Luoyang's soldiers. Fighting soldiers and generals are not opponents of Guan Yu's party.

Bian Xi knew that he was invincible and didn't want to let Guan Yu go, so he thought about it and ambled more than 200 knives and axes in Guanqian Zhenguo Temple, and agreed to attack Guan Yu, Nanye, Zhang Xiu and others all. At that time, there will be no fear if the army loses the commander.

The arrangement has been decided, and Bian Xi changed into a smiling face to welcome Guan Yu and Nan Ye. There is a saying that he stretched out his hand and did not hit the smiling face. Guan Yu, who had been crossing the barrier all the way, was also very happy to see the smiling face of the gatekeeper. He got off the horse and Bian was happy to see the gift.

Bian Xi flattered: "General Guan is famous and admired by thousands of people! Returning to the emperor now, it is enough to see loyalty! The national teacher and General Zhang escorted him all the way and asked him to enter the temple to rest.

Zhenguo Temple is the incense courtyard in front of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty. The hall is spacious and there are many wing rooms. Compared with the low barracks in Fenshuiguan, it is more suitable for entertaining guests. Guan Yu and Zhang Xiu were not suspicious of Bian Xi's arrangement, but felt that Bian Xi was very sincere. Only Nan Ye frowned slightly, because he had seen Bian Xi's star record and found the knife and axe hand in the Zen room.

Zhou Xinglu: Bianxi, Bingzhou people, water guard general. Originally, he was a member of the Yellow Turban Party, but later he joined Cao Cao and was good at using meteor hammers. Guan Yu, who set up an ambush at Zhenguo Temple to kill his brother for thousands of miles, but the monks in the temple hinted to rescue him. Finally, he was killed by Guan Yu.

Nan Ye wanted to remind Guan Yu to be careful, but he thought that someone would remind him later, so he couldn't help saying anything. Why don't Guan Yu ask how he learned about Bian Xi's conspiracy and waste his words to explain it?

At this time, Guan Yu had already talked to Bian Xi about killing Kong Xiu and Han Fu along the way. Although Bian Xi hated Guan Yu to break through the barrier, he pandered: "It's good for the general to kill! Who doesn't know that General Guan is a righteous person in the world, how can he be deceived? What's more, there are national teachers and generals testifying. Kong Xiu, Han Fu and other generations are looking for trouble and deserve to die. I met the Prime Minister and the contemporary generals to understand the original.

Bian Xi's understanding made Guan Yu overjoyed. To be fair, if he had no choice but to kill Cao Cao's soldiers, after all, Cao Cao treated him well, and Guan Yu was a little sorry for killing him all the way. Guan Yu was naturally happy to hear Bian Xi speak to himself and Cao Cao.

As everyone spoke, they passed the customs and went to the front of Zhenguo Temple, and the monks rang the bell to welcome them. There are more than 30 monks in the temple, and one of them is Guan Yu's hometown. Although Pujing and Guan Yu are only one-sided and have no deep friendship, he is a nosy old man. When Pujing found that Bian Xi ambushed people and horses in the temple and saw Guan Yu and Nan Ye here, he knew that Bian Xi was uneasy and kind.

When Pujing saw the people entering the temple, he came forward and asked, "How many years has the general left his hometown? Do you still recognize the poor monk?

Guan Yu listened to Pujing's words with a local accent. He stared at it for a while but couldn't remember it. He was ashamed and said, "I've been away from my hometown for 20 years, and I can't know each other."

Pujing said: "The poor monks and the general's family are only separated by one river..."

When Guan Yu heard Pujing say that the scenery of his hometown was not bad at all, he talked with Pujing. Bian Xi saw that the two were getting familiar with each other and was afraid of leaking the news. He stopped and said, "I invited the general to the banquet here. What's wrong with your monk's entanglement? Why don't you retreat!"

Guan Yu frowned and said, "Otherwise! How can we not talk about the past when the villagers meet by chance?

Seeing that Bian was suspicious, Pujing stopped talking to Guan Yu, but took the opportunity to offer tea to approach Guan Yu, pointed to the knife he wore, and gave Guan Yu a wink. Guan Yu saw that Pujing's behavior was abnormal, but although he could not fully understand his meaning, he also increased his guard.
