"Big Brother?" A general covered in blood walked out from the bushes.
"You are?" Pang Shiyuan was still on guard because Liu Bei and his men were left with only two people and they were very tired. If a small group of enemies came, they would be finished.
"Second Brother, Second Brother!" Liu Bei's face was full of joy and tears of joy.
"Second Brother, really!" Liu Bei rushed up and hugged Guan Yu. "Second Brother, you made me so worried!"
"Big Brother!" Guan Yu was very touched. Originally, he still had some complaints about Liu Bei abandoning Liao Hua, but now, all of them had disappeared.
"Haha, it's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive!" Liu Bei was really touched. Not because of anything else, but because Liu Bei's foundation was not strong enough. Now, he had lost so many soldiers outside Fan City. Liao Hua, Jian Yong, Guan Ping and the others were all gone.
Sun Qian and De Fu had also betrayed him. If Guan Yu was gone, Liu Bei would really cry to death.
Now that Guan Yu was here, he had more confidence to go back to Xiangyang.
"Big Brother, why is it only you and Military Counselor? Where is General Liao Hua? "Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei and Pang Shiyuan in confusion. When they left, Liao Hua and a hundred guards were protecting Liu Bei.
"Sigh!" Liu Bei sighed.
"Could it be?" Guan Yu thought Liu Bei had abandoned Liao Hua again.
"General Liao Hua died in battle! On the Yangtze River! " Pang Shiyuan said. Liu Bei also told Guan Yu what happened on the Yangtze River.
"De Fu also betrayed him? Impossible! " Guan Yu's first reaction was disbelief. He and De Fu had been working together for a long time. De Fu was very loyal to Liu Bei. If De Fu wanted to change masters, she could just leave. With De Fu's ability, she would be put in an important position wherever she went.
"Sigh!" Liu Bei didn't want to tell a loyal person that once you treated him like dirt, he would betray you. Liu Bei already had a trace of regret in his heart. If he had let Sun Qian lead the troops to retreat instead of giving up on Sun Qian to curry favor with Pang Shiyuan, he might not have ended up like this today.
However, the truth was the truth. There was no such thing as' if 'in this world.
"Both De Fu and Sun Qian are disciples of the great scholar Zheng Xuan!" Pang Shiyuan explained.
These two were fellow disciples of the same sect.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Our top priority now is to return to Xiangyang City as soon as possible!" Liu Bei couldn't wait to return to Xiangyang. Only by returning could he truly be safe, Liu Bei.
This time, Nanyang County had suffered a disastrous loss. This was simply trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it.
"Okay!" Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Pang Shiyuan rested for a while and then hurried to Xiangyang City.
By the time they arrived outside Xiangyang City, the sky had already turned completely dark.
"Big Brother, you wait here for a while. I'll go and call the gate!" The gate of Xiangyang City had already been closed.
Guan Yu had to go and ask the garrison officer to open the gate before he could enter.
"Okay!" Liu Bei nodded in agreement.
Guan Yu walked towards the gate of Xiangyang City.
"Who's there?" Guan Yu hadn't even gotten close to Xiangyang City when he was stopped by someone.
"Someone's here! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The people on top of the city wall panicked.
"Why are you panicking? There's only one person!" Someone on top of the city wall finally saw clearly with the help of the torches. There was only one person below the city wall.
"Open the gate! Hurry up and open the gate! The Governor of Jingzhou is back! "Guan Yu shouted from below the city wall.
"The Governor of Jingzhou?" Jing Province had changed two Prefecture Overseers in the past year. "Didn't Lord Prefecture Overseer go to Nanyang?"
Liu Bei's excuse for sending troops to Nanyang City was not to attack the Cai Clan and the Yu Clan, but to discuss something with the Cai Clan and the Yu Clan. He wanted to invite them to be officials in Xiangyang City.
If Zhang Yun agreed, they could take over Nanyang County without shedding a drop of blood. If Zhang Yun didn't agree, they would turn hostile and fight.
"Zhang Yun rebelled and my army was attacked. Hurry up and open the gate and let the Governor enter the city!" Guan Yu continued.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang!" Guan Yu stood below the city wall with an arrogant face.
"Do you have any evidence?" It's already late. I can't see much from the top of the city wall.
"What do you mean?" Guan Yu was a little angry. No one would be in a good mood if they were to be bullied by their own people after they were defeated.
"General Guan, please don't be angry. Please forgive me. I was ordered by the Prefecture Overseer to guard the gates of Xiangyang City. Naturally, I have to do my best. If I open the gates just because someone says that the Prefecture Overseer is back, how can I guard Xiangyang City?" The voice of the captain of the gate came from the top of the city wall.
Obviously, the gate captain didn't believe him, but he didn't want to offend the people below the city wall.
"You! Good, good, good! What a 'dedicated'! Tell me, what evidence do you want?" Although Guan Yu was angry, he was also a reasonable person. Maybe after returning to the city, Guan Yu would not only not punish this gate captain, but also increase his official position.
"General Guan, you have a Green Dragon Crescent Blade. This can't be faked. If you can show it, I'll believe you!" The gate captain said.
"You want my blade?" Guan Yu frowned and subconsciously wanted to refuse. For a general, a weapon was his second life. Without the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, Guan Yu's strength would be greatly reduced.
However, he thought that as long as he could enter the city wall, they would be safe and his brother would have a place to rest.
He could only nod, "Okay! Put down the hanging basket. I'll send it up! "
Soon, a hanging basket was put down from the top of the city wall. Guan Yu put his Green Dragon Crescent Blade on it.
Guan Yu didn't know that there were two people on the top of the city wall who had been watching Guan Yu. "Sir, Guan Yu was fooled!"
"Yes!" The person called Sir nodded but didn't say anything. This was only half of the success.
"How is it? It's my blade! " Guan Yu was anxious when he saw his blade being put up. After all, this blade was his second life. How could he put his life in the hands of others?
"It's real! It's really General Guan's blade! "
"How do you know it?"
"When General Guan left, I happened to be guarding the city gate. He passed by here. I have seen General Guan before. General Guan used this saber!" a person on the city wall said solemnly.
"General Guan, please forgive me. I'll open the city gate immediately!" A fearful voice came from the top of the city wall.
"It's okay!" Guan Yu nodded. As long as the city gate could be opened, it would be fine. Although he was angry, he wouldn't blame the guard.
"Ka Ka Ka!" The city gate of Xiangyang City opened slowly.
Guan Yu turned his head and called out to Liu Bei and Pang Shiyuan, "Brother, Military Advisor, the city gate is open. Let's go in!"
Liu Bei and Pang Shiyuan nodded. Liu Bei couldn't help but smile. "Liu Mang, you want to take my life? You're still not good enough!" Liu Bei recalled what had happened in Nanyang County. He was full of hatred. He was defeated by Liu Mang. Liu Mang had sent so many soldiers to kill him. He had almost died in the Yangtze River.
Now, he was in Xiangyang City. After entering the city gate, Liu Bei would be safe.
"Let's go in!" Guan Yu took the lead. He wanted to get his blade as soon as possible.
Pang Shiyuan supported Liu Bei and walked step by step towards the city gate.
The closer they got to Xiangyang, the more confident Liu Bei became. At least now, Liu Bei had a place to stay. Outside Xiangyang City, there were countless city defenses. Relying on this sturdy city, Liu Bei could hold back ten thousand men.
However, Pang Shiyuan didn't know why but he was depressed.
Liu Bei paid close attention to Pang Shiyuan. Pang Shiyuan was his most valuable subordinate, so when Pang Shiyuan was depressed, Liu Bei noticed it.
"Shiyuan, are you blaming yourself for the battle of Nanyang?" Liu Bei thought that Pang Shiyuan was sad because he had lost the battle of Nanyang. This time, Pang Shiyuan had lost to the Yangzhou army.
Pang Shiyuan was about to shake his head, but Liu Bei spoke first. "Shiyuan, victory and defeat are common in war. You don't have to blame yourself. It's not that the soldiers were at a disadvantage. In fact, the disparity in strength is too great. This Liu Mang is very cunning!" When Liu Bei mentioned Liu Mang, he gnashed his teeth. This Liu Mang, you have so many troops under your command. If you want Nanyang County, I will give it to you. But you even tricked Liu Bei outside Nanyang County.
How could this not make Liu Bei gnash his teeth in anger?
"Thank you for your concern, Milord!" Pang Shiyuan squeezed out a smile.
"Good!" Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction and continued to walk towards the city gate.
Pang Shiyuan's eyes were unfocused as he looked around.
"Hmm?" Pang Shiyuan's nose was very good. He sniffed hard and frowned because of the smell. "The smell of blood?!"
That's right. The smell of blood was rippling in the air. Pang Shiyuan thought that it was from Guan Yu. After all, Guan Yu's body was red from the enemy's water.
"No!" Pang Shiyuan rejected his idea. If it was from Guan Yu's body, they would have been familiar with it. In other words, it would be like living in a fish house and not smelling it for a long time.
If they wanted to dislike it, they would have done so long ago.
If it was not from Guan Yu's body, then it must be … Pang Shiyuan seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, he saw something. Under his feet, there was a wooden plank of the suspension bridge. It was not dry, but wet. The smell of blood came from here.
Pang Shiyuan touched it with his hand and brought it closer to him.
"Blood!" That's right. Pang Shiyuan's finger was stained with blood. Not only was it blood, it was fresh blood.
Xiangyang City had not been in war for many years. How could there be blood? Even when Cai Mao left Xiangyang City with the Xiangyang Navy, he did not fight with Liu Biao.
When Liu Mang left Jingzhou, he flew out in a hot air balloon. He did not fight at the city gate. Later, when Huang She killed Liu Biao, it was a mutiny in the mansion. Liu Bei was the same. Xiangyang City, on the other hand, was safe.
But now, there were bloodstains that had not been seen for a long time. Beside the bloodstains, there were also blade scratches.
"Oh no!" Pang Shiyuan immediately understood. He was shocked and immediately shouted, "My lord, let's go. There's a trap in the city!"
"Huh?" Liu Bei was startled by Pang Shiyuan's shout.
"There's a trap in the city?" Liu Bei looked at Pang Shiyuan in confusion.
"Let's go!" After saying that, Pang Shiyuan pulled Liu Bei away. Although Liu Bei did not understand, he thought that Pang Shiyuan would not harm him.
Guan Yu was also shocked. When he saw Pang Shiyuan pulling Liu Bei away, Guan Yu was anxious about his saber but he still followed them.
"What!" Some people in the city heard Pang Shiyuan's shout.
When they saw Pang Shiyuan pulling Liu Bei away, they could not help but shout.
"Liu Bei, where do you think you're going? Leave your life here!" The city gate of Xiangyang City was opened. Pairs of soldiers and horses came out from the gate.
This was not Liu Bei's shelter. It was a hell. If Liu Bei had entered the city, he would have died. It was unimaginable that Guan Yu, who did not have a weapon, would enter the city.
Guan Yu also understood that Xiangyang City did not belong to Liu Bei's Army.
Countless soldiers rushed out of the city. They all held torches and swords as they rushed out. From the looks of it, they were wearing the uniforms of the Yangzhou Army.
"Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou!" Liu Bei suddenly thought of a person.
That's right. This city was no longer Liu Bei's city. After taking over Guan Yu's camp, Sun Qian asked Zhou Yu to send out his troops. He himself took Xu Sheng and his five thousand Black Flag Army men and set foot on Xiangyang's land.
Along the way, they were like a hot knife through butter. No one expected that such an army would come to Xiangyang. Liu Bei's army was in Nanyang County.
Moreover, Sun Qian's army took the same route as Guan Yu's army. They were caught off guard and Xiangyang City quickly fell.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Pang Shiyuan were already exhausted from rushing through the night. Now that such an army came, it was impossible for them to escape. They were quickly chased down by the vanguard.
"Kill!" A group of soldiers led by a military officer rushed towards Guan Yu and Liu Bei.
The person in front was Guan Yu. The military officer could not help but smile. Guan Yu was like a tiger being bullied by a dog. He was unarmed.
As long as he could kill Guan Yu, he would become famous. This Guan Yu was someone who once fought with Lü Bu, the number one warrior in the world.
Moreover, he was Liu Bei's second brother. If he killed him, not only would he become famous, he would also be rewarded by the lord.
"Roar!" Guan Yu was not someone who would be easily killed. He roared and rushed forward.
