Han Xiang

Chapter 456

General Guan?It shouldn't be.

He shouldn't be here now, with General Guan's bravery, why didn't he take the lead in the charge?

This is not reasonable.

Xu Huang returned to the camp with doubts, not to mention taking one or two prisoners of war and offering them to Cao Cao, but he lost a lot of people just now.

Counting the number of people, it was found that the two battalions were missing more than 400 people, and Xia Houyuan's losses were slightly more, including soldiers who fled timidly.

At night, Xia Houyuan kept a dark face and didn't say a word. He was afraid of being robbed and ordered the whole army to take off their clothes and sleep, and he himself was half asleep and half awake to survive the night.

Until the early morning of the next day, dozens of missing soldiers returned one after another, and the two battalions eventually lost 380 people.

Although 380 people are not many, but for the total number of 2000 people, it is considered a very bad battle loss.

The number of reinforcements last night was unknown. Seeing that the soldiers were listless in the morning, Xu Huang thought it would be risky to stay in Xi'e, so he went to Xia Houyuan to ask for instructions to withdraw the troops.

"General, reinforcements came from Xi'e last night. It's not good for the army to stay here for a long time. Why don't you withdraw to Bowang as soon as possible?"

"I have the same intention, but"

Xia Houyuan was stroking his beard and nodding, but suddenly changed the subject and said seriously: "Let's go back like this, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain to the master, we have to find out who the opponent was last night."

"That's alright"

Xu Huang was hesitant at first, but seeing Xia Houyuan's resolute face, he had to obey the other party's arrangement, and then the whole army marched to Xi'e City.

Xia Houyuan was not a reckless general. He knew that Liu Bei's sojourn in Jingzhou was in short supply of horses. Even though Xi'e had mysterious reinforcements last night, there was no large number of horses and cavalry to stop him from withdrawing with his troops.

When approaching the city, the sun had just risen on the horizon.

The golden light shone on Cao Jun's armor, adorning the two battalions of Cao Jun as golden soldiers.

Responding to them is the tranquility on the city wall.

Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang looked at each other, wondering what happened to Mi Fang?
He waited early in the city yesterday, so he didn't care about it today?Despise me so much?
Just as he was about to have someone call the door, a place in the city was suddenly dazzled by golden light.

Xia Houyuan dazzled, and found that it was a big knife standing upright, held in his arms by a strong man and walking forward, beside him was a man of similar stature.

"It's them!"

"Huh? The general knows him?"

Hearing Xia Houyuan's exclamation, Xu Huang couldn't help turning around and asking.

"Did Gongming forget what happened last night? They led a team to attack the two-step general at night."

"Is it them? The end will go up and ask."

After Xu Huangyan stopped, he rode forward and carefully observed the two men on the edge of the city. He didn't have many impressions in his mind, so he raised his head and shouted loudly: "Who is standing on the city? Where is Mi Fang, the guard of Xi'e?"

The sound of shouting broke the tranquility of the morning, but the two people in the city were as motionless as pines and cypresses, and they didn't even look at Xu Huang who was downstairs.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Xu Huang rushed straight to the top of his head with anger in his chest, and the tone of shouting again was obviously angry.

"Are you deaf?"

"It's autumn, Gongming's anger is really big."

Accompanied by a familiar and deep voice, a familiar green shadow appeared on the top of the city. I saw him stroking his long beard with a smile that was not a smile, he seemed so calm and calm.

Seeing this, Xu Huang hurriedly gathered his mind. Now that the conjecture of last night was confirmed, his suspended heart was like a boulder falling to the ground. He cupped his fists and saluted: "General Guan, are you okay?"

Guan Yu returned the gift: "Thanks to my concern, Guan is doing very well, Gongming seems to be just like that"

After hearing this, Xu Huang had a bitter face, and said in his heart that he was worried about you robbing the camp last night. The soldiers didn't have a good rest, and their faces inevitably showed some fatigue.

Just as he was about to speak in response, Xia Houyuan also followed.

Xia Houyuan pointed at Guan Yu and asked in surprise, "Guan Yu? Why are you here?"

Guan Yu stood condescendingly at the top of the city, just being illuminated by the rising sun like a god.

I saw him bluffing his phoenix eyes and said slowly: "Guan is the captain of the northern part of Nanyang, what's wrong with me in my jurisdiction?"

"This"

Xia Houyuan was at a loss for words for a moment, Xu Huang rolled his eyes, clasped his fists and continued what he had just said.

"Yesterday I didn't know it was General Guan. I was a little tired after thinking about it all night. The two of you are very good at fighting at night. Why didn't you see me in Baima before?"

"them?"

Guan Yu pointed to the left and right, then raised his head and stroked his beard with a smile, and said, "This is Guan's new groom and attendant. It's not surprising that Gong Ming has never seen him before."

Xu Huang couldn't help being startled when he heard it, and thought that you were too arrogant, making it difficult for him to continue.

In fact, Guan Yu was right. Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were really his grooms and attendants.

When these two were yellow turban thieves, they often robbed merchants and passers-by at night, and practiced the ability to distinguish directions in low light, so they became the pioneers last night, and they accidentally killed Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang.

Xu Huang was thinking about how to deal with it, but Xia Houyuan couldn't help being 'insulted' by Guan Yu, so he pointed at the city with a whip and yelled, "Guan Yu, don't be arrogant, do you have the guts to come out of the city to fight?"

"Hahaha"

Guan Yu first shook his head and laughed, and then said seriously: "It seems that the memory of last night is not long enough? If you have some relationship with Guan, how can you allow Er to show off your power here? But if it is replaced by other generals, my Azure Dragon Sword Already drank blood!"

"you!"

Xia Houyuan heard that the other party was alluding to his daughter, and was furious and ready to take the carved bow around his waist.

Seeing this, Xu Huang hurriedly stopped him, and reminded in a low voice: "General Xiahou, hold back your impulses, the key is to find out why Guan Yu is here."

"Yes, yes, I almost made a mistake." Xia Houyuan responded softly.

Guan Yu ignored the whispers in the city. He pointed to the Azure Dragon Saber in Zhou Cang's arms and said meaningfully: "Guan's patience is limited. Xi'e is not where you came from. If you don't leave as soon as possible, you will die."

"The general's prestige is unabated. Since Junhou doesn't welcome us, General Huang and Xiahou should leave. But I heard that you went with Liu Shijun to resist Zhang Lu, why did you come back suddenly?"

Xu Huang's memory of the white horse beheading Yanliang shocked everyone, so he kept his posture very low.

Xu Huang's humility was very appetizing to Guan Yu, and then he stroked his long beard and replied calmly: "Zhang Lu has been defeated by me. If there is nothing to do in the west, I will rush back home, but I don't want to have a 'guest' at home."

"Zhang Lu lost?"

Xu Huang swallowed, and looked at Xia Houyuan in shock.

At the beginning, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other counselors agreed that the upper reaches of the Han River were dangerous, and as long as Zhang Lu guarded the dangerous pass, Liu Biao's entire Jingzhou army might not be able to succeed.

Didn't Jiang Gan remind me when he went to Hanzhong?But Guan Yu actually said that he defeated Zhang Lu. Is it a mystery or is it true?

Xia Houyuan glanced at Guan Yu, guessing that Xu Shu's continuous wins and blocking Yang would anger the lord, so Liu Bei deliberately asked Guan Yu to come back to sit in charge.

It must be like this.

Thinking of this, Xia Houyuan became confident again. He straightened his body and sneered at Guan Yu: "You defeated Zhang Lu? If you can fool others, you can't fool me. Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Guan Yu shook his head straight: "Guan has the Qinglong Sword in his hand, is there any need to deceive people? Just wait, you will receive news soon."
