The Legend of Pei Yuanqing of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 347 Challenge
A few days later, Li Bu led the army to the gate of Hanzhong City in a hurry, lined up, the scene was magnificent and the momentum was astonishing.

In no hurry to attack, Li Bu rode out of the battle on the Guanzhong divine steed, and glanced coldly at Guan Yu and the others who were watching from the tower.

When he saw Guan Yu's cold look, Li Bu felt a long-lost feeling in his heart, like seeing an old friend, but he didn't know what to say.

After a long time, he exhaled and said, "Guan Yu, I didn't expect you to guard Hanzhong. Where's that Ma Chao? Is he okay? I heard that he was accidentally shot by an arrow. I don't know if he hurt his vitals. I'm so sorry, my subordinates. People are ignorant, the general will apologize to General Ma Chao on my behalf."

Seeing Li Bu's insincere face, and even a little teasing face, Guan Yuwen scolded angrily, "Li Bu, don't show off your words. I was going to go out of the city today and kill you. But since you came from thousands of miles away and you are exhausted, I will let you rest for one night to recharge your spirits, and I will kill you tomorrow, so no one will say that I am taking advantage of others."

After Guan Yu finished speaking, he looked at Xu Shu, the military adviser next to him. These words were exactly what Xu Shu explained.

The enemy is coming in menacingly, and it is several times stronger than our army. Once the battle starts immediately, the enemy's morale and combat effectiveness will be absolutely terrifying, so if you want to find a way to let them vent their anger, you must have a high-sounding reason, so as not to be said I was afraid, which affected the morale of the army.

Of course Li Bu was unwilling to stop there, he wished to have a decisive battle with Guan Yu now, behead Guan Yu, and enter Hanzhong.

Li Bu laughed and said, "Although I have come from a long way, I am full of strength and high fighting spirit. General Guan, why don't you come down and give me some advice? I am really curious about the extraordinary strength of the general. If you don't fight the general, you can just I’m afraid I’m going to have trouble sleeping tonight, if I haven’t had a good rest, I’ll have no energy tomorrow, so isn’t the general just taking advantage of someone’s danger?”

Guan Yu insisted, "I told you to wait for one night to recuperate, just one night, and I will never back down when I say what I say!"

"Hmph! Guan Yu, is it because you are afraid of me?" Li Bu said with a bad face, "Although I, Li Bu, am an unknown person, I have also defeated Cao Jun, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Xu Huangyu, and other generals in the past. Not long ago, I even defeated Your general Ma Chao, don't I, Li Bu, have the qualifications to fight Guan Yu?"

Guan Yu sneered and said, "I haven't seen you kill the enemy with my own eyes, so naturally I don't know your strength, but in my eyes, you are not qualified to kill me yet."

Li Ba gritted his teeth, and said angrily, "Hey, Guan Yu is going to be insane, if there is a way to go out of the city immediately and fight decisively, he will never die!"

Guan Yu said disdainfully, "If you don't appreciate it if you live an extra day, tomorrow you will know how important it is to rest."

After finishing speaking, Guan Yu left the tower, but did not go down the tower, but sat down in the arrow tower of the tower, surrounded by military adviser Xu Shu, Guan Ping, Guan Feng and others.

Xu Shu asked, "Is the general sure to kill that Li Bu?"

Guan Yu thought for a while and said, "It's nothing to worry about. In this world, no one can kill me except the late Wen Hou Lu Bu."

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The opponent has too many soldiers and horses, which invisibly put a heavy pressure on our army, so I can only hope that the general will capture the flag in the battle of generals, increase our morale, and hit the opponent's morale , one ebbs and another, the disparity in our military strength will be made up for."

If other generals were to guard Hanzhong, Xu Shu would definitely suggest that he stick to the city, as he would suffer heavy losses if he fought head-to-head, and the disparity in strength was too great.

But the current guardian is different, this is Guan Yu, the mighty Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, who passed five passes and killed six generals, killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, warmed wine and killed Hua Xiong, and other deeds that shocked China.

As the number one general under Liu Bei's command, Guan Yu's actions represent Liu Bei's strength, so Guan Yu must show his momentum, so what about a 20 army, he will still break you.

"I don't care if I think about it too much, I will know when I have a fight with him tomorrow," Guan Yu said without much feeling.

Xu Shu smiled wryly, "The general is really a god-man. Now that the soldiers are at the gate of the city, he is still so calm and composed. Yuan Zhi is deeply impressed."

Then the conversation turned and he said, "There is another piece of good news. I just watched the formation of the enemy army and found that this army is weak and mixed. It is by no means a whole army of elite soldiers. It is very likely that it is an army that has not undergone rigorous training. , or even an army made up of seven or eight, if this is the case, with our army's elite soldiers, there is great hope of winning with less and more."

Guan Yu's eyes lit up and he said, "If that's the case, then it's an opportunity. Tomorrow, the general will be killed before the battle, and then he will wave his army to cover up the kill. The first battle will surely be successful."

Xu Shu said with a smile, "Tomorrow we will all depend on the general, and the general should pay attention, there are many generals behind the opponent, the general must remember to be careful of the opponent's cold arrows when he goes out."

Guan Yu nodded and said solemnly, "Thank you for your advice. Tomorrow, I will ask Ping'er, Ma Dai, Yan Baihu, Zhao Lei, and Wang Fu to help me hold the line. There should be no problem."

Xu Shu nodded, "That's good. I'm relieved. By the way, won't you let Guan Feng fight?"

Guan Feng said hastily, "Father, the child wants to fight the enemy together with the father. As the saying goes, father and son are soldiers. How can the child back down!"

Guan Yu frowned and refused, "No, you two can only go out with me alone. There are many unpredictable things on the battlefield. I don't want to lose both of you at the same time!"

Guan Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Then the father can let the boy go, let the elder brother stay."

Guan Ping hurriedly said, "You should take me with you and let my brother stay behind"

"Let me go, brother"

Guan Yu stopped the two of them and said, "I have made up my mind, Guan Ping will go out with me, and Guan Feng and Hu Ban will assist the army to defend the city!"

Seeing that Guan Feng still wanted to speak, Guan Yu sighed and said, "Guan Ping has been with me for a long time, and his skills on the battlefield are better than yours. You only worshiped me as a foster father later. Don't worry, if tomorrow goes well, I will take you with me next time!"

Guan Feng was deeply moved, nodded and said, "My child understands, father must be careful!"

"Your father's Qinglong Yanyue Knife is not made of mud. It's just Li Bu, what a shame!" Guan Yu said with a smile, although he knew that Li Bu would not be too simple, but if the sky fell, he would hold it up, so he couldn't let others worry.

"You two still need to practice your saber skills," Guan Yu reminded.

"We will, and we will rely on it to kill enemies in the future. The Azure Dragon Saber technique taught by my father is very powerful," Guan Ping said with a smile.

Guan Feng also nodded solemnly, Guan Yu taught them the most core martial arts meticulously, if they didn't learn it well, it would be a waste of money.

. . .

Outside the city, Li Bu failed in the challenge and could only return to the camp. Under Yang Xiu's suggestion, Li Bu ordered people to retreat five li to set up camp.

The soldiers were setting up camp, while Li Bu was walking and chatting with the advisers.

Li Bu said, "Then Guan Yu is too cautious and insists on fighting again tomorrow. Could it be that he has seen our intentions? Or is he worried about the disparity between the number of soldiers?"

Yang Xiu said with a smile, "The other party also has expert advice. Although Guan Yu is a famous general in the world, he is just a man with strong martial arts. He has no opponent in his eyes. How could he put the general in his eyes?" , challenge the general, with Guan Yu's character, he will definitely go out of the city to fight, because Guan Yu is sure to kill you, the general."

Li Bu sneered, "You want to kill me? Is it that simple? Humph, I can't wait to see his shocked expression."
