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 unreasonable.

Xu Huang returned to the camp with doubts. Not to mention capturing one or two prisoners of war to offer to Cao Cao, he had just lost a lot of people.

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

Xia Houyuan had a dark face at night and did not say a word. He was afraid that the camp would be hijacked and ordered the entire army to sleep in their clothes. 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 finally lost 380 people.

Although three hundred and eighty people were not many, for the total number of two thousand people, it was considered a very bad battle loss.

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

"General, reinforcements came from Xi'e last night. It would be detrimental to the army to stay here for a long time. Why not withdraw to Bowang as soon as possible?"

"I also have this 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 won't be easy to greet the master. We need to find out who our opponent was last night."

"That's okay"

Xu Huang was hesitant at first, but when he saw Xia Houyuan's resolute face, he had no choice but to obey the other party's arrangement, and then formed an army and marched to Xi'e City.

Xia Houyuan was not a reckless general. He knew that Liu Bei's sojourn in Jingzhou was in dire need of war horses. Even though there were mysterious reinforcements from Xi'e last night, without a large number of war horses and cavalry to assist, he could not stop himself from leading his troops to withdraw.

When we were almost arriving at the city, the sun was just rising over the horizon.

The golden light shone on the armor of Cao Jun, transforming the two battalions of Cao Jun into golden warriors.

Responding to them is the tranquility on the city wall.

Xia Houyuan and Xu Huang looked at each other, wondering what was going on with Mi Fang?

Yesterday he was waiting in the city for a long time, but today he ignored us? So contemptuous of us?

Just as he was about to call the door, a place in the city suddenly became dazzling with golden light.

Xia Houyuan shook his eyes and realized that it was a large sword standing upright. It was held in the arms of a strong man and walked forward. There was a man of similar stature next to him.

"It's them!"

"Hmm? Do you know the general?"

Hearing Xia Houyuan's exclamation, Xu Huang couldn't help but turn around and ask.

"Has Gongming forgotten what happened last night? They led a team to attack the two generals at night."

"Is it them? I will go up and ask."

After Xu Huang finished speaking, he rode forward and carefully observed the two men on the edge of the city. He didn't have much impression in his mind, so he raised his head and shouted loudly: "Who is standing on the city? Where is Mi Fang, the guard of Western Hubei?"

The shouts broke the tranquility of the early morning, but the two people on the city remained as motionless as cypresses, and did not even look at Xu Huang below the city.

When Xu Huang saw that the other party did not respond, the anger in his chest rushed straight to the top of his head, and he shouted again in a clearly angry tone.

"Are you deaf?"

"It's already autumn, and Gongming's anger is really strong."

Accompanied by a familiar and deep voice, a familiar green figure appeared at the top of the city. He was stroking his long beard with an expression that was half-smiling, looking so calm and calm.

Seeing this, Xu Huang hurriedly gathered his thoughts. Now that his suspicion from last night was confirmed, his heart felt like a stone falling to the ground. He cupped his fists and saluted: "General Guan, are you okay?"

Guan Yu returned the gift: "Thank you for your concern. Guan is very kind. Gong Ming seems to be the best."

Xu Huang had a bitter look on his face after hearing this, saying that he was worried that you would rob the camp last night, and the soldiers did not have a good rest, so their faces inevitably showed some signs of fatigue.

Just as he was about to respond, Xia Houyuan also followed.

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

Guan Yu stood at the top of the city, looking down from a high position, and was reflected by the rising sun like a god.

I saw him bluffing with phoenix eyes and saying slowly: "Guan is the captain of the northern part of Nanyang. What problems do I have in my jurisdiction?"

"this"

Xia Houyuan was speechless for a moment, Xu Huang rolled his eyes, cupped his fists and continued what he had just said.

"I didn't know it was General Guan yesterday. He looked a little tired after thinking about it all night. You two are very good at night fighting. Why didn't you see me in White Horse before?"

"them?"

Guan Yu pointed to the left and right, then raised his head, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "This is Guan's new groom and entourage. It's not surprising that I haven't seen him before."

Xu Huang couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, thinking 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 followers.

When these two men were Yellow Turban thieves, they often robbed merchants and passers-by at night and developed the ability to identify directions under low light. That's why they became the pioneers last night and unexpectedly killed Xia Houyuan. Xu Huang could not resist.

Xu Huang was thinking about how to respond. Xia Houyuan couldn't help being 'insulted' by Guan Yu, so he pointed his whip at the city and shouted: "Guan Yu, don't be arrogant. Do you have the guts to go 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 was not long enough? If you and Guan had not been related, how could you show off your power here? If it were another general, my Qinglong Sword

Already drank blood!"

"you!"

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

Seeing this, Xu Huang hurriedly stopped him and reminded him in a low voice: "General Xiahou, resist being impulsive. Finding out why Guan Yu is here is the key."

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

Guan Yu ignored the whispers among the people in the city. He pointed at the Qinglong Dao in Zhou Cang's arms and said meaningfully: "Guan's patience has a limit. Xi'e is not where you came from. If you don't leave as soon as possible, you will leave your life behind."

"The general is so majestic. Since the prince does not welcome us, General Huang and Xiahou should leave on their own. However, I heard that you followed Liu Shijun to resist Zhang Lu. Why did you suddenly come back?"

The white horse's skill in slaying Yan's face shocked everyone. Xu Huang still remembered it, so he kept his posture very low.

Xu Huang's humility appealed to Guan Yu's taste, and he immediately 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 naturally rush home, but I don't want to have a 'guest' at home."

"Zhang Lu was defeated?"

Xu Huang swallowed and looked at Xia Houyuan in shock.

At the beginning, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other counselors agreed that the terrain upstream of the Han River was dangerous, and as long as Zhang Lu guarded the dangerous pass, Liu Biao's entire force in Jingzhou might not be able to succeed.

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

Xia Houyuan glanced at Guan Yu and guessed that Xu Shu would win the title and block Yang would anger his lord, so Liu Bei deliberately asked Guan Yu to come back and take charge.

That must be the case.

Thinking of this, Xia Houyuan became more confident. He straightened up and sneered at Guan Yu: "You defeated Zhang Lu? You can deceive others and they can't deceive me. It's impossible, absolutely impossible."

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