After Guan Yu and Liu Lin divided their forces in Changli, they led an army of 50,000 and rushed towards Xuantu County. Although Guan Yu had been extremely conceited in the past few years, Guan Yu still did not dare to be careless during the war and sent all the scouts to
Spread out, and scouts from a radius of ten miles back and forth to inquire about the news. This time Liu Lin led 30,000 horses across the Liao River and approached Xiangping. Guan Yu knew that this time Liu Lin was giving him a chance. After the battle of Liaodong, this will happen in the future.
There are very few wars on the border, and even if there are, they are sporadic skirmishes, and Liu Lin will also set his sights on the Central Plains. Whether he will have the opportunity to lead troops in the future Central Plains war depends on this Liaodong War.
Fighting.
On a hillside five miles outside Houcheng County, a young boy was lying on a sheepskin blanket, holding a piece of yellow withered grass in the corner of his mouth, squinting his eyes and dozing off. At this time, he heard a rustling sound.
At the sound of the sound, he sat up all of a sudden, like a cheetah, without the lazy look just now. His eyes flashed with light, and he held the handle of the knife at his waist. When he saw the man who was climbing up,
When someone came, a smile appeared in his eyes, "Major General, there's a situation!" The person who came was also a young man, but he was obviously older than this boy. When the boy heard this person call him this, his face became serious.
He whispered: "How many times have you told me to call me Duizheng or Guan Ping? Why can't you remember it?" The old He chuckled and scratched his head with his hands in embarrassment.
It turned out that this young man was Guan Ping, the eldest son of Guan Yu. He joined the Forbidden Army last year. In order to take care of Guan Yu, Liu Lin placed Guan Ping in the Changli Army. After Guan Ping arrived in the army, he was not awarded any military position. Instead, he was just an ordinary soldier.
Soldiers, not only that, Guan Yu also added Guan Ping to the scout camp. The scout camp was the elite in the army, but it was also the military branch with the most casualties. This made the Changli army highly respect Guan Yu. Now Guan Ping is in the scout camp and
Lei Gong was promoted to captain, which was the result of Liu Lin's personal greetings, otherwise Guan Ping would still be an ordinary scout.
Guan Ping glanced at the embarrassed Lao He. This Lao He was his first friend in the scout camp. He was originally his corps commander, but now he became his immediate boss. He gave Lao He a light hammer.
He's chest, and asked: "What useful information did the brothers find just now?" When Old He heard the question about military affairs, he clasped his fists and said: "When the brothers were in Liaoyang County, they found a group of suspicious cavalry, only three of them.
There were more than ten people. Gou Wa, who was responsible for inquiring about information in Liaoyang, said that when they left the city, even the Liaoyang County Magistrate personally escorted them out of the city. Originally Gou Wa thought they were just Gongsun Yi's people, but later he found out that they were Gongsun Du's.
The guards are going to Xuantu County to deliver a message to Gongsun Yi!"
When Guan Ping heard this, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly asked: "How far are they from here now?" Lao He cupped his fists and said, "There are still about two or three miles away!" Guan Ping looked confused and quickly learned the lesson.
There were several birds chirping, and at this time, several figures emerged from various places on the hillside and came towards Guan Ping. When these people arrived, Guan Ping took a solemn look at his brothers, nodded and said: "
Brothers, business is coming!" These were the elite scouts. When they heard this, they immediately exuded a trace of murderous intent. Guan Ping looked at his brothers with satisfaction and said, "Hurry down and prepare. We will wait for you later.
As soon as the idea comes, we will take action immediately! We must leave one alive!" The scouts quickly followed the order.
Guan Ping found a crossbow from the grass, wiped it carefully, and put three crossbow arrows into it. This was made by Liu Lin's Ordnance Bureau. I heard that it was made by a man named Ma. Specifically, it was called Ma.
Guan Ping didn't know what the horse was, but it was really a good thing. He carefully checked his weapon. It was the same big sword as his father, but it was not as domineering as the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, but it should not be underestimated.
It was Guan Ping's habit. Every time he took action, he would carefully check his equipment.
After everything was checked, Guan Ping nervously stared at the official road not far ahead. In less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of horse hooves sounded on the official road, and a team of thirty people galloped towards this direction. Guan Ping's face
There was a cold smile on his face, and he slowly adjusted the position of the crossbow in his hand. The thirty people were getting closer and closer, and when he saw the face of the knight in front, Guan Ping buttoned up the crossbow.
Seeing three crossbow arrows heading straight towards the group of knights, "Puff!" a knight was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse. Guan Ping's crossbow arrow was the signal to take action. Before the group of knights could react, another "Puff!"
There was a sound of "poof", and immediately there were only three or four people. The leader was Zhang Cheng, Gongsun Du's bodyguard. Seeing that he dared to stop here, he quickly rode forward. When Guan Ping saw him, he quickly picked up the
There was a long bow nearby. He drew the bow and shot out. An arrow hit the horse's dung gate. The horse was so painful that it threw Zhang Cheng out.
Guan Ping jumped down from the hillside, holding a big knife in his hand, and went towards Zhang Cheng with murderous intent. At this time, of the thirty cavalry on the official road, only Zhang Cheng was still alive. Zhang Cheng still wanted to escape, but
Before he could run a few steps, he was struck down by Guan Ping's long sword and knocked to the ground. He said in a cold voice: "Boy, if you run away again, I will kill you!" Zhang Cheng glanced at this man who was obviously still a young man, and he was already attracted by him in his heart.
Frightened into silence by the murderous aura that filled the sky, he hurriedly said: "General, spare your life! General, spare your life!"
Guan Ping asked everyone to tie Zhang Cheng up. At this time, Lao He took out a jade pendant and a letter from Zhang Cheng's arms. At this time, Zhang Cheng's face turned pale. He looked at Guan Ping, and Guan Ping handed over the letter.
When he opened it, he was stunned. He glanced at Zhang Cheng sideways and said, "Why did you offend Gongsun Du and send you to die?" Zhang Cheng didn't know what Guan Ping meant at all. At this time, Guan Ping unexpectedly said
The letter was handed to Zhang Cheng and said: "Read it carefully for yourself, and then make a decision!"
Zhang Cheng looked at Guan Ping with confusion, but seeing that Guan Ping didn't seem to be faking it, he took the letter and looked at it. His face suddenly turned pale. It turned out that the letter was actually from Gongsun Du. After seeing this letter, Gongsun Yi immediately said:
Zhang Cheng was killed for collaborating with the enemy. When Zhang Cheng saw Guan Ping's joking look, his heart suddenly trembled and he clasped his fists and said, "How dare you ask this general to spare my life? I am willing to help the general capture Xuantu County!"
When Guan Ping heard this, a smile appeared on his face. He helped Zhang Cheng up and said, "Okay, it's rare that you are willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. I will take you to see my general!"
