In the valley, Zhang Fei hurried back to report the news.
Guan Yu stood up and asked, "What's the situation outside?"
Zhang Fei sighed: "The coalition forces have been defeated by the Rong tribe. Now the Rong tribe has gathered troops and is preparing to attack Chang'an."
"Hey, I should have known this." Guan Yu sighed: "The princes from all walks of life have selfish motives and cannot work together to fight against the thieves. How can they withstand the attack of the Rong tribe? Judging from the current situation, Chang'an will not be able to defend it for long."
"Second brother, what should we do next?" Zhang Fei asked.
In the past few days, Guan Yu has also been thinking about this matter. The situation has evolved to the current point, and he and his group can no longer do anything. Everyone's task has been completed. They personally participated in the battlefield and inspected the soldiers and horses of various princes. In the final analysis
, Liangzhou’s main enemies in the future will still be the Rong tribe.
How to deal with the Rong clan in the future is something that everyone needs to consider.
Now that the mission is completed, it's time to return to Liangzhou. Inform Cheng Dalei of the situation here, build up troops and clear the country, and prepare for future wars.
But Guan Yu was more or less unwilling to go back like this. This time, Wu Bai rode out of Liangzhou and seemed to have done something. But from Guan Yu's point of view, it seemed that he had done nothing.
"You can't just go back like this, right?" Zhang Fei said.
"What are you talking about? The master's orders are important. We have completed our mission, what are we still doing here?" Guan Yu scolded.
"Second brother, in my opinion, you can't say that. Although we walked around here, to be honest, we didn't do much. Now that the Rong tribe has defeated the coalition forces, if we also go back in despair, wouldn't it mean that they are in trouble?
I underestimated the heroes of the empire."
"Well, your words are not unreasonable. According to your opinion, what should we do?" Guan Yu looked like he was good at listening to other people's opinions.
Zhang Fei suddenly became more energetic: "In my opinion, let's not rush back to Liangzhou. There is nothing going on in Liangzhou anyway. Why don't we stay in Jingzhou for the time being, do a few big things in a down-to-earth manner, and let the Rong people know about it."
Awesome. Don’t let them raise their tails, because they don’t know the heights of the world.”
"Come on, what the third brother said is what I think in my heart. You and I agree." Guan Yu high-fived.
"Nonsense." Liu Bei on the side couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the two of them: "We are only 500 people in total, but the Rong tribe has an army of 200,000, and there are countless civilian laborers captured.
How can we compete with them, and what big things can we do?"
"Brother, you are confused." Zhang Fei.
Liu Bei was startled: "Why am I confused?"
Zhang Fei said: "We don't have many people, but this area is not empty of people. After the coalition army was defeated, so many people were homeless. Why worry about not being able to gather a team of people, and why not worry about not being able to do big things."
Liu Bei was stunned. It is true that Zhang Fei is a reckless person, but his words are not unreasonable. According to his method, it is not impossible to do things. And what he did is also beneficial to Liangzhou.
"In my opinion, just follow the method of the third brother and accompany the Rong tribe to cause trouble." Guan Yu gave a shout and said: "The whole army is ready, break camp and set off."
Looking back, everyone in the five hundred Liangzhou cavalry was in high spirits. Among the many people present, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were the only ones who wanted to fight and did not want to return to Liangzhou.
In the past, Cheng Dalei locked everyone up and didn't allow them to come out. After finally coming out, of course he wanted to show off his skills and show his name in front of the world.
We have fought against small groups of Rong tribe several times, and we have never been defeated. Now we have strong troops and strong horses. Each person has at least two horses, which can ensure a quick attack and a quick retreat.
After Guan Yu's order was issued, the team began to set up camp. Each of the five hundred people had clean hands and feet, and they were packed up and assembled in a short time.
Under the leadership of Guan Yu, everyone walked out of the mountains and forests and joined the battlefield again.
The large-scale battle has ended, and the current situation will not be changed easily. However, small-scale frictions and conflicts continue.
There are three to five hundred imperial troops here. They were originally affiliated with various princes. After being defeated by the Rong tribe, they also lost contact with the larger army. Now they are short of clothes and medicine, and they are worried about being pursued by the Rong tribe.
Zhang Mang was originally the vanguard of the King of Jizhou. He originally led three to five thousand men and was titled as a general. But now, he only led one to two hundred remnant soldiers and hid in this land. In the end, he still did not escape.
After crossing the Rong tribe, we are currently being surrounded and killed by the Rong tribe.
There were seven or eight hundred Rong soldiers, and they were far more powerful than them. The field was not a fight at all, but a game for the Rong soldiers.
The Rong tribe followed them not too far away, slowing down a few steps when they were close, and pressing forward when they were far away. They shot the imperial troops with bows and arrows, and every time they hit someone, there was a burst of shouting.
Call.
Zhang Mang gritted his teeth. As a soldier, dying on the battlefield is not a shame, but an honor. But being teased like this is a huge insult to anyone.
He is like gathering soldiers and charging against them, but doing so is not much different from death.
After being defeated by the Rong tribe, the fear of the Rong tribe has planted fear in the hearts of the soldiers. Not to mention facing more than a thousand Rong tribe, even dozens of Rong tribe will drive everyone away like rabbits.
The two sides were about a hundred steps apart. The Rong tribe drew their bows and arrows and shot their own comrades. One by one they fell, they were all brothers who fought together from the dead. But Zhang Mang didn't even have the courage to look back at them.
.
Zhang Mang's eyes were already red. A man who was used to bleeding but not crying was experiencing the greatest humiliation in his life.
Living sometimes means humiliation.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves in front was like beating drums. Immediately afterwards, a team rushed over. The leader was a general, wearing black armor, a maroon face, red and phoenix eyes, a blue dragon moon-cutting knife in his hand, and a red rabbit, smoke and cloud beast under his seat.
"Close, close..."
At this moment, Zhang Mang burst into tears. How could anyone who witnessed that battle not know Guan Yu's name? It must be said that the battle personally directed by Guan Yu was a rare honor for the imperial army in recent times.
The five hundred cavalry led by Guan Yu slammed into the Rong cavalry. In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided, like red-hot knives parting snow. However, this time, what flowed was not snow water, but water.
Blood and water.
The Rong tribe was torn open in the center, and the battle was almost one-sided. The Rong tribe fled in all directions without forming any effective resistance.
Zhang Mang stayed where he was, dumbfounded. The Rong clan facing Guan Yu and the Rong clan chasing him seemed to be two different creatures.
One is like a wolf and a tiger, seeming to consume three kilograms of human flesh at every meal. The other is docile and well-behaved, like a herbivorous hare. When faced with being chased, it will only jump up and down, saying: No, no, no.
