Chapter 369: Passing Five Passes and Killing Six Generals (3)
After beheading Han Fu, Guan Yu ordered the replenishment of tamasu and food in the pass. After a short stay, he continued to walk towards the north of Shishui Pass.
Zhou Cang is very familiar with Bian Xi, the garrison of Sishui Pass. This man was once a remnant of the Yellow Turban Party. Later, he surrendered to Cao Cao in Qingzhou. Seeing that he was good at using a meteor hammer, Cao Cao asked him to station at Sishui Pass and promote him to become the chief general of the pass. According to Zhou Cang, this man was insidious and cunning, and had a strong utilitarianism. Therefore, Zhou Cang speculated that he would try every means to intercept him and others, but he would not force Guan Yu's reputation, and maybe he would make some conspiracy.
Zhou Cang's reminder made Guan Yu's heart a little more embankment. Some people who capsized in the gutter were that Guan Yu would never allow himself to be harmed by the little design before he saw Zhang Fei. It could make Guan Yu, who was proud, feel a little lifted. It shows how important Zhang Fei is in his heart.
As Zhou Cang expected, after Guan Yu and others arrived, Bian Xi of Sishui Pass did not look coldly like the previous guards. Instead, he showed great closeness and eagerly welcomed Guan Yu and others into the pass, and held a banquet to enter Guan Yu and Zhou Cang in the Zhenguo Temple within the pass.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Bian Xi thought in her heart: Seeing Guan Yu's expression was calm, she must have no longer beware of her. She could leave the hall and call out the knife and axe to chop them into meat sauce! Bian Xi thought to herself and was about to get up, an old monk walked in from outside the hall and came straight to Guan Yu, folded his hands together, and asked, "Do you still recognize the old monk?"
Guan Yu looked at it for a long time, but he felt a little embarrassed and said a little embarrassedly: "Guan is a clumsy, I hope the monk will forgive me." The monk smiled slightly and continued: "Before the old monk became a monk, his family was only a river separated from the general's house."
"A river is separated by? Could it be the Qinglong River?" Guan Yu asked quickly.
The old monk nodded and sighed: "The general was born on the bank of the Qinglong River. Later, he became famous all over the world for the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. The old monk used to be the general Busan Zeji. I am afraid that the general will be the minister of the Qinglong in the future."
Bian Xi knew this old monk, Pujing, the host of Zhenguo Temple. At this moment, he saw Pujing and Guan Yu chatting about family matters. He was afraid that he would leak news, so he quickly stood up and said, "Zen Master Pujing, today is a drink party. The Zen Master is a master of enlightenment. Don't participate, right?"
When Pujing heard this, he was not good at saying anything, so he had to fold Shi and bow to Guan Yu. With his body lowered, he secretly turned to Guan Yu. His eyes swept to both sides of the hall with a faint look. He split a little finger with his hands, pointed a little to both sides, and then stood up and exited the hall.
Seeing Pujing winking and gestured by Bian Xi on his back, Guan Yu didn't understand that Bian Xi had already laid a knife and axe on both sides outside the hall? At that moment, Guan Yu raised his head and looked at Bian Xi, and said coldly: "General, please ask Guan to go to the banquet. Is it good intentions or malicious intentions?"
Seeing Guan Yu's expression, Bian Xi knew that the matter had been leaked, so he stopped hiding it. He shouted angrily: "Guan Yu! Today is your death! Left and left, slash and kill!" The sword and axe hands, who had already ambushed on both sides of the hall, rushed into the hall, swung their swords and axes and rushed towards Guan Yu.
"If I had known you would not have good intentions!" Zhou Cang shouted violently. He grabbed the Qinglong Yanyue Sword placed beside him and threw it to Guan Yu. Then he pulled out the steel knife from his waist and turned around to fight back at the rushing knife and axe driver.
Guan Yu reached out to grab the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and shouted and took Bian Xi straight. Bian Xi did not dare to be negligent. He quickly took out the meteor hammer from the backpack behind him and fought with Guan Yu in an arm. The meteor hammer is an extremely rare outer weapon and is extremely complicated to use. The more complex the weapon, the higher the requirements for generals. Often, people who use such a side weapon are either top experts or vulgar and despicable people. Just like Lu Bu and Wu Anguo, who cut off one hand by him, Lu Bu studied the uncommon weapon of Fang Tian Hua Ji to the extreme, so he is called the God of War. Wu Anguo, like Bian Xi, used a meteor hammer, but his wrist was cut off by Lu Bu's three moves in front of Hulao Pass.
Bian Xi’s martial arts in front of him are only slightly better than Wu Anguo at the time, but Guan Yu is no longer the Guan Yu from more than ten years ago. As time goes by, Guan Yu is now even more terrifying than when the three heroes fought against Lu Bu. He doesn’t know how many levels of martial arts perceptions are higher than before!
Therefore, Bian Xi's fate was already destined. He had no other way to go except for defeat. With just two moves between the two, Guan Yu used the Qinglong Yanyue Sword to cut off the iron chain on Bian Xi's meteor hammer, then stepped forward and chopped Bian Xi to the ground with one knife. On the other side, Zhou Cang swung his sword alone among the two hundred Cao's swords and axes, and did not lose any disadvantage. Instead, the Cao soldiers who killed them retreated.
Hearing the fighting sounds in the hall, five hundred school knives from the headquarters who had already received a warning from Guan Yu broke in. After seeing the situation in the hall, he drew his sword without saying a word and joined Zhou Cang to cut the two hundred knives and axe players who were ambushing Bian Xi, like chopping melons and vegetables. The hall of Zhenguo Temple was full of incomplete bodies, and red blood gathered together, forming streams, flowing along the steps of the hall to the courtyard outside.
After killing Bian Xi and others, Guan Yu led his troops to the granary in the pass, opened the granary and distributed it to the residents in the pass, and then went to Bian Xi's mansion to gather the money he had plundered on weekdays together, and then divided it into three, one third to the people, one third for money on the road, and the other third was donated to Zhenguo Temple, which was regarded as the incense money given to Pujing.
Guan Yu had never been in trouble at the previous checkpoints, but he took away a purple roar at Dongling Pass. But Bian Xi was so hateful. With his character, I believe that he had plundered many people's wealth on weekdays. Guan Yu would not let go of these ill-gotten wealth. After distributing the money and grain, Guan Yu asked Zhou Cang to burn Bian Xi's mansion with a torch, and then he continued to embark on the road to Yanjing under the churn of smoke.
While Guan Yu passed the pass and killed the generals, Cao Cao from Changyi also received news of Guan Yu's entry. At the beginning, Cao Cao did not understand Guan Yu's intention, but asked the guards along the way to step up their guards and not let Guan Yu pass. But later bad news came frequently, Guan Kong Xiu of Dongling was killed, and Cao Cao spent a sky-high price to buy Zi Yan and was taken away by him. After receiving the news, Cao Cao just smiled and said, "BMW is given to the hero. Just think of this purple Yan and give it to Yu Yunchang."
Then, Han Fu and Meng Tan, a 80-mile guard outside Luoyang City, were both killed. Guan Yu broke through the pass and left. This made the generals under Cao Cao unable to bear it. Don’t forget that they had just retreated from the battlefield in Hanzhong. They had just experienced the tragic defeat of being single-handed by Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Ao Lie. Now Guan Yu has come again to kill the generals. How can the group of generals headed by Xiahou Dun not annoyed? However, Cao Cao saw it very clearly. He did not see it from
It was judged from Guan Yu's walking route that he was heading north, so Cao Cao speculated that Guan Yu was going to Yanjing. The reason was that it could only be for the recent rumor of Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei was appointed as a general by Yan King Ao Lie, and his courtesy was far higher than his treatment when he was under Liu Bei. What's more, Liu Bei was just the left general and took the post of governor of Yizhou. He had no power to be appointed as a marquis. Guan Yu was going to Yanjing to find Zhang Fei and questioned in person why Zhang Fei had participated in Ao Lie.
After judging Guan Yu's intention, Cao Cao not only did not send troops to increase defense, but quickly sent a fast horse to the checkpoint to the north. Notify the guards of various places that if they see Guan Yu, don't argue with him and let him lead his troops to pass the pass. Cao Cao did this. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone. He not only sold Guan Yu to Guan Yu for a favor, so that he could feel his respect for him. He left an extra way of retreat for the future, and at the same time, he could lead the disaster to the east and let Guan Yu go to Ao Lie's territory to make a fuss. No matter how much trouble he made in the end, the only losses would be Ao Lie and Liu Bei. Cao Cao had no losses at all, so why not do it?
Unfortunately, Cao Cao's order was not sent to various garrisons along the way in time. It was not until Wang Zhi, the governor of Xingyang Pass and Qin Qi, the governor of the Yellow River Ferry, died under Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword, which made Guan Yu pass through five passes and kill six generals, and crossed thousands of miles unstoppable. Cao Cao's order was sent to the hands of Liu Ye, the prefect of Wei County. Liu Ye was originally a relative of the Han Dynasty, but later became an official under Cao Cao's command. Cao Cao was always suspicious of him. He relied on his talents, but was worried that he would be a relative of the Han Dynasty and would be detrimental to him. Therefore, he sent him to Wei County. This only county in Jizhou controlled by Cao Cao became Cao Hong's staff officer. Later, in order to prepare for the battle for Hanzhong, Cao Cao transferred Cao Hong away, and Liu Ye was then promoted and became the prefect of Wei County.
After receiving Cao Cao's order, Liu Ye thought for a while and understood Cao Cao's intention, so he personally brought ten ferries to the bank of the Yellow River to greet Guan Yu, preparing to send Guan Yu across the river.
Before Liu Ye was allowed to wait on the shore for too long, he saw a group of people coming from a distance. The leader was green robe and golden armor, with a red face, and holding a green dragon crescent knife in his hand. Liu Ye knew that Guan Yu had arrived, and shouted from a distance: "General Guan! I have prepared a ferry here under the order of Sikong. Please feel free to cross the river."
Guan Yu tied the reins of Ziqin and asked suspiciously: "How could Cao Sikong know that Guan was going to cross the river?"
Liu Ye smiled and said, "Sikong is aware of astronomy and geography. How can he not know General Guan's itinerary? Sikong had already sent someone to send a pass token, but he missed it with General Guan, which caused General Guan to go all the way and wasted a lot of time. Sikong asked Liu Ye to apologize to General Guan again. By the way, Sikong also said that the BMW gift to General Guan, this purple hat is considered a gift from Sikong to General Guan."
Hearing Cao Cao's special courtesy to him, Guan Yu's heart moved and clasped his fists to Liu Ye and said, "Guan thanked Sikong for his care. Guan has recorded this kindness and will definitely return it ten times the day in the future!"
When Liu Ye heard this, he knew that Cao Cao's intention had been achieved, so that Guan Yu could remember a kindness. This was not something that anyone could do. A person like Guan Yu who values love and friendship would be unchanged for a lifetime!
Just as Guan Yu turned over and got off the horse and was about to get on the boat, a angrily shout came from behind him: "Guan Yu, don't leave!" (To be continued...)
