Six hundred and one thousand miles to ride alone

Yan Qing can give up wealth and glory for the woman she loves, but Master Li can't forget his mission.

Women will not only be pleasing to themselves, but also promised. Master Li can feel Yan Qing's infatuation with him, but he will not forget Liu Bian's life-saving grace, let alone his mission.

"Yan Xiaoyi, I appreciate your care for me, but I can't accept your pursuit." Master Li gave Yan Qing an apologetic smile and poured a basin of cold water on his head.

At this moment, Yan Qing was a little heartbroken, and asked abruptly, "Why?" Haven't you had enough of this kind of involuntary life? Or Yan Qing can't get into the girl's eyes? ”

Master Li said with a straight face: "Yan Qing, you are an excellent man, no matter which girl meets you, she will be moved." But the teacher hopes that his future man will be a big husband who cares about the world, instead of only thinking about the private affairs of his children. The teacher hopes that the man who will grow old with him in the future will be a great husband who promises a lot of money, rather than a man who does not believe in his word! ”

Guan Yu didn't know what Master Li was referring to, and thought it was a man's promise to a woman, but Yan Qing knew that Master Li was referring to ignoring Liu Wei's order and forgetting his mission for the sake of his children's private affairs, so he couldn't help but be silent, his face full of loss.

Guan Yu coughed, and said: "Okay, I don't care about your children's personal affairs, I will go out of the city overnight and return to Shangyong now, and take down this thief when Liu Yu enters my camp." ”

Master Li bowed his head and said: "What General Guan said is extremely true, Liu Yu has already set off in the morning, and you must also hurry up, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable if you are late." ”

Guan Yu said with some concerns: "A few days ago. The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty sent me a letter saying that he was an old man who rescued me in the midst of the chaos. surname Du Ming Yueniang; I have already sent someone to Chengdu to reunite with me, and it is estimated that it will be there in three or five days at the latest. A certain person is afraid that after leaving, Yueniang will make trouble in Chengdu. I think Yan Zhuangshi is good, can I take care of Yueniang for a few days with my teacher. When I catch Liu Yu, the thief, I will be escorted back to Chengdu for trial! ”

"The prince is righteous and thin, and he is as kind to Yan Qing as a mountain, you can rest assured, as long as Du Niangzi enters Chengdu, even if I Yan Qing gives up this life, I will protect her safety!" Yan Qing bowed to Guan Yu, looking like a promise. Since Master Li accuses himself of not being credited, he must show her a good performance.

Master Li let Guan Yu go out of the city with peace of mind. also promised: "Second Brother Guan, hurry up and set off, since the King of Hanzhong is sworn to me, he will give me a little face, and I will definitely take care of Sister Yueniang on behalf of the second brother." ”

Guan Yu relieved himself to write a letter to Liu Bei, to the effect that he had an urgent matter to return to Shangyong, and he would return to Chengdu within half a month to give Liu Bei an explanation. At the end, he said that Du Yueniang was his old friend, please Liu Bei to protect her safety, if there is a mistake, you must ask to understand when you come back!

Only Yan Qing and Master Li were left waiting for Du Yueniang. Guan Yu was still a little uneasy, and decided to leave all his entourage and Zhou Cang in Chengdu, and repeatedly told Zhou Cang to protect Du's safety, and finally picked up his knife and got on the horse. Go straight to the city gates.

Chengdu is located in the center of Bashu, and there is no war, so the city gate is not closed until the time of the city. It's still early. Guan Yu lifted the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and went out of Chengdu single-handedly. Head north.

From Chengdu to Shangyong Zhuyang Daying, there are two ways to go. One is to go to Jiangzhou and Yong'an to Jiangling, but this road is much farther away, and when Guan Yu came, he chose to take this route because he wanted to tell Zhang Fei not to move. Now that he is alone, he doesn't have so many worries, so he plans to go all the way north to Zitong, Hanzhong, and then to Shangyong.

Liu Yu has been operating in Hanzhong for many years, and all the people from the soldiers to the officials have changed, and Guan Yu knows that it is useless for him to go to Hanzhong; But Shangyong's Xiang Lang and Xiang Pet's uncles and nephews were all allocated by themselves, and Shangyong's 7,000 defenders were also his own people, as long as he returned to Shangyong one step in advance, he could still prevent Liu Yu from seizing power.

In the vast night, Guan Yu single-handedly galloped north.

Just half an hour after Guan Yu left, Master Li returned to his room, quietly summoned Maeda Qingji and Yan Qing, and instructed: "Our mission is to rebel against Liu Yu as soon as possible, and now quickly go and inform his ears and eyes of the news that Guan Yu is preparing to arrest Liu Yu, so that Liu Yu will not be able to rebel." ”

At that moment, Master Li wrote a letter to Liu Yu, telling Liu Yu that Liu Bei had seen through his beauty plan, had insight into Liu Yu's plan, and had asked Guan Yu to return to the Shangyong camp quickly, preparing to take him down when Liu Yu took over the military power.

Maeda Keiji was afraid that Yan Qing would make a mistake again, so he quickly took the letter out of the post house and connected with Liu Yu's eyes and ears in Chengdu. After the meeting, he instructed, "This letter is urgent, please send it to the general as soon as possible." ”

Liu Yu's eyes and ears have been lurking in Chengdu for a long time, and he has long had a disguised identity, seeing what Maeda Qingji said solemnly, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and immediately went out of the city overnight, and rushed to Hanzhong quickly.

However, it is said that after Liu Yu, Du Ruhui and Wei Wentong left Chengdu during the day, they worked hard all the way, day and night, and rushed a thousand miles in the evening of the day after tomorrow to arrive near Dingjun Mountain.

Liu Yu said: "I always have a feeling of uneasiness, if Guan Yu suddenly regrets and is unwilling to hand over the military power, I am afraid that things will make waves again." I didn't enter Hanzhong anymore, I took General Wentong all the way to Shangyong, first controlled Shangyong, and then went to Zhuyang, three hundred miles to the east, to take over the military power, and cooked raw rice to avoid extraneous branches. ”

He also said to Shi Wengong: "Leave Ruhui and Han Sui to sit in Hanzhong, and you will lead 30,000 horses to the east into Shangyong, echoing me from afar." ”

Du Ruhui and Wei Wentong arched their hands together: "The general is decisive in killing, like a person who has achieved great things, I don't know how many times stronger than the indecisiveness of the king of Hanzhong, and the two of us are willing to take the general's head as the horse!" ”

At the moment, the two sides parted ways at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, Du Ruhui and Shi Wengong led 500 people to continue to go north to Hanzhong, while Liu Yu took Wei Wentong to lead 500 people to turn around and go straight to Shangyong.

That night, Liu Yu and his entourage changed horses in Dongcheng County, under the jurisdiction of Hanzhong, and continued to gallop in the direction of Shangyong, and at the same time, Guan Yu also rushed alone day and night.

In the early morning of the second day after Guan Yu left Chengdu, he arrived at the foot of Dingjun Mountain in the middle of the night later than Liu Yu.

Looking around, I realized that a checkpoint had been built at the foot of the mountain. Although the city wall is not high, it is built on the traffic to rush, which can be said to choke the throat of the north and south, and control the east and west main roads.

"It's a good Liu Yu, I've only been away from Hanzhong for two or three years, and he has secretly set up a checkpoint in Dingjun Mountain, so it seems that he has long had the intention of rebellion. If he doesn't get along with his brother, he will send someone to guard this level, and the army of Bashu will need to fight hard to pass the level! ”

Guan Yu stroked his long hair with his hand, and thought to himself in his heart, "This time, I have to arrest Liu Yu no matter what, and get rid of this guy with wolf ambitions!" ”

Guan Yu made up his mind, rode straight to the gate, and called the door loudly: "Who is guarding the pass?" Open the door quickly! ”

It turned out that Liu Yu was afraid that Guan Yu would chase after him, and after passing Dingjun Mountain last night, he ordered the city gate to be closed, if he didn't have his own order, even the messenger sent by Liu Bei could not let go of the checkpoint without authorization, and he had to report to Du Ruhui before making a decision. If Guan Yu chases after him, even if he uses force, he can't let him go.

The general guarding the pass is none other than Bian Xi, who was killed by Guan Yu when he rode alone for thousands of miles in the previous life, this time because Liu Yu recruited troops and horses, he went to Hanzhong from Luoyang to defect to Liu Yu, and was promoted to a partial general, responsible for guarding the Dingjun Mountain checkpoint.

After getting the report from the soldiers, Bian Xi secretly took the meteor hammer, took a thousand soldiers to the checkpoint to look, and asked loudly: "Who is coming?" Can there be a general Liu Deyu warrant? ”

Guan Yu was furious and shouted on the horse: "Look at who I am?" Guan is a powerful earthquake in Huaxia, even the king of Hanzhong is here, and he doesn't dare to ask me for a talisman, and you and other rats dare to ask me for a talisman? ”

Bian Xi sneered: "I'm sorry for this general, people are similar, I've only been in Hanzhong for a year, I don't know you, how do I know if you are General Guan Yunchang?" ”

Someone on the city wall knew Guan Yu and reminded Bian Xi: "This is General Guan, with red phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, big red face, and three-foot long hair, who is not General Guan Yu?" ”

Bian Xi angrily reprimanded: "Use your reminder to wait, Ben will have his own ideas!" ”

It turns out that this Bian Xi is also a person who is good at figuring out and being opportunistic, otherwise he would not have come from Luoyang to defect to Liu Yu, who lacked a major general. In the past two years, Liu Yu has been secretly building checkpoints in Hanzhong and increasing troops to guard them, and Bian Xi has guessed Liu Yu's psychology almost the same.

And when Liu Yu passed the customs last night, he specially proposed that if Guan Yu passed the customs, he could not let go even if he used force, so Bian Xi saw that Guan Yu was only one person, so he pondered that he would lead his troops to rush up and capture him, and he would definitely be able to win Liu Yu's favor. Anyway, after Liu Yu gets the power of Shangyong, nine times out of ten, he will tear his face with Liu Bei, and he will seek wealth and wealth in danger, so when will he not gamble at this time?

"He only has a single horse, and I have 2,000 soldiers in the pass, what are you afraid of him doing?"

Bian Xi made up his mind, lest Guan Yu turn around and run away, and arched his hand at the gate: "Please rest for a while, I will take a few old soldiers who have followed the king for many years to go down to the city to take a closer look, is Your Excellency General Guan Yunchang?" ”

Guan Yu immediately crossed the knife, stroked his beard and said: "There is only one Guan Yunchang in this world, if you want to see it, come and see!" ”

Bian Xi immediately led a thousand soldiers to rush down and walked out of the Dingjun Mountain checkpoint.

came to Guan Yu and laughed at the sky, and waved the big knife in his hand: "Come on, arrest this guy who is pretending to be Guan Yu!" When you turn back, General Deyu will be rewarded! ”

"No!"

Most of the soldiers guarding the Dingjun Mountain checkpoint were recruited by Liu Yu, and many people didn't know Guan Yu, so they immediately swarmed up to surround Guan Yu, shouting in unison, "Get off the horse and be bound, spare you from death!" (To be continued......)
