Chapter 647: The Battle of Guandu (8)
What made Guan Yu strange was that he was in a hurry to come back, just to tell his sister-in-law about Yecheng, which could basically confirm that Liu Bei was in Yuan Shao now, so that her sister-in-law could be happy and happy.
But I didn't want to, my sister-in-law Liang Lan didn't look happy at all, but looked at him with a more gloomy look.
In particular, Liang Lan's vague and resentful words made Guan Yu a little at a loss, and he didn't know how to react.
Liang Lan said: "Second uncle, sister-in-law is really so annoying, let second uncle, you are so anxious to send your sister-in-law back to your eldest brother Liu Bei's side?" ”
At that time, Guan Yu really stared at it and stayed for a long time.
Fortunately, Liang Lan may have reacted and said something that should not be said, sneered, relieved Guan Yu's embarrassment, and explained: "Second uncle, now you are the sister-in-law's reliance, you actually risked your life and single-handedly entered the military formation of tens of thousands of military horses, in order to ask Zhang He about the whereabouts of your eldest brother Liu Bei?" Is it worth it? Have you ever thought about what happened to you, how did a woman like your sister-in-law live in Cao Cao's barracks? So, your eldest brother's affairs are not urgent, as long as you are well, you can protect your sister-in-law, understand? ”
"Uh...... Sister-in-law, this, this is just to help Cao Cao ......" Guan Yu wanted to explain.
However, Liang Lan interrupted Guan Yu's speech, with a dignified and pretty face, and said to Guan Yu with a dignified face: "Second uncle, you, you are really too upright, you don't want to think about it, can Cao Cao really let you go, Second Uncle?" You still told Cao Cao so much. You told Cao Cao that he already knew the whereabouts of your eldest brother, and he might be keeping an eye on us even more now. So. You can't make another time next time, and you can't say anything in front of Cao Cao at will. You don't think about it, Cao Cao spent so much effort to get you to vote for him. Will he go to waste, can you leave easily? ”
"This ......" Guan Yu felt that what his sister-in-law said was also reasonable, if Cao Cao could easily let him go, then why did he have to coerce his sister-in-law to make him surrender? Wouldn't it be good to let him go with his sister-in-law earlier?
"Second uncle, it can be seen that Cao Cao really likes you. After all, there are few brave generals like you in the world, Second Uncle, and if Cao Cao has your help, then it will be even more beneficial to his career. If you stay in Cao Ying with peace of mind. Maybe there won't be danger, and neither will your sister-in-law and me, if you really make up your mind to leave, it's hard to say. Liang Lan said to Guan Yu earnestly: "Although your sister-in-law is a woman's family. But. In the past, your sister-in-law's family was also a businessman's family, and most of the people in the family were out on the road, and when they came back, they would tell your sister-in-law about some things they encountered outside. Especially some celebrities, I think Cao Cao is really a generation of heroes as some book reviewers say. However, there have been facts for a long time. Cao Cao is like this, ruthless. You can't be a master and servant with him, you can't be friends, and he will never let you become enemies with him. Therefore, the second uncle must be careful and must not fall for Cao Cao's tricks. ”
"Thank you sister-in-law for mentioning it, Guan understands, I will be careful, and now it seems that we can only stay in Cao Ying first." Guan Yu respectfully thanked Liang Lan.
"Okay, the second uncle is in a big battle, I'm afraid I'm tired, let's go and rest for a while. Now Cao Cao, with the help of the second uncle, should have won the battle, and in this barracks, it should be safe, and the second uncle does not have to worry about any danger to the sister-in-law. Liang Lan invited Guan Yu out of the camp.
After inviting Guan Yu away, Liang Lan suddenly threw herself on the small bed and covered her face on the quilt.
At this moment, she felt that her face was as hot as red, and her heart was beating non-stop.
She gently smacked herself in her heart, secretly scolding herself for being shameless......
Well, during this period of time, since Liang Lan got along with Guan Yu, unconsciously, her heart had some slight changes in her heart.
Many nights, she woke up in shock, only to see her back that made her feel at ease. Although there was a tent across it, the sight of the majestic figure guarding her tent all night would make her heart feel relieved and calm. I don't know how many nights she has had, she likes to be dumbfounded through the tent, looking at the figure that has not moved all night, sometimes, when she is watching, there will always be a kind of honey in her heart, a little sweet.
Well, when she was in danger, there was such a loyal guard who watched over her every inch, how could she not move her heart?
As Cao Cao made fun of Guan Yu and said, as a woman, it is indeed the happiness of this woman to have such a man to protect her.
Now, Liang Lan always likes to compare her husband Liu Bei with this figure.
Her own real man, but abandoned her like a weed, and followed her real man, but never made her feel at ease and happy. On the contrary, it made her feel more panicked, and made her feel embarrassed more often. How could that man ever bring him a moment of peace of mind?
However, the man in front of her is like a treasure to her, guarding her without fear of danger, treating her like a kiss, respecting and loving her, reassuring her, making her down-to-earth, and even making her feel happy.
For Liang Lan, for a woman like her, in her heart, she even hopes that the days of being cared for by Guan Yu can go on like this. In her heart, she didn't care more and more, and she didn't care if she could return to Liu Bei's side.
Even, now, as soon as she heard Guan Yu say that she was going to return her to Liu Bei's side, she felt a little panicked and irritable.
In her heart, she subconsciously hoped that she and Guan Yu would live like this for the rest of their lives than to return to Liu Bei's side.
Therefore, she couldn't even control herself, and she was a little speechless to Guan Yu, and actually said something full of meaning to Guan Yu. Fortunately, Guan Yu was a nerd and couldn't understand the meaning of what she said. Otherwise, she would probably be ashamed to death.
Of course, it's not terrible to be ashamed, what is terrible is that Liang Lan is worried that Guan Yu will misunderstand that she is a woman who does not abide by women's morals and is watery. That's it.
Liang Lan, who was lying under the quilt and hiding her face with her jade hands, secretly warned herself in her heart. Let yourself never be so gaffe in the future.
It's not important to be sorry for that man, the important thing is that Liang Lan cares about what Guan Yu will think of her.
Guan Yu left Liang Lan's camp tent, returned to the small military tent that belonged to him not far away, fetched a bucket of cold water, and drenched it from head to foot.
Well. This is not Guan Yu to clean off the blood stains on his body, in fact, there are not many blood stains on his body. The blood splattered by the enemy soldiers he slain, blocked by his protective true qi, would not have splashed on his body at all. Even if there were, it was just a little bloodstain.
Guan Yu is going to use cold water to sober himself up. Calm yourself down.
Well. Guan Yu is loyal, but he really doesn't stay stupid.
This sister-in-law ...... That, it's really hard to say, it's really beautiful, Guan Yu really doesn't dare to look at it more, that smile and cheek make Guan Yu feel a different kind of attraction. The faint eyes like clear water were glanced at by her. Guan Yu felt that his whole body would tremble.
Well, with Guan Yu's force. With his senses, with his ear power, how could he not know that this sister-in-law was secretly staring at her many times? At night, even through a tent tent, Guan Yu could clearly sense when his sister-in-law woke up, when she turned over, and when she was looking at him blankly.
Seriously, Guan Yu really didn't know how to react to being watched by his sister-in-law. In general, it will make him feel a little strange in his heart, saying that it is awkward, but he can't say it, and sometimes, he will also feel an inexplicable impulse that will make him irritable.
Well, when he gets irritable, a certain part of his body will always stand up, which makes him feel embarrassed. He didn't dare to move all night, just so that his sister-in-law wouldn't notice that something was wrong with him.
Just now, he didn't dare to look at his sister-in-law's eyes, but he accidentally saw a touch of snow white on his chest, which made Guan Yu extremely uneasy, especially when his sister-in-law smiled, and when he smiled, the moment when the bulge was amazingly rippling, Guan Yu almost wanted to gouge out his eyes at once...... Tell you to mess around?
Guan Yu, known as Guan Gong in the world, is called a martial saint and is worshiped by millions of people in later generations. It can be said that in the minds of future generations, he has been regarded by God as a belief, a god.
But now, the real Guan Yu is just a person, a real person with flesh and blood and his own thoughts.
He is strong in martial arts, but he is still a person, and he is definitely not a god who does not eat fireworks in the world.
In his heart, in addition to the love for his brothers, there is also the love of the monarch and the minister, as well as the affection of the family, and the need for love.
For love, it is what any normal person will crave, even if they don't know what love is, but for women, they will always have a hazy desire.
A person like Guan Yu, a person like him who is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, if he meets a woman who can touch his heart, he can't help but have some kind of longing for this woman.
Now, it is undeniable that Guan Yu to Liang Lan, or Liang Lan to Guan Yu, between the two, there is already a secret affection, and they have not yet pierced that layer of paper.
Of course, the most important thing that stands between them now is the fact that Liang Lan is Guan Yu's sister-in-law, this fact is like a galaxy in the sky, dividing their feelings, so that none of them dare to have the slightest Yuyue, for the time being, they can still keep their hearts.
The cold water cooled Guan Yu, and he was also like Liang Lan, secretly warning himself that he must not have the slightest thought about his sister-in-law. He cautiously told himself to find an opportunity as soon as possible to bring his sister-in-law back to Liu Bei, and then, go their own way, and never think of Liang Lan again.
Not to mention these two people who seem to be trapped by love.
Let's talk about Zhang He, he was escorted by his own soldiers and generals to break through and escape, and fled all the way back and forth for dozens of miles to get rid of Cao Cao's pursuers.
This waiting, the military horses that follow him are definitely not more than 10,000, the entire army of 100,000, there are only this few people left, Zhang He's heart, that frustration. However, the reality is already like this, and there is nothing he can do.
Fortunately, he sent military horses to collect the fleeing deserters, and finally let him gather nearly 20,000 horses. In addition, from the mouths of some sergeants who escaped, it seems that there are not many Cao Cao's military horses that attacked and killed them, and at most there are only about 50,000 men and horses. So. Many of their brothers escaped the pursuit of Cao's army.
Knowing the truth, Zhang He was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood.
A whole 100,000 troops and horses by himself. was actually defeated by Cao Cao with only 50,000 horses?
Well, Cao Cao did only dispatch 50,000 horses, he had to leave 10,000 men to guard the White Horse City, and the other 10,000 horses to stay in the camp, so there were only 50,000 horses dispatched, and the men and horses who ambushed Zhang He's camp. It's only 30,000 horses.
It's a pity that Zhang He woke up too late now.
In desperation, he could only gather the rout on the side. While fleeing to a small town near the mouth of the river, he thought about how to report this defeat to Yuan Shao in Liyang.
But before Zhang He could return to the ferry where they had crossed the Qing River, he saw Yuan Shaozheng leading an army all over the mountains and fields.
Seeing this, Zhang He's heart was even more bitter. This Yuan Shao. If you don't come sooner or later, if you come one step earlier, how can your own army be defeated by Cao Cao? At that time, Cao Cao can be destroyed in one fell swoop, and if he can come yesterday, it will not be possible for him to defeat today. Now it's coming, it's too late.
Of course, what Zhang He has to think about now is how to report his defeat to Yuan Shao.
Zhang He is a person who knows how to judge the situation very well. It's really alert and clever.
He saw Yuan Shao's handsome banner coming in the army, and he could almost meet Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao could see it, Zhang Heyuan shouted at the lord, then rolled his eyes and fell directly from the war horse.
Zhang He's personal soldiers and generals hurriedly shouted at the general and helped Zhang He up, but Zhang He pretended to be thorough, completely fainted, and ignored the sergeant's shouts.
Such a situation was naturally seen by the oncoming army. Yuan Shao also hurriedly came to inspect it, and was taken aback when he saw that it was his vanguard general Zhang He who fell from his horse and fainted.
Looking at the soldiers who joined him with Zhang He, everyone seemed to be sluggish, and they all looked dejected, Yuan Shao asked, only from the mouths of these generals who fled back that this Zhang He actually ate a defeated general, 100,000 military horses, and only 20,000 people and horses fled back.
After asking Zhang He's 100,000 horses and horses to be defeated by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao was furious and was about to wave his army to kill White Horse City and destroy Cao Cao.
Those sergeants who reported to Cao Cao, they didn't dare to say how they were defeated, at least they didn't dare to say that their 100,000 military horses were defeated by Cao Cao's 50,000 horses, if they really wanted to say this, Yuan Shao, who was angry, might directly cut off the bird's head of the guy who was talking to him.
Just when Yuan Shao was about to wave his army to kill White Horse City, Zhang He woke up "leisurely" and pretended to be weak to stop Yuan Shao.
Zhang He didn't dare to let Yuan Shao lead the army to White Horse City immediately, because as soon as Yuan Shao arrived in White Horse City, he might see how many military horses Cao Cao had and let Yuan Shao explain how his 100,000 military horses were defeated, and Zhang He didn't dare to guarantee what Yuan Shao would do to him.
It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, since Yuan Shao's career, Yuan Shao's reliance on Zhang He is not as important as when he was in Luoyang before. For Yuan Shao now, the people who can get along with him more are some literati and scholars, generals like Zhang He, who can only lead the army for Yuan Shao in normal times, and it is impossible to be as close to Yuan Shao as before. When the war was lost, the first thing to be held accountable was the general who led the army, and when he wanted to kill the commander of the army, Yuan Shao would no longer remember how he worked hard for Yuan Shao before. If you really want to be killed by Yuan Shao, that is to say, you will be killed, and there is no place to seek justice.
"What's wrong with you? What the hell is going on? Yesterday, you sent a newspaper saying that Cao Cao only led 50,000 horses to Baima City, and the Cao army that was originally guarding in Baima Town was only 70,000 horses, so how could your 100,000 army be suddenly defeated? Yuan Shao seemed to suppress his anger and asked Zhang He.
You must know that Yuan Shao is bound to destroy Cao this time, but now that his army has not yet reached Cao Cao's array, he has been defeated for a while, and he has lost so many military horses at once. This is called a disadvantage for teachers. really made Tian Feng's old immortal right. This made Yuan Shao feel a little embarrassed.
And when Zhang Yiyi heard Yuan Shao's question, he couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, sure enough, the current Yuan Shao is no longer the master who can barely be polite and virtuous in the past. He didn't care about his injuries first, he first asked how he was defeated.
However, Zhang He also saw it through, and he was just silent. For this Lord, he has adapted to it.
"Lord, don't be impulsive, attack White Horse City, please wait a while, and listen to the end of the general explain to the lord that this defeat is not Zhang's crime of losing the war." Zhang He said to Yuan Shao.
"Huh? Could it be that Cao Cao already has a large number of reinforcements arriving? Are you defeated and retreated? Hey? You're hurt? Not too much of a problem, right? Yuan Shao thought about it in his heart, and at this moment he also thought that Zhang He's defeat might have another reason, his expression eased slightly, and he pretended to be concerned about Zhang He's body.
"Out of the way." Zhang He squeezed out a little smile and said to Yuan Shao: "Thank you for your care." Lord, yesterday's letter, I believe the lord also received it, right? Yesterday, the general killed Cao Cao's generals, Song Xian, and Wei Xu successively, and then defeated Xu Huang around the twentieth rendezvous. ”
"Well, this information has been received, and you urge me to lead the army to White Horse City as soon as possible, but you also know that the grain and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops are not easy to deploy, isn't it? Hasn't our army already crossed the Qing River and is heading for White Horse City? Yuan Shao made an excuse for delaying the fighter. (To be continued......)
