Following the sound of the stream, hundreds of people ran towards the stream not far away.

Following a group of remnants of the Qingzhou Army, Sun Guan ran not far when he saw a clear stream flowing slowly in the forest in front of him.

His throat was dry and smoking, and when he saw the stream, he still had the slightest concern, and the pace under his feet was much faster than before.

Hundreds of remnants of the Qingzhou Army rushed to the side of the stream, lying on the ground one by one, reaching out to pick up the stream water and filling it in their mouths.

Some people were thirsty and felt that it was not enough to drink water with their hands, so they simply put their faces on the stream and drank it in large gulps.

Running to the side of the stream, Sun Guan also knelt on the ground all of a sudden, picked up the clear water from the stream, lowered his head and poured it with both hands.

The cold water entered the mouth and slid down the throat and into the esophagus, and the thirst was immediately dispelled, and the whole body seemed to be comfortable.

Just when Sun Guan and hundreds of Qingzhou soldiers under his command were lying on the side of the stream drinking water, many Qin soldiers wearing big red armor suddenly burst out of the surrounding forests.

The Qin army that rushed out quickly surrounded this group of remnants, and the Pu knives in their hands flashed with a cold light under the sunlight.

Countless Qin troops suddenly appeared beside him, and Sun Guan and the remnants of the Qingzhou Army under his command were all stunned, and no one thought of picking up weapons to resist.

The soldiers of the Qin army surrounded this group of remnants, and a Qin army general walked out from behind them.

This person pressed the hilt of the sword, wearing a suit of gold scale armor, walked out from behind the soldiers of the Qin army, looked at Sun Guan coldly, and shouted coldly: "Sun Guan, if you don't surrender at this time, when will you wait?" ”

The general who came out from behind the Qin army was none other than Lu Bu, who led the army and stationed it between Xuanyuan Pass and Songshan for many days.

Seeing Lu Bu, Sun Guan slowly stood up and looked up at the sky.

After being silent for a moment, he suddenly laughed a few times, and said self-deprecatingly: "I really didn't expect that tens of thousands of troops would be destroyed in one fell swoop!" When I saw the general, I didn't even have the ability to draw a sword......

"Sun Guan, King Qin Rende, if you surrender, you will not be embarrassed!" Staring at Sun Guan, Lu Bu said to him in a cold voice: "If you don't descend at this time, can't you be bent on death?" ”

"Warm and kind, the last general will understand!" Shaking his head with a wry smile, Sun Guan said to Lu Bu: "A certain person was a Yellow Turban thief in Qingzhou back then, and he and his soldiers surrendered to Cao Gong, and received the kindness of Cao Gong, and it was difficult to repay one of them for a hundred deaths!" Although the King of Qin is benevolent, how can he rebel against Cao Gong? ”

Turning his head to look at the soldiers of the Qin army behind him, Sun Guan slowly closed his eyes, sighed lightly before opening his eyes again, and said to Lu Bu: "The last general only has one thing to beg Wen Hou, and I hope Wen Hou will agree!" ”

From Sun Guan's words, Lu Bu could already hear that he was bent on death, and he had some respect for him in his heart.

Hearing him say that he had something to ask for, Lu Bu said: "The general has something, but it doesn't hurt to say it, if he can do it, he will definitely agree!" ”

"A mountain fire, tens of thousands of troops have become a wandering soul in the mountains!" Turning his head to look at the scorched hill in the distance, Sun Guan said to Lu Bu: "There are only a few hundred people left under the command of the last general, and I hope that the general will leave a way for them to live after the death of the last general!" ”

"General!" As soon as Sun Guan's words fell, hundreds of Qingzhou soldiers who escaped death with him wept silently one by one and called out one after another.

Glancing at those Qingzhou army soldiers, Lu Bu nodded, although he was speechless, he had already promised Sun Guan's plea.

Seeing Lu Bu nodding, Sun Guan looked up again and laughed, and shouted loudly: "Gong Cao, the last general is incompetent and failed to hold Songshan!" Death is an atonement today! ”

As he spoke, he drew the long sword from his waist, swiped it horizontally, and swept it around his neck.

Lu Bu didn't stop him.

Sun Guan's words have been said very clearly, the army was defeated, and he could only thank Cao Cao with a death.

The long sword slashed, and a stream of blood gushed out from Sun Guan's neck.

The hand holding the sword slowly loosened, the blood in his neck was still gushing, and the blood-stained sword had fallen to the ground.

The body fell straight backwards, and when Sun Guan fell to the ground, hundreds of remnants of the Qingzhou Army, who were already crying, knelt down and rubbed beside his corpse one by one.

Looking at Sun Guan's corpse surrounded by the remnants of the Qingzhou Army, the muscles of Lu Bu's cheeks twitched violently twice, and he waved his hand at those remnants and said, "I promised General Sun, spare your life!" Wait and run for your life! Don't die for Cao Cao again! ”

The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, who were surrounded by the Qin army, were like fish on the chopping board at this time, as long as Lu Bu gave an order, the soldiers of the Qin army would definitely rush up and kill them on the spot.

Lu Bu's words are undoubtedly an amnesty for the remnants of the Qingzhou Army.

Hundreds of people gradually stopped crying, kowtowed to Sun Guan's body one by one, supported each other, and walked down the hill one after another.

Looking at the hundreds of remnants of the Qingzhou Army who had left, Zhang Liao, who had followed Lu Bu here, approached him and asked in a low voice, "Wen Hou, can you ...... these people if you let these people go?"

"I'm just going to give Cao Cao a message!" Turning his head to look at Zhang Liao, Lu Bu said to him: "If Cao Cao didn't know about the battle of Songshan and the annihilation of the Qingzhou Army, how could we establish greater feats?" ”

Lu Bu's words made Zhang Liao stunned.

He had already had the intention to let go of these remnants of the Qingzhou Army, and Sun Guan's request was just to give Lu Bu a reason.

In this expedition, Lu Bu did not assert any more, but gave Gao Shun the credit for exterminating the Qingzhou army, and he only led the troops in advance to intercept and kill Sun Guan and others on the way to retreat.

Looking at Lu Bu, Zhang Liao had a feeling.

The Wen Hou in front of him, since he was recalled to Luoyang by King Qin to think about it behind closed doors, the whole person seems to have matured.

His pursuit of merit may have been blazing, but it was no longer like before, he just blindly pursued merit, and did not consider the thoughts in King Qin's heart at all.

After the remnants of the Qingzhou Army left, looking at the body of Sun Guan lying alone by the stream, Lu Bu instructed the soldiers of the Qin Army behind him: "Bury General Sun!" ”

A group of Qin soldiers responded, and some of them immediately dug a tomb in a nearby place with relatively better terrain.

On the battlefield, it is impossible to prepare a coffin, and the so-called thick burial is just to choose a good terrain, wrap the body in a straw mat, and bury it on the spot.

The soldiers of the Qin army moved quickly, and it didn't take long for them to dig a tomb for Sun Guan.

The two Qin soldiers found a straw mat, wrapped Sun Guan's body briefly, and tied it around his waist and head and feet with hemp rope, and then lifted the body and walked to the dug tomb.

Lightly put Sun Guan's body into the tomb, more than a dozen Qin soldiers filled the pit with soil, and after a while, not far from the stream, there was an additional tomb.

Looking at the more than ten Qin troops burying Sun Guan, Lu Bu didn't have the slightest expression on his face.

He knew very well that in this expedition, the Qin army was bound to win against Xu Du, and he would break through many in the future, and he didn't know how many people he would meet like Sun Guan who would rather die than betray the old master.

"Warm wait!" Watching the tombs pile up little by little, Gao Shun's voice came from Lu Busheng.

Hearing Gao Shun speak behind him, Lu Bu turned his head and said with a grin: "General Gao has a good fire!" Tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops, but few escaped! ”

A fire burned the Qingzhou army, and Gao Shun was also quite proud in his heart.

Hearing Lu Bu say this, he clenched his fists and bowed in response: "Wen Hou praised, the last general was only concerned about the thoroughness of the soldiers, so he had to make such a ruthless move!" ”

"Whose tomb is this?" Lu Bu just nodded and smiled slightly, without words, Gao Shun, who saw Sun Guan's tomb, asked him a little puzzled.

Turning his face to Sun Guan's tomb, Lu Bu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "A certain leader came here, he wanted to surrender Sun Guan, but he didn't want him to die rather than surrender, but he was also a man!" ”

Knowing that Sun Guanning would not die and commit suicide by the stream, Gao Shun also sighed in his heart.

Gao Shun broke the Qingzhou army, and Lu Bu led the army to advance towards Xudu, not to mention, and said that the 20,000 Qin army led by Wei Yan arrived near Xudu and had already changed into the armor of the Qingzhou army.

Since the leader left Luoyang, Wei Yan has continuously sent scouts to the Songshan area to investigate the progress of the army under Lu Bu.

Seeing that he was about to advance to the vicinity of Xudu, he ordered the army to be stationed, waiting for the news from the Songshan area, and rushed up from the back of the team on a fast horse.

On horseback was a man dressed in the deep clothes of the people.

In order to avoid being seen by Cao Jun's scouts, every time he sent scouts, Wei Yan would let them change into the people's deep clothes.

The man rode his horse to Wei Yan's side, and did not dismount, but clasped his fists and said to Wei Yan: "General Qiyu, General Gao Shun led Yulinwei and set a fire on Songshan Mountain, and the 70,000 Qingzhou troops were all burned. Sun Guan committed suicide, and Lu Wenhou has led the army to advance to Xudu! ”

Knowing that Gao Shun had defeated the Qingzhou Army, the corners of Wei Yan's mouth pulled up slightly, and he waved his hand at the scout.

It wasn't until the scout rode his horse that he said to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were accompanying him on the expedition: "Two generals, in your opinion, when is it appropriate for our army to approach Xudu?" ”

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were already military generals, and if they were to lead the army to fight the enemy, they would not be ambiguous at all.

But if you let them come up with advice, you are really looking for the wrong person.

The two glanced at each other, both of them looked blank and set their eyes on Wei Yan's face again.

Graning at Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Wei Yan raised his hand to Xu Du and said to the two: "When the Wen Hou army comes, it will be the time when our army enters Xu Du!" ”

Looking at Wei Yan blankly, Yan Liang said with some uncertainty: "Wen Hou has always paid attention to merit, how can he give us the credit for defeating Xu Du?" It's better for the general to make other plans early! ”
