On both sides of the path, there are craggy rocks everywhere, and a little farther away, a patch of trees supporting branches in the night, looking from a distance, it is like many demons with teeth and claws, which may pounce on them at any time and tear Gongsun Chan and others into their stomachs.

The deeper you go, the more difficult the path becomes, and the rocks on both sides of the road are almost crowded together, and at the end of the road, the path is so narrow that it can only accommodate two horses side by side.

The Jizhou army slaughtered by Lu Bu was already far away by Gongsun Zan and others.

A touch of morning light penetrated through the narrow gaps on both sides and at the top of the path, illuminating the way forward for Gongsun Chan and the others who had walked for most of the night.

As the sun climbed, the sunlight became more and more intense, and gradually, the sunlight that penetrated the path became a little dazzling. However, the road was not as narrow as before, and there was room for six or seven fast horses to march side by side.

Gongsun Zhan, who was at the front of the group on horseback, raised his hand and set it up into a pergola to avoid direct sunlight on his eyes.

"Former general, we have already walked far, and the path is much wider now, so it is better to rest for a while!" Following behind Gongsun Zhan, Guan Jing first turned his head and glanced behind him, then stretched his neck to look ahead, and said to Gongsun Zhan: "This path is long and narrow, and it still hasn't come to the end after walking all night. ”

"Hmm!" Knowing that if there was no mount, the future road would be difficult, Gongsun Chan nodded, raised his arm, and said to the people behind him: "According to the words of Changshi, I will wait here to rest for a while, and then go on the road." ”

Everyone did not respond, and after Gongsun Chan ordered him to rest in place, they just looked at Gongsun Chan silently, until Gongsun Chan turned over and jumped off the horse, and everyone dismounted one after another.

After getting off the horse, and waiting for a personal soldier to lead the mount away, Gongsun Chan searched for stones in all directions, and sat down with his back against the mountain rocks on the side of the road.

After sitting down, he looked up at the sky above him, which was almost as thin as a gap, and exhaled a long breath.

"Why did the former general sigh?" Hearing Gongsun Zhan's sigh, Guan Jing walked up to him, first bowed to him with his fists, and then asked with concern.

"Heaven is dead to me!" Shaking his head and sighing, Gongsun Zhan said with a sad face: "I think that at the beginning, I was also the dominant party in Jizhou, and Yuan Shao Xiaoer fought with us for several years, and in the end, we won and returned." Now we have offended the king of Luoyang, and the Jizhou army, which was once prosperous, is now a piece of armor that has been killed! ”

Although Guan Jing said that martial arts cannot set the country and secure the country, and literature cannot help the world, but he has a benefit, he has been by Gongsun Zhan's side for several years, whenever Gongsun Chan is worried, he always has a way to make Gongsun Chan forget his troubles and clean up his mood again. It is precisely because of this that he was valued by Gongsun Zhan.

"Don't worry, general!" Seeing that Gongsun Zhan was depressed, Guan Jing clenched his fists and bowed, first saluted him again, and then said to him: "I just have to leave here and get to the outside of the gate." Ally with the Hu people outside the Guan, and wait for the next day, borrow the soldiers of the Hu people to return to the Guannai, and the general's former majesty will surely reappear! ”

"If that's the case, the long history should be the first credit!" Guan Jing's words happened to reach Gongsun Zhan's heart, he nodded, sighed lightly, first answered, and then said to Guan Jing with a little sadness in his expression: "It's just that there are only a dozen people left under the command of this general, I don't know if that Hu people will despise us and others......"

"The last general has been ordered by the military division to wait for the former general for a long time!" Before Gongsun Zhan's words were finished, a heroic voice came from front of them.

Hearing this voice, Gongsun Chan and the others were shocked, and hurriedly stood up and looked forward following the sound.

At a glance, the path was like a thin straight line, not bent at all. But at the same time as the voice fell, a burly general wearing a green battle robe and a dark green scarf on his head and a red face walked out from the side of the path. Obviously, in the place where the burly general walked out, there was either a fork in the road, or there was a chamber where people could hide.

Gongsun Zhan, the red-faced general who came out on horseback, recognized it, and he knew that this general was Guan Yu, a fierce general under Liu Bei.

Seeing Guan Yu, Gongsun Zhan's brows tightened, and he gritted his teeth and asked Guan Yu with endless resentment in his tone: "General Ben has always treated Uncle Huang well, why is Uncle Huang an enemy of General Ben?" Now that the general is cornered, why should the general be forced to force each other? ”

"The elder brother is a descendant of the Han family, if the general is loyal to the Han family, the elder brother will not be disappointed!" Riding a war horse that was not very tall, Guan Yu slowly walked forward with a knife, and said to Gongsun Zhan: "But the general is an enemy of the king of Luoyang, the king of Luoyang is the orthodoxy of the Han family, and the general coerces the son of heaven to order the hearts of the princes, how can my brother not know?" Today, a certain person is waiting here, that is, to eradicate the rebel ministers for the Han family, the general should not say more, just accept the order! ”

After listening to Guan Yu's words, Gongsun Zhan's face was red and white for a while, and he was originally annoyed that he was blinded by his desire for power, and went to provoke Liu Wei, so that he forced his family into a dead end. Now even Liu Bei, the former ally, did not hesitate to turn against him in order to please the King of Luoyang, how could he not have more pathos in his heart?

"There are more than a dozen people waiting for me, and there is only one general, so I can't help but talk a little big!" Knowing that Guan Yu had some skills, Gongsun Chan was still a little flustered in his heart, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and said to Guan Yu: "If the general is willing to let Zan go, he will definitely repay him in the future!" ”

In the face of Gongsun Zhan's begging for mercy, Guan Yu did not speak, but smiled slightly, and a sneering smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Although he didn't speak, that smile was a great humiliation for Gongsun Zhan.

Seeing his smile, Gongsun Zhan knew that Guan Yu would not let him go, his cheeks were suddenly red with shame, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "The big-eared child has no faith, if it wasn't for the support of General Ben that day, how would he be this plain appearance?" Now in order to rely on the powerful, he actually sent a red-faced puppet to ......"

"Don't be noisy, look at the knife!" Gongsun Zhan uncovered Liu Bei's scars, and scolded Guan Yu for being a "red-faced horseman", how could Guan Yu endure it? Without waiting for Gongsun Chan to finish speaking, he clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, and rushed towards Gongsun Chan, who was standing with his back against the rock.

The more than ten Jizhou troops who followed Gongsun Chan to the path saw Guan Yu rushing towards Gongsun Chan, and they didn't have time to get on their horses, so they shouted in unison and rushed towards Guan Yu.

Holding a big knife in his hand, Guan Yu knew that the path was narrow at the moment, and the big knife couldn't be used at all. When the more than ten Jizhou troops rushed towards him, he raised his big knife and threw it at Gongsun Zhan.

Guan Yu's big knife weighs dozens of pounds, and ordinary people don't say that if they throw it out, even if they lift it up and pick it up a few times, they will be tired and panting.

But Guan Yu's action of throwing out the big knife was extremely chic, and the heavy big knife made a "whirring" sound and flew straight towards Gongsun Zhan.

"General be careful!" Just when the big knife was about to fly in front of Gongsun Zhan, Guan Jing on the side shouted and jumped up.

Guan Jing jumped out, just with his back to the big knife.

The big knife full of strength in mid-air pierced Guan Jing's heart with a "poof", and his whole person flew up and rushed towards Gongsun Zhan.

The big knife pierced through Guan Jing's back and penetrated through his chest, but the momentum was also much slower due to Guan Jing's blocking.

Seeing that Guan Jing had a big knife on his body and flew towards him, Gongsun Zhan hurriedly retreated and got out of the way.

Pushed by the big knife, the force on the knife slowed down, Guan Jing fell to the ground, and his mouth was gurgling blood. Although he is a mediocre minister, Guan Jing is loyal to Gongsun Zhan, until the end of his life, he also used his flesh and blood to block this killing blow for Gongsun Zhan!

Looking down at Guan Jing, who had blocked a knife for him, staggered out of the stumbling out, and was lying on the ground, the muscles in Gongsun Zhan's face twitched violently a few times, and he suddenly pulled out his sword, raised his arm, pointed at Guan Yu with the tip of the sword, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Guan Yu, you and I will not share the sky from today onwards!" ”

Guan Yu didn't pay attention to the roaring Gongsun Zhan, and at the same time as he threw the big sword, he had already drawn the saber from his waist, and swung his sword to fight with the dozen or so Jizhou troops who rushed towards him.

More than a dozen Jizhou soldiers are not ordinary soldiers, they are all personal guards who protect Gongsun Zan on weekdays, and their martial arts are much stronger than ordinary soldiers.

Rushing to Guan Yu's approach, more than a dozen Jizhou soldiers let out a roar in unison, brandished their long swords, and stabbed at Guan Yu.

Their stabbing is not disorganized, but very organized. The long sword in the hands of most of them was to take Guan Yu directly, but there were five or six people who didn't pay attention to Guan Yu on horseback, and the long sword stabbed straight at the mount under Guan Yu's crotch.

Cavalry charge, weapons should not be too short, especially the military generals who lead the battle, if they are good at riding horses, the blades they hold are much longer than ordinary cavalry.

Although Guan Yu's figure was slightly thinner than Dian Wei and the others, compared with ordinary soldiers, it was still a lot thicker.

In addition, Liu Bei's army has always lacked horses, and the war horses under his crotch are even weaker and thinner, which makes it very difficult to carry him. Under the constraints of many factors, fighting on horseback is not an opportunity for Guan Yu.

Facing the more than ten Jizhou troops rushing towards him, Guan Yu did not panic in the slightest, when more than a dozen long swords stabbed at him and the war horse under his crotch, he shouted, and the long sword in his hand hung straight down, and circled around his side.

This spin actually formed a solid barrier beside him and the war horse, and the blades in the hands of the Jizhou army were blocked by the long sword he swung.

Just when the more than ten Jizhou military blades were blocked by Guan Yu, and his arm was still numb from being shocked, Guan Yu's second sword was swung out again.

The second sword he swung was similar to the first, but although the previous sword was spinning around his body, the tip of the sword was only to block. And this sword, but the tip of the sword is pointed at the Jizhou army, the purpose is to take their lives.

The long sword drew a complete arc of light, and the tip of the sword brushed against the throats of more than a dozen Jizhou soldiers.

When Guan Yu put away the long sword, held the reins in one hand, and carried the long sword behind him with the other hand, the more than ten Jizhou soldiers were already splattered with blood in their throats and fell to the ground one after another.

Just swung out two swords, and killed more than a dozen Jizhou troops in one fell swoop, and just drew out his long sword, Gongsun Zhan, who was about to rush towards Guan Yu, suddenly stopped, looking at the killing god who was blocking his way with panic and stunned.

"Former general, do you want the last general to send you on the road, or do you want to go on the road yourself?" The long sword was behind him, Guan Yu was still riding on the horse, Danfeng's eyes narrowed into a narrow slit, and he asked Gongsun Zhan in a cold tone.
