Chapter 292
It is always easy to lose yourself in success, especially when you sit in that supreme position, it is inevitable to be complacent.
The new Great Chanyu seems to have forgotten one thing. They are currently fighting the Han army.
It wasn't until Guan Yu led the cavalry to the front of the formation that he woke up from a dream. His first reaction was to turn his horse's head and run away!
He had no confidence in defeating this terrifying man, just like Lu Bu at the beginning, which made people afraid to compete.
There is an old saying among the Han people: As long as the green hills remain, there will be no need for firewood. As long as one lives, one day the glory of the Xianbei people will be restored.
However, Guan Yu's trip was to completely quell the threat from the north, so how could he let him go?
Guan Yu didn't know Ke Bineng. Seeing that this man was surrounded by many barbarians, he subconsciously mistook him for Ke Bineng and chased after him with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
The Xianbei people who had just experienced the replacement of the old and the new saw that the new king was fleeing, and they immediately lost their fighting spirit and fled for their lives one after another.
Now Guan Yu had replaced his horse "Wu Ya" with a thousand-mile horse. He sprinted very fast and soon caught up with the new chanyu of Xianbei, holding the green dragon sword high in his hand.
My life is at an end.
The new chanyu subconsciously raised his sword to block, but under the weight of the sword, the short scimitar seemed fragile, and it was actually split into two pieces by the sword.
The Green Dragon Sword split the horse's body from top to bottom, and soon it was dead.
The new king only lasted less than half an hour before he died with hatred.
Afterwards, Guan Yu led his troops to pursue him thirty miles away, carving a bloody path and leaving corpses everywhere.
In the next thirty years, Bingzhou had no more troubles from the north. All tribes in the grassland were frightened when they heard Guan Yu's name. Guan Yunchang's name was so powerful in the northern part of the country.
…
late at night.
Guan Yu withdrew his troops and returned to Yanmen Pass. After fighting hard for a day, he didn't bother to rest, so he walked up the city wall to condolences the soldiers.
When he saw the devastation all over the city gate, even with his tenacious mind, he couldn't help but be touched by it.
"Your Majesty, the general has lived up to your great responsibility, and Yanmen Pass has not been lost!"
When Song Xian learned that Guan Yu was coming, he stood up to greet him regardless of his fatigue.
"This battle is my fault, I made a mistake."
The always arrogant Mr. Guan unexpectedly admitted his mistake this time.
He thought that after the battle a few years ago, the Hu people would not dare to go south for the time being, but he did not expect that Kebineng not only came, but also entangled the Qiang people and Wuhuan people.
The garrison at Yanmen Pass was originally more than 5,000, but after he learned that Liu Bei was launching a large-scale attack on Yizhou, he wanted to prepare for war so that he could cooperate with the southern battlefield as soon as possible, so he mobilized troops from various places.
If not for this, Song Xian's battle would not have been so difficult.
This was the first time Song Xian saw Mr. Guan apologizing, and he hurriedly said: "The Lord has said it before. At the beginning, all of us thought that the barbarians would not dare to come again."
"Besides, the king led his army to kill Kebineng and tens of thousands of Huqi in this battle, and he has avenged his brothers."
Guan Yu's face turned red when he heard this.
"Kebineng was not killed by me."
With his character, he did not bother to take such unwarranted credit. After interrogating a Hu captive, he found out that Kebineng was killed by his subordinates who had usurped the throne.
Of course, the subordinate who successfully usurped the throne also died under his sword.
Song Xian's expression was strange when he heard this, and then he said: "Calculating it this way, the prince still beheaded the Hu in the midst of thousands of troops."
Guan Yu stroked his beard and thought for a while, and found that it was indeed true. It was just that the new king of Xianbei came to power suddenly and died hastily, which made people feel unreal.
"Order to write down the list of soldiers who died in this battle, and arrange for pensions and care for their families. If anyone dares to enrich his own pocket, I will not be lenient."
"yes."
"Also, order people to prepare enough dry food for 40,000 cavalry for three days."
Guan Yu gave another order.
Zhou Cang, who was in charge of recording, was stunned.
Song Xian also looked puzzled: "Why are you preparing dry food for me?"
Guan Yu said calmly: "Do you remember what the military advisor said?"
"What words?"
"If a strong man commits an obvious offense, he will be punished no matter how far away he is. If he is beaten, he will not fight back. This is not the style of a strong man."
After hearing this, everyone immediately understood what Guan Yu meant, which was to follow Liu Bei's example and take the initiative to lead the cavalry deep into the desert again.
Zhou Cang hesitated and said: "But the Prime Minister's order is to participate in the battle of the Central Plains."
"Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are not much different in strength. If they want to decide the winner, they will have to fight for several months. And I will be back in just one month."
Guan Yu's tone revealed strong confidence and judgment of the current situation.
He did not want to hear the news of Yanmen Pass being invaded during his southern expedition. Everyone thought that he would go south to the Central Plains as soon as possible, but he decided to do the opposite.
"Go down and get ready."
"Here!"
Zhou Cang didn't dare to neglect, turned around and went down to make arrangements.
The next day, the Bingzhou Army, which had rested for the night, set off again and headed towards the vast grassland.
This battle is destined to deepen Guan Yu's reputation in northern Saibei.
…
Yizhou, Chengdu.
"Zi Yang stated in the letter that he hoped that I would send another person to assist Yunchang."
It was half a month after Liu Bei received Liu Ye's letter. When he learned that Guan Yu had sent troops to the north of the Great Wall, he could only sigh with despair and helplessness.
As for the rebuke, he couldn't say it. After all, he was the one who arranged for his second brother to stay in Bingzhou, and Guan Yu had not participated in the war for a long time.
The general was away, so military orders were not obeyed, not to mention that the cavalry led by Guan Yu was already in the desert at the moment. Moreover, when he was originally sent to Bingzhou, Liu Bei had already handed over all the military and political power of Bingzhou to him.
Liu Ye couldn't persuade him, and he didn't even have a chance to persuade him, so he had no choice but to apply for a transfer order. His prestige was not enough to persuade Guan Yu.
When Liu Bei mentioned this matter in public, his meaning was self-evident. Among the people present, there were only two people who could persuade Guan Yu.
As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei obviously could not leave Yizhou, because even if he won this battle, there were still many things he needed to arrange later.
Then there is only one person left!
Guo Jia walked out of the queue and said with a smile: "Let me go. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Yun Chang for a long time."
As Liu Guan and Zhang's first counselor at the beginning of his rise, in this life, Guo Jia's status among civil servants was the well-deserved number one person in Liu Bei's group.
Coupled with the friendship back then, Guan Yu would definitely give him face no matter what.
"Then you have to work hard to serve as a filial piety."
"I have fought for three thousand miles with one body, and with one sword I have been a master of millions... I really want to see how high-spirited Mr. Guan is at this moment."
Guo Jia praised one sentence and plagiarized another sentence.
Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Taiwei often said that he can only make suggestions, but Yi Liang thinks that is not the case. If he was born in a peaceful and prosperous age, Taiwei would definitely be a great poet with outstanding literary talent."
"Maybe."
