After his contact with Guan Yu, Zhou Cang deeply felt that Guan Yu was a hero. Therefore, Zhou Cang's mentality changed from the humiliation at the beginning to the willingness now.
The change in mentality naturally changed the tone, and now that he was familiar with Guan Yu, Zhou Cang said politely: "Haha, it's a long story..."
Zhou Cang described everything on Weihu Mountain to Guan Yu.
When he heard that Ma Xiaoquan had just appeared, Guan Yu just said nothing. When he heard that a group of them surrounded Ma Xiaoquan, Guan Yu's face was solemn; and when he heard that Ma Xiaoquan single-handedly subdued Zhou Cang and the others, Guan Yu couldn't help but
Said "ok".
After listening, Guan Yu touched the long beard on his chin and said: "This purple-haired immortal is really amazing. When we meet him again, we must have a good relationship with him."
Zhou Cang was puzzled and asked why.
Guan Yu explained: "You and my lord Liu Bei have never had a place to stay together. A few days ago, I inquired about the news that he is now in Yuan Shao's camp. Although I don't know Yuan Shao, I am in Cao's camp."
After all, from what Cao Cao said, I think Yuan Shao will be defeated soon."
Zhou Cang asked again: "General Guan, it's impossible. Yuan Shao controls the four states, has strong soldiers and horses, and a large population. However, Cao Cao's power is far inferior to Yuan Shao. Logically speaking, Cao Cao should not be Yuan Shao's opponent."
"
Guan Yu chuckled: "Looking at things, we have to take a long-term view. In fact, I neither hope that Yuan Shao wins, nor do I hope that Cao Cao wins. However, compared to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao is more cowardly, so if I choose
, will choose Cao Cao."
Zhou Cang said: "General Guan, in that case, why don't you join Cao Cao's camp?"
Guan Yu shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "My lord and I eat from the same bowl and sleep in the same bed. We have a deep relationship. Although Duke Cao is kind to me, it is never as good as my friendship with my lord!"
Zhou Cang nodded: "General Guan is loyal and loyal, Zhou Cang deeply admires him!" After saying that, Zhou Cang knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu helped Zhou Cang up and patted Zhou Cang on the shoulder: "The yellow-faced man I hacked to death before, is he your brother?"
Zhou Cang shook his head: "Lao Pei and I can only be called friends, but not brothers. After all, Lao Pei's thoughts have always been on being a bandit, and I want to join you, General Guan!"
Guan Yu snorted and said, "Speaking of which, Master Shangxian, what are you doing now?"
...
"Ah sneeze" Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his nose and said to himself, "Who is talking about me again?"
Beside him, Ling'er chuckled and said, "Ling'er is talking about my husband."
Ma Xiaoquan reached out and scratched Ling'er's nose: "Ghost girl!"
Ling'er stuck out her tongue at Ma Xiaoquan and started laughing, but just after spitting out a few times, Ling'er suddenly felt nauseated.
"Uh" Ling'er covered her chest, feeling very uncomfortable.
Hua Yuexin stepped forward: "Ling'er, what's wrong with you?"
Linger covered her mouth and shook her head.
Huayue thought for a moment and asked Ling'er: "Ling'er, are you happy?"
Ling'er blushed and said after a while: "I don't know."
"When did you become famous?"
Ling'er thought for a moment: "It's been last month."
Upon hearing this, Hua Yuexin laughed happily: "Gui girl, you are really happy."
At this time, Ma Xiaoquan came over and asked, "What's so exciting?"
Hua Yuexin slapped Ma Xiaoquan on the forehead and said angrily: "Ling'er is pregnant with your child, how can you be happy?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoquan happily picked up Ling'er and spun him around several times.
Hua Yuexin hurriedly stepped forward, stopped Ma Xiaoquan, and said: "Ling'er is pregnant now, please be careful, why are you so rash!"
Ma Xiaoquan put down Ling'er and laughed.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Madam, Ling'er is pregnant with a baby, why don't you give me a boy and a girl?"
Ma Xiaoquan's words seemed to hurt a scar deep in Hua Yuexin's heart, and Hua Yuexin turned her back in silence.
"What's wrong, madam?" Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and put his arms around Hua Yuexin's shoulders, "Madam, what happened to you?"
Hua Yuexin's eyes were full of tears. She suddenly grabbed Ma Xiaoquan's hand and said loudly: "Ms. sir, please promise me that you must help Cao Cao!"
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan didn't understand what Hua Yuexin meant, "Help Cao Cao? Why?"
Hua Yuexin lowered her head, bit her lip and said, "I don't want Yuan Shao to win, and I don't want the Yuan family to have an easy time, and I don't want you to have a head-on conflict with Lu Xian!"
Hua Yuexin aside, Ma Xiaoquan had really forgotten all about Lu Xian.
Hua Yuexin mentioned it, and Ma Xiaoquan was even more confused: "Mr. Lu? What is the relationship between Yuan Shao and Xian Lu?"
Hua Yuexin shook her head: "Ms. sir, just promise me, okay?"
"Okay!"
Hua Yuexin raised her head: "Mr. sir, thank you!"
Ma Xiaoquan hugged Hua Yuexin into his arms: "Don't worry, I'll be by your side."
At this time, Ling'er also stepped forward and hugged Hua Yuexin's arm: "Sister Yue'er, there's me too!"
Hua Yuexin nodded, and finally shed two lines of hot tears.
Ling'er stepped forward and hugged Hua Yuexin, while Ma Xiaoquan held the two women in his arms distressedly, letting them pity each other.
...
In March 200 AD, the fifth year of Emperor Xian's reign of the Han Dynasty, the angry Yuan Shao wanted to send his army across the Yellow River to pursue Cao Cao.
The counselor Jushu advised him: "My lord, now we should be more cautious. We can first station troops in Yanjin, and then divide our troops to attack Guandu. If our army wins, it will not be too late to cross the river. If we lose, we still have backing to rely on."
, If we advance rashly like this, there may be a danger of the entire army being destroyed once defeated. Please think twice, my lord!"
After Yan Liang's death, Yuan Shao was so angry that he could not listen to Ju Shou's advice. He immediately sent his army across the river to pursue Cao Cao. Guo Tu followed Yuan Shao, nodding his head, looking very serious.
Agree with the lord's approach.
Jushuo was helpless, seeing that his lord did not listen to the advice, he shook his head and said: "My lord is going his own way, but his subordinates are so happy about their success. Alas, that's all, I'll just do what I should do..."
After Jushou finished speaking, he asked Yuan Shao for sick leave the next night. Yuan Shao was already angry. Yuan Shao thought Jushou was passive and sabotaged his work. Therefore, in anger, Yuan Shao drew out Jushou's troops.
Most of it went to Guo Tu.
On the other side, Yuan Shao sent General Wen Chou to pursue Cao Cao on the south bank of Yanjin.
At this time, Ma Xiaoquan, the master of Shangxian, had already joined Cao Cao.
In order to stay close to history, Ma Xiaoquan specially "invited" Cao Cao to watch the battle from a high place.
Just then General Wen Chou of the Yuan Army appeared. Cao Cao asked Ma Xiaoquan his opinion, and Ma Xiaoquan said: "Kill!"
Cao Cao understood this and immediately ordered that some military and horse supplies be thrown out to lure Wen Chou.
Wen Chou did not come alone this time. He also brought Uncle Liu Huang with him. Liu Bei was not good at fighting. He saw Cao Cao's army "throwing down his armor" and thought that Cao Cao was no longer good. He immediately suggested to Wen Chou to step up the investigation.
Liu Bei thought to himself: Cao Cao is so stubborn, I want to avenge Xuzhou.
Unfortunately, Liu Bei's wishful thinking was wrong.
Cao Cao's plan was to "invite you into the urn". Of course, this plan was what Master Shangxian said.
Although it is a bit dangerous, if you use it skillfully, you still have a great chance of winning.
Standing on a high place and watching Yamamoto's ugly army confiscating the spoils of war, Cao Cao couldn't help it.
"Lord Immortal?"
Beside him, Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, stretched out his hand and said, "Wait a little longer!"
Cao Cao nodded: "Master Shangxian, why do you suddenly want to help me like this?"
Recalling what his wife Hua Yuexin said, Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "For the sake of history, but also for my woman."
Cao Cao didn't understand what Ma Xiaoquan meant, but he didn't ask further. Cao Cao knew that even if Lord Shangxian explained it to him, he would only explain the second half of the sentence, and he would definitely not explain the first half.
He makes no explanation.
...
Wen Chou and Liu Bei led five or six thousand cavalry and saw Cao Cao's horse baggage everywhere at the foot of the mountain. They thought that Cao Cao was so frightened when he saw the army that he abandoned his armor and fled over the mountain, so they proudly began to collect the "trophies". The collection process was very complicated.
It went smoothly, there was no Cao army, and nothing happened.
On the mountain, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly stretched out his hand: "That's it!"
Cao Cao nodded and waved his big hand, and the only more than 600 cavalry on the mountain immediately attacked quickly.
Cao Cao used this killing move at the perfect time. Just as Wen Chou was happily choosing his horses, he saw a large group of Cao Cao's cavalry rushing down from the mountain.
Wen Chou was so frightened that he ran away in panic.
As soon as the general ran away, the entire team dispersed.
Before charging up the mountain, Ma Xiaoquan handed an arrow to Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, do you want to make meritorious service?"
Zhang Liao nodded.
"That's good, take this arrow and shoot Wen Chou! Are you sure?"
Zhang Liaoyi patted his chest: "Yes!"
"Okay, let's go!"
...
Zhang Liao held the arrow given by Master Shangxian in his hand and was very excited.
"Let me use this arrow to shoot Wen Chou for Lord Shangxian!" Zhang Liao said, nocked his bow and aimed at Wen Chou.
Wen Chou was highly skilled in martial arts and had good awareness. As soon as Zhang Liao aimed at him, Wen Chou sensed something was wrong. However, Zhi Chou was unable to locate him, so he had to hide here and there based on his senses.
It's just that Wen Chou was on horseback after all, and his target was obvious. After Zhang Liao changed positions several times, he successfully locked onto Wen Chou's movements.
Zhang Liao is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has rich experience. Although he is not very good at bow shooting, with his own ability, he is more than enough to control a bow and arrow once or twice.
Aiming at Wen Chou, Zhang Liao suddenly shouted: "Kill!" Hearing the "whoosh" sound of the arrow, it flew out of the bow and went straight towards Wen Chou.
At this time, Wen Chou was swerving left and right in a hurry, and he didn't care about Zhang Liao's cold arrow.
By the time he reacted, the arrow was already in front of him.
Wen Chou was worthy of being Wen Chou. At such a critical moment, Wen Chou twisted his waist 90°, forcing him to avoid him.
However, Wen Chou only avoided the fatal part, and his big arm was hit by an arrow.
The arrow hit his arm, and Wen Chou felt very uncomfortable. Logically speaking, he had fought many battles, large and small, and had been hit by several arrows and injured several times. But this time, the arrow on his arm felt very uncomfortable.
The arrow seemed to have a very high temperature, and Wen Chou was so hot that he screamed and screamed. Wen Chou fell off his horse without paying attention.
