Cao Hui was not only weak, but also very timid. After being frightened, she fainted with a "thud". Fortunately, the soldiers next to her were quick and quickly held her up, preventing her from falling to the ground.
.
The suffering in Guangling City was not very high. Guan Yu saw it clearly from below the city. These soldiers were obviously going to rebel. He raised the Qinglong sword bitterly and was about to call on the defenders on the city to capture these soldiers.
, but saw a shout from the top of the city, and the big flag with the word "Guan" was pulled down and replaced with a big flag with the word "Han". In fact, there was also a flag with the word "Han" on the city, but
This "Han" flag is black, the same as the flag used by Liu Xin's army outside the city.
When Guan Yu saw it, he knew that the south gate was lost, so he rode around the city. The group of soldiers behind him were still loyal and followed closely. They rode dozens of horses towards the east gate.
It turned out that the soldiers around Guan Yu were brought back from Xuzhou. The soldiers who stayed in the mansion were selected by him from among the newly recruited soldiers. The elites from the third and fourth legions were mixed with these.
Among the soldiers, they were naturally picked by Guan Yu, but it was like Guan Yu had installed several time bombs around him.
Liu Xin saw the flags on the city changing from behind, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He waved his hand and said: "Zhongkang, Junyi, you two each lead a cavalry, far up Chuo, but
Do not fight with him."
Zhang He and Xu Chu each bowed their hands, turned around and pursued with their troops.
Guan Yu walked around to the east gate and saw the flag with the word "Guan" flying on top of the city from a distance. He couldn't help but feel relieved. He could see clearly just now that Cao Hui had fallen into the hands of those rebels.
Here, he wants to rescue Cao Hui.
Guan Yu didn't have much affection for Cao Hui, but she was still his Guan Yu's woman. How could he, Guan Yu, the first hero, let his woman fall into the hands of the enemy? Even if he escaped, Guan Yu would have to take his
The women fled together.
Guan Yu rode his horse to the city gate and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!"
But I heard a burst of laughter coming from the top of the city. A general stood on the top of the city holding two whips and said loudly: "Huang has taken Guangling City under the orders of my Lord General. General Guan, you must either surrender or go elsewhere!"
Guan Yu was filing his teeth tightly, but he had nothing to do. With just these dozens of men under his command, it would be no more than a dream to recapture the city.
The soldiers from that group all came from Xuzhou. Seeing this scene, they all advised: "General, we can't stay here for a long time. We should go back to Xuzhou."
Guan Yu was still hesitating, but he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him and the smoke rising, so he had no choice but to say, "Let's go!"
Along the way north, the pursuers behind him were far and near, but always stayed on the left and right. Guan Yu led his troops to run for hundreds of miles, but saw that there was a vast expanse in front of him, and there was no way to go. While he was anxious, he saw only the surface of the lake.
Dozens of small boats appeared. On the boat in the middle, a man held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. He shouted loudly: "The navy general Zhou Tai is here! Guan Yu, if you don't surrender, how long will it take?"
Guan Yu was furious and wanted to fight, but the boats only stopped far away and did not approach the shore. If their horses moved forward a little, a barrage of arrows would be fired from the lake. They wanted to retreat, but they saw east and south behind them.
Both roads were filled with smoke and dust, and the pursuers were approaching. In desperation, Guan Yu had no choice but to lead his troops to a small road to the west.
This was the Lixiahe Plain in later generations, with low-lying terrain and crisscrossing river branches. Guan Yu did not know the path and ran all the way to the west. Gradually, the path became narrower and narrower. There was another lake in front of him and there was no road.
Guan Yu didn't expect that he would be forced into this situation. He couldn't help but feel that he was being teased. He immediately reined in his horse and turned around, saying loudly: "Brothers, follow Guan back and break out a bloody path!"
The soldiers looked at each other in confusion. One of the soldiers who usually followed Guan Yu took courage and said: "General, we surrender, ah..."
With a scream, the soldier's head flew into the air, blood spilled, and peach blossoms appeared on the lake.
Guan Yu turned the green dragon sword still dripping with blood in his hand to the soldiers beside him. Just as he was about to curse, he heard a loud rumbling sound from all around.
Some soldiers had already shouted: "General, no good! I'm wet."
When Guan Yu turned around to look, he saw that the surroundings were completely white, except for a slightly higher ground on the way they came. Guan Yu didn't have time to think about it, so he rode his horse and rushed towards the high ground with his soldiers. When they just arrived at the high ground, the surrounding areas were surrounded by white.
It has been completely submerged in water, and it has become an isolated island.
Before they could understand what was going on, there were loud shouts all around, and hundreds of small boats gathered from all directions to surround the isolated island. The small boats were full of soldiers, all with their bows and arrows ready.
If these soldiers dare to enter the water, they will be shot into hedgehogs in the blink of an eye. Moreover, most of Guan Yu's soldiers are not accustomed to water at all, and they have been completely trapped here.
Liu Xin entered the Guangling Prefecture surrounded by generals.
In these troubled times, the governor's mansion has changed its owner several times within half a year, from Zhao Yu, Zuo Rong, to Guan Yu, and now it finally fell into the hands of Liu Xin.
Liu Xin looked around and asked: "My lord, has the news been sent out?"
Jushou cupped his hands and said: "Go back to my lord, the people who reported the news to Xuzhou have already set off. It is estimated that at dawn tomorrow, Liu Bei will get the news of the fall of Guangling. My lord, this move is really clever. Liu Bei has always been deeply affectionate for Guan Yu. He learned that Guangling
If there is news that the city has fallen, we will definitely send troops to rescue them, just in time to intercept and kill them on the way."
Liu Xin shook his head and said: "The world is unpredictable. Without Guan Yu, Liu Bei will have no good generals. It is still unclear whether he dares to send troops. However, Zhang Ren is still asked to act according to the plan and be prepared."
Suddenly I heard the guard outside the door shout loudly: "Hurry in!"
When Liu Xin looked up, she saw two women being escorted in by the guards. One of them had her hair tied high, with a jade hairpin on her head. It was Cao Hui who had fainted from fear on top of the city, and the other was her personal bodyguard.
Maid.
The guard held up his hands and said: "Please tell me, my lord, that Guan Yu's family members will be brought here."
Cao Hui's face turned pale, she bowed to Liu Xinfu tremblingly, and said, "I'm here, Mr. Cao, I've seen you before."
"Oh, it turns out to be Mrs. Guan, yes, yes." Liu Xin nodded and said, "Send it to the backyard first and take good care of it. There will be no mistakes."
The bodyguard agreed and took Cao Hui's master and servant into custody.
Liu Xin then turned to Gan Ning and Tai Shici and said, "There is no news from Youping and the others so far. You two will lead another elite army to reinforce them. There must be no mistake!"
While he was talking, a guard rushed over, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "My lord, there is news from the front. Guan Yu has been surrounded on a high ground. Please make a decision, lord!"
Gan Ning and Tai Shici looked at each other and said in disappointment: "I didn't expect that he would be able to achieve this great feat."
Liu Xin laughed loudly and said: "No one of you has to fight for this credit, it is already claimed."
As the night got darker, Guan Yu dismounted and sat on the high ground, staring blankly at the lake in front of him. At the end of the day, he really felt sleepy and wanted to take a good rest. However, there were hundreds of boats.
He lit a torch and walked back and forth around the highland, lighting up the lake as bright as day. Guan Yu really didn't dare to sleep. He could only hope that the flood would recede as soon as possible, or that Liu Bei, who was far away in Xuzhou, could
After getting the news, troops were sent to rescue him.
In the Guangling Prefecture, Cao Hui was also sitting in front of the window in a daze, holding the hosta in her hand. Just now she was the wife of the admired hero, but now she has become someone else's prisoner. She comes from a wealthy family and has a lot of experience.
She is extraordinary. Cao Hui knows that in most cases, a young and beautiful woman like her will not lose her life if she is taken prisoner, but it is hard to say whether she will be humiliated. Cao Hui holds Hosta's hand
She wanted to stab herself in the throat several times, but she still couldn't bear it. In fact, even if she wanted to commit suicide, she had no chance. The maids around her were staring at her unblinkingly. In the hall just now, Master Liu
What does it mean to say "not bad" twice in a row? If Cao Hui dies, I'm afraid none of them will be able to survive.
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open. Cao Hui jumped up from the ground like a spring, looking nervously at the door. However, several beautiful women came in, especially the young woman in the middle, who was so beautiful.
It makes people dare not look at it.
The young woman took two steps forward, stared at Cao Hui for a while, then said with a smile: "You are Mrs. Guan."
Cao Hui still held the hosta and asked nervously: "Who are you?"
A girl who looked like a maid said: "This is my seventh wife."
Liu Xin's cross-river battle would take a long time to end, so naturally he could not leave Diao Chan and the others in the south of the Yangtze River. However, for the sake of caution, they were left on the ship until Guangling City was completely settled, and then they were
They took it over.
Thinking that Guan Yu's wife Cao Hui was actually Lu Bu's second wife in history, and Diao Chan and Yan Rui he brought with him were also Lu Bu's women in history, and there was also a little girl who turned out to be Lu Bu's daughter.
Liu Xin had a strange feeling when the family came together under such circumstances.
Otherwise, Liu Xin still asked Diao Chan and the others to come and see Cao Hui. After all, Cao Hui is Guan Yu’s wife now, and Liu Xin wants to conquer Guan Yu. This Cao Hui must not let anything go wrong. Thinking of Cao Hui in the hall in the afternoon,
Hui looked like a frightened bird. It was inconvenient for Liu Xin to see her. If something happened to her, she would not be able to explain it to Guan Yu.
When Cao Hui learned that this beautiful young woman was Liu Xin's wife, she hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Mrs. Guan, there is no need to be polite." Diao Chan stepped forward to help her up, but she felt a little cool in her hands. She lowered her head and looked at it, and said in surprise, "Can you show me this hosta?"
Cao Hui had been married to Guan Yu for several months, but this hosta was the only gift Guan Yu gave her. It was naturally extremely precious in her mind. Diao Chan asked for it from her, but she was naturally reluctant to part with it. However,
, then I thought that this lady was so beautiful that she must be deeply loved by Mr. Liu. If she asked Mr. Liu to be her maid, there would be no reason why Mr. Liu would not refuse. He would not even be able to save her.
