The official road is long and wide, and the city wall of Yingchuan City is faintly visible in front of it.
It was now approaching dusk, and the sun was setting in the west, casting long oblique shadows on the scenery on the earth.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work. I'll wait a little longer and wait until we enter Yingchuan City. Then we can rest today." Guan Yu, riding on the red rabbit horse, leaned over and said to Gan and Mi in the carriage beside them.
"Thank you, uncle." Gan's soft voice sounded.
Now that he had received the response, Guan Yu did not dare to talk to his sister-in-law any more, and stood up and continued moving forward.
Although he got Cao Cao's consent to leave Xuchang, Guan Yu never dared to be careless along the way, or even slow down on his way. He was afraid that if Cao Cao regretted and sent troops to pursue him, he would be in trouble.
Even the carriage driver sent by Cao Cao to Guan Yu was sent back by Guan Yu before leaving Xuchang. In the end, Guan Yu paid for someone else to drive the carriage.
Therefore, since leaving Xuchang, Guan Yu and his party have been running around without even a chance to breathe. Guan Yu is a warrior and has been marching and fighting for many years, so he has long been accustomed to this kind of life. But his two sisters-in-law are different, they are both mentally retarded women,
Even if they were sitting in a carriage, traveling so fast was still physically taxing for them.
Guan Yu was the kind of man who valued brotherhood above all else, so when he saw his two sisters-in-law working so hard, Guan Yu felt he had failed his brother and felt very guilty.
When we entered Yingchuan City, we found an inn to rest.
In fact, with Guan Yu's current status, he could choose a high-end inn as a resting place. However, the inn is an official facility, and Yingchuan is not far from Xuchang. If he chooses to live in the inn, Guan Yu will feel insecure.
Guan Yu was worried that Cao Cao would send people to pursue him, but as the saying goes, whatever you worry about comes. As he was walking, Guan Yu suddenly heard the faint sound of horse hoofs trampling the earth from behind.
Guan Yu felt a shiver in his heart. He looked back and saw about a hundred cavalry galloping towards him.
So fast? Obviously, although Guan Yu was on guard against Cao Cao breaking the contract, he had also predicted it. But in less than half a day, Cao Cao's army had already caught up with him, which was obviously beyond his expectation.
Although he was already on the road with all his strength, Guan Yu had two sisters-in-law to take care of after all. The two ladies were already exhausted during the journey. If the carriage was allowed to run at full speed, their bones would be broken. In this way, Guan Yu would
How could a few people outrun Cao's cavalry who were pursuing them with all their strength?
There is no way to escape. If he is alone and the red rabbit horse slaps his crotch, the cavalry team will never be able to catch up. They can only fall behind and suffer a dusty face. But the problem is that Guan Yu will never abandon his two sisters-in-law.
Regardless, he escaped alone.
Hengdao stood up and Guan Yu glared at Cao Jun's cavalry formation that was getting closer and closer, and was ready to fight the opponent.
"Hmph, it's just a hundred people. Cao Mengde, do you really think you can stop me with just these people?" Guan Yu said to himself, his tone full of confidence.
If Cao Cao sent hundreds of men, Guan Yu would really not be as calm as he is now. But with a hundred-man cavalry team, Guan Yu believed that they would be unable to do anything to him!
To deal with an array of hundreds of people with the power of one person, this is the unparalleled style of a martial saint in the world!
The cavalry was only dozens of steps away from him, and Guan Yu could now clearly see the commanders of the cavalry - Xiahou Dun and Gao Shun.
Guan Yu was not surprised when Xiahou Dun appeared here. After all, when he was in Cao Ying, the other party disliked him. Although Xiahou Dun and he had no overt conflicts when they worked together in Cao Ying, he could still feel it.
to the hostility coming from the other person's eyes.
However, Guan Yu has always been dismissive of this kind of hostility. Xiahou Dun alone is not worthy of being regarded as an enemy by Guan Yu.
However, the appearance of Gao Shun really surprised Guan Yu. Guan Yu and Gao Shun had talked several times. Although they had no resonance with each other and could not form a friendship between men, Guan Yu still felt that Gao Shun was a person.
He has a good character. And when he was in Xiapi and was surrounded by Cao's army, it was Gao Shun who persuaded him, which led to a series of things that led to him being forced to surrender to Cao's camp. Since Gao Shun wanted to save him at the beginning,
So how could he join the pursuers at this time?
"Guan Yunchang, the Prime Minister treats you very well. He gives you gold when you get on the horse, silver when you get off the horse, and you are given whatever you want. It is the greatest honor and favor. But you are so kind, just pat your butt and leave. Do you still have loyalty in your eyes?"
"When Xiahou Dun saw Guan Yu, he immediately cursed. At the same time, he waved his right hand, and a hundred cavalry surrounded Guan Yu in a semicircle.
"It is out of loyalty that I must return to my brother!" Guan Yu responded loudly, "Furthermore, the prime minister promised me in the past that I could leave. To send troops to chase me today is to destroy my promise and is not what a man would do!"
"Hmph, the Prime Minister will certainly promise you a huge sum of money! Guan Yunchang, to tell you the truth, I led the troops to intercept you today because it was on my own initiative. If you surrender and follow me to see the Prime Minister, you can still save your life. Otherwise, this place is yours.
Burial place!" Xiahou Dun continued to curse, his tone was extremely arrogant.
Guan Yu is such a proud and arrogant person. How can he bear Xiahou Dun being so arrogant in front of him? Guan Yu's face was originally red, but now it was even redder than a ripe date.
"Gao Shun, do you mean this too?" Guan Yu turned to Gao Shun and asked. Driven by anger, he directly called the other person by his name instead of his cousin.
Gao Shun was very embarrassed when he heard Guan Yu's question.
From his original intention, he naturally did not want to kill Guan Yu here. But he had already followed Xiahou Dun to chase Guan Yu, so why should he explain to him that he had no intention of harming him?
If such words were spoken, Guan Yu would not only not be grateful to himself, but might also look down on himself even more. He would regard his speech as a lie or a sign of cowardice.
Furthermore, if he really said that, what position would Xiahou Dun put on the sidelines?
