Chapter 236
Guan Yu sat on the threshold, holding his cheek, staring at the busy Du Shi with his eyes fixed on him.
Du blushed and bit her lip, trying not to look at Guan Yu's obsessive gaze as much as possible. However, Guan Yu's eyes not only fell on her, but also on her heart. No matter where she hid, she could not avoid Guan Yu's gaze.
"Are you feeling depressed while sitting?" Du sighed: "Why would you better go and talk to General Gongsun and compete with martial arts."
These days, the people Guan Yu was most familiar with in Dingxiang City, besides Du, they were Gongsun Zan. With the relationship between Liu Bei and their friendship of fighting side by side, Guan Yu and Gongsun Zan were very good at talking and often drank and talked together.
"Oh, Gongsun Bogui is training troops." Guan Yu was a little embarrassed, and inexplicably lost. Gongsun Zan was no older than him. He was already a general, with thousands of elite soldiers under his command, and the white horse Yizhong, who was famous in the northern border. What about him? He was alone, with a single horse, and seeing his beloved, he was unable to marry him. "What am I going to do? No soldiers or generals, so embarrassing."
Du knew Guan Yu’s thoughts and sighed a little. She walked over, put up her skirt and sat side by side with Guan Yu: “The one-year appointment is approaching, what are you going to do?”
"I..." Guan Yu was speechless and his face turned red.
"Or, you should serve Your Majesty for ten years." Du took Guan Yu's hand and rubbed gently: "I know, you care about your brother Liu Xuande. Isn't he a relative of the Han Dynasty? Just let him come together. I heard from the queen that long before Your Majesty asked Grandmaster Dong for Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu, Your Majesty asked Mr. Lu for Liu Xuande and Gongsun Bogui. It was just a coincidence that your brother became his Majesty's opponent. Now that time has changed, Gongsun Bogui has been determined to serve Your Majesty, and your brother has also left Yuan Shao. Why can't you come to Your Majesty? With your brother's ability, commanding troops and killing generals and seizing flags are all expected."
"Is this happening?" Guan Yu stood up in surprise.
"Will I still lie to you?" Du said angrily, getting up and leaving. Guan Yu quickly grabbed her hand: "Junior sister, I don't mean that. I just said... When I met His Majesty, His Majesty never mentioned it."
"You were still enemies at that time. How could he mention it?" Du Shi was angry and funny: "Besides, it is already rare for the emperor to be able to make a gentleman agreement with you. Do you still have to ask him to be humble and beg you?"
"What kind of gentleman is he?" Guan Yu muttered and turned his head depressedly.
"That's because your Majesty values you." Du stomped his feet in anger: "Okay. I'll say what should be said, and I'll say what shouldn't be said. You can do it yourself. At worst, I'll wait for you for another ten years."
After saying that, Du turned around and left. Guan Yu raised his hand and wanted to scream, but he didn't know where to start. Seeing Du enter the house, Guan Yu left reluctantly and walked to Gongsun Zan's military camp. Before he could enter the camp, he found that something was wrong. Gongsun Zan's subordinates were setting up camp and were about to travel far.
Guan Yu rushed to Gongsun Zan's tent. Gongsun Zan was busy. When he saw Guan Yu, he said, "Chang Yun, I am about to send someone to find you. Your Majesty just came to me and Taiwei Dong, and lead the cavalry to pursue Keji. Should you go with me or stay in Dingxiang."
Guan Yu was shocked and asked quickly: "You only have more than 3,000 riders, go chase Keji?"
"Of course not. Your Majesty has given his kindness and power, and has forced the Xianbei people to surrender. Now he is 20,000 elite cavalry under his command, and is coming here. We are just taking the lead and putting on Ke Zui, so don't let him run away." Gongsun Zan laughed: "Chang Yun, Your Majesty is really powerful. The Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people have fought for so many years, but they have never fought such a happy battle. I have a premonition that Ke is the most dead this time."
"Brother Bo Gui admires His Majesty very much."
Gongsun Zan glanced at Guan Yu, smiled and shook his head: "I don't admire the hero like Your Majesty. Do you admire the children of aristocratic families like Yuan Shao? Yun Chang, it's not that I said you, with your Majesty's respect for you, why do you have to run around? If you serve Your Majesty, you can drag Qing Yuzi within a few years. This is a good opportunity that many people want. If Your Majesty values me so much, I will not even hesitate."
Guan Yu smiled and said, "Brother Bo Gui, don't be humble, your Majesty is afraid that your valuation of you is no less than mine."
Guan Yu told Gongsun Zan the story he had just heard. Gongsun Zan raised his eyebrows and felt a little unhappy. "It seems that my teacher really doesn't have me as a poor disciple in my eyes. If you give such an opportunity to me, you are not willing to fulfill me."
Seeing that Gongsun Zan was wrong, Guan Yu quickly stopped him. "Brother Bo Gui, when will you set off?"
"Why, are you interested?"
Guan Yu smiled awkwardly: "I'm fine anyway, I'm idle anyway, so I'm going to have a look with you."
"That's right." Gongsun Zan patted Guan Yu on the shoulder and laughed: "I want to find you, for this matter. Yun Chang, I want to give you a grievance. For the time being, I will be my general and lead a part of the White Horse Yisong. How about it?"
Guan Yu was overjoyed. Baima Yicong was Gongsun Zan's personal guard cavalry, and Gongsun Zan had the kind of personality that he would be the first in every battle. Every time he went to battle, Baima Yicong was the main force among the main forces. Being Gongsun Zan's general was equivalent to a vanguard officer. It was Guan Yu's favorite, so how could he refuse?
"I thank Brother Bo Gui for not abandoning him, Yu couldn't get it."
...
Dong Zhuo did not go out in person. He ordered Zhang Ji to lead two thousand elite cavalry and join forces with Gongsun Zan, with more than 3,500 people, and with half a month's dry food, he rushed out of Dingxiang City and chased deep into the grassland.
Gongsun Zan's official position was higher than Zhang Ji, so he naturally became the supreme commander of this team. He ordered all the soldiers to go day and night and chase them relentlessly. When camping, he had to wait until the first soldiers were settled before he entered the account, ensuring that every soldier had enough food and drink before he could eat. Guan Yu, as his general, was often with him, and when he saw the soldiers supporting Gongsun Zan, he was very jealous. Thinking of Yuan Shao's noble son's manner, he suddenly felt that Liu Bei's choice was not a wise choice.
After three days and two nights of pursuit, the scouts in front of him captured Ke Zui's traces. After Ke Zui retreated from Dingxiang, he did not go east, but went west along the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain. It seemed that he was planning to return to his own tiger tribe. Behind him, Gongsun Zan and others saw many corpses of Han people. Most of these people died miserably, some even had their clothes stripped naked, hiding in the wilderness, some had broken limbs and arms, and some even had their chests and abdomen, and their hearts were taken away.
Gongsun Zan and others were furious and refused to let these Xianbei people go, vowing to kill them all and avenge these victims.
Guan Yu was even more angry and led five hundred white horses to chase in front. They were both horses, but they didn't untied their armor and did not untied their saddles. At the fastest time, they chased for more than 300 miles a day and night, and finally caught up with Ke Zui outside Gaoque.
Seeing the figures of Xianbei people, Guan Yu flew over onto the Jueying, raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and called the ten white horses beside him: "Go back and report to General Gongsun the direction of our army, and the others follow me to kill the enemy!"
Ten white horses were ordered to take the order, and one person brought two horses with him, turned around and ran away.
The other white horses Yi Zong soldiers responded, jumped onto the war horses, and followed Guan Yu toward the Xianbei people.
"Kill--" Five hundred cavalry roared in unison, rolling up a storm.
...
Ke raised his head and looked at the smoke and dust rising from the sky in the distance, frowned.
He had just received a report from the scout, and four or five hundred cavalry chased him up, looking at the flag, it looked like Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicong.
Ke Zui was very strange. Isn’t Gongsun Zan in Youzhou? How did he run to Bingzhou? What’s even more strange is how he chased him to the grassland. A few days ago, He Lian once sent a message saying that he defeated Gongsun Zan in Huze. Baima Yicong suffered heavy losses, and Gongsun Zan himself was obviously captured. If what He Lian said was true, Gongsun Zan should have hid and licked his wounds at this moment. How could he chased him to the grassland?
With Ke's most knowledge of Helian, he felt that Helian might have lied habitually. However, he was not worried about it, but was a little happy. Although the equipment of Baima Yicong could not keep up with the imperial guards of the Han emperor Liu Bian, it was also famous among the northern border troops. If he could defeat Gongsun Zan, he might be able to make up for some losses.
The Tiger Tribe was wiped out by Liu Bian, and attacked Dingxiang without gaining anything. Ke Shu was at the end of his journey and had reached the point of being hungry. Otherwise, he would not have sent cavalry to intercept the Han slaves who failed to return to Senei in time. For him, it is good to have more clothes and more sheep now, let alone the equipment of thousands of people.
Hearing that four or five hundred white horses came to chase after him, Ke Ji immediately ordered the entire army to stop advancing. Murong Ji, the Golden Eagle tribe of the rear army, faced the front and circulated the left and right wings, and it was necessary to encircle and annihilate these ignorant Han people.
The long horn sounded, and more than 10,000 Xianbei elite cavalry changed their formation, turned their horse's heads, and rushed towards Guan Yu.
Seeing the smoke and dust in three directions, Guan Yu laughed without fear. He raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and shouted to the white horse Yicong soldiers beside him: "You guys, don't look at the fierce and powerful people in the Xianbei people, let's see Yu defeat them for you guys."
These white horse soldiers followed Guan Yu for several days and admired Guan Yu's martial arts. They had experienced many battles and were brave people who regarded life and death as nothing. After hearing Guan Yu's words, they burst into laughter.
"I wish to follow Guan Jun and kill the generals and seize the flag!"
"Okay, kill the general and seize the flag!" Guan Yu shouted fiercely and kicked Jueying hard. In an instant, the realm was fully opened. The invisible true energy came out, covering Guan Yu and his people and horses. Jueying neighed excitedly, and roared again, turning into a yellow shadow and pounced on the Xianbei people.
