Chapter 57 Funny generals
The weather becomes cooler and cooler after September, and everything begins to wither. The autumn wind convolves the fallen leaves and whirls in the air, swaying and waving, with an unspeakable sense of loneliness.
On such days, as a general, he was sent to patrol. Chunyu Qiong refused in his heart, but the military order was as good as a mountain. Even if he was dissatisfied, he would not dare to openly disobey Yan Liang's military orders.
"Yan Liang, that's too hateful!" Chunyu Qiong, who was sitting on the horse's back and was a little hungover, shook his head. He couldn't help but secretly drank a little wine last night, but unexpectedly he was caught by Yan Liang who had just arrived. What's even more unexpected was that Yan Liang ignored him and directly demoted him to patrol.
It was just a defeated general. Chunyu Qiong couldn't swallow this. He was a general after all. He had been with Yuan Shao since the Zhongping period. Over the years, he was one of the few old ministers around Yuan Shao. Now he was suppressed by a junior like Yan Liang with military orders, so he was naturally very unhappy.
When the cool breeze blew, Chunyu Qiong felt that his head was much clearer, but the feeling brought by the hangover became clearer. After looking around, there was no other scout team. Chunyu Qiong simply found a forest to get off the horse, leaned against a tree and sat down to rest.
"General, if General Yan Liang discovered it, it would be a punishment." A soldier looked at Chunyu Qiong worriedly and looked around carefully.
"I'm afraid of him!" Chunyu Qiong snorted coldly, all he brought out was his personal guards, and he was not afraid of anyone complaining. He said fiercely: "I have been with my lord for many years. If Yan Liang dared to make trouble too much, his lord would not spare him!"
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't believe Chunyu Qiong's words. Yan Liang is now the number one general under Yuan Shao, and is deeply trusted by Yuan Shao. His prestige in the army is definitely not comparable to Chunyu Qiong. To deal with him, it would be no problem for Yan Liang. However, as Chunyu Qiong's personal guard, he dare not say this in front of Chunyu Qiong, so as not to make Chunyu Qiong angry.
As Yuan Shao's old subordinate, Chunyu Qiong's status was a bit awkward. There are four courtyards in the north, one pillar and one pillar. Han Meng was secretly sent to Guanzhong in his early years and died in Chang'an. Among the four courtyards, Wen Chou died in Qingzhou, but the remaining four people still firmly occupy the peak position of Jizhou military generals.
Zhu Ling, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Han Qiong, Han Juzi, Jiang Ji, Murong Ping, Ma Yan, and other generals emerged continuously, and their abilities were no worse than him. Moreover, their bravery in combat also made Chunyu Qiong's position as a veteran who relied on his seniority even more embarrassing. Seeing newcomers climbing onto him one after another, although Chunyu Qiong also admitted that these people were more capable than him, it did not mean that he was willing to let these people climb onto his own. But facing reality, Chunyu Qiong could only drink to drown his sorrows, and the result was that he was gradually alienated by Yuan Shao.
"General, this place is close to Pingyang's territory. Guan Yu may come over at any time. It's better not to stay for a long time." A personal guard whispered.
"Guan Yu?" Chunyu Qiong's face did not hide his disgust. He was another nameless person who rose after him. He now hates such people very much.
Take off the wine bag from the horse's back, ignore everyone's advice, and sneered several times, "Yan Liang is afraid of him, I'm not afraid. When this general was appointed as the Eighth School of Xiyuan in Luoyang, Guan Yu didn't know where to play in the corner!"
The identity of the Eighth School in Xiyuan is probably the only thing Chunyu Qiong can show off now. After all, at that time, in terms of grades, his status was no less than Yuan Shao.
After taking another sip of wine, Chunyu Qiong said angrily: "Don't look at the defeat of Yan Liang's child in his hands. He did not meet this general, otherwise, Guan Yu might not be the enemy of this general."
The muscles on the faces of several guards twitched a few times, and Chunyu Qiong was so crazy that he had the ability to drink. With his friendship with Yuan Shao, he would not have ended up being scolded by Yan Liang before these three armies.
Rumble ~
The earth suddenly trembled violently, and a muffled thunder came from a distance. Chunyu Qiong and others subconsciously looked up, but they saw that at the end of the official road, smoke and dust rolled towards this side like huge waves. The rumbling sound became closer and closer, and became clearer. A large banner of Guan gradually became clearer in sight.
"It's Guan Yu's soldiers, general, go quickly!" Several personal guards changed their faces and hurriedly pulled Chunyu Qiong to leave.
"What are you afraid of!" Chunyu Qiong shook everyone away, snorted coldly, turned over, shook his head and raised his big knife, looked at everyone, "Do you think I am joking with you again? So what about Guan Yu? Let's see that I will cut off his head and go to Yan Liang to see if he has any face to be arrogant in front of me!"
The guards were very anxious when they heard this. When Chunyu Qiong drank, he became so brave that he was so brave that even Yuan Shao dared to contradict him. At this moment, listening to his drinking words, everyone dared not take it seriously. When they wanted to force Chunyu Qiong away, the cavalry on the opposite side had already arrived.
There were only thirty or fifty cavalry, and the number of people was not large. Seeing this, the guards felt a little relieved. As the vanguard general of the court, Guan Yu was probably impossible to come with a small group of people. He should be the court's whistle detective like them.
"Let's array! Welcoming the enemy!" Seeing this, Chunyu Qiong became more courageous and waved his hand gracefully and ordered a group of personal guards to line up. Although he came out to patrol this time, he brought many personal guards, with a total of two hundred people. Although the other side was all cavalry, he could not exert his power on this official road. Two hundred personal guards were enough to deal with them.
After discovering this army, the imperial army slowly stopped charging. A young general rushed out of the crowd and came to the front of the formation. He frowned and looked at the Jizhou army and said loudly: "I am Guan Ping, the captain of Guoyi. Who is the leader of the thief? Why don't you come out and die quickly!"
"Ha~" Chunyu Qiong sneered, slapped out, and pointed his sword at Guan Ping: "A little lieutenant dares to speak wildly. Don't say anything about Guan Ping. Even if Guan Yu comes, I will not take it seriously. I will quickly go back and tell Guan Yu that the right army captain, one of the eight schools in Xiyuan, in the past, was now Chunyu Qiong, the largest general in Jizhou, is here. Let Guan Yu come quickly, and this general will cut off his head in person!"
Guan Ping frowned and looked at Chunyu Qiong. The series of titles made him a little confused and looked at Chunyu Qiong in surprise. When Guan Yu fought against Yan Liang, Guan Ping was by his side. Yan Liang's fierceness had already surprised Guan Ping, but what surprised him even more was that Yan Liang was not the number one strong general under Yuan Shao's command? Chunyu Qiong looked so arrogant, but no matter how Guan Ping looked, he didn't think this person was so powerful.
He raised his eyebrows and sneered, "By you, I also want to fight with my father, and I will defeat the big knife in my hand first."
"So it's Guan Yu's son." Chunyu Qiong sneered: "Okay, let me teach you a lesson, so that Guan Yu would not think that I only have Yan Liang, the only one who can make money in Jizhou!"
Guan Ping frowned when he heard this. It seemed that this person said Yan Liang like this. It seemed that he was a little capable. He judged others by himself. Whether in Liu Bei's army or in the court army, he always pursued the concept of the strong as respect. Those who could speak Yan Liang so unscrupulously in front of the two armies were probably because their status was really higher than Yan Liang.
Do your best! Even if you lose, you must not lose your father’s face!
Guan Ping had already developed the determination to fight with all his might. He shouted loudly, slapped out, and rushed straight towards Chunyu Qiong.
"Hmph!" Chunyu Qiong sneered, clamped his legs and used the power of alcohol to urge the horse's speed to the fastest, and the two war horses approached quickly.
Guan Ping's body was slightly lowered, and the style of the big sword in his hand was quite similar to Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword. He was the son of Guan Yu. In recent years, he received the true teaching of Guan Yu with Guan Yu's battles in the south and north. Although he was not as good as Guan Yu, he also had Guan Yu's seven or eight points in a hurry. At the moment when his body was low, a momentum like a tiger and leopard came naturally. Guan Yu's sword technique was the most powerful word. Even if he encountered a strong enemy, he would never lose in terms of momentum.
The two war horses approached quickly, and in a moment they had already approached. Guan Ping shouted loudly, suddenly exerted force, and the big knife dragged on the ground brought a cloud of soil fog in the air, and a green light flashed through the air, sweeping towards Chunyu Qiong's throat.
"Puff~"
The two horses crossed, and their big heads soared into the sky. Chunyu Qiong was on the back of the horse, still in a position to chop down, but his head had already flew far away. The arrogant and arrogant expression on his face was still there, but his pupils were already dissipated.
Wow ~
Guan Ping tied his horse and stopped. He turned his head and looked at Chunyu Qiong's headless corpse that fell from the horse's back with a wonderful expression.
A feeling of being deceived arises naturally. He originally thought it was a hard battle, and he was even prepared to be defeated and killed, but the result surprised him.
Is this the most powerful general in Jizhou, even more powerful general than Yan Liang? Are you trying to scare yourself to death?
"General!" A group of personal guards were shocked to see this. Although he knew that Chunyu Qiong was bragging before, he was not facing Guan Yu's original deity, but Guan Yu's son. He originally thought that he could last at least a few rounds, but who knew that he would be chopped up after one encounter. The group of personal guards felt a feeling of being a dog at the same time. It was a battle without any suspense.
"Get out!" Guan Ping suddenly turned around, his eyes were as cold as lightning, and he swept past these guards. A sense of heroism arose. He followed Guan Yu to fight south and north for so many years, but there were not many opportunities for Guan Ping to kill the enemy general in such a refreshing momentum. He had some experience of the essence of Guan Yu's sword technique. It was precisely because he concentrated all his strength that he could kill Chunyu Qiong in one move, and that kind of indomitable momentum could burst out.
If Liu Xie paid attention to Guan Ping's ability at this moment, he would definitely find that this general with a military value of only 84. At this moment, his military value suddenly increased by a large margin, reaching the level of 90, and was only one line away from the top.
