The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Xu Zhong, Xun You and others sent Guan Yu off on the shore.

In order not to attract the attention of the other side, the boats prepared for Guan Yu were not large. Although they were not large, one boat was enough to carry about twenty people. Guan Yu selected a total of more than 200 elite soldiers, and a ship with 20 people, that is, more than ten ships would be enough.

At the moment, all the people flocked to the shore and boarded the boat to cross.

The night was dark and the glacier was cold.

Watching Guan Yu and others gradually disappear into the night, Xu Zhong, as the main general, could not stay on the shore for a long time, so he returned to the main camp with Xun You and others who came to see Guan Yu off, to deal with the next step of the military, and prepare for the whole army to cross the river. , and Liu Bei was very caring, but he refused to leave immediately, and stayed on the shore. Although Guan Yu and others and the ship were no longer visible, he could still see from afar.

Looking at it for a long time, he held the hilt of the ring sword that was hanging on his waist, which was already cold and biting. He was full of expectations for Guan Yu's departure, but he didn't realize that he was worried about Guan Yu. Go, if Xu County is successfully taken down, then Xiapi has already entered our army's hands! If it fails, our army will probably be in a hard fight!"

Jian Yong knew that although he was concerned about the battle situation in his words, he was actually worried about Guan Yu's safety, so he smiled and replied calmly: "Yun Chang has the inappropriate courage of ten thousand husbands, and he is the leader of our ministry. The elites of the army are all those who dared to fight, and they have both Que Sima and Xu County's local water and lake heroes to help each other, and they also raid at night and take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness. It is expected that it will not be difficult to capture Xu County."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "I hope so."

Jian Yong looked at the water, only to see that the river was safe, and there was no trace of Guan Yu and others passing by, so he smiled and said: "The wind is cold by the water, Xuande, even if you stand here all night, you can't give Yun Chang the slightest bit. I'm very helpful. Now that we are fighting against Fang Qi, Jun Jiu has a heroic intention. If you suffer from the wind and cold here, you will not be able to fight in the future. "

"All right."

Liu Bei turned his head three times in one step, left the shore with Jian Yong and other entourage, and went back to the camp.

But said Guan Yu and others.

One of the people who followed Guan Yu across the river was a guest of the Que Xuan family.

This Que Xuanmenke has three tasks.

One is to act as a middleman to contact the local water and lake heroes in Xu County; the other is to act as a messenger, ordering Que to announce that the person in the Xu County manor cooperates with Guan Yu; the other is to have the responsibility of guiding the way, Guan Yu and others Non-Xiapi natives, after crossing the river, are enemy land. They live in sparsely populated areas, and they must be guided by people who are familiar with the local roads.

Que Xuan was able to send this doorman to take on these three important responsibilities. First of all, it can be seen that this doorman must be Que Xuan's right-hand man, and the second one shows the courage of this doorman, the place where the battle is fought, the place where the corpse is erected, and there is no one who dares to participate. Timid people. In fact, this client was originally a bad boy in Huailing County, and it was because of his courage that he was recruited by Que Xuan and reused.

Although there was wind on the river, it was not too windy, and it was not a headwind. The soldiers on all boats were strong men. When they rowed, the speed of the boat was very fast. If they were not delayed by some floating ice on the water, they would have crossed Huaihe River The water and the time to reach the other side can be a little earlier.

Rao is so, when Guan Yu and others successfully crossed the Huai River and reached the other side, it was still early in the morning.

Although Zherong arranged some guard troops along the north bank of the Huai River, the Huai River runs through the entire Xiapi County from west to east. With the lakes on the north side of the Huai River, there is no need for fortification, and the remaining two hundred miles. With the number of troops, it is obvious that his line of defense will not be too strict, and the south bank of the Huai River Huailing and other counties were originally Zherong's territory, and he didn't need to set up a strict line of defense on the north bank of Huai River. In addition, there is now this Que Xuanmen guest who is familiar with roads and understands the reality of fortifications on the north bank as a guide, so Guan Yu The others came to the north bank without any danger, and quietly landed on the land of Huaibei.

In order to prevent the enemy on the other side from discovering their tracks too early, Guan Yu ordered all the boats that his soldiers were riding on to be scuttled. After watching them sink to the bottom of the river, he led the soldiers to leave the shore. The doorman led the way, avoiding the main road, choosing a small road, and before dawn, hurriedly marched towards the Hongze Lake group in the east.

——Guan Yu is indeed a tiger general. Although his act of digging the boat cannot be compared with Han Xin’s smashing the boat, it can also be seen from his actions that he has the confidence to win Xu County. If not , he could not cut off his own retreat.

The area where they landed was not far from the lake group of Hongze Lake, only a few miles apart.

Not long after walking, the water in front of him hit his face, and the sound of undulating waves was already in his ears. Guan Yu looked at it from a distance.

Guan Yu ordered his subordinates to suspend their advance, and summoned the guest from Que Xuan, who was nearby, and asked, "Is the front of the lake by the lake?"

Naque Xuanmenke replied, "Yes."

"Where is the hero in the lake that your master contacted?"

Que Xuan's doorman glanced at the reeds, turned around, and replied, "My master was ordered by General Xu to cross the river and contact the lake after the military meeting yesterday. I passed it on to them~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is the meeting place that my master agreed with them. I think they are already by the lake, but I don't know the military commander's calendar, so I dare not show up easily, maybe they are watching me from afar, I still ask the military Sima to be in no hurry, and you will find out when you go down there."

Liu Bei has now been promoted, from the Sima of another department to the captain of Yongnu, and Guan Yu has also been promoted, and is now the military Sima of Liu Bei's department.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and nodded, and said, "You go."

This guest of Que Xuan went straight to the lake.

Guan Yu ordered his subordinates to prepare for the battle, in case something changed, while staring at the guest, watching him sneak along the road and enter the reeds. After a while, he saw him emerge from the reeds again, but there were three more people beside him. .

Guan Yu felt a little relieved, but he still kept his subordinates on guard. When the guest and the three people came to the front, they looked closely and saw that the three people who came with the guest were all dressed in short clothes, with black scarves and buns. They all carry swords and are of different ages, but they are all very capable.

Guan Yu thought: "Before crossing the river, Wen Que declared that there are about seven or eight hundred water pirates in this lake who are willing to help our army attack Xu County, most of them are from Xu County, Huailing and other places, but also come from other places. The desperation, these three people should be the leader of them."
