Jianming Chaos

After the light disappeared, Guan Yu slowly came back to his senses, and said strangely: "Why do I feel like I am fighting with my own people? Zhiming, why are you here? Where is Cao Cao?"

"Brother Yun, you just fell under the enemy's sorcery and have been attacking me. Cao Cao has already entered the city." Zhiming put his sword back into its sheath and said.

"Could it be that we were fighting all the time just now?" Guan Yu didn't know what happened.

"That's right, your sword skills are too ruthless, I was almost killed by you. But fortunately, you woke up later." Zhiming didn't want to tell him about the Excalibur.

Guan Yu recalled it for a while, and said: "By the way, when I was about to kill Cao Cao just now, I suddenly felt a flash in front of my eyes, and then I lost consciousness."

"Do you remember who was beside Cao Cao at that time?"

"I remember that I repelled several of Cao Jun's generals at that time, and only Xu Shu was left by his side. I don't know if it is real or fake....Oh, that's right!" Guan Yu slapped his head, "Just when I raised the knife At that time, I unintentionally glanced at Xu Shu, felt his eyes flicker, and then I didn’t know anything. At that time, I was so focused on killing Cao that I didn’t pay attention to the people around me. Now that I think about it, it should be the moment Xu Shu’s eyes flickered. Hired."

Zhiming nodded and said, "As I thought, that should be the fake Xu Shu. You were indeed mind-controlled by him just now. If you guessed right, he should be the general of the White Tigers, a person who can use magic. Although I don't know what method he used to make himself like Xu Shu."

"I can't believe that there are such incredible things in this troubled world. If he used the same trick to deal with us in the county government that day, wouldn't it be troublesome?" Guan Yu looked up at the night sky and felt that the universe was too wonderful.

"I guess certain conditions are required to use this trick, otherwise we would all have been tricked and killed each other in the county government that day." Zhiming analyzed.

"The White Tigers are really too strong, can we really deal with them?" Guan Yu worried.

"Don't worry, Brother Yun, as long as we work together, no one can defeat us." Zhiming was full of confidence.Ever since he got the Devil Slaying Sword, he has become more "confident and fearless".

The city gates are closed.They saw the torches on the tower, and with the help of the torches, they clearly saw Cao Cao and the fake Xu Shu standing on it, watching them.

The eyes of Zhiming and Xu Shu met, as if two magnetic fields were competing with each other.Xu Shu questioned the other party with his gaze: How did you come back from Wujie?Zhiming also questioned the other party with his eyes: Who are you?

Cao Cao asked Xu Shu: "It's understandable for Guan Yu to let me go, but why did they start killing each other?"

Xu Shu thought for a while and said, "I once heard a sorcerer say that when people's emotions fluctuate greatly, they may be bewitched by evil spirits in a short period of time and regard friends as enemies. Just now when Guan Yu raised his sword to kill the Prime Minister , Suddenly thinking of the old kindness of the prime minister, his heart softened for a moment, and he couldn't do anything. At this time, his emotions were greatly impacted by contradictions, which caused his mental system to collapse suddenly at that moment, so he was bewitched; and the time of bewitching is generally not It will be more than an hour, he just recovered."

"Is there such a strange thing?"

"Yes, during the Warring States period, someone studied this issue in depth. I have also consulted related books before, but it has been too long and I can't remember clearly."

"So it is." Cao Cao believed it.

What Xu Shu didn't understand the most was why the spell he cast on Guan Yu was dispelled so quickly. Logically speaking, it would take at least an hour for the caster to recover.

Suddenly, he remembered seeing Zhiming's sword shining for a while, and thought: "The sun has already set, this is definitely not reflecting sunlight. I felt it once in the county government last time. It should be a magical weapon that can break my sword." How did he get this sword?"

Seeing that there was no movement below, Cao Cao asked, "They still haven't left, do they intend to surrender?"

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Impossible, even surrendering is a false surrender."

"How does the military division plan to deal with them?"

"Let them go, so as not to damage the troops. Their physical strength is limited, so they won't stay here for long; our army's top priority is to pursue Liu Bei and Kong Ming."

"Yes!" Cao Cao slapped his head, "I almost forgot about this! Send troops from the south gate immediately!"

He gathered people to discuss and decided to lead his troops across the river to hunt down Liu Bei and Kong Ming, leaving only a few people to guard the city.

Zhiming discussed with Guan Yu and decided to retreat and go to Xiangyang to find Liu Bei.In fact, Zhiming could break through the city gate easily, but it was inconvenient for him to show his edge in front of Guan Yu; and he didn't know the details of the fake Xu Shu, so he didn't dare to rush in to avoid defeat.

Guan Yu said: "I know a small road that can bypass Fancheng and the Han River and go directly to Xiangyang."

"Let's go." Zhiming sighed for the sacrifice of the Warriors, and took a shortcut with Guan Yu.

…………

Let's go back.After leaving the shore, the fleet sailed into the Han River and slowly headed for Xiangyang.The setting sun is about to go, the sky is covered with a large piece of burning clouds, the river is covered with the afterglow of the setting sun, sparkling, and in the distance is the end where the water and the sky meet. appreciate.Most of the people on board were poor peasants, women holding children were weeping silently, and old people stared blankly at the river, falling into grief.

Seeing this situation, Liu Bei couldn't help getting up, and impromptuly chanted a poem: "The red light is like a raging flame in the sky, and the fire flickers and melts my heart; the golden sparkle all over the river is like a mirror, and the undulating waves reflect my feelings."

Seeing that he loves the people like a son so much, Kongming sighed with emotion.If Liu Bei had readily accepted Liu Biao's trust, he wouldn't have fallen to this point now, and Cao Cao wouldn't have had the pie that fell from the sky.Kong Ming has been unable to figure out, what kind of feelings are deep in Liu Bei's heart?Fighting with this benevolent heart, can you really defeat Cao Cao?Can he become the Lord of Shuhan in the future?

After dusk, the boats began to leak due to overloading. Fortunately, they were almost on the shore.Liu Bei's ship docked first, and he ordered Sun Qian and Jian Yong to maintain order while commanding the ships behind to dock safely.

Under the guidance of Sun Qian and others, everyone went ashore in an orderly manner and walked towards the east gate of Xiangyang.

When he came outside the east gate, Liu Bei vaguely saw Liu Cong on the city tower, and shouted to him: "Nephew Liu Cong, please open the city gate quickly. I was hunted down by Cao Jun, and now I am leading the people of Xinye and Fancheng to flee here. My nephew takes me in!"

Liu Cong heard the voice and quickly avoided it.Liu Bei continued to shout: "I just want to save the people, I have no other intentions, my nephew, please open the city gate quickly!"

Liu Cong was jealous and didn't dare to respond for a moment.Seeing this, Cai Mao on the side hurriedly ordered the sergeant to shoot arrows to drive them away.

In an instant, arrows flew like locusts, and everyone ran back hurriedly; many old, weak, sick and disabled were unable to dodge in time, and fell to the ground from the arrows.Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun protected Liu Bei and his family to escape.

People didn't stop until they fled out of range.Liu Bei looked back and saw that the people had fallen, and they were very worried.

He saw a pregnant woman lying on the ground with an arrow in her thigh and seemed to be able to move, so he hurriedly ordered Zhao Yun to rescue her.

Zhao Yun rushed forward immediately, and before he had time to help the pregnant woman up, he shot another arrow, killing two dead bodies.

Zhao Yun was taken aback for a moment, then counted the arrows and shot them again.He brandished his silver spear and blocked them all.The rain of arrows became heavier and heavier, so he had no choice but to retreat.

When Liu Bei saw that the other party was disregarding human life, he pointed to the top of the tower angrily and said, "Cai Mao, I know it's you! You slaughtered people, and I am at odds with you!"

Cai Mao shouted to Liu Bei: "This city is under the control of Prime Minister Cao. The prime minister has ordered me to guard the city gate and not let you enter! Please leave quickly, or you will be killed!"

Zhao Yun was filled with righteous indignation and was about to rush towards the city gate when Liu Bei stopped him and said, "Zilong, don't be impulsive! The current situation is not good for us, let's wait and see."

At this time, a general in the city led hundreds of people to rush up to the tower and shouted: "Cai Mao, you traitor, Uncle Liu Huang was hunted down by the Han thieves to this point, you not only did not come to rescue, but fell into trouble, I, Wei Yan, will do justice for the sky today! !"

Wei Yan led his troops to the tower and started killing.He raised his sword and took Cai Mao straight.

Zhang Yun ordered several soldiers to step forward to stop him.Wei Yan's murderous aura was in full swing, and he swung his sword across, knocking down several people.

Zhang Yun was furious and drew his sword to face each other.The blades clashed for more than [-] times, Zhang Yun was gradually lost, and hurriedly let Cai Mao go first.Cai Mao nodded, and fled to the bottom of the tower under the protection of everyone.

Wei Yan wanted to chase him, but Zhang Yun stopped him and said, "Don't be distracted, your opponent is me!"

Wei Yan yelled loudly and used a sharp sword technique, beating Zhang Yun backwards every step of the way.

Fearing that Cai Mao would escape, Wei Yanxu yelled, scaring Zhang Yun away, and chased him down, but he was still a step too late, so he ordered his men to kill the gatekeepers, opened the city gate, lowered the suspension bridge, and shouted: "Uncle Liu Huang, quickly lead the army!" When the people enter the city, I, Wei Yan, will open the way for you!"

It turned out that this man was Liu Biao's loyal minister, with the character Wen Chang. He had long hated Cai Mao and his group, but seeing how he treated Liu Bei and the people of the two counties, he couldn't bear it, so he led his loyal men to rebel.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard the sound from a distance, and led the soldiers and civilians to the city gate.

Wei Yan had already controlled the entire city tower and gate at this moment. He thought the plan had been successful, but he suddenly shouted from behind: "Young general Wei Yan, how dare you rebel!"

Wei Yan looked back and saw that General Wenpin had led the army.He was furious and rushed forward to fight.The two fought fiercely for several rounds, regardless of victory or defeat.

Liu Bei and his party have arrived at the city.Zhang Fei said, "Let me go in and help him!"

Liu Bei stopped him and said, "Don't hurt the common people, hold back."

Zhang Fei's palms were itchy, but Liu Bei was kind-hearted and didn't want to hurt innocent people, so he had to bear it for now.

Seeing Wen and Wei's armies fighting in the city, shouting loudly and dust billowing, Liu Bei said helplessly, "Forget it, let's go elsewhere. This place is not our destination, and we don't feel at ease if we go in."

Kong Ming also said: "Yes, going in now will only aggravate the situation. 'There is no place to stay here, but there is a place to stay'. Jiangxia is not far from Xiangyang. Should we go there and join Mr. Liu Qi?"

Liu Bei thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Young Master Liu guards Jiangxia only to prevent Soochow from invading; we and other downcast people will hurt him if we go there, so let's go somewhere else."

Kong Ming had already expected that he would say this, so he said: "In this case, let's go to Jiangling. There is enough money and food, but the journey is a bit far away. Now there are no boats, so we have to go on foot. Cao Cao's clutches will return in a while. It cannot be stretched across the entire Jingzhou."

So, everyone had no choice but to continue to drag their tired bodies and head towards Jiangling.

The Wen and Wei armies were still fighting, and Wei Yan was only focused on fighting, but he didn't notice that Liu Bei and his party had left.The two armies fought until dark. Due to the weakness of the Wei army, the whole army was wiped out, leaving only Wei Yan alone.

Wei Yan was attacked by the enemy, and he tried his best to chop more than ten people off their horses in a row, and no one dared to approach them for a while.

Wenpin secretly ordered the nearby archers to stand by.Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, the archer released a hidden arrow.

Wei Yan was caught off guard for a moment, and was shot in the back and left arm respectively, and fell off the horse.He quickly got up, gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow, and blood flowed profusely immediately.

Wenpin said to Wei Yan: "You have made a big mistake and you can't turn back. If you don't surrender quickly, please let me save you from death!"

Wei Yan didn't answer him, and slashed at him with a knife, Wen Pin hurriedly raised his knife to resist.Wei Yan used too much force and broke his knife.

Wenpin was startled, hurriedly stepped aside, and said to the sergeant: "Whoever kills Wei Yan will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"

When the sergeants heard that the bounty amount was close to astronomical figures, they tried their best to encircle and suppress them.

Seeing that all his subordinates had died and he was injured again, Wei Yan dared not love to fight, so he fought hard to open a bloody road and fled.Reluctantly, the gate of the city was closed, so he had no choice but to rush up the tower.

The defenders besieged him.Wei Yan became so bloody that he grabbed a knife and chopped down several people with two knives.He looked behind him, Wenjun had already chased him, and before he had time to think about it, he jumped off the moat.

Wenpin led the troops to rush up the tower and ordered the archers to shoot arrows into the river.

After a round of random arrows, no movement could be seen below.Wen Pin hurriedly ordered to open the city gate and let the sailors jump into the river to search for people, but nothing was found.

Since it was dark night, it was difficult to hunt down, so Wenpin had no choice but to give up.

Wei Yan had already climbed ashore, but he couldn't see Liu Bei, so he dragged his wounded body and headed towards Changsha.

Cai Mao said to Liu Cong: "Don't be surprised, my lord. I have driven Liu Bei and his party away, and the rebels have also been wiped out."

After hearing this, Liu Cong kept silent, just feeling uncomfortable.

Soon, Guan Yu and Zhiming came to the east gate and felt something was wrong when they saw corpses all over the ground.Guan Yu said, "It must be Cai Mao who didn't let elder brother enter the city, so he shot him away with arrows."

Zhiming asked, "Then what should we do?"

"Military Master Kong Ming said before boarding the boat that if they can't enter Xiangyang, they will probably go to Jiangling. We just saw the sinking boat on the east bank, which proves that they can't get on the boat. Let's go, they take the people, It shouldn't be far." After Guan Yu finished speaking, he and Zhiming turned their horses and headed towards Jiangling.
