Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 402 New 3 Kingdoms 42

"This is not Kong Ming's fault. Liu Xuande is a man who is self-righteous before he has achieved anything. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are arrogant, uneducated, impulsive and reckless. I noticed this when I was assisting Liu Bei. No matter how I advised them to stop the troops and rest, they would not accept it and insisted on attacking Runan. As a result, they were defeated, lost troops and territory, and became a stray dog again. I second attached to Liu Biao."

Xu Shu said that you think they are difficult to serve, and I have suffered a lot from them as well.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I have already decided not to work for Liu Xuande anymore. I plan to go back to Longzhong and continue tilling a few acres of thin land." Zhuge Liang's tone sounded like relief.

"I'm afraid you can't go back." Xu Shu shook his head.

"Why?" Zhuge Liang asked with a frown.

"Kong Ming, why do you think Xu Shu appeared in Xiakou?" Xu Shu asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid it wasn't Yuanzhi's intention to hold me hostage. It was done by someone behind the scenes, but I can't guess who that person is." Zhuge Liang sighed.

"Kong Ming, don't worry too much about this. This is the official seal of the governor of Runan County. Xu Shu is sending you to take up the office." Xu Shu took out the official seal wrapped in silk cloth from his arms.

"Chen Yuanlong doesn't seem to have the courage!" Zhuge Liang took the official seal without hesitation.

"Kong Ming, just go to your post and do your job well. Don't say anything else!" Xu Shu said mysteriously.

"I am becoming more and more confused about the world nowadays." Zhuge Liang did not dwell on this matter.

"To be honest, I don't understand it either. But it can't be worse than the rise of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others. For example, at least in the counties ruled by the Xuzhou army, people's lives are peaceful." Xu Shu said with a smile.

Amid Xu Shu's laughter, Zhuge Liang turned his head to look in the direction of Runan County, and his originally numb eyes gradually brightened.

After defeating Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei in succession, Xuzhou became increasingly mysterious. The governor Chen Deng also downplayed his influence. The world only knew about the Xuzhou army but not the governor Chen Yuanlong.

Shortly after Zhuge Liang took office as the governor of Runan County, Liu Bei suddenly assembled his troops and marched north to attack the counties that were originally divided by the tripartite contract, in an attempt to find a breakthrough in the current deadlock.

At this time, Cao Cao was busy consolidating the division caused by Mrs. Ding's departure and preparing for the northern expedition to destroy the three Yuans. Cao Ren would not take the initiative to disrupt the current internal situation in Jingzhou without orders.

On the other hand, in Jiangdong, Sun Ce made two consecutive failures after Chibi, which led to a significant reduction in Sun Quan's authority. The gentry was ready to make moves and had no time to deal with the outside world.

Liu Bei focused his attention on Xuzhou again. He sent Guan Yu to the front line to guard against a possible attack by Lu Su, the governor of Jiangdong, while he took Zhang Fei and 50,000 troops to attack Runan in two routes.

When the news reached Jiangdong, Lu Su was actually seriously ill and unable to manage affairs, so he was sent back to Chaisang. Deputy Governor-General Lu Meng was fully responsible for the war on the western front.

After Lu Meng defected to Sun Quan, he was despised by a group of veteran generals who followed Sun Ce. In this situation, Lu Meng had to find a way to do something big to improve his status in Jiangdong.

So when Liu Bei and Zhang Fei led their troops north, Lu Meng personally deployed a surprise attack.

As I said, as long as someone brings trouble to Cao, Liu, Sun, Guan and Zhang, he will help them, even if it is the bastard Lu Meng who attacked Guan Yu this time. After Guan Yu is finished, Lu Meng will also be finished, after all, Sun Quan has been dissatisfied with the position of the governor for a long time.

It is a winter, the north wind is blowing and the snowflakes are floating.

The evil soldiers from Jiangdong took off their armor in the middle of the night, put on white clothes and swam across the Yangtze River with daggers in their mouths, climbed up the corner tower set up by Liu Bei's army on the riverside, and stabbed the guarding soldiers to death.

In this way, the corner towers on the Yangtze River were demolished one by one. Lu Meng led his troops to land on the north bank and rushed straight to the military camp.

Guan Yu has been very unhappy these days. His eldest brother and third brother went to the war, but left him here to starve. It's not that he looks down on anyone, but those Jiangdong idiots are such a waste that it's a waste for him to come here to guard the gate.

Because of this, he was never nice to anyone in the barracks, and even his son Guan Xing was slapped twice.

"Father, why are you always so unhappy?"

"Your uncle and third uncle went to the war, leaving me here doing nothing." Guan Yu said, slapping the table.

"Father, my uncle entrusted you with the important task of defending Jiangdong because he trusts you." Guan Xing said cautiously.

"Hmph, what does a kid know! A mere rat from Jiangdong actually asked me, Guan Yu, to guard against him. It's like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken!" Guan Yu slammed the table again.

Just as the table was slammed and shouts of killing were heard, the messenger crawled into the tent to report.

"Report, General, the Jiangdong navy attacked our camp! Our army has suffered heavy casualties and can no longer hold on."

"Humph! How dare you, you Jiangdong rat? When I go out to fight, I will scare them into death!"

Guan Yu kicked the messenger aside, picked up his Green Dragon Crescent Blade and strode out of the tent. What caught his eyes at this moment was the sky full of fire and the chaotic fleeing of his own soldiers.

I've seen all kinds of scenes. This is child's play. Thinking of this, Guan Yu ignored Guan Xing behind him and rushed forward. When he reached a higher place, he raised his sword and shouted.

"Guan Yu is here. How dare you, Jiangdong rats, launch a sneak attack and do such a despicable thing? Get out of the camp immediately and I will spare your lives!"

"Are you Guan Yu? I'm still Liu Bei!"

Yu Xian transformed himself into a Jiangdong general and came behind Guan Yu, kicking him on the butt. Guan Yu was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

As expected of the villain who was wearing a suit and talking about how to play with his life for a few hundred dollars, he quickly steadied himself and turned around to look at the person who attacked him.

"Don't you know me, Guan Yu? How dare you launch a sneak attack!" Guan Yu stroked his beard as he looked at this ordinary general and scolded him coldly.

"You, Guan Yu, have a big face!" Yu Xian pointed the gun at Guan Yu's nose and said sarcastically.

"Hmph, I'll kill you!"

Guan Yu was furious and swung his Green Dragon Crescent Blade towards Yu Xian. Yu Xian took a half step back with his right foot, and his body led the spear to rotate. The spear tip dragged a bright arc like a meteor and hit the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

The broad and heavy blade was actually broken into two pieces by the slightly thin spear head, and Guan Yu suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade had been broken. Yu Xian took advantage of Guan Yu's distraction to put away his spear, then went forward with his bare hands and removed the hilt from his hand.

"Who are you? Don't you know me, Guan Yu?" Guan Yu didn't expect that this ordinary person would be so ruthless.

"You insulted the name Guan Yu."

As Yu Xian spoke, he used Tai Chi to strike Guan Yu's left shoulder. Guan Yu could only raise his hands to fight back.

But he didn't expect that his strength and martial arts were nothing in front of him. Before he could even throw a punch or a kick, Yu Xian broke his limbs and threw him to the ground.

"Guan Er, you despise this and suspect that, but have you ever thought about how you would end up today?" Yu Xian drew out his Tang sword and placed it on Guan Yu's shoulder and asked.

"You, a nameless rat, don't know a hero. I advise you to release Guan, tie your arms and surrender, and I will spare your life!" Guan Yu lost to the person but not the words.

"Hehe, your life is in my hands, how can you have the nerve to speak so shamelessly!" Yu Xian said as he cut off his hat with a knife.

"You guys ruined my dream, do you know that?" Yu Xian said dejectedly as he looked at Guan Yu with disheveled hair.
