Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

In the end, Zhang He never waited for Guan Yu's attack. After Guan Yu reorganized his troops, he quietly retreated in the dark night.

Zhang He looked at the empty tent, feeling a little bit unbelievable.

In Guan Yu's eyes, Taiyuan City is now in a precarious situation and can be conquered in the blink of an eye. How could he give up easily?

Could it be that he saw through my plan? It doesn't seem likely.

Just yesterday, the soldiers under Guan Yu's command were still charging forward with an attitude determined to win. How could such a change happen in just a few hours?

Did he send out the raiding troops, revealing their whereabouts and making Guan Yu alert?

Zhang He felt that this possibility was also low. He had hidden his troops in the forests long ago and had been very careful. If they were really discovered by Guan Yu, he would definitely send soldiers to strangle them. How could he wait until now?

Zhang He is a little confused?

Although Guan Yu withdrew from Taiyuan under the coercion of Liu Bei.

But Guan Yu was not in a good mood. How could he be convinced by giving up the Taiyuan City, which was within his reach, just for a false hypothesis?

"Second brother, don't be discouraged. Now that the war with Yuan Shao is imminent, why worry about not having the opportunity to make achievements?"

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu, who seemed a little depressed, and tried to persuade him.

Although Guan Yu felt resentful, he did not dare to blame Liu Yu and Liu Bei.

He could only attribute this resentment to Xu Shu.

If Xu Shu had not reported to Uncle Liu that he had disobeyed military orders, would the situation have been like this today?

Yuanzhi misled me!

Along the way, Guan Yu's attitude towards Xu Shu was very cold. When Xu Shu was young, he was also a chivalrous man, but after years of studying, his character became more stable.

Seeing Guan Yu's attitude, Xu Shu could only smile bitterly but did not refute.

However, Liu Bei noticed the strange atmosphere between the two, and talked a lot with Xu Shu, trying to mediate.

After walking for a while, the group arrived at Shangjun.

At this moment, a man on a flying horse came to report.

"General Guan, something terrible has happened. A Yuan army suddenly appeared outside Chang'an City and has now surrounded the city."

When Guan Yu heard this, the arrogance in his heart disappeared instantly, replaced by horror and panic.

"When did it happen? How many troops are there on the other side?"

"Just half a day ago, there were at least 20,000 soldiers and horses."

"Are you sure you can see that it is Yuan Shao's army?"

"General Guan, it is absolutely true. General Zhang ordered me to risk my life to leave the city so that General Guan can return to help quickly."

After hearing the news, Guan Yu broke out in a cold sweat. He knew the military strength of Chang'an City best. Now he had taken away all the elite troops of Chang'an City, and the remaining old, weak and sick had little combat effectiveness at all.

The emperor is in Chang'an. If I cannot rush to Chang'an's rescue in time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Uncle Liu had anticipated all this. He was afraid that he would refuse to obey orders, so he asked his eldest brother to come and deliver the message.

According to Guan Yu's character, Taiyuan would have been captured if Liu Bei had not come with orders.

Guan Yu might not necessarily retreat.

Now he is not far from Chang'an City. If he rushes back, he can reach Chang'an City in three hours at the fastest.

Three hours is already enough to satisfy the current Chang'an City.

Guan Yu really couldn't imagine what would happen to Chang'an City if he disobeyed military orders and continued to attack Taiyuan?

The people suffered? The corpses were everywhere? The emperor was captured? All the previous efforts were wasted?

Thinking of this, Guan Yu's face became noticeably more red.

"Brother, did you come here and almost miss something important?"

"Second brother, quickly mobilize the troops. I will fight back to Chang'an with you immediately."

Guan Yu did not dare to delay for a moment. He organized the cavalry and advanced quickly towards Chang'an with Liu Bei.

By the time Liu Bei, Guan Yu and their men returned to Chang'an City, it was already dusk.

The shouts and cries of killing outside Chang'an City still did not stop. Guan Yu did not dare to hesitate and led the cavalry to charge.

Xu Shu stood on a high place, carefully observing the situation on the battlefield. He saw that although Yuan's army was powerful, they had not broken through the city of Chang'an, and he felt relieved.

According to the combat effectiveness of the defenders outside Chang'an City, it is impossible for them to hold out for such a long time.

While Xu Shu was hesitating, he had already seen Man Chong standing on the city wall. In the light of the fire, Man Chong's face was covered with bloodstains, but he was still in high spirits.

Beside him stood nearly a hundred Chang'an guards. Judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they had already experienced a fierce battle.

Not far from Man Chong, there was a general in armor, holding a spear, as sharp as a dragon emerging from the sea. No one in front of him could stand a chance against him.

It was Chen Dao, Chen Shuzhi.

When Xu Shu saw this situation, he secretly rejoiced that thanks to the quick reaction of several people and the combined force, the 20,000-strong army was able to break through the city wall in a short period of time.

However, judging from the current situation, the city walls are already filled with Yuan’s troops, and it can be said that it has reached a life-and-death moment.

If they had come back a step later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Guan Yu had been on the battlefield for a long time and was well aware of the situation in front of him. He led the cavalry into the enemy camp. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand flashed a cold light in the air, and several people fell in front of his horse.

At this time, Guan Yu's mind was filled with anger. He could not imagine, and dared not imagine, the possible consequences.

He was like a killing god, an angry killing god, constantly killing the lives of the Yuan family.

Liu Bei followed Guan Yu closely, stabbing and stabbing with the double-edged sword in his hand continuously.

Although Liu Bei's martial arts were not as good as those of the top generals, he was still able to handle these soldiers with ease.

Xu Shu saw that although the cavalry had broken through Yuan’s camp, they still did not suffer a rout.

He couldn't help but feel a little anxious. On paper, although Guan Yu brought the cavalry to return to support in time, his troops were still far behind Yuan's army.

Once a stalemate occurs, Yuan's army is likely to regain the upper hand.

Xu Shu whispered to his guards, and everyone understood.

For a moment, shouts of General Guan returning for help rang out outside the city of Chang'an.

Man Chong, who was on the city wall, woke up instantly when he heard the voice.

General Guan has returned to help!

The shouting became louder and louder, and it was almost covering up the sounds of killing.

Yuan's army had originally launched a surprise attack and had been unable to capture the city after a long siege, so their morale was already very low. After hearing this shout, their morale instantly collapsed.

The soldiers retreated one after another, the defeat was like a landslide, and countless people were trampled to death.

Guan Yu naturally would not give up the opportunity to pursue, and after another hour of fighting, he finally killed all the Yuan troops who were attacking by surprise.

Guan Yu, covered in blood, came before Xu Shu and bowed down.

"Yuanzhi, please forgive me for my frivolous behavior."
