Yuan Shao's 150,000-strong army came out with such huge momentum that it was impossible to hide it from the spies. The spies rushed forward and immediately spread the news to Qingzhou that Yuan Shao had sent his army south to attack the plains.

"Report, Yuan Shao personally led an army of 150,000, divided into seven armies, to attack the plains, with General Qu Yi as the vanguard and Zhang He as the deputy general. They are marching at full speed and have now reached Nanpi!"

With a look of panic on his face, the spy raised his hands to everyone in the house and said, "I'm afraid that within five days, the vanguard led by Qu Yi will arrive in the plain, and the army led by Yuan Shao will follow soon!"

"What?"

Upon hearing the spies' words, everyone in the entire mansion suddenly changed their expressions and were shocked.

Gu Rubing attacked Xuzhou and left with an army of 100,000 people. Now, those who stayed in Qingzhou were only 20,000 soldiers and horses, but Yuan Shao led an army of 150,000 people to attack. The difference in strength between the two was simply huge.

Guan Yufeng closed his eyes slightly and asked, "Is the news true?"

"General, my subordinates saw it with their own eyes!" The spy immediately answered with his hands raised.

Upon hearing the spy's affirmative answer, the atmosphere in the entire mansion suddenly became extremely depressing.

After a while, Xu Rong finally spoke, breaking the silence: "General Guan, you can pass the news to the lord first, and there are many yellow turban surrender troops in Qingzhou. They can be urgently recruited as new soldiers to resist Yuan Shao."

Hearing Xu Rong's words, Guoyuan, who was in charge of food and grass logistics, immediately said: "But there is not enough food and grass now. With the food and grass in Qingzhou now, the Yellow Turbans can only raise 20,000 at most. Moreover, the Yellow Turbans have no military discipline and have poor combat effectiveness." , it may be difficult to resist Yuan Shao."

"At this point, there is no other way."

Xu Rong took a deep breath, his face became more solemn than ever before, and said: "Only by recruiting 40,000 troops, can we possibly defend the plain before the lord comes back."

Hearing Xu Rong's words, everyone in the house looked a little ugly.

As Xu Rong said, the current situation is so serious that it is not whether the plain can be defended, but whether it can be defended before Gu Rubing comes back!

Even if the Yellow Turban surrender troops were urgently mobilized, plus the troops originally left in Qingzhou, it would be enough to form an army of 40,000, but facing an army of 150,000, there would still be a strength gap of nearly four times!

Moreover, there are many plains in Qingzhou, the terrain is flat, easy to attack but difficult to defend, and it is extremely easy to deploy an army. Therefore, even if they gather an army of 40,000, it is still unknown whether they can hold the plains before Gu Rubing comes back!

"Since eldest brother has entrusted Qingzhou to me, Qingzhou must not suffer any loss. If the city is destroyed, I will never have the face to see my brother again!"

At this time, Guan Yu finally made a decision and said: "I will lead my troops to the plain to resist the enemy first. General Xu, you urgently recruit the Yellow Turban surrender troops. After recruiting the Yellow Turban surrender troops, then come to the plain and follow me to attack Yuan Shao." .”

"yes!"

When Xu Rong heard this, he immediately nodded, cupped his hands and said.

Soon, after the discussion, everyone began to take action. The spies rushed to Xuzhou to post a letter. Xu Rong began to urgently mobilize the Yellow Turban troops stationed in the fields to surrender, while Guan Yu led his troops towards the plains.

Marching at full speed, Guan Yu led his army to Pingyuan in just two days and set up camp in Pingyuan County.

…………

Three days later.

Qu Yi finally led the leading troops to reach Pingyuan and began to march towards Pingyuan County.

Just as Qu Yi was preparing to lead his army to move forward, the scout who was in charge of exploring the front suddenly came towards Qu Yi on a fast horse and soon came to Qu Yi's side.

"General, Guan Yu has already set up camp in Pingyuan County. When he learned that the general led his army to attack, Guan Yu has already led his troops out of their tents and formed a formation to prepare for it."

The scout raised his hands and reported: "Guan Yu raised his sword and stood up in front of the three armies. He uttered slanderous words and said he wanted to behead the general!"

"oh?"

Hearing this, Qu Yi sneered and said: "How dare you speak so wildly? It just so happens that I have heard of Guan Yu's reputation a long time ago, and I will kill him today!"

"General, Guan Yu is majestic and powerful. When he attacked Dong Zhuo in the past, Hua Xiong killed three generals of the coalition army. The heroes did not dare to attack, but Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong with his sword. When he came back, his wine was still warm. Don't underestimate him! "

Yuan Tan, who was beside Qu Yi, said: "Our army is the vanguard. We can just set up camp where we are. It won't be too late to wait for my father to lead the army to join us and attack the plain together!"

"If I were the vanguard and directly conquered the plains, wouldn't it be my first achievement?"

Qu Yi's face was full of pride, he snorted disdainfully, and said: "Guan Yu? Humph, it's not worth mentioning!"

Yuan Tan wanted to persuade him again, but Qu Yi asked in reply: "Did you not know that in the Battle of Jieqiao, I led 800 soldiers to defeat Gongsun Zan's 10,000-strong cavalry?"

Hearing Qu Yi's words, Yuan Tan was speechless for a moment, shook his head and said: "Of course I know that the general's battle is so powerful in Hebei. The generals under Gongsun Zan's command have all been fearful since hearing the name of the general."

"In this case, could it be that I, Qu Yi, am no better than Guan Yu?" Qu Yi clenched the sword in his hand, and with murderous intent stirring in his body, he said, "Today I will chop Guan Yu with my sword to increase the power of the army!"

Yuan Tan hesitated for a moment, but finally stopped trying to persuade him. After all, it was Qu Yi, not him, who was in charge of commanding the vanguard troops. Moreover, Qu Yi was indeed a general. With the sound of his troops, he conquered the north and south and made great achievements.

"Walk!"

Qu Yi hit the sword with a wave of his hand, turned to look at the army behind him, and loudly ordered: "Guan Yu is leading the army in front, let's wait and see if we can defeat the enemy first and win the first victory!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

When he attacked Gongsun Zan before, Qu Yi had almost no defeats, so Qu Yi had great prestige in the army. When he heard Qu Yi's words, the whole army immediately responded with thunderous killing sounds.

Especially the soldiers under Qu Yi's command who were the first to die, all raised their weapons, their fighting spirit was extremely high, and their shouts were boiling!

Qu Yi nodded with satisfaction, no longer hesitated, pulled the reins of the horse, led the army, and began to march forward in a mighty manner.

Soon after, when he saw the soldiers and horses arrayed in order from afar, Qu Yi finally reined in the reins, stopped the horses, and led the army to a stop.

Qu Yi looked at the Qingzhou army in front, and at a glance he saw Guan Yu, who was standing in front of the army, riding on a horse and carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. His face was like a heavy jujube, his lips were as if they were greased, and his beard was two feet long.

"Are you Guan Yu?"

Qu Yi looked at Guan Yu, raised the long knife in his hand, pointed the blade directly at Guan Yu, and asked.

"Exactly."

Guan Yu held a knife in one hand and stroked his long beard with the other. He looked at Qu Yi and asked, "Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang grew up here. Who are you?"

Qu Yi sneered and asked, "Do you know the name of Liangzhou Qu Yi?"

"That's unheard of."

Although Guan Yu actually knew Qu Yi, when he heard Qu Yi's words, Guan Yu shook his head and asked: "Yuan Shao's army is so short of people? Why would he send such an unknown young man as the vanguard?"

"you!"

Hearing this, Qu Yi suddenly became furious, raised his sword and said angrily: "Guan Yu, I will take your head today and sacrifice your blood to the flag!"

"Bold maniac!"

Hearing this, a cold look appeared in Guan Yufeng's eyes, and he said, "Do you know that Guan's Qinglong Yanyue Sword has chopped off the heads of many people who claimed to take Guan's head?"

"You can only kill Hua Xiong, but can you kill me?"

Qu Yi's voice just fell. The next moment, without saying a word, Guan Yu directly pulled the reins of the horse, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and rode straight towards Qu Yi!

Seeing this, Qu Yi was slightly startled. After he reacted, he became even more angry and shouted: "Seeking death!"

The moment the voice fell, Qu Yi also pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse neighed. The next moment, Qu Yi raised his sword and jumped on the horse, also facing Guan Yu.

The two charged at each other, and the distance between them became closer and closer at an alarming speed.

Soon, there was only the last ten meters left between the two!

When the distance between the two was only five meters away, Guan Yu's phoenix eyes opened angrily, and murderous intent suddenly swept over his body, extremely agitated. He raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand and slashed it down at Qu Yili!

In an instant, the sword pierced the sky, and the dragon roared!

Qu Yi also roared violently at this time, and slashed out with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword with the long sword in his hand. The force of the sword was unparalleled, carrying an unstoppable energy that flooded the surroundings!

Keng!

Suddenly the two sabers intersected, the soldiers clashed, and a deafening roar broke out. Dust flew up and gravel splashed everywhere!

Qu Yi's expression suddenly changed drastically. He felt severe pain in the tiger's mouth. An overwhelming power surged out from Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword and pressed towards him. The sharpness of the blade was almost irresistible!

The next moment, Qu Yi gritted his teeth and swung his sword, trying to swing the Qinglong Yanyue Sword away.

Guan Yu's eyes were cold and he had anticipated Qu Yi's actions. Just when the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was about to be swung away, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword that was pressing on Qu Yi's long sword turned, and the blade of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword immediately pressed against the edge of Qu Yi's long sword!

Then Guan Yu waved his hand, and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword immediately followed Qu Yi's blade and slashed directly at Qu Yi's shoulder. The sword's light instantly turned into a green bolt and swept past!

"What?"

There was a look of disbelief on Qu Yi's face. He couldn't believe that his actions were seen by Guan Yu, so he could only put away the knife immediately and retreat!

Guan Yu followed Bu Rao closely and immediately caught up with Qu Yi. He caught up with Qu Yi in an instant.

Then, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in Guan Yu's hand slashed towards Qu Yi again. The power of this sword was more powerful than the previous one. It was unparalleled and tyrannical, as if it could split mountains and seas!

The Qinglong knife fell, and the sound of piercing the sky exploded!

Feeling the terrifying Qi of this sword, Qu Yi did not dare to take it hard. He originally wanted to dodge, but the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was too fast, and Guan Yu's Qi seemed to have locked him firmly, making it impossible to avoid him. !

Qu Yi could only grit his teeth. When the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was about to hit him, he raised the long sword in his hand and held it in front of his chest to block it!

Keng! !

A louder roar than before exploded instantly, causing severe pain in the eardrum and heartbreak!

An extremely powerful wave of air, like a river toppling the sea, centered on the intersection of the two swords and surged crazily in all directions!

And under this sword, Qu Yi's tiger's mouth opened directly, and the handle of the sword was soaked red with blood. The right hand holding the long sword almost lost consciousness under the unparalleled power of the Qinglong Yanyue sword!

"What kind of monster is this?"

Qu Yi was shocked to the extreme. It was not until he actually fought with Guan Yu that he finally realized why Guan Yu was so famous and what it meant to be mighty and majestic!

He originally thought that the last knife was the result of Guan Yu's full strength. If it was that knife, it would have been extremely terrifying, and he did not dare to fight against it. However, he did not expect that this knife would be even more terrifying than the previous one!

You know, all this happens in the blink of an eye!

In an instant, Guan Yu's two sword blows had already pushed him to this point!

After slashing twice, Guan Yu's momentum and fighting spirit had reached a critical point. Like a raging wave, it broke down the river dam, completely overflowed, and flooded the surrounding area!

"Traitor, please accept your fate!"

Guan Yu roared loudly, his phoenix eyes widened, he raised his sword again and jumped on his horse. He raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword high in his hand, the blade was filled with boundless fighting spirit, and the mighty murderous intention soared into the sky. This sword seemed to be enough to split the world!

"this?"

At this time, Qu Yi's face completely changed, and his eyes were full of shock and horror. He couldn't help but feel a little creepy!

The momentum of Guan Yu's sword was more powerful than the previous two swords combined. When the blade passed by, under the powerful sword intention, it seemed as if the world was about to collapse, and the wind and clouds changed color!

"ah!!!"

Seeing the Qinglong Yanyue Sword coming, he could no longer dodge and could only parry the attack. Qu Yi let out a violent roar from the bottom of his throat, raised the long sword horizontally, and endless divine power surged out of his body, trying to block this shocking sword!

The two swords intersected again, and sparks suddenly shot out!

Keng! ! !

A thunderous sound of fighting swept across the entire venue in an instant. Some of the sergeants who were relatively close had their eardrums exploded by the shock, and blood flowed out!

The next moment, Qu Yi almost flew backwards from the horse. He could only tighten his legs on both sides of the horse, but he and the horse also moved backward five or six meters!

When the horse stopped, Qu Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, and his hands were all cracked!

When all Yuan Jun behind Qu Yi saw this scene, their faces showed deep horror!

Three swords!

With just three sword strikes, Qu Yi, who in their minds was invincible and capable of attacking, was directly cut back. From the beginning to the end, Qu Yi was unable to fight back!

At this time, Guan Yu raised his sword and leaped on his horse for the second time, charging towards Qu Yi, with murderous intent overflowing from his body!

"drive!"

After receiving Guan Yu's three swords, Qu Yi was completely frightened.

Although he felt that Guan Yu was not as fierce as before, Qu Yi did not dare to confront Guan Yu again. When he saw Guan Yu leaping towards him again, he immediately turned his horse's head and began to withdraw towards the army behind him.

Seeing Qu Yi retreating and rushing towards the enemy formation, Zhou Cang immediately shouted: "Soldiers, kill!"

After saying that, Zhou Cang also raised his sword, followed Guan Yu, and rushed towards Yuan Jun.

At this time, the Qingzhou army behind Guan Yu and Zhou Cang finally reacted, and their fighting spirit was extremely high. They shouted loudly and began to charge towards Yuan Jun!

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Seeing that Qu Yi was defeated, the morale of the army was in chaos, but the Qingzhou army was highly motivated. After picking up Qu Yi, Yuan Tan immediately drew his sword and shouted an order.
