  Liu Bei and Guan Yu had a discussion and gave orders for a swift march when suddenly a shout arose from the rear.

  Guan Yu's heart skipped a beat, he turned his horse around and focused his attention on the approaching army, which was led by Jia Ying. Guan Yu let out a cold hum and turned to Liu Bei, saying: "Big brother, let's go meet up with Xun'er first!"

  Jia Ying led the army in a relentless pursuit, with a desperate and stubborn appearance. Suddenly, Liu Bei and many of his generals were thrown into confusion.

  At the sound of Guan Yu's low voice, Liu Bei's mind was made up, and he turned his head to shout: "Advance quickly and join our main force, shake off the enemy"

  "Second brother, let's hurry up and meet with Xuande!" Liu Bei now had the spirit of a hero who had just escaped from the siege of Xinye, and was not disappointing his bold and ambitious words.

  Liu Bei now only wants to reunite with his son Xuan'er and escape, even if the batch of military equipment in Sui Ping is lost, he can't take care of it anymore.

  Although it's a pity, one should also enjoy life while they still have it. What's the point of talking about anything if you're already dead?

  With one stirring speech from Liu Bei and a loud order from Guan Yu, the officers and men plucked up their courage and rushed forward.

  In the rear of Cao's army formation, Jia Yong gazed at Liu Bei's army speeding up again with a gloomy face, his tiger eyes flashing a hint of astonishment. After such a long battle, how could they still have such strength? Rare in this era...

  "Hmph, Liu Bei, Guan Yu" Jia Ying's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke in a low, menacing tone: "I will definitely avenge Ah Qiang's death, no question about it."

  At this time, a deputy general of Cao's army looked at Jia Yong with flashing eyes, hesitating and wanting to speak but stopping.

  Jia Ying saw the hesitant look of the deputy general beside him, Jia Ying rolled his eyes and shouted in a bad temper: "Damn it, does your father look like a tiger or leopard? If you have something to say, say it, otherwise shut up."

  The surrounding Cao army officers and men heard what Jia Xu said, and they all grumbled in their hearts: "You're not a tiger or leopard, but you're ten or a hundred times more cruel than them. Do we dare to speak recklessly without considering the consequences?"

  It seemed as if he recalled the scene where Jia Ying was punished by his father, and his body trembled.

  "Huh?" The deputy general was taken aback by Jia Ying's words, and immediately scolded himself for being nosy. With a smile on his face, he carefully said: "General, the enemy seems to be acting strangely?"

  "Hmph..." Jia Ying furiously shouted: "You're the one who's abnormal!"

  "Haven't you heard of human potential?" Jia Ying muttered to himself, "Damn it, I still have to teach you a lesson."

  "Liu Bei this old chap has just escaped with his life, and now we're leading the army to chase after him, can't he run a bit faster?"

  "But there's also a saying: the greater the hope, the greater the despair... Hehe..." Jia Ying's mouth corner revealed a hint of chill, gazing at the increasingly distant enemy army muttering to himself.

  "What's the point of having great hope and great despair?" The deputy general scratched his head, unable to figure it out. In the end, he shook his head and self-deprecatingly said that if he could think of such a philosophical phrase, he could also be a general.

  Jia Ying gazed out at the dust flying high into the air, gradually blocking the view of his army. Jia Ying furrowed his brow and scanned with a tiger's gaze, only to see that his cavalry had somehow become infantry. Fury erupted in his heart as he bellowed: "You dare to be so bold? I haven't given the order to dismount, yet you're walking on foot?! What audacity!"

  "I'll say it once more, in two quarters of an hour, if you are three hundred paces away from Liu Bei's great army, don't blame me for being ruthless..." Jia Yong's face twisted into a cold and sinister smile.

  "Damn it, if you hadn't marched on foot, would we be in this situation? Now it's all turned upside down..."

  But seeing Jia Xiu's furious appearance, his heart suddenly trembled and he rushed to pursue Liu Bei's army with all his might.

  In an instant, it was like a strong wind sweeping away. Jia Ying looked at the speed of the flying army and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but curse: "This group of little rascals... Does old man have to be so intimidating?"

  Jia Ying rubbed his nose, thinking to himself that although he wasn't "as beautiful as a flower, stunning the nation", he wasn't bad either... This bunch of little rascals must have forgotten again and not cleaned up.

  "Hmph..." Jia Yinghu's eyes gleamed with a fierce light, and he growled a few vicious sentences before striding rapidly towards the pursuing army.

  Liu Xuan narrowed his eyes and gazed at the horizon where a faint dawn was rising.

  Unknowingly, the sky had slowly cracked open that endless darkness, revealing a sliver of pale white.

  Footsteps echoed from behind, Liu Xuan didn't turn around and calmly said: "Uncle Zhou, are you all ready?"

  Zhou Cang looked at Liu Xuan, the back figure under the shining sunlight seemed so lonely yet so "vast", Zhou Cang said in a low voice: "Young master, I've done everything as you told me to."

  "Now we just have to wait for the prey to come to our door, and then tighten the bag...” Liu Xuan heard this and chuckled, as if he remembered something, and said: “Uncle Zhou, is Lu Zhao okay?”

  "Young master, you can rest assured that I, Old Zhou, will take care of things. That Road Zhao is just a good-for-nothing. I only lightly intimidated him a few times and he immediately began to kowtow..." A hint of disdain appeared on Zhou Cang's face.

  "Alright, let's proceed with the plan then......" Liu Xuan revealed a hint of a smile, and immediately muttered to himself: "Jia Wen Ha Ha, I really hope to see what you look like when you're at a disadvantage. Since coming to this world, I haven't had a chance to cross swords with someone as formidable as you yet... I'm looking forward to it..."

  ……

  "Hmm...".

  Liu Bei patted his horse, took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead and gazed into the distance, furrowing his brow. "Second brother, Xuan'er won't be in any trouble, will he? We're almost at the fork in the road, but I haven't seen any sign of him."

  Guan Yu's phoenix eyes also flashed a hint of worry, but at this moment Guan Yu understood that he couldn't show negative emotions. He forced a smile and comforted Liu Bei: "Big brother, don't worry, Xun'er that little brat is cunning and clever, definitely nothing will happen to him..."

  Liu Bei detected the comforting intention in Guan Yu's words, and forced a smile, saying: "Second brother is right, Xun'er has always been a clever ghost, making it impossible for people to guard against him..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Guan Ping's voice came from the front, his tone extremely surprised and fearful: "Big Brother, Father, something's wrong..."

  Liu Bei suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and a bad feeling surged up. Guan Yu furrowed his brow, his expression even more worried, but he shouted: "What's the hurry, what kind of discipline is this..."

  Guan Ping was startled by Guan Yu's shout, took a deep breath, calmed down for a moment, and then said with a slightly trembling tone: "Uncle, father, ahead, ahead there are Cao army ambush troops..."

  "An ambush? How is this possible..."

  "An ambush? Impossible..."

  Two loud cries were heard at the same time, and Liu Bei's voice trembled: "That... that Xuan'er?"

  "Great Uncle, Ah Xuan... Ah Xuan was beheaded by General Lu Zhao under the horse's hoof, and his corpse is now hanging on Mount Fenling. General Zhou Zhou was also pierced through the heart by countless arrows..."

  "No, no, I don't believe it. How could Xun'er be dead?" Liu Bei still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, but Guan Ping ruthlessly cut it off, and for a moment, Liu Bei's heart was in unbearable pain.

  Xu Shu suddenly shouted, Liu Bei's eyes were also completely red, his eyes were cold and terrifying, Guan Ping was stared at by Liu Bei and felt a chill all over his body...

  "Big brother, big brother, calm down, calm down..." Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei's mind was greatly disturbed and understood that the death of Liu Xuan would be a huge blow to him. Who wouldn't be? Big brother is already so old, yet he only has one son who is so clever, now suddenly dead, anyone would lose their composure and go mad.

  "Second brother, let's go ahead and take a look. We must see with our own eyes whether Xuan'er is...". Liu Bei's eyes were dull and lifeless, as if he had aged several years in an instant, his body filled with exhaustion.

  Guan Yu saw the pain in his big brother's eyes and felt a dull ache in his heart. He nodded silently and accompanied his big brother as they rode forward on horseback. He didn't care if there were Cao troops lying in ambush ahead or if there were still Cao troops pursuing from behind...

  Seeing the bodies lying horizontally and vertically at the foot of the ridge, the air seemed to be left with a faint bloody smell. Liu Bei's lips moved, his body trembling inexplicably, looking...

  Guan Yu narrowed his Danfeng eyes, scanning the surroundings with a hint of vigilance in his heart. Although he was deeply grieved by the death of his brother's only son and his beloved nephew, he thought to himself that as long as his brother was still alive, there would always be hope...

  "Ah... treacherous Cao! Liu Bei and you cannot coexist. As long as I live, I will surely make you pay with your life..."

  Liu Bei's heart was filled with sudden anger and regret, and he violently spat out several mouthfuls of blood. His eyes rolled back and he fell off his horse, causing Guan Yu and Guan Ping to be greatly shocked.

  Guan Yu watched as Guan Ping helped his elder brother onto the horse, slightly relieved, his face solemn and stern, he said in a deep voice: "Ping'er, quickly protect your uncle, retreat to Suiping"

  "What? Father, don't mind Xuan Er and Zhou Shu's corpses..." Guan Ping was slightly stunned, and suddenly exclaimed.

  "What time is it now? Don't you see the situation? There are Cao's ambush troops ahead, and Cao's pursuit troops behind. If the two armies join forces, it will be too late to escape then. Hurry up! I'll go cut off their rear..."

  "Capture Liu Bei alive, capture Liu Bei alive..."

  At the moment when Guan Yu made up his mind, hundreds of Cao troops appeared on both ridges, all shouting slogans to capture Liu Bei alive.

  Guan Yu took a close look at the general standing under the big flag on the ridge, and it was indeed Lu Zhao, with whom he had a past grievance. A hint of killing intent flashed across Guan Yu's eyes as he pointed his crescent moon blade at Lu Zhao and said in a cold voice: "Lu Zhao, you killed my nephew Xuan'er and General Zhou Cang. This enmity will not be shared under the same sky. One day, I, Guan Yu, will surely behead you on horseback to comfort the spirits of my nephew and Zhou Cang in heaven."

  Lu Zhao seemed to be startled by Guan Yu's cold words, and for a moment he did not speak. The surrounding Cao army also fell silent. Suddenly, the atmosphere seemed to have cooled down. Lu Zhao was stunned for a moment, then coldly laughed: "Hmph, Guan Yu, can you escape today?"

  He pointed to the rear and said, "There is a large army coming", Guan Yu took a look and immediately understood that it was Cao's army led by Jia Xu, he felt anxious and didn't have time to argue with Lu Zhao, so he turned to Guan Ping and said: "Ping, I'll open the way, you protect your uncle and follow me closely."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Yu urged his horse forward, and the Red Hare neighed loudly. Its body flashed like lightning, and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in its hand swung left and right, like a green dragon flying up into the air. Zhao Zilong's precious sword flashed forward, and he shouted: "Release the arrows..."

  "Hsss... Hsss... Hsss..."

  Hundreds of Cao's army shot arrows at once, and Guan Yu's troops were in a state of chaos.

  Guan Yu saw a dozen or so cold arrows coming like lightning, let out a cold hum, and the crescent moon transformed into a giant green dragon that coiled up and rose to protect Liu Bei, shielding him tightly as they charged out.

  "Hmph..." The group of people rushed out for dozens of steps before Guan Yu let out a stifled groan.

  Guan Ping's eyes narrowed and he saw that Guan Yu had an arrow lodged in his right arm. He anxiously asked, "Father, you're injured?"

  Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "It's nothing, just a minor injury." As he spoke, he pulled out the arrow from his right arm.

  "Huh?" Guan Yu exclaimed in surprise.

  "What's wrong, Father?" Guan Ping asked in surprise.

  "This, this feathered arrow seems..."

  Guan Ping looked carefully and suddenly said: "Father, this arrow seems to have no arrowhead?"

  "Hmm, okay. How did Cao Jun do it? Could it be, could it be..."

  "Xuān ér (ā Xuān)!" Guan Yu and Guan Ping, the father-son duo exclaimed in unison, their eyes filled with dense joy and surprise.

  Good grief, Liu Xuan has fooled everyone.
