Chapter 628 How Can a Son Abandon His Father's Safety?

When the sharp dagger was pulled out from Ma Jun's riddled chest, Guan Xing's expression did not waver at all.

The indifference is penetrating, the calmness is terrifying, and there is no mercy!

It was like, what he killed was not a person, but a pig, a chicken, or a sheep.

Accompanied by the words "I will never allow it", Ma Jun's body was riddled with holes, and countless blood... flowed out fiercely, forming a small pool of blood around him.

The blood is still flowing outward...

But he showed no signs of struggling!

"call…"

"call…"

Looking at the corpse, Guan Xing began to breathe slightly, and there were a few more complicated emotions in his eyes.

Relieved…

It’s an absolute relief!

In the past, on the battlefield of Xiangfan... his careless actions sinfully caused tens of thousands of Guan Family Army soldiers to die in vain on the battlefield. The scene where his father wanted to behead him at the camp reappeared before his eyes.

That page... will not be forgotten by Guan Xing!

But undoubtedly, because of Ma Jun's death, this self-blame has been diluted a lot.

He killed so many comrades, but because of Ma Jun's death, more comrades will be lucky enough to survive in this troubled world!

Do the merits outweigh the faults?

At this moment, he felt an unprecedented relief. The burden that had been weighing on his heart for a long time seemed to be relieved by half at once.

All the hatred, anger and sadness that had existed were scattered as the dagger pierced Ma Jun's chest.

He felt as if he had broken free from the abyss and breathed the "relieving" air again.

"call…"

"call…"

Guan Xing greedily sucked a few more mouthfuls.

After doing this, he looked up at the sky and saw the thin shadow of the moon... falling through the clouds. This was already the second day after the Luoyang turmoil.

The thin moon shadow shone on his face, warm and bright.

As if he was enjoying it, he took a deep breath and then let it out slowly.

This is the breath of victory, and this is the breath of relief.

But...that's all.

After just a moment of relief, Guan Xing's eyes became sharp again.

The war is not over yet——

He killed Ma Jun to offset his sin, but... it was still not enough to help his father, his fourth brother, and his uncle to unify the chaotic mountains and rivers shrouded in the Wei Dynasty!

He had to do more. In the past, it was to atone for his sins, but next... he had to make contributions, and use this method in the dark and behind his back to achieve his fame!

This road is destined to be difficult...

but? So what!

Guan Xing now enjoys this feeling of being in the dark very much.

"Whoosh——"

With the sound of a dagger being sheathed, Guan Xing pursed his lips slightly, and then exhaled heavily, he muttered in his mouth: "Ni Wei! Who will die next?"

Yes, yes...

With the neighing of the horse, Guan Xing got on his horse. He was still wearing the armor of a Wei soldier, but he shouted loudly outside the chaotic Luoyang City: "It's not good, the prince-in-law has been killed. Eight pieces, died in a miserable state, right at the rocky hill at the foot of Beimang Mountain——"

"It's not good. The prince-in-law was killed. He was cut into eight pieces and died in a miserable state. He was at the rocky hill in Beimang Mountain——"

Not just killing people...

More importantly - heart-breaking!

He learned this move from his fourth brother Guan Lin!

…

…

The night was dark, but Beimang Mountain was filled with flames. The huge flames burned for a day and a night, and they seemed to have no intention of stopping.

The shouts of killing at the foot of the mountain became louder and louder, one after another.

After more than an hour of fighting, now... Xiahou Dun's troops are getting fewer and fewer, and more and more of his comrades are lying on the ground.

and…

For Zang Ba and his Taishan Army, this raid has entered the final stage. In less than half an hour, Xiahou Dun and his last personal guards will be completely defeated!

--"Da da da!"

At this moment...suddenly, countless inexplicable hoofbeats resounded under Beimang Mountain. The sound...came from the official road of Luoyang City.

Because each of these knights was holding a torch, their arrival was like a flash of lightning in the darkness, instantly lighting up the entire official road leading to Beimang Mountain.

"Report... General Zang! He's from the school affairs office, and Ni Wei's support has arrived."

Following the report from a detective, the chilling look on Zang Ba's face did not weaken at all, and even...

"hehe…"

Zang Ba smiled and said while laughing: "School Affairs Office? Is it the school affairs office run by the madman Li Miao? How...a madman? Thinking that the Six Arts of a Gentleman means killing enemies on the battlefield? Hahahaha...a joke! A joke. !”

At this point, Zang Ba burst out laughing, his laughter full of disdain for Li Miao and the school affairs office.

At the end, he snorted disdainfully, "They are just some of Cao Ah'an's minions. How much capability can they have? They came just in time... Our Taishan military power was taken away together. It was just in time that I, the general, felt that Xiahou Dun's head was of great importance as a certificate of surrender." not enough!"

Following Zang Ba's words... the bodyguard beside him handed over his hand.

"promise…"

Then he directly ordered, "The men from the Third and Fourth Schools will follow me to stop the school affairs office, and the rest of the soldiers will continue to surround and kill the old thief Xiahou——"

It's hard to imagine that... the Taishan Army, such an army that came out of the mountains, quickly changed its formation after Zang Ba gave the order, raising its spears and forming formations, each performing its duties.

It seems that this is a well-disciplined army——

As for Zang Ba, it is true... he despises Li Miao and the school affairs office!

But in fact, he has the capital.

Isn't the real battlefield comparable to those of the school captains and captains who play house in the imperial city?

The combat effectiveness of both sides is not at the same level!

Who would have thought…

At this time, another scout hurriedly came to report.

"General Zang, what's wrong, Xu Huang and Li Dian's soldiers and horses were discovered ten miles away. They met up with a legion with the word 'Xiahou' written on the banner, and are rushing towards us for reinforcements..."

Um...this...

Zang Ba knew that the legion with the word Xiahou was probably Xiahou Zizang, the son of Xiahou Dun.

In fact... before Zang Ba decided to raid Xiahou Dun, it was because he discovered that Xiahou Zizang's men had taken the lead and rushed to Luoyang's aid.

But now...

This guy is back!

Not only was he back, but he also joined forces with Xu Huang and Li Dian's troops...

this…

For a moment, Zang Ba couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He had to think carefully to weigh the gains and losses.

war? Or withdraw troops?

If you fight, you may lose!

But if we withdraw our troops, then this wave will be a sure profit!

Such thoughts did not last long in Zang Ba's mind...

His clenched, heavy fists showed no signs of loosening from beginning to end.

And after observing the situation of the siege of Xiahou Dun over there.

Zang Ba made a prompt decision, "Send the order, all the soldiers and horses of the Third School and the Fourth School who previously blocked the school affairs office should be withdrawn, and concentrate all their efforts on encircling Xiahou Dun. We must cut off the head of this general who rebelled against the Wei Dynasty before the enemy's reinforcements arrive!"

"My sons, cheer up, this is about whether we will be looked upon favorably by the Han army after we vote for Uncle Liu Huang! My sons, even if we vote for the Han army, it will be a team that can rival the Guan family's army! Ah... all cheer up!"

At this point, with a "swish" sound, Zang Ba pulled out his saber.

This made the guards around him nervous.

"General...you..."

"Time is running out, I, the general, will take the lead in killing this Xiahou traitor!"

Speaking of this, Zang Ba stepped forward and wanted to take the lead and lead his personal guards to join in the encirclement and suppression of Xiahou Dun.

Having said that, he has always been a tough guy.

If he came here for a sneak attack, firstly, he did not kill Ma Jun with his own hands, and if Xiahou Dun was allowed to escape, even if others did not poke Zang Ba's spine, he would look down on himself and feel ashamed!

What's more... Xiahou Dun has been injured, and there are only a hundred personal guards around him. It can be said that he is at the end of his strength and will collapse at the first touch!

Even if we take a step back, what is Luoyang City now? Is it him Xu Huang? Li Dian? Does it have the final say?

——Guan Yu has the final say in Luoyang City now! It is the Han army that has the final say!

Thoughts on this…

Zang Ba shouted... "You will attack from the left, and I will attack from the right personally -"

But right after this sound.

"General...general..."

This time it was not a scout reporting, but a personal guard. He immediately knelt down on one knee...kneeling in front of Zang Ba to block him from moving forward.

Zang Ba was anxious, "What happened again? Is it possible? Then there are new reinforcements from Wei Wei?"

Having said this, he waved his hand angrily, "My general gave a fatal order. No matter how many reinforcements Ni Wei has, if we don't behead Xiahou Dun today, we will never take a step back -"

Zang Ba's voice was raised and his momentum was like a rainbow. ,

But the guard hurriedly said: "Yes...Miss Lingju sent someone here, saying...that there is something urgent that needs to be informed to the general!"

"Is there anything more important than killing this general who rebelled against Wei?" Zang Ba frowned, as if he was about to step past the soldier who was kneeling on one knee, and he would not pay attention to the person sent by Lingju.

The guard was unwilling to give up. He quickly got up and chased Zang Ba while saying: "General, this man said that what Miss Lingju asked him to tell the general on his behalf... is related to Xiahou Dun's life and death. !”

this…

The guard's words successfully stopped Zang Ba in his tracks and aroused his interest.

"Where are the people?"

As he asked.

"I'm here...Miss Wen said..." Immediately, a dead soldier in white quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee and reported to Zang Ba...

And what he told made Zang Ba's pupils suddenly widen...

It's the kind that's incredible because of its size - it's round and huge!

…

Here, Zang Ba was still shocked because he heard a "magical" story.

Over there, Li Miao and Qianyu Knights from the School Office also rushed to the vicinity of the battlefield.

Because of the fire on the top of Beimang Mountain, even at the foot of the mountain, you can feel the heat of the mountain wind...

And even more indifferent than this scorching heat are the corpses everywhere...

There are... corpses everywhere!

There were craftsmen who escaped from Beimang Mountain and escaped the fire, but collapsed at the foot of the mountain exhausted...

Some are the corpses of soldiers left behind during the battle between Han and Wei.

And these corpses were roasted by the scorching heat here, and they still had the rancid smell of roasted human flesh... It was disgusting!

"vomit--"

This was the first time Li Miao had seen such a tragic scene, and the first time he had smelled such a smell. He felt a little nauseous and couldn't help but cover his lower abdomen...trying hard not to retching.

At this time... the captain of the school affairs office had come to report.

"Mr. Li, the battle situation ahead is not good... General Xiahou only has a hundred men left, and the enemy... The enemy is so powerful that they have surrounded General Xiahou's troops. I'm afraid there are thousands of them... We... We..."

The captain choked up halfway through his words.

It seemed that he didn't dare to say the next words.

But Li Miao knew the meaning very well.

They only had a thousand men in the school office, and they were not experienced in the battlefield. If they went to rescue Xiahou Dun... it would be like hitting a rock with an egg -

But... Li Miao didn't think so.

He could probably calculate the positions of Xu Huang, Li Dian, and Xiahou Zizang...

At this time, it was time for him, Li Miao, to show his acting skills and "loyalty".

Speaking of which, since he came to the Central Plains, Xuchang, and Luoyang, he has been showing off his acting skills all the time. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Now Li Miao's acting skills are perfect, and he can control every detail accurately!

Sure enough...

After listening to the report of the captain, Li Miao drew out his sword angrily with a "whoosh". "You are from the School Affairs Office? The School Affairs Office is the confidant of the king and the heart of Wei. Now the general of Wei is in danger? Why... our School Affairs Office will just stand by and watch? Humph... Is this still the School Affairs Office of Wei? When did the School Affairs Office only have rats?"

While speaking, Li Miao drew out his sword with a "swish". The sword flashed and a stream of blood flew up and splashed on his body.

"First... Li, the head of the school——"

The captain beside him no longer dared to use the honorific title of Mr. Li, but called him the dignified title of the deputy head of the school affairs office.

"The school officials are loyal to the Wei Dynasty, even if they risk their lives!"

At this point, Li Miao pointed his sword forward, "Everyone, follow me to save the general. Even if there are tens of thousands of people, we will go--"

Accompanied by this, the "clack clack" of horse hooves resounded again...

Not only were the thousands of school lieutenants infected by Li Miao's heroic spirit, they all drew their swords and rushed towards the dense Taishan army.

…

"Heh..."

When Li Miao ordered to rush to save people, Zang Ba had heard the story.

This includes Li Miao's true identity;

This includes the relationship between Li Miao and Xiahou Dun;

This naturally also includes the role of Li Miao... It has always been a crucial link in Guan Lin's entire plot, a crucial chess piece!

"What does my niece mean? Xiahou Dun can't be killed, and Li Miao can't be killed either. We have to make wedding clothes for Li Miao and let him rescue Xiahou Dun. Is that right!"

As Zang Ba asked.

The white-clothed warrior nodded heavily. He was Ling Ju's confidant, so he naturally knew the importance of this matter.

On the contrary, Zang Ba...

Huh...

He exhaled deeply, and it seemed that he went over the whole thing in his mind again while exhaling.

At the end.

"Haha..." He laughed, and his laugh was quite emotional and relieved.

He laughed and said, "I understand. I originally thought that with the end of the battle in Luoyang, the chess game of the Guan family kid was also over. But after hearing what you said, I think this matter... has just begun!"

Uh...

Zang Ba's words made the white-clothed warrior not know what to say for a while.

At this time...

A personal guard quickly reported, "General Zang... a team of cavalry is coming..."

As the personal guard said, Zang Ba looked in the direction of his voice, and sure enough... a cavalry of a thousand people was galloping towards this side, killing towards Xiahou Dun who was at the end of his strength.

"General..." the guard continued to ask: "Should we use the spear formation to make this cavalry of 1,000 people have no way back?"

The Taishan army is all infantry, and the best way for infantry to deal with cavalry is to form a spear formation...

Once there is a spear formation several times larger than the enemy cavalry, the cavalry's charge is often... like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth!

But... in the extremely urgent and expectant eyes of the guard, Zang Ba waved his hand, "Don't form a formation, let the soldiers retreat a little, let this cavalry rush in..."

Ah...

With astonishment, the guard asked: "General, are you going to lure the enemy deep into the country? Encircle them together?"

"Encircle your grandmother's legs——" Zang Ba cursed directly...

Now, the guards dared not ask any more questions, the general said to do it... they would do it!

...

The corruption on the battlefield... is still continuing!

Looking down from the sky, a lone cavalry team rushed into the Taishan army like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, like a tiger entering a pack of wolves. They rushed into the Taishan army, and wherever they passed... they miraculously forced back the layers of defense of the Taishan army.

"Go in--"

"Save the general--"

The shouts broke through the clouds, shaking the earth...

For a moment, they were like a dark cloud pressing down on the top of the head, whistling in like a tide, just like... piercing straight into the heart of this Taishan army.

This also made these school lieutenants of the school affairs office very imposing. Sure enough... on the battlefield, cavalry restrains infantry!

This kind of restraint, combined with the generosity and courage of Li Zhanshi, is enough... enough to create a miracle.

A moment later...

Li Miao and the thousand-plus lieutenants had already killed to Xiahou Dun's side.

"General, it's me... it's me, Li Miao, I... I'm here to save you!"

Seeing Xiahou Dun, Li Miao was like meeting his father in a foreign land. He immediately got off his horse, introduced himself, and helped Xiahou Dun onto the horse.

You must know that on the battlefield, horses are life!

If someone gives his horse to someone else, it is tantamount to giving his life to someone else.

As if...

Xiahou Dun recognized the voice of the person coming and realized that it was Li Miao who came to save him.

But Li Miao just grabbed Xiahou Dun and wanted to help him onto the horse, but saw Xiahou Dun's injured arm suddenly exerted force and shook him off...

"Han Nan, you are confused..."

"This Taishan soldier, this thief Zang Ba is well versed in the art of war. He...he trapped me here before to lure you to save me, and then...then catch you all in one fell swoop. Now...now you are here too! This...this...oh...oh...Han Nan, you...you are confused!"

Xiahou Dun's voice was filled with grief and regret.

He is almost sixty years old this year, and his eyes have been dedicated to the Wei Dynasty. He is a useless person, and his death is not a pity.

But...but Li Miao, this is his savior, and he is also a talented person whom he trusts and loves like a son!

How could he bear...Li Miao to die with him here.

Sure enough...

Following Xiahou Dun's voice.

The Taishan army, which had been scattered, quickly gathered and surrounded everyone including Li Miao and more than a thousand lieutenants, and then moved forward with well-trained shield formations, constantly testing and shrinking their space.

The sound of the shields and the clanging footsteps made Xiahou Dun's face even uglier...

It seems...

It seems that he was unfortunately right -

There is no going back!

There is no going back -

"Alas, Hannan, you are confused...you are confused..." Xiahou Dun's voice added a bit of sadness.

Who would have thought...

Li Miao grabbed Xiahou Dun's hands with both hands, then used both hands to force, and shouted to Xiahou Dun with a firm tone: "I have been frivolous all my life, and the heroes in the world are like ants in my eyes. But because of my frivolity, I was deserted by my friends and relatives, and I was like a rat crossing the street in Shu..."

"But, since I came to Wei, the general has treated me like his own son... I also regard the general as my own father!"

"Is there any son in this world who can abandon his father's safety?"

...
