Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 434 Guan Sheng: Change the Batch! [1st Update]

Huguan.

"Open the door!"

When Cai Fu and his men arrived at Huguan, it was already noon. Shan Shiqi looked up and shouted towards the pass:

"I am the military supervisor!"

The face of a great general appeared on the door; Shan Shiqi recognized him as Yun Zongwu.

Yun Zongwu looked down and exclaimed, "The Commander is back?"

"Commander, have you captured Gaizhou?"

"Don't mention it!"

Shan Shiqi looked annoyed and muttered under his breath:

"'Dryland Crocodile' Zhu Gui is a big liar!"
"Luckily, I saw through their trap in time, otherwise I wouldn't have made it back!"

Yun Zongwu slammed his hand angrily on the edge of the battlement:
"I could tell at a glance that he wasn't a good person..."

"Alright! I'll explain everything in detail after we get through customs!"

Shan Shiqi interrupted him: "Open the door quickly!"

"Yes, Your subordinate will have them open the gate immediately!"

Yun Zongwu gave the order, and the gate was opened immediately after it was closed.

"Be careful of fraud!"

Wearing a Jin army uniform, Cai Fu hid behind Shan Shiqi and said in a low voice:
Something's wrong with him!

"I suspect they've figured it out, or maybe the news leaked out. We need to be ready for battle at any time!"

Shan Shiqi, Yue Fei, and Yang Zaixing, who were around Cai Fu, spread Cai Fu's orders to the people around them.

The message spread quickly, and soon all two hundred-plus cavalrymen were in a state of outward relaxation but inward tension.

Shan Shiqi led the way into the pass, while Cai Fu and his men mingled among the cavalry, trying to minimize their presence.

After entering the pass, Cai Fu sensed something was wrong; the soldiers inside were looking at them strangely.

Suddenly, a deafening gong sounded from the gate:

"Boom-boom--"

"Shuashuashua——"

Immediately, arrows rained down on Cai Fu and his men!

Despite Cai Fu's warning, the surrendered soldiers still fell in droves under the hail of arrows...

Fortunately, Shan Shiqi and Cai Fu were prepared and skilled in martial arts, so they were not hit by arrows.

But after a volley of arrows, the Jin army that had been lying in ambush on both sides of the road suddenly charged out!
Did they really see through it?

Cai Fu felt this was very unscientific; how could such a small place as Huguan have such a powerful and talented individual?
"kill--"

A familiar voice rang out, startling Cai Fu, who was in the middle of the fight. He turned around and saw a burly man with a yellow face. He immediately shouted:
"Da Xiong—"

The sallow-faced burly man was startled by the shout. He looked over and saw Cai Fu, and couldn't help but gasp.
"Uncle—"

Cai Fu saw that he had understood everything and shouted loudly:

"Stop it, everyone—we're on the same side—"

The sallow-faced burly man also shouted loudly:

"Stop it, all of you—stop it—don't fight anymore—"

They all have loud voices, and their shouts can be heard clearly throughout the entire street.

Thus, the battle was abruptly halted just as it began.

Even those who were blinded by rage quickly regained their senses with the enthusiastic help of the killing stars Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing, He Yuanqing, Zheng Huai, and Zhang Kui.

A sallow-faced man and a ruddy-faced man ran over together, both sweating profusely and smiling apologetically at Cai Fu.

"Uncle, it's you!"

Cai Fu smiled and asked, "I'd like to know too, why is it you guys?"

It turned out that the sallow-faced giant was Yang Xiong, known as "Sick Guan Suo," and the red-faced giant was Zhu Tong, known as "Beautiful Beard."

Zhu Tong's face turned bright red:

"Uncle, we received a report from our scouts last night that Shan Shiqi has come out of the pass!"
"My father thought this was a golden opportunity, so he tricked the gate into opening and took over Huguan!"

"Shi Ding, Wu Cheng, and Wu Su died in battle, while Zhong Liang, Yun Zongwu, and Zhu Jing surrendered. Only Lu Hui escaped!"
"Of the 30,000 troops defending Huguan, more than 3,000 were killed or wounded, more than 5,000 fled, and more than 20,000 surrendered!"
"My godfather left my second brother and me to guard the pass, while he, Uncle Tang, and Uncle Hao went to retrieve Zhaode Prefecture overnight!" Yang Xiong's face turned ashen.

"Uncle, we really thought Shan Shiqi had returned, so we wanted to give him a head-on blow!"
"I never expected it to be my uncle..."

"here you go!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Fu placed his hands on Zhu Tong and Yang Xiong's shoulders with satisfaction.
I thought Guan Sheng was just AFK here, but it turns out he was conserving his energy and waiting for the right opportunity.

It must be said that last night was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Guan Sheng did not disappoint himself.

Everyone was happy except for Shan Shiqi, who was sullen and had hoped for a great start.

Once he joined Cai Fu's forces, he captured Huguan and Zhaode Prefecture in succession. Who would dare to underestimate him?
As a result, Guan Sheng stole the opening victory...

"Dashan, let's continue to Zhaode Prefecture!"

Cai Fu was still not entirely at ease:

"To avoid any unforeseen complications, let's go and support my fourth brother!"

Your fourth brother?
Shan Shiqi was completely bewildered. Later, after asking around, he learned that Guan Sheng was Cai Fu's sworn brother.

It's important to know that Huguan is located between Tianchi Ridge and Baodu Mountain.

Cai Fu's men were already beside his bed, and he was still lying there saying goodnight, Makka Pakka...

……

Zhaode Prefecture.

"kill--"

Guan Sheng brandished his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, charging left and right, hacking and slashing wildly, but still couldn't carve a bloody path through them...

There are too many enemy troops!
While Cai Fu was thriving in Shandong, Guan Sheng was not idle either, and his band of followers in Baoduzhai had grown to 20,000 men.

However, due to the large number of surrendered soldiers at Huguan, Guan Sheng left 10,000 underlings to guard Huguan and only took 10,000 underlings to launch a surprise attack on Zhaode Prefecture.

He hurried along the way, but still couldn't catch up with Lu Hui, who then delivered the news to Zhaode Prefecture.

As a result, when Guan Sheng and his men arrived at Zhaode Prefecture, they fell into an ambush set by Sun Qi, Ye Sheng, Jin Ding, and other generals who were stationed there!

Zhaode Prefecture had 30,000 elite soldiers who surrounded Guan Sheng and gave him a sound beating!
Guan Sheng, Tang Bin, Hao Siwen and the others had already traveled all night. How could their exhausted army possibly defeat the well-rested Jin army?

This is a fierce battle, and even if Guan Sheng and Tang Bin are as brave as ten thousand men, it will be in vain...

"Brother, it's all my fault for underestimating the heroes of the world!"

While fighting, Guan Sheng smiled wryly at Tang Bin:
"If I had simply taken Huguan and stopped there, instead of eagerly seizing Zhaode Prefecture, things would have come to this..."

"Brother, don't say discouraging things!"

Tang Bin, the "Warrior Who Pulls Mountains," cleaved a Jin soldier in two at the waist with a single axe stroke.
"We will break through the encirclement, return to Huguan, and make a steady comeback in the future!"

"Brothers!"

Guan Sheng wasn't actually saying anything discouraging; he was just feeling guilty for dragging his two good brothers into the trap with him.

Tang Bin's words warmed his heart.
Guan Sheng's spirits lifted, and he shouted:
"Guan Sheng, the 'Great Saber,' is here! Anyone who stands in my way shall die!"

"Really? I don't believe it!"

A general charged out from Guan Sheng's left, laughing heartily:

"You nameless rat, do you even know who I am, General Cai Ze?"

Another general charged out from Guan Sheng's right, speaking in a deep, booming voice:

"General Weng Kui, I've come to arrest you!"

One of the generals charged out from in front of Guan Sheng and sneered:
"General Huang Yue, come and take your dog's head!"

Another general emerged from behind Guan Sheng, grinning as he said:

"Who is Guan Sheng? I've never heard of him!"

Cai Ze, Weng Kui, Huang Yue, and Yang Chun from the rear—these four generals, though all spouting nonsense and seemingly disregarding Guan Sheng, simultaneously attacked him from four directions: front, back, left, and right!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

In an instant, four heads rolled to the ground!
Guan Sheng, without batting an eye, held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade upside down in one hand, squinted his phoenix eyes, and stroked his long beard:

"Change the batch!"

"hiss--"

Sun Qi and Ye Sheng, the garrison commanders of Zhaode Prefecture, couldn't help but gasp in shock.
General Guan is truly a celestial being!
