"That's impossible, sir. Even if we were paralyzed, we wouldn't be able to succeed. Although I don't know the art of war, I know that to take down a city guarded by 40,000 soldiers, we must have more than 80,000 elite soldiers. Even if Liu Bei has great ability, he wouldn't be able to succeed."
"Aiya, my lord, have you forgotten about Guan Chun? Guan Chun was once a general of our Ji Province and had a high prestige in the army. If Guan Chun sent people to open the city gate and catch us off guard, it would be dangerous."
Han Fu was shocked and furious. She said angrily,""Guan Chun, this traitor, come and take down Guan Chun's entire family, old and young!"
"Sir, Guan Chun had secretly sent people to move his entire family to the plains."
Actually, this was also Meng Yi's doing. Guan Chun still didn't know.
"I have treated him well, but I didn't expect him to bite the hand that feeds him. Send my orders, gather twenty thousand soldiers and fight Liu Bei.”
"Sir, you can't. Although Liu Bei's army is small, they are all elite soldiers. I'm afraid we won't be able to gain an advantage. Once we are in a stalemate with Liu Bei, the Black Mountain bandits will see that our Jizhou is rich and powerful. I'm afraid they will attack us together with Liu Bei."
"Then what about you? Mister, please make a decision." As the governor of Jizhou, Han Fu was so scared that his mind went blank.
Xun Chen thought hard for a long time before he said,"Don't panic, my lord. The only thing we can do now is to get rid of Guan Chun and then defend the city."”
"That Guan Chun's martial arts are extraordinary and he has Liu Bei's help. How can we kill him?”
"That Guan Chun will definitely come to incite the morale of the army. Daren can hide strong bows and crossbows on the city and kill them when they are unprepared.”
"Alright, we'll do as you say." Han Fu said.
Guan Chun led 15,000 elite soldiers and rushed towards Anping Country without stopping. Even the infantry were left far behind. It was obvious that he was anxious. In less than half a day, Anping County was already in sight.
Fortunately, he was one step ahead of the bandits.
Guan Chun rejoiced inwardly.
"Quickly open the city gates." Guan Chun shouted and led his men towards the city gate. In his mind, as long as he shouted, the city gate would immediately be opened. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would guard the sides.
They were about to reach the city gate, but there was still no movement. Guan Chun looked up at the city wall. One of the generals, who was dressed neatly, pointed at Guan Chun and shouted,""Someone, release your arrows and kill Guan Chun, this traitor.”
It was Geng Wu, the chief historian of Jizhou.
For a moment, arrows rained down like locusts towards Guan Chun.
"There's an ambush. Retreat quickly." Guan Yu shouted and quickly led the cavalry to retreat. Even so, dozens of people died on the spot, and hundreds of people were seriously injured.
Guan Chun stood at the city gate like a fool. Zhang Fei waved his 18-foot-long Snake Spear like a windmill, protecting himself and Guan Chun together.
"Hurry up and leave." Zhang Fei waved his Snake Lance to deflect the arrows while pulling Guan Chun's arm.
Why, why did the Provincial Governor treat me like this? Guan Chun couldn't understand. Seeing Guan Chun like this, Zhang Fei threw his spear and smashed it onto Guan Chun's horse. The horse was in pain and ran wildly. Finally, it was out of range. Zhang Fei pulled the horse away.
Guan Yu and Chun finally came to their senses. They hurriedly lifted the reins and stopped the galloping horses.
"General Guan, are you alright?" Guan Yu said anxiously.
"It's fine, it's fine." Guan Chun muttered. His heart was still not calm.
Zhang Fei gathered the cavalry and regrouped into formation.
"No, I want to know." Guan Chun rode his horse forward and shouted at the city gate,""Geng Wu, why are you treating me like this?”
Geng Wu said disdainfully,"Guan Chun, you heartless bastard. The Provincial Governor has treated you well. I didn't expect you to really collude with Liu Bei to plot against Jizhou.""Geng Wu, why do you say that? I came here today to help you defend the city and destroy the bandits together.“
Guan Chun's heart was about to explode from anger. He had come back with good intentions to help others defend the city, but he did not expect them to want his life.
"Guan Chun, you shameless bastard! I didn't think you would be so shameless! The lord has asked you to come back several times, but you've rejected him time and time again. Now, you've brought an army here. Do you think I'm a fool?“
"I want to see the Provincial Governor. My loyalty can be seen by heaven and earth."
On the city wall, the governor of Jizhou, Han Fu, came with a group of civil and military officials.
"Guan Chun, you traitor. I have always treated you well. You colluded with Liu Bei to plot against Jizhou. Today, you came to help Liu Bei seize Jizhou. Do you think I am a fool?“”
"My lord…"
"Shut up. You still want to quibble even now? Do you still have any face?”Han Fu interrupted Guan Chun angrily.
"Han Fu, my brother came to help you, but I didn't expect you to bite the hand that feeds you and harm my subordinates. As a provincial governor, you actually did such a heartless thing.”Guan Yu could not help but shout.
"Second brother, let's kill this guy.”Zhang Fei 'an couldn't help but order the siege.
"Third brother, stop." Liu Bei finally arrived with his infantry. When he saw the dozens of corpses and the cavalry, he frowned and said,""What happened?"
"Big brother, we were kind enough to help him defend the city, but this shameless Han Fu actually harmed us.
"Liu Bei, you came at the right time. My lord has already seen through your scheme.”Xun Chen stood beside Han Fu, looking as if everything was under control.
"Xun Chen, so it was you, a shameless person, who tried to drive a wedge between me and Daren. Daren, you must not be fooled.”
Guan Chun saw Xun Chen's sanctimonious appearance and remembered that Xun Chen had always ostracized him when he was in Jizhou.
"Lord Han, please give Liu Bei an explanation. My brother has been racking his brains for the task of exterminating the bandits, but you secretly killed my brother. Is this what a provincial governor would do?”
Han Fu, who was on the city wall, was extremely depressed.
