If the general goes here, there must be a diploma of Prime Minister? " The duke said, "because I was in a hurry, I didn't ask for it." Xiu said, "since I have no diploma, I will not let you go until I have sent someone to report to the prime minister." Guan Gong said, "when I go to report, I must miss my journey."

Two horses intersect, only one close, steel knife from the place, Kong Xiu corpse horizontal horse. The troops left. Guan Gong said, "don't go, sergeant. I have nothing to do with you. Through the mouth of your troops, you said to Prime Minister Cao that if Kong Xiu wanted to harm me, I would kill him. " All the troops worshipped the horses.

Beheading Han Fu and Meng Tan

The Duke of Guan asked the second lady to drive out of the pass to Luoyang. There was a sergeant who informed Han Fu, the prefect of Luoyang. Han Fu is anxious to gather people to discuss. General Meng Tan said, "if you don't have a diploma as prime minister, it's a private act. If you don't stop it, you will be guilty." Han Fu said: "Guan Gong is brave, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were killed. We can't fight the enemy now. We just need to design a way to capture it. " Meng Tan said: "I have a plan: first stop the antlers at the gate. When he arrives, the young general will lead the soldiers to fight with him, feign defeat and induce him to pursue. The public can shoot at him with a secret arrow. If Guan falls off his horse, he will capture Xu Du and get a heavy reward. " The negotiation stopped, and the bus fight for customs declaration has arrived. Han Fu bent his bow and put in an arrow, led a thousand people and horses, arranged the pass, and asked, "who is coming?"

The flying horse ran to Han Fu, and scattered the troops. Han Fu walked quickly, and Guan Gong took the lead to chop under the horse.

Beheading Bian Xi

Guan Gong cut silk and tied the arrow. He was afraid that people would plot against him on the road. He did not dare to stay for a long time. He threw Sishui to Guan at night. The guard general was born in Bingzhou. His surname was Bian and his name was Xi. He was good at using meteor hammers. He was originally a member of the Huangjin Yudang party, but later he threw himself at Cao Cao to guard the pass. When I heard that Guan Gong was coming, I thought about a plan: more than 200 swordsmen were lying in ambush in the national temple in front of Guan, luring Guan Gong to the temple, making an appointment to strike a light as a sign, hoping to harm each other. Arrangements have been made to meet Guan Gong. When the Duke saw Bian Xi coming to meet him, he dismounted to meet him. Xi said: "the general is famous all over the world, who doesn't respect him! Now I'm going back to Uncle Huang. It's just loyalty! " Guan Gong tells the story of beheading Kong Xiu and Han Fu. Bian Xi said: "the general killed it. When I see the prime minister, I will give my heart to you. " Guan Gong was very happy. He got on his horse, crossed Sishui pass, and dismounted in front of Zhenguo temple. The monks rang their bells to welcome them. It turns out that Zhenguo temple is the incense hall in front of the emperor of the Han and Ming Dynasties. There are more than 30 monks in this temple. There was a monk, but Guan Gong was from the same village. His name was Pujing. Now Pujing knew what he meant and asked Guan Gong, "how many years has the general been away from Pudong?" Guan Gong said, "it will be 20 years." Pujing said, "do you know me?" Gong said, "I have been away from my hometown for many years, and I can't get to know each other." Pujing said, "there is only one river between the poor monk's family and the general's family." Bian Xi saw that Pujing was talking about his hometown. He was afraid of going away. He scolded him and said, "if I want to invite the general to dinner, how can you say so much?" Guan Gong said, "otherwise. When the villagers meet each other, they are so comfortable that they can't talk about the past? " Pujing asked Abbot Guan to wait for tea. Guan Gong said: "two ladies in the car, can first offer tea." Pujing teaches to serve his wife before taking tea, and then asks Guan Gong to enter the abbot. Pujing holds the sword he wears in his hand to see Guan Gong. Guild will, life around with a knife. Bian Xi invited Guan Gong to have a banquet in the Dharma hall. Guan Gong said, "is it good or evil for Bian Jun to ask Guan?" Before Bian Xi could reply, Guan Gong saw the swordsman in the wall clothes, so he drank heavily. Bian Xi said, "I regard you as a good man. How dare you do that?" Bian Xi, the magistrate, let go and yelled, "right and left!" The left and right sides wanted to fight, but they were all cut by Guan Gong. Bian Xi went down the hall and walked around the corridor. Guan Gong abandoned his sword and held a big knife to drive him. Bian Xi secretly took a flying hammer to hit Guan Gong. Guan Gong uses a knife to separate the hammer and drives the general in. A knife splits Bian Xi into two sections.

Kill Wang Zhi

When Guan Gong arrived, Wang Zhi went out and welcomed him with a smile. Guan Gong tells about finding his brother. Zhi said, "the general is driving on the road, and his wife is tired in the car. Please enter the city. Take a rest in the post house for a night. It's not too late to get on the way." Seeing that Wang Zhi was very attentive, Guan Gong invited his second sister-in-law into the city. It's all laid out in the Posthouse. Wang Zhi invited him to the banquet, but he did not go. Because of his hard work on the road, Guan Gong invited his second sister-in-law to take a rest in the main room after dinner, and ordered the followers to rest and feed their horses. Guan Gong also took a rest. But Wang Zhimi called Hu ban and said, "Guan fled behind the prime minister, killed the prefect on the road and guarded the general's school. The death penalty is not light! This man is more than brave. Later today, you will surround the post with a thousand troops, each with a torch, and set it on fire together in the third shift. No matter who it is, it will burn to death! I have also led the army to take over. " Hu ban ordered him to light up the sergeant and move the firewood to the front of the post house. He asked for an appointment. Hu ban thought: "I've heard about Guan Yunchang for a long time. I don't know what he looks like. I'll try to see him." Even in the post, he asked the post officials, "where is general Guan?" The answer is: "the audience in the main hall is also." Hu ban went to the hall and saw Guan Gong with a beard on his left hand. He was reading with a few books under the lamp. Class saw, lost his voice and sighed: "true heaven and man also!" When the Duke asked who he was, Hu ban came to worship and said, "the subordinates of Xingyang Prefecture are engaged in Hu ban." Guan Gong said, "is it the son of Hu Hua outside Xudu city?"

Today, a certain person went to open the gate of the city first, and the general was in a hurry to clean up and get out of the city. " Guan Gong was very surprised, so he put on his horse with a knife. He asked his second sister-in-law to get on the bus and go out of the post as far as possible. But he saw that the soldiers were waiting with torches. Guan Gong rushed to the edge of the city and saw that the gate had been opened. Guan Gong rushed out of the city. Hu ban went to set fire. Guan Gong line less than a few miles, behind the torch shining, people came. At that time, Wang Zhi yelled: "Guan, stop going!" Guan Gong reined in his horse and scolded: "pitiful! I have no enmity with you. How can I be set on fire? " Wang Zhi pats his horse and shoots his gun. He runs to Guan Gong, who cuts him in two sections. All the men and horses were scattered. Guan Gong urged the car to go at a high speed, and he felt the Hu ban on the road.
