.Fifty miles north of Wuzhong City, Gaoshan.

Yesterday afternoon, Xiang Guan's three thousand personal troops had already set up a camp on the southern foot of Gaoshan. However, what made Xiang Guan very angry was that there was no news about Xiang until now.

"Where is Xiang?" Xiang Guan was paced back and forth in the big tent, roaring angrily as he paced, "Let this general run far away to Gaoshan. He has not come by himself. What exactly does he want to do? Yu?!"

Lu Yuan, who was standing beside him, also smiled bitterly, and he couldn't guess why he hadn't arrived for a long time.

If Xiang had any unfavorable intentions against Xiang Guan, Lu Yuan would not believe that although Xiang had supported more than a dozen old Chu clans in Wuzhong, these old Chu clans are no longer the same as before. Although their influence is still there, their own strength is quite limited. It would be great if these dozen old clans could gather thousands of soldiers.

How could these less than a thousand family soldiers threaten Xiang Guan’s safety?

The only one that could threaten Xiang Guan's safety was Xiang Tuo's army, and Xiangzhuang in Jiangbei. However, Xiang Tuo's army has been stationed in Daying in the west of the city, while Xiangzhuang's army is stationed in Jiangbei. Lu Yuan also sent a large number of fine works, secret spies closely monitor the movements of these two armies. If there is any disturbance, news will come immediately.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Yuan agreed to Xiang Guan come to Gaoshan to meet Xiang Da closely, because no matter what Xiang Da intends, at least Xiang Guan’s safety is guaranteed.

When Xiang Guan was very angry, his personal soldiers suddenly came into the tent and reported, "General, a large number of unidentified hunters suddenly appeared in the depths of the dense forest."

"Aren't it just a few hunters?" Xiang Guan roared, "What's there to make a fuss about?"

"Well, a hunter who has no identity?!" Lu Yuan instinctively felt a little bad. Although it was early spring and it was also a good time to hunt, there were always beasts in the depths of Gaoshan Mountain. Ordinary hunters dare not go deeper. Moreover, a large number of hunters appeared in groups, and the situation became more and more suspicious. Lu Yuan asked again, "How many people are there?"

"I don't know very well." The personal soldier shook his head, "There are dozens of teams of hunters that have appeared, and there are at least nearly a thousand people in total. Moreover, it seems that there are more hunters in the depths of the forest.

"Nearly a thousand people?" Xiang Guan said in surprise, "Where are so many hunters coming from near Gaoshan?"

"Not good!" Lu Yuan was even more shocked and said in a lost voice, "General, leave this place quickly..."

"Wuwuwu..." As soon as he finished speaking, a faint sound of horn suddenly came in from outside the tent, and it sounded like it was coming from the deep mountains. Lu Yuan's face suddenly changed and he said tragically: "It's bad, there are ambushes in the mountains!"

"Ambushe?" Xiang Guan curled his lips and said sneeringly, "As long as it is not Xiang Tuo, Xiang Zhuang's army, just a few thousand ambush soldiers, why is this general afraid of?" After saying this, Xiang Guan turned his head and shouted, "Lu An, Lu Ding!"

Two generals and schoolmen in heavy armor came in straight and said loudly: "What are the general's instructions?"

"I'll order the entire army to assemble immediately!" Xiang Guan waved his hand and said with a grim voice, "If these villagers don't come, they'll kill them all for me if they dare."

"Here!" The two generals and officers agreed and took the order.

Xiang Guan said to Lu Yuan again: "I want to see, what exactly does Xiang want to do?"

After saying that, Xiang Guan pressed his sword straight out of the big tent. Lu Yuan frowned and followed him out of the big tent.

When Lu Yuan climbed the watchtower near the gate, at least two thousand people had gathered in the open space around the camp. In the deep mountains and forests farther away, more figures were appearing. Most of these people were wearing thin geese clothes, looking like poor hunters near Gaoshan, but Lu Yuan saw something unusual.

First of all, these hunters are not fucking hunting forks, but slanting halberds!

Secondly, these hunters have no prey on their shoulders and their hands are empty, which is very abnormal. So many hunters go hunting in the mountains, so they should have hunted one or two large preys, how could they all go back empty-handed?

Finally, and most importantly, after seeing Xiangguan camp, these hunters did not take a detour, but flocked to them from all directions. What does this mean? This shows that they are not poor hunters near Gaoshan. These people are simply coming for Xiangguan. Xiangguan is their real goal of hunting!

"General, please abandon the camp and break through." Lu Yuan said, "Or it would be too late.

"No, why break through? Since Xiang's son wants to send these mobs to die, what can he do if he fails to do so? Just kill them all here!" After Xiang Guan said that, a disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Just because these thousands of hunters wanted to ambush his three thousand personal troops? It was a joke!

Lu Yuan said anxiously: "General, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, think twice!"

"What do you think twice? What's the point of thinking twice?" Xiang Guan said coldly, "I won't go anywhere, I'm just waiting for Xiang's son here. I want to see what tricks can Xiang's son play? This ignorant dog is wasting my kindness, hum!"

However, as time went by, Xiang Guan's face gradually became solemn.

About half an hour later, when it was noon, the hunters flocked out of the deep mountains and dense forests had reached five or six thousand, and completely blocked Xiang Guan's personal army's way out. At this moment, Xiang Guan knew that he had fallen into Xiang's plan, but Xiang Guan was also a little confused. Where did Xiang he bring so many troops?

Could it be that Xiang had already joined forces with Xiang Tuo in secret, and these nearly 10,000 people were borrowed from Xiang Tuo?

Thinking of this, Xiang Guan suddenly turned around, stared at Lu Yuan with some anger, and shouted: "Lu Yuan, didn't you say that the Xiang Tuo army has always been stationed in the west camp of the city and has not been moved?"

"Yes." Lu Yuan said without hesitation, "Xiang Tuo army has not changed any abnormally yet."

"Then where did these five or six thousand men come out?" Xiang Guan roared, "Is it the old guys such as Sun Guan, Qu Yi, and Wu Qi gathered together overnight?"

"This..." Lu Yuan was speechless.

Xiang Guan groaned, turned his head and shouted, "Lu An, Lu Ding, open the gate and launch an attack!"

Although Xiang Guan is a silly politically, he is still a little smart in military affairs. He knows that the situation will only become more and more serious if he waits here, because the other party has gathered more than 5,000 people, and people are constantly rushing out of the deep mountains and dense forests. God knows how many people Xiang's son ambushed deep in Gaoshan?

If you wait here, you will be dead. Xiang Guan is not stupid.

"Here!" Lu An, Lu Ding responded with a loud promise, drew his sword and raised it over the top, and shouted loudly, "The General has an order to open the gate and the whole army will attack..."

In an instant, a loud trumpet sounded in Xiangguan camp. With the endless trumpet sounds, the originally closed door slowly opened.

Well, well...well,

On a lonely peak five miles away from Xiangguan Daying, Gao Chu was watching coldly.

Seeing that the gate of Xiang Guan's camp was wide open, teams of soldiers rushed out of it, Xiang could not help but feel anxious and said, "General Gao Chu, Xiang Guan is going to escape!"

Gao Chu said calmly: "Don't worry, he can't escape."

Xiang Guan chose to abandon the camp, but he could only die faster. If he defended the camp, he might be able to hold on for a few more hours. However, no matter how much he supports, it would be impossible to hold on until reinforcements arrive, because the 40,000 clan children under Xiang Guan were probably already restrained by Xiang Tuo's army, and even if he wanted to reinforce, he would be unable to divide them.

After a pause, Gao Chu turned around and shouted, "Tell me to order me to get out of the front!"

"Yes!" Po Jun, who was guarding Gao Chu, answered a loud voice and then took the order. Xiang, who was standing next to Gao Chu, was shocked and said in a lost voice, "What, let go of the front?"

"Yes." Gao Chu nodded lightly, "Get out of the front."

"General Gao Chu, did you hear it wrong?" Xiang he said even more disbelief, "If we make the move out of the front, Xiang Guan's three thousand elite soldiers can only go out less than five miles ahead. As long as you go out of the mountain, it will be difficult for them to climb to the sky. Why can't we block Xiang Guan and his three thousand elite soldiers in the deep mountains?"

Gao Chu said calmly: "Ling Yin, our goal for this hunt is Xiang Guan, not his three thousand personal troops!"

"This..." Xiang He was stunned when he heard this, and after a while he said a little hesitantly, "Is there any difference?"

"Of course there is a difference." Gao Chu said thoughtfully, "It is not easy to wipe out Xiang Guan's three thousand personal soldiers. If you really force them into a dead end, you will definitely cause great casualties to our army if you resist stubbornly! Moreover, it would be a pity to kill all three thousand personal soldiers. No matter what, these are all veterans who have experienced many battles."

Xiang frowned and said disapprovingly: "These three thousand personal soldiers are loyal to Xiang Guan, and it is not easy to recruit them."

"It's easy or not, you can only know if you have tried it." Gao Chu waved his hand and said calmly, "As for now, let's kill Xiang Guan first."

……………………

Amid the rapid sound of horse hooves, the neck of the neck swarmed out of the mountain pass surrounded by more than a hundred personal riders.

It was hundreds of steps away from the mountain pass, but Xiang Guanshi stopped. Looking back, he found that the three thousand elite soldiers were surging out of the mountain pass hundreds of steps away. As for the five or six thousand people suddenly emerged from the deep mountains and dense forests, they had already been left in the mountain pass further away.

Xiang Guan laughed to the sky and said, "Hahaha, Xiang is young, I want to plot against this general, but I am still young!"

Before he finished speaking, a sudden horn sounded in the dense forests on both sides of the mountain pass, and then the two teams of cavalry, who were fully equipped with habitual cavalry, emerged like ghosts from the forests on both sides of the mountain pass. Xiang Guan's face suddenly changed. The sudden appearance of the two teams of cavalry blocked the connection between the three thousand infantry and Xiang Guan and more than a hundred personal cavalry.
