Yun Chang POV
Luoyang city is by no measure small. And it is this expansive Luoyang city that has been inexplicably blockaded in all directions by a watertight surround. The enemies are not actually very many but they have managed to stopper every intersection. Could it be that this Du Yuan man is actually a resident of Luoyang city?
But then again, such inexplicable things have been happening a lot, no?
I silently sighed in my mind, and tidied my clothing before I raised the glaive that had come as far with me as the green robe.
“Lord Guan Yu, do you really intend to help us get rid of the Yellow Turbans?” Han Fu asked as he brought my horse over with a look of gratitude.
“Yes. We are the ones borrowing passage after all, so the ones who should be opening the road through should naturally be us. Consider this repayment for your kindness.”
No matter what, we owe Han Fu for letting us through without a permit. And so, we must repay that kindness. Even if I set aside my loyalty, this is something that should be done no matter what.
“If Lord Guan Yu is going to go that far, then I won’t say anymore.” He then gestured and Meng Tan ran up the city tower and delivered a message, “In return, I’ll give you 2,000 of my troops to assist you.”
“Ah, no need. The several hundred men I have are sufficient.” I hurriedly turned down the offer, “If Lord Han Fu were to offer this assistance, I, Guan Yu, would end up owing you even more favours.”
“But…”
“Besides, if Lord Han Fu really wants to use his own troops, then why use I, Guan Yu? Could it be that you don’t trust us?”
“That’s not…” Han Fu did not continue further. He looked like he still had more to say but he stopped Meng Tan in the end.
It’s never a good thing to use the troops belonging to others. If anything happens, I don’t know how I’m supposed to account for the deaths and injuries to troops that are not my own. In the first place, it’s already difficult to do so for my own troops.
“Blade girl, if you need me to, I can bring out my troops anytime.” Meng Huo came over and spoke to me in my ear softly, “The Nanman troops I brought, far outnumber the 1,000 or so you need to face.”
“… Don’t do anything for now.” I hurriedly waved my hands as I got Meng Huo not to act. The problem we caused at Dongling Pass was already bad enough. Though time is of the essence, it’s better not to resort to extreme measures.
“Yun Chang, I’ll go with you.” Just then, Wen Yuan who had disappeared from my sight for a while now suddenly reappeared.
I wanted to turn her offer down but I saw that she had already brought her horse and glaive, and had a look on her that showed she was rwady to fight.
At this sight, I swallowed my rejection and tried to think of some other reason to make her stay but could not, and merely nodded in the end.
“It’s time you set off then. The longer you all take, the more troublesome things will get.” Lu Bu who had come along with Wen Yuan said.
“Leave the lasses to me. There won’t be anything in any case.” Lu Bu yawned as she turned and went back after she finished.
“Take care not to get injured, sister Guan.” “Don’t worry, if she has any injuries. I’ll mend her back to normal.”
Gan Qing and Hua Tuo, who were behind Lu Bu, gave us some words of concern. Though they looked tired, they still did their best to encourage us.
Even if I get to them to go and rest first, they probably won’t obediently accede.
“Ah, I know.” The me at this time, could only answer as refreshingly as possible as I mounted my horse.
— Open the gates!
Hu~ It’s the first time since Xu state city that I’m fighting as the defending side of a city.
As we exited the city gates with our several hundred men, troops with Yellow Turbans wrapped around their heads stood in haphazard rows that extended into the distance, making the landscape look like a wheat field in autumn.
“A rough estimate puts them at a few thousand.” Wen Yuan sighed after she said. Using a few hundred to face a few thousand was obviously not a good idea.
“We just have to do what we always have, and make up for numbers with our martial bravery.” As she said so, Wen Yuan raised her glaive above her head and twirled it about before she slashed down at the ground to her right. As the dust settled, a deep cut into the ground could be seen.
Like we always have huh. As expected of Wen Yuan, her mentality is deserving of respect.
As I thought so, I drew in a deep breath, and then yelled out at the Yellow Turban army, “We are here as representatives of the Administrator to negotiate with you traitors! If you still know what is loyalty and honour, then surrender to the Han! We will not exact violence upon you all if you do so!”
“Ha! What a joke!” A big man at the lead raised his head at my words and scoffed before taking out his machete at his side and swinging it about as a challenge.
Is this man the commander?
“He doesn’t even know how to swing a blade properly, looks like he’s a total amateur.” Wen Yuan smiled as she stoked her horse’s neck, completely disregarding the threat from the big man.
“Then…”
Who will answer the duel first? I looked at Wen Yuan and saw that she was somewhat interested in doing so.
Die!–
Un?
Just then, the yells for slaughter entered my ears.
We still haven’t decided to answer the challenge yet the other side has already begun to charge at us.
