Chapter 5 True and False Guan Yu
Three days later, on the way to Xuzhou City.
Looking from afar, I saw that the sky was full of dust, and among the countless red flags, there was a Guan Zi flag hanging at the front.
I saw more than 100 cavalry at the front, followed by about 500 hoplites.
Under the banner of Guan Zi, I saw a general with a face like a heavy jujube, a long beard, and a green dragon glaive knife in his hand, sitting on a yellow biao horse.
Looking at it from a distance, you can see the terrifying momentum on this person's body, looking at this appearance, don't think about it, this is naturally the world-shaking Guan Yu Guan Yunchang.
Of course, this Guan Yu is naturally not the real Guan Yu. It was Guan Sheng's fake Guan Yu, and Li Chen accepted the advice of the veterinarian. Let Guan Sheng pretend to be Guan Yu, and then deceive Xuzhou City into his own hands.
Judging from the looks of Guan Sheng and Guan Yu, there is almost eight points of certainty in acting like this. It's not that Guan Yu has never been seen in Xuzhou City, but there is absolutely no one who can tell the difference between Guan Yu and Guan Sheng in a hurry.
Xuzhou City, Tao Qian's Mansion.
On the bed in the bedroom lay an old man with a thin figure who seemed to be dying at any moment. This person is Xuzhou Mu Taoqian.
Tao Qian is a civilian official, although he governs Xuzhou in an orderly manner, but he is not familiar with military affairs and has a cowardly personality.
Last year, when Cao Cao came to attack, he said that if Tao Qian was not fragrant, he would kill Tao Qian's family when the city was broken. Fortunately, Lu Bu, the second and fifth boy, attacked Puyang, and Cao Cao retreated.
Since Cao Cao retired from the army, Tao Qian has been seriously ill, not to mention presiding over Xuzhou government affairs at the moment, I am afraid it is difficult to say how long he will live.
It stands to reason that at this time, the son should inherit the father's business. However, Tao Qian's two sons, the eldest son Tao Shang and the second son Tao Ying are both businessmen and have no plans to become officials.
In other words, inheriting Xuzhou now is not a good choice. Whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, or even Sun Ce of Eastern Wu, they are all staring at this piece of fat. And there is a shortage of soldiers and major generals in Xuzhou City, and the three melons and two dates in the city are not enough for people to fight.
Tao Qian's master is a total of three things, anyway, we can't keep this Xuzhou, so don't ask for it. With the money he has made in Xuzhou over the years, he is also a proper rich man when he returns to his hometown Danyang.
decided to go, but after all, I had to find a home for Xuzhou. In her previous life, the pregnant girl still knew how to find a pick-up man, and Tao Qian ran away and had to find a pick-up man for Xuzhou.
At this time, Tao Qian's subordinate Xuzhou Don't Drive Mi Zhu to speak: "That Liu Bei is good, he is an honest man." ”
Tao Qian was right when he thought about it, Liu Bei had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he seemed to be a good candidate to take over, so he contacted Liu Bei and decided to give Xuzhou to him.
"Dad, I heard that Uncle Liu Huang has sent Guan Yu as the vanguard and led five hundred elite soldiers to receive Xuzhou." The thin potter said to his father on the bed.
As soon as he heard this, Tao Qian got up from the bed and said to his son, "Go and pack the gold and silver, let's leave today?" ”
"Dad, are we in such a hurry? Don't you meet Uncle Liu? The potter asked, puzzled.
"Son, this man is unpredictable. Let's go now, we can take all the gold and silver in the city away, if we wait for Liu Bang to come, it may not be possible at that time. Tao Qian said to his son earnestly.
"Dad, I'll go now, let's leave in the afternoon." The potter replied.
Although Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei, what was left to Liu Bei was a mess. The gold and silver treasures in the treasury in the city were all packed up by Tao Qian, and even the grain in this treasury was sold to the family in the city at a very low price by Tao Qian early.
Tao Qian of Xuzhou City let it, but what he let was an empty city.
An hour later, as soon as Tao Qian's front foot left, "Guan Yu" led five hundred steps to Xuzhou City.
Xuzhou city.
Mi Zhu stood on the city, and behind him were Zang Ba, Sun Guan, and Chen Deng.
Mi Zhu and Chen Deng are Wenchen, while Zang Ba and Sun Guan are military generals, and these four people are already the pillars of Xuzhou.
As for the rest of the people in the Xuzhou officialdom, they can only be evaluated in four words, and they don't mention it.
Mi Zhu advocated sending Xuzhou to Liu Bei, while Chen Deng believed that even if Xuzhou was sent to Liu Bei, Liu Bei would not be able to keep it. In this case, it is better to simply surrender to Cao Cao, so that Xuzhou can also avoid the suffering of war.
It's just that Tao Qian pays attention to reputation. In contrast, sending Xuzhou to Liu Bei is naturally much better than surrendering like Cao Cao. As for whether Liu Bei can defend it, Xuzhou will not be implicated in the war, which has nothing to do with Tao Qian.
Mi Zhu looked at the city, and saw that the general under the city was eight feet tall, with a long beard on his chin, long temples on his temples, a pair of red phoenix eyes, a face like a heavy jujube, and his lips as if they were coated with rouge.
"It's Guan Yunchang, that's good." Mi Zhu thought in his heart, and walked to the city.
Walking in front of Guan Sheng, Mi Zhu arched his hand and said: "Tao Gong is seriously ill and has returned to his hometown Danyang first, and now this Xuzhou City will be handed over to Senior Brother Yun by me." ”
Guan Sheng stroked his long beard and said to Mi Zhu: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Guan will come first, and my father-in-law will arrive early tomorrow morning, and he will be handed over at that time. ”
"So good, very good." Mi Zhu smiled.
You must know that Tao Qian was able to promise to let Chu Xuzhou City and Liu Bei, all of which were lobbying by Mi Zhu. Waiting for Liu Bei to become the lord of Xuzhou, he Mi Zhu is the minister of the dragon.
It's just that Mi Zhu doesn't know that this Guan Yu is not the other Guan Yu. The lord in Guan Yu's mouth in front of him is not the lord he thinks.
Guan Sheng opened Danfeng's eyes and said to Mi Zhu: "Since this is the case, how about handing over this city wall to Guan first?" ”
"General Guan, do you believe ......it or not" Zang Ba was halfway through his words, and was pulled back by Sun Guan.
"It should be, it should be." Sun Guan hurriedly played the round.
"Let's go, go back to camp."
"Hand over the walls of this place to General Guan." Zang Ba waved his hand and said indignantly.
Seeing Guan Yu's cold temperament, Mi Zhu and the others didn't say anything, and arched their hands: "Since this is the case, then when Uncle Liu Huang is here tomorrow, let's continue." ”
After Mi Zhu and the others left, Guan Sheng whispered in the ear of a soldier, and after a while, he saw a few fast horses galloping towards the outside of the city.
Xuzhou City, thirty miles away.
"Lord, the scout is here."
"General Guan Sheng, he has deceived Xuzhou into his hands." Zhang Dequan is also a veterinarian report.
That night, the gate of Xuzhou suddenly opened.
As soon as he entered Xuzhou, Li Chen immediately began to give orders.
"Where is Li Siye?"
"The end will be."
"Order you to lead 800 Mo sword soldiers and 3,000 infantry to quickly control the Xuzhou battalion."
"No."
"Where is Guan Sheng?"
"The end will be."
"Order you to lead 500 people to control the officials of Xuzhou, and I will see them in the state governor's mansion within an hour."
"No."
......
......
After the two were ordered to lead their troops away, it was time for the city to change the banner of the king. Countless black Li flags are waving in the wind, which is also reflecting the surname Li in Xuzhou from now on.
