Guan Xiu's eyes turned to Liu Yao again, and he could see that this general was the main general of Zhang Zun and others, although he was already unkempt, he still saw that he was very young, and he didn't know who he was, so he opened his mouth and asked Liu Yao:

"I don't know who this general is?"

Liu Yao looked at Guan Xiu and asked herself, after all, she came to other people's realms, she didn't dare to hold it up, she clasped her hands into fists and bowed, and replied:

"Liu Yao, the king of Han Anding, is fortunate to meet General Xiaoguan!"

Guan Xiu was immediately shocked again, he didn't expect that the other party was a royal clan, and he was so humble and polite, Guan Xiu didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists and apologized:

"The last general doesn't know that His Royal Highness and General Zhang are coming, and he has offended a lot, please forgive His Highness!"

Liu Yao laughed, hurriedly helped Guan Xiu, and quipped: "General Xiaoguan, didn't he let me wait for the barbarians to enter the city?" ”

Guan Xiu got up and slapped his head.

"Oh, please Your Highness and General Zhang quickly enter the city."

Guan Xiu welcomed Liu Yao and his generals into Jianning City, ordered people to kill chickens and slaughter dolphins to entertain Liu Yao's generals, and personally set up a banquet for Liu Yao and Zhang Zun to wash the dust.

During the banquet, Liu Yao, Guan Xiu and Zhang Zun sat down in front of each other, and after bathing and changing clothes, Liu Yao and Zhang Zun returned to their former dignified image at this time.

Originally, Liu Yao asked Chen She to also sit together, Chen She was afraid and didn't dare to hold it up, Liu Yao is the prince of the clan, Zhang Zun is a relative and the grandson of Huanhou, Guan Xiu is the grandson of Shouting Hou Guan Yu, all of them are after the founding fathers of the Shu Han Dynasty, speaking of which, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others Taoyuan married and worshiped as brothers, and now Liu Yao and Zhang Zun Guan Xiu are also equal according to their generation.

He Chen She is just a general, naturally he can't compare with them, Chen She is a self-aware person, Liu Yao repeatedly invited Chen She to join the table, but Chen She insisted on going back to the barracks to eat a big pot of rice with eight hundred soldiers, Liu Yao knew that Chen She was in charge, so he gave up.

At the banquet, Guan Xiu poured wine for Liu Yao and Zhang Zunman, raised a glass to the two and said: "This cup will make amends to His Royal Highness and General Zhang, and I will do it first as a respect." ”

After that, Guan Xiu drank it all.

Liu Yao watched Guan Xiu finish drinking, did not speak, and glanced at Zhang Zun, both of them with bitter faces.

Guan Xiu saw that Liu Yao and Zhang Zun had not raised their glasses and moved their chopsticks for a long time, and he was puzzled, so he asked:

"But this dish and wine are not to the liking of His Highness and General Zhang?"

Liu Yao sighed, stroked his forehead with his hand, and replied:

"It is precisely because the wine and dishes are too rich that I can't swallow it, Chengdu has been captured by Deng Ai's Wei army, and the Son of Heaven and the Hundred Officials and Clans have fallen into the hands of the Wei Army.

When Guan Xiu heard this, he immediately put down his wine glass in shock.

"What? Chengdu has fallen? The Son of Heaven was captured? ”

Zhang Zun turned his head to look at Guan Xiu, his face was a little unhappy, and he asked:

"Your Majesty sent an envoy to Jianning half a month ago, why didn't General Guan Suo send troops for a long time? Where is General Guan Suo now? ”

Liu Yao knew that Guan Suo was Guan Yu's third son, and the Guan family was absolutely loyal and supportive to the Shu Han regime, so there must be some reason for not sending troops, so he didn't ask much.

Guan Xiu's brows furrowed tightly, and he said with some sadness: "Father.... Already passed away two months ago. ”

After Liu Yao and Zhang Zun heard it, they had to comfort: "General Xiaoguan mourns!" ”

Guan Xiu pondered for a moment, sighed, and said:

"The situation in Nanzhong is not optimistic, when my father followed Prime Minister Zhuge to pacify Nanzhong and surrender to Nanzhong King Meng Huo, he guarded here, and married the daughter of Nanzhong King Meng Huo, which is the mother, after that, Nanzhong no longer dared to make trouble for decades, my mother had passed away a few years ago, in recent years, my Han Dynasty has repeatedly used troops in the Northern Expedition, the national strength has weakened, and Nanzhong has become stronger and stronger."

Liu Yao understood at the moment that Jiang Wei's continuous Northern Expedition in the past few years had a hard time, and the life of the border county was not easy, so he got up and picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine for Guan Xiu, and asked Guan Xiu:

"Who is this current king of Nanzhong?"

Guan Xiu was also a little dry at the moment, took a sip of wine, and continued:

"Today's king of Nanzhong is Meng Qiu, the son of Meng Xu, Meng Qiu has no other skills, but gave birth to a good son, the son's name is Meng Tai, the daughter's name is Meng Yining, Meng Tai's strength is infinite, so that he has a hand of iron thistle terrestris, known as the first warrior in Nanzhong, and his daughter Meng Yining doesn't know where to learn the art of war, helping Meng Qiu unify the various departments of Nanzhong, speaking of which, I have to call them cousins."

Zhang Zun obviously didn't believe it, interrupted Guan Xiu, and said loudly: "Gotta get it!" It's just a few barbarians, do they really have such ability? General Xiaoguan also looked at it! ”

Liu Yao was also a little unimpressed when he heard this, the barbarians are in an uncivilized barren land, but their strength is always limited.

Guan Xiu saw that Liu Yao and Zhang Zun didn't believe it, and continued with some seriousness:

"There are many heroes in the world, why do you underestimate others? When I was seventeen years old, I went to Nanzhong to congratulate my uncle Meng Qiu on his birthday, and I saw this Meng Tai, I thought it was also Nanzhong who was false, so I underestimated him, and I had to compete with him that day, but I didn't expect to lose under his men in just over 20 rounds. ”

Liu Yao suddenly became interested, Guan Xiu and Zhang Zun were on par, Zhang Zun's strength he naturally knew, Guan Xiu couldn't find out more than Zhang Zun, Meng Tai was able to defeat Guan Xiu in more than 20 rounds, and it was indeed good, Liu Yao wanted to see him.

"In this way, this Meng Tai is really not in vain." Liu Yao believed it immediately.

Guan Xiu smiled slightly, then showed a sad face, and then said:

"Not only Meng Tai is brave, his daughter is also familiar with military books and war strategies, Meng Qiu since he got these two children, the strength of the Meng Qiu tribe in the south is second to none, and soon unified the various departments in the south, Meng Qiu also has ambitions at this time, want to reach out to this Jianning County, intimidated by the prestige of his father, has not dared to move, after the death of his father, Meng Qiu continued to send barbarians to harass the surroundings of Jianning County, after getting His Majesty's help, I was anxious, but there were only three thousand county soldiers in Jianning City, I took the soldiers away, This Nuoda Jianning County was afraid that it was about to fall into the hands of Meng Qiu, so he did not raise troops to rescue him. ”

After listening to Guan Xiu's description, Liu Yao was extremely anxious, thinking that when he came to Nanzhong, he would be able to get soldiers and horses to fight back at Chengdu, but he didn't expect the situation in Nanzhong to be so dangerous.

Liu Yao frowned and thought for a while, and said to Guan Xiu and Zhang Zun:

"Although the situation in Nanzhong is complicated, but I have worked hard to come here, I can't return in vain, now my Han regime is in danger, and the rescue of the Son of Heaven can not be delayed any longer, I am determined to go to Nanzhong in person to meet Meng Qiu, indicating that it is powerful, if it goes well, borrow barbarian soldiers from Meng Qiu to rescue Chengdu."

Zhang Zun couldn't sit still, didn't dare to let Liu Yao take the risk alone, and said, "Your Highness, I'll go with you." ”
