After Guan Yu led the army to pacify the Yellow Turban in Runan, he immediately returned to Xudu, Cao Cao learned that Guan Yu's class returned to the court, and personally led the generals out of the city to meet Guan Yu, and specially set up a celebration banquet to celebrate Guan Yu, Guan Yu saw that Cao Cao treated him so kindly, so he could not bear to mention the farewell at the banquet, so as not to disappoint everyone.

What kind of character is Cao Cao, this is a thousand-year-old fox, a hero who is difficult to come out of a century, and the basic ability to observe words and colors is naturally not a problem, at the celebration banquet, Cao Cao saw that Guan Yu's expression was wrong, but Cao Cao was deeply thoughtful, and he also had faint suspicions about Guan Yu's affairs, so he did not directly ask Guan Yu what happened at the celebration banquet.

After the celebration banquet, Cao Cao hurriedly summoned Ban and Le Jin to ask what happened during the conquest of Runan County, Yu Ban heard Cao Cao ask, and said: "Back to the lord, the last general learned from the mouth of the Yellow Turban Army that Liu Bei was in Yuan Shao, Hebei at this time, I am afraid that Guan Yu has also learned the news, so he will look abnormal." ”

After Cao Cao heard Yu Ban's words, his face immediately changed, it must be like this, even Yu Ban, the deputy general, learned about it from the mouth of the descendant, not to mention Guan Yu, who was the main general, Guan Yu's expression was abnormal, he must have learned about Liu Bei's presence in Hebei from some source, and wanted to leave Xu Du to go to Hebei to join Liu Bei!!

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, ordered Yu Ban and Le Jin to retreat, and then found Zhang Liao, who had the best friendship with Guan Yu among the people, and asked him to go and inquire about Guan Yu's intentions.

Zhang Liao came to Guan Yu's mansion and saw Guan Yu sitting in front of the case, so he asked tentatively: "I heard that Brother Tai learned the news of Liu Bei when he was fighting in Runan, and the younger brother came to say hello to Brother Tai!" ”

Guan Yu was not very surprised that Zhang Liao would know about this, after all, his abnormal expression was seen by everyone, and with Cao Cao's control of the army, it was normal for him to want to find out about this matter.

Guan Yu frowned slightly, and when he saw that he couldn't hide it, he directly admitted the matter and said, "Although I already know my brother's whereabouts, I still haven't been able to see my brother, what's worth rejoicing about?" ”

Zhang Liao saw that Guan Yu faintly mentioned the meaning of farewell, and did not answer him, pretending to be joking and asked: "The friendship between Brother Tai and Liu Bei, compared to the friendship between the younger brother and Brother Tai, I don't know which one is more important?" ”

Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled, and replied: "My brother and I are friends; And my brother Liu Bei and I have both friendship and brotherly affection, as well as the courtesy of monarchs and ministers, these two things cannot be compared together. ”

When Zhang Liao heard Guan Yu's reply, he was also a little angry in his heart, and asked directly: "Now that Liu Bei is in Hebei, I don't know if Brother Tai is going to defect?" ”

Guan Yu replied proudly: "How can you turn your back on the words of the past!" Please also ask Wen Yuan to show my heart to the prime minister! ”

Zhang Liao saw that Guan Yu was soft and hard, so he could only go back and tell Cao Cao what Guan Yu said, Cao Cao saw that it was difficult to move Guan Yu, so he no longer summoned Guan Yu, when Guan Yu came to see him, he was sick and did not see Guan Yu, and first dried Guan Yu up, that is, he did not give Guan Yu the opportunity to say goodbye to him in person, and also let people reward Guan Yu with a large amount of beautiful money and money, wanting to leave Guan Yu.

Cao Cao has always treated Guan Yu very kindly, and Guan Yu is not good at saying goodbye, plus he is still waiting for news from Sun Qian, he wants to determine the situation in Hebei first, and then go to Hebei to join Liu Bei, after all, Liu Bei's two wives are still here with Guan Yu, if he can't figure out the situation in Hebei, Guan Yu doesn't dare to go easily.

Just when Cao Cao and Guan Yu were at a stalemate, the secret envoy sent by Liu Bei finally arrived in Xudu.

On this day, Guan Yu was worried about how to say goodbye to Cao Cao, when suddenly a sergeant came to report and an old man came to visit.

Guan Yu thought that Sun Qian had sent back the news, and hurriedly ordered the sergeant to invite someone in, and after the sergeant invited someone in, Guan Yu saw that the person who came was not Sun Gan, and was stunned for a moment, and said, "I don't know who you are, why did you come to see me?" ”

The person replied: "I am Nanyang Chen Zhen, a subordinate of Duke Yuan, and I have come to meet General Guan on the orders of Duke Yuan and Duke Xuande!" ”

When Guan Yu heard that the person claiming to be sent by Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly reprimanded the left and right sergeants, and asked urgently: "Guan has seen Mr., I don't know what Mr. is here, but what does my brother have to convey to Mr.?" ”

Chen Zhen took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Guan Yu, and said, "At this time, Xuande Gong's handwritten letter, the general can check it himself. ”

Guan Yu took the letter and opened it, and saw that the handwriting on the silk book was really Liu Bei's handwriting, so he hurriedly looked down, only to see that the silk book read: "Prepare and step down, make an alliance from Taoyuan, and swear to die together." What is the contradiction of the middle way today, cutting grace and righteousness? The king will want to gain fame and wealth, and he is willing to prepare his head to complete the merit. The book is not exhaustive, and death is waiting to come. ”

After Guan Yu read the letter, when he saw Liu Bei's words, he was very aggrieved, and cried and said: "It's not that I don't want to look for my brother, it's just that I haven't found any trace of my brother, so I have been staying in Xu Du to protect the two sisters-in-law, how can I, Guan Yu, be a treacherous person who is greedy for wealth and wealth, how can my brother be so ......?"

Chen Zhen saw that Guan Yu's true feelings did not seem to be fake, and hurriedly persuaded him: "General, don't be sad, this is all because of Xuande Gong's deep love for you, Xuande Gong misses you very much, since the general still cares about the righteous relationship with Xuande Gong, he should immediately go to Hebei to meet Xuande Gong!" ”

Guan Yu wiped his tears and replied with red eyes: "I'll write a letter now, and ask my husband to help me transfer it to my brother, I will say goodbye to Cao Cao tomorrow and go to Hebei to find my brother!" ”

When Chen Zhen heard Guan Yu's words, he was secretly happy in his heart, and asked tentatively: "If Cao Cao does not allow the general to leave Xudu, what will happen to the general?" ”

Guan Yu replied proudly: "I would rather die than continue to stay in Xudu, I must go to Hebei to find my brother!" ”。

Guan Yu then wrote a letter in his own hand, saying: "The eavesdropping is righteous, and the loyalty is not to death." Yu has been reading since childhood, knows etiquette and righteousness, and watches the things of the sheep's horns and Zuo Botao, and he has not sighed and sobbed. Guarding the front of the next pi. There is no accumulation of millet inside, and there are reinforcements outside; If you want to die immediately, Nai has the weight of her second sister-in-law, and she did not dare to cut off her head and donate her body, resulting in the burden of the trust; Therefore, I will be detained for the time being, and I hope that I will meet later. Near Runan, Fang Zhi's brother letter; That is, he resigned from Cao Gong in person and returned to his second sister-in-law. Yu Dan has different hearts, and gods and men kill together. It is difficult to be poor. There is a period of worship, and there is only a lesson to be learned. ”

Guan Yu put the silk book into the letterbox and said, "Please also ask Mr. to give this letter to my brother, I will definitely set off for Hebei in these two days!" ”
