Early the next morning, Guan Yu came to the Prime Minister's Mansion again to meet Cao Cao, Cao Cao knew that Guan Yu must have come to say goodbye to him again, so he continued to excuse his illness, Guan Yu saw this, and could only return to his own mansion. However, after Guan Yu returned to Fuzhong this time, he did not continue to wait stupidly, but ordered the more than 20 sergeants who had surrendered with him before to start packing up and packing up the carriages and horses, and he was ready to leave Xu Du directly for Hebei without saying goodbye.

Guan Yu left all the property and servants that Cao Cao rewarded him in the mansion, hung the seal letter of the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion on the beams of the house, and wrote a letter to Cao Cao, which read: "Uncle Yu Shaoshi Emperor, swear to live and die together; The emperor and queen of heaven are really heard. The former was lost, and the three things he asked for had been promised. Now that I know that the old master is now in Yuan Shao's army, how can I go against it when I think back to the alliance of the past? Although the new grace is thick, the old righteousness is unforgettable. Zite took his leave in the letter, and Fu Wei took care of it. It has no grace to repay, and it is willing to wait for a different day. ”

After doing all this, Guan Yu asked Liu Bei's two wives to sit in the carriage, and he himself rode on a red rabbit horse, carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, and led the old Japanese soldiers to escort the chariot and go straight to the north gate of Xudu. The soldiers of Cao Jun on duty at the city gate knew Guan Yu's ability, and did not dare to block Guan Yu's convoy strongly, but after a little expression, they hurriedly retreated, and the soldiers of Cao Jun arranged for Guan Yu's convoy to go out of the city, and hurriedly reported the matter to Cao Cao.

After Guan Yu escorted the escort car out of Xudu, he went straight to the north, and after the convoy traveled ten miles, Guan Yu said to the left and right sergeants: "Wait for the escort car to go first, Cao Cao will definitely send someone to chase after me, I will cut off one or two, and I will catch up later, and the people from the province have disturbed the two ladies." ”

"No, I'll wait for the order, and I hope the general will come quickly!"

The left and right sergeants also knew that the speed of the guards could not be fast, and if the Cao army chased them, they would soon be able to catch up with them, so they could only obey the promise and escort the chariots to speed up and go straight north along the official road.

……

When Cao Cao was discussing with his subordinates how to leave Guan Yu, suddenly there was a report from the left and right, Guan Yu sent a letter, Cao Cao Ling recklessly read the letter, and exclaimed: "The big thing is not good, Guan Yu left a book and went to Hebei!" ”

At this time, another north gate guard came to report: "Guan Yu led more than 20 sergeants to escort a carriage to seize the door, and he has left the city!" ”

The attendants of Guan Yu's mansion also came to report: "Guan Yu sealed the gold and silver property rewarded to him by the prime minister and the Hou Yinxin of Hanshou Pavilion escorted a frame away. ”

When everyone heard that Guan Yu hung the seal and sealed the gold and left, they were all shocked in their hearts, there are really people in this world who are not greedy for glory and wealth!

When everyone was shocked, suddenly a person stepped forward and said: "The last general asks for an order, please give the prime minister three thousand iron horses to the last general, and the last general will capture Guan Yu back to the front of the prime minister!" ”

Everyone turned around and looked, this person was none other than Cai Yang, the general under Cao Cao!

Cai Yang loves Cao Cao very much to take the red rabbit horse from Lu Bu, and has asked Cao Cao many times to let Cao Cao reward the red rabbit horse to him, but Cao Cao in order to win over Guan Yu, and finally gave the red rabbit horse to Guan Yu, which made Cai Yang very dissatisfied, and provoked Guan Yu several times, but Guan Yu didn't want to cause trouble and didn't pay attention to him, which also fueled Cai Yang's careful thinking, he always wanted to give Guan Yu a good look, and now Guan Yu 'defected'. Cai Yang naturally will not let go of this peerless opportunity.

When Cao Cao heard Cai Yang's words, he thought for a moment in his heart, Guan Yu would definitely not turn back after leaving, unless he was killed. But Guan Yu has just made a great contribution to him, if he kills him, I am afraid that no one in the world will be convinced, and then he will lose people's hearts, if so, it will be a little more than worth the loss, so he said, "Guan Yu does not forget the old master, come and go to understand, the real husband is also!" You and others imitate his loyalty, and since he wants to go, let him go, and there is no need to chase him. ”

Cheng Yu heard that Cao Cao was going to let Guan Yu go, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Prime Minister, this matter must not be allowed, the Prime Minister treats Guan Yu very well, and now he dares to say goodbye without saying goodbye, this is the following crime!" Moreover, Guan Yu will definitely help Yuan Shao when he goes to Hebei, and Yuan Shao's army will definitely be like a tiger with wings! also asked the prime minister to quickly send troops to pursue Guan Yu and kill him to prevent future troubles!! ”

Cao Cao closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said: "I have promised before, if I find Liu Bei's news, I will let him go, how can I break my trust with others at this time?" ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Liao and said: "Yun Chang hung the seal and sealed the gold and left, it can be seen that the bribe is not enough to move his heart, and Jue Lu cannot move his will!" Such a loyal and brave man, I admire him very much, since I can't keep him, let him sell him another favor, you and ride lightly to keep him, just say that I will come later, to give him practice! ”

"No, the last general will take the order!"

Zhang Liao has always been good friends with Guan Yu, and seeing that Cao Cao didn't want to embarrass Guan Yu, he was also very happy in his heart, in order not to cause Guan Yu's misunderstanding, he did not lead the sergeant, but rode alone to pursue Guan Yu's convoy. After Zhang Liao rode away, Cao Cao ordered some gold and silver plates and a green robe, and then led dozens of iron horsemen as escorts, and drove horses out of the city to chase north.

Guan Yu waited outside the city for a while, saw that Cao Cao did not send troops to chase, he rode a red rabbit horse to catch up with the continuum, after everyone converged, continued to move along the official road, Guan Yu and the others just came to a bridge, suddenly there was a rush of horses' hooves behind the sound, and the people shouted: "Yun Chang slow, I am Zhang Liao is also!"

Guan Yu turned around and saw Zhang Liao chasing after him alone, and felt a little surprised in his heart, but Zhang Liao was the only one, and Guan Yu was naturally not afraid in his heart. Guan Yu ordered the sergeant to continue to escort the chariot forward, while he himself restrained the red rabbit horse, stopped on the wooden bridge with the Qinglong Glaive in his hand, and replied in a loud voice: "What is the matter with Wen Yuan, is he trying to pursue me?" ”

Zhang Liao was afraid of causing Guan Yu's discomfort, so he stopped dozens of steps away, turned over and dismounted, and stuck the long knife in his hand into the ground to show his heart, and replied: "No, the prime minister knows that Brother Tai is going to travel far away, and wants to come to see him off in person, so I am specially ordered to come first, and the Prime Minister will arrive later, and I will ask Brother Tai to take a moment." ”

Guan Yu is still on Cao Cao's territory, Cao Cao asked him to stop, he naturally didn't dare to easily go against Cao Cao's wishes, so he said: "If the prime minister leads the iron cavalry to come, I will fight to the death without mercy!" ”

"Hahahaha, Yun Chang is too worried, just wait for a while!"

Zhang Liao laughed and replied to Guan Yu, and then he didn't say much, one of the two of them immediately located on the bridge with a horizontal knife, and the other led the war horse to stand under the bridge, quietly waiting for Cao Cao's arrival.

After a while, I saw a road of smoke and dust billowing from the south, it was Cao Cao who led dozens of horsemen to rush here, Cao Jun's generals Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Li Dian and others were worried about Cao Cao's safety, and they also rushed over, after all, Guan Yu and Wan Jun's ability to take the enemy's head from it is too scary, if they don't agree, Guan Yu will directly attack Cao Cao, and they will be dumbfounded.

Cao Cao saw Guan Yu's horizontal knife and immediately stood on the bridge, so he ordered all the generals to restrain the war horses dozens of steps away, and let them put the weapons in their hands on the ground, Guan Yu saw the actions of Cao Jun and others, which was a little relieved, after all, Xu Chu, Xu Huang and others also knew the ability, if Cao Cao wanted to attack him, as long as he ordered his generals to rush up, there was really no need to be so troublesome.

Cao Cao ordered the generals to stop, only to let a sergeant with a tray follow behind, and the two walked towards Guan Yu, although the generals of the Cao army were secretly anxious, but they did not dare to disobey Cao Cao's military orders, they could only look at Guan Yu, so that he did not dare to act rashly.

Cao Cao and the two came to Guan Yu ten steps away, and Cao Cao said with a smile: "Why is Yun Chang in such a hurry to leave? ”

Guan Yu immediately bowed back and replied: "Guan Mou had an appointment with the prime minister before, as long as he gets the news of his brother, he will go to serve, and now my brother is in Hebei, I must go to Hebei to serve!" Guan Mou went to the mansion several times to meet the prime minister, but the prime minister couldn't get sick, so he had no choice but to leave a book to say goodbye, hang the seal and seal the gold and leave, and hope that the prime minister will not be blamed! I don't know what happened to the prime minister, is he trying to break the previous agreement? ”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "I, Cao Cao, still want to win the trust of the world with my faithfulness, how can I break my previous promise?" I heard that the general was in a hurry, and I was worried that Yun Chang would lack coiled materials on the way, so I specially sent them for Yun Chang, and by the way, I practiced for Yun Chang. ”

Cao Cao ordered the sergeant to open the tray in his hand, only to see a plate full of yellow scarves on it, Guan Yu glanced at the gold, and politely refused: "Thanks to the prime minister's gift, Guan still has a little extra money, which is enough to spend on the road, and the prime minister still keeps these gold to reward the soldiers." ”

Cao Cao replied: "Yun Chang has made great contributions to me many times, and these gold are not enough to reward Yun Chang's merits, so Yun Chang doesn't have to shirk anymore."

Guan Yu still politely refused: "A little credit, why worry about it, these gold are not necessary, the last general will understand it." ”

Cao Cao saw that Guan Yu insisted on not accepting it, so he could only wave his hand to order the sergeant to retreat, and then took the brocade robe, "Yun Chang is a righteous man in the world, but I can't leave you because of my poor fortune." Since Yun Chang is unwilling to accept the gold, I will no longer force it, but I also ask Yun Chang to accept this brocade robe to show my heart. ”

Guan Yu saw that Cao Cao was really prevaricating, so he could only accept this brocade robe, but Guan Yu did not get off the horse easily, but used the Qinglong Yanyue Knife to pick up the brocade robe and drape it on his body, and said: "Thanks to the prime minister's robe, I will meet him later!" ”。

After Guan Yu finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, beat his horse and went straight to the north.

Cao Cao watched Guan Yu go farther and farther, and whispered: "You have repeatedly made great contributions to me, I will no longer force you to stay, as for whether you can reach Hebei smoothly, it depends on the will of heaven!! ”
