Chapter 172: The Situation Changes
"Lord ......" saw Liu Bei mention Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Chen Gong was also silent.
Everyone knows that since Liu Bei joined the army, Guan and Zhang have always been his right-hand men, and they have fought with Liu Bei.
Now that he has no arms, how can Liu Bei not feel stunned?
Liu Bei's dependents, Guan and Zhang Er. Now that the two of them are gone, it is normal for Liu Bei to feel confused about the future, because he has lost the object of dependence.
Zhang Fei has no news, but there is also news that Guan Yu is committed to Cao Cao and has made such a great contribution to the other party, how can Liu Bei not feel sad?
Even though Chen Gong didn't know much about Taoyuan's feelings, he also knew that Guan Yu's weight in Liu Bei's heart was irreplaceable.
was betrayed by Guan Yu, Liu Bei's heart must be dripping blood!
"Gongtai, you say, Yun Chang is serving Cao Cao, will there be any hidden secrets that we don't know?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong and asked faintly.
Liu Bei really didn't believe that Guan Yu would betray him, he didn't want to believe that Guan Yu would betray him at all!
Catch? Chen Gong shook his head helplessly. If Guan Yu had to temporarily live in Cao Ying for some reason, this is indeed possible. But if this is the case, would he be so desperate on the battlefield of Guandu, almost exchanging his life for Cao Cao's victory?
Guan Yu's performance on the battlefield of Guandu is enough to show that he is wholeheartedly loyal to Cao Cao, Chen Gongzuo thought.
Seeing Chen Gong shaking his head, Liu Bei's face became even worse.
After a long time, Liu Bei spoke again: "Gongtai, no one in the world knows much about my news in Chuyang City, maybe the second brother thought I was dead, so he took refuge in Cao Cao." I want to convey the news that I am living in Chuyang, and then send a letter to my second brother. I think that if the cloud chief learns of my traces, he will come to look for me. ”
Liu Bei knew Guan Yu, and he firmly believed that Guan Yu must have thought that he was dead, so he would join Cao Cao.
"I think...... Inappropriate. After pondering for a while, Chen Gong slowly said these five words.
Chen Gong knew how important Liu Bei's feelings for Guan Yu were, and he also knew how eager Liu Bei was to hope that Guan Yu could return to his side, but Chen Gong was not one of the parties in Taoyuan after all, and he was not sure whether Guan Yu was really as Liu Bei said, and he was not really willing to surrender to Cao.
In Chen Gong's heart, he vaguely believed that Guan Yu was dedicated to serving Cao Cao.
In this troubled era, where can brotherhood be relied on? There is still a scourge between brothers, not to mention the brothers.
Mixing under Cao Cao, the conditions are naturally much better than mixing under Liu Bei, and with Guan Yu's ability, it will not be a problem at all to worship a high-level general position in the future. People go to high places, and Guan Yu naturally has no shortage of reasons to take refuge in Cao Cao.
This can't be said that Chen Gong misunderstood Guan Yu without a plan, but Guan Yu's performance on the battlefield of Guandu was too dazzling, saying that he didn't really work hard for Cao Cao? At least Chen Gong couldn't believe it.
As a righteous brother, Zhang Fei is afraid that he can't understand Guan Yu's temperament anymore, but in another time and space, even if he is as close as Zhang Fei, he once mistakenly thought that Guan Yu betrayed and wanted to kill him, so what about Chen Gong and he is an outsider.
If Guan Yu changed his mind and served Cao Cao loyally, then Liu Bei would tell the other party all about his current situation, wouldn't he be killing himself?
Chen Gong had an instinctive dislike for Cao Cao, and he hated Zhang Liao, Zang Ba and others who had betrayed the enemy, and even had a bit of a bad feeling for them. And now for Guan Yu, Chen Gong also has a bad feeling.
"Isn't it possible?" Liu Bei was slightly stunned, Chen Gong rejected his idea, which actually made him feel a little helpless.
Liu Bei still trusts Chen Gong's resourcefulness very much, and now his number one military advisor thinks that Guan Yu is sincere to Cao, what should he do?
"Alas......" Chen Gong didn't expect that a Guan Yu would have such a big impact on Liu Bei.
"Report ——!" Just when Liu Bei and Chen Gong were speechless, a herald suddenly came to report, "Tell the lord that the whereabouts of the three generals have been discovered!" ”
Three Generals...... Winged!? When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes, which were still depressed before, suddenly lit up.

Sun Jian led his army to entrench in Wancheng for several months, confronting Cao Cao in Xuchang City. It stands to reason that there is no hope for Xuchang to attack the city, and Sun Jian should retreat to Jiangdong at this time, but he has always been suspicious of Sun Quan's killing, and he has always had hatred and obsession in his heart, and he is unwilling to retreat.
In March of the second year of Jian'an (197 AD), Liu Biao ordered Cai Mao and Wen Ping to lead heavy troops to recapture Jiangxia from Sun Jian.
Liu Biao's action suddenly scared Sun Jian out of a cold sweat, if Jiang Xia fell, he would be alone in Wancheng.
At that time, he will have Cao Cao in the north and Liu Biao in the south, and there will definitely be only one way to perish.
The hateful Liu Biao dared to attack my city, this account must be settled in the future! At that moment, Sun Jian couldn't care about Cao Cao, so he hurriedly led his troops south to aid Jiangxia.
After Sun Jian evacuated, Cao Cao ordered Zhang He and Guan Yu to attack and reoccupy Wancheng.
Although Wancheng is not light for Sun Jian, it is not as important as Jiang Xia's coming after all, if you choose one of the two, Sun Jian's move to protect Jiang Xia and abandon Wancheng is also very normal.
At the beginning of April, when spring and summer were at the turn of summer, the Yingchuan scribes decided to take a boat trip on Yingshui for a larger gathering. Like the last literary meeting, Guo Jia invited Gao Shun to go with him, and when he was rafting, Gao Shun took out Li Bai's "Yin on the River", which once again amazed the audience.
The sand tang boat of Mulan, the jade flute and gold pipe sit at two ends. The wine bottle is placed in the middle, and the prostitutes are left with the waves. The immortals are waiting to take the yellow crane, and the seafarers have no intention of following the white gulls. Qu Ping's words are endowed with the sun and the moon, and the king of Chu is empty on the hills. The pen shakes the five mountains, and the poem becomes a laugh and arrogant Cangzhou. If fame and wealth are long, the Han River should also flow northwest.
This talent, this feeling, this artistic conception, this imagination...... Rao is that everyone on the ship is a world-renowned literati, Rao is they already know that Gao Shun is full of literary talents, and at this time they can't help but be deeply impressed by this poem.
And Gao Shun's reputation has risen a few points.
In mid-April, Sun Jian defeated Liu Biao's army again in Jiangxia, leaving some of his men to defend the town and return to Wu County.
At the end of April, Sun Jian was suddenly assassinated by several Assassins on his way to the parade, but due to the desperate protection of the guards and Sun Jian's own martial arts, he was only slightly injured.
Under severe torture, one of the assassins finally couldn't bear it anymore and confessed that he was a disciple of the Lu clan in Jiangdong. The Lu clan was resentful because the patriarch Lu Kang was killed by Sun Jian, so they sent people to assassinate them.
Sun Jian was furious and sent 1,000 troops, vowing to slaughter the entire Lu clan.
