After Jia Xu went back, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and after discussing with Niu Fu and Dong Yue, he decided to give Sun Ce more horses.

Sun Ce was the only one willing to associate with them at the moment, and if the relationship between the two sides broke down, Sun Ce could buy horses from somewhere else, but they had no other choice to buy high-grade ordnance. There are iron officials in Nanyang, which was originally an important production area for the production of ordnance, and now after Sun Ce's transformation, the quality of ordnance has been stable in the upper reaches. What's more, Sun Ce still has the advantage of sea salt in his hands, if he lets the sea salt from Xuzhou enter Hongnong County, the significance of Hedong Salt Pond will be significantly reduced.

Niu Fu and Dong Yue felt reasonable, carefully selected, and finally selected fifty war horses. Of course, these fifty war horses are not ordinary war horses, but middle-class and upper-grade war horses, which are already the best war horses they can come up with now. In addition, Jia Xu also sent a good horse to Sun Ce himself. His Qinghai skull was killed, and there is no good mount yet.

Sun Ce was very satisfied, and after two more days, he left Jiang Gan to negotiate with Jia Xu and return to Luoyang by himself.

He was accompanied by Xu Huang and Guan Yu's families.

Xu Huang was left behind by him on a mission to Junyi, and his family didn't know about it at all, and when they saw that he hadn't come back for a long time, they thought something had happened to him. Jia Xu knew, but he didn't expect to send someone to inform Xu Huang's family, and he thought that Xu Huang was left by Zhu Jun as a small official. It is normal for local officials to be expropriated by the Three Dukes' Mansion. Later, I learned that Xu Huang had become Sun Ce's subordinate, and it was too late to regret it. All he could do was to send someone to Xu Huang's house and properly arrange for Xu Huang's family to move.

As for Guan Yu's family, Jiang Gan had already arranged for someone to pick him up. There is only one old father left in Guan Yu's family, named Guan Yi, who has a long way to go. Originally, he had a wife and no children, but after Guan Yu fled, his wife remarried. Guan Yu killed someone and fled, and then there was no news to send it back, Guan Yi thought he was dead, knowing that Guan Yu was alive and became a general, the old man was so happy that the wrinkles on his face were opened, and he stumbled to the ancestral tomb of the Guan family and kowtowed a few times.

As soon as Sun Ce saw Guan Yi, he felt that this was Guan Yu's father, who looked too similar, although his face was not as red as Guan Yu's, and his height was not as tall as Guan Yu's, his facial features were very similar, especially the bearded one. But the most similar thing is that I still like "Zuo Biography", and two sentences come out from time to time. Sun Ce estimated that he might have also thought about reading the scriptures and entering the office, but his talent was average, and his family background was not good, so he failed to achieve his dream, so he had to pass on this knowledge to Guan Yu.

"Zuo Chuan" is one of the "Spring and Autumn Three Biography", which belongs to the ancient scriptures and was once included in the official school in the Eastern Han Dynasty. "Zuo Biography" has a detailed account, even if you don't have a teacher's guidance, you can read it as a storybook, and the other two pay attention to subtle words, without the teacher's guidance, it is not easy for me to understand. Guan Yu's level is also the level of reading storybooks, he is very familiar with it, but his understanding is limited, and he is too far away from professional scholars, so it is impossible to become an official with this. He looks down on scholars and may also be often ridiculed by others, resulting in a rebellious mentality, which in psychological terms is extreme conceit caused by extreme inferiority.

Lao Guan Yi was very restrained at first, and later heard that Sun Ce didn't study, so he relaxed a little, but he still didn't say anything, and he was very old-fashioned when he said a few words occasionally, and he didn't depart from the word loyalty. Sun Ce felt that Guan Yu was probably brainwashed too badly by him when he was a child, and he didn't think about Liu Bei when he voted for him, but he wanted to be a minister, and he was loyal and straightforward at every turn, and there was no way to be a minister in his eyes.

To be honest, Liu Bei can tolerate him.

Dead reading kills people.

A few days later, Sun Ce arrived in Xin'an and met Guo Jia. When he went to Huangchi to meet Jia Xu, Guo Jia was stationed in Xin'an with the guards and the men and horses of Gongdu, ready to answer at any time. For the people of Xiliang, everyone has little confidence.

Seeing Sun Ce's safe return, Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Bei and the three were also in the greeting procession. Because of disobedience to military orders, Liu Bei was dealt with by military law, and the credit for the capture of the flag by the Yu beheading general made up for it, Liu Bei only received twenty military sticks, and then was removed from his military post and became an ordinary soldier. Twenty military sticks are not easy to suffer, Liu Bei can't get up now, he can only lie on a board, carried by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Guo Jia originally asked him not to come, but he had to follow, saying that it was etiquette, and it had to be so.

Liu Bei was very respectful, but Guan Yu was very unhappy and refused to even come forward to salute. Zhang Fei originally wanted to come to say hello to Sun Ce, but was stopped by him. "What qualifications does an ordinary soldier have to greet the general?" For the same reason, he didn't let Liu Bei salute Sun Ce. He didn't leave, and Zhang Fei couldn't walk alone, so he had to stand in place.

Sun Ce couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw Guan Zhang and the others carrying Liu Bei in the distance. He originally thought that Liu Bei would leave him after being beaten with twenty military sticks and switch to Zhu Jun or whoever else.

"Why are they here?"

"Don't let him come, he has to come." Guo Jia shook the feather fan and said with a wry smile: "General, I think he seems to be sticking to you, listen to what he means, and I still want to enter the righteous camp." ”

"Wouldn't it, be so soft?"

"Well, I'm also surprised, this person can bend and stretch, and he has the forbearance of hooking, and he will be a scourge in the future."

"Haha......" Sun Ce chuckled and beckoned to Guan Yu. Guan Yu stiffened his neck and deliberately pretended not to see, but Liu Bei urged repeatedly, Guan Yu was helpless, so he had to carry Liu Bei over with Zhang Fei.

"Meet the General." Liu Bei was full of smiles. "The general has worked hard."

Sun Ce crooked his mouth. "How's the injury?"

"With Nanyang's medicine, it's out of the way. After a few more days of rest, he will be healed, and then he will saddle up with the general, and hope that the general will not be disgusted. ”

Sun Ce smiled, smiling innocently. "Xuande, I'm very happy that you can think so. When you're healed, I'll take you to battle in all directions. By the way, Yun Chang, I brought someone, maybe you know. ”

Guan Yu snorted disdainfully and turned his head very arrogantly.

Sun Ce didn't care, turned around and beckoned, Xu Huang opened the door of the cart and helped Lao Guan Yi out. Lao Guan Yi was old and not in good health, so Sun Ce took care of him and let him and Xu Huang's father ride in a big car. He held on to the car door, and before he could get off the ground and stand firmly, he looked around with a pair of presbyopia eyes open.

"Changsheng, Changsheng, my Changsheng, where are you?"

Guan Yuden was stunned, his two eyes looked directly at Guan Yi, his mouth opened, but he couldn't say a word, and two lines of hot tears poured out of his eyes unconsciously. He suddenly threw down the plank, took a big stride, rushed to Guan Yi in two steps, fell to his knees with a plop, and cried.

"Father, unfilial children are born here."

Guan Yu was excited when he saw his father, but he forgot about Liu Bei and threw him directly on the ground. Liu Bei was defenseless at all, his eyes were in pain, he was covered in cold sweat, he didn't even have the strength to cry out in pain, and his two hands were tightly clenched into fists.

Sun Ce couldn't help but smile and said seriously: "It seems that there is still a difference between this gentleman and his father. ”

Guo Jiayi was stern, and he didn't mean to joke at all. "Spring and Autumn righteousness, father and son first, then monarch and minister."
