"I'm sorry for Yide." Guan Yu sighed: "Finally, the three of us are still alive, and the sky has given us a way to live." Big brother, now that Cao Cao is the emperor and the Han family is not here, do you have any plans? ”

"I plan to gather righteous soldiers to fight against Cao thieves again and save Emperor Han."

"Big brother, wake up." Guan Yu shook his shoulder. "The Han family is no longer there, and now there is no one to fight Cao Cao for the Han family. Neither Id nor I want to see your senseless tragic death. ”

Liu Bei listened to the sound of the stream not far away, looked at the night, and said: "I am the blood of the Han family after all, and I must not neglect the foundation of my ancestors." ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other and sighed.

Just as the three of them were at an impasse, the sound of horses' hooves slowly approached. The three watched vigilantly, and to the west, three dark shadows approached. Since the number of people was not large, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were fearless.

"Who!" Guan Yu said loudly.

"Are you alright?"

"Strategist!" Zhang Fei heard the voice.

"Is it Kong Ming?" Liu Bei looked up at one of the three riders.

"It's hot." Kong Ming shook his feather fan.

"It's good if you're okay!" Liu Bei choked up excitedly.

Zhuge Liang turned over and dismounted, and the two guards behind him remained motionless.

"It's just pretending to be sick." Zhuge Liang said with a smile. "It's really not my future to work for someone like Cao Cao."

"Hey." Liu Bei shook his head impatiently. "It's my fault."

"But you haven't woken up yet." Zhuge Liang broke through: "If I knew that you still wanted to die for the Han family, I shouldn't have asked someone to report to you." ”

Only then did Liu Bei know that the archer was sent by Zhuge Liang.

"What do you mean?" At this moment, Liu Bei was very eager for Zhuge Liang's advice.

"If you still want to fight, follow Pang Shiyuan. If you want to live in peace, you can also return to the countryside. Zhuge Liang said.

"Hey, I'm tired too." Liu Bei sighed and said: "Since the Han family is not poor, I will also plant a few acres of land and have a peaceful birthday." Anyway, before going to Liuli, I sent my wife and children to the territory of Renguo, if it goes well, it should be a merchant all the way to the White Emperor City, and spend my old age at the junction of Yizhou and Jingzhou, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, a good place. ”

"Haha, it coincides with me." Zhuge Liang smiled happily. "Then I was relieved. Isn't it, Yun Chang, Yide? ”

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei muttered, "I want to ...... I want to take a trip to Jiangxia. ”

Guan Yu glanced at Liu Bei.

"Go ahead, it's your own way, take advantage of it." Liu Bei smiled and said: "He has calmed the world in the day, and he has also worked for the cang." You can't let Cao Mengde attack the White Emperor City. ”

The crowd laughed.

In the dark night of the twinkling stars, they seemed to be the only ones who existed. Years of sharing glory and disgrace have made them one, and tonight, they are separated by their own will and take a step forward in life.

It is not known whether the dividing point of their lives can be the dividing point of the situation.

After arriving in Yingchuan County, Jingzhou, they broke up. Liu Bei galloped towards his ideal hometown, while Zhang Fei and Guan Yu headed for Jiangxia County. Zhuge Liang went to Wollongong, looked at the Big Dipper under the night sky, and said with a light smile: "The time has not yet come." ”

During this time, Pang Tong had been thinking about the Red Lotus Sect. He came to a conclusion - the Red Lotus Sect chose Cao Wei.

The reason for his thinking was the events of Giant Tail. Originally, all the grain corruption in the granary of Giant Tail City was regarded as an ordinary incident caused by weather or other reasons, although it was a huge blow to the overall situation, but no one questioned this. But after Zhu Rong took the green bead and turned all the corruption into a new life, Pang Tong couldn't help but think that the enemy must have the same power, the opposite of the power of recovery, which corrupts things. The one who has this kind of strange artifact must be a sect like Taoism or the Red Lotus Sect. And the only one who makes trouble with it must be done by the Red Lotus Sect. Originally, as a celestial changer, he Pang Tong was already the first person in the assassination spectrum by the Red Lotus Sect, no matter what the situation became, the Red Lotus Sect would not come to support him Pang Tong. At that time, only Sun Quan and Cao Cao were second.

Zhang Zhao, an important minister of the Wu State, who had already learned from Xueyue, was one of the three elders of the Red Lotus Sect, and it was clear when he thought about the whole incident. The Red Lotus Sect chose Cao Cao, and after Zhang Zhao secretly communicated with Zhou Shixie against the Wu State, he leaked the military secrets of the Wu State, which caused the Wu State to be powerless to fight back on all the battlefields, and finally collapsed, and also contributed to the surrender of the whole country of Wu, this kind of thing is not impossible for the Red Lotus Sect. After all, the Ten Standing Servants also controlled the Han Court under the manipulation of the Red Lotus Sect, which led to the decline of the Great Han.

Since the people of the Red Lotus Sect can sneak into his grain city quietly, then there will also be the possibility of doing this kind of thing for the second time. For this reason, Pang Tong strengthened the garrison of all the granaries, and the area around Juwei was full of camp tents and sentry posts, like a watertight defensive posture. Many people don't understand what Pang Tong is doing. Because of what happened in Giant Tail City, all information was tightly sealed since Zhu Rong came. All the soldiers who knew about this matter had to keep their mouths shut, and only Lu Bu, Zhou Yu and other high-ranking officials of Renguo knew about this matter.

One day when the sun was shining, Cao Cao's messenger finally came. Pang Tong greeted the guest in the palace. Guo Jia, the personal adviser of Cao Cao's side, came to Pang Tong thousands of miles away, and even Lu Bu knew that it was for the general of the Wei State, and now he has been replaced by Cao Ren, who is the Great Sima. However, Pang Tong was quite polite to this Cao Ren, and he drank a lot of meat and wine every day.

Guo Jia thought that Pang Tong would give him a dismount, at least get some soldiers to put up a formation to scare him, so he was mentally prepared for all the responses, and even stuffed some appropriate lines into his head. But he was brought into an extremely ordinary mansion, if you want to say that it is not ordinary, it is a mansion for the people, and it is too far from the identity of Pang Tong to say that this mansion is too far behind.

"How is this the mansion owned by the king, what is the difference between it and the mansion of a local tyrant." Guo Jia thought to himself. He looked left and right, as if he had been led into a street alley. Walking in front of the lobby of the ordinary mansion, he entered the hall, which was deserted, there was no figure on the two rows of seats, and on the upper seat, a man in a white robe was drinking water. A rural dwelling's life atmosphere.

Guo Jiada has the feeling that he is in the wrong place.

Pang Tong put the water cup to one side of the case, and said: "Around is Lord Guo of Wei State, I am Pang Tong of Renguo." Yan Bi smiled slightly.

Guo Jia himself was mentally prepared to face the benevolent king Pang Tong, and he also planned to turn defeat into victory under the pressure of that legendary man. But because of the scenery along the way and my own thoughts, I suddenly forgot what to do, as if time had been reversed. And just as the attendant who had brought him into the lobby left, the man who was not wearing gold or silver in the upper seat calmly confided his identity.

Guo Jia's whole body trembled, and a kind of coercion that was revealed invisibly was simply shocking. The confidence exuded by Pang Tong's simple smile seemed to smash all defenses. Guo Jia hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Guo Jia, a strategist under the King of Wei, is filial piety, and asks King Ren to forgive his sins." ”

"Forgiveness? You have broken the law in my territory? ”

"Not really. Please forgive me for boldly entering the court and offending majesty. It's so rude. After Guo Jia finished speaking, his heart sank, he had been led to a downhill road. Before the negotiations began, he had already lost his confidence. It's not going to work, I'll have to figure it out, he thought to himself.

"You may be seated."

Pang Tong did not answer his words, but directly and politely sat down. Guo Jia didn't dare to disobey, and sat down directly on the first chair of Pang Tong's right hand.

"I have heard that Guo Fengxiao is the first strategist of the Wei State, and I am also fortunate to meet it." Pang Tong said.

The tea was brought from the person and placed on the table on Guo Jia's side. Guo Jia picked up the water glass, listened to Pang Tong's approval, he took a sip lightly and put it down.

"Could it be that the nickname of 'the first strategist of the Wei Kingdom' is the name of King Ren? I, Guo Fengxiao, am a citizen of Wei State, and I must not accept it. He chuckled and said, "I have a lot of talented people in the Wei Kingdom. There are Sima Yi, Xun Yu, Xun You, Dong Zhao, Cheng Yu, Xu You, these Wang Zuo talents, and there will be Xu Chu, Xiahou Dan, Yu Ban, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin and other fierce generals. I, a mere Guo Fengxiao, want to bear the name of 'the first strategist of the Wei State', which is really insulting to everyone. ”

Pang Tong smiled, but in his heart he knew that Cao Wei's civil and military lineup was indeed strong. He nodded and said happily: "Modesty is a good thing, too modest...... Hehe, Master Guo is too humble. You have listed so many famous people for me, I would like to ask, which is more than you? ”

"Both." Guo Jia said with a smile.
