"It's finally time to ......" Looking at Jiangxia City that had already appeared in sight, Liao Hua, who was covered in blood, let out a sigh of relief, and walked towards the city with a strong spirit.

Guan Yu's soldiers were trapped in Zaoyang, and after waiting for two days without waiting for any reply from Jiangxia, Guan Yu ordered Liao Hua to lead his troops to break through and go to Jiangxia for help. After a bloody battle, Liao Hua finally broke through the encirclement of the Han army, but Liao Hua rushed out alone, and all the hundred people who followed Liao Hua were left behind by the Han army.

Tired from running all the way, Liao Hua was hungry and tired at this time, but in order to let Jiangxia send troops to relieve Guan Yu as soon as possible, Liao Hua gritted his teeth and insisted on coming to Jiangxia City.

After verifying Liao Hua's identity, the Jiangxia defenders hurriedly took Liao Hua into the city and sent it to the county guard's mansion. After Liu Feng learned that Liao Hua was coming, he hurriedly put down his affairs and came to Liao Hua.

"Major General, please send reinforcements to Zaoyang quickly." When Liao Hua saw Liu Feng, he hurriedly said.

"Yuan Jian, don't worry, haven't you been following General Guan all the time? Where is General Kwan now? What the hell is going on? Liu Fenglian asked Liao Hua a few questions.

Although Liao Hua was anxious, he also knew that if he didn't make it clear, Liu Feng might not send troops, so he had to patiently explain to Liu Feng: "The young general didn't know, the Han army went south, General Guan learned of this and led his troops to resist, at first he fought and won the battle, but he didn't want to be ambushed by the Han army when he arrived at Queweipo, General Guan was defeated, and now he retreated to Zaoyang, and I hope that the young general will quickly send troops and horses to relieve the siege for General Guan." ”

“…… I see. The corners of Liu Feng's mouth couldn't help but turn up, he couldn't blame him for gloating at this time, he could only say that Guan Yu usually didn't know how to be a person, and he looked down on people all day long, who could be happy to see it? Coupled with the fact that Guan Yu is not very interested in Liu Feng, the so-called elder brother and son, Liu Feng naturally wants to see Guan Yu unlucky.

"The matter of sending troops is urgent, but the emperor has not yet sent hungry soldiers, Yuan Jian will give me some time to gather men and horses, take advantage of this time Yuan Jian will rest first, I will order someone to prepare some food for you, and you will sleep after eating, and I will order someone to come and inform you when the army is dispatched."

What Liu Feng said was reasonable, and Liao Hua couldn't hold it anymore at this time, so he hurriedly hugged Liu Feng gratefully, "So General Lao will bother." ”

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of duty. Come on, take Yuan Jian down to rest. ”

At this time, Liao Hua naturally didn't need any delicacies from the mountains and seas, a big bowl of noodles and five steamed buns were enough for Liao Hua to eat to his heart's content. The dishes and chopsticks did not need to be cleaned up by Liao Hua, who was full of food and drink, took off his clothes and fell asleep on the bed. I slept so soundly this night, and when Liao Hua finally opened his eyes when he was asleep, he suddenly found that the situation was a little wrong, when did he ask someone to tie it up?

"Someone! Come!! Liao Hua couldn't break free, so he had to shout.

Soon two people walked in, and when they saw Liao Hua open his eyes, they couldn't help but smile and said, "Oops~ You can be regarded as awake, if you don't wake up again, I thought I had too much medicine?" ”

"Where is Liu Feng? What about Liu Feng? Let him come to me! Liao Hua realized that the situation might not be good, and immediately shouted.

It's just that as soon as the words fell, Liao Hua was punched, and the person who did it looked at Liao Hua with a sneer and said: "Liao Hua, find out your current identity, you are a prisoner, what qualifications do you have to see whoever you want?" Stay honest, General Liu will come to see you, but when to meet, it's not up to you to decide. ”

Liao Hua glared at the two people in front of him, and one of them smiled strangely when he saw this: "Ouch~ I don't seem to be very convinced by your little eyes." Brother, Lord Liao has just woken up, and his mind may still be a little confused, so we let him sober up. ”

"Okay, that's what my little brother has in mind."

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, Liao Hua's martial arts are not bad, but at this time he is tied hands and feet, and he can only honestly give people sandbags, but Liao Hua is still tough, although he is beaten, but his mouth is constantly scolding, the harder others beat, the louder he scolds.

……

"Liu Feng! You villain who betrays his lord and seeks glory! No wonder General Guan doesn't like you! As soon as he saw Liu Feng, Liao Hua was immediately like an enraged bull, and rushed straight to Liu Feng, but before Liao Hua rushed closer, he was kicked in the lower abdomen by a person next to Liu Feng, and the whole person flew out upside down and knocked over the coffee table seat.

Liao Hua was hit hard, lying on the ground with his body on his back, beads of sweat the size of beans coming out of his forehead and falling straight to the ground. But Liao Hua didn't give in, and tried to raise his head and glared at Liu Feng, as if he wanted to kill the other party with his eyes.

Liu Feng shook his head pitifully, stepped forward and squatted in front of Liao Hua and said: "Yuan Jian, good birds choose trees to perch, not to mention that Liu Bei attacked the court for his own selfish interests, and I, Kou Feng, am a Han Chinese, although I mistakenly believe that the thief is my father, but I don't want to be obsessed." Now that the court is benevolent and willing to give me a chance to forgive my sins, how could I miss it. ”

"Hmph, I really didn't expect you Liu Feng to be a clever and eloquent person, I underestimated you in the past." Liao Hua snorted coldly.

"Yuan Jian, let me repeat to you again, my surname is Kou, and my name is Kou Feng. At the beginning, Liu Bei accepted me as his son, but it was just to get the support of the Jingnan family, but unfortunately I was deceived by Liu Bei's false name at that time, so I made the thing of recognizing the thief as my father. But now it's different, I, Kou Feng, have seen Liu Bei's true face clearly, so naturally I can't make mistakes again and again. ”

"Hmph, shameless villain." Liao Hua said disdainfully.

“…… Yuan Jian, the surname of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is Liu, but it does not mean that those surnamed Liu have a chance to be the Son of Heaven. For the sake of you and me, I tell you the truth, there is no future with Liu Bei, Liu Bei could go smoothly before, but it was only because the court was busy dealing with Cao Cao, but now that the war between the court and Cao Cao has ended, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty personally led a large army to quell the rebellion, how long do you think Liu Bei can hold out? This time is different from the past, in the past, Liu Bei was defeated and could still be taken in by others, but this time, you see who dares to take in the thief. Your Liao family is also a big family in Jingzhou, but since you followed Liu Bei, do you think about whether your Liao family is better or worse than before? ”

Liao Hua is not from the Yellow Turban thief described in the romance, he is from the Liao family in Jingzhou, a scholarly family, and as a child of the family, the first thing to consider is naturally the interests of his own family. Liao Hua is not an old minister like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who has followed Liu Bei for many years, so when Liu Feng mentioned the Liao family's interests in Jingzhou, Liao Hua was silent, he couldn't completely offend the court for a moment's pleasure, the harm to the Liao family was too serious.

Seeing that Liao Hua was silent, Liu Feng continued to persuade: "This time you came to Jiangxia for help, not because I have a good relationship between Kou Feng and Guan Yu, but except for my Jiangxia, there are no troops in Jingbei at present. But have you thought about it, even if I send troops to save Guan Yu, I can't save it, even if I am lucky to rescue him Guan Yu, with that Guan Yu's temperament, will he change his attitude towards me in the future? ”

"......" Liao Hua didn't squeak, because he knew that what Liu Feng said was the truth, and after following Guan Yu for a long time, he had a certain understanding of Guan Yu's temper. To tell the truth, Guan Yu is a bit snobbish, after Liu Bei married Mi Zhen in the romance, Guan Yu treated Mi Zhu Mi Fang brothers quite politely, but as soon as Mi Zhen died, Guan Yu's attitude immediately changed. Later, when Guan Yu sent troops to attack Fancheng, because Mi Fang did not supply grain and grass in time, he threatened to clean up Mi Fang when he returned, so that Mi Fang surrendered to Eastern Wu in fear, and Guan Yu lost his way out and lost Maicheng.

In modern terms, Guan Yu is too low in emotional intelligence and can't handle interpersonal relationships. For example, Sun Quan asked Guan Yu for his son. Guan Yu is unwilling, saying that his daughter is young or unwilling to let his daughter marry too far, this reason is enough to refuse Soochow, but Guan Yu just said that a tiger girl can marry a dog?

I know that you Guan Yu loves your daughter, but you can't say that the Sun family has a litter of dogs. Even ordinary people don't turn their faces when they hear this kind of metaphor. What's more, what qualifications do you Guan Yu have to look down on Sun Quan? Although Sun Quan inherited his father's and brother's business and became the lord of Jiangdong, the battle of Chibi was not won by others?

Guan Yu was unlucky in that mouth, so he couldn't speak, so that he made countless enemies. When he was unlucky, naturally no one was willing to lend a hand.

Although there is no battle of Chibi now, and Sun Quan is not the lord of Jiangdong, Guan Yu's temper is still like that, so he is not less offended by anyone who should be offended.

The hearts of the people in Jingbei were not subdued by Liu Bei, but now that the imperial army has been killed, and Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others are actively connecting in secret, with the help of these local snakes, Liu Feng quickly persuaded the lobbyists of the imperial court. is not Liu Bei's biological son, I thought that Liu Bei would have no children in the future when he was old, and he would worship him as his father-in-law, and he might have a chance to take over the power in his hands in the future. But he didn't want to worship Liu Bei for less than a year, Liu Bei's own son Liu Chan was born. This is good news for others, but it is definitely bad news for Liu Feng. The heir is definitely hopeless, maybe he will be killed because of the identity of this righteous son, and Liu Feng has to start thinking about finding another way.

The arrival of the lobbyist of the court was like a sleepy person sending a pillow to Liu Feng. At this time, the imperial court was not the imperial court of the past, and the successive victories in foreign wars had made people aware of the possibility of the revival of the imperial court, especially after defeating Cao Cao, and more and more people were optimistic about the future of the imperial court.

Liu Feng, a person who was worried that there was no way out, had almost no resistance in the face of the olive branch extended by the imperial court. Liao Hua came too unfortunately, if he had come one day later and saw the banner of the Han army fluttering in Jiangxia City, he would not have been imprisoned this time. But he nodded his back, when he came, it happened that Liu Feng negotiated the conditions of submission with the court lobbyists, and before he had time to order someone to change the banner of the Han army, he entered the city, so he didn't want to go out again.

……

Gangneung

Mi Zhu has been a little confused recently, the news of Guan Yu's defeat has reached Jiangling, as the number one in Jiangling City today, there are too many affairs that Mi Zhu needs to deal with. But even if there are affairs that seem to never be finished, when he is free, Mi Zhu still can't help but think about where his own way out is.

I still lost my eyes back then! thought that Liu Bei was his master, but he didn't want to abandon his family and follow all the way, and finally fell into the field where he is now. Mi Zhu believed that if it weren't for Liu Bei's lack of available people at the moment, he wouldn't have thought of reusing himself. In Liu Bei's eyes, I am afraid that he will always be just a money bag, and when the money bag is empty, it will naturally have no use value.

So when Mi Zhu learned that Liu Bei had appointed him as the city guard of Jiangling City, he didn't feel happy at all. Why did you go earlier? Lao Tzu couldn't remember to use me when he wasn't sick or sick before, but now there is no one available, so I remembered that there was still me?

Lao Tzu is not a spare tire!

No matter who you are, you don't like to be looked down upon. Although Mi Zhu has a good temperament, he is also a temperamental person. At this time, serving as the guard of Jiangling City was just a loyal duty, but his loyalty to Liu Bei had been consumed in the time when Liu Bei was idle in the past.

"Father, the child has something to report." Mi Wei hurriedly walked to Mi Zhu's desk and whispered.

"You kid, why don't you understand the rules at all? What's up? Seeing this, Mi Zhu blamed.

Mi Wei is still white, so he can't go in and out of the government at will. However, he is Mi Zhu's son, and when his son came to find Lao Tzu, the gatekeeper naturally did not dare to stop him. Hearing his father's inquiry, Mi Wei first looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Father, I have seen my second uncle and aunt." ”

"What!?" Mi Zhu was shocked when he heard this. It is understandable that Mi Fang came to see him, but the little sister Mi Zhen naturally came, could it be that something happened to the Mi family in Chang'an, and their brothers and sisters came to join him? But I don't seem to be very good at the moment. I was expecting Liu Bei to have a place to go if he couldn't stay here, but he didn't want to have a problem first.

"Where are they now?" Mi Zhu hurriedly asked.

“…… Father, don't panic, the child doesn't look like a fugitive when he looks at his second uncle and aunt. Mi Wei saw Mi Zhu's nervous expression and hurriedly explained.

"What can you discern? Tell me, where are they now? Mi Zhu asked impatiently.

"The child arranged for them to live temporarily on a manor outside the city."

“…… Well, it's pretty smart. Mi Zhu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. Don't look at the current Jiangling City as being in charge, but Mi Zhu believes that Liu Bei has not a lot of eyeliner left in the city, one is to guard against the spies of the Han army, and the other is to guard against the lack of determination among his own people.

"Come with me out of town." Mi Zhu commanded and walked out.

……

Mi Zhu wants to go out of the city, and naturally no one will stop him. And when Mi Zhu saw Mi Fang, the hanging heart was put down, but the son didn't say nonsense, looking at Mi Fang's expression, it really didn't look like he was fleeing. However, where is the little sister?

"The younger brother has seen the elder brother." Mi Fang stepped forward and greeted Mi Zhu.

"Zifang doesn't have to be polite, you and my brother have been reunited after a long absence, it's always good?" Mi Zhu hurriedly helped Mi Fang up and asked.

"Brother Lao is worried, everything is fine."

“…… If you're fine, why are you here? Don't you know that Gangneung City is not peaceful now? Mi Zhu asked puzzled.

"Brother, in fact, the younger brother didn't really want to come to Jiangling at this time, but the younger sister insisted on coming, and the younger brother had to come with him." Mi Fang replied with a wry smile.

"Huh? What does this mean? Where is my little sister now? Mi Zhu didn't understand it even more after hearing it.

"Uh...... Brother, little sister, she has an intention. ”

“…… I already know this, didn't you mention it in your letters? ”

"Brother doesn't want to know who Xiaomei's crush is?"

“…… Who is it? ”

"Dare to ask my brother, who is the person he rescued outside Gangneung City a few months ago?"

Mi Zhu understood this time, a few months ago, Liu Bei personally defeated the Han'an army with arrows, and he was ordered to escort grain and grass to Yong'an, and on the way back to Jiangling, he once saved an injured and unconscious person on the side of the road. Only later did I know that this person's name was Xu Shu, and he was the mastermind of the Han Anjun.

With Mi Zhu's identity, he should have handed Xu Shu over to Liu Bei immediately for disposal. But at that time, Mi Zhu had already lost confidence in Liu Bei, so he had the intention of leaving a way back for himself, and after hiding the matter, he placed Xu Shu in a manor outside his city to recuperate. He didn't tell anyone about this, and he didn't know where Mi Fang heard the news.

"How did you know that?" Mi Zhu asked suspiciously.

"Brother, you don't have to ask about this, knowing too much is not good for you. Xiaomei and Xu Shu met in Chang'an, and planned to get married after the imperial court ended the war against Cao Cao, but they didn't want to get the news that the Han'an army was defeated and Xu Shu's whereabouts were unknown. Mi Fang briefly explained to Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and Mi Fang persuaded when she saw this: "Brother, it's not that there is a problem within the Mi family, but that the means of the imperial court are pervasive, don't ask again." ”

“…… Okay, I won't ask about this matter as a brother, where is the little sister in Xu Shu now? ”

"yes. Brother is slow, at this time, you and I go over, it doesn't seem appropriate. Mi Fang grabbed Mi Zhu and said with an embarrassed expression.

“…… Also, that's a brother, just wait a while. Mi Zhu thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. When the two of them reunite after a long absence, they must have a lot of private things to say, and it would be bad if they broke into it rashly.

The brothers reunited after a long absence, and although there were many letters exchanged during the period, they did not meet in the end. At this time, seeing the real person, Mi Zhu had a lot of things to say to Mi Fang, and Mi Fang was the same. The brothers started with their separation and have been talking about it until now.

“…… No wonder that Xu Shu seemed to let down his guard after learning that I was Mi Zhu, and dared to love him knowing that my eldest brother would not harm him. Mi Zhu said with a look of sudden realization.

"Huh...... Brother, don't underestimate our brother-in-law, he learned from the Water Mirror Academy, he is capable, and he is filial piety, and he has won the trust of today's saints. Although he suffered defeat this time, his career will never be cut off because of this. ”

"Zifang, look where you said, do you still care about his family background? Besides, even if I object, my little sister won't necessarily listen to me, our little sister, the idea is right. ”

"Brother, didn't you just talk about your little sister when we met?" A woman's grumbling voice came from outside the door.

Mi Zhu looked at the person with a little excitement when he heard the words, "I often hear people say that people don't talk about people behind their backs, but I didn't expect this to be really effective, as soon as I mentioned my little sister, my little sister appeared." ”
