496. Chapter 496: Conflict
When Guan Yu talked about Liu Bei's benefits and ambitions, he completely lost his usual silence and arrogance, but became enthusiastic.
I have to say that Liu Bei really has an incomparable personality charm, especially for a person like Guan Yu who attaches importance to loyalty and righteousness, and is more willing to sacrifice everything for Liu Bei's kindness.
"In the past, I followed my brother and wandered around without a home, so I never took you over. However, my brother is now the pastor of Yuzhou, and he is a prince who dominates one side and has a fixed territory. ”
"Of course, I returned to my hometown this time because I was invited by the general, and I want to take your mother and son to Yuzhou, which is better than suffering in my hometown."
Guan Yu is an extremely strong person, he didn't ask Guan Ping's opinion, he was just stating a fact.
Guan Ping didn't have any senses for Liu Bei, but as soon as he heard the words 'general', his eyes suddenly lit up.
He hurriedly asked, "Ah Weng, you said that the general invited you to return to your hometown and province, are you very familiar with the general?" ”
Guan Yu stroked his beard and said, "A certain brother has stayed in Pusaka for a while, and the general respects his brother as a person, and he also takes good care of me and my third brother. ”
"Later, the general raised troops to fight against Yuan Shu, and I and your third uncle fought bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and made a modest contribution, which also impressed the general."
"Therefore, although I do not serve under the general's account, I am also familiar with the general and the generals of Guanzhong."
Guan Ping was even more excited when he heard this, and continued to ask: "Ah Weng knows the generals of Guanzhong, have you ever studied martial arts with them?" I have heard that there are countless generals under the command of the general, and there are few enemies in the world, how are these generals compared to Ah Weng? ”
Looking at his son's hopeful eyes, although Guan Yu is not the kind of person who boasts about himself, he also wants to establish a tall image in front of his son.
He said proudly: "The generals in Guanzhong are naturally brave and good at fighting, but I and your third uncle Yide are no worse than them. ”
"Maybe ten years ago, we were not the opponent of Lu Fengxian, the first brave general in Guanzhong. With the passage of time, even if we are alone now, we may not necessarily lose to Wen Hou. ”
Everyone has a heart to show off, especially for a father, who wants his children to worship him. is because Guan Yu, who has always been quite introverted, boasted of such a Haikou.
If it was normal, Guan Yu would not be like this, he would only use the Qinglong Glaive in his hand to prove himself. However, in the face of his son, who has not seen him for more than ten years, he naturally does not want to fall into the prestige of being a father.
Of course, what he said was not all boasting, now that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's martial arts have almost become complete, they are indeed not afraid of Lu Bu.
Guan Ping was stunned, he never thought that his little-known father would be able to compete with the first brave general in Guanzhong. Subconsciously, he was somewhat suspicious that his father was talking big.
Even if he had learned Guan Yu's strong strength, Guan Ping only thought that it was because his strength was too poor that he couldn't even catch his father's knife.
In fact, the move that Guan Yu used could only be regarded as half a knife, and he had not yet integrated his spirit into the sword technique.
Otherwise, Guan Yu, who is going all out, will be unstoppable, and for those with low strength, one knife will be a matter of life and death.
Guan Yu's knife technique, what he pays attention to is that the front three knives are indomitable, and there is no life or death. If he really does it with all his might, even if he can't even control himself.
And his horror lies precisely here. If he meets Guan Yu on the battlefield, even if he is a first-class general, he will become the ghost of his sword if he is not careful.
Looking at his son's expression, Guan Yu knew that he didn't believe it, and immediately said: "Wen Hou's courage is beyond the reach of the world, but a person's body has a time to age after all. ”
"Although Wen Hou is not aging now, his strength has slowly slipped down to the peak of his life. On the contrary, his father was in his prime, and it was the golden age of a general's body, so he had the confidence to fight with Wen Hou. ”
For a peerless general, saying such things is somewhat ambitious and destroys his own prestige. After all, every peerless military general is arrogant and conceited.
However, due to the appearance of Wen Zhao, Guan Yu did not really fight with Lu Bu in this era. As for the Tiger Prison Pass Sanying Battle against Lu Bu written in the romance, it is just a fictional plot.
Guan Yu didn't want to leave an image of arrogance in his son's heart, so he spoke so humbly.
When Guan Ping heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly thought: "Ah Weng's words are not bad, General Lu has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, and he is getting older, and his strength is definitely not at its peak." ”
Rao was like this, and he was also extremely surprised that his father could compete with Lu Bu.
Guan Ping asked again: "What position does Ah Weng hold under his uncle's command now?" ”
Guan Yu was suffocated when he heard this, and his face was slightly red. Of course, he already had a big red face, even if he blushed, Guan Ping wouldn't find out.
Fortunately, he is a frank and unscrupulous manly man, even though his position is a little unsatisfactory, he still said: "I am now under my brother's command and serve as the Sima of other departments. ”
In fact, the position of Sima in other departments is not small, and Yu Lu also has a thousand stones. However, now that it is a troubled time, the generals under the various princes do not know how many, and the positions of Sima in other departments are naturally a little insignificant.
As a relative of the Han family, Liu Bei has always claimed that he is loyal to the Han family, so naturally he will not arbitrarily reward the official positions of the generals under his command like the rest of the princes.
In peacetime, even a lieutenant general and a Sima of another department are extremely prominent existences. Even though Liu Bei is now the pastor of Yuzhou, he is still not qualified to be appointed to the position of general.
In order to stick to his loyalty, in order to inform the world of his loyalty to the Han family, he has never rewarded Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others excessively.
Guan Yu in history was only named a partial general after the defeat and temporary surrender to Cao Cao.
As for Zhao Yun, who followed Liu Bei to fight in the south and the north for decades and made great achievements. After the Battle of Chibi, he pacified the four counties of Jingzhou with Liu Bei, and then he was appointed as a partial general.
Therefore, it is reasonable that Guan Yu is now only holding the position of Sima of other departments. But when the young and vigorous Guan Ping heard it, he immediately had a bad feeling for Liu Bei.
He said angrily: "Ah Weng followed Liu Yuzhou when he was broken, and he fought in the north and south for more than ten years, and he never even came back to see his home. He is now the shepherd of a state, but he only gives Ah Weng a position as a Sima of another department, is this person really a master? ”
Guan Ping was just a young man from the countryside, and he didn't know how big an official position Sima of the other department was, but he knew that almost all of the generals in Guanzhong had the title of general.
According to his father, his bravery was not even inferior to that of Wenhou Lu Bu. In this way, his father is also a peerless general.
Although Guan Ping didn't know about the outside world, he also knew about the recruitment order issued by Chen Xu.
He believed that even if his father didn't know the general, he went to the Zhaoxian Pavilion alone to enlist, and with his amazing martial arts, he would be a general in a short time.
On the other hand, Liu Bei, in the face of such a subordinate who followed him loyally and did not even return home for more than ten years, but was only given such a position, Guan Ping was naturally angry in his heart.
In his opinion, if you can share hardships and hardships, but you can't share wealth and prosperity, Liu Bei should not be the master.
Guan Yu has always respected his brother, and when he heard Guan Ping speak like this, he immediately changed color.
"Smack!"
Guan Yu patted the case table hard, and the solid case table was immediately torn apart, and he said sharply to Guan Ping: "Brother treats me like a brother and sister, the same case for food, and the same bed for sleep, how is it not the master?" ”
