Chapter 558: Be the first to strike

Liu Xin looked at Guan Yu with a surprised face. In history, Cao Cao gave Guan Yu a small banquet on three days, a big banquet on the fifth day, a gold on the horse, a silver on the horse, and even the red free horse that climbed the mountain and waded on the flat ground was given to him, but it did not make him return. Now, he just rewarded Du Xiuniang to him at his request, and he suddenly called himself "lord". Liu Xin couldn't help but doubt his judgment yesterday. The beautiful Du Xiuniang may be from a low background, and her behavior lacks an inner temperament and charm, but she may have some other unique charm.

Guan Yu saw Liu Xin's stunned expression, and arched his hand again, and said: "The last general asked Sun Qian yesterday that Liu Bei had already led the army to Yuan Shu. The last general is willing to lead an elite army to catch up, capture Liu Bei alive, and dedicate it to the lord's account, please ask the lord's grace! ”

Liu Xin was even more surprised, the power of the beauty was really extraordinary, it was only one night's work, Guan Yu and Liu Bei completely broke up! You must know that even after hearing that Liu Bei slept with Du Xiuniang, Guan Yu never called Liu Bei's name directly, even if he promised to serve the Han Dynasty and was ordered to set up an ambush to arrest Liu Bei, he still called Liu Bei the eldest brother in front of Liu Xin. Now, Guan Yu not only called Liu Bei's name, but also added the word "that guy", which made Liu Xin a little uncomfortable for a while.

Seeing these changes in Guan Yu, Liu Xin was a little happy while being surprised. Yes, it's a blessing rather than a regret. If Liu Xin was also like Liu Bei or Cao Cao in history, greedy for Du Xiuniang's beauty and took Du Xiuniang for himself, it is certain that Guan Yu would not only not be obedient, but would also hold a grudge. Although the martial arts of many of Liu Xin's generals are in the same league as Guan Yu, and it is possible to defeat Guan Yu with their joint efforts or wheel tactics, but it is quite difficult to take Guan Yu's life, and he may escape at any time. If you can't kill Guan Yu, you have to guard against him in turn, and being always remembered by such a master is always a headache.

Actually, Liu Xin's judgment yesterday was not wrong. Du Xiuniang has no other strengths except for her natural beauty, she can neither chant poetry, nor sing and dance, nor even female workers. But Du Xiuniang also has the same benefit, she is obedient, no matter which man she falls into, she will not resist.

Yesterday, Liu Xin deliberately asked Minchan to dress up Du Xiuniang and Cao Hui. Minchan not only dances well, but is also a master in this regard, after her personal dress, Cao Hui and Du Xiuniang are still three points more gorgeous than the original. Therefore, when Guan Yu saw these two women for the first time, his eyes were straight, especially when they had the hosta on their heads, and they were making a pair, but they responded to the words of the shopkeeper Song, and it was fate to divide and merge, which made Guan Yu like in a dream.

Cao Hui saw Du Xiuniang for the first time, and was also shocked by her beauty, and felt a little ashamed of herself, but under the guidance of Minchan, the two women soon became sisters, and they were very harmonious. Because Cao Hui was pregnant, Du Xiuniang naturally accompanied Guan Yu, which happened to be a little less embarrassing.

Du Xiuniang knew that she was a weak woman from a humble background, she didn't want to compete with Cao Hui, a young lady in the family, for any status, anyway, she was used to it, and there was no difference between a wife and a concubine for her. For Guan Yu, Du Xiuniang is even more flattering. In her eyes, whether it was Qin Yi, Lu Bu, Liu Bei in the past, or Guan Yu now, as long as she fell in love with her, what could she do except endure it?

Guan Yu was also full of joy when he saw Du Xiuniang behaving very docilely, needless to say that this night was lingering. When Guan Yu held the soft and boneless Du Xiuniang in his arms and wantonly played with the white meat on her chest, he finally couldn't help but ask about the matter between Liu Bei and Du Xiuniang, because this was Guan Yu's heart disease, and he had been haunted by it.

Although these things were a little difficult to talk about, Du Xiuniang didn't dare to hide anything from Guan Yu, so she started from the first time Liu Bei entered her room, and even Liu Bei's almost perverted hobbies told Guan Yu. Hearing this, Guan Yu was unconsciously furious, and it was only at this time that he completely recognized the true face of that hypocritical big brother. On the contrary, the legendary womanizer Liu Xin was not the slightest moved in the face of Du Xiuniang's beauty, and let his wife dress up Du Xiuniang carefully, and then rewarded him. In fact, Liu Xin had every good reason to take Du Xiuniang for himself, because he Guan Yu did not complete the task given to him by Liu Xin, and he always refused to call him the lord.

Comparing the two, Guan Yu suddenly found that Liu Xin, whom he despised in his heart, was more noble than his respected eldest brother. This is the scene where Guan Yu took the initiative to see Liu Xin today, and out of bitter hatred for Liu Bei, Guan Yu also asked to lead the troops to pursue Liu Bei.

Of course, Liu Xin didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in it, he just sighed that he used a Du Xiuniang to make Guan Yu willing to serve his life.

Yesterday, Liu Xin was anxious to show his attitude to the scholar family in Xuzhou, and ordered Sun Gan's beheading without interrogation, so he did not know that Liu Bei was going to defect to Yuan Shu. According to Liu Xin's grasp of the situation, Yuan Shu looked down on Liu Bei who made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes, so Liu Xin was also very shocked when he heard the news.

However, Liu Xin soon understood that Liu Bei was desperate and had to make this decision. It is certain that Liu Bei is only temporarily looking for a place to live in Yuan Shu, as long as there is an opportunity, Liu Bei will find another him, and even try to replace Yuan Shu.

Since Liu Bei and Yuan Shu can't have the same mind, there is no need for Liu Xin to send troops to pursue him at this time, wouldn't it be better to keep him and Yuan Shu fighting in the nest. Thinking of this, Liu Xin waved his hand and said: "People can't stand without trust, Liu has promised Yuan Shu not to use troops against him for the time being." Since Liu Bei has defected to Yuan Shu, Liu must not lose his trust, let him go. ”

Guan Yu didn't know that Liu Xin's plan was to use troops against Jiaozhou and Liu Miao first, and now, he only had hatred for Liu Bei in his chest. Hearing that Liu Xin didn't want to use soldiers, Guan Yu was a little anxious, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Qi, the last general has one more important matter to report." ”

Liu Xin knew very well that Guan Yu used to be Liu Bei's most trusted person, and he must have held many of Liu Bei's secrets, since Guan Yumao said that it was an important matter, it must be a great matter, and he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "What is the matter?" ”

Guan Yu bowed and said: "Back to the lord, the jade seal of the country is now in Liu Bei's hands!" ”

Hearing the news, Liu Xin was not surprised. As early as when he was in Luoyang, Liu Xin knew that the jade seal of the country had fallen into the hands of Sun Jian, and since Sun Jian was attacked and killed in Xuzhou, he lost the whereabouts of the jade seal.

According to the information found by the phantom, there were Tao Qian, Kong Rong, and Liu Bei who participated in the ambush of Sun Jian. Among these three people, Kong Rong's territory has been annexed by Cao Cao, and he himself was brought to Puyang by Cao Cao, and appointed an official position with no real power. And Kong Rong is upright, if the jade seal of the country is in his hands, he will definitely be handed over to Liu Xie, the puppet emperor. As for Tao Qian, everyone else is dead, what's the use of keeping the jade seal? Moreover, Tao Qian's position has also been taken over by Liu Bei. Therefore, no matter what aspect you look at, this heirloom jade seal must have fallen into Liu Bei's hands.

Although Liu Xin couldn't understand why Guan Yu was so eager to put Liu Bei to death, he had his own plans, but he would not change them easily for the sake of Guan Yu. Liu Xin glanced at Guan Yu and said lightly: "The jade seal of the country is indeed an important weapon of the country, but not everyone can have it, and strong self-possession will only cause trouble." Yun Chang, you don't have to worry about this matter. Liu Bei forcibly occupied the national treasure, and sooner or later he will be punished, but the time has not yet come, so let him jump for a few more days. ”

Looking at the princes in the world, Liu Xin's strength is the strongest, and he is now temporarily regent of the court as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and it can be said that he is only one step away from the emperor's throne, and Guan Yu is very clear about these situations. In the case of learning the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country, Liu Xin was still able to behave so calmly. Liu Xin's status in Guan Yu's mind couldn't help but be a little higher.

Although Guan Yu is arrogant by nature and self-serving, ordinary people don't take it in his eyes. But he has a characteristic, as long as he respects a certain person, then he will obey that person's orders unconditionally, just like he did to Liu Bei at the beginning. And now, Liu Xin is the person who makes Guan Yu admire. Knowing that Liu Xin would not use troops against Yuan Shu for the time being, Guan Yu no longer insisted on pursuing Liu Bei, and hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, the last general will retire first." ”

"Wait." Liu Xin raised his hand and said, "Yun Chang, although I don't know what happened between you and Liu Bei, but people have to look forward, let the past pass, don't always carry the burden, learn to start a new life." ”

These words were very serious, even Liu Bei had never talked to him like this before, Guan Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Suddenly, Fu Zhi walked in with a piece of paper, and saw Guan Yu standing here, wanting to stop talking.

Liu Xin smiled and said, "Gonghe, Yun Chang is no longer an outsider, you can tell him anything directly, there is no need to hide it from him." ”

Guan Yu was even more moved, and arched his hand and said, "The lord ......"

Liu Xin waved his hand and did not let Guan Yu continue.

When he heard that Guan Yu actually called Liu Xin the lord, he was also stunned, and immediately laughed. However, his smile also flashed, and his face was gloomy, and he presented the document in his hand to Liu Xin, and said: "Lord, please look, Yuan Shu can't sit still, he has already sent troops to Jiujiang a few days ago." ”

Liu Xin's face also became solemn. If it weren't for the fact that he suddenly knew Liu Bei's secret in Qin Yi's house, and Liu Xin wanted to make full use of a rift between Liu Bei and Guan Yu, then his army would have taken Jiujiang and Danyang more than a month ago. Now, Yuan Shu actually grabbed ahead of him and attacked Liu Xuan.
