The seizure of Runan City was not hindered at all, after Guan Yu followed Gong Du into Runan City, those thieves scattered in a hurry, all of them seemed to know the result of Lu Dao, and they ran away and laughed. Of course, in order to act realistically, in order to show Guan Yu's bravery, those guys in Gong Du also let people release arrows indiscriminately, and let some thieves come forward to surround Guan Yu, and then pretend to be invincible and retreat.

Guan Yu was in the city, and also met with their so-called big leader Liu Bi, although they didn't have time to speak, but they saw each other, and after each nodded their heads, Liu Bi also fled Runan City, and looked northwest with Gong Du. To the northwest, about two or three hundred miles, is their old nest ancient city.

However, Guan Yu single-handedly entered Runan City, and he was able to recapture Runan City by himself, which made Yu Ban, Le Jin and other Cao generals stunned.

They couldn't believe that these Runan Yellow Turban thieves could defeat Cao Hong and flee back to Xudu, how could they be defeated by Guan Yu so easily?

However, Guan Yu waved his army into the city and planted the military flag of Cao Jun on the head of the city, and Yu Ban, Le Jin and other generals were sure that it was true.

This battle directly made Yu Ban, Le Jin and other Cao generals admire Guan Yu so much that they can regain a city that is estimated to be guarded by 30,000 or 20,000 Yellow Turban thieves, they really have never imagined.

Although Guan Yu explained to them that it was his Red Rabbit Horse that was fast, after defeating the Yellow Turban Thief General Gong Du, he deliberately did not kill him and let him escape back to the city, and then followed Gong Du into the city with the breakthrough speed of the Red Rabbit Horse. The thieves in the city are all rabble, and they will be defeated if they are not defeated. But. Yu Ban and Le Jin and other Cao generals did not reduce their admiration for Guan Yu.

Because, instead of them riding the red rabbit horse, with the speed of the red rabbit horse, they are estimated to be able to follow the thief into the city as Guan Yu said. But the question is, do they dare? Not to mention that these thieves can even be defeated by Cao Hong. It is difficult to say whether they are the opponents of the thief general, just say that there are so many Yellow Turban thieves in the city, they have the courage to enter the city alone. Will you be torn apart with those thieves and thieves?

Don't dare, Yu Ban didn't dare to ask himself, and Lejin didn't dare to risk himself. You must know that after he follows the thief into the city. The gates were closed. Even if it is to throw yourself into the net and seek your own death. No one would dare to break into the enemy city so rashly.

Therefore, after the battle of Runan City, these Cao generals who were originally sent by Cao Cao to guard Guan Yu were much more respectful and polite to Guan Yu. Except for Guan Yu's sister-in-law Liang Lan, who is still guarded by them, Guan Yu can move freely in the Cao army, and there will be no tail to follow. Fact. After seeing Guan Yu recapture Runan City single-handedly, they all consciously thought. With their martial arts, if Guan Yu really wanted to leave, none of them could stop them. So, why do you have to do something that offends people and is not flattering?

Guan Yu naturally did not leave Cao Ying alone, and his sister-in-law Liang Lan was guarded by Cao Bing, and he was not sure that he could take his sister-in-law away safely, so he could only endure it first.

He did not stay long in Runan City, he led his army to recover the towns near Runan City for Cao Cao, and then returned to the court and returned to Xudu.

As for the whereabouts of the Yellow Turban Army, Guan Yu naturally would not tell Yu Ban and others, and it was impossible to track down those "Yellow Turban Thieves" for them, and kill Liu Bi, Gong Du and others for Cao Cao.

After returning to Xudu, Guan Yu naturally explained the situation to her sister-in-law Liang Lan, and told her that there was really no chance to take her safely to leave Cao Ying and go to the river to meet Liu Bei in Runan. and told her that now she knows the news of Zhang Fei.

Liang Lan was not too enthusiastic about Guan Yu taking her to meet Liu Bei in Yuan Shaojun, Hebei, and asked Guan Yu not to worry, she could take her time. However, she knew the news of Zhang Fei's whereabouts, but she was a little eager to try, saying that if it was inconvenient to go to Hebei, she could take her to meet her third uncle Zhang Fei first.

Between Guan Yu and this sister-in-law, although they both behaved as ordinary as possible, both of them could feel the faint feelings of secret entanglement between the two. It's just that no one dares to say anything about it, or break through it, so they can only suppress it, pretend to be normal to each other, and pretend to meet and talk as usual.

Well, such a situation, although subtle, can make people feel hard. It's just a matter of how long they can last.

Guan Yu's class returned to Xudu, Cao Cao did not greet him personally, but let Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and other generals receive Guan Yu, in addition, he also let Guan Yu go to the court to meet the emperor, and through the emperor, he rewarded Guan Yu. This pacification of the Runan Rebellion was almost entirely the work of Guan Yu alone, and above the court, whether it was the praise of the emperor or the praise of the ministers, Guan Yu felt the great honor.

In addition to rewarding Guan Yu with a large sum of money, he was also given the title of general and a general's mansion. Well, this great general, just followed the title of the old dynasty, and it was a title given by this court, but in fact, he didn't have much power, and he didn't have the right to mobilize military horses. Only the generals personally appointed by Cao Cao can have the real power to mobilize military horses.

Guan Yu didn't think much about it, for him, any money, fame and fortune were all illusory, as long as he left, all these things would no longer be his. It's just that he didn't want Cao Cao to see at a glance that he was determined to leave, so he reluctantly accepted everything given by the imperial court and temporarily took his sister-in-law to live in the general's mansion.

After that, Cao Cao paid attention to the affairs of Guandu on the one hand, preparing for the battle with Yuan Shao in Guandu, and on the other hand, let people keep testing Guan Yu's mind to see if Guan Yu had returned to this court and to him Cao Cao.

And Guan Yu accepted the gift of the imperial court and the mansion given by the imperial court, which made Cao Cao feel that he saw the hope of really getting Guan Yu, and slowly, he paid more attention to the battlefield with Yuan Shao.

At the same time, there are also local affairs in several prefectures and counties such as Yan, Xu, Yu, and Yang, and Cao Cao has to deal with them one by one. Don't say anything else, that is, the selection of talents and the governance of those places make Cao Cao too busy, so naturally it is impossible to remember Guan Yu's affairs all the time.

And Guan Yu, he also faintly realized. If Zhi Lu Dao wants to leave, he may have to wait until the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, at that time. Cao Cao definitely has to go to Guandu, if Cao Cao didn't ask him to go with him, then when Cao Cao was not in Xudu, it would be when Guan Yu left.

Therefore, Guan Yu pressed his patience for the time being and waited for the development of the current situation.

Just when Guan Yu was quietly watching the Spring and Autumn Festival in the General's Mansion. Suddenly, someone came to report that it was an old man who had visited.

Old friend? Guan Yu's heart moved, and it was estimated that Liu Bei had sent someone to see him again. In Runan. After meeting Sun Gan, some time passed, and it was expected that Sun Qian must have returned to Hebei to meet Liu Bei. I don't know if Lu Dao Liu Bei will send people here again, I don't know what news Lu Dao has brought?

Guan Yu didn't think much about it. but he ordered men to be invited.

What surprised Guan Yu was a little. This so-called old man, Guan Yu didn't know. I couldn't help but ask with some surprise: "Who is Your Excellency?" Why is it said that it is a deceased person? ”

"Hehe, I was entrusted by General Guan's deceased to bring a letter to General Guan, and that person's surname is Sun."

"Surname Sun?" As soon as Guan Yu heard this, he knew that it should be Sun Qian, so he hurriedly waved back left and right, and then said to the visitor: "You haven't asked for advice yet, sir, your surname?" Then why didn't Mr. Sun come in person? ”

"The contemptible person is Yuan Shao's subordinate. Chen Zhen, a native of Nanyang, is also. ”

"Yuan Shao's subordinates?" Guan Yu stood up and stared at Chen Zhen with a cold light in his eyes.

This Chen Zhen. With a dark face and a short beard, although he is not tall and strong, he looks a little rough, but he has an elegant temperament that only a scholar can have. Guan Yu estimated that this person did not seem to be a general, and should be a strategist.

As soon as Guan Yu heard that he was Yuan Shao's subordinate, Guan Yu's heart guessed a little bit of this person's intention, probably to persuade him to surrender to Yuan Shao, right?

"General Guan, don't be surprised, General Guan's eldest brother is already a friend of Lord Chen's lord at this moment, don't say more, read the letter from your eldest brother to you first, and you will know the situation. Mr. Sun Qian and Chen knew each other in the early years, and became friends at first sight, he felt that this time he brought a letter to see General Guan, and it was not easy to tell your eldest brother, so he asked Chen to relay it on his behalf, and he himself went to Yingchuan, saying that he was looking for a friend. Chen Zhen took out a letter from the underwear in his arms and handed it to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu didn't say much and took the letter.

"Prepare and step down, make an alliance from Taoyuan, and swear to die together. What is the contradiction of the middle way today, cutting grace and righteousness? The king will want to gain fame and wealth, and he is willing to prepare his head to complete the merit. The book is not exhaustive, and death is waiting to come. ”

Historically, after Guan Yu read Liu Bei's letter, he cried loudly.

However, Guan Yu at this moment did not have too many mood swings.

Obviously, if it is Guan Yu in history, if it is Guan Yu's heart, he still thinks that brother is a hero in the world, a husband, and a benevolent and righteous gentleman. Then, when he saw this letter, he would definitely feel aggrieved by Liu Bei's words with a kind of reproach, especially when Liu Bei misunderstood Guan Yu, thinking that Guan Yu took refuge in Cao Cao for glory and wealth, and seemed to blame and ridicule, and pretended to say that he wanted to offer Liu Bei's own head, so that Guan Yu could gain greater wealth.

These words, for Guan Yu, are deeply hurtful, so Guan Yu, who is bent on returning to the eldest brother's side, after seeing this letter, was stung by Liu Bei's words and felt aggrieved and inexplicable, so he will cry out for the trumpet, and will leave Cao Cao at all costs, and escort his sister-in-law back to Liu Bei's side at all costs. Because, Guan Yu asks himself about loyalty, he will never bear the feeling of righteousness, and he is still the eldest brother of a benevolent and righteous gentleman.

It can be said that Liu Bei's letter is really powerful. However, now, in the eyes of Guan Yu, who has been able to see through Liu Bei's true face, Liu Bei's letter can only make Guan Yu feel ridiculous, and even, he feels that Liu Bei is like this, which makes him feel a little disgusting.

"Be prepared to take a step, make an alliance from Taoyuan, and swear to die together. What is the contradiction of the middle way today, cutting grace and righteousness? ”…… Just this sentence already made Guan Yu feel so disgusted that he wanted to vomit.

Guan Yu is loyal, but Guan Yu never thought that Taoyuan was righteous and became brothers with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, but this does not mean that he has entrusted his life to him Liu Bei. Brothers are brothers, if everyone is brothers with one heart and like-minded, then Guan Yu can die for Liu Bei, but now Liu Bei, Guan Yu asked himself, I'm afraid he really can't die for Liu Bei again.

Not to mention, before in Xuzhou, Liu Bei could actually let Zhang Fei defend Xiaopei? He was able to escape for himself and say that he would live and die with Xuzhou. But he escaped first under the pretext of his own. Now, Liu Bei is talking about Taoyuan's righteousness again, do you want to use this righteousness to kidnap yourself?

Let alone. When he met with Sun Qian before, Guan Yu had already explained the situation to Sun Gan, and he had to make an agreement with Cao Cao for three chapters, and he would surrender to Han but not Cao. Now, why has it become that he is contrary to his middle way and cut off his grace and righteousness?

Hehe, as for what was said later. Whatever he will take fame, he will also say that he will take the head to dedicate himself to Cao Cao to make his own fame. In this case, Liu Bei said to coax the child? I told him everything. It was because he protected his wife and children for him that he was besieged by Cao Cao, and it was difficult for him to escape for his life. However, Liu Bei would still accuse himself like this. This made Guan Yu feel aggrieved in his heart. More disgusting.

In the end, the book is not exhaustive, and death is waiting to be died. This is to force Guan Yu to return to his side as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Guan Yu is no longer the Guan Yu who has been blinded by Liu Bei all his life in history, and his loyalty remains the same, but he will no longer be loyal to Liu Bei.

Guan Yu smiled faintly and placed the letter on the desk. said to Chen Zhen: "Mr. Chen, you and Mr. Sun Qian have already read Liu Bei's letter, right?" ”

"Uh......" Chen Zhen's old face flushed. made his already dark face purple and purple, and he said a little embarrassed: "Chen and Mr. Sun Qian, set off from Yanjin together, on the way, Chen showed Mr. Sun Gan the letter that Yuan Shao entrusted Chen to General Guan, and he also showed Liu Bei's letter to Chen, and we told each other, what each prince wants to say to General Guan. Because of this, Mr. Sun Qian felt ...... Hehe, that guy Sun Qian is a kind person, and he thinks that Liu Bei's letters and words are a little unkind. He couldn't say anything to General Guan, so he asked us, a black-faced person, to meet General Guan. ”

"Well, let's talk about it, what did Liu Bei say again?" Guan Yu waved his hand indifferently, and first asked Chen Zhen to say what Liu Bei wanted to tell Sun Qian.

"Liu Bei entrusted Sun Qian, if General Guan read his letter, if General Guan did not decide to leave Cao Ying immediately and go to Hebei to meet him, then he would say the following words to General Guan." Chen Zhen said: "Second brother, if the younger brother is not moved by fame and fortune, and still cares about the righteousness of Taoyuan back then, he will quickly leave the camp and return to his brother's side." If the second brother is because of the slutty woman of the Liang family, then there is no need to have any scruples. To the brothers, the brothers are like siblings, and the women are like clothes. Those who have achieved great things should not be fettered by the love of their children, and they should not be bound by the love of their children, and they should spoil the big things. That woman, the second brother should abandon and return quickly, the brother is in Yuan Ying, and he has repeatedly encountered the danger of killing, all of which are the second brother, you defeated Zhang He and beheaded Gao Lan. If the second brother is in Caoying for one day, Yuan Shao will suspect that he will be a brother for a day, and if the younger brother does not return, the brother will die, then the so-called Taoyuan righteousness will only become a joke in the world from now on. Please don't blame the second brother for being a brother, because the brother is now in a crisis, I hope the second brother can think about the situation of the brother, otherwise, you and I will be separated from heaven and man from now on, and there will be no brotherly affection. ”

"General Guan, this should be the original words that Liu Bei entrusted Sun Qian to convey to you." After Chen Zhen finished speaking, he explained to Guan Yu: "Mr. Sun Qian, he thinks that General Guan, you value love and righteousness, and you have paid so much for Liu Bei's wife, but Liu Bei takes the things you value so much as General Guan, and also says that you should abandon General Guan, Mr. Sun Qian finds it difficult to say this to General Guan, so he ......."

"Hehe, Guan understands." Guan Yu waved his hand disapprovingly, and said to Chen Zhen: "Okay, then let me read Yuan Shao's letter, and listen to what Yuan Shao said to Guan Mou." ”

"Okay, this is Yuan Shao's letter, as for what he said, it's just something that is not easy to write into the letter." Chen Zhen handed a letter to Guan Yu again, and said: "My lord said that with General Guan's talent, if you vote for him, in the future, it will be under my lord and above ten thousand, what Cao Cao can give you, my lord can also give it to you." As for Liu Bei, he now has no soldiers, no generals, and there is no way out with him......"

"Hehe, General Guan, in fact, Chen is just going through the motions, Chen knows that it is impossible for General Guan to take refuge in my father-in-law." Chen Zhen didn't wait for Guan Yu to speak, so he made his position clear and said: "Yuan Shao is suspicious, indecisive, and not a person who has achieved great things. Before, there were many good opportunities to defeat Cao Cao, but he repeatedly missed it, and only then did he raise troops to fight Cao Cao when Cao Cao's general trend had been achieved, Chen felt that Yuan Shao could not ask for benefits, and he was not Cao Cao's enemy. Therefore, Chen also took the opportunity to make an envoy for Yuan Shao this time and left from then on...... Well, I heard that many of Yuan Shao's generals were dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, and it would never be Chen who ran away. ”

"Hehe, Mr. Chen turned out to be such a fast-talking person, and it is also a pleasure for Guan Yu to know Mr. Chen this time, so Mr. Chen also knows the meaning of Guan, so it doesn't matter if Yuan Shao's letter is read or not. Come, wait for Guan to set up a banquet and have a good gathering with Mr. Chen. Guan Yu heard Chen Zhen speak honestly and smoothly, and couldn't help but have a good impression of Chen Zhen.

"In this way, Chen can't ask for it, Ha Lu Ha ......" Chen Zhen really responded boldly.

The General's Mansion has its own subordinates sent by Cao Cao, and Guan Yu is not polite, he wants what he should want, and he does not shirk Cao Cao's arrangements. Therefore, after a while, someone set up a banquet.

Guan Yu and Chen Zhen really had a sense of familiarity at first sight, and they had three rounds of wine and had a good conversation. (To be continued......)
