Chapter 145: Forcing Guan Yu to Receive the Talisman

Let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two righteous brothers, lead the Jingzhou army to fight with the Xinhan army, which is exactly what Liu Bei could not ask for. In Liu Bei's heart, I wish that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Yi would turn against each other, so that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would not have to be obsessed with the old relationship with Liu Yi, and they would not have to be estranged from the two righteous brothers because of this matter.

In a word, if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can fight with the New Han Army, it proves that these two righteous brothers are determined to follow themselves to fight the world, and from then on, Liu Bei will no longer be wary of these two righteous brothers. You can be brothers and help yourself achieve great things wholeheartedly.

Of course, although Liu Bei agreed to Liu Biao's request, he knew that if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were so rashly appointed to lead the Jingzhou army to attack Wancheng of the New Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was worried in his heart whether these two righteous brothers would obey the order.

Therefore, after Liu Bei agreed, his face was embarrassed and he glared at Liu Biao.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are outside Liu Biao's dormitory at the moment, and in addition, there are still many people in the dormitory.

Liu Biao was not really sick, he was very sober, seeing Liu Bei like this, he knew what Liu Bei meant, he coughed twice, waved his hand to retreat the people on the left and right, and even waved his close ministers and guards back.

Liu Biao pretended to be very tired, and said weakly: "Brother Xuande, you ...... Do you have any concerns? You, don't worry, after a while, I will hand over to you my Jingzhou Army Tiger Talisman and the documents and seals I wrote to let him act as an agent for Jingzhou affairs, I believe that with these. In Jingzhou, no one dares not to obey Xuande's orders. ”

"Uh, brother. Bei is not worried about these things, but refers to ......" Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether he should let Liu Biao know that he and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two righteous brothers, had different ideas, but he thought about it and decided to say it anyway, because if he wanted to make Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Yi turn against each other, he had to cooperate with Liu Biao to do it. Otherwise, once the order was issued, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei refused to obey the order. If you force them too hard, once these two righteous brothers play the same game as before, saying that they want to leave here and go elsewhere, will he Liu Bei also follow? Walk. We have to give up the hard-won good times. If he didn't leave, he would lose the help of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two generals, and it would be really hard for him to believe that he would have anything to do.

Therefore, Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "Jingsheng, there is a matter, it is really difficult to explain it, but since Jingsheng, you trust me Liu Bei so much." Now, then, it's okay for me to sue you. ”

"Huh? What's the matter? Liu Biao really asked in surprise.

"Alas. It's a long story. Jingsheng, I think, you should also know in your heart that the New Han Army is menacing and difficult to resist, especially Liu Yi and all the generals under his account, all of them have invincible bravery, and if they want to fight with them, or if they want to ensure that our army is invincible, I am afraid that only the two righteous brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who rely on the preparation, only the two of them can fight with Liu Yi and his generals. ”

"Well, that's right, I invite you to come to Xuande, first, I like Xuande's talent, only Xuande you have the courage to dare to fight with the Xinhan army, and only Xuande can make my Jingzhou military and civilians feel at ease. The second is that I also saw that Xuande's two righteous brothers bravely crowned the three armies, which were enough to match Liu Yi. At this critical moment, if there is no talented person sitting in Jingzhou, then Jingzhou will inevitably fall into the hands of Liu Yi. Therefore, Jingzhou is a qiē affair, please take care of Xuande. Liu Biao said a little sincerely.

"Well, Jingsheng, you...... I'm afraid you think highly of me Liu Bei. However, Bei didn't want to talk to his brother about this. Liu Bei was a little embarrassed by Liu Biao's praise, and said modestly: "I won't tell you, Bei and his two righteous brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not what they see in the world. If they directly wanted to order them to lead the Jingzhou army to fight against the New Han army now, I am afraid that the two of them might not be willing to accept this order. ”

"Oh? How so? You must know that hundreds of thousands of our Jingzhou army are under their command, which is something that ordinary people can't think of. To put it mildly, ordinary people, who doesn't want to be a general when they are soldiers? And who is a general who doesn't want to be in charge of the world's soldiers and horses? And the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, could it be that they don't have a little bit of motivation? Unexpectedly, he doesn't want to be the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces that others hate? Or, do they look down on the hundreds of thousands of military horses in Jingzhou? For Liu Bei to say this, Liu Biao was really puzzled.

"Hehe......" Liu Bei shook his head with a wry smile.

"Jingsheng, you really don't know my two righteous brothers, they have always regarded money as dung and power as floating clouds. In their hearts, they care more about the word affection. Seriously, if they really wanted money and power, I'm afraid they would have left long ago. If you want Jingsheng, you should also know that when the army was defeated, he fled to Jizhou to vote for Yuan Shao, and Guan Yu was not forced to surrender Cao Cao? At that time, Cao Cao was indeed very generous to Guan Yu, money beauty, marquis status, it can be said that Cao Cao could give everything to Guan Yu, and even, if Guan Yu was willing to nod, now Guan Yu is Cao Cao's commander of the three armies. However, he was unwilling to accept the qiē given to him by Cao Cao. For the sake of it, he just didn't want to betray the love of the Taoyuan alliance with Bei. He would rather give up his status as a money, and do not hesitate to go thousands of miles to find Bei and reunite with Bei. Judging from these things, Guan Yu doesn't value those things outside his body, he only cares about affection. And the third brother Zhang Fei, his temperament is more upright and more violent, if it doesn't suit him, even if he is given an emperor, he doesn't want to do it. Liu Bei was also a little proud when he said this, because not everyone would have such a good brother who lived and died with him and didn't care about personal gains and losses. Seriously, if there were no differences with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's ideas, Liu Bei would really feel that he was lucky to have such two brothers.

"Xuande, you have such two righteous brothers with you, it really makes you envious."

Liu Biao also looked at Liu Bei with envy and jealousy, and sighed, thinking in his heart that it would be good if these two tiger generals could treat themselves like Liu Bei.

Liu Bei patted his forehead a little distressed and said, "Jingsheng doesn't know anything. It is precisely because of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei that they attach great importance to love and righteousness, but let Bei and their ideas are different, and the brothers are at odds with each other. ”

"Huh? This...... How so? Liu Biao said in surprise.

"Guan Yu, Zhang Fei. and Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty, who was once a brother who was born and died, and now Liu Yi has made a career and has always been in contact with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. My two righteous brothers, both of whom are loyal and upright people, were deceived by Liu Yi and thought that the New Han Dynasty was good. I actually wanted to persuade them to vote for the New Han Dynasty together. Well, when I was preparing for the two righteous brothers of Guan and Zhang, I married in Taoyuan. The establishment of vows to serve the country and support the Han family. If the New Han Dynasty is really the Han Dynasty, it is the real Han Dynasty. It is the words of our Liu family's children who are in charge of the court. It is indeed appropriate to serve the court with two righteous brothers. And rightfully so. However, now everyone knows, is the Young Emperor of the New Han Army in charge or is he Liu Yi in charge? What is the difference between the current New Han Dynasty and the court controlled by Dong Zhuo at the beginning? What is the difference with the current Xudu court controlled by Cao Cao? Whether it is the New Han Dynasty, the original court held by Dong Zhuo, or the current court of Cao Cao, they are all next to the imperial power of our Han family, and the power of the court is controlled by traitors. So. How can you be willing to vote for the New Han Dynasty? How can you watch Liu Yi usurp the Han Dynasty? Liu Bei said with a look of righteous indignation: "For Liu Yi, Bei knows best." Where is he a member of the Han family? I don't know where the wild species came from, I can't say if his surname is Liu or not, because he wants to get the country of our Han Liu family? Brother, can you say yes? At least, I Liu Bei will not agree, if you change your brother, you will sit on the Han Dynasty, and you will definitely support it, after all, we are the same clan, and we are the descendants of the Han family with well-founded foundations, do you say? ”

Liu Bei said, and slapped Liu Biao at the right time, implying that he was willing to serve Liu Biao. Of course, this is just to reassure Liu Biao's heart, so that Liu Biao does not doubt what his intentions will be when he comes to take over the acting Jingzhou power from Liu Biao this time.

"Yes, why don't you see this as a brother, so even if I, Liu Biao, am broken to pieces, I have to resist Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty to the end!" Liu Biao echoed Liu Bei, and then said a little worriedly: "Then, what should I do now?" ”

"Alas, my two righteous brothers, in their hearts, I am afraid that they don't want to be enemies with Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty. Just directly appointing them as the commanders of the Jingzhou Army and leading the army to fight against the Xinhan Army, I am afraid it will not work. Liu Bei sighed, and then lowered his voice a little and said: "If you want these two righteous brothers to lead the army to fight with the New Han Army, I am afraid that they will have to use a little means, so that they have no choice, and they may lead the Jingzhou Army to fight with the New Han Army." ”

"Small means? This ......" Liu Biao lay down, turning his head to listen.

"For my two righteous brothers, if you want them to lead the army, I'm afraid you have to start with their weaknesses. Well, this should be their only weakness. Liu Bei's eyes flickered, and he said to Liu Biao: "Jingsheng, we should be the same in the matter of confronting the New Han Army and swearing not to surrender." And if you want to defeat the Xinhan army, you must have my second and third brothers to lead the army. Therefore, I would like to ...... like this."

"Oh?"

"So and so ......"

……

Liu Bei conspired with Liu Biao, who pretended to be dying at any time. After that, Liu Biao ordered someone to come in and took Liu Bei to an official post station in Xiangyang City to rest.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two generals, naturally followed each other left and right, and went to Sao Station with Liu Bei.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei naturally didn't know what Liu Bei and Liu Biaomi talked about. However, after Liu Bei saw Liu Biao come out, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei seemed to notice that this brother seemed to be a little worried about Zhong Zhong and absent-minded.

However, after arriving at the post station, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel that something was wrong after seeing the environment of the post station. Because, the environment of the post station is too poor, and it is estimated that it is usually used to receive some of the lowest-level officials who come to Xiangyang to work. Where does this seem to be arranged for the residence of the big man who is about to act as the power of Jingzhou? Guan Yu and Zhang Fei felt in their hearts that if Liu Biao invited their eldest brother Liu Bei to Xiangyang in order to let Liu Bei sit in charge of the overall situation in Jingzhou, then it would not be too much to give Liu Bei a mansion, and now Liu Bei will be settled in this small and dirty post station, what is the matter?

Zhang Fei was naturally blind, and he had a violent temperament, so he was about to go to Liu Biao to ask for an explanation.

However, Liu Bei grabbed Zhang Fei with a complicated expression.

"Big brother. Liu Biao's birdman, when he came to Xiangyang today, he was fine, a military minister of Jingzhou. They all came out of the city to meet us, but now they dare to despise you, big brother? How dare you give us such a kennel-like place? Zhang Fei shouted.

"Third brother!" Liu Bei feigned anger and shouted.

"Don't talk nonsense. To tell you the truth, you and the second brother, when we first came, they planned to let the brother temporarily preside over the overall situation of Jingzhou on behalf of Liu Biao, and there is something worthy of their reliance, so. That's why they're so kind to us. However, after meeting Liu Biao, he refused to temporarily preside over the overall situation of Jingzhou on behalf of Liu Biao. So. Naturally, they won't be too polite to us anymore. Well, don't make too much trouble, tomorrow morning, we will leave Xiangyang. Let's go back to our new no castle. ”

"Huh? Big brother, you said you refused? W-Why is this? Since Liu Biao wants to give up Jingzhou to your eldest brother. Why don't you go next? Zhang Fei was really a little anxious.

Zhang Fei and his second brother Guan Yu had an agreement in private, that is, to win a place for Liu Bei to stay, and then depending on the situation, they were ready to leave Liu Bei and join the New Han Dynasty. Now, if Liu Bei can get Jingzhou from Liu Biao, it means that Liu Bei has a foothold, and they can leave Liu Bei with peace of mind.

So. Now that Liu Bei actually refused to temporarily replace Liu Biao in Jingzhou, he was naturally a little anxious.

"Third brother. You're still in too much of a hurry. Alas, don't say it. ”

"Big brother, is there something difficult? Please speak up, and let's discuss it together. Guan Yu said at this time, he could see that Liu Bei seemed to have something to say, but he hadn't guessed what Liu Bei wanted for a while.

"Humph! Liu Biao's wishful thinking! Liu Bei seemed to be a little annoyed and said: "It is not false that he wants Liu to temporarily preside over the military and political power of Jingzhou on his behalf, but he wants to let the second brother and third brother leave the eldest brother, and let you lead the Jingzhou army to attack Wancheng." Hehe, ridiculous! Let's not talk about the second brother and third brother, if you leave the eldest brother and go to the front line, will they still be able to let Bei preside over the overall situation of Jingzhou, let's just say that the second brother and the third brother, I am afraid that you don't want to lead the army to attack Liu Yi, right? Therefore, this matter is naturally not easy to talk about. ”

"Oh?" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, and seemed to think that this eldest brother was finally willing to consider our brother?

"Well, the second brother, the third brother, we voted for Liu Biao and stayed in his Xinye City, this is just a temporary borrowing, if it is Cao Cao, we can fight for him, but if we want to fight with Liu Yi, I am not willing to do it. In the final analysis, Bei is ashamed of Liu Yi, how can he fight with him again? Liu Bei seemed to be revealing his true feelings.

"It's good that the eldest brother can think like this, to be honest, we and Liu Yi are also brothers, how can brothers kill each other? If Jingzhou is really the eldest brother, I believe that Liu Yi will never send troops to fight, and he also thinks that if Liu Biao is really willing to give Jingzhou to the eldest brother, then Guan can go to meet Liu Yi, talk to him, and let him give up attacking Jingzhou. However, it's okay now, let's go back to Xinye, it's a big deal, let's go elsewhere and lay a ground for the eldest brother. ”

Regardless of whether what Liu Bei said was true or not, Guan Yu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, no matter, we'll leave Xiangyang early tomorrow morning and go back to Xinye." Liu Bei said a little resolutely.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't doubt it for a while, so they settled down in the post station.

At the beginning, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were still a little vigilant, and they were always on the lookout for whether there would be any changes at night. But after midnight, there seemed to be no movement, and the two generals rested one after another.

It's almost dawn.

However, a fire suddenly broke out at the post station, followed by shouts of killing.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were sleeping in their clothes, woke up with a startled start, picked up their weapons respectively, and rushed out of their respective rooms.

However, when the two of them rushed out of the room and rushed to the courtyard in the middle of the inn, they were shocked to find that the surrounding flames were surging, and under the firelight, they were already surrounded by archers.

Several pro-soldiers who were also awakened wanted to run over to protect Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but they were killed by a burst of random arrows.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't understand what was going on for a while, and when they saw their own people being killed, although they were furious, they didn't dare to move lightly for a while, surrounded by dense archers all around, and they really didn't have much confidence that they could break out of the encirclement for a while.

Guan Yu was about to shout, but saw Liu Bei, who was tied up by five flowers, pushed out and put a knife on his neck.

"Big brother!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that their eyes were split, and they shouted together.

"Haha!"

At this time, a strategist came out of the crowd, stood beside Liu Bei, and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "General Guan, General Zhang, in Xia Kuaiyue, be polite." ”

"No more nonsense! Let my big brother go! Zhang Fei glared impatiently.

"Come on, please give out our Jingzhou military talisman, please General Guan accept it!" Kuai Yue shouted with a determined face.

After a while, a soldier holding a tray ran out from the side, ran to Guan Yu and knelt down in front of him.

"Humph! Mr. Kuai, what do you mean by that? Guan Yu didn't answer, but just said coldly.

"General Guan, don't get me wrong, Kuai is like this, it's really out of reluctance, is General Guan willing to listen to Kuai's words?" Kuai Yue put his hands behind his back and walked forward a little further.

Guan Yu didn't answer, just stared at Kuai Yue with a suspicious expression. (To be continued......)
