Guan Yu didn't know what was happening in Qin Yi's house today, he only thought that Liu Bei was worried that he would be obsessed with Du Xiuniang's beauty, and he would lose his will, so he wanted to say a family thing for him to distract him. Liu Bei has always treated him closer than his own brother, and he also respects Liu Bei very much, and he will not think of other levels at all.

Since Liu Bei had already said so, how could Guan Yu dare to brush Liu Bei's kindness. And in order to reassure this respectable eldest brother, despite the reluctance in his heart, Guan Yu still showed a grateful look, and said, "But it's up to the eldest brother to decide." ”

Liu Bei knew his sworn brother too well, and he didn't believe that he would agree so quickly, and continued: "Second brother, you don't want to ask, which girl is it for your brother?" ”

Guan Yu didn't have much interest in Liu Bei's kissing for him, so he said without thinking: "With the eldest brother in charge, what is the younger brother worried about." ”

"This is my good brother!" Liu Bei said with a smile, "Second brother, what I am talking about is the beloved daughter of General Cao Bao, who is twenty-eight years old and has a beautiful appearance, which is a good match for virtuous introduction." ”

Some time ago, Cao Bao wanted to dedicate his daughter to Liu Bei, Guan Yu was naturally clear, and now when he heard that Liu Bei was going to tell him about this family matter, it was actually Cao Bao's daughter, so he couldn't help but be taken aback, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Big brother, this matter must not be!" ”

Liu Bei said strangely: "Why not?" ”

Guan Yu hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Back to the eldest brother, in the heart of the younger brother, this daughter is no different from the eldest sister-in-law. ”

Liu Bei laughed loudly and said, "Brother Xian, you are too worried. The reason why Brother Wei refused Cao Bao that day was actually to say this family matter for Brother Xian. ”

Guan Yu didn't expect Liu Bei to worry about himself all the time, and he was moved, and even thanked him, so he responded to this family business, but who knew that this was just an excuse that Liu Bei temporarily remembered, otherwise why did Liu Bei wait until today to mention this matter.

Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu agreed to this family business, but he did not completely put his mind at ease. He knew that although Guan Yu was the most affectionate, if he learned that he had deceived him in this matter, he would inevitably turn against him, so he couldn't let Guan Yu know about the matter between himself and Du Xiuniang no matter what.

However, Liu Bei also knew that he had been too close to Guan Yu in the past, eating at the same table, sleeping at the same table, and entering and exiting in pairs, which was closer than that between husband and wife, unless he didn't go to Du Xiuniang in the future, Guan Yu would know about this matter sooner or later. However, after today's scene, Liu Bei knew that he could no longer let go of Du Xiuniang, not only would he continue to pester Du Xiuniang in the future, but also think of a perfect plan to let her and himself be a long-term husband and wife. In this way, if you want to hide Guan Yu, you can only support Guan Yu from afar.

On the way home, Liu Bei had been thinking about it, and now he saw that Guan Yu was not very interested in the family business he had told him, although he was full of promise, but it was more out of gratitude, and he couldn't help but strengthen his determination to transfer Guan Yu away.

Liu Bei took a step forward, held Guan Yu's hands hard, and said solemnly: "Brother Xian, although you and I are not brothers, but we have been together for so many years, and we have long been better than brothers, and I am really reluctant to part with you as a brother!" ”

Guan Yu was naturally moved again, and said repeatedly: "Don't worry, eldest brother, even if the younger brother gets married, he will be with the eldest brother every day." ”

Since Liu Bei has been able to ignore the beautiful concubine in the room for so many years, and stay with his little brother all day long, Guan Yu believes that he can also be able not to be fascinated by women, and continue to revolve around this big brother all day long.

How did Guan Yu know, but his words startled Liu Bei, if Guan Yu stayed with Liu Bei all day, where would Liu Bei have the opportunity to find Du Xiuniang to be happy?

Liu Bei had to smile bitterly: "Brother Xian, where do you want to go." Being a brother is an important thing that needs to be handed over to you to complete, but in this way, not only the virtuous brother may be in danger, but also it is difficult for you and my brother to see each other for a long time, which is really embarrassing for the brother! ”

Guan Yu's expression became solemn, and he arched his hand and said: "Although the eldest brother commands, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, the younger brother will not give up!" ”

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Brother Xian, Guangling is empty, and there is no one to guard it, so there will be many thieves and bandits." Thinking about it for the brother, except for the virtuous brother, no one in Xuzhou can take on this important responsibility, but ......"

Guan Yu clenched his fists and said, "Needless to say, the younger brother will leave for Guangling tomorrow morning, ensuring that the eldest brother will have no worries!" ”

Liu Bei didn't do this entirely to separate Guan Yu, he also wanted to restore order in Guangling. Although Guangling and the counties under its jurisdiction have been damaged by Zhenrong to varying degrees, and many people have crossed the river to the south, it is inevitable that some people will be nostalgic for their homeland and refuse to stay away. There are also some people who have not suffered deeply, or have hidden some grain enough to survive until next summer's harvest, and these people will not stay away. Therefore, as long as it is properly managed, in a few years, Guangling will gradually prosper, and it is also a good foundation for Liu Bei, who lacks territory.

Of course, this matter can be left to others to do, Liu Bei's subordinates except Guan Yu, although there are no outstanding generals, but like Chen Qi, Chen Deng father and son, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others, are all masters who are good at handling government affairs. In a short period of time, there would be no war in Guangling, and no prince would be interested in the land that had just been poisoned.

Liu Bei sent Guan Yu out at this time, and the main purpose was to let Guan Yu leave his side temporarily, so that he could have the opportunity to go to Du Xiuniang. As long as it is Liu Bei's order, Guan Yu will carry it out unconditionally, who would have thought that there are so many twists and turns.

In the early morning of the next day, Guan Yu picked up 10,000 soldiers and horses, left the south gate of Xuzhou, and headed for Guangling. He didn't know that the benevolent and righteous eldest brother who was still seeing him off outside the city gate just now was rushing straight to the north of Xuzhou City at this moment......

Outside the south gate of Xiangyang City, Liu Xin was also personally sending a few people away, that is, Mi Zhu, Yu Tuo, Gan Ning and others who were invited by Liu Xin and specially rushed back from Wu County to participate in the celebration banquet.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were not here, they invariably declined Liu Xin's invitation and remained in Wu County. These two are celebrities from Xuzhou, quite wealthy, even if they move to Jiangnan, there is no need to worry about life. However, in the past few days, they have not been busy buying industries, but continue to help settle the fleeing people in the refugee camps, after all, there are indeed too many things to do for millions of refugees from Jiangbei at once.

Zang Ba and Xu Sheng accepted this invitation without hesitation, they were not as reserved about their identities as Erzhang, especially Xu Sheng, who wanted to use this opportunity to seek a career. Liu Xin naturally wanted to satisfy the wishes of the two of them and let Xu Sheng serve as a lieutenant in the navy, because Zhang Liao had some contacts with Zang Ba when he was in Xuzhou and were familiar with each other, and Liu Xin assigned him to the Fourth Army.

Although Erzhang was unwilling to come to Xiangyang, there was an unexpected face in the group of people Liu Xin said goodbye to today, and that was Tai Shici.

After Tai Shici was captured by Gan Ning, he was a hundred unconvinced, thinking that he had lost unjustly, and clamoring for a real fight with Gan Ning. If it was in the past, with Gan Ning's fiery temper, maybe he would really be superior to him. However, Gan Ning has experienced the lesson of being suspended and waiting to participate, and has become much more cautious, ignoring Tai Shici's clamor at all. However, Gan Ning still admired Tai Shici's courage to dare to block the naval fleet alone, and did not make it too difficult for him, but sent a team of soldiers to escort him to Xiangyang.

Liu Xin was surprised to hear that Gan Ning had actually captured Tai Shici and escorted him to Xiangyang. Liu Xin, who came from later generations, knew that Tai Shi Ci was a human being, and without thinking, he took him as the object of his subjugation, hurriedly greeted him, personally untied the ropes on his body, and took off the brocade robe and draped on his body.

However, Tai Shici did not appreciate Liu Xin's kindness, and raised his hand to shine on Liu Xin is a punch. He was willing to submit to Sun Ce in history, entirely because the two of them had just gone through a big war, and they were quite a bit of a taste of not knowing each other and sympathizing with each other. And now, Tai Shici was already unconvinced by his mistake, and where was he willing to put Liu Xin, a polite "little white face", in his eyes, and was about to use him to make a knife and wash away the sulkness in his heart.

It's a pity that Tai Shici underestimated Liu Xin's strength, looking at the world, since Meng Jie's death, no one can be Liu Xin's opponent when it comes to fist and foot kung fu. Tai Shi Ci used his strength to eat milk, and Liu Xin was so tidy that he dissolved his tricks lightly.

Tai Shi Ci is not a bad person, and after a few hands, he knew that the gap between himself and Liu Xin was too big, Liu Xin didn't give his full strength at all, so he simply stopped and said, "Don't fight, I'm not your opponent." ”

Liu Xin laughed and said, "Donglai Taishi Ci is really different. ”

Tai Shici asked in surprise, "How do you know that I am from Donglai?" ”

Since he was captured, he only said his name and didn't say much else, and he was just a little-known lieutenant in Liu Xian's army, Zhang Ying and Xue Li had never taken him seriously, so he really couldn't figure out why Liu Xin knew him very well.

Sure enough, Liu Xin continued: "Not only do I know that you are from Donglai, but I also know that you are a hero, and you are a rare talent. How is it, are you interested in helping Liu? ”

Tai Shici knew that he was not Liu Xin's opponent. He was not taken seriously under Liu Xuan's account, and when he arrived here, although he was a prisoner, Liu Xin treated him very kindly, and at this time, there was no reason not to agree, so he hurriedly turned over and bowed down. Therefore, when Mi Zhu, Yu Tuo, and Gan Ning came to Xiangyang, there was one more person at the celebration banquet.

Because there are millions of refugees waiting to be resettled in the south of the Yangtze River, Mi Zhu and others are inconvenient to stay for a long time, the next morning after the celebration banquet, Liu Xin saw them off until they were outside the city gate, and then said goodbye: "It's a pity that the two Mr. Zhang have not been able to come here, which makes Liu regretful." ”

Tai Shi Ci laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, my lord, when I return to Wu County and tell them about the celebration banquet, they will definitely regret it." ”
