Chapter 372: Candlelight Night Talk

After a not-so-lively reception banquet, Guan Yu was arranged by Ao Lie to rest in the same room as Zhang Fei, Ao Lie knew that Guan Yu must have a lot to say to Zhang Fei, just like Ao Lie himself and Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and them, if he can't see these people for a long time, Ao Lie's heart will definitely miss them very much, so he can understand Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's mood at the moment, and is very understanding to let them get together tonight, although in the eyes of most people, Guan Yu is Liu Bei's general, And Zhang Fei is already the general of Yan Kingdom, and the camps of the two are not the same, but Ao Lie doesn't care about this.

Night fell. The night sky, as dark as ink, was sparsely dotted with a few stars, exuding a dim light. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sat opposite each other, each had too many words to confide in each other, but they didn't know what Lu Dao was about, the two never spoke, just looked at each other quietly, it seemed that there was suddenly a gap between the two brothers, preventing them from pouring out what they wanted to say in their hearts.

Bang bang –

A few slight knocks broke the silence between the two brothers, and Pang Tong's voice sounded outside the door: "General Guan, Yide, you must not have rested, right?" ”

Zhang Fei stood up, walked over and opened the door, and saw Pang Tong standing outside the room with a food box. Entering the room through the gap opened by Zhang Fei, Pang Tong put the food box in his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "I see that the two of you brothers drank wine during the dinner, and basically didn't eat anything, I was afraid that you would be hungry in the middle of the night, so I will send some food." ”

Indeed, at the banquet just now, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not in a good mood, and they had the meaning of borrowing wine to eliminate their sorrows, but they didn't drink less, but they were even more sad when they got into wine, and these two people failed to use wine to eliminate their sorrows, but the more they drank, the more worried they became. No matter how much they drank, they couldn't get themselves drunk.

Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't mean to eat, Pang Tong smiled and said, "What? You haven't turned the corner yet? Hearing Pang Tong's words, Zhang Fei sighed, didn't speak, just lowered his head. Anyway, Zhang Fei has been completely abandoned by Liu Bei, and now Zhang Fei's identity is the general of Yan State, the general of the fighting and killing heaven, and the title of Marquis of Heng. As for Pang Tong's words, Zhang Fei's current identity is not suitable for making a statement.

Guan Yu was different, he raised his head to look at Pang Tong, and said slowly: "Military advisor, oh, Pang Xiangguo, my brother has been doing it for a lifetime, and my eldest brother has known each other for twenty years. Guan can't let go of this relationship no matter what, no matter what the eldest brother becomes, he will always be the eldest brother of so-and-so. This will never change. ”

Among the three people, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are undoubtedly the ones who have followed Liu Bei the longest, and the two are indistinguishable. It has been nearly twenty years, but the one who has contributed the most to Liu Bei's rise is none other than Pang Tong. Before getting Pang Tong. Liu Bei has been running around for more than ten years, wandering around, living a life without a fixed place, but since getting the help of Pang Tong, Liu Bei, the salted fish, turned over and crossed the dragon gate, became a dragon out of the sea, occupied the southern part of Jingzhou as the foundation, and then waved his troops westward, all according to Yizhou, in this process, Pang Tong is a great contribution, this credit, the pen of the Han Dynasty founding heroes Zhang Liang, Chen Ping is also not far behind, and finally made Liu Bei become the overlord of one side, therefore, Guan Yu is still very respectful of Pang Tong, Although the current Pang Tong is no longer Liu Bei's military advisor, but the deputy minister of Yan State. It is also for this reason that Guan Yu, who has always been arrogant, has an indescribable sense of intimacy with Pang Tong, because Guan Yu knows that without Pang Tong's help, there would be no achievements of his three brothers today, so Guan Yu has no defense against Pang Tong, and he can be said to have nothing to say.

Pang Tong didn't make any comments on Guan Yu's words, just took out the food he brought from the food box and placed it on the table in the same way. Four side dishes, two plates of dim sum, plus a pot of Zephyr spirits, after all these things were placed, Pang Tong slowly spoke: "The military heart is benevolence, a monarch, what his character is, can be seen from his management of the army. In the past, Great Qin swept through the Six Kingdoms, and the Qin army shook the world, however, when Great Qin died after only two lifetimes, what does this mean? It shows that Qin Shi Huang governed the army strictly, harshly, and violently treated his subordinates, and he could not be calm and lenient, how could the tyrannical Qin not die? This principle is also applicable today, how is the heart of the soldiers of my Yan country, how does the king of Yan govern the army, presumably General Guan also has an intuitive impression today, although the king of Yan is also strict and strict, but he attaches great importance to the cultivation of the soldiers' thoughts, so as to create an iron army that has no offense in Minqiu and has strong combat effectiveness! Dare to ask General Guan, what is the foundation of Liu Bei's management of the army? ”

Pang Tong's words, Guan Yu asked, he and Zhang Fei and Liu Bei have known each other for twenty years, but he has never found the distinctive characteristics of Liu Bei's army, but every time in a crisis, Liu Bei will leave his soldiers regardless of it, and escape with a small group of elite troops, this is already a well-known thing in the world, and now Pang Tong asked, Guan Yu immediately rushed to his face and blushed, embarrassed to speak.

Looking at Guan Yu's red, reddened face that was about to turn purple, Pang Tong smiled: "So, from a small point of view, from this point of view, Liu Bei is not a Ming Jun at all, let alone a hero, at best he is just a generation of heroes." Speaking of this, Pang Tong's face suddenly darkened, and he whispered to himself: "It's a pity that he didn't know what to do at the beginning, in order to protect the family, he ignored the agreement with Kong Ming, and insisted on joining Liu Bei's command, and as a result, he almost caused a murder. ”

Pang Tong's self-blame made Guan Yu feel that he couldn't raise his head, no matter what, Liu Bei was sorry for Pang Tong after all, Pang Tong tried his best to help his three brothers lay down the country, but the eldest brother Liu Bei treated him like this, which made Guan Yu, who had always been happy and vengeful, feel very sad, and was full of guilt and guilt for Pang Tong.

With a sigh, Pang Tong changed the topic, pointed at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and said, "Have you ever thought about it, if you two don't have this good ability, with Liu Bei's self-esteem of always claiming to be a descendant of the Han family, will you Taoyuan San be righteous?" In Liu Bei's heart, he has always been a member of the royal family, how could he have intersected with someone from a civilian background like the two of you? To put it bluntly, it's just that he took a fancy to the martial arts of the two of you, even if you are not Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, you will be replaced by two other people. As long as he has this good martial art, Liu Bei will also bow down to those two people, because if he wants to dominate the world, generals like you are indispensable. ”

Pang Tong's words were like a morning bell at dusk, striking heavily on the hearts of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Yes, one of the two of them was selling beans, and the other was killing pigs and selling wine, so it can be said that in addition to this ability, there is nothing to grow. No matter how Liu Bei declined, he was always a descendant of the royal family, why would he come to worship the two of him? The two of them had never thought about this question carefully before, but now under Pang Tong's reminder, they began to think about it seriously.

Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fell into deep thought, Pang Tong picked up the wine jug and poured three glasses of wine, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it first, Tong is not here to be a lobbyist for King Yan." Today is just to reminisce about the past. In fact, you should also know very well that King Yan will never take the initiative to send lobbyists over, otherwise he will think that it is unfair. It's like when Yide was in trouble. King Yan never said a word of solicitation from beginning to end, until ...... It wasn't until Liu Bei's letter proclaiming the world appeared that King Yan let Yide make his own choice. ”

Regarding Pang Tong's words, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were convinced. They didn't know Ao Lie for a day or two, a year or two, ten years. Ao Lie has always taken good care of them, as long as Ao Lie knows that they are in difficulty, no matter how far apart, no matter what method is used, Ao Lie will definitely help them, this feeling, how can Guan Yu and Zhang Fei easily let go?

That night, Pang Tong held a wine glass and said a lot of things to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, almost saying everything he could say, including his respective evaluations of Ao Lie and Liu Bei, as well as the time when the three of them were together under Liu Bei, and even Pang Tong also talked about some unknown things, he was repeatedly bullied when he was a child, in short, it was not until the east was white that Pang Tong left Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's room, staggered back to his mansion, and fell asleep on the bed. Ao Lie really didn't let Pang Tong persuade Guan Yu, but Pang Tong chatted with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei all night last night, just to let them understand that Liu Bei is not the master, only Ao Lie is the hero worth following. Pang Tong's idea is to persuade Guan Yu to loosen his mind at the same time, and to stabilize the established fact that Zhang Fei is already the general of Yan State, no matter what the final effect is, Pang Tong has done his best, and the rest of the things are not up to him.

Two days later, Guan Yu finally decided to leave Yanjing, return to Xiangyang, and continue to help Liu Bei defend Jingzhou, which shows that his reputation for loyalty is not in vain. However, Pang Tong's persuasion was not without the slightest effect, at least, Guan Yu agreed to let Zhang Fei stay, now Zhang Fei has fallen out with Liu Bei, since Liu Bei can ignore the brotherhood of twenty years, and ruthlessly treat Zhang Fei as an outcast, then this rift can no longer be repaired, even if Zhang Fei goes back, things will not change in any way, for the purpose of protecting Zhang Fei, Guan Yu will no longer force Zhang Fei to go back with him, but Guan Yu still hugged Zhang Fei tightly at the time of parting, It is very difficult to give up in their hearts, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both know that if they say goodbye today, if they see each other again in the future, it will only be on the battlefield, and when the time comes, they will no longer be close brothers, but opponents of their own masters.

There is no tragedy in the world more than fratricide, especially when each other still remembers each other in their hearts, it is even more cruel, but this is war, and it is an inevitable war. This kind of war will never stop until the world is decided. At the moment of parting, Guan Yu's heart suddenly appeared a kind of enlightenment, he instantly understood Ao Lie's concept of fighting for the people of the world and the people of Yan State, only when this kind of pain of separation came to him, people would know that the war was so cruel. Only by ending the war with war and ending this troubled dispute for all the people in the world will this tragedy of sibling separation disappear completely. (To be continued......)
