Chapter 925: Guan Yu is captured
Just caring about guarding against Xiahoudun, he didn't notice that more than a dozen Cao Jun pounced behind him, Guan Yu only felt that something was behind him, and then a powerful force dragged him off the horse.
Turning over and falling off the horse's back, Guan Yu hurriedly reached out to pull the big net covering him.
The net was made of hemp rope, and it was very strong, and even though he had great strength, it was impossible for him to tear it apart at once.
As soon as he tore the big net twice, more than a dozen sharp spear tips pointed at Guan Yu's face.
The sharp tip of the spear was pointed at with a cold chill, and Guan Yu glared angrily at Xiahoudun who rode to his side, his face full of resentment.
Xiahoudun didn't care whether Guan Yu was indignant or not, seeing that he was caught in a big net, he grinned and said: "I have heard that Guan Yun has grown up for a long time, and I will see it today, but Er'er." ”
was ridiculed by Xiahoudun, Guan Yu twisted his face to the side, and didn't want to look at Xiahoudun more.
"Tie it up, send it back to Xudu!" With a sneering smile on his face, Xiahoudun gave an order to the soldiers who pointed at Guan Yu with the tip of his spear.
After getting Xiahoudun's orders, the soldiers did not dare to pull Guan Yu out of the net directly, so they first turned him over and pressed him to the ground, and tied his hands across the king, and then tore open the net for him.
The news of Guan Yu's capture soon spread to Xuzhou, and when he learned that Guan Yu was captured by Cao Jun, Liu Bei's already white face became more and more miserable, and he sat down on the straw mat in the house.
Zhang Fei, who was standing next to Liu Bei, had a black face that had already trembled with anger.
Seeing that Liu Bei was paralyzed on the straw mat and did not speak, Zhang Fei shouted in a thick voice: "Big brother, the second brother was captured by Xiahou Dun, could it be that you want to watch the second brother being sent to Xudu?" ”
Looking up at Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's face was full of helplessness, and he sighed heavily but did not speak.
Looking at Liu Bei, seeing that he still didn't speak, Zhang Fei let out a heavy "sigh", turned around and walked towards the door of the front hall.
"Third brother, where do you want to go?" As soon as Zhang Fei was about to leave the front hall, Liu Bei hurriedly stood up and asked him.
Looking back at Liu Bei, Zhang Fei frowned, and said angrily: "The eldest brother doesn't save the second brother, but I can't help it." I'll go and order the soldiers and horses and snatch the second brother back from Xiahoudun's hands! ”
"Third brother!" Zhang Fei was talking, turned around and was about to leave, Liu Bei hurriedly ran to the door to catch up with him, grabbed him and said, "I can't go!" ”
"Why can't you go?" Turning his head and glaring at Liu Bei, Zhang Fei's tone became more and more indignant: "Big brother, didn't you forget the friendship of Taoyuan that day?" ”
"Xiahoudun has a large number of soldiers and horses, and he came prepared, the second brother still fell for his tricks, if the third brother goes, he will definitely go and never return!" Pulling Zhang Fei, Liu Bei said to him anxiously: "Third brother, hold back your temperament, I'll take care of the long term!" ”
"Think long! Think long! Liu Bei said that he wanted to think about the long term, Zhang Fei shook off his arm angrily, and said with annoyance: "The eldest brother is so long-term, I'm afraid that the second brother's head has been cut off by Xiahou Dun!" ”
Zhang Fei became angry, and Liu Bei couldn't say anything, just sighed, and he shouted.
The news not only reached Xuzhou, but even Liu Wei in Luoyang got the news that Guan Yu was captured by Xiahoudun a few days later and had been secretly sent to Xudu.
After getting the news, Liu Wei was speechless for a long time.
He found a fact that made it difficult for him to accept, although there is such a force under his command in this world, the situation in the world has not completely changed the trajectory because of his appearance, and many things are still developing along the track they should have.
If things continue to develop according to this trajectory, Yuan Shao will go south, I am afraid that there will be more evil and less luck.
Frowning slightly, lying on the leisurely chair in the flower pavilion, Liu Wei's expression was solemn.
Beside him, stood Wang Liu and Wang Zhen.
Since Liu Wei got the news of Guan Yu's capture, he has never spoken, and Wang Liu and Wang Zhen naturally will not open their mouths at will and disrupt his train of thought.
"Your Highness!" Just as he was twisting his eyebrows and thinking about what the connection between Guan Yu's capture and the upcoming battle of Guandu was, a guard quickly ran to the flower pavilion, clenched his fists and bowed down and said: "There is news from the Hetao, the king of Wuhuan led the army, has entered the Hetao, and is uniting with the Xiongnu and the king of Guli and the Liaodong army to launch a general attack on Qubei!" ”
"Where is the messenger?" The guard's report interrupted Liu Wei's train of thought, and he sat up straight and asked the guard.
"It's already down to rest!" Maintaining a fist-hugging and bowing posture, the guard answered.
"Let the messenger come to the king!" Waving his hand at the guard, Liu Wei commanded.
"No!" The guard clenched his fists and took two steps back before turning and running all the way to the front yard.
The battle report was sent back from the front, and the messenger had never met with Liu Bian, and Liu Bian proposed to summon the messenger, because he wanted to have an overall understanding of the Hetao battlefield.
The guards did not dare to delay Liu Wei's important matter, and after leaving the flower pavilion, they did not linger for a moment to find the messenger.
The messenger returning from the Hetao was a dragoon officer, and after conveying the situation of the battle in the Hetao, the dragoon officer had just returned to his residence, and had just put on the dragoon's armor, and was trying to find some feeling of wearing this armor when there was a knock on the door.
The dragoon guards have always been engaged in some latent tasks, and the armor of the dragoon guards is the most ostentatious in the sequence of the Luoyang army.
The golden helmet and feathers, and the red battle suit and armor are not suitable for performing hidden tasks.
It is for this reason that whenever the Dragoon Guards have no task, the soldiers like to wear this armor that shows their identity.
He never dared to think that Liu Wei would summon his dragoon guard, and after receiving the order, his face was full of astonishment.
Before the establishment of the palace guards, the dragoon guards and Yulin guards were the forces responsible for guarding the palace, and this officer followed Liu Wei and assumed the responsibility of protecting him.
But a long time has passed, and now Liu Wei is no longer the king of Luoyang who personally led them to fight in the north and south, but the king of Qin, who sits on the great Qin rivers and mountains, and is likely to re-ascend the throne in the future and be the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bian's summoning had long been a supreme honor for the Dragoon Guards, and although he knew that he had been summoned, it was just that Liu Bian wanted to ask him for some details about the battle in the Hetao, but he still inevitably felt some excitement in his heart that he couldn't hide.
Under the guidance of the palace guards, the dragoon guard officers entered the palace back garden.
After a few years, the layout of the back garden of the palace has changed a lot, and after entering the back garden, the dragoon officers can't help but compare the scene of the back garden when they were on duty in the palace and now.
In contrast, he found that today's Qin Wangfu is a little more ambitious than the emperor's family back then, although Liu Wei has not yet been called the emperor, but the scene of the emperor is becoming clearer and clearer.
The guards who had reported to Liu Bian earlier led the dragoon guard officers all the way towards the flower pavilion.
Liu Wei asked him to summon the messenger, and he already had a stick of incense, and the palace guards didn't dare to let Liu Wei wait too long.
Leading the dragoon guard officer to the Flower Pavilion, the palace guards saw Liu Wei lying on the free chair in the Flower Pavilion, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
Seeing this scene, the palace guards did not dare to present to Liu Wei immediately, and after stopping with the dragoon guard officer, he looked up at Wang Liu and Wang Zhen who were standing behind Liu Wei, and asked with a face.
"Since you're here, why don't you present it?" Wang Liu and Wang Zhen just gave the guard a look and told him that Liu Wei was not asleep, and Liu Wei who was lying on the leisure chair had already opened his eyes, and asked in a very flat tone.
"Your Highness, the messenger has already received it!" Liu Wei opened his mouth to speak, and the palace guards no longer had any scruples, and hurriedly hugged their fists to report.
"Talk back!" Slowly sitting up straight, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the dragoon officer standing outside the flower pavilion, and greeted.
The dragoon guard officer stepped forward, clenched his fists and bowed in response, and then maintained the posture of clenching his hands into fists and went up to the flower pavilion.
Seeing the dragoon guard officer ascend to the flower pavilion, the palace guard who led him here retreated, and the dragoon guard officer stopped two or three steps away from Liu Wei.
"How's the battle going in the Loop?" Sitting upright on the leisure chair, Liu Wei looked at the dragoon guard officer and asked him, "How long will it take to send the head of the humble man to this king?" ”
"Your Royal Highness, since the Gongsun Kang brothers and sisters led the Liaodong Army into the Hetao, the war has been stable!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the dragoon guard officer did not dare to raise his head to look at Liu Wei, but said with a very respectful expression: "A few days ago, the Wuhuan King Bandun personally led the 200,000 Wuhuan army to the Hetao, and it has been defeated again and again, and the day when the royal court is broken is just around the corner!" ”
"What about the Dragoons' casualties?" After listening to the presentation of the dragoon guard, Liu Wei lowered his eyelids, first asked softly, and then said as if talking to himself: "The dragoon guard is the king's humerus, and it is one of the capitals that the king is proud of before the world's heroes. ”
In the latter half of the sentence, Liu Wei didn't seem to be saying it to the dragoon guard, but the words were unusually warm in the ears of the officer.
Knowing that Liu Bianji was hanging the dragoon guard, the officer's heart was moved, and his eyes were also filled with crystal tears, holding his fists, bowing his body deeply, and choking and saying to Liu Bian: "Thank you for Your Highness's concern, I am very afraid of the dragoon guards!" We are willing to go to the soup for His Highness, even if we are crushed, we will not hesitate! ”
"Come here and show the king!" Sitting on the leisure chair, Liu Wei stretched out a hand to the dragoon officer, meaning to ask him to hand him his arm to see.
Raising his head and looking at Liu Wei in amazement, the dragoon guard officer did not react for a while, until Liu Wei nodded to him again, he hurriedly bowed and handed an arm to Liu Wei.
