Nan Ye saw that Guan Yu and Sun Qian had different opinions, one wanted to leave quietly without Cao Cao, and the other wanted to say goodbye openly. So he said on the side: "This is the place in Cao Cao's heart, if Yun Chang doesn't say goodbye, there will be many obstacles at the level, and Cao Cao will definitely send troops to chase him." If Yunchang is alone, he may be able to rush all the way to Hebei with his horse and knife, but if he escorts Mrs. Gan's car, I am afraid that he will not be able to go fast. You will be trapped by the pursuers, and it will not be beautiful at that time, so it is better to quit and go again. I should protect it. ”

Sun Qian heard that what Nan Ye said was reasonable, so he said: "Since this is the case, I will ask the second general to write a reply first, and I will take the first step, so as not to wait for the lord for a long time." ”

Guan Yu then wrote a letter to reply to Liu Bei: "The eavesdropping is not up to its heart, and it is loyal to death." Yu has been reading since childhood, knows etiquette and righteousness, and watched the things of the sheep's horns and Zuo Botao, and did not sigh and cry. Before guarding Xiapi, there was no accumulation of millet inside, and there were no reinforcements outside. If you want to serve your life, why is your sister-in-law still alive, and she doesn't dare to cut off her head and donate her body, so she is entrusted by her brother. At that time, the mage came to persuade me and allowed me to do three things, so I temporarily surrendered to Han in order to meet again. Today, Gongyou came, and he knew that his brother believed. That is, he resigned from Cao Gong in person and returned to Hebei with his sister-in-law. Yu Dan has different hearts, and gods and men kill together. It is difficult to be poor. There is a period of worship, and there is only a lesson to be learned. ”

Sun Gan got the letter, said goodbye, and replied first. Nan Ye instructed Hua Tuo Guan Yu to let the two of them go back and prepare separately. When Hua Tuo returned to the house, he said that he was going out of the city to diagnose a patient, and he took the lead out of the city with a medicine box. Guan Yu went back to the house to see Mrs. Gan and informed Liu Bei of his location.

Mrs. Gan was overjoyed when she heard Liu Bei's whereabouts, so she urged Guan Yu to go quickly. Guan Yu said: "Sister-in-law, pack up first, and wait until Cao Gong resigns tomorrow." ”

The next day, Guan Yu and Nan Ye came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao knew that someone visited Guan Yu yesterday, and Mrs. Gan packed her bags again, so she guessed Guan Yu's intention, and hung a sign on the door, but the two of them were missing.

Guan Yu didn't see Cao Cao sullen, but Nan Ye didn't care, and persuaded Guan Yu: "Yun Chang doesn't have to be anxious, I'll come back tomorrow." ”

The two returned to the house, and Guan Yu ordered people to pack up the carriages and horses and serve them in the morning and evening. Ordered everyone in the house to leave all the things that Cao Cao had rewarded, and nothing to take with them. Nan Ye said to the house: "Yun Chang already knows Liu Xuande's whereabouts and wants to go to the same place, at that time, I promised Yun Chang three things for the guarantor, and now I should send Yun Chang a ride, so as not to lose his trust, you are ready to escort me with you." ”

Except for the twenty guards in Nanye's mansion, Cao Cao's eyeliner was all Cao Cao's eyeliner, and Cao Cao got the news in the evening, and he confirmed that Guan Yu was leaving. So the next day, Nan Ye and Guan Yu went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to resign, and the avoidance sign was hung at the head of the door. Cao Cao still avoided it, because he didn't want to let Guan Yu go.

Guan Yu didn't see Cao Cao twice in a row, so he asked Nan Ye: "Cao Cheng avoided it, because he didn't allow me to go, so what can I do?" ”

Nan Ye said: "It's not more than three, I'll come back tomorrow, if Meng De is still gone, then it's not your fault and mine, I'll wait and do it." ”

The next day, the two came again, but Cao Cao was still gone. So Guan Yu returned to the house and left a letter saying: "Uncle Yu Shaoshi, swear to live and die together." The emperor and the queen of heaven are all witnesses. The former was lost, and the three things invited have been promised by the prime minister. Now that I know that the old lord is now in Hebei, thinking back to the alliance of the past, how can I go against it? Although the new grace is thick, the old righteousness is unforgettable. Special letter to say goodbye, Fu Wei to observe. There is still a surplus of grace that has not been repaid, and I am willing to return it on a different day. ”

Guan Yu wrote the letter and sealed it and sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to deliver it. He also put the gold and silver he received in the past one by one in the warehouse, hung the Hanshou Pavilion Hou on the hall, and asked Mrs. Gan to get into the car. Guan Yu rode on the claw Huang Feidian, carried the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, led more than 20 people from the old entourage, and escorted the car out of the mansion.

Nan Ye was already waiting outside the mansion at this time, and in addition to the twenty guards behind him, Cao Cao arranged for the thirty armor soldiers to guard the mansion to also bring it with him, just in case Cao Cao was suspicious. Nan Ye and Guan Yu joined forces with more than 70 people and walked out of the north gate.

When the city gatekeeper saw Guan Yu coming first, he was about to stop him, but he saw that the people on the road saluted one after another, calling him the national teacher. When the doorman saw Guan Yu following Nan Ye, where did he dare to stop him again? Retreat from all.

Guan Yu saw that Nan Ye's escort was really useful, so he said to Nan Ye: "The mage escorts the car first, presumably the checkpoint will not dare to stop it." If there is a pursuer in the rear, I will do it. ”

When Nan Ye heard this, he led the men and horses in front, and Guan Yu was in charge of the back, pushing the cart from the servant, looking at the official road in the north.

But it was said that Cao Cao was gathering generals to discuss because Guan Yu was leaving, and suddenly a doorman presented Guan Yu's letter, and Cao Cao was shocked when he saw it: "Yun Chang is going!" ”

At this time, there was a report from the north gate guard: "The national teacher and General Guan and their entourage of more than 70 people went out of the city gate to the north." ”

Guan Yu and Nanye Fuzhong eyeliner also came to report at the same time: "General Guan has all the gold and silver and other things he has given, and the ten beauties live in the inner room." The seal of the Hou of Hanshou Pavilion hangs in the hall. The prime minister did not bring any of the people and servants, but only the old servants and their luggage, and went out of the north gate with the national teacher and the guards in the palace. ”

Cao Cao and the generals were stunned when they heard this, and one of them stepped forward and said: "The last general is willing to lead three thousand iron horsemen to capture Guan Yu alive and sacrifice it to the prime minister!" Everyone regarded it as General Cai Yang.

Cao Cao's generals all knew that Guan Yu's heart was towards Liu Bei, so no one had a good relationship with Guan Yu, but they all admired Guan Yu's martial arts, but Cai Yang was not convinced by Guan Yu. Cao Cao also knew that Cai Yang and Guan Yu had a gap, but he didn't want to lose his trust, so he said: "Yun Chang doesn't forget his old master, come and go, and understand, his true husband too!" You should do it. "Say goodbye to Cai Yang and don't let him catch up.

Cheng Yu saw that Cao Cao did not chase Guan Yu for the sake of face, so he said: "The lord treats Guan Yu very well, and he will not leave now, offending the prime minister, his crime is great." If it is returned to Liu Bei and Yuan Mai, it is to add wings to the tiger. It's better to chase and kill them to prevent future troubles. ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "I promised it in the past, how can I lose my trust?" Now the mage has sent it to me, because he is afraid that I will lose my trust and make it difficult for him to protect people. Yun Chang insists on leaving, don't chase after you. ”

Xun You said: "The lord doesn't want to break his trust and let Guan Yu leave, but the mage can't help but chase him." In case the mage is gone and never returns, or is used by Liu Bei, won't the lord's previous plan be in vain? ”

Cao Cao hesitated: "The mage is not wary of taking away the armor soldiers in the mansion, those armor soldiers have already obtained my secret order, if they don't return, kill them, what can be the trouble?" ”

Li Ru said: "The prime minister should not underestimate the teacher. The guards under his command are all brave warriors, and if there are thirty armor soldiers, twenty guards are enough. ”

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this: "How should this be good?" ”

Xun Yu said: "The lord can quickly order someone to chase him and stop the car, and then send him off in person." At that time, he was given a robe for the passage fee, and ordered a thousand armor soldiers to escort him, which was actually the intention of guarding the mage, and if the mage did not return, he would order the armor to behead him. No matter how strong the twenty guards are, they are no match for a thousand armor soldiers. ”

Cao Cao thought that Xun Yu's words were very good, so he asked the generals: "Who are you waiting for to escort?" ”

As soon as the words fell, one person said: "The last will be wished." ”

Everyone sees it as Zhang Xiu. Cao Cao was very relieved when he saw Zhang Xiu, because Zhang Ji died at the hands of Nan Ye, Zhang Xiu and Nan Ye had a grudge against their uncle, so they naturally would not be soft.
