Chapter 272: Brother Quarrel Candle Shadow Cries

Liu Bei's anger was not because Guan Yu resisted his will.

Brothers don't talk about this among themselves.

Liu Bei was angry that Guan Yu's shaking of his head meant that he did not cherish his body.

The younger brother is not in a hurry, he is in a hurry to kill his brother, what he is talking about is Liu Bei's mentality now.

After Guan Yu shook his head, Liu Bei originally wanted to reprimand Guan Yu with a straight face.

But at this time, Guan Yu took the initiative to ask Liu Bei, "What my brother said just now is it a holy decree issued as the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, or is it an advice expressed as Yu's brother?"

Liu Bei, who was still angry, began to soften when he heard Guan Yu call him brother.

Guan Yu's brother touched the softest place in his heart.

Since he entered Shu, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have been divided into two towns, and he hasn't heard this brother who he could hear every day for a long time.

Elderly people miss the old the most, not to mention that the relationship between Liu Bei and Guan Yu is different?

After his face softened, Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and asked, "How about being the Son of Heaven, and what about being the elder brother?"

At this time, Liu Bei's tone was no longer so eager.

Liu Bei's reaction was seen by Guan Yu, and in the face of Liu Bei's inquiry, Guan Yu replied to him:

"If the elder brother Fang is the one who issued the edict as the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, Yu is a minister, and those who are ministers must be loyal and righteous first, and the edict of the Son of Heaven will definitely obey."

After saying this, Guan Yu continued: "But as a younger brother, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Originally, when Liu Bei heard Guan Yu's last sentence, some surprise appeared on his face.

His good brother knows best that he shouldn't be this kind of character.

But Guan Yu's next turn made Liu Bei feel that it was really like this.

Guan Yu specially accentuated the tone of the words "regret for life" to express his true attitude.

It's just that Liu Bei is not a person who is so easy to change his opinion, Liu Bei knows what Guan Yu means by regretting for life.

On the way to the sleeping tent with Guan Yu just now, Guan Yu seemed to have realized that the secret would be known to Liu Bei after a while.

So he informed Liu Bei in advance of the news that Zhang Liao was leading tens of thousands of Cao Wei's Chinese troops.

The importance of Cao Wei's army, Liu Bei, as Cao Cao's old opponent, only knows more than Guan Yu.

But this alone was not enough to make Liu Bei change his mind.

Liu Bei said firmly to Guan Yu: "The coming day is long, maybe you will miss this fighter when you return to Chengdu this time.

But as long as you take care of your body, are you afraid that there will be no chance to defeat the anti-Wei Chinese army in the future?"

In the face of Liu Bei's persuasion, Guan Yu showed a wry smile on his lips and said, "Brother, time is running out!"

Guan Yu then asked Liu Bei, "Brother, do you still remember the battle of Dangyang?"

Hearing Guan Yu mention the battle of Dangyang that almost made him fall, a heavy look appeared on Liu Bei's face.

How could he forget the tragic situation at that time?

Seeing that Liu Bei began to recall the details of that battle, Guan Yu continued, "Brother, can you still remember the might of the anti-Wei cavalry?"

When Guan Yu said this, the look on Liu Bei's face was no longer heavy, but jealous.

As the commander of that battle, how could he not know?

Everyone in the world knows that the battle of Dangyang was the defeat of Liu Bei by the five thousand iron cavalry led by Cao Cao.

But few people in the world know the specific process of the first battle of Dangyang.

Although Guan Yu was not in the army during the first battle of Dangyang, Guan Yu had heard Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei say the specific process of that battle.

At that time, Liu Bei retreated south with more than 100,000 people.

And among the more than 100,000 troops, Liu Bei's army has nearly 10,000, and most of them are elite soldiers!

At that time, Liu Bei's team was marching quite slowly, and it was only more than ten miles a day.

This is because in order to protect the more than 100,000 people, Liu Bei personally led a group of generals and 10,000 elite soldiers.

Therefore, when the 5,000 iron cavalry led by Cao Cao personally arrived near Dangyang, the first contact was the 10,000 elite soldiers led by Liu Bei himself.

Perhaps there were not many troops under Liu Bei at that time, but there were veteran generals such as Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Chen Zhi in his army.

According to Liu Bei's thoughts, he should also be able to resist Cao Cao's iron cavalry for a while.

But what Liu Bei didn't expect was that his carefully trained 10,000 infantry army met Cao Cao's 5,000 iron cavalry, and it didn't last long at all, and it was completely defeated, and in the end, only he and a dozen cavalry escaped.

Liu Bei was defeated so badly in that battle, not because his soldiers and horses were not excellent, not because his generals were not brave.

It was really Cao Cao's five thousand iron cavalry, and the advantage in the unobstructed plain was too great.

And it was that battle that made Liu Bei understand the importance and terrifyingness of the cavalry.

That's why he began to vigorously renovate the four roads of Guanzhong after taking Yizhou, preparing to take Guanzhong as the main direction of his Northern Expedition to Japan.

Guan Yu saw that after Liu Bei recalled the past, the jealousy on his face became deeper and deeper, so he continued:

"What my brother said is not unreasonable, and Yu also understands the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, but now the situation is different!"

"In the past, the reason why our army had many defeats in field battles with the thief army was nothing more than that the thief army relied on the advantage of the cavalry, and when our army fought against the thief army's infantry army, the thief army's cavalry either harassed or attacked, and finally caused our army to suffer a great defeat."

"My brother is also a leader of the army for many years, have you forgotten this lesson? And when Yang fights, has the thief army's cavalry brother forgotten?"

"It's different now, Yu just crushed the tens of thousands of cavalry of the thief army, and for a period of time, it will be difficult for the thief army to organize a large-scale cavalry army."

"Now is the best time for our infantry to defeat the anti-Wei Chinese army.

And only when the anti-Wei cavalry does not participate in the war, can our army have a greater possibility to defeat the anti-Wei Chinese army head-on on the vast plain."

"It's easy for Yu to retreat, but Yu's retreat will undoubtedly make our army miss this excellent opportunity, and it will undoubtedly give Wei a chance to breathe."

"Even if Riyu can take care of his body and lead the army north again, once the opportunity is missed, then it will be difficult to have it again."

"The national strength of the Great Han is still weak, if we can't grasp every opportunity to continuously weaken the national strength of the anti-Wei Dynasty, then when will the dream of you and my brother be realized?"

"Yu's personal life and death honor and disgrace are small, and the big husband should put the great cause of the country first!"

When Guan Yu finished the last sentence, he had already bowed deeply to Liu Bei in front of him.

Guan Yu's words showed the reason why he insisted on refusing to withdraw from the army.

Because in his opinion, it is an excellent opportunity to defeat Cao Wei's army.

And this opportunity is the result of his painstaking planning for a period of time.

After many days of hard training, it is finally time to harvest the fruits, and now let him retreat, how can he be willing!

But in the face of Guan Yu's request for bow, Liu Bei subconsciously took a few steps back.

Under Guan Yu's explanation, Liu Bei understood why Guan Yu insisted on fighting this battle.

Liu Bei admitted that what Guan Yu said was right, but Liu Bei still couldn't sit back and watch Guan Yu drag his sick body to fight this battle.

So although Liu Bei didn't say anything to stop it, his body kept retreating, and he had already expressed his attitude.

And Liu Bei's performance was also seen by Guan Yu.

After Guan Yu saw Liu Bei's performance, some anger appeared on his face.

He had already explained it so clearly, why Liu Bei didn't understand him yet.

In anger, Guan Yu walked towards Liu Bei anxiously.

And every time Guan Yu took a step, a sentence of incomprehension came out of his mouth:

"Brother, do you think I'm here to make a contribution?"

"When I voted for my brother, it was my brother who taught me to put state affairs first."

"But how did my brother forget that now?"

"Season

I often don't understand me, Zicheng doesn't understand me, I can accept it."

"But brother, how can you not understand me!"

......

Because of Liu Bei's retreat, Guan Yu was already some distance away from Liu Bei.

And in the distance that Guan Yu walked towards Liu Bei, the initial incomprehension in Guan Yu's mouth almost turned into an aggrieved question.

In the dark night, the candle flame in Guan Yu's main tent was flickering and emitting its own faint light, lighting up this dark space.

And under the flickering light of the candles, the figures of Guan Yu and Liu Bei were stretched out for a long time, reflecting on the tents around the two of them.

When Guan Yu approached Liu Bei step by step with anger, Guan Yu's figure also began to shoot diagonally, towards the other figure on the tent that was still standing.

This scene happened to be clearly seen by Mi Yang outside the big tent.

And because Guan Yu is now in an excited state of mind, his voice is quite loud.

The words he asked when he approached Liu Bei, Mi Yang could also hear them clearly.

After realizing that the two brothers had begun to quarrel, Mi Yang, who was standing in the cold wind, unconsciously shrunk his neck.

He finally knew why Liu Bei had to retreat everyone tonight, leaving him to wait outside the big tent.

It's not that Liu Bei sees him as strong in force, it's that Liu Bei has long expected this scene.

And Liu Bei felt that he was both Guan Yu's son-in-law and his nephew, and they were both members of the same family.

After all, "family ugliness" should not be publicized.

In the big tent, when Guan Yu complained about all the grievances in his heart and came to Liu Bei's side, Liu Bei was not frightened by the general who came to him with anger in front of him.

The actions that Guan Yu did just now had been done many times in front of him in the past.

Among the three brothers, although Zhang Fei seems to have the most short temper, Guan Yu is actually the one who argues with him the most.

Although the three brothers have the same aspirations, they have very different personalities.

Guan Yu's most serious tantrum was to complain in public that his decision was wrong.

Looking at Guan Yu, who was already standing one step in front of him, Liu Bei's temper had already risen at this time.

If Guan Yu had this performance before, Liu Bei might have thought about playing haha, but in the face of Guan Yu's safety, Liu Bei would not let it go at all.

"No matter what you say, you must go back to Chengdu with me."

Facing the coercion of the world's ten thousand enemies, Liu Bei showed the courage of a big brother.

It's just that Guan Yu is such a low-headed person.

"As the Son of Heaven, you should put national affairs first, how can you use your children's affection!"

Seeing Guan Yu reasoning with him, Liu Bei was naturally not afraid at all.

"The family affairs of the Son of Heaven are state affairs, you are my family, and of course your affairs are also state affairs."

Hearing Liu Bei say this, Guan Yu's heart warmed, but he still said:

"State affairs are also divided into big and small, the reverse Wei is the national thief of the Han Dynasty, and the destruction of the national thief is the first-class national affairs of the Han Dynasty."

Seeing Guan Yu talking about the basic national policy of the Northern Expedition, Liu Bei quickly reacted and said:

"In my heart, your safety is as important as the destruction of the thieves."

Seeing that Liu Bei was a little strong, Guan Yu couldn't help but be anxious.

"Brother, you're too persistent!"

Although Guan Yu was anxious, Liu Bei was still determined.

"It's Yun Chang, you're too persistent. Even though this opportunity is rare, as long as you are by my side, even if there are tens of thousands of Wei soldiers riding in the future, what am I afraid of?"

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei and said with puzzlement:

"Brother is not afraid, then as the general of the Great Han, what is wrong with me wanting to beg for the thief of the Great Han?"

After Guan Yu's words came out, Liu Bei, who was the monarch and his brother, was speechless for a while, but then he said in a somewhat sad tone:

"Then I'm your brother, I think you've always been by my side, what's wrong?"

"Even though I can sit on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, I don't have anything around me

How can I be happy with my brothers?"

"I don't object to you begging for thieves, I don't object to you fighting on the battlefield, I just want you to go back to Chengdu with me to take care of your body first, what's wrong with this!"

"I just don't want to be alone."

When Liu Bei said the last sentence, Guan Yu's eyes were instantly wet.

Liu Bei's feelings for him are like his feelings for Liu Bei, how could he not know?

It's just that Liu Bei ignored one thing.

Guan Yu said to Liu Bei in a more sad tone, "But brother, my brother's body can't be raised."

When Guan Yu said this, he spoke quite slowly.

But when his words fell into Liu Bei's ears, Liu Bei's whole person was like being hit hard, and he subconsciously fell to the ground.

Yes, according to what Fang Cai Fan said, Guan Yu's body is already unhealed.

Because of his inner persistence, Liu Bei has been consciously ignoring this matter.

But now that this matter has been mentioned again by Guan Yu, Liu Bei, who can no longer dodge, finally can't support it anymore and falls directly to the ground.

And Guan Yu also sat on the ground.

After Guan Yu sat in front of him, Liu Bei stretched out his hands and put them on Guan Yu's shoulders.

Liu Bei looked at the brother in front of him who had gray temples, and his eyes slowly moistened.

It is true that his second brother is a hero of the world.

But heroes will also grow old one day.

At this time, Liu Bei wanted to say the words "no" to Guan Yu, but the words were already on his lips, but he couldn't say anything.

Seeing Liu Bei's reaction, Guan Yu felt uncomfortable.

It's just that as a party to him, he is more open than Liu Bei.

"Although I can't take care of my body, I don't have to worry about my life for the time being, and my brother doesn't need to be too uncomfortable."

"People are inherently dead, time flies, you and I are no longer the crowned young men when Zhuojun joined the army."

"Maybe it won't be long before I'm too sick to stay.

"My brother knows my brother's temperament, and if I give up my obsession and choose to spend the rest of my life on the sickbed, it will be the most unacceptable thing for me."

"So I really want to fight for my brother and for the big man again.

After this battle, whether I win or lose, I will go back to Chengdu with my brother!"

"I hope my brother will be perfect!"

When he said the above words, Guan Yu held Liu Bei's hand, and the strength in his hand continued to increase, as a way to show his determination.

Feeling the strength in his hand, and then looking at Guan Yu's eyes full of pleading, Liu Bei's heart began to waver.

Maybe he can use the authority of the emperor and his brother's identity to force Guan Yu, but is this really for Guan Yu's good?

After realizing this, Liu Bei closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.

His face struggled, unbearable, and the look of pain kept changing.

But in the end, he said slowly:

"I will summon Yide, the great war is imminent, and the three brothers are indispensable."

"No matter what the victory or defeat, you and I are three brothers living and dying together."

After hearing Liu Bei say this, Guan Yu sat up straight and bowed deeply to the most admired brother in his life.

Liu Bei's love for him has always been so deep.
