At the end of the war, Liu Feng led his subordinates to bid farewell to everyone and return to Shangyong.

The mighty fleet of Liu Chan and others traced back to the west, entered Yizhou through Badong, and branched off at the intersection of many tributaries in the northwest of Ba County.

Fan Qiang and Zhang Da led the army north from the Jialing River to return to Langzhong.

Liu Chan and others continued westward and went straight to Chengdu.

As soon as Lao Liu received the last war report, he ordered people to hype up the Jingzhou victory in Yizhou, and even spread it to Hanzhong, so as to reassure the people and boost the morale of all strata.

As a result, the people who had received the news in advance along the way, especially the people of Jiangling who were temporarily resettled in Yizhou, rushed to the riverside when the fleet passed by, cheering and cheering.

The army won the battle, and they were able to return home.

Although Fa Zheng ordered people to mobilize food and warm clothing in various ways, and arranged or even built temporary shelters for them, except for some people who died of illness due to water and soil adaptation, none of the Jiangling people resettled in Yizhou died of cold and starvation.

Compared with the tragic fate of the Wudu people who moved away by Boss Cao, it is really incomparable.

But even if there is no shortage of food and clothing, there is no good home in the countryside after all, because they are all extremely excited at this time, and the cold cannot stop their enthusiasm.

Equally excited are officials from all over the country, whose own forces have won a big victory, which is a major event that concerns the future and interests of each of them.

Many officials ordered their subordinates to wait on the banks of the wharf river early, just hoping to meet with the two generals, the crown prince and Guan Zhang, to express their gratitude......

However, a few people were eager to return to the city, and they did not make many stops along the way, which disappointed the officials who wanted to take the opportunity to make a familiar face.

The big ship carrying Liu Chan, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well as the prince's army, did not stop for a moment, and the husbands took turns day and night to rock the oar, and finally arrived in Chengdu in the second half of the lunar month.

At first, the four of them were still drinking and laughing, but they were getting closer and closer to Chengdu, but Guan Yu gradually became silent.

When he approached the dock, Guan Yu was completely silent, frowning from beginning to end.

Liu Chan, Zhang Fei, and Guan Ping all knew that he was in a complicated mood at this time, so they didn't bother anymore, and just waited for him to see Liu Bei.

In the cold wind, the front of the pier was crowded with people who came to greet them.

"Welcome to the crown prince and the two generals! Congratulations on Jingzhou's victory! The people on the dock were beaming and shouting.

Liu Chan and others also smiled in return...... Of course, Guan Yu was still frowning.

"Father! Brother! ”

Until a woman's cry came from the crowd.

Guan Yinping separated the crowd in front of him, rushed over like a gust of wind, and pounced directly on Guan Yu and threw himself into his arms.

"Father...... Woooooooo ”

It was only at this time that Guan Yu's expression changed, his brows stretched slightly, and he patted his daughter's shoulder: "Okay, it's okay for my father." ”

With him, there was still a young man, who looked similar in age to Guan Yinping, and Guan Yu's shadow could also be seen in his appearance.

"Father, brother." He was also very excited at this time, but as a man, he could still restrain himself, "You have finally returned safely!" ”

Guan Yu nodded and patted him on the shoulder: "An Guo, when my father talks to your uncle, I will tell you about Jingzhou in detail." ”

The young man nodded yes, and then walked up to Liu Chan and bowed: "Prince, I haven't seen you for many years." This time, my father and brother returned safely, thanks to the help of the prince, and I am very grateful. ”

Then he saluted Zhang Feifei again, behaved generously, and the courtesy was thorough.

The boy was Guan Xing, Guan Yu's second son, and this time he was sent back to Yizhou with Guan Yu's other family members who stayed in Jiangling.

He is different from Liu Chan, who has been urinating all day and night since he was a child, he was well-behaved and polite when he was a child, studied and practiced martial arts on weekdays, and rarely disturbed his father and brother's official business without permission.

So much so that when he was in Jingzhou, he didn't have much contact with Liu Chan.

Previously, Liu Chan went to Jingzhou with the caravan to lay out, which coincided with his going out to study, and he didn't see it until this time.

[Guan Xing's Opinion +20, +20] (60)

[Guan Xing's friendship is 40, military talent +10×2, long soldier talent +8×2, equestrian talent +8×2]

【……】

Guan Yinping then stepped forward to salute, his eyes still full of tears seemed to have a thousand words, but this was not a good time to talk.

Liu Chan and others, who were anxious to meet Liu Bei, hurriedly entered the city, and had to wait until after the official business to say goodbye.

……

Liu Bei in the Great Sima Mansion didn't seem to be any different from usual, but he adjusted his sitting posture from time to time, revealing his inner eagerness.

If he hadn't been the king now, he would have to maintain a lot of courtesy in front of outsiders, and he would have wanted to go to the dock himself!

"The king, the crown prince and the two generals Guan Zhang have arrived."

"Let them in!"

Subsequently, Liu Chan and Guan Zhang walked into the hall together.

As soon as he came in, Guan Yu looked excited and stepped forward quickly.

He paused after only taking two steps, and thought about a lot of things to say when he came, but at this time, he looked at his brother, who had been separated for six years and looked a lot older, but he couldn't say a word.

Liu Bei's poker face couldn't hold back, he got up suddenly, walked quickly in front of Guan Yu, and was speechless for a while.

As he got closer, the wrinkles on his face and the gray hair on his head became more pronounced.

Guan Yu gradually showed shame, knelt down on one knee with a puff, hugged his fists and said, "Brother...... Yu failed in the Northern Expedition this time, and almost lost Jingzhou, and he had the trust of his brother. Now...... I have come to ask for sin! ”

Liu Bei grabbed Guan Yu's arms with both hands, pulled him up, looked up and down, and saw that he was uninjured and disabled, and then he felt at ease: "It's good to come back safely, it's good to come back safely......

"If it weren't for Zifang's sacrifice of his life this time, Adou would have helped in time...... Even if Yu is broken, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect Jingzhou. Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei didn't blame him, but he felt even more guilty in his heart, "Please also ask my brother to punish him." ”

Liu Bei grabbed Guan Yu's arms tightly, and suddenly said angrily: "Who wants to crush your body to pieces!" ”

This angry shout shocked Guan Yu, but he didn't say anything for a while.

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Jingzhou will lose it if it is lost, and then fight back. If you lose, you will seek death, and I have already died many times! "The foundation that has been hard for most of my life to break through, half of the territory, but at this time it seems so light in Liu Bei's mouth.

"If Jingzhou can't do anything, you should try your best to protect yourself and return to Yizhou, how can you have the will to die because of a momentary defeat?!"

Liu Bei finished speaking in one breath, and the anger on his face gradually subsided at this time, looking at Guan Yu's face that was no longer young, and said in a trembling voice: "If I regard a mere state as more important than my brother's life, even if there are thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the future, what is the price?" ”

Guan Yu's lips trembled, and his tiger eyes were full of tears: "Brother, ......"

Liu Bei stepped forward and hugged his old brother who had followed him for many years and fought in the south and the north, and he couldn't hold back anymore: "Yun Chang, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”

The two of them, who could talk and laugh in the face of life and death, actually hugged their heads and cried at this time.

Zhang Fei on the side remembered that he had lost Xuzhou back then, and he was also touched in his heart, and stepped forward to hug the two.

The three people who have not been gathered for six years finally meet again in this Chengdu city at this time.

Liu Chan looked at the three old men who didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, didn't have so many suspicions and calculations, and showed their true feelings with a smile, and his nose was also sour.

I can't help but think of the song in my previous life: "This worship, loyal to the liver and courage, and vow not to separate from each other in adversity." This worship, life and death do not change, the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon strengthen my feelings......"

The reality is not so romantic, and the three of them did not tie up in Taoyuan at the beginning.

Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei when he was a teenager, and Guan Yu, who later died in Zhuo County, was also moved by Liu Bei's ambition and has followed him to this day.

The three of them were not like brothers as soon as they met, and even Zhang Fei and Guan Yu fought a lot at first.

They are a deep bond that has been gradually built up in the fighting, on the brutal battlefield.

Although they are not righteous, they are also like brothers and sisters, and they are like father and son.

It is rare in the world to treat people with foreign surnames who are not related by blood as their own clan and avenge their brothers' soldiers.

It is also rare in the world to be able to leave behind high-ranking officials and courteous beauties, and go to find the poor and white brothers under the fence.

In addition to being moved, Liu Chan also felt a sense of pride in his heart.

What worries me the most is the theory of fate.

I am worried that no matter how hard I try, history will always return to its original trajectory for various reasons.

But now it seems that this is not the case, fate can be changed, and the number of days can be reversed.

In this case, across thousands of years in this world, you might as well make it bigger!
