Castle annex.

Guan Hai saw Guan Ding, who was weaving bamboo mats in the courtyard.

Although Hu Zhao considered that it was inconvenient for Guan Ding to move with a lame foot, he made a special trip to assign a maid to Guan Ding to take care of his daily life, but Guan Ding was idle.

After this leisure, I began to weave bamboo mats.

"Guan Qushuai, I won't bother your uncle and nephew to catch up." Hu Zhao made a gesture of please, and he didn't come close to see Guan Ding with Guan Hai.

When Guan Hai saw Guan Ding, this hanging heart finally landed.

His parents have passed away, and Guan Ding is Guan Hai's only relative.

"Uncle!"

Guan Hai came to Guan Ding, his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground.

In those tiger eyes, there were also tears.

"Nephew, why are you here?" Seeing Guan Hai who suddenly broke in, Guan Ding was taken aback, got up with a limp, and subconsciously looked out of the door.

Guan Yu commanded the troops to meet the Yellow Turban Thief outside, but Guan Hai, who was a member of the Yellow Turban Thief, appeared in Gaotang City, which made Guan Ding a little panicked.

Guan Hai hurriedly approached, supported Guan Ding and said, "Uncle, don't be afraid, there are no officers and soldiers outside the door." ”

Guan Ding breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes were still full of worry when he looked at Guan Hai, and asked again: "Nephew, Lieutenant Guan has gone out of the city to meet you, why is you in the city?" ”

"Uncle, I, I was ordered to fight Gao Tang City." Guan Hai lowered his head and did not hide Guan Ding.

Looking at Guan Hai, who bowed his head and was honest, Guan Ding couldn't help but stomp his feet: "Nephew, you are really confused!" So who is Xu Qi? That's a fierce jackal, do you have to let the entire people of Gaotang City, Li Shu, be bullied by Xu Qi? ”

"I warned you last time, looking for an opportunity to leave the Yellow Turban, but you brought troops to fight Gao Tang City?"

"Do you want the old man to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man?"

"Lord Liu Bei is a benevolent person in the world, he has always observed the people's suffering, the houses in this city are ready to house the disaster victims, and the porridge shed has been prepared outside the city, under the rule of such a benevolent and righteous official, you actually want to fight?"

"Are you really like Xu Qi's dog thief, who completely gave up your good heart and only wanted to be the bully bandit?"

"So, what's the difference between you and the powerful bully who killed your parents in the past?"

The more Guan Ding scolded, the more angry he became, and suddenly he couldn't catch up with his breath and coughed constantly.

Guan Hai was frightened, and was about to step forward, but was scolded by Guan Ding.

"Kneel down for the old man!"

"It was a blessing for my brother and sister-in-law to have a son when they were old, but now not only are they suffering from bullies, but their son has also become a thief who bullies and is good."

"It's bitter!"

Guan Ding was crying and scolding, Guan Hai only dared to prostrate his head on the ground, and did not dare to have the slightest disobedience.

It wasn't until Guan Ding was a little tired of scolding that Guan Hai looked at Guan Ding with some grievances: "Uncle, you misunderstood your nephew, although my nephew was ordered to fight Gao Tang City, but my nephew didn't really fight!" ”

"Do you still want to fight?" Guan Ding raised his eyebrows again, and his sharp eyes saw Guan Hai's head shrink.

Moment.

Guan Ding's anger disappeared a little, looking at Guan Hai's aggrieved appearance, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and asked in a softened tone: "Nephew, what do you think?" ”

Guan Hai shook his head: "Uncle, I don't know. Hu Zhao persuaded me to surrender, but my nephew was a thief after all, and he had 200 brothers under his command, and they also had relatives. If you surrender, you will really be slaughtered. ”

"Xu Qushuai once told me that the officers and soldiers are not credible, in the past, the emperor Song pit killed 200,000 yellow turbans, and even the old and weak women and children were not spared, and the nephew did not dare to gamble!"

"My nephew is hesitant, so I came to see my uncle."

Seeing Guan Hai's painful appearance, Guan Ding couldn't bear it in his heart, pulled Guan Hai up with a limp, and then straightened Guan Hai's somewhat unkempt hair: "Lord Liu Bei once said to the old man that the country has its own laws, rewards must be done, and punishments must be done. ”

"Those who are officials must seek justice, and they must not show favoritism for personal reasons."

"If you really have the heart to repent of abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, Lord Liu Bei will be lightly punished."

"But if there is a crime of unjustified murder, like Xu Qi, inflicting the injustice he suffered on the rest of the innocent people, it is a capital crime."

"Don't make a mistake about yourself, nephew!"

"If you really don't want to surrender, go to other places, there can be no more people in Gaotang County suffering because of you."

Looking at Guan Ding's old eyes, Guan Hai couldn't hide his concern, Guan Hai was silent.

Long.

Guan Hai gritted his teeth: "Uncle, my nephew is not leaving!" Even if he wants to be questioned, the nephew has to be by his uncle's side! ”

Bang Bang Bang –

Hu Zhao stroked his palm and praised: "There is a way, the prodigal son turns back, and the real gold is not exchanged." Guan Hai, this man values faithfulness and righteousness, can't you go back on what you said? ”

"Lord Xiancheng." Seeing Hu Zhao appear, Guan Ding hurriedly interceded for Guan Hai: "The old nephew just went astray, and I also asked the county lord to ask for a favor." ”

"Mr. Guan, your legs and feet are inconvenient, sit down and talk." Hu Zhao had the heart to take care of Guan Hai's heart for Liu Bei, and called Guan Dingna a respect: "Lord Liu Bei has instructed that Mr. Guan has always been virtuous and a model for the villagers, so I want to take care of him." ”

Seeing Hu Zhao mention Liu Bei, Guan Ding couldn't help but say with some nostalgia: "Lord Liu Bei does not hesitate to condescend to the noble, but also to weave bamboo mats for the old decay, because after leaving on official business, he gave the villagers and neighbors silver money, and asked the villagers to weave bamboo mats for the old decay." ”

"Every time I think that my nephew is still in the yellow scarf, I feel ashamed of Lord Liu Bei, alas."

Hu Zhao said calmly: "The old gentleman is serious. Guan Hai joined the Yellow Turban, originally forced by the bully Hao, not his intention. ”

"Lord Liu Bei once said that if there are good villagers under his rule who join the Yellow Turban, it is not the fault of the good villagers, but the dereliction of duty of the officials."

"If the officials can strictly enforce the law and discipline, how can there be good villagers who are wronged and humiliated and forced to be thieves?"

Hu Zhao's three sentences are inseparable from Liu Bei, whether Liu Bei said it or not, they all regard it as Liu Bei's teachings.

Guan Ding was greatly moved, looked at Guan Hai and said, "Nephew, have you heard the words of Lord County?" Lord Liu Bei is a true benevolent and righteous official, as long as you sincerely repent and do not make a big mistake, you can be forgiven. ”

Under Guan Ding's persuasion and Hu Zhao's words, Guan Hai's inner entanglement and hesitation were finally let go.

"Lord County, Guan Hai is willing to surrender!" Guan Hai knelt on one knee and saluted Hu Zhao with a fist.

This change in title also shows Guan Hai's inner determination.

Hu Zhao laughed, helped Guan Hai up and said, "Guan Hai, you go out of the city first!" When the county lieutenant comes back, you will bring your subordinates to surrender, and I will speak for you. ”

Guan Hai's eyes when he looked at Hu Zhao were also a little more complicated.

Hu Zhao's words are also hinting at Guan Hai, whether he can surrender or not depends on Guan Yu's meaning.

"Lord County, there were many misunderstandings before, and your kindness is appreciated!" Guan Hai hugged his fists and thanked.

After sending Guan Hai out of the city, Hu Zhao immediately sent a cavalry pawn to report to Guan Yu.

Although Guan Hai was persuaded by Guan Ding, whether he can accept Guan Hai depends on Guan Yu's attitude.

Since Liu Bei took charge of the plains, Guan Yu was ordered to take charge of Gaotang County.

Hu Zhao is in charge of the government, Guan Yu is in charge of the army, and when it comes to major affairs, it is up to Guan Yu to say anything.

The cavalry met Guan Yu, who had returned from the withdrawal of the army, and presented Hu Zhao's secret letter.

"This Hu Zhao is also interesting."

Guan Yu glanced at the secret letter and nodded slightly.

Although he doesn't like scholars very much, Guan Yu is not quite unreasonable.

The government affairs in this county still need scholars to govern, and it just so happens that Hu Zhao is good at government affairs.

"Zicheng, this is a secret letter sent by Hu Xiancheng, take a look." Guan Yu handed the secret letter to Hua Ji.

Hua Ji's performance today made Guan Yu quite satisfied.

This young scholar also made Guan Yu's impression of scholars change to a certain extent.

"Lieutenant Guan, Gaotang County should not kill more."

"Xu Qi and the other six Yellow Turbans are all dead, and the first evil has been killed! The rest of the Yellow Turban thieves can be surrendered and appeased. ”

"After all, the fields in Gaotang County can't all be cultivated by the old, weak, women and children."

"If you accept Guan Hai's surrender, you may be able to use Guan Hai to recruit the remaining Yellow Turbans in Gaotang County, so that the Yellow Turbans in Gaotang County can be completely pacified."

"We can also resettle the villagers to return to their homes as soon as possible and prepare food and clothing for the winter."

Hua Ji's immature face was a little more weathered, and his words were more thoughtful.

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful hair and carefully considered Hua Ji's answer.

Now that the Yellow Turban has been eliminated, it is the most important thing to resettle the villagers to return to their homes!

It only takes one day to destroy the enemy, but it is not possible to resettle the villagers in a day or two.

If it is not handled properly, the villagers will be frozen and starved, which will inevitably cause the villagers to rebel twice.

"I am entrusted by my brother to take charge of this Gaotang County, and I will take care of the villagers affected by the disaster for my brother An."

"According to your words, accept the surrender of this ruler!"

Guan Yu acted decisively, and as soon as he returned to the city, he sent people to summon Guan Hai.

At this time, Guan Hai also got the information about the destruction of Xu Qi and the other six yellow scarves, and he couldn't help but rejoice.

Even Xu Qi is dead, even if he seizes Gaotang City, what's the use?

Immediately.

Guan Hai led these two hundred yellow scarves and came to the city to ask Guan Yu to surrender.

Guan Yu saw that Guan Hai was brave and young, and he had three points of appreciation in his heart.

also learned that Guan Hai's parents died from powerful bullies, and Guan Hai killed the enemy in anger before joining the Yellow Turban, Guan Yu felt a little more empathy in his heart.

How similar is the Guan Hai in front of him to Guan Yu's experience back then?

It's just that after Guan Yu killed the enemy, he met Liu Bei on the way to escape, so he didn't devote himself to the Yellow Turban as a thief like Guan Hai.

"Guan Hai, you are a son of a good family, but because the powerful bullies bullied your parents, and the county officials did not punish the wicked according to the law, you had no choice but to flee."

"Guan Mou also suffered this in the past."

"There are many dog officials and evil officials in this world, so that most of the heroes have no choice but to flee."

"But Guan was fortunate to meet Rende's brother, so he avoided falling into the grass."

"Today, since you are willing to surrender, you can no longer have the nature of a thief, you need to study the Spring and Autumn Period diligently, understand the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, and no longer have the heart of a thief."

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful hair, stepped forward to help Guan Hai, and taught him earnestly.

Guan Hai was shocked in his heart.

When Guan Yu said "I also had this experience in the past", Guan Hai also had empathy.

As a son of a good family, he had to use force to kill the enemy in private, and finally fell into the grass, isn't this a kind of sadness?

could have killed the enemy and made a name for himself, but he found that he could only be a thief!

Even Guan Ding couldn't understand the pain in Guan Hai's heart.

But Guan Yu in front of him broke Guan Hai's true thoughts in a few words, and even persuaded Guan Hai to read the Spring and Autumn Period diligently and comprehend the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period.

This made Guan Hai feel a sense of excitement to meet a confidant.

"Humble and lowly, remember the teachings of the county captain!" Guan Hai burst into tears and bowed again.

Seeing this, Guan Yu was also happy in his heart.

A reckless hero like Guan Hai can be more recognized by Guan Yu.

"Guan Hai, Gaotang County no longer needs the existence of yellow turbans." Guan Yu smiled: "Are you willing to help Guan Mou to surrender the remaining yellow scarves?" ”

Guan Hai clenched his fists angrily: "Don't worry, Lord County Lieutenant, I still have some fame in the Yellow Turban, let me be allowed a few days, and I will definitely surrender the remaining Yellow Turban for Lord County Lieutenant." ”

The battle in Gaotang County has been decided, and Guan Yu sent people to report the war to Liu Bei quickly.

Seeing that Guan Yu broke the seven yellow turbans in Gaotang County, and recruited a group of yellow turbans led by Guan Hai, the resettlement of the victims was also done safely.

The worry in Liu Bei's heart finally disappeared, replaced by indescribable excitement.

"Yun Chang has also grown!"

Liu Bei knew Guan Yu's personality very well, and he was always worried that Guan Yu would be at odds with Hua Ji and Hu Zhao, and then make the yellow scarves and disaster victims in Gaotang County uncontrollable.

But now, Guan Yu was able to get along with Hua Ji and Hu Zhao, and nip the disaster in Gaotang County in the bud, which made Liu Bei excited and relieved.

Liu Bei's status and reputation have improved too quickly.

In just over two months, it has changed from an obscure Gao Tang Order to a trial defense of the plains.

Not only that, Liu Bei also became the quasi-nephew and son-in-law of Liu Shuo, the king of the plains, but because Jiao He refused to give Liu Bei a quota, the kings of the Liu clan in Qingzhou came to the plains to support Liu Bei.

This sudden change in status and reputation also made Liu Bei a little like walking on thin ice, for fear that if he was not careful, this status and fame would be shattered like a dream bubble.

Zhang Fei has now gone to Youzhou, Liu Bei naturally doesn't have to worry about Zhang Fei making mistakes, but Guan Yu is in Gaotang County, not restrained by his side, Liu Bei is afraid that Guan Yu will offend all his colleagues because of arrogance.

But Liu Bei is walking on thin ice, why is Guan Yu not walking on thin ice?

Seeing that Liu Bei's family business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are few people available, Guan Yu is always reminding himself to be restrained and calm.

If he makes a mistake, it is equivalent to burying Liu Bei's entire future.

This is something Guan Yu can't tolerate!

Fortunately, the Yellow Turban crisis in Gaotang County has been successfully resolved.

Guan Yu's performance also exceeded Liu Bei's expectations.

The growth of his righteous brother is also something that Liu Bei should be happy about.

When the family business is small, you can still let Guan Yu be a guard, and when the family business is big, you have to let Guan Yu be alone!

"Next, it's up to Mr. Xianmou." Liu Bei looked in the direction of Banxian.

Since Zheng Ping wiped out the Yellow Turbans in Ande County and Qi County with lightning speed, Zheng Ping raised troops to Banxian County.
