Yuan Shu supported the establishment of a puppet emperor, which was a national enemy.

Yuan Shu harmed Lu Zhi, this is a personal hatred.

With the addition of national hatred and private hatred, Guan Yu has no reason to forgive Yuan Shu.

The spies soon found out that Yuan Shu's camp had set up a false banner and the main force had already retreated.

Guan Yu left a small number of soldiers and horses in Xuyi, and took the lead in pursuing Yuan Shu on foot and horse.

Finding Guan Yu's chasing soldiers, Yuan Shu couldn't help but curse.

said that it was a good plan to suspect the soldiers, why didn't you fall for Guan Yu!

In desperation, Yuan Shu could only rush to the battle.

Although Yuan Shu has the advantage of troops, his own family knows his own affairs, and most of the combat effectiveness of these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is at the level of Black Mountain thieves.

At the suggestion of his son-in-law Huang Yi, Yuan Shu threw away the old and weak remnants of the army, and led the young and strong main force along the Huaishui.

Yuan Shu did a good enough job, but Guan Yu was not good at stubble.

As soon as he saw these old and weak soldiers, Guan Yu saw through Yuan Shu's intentions.

So Guan Yu promised in his capacity as a pastor in Xuzhou that as long as he laid down his weapons, he could go to the nearby city to receive relief grain and rice.

The powerful family of Xia Pi Kingdom was originally headed by the Chen family.

Guan Yu and Chen Dengzai, whether they are county officials or Haoqiang families, have to give Guan Yu and Chen Deng a few thin noodles and take out grain and rice to help this group of hungry people.

Hearing that there was such a good thing, Yuan Shu's group of old and weak soldiers were surprised, happy and suspicious.

Lu Su stood up and told this group of old and weak soldiers how Qingzhou Mu Liu Bei settled 500,000 hungry people in the past.

The man's name is the shadow of the tree.

The news of Liu Bei's settlement of 500,000 hungry people in Qingzhou has long been spread to Huainan.

Before this, Liu Bei had also sent people in Huainan to promote the benefits of going to Qingzhou, and many Huainan scholars rushed to migrate to Qingzhou.

Most of the rest of the people who were caught by Yuan Shu were incapable of migrating.

This group of Yuan soldiers can not believe Guan Yu, but they will definitely believe Liu Bei!

"The name of Liu Yuanjun Rende has long spread in Huainan, and I have long wanted to go to Qingzhou, but unfortunately I can't go without money and food."

"This Xuzhou Mu Guan Yu is the righteous brother of Xuande Gong, so he must be a benevolent and virtuous official like Xuande Gong, he should be able to believe it."

"It can't be a trick on us, is it? What if this Guan Yu is impersonating? ”

"Pretending to be you, do you need to pretend to be a state minister?"

"Dongcheng Lusu, I have seen him, and I also went to the Lu family to borrow grain and rice."

"It seems to be true, I finally don't have to starve."

"Heaven killing Yuan Shu, rob my land, rob my food, kill my whole family, rob my woman, and force me to be a soldier, but unfortunately my leg is lame, otherwise I must follow Guan Junhou to fight Yuan Shu."

“.”

Gradually, the group of old and weak soldiers left by Yuan Shu had more vision for the future in their eyes.

After Chen Deng learned about Yuan Shubing's situation, he offered advice: "Junhou, Yuan Shu is unpopular, most of the soldiers under his command are strong men, and they are forced to obey Yuan Shu's orders out of desperation. ”

"It's better to leave some bold ones who have fathers and brothers in Yuan Shu's army, and let them follow the army."

"With a plan to attack the heart, force Yuan Shu to abandon the army and flee."

Guan Yu understood, and rode his horse and shouted: "Fellow villagers, this marquis is ordered by his brother to cut down the crime and hang the people. Just to destroy the thieves, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"However, the battlefield is ruthless, the sword has no eyes, and it is difficult for Ben Hou to distinguish who is good and who is a bandit."

"Yuan Shu is fleeing to Shouchun, and Ben Hou wants to lead his troops to pursue it."

"If you folks, as well as your father and brother in Yuan Shu's army, you can go with Ben Hou."

"Ben Hou promises that as long as the fathers and brothers of all the villagers no longer work for Yuan Shu, Ben Hou will treat them equally and will not pursue their crimes of being thieves."

"Is there a bold person who follows Benhou?"

Guan Yu's voice was loud and pointed directly at the hearts of the people.

This group of old and weak soldiers who were abandoned by Yuan Shu were shocked again.

And this time, no one questioned it.

A boy about ten years old jumped out: "Boy Zhou Jing, I am willing to follow the prince!" ”

Guan Yu looked at the short and thin young man in front of him, and couldn't help but be moved and angry: "You are so young, you have also been forcibly conscripted into the army. Yuan Shu dog thief, really not a son of man! ”

"Who else is in your family?"

Zhou Jing's eyes were a little lonely: "Back to the prince, the boy's mother starved to death in his early years, his father died in the war two years ago, and his brother was conscripted into the army at the beginning of the year. My brother was worried that I wouldn't survive, so he took me into the barracks. ”

But soon, Zhou Jing's eyes were proud again: "Junhou, my brother is very powerful, he can beat ten at a time." If you take me there, I will definitely be able to persuade my brother to leave Yuan Shu. ”

Guan Yu didn't want Zhou Jing to follow, but he couldn't bear it, and shouted: "Where is Guan Ping!" ”

Guan Ping trotted over and stood in front of Guan Yu's horse: "The child is here!" ”

Guan Yu looked at Yuan Shu's remnants and called out again: "There are children who want to find their father and brother, but they can follow the son of Benhou." ”

Zhou Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly beckoned behind him: "Two dogs, big tigers, three cats, come out quickly, let's go together." ”

All of a sudden, nearly 100 teenagers came out one after another and gathered behind Guan Ping.

Seeing so many young teenagers going to find their fathers and brothers, everyone was even more touched.

Guan Ping also gritted his teeth.

In the past, Guan Yu committed an accident and fled, Guan Ping was still a three-year-old child, and he had been looking for his father with the Hu family for more than ten years, and he understood the pain too well.

"Follow me, find your father and brother!" Guan Ping has been following Guan Yu for a long time, and he knows how to appease this group of teenagers.

With the drive of this group of teenagers, more Yuan Shubing stood up.

They gave up the opportunity to go to a nearby city to receive alms, which also meant giving up the chance to live.

The battlefield is unforgiving.

No one can guarantee that they will survive.

It is more likely that this group of Yuan soldiers was captured again before they could get close to Yuan Shu's military camp, or they were directly shot and slashed to death.

Yuan Shu camp.

A fierce man has already knocked over several soldiers, and he is catching Yuan Shu's general, Le, and beat him violently.

The hideous eyes seemed to devour people.

While beating, the fierce man roared angrily: "Why, you want to abandon the remnants of the barracks!" ”

Le was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and defended aggrievedly: "It's none of my business!" It was Yuan Gong who said that he wanted the old and weak soldiers in the general to gather and break off. ”

"I didn't have time to inform your brother."

The fierce man roared down with another punch: "That's my brother, my only brother!" You didn't have time to inform my brother, why didn't you tell me in advance! ”

Le didn't dare to speak.

Because he knew that the fierce man in front of him was not afraid of death.

If this fierce man runs to find his brother, there will be no warriors to protect him and make meritorious contributions for himself.

If this fierce man's brother dies, then he can only follow himself in the future.

So Le not only did not notify the fierce man's brother, but also deliberately let people stare at it to ensure that the general's brother was cut off with the remnant barracks.

However, Le seems to have overestimated his personality.

In the eyes of this fierce man, the guard is happy, just because of Le, he can let his brother have an errand in the remnant camp without going to the battlefield.

However, what the fierce man didn't expect was.

An errand that he did not have to go to the battlefield for his brother did harm his brother.

"Atai, stop first, and if you fight again, you'll die." A strong man walked beside him and grabbed the arm.

Le took off his restraints, rolled to the side like a donkey, and pulled out his saber angrily: "Come on, take down the traitors Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin for Ben General!" ”

Zhou Tai was furious: "Le, you are looking for death!" ”

Jiang Qin, who persuaded the fight, was also stunned on the spot.

I'll persuade you to fight, and you will arrest me together?

"General Le, what do you mean by that?" Jiang Qin's face was gloomy.

Le sneered: "Who in this camp doesn't know that you have the best relationship with Zhou Tai?" Ben is going to kill Zhou Tai, will you help? I just cut you both together. ”

"It just so happens that Yuan Gong also wants to rectify military discipline, so he will take the two of you to correct military law."

Jiang Qin spat and said angrily: "I'm bah! You are also worthy of purging military discipline! ”

Le laughed: "Zhou Tai, let you die clearly." Ben will deliberately not inform your brother, but it is estimated that he has become Guan Yu's ghost at this time. ”

Zhou Tai's face became even more gloomy, he gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Le, today is either you die or I die!" Kill! ”

The angry Zhou Tai rushed towards Le Tai like a bull, but Le didn't fight Zhou Tai at all, and retreated directly behind the pro-soldiers.

"Get out of the way!"

Zhou Tai is like a tiger, slashing left and right.

Even if he was hit by a sword and blood flowed, he didn't seem to feel pain.

"Maniac!"

Le was frightened in his heart and retreated.

"Ah Tai, don't fight hard, Ah Jing may not die." Jiang Qin saw that the situation was getting more and more critical, and hurriedly grabbed Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai stared fiercely at Le Yu, who was hiding in the depths of his own soldiers.

If eyes could kill people, Le would have died a thousand times.

"Let's just take your dog's head in the future!" Zhou Tai no longer fell in love with war, fought and retreated with Jiang Qin, and fought all the way out of the barracks.

Bandaging the wound, Zhou Tai knelt down in the direction of Xia Cai, with tears in his eyes: "Father, the child is incompetent and has failed to protect his brother." ”

Jiang Qin said with relief: "Atai, I have heard that Qingzhou Xuande Gong is benevolent and virtuous, and he is a rare benevolent and righteous person in the world. ”

"After Yuan Shu's dog thief was crippled by old and weak, although it was infuriating, that Guan Yu was the righteous brother of Xuande Gong, and he would not have slaughtered a group of old and weak soldiers."

"Ah Jing may not die."

"When Guan Yu's soldiers and horses pass by, we will capture a lone soldier, and we will know as soon as we ask."

Zhou Tai clenched his fists and said: "If Guan Yu really kills my brother, I will also drag him to be buried when I die." ”

After raising for two days, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin finally waited for Guan Yu's soldiers and horses.

Looking at the heavily guarded camp, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin gritted their teeth and took advantage of the night to touch the soldiers on duty at the gate of the camp.

However, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin enlisted in the army for too short a time and did not know the variables of Guan Yu's camp.

As soon as the soldiers on duty at the gate of the camp were knocked down, they were detected by the secret sentinel.

The one who patrolled tonight happened to be Koji Yoshi, who had arrived in the camp first.

A burst of crossbow arrows directly blocked Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's retreat.

"Report!"

"Prince, there are thieves who will peep into the camp! General Koji wanted to capture him alive, but the thief general captured our soldiers and asked to see the prince by name. ”

"General Koji can't judge the identity of the other party, please go and recognize it."

In the tent, Guan Yu, who was studying "Lu's New Book", heard the soldier's report.

"Who does the other person call himself? What's the matter with finding Benhou? ”

"Zhou Tai, a Cai person under Jiujiang, and Jiang Qin, a Jiujiang Shouchun person. That Zhou Tai said that he was here to find his brother. ”

"Huh?"

Guan Yu narrowed Danfeng's eyes, and had a guess in his heart: it must have been Yuan Shu who broke the old and weak soldiers and annoyed this Zhou Tai.

Thinking of this, Guan Yu sent someone to summon Guan Ping and asked him to gather all the teenagers under his command at the gate of the camp.

Not much.

Guan Yu was in a green robe and a green shirt, and rode his horse to the gate of the camp.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were back to back, holding a soldier hostage in their hands, and when they saw Guan Yu coming, they subconsciously tensed their nerves.

"Prince, if you can accept it, these two people will be in the infantry camp." Koji said in a low voice.

Guan Yu instantly understood.

Koji has always been arrogant, and he has extremely strict requirements for the soldiers of the infantry battalion, preferring shortage to abundance.

With the combat strength of Koji Yi and the infantry soldiers of the first camp, there is no need to agree to Zhou Tai Jiang Qin's conditions at all, just capture them directly.

The reason why Guan Yu was allowed to come was because he saw the potential of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and he didn't want Tian Yu of the cavalry battalion to rob him.

If Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are captured, they may not be willing to come to the foot camp.

"Let's talk about it after asking." Guan Yu looked at Zhou Tai Jiang Qin, and there was more undoubted majesty in his tone: "Let Ben Hou's soldiers go, Ben Hou can spare your life." If you don't let go, you won't be killed. ”

Guan Yu is not a hypocrisy.

Although it is understandable for Zhou Tai to come to find his brother, this is a military camp.

trespassed into the barracks and captured Guan Yu's soldiers, how could Guan Yu succumb?

The red rabbit horse snorted, and the pair of horse eyes that looked at Zhou Tai also seemed to be disdainful.

Zhou Tai gritted his teeth, let go of the soldiers, and bowed to Guan Yu: "Villain Zhou Tai, I have seen Guan Junhou." ”

Guan Yu glanced at it coldly: "Trespassing into the barracks and capturing Sergeant Benhou, are you guilty?" ”

Zhou Tai said fearlessly: "If Adi is still here, the villain is willing to be punished; If Ah Di dies in the soldiers of the prince, the villain can only fight to the death! ”

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful hair and secretly praised Zhou Tai's courage, but his tone was still cold: "Ben Hou will not kill the old and weak." ”

I'm talking.

A young man rushed over, it was Zhou Jing who heard the news: "Brother, is it you?" ”

"Brother!" Zhou Tai was overjoyed when he heard this.

Zhou Jing ran to Zhou Tai, snatched the knife from Zhou Tai's hand, threw it on the ground, and then kowtowed to Guan Yu to plead guilty: "Junhou, this is the villain's brother Zhou Tai." ”

"I beg the prince to spare his life! The villain is willing to take the blame for his brother. ”

Zhou Tai saw that Zhou Jing appeared here safe and sound, and no matter how dull he was, he knew what was going on.

Seeing this, Zhou Tai sighed secretly, knelt down on one knee, and pleaded guilty to Guan Yu: "The villain has made a big mistake by trespassing into the barracks and capturing the prince and the marquis in vain. ”

"The villain bears this crime with all his might, Jiang Qin helps the villain for righteousness, and asks Guan Junhou to forgive Jiang Qin."

Jiang Qin was shocked: "Atai, since I dare to accompany you, I never thought of leaving alive." Guan Junhou, the villain is willing to accept the guilt with Atai. ”

"Father." Guan Ping approached Guan Yu and was a little unbearable.

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful hair, quietly watched Zhou Tai and the three of them take each other's blame, and nodded secretly.

"Bowei, I'll leave it to you, beat twenty military sticks, and then come to the handsome tent to see Ben Hou." Guan Yu instructed Ko Yi, and then rode back.

Lu Yi was secretly happy, and looked at Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin solemnly: "Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, although the two of you trespassed into the military camp, although it is excusable, but after all, you violated our military law." ”

"The prince is benevolent and righteous, only punish the two of you for twenty military sticks each, are you willing to be punished?"

For such a big crime, only twenty military sticks will be punished, what else is there to be unconvinced?

"Zhou Tai is willing to be punished!"

"Jiang Qin is willing to be punished!"
