Pang Tong besieged Fancheng, and Liu Bei walked through the corridor with the dates, leading the army to Xinye.

Cao Zhen and Sima Yi saw Liu Bei's soldiers, and because of their small soldiers, they retreated to the new field fifty miles to camp and wait for Cao Cao's army.

Hearing Liu Beizhi, Guan Yu strongly supported the arrow wound, put on armor, and led more than ten Chinese martial artists in the city to greet Liu Bei at the city gate.

Guan Yu stood in armor, breathing a little rapidly. The arrow wound on his chest partially healed, but the broken sternum caused him pain almost every day.

Guan Ping saw Guan Yu's brows frowning slightly, and said, "Father, Your Majesty has not arrived today, so you can sit on the chair and rest for a while." ”

Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty is coming to Xinye, and sitting on the chair today is against the etiquette." ”

From Guan Yu's love for his beard, it can be seen from the side that Guan Yu attaches great importance to his demeanor. Today, in order to see Liu Bei, Guan Yu endured the pain, took care of himself, and deliberately put on a heavy armor to maintain his prestige.

In a few moments, the smoke and dust are billowing in front, there is a large number of war horses galloping, and the trees have flags, and their momentum is not small.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Guan Yu spoke, and led everyone to step forward to greet him.

Liu Bei stood on the carriage, holding the wooden railing, wearing gold silk armor, with huge earlobes, looking noble and compelling from a distance, and his actions were very majestic, and he already had the appearance of a king.

"Phew!"

Holding the reins, the horse slowly stopped.

"General Yu greets Your Majesty!" Guan Yu led everyone to bow and said.

"Excuse me!"

Liu Bei got down from the carriage, stepped forward to help Guan Yu, and said, "Yun Chang has an arrow wound, why bother going out of the city to greet him, just let Huaihan act on his behalf." ”

Guan Yu endured the pain, laughed a few times, and said: "Your Majesty is in Xinye, can Yu An not go out of the city to greet him?" ”

Liu Bei beckoned everyone to be polite, took Guan Yu's rough hand, and said with concern: "I heard the letter, Yan Yun was shot with a sharp arrow in his chest, and then the wound burst out due to anger, I don't know how the injury is now?" ”

Guan Yu let Liu Bei pull him and said, "I have to be treated by a doctor, and I don't have to worry about my life for the time being." However, the arrow wound was quite deep, the sternum was broken, and I don't know what will happen in the future! ”

Liu Bei took Guan Yu's hand and was about to get into the car, and said: "Yun Chang has only been a brother for a few months, and now you and I are more than sixty years old. ”

Saying that, Liu Bei looked at everyone and said, "Zhuqing has been fighting for a long time, and it is hard work!" ”

"Obey the king's order!"

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly!"

Liu Bei nodded and smiled, and asked, "Where is Liao Yuanjian, the main book?" ”

"The minister is here!"

Liao Hua stepped out of the queue and replied.

Liu Bei looked at the young Liao Hua, stroked his gray beard, and said with a smile: "I heard the general's words, Qing has a lot of strategies, is stable, and has made a lot of military achievements, so I am very relieved. ”

After thinking for a while, Liu Bei said: "From now on, Qing will be moved to Nanxiang Taishou and temporarily follow his old position." ”

In this Northern Expedition, Liao Hua performed well, admonishing Guan Yu many times, and his temperament was calm. In his letter to Liu Bei, Guan Yu recommended Liao Hua and said that he had a good talent. Liu Bei was as good as a stream, and in order to motivate everyone, he promoted Liao Hua to Nanxiang Taishou on the spot.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liao Hua was overjoyed when he heard this, knelt on the ground and thanked him.

Seeing that Liao Hua was rewarded, everyone was envious and looked at Liu Bei one after another.

Seemingly satisfied with everyone's performance, Liu Bei smiled and said: "The thief has not retreated, I hope you will be reluctant." After the service, I have sealed them one by one. ”

"No!"

Saying that, Liu Bei pulled Guan Yu to the carriage and said, "Yun Chang and accompany his brother to ride into the city!" ”

Seeing the luxurious Son of Heaven riding in the car, Guan Yu pointed to the gorgeous umbrella cover made of Shu brocade, and said with a smile: "Brother has all the words of the past!" ”

"Haha!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei smiled proudly and said, "My brother has been a child, but only Chief Yun is missing to accompany my brother to drive in this car." ”

Liu Bei got into the car first, stretched out his hand and pulled Guan Yu into the car.

The carriage moved slowly, Liu Bei put his hand on the railing, and said with a smile: "Yun Chang's Northern Expedition this time, small moves, big grams, breaking Cao Ren in Zhushui, descending outside the ban." When my brother heard this, he sighed with joy, thinking that Yun Chang's honor was enough to last forever, and it would be comparable to the division of Jin Wen Chengpu and the strategy of Huaiyin Zhao. ”

"Brother False Praise!"

Seeing Liu Bei comparing himself to Han Xin, Guan Yu's eyebrows gradually opened, but remembering the loss of Wancheng, he said: "The thief is treacherous, and the defeat of Wancheng in the past is the fault of my brother!" ”

Liu Bei stroked Guan Yu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Yun Chang was temporarily defeated in Wancheng, but it was for Xu Huang to be cunning and harm him with love. Today, Yun has been guarding Xinye for a long time, Xu Huang was injured by arrows, and Cao Zhen's soldiers and horses were retreated. If you can go down to Xiangfan today, it will all depend on the merits of Yun Chang! ”

If the Southern Han Dynasty can go down to Xiangfan, needless to say, the person who made the first contribution must be Guan Yu.

Guan Yu smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, obviously he was quite satisfied with Liu Bei's praise. After all, Liu Bei is not better than others, he is not only his brother, but also the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, and his certification is very crucial.

After a pause, Liu Bei blinked his eyes and asked, "Yun Chang is now a general, what reward should he ask for, but it doesn't hurt to say it?" ”

Guan Yu hesitated a little and said: "Today's war is scorching, Xiangfan has not yet been released, and it is probably too early to reward the official position at this time!" ”

"Nothing!"

Liu Bei was in a very good mood and said confidently: "Today, there is Ziming to dedicate Zhang He, and there is Shiyuan to surround Fancheng. At the moment, even if Cao Cao raises the people of China, there is nothing he can do, I will have Xiangfan! ”

Don't blame Liu Bei for opening champagne in the half, but in terms of the current situation, Liu Bei must win Xiangyang. Cao Cao was invincible and could drive Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Pang Tong to Hannan to relieve the siege of Fancheng.

However, Cao Cao has no water division, Liu Bei guards the mountain danger, Cao Cao wants to relieve the siege of Xiangyang, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, Liu Bei can take Xiangyang through time grinding. Once the Southern Han Dynasty had Xiangyang, with the unique relationship between Xiangfan and the mother city, Fancheng would inevitably belong to the Southern Han Dynasty.

Unless Liu Bei, Lü Meng, and Pang Tong can send away all the troops, the soldiers and horses of the Southern Han Dynasty will all be lost here. But this probability is very low, no less than the probability of a meteorite falling from the sky.

Guan Yu felt pain in his chest, coughed a few times, and said, "Although my brother is close to my brother, I really don't dare to seek an official for myself. ”

Seeing Guan Yu's postponement, Liu Bei smiled and said, "That being the case, how can the general of the chariot and cavalry be like that?" ”

"General Che Rider?"

Guan Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Dare to ask my brother, why is this official?" ”

"In the past, it was said that the senior meritorious person was a hussar general, and now Yunchang is a general, and he has immortal merits, and now he can be promoted as a general of the chariot and cavalry."

Liu Bei stroked his beard and said: "The general of the chariot and the general of the cavalry is the same rank as the general and the general of the hussar, but the rank is high and low, which is higher than the general and slightly lower than the general of the hussar, what is it?" ”

"Since I am a general of the rook and a general, and Na Yide is a general of the chariot, I am afraid that there will be a lot of inappropriateness." Guan Yu had something to say and said.

"This matter is easy!"

Liu Bei was very bold and said: "The heir will marry Yide's eldest daughter, and Yide can be named a general." ”

Liu Bei has a heavy habit of being a ranger, and he is never constrained by etiquette. Now he feels that he has become the emperor, and he should share the wealth with his brother who has been fighting for many years.

Now Guan Yu has meritorious achievements, and he is immediately promoted. If it weren't for Huo Jun's noble exploits to suppress Guan Yu, he would probably have made Guan Yu the Great Sima.

As for why Liu Bei didn't crown Huo Jun as the Great Sima, the reason is simple. He, Guan and Zhang are both old, and Huo Jun and Zhuge Liang are young, so they will be the objects of his trust.

Before Liu Beiruo, Huo Jun was named the Great Sima, and it was not said that Huo Jun would have new military exploits in the future. After Liu Chan ascended to the throne, he always had to consider one or two.

The empty hanging Sima was not appointed, and he tossed out the rank of hussar and chariot general to reward his subordinates, which shows Liu Bei's painstaking efforts.

Guan Yu was in a happy mood and said with a smile: "When Yide hears it, he will definitely be happy!" ”

"Humph!"

Liu Bei scolded with a smile and said, "I'm afraid that Yide is not happy with the general, but he can be happy with drinking." ”

"Brother, Yide went out of Hanzhong and the Northern Expedition, is there a battle report?" Guan Yu asked.

Hearing this, Liu Bei sighed melancholy and said: "Brother Yide and Boyan sent troops, but on the eve of the army, Xingba died of gout attack in Nanzheng. Bo Yan took care of Bashu and transferred to Fucheng to organize the funeral of Xingba. After Yide worshiped and cried, he led his soldiers and horses out of Yangping and confronted Ma Chao in Wudu. ”

"Xingba died of illness?"

Guan Yu's expression was slightly sad, and he said: "Xingba and Yide are the same age, how can they go before a certain one today?" ”

After Gan Ning was put into Liu Bei's account, he had a very good relationship with the three brothers. However, the person with the most harmonious relationship is Zhang Fei. Zhang and Gan both like to read the scriptures, although they do not learn well, they have a common language, and they have a similar temperament, and they both love to drink.

Now that Gan Ning has passed away, Zhang Fei is the most sad, and Liu and Guan are sad and sad.

Liu Bei looked at the approaching Xinye City and said sadly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are common feelings. I have ordered someone to posthumously crown Xingba as a hussar general and pursue the Marquis of Zhuang. ”

Guan Yu, who showed his strength, sighed with a wistful face, and said lightly: "Strong is Xingba, if so!" If yes! ”
