Leisure time is always so scarce, even if he is reluctant to give up, Wen Zhao still let Liu Bei and Zhang Fei go back. As for Guan Yu, he was ready to follow Wen Zhao's fleet and return to his hometown by the way.

Before leaving, Wen Zhao held Chen Qun's hand and said earnestly: "Uncle Immortal is gone, and my brother knows that my brother is sad. However, if there is a big chaos today, there are still many places in Guanzhong that need to rely on their brothers. ”

"If my brother's mind calms down a little, I hope I can help my brother."

Chen Qun said: "Thanks to the lord's weight, the group dares not to serve the death force? It's just that a certain person is in turmoil now, and he can't help the lord deal with government affairs, and I hope the lord will forgive me. ”

"After a while, the group will rush back to Pusaka to help the lord."

The two whispered for a long time before they shed tears and said goodbye. Gan Ning carried Wen Zhao and others in a warship and drove west along the Yellow River.

The speed of the warship going upriver was naturally much slower than that of going downstream, and the time it took was twice as long as when it went to Yangwu.

Seeing that there was only one day left before Pusaka, Wen Zhao suddenly asked Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, I only know that you are from Hedong County, which county is your ancestral hometown?" ”

In fact, for Guan Yu's hometown, Wen Zhao has long known that it is a good person from Hedong.

However, when Wen Zhao occupied Guanzhong and set the capital of Puban, he found that Hedong County did not have the county seat of Xie Liang at all. According to the distribution of counties in the past, Pusaka is also under the jurisdiction of Hedong County.

Since the capital is set in Hedong County, Wen Zhao is naturally familiar with the county seat of Hedong County. He inquired for a long time, but he didn't hear about Xie Liang's place.

As a result, Chen Xu was a little confused about the ancestral home of Guan Yu, who was famous in history.

Guan Yu replied: "A certain is a native of Xie County, Hedong, and it is not too far from the capital Puban. ”

Wen Zhao lowered his head and muttered to himself: "Xie County?" ”

Xie Liang does not have this place in Hedong County, but there is really Xie County.

Moreover, Guan Yu personally admitted that he was a member of Xie County, and it seems that there was something wrong with the records of later generations, or it may be that Xie County later changed its name to Xie Liang.

However, these are not what Wen Zhao needs to care about.

Xie County is only a day's journey from Pusaka, and after the fleet arrives in Pusaka, Wen Zhao wants to accompany Guan Yu to Xie County to visit Guan Yu's wife and children.

But he didn't want to be rejected by Guan Yu, he opened his mouth and said: "The general is busy with official business, and he has every opportunity, how can he bother the general because of a certain person's private affairs?" ”

Wen Zhao saw that Guan Yu's attitude was very resolute, and immediately said: "Since this is the case, I will let Gongming go with Yun Chang." ”

Wealth does not return to the hometown, just like a brocade night walk.

The reason why Chen Xu is like this is that he also wants Guan Yu to return to his hometown in style, so that his neighbors can know that Guan Yu has already made a name for himself.

Even though he knew that it was very unlikely that Guan Yu would abandon Liu Bei, Wen Zhao still tried his best to be kind to him.

Xu Huang is also a native of Hedong County, who is decent and brave, and his friendship with Guan Yu is even more extraordinary. Since Guan Yu refused to accompany him to his hometown, Wen Zhao retreated and wanted Xu Huang to accompany Guan Yu.

Chen Xu's thoughts, Guan Yu is naturally like watching the fire. In fact, in his heart, he also felt heartfelt admiration for this man who was born in poverty, but was able to lay a great foundation.

Wen Zhao spared no effort to be kind to him and win over his own thoughts, and Guan Yu naturally understood it very well.

However, even though Guan Yu was very moved in his heart, he still retained his persistence. Since he recognized Liu Bei as the main one in Zhuo County, he was destined to never turn to others again for the rest of his life.

Guan Yu is an extremely proud person, he never wants to owe favors to others, so he did not hesitate to reject Wen Zhao's suggestion again and insisted on returning to his hometown alone.

It is true that if Chen Xu or Xu Huang, the general of Guanzhong, accompany him back to his hometown, it is indeed a very face-saving thing.

However, the proud Guan Yu was unwilling to owe favors to others, and he was unwilling to use the power of others to return to his hometown to show off his might. Therefore, he finally borrowed only one war horse from Wen Zhao and rushed home.

It wasn't until Guan Yu rode away that Wen Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "Such a loyal and brave general, it's a pity that he can't be used by me." ”

Chen Gong said: "Since Wen Zhao wants to recruit this person, why not lure him with high-ranking officials?" ”

In front of everyone, Chen Gong naturally would not call Wen Zhao directly, but in private, Chen Xu strongly asked Chen Gong to call him so.

Not only Chen Gong, but also Chen Qun, Chen Jing, Chen Hu, and Chen Qing, they also called Wen Zhao 'Lord Gong' in front of the public. Privately, however, this is not the case.

Chen Xu looked at the back that was gradually drifting away, sighed and said: "If this person can change his original intention because of the high-ranking official Houlu, it will not be Guan Yu, and it is not worthy of my hard work." ”

Guan Yu's charm lies not only in his bravery that few people have enemies, but more importantly in his loyalty to Liu Bei. Guan Yu, who changed the flag, was not the martial saint that people loved.

Wen Zhao knew this very well, but out of his love for Guan Yu and the habit of forming kindness and righteousness, he naturally did these things.

"I'm lucky, I'm sorry, let's all go back."

On the official road, Guan Yu rode on a war horse, anxious to rush home.

Eighteen years, after eighteen years, Guan Yu finally set foot on the road home again. Since killing the local Haoqiang eighteen years ago, he left behind his wife Hu and his young son, who was not yet two years old, and began to die in exile.

It was not until the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out three years later that Guan Yu was able to follow Liu Bei in the south and the north openly.

Although Guan Yu was able to take his wife and children a long time ago. However, he also knows that now that it is a troubled time, the lord Liu Bei still has no stable territory.

In the troubled times, Guan Yu can rely on the big knife in his hand to crisscross thousands of troops. However, if they take their wives and children with them, it will be very difficult for them to escape after the defeat of the army.

It is with these in mind that although Guan Yu used to send letters to his family, he never went home to visit his wife and children, nor did he take them over.

"Drive!" Guan Yu struggled to whip the buttocks of the war horse, and secretly thought, "Ah Ping is already twenty years old, and he is about to reach the crown, right?" Without me teaching him martial arts, I don't know if Ah Ping can inherit my mantle? ”

Guan Ping is not as recorded in the romance, but Guan Yu's adopted son. In fact, Guan Ping is Guan Yu's eldest son.

In a small village in Xie County, Guan Ping was shirtless, sweating like rain and exercising martial arts.

Hu Shi looked at his son, who had grown up, with a happy smile on his face. Suddenly, he thought of her husband, who had disappeared for nearly twenty years, and a gloomy look suddenly appeared on his face.

Although Guan Yu asked someone to send a letter to his family, but now that there are endless wars in various parts of the world, it is extremely difficult to transmit information, in fact, the Hu family has not received a letter at all.

Now Guan Yu has no reputation, and the Hu family, who has been living in his hometown, naturally cannot know the news of his husband.

Touching her somewhat dry hair, Hu pulled off one of the white hairs, which made her frown slightly.

Over the years, it has indeed been very difficult for her to carry her children alone. Especially before Wen Zhao entered the customs, Hedong County was in constant turmoil, and the life of the mother and son was extremely difficult.

It wasn't until Wen Zhao entered the customs that a series of policies for the benefit of the people were promulgated, and the life of the family was much better. And as Guan Ping gets bigger and bigger, he has gradually become the pillar of the family.

"Ho!"

I saw Guan Ping roar angrily, and the big knife in his hand flew up and down, cutting a very thick tree into eight even parts.

Seeing this, Hu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You kid, why are you chopping wood with a big knife again?" If you break the knife, where can I buy another one? ”

The living conditions of the family were not good, if it weren't for the government's good treatment of the people, so that the Hu family had saved some money over the years, I am afraid that they would not be able to afford this big knife.

She also saw that her children liked to practice martial arts very much, so she couldn't bear to spend a lot of money to buy such a knife.

The Hu clan didn't know martial arts, so naturally he didn't know how difficult it was for Guan Ping to use a big knife to cut trees into eight even parts in an instant. She was just worried that the expensive big knife would be cut down.

Guan Ping looked at the firewood scattered on the ground, and his face showed an excited look. After hearing his mother's reprimand, he said a little embarrassed: "Mother, I won't do this next time." ”

Hearing his son's assurance, Hu's face looked much better. She picked up a towel, handed it to Guan Ping, and said, "Wipe your sweat." ”

Guan Ping wiped the beads of sweat off his body, and after putting on his clothes, he said solemnly to Hu: "Mother, I will be crowned next year, but there are no elders in the family to take the table for me." ”

"I heard that the children of ordinary people can be admitted to Taixue, and there will be gentlemen in the academy who will give us the table words."

"Now that I'm grown up, when Taixue enrolls students again, I want to apply for the Taixue Military Branch. I don't know what my mother thinks, is this feasible? ”

Hu Shi looked stunned and said, "Our family has nothing to do with it, can you be admitted?" ”

Guan Ping patted his chest and said: "The Taixue founded by the lord, as long as anyone has the ability can apply for the exam, there is no distinction between rich and poor. And I've heard that it's more difficult for the children of those families to apply for the military branch than the civilians. ”

When Hu Shi heard this, he said: "Anyway, Pusaka is not far from here, if you really want to try it then, it doesn't hurt." ”

Guan Ping's face was even more joyful, and he said: "Mother, I must be admitted to the Taixue Military Branch, fight for the Lord and fight in all directions, and have a good future!" ”

"You can't serve the general, you have to go to Yuzhou with me."

At this moment, a deep voice sounded, and I saw Guan Yu leading the war horse, and I don't know when he had come to the door.

Guan Ping saw that this person broke in without knocking on the door, and immediately became furious. He waved the big knife in his hand and shouted, "Who are you, why did you trespass on a certain family yard?" ”
