"Congratulations to my brother for having a noble son, this is great news!"

Liu Yu got off the carriage in front of the Hanzhong Palace, ordered Master Li to wait in the car, and took Shi Wengong into the mansion accompanied by Du Ruhui and Wei Wentong. Seeing Liu Bei come out with a spring breeze on his face, he hurriedly strode a few steps forward and bowed his hand.

"Haha...... Deyu is here? Rejoice and rejoice, in the future, your virtuous nephew will need your uncle to assist him wholeheartedly! Liu Bei stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Liu Yu's shoulder, looking like he was reunited after a long absence.

At that moment, Liu Bei led the way and led Liu Yu to the backyard to visit the two sisters-in-law and Adou, while Du Ruhui, Wei Wentong, Shi Wengong and others stayed in the living room to drink tea accompanied by Jian Yong, who had a close relationship with Liu Bei and was equivalent to Liu Bei's housekeeper.

Liu Yu greeted Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Wu warmly, and hugged Adou and teased him, like a kind uncle, while Liu Bei stood aside with a smile and observed Liu Yu's behavior.

"Someone, send a congratulatory gift!" After the greetings, Liu Yu turned around and ordered.

As a member of the town guard, Liu Yu definitely couldn't come to Chengdu empty-handed, so he carefully arranged a generous gift before leaving. In addition to the valuable gold and silver treasures, there are also women's favorite jade jewelry, silk and rouge and other gifts, which only coaxed Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Wu into a daze, and thanked them again and again, "Let my uncle break the bank!" ”

"Huh...... If Deyu can come to congratulate his brother, the foolish brother will be satisfied, why bother to spend so much? Seeing that Liu Yu and Gan Wu were chatting about the same, Liu Bei and Liu Yu left the backyard side by side and went straight to the vestibule.

Liu Yu smiled: "The younger brother hasn't seen the two sisters-in-law for a long time. My heart is full of thoughts, how can I come empty-handed? Brothers don't have to be jealous. The younger brother also prepared a generous gift for you, guaranteeing that the brother would be satisfied. ”

"Oh...... And a gift from my brother? Liu Bei asked with a smile.

Liu Yu said in a tricky way: "Not bad." The younger brother did prepare a generous gift for the elder brother, but please allow the younger brother to sell a pass, and let the elder brother look at it after everyone disperses. ”

Liu Bei has time and patience, since Liu Yu wants to sell Guanzi, he will wait and see patiently.

At that moment, he came to the vestibule with Liu Yu and instructed Jian Yong to summon Fang Xuanling, Zhang Song, Wu Yi and other important ministers of Bashu to accompany him and wash the dust for Liu Yu. Compared with Guan Yu coming to Bashu some time ago, Liu Bei led his ministers to welcome him for twenty miles, and the specifications dropped a lot when the people welcomed him.

During this time, Guan Yu's "condition" has improved. There is no other reason, after Liu Bei stopped taking the medicine, Guan Yu will naturally recover slowly, but the seal ribbon has already been handed over, and Liu Bei will not be able to mention Guan Yu if he does not open his mouth. What's more, Guan Yu's current focus is on reconciling the conflict between Liu Bei and Liu Wei, and he is bent on turning hostility into jade, so he doesn't care who Liu Bei plans to give his military power.

Guan Yu has a proud personality and is very self-aware, although he has a general relationship with Liu Yu, he was snubbed on such an occasion. It will definitely displease Guan Yu, so Liu Bei sent Sun Qian to the post house to invite Guan Yu to the palace for a banquet.

The night was dark, and when the lights were on, all the guests had arrived, and Liu Bei ordered a feast. Under the singing and dancing of the beauties, the civil and military forces pushed the cups and changed the glasses, and talked about the wine.

After Liu Yu drank a glass, he realized that he didn't see Fazheng: "Huh." Why didn't you see Fa Xiaozhi and General Chen Zhi? ”

Liu Bei replied with a smile: "The grain and grass in the Yide army are stretched, so I asked Fa Xiaozhi and Chen Shuzhi to escort the grain and grass to Yide." ”

Liu Bei said that he asked Fa Zheng and Chen Zhi to send grain and grass to Zhang Fei. Actually, reinforcements went. Since the beginning of the spring, Chen Zhi has recruited 15,000 new troops in Langzhong, Badong and other places; And Liu Bei went to southern Sichuan some time ago. He also recruited troops from Zhuti and Yuewang counties to borrow troops from the barbarians, and made do with 10,000 people, quietly assembled in Jiangzhou, led by Fa Zheng and Chen Zhi, and went down the river to the public security to reinforce Zhang Fei.

In the eyes of Liu Bei and his staff, since they have already sent troops to form a bond with Liu Wei, it is impossible to turn the war into a jade silk, and only Guan Yu will be obsessed with the word "loyalty".

Although Guan Yu did not move his troops, Zhang Fei fought several battles with Zhuge Liang, Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun, killing Zhang Yun, the general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, not to mention, and even confronted Liu Wei head-on. Even if Liu Wei swore that he would not be to blame in the past, who would dare to believe the words of the Son of Heaven?

Even if Liu Bei is willing to shake hands with the Son of Heaven and make peace, the ministers of Bashu will not agree, there is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened, and if it is reversed, how can it be changed when it is said to change? It's better to go one way to the black, become a king and lose a villain, if you win, you will be prosperous and rich, the founder of the country, and if you lose, you will be incognito, and you will die in the world.

The bamboo silk orchestra on the wine feast, the beauties sang and danced, they were happy, the generals were drinking to their heart's content, and there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in front of the palace. Everyone couldn't help but change their faces, knowing that there was an urgent military situation coming, and they stopped the noise immediately.

"Report ......"

The scout entered the palace in a long tone, and went straight to the door of the banquet hall and knelt down to report: "King Qi, the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty has sent Ma Chao and Sun Bin to lead tens of thousands of horses to leave Jiangling to attack the south of Xiangyang from the back, and it seems that the Eastern Han army will launch a general attack on Xiangyang in a short time." ”

After listening to the scout's report, there was an uproar in the living room: "Oops...... If Xiangyang is broken, Sun Ce will lose his vitality greatly, and the Eastern Han army will take Jingnan in one go. If Sun Ce is destroyed, sooner or later the Eastern Han Dynasty army will go straight to Bashu, and it is necessary to urgently send troops to reinforce Sun Ce and try to relieve the siege of Xiangyang! ”

Listening to the discussion of the civil and military forces, Guan Yu looked melancholy, and suddenly understood that it was almost impossible to turn war into jade silk.

It seems that this is not Liu Bei's will alone, after Zhang Fei and the Eastern Han army started a war, Liu Bei's civil and military forces knew that there was no way out, and they were afraid that Liu Wei would settle accounts after entering Bashu, so he was determined to fight against the Eastern Han Dynasty to the end, and wanted to persuade them, which was no different from a fool's dream!

Moreover, Liu Wei had promised himself before that he would not use troops against Sun Ce before he returned to Jingzhou, but now I don't know if Liu Wei forgot his original promise or lost his patience, and it seems that he is going to attack Xiangyang. In addition, Liu Wei did not send Sun Shangxiang to Bashu, but put Sun Shangxiang back to Xiangyang, which was also quite unexpected by Guan Yu, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know whether to believe Liu Bei or Liu Wei?

At this moment, Guan Yu suddenly felt like a child, facing the bison with two horns, but he couldn't help but want to separate them, or even get back together, it was really ridiculous!

"The foolish brother has just recovered from his illness, and he is not strong enough to drink, so he has temporarily resigned!" Guan Yu got up suddenly, didn't wait for Liu Bei to say anything, and left.

After Guan Yu left, the full hall of civil and military affairs discussed even more unscrupulously how to rescue Sun Ce, and must help Sun Ce hold Xiangyang. Only if Xiangyang is preserved can Jingnan be saved, and only when Jingnan is preserved, can Bashu have a barrier and an alliance that depends on each other.

Du Ruhui arched his hand and said: "Xiangyang is in an emergency, I am afraid that I will not be able to solve the siege of Xiangyang only by relying on General Zhang San's soldiers and horses, so I must dispatch a general to Shangyong to lead the soldiers and horses of Guan Hou to attack Yue Fei's back and rescue Xiangyang." ”

"What Lord Du said is extremely true, the soldiers and horses of Shangyong are only one or two hundred miles away from Yue Fei's camp, and it is time to send troops." Under the leadership of Zhang Song and Huang Quan, everyone unanimously agreed with Du Ruhui's proposal.

"But who should be sent to command the army?" Liu Bei hesitated, and after taking back the military power from Guan Yu, it dragged on for seven or eight days, and still did not find a suitable candidate.

"I propose that General Liu Deyu go to Shangyong to sit in town!" Wei Wentong stood up and recommended Liu Yu, "I heard that Liu Deyu trained the elite soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, and he is the cousin of the king, except for General Deyu, there is no one who can take on this important task." ”

"Hmm...... I also think that General Deyu is worthy of a great responsibility! Du Ruhui had to agree.

Liu Yu happily got up and saluted Liu Bei and the generals: "Brother, generals, in order to defend Bashu and curb the expansion of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Yu is willing to go to the front line in person and lead his troops to relieve the siege of Xiangyang." Although I went to the soup and went to the fire, I didn't give up! ”

Liu Yu's ability Liu Bei naturally knows it, but the previous warning of Fa Zheng is still in his ears, and the people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, which really makes Liu Yu in power, God knows if it will fulfill Fa Zheng's worries?

"Hanzhong is rich, and it is a strategic point, its status is not under Chengdu, if you transfer Deyu to Shangyong to lead the troops and horses, who should be allowed to guard Hanzhong?" Liu Bei was in a dilemma and hesitated.

Liu Yu arched his hand and said: "Please ask my brother to send another Taishou to Hanzhong to sit in the town, and the younger brother will raise another brigade from Hanzhong to join Shangyong's soldiers and horses to relieve the siege of Xiangyang." ”

Liu Yu dared to say this, he had already made a bamboo in his heart, the soldiers and horses in the entire Hanzhong were recruited by himself, and the officials and officials in the entire Hanzhong were appointed by himself, even if Liu Bei went in person, he could also put him in the air. As long as Guan Yu's military power can be won over, he can greatly increase his strength.

Fang Xuanling bowed his head and said: "What General Deyu said is true, the king doesn't have to hesitate anymore, if he misses the opportunity to rescue Xiangyang, it will be too late to regret it!" ”

Since even Fang Xuanling supported it, and he really couldn't draw a general, Liu Bei had no choice but to agree: "Since this is the case, Deyu will lead half of the men and horses from Hanzhong to Shangyong to meet Yunchang's soldiers and horses, echo with the north and south of Yide, and make every effort to relieve the siege of Xiangyang." ”

Liu Yu was overjoyed and arched his hand: "Brother, please rest assured, the younger brother will definitely live up to his mission!" ”

Liu Bei said to Du Ruhui and Wei Wendao: "From Ruhui to Hanzhong as the Taishou, Wentong, you follow Deyu as the deputy general, and go to rescue Xiangyang together!" ”

Du Ruhui and Wei Wentong gave their hands together to receive the order: "Obey the king's orders!" ”

The military situation was urgent, and all the civil and military had no intention of drinking again, so they left one after another.

After everyone left, Liu Yu said to Liu Bei: "Brother don't worry, the younger brother will definitely kill Yue Fei and abandon his armor when he goes to Shangyong this time, and easily relieve the siege of Xiangyang." Let's see what gift my brother has prepared for you, which will surely make my brother leave all his sorrows behind! (To be continued......)
