Chapter 630: If you are not benevolent, you can't be unjust

"Ladies and gentlemen! For our Xuzhou, this time a certain Liu Bei personally led the army to ambush Cao Cao, which is the only opportunity for us to turn our passivity into initiative and defeat Cao Cao. Therefore, after you are ready to leave, everything in Xuzhou will be entrusted to you. There is also a small family, please leave it to you! ”

Liu Bei didn't wait for Guan Yu, who had a complicated expression, to say anything, he stood up and bowed deeply to the generals and strategists present, as if he was parting with everyone in life and death.

"Lord ......"

"Okay, don't worry about it anymore, Bei's mind has been decided, for the sake of the people of Xuzhou, Liu Bei is worth it even if he is broken. Take care, everyone! Liu Bei interrupted some people again, then turned around and strode away.

The generals and some advisers on the Xuzhou side, as well as some representatives of the scholars in Xuzhou, they all looked at each other a little.

Well, in addition to people like Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, Cao Bao, and Guan Yu, there are also a small number of people who are not really towards Liu Bei at all, and there are many people who are based on some interests, they are still sincerely oriented to Liu Bei, and in their hearts, they also hope that Liu Bei can really establish himself in Xuzhou and rule Xuzhou all the time.

For example, at the beginning, some local clans, those Xuzhou wealthy families who were a little worse than the original Chen Deng family and the Mi family, these people, they were not as good as the Chen family and the Mi family, and later Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou During this period of time, they could only rely on the Chen family and the Mi family's snort to live. Therefore, their mentality towards the Chen family and the Mi family is to wish that these two families would decline, so that their families could replace them. And they saw it clearly. Under Cao Cao's rule, Cao Cao still reused Chen Deng and the Mi family brothers, and they had no time to get ahead at all. So. It is better to let Liu Bei be in charge of Xuzhou, and they may have a chance to surpass the Chen and Mi families. Well, among them, there is the Xuzhou wealthy family that married their daughter to Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei reoccupied Xuzhou, the status of the wealthy family in Xuzhou was naturally rising, and this family's situation was naturally rising. It pointed out the direction to the other rich people who were difficult to get ahead. Their family is not like the Chen family and the Mi family, and the direct children in the family are basically equal to nothing. And they have many children in their family, if they can marry their daughter to Liu Bei, then wouldn't it be equivalent to hugging Liu Bei's thigh?

Well. And don't blame them for their poor eyesight. actually thought that holding Liu Bei's thigh would make the family prosperous. After all, their family does not have celebrities and literati like Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, and they have no real vision. They only know how to focus on the immediate interests, and they are a little envious when they see the family that has an in-law relationship with Liu Bei, and the scenery after Liu Bei recaptured Xuzhou.

So, this part of the people. I didn't want Liu Bei to take risks. Heh, they couldn't see through Liu Bei's true plan at all. I thought that Liu Bei was really fighting with Cao Cao for Xuzhou.

In general, it is still a matter of their short-sightedness, and now not only have they failed to see through the real purpose of Liu Bei now leading the army to leave, but they are still worried about Liu Bei.

As soon as Liu Bei left, someone asked worriedly: "Chen, Lord Chen, General Guan, what should I do with this?" How could he let the lord take the risk himself and lead his army to attack Cao Cao's army? Why don't you stop you? ”

"Humph!" Guan Yu was in a depressed mood at the moment, he clearly saw through Liu Bei's real purpose of saying that he would lead the army to ambush Cao Cao's army at this moment, but there was no way to tell everyone that his heart was extremely complicated, so where did he have the heart to care about these scholars in Xuzhou? He snorted coldly and turned to leave the chamber.

Seeing this, Mi Zhu quietly left the meeting hall and chased after Guan Yu.

It was Chen Deng, he coughed lightly twice, and said to the people present: "Ahem, everyone, didn't the lord already arrange the defense of our Xuzhou?" Now that Xiaopei has been lost, Cao Cao's army may arrive when, didn't the lord say it? He is only going for a day, so no matter whether the lord can succeed in attacking Cao Cao's army, we must do our job well, take care of Xuzhou City, and wait for the lord's triumphant return. Okay, let's all disperse, and go about our own business. ”

When everyone heard it, they felt that what Chen Deng said was reasonable, although Liu Bei had personally led the army to leave Xuzhou, but it was just to ambush Cao Cao's army, maybe when he would come back, what are they thinking about now? It's better to plan according to the original plan and be ready to defend the city. If Liu Bei led the army to ambush Cao Cao's army successfully, it would be best to defeat Cao Cao and retreat, if Liu Bei led the army to attack and failed, then it would be the same to return to Xuzhou City to defend it.

And they dispersed.

Chen Deng saw that everyone had dispersed, and hurriedly went to find Guan Yu.

Guan Yu returned directly to his barracks, and when he was upset, he asked someone to bring a pot of wine and drank a few glasses.

You must know that although Guan Yu also likes wine, he will never drink when there is a war, but at this moment, if he doesn't drink a few glasses, it is really difficult to vent his boring mood and the indescribable discomfort in his heart.

As soon as Liu Bei spoke, Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei was afraid, and originally swore that he would live and die with Xuzhou, but when the matter came, when Cao Cao's army was coming, Liu Bei was scared and retreated. What did you say about leading the army to ambush Cao Cao's army? Hehe, that's just a joke, Guan Yu's heart knows very well that Liu Bei is afraid that at this moment, he is afraid that he has already turned around and left Xuzhou by other routes. What are you talking about living and dying with Zhang Fei, now Zhang Fei's life and death are unknown, and you want to find Zhang Fei? Guan Yu now doesn't believe Liu Bei's panicked words.

Of course, whether Liu Bei wants to live and die with Xuzhou, Guan Yu doesn't really care, to be honest, if there is no separation between their brothers, or as before, if the brothers live and die together, no matter what Liu Bei wants, Guan Yu will not have a second word, let alone feel bored in his heart. Xuzhou wants to defend the battle, and if he wants to retreat or leave, he will do his best to support Liu Bei. However, Guan Yu felt that Liu Bei should not first say that he would defend the battle and fight with Cao Cao to the end, and even the third brother Zhang Fei could give up and put Zhang Fei in a certain death. All right. After putting Zhang Fei in a certain situation, now he retreated and fled.

This girl. If it weren't for Zhang Fei having a way out, Guan Yu would know that Zhang Fei should have fled from Xiaopei City by now, and there would be no danger. In case something really happened to Zhang Fei, Guan Yu would probably vomit three liters of blood now. Because, if he had known that Liu Bei was so anticlimactic, he would not have let Zhang Fei stay in Xiaopei and return to Xuzhou with Zhang Fei. In this way, he will not be separated from his third brother Zhang Fei, and he doesn't know where Zhang Fei is now.

Well. That's all for you. Anyway, Guan Yu is now deeply disappointed in Liu Bei. There isn't much to expect from him anymore. Seriously. Liu Bei will run away if he wants to escape, and Guan Yu will not think much about saying anything. However, he was obviously about to flee, but what did he do with him in Xuzhou? Hehe, as soon as Liu Bei left, he took away 20,000 or 30,000 horses in Xuzhou, Guan Yu didn't need to see it, he knew that Liu Bei took it away. It must be all elite military horses. Liu Bei was embarrassed to let them defend in Xuzhou.

The military horses in Xuzhou were originally less than 60,000 military horses. Liu Bei took away 20,000 or 30,000 elite people like this, if Xuzhou is big, how can he defend it? This is the rhythm that made him Guan Yu die? It was Zhang Fei before, but now it's about Guan Yu?

Guan Yu really can't figure it out now, when did Liu Bei become like this, and he could ignore his brother's survival?

Seriously, Guan Yu now, he wants to leave Xuzhou immediately with his military horses, and care about Xuzhou's life and death, anyway, he thinks that under the front of Cao Cao's army, it will be difficult for him to hold Xuzhou anymore.

However, the reason that really made Guan Yu feel extremely bored was that Liu Bei deliberately confessed that he took care of his family in front of a group of military generals and ministers in Xuzhou. Hehe...... Guan Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, Liu Bei is like this, what does it mean?

Guan Yu is loyal and righteous, but he is not stupid in his heart, so he naturally thought of Liu Bei's purpose, this is Liu Bei wants to give him Guan Yu a bond.

Burdened by fame and fortune......

Guan Yu attaches great importance to love and righteousness, has his own perseverance in his heart, and has his own code of conduct, he can't do things that others are unkind to him.

In any case, without confirming that Liu Bei had abandoned Xuzhou, he still had to stay in Xuzhou, and if Liu Bei left as soon as he left on the front foot, then it would give people the impression that he was Guan Yu unkind and unjust. didn't keep the foundation for his brother, and Liu Bei could also use this to push him in the future It was not that he didn't want to fight Cao Cao to the death in Xuzhou, but that Guan Yu abandoned Xuzhou when he led the army to attack Cao Cao, so that he couldn't use Xuzhou to deal with Cao Cao, so he had to flee elsewhere. Well, anyway, if Guan Yu abandons Xuzhou now, Liu Bei will have something to say in the future.

In addition, Liu Bei deliberately let Guan Yu take care of his wife in Xuzhou, which is to say, look, we Liu Bei is not going to abandon Xuzhou, if he really wants to abandon Xuzhou, why don't he take his wife away with him? Well, look at it, my wife has already told your second brother Guan Yu to take care of your brother, you have to help your brother take care of it, in the future, we will ask you again.

Well, anyway, Guan Yu is now, Liu Bei seems to have put a tight spell on him, making him want to stop, and it is difficult to get rid of Liu Bei.

Now, Guan Yu is a little envious of Zhang Fei, because Zhang Fei is now defeated, as long as he doesn't meet Liu Bei again, he can live as he wants, and he doesn't have to have anything to do with Liu Bei.

"Oh, Yun Chang, why do you still have the heart to drink. Why do I always feel that something is wrong, how could Liu Bei suddenly think of leading an army to ambush Cao Cao's army at this juncture? Mi Zhu came to Guan Yu's tent at this moment, opened the tent door, and saw that Guan Yu was drinking without a cup, and couldn't help but step forward to stop Guan Yu who was pouring wine again.

"Hehe, Mr. Mi is here? Come, sit, accompany Guan to have a drink, after today, I don't know when Lu Dao will have a good drink in the future. Guan Yu saw that it was Mi Zhu, stood up, and wanted to invite him to sit down.

"Alas, Yun Chang, what else can Mi have to drink now? It's almost dawn this day, Liu Bei has already led the army to leave, we have to prepare early. Mi Zhu shook his head and declined Guan Yu's kindness.

"Ready? What to prepare? Guan Yu stretched out boredly.

"Let's go, Yun Chang, do you really believe that your eldest brother will really come back to Xuzhou? He has now taken away more than half of our military horses in Xuzhou at once, can Xuzhou still defend it? Mi Zhu said to Guan Yu a little anxiously: "In my opinion, Cao Cao came to Xuzhou City from Xiaopei, it won't take half a day at all, and if you don't leave now, it's too late." ”

"Mr. Mi......" Guan Yu looked at Mi Zhu. With a speechless look, he said, "Do you think I can go?" Liu Bei deliberately left Guan Mou, that is, he knew that I Guan Mou would do things, and there was a beginning and an end. He is unkind, and I cannot be unjust. If I leave now, won't I be infamous against? ”

"Infamy? What's infamy? Mi Zhu paused: "It's just a reputation, Liu Bei can escape, why do you want you and me to wait in Xuzhou to fight to the death with Cao Cao meaninglessly?" Alas, Yun Chang, why do you care too much? ”

"Hehe, I thought that Mr. Mi didn't understand in your heart, it turns out that Mr. Mi's heart is as bright as a mirror." Guan Yu smiled. said: "Mr. Mi, you should also know the Tao, I, Guan Yu, am upright." Worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of his conscience, no matter what Liu Bei's purpose is, but. A certain Guan Yu and him. still has the name of a brother, he entrusted him to keep the foundation, if Guan Mou does not keep it and abandons it, he will not be able to pass this level in his heart in the first place. So ......"

"Mr. Mi, you should go back and prepare now, and spread it to Xiapi first, and when you get to Xiapi, you can quickly write to Luoyang. Ask Lewy what he has to say. If not, then ask him to send someone to pick him up by water, and you will be thrown into Qu'a first. Guan Yu glanced at Mi Zhu deeply and said: "From Xiapi to the east and south, you can get the response of the New Han Army." ”

"Hehe, why should I go? Whether it's Liu Bei or Cao Cao, they shouldn't be able to take Mi Mou, anyway, Mi doesn't care about any reputation now, whoever occupies Xuzhou, we Mi Mou will learn from Chen Deng's shameless guy, and we will vote for whomever it is. In short, we will all be worried about the day when Liu Yi comes to seize Xuzhou. Mi Zhu shook his head with a smile.

"Hmph, it's not your Mi Zizhong's style to speak ill of people behind your back. How can I be shameless? Chen Deng also came at this time, and as soon as he opened the tent door, he pointed at Mi Zhu and scolded with a smile.

"Shameless is shameless, and you're afraid of what others say? I'm shameless, so what? You came just in time, quickly persuade Yun Chang and let him leave Xuzhou as soon as possible. Mi Zhu glared at Chen Deng later and said: "Yun Chang is different from us, he doesn't have such a thick skin as us, if Cao Cao is surrounded, he will definitely not vote for Cao Cao, so Yun Chang will be in danger." ”

"Hehe, Yun Chang, Chen Mouzhi said, you are a loyal and righteous person, and you will not do unrighteous things. Therefore, it is impossible for you to abandon Xuzhou and leave. Chen Deng walked to Guan Yu's case, took the wine jug in front of Guan Yu, aimed at the spout and took a sip: "In the final analysis, it's Yun Chang that you don't want to be that wicked person, and you don't want the world to say that you Yun Chang is disloyal and unjust, well, okay, Yun Chang, I will do this wicked person Chen Deng." ”

"You're going to do it? What are you doing? Mi Zhu asked puzzled.

"Yun Chang, this matter is really not a joke, if Cao Cao's army is killed, with our current strength in Xuzhou, it will be difficult to defend, and the city is only a matter of a snap of his fingers, Cao Cao can even kill Lu Bu, if you are captured by Cao Cao, if you don't vote for Cao Cao, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape death. How can we sacrifice in vain before we finish our great things? Therefore, you take your subordinate military horses now and leave Xuzhou first. Chen Deng said to Guan Yu seriously: "I will claim to the right place that I, Chen Deng, turned against Liu Bei, and together with Mi Zizhong, I wanted to capture Yun Chang and sacrifice you to Cao Cao, but you escaped from the encirclement." In this way, Yun Chang, you don't have to carry the infamy of abandoning your brother's foundation and not keeping it. ”

Syllable!

Mi Zhu slapped his thigh and said, "Or you Chen Yuanlong has a way, yes, this method is good, Yun Chang, what are you waiting for?" Your worries are gone, why don't you hurry up and get up your military horse? Well, Yuanlong, why don't we go and prepare now, so that the people we can control change their flags? ”

"Alas, this plan is not good, but it is cheaper Liu Bei, we do this, Liu Bei can just take advantage of this incident to escape, and even he doesn't have to bear the infamy of not keeping his promise and abandoning Xuzhou's escape." Chen Deng's face did not have a happy look, sighed, and then said to Mi Zhu: "Do a full set of plays, let's go, let's go and prepare." ”

"Wait, that'...... What about my sister-in-law? Guan Yu knew that this was already the best way, and he did not object to Chen Deng and Mi Zhu's approach, but there was also Liu Bei's wife, Guan Yu didn't know how to deal with it.

"Sister-in-law?" Chen Deng pouted disdainfully and said, "You regard it as a sister-in-law, but Liu Bei doesn't treat his wife as a wife." His wife is only an in-law of interest, for Liu Bei, it is dispensable, isn't her maiden home in Xuzhou? Recently, his mother's family is quite active, thinking that he can be brilliant from now on. Just let her go back to her mother's house. ”

"This ......" Guan Yu said embarrassedly: "This is not very good, right?" No matter what Liu Bei thinks of his sister-in-law, but, nominally, she is my brother-in-law's wife after all. What's more, Liu Bei asked Guan to take care of her in front of so many people, if Guan left Xuzhou and couldn't take care of her, it would be ......"

"What's so hard about that? If Yun Chang is really not at ease and is worried that it will damage your reputation in the future, then go and take your sister-in-law with you. Chen Deng waved his hand and solved Guan Yu's problem in a light manner.

When Guan Yu heard this, he thought about it, and felt that there was no way to do this, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll start preparing immediately." (To be continued......)
