Chapter 631: Sister-in-law Liang Lan

In any case, Xuzhou is also a historical city.

The land of Xuzhou is full of outstanding people and talents. Naturally, beauties are also famous.

In Xuzhou City, the most famous beauty is naturally the Xuzhou twin sisters. Mi Zhen and Cao Jing, however, they are already Liu Yi's women.

In addition to the two of them, in fact, there are still a lot of beauties who are not inferior to them. It's just that those are all in the boudoir, not as famous as the two of them.

In addition to the most famous Chen family and Mi family, such as Sun Qian's Sun family, Tao Qian's Tao family, Cao Bao's Cao family, etc., are among the best families in Xuzhou.

In addition, the Zhang family, the Zeng family, the Liang family, etc., in terms of family financial resources, may not be as good as the Chen and Mi families, but they are also deep-rooted in Xuzhou, not much inferior to those two families, to say that they are inferior to their families, there are no talented celebrities like Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, so the reputation of these families is not so significant.

In any place, there will be many wealthy families. In this historical city of Xuzhou, there are even more wealthy families. This is also when Tao Qian governed Xuzhou at the beginning, he would be heavy on the cold and cold, and directly let a member of the general Zang Ba who had already taken refuge in him not hide Tao Qian's practice, and ran back to Mount Tai to listen to Tao Qian and not listen to the announcement, even when Xuzhou was in danger, Zang Ba did not come to Xuzhou to rescue. This is the main reason why there are too many wealthy scholars in Xuzhou, and Tao Qian has to tilt towards those wealthy families in terms of attitude and policy.

Although Xuzhou has suffered from the war for so long, but. It is only ordinary people who suffer, for these wealthy families. But it didn't cause much impact, they have money and food, and when they encounter trouble, they can always turn their fortune into disaster.

Therefore, no matter who they get Xuzhou, they can still live a good life in Xuzhou.

At the beginning, Liu Bei was supported by the Liang family. took the daughter of the Liang family as his wife.

Speaking of which, the Liang family is twenty-eight years old, but he is definitely a beauty no less than Mi Zhen, Cao Jing and other women.

Moreover. I don't know if Liu Bei is lucky, this Liang has a very good temperament, and he also knows books and etiquette. Arguably. Liu Bei lost Gan Qian and Mi Zhen, but got a good wife who was both beautiful and gentle. This is not to say that Gan Qian and Mi Zhen are not good, but to say that the Liang family will never be worse than Gan Qian and Mi Zhen.

Guan Yu doesn't care how Liu Bei treats the Liang family, but Guan Yu still respects this sister-in-law who is much younger than himself.

So. Guan Yu felt that even Liu Bei was willing to leave his wife in Xuzhou. It was possible for it to fall into Cao Cao's hands, but he felt that he couldn't let this sister-in-law go.

Guan Yu listened to Chen Deng and Mi Zhu's plan, and decided to lead the army to leave Xuzhou before Cao Cao's army came, and after the cooperation of the two, he would go to Xiapi first.

Before that, he had to meet his sister-in-law, explain the situation to him, and then take her with him.

Well, in troubled times, there may be a hero complex in the hearts of ordinary people. Little kids, little girls, etc., boys and girls are the same, in their hearts, there will always be a hero complex.

Liang's name is Liang Lan, although she has a gentle temperament, she is still a girl full of fantasies about love. That's right, she is not more than twenty now, and she is indeed a living girl.

Originally, in the ancient era of the Han Dynasty, women had no status at all, but some women from large families and some women from slightly more enlightened families were exceptions.

Liang Lan has been able to learn words and literacy since she was a child, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

This person, the more knowledge he has acquired, the more his horizons will naturally be broadened, and his heart will be higher.

In this troubled era, a woman like Liang Lan, who has her own heart, will naturally think more. At least, she thinks that her future husband must be a big hero who stands up to the sky.

Hehe, don't be surprised, beauties love heroes, it's not just Mi Zhen and other women who will have such thoughts.

Therefore, when the Liang family wanted to give her to Liu Bei, Liang Lan was happy in her heart, after all, in folklore, Liu Bei can indeed be regarded as a hero.

So, things went well, and she married Liu Bei.

At the beginning, Liang Lan was indeed very happy, and when she saw Liu Bei, she was also satisfied, well, although Liu Bei was often scolded by Cao Cao as a big-eared thief, she often heard that people, Liu Bei's hands were longer than his knees or something, it sounded like Liu Bei's appearance seemed a little special. But in fact, Liu Bei is not bad, at least, he was born with a kind face and a bit of heroic bearing.

Therefore, after marrying Liu Bei, Liang Lan was indeed sweet for a while.

However, the good times were short-lived. She slowly discovered that Liu Bei didn't seem to care about her as much as he seemed.

When she was at home, Liu Bei mostly called her like a servant, and occasionally, she would lose her temper with her.

At the beginning, Liang Lan thought that ordinary people were like this, as a wife, waiting for her husband and listening to her husband's call, that was as it should be, her husband was in a bad mood, and there was nothing wrong with losing his temper with himself. She had seen these in her home, and her mother was often called out to by her father.

However, what made Liang Lan at a loss was that occasionally, Liu Bei would love her very much and coax her into a daze. But every time, when Liu Bei treats her well, he has a purpose, if she doesn't say that there is a shortage of food in the army, let her go back to the Liang family to talk about it, if not, she is short of money.

Anyway, through Liang Lan's mouth, she couldn't remember how much money and food she asked for from the Liang family.

However, after that, many changes happened, and Liang Lan and Liu Bei didn't have much time together. Of course, she was also frightened a lot.

For example, Lu Bu suddenly attacked Xuzhou, she was almost arrested by Lu Bu, and later Lu Bu sent her to Xiaopei, and later, during that time in Xiaopei, she was cold to Liu Bei. may be because Xuzhou was taken over by Lu Bu, and Liu Bei had no way to ask the Liang family for money and food. Liu Bei was during that time. I haven't seen her much at all, and every time I meet, I don't have a good face for her. I almost didn't hit her.

Liang Lan couldn't figure it out in her heart, this Liu Bei, isn't he a big hero? Didn't he love his people like a son? Isn't he known for his righteousness? But why did he treat himself like this? I asked myself, worked hard at home, did my duty as a wife, and didn't do anything against women's morals. But why did Liu Bei treat her like that?

In Liang Lan's heart, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Liu Bei.

Later, it was Liu Bei's defeat. She was escorted by Liu Bei's men and followed her to Xudu. And Liu Bei is becoming more and more cold to her.

This time, when she returned to Xuzhou, Liu Bei suddenly treated her well again. Of course. Or for the sake of money and food. This time, Liang Lan did not happily agree to Liu Bei to ask the Liang family for money and food as before.

As a result, Liu Bei ran to ask for it himself, and most of the people in the Liang family were given an official and a half-post by Liu Bei. Liang Lan now knows that Liu Bei is not interested in marrying her, but the wealth of the Liang family. Pity. The people of her own family don't know what she is doing, she is now. A little worried about the people of his mother's family, this time, how much food did the people in the family take to Liu Bei to let them get the title? If in the future, the Liang family can no longer give money and food to Liu Bei, what will happen to them? You must know that there will always be an end to money, and when there is no money, the people of the Liang family are dismissed, and when the time comes, what is left of the Liang family?

What's more, now, even if she is just a woman's family, but with her knowledge, she also perceives that Liu Bei's situation does not seem to be very good, and it is difficult to say whether she can hold Xuzhou in the future. The people of his own Liang family are so stammering with Liu Bei? This gaze is too short-sighted.

However, in Liang Lan's heart, she didn't know what to do.

It's just dawning, and the second uncle Guan Yu came to ask to see him? When Liang Lan heard the maid come to tell her, she quickly dressed up and dressed properly before ordering someone to invite Guan Yu in.

Liang Lan is dignified and beautiful, and her demeanor is elegant and generous.

She sat upright and asked Guan Yu leisurely: "Second uncle, morning, is there anything wrong with coming to see me?" ”

Guan Yu and this sister-in-law usually meet each other, he feels that this sister-in-law is not simple, at least in terms of dealing with people, she has done a job that makes people speechless. Seriously, he was happy that his eldest brother could marry such a gentle and virtuous lady. Therefore, I have always respected this sister-in-law, even if she is younger than herself.

This sister-in-law is very beautiful, but she is rude and hasty, and Guan Yu is naturally not good at looking at her directly.

After Guan Yu came in, he sat down at the bottom of his sister-in-law's head and kept his eyes down.

Listening to his sister-in-law's inquiry, Guan Yu replied: "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother has already led the army to ambush Cao Cao's army." Before leaving, he told Guan to take care of his sister-in-law. ”

"Second brother, wait, did your eldest brother really say this to you? How could he let people take care of me? This ......" Liang Lan's expression felt a little unconvinced, because, in her impression, it was impossible for Liu Bei to deliberately ask someone to take care of herself. Over the years, she has been in danger many times, and she has never seen Liu Bei care about herself, and with her current cold relationship with Liu Bei, Liu Bei seems to be even less likely to let his second brother take care of herself.

However, Guan Yu didn't know about the situation between her and Liu Bei, so naturally he didn't want to speak ill of his eldest brother Liu Bei in front of this sister-in-law.

Guan Yu said: "Yes, eldest brother, he did let Guan take care of his sister-in-law. However, Guan was worried that the eldest brother went to ambush Cao Cao's army, and he was afraid that he might not be the opponent of Cao Cao's army, and it was estimated that Cao Cao's army would soon be killed under the city of Xuzhou, after all, Zhang Xiu's 100,000 army was still eyeing outside the city, if he knew that the eldest brother led an army to leave Xuzhou, maybe Zhang Xiu's 100,000 troops and horses could break through our Xuzhou City. Therefore, Guan was afraid that he would live up to the trust of his eldest brother, so he wanted to send his sister-in-law to Xiapi first. Lest Xuzhou be surrounded by Cao Cao's army, it will be difficult to leave with his sister-in-law. ”

"You want to take me away? Where to go? Liang Lan was a little stunned.

"Let's go to Xiapi first, Xiapi is in the east of Xuzhou, for a while, Cao Cao's army can't attack Xiapi, there, it will be safer." Guan Yu said: "Maybe, the eldest brother will also go to Xiapi." ”

"Your eldest brother, he really led an army to attack Cao Cao's army? Although your sister-in-law and I are a woman's family, I have also heard that Cao Cao's military horses are two or three hundred thousand, and he ......."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, eldest brother will act when he sees the opportunity, if he can't do anything, the eldest brother will withdraw the army back to Xuzhou. Guan Yu sent his sister-in-law to Xiapi, which also allowed the eldest brother to fight with Cao Cao with confidence. Guan Yu thought that this sister-in-law was worried about her eldest brother Liu Bei, and said comfortingly.

"Huh. Will he really go back to Xuzhou? He ......" Liang Lan smiled, but her face was more ugly than crying, with her understanding of this husband, she knew that she was probably abandoned by Liu Bei again. She didn't believe that Liu Bei dared to ambush Cao Cao's army, and she didn't believe that Liu Bei would return to Xuzhou City to die when she knew that Cao Cao's army was overwhelmed.

But. She didn't want to say anything about her husband in front of Guan Yu, so she closed her mouth. After thinking about it, he said: "Okay, it's rare that the second uncle is so hearty, so the sister-in-law will go to Xiapi with the second uncle first." ”

Liang Lan felt in her heart that Guan Yu was now here to invite her to Xiapi. It may be the reason for the feathers. She usually has a good impression of this second uncle, at least, she can feel the respect that this second uncle has for her. So, faintly, she didn't want to embarrass Guan Yu.

Seeing that this sister-in-law didn't ask anything more and agreed to go to Xiapi, Guan Yu's heart was also relieved. Let my sister-in-law clean up some softness. Then he first went to inform Chen Deng and Mi Zhu and asked them to start acting according to the plan.

Let's talk about Liu Bei. He asked Chen Zhi to lead the army, first marching in the direction of Xiaopei, leaving Xuzhou for ten or twenty miles, and then detouring to the north. He didn't dare to let Xuzhou tell him that he hadn't attacked Cao Cao's army at all, otherwise, he would immediately be discredited.

He had already asked Jian Yong to hurry to Qingzhou first, mainly to let Jian Yong go to contact Yuan Tan, who occupied the Beihai area, and let Yuan Tan send troops to respond. From Xuzhou to Hebei to Yuan Shao, Liu Bei could not directly enter Hebei through Cao Cao's powerful territory, but could only pass through Qingzhou and go to Yuan Tan's Beihai first.

However, it is a pity that it may be destined that it will be difficult for Liu Bei to save too much strength to vote for Yuan Shao.

Just when Liu Bei turned around and was about to bypass Xuzhou City and scatter in the northeast direction, an army suddenly came out.

It turned out that Cao Cao thought that he had fallen for Zhang Fei and wasted a day in Xiaopei, and he didn't want to stay in Xiaopei any longer. In the second half of the night, he ordered Li Dian to lead an army as the vanguard, march to Xuzhou first, and go to join Zhang Xiu.

As a result, Li Dian led the army to come, and the scout came to report that there was a Liu Bei army in front, with about 20,000 or 30,000 men and horses.

When Li Dian heard this, he didn't think much about it at all, and immediately ordered the military horse to kill Liu Beijun.

Well, even if it is the vanguard army, the military horses led by Li Dian have twenty or thirty thousand horses. What's more, Li Dian was reprimanded by Cao Cao because he launched a siege battle against Xiaopeicheng with Yu Ban, which caused a lot of losses in military horses. In his heart, he is eager to make meritorious contributions. When the strength is equal, where is he willing to let go of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions?

In particular, Li Dian thought that Zhang Fei had escaped without a trace now, and Guan Yu would definitely stay in Xuzhou, so who else in Liu Bei's army would pose a threat to him? Now the opportunity to make meritorious service is in front of us, and if you miss it, you will regret it.

Liu Bei was in a hurry to leave Xuzhou to join Yuan Shao, and he thought that Cao Cao would definitely wait until dawn before sending troops to Xuzhou from Xiaopei, so he didn't expect Cao Cao's military horses to come so quickly.

You must know that it is only dawn now, and Cao Cao's military horses will not come in such a hurry.

In this way, Liu Bei did not send spies and scouts to guard in the direction of Xiaopei's area.

Liu Bei was more concerned about hiding from Xuzhou, and he couldn't let Xuzhou know that he would flee without a fight.

Just when Liu Bei led his army to a forest, he suddenly shouted to kill, and countless Cao soldiers came out of the woods.

And behind Liu Bei's army, Li Dian personally led the army to rush and kill.

also said that he was going to attack Cao Cao's army, but now he was ambushed by Cao Cao's military horses.

In an instant, Liu Bei's military horses, they just heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing, and saw countless Cao Cao killing from behind from both sides. How many Cao Jun there were, they didn't know how many Cao Jun there were.

All of a sudden, Liu Beijun didn't say that he was going to fight back, and it would be good to be able to react.

With a coax, Liu Beijun was all in chaos and fled in all directions.

Fortunately, Chen Zhi took thousands of men and horses to protect Liu Bei to break through and escape.

This time, Liu Bei didn't need to make excuses, he was indeed invincible to Cao Jun and fled, but he was not defeated by Cao Jun, but was ambushed by Cao Jun.

Li Dian naturally waved his army to chase and kill, while sending people to report the situation to Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu.

As soon as Zhang Xiu heard that another Liu Bei's army had left Xuzhou and was defeated by Li Dian, he immediately realized that there were not many defenders in Xuzhou, and when would it take to attack Xuzhou now?

With the lessons of the past, well, that is, Yu Ban and Li Dian attacked Xiao Pei, Zhang Xiu is not stupid, and the opportunity to make meritorious contributions is in front of him.

For Yu Ban and Li Dian, Zhang Xiu's military horses are all his original military horses, and his degree of freedom is much greater than that of Yu Ban and Li Dian. Cao Cao was also more polite to him, and the instructions he gave were always in a consultative tone, not directly ordering him. Therefore, if he can easily capture Xuzhou, without forcibly attacking the city, without losing too many of his own troops, why didn't he take it?

Therefore, Zhang Xiujun suddenly moved, and the military camp not far in front of Xuzhou City of the whole army drove out and killed Xuzhou City.

However, things went much smoother than Zhang Xiu, and as soon as his army arrived, the guards in the city immediately raised the white flag and surrendered.

In this way, Zhang Xiu almost bloodlessly got Xuzhou City.

The one who dedicated the city was naturally Chen Deng again.

Chen Deng can also be regarded as Cao Cao's old minister, and Zhang Xiu has also heard of it, so he did not embarrass Chen Deng, but just waited for Cao Cao to listen to Hou Faluo.

Guan Yu, on the other hand, led an army to protect Liang Lan, and quietly left Xuzhou from the east of Xuzhou City. (To be continued......)
