"Virtuous brother!" The surprise in Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and then he said with joy on his face, "Since the fall of Guangling, my brother has not been looking for you everywhere, but it turns out that you are here." I thought it was ...... for my brother."

Liu Bei is really talented in acting, after seeing Guan Yu, he was shocked and happy, and then the tears flowed down "heavily", and in the blink of an eye, he had changed several expressions. Liu Bei said as he was about to hit the horse.

Jian Yong stretched out his hand to stop and whispered, "Lord, there is something wrong with the second general. ”

In fact, there is no need for him to say it, Liu Bei has long seen that there is something strange in this, because the thousands of cavalry who followed behind Guan Yu, all in black clothes and black armor, with a cold expression, are exactly the attire of Liu Xin's soldiers, which is also the reason why Liu Bei saw Guan Yu, the trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. However, Liu Bei immediately noticed that Guan Yu was still wearing this old robe, which was given to him by himself when they were righteous. This shows that even if Guan Yu has surrendered to Liu Xin, he is still worried about the brotherhood with him, so Liu Bei is happy again. Liu Bei didn't believe that Guan Yu would be unfavorable to him, he waved his hand at Jian Yong and continued to ride forward.

But he saw Guan Yu slowly raise the big knife in his hand, the tip of the knife pointed at Liu Bei, and said, "Big brother, slow down, please listen to the little brother." ”

Liu Bei was really surprised this time, Guan Yu had never pointed a knife at him, so he couldn't help but restrain the horse, and asked in a deep voice: "Didn't the virtuous brother lower Liu Xin?" ”

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "The eldest brother is wrong, the younger brother did not surrender to Liu Xin, but just did his part for the Han Dynasty. ”

"It's not all the same." Liu Bei sighed and said, "Brother Xian, my brother also knows that after the fall of Guangling, you had no choice but to surrender to Liu Xin's house. Now, Liu Xin's momentum is huge, and he is afraid that his brother will be more than lucky. You and I brothers, because my brother doesn't dare to beg you to get out of the way. Virtuous brother, you will catch your brother and go to Liu Xin to find a good background. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei suddenly rolled into the saddle and dismounted, kneeling in front of Guan Yu. Jian Yong and Sun Gan, who followed behind, were all taken aback.

Guan Yu was also deeply surprised, hurriedly abandoned the knife, jumped off the war horse, took three steps and two steps to Liu Bei, helped Liu Bei up, and said: "The eldest brother used to teach the younger brother that it was his responsibility to help the Han family, and the younger brother was really loyal to the Han family, not betrayed the eldest brother. Liu Xin has a good saying, this Han world is not a family with a surname, but a world of all Han people. The eldest brother also knows that Liu Xin is powerful, and Xuzhou is powerless to fight with him, if he continues to be an enemy, it will only make the lives miserable and increase the sins, so please think twice. ”

In the past few days, Guan Yu has thought about what Liu Xin said the most, but what really changed his thinking was the rapid march of this day and night.

Liu Xin only gave him 3,000 cavalry, and in Guan Yu's opinion, it was that Liu Xin was still quite suspicious of him and did not dare to entrust heavy troops. But when it was time to actually march, Guan Yu found that among the three thousand cavalry, there was not even a captain, and the highest official rank was only three thousand commanders. However, the whole team was still very disciplined and truly carried out the orders and prohibitions. After a day and a night of rapid marching, not a single soldier screamed bitterly or tired, although Guan Yu had not seen their performance on the battlefield, but with this strict military discipline alone, it was definitely not comparable to an ordinary army.

What surprised Guan Yu even more was that this army was still able to insist on not harming or disturbing the people. Because they had marched all night and had not seen the road clearly, a small troop of cavalry had accidentally stepped into a wheat field, and their commander himself went to the farmer's house and paid full compensation, which was something that no other army could have thought of. But in this way, it also naturally affected the speed of the march. Guan Yu couldn't help but urge the commander, but the commander said that they were the sons and daughters of the common people, and they were not fighting for anyone's glory and wealth, but so that the people of the whole Han could live a stable and happy life. This incident had a great impact on Guan Yu, and he already vaguely understood the meaning of Liu Xin's words.

After listening to Guan Yu's words, Liu Bei looked stunned, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Brother is different from brother Xian, if brother votes for Liu Xin, he will be reused, if brother votes for him, I am afraid that he will die without a place to be buried!" Brother Xian, don't say more, let's catch my brother and ask Liu Xin for merit and reward. ”

Guan Yu listened to Liu Bei's resoluteness, and couldn't help but take two steps back. He is a person who values love and righteousness, although he was willing to make a military order in front of Liu Xin when he came, but when he really saw Liu Bei, he couldn't do it anyway.

"That's it." Guan Yu turned over his horse, made a gesture, ordered the soldiers to make way for a way, arched his hand towards Liu Bei, and said, "Big brother, go over." ”

When Guan Yu gave this order, he was still a little worried that his soldiers would not listen to his orders, but those soldiers didn't even frown, and quickly moved out of the way. In fact, this is the first time Guan Yu has led the Han Legion to fight, and he is not yet clear about the military regulations of the Han Legion. Whether it is a regular army or a local army, for officers and soldiers below the commander of a thousand commanders, unconditional obedience to orders is the first military discipline. If there were lieutenants or other generals present, they might have some complaints about Guan Yu's behavior of letting Liu Bei go. However, Liu Xin had already calculated that Guan Yu would not embarrass Liu Bei, so he did not arrange for other generals to come with him.

Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Guan Yu finally let him go with his brotherly feelings. At that moment, Liu Bei no longer hesitated, got on the horse, hugged his fist towards Guan Yu, and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they are not reluctant to be brothers." Brother Xian, you and I will say goodbye, I hope he will have a chance to meet again one day. ”

Guan Yu didn't speak, watching Liu Bei pass in front of him with a large army, thinking that in the past, the two of them ate at the same table and slept at the same table, and felt very sad in his heart, and suddenly yelled and said, "Wait!" ”

Liu Bei was about to escape, when he heard this shout, Guan Yu repented, couldn't help but restrain the horse, but he held the pair of double-strand swords in his hand, slowly turned around, and saw Guan Yu take off the robe on his body, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, if you say goodbye today, you and I will be like passers-by, this robe was given to the younger brother by the eldest brother, and the younger brother will return it to the eldest brother, and since then it has been ruthless." ”

Speaking of this, Guan Yu threw the old robe into the air, and then waved his hand, and when the knife flashed, the robe turned into a butterfly in mid-air.

Liu Bei smiled miserably: "It's a good one, you can do it yourself, virtuous brother." ”

Since Guan Yu had already set up ambushes in advance, it was naturally impossible for this valley to become a place for them to hide their troops, and Liu Bei's original plan fell through, so he had to lead his men and horses through the valley.

Sun Qian was puzzled: "May I ask the lord, why don't you collect your troops and return to the city, and hold on to the danger?" ”

Jian Yong smiled bitterly: "Gongyou, even Guan Yu voted for Liu Xin, how can the city be defended?" It's just that the subordinates don't know anything, and the subordinates see that Guan Yu's subordinates are only a few thousand, and if they wave the army to rush over, they will definitely be victorious. Since Guan Yu has abandoned his brotherhood, why should the lord beg him? ”

Now in the situation, Liu Bei's forces have an absolute advantage in numbers, but the battle to pursue Mizhu made Liu Bei remember deeply, and he knew the strength of the Jingzhou army. That time, he also helped Guan Yu, but now Guan Yu has become an enemy. Liu Bei knew very well that although the other party only had a few thousand cavalry, but with Guan Yu, I am afraid that the 20,000 people on his side were still not opponents. Moreover, since Liu Xin has even laid an ambush here, who can know if there are other armies around? In Liu Bei's opinion, Guan Yu has just taken refuge in Liu Xin, and Liu Xin should not be at ease to let Guan Yu lead the troops alone. Therefore, it's okay not to surrender the troops twice, but if you surrender the troops, you will be defeated!

Encountering Guan Yu's ambush soldiers, Liu Bei of course no longer hopes to be able to keep the small territory of Xuzhou, he only hopes to preserve some strength as much as possible, and add some chips to occupy a place under Yuan Shu in the future. In this case, of course, he would not let his men and horses fight with Guan Yu, which would only increase the loss.

However, if these long-term morale extinguishes his prestige, Liu Bei will not tell Jian Yong and Sun Qian. Liu Bei said with a bitter face: "Two gentlemen, Liu treats Guan Yu better than his own brother, but what Liu Xin can give him, I can't give him, so he surrendered to Liu Xin, but I don't blame him at all." ”

In fact, Liu Xin did not give Guan Yu any glory and wealth, and Guan Yu was not rare The glory and wealth that Liu Xin could give him, the only thing he was rare was a woman, but this woman was taken by Liu Bei first, which was the key to the rift between them, but neither of them was aware of this.

Liu Bei saw that Jian Yong and Sun Qian were a little depressed because of Guan Yu's defection to the enemy, and he didn't feel very comfortable, so he sighed and continued: "If I wave my army to kill, I can rely on more to win. However, think about it, since Liu Xin sent Yun Chang to guard here, why not send more soldiers and horses with him? This is Liu Xin's poisonous plan, which caused me and Brother Yun Chang to kill each other. Yun Chang has been deceived by Liu Xin, how can I fall into Liu Xin's trap again, and leave a glimmer of life, he will have a chance to redeem it one day. ”

Jian Yong praised repeatedly: "The lord is benevolent and righteous, Yun Chang mistakenly voted for a thief, it's a pity!" ”

Sun Qian was also embarrassed, and asked, "I don't know where the lord wants to go?" ”

At this point, Liu Bei had no need to continue to hide from Sun Gan, he whipped and pointed to the west, and said: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to go to Yuan Shu." ”

Sun Qian was shocked: "Although Yuan Shu was born in a famous family, he is arrogant and extravagant, tyrannical to the people, and has a lot of villains. ”

Liu Bei sneered in his heart, if Yuan Shu was a wise lord, he would still vote for him, it was precisely because Yuan Shu was incompetent that he could have the opportunity to win the matter and break out of the world again. However, these words could not be said to Sun Gan, and when Liu Bei was thinking about how to explain to Sun Gan, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves.

A soldier hurriedly came over and said loudly: "Lord Qiqi, the big thing is not good, Guan Yu led a large group of cavalry to chase and kill!" ”

Liu Bei shouted: "Nonsense, how can Yun Chang be a person who has no faith in his words? He's not going to go back on his word! ”
