These words were extremely beautiful, not only praising Guan Yu for being a downright gentleman, but also covering up the embarrassment of his slow reaction just now, Liu Xin's eagerness can be seen.

Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "Lord Liu, Guan Mou has said first, Guan Mou's defeat today is not a surrender, but just as a Han man, he is willing to do his part for the Han." If he wants to go elsewhere in the future, Lord Liu must not stop him! ”

This condition is the same as the one that Guan Yu gave to Cao Cao in history, but Liu Xin believes that he will not repeat Cao Cao's mistakes, because he already has a secret weapon in his hands.

Liu Xin did not rush to agree to Guan Yu's conditions, but said with a smile: "In General Guan's opinion, who is this big man in the world?" ”

Guan Yu's face changed, and he sneered: "Yes, this big man does belong to your Liu family, but you are not the only one in the Liu family. ”

Liu Xin laughed loudly, and suddenly said with a straight face: "Wrong! This Han world does not belong to one family, but to the people of the whole world! It is all the people who belong to the Han Dynasty! Including me, including you, including thousands of people in the world! ”

This kind of truth is unheard of for Guan Yu, who is holding a volume of "Spring and Autumn" all day long. The idea he accepted was that the whole world was not the king's land, and the land was not the king's minister. Guan Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Liu Xin stepped forward, patted Guan Yu on the shoulder, and said, "Yun Chang, you won't be able to figure out these things for a while, go back to Guangling with me first, and keep these things for later." ”

The Taishou Mansion in Guangling City naturally returned it to Guan Yu's family to live in, and Liu Xin found another big mansion in the city. However, the banquet to welcome Guan Yu was still held in the Taishou Mansion, because the house where Liu Xin temporarily lived was in a more humble condition.

After three rounds of drinking, suddenly a personal guard walked in, arched his hand and said: "Lord Qi, General Zhang Ren sent someone to report, there is no movement in the direction of Xuzhou, do you want to withdraw the army that was set up in ambush in advance, please make it public." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Tell them to stay in place and not move lightly." ”

"No!" The guard said yes, turned and walked out of the hall.

Frustrated Zhu got up and said: "Lord Qi, according to the news from the fine work, Liu Bei has already known the news of the fall of Guangling, but he just stood still, and it is unnecessary to continue to set up ambushes, so it is better to withdraw them to Guangling to rest, please think twice." ”

Guan Yu looked at them coldly and didn't say a word. In Guan Yu's eyes, what Liu Xin and Fu Zhu said was just some clumsy performance, trying to separate the brotherhood between him and Liu Bei.

saw Liu Xin wave his hand and said, "What are you doing withdrawing, I'm about to wave my army to take Xuzhou." Tell the soldiers to get ready, and three days later the drums will be beaten. ”

Hearing that Liu Xin was going to enter Xuzhou, Guan Yu couldn't sit still. He promised to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, instead of surrendering to Liu Xin, in fact, he also had his own wishful thinking, anyway, Guangling and Xuzhou were close at hand, as long as the pregnant Cao Hui was settled, and then find another opportunity, he could defect to his eldest brother Liu Bei.

Guan Yu couldn't help but get up, and shouted: "Lord Liu, you keep saying that this world belongs to all the Han people, so my eldest brother, as a pastor of Xuzhou, is also guarding the Han city." When you raised troops to invade Guangling, the reason you found was that Guan had purchased disaster relief food. Now that my eldest brother is not at fault, why are you arrogant? ”

Liu Xin didn't mind Guan Yu's refusal to call him the lord, smiled and said, "Yun Chang, do you remember what Liu said to you when he was in Luoyang?" ”

Without waiting for Guan Yu to answer, Liu Xin's face sank and said, "Liu Mou has warned him a long time ago, don't live in the Han family sect in person!" He even dared to continue to pretend to be the royal family, you say, is this a fault? This is not just a fault, it is a capital crime! ”

Guan Yu looked stunned, three years ago, when the princes of the Kwantung region discussed Dong Zhuo, outside Luoyang City, Liu Xin did say this sentence, but he and Liu Bei did not take this sentence to heart, or they didn't want to take this sentence to heart, because without the title of Han clan relative, Liu Bei would be nothing, and what qualifications would he have to sit in the position of Xuzhou Mu.

"Okay, let's not talk about these frivolous things." Liu Xin's face had already reappeared with a smile, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said loudly, "Everyone, Yun Chang is a martial artist, loyal to the Han from now on, and the future is indispensable to pay homage to the marquis, let's respect Yun Chang together, and wish Yun Chang to make contributions to the Han Dynasty as soon as possible!" ”

The civil and military forces in the hall were not interested in Guan Yu, but because of Liu Xin's face, they raised their wine glasses sparsely. But I heard Guan Yu arch his hand and say: "Wait! Lord Liu, Guan has one more thing to ask. ”

Liu Xin didn't put down the wine glass, and made a word of invitation to Guan Yu with his other hand, and said with a smile: "Yun Chang, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

Guan Yu turned a blind eye to those civil and military slightly angry gazes, and said in a deep voice: "That grain merchant surnamed Song, I don't know what Lord Liu has done?" ”

Liu Xin said without thinking: "Stealing and selling disaster relief food is a capital crime, but he persuaded you to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, so Liu allowed him to redeem his merits, let him go, and rewarded him with a large sum of money." Now, the grain merchant surnamed Song has moved to live in Xiangyang, and you may be able to meet him in the future. ”

In fact, with this great achievement, Shopkeeper Song's status in the Phantom Secret Spy can be further improved. However, Liu Xin had the heart to completely subdue Guan Yu, so he couldn't expose the identity of the shopkeeper Song, so he could only let the shopkeeper Song retire honorably. As the core figure of the phantom, the discipline of the phantom Shopkeeper Song knows very well that these secrets will always be buried in the heart of the shopkeeper Song, until he brings it into the coffin after a hundred years, and will not reveal half a word in front of people. Although the shopkeeper Song lost his status as a public official, as compensation, Liu Xin did give him a large sum of money, enough for him to spend several lifetimes.

Guan Yu took the wine glass and drank it all, and said, "So Guan is relieved." ”

Seeing Guan Yu drinking by himself, Liu Xin smiled awkwardly, drank all the wine in the cup, waved his hand, and said, "Everyone respect Yun Chang more." ”

Everyone had already been instructed by Liu Xin, although they didn't like Guan Yu's arrogant style, they also got up to toast him, especially Xu Chu and Zhang Liao, who were pulling Guan Yu to compete with each other. Guan Yu was a little bored, and he didn't say much to the people who toasted him, but he didn't refuse to come, and he was drunk.

It was already four watches in the night, and Guan Yu slowly woke up, still feeling a slight headache. After not eating or sleeping for nearly three days, and drinking so much wine, that is, Guan Yu's body, if it were someone else, he would have been sick a long time ago.

Cao Hui was napping beside the bed with her chin propped up, and was suddenly awakened by Guan Yu's movement, and said happily: "Husband, are you awake?" ”

Guan Yu shook his head effortlessly, only then did he see that Cao Hui's clothes were untied, and he was staying by the side with a tired face, so he couldn't help nodding and said, "Madam, I'm fine, you go to sleep for a while." ”

Since learning that Cao Hui was pregnant with his flesh and blood, Guan Yu's attitude towards Cao Hui was obviously much better, and his voice became softer, after all, there has been a blood connection between the two people since then.

Cao Hui took Guan Yu's hand and said in a coquettish voice: "Husband, the concubine is not tired, the concubine wants to accompany you here." ”

"Isn't that all right for me? Don't be stupid, even if you don't want to rest, think about the child in your belly. Guan Yu gently stroked Cao Hui's hair, and suddenly touched the hosta, his face changed, and he sighed, "You go to sleep, I want to be quiet alone." ”

Too many things have happened in the past few days, and Guan Yu's mind is a little messy. First, the grain ship of the Song shopkeeper was inexplicably seized, and then Liu Xin's army crossed the Yangtze River, and his Guangling City was even more lost. When he was trapped on an isolated island and was waiting to die, Shopkeeper Song suddenly became a lobbyist for Liu Xin. All of this is interlocking, as if it was a set designed from the beginning, but he just couldn't jump out.

But it is a little different to say that it was designed by Liu Xin in advance, because the most important thing in this is that Cao Hui is suddenly pregnant, otherwise he Guan Yu would rather die than surrender, although nominally he is loyal to the Han rather than surrendering Liu Xin, but it is just a disguise, if it is spread, who will believe it? And Cao Hui's pregnancy could not have been designed by Liu Xin in advance.

Things have developed to this point, and it is no longer something that Guan Yu can control, so he only thought about these questions for a while and then shook his head and ignored them. Now, there was something more important that kept him awake.

Although Guan Yu's head still hurts a little because of the wine, he clearly remembers that Liu Xin said that he would send troops to Xuzhou in three days. That wheel battle allowed Guan Yu to see the combat power of Liu Xin's generals, and as for the bravery of Liu Xin's army, Guan Yu had a deep understanding when he pursued Mi Zhu last year. Under the attack of such an army, Xuzhou City will definitely not be able to defend.

Seeing the hosta on Cao Hui's head just now, Guan Yu remembered Du Xiuniang. Du Xiuniang is Qin Yi's wife, Qin Yi is now an important official under Liu Bei, as a member of Liu Xin's hostile camp, after the city is broken, Qin Yi's entire family property will definitely be used as trophies, including his women, of course.

As soon as the sky was bright, Guan Yu couldn't sit still, he hurriedly changed his clothes and went to the house where Liu Xin lived temporarily, asking to see Liu Xin.

At yesterday's welcome banquet, Guan Yu was not friendly to Liu Xin, and refused to call Liu Xin the lord from beginning to end, and there was quite disrespect between the words, and now he actually took the initiative to ask to see, Liu Xin has faintly sensed some clues.

Guan Yu really didn't hold the shelf like he did yesterday, and as soon as he entered the door, he bowed his hand and said, "Lord Liu got up very early. ”

Liu Xin said with a smile: "Eat the king's luck, bear the king's worries." As a clan relative of the Han family, Liu was ordered by the Queen Mother to be in charge of the affairs of the four states, and was also the regent of the government, with a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, how could Liu dare to slack off? It's General Guan, who has been tired for days, and it is time to rest and rest. ”
