Chapter 635: Who Persuaded Whom?
Zhang Liao and Guan Yu drank and talked happily on Tuntu Mountain, and both sides opened the floodgates, talked about everything, and said what they had buried in their hearts. I don't usually talk to people, but now I don't have any worries about confiding in each other.
Of course, Zhang Liao invited Guan Yu to Tuntu Mountain to drink and talk, there was a purpose, and in the end, he wanted to leave Guan Yu on this Tuntu Mountain. Therefore, Zhang Liao's mood is more complicated than Guan Yu's, so many things that he can't say that he can't say because of the guilt in his heart are all said.
And what about Guan Yu? He wasn't really so careless, so he left Xiapi so casually and followed Zhang Liao to this Tuntu Mountain. Guan Yu also has his purpose, Guan Yu's purpose is to ask himself that it is difficult for him to escape this catastrophe, in order to stick to his beliefs, he has already held the determination to die. However, seeing Zhang Liao, Guan Yu felt that it was a pity to use Zhang Liao's talent to serve Cao Cao. If he can persuade Zhang Liao to leave Cao Cao and join Liu Yi before he dies, this can be regarded as a good thing he did for Liu Yi before he died.
Therefore, after listening to Zhang Liao's words, Guan Yu also decided to confide in Zhang Liao about some things in his heart that he couldn't usually say and made him feel a little depressed, and persuaded Zhang Liao to leave Cao Cao and vote for Liu Yi by the way.
Seeing that Zhang Liao was interested in his words, Guan Yu pointed at Zhang Liao, and then pointed at himself and said, "Don't hide it from Wenyuan, Guan Mou is also like you, and he mislooks at people." In this regard, our life experiences are really strikingly similar. ”
"Liu Bei!" Guan Yu didn't wait for Zhang Liao to ask, so he called his eldest brother's name heavily. said: "My eldest brother, this righteous eldest brother, at the beginning. Guan and his third brother Zhang Fei joined him in Taoyuan and raised troops together to defeat the Yellow Turban thieves. The three brothers are determined to sweep away the thieves in the United States, help the Han family, and advance and retreat together for this purpose, and work hard all their lives. Do the oath made by brothers. ”
"Well, Yun Chang, the deeds of the three of you brothers. Now it has become a beautiful talk for people all over the world, who talks about the three of you, who doesn't give a thumbs up? Affectionate, righteous, and ambitious. Seriously. Zhang is a little envious of you. Zhang Liao said sincerely.
"Phew!" Guan Yu spat out a mouthful of water and said, "What is there to envy about this?" Wenyuan, you don't know. Guan Mou now. I don't feel comfortable. Guan and his third brother Zhang Fei were kidnapped by Liu Bei with these brothers' righteousness and these excuses to support the Han family. Now I'm ...... I can't get out. ”
"Uh, Yun Chang, how do you say that? You ......" Zhang Liao couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw Guan Yu's angry and helpless look, he rarely saw Guan Yu, who was as steady as a mountain, showing such an angry expression.
"Hehe......" Guan Yu staggered back a few steps and sat on the railing of the pavilion. Raised the flask in his hand and took a sip.
"Reading Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei. Although they have different surnames, they are brothers, but they work together to save the needy; Report to the country, under An Lishu. I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year. The emperor and the queen of heaven, learn from this heart, betray righteousness and ingratitude, and kill heaven and man together! Guan Yu opened his mouth to read the words, and read out the oath he had recited when he married Liu Bei and Zhang Fei in Taoyuan.
After reading, Guan Yu looked at Zhang Liao and said: "Wenyuan, we have time tonight, let me tell you about it, let you comment on it, and see if he Liu Bei has fulfilled the oath mentioned above!" ”
"Yun Chang, please speak!" Zhang Liao could see that Guan Yu's mood seemed to be very unhappy now, and with the same feeling, he couldn't help but bow to Guan Yu with a solemn face, and then sat aside and listened.
"When I was crusading against the Yellow Turban, I won't say much about this, because at that time, our brothers had just debuted, and everyone was working hard for a common goal, and Liu Bei at that time had nothing to say. Maybe it's the same as Wen Yuan said Lu Bu, people will change, and later, Guan Mou actually noticed that Liu Bei had changed, becoming a little utilitarian, and becoming a little cautious, and he had to be careful in everything he did, for fear of offending people. There is a big difference in the pride and arrogance of the Yellow Turban Thieves at the beginning. ”
Guan Yu half-squinted Danfeng's eyes, as if recalling: "At that time, Guan really didn't expect that Liu Bei would give up when he said that he wanted to give up those volunteer brothers. When we came out of our hometown, we could still work together, but after defeating the Yellow Turban Thieves, we faced our volunteer brothers, wounded and killed. But he, for the sake of a small county official, hurriedly left to take office. You say, our oath to help the needy, has this been done? Those are all brothers who were born and died together, not to mention saving others, even their own brothers have not been able to save the needy. Wen Yuan, you say, did he do what he said in his oath? ”
"Cloud Chief." Zhang Liao saw that Guan Yu seemed to have a teardrop hanging from the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help but call Guan Yu a little heavy, and said, "Yun Chang, you don't need to say anything about this anymore, in fact, Zhang happens to know the way." ”
"Oh? Do you know the way? Guan Yu looked at Zhang Liao a little strangely.
"Hehe, what you said about Liu Bei giving up those volunteer brothers should mean Liu Yi and them, right?" Zhang Liao raised his hand, and said with a look of recollection: "I won't tell you anything, speaking of which, Zhang may be one of the few people who saw your little brother Liu Yi." At that time, my brother, Gao Shun, who you should also know, was seriously injured by Yuan Shao's subordinates Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and Zhang took Gao Shun to seek medical treatment, and happened to meet Miss Zhang Shao, the daughter of Zhang Jun, the former Langzhong. It was she who took Zhang to your volunteer camp. I saw with my own eyes that Liu Yi knocked down the Praetorian Guard soldiers who wanted to kill the good and risky soldiers. At that time, Zhang knew Liu Yi, but at that time, Liu Yi was just beginning to show his edge, but he couldn't enter Zhang's eyes, but it was his medical skills that made Zhang look at him differently and entrusted my brother Gao Shun to him for treatment. ”
"Ha Luha, it turns out that you have known Liu Yi a long time ago, very good, great." Guan Yu heard that Zhang Liao had already had a friendship with Liu Yi, and he couldn't help but be happy, especially seeing that Zhang Liao seemed to have a good impression of Liu Yi, and Zhilu persuaded Zhang Liao to vote for Liu Yi There should be a play.
"Well, later Zhang left Luoyang in a hurry because of the war at the border pass. However, after inquiring about Liu Yi, I learned that Liu Yi's disabled volunteers turned out to be Liu Bei's soldiers. Zhang Liao walked to Guan Yu's side. Let go and patted Guan Yu's broad shoulders and said, "Yun Chang, what you said is right, from this matter, Liu Bei really did not fulfill his oath, what did he say to save the needy?" His brothers were seriously injured like that and they didn't save their husbands, and if they talked about anything else, it would make people feel a little hypocritical. Disgusting. ”
"Isn't it? Guan thought about this, and felt sorry for Brother Liu Yi in his heart. Though. Now I see that those brothers from before are still alive, but Guan Mou's heart always feels a little uneasy, because. Guan also broke his oath. Therefore. Guan is really worthy of the word loyalty, and because of this, Guan Mou worked hard to be loyal. ”
"Yun Chang, how can I blame you for this? At that time, Liu Bei was your lord, and you and Zhang Fei had to listen to his ......"
Guan Yu waved his hand and interrupted Zhang Liao's words: "Even if it is murder." There are also main culprits and accomplices, and Guan also made such an oath. But if he didn't do it, that's Guan's mistake. ”
"Okay, Yun Chang, now we are not criticizing each other, nor are we blaming ourselves. Let's talk about Liu Bei. Zhang Liao couldn't bear to look at Guan Yu's self-reproachful expression, and said: "Liu Bei is indeed doing something wrong in this matter, you can talk about something else." ”
"Okay, then let's talk about reporting to the country." Guan Yu said: "To report to the country is to be loyal to the Han Dynasty and support the Han family, right?" ”
"Yes." Zhang Liao didn't think about it.
"What is a country? What is home? For us Han, the Han court is our country, our home, and the Han family is the object we want to support. Wen Yuan, you say, is the young emperor of the New Han Dynasty considered the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty? Is the New Han Dynasty considered the Han Dynasty? ”
"This ...... Whether it is the Young Emperor or the Xian Emperor, the court of Luoyang, or the court of Xu Du, according to Zhang's shallow view, they can be regarded as the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, after all, the Young Emperor and the Xian Emperor are the sons of our first emperor of the Han Dynasty. Zhang Liao hesitated.
"That's right, whether it is the young emperor or the dedicated emperor, it can be regarded as the orthodoxy of the Han family. As for which court is better, let's not talk about it first. Let's just say, didn't Liu Bei say that he wanted to serve the country? Then why didn't he join the court of the New Han Dynasty or Xu Du? Well, not to mention the imperial court established by your lord Cao Cao, I believe Wen Yuan also knows in your heart that this imperial court, Emperor Xian is just Cao Cao's puppet. Liu Bei doesn't vote, and I Guan Yu have nothing to say. But what about the New Han Dynasty? Not to mention whether Liu Yi is the same as Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, without knowing how the Xinhan Dynasty fell, Liu Bei never thought of serving this court at all. Moreover, many times when he could be effective, Liu Bei deliberately refused to serve the New Han Dynasty. What does he say about serving the country? Does that make sense? ”
Guan Yu said a little angrily: "What's more, how Liu Yi is a person, can our brothers not know?" Liu Yi is working hard for the imperial court, and what have we done for the imperial court? When the court needs us, we don't work for it, is this reasonable? Liu Bei, he just wants to maintain his independence, and he wants to be like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, like Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and other princes, and wants to win a piece of territory to develop his own power. I can see through it now, Liu Bei, he is planning for himself at all, not really for the Han court. ”
"At the beginning, Liu Yi had just gotten Luoyang from Dong Thief, Liu Bei not only did not help, Guan and Zhang Fei, because they were ashamed, wanted to help Liu Yi rebuild the imperial court, but Liu Bei used some excuses, so that Guan and Zhang Fei had to leave in frustration. You say, if Liu Bei is really for the Han family, at that time, is it time for him to leave? ”
"It shouldn't be." Zhang Liao also said sincerely: "At that time, Liu Yi's situation was really not good, although Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, but he still had absolute troops, in addition, at that time, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and other princes also wanted to occupy Luoyang. Zhang also understands these things. Well, if your brothers had helped me at that time, Leo Yi might have had some ease. ”
"That's right, later, the New Han Dynasty had to fight against the Huns and Dong Zhuo. It's really not easy. Guan Yu nodded in agreement with what Zhang Liao said.
"Hehe, if it weren't for Yun Chang, you would have really not known what kind of person Liu Bei was, and he had always thought that Uncle Liu Huang was benevolent." Zhang Liao can now see that Guan Yu seems to have a big opinion about Liu Bei, and only in this way will Guan Yu say something about Liu Bei in front of him.
"Let's talk about An Lishu." Guan Yu said: "Liu Yi was in Jizhou Julu to shake the disaster, very close to the plain where we were stationed at that time. Liu Yi was attacked by hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin Yellow Turbans for the sake of the people, but Liu Bei never mentioned that he would send troops to help Liu Yi protect the people. Afterward. Liu Yi, Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan joined forces to destroy Zhang Yan in Montenegro, but Liu Bei refused to participate, such an act is the behavior of Xia An Lishu? ”
"Well, in this way, Liu Bei's behavior is indeed a violation of the oath to report to the country and go down to An Lishu." Zhang Liao said affirmatively.
"I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year." Guan Yu held the wine jug. He said to the full moon, which had risen a lot: "Not long ago, Liu Bei actually let Zhang Fei stay alone in Xiaopei, knowing that he was invincible to your Cao Cao army. still want to put Zhang Fei to death. Afterwards, Xiao Pei lost, and he left Guan to guard Xuzhou, and he led the army to flee alone. Hehe. This is also considered to be the same year, the same month, and the same day? ”
"Cloud Chief. Say no more. Zhang Liao understood. "Zhang Liao now really understands everything and understands the pain in Guan Yu's heart.
Alas, with such a righteous big brother on the stall, Zhang Liao really felt a little sad for Guan Yu and felt the same way. Well, he followed Lu Bu himself, although Lu Bu was not a master. However, Zhang Liao was not as entangled as Guan Yu.
But. Guan Yu is different, Guan Yu and Liu Bei have a sense of righteousness, and with the fetters of this friendship, Guan Yu may be difficult to leave Liu Bei in this life. Unless Guan Yu doesn't care about this name of loyalty. But on the contrary, Guan Yu is such a loyal person who is consistent in his words and deeds. Even if Guan Yu has seen through Liu Bei's character, but because of this righteous feeling, Guan Yu really can't abandon Liu Bei and vote for another master.
Zhang Liao can also see from Guan Yu's words that Guan Yu's heart should have wanted to join Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty, but because of his friendship with Liu Bei, he could not openly turn his back on Liu Bei and join the New Han Dynasty.
"Not only that, Liu Bei should be worried that Guan Mou will chill our subordinates because of his private escape, and he also said in a high-sounding manner that he would lead the army to ambush your Cao army, and entrust his wife to Guan Mou......"
"Ha Lu Ha ......" Zhang Liao interrupted Guan Yu's words and said: ", Zhang Mou knows about this matter, where did Liu Bei come to ambush our army?" According to General Li Dian, what he saw was Liu Bei coming out of the west of the city, and then making a circle, trying to go around from the north of Xuzhou. Instead, he was ambushed by Li Dian on his military horse. ”
"Alas, it turns out that Liu Bei is afraid that you will abandon him, especially leaving his wife to you to protect him, if Yun Chang you don't die, you can escape this catastrophe, and finally have to protect his wife back to his side. Well, this Liu Bei is really calculating. Zhang Liao continued: "No wonder, with Yun Chang's ability, why do you want to stay in Xiapi, in fact, if Yun Chang wants to leave, our Cao Jun may not be able to stop it." ”
"Okay, let's not talk about this, come in, eat, these days, we have been forced by your Cao Jun, we really haven't had a good meal." Guan Yu didn't want to say this anymore, stood up, turned back into the pavilion, grabbed a roast chicken and nibbled a few bites.
However, he said not to talk about it himself, after eating something and relieving his mood, Guan Yu said again: "Now, Wen Yuan knows the way, we both have eyes and beads, have the same experience, and follow the wrong person." ”
"Yun Chang, let's have a toast for us to have the same painful experience."
"!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Liao drank for three rounds, and their faces, which were already a little ruddy, became even redder because of the smell of alcohol, and Guan Gong was really red-faced.
Guan Yu seemed to be brewing his emotions for a while, and then he looked at Zhang Liao with burning eyes and said, "Wenyuan, this time Guan promised to go out of the city to drink and talk with you, but in fact, he has something to say to you." ”
"Yun Chang, please speak." Zhang Liao said with a little surprise.
"I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I couldn't tell you because of my identity before. Now, you already know Guan's situation, so tonight Guan will open his heart and tell you. Guan Yu said to Zhang Liao calmly: "Actually, Guan Mou has long taken refuge in the Liu Yi brothers of the New Han Dynasty, but I, the Liu Yi brother, understand my Guan Mou's personality, and he can't bear to let Guan Mou violate the relationship with Liu Bei, so Guan Mou and Zhang Fei have always stayed by Liu Bei's side." ”
"Huh? You, did you really vote for Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty? Zhang Liao said in disbelief.
"Really, there is no need to lie to you, this matter, except for Guan and his third brother Zhang Fei, as well as some of the original Wenchen in Xuzhou, no one knows the way." Guan Yu nodded cautiously.
"I see...... No wonder, no wonder when Zhang was besieged in Xiapi by your and Cao Cao's army, my brothers Gao Shun and Liu Yi and others were able to sneak into Xiapi City through the siege of Cao Cao's army. You should have helped arrange for them to enter Xiapi City, right? Zhang Liao was a little relieved, and only then did he know why Gao Shun was able to sneak into Picheng to find him.
"That's right, it was indeed Guan who answered them at the beginning." Guan Yu admitted it bluntly.
"Wen Yuan, I want you to leave Cao Cao and join the New Han Dynasty, because only the New Han Dynasty can truly revitalize the Han Dynasty, and only Liu Yi can be loyal to the Han Dynasty. If you follow Cao Cao, in the future, it will only be a failure. Guan Yu looked at Zhang Liao with hopeful eyes.
"Cloud Chief...... This ......" Zhang Liao heard that Guan Yu was acting as a lobbyist and wanted to rebel against him, which made him a little embarrassed. You must know that Lu Dao was originally his lord Cao Cao who wanted him to persuade Guan Yu to surrender. (To be continued......)
