Chapter 755: Xiaopei garrisoned troops
God's will actually caused Zhang Zhongjing to resuscitate Liu Bei, who was almost brain-dead, and Chen Long lost his general Guan Yunchang. But asking Guan Yu to immediately rebel and attack Juancheng was something that Guan Yu, who prided himself on being unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, could not do at any cost.
Liu Bei was well aware of Guan Yu's nature, and knew that he would appear unkind if pressed. He immediately arranged for Guan Yu to return to the city to fetch his wife, and then led his troops to join Liu Zhang. Guan Yu's wife, whose surname was Du, was the widow of Qin Yilu, the former general under Lu Bu. Guan Yu saw her beauty and was lonely in the military, so he married Du and returned home.
Guan Yu said goodbye to his eldest brother and his third brother, and quickly returned to Juancheng. Seeing that the general was returning to the city alone, the gatekeepers did not dare to delay, so they quickly opened the door and let him in. Guan Yu did not go to the city lord's palace, but rode directly back to his small courtyard. When he entered the door, he said to Du: "Hurry up and pack your luggage, and don't need anything heavy. Pack it up and set off immediately."
Du knew that Guan Yu was a red-faced man, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She just thought that Juancheng was going to be captured by bandits, so she hurriedly cleaned up. Guan Yu had already pulled a carriage and moved Du and the packed parcels up. He ordered several personal guards to immediately escort the carriage to the military camp outside the city.
Several personal guards received the order and hurriedly drove the carriage. Guan Yu was alone, riding a red rabbit horse, and slowly walked towards the city lord's palace. Since Cao Zhang's army pressed the territory, Guan Yu went out of the city to set up camp to meet the enemy. The city lord's palace was naturally presided over by Zhou Buji. Guan Yu slowly walked to the door of the city lord's palace and said to the guard sergeant: "Guan Yunchang is here to see Zhou's military advisor. Report quickly."
Zhou Buyi started his career in Lingling following Chen Long since he was a child. He was originally a legend of undefeated strategist in the Qinglong Army. Guan Yu has a heroic nature, so he must be clear about coming and going. He is here to formally bid farewell to his military advisor. When we meet again on the battlefield in the future, they will already be hostile forces.
Guan Yu didn't know that Zhou Buyi had already received a report from the front line, saying that Guan Yu had a duel with a big black man, and there was no winner in dozens of fights. However, he seemed to be very familiar with Guan Yu, and everyone said that he was an old friend of Guan Yu. Zhou Buyi is so smart. When he heard it, he thought he was Guan Yu's third sworn brother Zhang Fei. Out of suspicion, he had already ordered more eyeliners to keep an eye on Guan Yu's every move.
Although Zhou Buyi didn't know Liu Bei's existence yet, as soon as Guan Yu returned to the city, an informant informed Zhou Buyi. Immediately after Du went out in a carriage, Zhou Buji secretly sneered, thinking that Guan Yu might rebel, so Zhou Buji secretly sent people to Yecheng to fetch Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang, and also asked the guard leader to monitor the army to prevent The sergeants mutinied on the battlefield.
Little did they know that Guan Yu, who prided himself on being loyal and righteous, now sincerely wanted to say goodbye to his military advisor. Although Zhou Buyi was notified, he was told that Guan Yu was riding a horse with his sword in hand. He could not confirm Guan Yu's intention, so he only ordered someone to send word that he was not in the city. Guan Yu had no choice but to hand the key to the house to the doorman and said: "In the past, when a certain family got married, the military advisor of Zhou Dynasty gave him a big house. It has been sheltered from wind and rain. To this day, Guan has nothing to repay, only the original items are returned. Furniture, belongings, servants and women have all been given." They are all here. The red rabbit and horse were also given by the former benefactor. However, following a certain person for a long time and having a deep love for each other, and having to travel thousands of miles, I will not return it. I will repay this favor in the future. I say goodbye to you now."
The guard looked at Guan Yu blankly after hearing this and said, "General Guan...is leaving?"
Guan Yu twisted his body onto his horse, turned around and bowed his head without saying a word. After a long time, he said: "A man has to do something, and I have no choice but to go here today. I am rude to you, and I hope that I will convey my apology to you in front of the military advisor." After saying that, he gave a loud shout, and the red rabbit horse started to take off after hearing the sound, and disappeared in a flash. At the end of the street.
The guard watched the red rabbit horse disappear without a trace, shaking his head and sighing. Zhou Buji turned around. He had listened to Guan Yu's words very clearly. He knew that something big had happened to Guan Yu, and it would be difficult to turn back. What should I do?
Without Guan Yu to defend the city, only Yan Liang was Cao Zhang's opponent. Now that Yan Liang has not arrived, if both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei defect to Cao Zhang, Juancheng will be in danger, all the Yellow River crossings will be lost, and the Qinglong Army in the Yellow River Basin will face the situation of complete annihilation.
Zhou Buyi frowned and thought, suddenly thinking of a person, he couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile. If this person comes, even if Guan, Zhang and Cao come together, they may not be his opponent. He turned around and ordered his bodyguard: "Hurry and organize the people to return to Yecheng and ask Yan Liang to bring the amnesiac giant with him when he comes."
The personal guards immediately allocated five or six people to convey Zhou Buyi's order. The Qinglong Army has always been popular, and in less than a moment, these five or six sergeants had already beaten their horses, rushed out of the north gate of Juancheng like a whirlwind, and ran towards the ferry.
Seeing that arrangements had been made in the north, Zhou Buji said to his bodyguard: "Light up your troops immediately and go to Guan Yu to camp." What Zhou Buji was thinking was that if Guan Yu left, he would immediately rush to the camp outside to suppress the sergeants. Lest the sergeants really follow Guan Yu in mutiny or even surrender to Cao Jun.
Zhou Buyi left nearly 5,000 men to defend the city, assembled a main force of more than 10,000 men, and went straight to the field camp to confront Cao Jun in the suburbs. Prior to this, Guan Yu, who was riding a red rabbit horse, had already rushed out of the city gate and shot an arrow into his camp. The soldiers were clueless when they suddenly saw their general returning unharmed. They immediately cheered loudly and conveyed the news that their commander was unharmed. The news instantly boosted military morale.
A white horse came over from the camp at a low speed. A man on the horse was tall and thin, with a face as white as jade, tight red lips, and smooth brows. His figure looked very masculine and fit, and he also had a bright long machete in his hand. When this man saw Guan Yu, he was overjoyed and said, "Father! Foster!"
When Guan Yu saw the visitor, he quickly reined in the red rabbit horse and shouted: "Ping'er! Have you ever received your foster mother's carriage?"
The coming general bowed respectfully and said, "Don't worry, adoptive father. My adoptive mother is resting in the main tent now."
Guan Yu nodded and said: "Quickly pick up your own soldiers and follow me out of the camp." The general known as Ping'er was slightly startled, and then without asking any more questions, he immediately turned back and shouted loudly along the camp: "One company, Second company, third company, and fourth company, get out of camp and line up immediately!"
Guan Yu watched Ping'er shouting all the way, and the soldiers came out of the tent like water and rushed directly to gather outside the camp. These four companies are what Guan Yu calls his own soldiers. They are all trained by Guan Yu and Heping'er on a daily basis, so they are absolutely loyal to Guan Yu. The total number is only a thousand, and half of them are cavalry.
Seeing that the whole camp was busy and orderly, Guan Yu went to his main tent, rolled his saddle and dismounted, asked his men to hold the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and entered the main tent through the curtain. On the chair in the middle of the main tent, a woman stood up and asked: "Did you see Ping'er? What happened? Why did you suddenly leave the Qinglong Army?"
Guan Yu glanced at Du Shi blankly and felt sad when he saw that she was not wearing any makeup and was wearing plain clothes and a hairpin skirt, but she still couldn't cover up her beauty. I'm afraid I don't know the answers to these questions of Du's. Why did he leave the Qinglong Army? Because my eldest brother is alive again and has a sworn hatred with the Lord of the Blue Dragon, can’t I walk?
When Mrs. Du saw Guan Yu's red face, which alternated between red and white, and his phoenix eyes narrowed into a thin line, she thought Guan Yu was unwilling to answer, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions. Although she was dissatisfied, she knew that Guan Yu was a red-faced man. If she asked urgent questions, Du was a little afraid that Guan Yu would be angry.
The horn outside had been whining for a long time. Guan Yu had been standing silently in the main tent. Feeling that the time was almost up, he said to Du Shi, "Let's go."
Guan Yu personally helped Du Shi onto the carriage, climbed onto the horse himself, and shouted: "Let's go!"
Even if the other soldiers in the camp noticed something was wrong, they didn't dare to ask more questions and watched this small team walk out of the camp. Guan Yu rode up to the thousands of Guan soldiers lined up outside the camp, and told Ping'er: "Order everyone to take off their Qinglong Army armor and abandon it, and then go all the way south to station troops at Xiaopei."
A look of disbelief flashed across Ping'er's face, but he immediately conveyed the order. Guan Yu looked far away outside the city walls of Juancheng, his head rising. He knew that Zhou Buyi had led a large army to dispatch, and silently said in his heart: "Lord of Qinglong, you saved my life in the past, and you trusted me." Jia, I will not take away any of your soldiers today, nor will I plan to seize your Juancheng, so I can be considered worthy of you. If I see the battlefield again in my lifetime, I will definitely avenge my brother's death. The only one to blame is the Lord of Qinglong. , why did you put my eldest brother to death in the past?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
