Zhang Fei fell into silence after hearing this and did not answer for a long time. Then he put on his shirt and led more than a thousand troops out of the north gate.
Sun Qian was surprised and didn't understand Zhang Fei's behavior. He didn't dare to ask, so he just followed Zhang Fei out of the city.
Guan Yu was very happy to see Zhang Fei coming to greet him in person. He gave Zhou Cang the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and rode to find Zhang Fei.
Yu Yi saw that Zhang Fei's expression was wrong and he clearly didn't come to greet him, so he quickly shouted: "Second brother, be careful!"
When Guan Yu came closer, he saw Zhang Fei with his eyes wide open, his beard erect, roaring like thunder, and without giving Guan Yu a chance to defend himself, the eight-foot steel spear pointed at Guan Yu.
Fortunately, when Yu Yi reminded him, Guan Yu was prepared and hurriedly dodged and shouted: "Brother Xian, what are you doing? Have you forgotten that we are sworn brothers in Taoyuan?"
Zhang Fei said: "You still dare to mention the four sworn ties in Taoyuan to me. You are not worthy at all. You have no friendship. How can you come to meet me?"
Guan Yu was very confused and asked: "Why am I so ruthless and unjust?"
Zhang Fei said: "Don't think that I don't know. After we were separated, you betrayed our alliance and took refuge with Cao Cao. You were awarded the title of Marquis. You also assisted Cao Cao in killing Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and framed your eldest brother for injustice. Now you are here again." Come here and lie to me, I think you are helping Cao Cao to regain the city, I will definitely fight to the death with a villain like you!"
Guan Yu said: "I took refuge with Cao Cao. During this period, there were many things that I couldn't say. You can ask your fourth brother Yu Yi. There are two sisters-in-law here as well. You can ask them in person."
Yu Yi quickly came out to clarify, saying: "I went to greet the second brother in person on the order of the eldest brother. You don't know that the second brother made a three-part agreement after he took refuge with Cao Cao. Later, he got the news that the eldest brother and I were in Hebei, and he passed five passes and killed six. If you come to us in the future, please don’t accuse him unjustly.”
Zhang Fei still didn't believe it and said: "Fourth brother, you are still speaking for this villain. Could it be that Cao Cao has also given you many benefits?"
Yu Yi had no choice but to ask his two sisters-in-law to explain. The two ladies had already heard about the situation and quickly got out of the carriage and shouted: "Uncle, why are you doing this?"
Zhang Fei still didn't believe it and said: "The two sisters-in-law must have been threatened by thieves. Don't be afraid. I will kill these two ungrateful people and then personally welcome the two sisters-in-law into the ancient city."
Yu Yi didn't expect that Zhang Fei would also regard him as the target of execution. This was a bad situation.
Mrs. Gan said quickly: "Second uncle didn't know your whereabouts, so he temporarily settled at Cao Cao's place. Today he found out that your brother and fourth brother were in Runan, so he didn't avoid danger and escorted us all the way here. It's true. Third uncle made a mistake."
Mrs. Mi also assisted in the defense and said: "When my second uncle was in Xudu, it was all out of helplessness."
Zhang Fei said: "The two sisters-in-law are kind-hearted. Don't be deceived by him. A loyal minister would rather die than be insulted. How can a man have the sense to serve two lords?"
Guan Yu explained: "Brother Xian really wishes for me."
At this time, Sun Qian also came out to speak and said: "General Guan Yu came specifically to look for you. You really blamed him wrongly."
Zhang Fei said: "Why are you talking nonsense! How could he have good intentions? He must be here to catch me!"
Yu Yi knew that this was not clear, so he analyzed it for Zhang Fei: "You have a thousand troops and there are only a few of us. How can you say that we are here to arrest you?"
Zhang Fei pointed to the army and horses behind him and said, "Isn't it Cao's army behind you?"
Guan Yu and Yu Yi looked behind at the same time, and sure enough they saw where the dust was flying. A pair of men and horses were rushing over quickly. The wind blew the flag, and they could clearly see the word Cao written on it. It was indeed Cao Jun.
Zhang Fei said angrily: "What else do you have to say now?" After saying that, he took the Zhangba steel spear and prepared to attack Guan Yu again.
Yu Yi set up his iron halberd, blocked Zhang Fei's weapon, and said: "Third brother, please stop first and watch me go up and kill this general to express my sincerity."
Zhang Fei shook his head, pointed at Guan Yu and said: "He is sincere when he goes to kill the incoming general. I am playing the three-way drum here and let him go and kill the incoming general!"
Yu Yi wanted to say something, but Guan Yu stopped him. He took the Qinglong Yanyue Sword from Zhou Cang and rode back on the red rabbit horse. Yu Yi followed.
Soon after, Cao's army arrived, led by Cai Yang.
He rode his horse and came with his sword drawn, and shouted: "You killed my nephew Qin Qi, who has been hiding in this place. I followed the Prime Minister's order and came here to capture you!"
Guan Yu sneered and didn't answer. He raised his sword and went forward. Zhang Fei played the drums himself. Before the first drum beat ended, Cai Yang's head had already been chopped off at the place where Guan Yu raised his Qinglong Yanyue Sword. Others After seeing this, all Cao's troops were very frightened and fled one after another.
Yu Yi took advantage of the chaos and captured a soldier carrying a flag alive and asked why.
The soldier must have joined the army not long ago, but he was so frightened that he peed his pants and cried: "Cai Yang was very angry when he heard that the general killed his nephew. He wanted to come to Hebei to fight General Guan Yu. The prime minister disagreed, so he sent him I went to Runan to attack Liu Pi, but I didn’t expect to meet General Guan Yu here.”
Yuyi caught him and went to Zhang Fei, asking him to tell Zhang Fei what happened.
So Zhang Fei secretly brought this soldier to the city and interrogated him about all the details of Guan Yu's stay in Xudu. In order to confirm the authenticity of some things, he even used criminal law. In the end, Zhang Fei finally believed that Guan Yu did not He was indeed wronged if he really took refuge with Cao Cao.
While he was talking, suddenly soldiers from the ancient city came to report: "Dozens of cavalry came outside the south gate of the city. I don't know who they are?"
Zhang Fei was suspicious after hearing this, so he took everyone to check. Sure enough, he saw a dozen cavalry approaching. They saw Zhang Fei's figure from a distance and were very happy. When they got nearby, they quickly dismounted and bowed.
Yu Yi saw that the two men were disheveled and their faces were covered with fly ash. They were very embarrassed, but they still recognized their appearance clearly. They were the two generals Mi Zhu and Mi Fang. He quickly called Zhang Fei to recognize them.
Everyone looked at each other and Mi Zhu said: "After Xuzhou was separated, it was difficult for us two brothers to return to our hometown. We sent people to inquire around along the way and learned that Guan Yu had surrendered to Cao Cao, and that the lord had defected to Yuan Shao in Hebei. He also heard that Jian Yong had gone. Hebei, I don’t know where the general is. Yesterday we met a pair of businessmen on the road. They told me that there was a general named Zhang. He also described your appearance. He occupied the ancient city and recruited troops there. We thought he must be General Zhang Fei, I brought someone here to visit you. I didn’t expect it to be you. I’m really lucky.”
Yu Yi also nodded and said: "We just arrived in front, and you guys will come back later. It seems like this is a happy reunion."
