After seeing Sun Qian leave, Liu Bei distributed the others, leaving only three people, Yu Yi, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. He said: "We have been sworn brothers since Taoyuan. We vow to live and die together and prosper the Han Dynasty together. It's a pity that we have no power." If not, I have limited abilities, bad luck, and no better direction. Whether I can enter Jingzhou this time is still unknown. I would like to hear other people's suggestions for Yunnan." Guan Yu said: "There are many miasmas in Yunnan, and the barbarians are aliens. There are many, so it is very difficult to enter Yunnan."
Zhang Fei said: "I have never been to Yunnan, but starting from here will take a lot of time. Besides, there are many barren mountains and ridges there. We can endure hardships, but what should the sisters-in-law do?"
Yuyi didn't expect that several of his brothers would raise objective difficulties. This was actually very obvious. They actually didn't want to go to Yunnan.
Liu Bei nodded and looked at Yuyi again, wanting to know his final opinion.
In fact, when Liu Bei raised the difficulties, Yu Yi also realized the problem. Remembering the many times in the early days when Liu Bei did not listen to his opinions, which led to the defeat, he believed that it would be difficult to achieve a great success if this continued, so he said: "Brothers of all of you, I can understand your mood. The idea of stationing in Yunnan was something we had when we were in Xuzhou. Later, when I was imprisoned in a cell by Yuan Jun in Daoxiang Village, I made detailed plans. There were definitely difficulties, but it was not impossible, so I want to give it a try, and I hope my eldest brother can support me.”
This statement has clearly stated his thoughts. Liu Bei is not an autocratic person. He said: "In this case, I think we have to divide our troops into two groups. You must pay attention to safety on the road. If you fail, it doesn't matter. Brothers I’ll always be waiting for you!”
Thinking of the care given to him by his elder brothers, Yu Yi was moved to tears and vowed: "I will definitely win Yunnan and strive for a more stable strategic direction for my elder brother."
Just since Runan was defeated, even a farewell banquet could not be held. Everyone simply ate some food and then started to see him off.
When seeing him off, a big man like Zhang Fei actually had tears in his eyes and said: "Fourth brother, I don't teach you many martial arts, but they are enough for you to use. No matter where you are in the future, if you are bullied, come here." Come to me and I will definitely help you sort it out."
Yu Yi chuckled and thought to himself: "There are no planes or trains. Even if we do encounter one, it will take you a long time to get here. By then, the person will have already left."
However, he could also feel Zhang Fei's kindness and replied: "Don't worry, Third Brother, you must protect the safety of Big Brother when the time comes."
Next is Guan Yu. In the process of escorting his wife, the friendship between the two further improved. He said: "The trip to Yunnan is full of difficulties, so I hope you take it seriously."
Yu Yi smiled and said, "Brother Guan, the jump-up-attack technique you taught me is very useful. This time I was protecting my brother and I used this technique to repel Gao Lan."
Guan Yu shook his head and said: "My martial arts has indeed improved, but you still killed the opponent with a flying knife."
Yu Yi stuck out his tongue. He knew that Guan Yu believed that the flying knife was a hidden weapon and it was dishonorable to use it in a martial arts contest.
But this time Guan Yu did not criticize Yu Yi, and asked him to use the flying knife well. After all, it is only reasonable if his life is alive.
Zhao Yun also came to see Yu Yi off. As a native of Changshan, Hebei Province, and half a fellow villager with Yu Yi, he felt very cordial when Yu Yi recruited him, and among these people, he was the only one who agreed to station in Yunnan. , it is a pity that his mission is to protect Liu Bei, so he cannot go with Yu Yi.
Basically everyone came to see Yu Yi off, but there was only one key person missing, and that was Liu Bei.
Yu Yi turned around many times, hoping to see his eldest brother Liu Bei, but still didn't see it. Finally he heard the sound of horse hooves, and it was a Lu horse.
Liu Bei rode up to Yu Yi. After dismounting, he handed an object in his arms to Yu Yi. Yu Yi took it and took a look at it. He was speechless for a moment. It turned out to be the blood letter of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but it was not the original. It seemed to be Copied.
Liu Bei said: "The journey is difficult, please take care!"
Yu Yi said: "I will definitely keep in mind the goal of reviving the Han Dynasty and capture Yunnan as soon as possible to bring good news to my elder brother."
The night before he was about to leave, there was another important reminder in the ancient book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which mentioned another person, that is Zhuge Liang, commonly known as Wolong. It is said that he has amazing talents. Yu Yi took this opportunity to tell Liu Bei, saying: " I calculated based on the "Book of Changes" that the eldest brother will enter Jingzhou smoothly and meet a very good counselor named Zhuge Liang. I hope that the eldest brother will make good use of him, and then the foundation will be solid." After saying that, he turned and left, Liu Bei said If I want to ask more specifically, Yu Yi is already far away.
According to the plan, Sun Qian went to Jingzhou to meet Liu Biao. After saluting, Liu Biao said: "You are Liu Bei's man, why did you come to me?"
Sun Qian said: "Liu Bei is a hero in the world. Although his troops are weak, his ambition is to help the country. Liu Pi and Gong Du in Runan are not related, but they are willing to die to repay the favor. Ming Gong is a Han man like you. Family clan, now my lord has just lost a battle in Runan, and is going to Jiangdong to seek refuge with Sun Quan. Then I came out and suggested that you should not betray your relatives and seek refuge with those who are alienated. General Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Li Xian, and corporal, talented people should seek refuge with him. It's like running water, not to mention that you are all members of the Han clan. So I sent you to report first, hoping that Duke Ming can accept us."
After hearing this, Liu Biao was very happy and said: "Liu Bei is like my younger brother. I have always wanted to meet him but never had the chance. Now I am willing to come to Jingzhou. It is really an honor!"
Liu Biao was very hospitable, but his subordinate Cai Mao said: "No, Liu Bei first followed Lu Bu, then worked as an errand under Cao Cao, and recently defected to Yuan Shao, but none of them resulted in a good result. This is enough to show the quality of this man." , if we accept him, then Cao Cao will definitely use troops against us, causing us to fall into a passive state. It is better to behead Sun Qian directly and give his head to Cao Cao. Cao Cao will definitely attach great importance to the lord."
The matter of losing one's head was not a joke. Sun Qian's mind was spinning rapidly and he said seriously: "Since I, Sun Qian, have come to Jingzhou, I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. It's just that my lord is loyal to the country and wants to revive the Han Dynasty. This He is incomparable to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu and others. He had no choice but to take refuge with them and work with them before. Now General Liu Biao is also from the same clan and lineage, a member of the Han Dynasty. It is because of this that my lord traveled thousands of miles. Come and take refuge, why do you offer such slander to General Liu Biao? Are you so jealous of the virtuous?"
After hearing this, Liu Biao felt that something was wrong, so he reprimanded: "I have already decided on this matter. I want to accept Liu Bei, so you don't need to say more!"
Cai Mao was naturally very unconvinced and left with hatred.
