"Shut up, you are not allowed to slander my brother!"
After all, Guan Yu is a righteous general, and he cannot really remain silent just because of some threats.
Especially when Liu Zhang insulted Liu Bei in front of the Jingzhou generals, he couldn't bear it.
"Liu Zhang, if you have the ability, let's fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield!"
"You are not a hero if you slander others behind their backs!"
Liao Hua, Fu Kuang, and Feng Xi are all members of the Jingzhou family. Guan Yu must not let Liu Zhang wantonly discredit Liu Bei.
If these people believe it, it will spread throughout the Jingzhou family circle.
How much will it cost Liu Bei to clean up these stains?
Even if there was a huge threat, Guan Yu had to set an example.
The effect was huge, and Liao Hua and others agreed.
At the same time, he expressed his admiration for Guan Yu's righteous speech.
"Mr. Qin, we all think General Guan's words make sense."
"Victory is the right way!"
"Does Mr. Qin think that a few bad words can change our view of our lord?"
Before Liu Zhang said anything, a trace of pain flashed in Xu Shu's eyes.
Once upon a time, he was one of them!
It can only be said that Liu Bei's methods of deceiving people are indeed powerful.
He always makes people willing to die for him!
"Xu Jun...Xu Shu, what on earth is going on?"
"Did you really betray my lord?"
Fu Kuang couldn't help it at first and looked at Xu Shu again.
He and Xu Shu spent almost all day together, and the relationship between them was excellent.
From the time Liu Zhang invaded, Fu Kuang and Xu Shu spent all day studying how to deal with it.
How could this make Fu Kuang believe that Xu Shu was a traitor?
Xu Shu didn't speak, just shook his head gently.
He had no way to explain this matter. After all, it was related to the face of the current lord Liu Zhang.
Xu Shu couldn't say that Liu Zhang used cunning tactics to force him to change his banner, right?
The process is extremely complicated and tortuous, and some even don’t want to mention it.
But the result was that Xu Shu abandoned Liu Bei and returned to Liu Zhang's service.
Guan Yu snorted coldly when he saw this, and insulted Xu Shu with disdain again.
"Yuanbi, what doubts do you have now?"
"Look at this traitor's shameful look. Isn't it clear?"
"Shut up, you!"
Liu Zhang scolded angrily and almost gave Guan Yu a kick.
"Guan Yu, don't stand and talk without your back hurting!"
"I originally asked the big-eared thief to exchange 400,000 people for you, but Liu Bei only wanted to exchange 200,000 people for you and the generals of the Jingzhou family."
"More than 10,000 soldiers and Xu Shu are all abandoned!"
"I couldn't bear the separation between Xu Shu and my mother, so I wanted to exchange for Xu Shu's mother at some price. Unexpectedly, village man Zhuge slandered Xu Shu as a traitor and insisted on killing an old woman!"
"I can no longer stand being an outsider. In order to prevent Villager Zhuge from succeeding, I can only agree to Villager Zhuge's conditions and let you go."
"Xu Shu was disheartened by the big-eared thieves and Zhuge villagers, and was grateful for Gu's kindness. Only then did he suddenly realize that the prodigal son turned back!"
Fu Kuang said nothing more, but the melancholy in his eyes seemed to have a strange meaning.
The execution of Zhang Nan's family was already a shock, but Xu Shu was unexpectedly forced to rebel again.
Liao Hua and others were also silent, but like Fu Kuang, there seemed to be a vague color in their eyes.
Except for Guan Yu, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
This Jingzhou is really not peaceful. . .
When Liu Zhang complained on behalf of Xu Shu, Xu Shu also adjusted his mentality and looked at everyone except Guan Yu.
These people were once his subordinates.
"Everyone, no matter how the process goes, it is an indisputable fact that I, Xu Shu, am now a subordinate of Duke Qin."
"Everyone and I once had a friendship as colleagues, and we say goodbye here today!"
"If we meet each other in the future, there is no need to hold hands, we can face each other life or death!"
After saying this, Xu Shu bowed his hands and looked at everyone with determination in his eyes.
Except for Guan Yu, everyone couldn't help but be in awe.
As a former commander-in-chief, Xu Shu had strict military discipline, good rewards and punishments, and was loved by the entire army.
At least everyone believed that when Xu Shu was the commander-in-chief of the Jiangbei Army, he did nothing to let everyone down.
"Commander Xu, take care!"
"Take care, military advisor!"
"Commander Xu, take care!"
"Take care of yourself!"
. . .
The generals were not afraid of Guan Yu's glare and blurted out more and more farewells.
It also proves more and more how popular Xu Shu is in the army!
Xu Shu was so moved that his eye circles could not help but turn red.
The only people who are sorry for him are Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang!
Xu Shu had no resentment towards these former subordinates.
"Generals, brothers, take care of yourself!"
Liu Zhang on the side was also moved by this scene, and he was also glad that he did not force a war with Xu Shu.
Having such support from his subordinates and gathering the general's heart to such an extent is enough to prove the combat effectiveness this army once possessed.
Guan Yu also wisely closed his mouth and turned away.
This scene made him very envious.
At least Guan Yu himself has never received such support from his subordinates!
"Guan Er, do you have nothing to say? I tell you, this is what people want!"
"Go back and tell the big-eared thief that abandoning Xu Shu is the biggest failure of his life!"
Guan Yu felt even more mixed emotions in his heart when he heard Liu Zhang's peculiar address.
First he was kindly called Yunchang, then he was called General Guan with respect, and then he was called by his first name.
Unexpectedly, this was not over yet. Before leaving, he gave Guan Yu a new title.
This "Guan Er" also indicates that the last trace of respect for Guan Yu in Liu Zhang's heart has completely disappeared.
Being respected by the most powerful person in the world and turned into contempt is undoubtedly the heaviest blow.
Guan Yu's face narrowed slightly, feeling sad in his heart.
There was a time when he was proud of being valued by Liu Zhang.
Perhaps out of reluctance to part with these brothers who had shared weal and woe, Xu Shu asked Liu Zhang to step aside temporarily.
Liu Zhang had no objection to this. If it were him, he would have a lot of intolerance.
It is indeed a bit cruel that once brothers will become life and death enemies in the future.
Following Xu Shu's departure, Guan Yu and others became completely quiet.
There were no more heroic words, no more deep hatred, and everyone felt extremely heavy.
Even though he is about to return to Jingzhou, there is no sign of joy.
Not long after, the soldiers came to report that all the prisoners had been escorted.
An army of 20,000 people fully armored and armed with sharp swords was waiting in full formation, all of them were full of energy and high in fighting spirit.
Even if he is faced with an immediate attack, it is enough to guarantee that he will not be afraid.
More than 10,000 prisoners were surrounded in the center, enough to ensure that nothing was missed.
These demoralized prisoners, even without guards, would probably not cause any turmoil.
Without further delay, Liu Zhang ordered Gan Ning and Zhou Tai to lead 5,000 naval troops respectively to station in the Yangtze River and Zhang River to ensure the safety of both sides and form a pincer attack.
Then he personally led the army to continue marching to the designated place to exchange prisoners with Liu Bei.
