Shao Zhen couldn't find Cao Cao, so he ran to Jiaozhi.
After listening to Guo Jia's advice, Cao Cao temporarily abandoned Yuan Shao and Ma Teng, raised an army of 250,000, divided it into five groups, marched directly to Xuzhou, and killed Liu Bei. In desperation, Liu Bei sent Sun Qian to Yuan Shao to seek help again. Counselor Tian Feng believed that Xudu was empty at this time, and it was a good time to destroy Cao to achieve a great cause, so he urged Yuan Shao to send troops, but Yuan Shao had no intention of sending troops because his beloved boy was suffering from scabies. At this time, Cao Cao had already pressed the enemy's territory with a large number of troops. Zhang Fei came up with a plan to take advantage of the situation when Cao Cao's troops were exhausted and his foothold was unstable, so that he could rob the camp and defeat Cao Cao. Liu Bei followed, but he didn't know that Cao Cao had been prepared. He took advantage of the situation and captured Xiaopei, killed Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and surrounded Xiapi with heavy troops.
Cheng Yu proposed a plan and forced Guan Yu to a desperate situation. General Zhang Liao went to Tushan to surrender. For a long-term plan, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao agreed on three things. If Cao Cao didn't agree, he would rather die than surrender. Cao Cao always loved Guan Yu's martial arts and talents, so he agreed. After obtaining the consent of Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi, Guan Yu entered Cao's camp with his two sisters-in-law.
Liu Bei lost Xiaopei, Xuzhou and Xiapi, and had no place to stay, so he had no choice but to temporarily surrender to Yuan Shao. Zhang Fei broke out of the siege among the rebellious army and headed towards Mangdang Mountain. After Guan Yu had an appointment with Cao Cao in Tushan, while missing Liu Bei, he personally escorted Mrs. Gan and Mi and followed Cao Cao on the road back to Xudu.
On the way, Cao Cao deliberately placed Guan Yu and his two sisters-in-law in the same room, causing them to disrupt the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers. Guan Yu was furious and stood outside with a candle. He showed no signs of fatigue from night to day. Cao Cao watched with solemnity. He also took a collar of Yijin's battle robe and gave it to Guan Yu. Guan Yu took over the war robe and still wore the old robe outside. Cao Cao was surprised. Guan Yu said that the old robe was given by Emperor Liu's uncle. Wearing it was like seeing his brother's face. He could not forget the old one given by his brother with the prime minister's new gift, so he wore it outside. Cao Cao was stunned.
When they arrived in Xuchang, Cao Cao treated Guan Yu very favorably. He gave Guan Yu a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days. He also gave Guan Yu beautiful women, silk brocade, gold and silver utensils, etc. to buy his heart. On the one hand, he sent Zhang Liao to persuade him, and on the other hand, he gave Guan Yu the red rabbit and horse left by Lu Bu. Guan Yu deeply felt Cao Cao's kindness, but he could never forget Liu Huangshu's kindness. He only promised to perform meritorious service to repay the prime minister, and then he left. Cao Cao sighed repeatedly, but he deeply praised his victim for not forgetting his roots. He was truly a righteous man in the world!
At this time, Liu Bei spoke in Yuan Shao's Mansion in Jizhou to encourage Yuan Shaoxing to attack Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao followed his words. However, counselor Tian Feng believed that Cao's troops were strong at this time and it was not appropriate to send troops. He bluntly remonstrated with Yuan Shao, but he was thrown into death row. When the counselor Jushou and others saw this, they looked sad.
When Cao Cao heard that Yuan Shao had raised an army, he also hurriedly mobilized an army of 150,000 to fight. The vanguard general Yan Liang of Yuan's army was extremely powerful. He killed Song Xian and Wei Xu in the White Horse Company, and defeated Xu Huang. His force was unstoppable, and Cao Cao felt depressed. His face was unhappy. Cheng Yu proposed a plan to let Yun Chang out of the battle. Firstly, he could defeat Yan Liang, and secondly, he could make Yuan Shao suspicious of Liu Bei and kill him. Guan Yu didn't know that Liu Bei was at Yuan Shao's place, so in order to repay Cao Cao's kindness, he killed two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to kill Liu Bei, but was persuaded by his clever words. Liu Bei, who didn't know the inside story, wrote a letter to reproach Guan Yu for cutting off the relationship. Yun Chang knew his brother's whereabouts. He cried loudly and wrote back the letter with tears in his eyes. He ignored Cao Cao's kindness to stay and all kinds of obstacles, sealed the two with a seal and gold, and asked him to escort them. Sister-in-law Qianli Xunxiong. Cao Cao had no choice but to express his feelings for him, so he had to personally present the robes to each other at Baqiao. He watched Guan Yu disappear on his horse at the end of the world and sighed.
Guan Yu bid farewell to Cao Cao and chased Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi in the chariot. After traveling for more than thirty miles, he disappeared without a trace, and he felt very anxious. Suddenly he saw Liao Hua escorting the two ladies and informed Guan Yu that his companion Du Yuan had robbed the ladies and went up the mountain. He wanted to be rude and was killed by him. He specially escorted the ladies down the mountain to plead guilty to General Guan. Guan Yu bowed and thanked him. Liao Hua had heard about Guan Yu's name for a long time and wanted to follow him. Guan Yu was wandering in search of his old master for thousands of miles, so he wanted to travel alone with his two wives and his chariot. Liao Hua had no choice but to say goodbye.
While resting in a village, Hu Hua, the owner of the village, knew that he was Guan Yu's brother Qianli Xun. He was very moved and entertained him warmly. He wrote a letter to Guan Yu and asked him to hand it to his son Hu Ban when he arrived in Xingyang.
In front of Dongling Pass, the gatekeeper Kong Xiu asked Guan Yu for documents related to Cheng. Guan Yu told him that he was in a hurry and did not ask for it. Kong Xiu's soldiers were not allowed to pass the pass. Guan Yu was so angry that he jumped on his horse and killed Kong Xiu in one turn. The soldiers were all stunned, and Guan Yu asked them to tell Prime Minister Cao that Kong Xiu wanted to do harm, so he killed him.
Han Fu, the prefect of Luoyang, was shocked when he heard the news. Meng Tan proposed a plan to pretend defeat and lured Guan Yu. He wanted to shoot him with an arrow from a high place. Unexpectedly, the red rabbit horse jumped up and rushed in front of Meng Tan's horse. Guan Yu slashed Meng Tan on the ground. Get off your horse. Han Fu took advantage of the chaos and shot an arrow at Guan Yu, hitting his left arm. Guan Yu gritted his teeth, pulled out the arrow, shouted angrily, and rode his horse straight into the enemy formation. The soldiers were in chaos and fled in all directions. Han Fu was about to escape, but Guan Yu caught up with him and struck Han Fu under his horse.
Bian Xi, who was at Sishui Pass, was thinking hard and wanted to kill Guan Yu secretly with swords and axes when he was entertaining Guan Yu in Zhenguo Temple. Guan Yu was completely unprepared. At this critical moment, thanks to a hint from fellow Taoist priest Pu Jing, Guan Yu finally realized that he bravely fought against the group of stubborn people with his sword, and killed Bian Xi with a single blow.
Wang Zhi, the prefect of Xingyang, was very courteous to Guan Yu. After entertaining him warmly, he promised to send Guan Yu out on his way out in person tomorrow morning. However, he secretly ordered Hu Ban to gather a thousand troops and horses to surround the post and set fire to Guan Yu and his men at the third watch. wait. After Hu Ban arranged everything, he was about to light the fire, but suddenly he wanted to see what the famous Guan Yunchang looked like. He quietly pushed open the door of the library and entered, only to see Guan Yu, majestic and majestic, with a beard in his left hand and a book in his right hand, reading under the lamp. He looked like a god. Hu Ban was deeply touched and unconsciously made a sound to alarm Guan Yu, so he simply entered the house. Guan Yu asked and found out that he was Hu Ban, so he gave him the letter from his father Hu Hua. Hu Ban was horrified after reading the letter. He deeply regretted that he had almost killed Zhongliang by mistake. He fell to his knees with a plop, told Wang Zhi in detail about his intention to harm, and opened the city gate to let Guan Yu go. Wang Zhi heard about it and led his troops to pursue him, but Guan Yu raised his hand and chopped him off his horse with a sword.
Liu Yan, the governor of Huazhou Realm, believed what Guan Yu said and did not create any difficulties. However, he was afraid of Xiahou Dun's power and was afraid of being blamed by the prime minister, so he did not dare to ferry Guan Yu across the Yellow River. Guan Yu had no choice but to go along the river. When they reached the Yellow River Ferry Pass, they were stopped by the guard Qin Qi again. Guan Yu begged for help, but Qin Qi was rude, so they had no choice but to fight. Guan Yu sideways dodged Qin Qi, who was rushing towards him on horseback. He raised his sword and cut Qin Qi under the horse, and seized the boat to cross the river. The bow of the boat was cutting through the waves. Guan Yu stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the surging river water. He recalled the hardships and obstacles along the way, his heart was ups and downs, and he had thousands of thoughts. A few tears rolled out of the corners of his eyes.
When the boat was crossing the ferry, Sun Qian came over and told Liu Bei that he had escaped to join Liu Pi in Runan for fear of being harmed by Yuan Shao. Just when Guan Yu, Sun Qian and others were getting on their horses and about to go, they saw smoke billowing in the distance, war horses neighing, and a group of people and horses stampeding towards them, shouting: "Guan Yu, stop leaving!"
When Guan Yu saw that there were more soldiers coming to kill him, he hurriedly asked Sun Qian to escort his wife and chariots to leave first. He immediately faced Xiahou Dun who came with his sword and sword alone. The two were about to fight when Cao Cao happened to send two envoys to say that the Prime Minister respected General Guan for his loyalty and issued a special document to spread everywhere. Xiahou Dun was angry with Guan Yu and beheaded his general Qin Qi. Still claiming that the prime minister didn't know about Guan Yu's passing and beheading the general, he drew his gun and fought with Guan Yu. When the two men were killing each other until the sky was dark, Zhang Liao arrived on the order of the prime minister and persuaded Xiahou Dun to stop. Guan Yu thanked Zhang Liao and set off again.
In Guochangzhuang, the son of Guo Chang, who was not doing his job, stole the red rabbit horse, which led to Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao becoming bandits. Zhou Cang has admired Guan Yu's name for a long time and has wanted to follow him for a long time. When they met today, they begged each other hard. Guan Yu saw his affection and allowed him to follow him.
Guan Yu learned from the farmer that his third brother Zhang Fei was in Gucheng County, ten miles ahead. Thinking that the long-separated brothers were about to meet, he couldn't help but feel happy. He sent Sun Qian to report to Yide first, and also informed the two of them of the good news. sister-in-law.
Zhang Fei, who had settled in the ancient city, was overjoyed to see Sun Qian's arrival. However, when he heard the news of Guan Yu's arrival, his face suddenly changed. He roared with gritted teeth and rushed out of the city on horseback with his spear in hand. Guan Yu was overjoyed to see Zhang Fei running towards him. He clapped his horses to greet him and shouted: "Third brother!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Thieves, look at the spear!" He thrust his spear towards Guan Yu. Later, after the two sisters-in-law prepared their secrets and saw Guan Yu personally beheading Cai Yang, he cleared up all previous suspicions and pounced on Guan Yu. The two brothers looked at each other, speechless and filled with tears.
Zhang Fei happily welcomed Guan Yu and his two sisters-in-law into the ancient city. They said goodbye to each other and prepared to go to Runan with Guan Yu and Sun Qian the next day to find his elder brother Liu Bei. Unexpectedly, Mi Zhu informed everyone: Liu Bei returned to Yuan Shao in Hebei because he saw that Liu Pi had few troops and could not accomplish anything. The three of them discussed that Zhang Fei would defend the city, while Zhou Cang would go to Pei Yuanshao to summon troops, and Guan Yu and Sun Qian would go to Hebei together. It was inconvenient for Guan Yu to meet Liu Bei first, settle down in Guandingzhuang, and receive his adopted son Guan Ping. Following Jian Yong's advice, Liu Bei pretended to "go to Jingzhou to persuade Liu Biao to defeat Cao together", and then he escaped from Yuan Shao, and the brothers finally met each other. On the way back, the group met Zhao Yun again, so they returned to the ancient city together.
In Pingchuan outside the ancient city, Zhang Fei lined up to greet him and beat the drum himself. Tears and sweat gathered together, beads and flowers splashed everywhere, and he was extremely excited. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Zhao Yun, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang and others were lined up on horseback. Mi Zhu and Mi Fang led a cavalry honor guard out of the city gate, holding high a military flag with the character "Liu" written in big letters. Liu, Guan, and Zhang ran together, with solemn faces, tears in their eyes, arms around each other, and kneeling opposite each other, just like the scene in the Taoyuan back then.
Sun Ce, who inherited Sun Jian's legacy and commanded Jiangdong, had well-equipped troops and sufficient supplies. After capturing Lujiang in one fell swoop, he forced Hua Xin, the prefect of Yuzhang, to surrender. Since then, his momentum has increased, so he sent Zhang Hong to Xuchang to report the victory. However, he was rejected by Cao Cao because he asked for the title of Grand Sima. He was still resentful and often attacked Xu. Everyone’s plan. Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County, knew what Sun Ce meant, so he wrote a secret letter to Cao Cao, asking him to beware of Sun Ce, not wanting the letter to fall into Sun Ce's hands.
Sun Ce designed to lure Xu Gong to be hanged. This move angered Xu Gong's three guests. While Sun Ce was hunting, they shot him with an arrow and seriously injured him. Fortunately, Cheng Pu and others arrived in time, and Sun Ce survived. Mrs. Wu, Sun Ce's mother, was very anxious when she saw that her son was seriously injured, so she prayed to immortals and Buddha and murmured her prayers. At this time, a man called Yu Ji appeared, and the people in the city all worshiped him. Sun Ce felt that his authority had been violated, and in a rage, he killed Yu Ji. He himself was also angered and poisoned his heart and lungs. He was in danger, so he urgently summoned his younger brother Sun Quan and other civil and military officials to come and make arrangements for his funeral. Sun Ce said to Mrs. Wu: "If you are not sure about domestic affairs, you can ask Zhang Zhao; if you are not sure about foreign affairs, you can ask Zhou Yu." Unfortunately, Zhou Yu was not around and could not give her advice in person. He asked Da Qiao to take good care of his mother, and asked Da Qiao to tell Xiao Qiao's sister to tell Zhou Lang that she must assist Sun Quan with all her heart, and he died after saying so.
After Sun Ce passed away, his younger brother Sun Quan took charge of affairs in Jiangdong. He learned from the strengths of others and recruited a group of far-sighted people such as Lu Su, Zhuge Jin, and Gu Yong. With the assistance of Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, he consolidated the foundation created by his father and brother and established From then on, the tripod divided the world into three parts and laid a solid foundation for proclaiming himself emperor in Soochow.
When Shao Zhen heard the news in Jiaozhi, he immediately assassinated Sun Hao, the temporary governor of Jiaozhi. He made more than 80,000 yuan and stabilized the situation in Gaoliang with Sun Hao's appearance.
