Chapter 28 of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in vernacular

But it was said that Guan Yu and Sun Qian were protecting their two sisters-in-law and marched towards Runan. Unexpectedly, Xiahou Dun led 300 cavalry and chased them from behind. Sun Qian went ahead to protect the vehicle. Guan Yu turned around, reined in his horse and pressed his sword, saying: "You come to chase after me, which is unkind to the Prime Minister." Xiahou Dun said: "The Prime Minister did not send a clear message to let you pass. You killed people along the way, and you just killed my troops. General, you are so rude! I came here to capture you for the Prime Minister's punishment!" After saying that, he started to fight.

I saw a horse flying from behind, shouting: "General Xiahou cannot fight Guan Yu!" Guan Yu did not move the bridle. The envoy took out the official document from his arms and said to Xiahou Dun: "The Prime Minister respects General Guan's loyalty and is afraid that he will intercept him at the pass along the way, so he specially sent the official document and traveled everywhere." Xiahou Dun asked: "Guan Yu killed many officers and soldiers guarding the pass on the road. Does the Prime Minister know?" The messenger replied, "The Prime Minister doesn't know about this." Xiahou Dun said, "I will capture him alive to see the Prime Minister, and then I will release him when he comes." Guan Yu shouted angrily, "Am I afraid?" You can't do it!" He slapped his horse and wielded his sword to attack Xiahou Dun.

Xiahou Dun came to meet him with his gun drawn. The two horses crossed each other. After less than ten rounds of fighting, another horse suddenly flew up and shouted: "Two generals, take a rest!" Xiahou Dun stopped his gun and asked the envoy: "Did the Prime Minister order me to capture Guan Yu?" The envoy said, "No. The Prime Minister was afraid that the generals guarding the pass would block General Guan, so he sent someone to deliver an official document to let him go." Xiahou Dun asked again, "The Prime Minister knew that he was killing my guards along the way. "General?" The envoy said, "I don't know." Xiahou Dun said, "Since the prime minister doesn't know that he killed someone, he must not let him go." He ordered his soldiers to surround Guan Yu. Guan Yu was furious and fought with his sword.

Just as the two were about to fight again, another person came from behind on flying horse and shouted: "Yun Chang, Yuan Rang, please don't fight!" When everyone saw it, it turned out to be Zhang Liao. The two of them reined in their horses. Zhang Liao came forward and said, "I am following the decree of Prime Minister Jun: because I heard that Yunchang was beheading the pass and killing the generals, and I was afraid that there would be generals blocking the way, I was specially sent to pass the instructions to all the passes to let them pass." Xiahou Dun said, "Qin Qi is Cai Yang. My nephew. He entrusted Qin Qi to me, and now he is killed by Guan Yu. How can I explain it to General Cai?" Zhang Liao said, "Since it is the magnanimity of the Prime Minister, I let Yunchang go. You cannot go against the prime minister's good intentions." Zhang Liao asked, "Where is Brother Yun going now?" Guan Yu said, "I heard that my brother is not with Yuan Shao, and he is currently searching for him all over the world." "Since we still don't know the whereabouts of Liu Bei, how about we go back to see Prime Minister Cao for the time being?" Guan Yu smiled and said, "How can this make sense! Wen Yuan went back to see the Prime Minister, please apologize for me." After saying goodbye to Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao said goodbye. He and Xiahou Dun led the army back.

Guan Yu caught up with the carriage and talked about the matter with Sun Qian, and the two rode together. After walking for a few days, it suddenly started to rain heavily, and all the luggage was soaked. Looking in the distance, there is a manor house on the hill in front. Guan Yu led the carriage to stay there. An old man came out to greet him in the village, and Guan Yu explained his intention. The old man said: "My surname is Guo Mingchang, and I have lived here for generations. I have heard about General Guan for a long time, and I am honored to be able to pay my respects." Guo Chang ordered people to slaughter sheep and prepare wine for each other, and invited the two ladies to rest in the back hall for a while. Guo often accompanied Guan Yu and Sun Qian to drink in the thatched cottage, while the people baked luggage and fed the horses.

At dusk, I suddenly saw a young man leading several people into the village and went straight to the thatched cottage. Guo Chang called: "My son, come and see General Guan." He said to Guan Yu: "This is a foolish man." Guan Yu asked him where he came back from, Guo Chang said: "I just came back from hunting." The young man saw Guan Yu and immediately Went to class.

Guo Chang said with tears: "I have been working hard to study and inherit the family, but I only gave birth to such a son. But he does not do his job and only enjoys hunting. What a misfortune for our family!" Guan Yu said: "If in today's troubled times, if If he is skilled in martial arts, he can also seek fame. How can it be said that it is unfortunate? "Guo Chang said: "If he is willing to learn martial arts, he is a man of ambition. He specializes in wandering and does everything. I worry about this every day! "Guan Yu just sighed.

Late at night, Guo Chang said goodbye and went out. Guan Yu and Sun Qian were about to go to bed when they suddenly heard the neighing of horses and people in the backyard. Guan Yu hurriedly summoned his followers, but none of them responded, so he and Sun Qian went to check with their swords. He saw Guo Chang's son lying on the ground and screaming in pain. The servants were fighting with the villagers. Guan Yu asked why. People said: "This man came to steal the red rabbit horse, but was kicked down by the horse. After hearing the horse's neigh, we got up to look around, and the dealers turned around and started making trouble."

Guan Yu said angrily: "How dare the rat thief steal my war horse!" Just when he was about to have an attack, Guo Chang ran to him and begged: "You unworthy man who did this evil deed deserves death!" But my wife loves this son the most and begs the general for mercy and forgiveness! "

Guan Yu said: "This boy is indeed unworthy. What the old man said just now is true. There is no better son than a father. For the sake of this old man, I will forgive you for the time being. He ordered his servants to look after the horses, dismissed the villagers, and went back to the thatched cottage with Sun Qian to rest.

The next day, Guo Chang and his wife came out and knelt down in front of the hall, saying: "The dog is blaspheming the tiger's power, deeply Thank you General for your kindness. Guan Yu called out to the boy and said, "Let me teach him the right principles." Guo Chang said: "At the fourth watch of the night, he led many ruffians and ran away to who knows where." "After Guan Yu said goodbye to Guo Chang, he protected his two sisters-in-law to get into the car. After leaving the village courtyard, he and Sun Qian rode together along the mountain road.

In less than thirty miles, I saw people rushing out from behind the mountain. There were more than a hundred people, led by two people on horseback: the man in front was wrapped in a yellow scarf and wore a war robe, and the man in the back was the son of Guo Chang. The Yellow Turban Army shouted: "I am a subordinate of General Zhang Jiao!" Come quickly, leave the red rabbit and horse behind and let you pass! Guan Yu laughed and said, "You bunch of ignorant thieves!" Since you follow Zhang Jiao, do you also know the names of the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang? "The Yellow Turban Army said: "I have only heard of the man with red face and long beard named Guan Yunchang, but I have never met him. Who are you? "Guan Yu then stopped his sword and stood up, untied his beard bag, and exposed his long beard for him to see.

The man quickly rolled off the saddle and dismounted, grabbed Guo Chang's son and bowed down in front of Guan Yu's horse. Guan Yu asked him his name. People said: "My surname is Pei and my given name is Yuan Shao. Since Zhang Jiao's death, he had no idea of ??a master, so he gathered in the mountains and forests and hid in Quan here. This guy came to report this morning: There was a guest riding a thousand-mile horse and staying at his house. I was specially invited to rob this horse, but unexpectedly I met General Guan. Guo Chang's son also knelt down and begged for his life. Guan Yu said, "For your father's sake, I will spare your life!" "Guo Chang's son ran away with the rat in his head.

Guan Yu said to Pei Yuanshao: "You haven't met me, how do you know my name? Pei Yuanshao said: "Twenty miles away from here there is a mountain called Woniu Mountain. There is a Guanxi man on the mountain, surnamed Zhou Mingcang. He has the strength of a thousand catties in one swing of his arms. He is tall and has flat ribs and curly beard." He was originally a general under the Yellow Turban Zhang Bao. After Zhang Bao died, he gathered in the mountains and forests. He once told me about the general's reputation many years ago, but I just regretted not having the chance to meet him. Guan Yu said: "After all, the green forest is not a place for heroes. You must correct your evil ways and return to the right path in the future. Don't trap yourself in this situation again." After hearing this, Pei Yuanshao hurriedly thanked him.

As he was talking, he saw a group of people coming from a distance. Pei Yuanshao said, "This man must be Zhou Cang." Guan Yu then waited immediately, and saw the man with a dark face and long body, riding a horse and holding a gun. Everyone arrived. After seeing Guan Yu, he was surprised and said: "This is General Guan!" He hurriedly dismounted, knelt down by the roadside and said, "Zhou Cang pays homage to General Guan with a great ceremony." Guan Yu asked strangely: "Where did the strong man know Guan?" "Zhou Cang said: "When I followed Zhang Bao of the Yellow Turban Army, I was able to see Zunyan. I just wish I could lose my virginity and join the party, and not be allowed to follow the general. I am fortunate enough to meet the general today. I hope the general will not dislike me and accept me as a foot soldier. I will carry the whip and stirrup for the general sooner or later. I am willing to die! Seeing that he was sincere, Guan Yu said to him, "If you follow me, what will happen to your companions?" Zhou Cang said: "Those who are willing to follow, follow, and those who are unwilling to follow, let them stay." "Everyone said in unison: "We are willing to follow General Guan. "Guan Yu then dismounted and went to the car to report back to his two sisters-in-law.

Mrs. Gan said: "Since my uncle left Xuchang, he has traveled here alone. He has experienced many hardships and hardships, and he has no army or horses accompanying him. The former Liao Hua wanted to defect, but his uncle had already declined. Why should he accept Zhou Cang and others now? I am a female and have limited knowledge. Please make your own decision, uncle. Guan Yu said: "Sister-in-law is very reasonable." So he said to Zhou Cang: "It's not that I'm unkind, but my two sisters-in-law don't allow it." You guys go back to the mountains for now, and when I find my brother, I will definitely come to fight with you. Zhou Cang paused and said, "Zhou Cang is a reckless man who turned into a thief." Now that I'm lucky enough to see the general again, how could I miss this opportunity? If it is inconvenient for them to follow each other, they can be asked to follow Pei Yuanshao back. Zhoucang, I am willing to follow the general on foot alone, even though he is thousands of miles away! "Guan Yu reported this to his two sisters-in-law again. Mrs. Gan said: "It doesn't matter if one or two of them accompany each other. Guan Yu then asked Zhou Cang's men to follow Pei Yuanshao.

Pei Yuanshao said, "I am also willing to follow General Guan."

"Zhou Cang said: "If you also leave, then all these people will be dispersed, and you will be regarded as temporarily commanding them. After I followed General Guan, as long as I have a place to stay, I will call you immediately. "Pei Yuanshao said goodbye disappointed.

Zhou Cang followed Guan Yu to Runan. After walking for a few more days, he saw a mountain city in the distance. Guan Yu asked the locals: "Where is this place? "The locals said: "This small town is called the ancient city. A few months ago, a general named Zhang Mingfei came here with dozens of cavalry. After driving away the county magistrate, he occupied the ancient city, recruited troops, bought horses, and stored grass and grain. Now I heard that there were three to five thousand troops gathered, and no one around dared to mess with this general. Guan Yu said with great joy: "My third brother has been missing since he was separated from Xuzhou. Who would have thought that he would be here!" "So he ordered Sun Qian to go into the city first to report the situation, and asked Zhang Fei to go out of the city to greet his two sisters-in-law. But it was said that after Zhang Fei lived in Mangdang Mountain for a month, he accidentally passed by the ancient city when he went out to inquire about Liu Bei. He entered the county town to borrow food, but the county magistrate refused to give it to him. Zhang Fei was furious, chased away the magistrate and seized the county seal, and occupied the small town temporarily.

Sun Qian entered after receiving Guan Yu's order. He went to see Fei in the city, and after paying homage to him, Sun Qian said, "My lord Liu Bei has left Yuan Shao and gone to Runan. Now Guan Yu has escorted his two sisters-in-law here from Xuchang and asked General Zhang to come out of the city to greet them. "Zhang Fei didn't say anything after hearing this, and immediately mounted his horse, armed with spears, and led more than a thousand people to rush out of the north gate.

Sun Qian was very surprised when he saw this, and did not dare to ask more questions, so he had to follow The team left the city. When Guan Yu saw Zhang Fei coming from a distance, he was overjoyed. He handed the knife to Zhou Cang and took it. He then came to greet him, only to see Zhang Fei with his eyes wide open, his beard erect, roaring like thunder, and swinging his spear. Guan Yu scratched. Guan Yu was shocked and quickly walked away and asked, "Why is this done, my dear brother?" Have you forgotten the bond of friendship in Taoyuan? Zhang Fei shouted: "Since you are unrighteous, why do you have the right face to meet me?" Guan Yu asked: "Where am I unrighteous?" Zhang Fei said: "You betrayed your brother and surrendered to Cao Cao, and you were granted the title of Marquis." Now you want to make money from me again! I will fight you to the death today! Guan Yu said: "You don't know the situation!" I can't say a word or two clearly. The two sisters-in-law are here now, dear brother, just go and ask them yourself. "

When the two ladies heard something was wrong, they quickly raised the curtain and asked loudly: "Why is Third Uncle like this? Zhang Fei said, "Sister-in-law, please rest first. I will kill this unjust man and then invite my sister-in-law into the city." Mrs. Gan said: "Second uncle is temporarily staying with Cao Cao because he doesn't know your whereabouts." Now that I know your brother is in Runan, he sent us here without avoiding all the dangers. Third uncle, don’t blame Yunchang wrongly. Mrs. Mi also said: "The second uncle is in Xuchang out of helplessness." Zhang Fei said: "Sister-in-law, you must have been deceived by him! A loyal minister would rather die than be humiliated. How can a real man serve the second master? That's right!" Guan Yu said, "Brother, please don't mistreat me." Sun Qian said, "Yun Chang came here specifically to find the general." Zhang Fei shouted, "How can you help him?" He has a good heart. Cao Cao must have sent him to capture me!" Guan Yu said, "If I come to capture you, I should bring some troops and horses." Zhang Fei pointed behind him and said, "There is no large army of troops and horses coming behind you." "Really?" Guan Yu looked back, and sure enough he saw a group of men and horses coming quickly from where the dust was rising. The wind was blowing the flag, and it was undoubtedly Cao Jun.

Zhang Fei said angrily: "Do you still dare to deny it now?" The eight-foot-long snake spear came over. Guan Yu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother, please wait a moment. Wait until I kill the general to show my sincerity." Zhang Fei said, "You are indeed sincere. I will beat the three-way drum here for you. You must kill him." Come, general!" Guan Yu promised immediately.

After a while, Cao Jun arrived. The first general was Cai Yang. He raised his sword and rode his horse and shouted: "You killed my nephew Qin Qi, but you escaped here! I was ordered by the Prime Minister. , came here specially to get you!" Guan Yu didn't say anything, he just raised his sword and cut, while Zhang Fei beat the drum himself. Just before the drum stopped, Cai Yang's head fell to the ground where Guan Yu's sword was rising. All the soldiers fled.

Guan Yu captured the flag-raising soldiers alive and asked them where they came from. The soldier reported: "Cai Yang was very angry when he heard that the general had killed his nephew and wanted to go to Hebei to fight the general. The prime minister refused and sent him to Runan to conquer Liu Pi. He did not expect to meet General Guan here." Guan Yu. After listening, let the pawn go to Zhang Fei to report. Zhang Fei asked the pawn in detail what happened when Guan Yu was in Xuchang. The pawn told him from beginning to end, and Zhang Fei believed it.

While he was talking, a sergeant from the city suddenly came to report: "There are more than ten cavalry coming quickly outside the south gate of the city. I don't know what the situation is." Zhang Fei was doubtful, so he turned to the south gate to watch, and sure enough he saw More than a dozen cavalrymen came with bows and arrows on their backs. When these people saw Zhang Fei, they immediately rolled off their saddles and dismounted. Zhang Fei saw that it was none other than brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang. The two brothers quickly dismounted and met each other.

Mi Zhu said: "Since Xuzhou was separated, my two brothers fled back to their hometown. From time to time, they sent people far and near to inquire. I heard that Zhi Yunchang had surrendered to Cao Cao and that the lord was in Hebei again. I also heard that Jian Yongye was also I went to Hebei. I really didn’t know that the general would be here. Yesterday, I met a group of guests on the road. They said that a general named Zhang is now occupying the ancient city. My brother guessed that it must be General Zhang. I hurriedly came to look for him. Good luck meeting him! " Zhang Fei said: "Second brothers Yunchang and Sun Qian escorted the two sisters-in-law and just arrived here. We already know the whereabouts of the eldest brother." The two were overjoyed and came to see Guan Yu together and met the two sisters-in-law.

Zhang Fei welcomed his two sisters-in-law into the city. After sitting down in the county government office, the two sisters-in-law told what happened to Guan Yu. Only then did Zhang Fei burst into tears and hurriedly paid homage to Guan Yu. Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were also very sad. Zhang Fei also talked about his farewell and arranged a banquet to celebrate.

The next day, Zhang Fei wanted to go to Runan with Guan Yu to meet Liu Bei. Guan Yu said: "Brother, please protect your two sisters-in-law and stay in this city temporarily. Sun Qian and I will go to find out more about my brother first." Zhang Fei listened as soon as he heard the truth.

Guan Yu and Sun Qian led several cavalrymen and headed straight for Runan. Liu Pi and Gong both left the city and followed. Guan Yu asked: "Where is the emperor's uncle?" Liu Pi said: "The emperor's uncle is here. After staying for a few days, he saw that there were too few troops and horses, so he went to Hebei to discuss matters with Yuan Shao. "Guan Yu was unhappy. Sun Qian said: "Don't worry too much. At worst, we can go to Hebei to report to the emperor, and then we can go to the ancient city together." After bidding farewell to Liu Pi and Gong Du, Guan Yu returned to the ancient city and met with Zhang Fei. Speaking of this. Zhang Fei also wanted to rush to Hebei together. Guan Yu said: "There is such a city, which is where we live. Don't give up easily. I will go with Sun Qian to Yuan Shao to find my brother, and then we will meet here. My worthy brother can hold on to this city here." Zhang Fei He said: "Brother, how can you get there by killing Yan Liang and Wen Chou?" Guan Yu said: "It doesn't matter. I will adapt to the situation when I get there." Guan Yu asked Zhou Cang: "How many troops are there at Pei Yuanshao's place in Woniu Mountain?" Zhou Cang said: "There are about four to five hundred people." Guan Yu said: "I am taking a shortcut to find my brother. You can go to Wuniu Mountain to recruit this group of people and greet him from the road." Zhou Cang took the order and left.

Guan Yu and Sun Qian led more than 20 cavalry to the north of Hebei Province. When they were about to reach the border, Sun Qian said: "General Guan, don't enter easily. You are only here to rest temporarily. I will go see you first." We'll discuss it later with the emperor's uncle." Guan Yu sent Sun Qian away first and saw a village in the distance, so he and his followers went to stay in the village. An old man in the village came out with a cane and saluted Guan Yu. Guan Yu told the truth. The old man said: "My surname is Guan Yu and my name is Ding. I have heard the general's name for a long time, and I am fortunate to pay him a visit." So he ordered his two sons to come out to meet Guan Yu, entertained Guan Yu warmly, and left them all to rest in the village.

Let us say that Sun Qian rushed to Jizhou and told Liu Bei about the previous situation. Liu Bei said, "Jian Yong is also here. Please come and discuss it with us." After a while, Jian Yong arrived and after meeting Sun Qian, he and Sun Qian discussed a plan to escape. Jian Yong said: "My lord will see Yuan Shao tomorrow. He just said that he is going to Jingzhou to persuade Liu Biao to defeat Cao Cao, and then he can take advantage of the opportunity and leave." Liu Bei said: "This is a great plan! But how can you go with me?" Jian Yong said: "I have my own plan to escape." The discussion has been decided.

The next day, Liu Bei went to see Yuan Shao and said: "Liu Jingsheng guards the nine counties of Jingxiang and has sufficient troops and food. We should form an alliance with him to attack Cao Cao." Yuan Shao said: "I once sent an envoy to make an appointment. , but Liu Biao refused to comply. "Liu Bei said, "Liu Biao is my sect, and I am willing to go and persuade him. He has fought with Cao Cao many times, and he will definitely come to form an alliance." Yuan Shao said, "If Liu Biao helps, he will be far stronger." Pass Liu Pi." So he ordered Liu Bei to move forward. Yuan Shao added: "I just heard that Guan Yu has left Cao Cao and wants to come to Hebei. If he comes, I will definitely kill him to avenge Yan Liang and Wen Chou!" Liu Bei said: "Ming Gong said before that he wanted to use him. I just summoned him to Hebei. Why do I want to kill him now? Besides, compared with Guan Yu, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are just two deer, and Guan Yu is a tiger, so what's the point of resentment? Unjust?" Yuan Shao laughed and said, "I actually like Guan Yu very much, just kidding.

Send someone quickly to summon him. Liu Bei said: "I immediately sent Sun Qian to summon him." " Yuan Shao was overjoyed.

After Liu Bei left, Jian Yong came in and said, "If Liu Bei goes away, he will never come back again. I am willing to go with him. Firstly, I can persuade Liu Biao together, and secondly, I can monitor Liu Bei. Yuan Shao agreed without thinking about it and ordered Jian Yong to accompany Liu Bei. After seeing it, Guo Tu advised Yuan Shao and said: "Liu Bei went to persuade Liu Pi to surrender, but he didn't see any results." Now he is sent to Jingzhou with Jian Yong, and he will definitely never come back. Yuan Shao said: "Don't be suspicious. I have sent Jian Yong to monitor Liu Bei at all times." "Guo Tu sighed.

But he said that Liu Bei ordered Sun Qian to report to Guan Yu first, and said goodbye to Yuan Shao with Jian Yong before getting on his horse and leaving the city. Sun Qian followed him early when they arrived at the frontier, and together they arrived at Guanding. Guan Yu came to the village and knelt down. He clasped his hands and cried loudly. Guan Ding led his two sons to bow down in front of the thatched cottage. Guan Yu asked them their names: "This old man has the same surname as me, and he has two sons: Guan, the eldest son." Ning studied literature, and his second son Guan Ping studied martial arts. Guan Ding said: "Now I want my second son to follow General Guan. I wonder if the general can accommodate him?" Liu Bei asked: "How old is he?" Guan Ding said: "Eighteen years old." Liu Bei said: "Since the elders have good intentions, my second brother does not have a son yet, so now I will adopt the virtuous man as my adopted son. What do you think?" Guan Ding was overjoyed and ordered Guan Ping to worship Guan Yu as his adoptive father and call Liu Bei his uncle. Liu Bei was afraid that Yuan Shao would come back and send people to chase him, so he hurriedly packed up and set off. Guan Ping got up with Guan Yu, and Guan Ding gave him a ride. Don't mention it when you go home.

Guan Yu asked everyone to go towards Woniu Mountain. As he was walking, he suddenly saw Zhou Cang running towards him with dozens of people injured. After Guan Yu introduced him to see Liu Bei, he asked them why they were injured. Zhou Cang said: "Before I arrived at Woniu Mountain, a single rider arrived and fought with Pei Yuanshao. He stabbed him to death in one blow and surrendered all the troops and occupied the stronghold. When I went there to recruit companions, only a few people came over, and the rest were too afraid to leave. I went to fight with that general, but he defeated him several times in a row and was shot three times, so I came to report to the lord. Liu Bei asked: "What is this life like?" Whose last name is it? Zhou Cang said: "He looks extremely handsome. He didn't ask his name." "So Guan Yu took the lead, Liu Bei behind, and headed straight for Woniu Mountain.

Zhou Cang was yelling and cursing at the bottom of the mountain. He saw the general dressed in full armor, holding a spear, and leading the people down the mountain. Liu Bei took a closer look, whipped his horse and shouted: "Isn't the general Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong? When the general saw Liu Bei, he hurriedly dismounted and bowed down by the roadside. It turned out to be Zhao Zilong. Liu Bei and Guan Yu also dismounted to meet him and asked him why he was here. Zhao Yun said: "Since I left Commander Liu, , I didn’t want Gongsun Zan to disobey others’ advice and end up being defeated and self-immolated, so Yuan Shao repeatedly surrendered to me. I don't think Yuan Shao is a man who can employ people, so he didn't go. Later, I thought of Xuzhou and went to surrender to the envoy. I also heard that Xuzhou had fallen and Yunchang had surrendered to Cao Cao. The envoy went to Yuan Shao again. I also wanted to join him several times, but I was afraid that Yuan Shao would be offended. Just like this, I have been wandering all over the world, with no place to stay. I passed by here by chance a few days ago and encountered Pei Yuanshao coming down the mountain to snatch my war horse. I killed him in the battle and then used this mountain to stay. Now I heard that Yide is in the ancient city and wants to go there, but I haven't figured out the situation yet. Now I'm so lucky to meet you!

Liu Bei was overjoyed and told about the past, and Guan Yu also told about the past. Liu Bei said: "I felt nostalgic for Zilong when I first saw him. Fortunately, we met now!" Zhao Yun said: "I have traveled far and wide, choosing masters to serve. I have experienced several masters, but there is no one who can compare with the envoy." Now that I can be with you, it brings great comfort to my life. Even though he was completely messed up, he would not give up even if he died. "He immediately burned down the stronghold and led everyone to follow Liu Bei to the ancient city.

Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu, and Mi Fang welcomed them into the city and bowed to each other. The two ladies told about Guan Yu, and Liu Bei was filled with emotion. So he killed the cow. After slaughtering the horse, he first thanked Heaven and Earth, and then expressed his condolences to the sergeant. Liu Bei was very happy to see his brothers reunited and gained Zhao Yun, and Guan Yu gained Guan Ping and Zhou Cang. They drank heavily for several days. >

Later generations wrote poems praising:

At this time, Liu, Guan, Zhang, Zhao Yun, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang led the horse infantry academy*** A total of four to five thousand people. Liu Bei wanted to abandon the ancient city and occupy Runan, but Liu Pi and Gong Du sent troops to garrison in Runan, recruiting troops and horses, and Xu Tu marched in.

Let’s say that Yuan Shao was furious when he didn’t see Liu Bei coming back and wanted to launch an army to attack him. Guo Tu said, “Liu Bei is not worthy of consideration.

Cao Cao is our powerful enemy and must be eliminated. Although Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou, he was not strong enough. Sun Bofuwei in the east of the Yangtze River was in Sanjiang, which connected six counties. He had many advisers and warriors, so he could send people to form an alliance to attack Cao Cao together. "

Yuan Shao adopted Guo Tu's strategy and immediately wrote a letter and sent Chen Zhen as an envoy to Jiangdong.
