Three Kingdoms King of the North

Han Zhan turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yun beside him, and said to him: "Brother, I really didn't expect that Zimandu led the army into the village, and Guan Yunchang led the troops to fight so well. It seems that he is not only excellent in martial arts, He is quite good at leading troops to fight.”

Zhao Yun agrees with Han Zhan's statement: "Although Guan Yunchang is just a horse archer under Ping Yuanling, if he is allowed to command thousands of troops, he may be invincible." It is not a day for Zhao Yun and Han Zhan to deal with each other. Two days ago, seeing Han Zhan's refusal to order the attack on Liu Bei's camp some time ago, he guessed that he had a heart to recruit Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.Hearing Guan Yu mentioned again at this moment, he suggested: "Second brother, if we continue to fight, even if our army wins, the casualties will not be small. It is better to lead the troops to fight in order to stabilize the victory. Here is Chen With Shuzhi and Rob here, you shouldn't be in any danger."

Seeing that Zhao Yun was about to lead his troops into the camp, Han Zhan quickly stopped him.Han Zhan frowned and said thoughtfully: "Brother, even if you lead your troops into the stronghold, you may not be able to win immediately, but it will only increase the casualties of our army. It is better to use tricks to defeat Guan Yu."

"Brother Guan Yu?!" Zhao Yun had a stunned expression when he heard what Han Zhan said: "Second brother, I don't know how to use the trick?"

"It's simple," Han Zhan said with a sneer, "Brother sent a group of soldiers with loud voices to shout around the camp, saying that Liu Bei had already fled, which would surely destroy the soldiers in Youzhou."

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up when he heard what Han Zhan said.Not long after the gate of the village was breached, some detectives reported to Han Zhan and Zhao Yun that Liu Bei had left the camp and fled north with hundreds of cavalry.At that time, everyone thought that Tai Shici was ambushing in that direction, and thought that Liu Bei was doomed to escape, so they didn't take it to heart.Hearing what Han Zhan said at this moment, he felt that this matter could be used to break down the morale of the Youzhou soldiers, so he nodded and said, "Second brother is really a clever plan, so I ordered people to go around and shout."

Chapter 420 Liu Bei enters the capital

"Wait a minute, Jizhou Mu!" Guan Yu suddenly shouted.

Han Zhan turned his head to look at Guan Yu and asked, "Brother Yun, what do you think?"

Guan Yu said hesitantly: "Jizhou Mu, if Guan is willing to obey your orders, I wonder if you can let the eldest brother go, and send someone to follow me to rescue the third brother?"

Seeing Guan Yu revealed his intention to submit to him, Han Zhan felt ecstasy in his heart.But on the surface, he still pretended to be nonchalant: "Brother Yun, as long as you are willing to help the Han family together with Benhou, and Benhou leads the troops to Bohai County with you, it is not difficult to rescue Yide. It's just Liu Xuande Well?" At this point, he deliberately put on a dilemma.

Guan Yu was concerned and confused. He didn't see that Han Zhan was acting. Instead, he said anxiously: "Jizhou Mu, Guan Guan promises you that as long as you promise to let my elder brother go. From now on, Guan will obey your orders." From."

Han Zhan knew that Guan Yu was a man who kept his promises. Since he said that as long as he let Liu Bei go, he would obey his orders, I must be true.So he pretended to hesitate for a moment, then called the messenger of Tai Shici again, and said to him: "Go back and tell Ziyi, let him take Liu Xuande back to Linji, and wait for my lord to deal with him."

Guan Yu originally thought that Han Zhan would not agree to his request, after all Liu Bei had repeatedly opposed him.Who would have thought that he would so readily order his subordinates to escort Liu Bei to Linji.In this way, I will have the opportunity to meet Liu Bei.

When the prison car escorting Liu Bei returned to Linji, Han Zhan and others had already been waiting in the meeting hall for a long time.Seeing Liu Bei being escorted in by two soldiers, Guan Yu who was standing aside hastily greeted him, and asked with concern, "Brother, are you alright?"

Liu Bei never dreamed that Guan Yu was still standing in front of him alive, with a surprised expression on his face.After staring at Guan Yu for a long time, he asked tentatively, "Have you surrendered to the Han family?"

"Brother, let's listen to my younger brother's explanation." Guan Yu tried to tell Liu Bei all his difficulties.But Liu Bei interrupted him without hesitation, "I didn't expect that Yun Chang, you are such a person. I was really blind before."

In the face of Liu Bei's reproach, Guan Yu was dumb and couldn't tell what he was suffering from eating Coptis chinensis.Liu Bei took two steps forward, facing Han Zhan who was sitting in the middle, and said, "I am a clan member of the Han family. After King Jing of Zhongshan, how dare you be so rude to me?"

"Stop, stop!" Han Zhan didn't wait for Liu Bei to finish, and stopped him: "Liu Xuande, you keep saying that you are a relative of the Han family, who can prove it?"

Han Zhan's words caught Liu Bei's questioning. In the past, he just said that he was a Han family clan, and everyone who heard it was in awe. Who would ask him for any evidence?Han Zhan's unreasonable playing of cards made Liu Bei feel ashamed.

Han Zhan sneered twice, and said, "I have begged Your Majesty to get out the genealogy. In Zhongshan King Jing's booklet, your name Liu Bei and Liu Xuande was not found at all. If you are not convinced, I can send someone to Send you to the capital, and let His Majesty confront you face to face."

A few short words immediately made Liu Bei dumbfounded.Although he usually keeps saying that he is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Han Jing, etc., but he is fooling those who don't know the inside story. He never dreamed that Han Zhan asked Emperor Xian of Han to check the genealogy. Later, his identity as a clan member of the Han Dynasty became a new crime.

"Come here!" Han Zhan saw that Liu Bei was speechless, and he didn't want to give him a chance to defend himself, so he shouted, "Put this liar who pretends to be a Han family clan member into prison for me."

After the two tigers and leopards rode Liu Bei away, Guan Yu was still in shock.After a long time, he barely regained his senses, and asked in an unbelievable tone: "Jizhou Mu, is my elder brother really not a member of the Han family and the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan?"

Han Zhan shook his head, and replied truthfully, "I don't know. Anyway, I have never seen Liu Xuande's name on the genealogy that His Majesty invited."

"How is this possible, how is this possible?" Han Zhan's words exploded on top of Guan Yu's head like a bolt from the blue, causing Guan Yu to become dazed: "My elder brother is obviously a member of the Han family. In a blink of an eye, he became a liar?"

"Yun Chang." Han Zhan tried his best to recruit Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to his subordinates. He didn't want Guan Yu to be stimulated to go crazy at this time, so he said to him quickly: "Lu Yao knows the horsepower!" It takes a long time to see people's hearts. Who is Liu Xuande, as long as he is sent to the capital, the truth will naturally come to light."

"Jizhou Mu!" Hearing what Han Zhan said, Guan Yu seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said, "Please ask Guan to escort elder brother to the capital, and investigate this matter clearly."

When Han Zhan heard what Guan Yu said, he wished he could slap himself, and mentioned the capital again in a good manner.If Guan Yu really accompanied Liu Bei to the capital, wouldn't everything he had done be in vain?He coughed hard and said, "Brother Yun, actually, we can temporarily let go of the matter of identifying whether Liu Xuande is a Han family clan relative. The most urgent task is to rush to Bohai County as soon as possible to rescue Yide."

As soon as Zhang Fei's name was mentioned, Guan Yu suddenly became sober. He nodded twice and said, "That's right. The third brother is still in Yuan Shao's hands. When he was in Jieqiao, Yide almost took him. He has always held a grudge against this matter. If he hadn't rushed to the rescue as soon as possible, the third brother might be in danger of his life."

"Brother Yun, don't be impatient." Seeing that Guan Yu was like an ant on a hot pot, Han Zhan quickly comforted him and said, "We will send troops to Nanpi to rescue Yide tomorrow morning."

Rescuing soldiers is like putting out a fire. Guan Yu's heart ached when he thought of Zhang Fei being imprisoned, and he repeatedly urged, "Can't we send troops tonight?"

"No," Han Zhan replied quite simply to Guan Yu's request: "The soldiers and horses of the Marquis have already been exhausted after today's battle. They can't continue fighting without a night's rest."

After sending someone to take Guan Yu aside to resettle him, Zhao Yun pulled Han Zhan aside and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, I don't know what you plan to do with Liu Bei? There are more than ten thousand captured Youzhou soldiers in the city. If Liu Bei is kept , sooner or later it will be a disaster, why not" At this point, he stopped and wiped his neck with his hands.

Han Zhan shook his head and said to Zhao Yun: "Brother, you don't know the relationship between Liu, Guan and Zhang. If we kill Liu Bei, Guan Yu will definitely fight with us. Why don't we follow the original plan and send Liu Bei to the capital so that we Guo Junshi and the others locked him up in the prison of the State Shepherd's Mansion, and it won't be too late to deal with him when Ben Hou's squadron returns to the court."

"That's very good." Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Brother, from my point of view, let Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang be responsible for escorting Liu Bei to the capital."

Early the next morning, Han Zhan left Tai Shici to defend Linji, and with Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Guan Yu and [-] troops, he marched towards Bohai County to attack Yuan Shao and rescue Zhang Fei who was captured by Yan Liangchou.

An hour after the army left Linji, a group of soldiers and horses came out from the south, and there was a prison cart in the middle, which imprisoned the once mighty Liu Bei.The two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang led the team, and they were ordered to send Liu Bei to Yedu, the capital.

It was not a day on the road, and the two brothers Lu Kuang followed Liu Bei to Yedu.After entering the city, the two of them didn't stop there, but went straight to the State Shepherd's Mansion with the prison car.While they were able to keep a low profile, it was impossible for hundreds of people to pass through the street without attracting attention.

Soon, many ministers in the court who were dissatisfied with Han Zhan learned from their cronies that Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang had brought back a prison car from Qingzhou.It is not known who is locked in the prison van, but it must be the person who offended Han Zhan.Just when everyone was suspicious, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's team had already arrived at the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia, who were busy in the mansion, heard that Brother Lu Kuang had returned, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers who reported the news: "Hurry up!"

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang walked into the meeting hall side by side, and bowed to Xun Yu and Guo Jia with fists in their hands: "The final general will refer to Xun Changshi and Guo Junshi!"

Guo Jia waved his hands at the two, and asked straight to the point: "Why are you back? Did something happen to the lord?"

Lu Kuang hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "If you go back to the army division, our army defeated Liu Bei's [-] soldiers and horses in Linji and captured Liu Bei alive. My lord ordered me to escort Liu Bei back to the capital first, and then deal with it after the army is in charge." he."

"Wait a minute." Hearing this, Xun Yu couldn't help interrupting Lu Kuang's words, and asked with a frown, "As far as I know, Liu Bei is only the Pingyuan Commander. Where did he get [-] soldiers?"

Hearing Xun Yu's question to himself, Lu Kuang quickly replied, "Reporting to Chang Shi, Liu Bei's troops are all Gongsun Zan's Youzhou soldiers. Maybe he is not willing to turn against us at this moment, so he sent these soldiers and horses." Hand it over to Commander Liu Bei."

Guo Jia sneered and said: "Liu Bei, a Pingyuan Commander suddenly has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Does he know how to dispatch them? Not to mention meeting the lord, even if he meets a group of yellow scarf thieves, it may not be difficult to win. "

"Where is Liu Bei?" Xun Yu continued to ask.

"In the prison car outside the mansion." After Lu Kuang finished answering, he asked tentatively, "Does Chang Shi want to see him?"

"No need," Xun Yu replied, shaking his head like a rattle, "Put him in prison first, and let the lord return to Yedu, and then let him handle it."

After Lu Kuang left, Xun Yu asked Guo Jia curiously: "Feng Xiao, tell me, what is the purpose of my lord sending someone from so far away to escort Liu Bei back?"

Guo Jia thought for a long time before saying in an uncertain tone: "Jia has heard my lord mention many times that Liu Bei's two cousins ​​are excellent in martial arts, and they are chivalrous, courageous, affectionate and righteous. It is estimated that he wants to recruit them. As a result, Liu Bei was captured, and he did not dare to kill him lightly, so he could only be sent back to Yedu to be imprisoned."

Xun Yu is also a smart person. Hearing what Guo Jia said, he immediately understood what was going on.He quickly called a guard to come in, and told him: "You immediately arrange a few people to watch at the opposite side of Liu Bei's cell. If there is any accident with him, all of you will come to see him."

It was the first time for the guards to hear Xun Yu speak to his subordinates in such a tone. He hurriedly agreed, turned and left the meeting room, and went outside to gather the guards of Liu Bei.

Guo Jia was very satisfied with Xun Yu's arrangement.Although they couldn't figure out the real purpose of Han Zhan sending Liu Bei back, but before Han Zhan came back, they must not let Liu Bei make any mistakes, otherwise they would miss Han Zhan's important event.

After Liu Bei was imprisoned, two of the jailers in charge of guarding were bribed by the ministers of the DPRK and China.Not long after, the news that the prisoner was Liu Bei, the magistrate of Pingyuan County, spread throughout the city of Yedu.

A group of courtiers were standing in the mansion of a certain minister, and they were emotionally denouncing Han Zhan: "Pingyuan Ling is an official of the imperial court, so he can catch him as soon as he says. If he is so domineering, in time, he will be another Dong Zhuo."

Another elderly courtier said: "Since the Marquis of Anyang left Yedu, I heard that Cao Mengde, the prefect of Dongjun, seems to be at odds with him. Why don't we send someone to contact Cao Mengde to see if he is willing to cooperate with us to eradicate Han Zhan together?" The traitor."

"I said my lord," a young courtier sitting not far away, after hearing what the old man said, said with some displeasure: "You all say that the Marquis of Anyang is domineering and bullying the Holy One to bring disaster to the world, but I It seems that Marquis Anyang has always been very respectful to Sheng Jia, and he keeps a low profile when things happen on weekdays. I really don't understand, why do you think he will become someone like Dong Zhuo sooner or later?"

"Huangkou kid, what do you know?" After hearing what the young courtier said, the old courtier immediately opened his eyes and said, "Quickly retreat with the old man."
