Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

"Forget it. In this chilly spring, I just think it's a bit cold under the covers..."

"My lord, I can warm you up." Just as Cao Cao finished speaking, Xu Chu asked Ying to say.

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing. He took off his cloak and said, "The night in the first month is as cold as water. You need to go again and give this cloak to Yun Chang to keep out the cold."

"Yun Chang was sparring with the pawn just now to keep warm. With the cloak rewarded by the lord, I believe he will not be cold tonight." Zhang Liao echoed.

Cao Cao sat cross-legged on the bed, and said with a smile, "Yun Chang is so skilled in martial arts, how can there be a pawn who can fight him? Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death with three punches and two kicks?"

"I think Guan Yu has the heart to give way, and the pawn will not be in danger." Xu Chu replied.

Zhang Liao said in his heart that if you talk like this, how can the lord continue the topic?Aren't you spoiling the lord's happiness?He then cupped his fists and said, "My lord, General Xu will stay behind to protect your safety, and I will send this cloak there alone."

"Go." Cao Cao turned over and lay down on the couch after saying that.

After Guan Yu and Lan Tian had punched and kicked a few times, the warmth on their bodies quickly rose.

In the middle of the night, Lan Tian suggested that the two of them take turns to rest. He found some wood to light a fire to keep warm. The two sat around the fire and chatted. Lan Tian's face was also burned red.

After everyone arrived in Xudu, Cao Cao no longer coveted Gan Qian's beauty. He worshiped Guan Yu as a partial general, and not only gave Lu Bu the red rabbit horse, but also gave him clothes and things, and treated him very generously.

When Lantian saw Chituma, he immediately thought of Lu Lingqi. He didn't know how she was doing in Xinye, and whether she had stabilized her footing now, but with Gao Shun's protection, her life should be safe.

In February of the fifth year of Jian'an, after Yuan Shao received Liu Beiyi's edict, he instantly felt righteousness in his hands. He ordered Chen Lin to write a call to action, calling on the heroes of the world to punish Cao's bandits together, and mobilized troops to prepare to go south.

In March, Yuan Shao led Liu Bei to march into Liyang, and sent general Yan Liang to besiege the white horse. Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun, asked Xu Du for help.

The battle between Yuan Cao and Yuan Cao was imminent, and Guan Yu had no friends in Xudu. Before he went to the battle, he went to Lan Tian to discuss: "The prime minister is going to relieve the siege of the white horse. How should I deal with it?"

Lan Tian said: "General Guan should invite Ying, and he must fight the enemy bravely. Only by beheading the general and making meritorious service can he have the means to escape."

"If Cao Cao can't send me into battle, what can I do?" Guan Yu asked again.

Lan Tian laughed and said: "Yuan Shaohu is in Hebei, and he has many brave generals who are accustomed to fighting. This time, you must have a chance to make a move. From Xudu, I wish the general's fame in the world."

"Chengzi Yu Jiyan, I don't know what happened to the elder brother and the third younger brother. When can we get out of Xudu." Guan Yu said.

"General Guan, don't worry, my brother-in-law is auspicious, so he will be fine." Lan Tian comforted.

"I hope so."

Cao Cao took the advice of counselor Xun You and led his army to cross the river in Yanjin to induce Yuan Shao to divide his troops in Yanjin.Then the light soldiers rushed forward, rushing to attack the white horse to catch him off guard.

Yuan Shao really planned to divide his troops, but Cao Cao was blocked by Yan Liang in Baima.

Yan Liang was a general under Yuan Shao's command. He was the most brave general in Hebei.

Zhang Liao was also defeated in the battle with him. Seeing this, Guan Yu leaped his horse and charged into the enemy's formation.

The main general was beheaded, and Yan Liang's troops collapsed in an instant. Cao Cao ordered the army to cover up and kill, and the siege of the white horse was finally broken.

Chapter 49 Zhang Liao cheated, Guan Yu escaped

After Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang, Cao Cao loved him even more, but he no longer sent him to battle, fearing that Guan Yu would abandon him after his meritorious service.

Cao Cao once sent Zhang Liao to test him out. Guan Yu said, "I know Mr. Cao treats me very kindly; however, my eldest brother and I swear to die together, and we must not betray him. I should behead the general and perform meritorious service to repay Mr. Cao, and he will leave when he hears about my brother. "

Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao twice in Baima and Yanjin, but it didn't hurt Yuan Shao's roots.

Yuan Shao's army marched in company battalions, stretching from east to west for dozens of miles, using sand piles as camps, and finally assembled at Yangwu. Cao Cao retreated to Guandu to confront the northern army.

Yuan Shao's first battle was unfavorable and he was in a dull mood. At this moment, news came from Runan that Liu Pi, the former Yellow Turban tribe, had thousands of troops.

At this time, Liu Bei was very well received in Yuan Shao's tent, but he was jealous of Guo Tu, Shen Pei and others, and they recommended Liu Bei to Runan to Yuan Shao.

So Liu Bei took the newly recruited general Zhao Yun and a group of entourages to secretly go to Runan to help Liu Pi.

Yuan Cao held a stalemate at Guandu for two months. Cao Cao ordered Cao Hong, Xun You, and Cheng Yu to stay in the camp, and brought the rest of the team back to Xudu. One was to reward the white horse and Yanjin's meritorious officials, and the other was to return to raise food and grass for the war.

Cao Cao held a grand banquet in Xudu, and played the role of the emperor who named Guan Yu the Marquis of Hanshouting, and rewarded him with a new mansion and a lot of property.

In July, Liu Bei and Liu Pi attacked Pingyu County in Runan, and Cao Cao hurriedly dispatched Cao Ren to lead an army to attack it.

Although Guan Yu received the reward, he was worried about Liu Bei, and after returning to Xudu, he often chatted with Lantian to reminisce about the old days.

Lan Tian asked Guan Yu to pay close attention to Cao Cao's movement of troops, saying that this matter had a great relationship with Liu Bei's whereabouts. Guan Yu kept this in mind until Cao Ren sent troops.

Guan Yu hurriedly found Lantian and asked, "Ziyu, Cao Ren sent troops to Runan to flatten the Yellow Turban recently. Is it related to where elder brother is?"

Lan Tian said happily: "Brother-in-law is very likely to be in Runan. If it is really a mere remnant of the Yellow Turban Party, Cao Cao would not send such a general there."

"Big brother is in Runan, Ziyu guessed, I'm afraid it's not fair to leave so hastily..." Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard and said worriedly.

"General Guan, why don't you startle the snake?" Lan Tian suggested.

"What's the solution to this plan?" Guan Yu asked puzzled.

Lan Tian whispered a few words in his ear, Guan Yu was elated, and then walked out the door laughing.

"Uncle, he is very happy today, what is the happy event?" Gan Qian came over and asked in confusion.

Lan Tian smiled and said, "Sister, pack your bags as soon as possible, we will leave here soon."

"Is your husband whereabouts?" Gan Qian asked happily.

"Yeah." Lan Tian nodded.

Guan Yu prepared gifts and went straight to Zhang Liao's residence.

When Zhang Liao learned that it was Guan Yu who had come, he walked out of the mansion to greet him.

"Yun Chang is really a rare guest, please come inside." Zhang Liao held Guan Yu's hand, warmly welcomed him into the mansion, and prepared a banquet.

After Guan Yu came to Xudu, he lived in seclusion and never had contact with Cao Cao's generals. This time he came to see Zhang Liao, which was unprecedented.

"Chang Yun bestowed an official title, Zhang Liao hadn't had time to congratulate him yet, so today's visit just makes up for it."

"Thanks to Wenyuan's care, I can barely get by in Xudu." Guan Yu said.

Zhang Liao put down his wine glass, pressed the back of Guan Yu's hand and said, "Yun Chang is a man of heaven and man, as long as the general is willing, the threshold of the Hanshouting Marquis Mansion will be broken."

"Wen Yuan knew my heart a long time ago, so why not?" Guan Yu shook his head and said.

Zhang Liao smiled and did not answer, the two continued drinking and chatting until they were half drunk.

Seeing that Zhang Liao's eyes were blurred, Guan Yu asked, "The prime minister sent his son, General Xiao, to suppress the rebellion in Runan. Wen Yuan, since you know my elder brother is there, why don't you tell me the truth? Guan is here today to say goodbye to you. "

Hearing these words, Zhang Liao shook his head like thunder, and asked in surprise, "How does Yun Chang know that Xuande is in Runan?"

"I have someone to tell me, now that the wine and food are enough, Guan will leave now." Guan Yu turned and left after speaking, his heart was overwhelmed, and Lan Tian asked him to startle the snake, and sure enough, he got the words out of Zhang Liao's mouth.

Zhang Liao sat in a daze for a while, and suddenly woke up and Guan Yu said he wanted to say goodbye. He hurried to Sikong's mansion to meet Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was very puzzled when he heard the news, "Yun Chang said someone told him Liu Bei's whereabouts? Could it be that there is an old friend of Yun Chang in our army?"

Zhang Liao was startled when he heard that, boss, you almost missed my name, and he hurriedly said: "Although we deliberately kept the news about Liu Bei in Runan from Yun Chang, everyone knows a lot about the situation. Is there a fish that slipped through the net?"

Cao Cao nodded his beard and said, "If that's not the case, then Yun Chang is deceiving you, or he has capable people around him to help."

"Yun Chang lied to me? I'm afraid it won't happen. General Guan is open-minded, and he only has a few dozen followers left, so how can anyone help him?" Zhang Liao said shaking his head.

Cao Cao said with gloomy eyes: "We are in a decisive battle with Yuan Shao. Now people in Xudu are in panic. I have to ask Yuan Rang to investigate secretly. The matter of Yun Chang has reminded us."

While the two were talking, an attendant outside the door came to report: Guan Yu hung a seal to seal the gold, and escorted the two wives to drive towards the south gate of Xudu. The city guards did not dare to stop them.

Zhang Liao thought that Yun Chang had really left?Still so fast.

Xu Chumao, the old guard, recommended himself, "A certain person has two hundred tigers, and I can recover this person for my lord."

Cao Cao looked at Zhang Liao, then looked at Xu Chu, and then sighed: "Guan Yunchang, a loyal man, each is his master, let him go."

Hearing what Cao Cao said, Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief.

Guan Yu escorted Mrs. Gan and Mi to Runan, but the speed of the journey was not fast because the entourage was walking.

Because of Cao Cao's order and Zhang Liao's secret care, Guan Yu's journey south was not hindered.

More than ten days later, Guan Yu and Lan Tian arrived near Pingyu County, and learned from the people that Cao Ren had defeated Liu Pi, and the rest fled towards Xincai in the southeast.

Guan Yu was shocked when he heard this, and led the crowd to continue in the direction of Xincai.

After walking fifty miles in Pingyu, Guan Yu asked everyone to rest beside the Hong River. At this time, there was a tall, black-faced and bearded man by the river.

Lan Tian looked at the strong man vigilantly, and the man kept looking at everyone. When he saw Guan Yu's astonishing appearance, and found a big banner with the word "Guan" beside the carriage, he ran over happily.

Guan Yu's phoenix eyes were bluffed, and he put his hand on the sword hilt at his waist.

"May I ask if you are General Guan Yunchang?" The man fell to the ground from a distance.

Guan Yu asked in surprise, "Who are you? How do you know my name?"

The man said happily: "The villain's name is Zhou Cang, he is from Kansai, he heard that the general's righteousness is so righteous, he once beheaded Yan Liang among thousands of troops, I don't want to meet here today."

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said proudly: "This small skill is not worth mentioning."

"The villain has admired the general for a long time. If the general does not give up, Zhou Cang is willing to be a pawn and lead the horse to fall for you." Zhou Cang prostrated himself on the ground and said respectfully.

Guan Yu was dumbfounded, so he looked at Lan Tian.

I saw Lan Tian kept nodding, and said to himself that this is your die-hard fan, please accept it quickly.

Guan Yu immediately said: "In that case, then get up and talk, why are you here?"

Zhou Cang jumped up when he heard that, he said excitedly: "I used to follow Zhang Bao in Yellow Turban, after the death of General Digong, I wandered around, and only voted for Liu Pi in Runan last year..."

"Liu Pi? Do you know the whereabouts of my elder brother Liu Xuande?" Guan Yu asked excitedly.

Zhou Cang nodded sharply and said: "Liu Shijun was with us in resisting Cao Ren a few days ago. After the defeat of Pinghe, we were all separated, but I know his whereabouts."

Chapter 50 Liu Bei invites Lan Ziyu for the second time

In Zhou Cang's narration, because of Cao Ren's rapid attack, Pingyu County was quickly defeated.

Liu Pi and Liu Bei's troops fled in two ways. Liu Pi led his main force to Shangcai in the southeast, while Liu Bei crossed Rushui to the west and went to Ancheng and Yichun to join Gongdu.

Gong Du was in the countryside between Yichun and Ancheng, and gathered thousands of refugees. He originally planned to respond to Liu Pi's attack, but the opponent was defeated before he even left here.

Under the leadership of Zhou Cang, the people crossed Rushui River and arrived at Ancheng at dusk.

Lan Tian reminded: "It's getting late now, why don't we camp here and go look for brother-in-law tomorrow morning."

Although Guan Yu was not tired at this time, he thought that the two sister-in-laws were tired from driving, so he ordered people to pitch camp to rest.

At night, Lan Tian and Guan Yu sat around the bonfire, Guan Yu looked at the starry sky and sighed: "This night is really long..."

"Waiting with hope, no matter how long it is, is worth it." Lan Tian comforted.

In the early morning of the next day, a group of people simply had breakfast, and Zhou Cang led the way with the Qinglong Saber on his shoulders, and they continued to march towards Yichun.

During the break, he met passers-by, and only then did he know that Gong Du had captured Yichun two days ago.

The crowd rushed to the outside of Yichun City in the afternoon, and saw blood stains on the field, flags looming in the grass, and corpses that had not been buried in time. It is certain that there has just been a fight here.

Guan Yu frowned and said to himself: "This looks like the uniform of Cao Cao's army. Could it be that Cao Ren chased him here?"

Not far away, drums sounded from the city tower, and as far as the eye could see, the banners were flying on the city wall, and dozens of horses were galloping towards them.

Guan Yu fixed his eyes and saw that it looked like Zhang Fei, and he urged the red rabbit horse to greet him excitedly.

Zhou Cang was shocked when he saw this, he ran up with the Qinglong Saber on his shoulders, chasing and shouting: "General Guan, saber, your saber..."

Lan Tian was stunned, thinking that this Hei Si was so loyal and cute, so he reined in his horse and chased after him.

Zhang Fei also saw that it was Guan Yu from a distance, so he picked up the snake spear and stabbed at it without saying a word. Fortunately, Guan Yu had quick eyes and quick hands, and he held the spear while dodging sideways.

"Third brother, I am the second brother." Guan Yu said.

Zhang Fei shouted angrily: "What second brother? I killed you, an unfaithful villain."

"Where did you say that?" Guan Yu asked blankly.

"I killed that Cai Yang just now, and now you come to meet him again, what benefit did Thief Cao give you?"

Zhang Fei's eyes widened with anger, while Guan Yu's face flushed red. The two wrestled with each other with snake spears, and they were almost evenly matched.

"Third brother, you are mistaken..."

Before Guan Yu finished speaking, Zhou Cang had already carried it to his body, "Don't hurt my lord, General Guan, your knife..."

Zhang Fei suddenly broke free from Guan Yu, picked up the snake spear and ran directly to Zhou Cang.

Seeing this, Zhou Cang raised his knife to block it, but Zhang Feima's quick snake spear stabbed like lightning.

"Third brother, don't..."
