Chapter 5 True and False Guan Yu
Three days later, on the way to Xuzhou City.
From a distance, I saw a dusty sky full of dust. Among the countless red flags, a Guan flag was hung at the front.
I saw more than a hundred cavalry in the front, followed by about five hundred heavy-armored infantry.
Under the Guan banner, a general with a heavy date, a long beard on his face, and a Qinglong Yanyue Sword was sitting steadily on a Huang Biao horse.
From a distance, you can see the terrifying aura of this person. When you look at this look, you don’t have to think too much about it. This is naturally the Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang who are so shocking around the world.
Of course, Guan Yu is not really Guan Yu. But Guan Sheng’s fake Guan Yu. Li Chen accepted the advice of the veterinarian. Let Guan Sheng pretend to be Guan Yu, and then tricked Xuzhou City into his hands.
Judging from the appearance of Guan Sheng and Guan Yu, he is almost 80% sure of acting like this. It is not that he has never seen Guan Yu in Xuzhou City, but there is absolutely no difference between Guan Yu and Guan Sheng in a hurry.
Xuzhou City, Tao Qian’s Mansion.
On the bed in the bedroom, there was an old man who was thin and seemed to be about to settle down at any time. This person was Tao Qian, the Muslim Mother of Xuzhou.
Tao Qian is a civil servant. Although he manages Xuzhou in an orderly manner, he is not military and has a cowardly personality.
Last year, when Cao Cao came to attack, he said that if Tao Qian did not surrender, he would kill Tao Qian's family when the city was broken. Fortunately, Lu Bu, the second-five-child, sneaked into Puyang, and Cao Cao retreated.
Since Cao Cao withdrew from the army, Tao Qian has been seriously ill. Not to mention being in charge of Xuzhou government affairs, it is difficult to say when he can live to the point of time.
Logically speaking, the son should be the one who inherited his father's business at this time. However, Tao Qian's two sons, the eldest son Tao Shang and the second son Tao Ying were both businessmen and had no intention of becoming an official.
In other words, inheriting Xuzhou is not a good choice now. Whether it is Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, or even Sun Ce of the Eastern Wu, they are all staring at this piece of fat. There are a shortage of soldiers and generals in Xuzhou, and the three melons and two jujubes in the city are not enough for everyone to beat him.
Tao Qian, the third one, has a plan. Anyway, we can't hold on to Xuzhou, so we should stop asking for it. With the money we made in Xuzhou for so many years, we returned to our hometown Danyang, which is a rich man.
I decided to leave, but I had to find a next home for Xuzhou. This pregnant girl in her previous life knew to find a buyer. Tao Qian ran away and had to find a buyer for Xuzhou.
At this time, Tao Qian's subordinate Xuzhou, Bitmai Zhu, spoke: "That Liu Bei is good, he is an honest man."
Tao Qian thought about it and was right. Liu Bei had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and seemed to be a good candidate for the takeover, so he contacted Liu Bei and decided to give him Xuzhou.
"Dad, I heard that Uncle Liu had sent Guan Yu as the pioneer and led 500 elite soldiers to take over Xuzhou." The thin pottery merchant said to his father on the bed.
Upon hearing this, Tao Qian got up from the bed and said to his son: "Go and pack gold, silver and soft, let's go today?"
"Dad, are we going so anxious? Don't you meet Uncle Liu?" Tao Shang asked in confusion.
"Son, this person's heart is unpredictable. Let's go now and take away all the gold and silver in the city. If Liu Bei comes, it may not be possible at that time." Tao Qian said to his son earnestly.
"Dad, I'll go now, let's leave in the afternoon." The Tao merchant responded.
Although Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei, what was left to Liu Bei was a mess. The gold, silver and treasures in the warehouse in the city were packed up by Tao Qian, and even the food in the warehouse was sold to the aristocratic families in the city early.
Tao Qian gave up in Xuzhou City, but what he gave up was an empty city.
An hour later, as soon as Tao Qian left, "Guan Yu" led five hundred steps to the city of Xuzhou.
On the city of Xuzhou.
Mi Zhu stood on the city, behind him were Zang Ba, Sun Guan and Chen Deng.
Mi Zhu and Chen Deng were civil officials, while Zang Ba and Sun Guan were military generals. These four people were already considered the pillars of Xuzhou.
As for the rest of the Xuzhou officialdom, they can only use four words to evaluate it, it’s better not to mention it.
Mi Zhu advocated sending Xuzhou to Liu Bei, while Chen Deng believed that even if Xuzhou was sent to Liu Bei, Liu Bei could not defend it. Since this was the case, it would be better to surrender to Cao Cao, which would save Xuzhou from the suffering of war.
However, Tao Qian is a man who pays attention to fame. In contrast, sending Xuzhou to Liu Bei is naturally much better than surrendering like Cao Cao. As for whether Liu Bei can defend it, whether Xuzhou is implicated by the war has nothing to do with Tao Qian.
Mi Zhu looked down at the city and saw that the general under the city was eight feet tall, with long beards dragged on his jaw, long temples on his temples, a pair of phoenix eyes, a complexion like heavy dates, and his lips were as if he was covered with rouge.
"It's Guan Yunchang, it's not bad." Mi Zhu thought to himself and walked down the city.
When he arrived in front of Guan Sheng, Mi Zhu bowed and said, "Mr. Tao has returned to his hometown Danyang first. Now I will hand over this Xuzhou city to Brother Yun."
Guan Sheng stroked his long beard and said to Mi Zhu: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Guan will take a step first. My lord will arrive tomorrow morning, and the handover will be held at that time."
"It's so good, very good." Mi Zhu said with a smile.
You know, Tao Qian was able to agree to let Chu Xuzhou City and Liu Bei, and Mi Zhu was lobbying. Waiting for Liu Bei to become the lord of Xuzhou, Mi Zhu was the minister of the dragon.
But Mi Zhu didn't know that this Guan Yu was not that Guan Yu. The lord in front of Guan Yu's mouth was not the lord he thought.
Guan Sheng opened his eyes of Danfeng and said to Mi Zhu: "Since that's the case, then what if you hand over this city wall to Guan first?"
"General Guan, can you believe it..." Zang Ba was just halfway through his words, and Sun Guan pulled him back.
"It should be, it should be." Sun Guan hurriedly smoothed out the situation.
"Go back to camp."
"Leave the city wall here to General Guan." Zang Ba waved his hand and said angrily.
Seeing that Guan Yu was cold-hearted, Mi Zhu and others didn't say anything more, and bowed and said, "Since that's the case, then we will continue until Uncle Liu arrives here tomorrow."
After Mi Zhu and others left, Guan Sheng lay in the ear of a soldier and whispered. Not long after, a few fast horses ran towards the outside of the city.
Xuzhou City, thirty miles away.
"Lord, the scout comes to report."
"General Guan Sheng has tricked Xuzhou into his hands." Zhang Dequan, the veterinarian, reported.
That night, the Xuzhou city gate suddenly opened.
As soon as he entered Xuzhou, Li Chen immediately began to issue orders.
"Where is Li Siye?"
"The last one will be there."
"I ordered you to lead 800 Mo Dao soldiers and 3,000 infantry soldiers to quickly control the Xuzhou camp."
"promise."
"Where is Guan Sheng?"
"The last one will be there."
"I will lead 500 step men to control officials from Xuzhou. I will see them in the provincial governor's office within an hour."
"promise."
