Chapter 1903

Guan Yu's face was red and red. Even though he knew that Taishi Ci had no malice, he still felt embarrassed.

Taishi Ci ranked second among the nine governors, and was in charge of half of Youzhou. In terms of strength, only Liu Bei was equal to him. He was naturally not qualified as the prefect of Zhuo County. But from another perspective, in terms of strength, he was not weaker than Taishi Ci. When he seized Jiujiang for Sun Ce, Taishi Ci had not crossed the river. If he had not arrived in Youzhou thousands of miles away, Taishi Ci would have to move backwards and make a place for him.

Seeing that Guan Yu had a strong reaction, he looked somber and said nothing. Taishi Ci knew something was wrong, but he didn't ask directly, and took the initiative to change the topic. He spent several months with Guan Yu and knew Guan Yu's temper. He couldn't ask directly what he didn't want to say.

"What are your goals when you go out to fight after autumn?"

"Where are you?" Guan Yu asked back. Taishi Ci teased him. He lacked interest in the plan to join forces to fight the grasslands and did not want to mention it again.

"I don't have any clear goals, just routine cleaning. Gongsun Du fought in the Fuyu area, and the effect was good. There might be people from Fuyu moving west, so I'll send them a ride by the way." Taishici was very relaxed and a little embarrassed. "If you fight with me, you may not get any credit. It's better to hit the Khan Mountain. Go back and ask Liu Xuande to see if he is interested. If you need it, I can help you."

Guan Yu frowned slightly, and his mood became even more entangled.

Taishici severely damaged the four tribes of the Eastern Xianbei in the war two years ago. Last year, he went out to sweep the border. The Eastern Xianbei had been crippled by him. The tribes with a little strength either surrendered or moved westward, leaving only some small tribes to survive. Gongsun Du led his troops to conquer Goguryeo last year, and this year he fought in Fuyu again. Those people in Fuyu were no match for Gongsun Du, either hiding or running away.

Taishici has basically solved the border problem and can regain energy. Going to the frontier is like a scheduling. Behind Liu Bei is the royal court of the Xianbei people. Now it is still peaceful because of Yuan Tan, but it is a hidden danger after all. If Liu Bei fights Taishici, he will inevitably be subject to Yuan Tan. When he thought that Liu Bei led Yuan Tan as an ally and planned to transfer him from Zhuo County to Yuyang, he disagreed.

This is simply a joke, a way to destroy oneself.

Guan Yu was very anxious and a little distracted. Taishi Ci saw it and didn't say much, but just gave Zhuge Jin a wink. Zhuge Jin understood and nodded quietly. Taishi Ci ordered people to pull the horse out and urge Guan Yu to test the horse. Guan Yu thought that he might be riding the horse given by Sun Ce in the future and fighting Taishi Ci with the knife given by Sun Ce, and felt even more uncomfortable. He wanted to refuse, but he really liked the horse. Thinking that Liu Bei also said that Sun Ce was just likely to be an enemy of the court. Before he had reached that point, he responded halfway and halfway and turned over to the horse. Taishi Ci also led the mount, and each of them brought several personal guards out of the city and galloped.

As Taishici said, these Liangzhou horses were not known for their speed, but were just right for Guan Yu. Guan Yu's extraordinary weight had almost no effect. He ran for more than ten miles in one breath, but his speed was not slower, but he ran more and more easily. Compared with other war horses that ran for a few miles, these Liangzhou horses had obvious advantages.

Guan Yu was even more reluctant to let go. He made a secret decision. If there was really a day when he had to fight against Taishi Ci, he would never ride these war horses and would not use the Qinglong Sword.

After returning to the city, Taishi Ci invited Guan Yu to a banquet, and the two of them exchanged cups and chatted and laughed. During the meal, Zhuge Jin, who was accompanying him, talked about Danhan Mountain. A few years ago, he traveled on the grasslands, went to Dai County, Shanggu, Ning County, Huhuan School Magistrate, visited the border and Hu City, and had contact with the Xianbei and Wuhuan people.

"The Xianbei people, the Wuhuan people and the Xiongnu people, have never seen the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty, nor have they been defeated by the Han army, and have little respect for the Han Dynasty. Danhan Mountain is outside the Great Wall, less than two hundred miles away from the Great Wall. When the Xianbei people gather, the cavalry often enter the barrier, and the north of the Sanggan River is no longer owned by the Han Dynasty. The Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people have the same race, and there are many interactions. Two years ago, Niu Fu defeated Meiji, and the Huns were defeated, and some people also surrendered to the Xianbei. With the Wuhuan people and the Huns were guided, the Xianbei people knew the terrain of our border counties as their hands, and sooner or later they would be a big disaster..."

Guan Yu had met Zhuge Jin, but he was not good at this person, nor was he bad at this person. Now, when Zhuge Jin talked about the Xianbei people, he knew the situation of the border counties well and said something was quite surprising. Zhang Fei was the prefect of the county, and Tian Yu was the prefect of Shanggu. When they discussed matters together, their opinions were not as thorough as Zhuge Jin. This made Guan Yu even more worried, would Zhang Fei and Tian Yu be too careless and ignore the threats of the Xianbei people?

Taishici's suggestion is worth considering. Taking advantage of the fact that there is no major war in Youzhou, they will first severely damage the Xianbei people, at least pull out the Danhan Mountain. The Xianbei people set up Wang Ting here, which was simply contempt for the Han Dynasty. Since Liu Bei personally regarded himself as the Han clan, how could he tolerate such insults? Before Sun Ce had expressed his disrespect to the court, they were suspicious. The Xianbei people built Wang Ting under their noses, but they turned a blind eye to it, and they were simply indiscriminate.

When you go back, you must have a good talk with Xuande.

Guan Yu had an idea and immediately asked about the situation of Danhan Mountain, mountains, rivers and rivers. Zhuge Jin answered it one by one.

Taishi Ci sent Guan Yu ten miles away and bowed to his goodbye.

Seeing Guan Yu's tall figure disappearing among the weeping willows, Taishi Ci turned his horse's head back to the city, his smile dissipated, and his eyebrows slightly frowned. Zhuge Jin followed him, but his expression was relaxed, and he shook the horse whip and recited a poem.

Taishi Ci listened quietly, and his eyebrows gradually relaxed. After listening to Zhuge Jin chanting the poem, he praised two sentences. "Tiyu is in a good mood."

"What are the Governor worried about?"

"Liu Bei."

"Liu Bei is very talented and talented, and it is difficult to support him repeatedly. He is not the opponent of the governor. Why should the governor worry about him?"

"I'm not worried about him, I just think Guan Yu is a pity, so..."

"Guan Yu is unruly, what's the pity?" Zhuge Jin interrupted Taishi Ci and said slowly: "The governor thinks it was a mistake for the King of Wu to not leave Guan Yu?"

Taishi Ci was slightly stunned and looked back at Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Jin was not the kind of sharp person. He was always kind, but he was a little aggressive today. Of course, he didn't think Zhuge Jin had any intentions, but Zhuge Jin would never be targeted.

"Please give me advice."

Zhuge Jin was very good at inducing. "Governor, if the King of Wu had left Liu Bei, Guan Yu would never come to Youzhou. But would that be fine? How should the King of Wu use Liu Bei and how should Guan Yu?"

Taishi Ci thought something. He understood Zhuge Jin's meaning. It was not that Sun Ce could not keep Guan Yu, but that he had no intention of keeping Guan Yu. Liu Bei was rebellious and could not let go. Guan Yu was unruly and could not take heavy responsibilities. These two people could not be ignored or reused in the Central Plains. Instead, it was better than Liu Bei returned to Youzhou and restrained Yuan Tan. Guan Yu was both Liu Bei's assistant and an unstable factor around Liu Bei.

"It's still the best King Wu." Taishi Ci woke up from a dream and felt deeply moved. Sun Ce made the arrangement a few years ago, and he only realized now that he was reminded by Zhuge Jin.

"The governor is a general, and the King of Wu is a general." Zhuge Jin said lightly. "For the monarch, knowing people and responsibilities are good, and choosing their abilities is more important than charging and striking the battlefield. The King of Wu knows the governor, but the governor does not know the King of Wu."

Taishi Ci laughed loudly and bowed to Zhuge Jin to greet him. "Shame, ashamed." He let out a sigh, relaxed all over, and thought for a moment and said, "So, the King of Wu may have been prepared for Yuan Tan and Liu Bei to join forces?"

"Yuan Tan and Liu Bei each have their own ulterior motives, so it is impossible for them to cooperate sincerely. The barely alliance is just a form and there is no threat. But with their leadership, those conservatives who are full of the King of Wu will have the opportunity to gather. The enemy and our forces are obvious at a glance. Why not do it? The King of Wu is following the right path, following the general trend. Those who follow the trend will prosper, and those who go against the trend will perish. This is the great way. Some people are not something that the governor can save as soon as he wants, and it depends on whether he can save himself."

Taishi Ci sighed softly. He understood Sun Ce’s intention, but still felt sorry for Guan Yu. With Guan Yu’s personality, it was not difficult for him to change his past. Unless Liu Bei acted against him and disappointed him, or Liu Bei had to bow to Sun Ce again, Guan Yu might have a chance to serve Sun Ce.

But who can you blame for this? Maybe this is his life.

Guan Yu returned to Jicheng and proposed to Liu Bei to change his plan and attack Danhan Mountain.

Along the way, he thought a lot, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible. Danhanshan was the royal court of the Xianbei people, which was a hidden danger for Youzhou. If it was not removed in time, no matter who Liu Bei went to war with in the future, it would be inevitable to avoid worries. Liu Bei wanted to make meritorious service and be the king, attack the Xianbei people, and seize the Xianbei people's royal court, which was a good opportunity.

Liu Bei was amused and cried. He could not have imagined that Guan Yu would have such a big change when he went to Changli. He was very worried that with Guan Yu's uneasy nature, Taishi Ci might be alert and refused to join forces with Guan Yu, so he encouraged Guan Yu to attack Banhanshan.

The royal court that attacked the Mount of the Brahma and seized the Xianbei people sounded beautiful, but it was not easy to do. The Xianbei people were not from the Central Plains. They lived by water and plants. The royal court was just a symbol at best. If it was lost, it would be lost. At most, it would be lost. At most, it would be of little influence. Because of this, attacking Mount of the Brahma is not only meaningless, but it may attract revenge from the Xianbei people. From then on, he will not have any peace.

Guan Yu was very unhappy about Liu Bei's hesitation. You pushed you and stopped four times when fighting the alien race, and you were very active against the King of Wu who was kind to you and me. Why did Yang Meng not come back? Taishi Ci defeated the four Xianbei tribes in the eastern part of 10,000 cavalry. You held more troops but did not dare to attack the Xianbei in the central part of the country. You looked forward and looked back and forth, who would be so cowardly, who would follow you?

Liu Bei was so angry that he left with a look of shame.
