Chapter 125(1/2)
Liu Bei did not want to monitor Guan Yu, but was worried that Guan Yu would run to Liu Chuang to fight desperately.
As Lu Bu defeated Zhang Xun in Daze Township, many people who had despised Lu Bu and even thought that Lu Bu was old became vigilant again.
Even though Lu Bu is old, he is still the tiger that can eat people.
The more this happens, the less Liu Bei wants to fight against Lu Bu.
He understood that if he fought with Lu Bu and lived to the death, the one who benefited in the end would probably be Cao Cao.
Yes, Cao Cao seemed to value Liu Bei very much. But Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao was just using him unless he was a person with no ambition. But did Liu Bei have no ambition? If he had no ambition, he would not have been involved in the matter of descendants of King Jing of Zhongshan.
A dignified Han clan member, it is not a glorious thing to be at his level.
It is precisely for this reason that Liu Bei always had a guard against Cao Cao.
Unfortunately, he was too weak and did not have the fortune of Cao Cao... Although Cao Cao was not a relative of the Han Dynasty, he was a descendant of officials. No matter how he got his position as a Taiwei, he was once a Taiwei. In addition, Cao Cao had early office, so he had a natural advantage. Compared to Liu Bei, who had to make a living by weaving mats and selling shoes, Cao Cao's starting point was undoubtedly several levels higher.
While paying attention to the movements of Lu Bu and Xia Pi, Liu Bei was careful and prepared his troops.
After nightfall, he suddenly received news: Guan Ping is back!
After hearing this news, Liu Bei was extremely surprised.
But he was wondering how Guan Ping ran back?
So, he took Zhang Fei and hurried to Guan Yu's military tent to visit.
Guan Yu quickly got up and took Guan Ping to salute Liu Bei, "Brother, why are you here?"
"Oh, I was patrolling the camp with Yide just now, but unexpectedly saw Tanzhi coming back, so I came to visit."
Naturally, he would not tell Guan Yu that I was monitoring you because I was afraid of your impulse. Even if I had good intentions, with Guan Yu's temperament, I would probably turn against Liu Bei. So, he made up a lie very tactfully. As for whether Guan Yu believed it or not? Anyway, Liu Bei believed it.
Liu Bei looked worried and held Guan Ping's hand.
"Frankly, but suffered.
It was all my incompetence that I was so tired that I was humiliated…”
As he spoke, Liu Bei's eyes turned red and tears shone in his eyes.
Guan Ping was frightened and hurriedly bowed: "If you have any trouble, the lord will worry about it. This is not the lord's fault. If you are not good at learning skills, you will be able to suffer this disaster."
"By the way, how did Tanzhi come back?"
Guan Ping did not hesitate at all, "It was Liu Chuang who let me back."
"How come Liu Chuang's son is so kind? He actually lets you back like that?"
Zhang Fei couldn't help but speak, but suddenly made Guan Yu and his son change their faces, showing a hint of anger.
He actually had no other meaning, but he was wondering why Liu Chuang let Guan Ping come back. But there was something wrong with what he said, just like Guan Ping did something that was sorry for Liu Bei, so Liu Chuang put him back.
"Yide, how do you speak."
Liu Bei observed his expression and expression, and he could not see the unhappy expression on Guan Yu's face.
He quickly scolded Zhang Fei, and then smiled and said, "Don't blame Yun Chang, Yide is not interested, he just cares about him."
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu, Guan and Zhang joined forces in Taoyuan.
But according to the Three Kingdoms, the so-called Taoyuan feudal was actually fabricated by Mr. Luo Guanzhong.
The brothers Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Enruo actually have some distance between them.
Guan Yu glanced at Zhang Fei and said in a deep voice: "I was talking about this with Tanzhi just now, but Liu Chuang actually let him back, which is really strange.
Look, he also wrote a letter to me, I haven't finished reading it yet."
Guan Yu was open-minded and felt that there was nothing worth hiding, so he even took the initiative to hand the letter to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei took it and glanced, his heart skipped a beat.
The smear on the letter looked extremely eye-catching and even more dazzling.
He secretly glanced at Guan Yu, but saw that Guan Yu looked normal, and was hesitating whether to ask what the graffiti on Guan Yu’s letter was about. Zhang Fei couldn’t help but say, “Second brother, this is a good word, but what about these smears?”
Guan Yu was stunned, "How did I know?
This is what happened when Tanzhi brought it... Haha, I think it was because Liu Chuang's literary talent was not good, so he smeared and revised it. I just told Tanzhi that Liu Mengyan wrote good handwriting. But when it comes to literary talent, it is really bad, so he has to smear it even if he writes a letter."
"Is this really the case?"
Guan Yu didn't take this matter to heart at all, but he didn't expect Zhang Fei to be unable to bear it.
"Yide, what do you mean?"
"Second brother, I don't know how good Liu Chuang's literary talent is, but I know that he once made a small order.
The peaks are like gathering, the waves are like anger, the mountains and rivers are like Hangu Roads. Looking at the western capital, I feel hesitant, sad that the place where I pass by during the Qin Dynasty, the palaces and thousands of palaces have been made of earth... This little ling is not of high style, but it also has a lot of charm. I am a little strange. Even if a person who can make such a little ling does not have to write a good letter, even if his literary talent is not high, he will not even be able to write a letter well. Not to mention, he is now under Zheng Xuan, don’t he know that he has lost his etiquette like this?
That's why I want to ask for advice from my second brother."
Zhang Fei opened his eyes wide and looked directly at Guan Yu.
Guan Yu raised his eyebrow and his eyes closed slightly, and he looked at Zhang Fei.
Records of the Grand Historian, Liu, Guan and Zhang, have a deep relationship and are intimate.
But in fact, no matter how close these three people are, there will be gaps in between.
Liu Bei, a devastating family, Zhang Fei and a powerful landlord. The relationship between the two may be more intimate, because to some extent, they are a class. But Guan Yu is different. He is a real, without any false ordinary people. He fled his hometown because of murder, wandered around, and made a living by selling dates. His social status is very different than that of Liu and Zhang.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Fei may have always respected Liu Bei very much, but he may not be as respected as Guan Yu on the surface.
There was once a story in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
After Guan Yu killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he rode alone thousands of miles away, and met Zhang Fei in the ancient city.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei would kill Guan Yu as soon as he saw Guan Yu, because he believed that Guan Yu had betrayed Liu Bei... If Guan and Zhang were indeed as close as recorded in historical books, Zhang Fei would definitely not have doubted Guan Yu. Even when Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan came forward to testify, Zhang Fei still insisted on his own and insisted that Guan Yu kill Cai Yang to prove his innocence... From the bottom of his heart, he did not believe in Guan Yu.
Think about it, it's normal.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are two social figures after all.
In fact, since then, Guan and Zhang have never cooperated, and they basically lead their own troops.
When Guan Yu heard Zhang Fei's questioning, his face darkened, "How do I know what's going on?"
"Yide, Yun Chang, don't say anything else."
When he saw that Guan and Zhang were about to squat, Liu Bei hurriedly came forward to stop him.
"Yi De, this matter has nothing to do with Chang Yun. I think it was Liu Chuang's child who wanted to alienate our brotherly friendship.
The child was extremely cunning and scheming. Yun Chang was a loyal man, so how could he recognize the child's treacherous plot? Yide, you still don't apologize."
Zhang Fei looked unhappy.
However, he had to listen to Liu Bei's words and stepped forward and said, "Don't blame me, second brother, I'm too careless."
"snort!"
Guan Yu turned his head and ignored Zhang Fei.
Liu Bei hurriedly pulled Zhang Fei out, "Chang Yun, you meet Tanzhi again, there must be a lot to say between the father and son.
If there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow."
He dragged Zhang Fei out of the military tent, and only Guan Yu and Guan Ping were left in the tent.
"Hmph, it's so outrageous."
Guan Yu was furious and sat back on the couch.
Guan Ping took a step forward and crawled in front of Guan Yu and said, "Father, it's all the children who caused trouble, and they were actually Liu Chuang's trick."
The anger on Guan Yu's face disappeared a little, "Frankly, you are my son, you have made a huge mistake and you will bear it with your own strength.
Besides, you can't blame you for this. You are young and have insufficient experience. It's not surprising that you are plotted against by Liu Chuang, and you can't take it as a matter of no reason."
In terms of age, Guan Ping is older than Liu Chuang...
Guan Ping stood up, but he wanted to speak but stopped.
Guan Yu said: "Frankly, you have something to say, but it doesn't matter."
"Father, this may sound unpleasant to my child, but...Don't my father think that the lord and the third uncle came too quickly?"
"Um?"
"When the child came back, he didn't see anyone patrolling the camp.
Moreover, the child was worried about causing trouble for his father, so he was very careful along the way. But not long after the child came back, the lord came, which means..."
"Nothing can be said."
Guan Yu interrupted Guan Ping's words and said in a deep voice: "Frankly, there are only you, my father and son in this big tent, and you can speak unscrupulously. But after leaving the military tent, you have to be careful. Also, who is on duty outside today? Why is there no one notified me when the lord is here?
Let’s be honest, and the matter is thoroughly investigated. Anyone who is on duty today will be killed.
From tomorrow, you will personally lead the army... Also, you are too rude to speak just now, and you will apologize to your third uncle tomorrow."
"Here!"
Guan Ping did not dare to talk more, so he quickly bowed his order.
"Okay, go down and wash, take a break early, and get up tomorrow, and there are still many things to do."
Guan Yu waved his hand and asked Guan Ping to leave.
He sat alone in the big tent, picked up the "Spring and Autumn Annals" and read a few lines, but suddenly he was upset and couldn't stand it.
