Chapter 78 Guan Yu's Dilemma

Ye Zhao has basically decided on his future cooperation with Zhong Yao. In the world, Xu You is still debating with Zhang Ren and other students of the academy.

In fact, the aristocratic family has shown signs of excessive expansion to this day, or in other words, the aristocratic family has too many resources, which can affect the decisions of the leader of a force.

Looking at today, some powerful princes will more or less suppress the aristocratic families, but to varying degrees, Ye Zhao may not be the most cruel. However, this is the only one who promotes and even publicly cultivates children of poor families and even poor people like Ye Zhao. For the envoys from all sides who came here this time, they have indeed touched their sensitive nerves.

But so what? No matter how long the princes' hands are, it is difficult to reach Shu, let alone affect Ye Zhao. Xu You's behavior will not have any practical effect except for disgusting Ye Zhao.

After two bloody sweeps of Liu Yan and Ye Zhao, the scholars in Shu were already seriously injured. Even if they agreed with Xu You's statement, no one had the courage to fight against Ye Zhao again. Therefore, Xu You's behavior, in the eyes of Ye Zhao and Zhong Yao, was a bit like a clown who jumped into the eyes of Ye Zhao.

"Lord, Gongsun Zan from Youzhou sent an envoy to send a gift." After the official statement, Ye Zhao was chatting with Zhong Yao about some knowledge, but saw Dian Wei quickly approaching Ye Zhao and whispering.

"If there is anything wrong with Ye Hou, I will say goodbye first." Seeing this, Zhong Yao stood up and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty Yuan Chang came here with you. You can talk about the attendants from all over the world when you are not well received." Ye Zhao also stood up and said.

"Ye Hou is so serious. I only saw you in your life. Ye Hou doesn't have to worry. He happened to hand over a greeting to Mr. Cai. Calculate the time and it's time to visit him. I'll say goodbye." Zhong Yao smiled and shook his head.

"The envoy of Youzhou is here, so why bother to tell me specifically?" After seeing off Zhong Yao, Ye Zhao turned his head and looked at Dian Wei, and said helplessly.

There were too many envoys from various families, so Ye Zhao could not meet them one by one.

"It was Guan Yunchang who came with his son. I thought the lord wanted to see him." Dian Wei said.

"Guan Yu?" Ye Zhao was stunned when he heard this: "How could Gongsun Zan send him?"

Youzhou is too far from Shuzhong, and it is too far away. Ye Zhao's temporary center is located in Shuzhong. He doesn't know much about the situation in Youzhou, and he can't help but frown when he hears this.

Guan Yu is now a general under Gongsun Zan. When the heroes were in alliance, he saw that Gongsun Zan was quite dependent on Guan Yu. Although he would send people to the princes of his family, he would not send important people around him unless he had any requests. Especially a general like Guan Yu, who would he not be very eloquent, but if Ye Zhao stayed behind, who would he ask for advice?

It seems that there are differences or conflicts between Gongsun Zan and Guan Yu, and Guan Yu is marginalized by Gongsun Zan.

"Will you see me?" Dian Wei looked at Ye Zhao and said.

"Welcome immediately... No, I should greet you in person!" Ye Zhao stood up and walked out.

Needless to say, Guan Yu has a good martial arts skills, and he has a good attitude towards command, especially in the past few years of training under Gongsun Zan, he often fought with foreign races. When he fought against Tiger Old, he could see that among the princes, Guan Yu was the only unit that fought against Lu Bu head-on. Although he suffered heavy losses, Lu Bu also suffered considerable losses.

Moreover, Ye Zhao felt that Guan Yu still had room for improvement. In short, since such a talented general came, how could Ye Zhao let it go?

He immediately brought Dian Wei to welcome the world out of the stairs.

Guan Yu was obviously coming all the way with a strong look of dust. At this moment, he was recording gifts under the guidance of the waiter at the Tianxia Tower. Behind him, in addition to more than ten guards escorting gifts, there were two young men, one of whom was about fourteen or five years old, with a 80-slight appearance similar to Guan Yu, but his face was tender, without a blushing face or long beard, and looked like a young version of Guan Yu, while the other was in a coarse linen and covered with bandit spirit. Ye Zhao didn't care much about it. There were many such people under him, Dian Wei and Guan Hai were typical.

"Brother Yun!" Ye Zhao laughed and walked forward quickly. Regardless of Guan Yu's dust, he stepped forward and pulled Guan Yu and said, "I don't want to see you again in Luoyang so quickly. Brother Bo Gui is really like this. I'll send a young general to send a gift. I've worked for Yun Chang to travel thousands of miles."

From Yuyang to Chengdu, it is more than a thousand miles away. You can imagine how much hardship Guan Yu suffered to come before Ye Zhao’s wedding.

"See Ye Hou!" Guan Yu hurriedly bowed to the salute.

"You and I have known each other for nearly ten years, why should we be so polite?" Ye Zhao pulled Guan Yu and walked upstairs. The scholars and officials along the way hurriedly avoided him. At the same time, he looked at Guan Yu curiously and whispered, guessing Guan Yu's identity. After all, with Ye Zhao's current status, even a well-known celebrity like Zhong Yao, he did not see Ye Zhao's courtesy. Although Guan Yu was born in extraordinary ways, he had never heard of his reputation. For some reason, he was treated so politely by Ye Zhao.

"Yu is just a county magistrate, why don't Yehou do this?" Guan Yu could naturally hear the whispers of the scholars around him and said a little uncomfortable.

"You and I met each other in the past, and they are similar in origin. Although we have different identities now, Zhao has always admired Brother Yun as a human being. Why should Brother Yun care about other people's opinions?" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Ye Hou is very loving, Yu is ashamed!" Guan Yu bowed, but a warm feeling came from his heart for a long time. His brother was alienated from him, and Gongsun Zan also rejected him. Even though he was so powerful, no one really valued him in the Youzhou officialdom. Today, being greeted by Ye Zhao like this solemnly made Guan Yu feel moved.

"I haven't told me yet why Brother Bo Gui asked Chang Yun to come? Although Zhao also wanted to talk to Brother Yun, because of Brother Yun's status, no matter what, Chang Yun shouldn't come here in person." Ye Zhao looked at Guan Yu curiously.

Although Xu You is not very famous, his weight around Yuan Shao is really not as high as Guan Yu’s weight around Gongsun Zan. At best, he is just a counselor, and Yuan Shao is not short of it.

"There are only Yu and Ye Hou in the general's tent, so they were sent by the general." Guan Yu shook his head and said.

"So that's it." Ye Zhao nodded with a smile. As for this reason... just pretend it is right.

"It was clearly that Gongsun Zan didn't believe in my father!" Ye Zhao was about to change the subject, but saw the young man beside Guan Yu suddenly said with an indignant look on his face.

"Be presumptuous, don't be rude!" Guan Yu frowned and shouted fiercely when he heard this.

"This is..." Ye Zhao looked at the boy curiously.

"Forgive me, Mr. Ye, this is the bad son Guan Ping. I have never seen Mr. Ye!" Guan Yu glared at the young man and groaned.

"Guan Ping meets Ye Hou!" Guan Ping stepped forward and bowed to Ye Zhao in a regular manner.

"No gifts, if you count it, you should call me uncle." Ye Zhao stretched out his hand and helped Guan Ping up. The smile on his face became even happier. In short, Ye Zhao is now in his thirties and is no longer the young boy he had just started his official career.

"This is a warrior who was captured when Yu passed through Runan. He was named Zhou Cang. He was quite brave and was not a bad person." Guan Yu pointed to the bandit-like man beside him and said to Ye Zhao.

"Zhou Cang met Ye Hou and heard of Ye Hou's name for a long time! It is a blessing for Zhou Cang to meet Ye Hou today!" Zhou Cang bowed to Ye Zhao excitedly.

"Oh?" Ye Zhao looked at Zhou Cang in surprise, and also reached out to help him up Xiao Ao: "There are many heroes in the world, and there are many heroes from the grass-roots background under my tent. General Zhou doesn't have to be restrained."

Guan Yu sighed and said, "Zhou Cang was originally a general under Zhang Bao, the leader of the Taiping Cult in the past. When the Yellow Turbans were defeated, Ye Hou refused to rebel against the General of the Central Army in Nanyang to save the Taiping Cult captives. Zhou Cang was among them at that time. In summary, Ye Hou had the grace of survival for him."

"Kangmoto wants to serve Ye Hou, but it's a pity that he doesn't have any way." Zhou Cang bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "I've seen Ye Hou today, please accept Zhou Cang's bow. Thank you for your kindness in life!"

"Rao Er raised his hand and fought on the battlefield. Life and death are fate, but killing and surrendering is really contrary to heaven." Ye Zhao received a gift from Zhou Cang and helped him up and said, "In this way, General Zhou is here to join me?"

Zhou Cang shook his head and bowed, "Zhou Cang's heart has been in the cover of Ye Hou for a long time, but he also admires General Guan's integrity. Now that he has been under General Guan's command, please forgive Zhou Cang for being rude. I am afraid that he will not be able to serve Ye Hou in this life. If there is a next life, Zhou Cang is willing to make a fortune and tie a ring to repay Ye Hou's life."

"It's a man!" Ye Zhao didn't care. If he had met Zhou Cang when he was fighting against the Yellow Turbans, Ye Zhao would definitely try to subdue him. But now Ma... It's better for generals of this level to be willing to vote. If he doesn't want to, Ye Zhao wouldn't force him too much. After all, Zhou Cang is at best just a brave general. Unless he reaches Dian Wei's level, he will not be very attractive to Ye Zhao.

"What the son said..." Ye Zhao looked at Guan Ping again and said, "But Brother Bo Gui and Liu Youzhou have a conflict recently?"

"Go back to Yehou!" Guan Ping bowed and said, "There was already a conflict between General Gongsun and Liu Youzhou. He was alienated from my father because my father had reminisced about the past with his uncle, uncle and the third uncle before leaving Hulao Pass that day."

Guan Yu wanted to stop him, but Guan Ping spoke too quickly and had to sigh.

"It seems that Brother Bo Gui has transferred his resentment towards Liu Youzhou to his other brother." Ye Zhao touched his chin and thought, "Yun Chang, I have a word, maybe it doesn't sound nice."

"Ye Hou just said it's okay." Guan Yu bowed and bowed.

"I really looked down on my other brother back then. Not only because of personal grievances, but because of his great joy and no one knows himself." Ye Zhao sat down and said, "But when we met last time, it made me feel a lot. Liu Bei is now a little talented. However, with the current situation in Youzhou, Gongsun Zan has now won Jihou and General Fenwu. He already has enough political capital. There will be a battle with Liu Youzhou sooner or later. I will ask you, are you willing to help your other brother kill Bo Gui, or help Bo Gui become enemies with your other brother?"

"This..." A look of struggle flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, and he finally shook his head. On one side were the sworn brothers, but on the other side was Shangguan, who had been very kind to him in recent years. Guan Yu was really confused.
