Chapter 48 Cao Thief fell ill and tried
On the way back to Xudu, soldiers stayed overnight in Liuxian County.
Guan Yu saw Cao Cao's expressions strange during the day. He knew Cao Cao very well, so he did not live in his room. When he came to the cottage of the two wives of Gan and Mi, he found that Lantian was guarding the door.
"Didn't Ziyu go to rest?" Guan Yu greeted.
Lan Tian clasped his fists and said, "That Cao is fond of a woman. I am afraid that he will behave badly to his sister, so I stay here."
Guan Yu nodded and said, "Guan is also worried about this matter. We are in a good time at this time. Can Ziyu solve the confusion of the secret bag?"
Lan Tian smiled and said, "I heard that General Guan is righteous and unruly. I would rather break up than be a complete one. I am worried that you will be killed in vain, so no one will take care of my sister or the others."
"Ziyu is very concerned, but why do you assert that your elder brother is still alive?" Guan Yu asked in confusion.
"Either brother-in-law is captured or destroyed, Cao Cao will not surrender General Guan." Lantian analyzed.
"How can I explain this?"
"The general and his brother-in-law swear to live and die together. If his brother-in-law is captured, he will inevitably threaten to capture the general. If his brother-in-law is dead, how dare Cao Cao keep his enemy by his side?"
Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard and nodded, "What Ziyu said made me suddenly enlightened."
After Guan Yu said this, seeing Lan Tian looking calm, he suddenly stood up and fisted and said, "Brother, I don't know how good Zi Yu is, so I'm negligent. Guan apologizes to you for your brother."
Lan Tian waved his hand and said, "Why do you need this to be your own family? In fact, I am very comfortable working in Xiapi Hucao, but I have read a lot of books."
"I heard that you killed two bad guys with your own hands? I didn't expect that Ziyu, you are skilled in martial arts." Guan Yu suddenly said.
"It's just two rascals, not worth mentioning." Lan Tian said modestly.
"I have heard that Ziyu, you are quick and powerful in your sword. You are clearly a person who practices martial arts often. It just so happens that the weather is cold now, so we can warm up our body with gestures." Guan Yu was about to take action.
"How can I fight with you?" Lan Tian thought to himself, who dares to provoke you after Lu Bu's death? What's my virtue?
"It's okay, let's have a brief discussion." Guan Yu took off his armor and urged.
Lan Tian had no choice but to fight with Guan Yu. His body was smaller than the other party, so he was much more agile. Guan Yu had great power but was willing to give in. The two of them fought back and forth.
The two were sweating when Guan Yu suddenly stopped the offensive, and Xu Chu and Zhang Liao came together.
"General Guan, I'm so excited." Zhang Liao smiled with his fists.
"Wen Yuan has something to do?" Guan Yu asked with a puzzled look. He and Zhang Liao had some friendship, but Xu Chu was Cao Cao's guard, so why did he come here too?
"Oh, we wanted to find General Guan for a drink, but we didn't want you to be out of our room, so we found this place." Zhang Liao said with a smile.
"Guan also needs to protect his two sisters-in-law, so he won't help but please go back." Guan Yu signaled.
Xu Chu was stunned when he heard this, and Zhang Liao hurriedly said, "Okay, it's not too late for us to drink again when we arrive at Xu."
After Zhang Liao said that, he took Xu Chu away. Lan Tian looked at the backs of the two and said, "It is true that Zhang Liao invites the general to drink, but the other general has other plans."
"Xu Chu has other plans?" Guan Yu turned around and looked at the cottage of his two sisters-in-law, as if he understood something.
Xu Chu and Zhang Liao came to Cao Cao's residence. Cao Cao was a little disappointed when he saw the two of them returning empty-handed.
Xu Chu reported: "Lord, Guan Yu wants to guard Liu Bei's family all night. I can't succeed for a while. Please forgive me."
Cao Cao sighed: "Yun Chang is a true loyal and righteous man..."
At this time, Zhang Liao advised: "Lord, although Mrs. Gan is a concubine, she is Liu Bei's woman. If she forced herself to serve her, she may be hated by Yun Chang. It is easy to stop her from surrendering..."
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Wen Yuan's words are very good. Fortunately, you two did not act recklessly. I should stop this from now on."
"If the lord is...why might as well find him in Liu County?" Zhang Liao suggested.
"Forget it, this is a chilly day, I just think the bed is a little cold..."
"Lord, I can warm you up." As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Xu Chu volunteered to say.
Cao Cao laughed in silence. He took off his cloak and said, "The night is as cool as water in the first month. You need to go there again and send this cloak to Yunchang to protect the cold."
"Chang Yun and the young master were just competing for warmth. With the lord rewarded this cloak, I believe he will not be colder tonight." Zhang Liao echoed.
Cao Cao sat cross-legged on the bed and said with a smile: "Yun Chang's martial arts skills are extraordinary. Any young man who can fight with him? Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by three punches and two kicks?"
"I think Guan Yu is willing to give in, and that little man will not be in danger of his life." Xu Chu replied.
Zhang Liaoxin said that when you say this, how can you continue the topic? Isn’t this a pity to lord? He then clasped his fists and said, “Lord, General Xu should stay to protect your safety. I will send this cloak alone.”
"Go." Cao Cao said that, and turned over and lay on the couch.
After Guan Yu and Lantian walked a few times, the warmth of their bodies quickly rose.
In the second half of the night, Lantian suggested that the two of them take turns to rest. He found some wood to make a fire to keep warm. The two sat around the fire and chatted. Lantian's face was also roasted red.
After everyone arrived in Xudu, Cao Cao no longer coveted Gan Qian's beauty. He defeated Guan Yu as a side general. He not only gave him a red rabbit horse to Lu Bu, but also gave him clothes and supplies, and treated him very well.
When Lantian saw the Red Rabbit Horse, he instantly remembered Lu Lingqi. He didn't know how she was in Xinye and whether she had a firm foothold now, but with Gao Shun on his side to protect him, his life should be safe.
In February of the fifth year of Jian'an, after Yuan Shao received the imperial edict of Liu Bei, he felt that justice was in hand. He ordered Chen Lin to make an edict, calling on heroes from all over the world to kill Cao's thieves, and prepare for the army and horses to go south.
In March, Yuan Shao led Liu Bei to march into Liyang and sent general Yan Liang to encircle Baima. Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun, then asked Xu Du for help.
The battle between Yuan and Cao is about to come, and Guan Yu has no friends in Xu. Before going to war, he found Lantian and discussed: "The Prime Minister wants to lift the siege of the White Horse. What should I do?"
Lan Tian said: "General Guan should volunteer and fight bravely to the enemy. Only by killing generals and making contributions can he have the resources to escape."
"If Cao Cao cannot send me into battle, what will happen to you?" Guan Yu asked again.
Lan Tian smiled and said, "Yuan Shao is in Hebei, and he has many brave generals who are used to fighting. This time, you will have the opportunity to take action. I wish the general famous in Xuduyao to the world."
"Chengzi Yujiyan, I don't know what happened to my elder brother and third brother. When will we get out of Xu Du?" Guan Yu said.
"Don't worry, General Guan, brother-in-law, the charismatic appearance of the heavenly beings, will definitely be without any obstacles." Lan Tian comforted.
"I hope so."
Cao Cao took the suggestion of his adviser Xun You, and led his army to cross the river in Yanjin, inducing Yuan Shao to divide his troops in Yanjin. Then he advanced lightly and rushed to attack the white horse and attacked him unprepared.
Yuan Shao was indeed scored, but Cao Cao was blocked by Yan Liang on the white horse.
Yan Liang was a general under Yuan Shao, and was the bravest in Hebei. He killed several generals of Cao's army, so that no one dared to respond to the battle in Cao's camp. Cao Cao had no choice but to send Zhang Liao and Guan Yu to fight.
Zhang Liao was defeated when he fought with him. Guan Yu saw this and rushed into the enemy's formation. The people and horses in Hebei could not resist at all. Guan Yu killed Yan Liang's head among the troops and returned, and since then he became famous all over the world.
The chief general was beheaded, and Yan Liang was defeated in an instant. Cao Cao ordered the army to cover up and kill, and the siege of Baima was then lifted.
