Chapter 50 Liu Bei invites Lan Ziyu
In Zhou Cang's narrative, because Cao Ren came quickly, he quickly defeated Pingyu County.
Liu Pi and Liu Bei fled in two groups. Liu Pi led his main force to Shangcai in the southeast, while Liu Bei crossed the Ru River to Ancheng and Yichun to join Gongdu.
Gong Du gathered thousands of refugees in the countryside between Yichun and Ancheng. He originally planned to respond to Liu Pi's actions, but the other party was defeated before he even left.
Under the leadership of Zhou Cang, everyone crossed the Rushui River and arrived in Ancheng almost dusk.
Lantian reminded: "It's getting late now, so we might as well set up camp here and go to find our brother-in-law early tomorrow morning."
Although Guan Yu was not tired at this time, he considered that his two sisters-in-law were exhausted in driving, so he asked him to set up a camp to rest.
At night, Lantian and Guan Yu sat around the bonfire. Guan Yu looked at the starry sky and sighed: "This night is so long..."
"The waiting with hope is worth it no matter how long it takes." Lantian comforted.
The next morning, the group had a simple breakfast, and Zhou Cang carried the Qinglong sword to lead the way, and they continued to head towards Yichun.
When I was resting halfway through, I met a passerby and then I realized that Gong Du had already captured Yichun two days ago.
Everyone rushed outside Yichun City in the afternoon and saw blood stains on the wilderness, flags looming in the grass, and corpses that had not yet been buried. It is certain that there had just been a fight here.
Guan Yu frowned and said to himself: "This is like Cao Cao's outfit. Could it be that Cao Ren has chased him here?"
There was a sound of drums on the city tower not far away. Looking around, the flags were waving on the city wall, dozens of riders were sprinting in clusters.
Guan Yu looked closely and looked like Zhang Fei. He urged the Red Rabbit Horse Fei to meet him excitedly.
Zhou Cang was shocked when he saw this. He carried the Qinglong sword and ran up, chasing him and shouting: "General Guan, knife, your sword..."
Lan Tian was stunned and thought to himself that this black guy was so loyal that he also stopped chasing him.
Zhang Fei also saw that it was Guan Yu from afar. Without saying a word, he picked up the snake spear and stabbed it. Fortunately, Guan Yu was quick-eyed and quick-handed. While dodging sideways, he held the spear while holding it.
"Third brother, I am the second brother." Guan Yu said.
Zhang Fei shouted angrily: "What second brother? The one I killed is you, an unfaithful villain."
"Where do you start?" Guan Yu asked blankly.
"I just killed Cai Yang, and you are here to pick him up again. What benefits did Cao Thief give you?"
Zhang Fei's eyes widened, while Guan Yu's face turned red. The two held the snake spear and fought hard, almost indistinguishable from each other.
"Third brother, you're wrong..."
Before Guan Yu finished speaking, Zhou Cang had already carried it to his feet, "Don't hurt my lord, General Guan, your knife..."
Zhang Fei suddenly exerted force to break free from Guan Yu, lifted the snake spear and ran directly towards Zhou Cang.
Seeing this, Zhou Cang lifted his knife to block it, but Zhang Feima quickly stabbed the snake spear like lightning.
"Third brother, don't..."
"Three generals, show mercy..."
In the flash of lightning, Guan Yu and Lan Tian who arrived shouted at the same time. Zhang Fei suddenly withdrew the snake spear. Although Zhou Cang was not afraid of death, he was also frightened and sweated coldly on his back.
He is also a black-faced man, obviously this guy is stronger immediately.
When Zhang Fei saw Lan Tian, he was stunned. When he recalled that Guan Yu did not bring any weapons at all, he said coldly: "Lan Ziyu, did you also surrender to Cao Thief like him?"
"The third general misunderstood. General Guan escorted us to find our brother-in-law..." Lan Tian said, pointing to the carriage behind.
Zhang Fei looked around and saw two women standing next to the carriage.
Just as Zhang Fei was hesitating, another team of people chased him out in the city.
The two leaders were riding white horses, one of whom was white robe and silver armor, and the other was Liu Bei, who had been missing for a long time.
"Second brother? Ziyu?" Liu Bei was overjoyed to see the two of them.
When Guan Yu saw Liu Bei, he immediately got off the horse and said, "In order to protect his two sisters-in-law, Guan Yu had to temporarily stay in Cao's camp. Please forgive me..."
Liu Bei helped Guan Yu up with both hands and said, "My second brother is a human being, how can I doubt each other? Get up quickly."
Then the three of them hugged each other and cried and then laughed. Seeing this, the white robe walked to Lantian and bowed, "I'm here Zhao Yun, how can I ask the sir..."
"Lantian, Lanziyu."
Zhao Yunshen bowed and said, "It's Mr. Ziyu, Yun Chang heard the lord's words."
"General Zilong is polite." Lantian replied.
After Liu, Guan and Zhang hugged each other briefly, Liu Bei walked away embarrassedly and said, "Since you two have met, I will not introduce you, Ziyu, let's talk in the city?"
"Well, please come with Sister and the others." When Lantian spoke, his entourage was already escorting the carriage to come here.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu were at the forefront of the team, and he seemed to be intentionally avoiding Lantian.
Lantian and Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun followed him, and Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Zilong, you are so lucky now. Lan Ziyu's cooking skills are the best in the world. My wife can't even compare to his finger."
Zhang Fei's wife, Lan Tian, was confused. She hadn't seen this guy begging for a wife in Xuzhou.
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Then let Yun have a good time."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Lan Tian thought to himself that Zhang Fei had married a wife, but his cute personality still did not change.
When they entered Yichun City, Liu Bei led Guan Yu, Lantian to meet with Gongdu, Jian Yong and other old teams, and many of them were moved and crying.
After a brief greeting, Liu Bei asked everyone to disperse, and asked Jian Yong and Sun Qian to prepare for a reception banquet, leaving Guan Zhang and Lantian behind.
Chen Dao took the door to the door according to the signal. Liu Bei suddenly bowed to Lan Tianshen and said, "I regret not listening to Ziyu's words, so that Xuzhou failed, causing you and Yun Chang to fall into Xudu. In fact, I have the last resort. I hope Ziyu forgives it."
"Brother, why are you giving this kid a big gift?" Zhang Fei asked in confusion.
"Third brother, shut up." Liu Bei (Guan Yu) shouted at the same time.
Zhang Fei was so scolded that he was stunned.
Lan Tian bowed and said modestly: "I was talking nonsense at that time, but my brother-in-law didn't blame him, and he was already very generous."
Liu Bei raised his neck and sighed, "Bei fled to the Yellow Turbans and ran among the princes. Now he is over 10 years old, but he has accomplished nothing. I have been thinking about it and I lack a mastermind.
Ziyu, you have a profound strategy and are willing to worship you as your military advisor. I hope you will not be sad about your past grudges and help me with your help. Let us help the Han Dynasty together, save the people from water and fire, and leave a good reputation in history..."
"Military advisor?" Lan Tian shook his head violently when he heard this.
"Is it possible that Ziyu is still annoyed me as a wise man?" Liu Bei said in confusion.
Lan Tian smiled bitterly and said, "I wouldn't be willing to take up the position of military advisor. I am really not capable of it. My little strategies are not enough to help my brother-in-law fight for the world."
"Ziyu should not be too humble. You have the power of ghosts and gods. Guan has experienced it many times." Guan Yu said seriously.
"If Ziyu feels not prepared enough, I will fast and bathe tomorrow, just like the way Gaozu worships Han Xin," Liu Bei added.
Lantian bowed and said, "I have remembered the sincerity of the lord. The so-called "knowing people and using them well is the king's way. Others will take up the position of military advisor in the future. I don't understand military affairs but am good at farming. I can help you farm in the farming process."
"Lan Ziyu, why can't you always get along with farming? It's only awesome to be a military advisor." Zhang Fei said in confusion.
"If the lord is willing to conquer the world, I have a nine-character mantra here to send you." Lan Tian ignored Zhang Fei and continued.
"Nine-character mantra?" Liu Guanzhang looked curious.
Lantian said seriously: "Build high walls, accumulate grain, and be king slowly."
