So Guan Yu told Cao Cao what his sister-in-law dreamed and said, "My two sister-in-law cried on the ground because they missed their elder brother too much, so I was in a bad mood." Cao Cao smiled and comforted Guan Yu, and asked someone to find some
Drinking and toasting frequently.
Guan Yu was a little drunk, and put his beard up and said, "I can't serve the country and betray my brothers. I am really unworthy of being a human being!"
Cao Cao looked at Guan Yu's beard and asked, "Your hair is very strange. Do you know the number?"
Guan Yu said: "There are about hundreds of them, and they will be less in autumn. They will be filled with soap yarn in winter so that they can prevent them from breaking."
So Cao Cao used gauze cotton to protect Guan Yu's beard and comforted him.
On the second day, I went to see Emperor Xian when I saw Guan Yu's beard wrapped in a bag and asked about the situation.
Guan Yu then proclaimed: "My beard is very long, and the Prime Minister gave me a gift bag to wrap it."
Emperor Xian spread it open and found that the length had exceeded his lower abdomen. Emperor Xian said, "You are so beautiful and bearded."
After that, Guan Yu had another name, called "Beautiful Bearded Gong."
One day, Cao Cao invited Guan Yu to a banquet. After the banquet was gone, he personally sent Guan Yu away. Seeing that Guan Yu's war horse was very thin, he asked: "Why are your horse so thin?"
Guan Yu said: "My body is very heavy and I can't carry a horse, so I look very clean."
So Cao Cao asked a horse from left to right to lead over, and saw that the horse was like charcoal and looked very majestic.
Cao Cao smiled and pointed at the horse and said, "Don't you know this horse?"
Guan Yu still has an impression of this kind of horse. When the three heroes fought against Lu Bu, Lu Bu's mount was this horse, and he replied: "Is this Lu Bu's mount, the Red Rabbit Horse?"
Cao Cao nodded and said, "No, it's this horse!" After saying that, he handed the reins of the horse to Guan Yu, and Guan Yu bowed, calling it thanks.
However, Cao Cao was a little dissatisfied and said, "I have always given you money and beauty, but you have not thanked you. Now I have sent you a horse, but you have come to thank me instead. Is it because a man is not as noble as a horse?"
Guan Yu said: "I know this horse, he can travel thousands of miles a day, and now he is honored to have it. If he knows his brother's whereabouts, he would have seen it earlier."
Cao Cao felt a little regretful after hearing this, so Guan Yu resigned.
After Cao Cao left, he felt very regretful, so he found the matchmaker Zhang Liao and said, "You have also seen it. I am very good to Guan Yu, but he often expressed his feelings about leaving me. Why is this?
Woolen cloth?"
Zhang Liao was very surprised after hearing this. He did not expect that such an environment was not enough to change Guan Yu, so he said, "I don't know much about this, please let me know about it."
On the second day of the talk, Zhang Liao went to Guan Yu's mansion to visit him. When he saw someone, he saluted. Zhang Liao said, "I recommend you to Prime Minister Cao, I have never treated you badly, right?"
Guan Yu said: "I deeply feel the prime minister's kindness, but although my body is here, I am thinking of my brother in my heart and feel the past."
Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "Brother, this sentence is wrong. The importance of a real man is not a real man. Liu Bei is your eldest brother, but he may not be better to you than the prime minister. Why do you always miss the past?"
Guan Yu replied: "I certainly know that Cheng is good to me, but before that, I met Liu Bei and regarded him as my eldest brother. We live and die together and cannot betray our faith. I will definitely not stay here in the end.
But I will definitely repay the favors I have given to me and leave again.”
Zhang Liao sighed: "If Liu Bei has passed away, are you going to join the prime minister?"
Guan Yu said: "I don't know, either, I will step down!"
Only then did Zhang Liao realize that he didn't really know the friend in front of him, and knew that Guan Yu would never stay here, so he took his leave. After returning, he told Cao Cao everything about this matter. Cao Cao sighed after hearing this.
:: "For the sake of the master, you are really a righteous man in the world."
Xun Yu sneered: "I don't think it's true that he said he wanted to make meritorious service to the Prime Minister's kindness." Cao Cao just smiled awkwardly after hearing this.
With the recommendation of Yuan Shao's son, Liu Bei went directly to Yuan Shao, but he sighed and worried every day.
Yuan Shao was in a good mood, at least he had no worries at home for the time being, so he asked, "What's the sorrow of Xuande?"
Liu Bei said: "My second brother doesn't know what's going on. His wife, children, and children are arrested by Cao thieves. The superiors cannot serve the country and the subordinates cannot protect their families. How can we not be worried?"
Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Then you'll find the right person. I've actually wanted to join the army for a long time. Now the weather is just getting warmer, so you can use troops."
So they immediately called everyone to a meeting and discussed how to advance to Xudu.
Tian Feng and Yan Liang were also recalled by Yuan Shao, so Tian Feng did not go there again in the Daoxiang Village dungeon.
Hearing that Yuan Shao was preparing to raise troops, Tian Feng advised: "Before Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Xu was empty, but we did not send troops. Now Xuzhou has been occupied by Cao Cao. Cao Cao's soldiers are strong and cannot underestimate the enemy. I think it is his
Stalemate and wait until there is a new opportunity to send troops."
Yuan Shao thought about it, saw Liu Bei aside, and asked Liu Bei, "Tian Feng advised me to stick to it now, what do you think?"
Liu Bei said: "Cao Cao is a thief who deceives the king. If Ming Gong did not attack him, he would be in a stalemate. I think what the people in the world would think? I'm afraid they would lose the righteousness and it would be difficult to explain!"
When Yuan Shao heard this, he nodded immediately and said, "You are very reasonable." So he prepared to send troops.
After hearing this, Tian Feng immediately came out to stop him. Yuan Shao was furious and said, "You people only know how to show off your literary talent and despise force, which will make me lose justice!"
Tian Feng kowtowed and said, "If you don't listen to the good minister, you will definitely be unfavorable."
Yuan Shao was furious and sent someone to behead Tian Feng. Liu Bei came out to advise, so he was imprisoned in prison.
Ju Su knew that Tian Feng had been a little disastrous after he was imprisoned, so he united his clan, dispersed his family property, and said farewell to everyone: "I will go with the army. If I win, then I will succeed. If I fail, then
I will lose my guard!" Everyone said goodbye to him with tears in their eyes.
Yan Liang knew that Tian Feng was imprisoned and didn't understand, but as a warrior, he couldn't say too much. It just so happened that Yuan Shao sent himself as a general to attack the White Horse.
After Ju Su found out, he advised: "Yan Liang has a narrow-minded personality. Although he is brave, he cannot be the head coach."
Yuan Shao said: "He is our general in Hebei, how could you expect it?"
So the army headed to Liyang, and Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun, asked Xuchang for emergency.
