Yu Yi added: "My second brother will come here by then. We will assist Ming Gong together and avenge Yan Liang together. How about Wen Chou's hatred?"
Guan Yu was able to kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou in succession, and Yuan Shao was immediately overjoyed and said, "If I could be a general like Guan Yu, Wen Chou would be more than ten times stronger than Yan Liang."
Yu Yi and Liu Bei looked at each other and reached some tacit understanding.
So Liu Bei started writing secret letters when he went back that night, but the candidates for sending the letters were delayed.
Hesitated that Yan Liang and Wen Chou were beheaded one after another, and Yuan’s army had no fighting spirit. Yuan Shao had to let the army retreat to Wuyang, camp for dozens of miles, and remained silent.
Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun to lead troops to guard the Guandu Pass, while he brought his army back to Xudu to hold a banquet to celebrate, mainly to celebrate Guan Yu's contribution.
At the banquet, Cao Cao said to Lu Qian: "I asked the food and supplies to go first that day, and I personally led the army to follow me. That was actually a strategy to lure the enemy into depth, and only Xun Gongda knew what I wanted."
Everyone was admiring Cao Cao's wisdom and was drinking. Suddenly someone reported it, saying: "There are Yellow Turban bandits Liu Pi and Gong Du in Runan. The locality is very rampant. Cao Hong's several attacks have not had a good effect. I hope to send troops.
Go to reinforce.”
After hearing this, Guan Yu said, "I am willing to work hard to defeat the Yellow Turban bandits in Runan."
Cao Cao said: "You have just made great achievements. I haven't thanked you very much yet. How dare you trouble you to go on the battle again?"
Guan Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I am a person who is idle for a long time and I hope I can let me go."
So Cao Cao personally went strong and ordered 50,000 troops to Guan Yu, allowing Yu Jin and Le Jin to be the deputy general, and went the next day.
That night, Xun Yu found Cao Cao and said, "Guan Yu often feels like he is surrendering to Liu Bei. If he knew about Liu Bei's news, he would definitely leave. He can't let him take so many troops to fight."
Cao Cao said: "After he made a meritorious service this time, I will not let him face the enemy again."
Early the next morning, Guan Yu left Xudu with 50,000 troops and horses. When he was about to arrive in Runan, he set up camp.
There was an unexpected gain that night. He actually caught two fine works. Guan Yu asked someone to catch them and checked them carefully. He found that one of them was an acquaintance, which was Sun Qian.
Guan Yu quickly repelled his left and right, loosened Sun Qian himself, and asked, "Since that collapse, you have disappeared. Why are you here now?"
Sun Qian sighed, "That day, we were all dispersed by Cao Cao's army and fled. I happened to wander to Runan. Fortunately, Liu Pi was willing to take me in. Why did you surrender to him in Cao Cao's place? Then Mrs. Gan
Are you okay with Mrs. Mi?"
Guan Yu explained in detail how he made an agreement with Cao Cao, how to protect the two wives, and how to attack Yuan Shao.
Sun Qian said: "I recently got the news that Xuande Gong was at Yuan Shao's place. I was going to surrender, but I had no chance. Now Liu and Gong are preparing to surrender to Yuan Shao and attack Cao Cao together. God gives mercy to the general to come here.
So I specially sent me to walk on the path and let me act as a detailed work to report the situation to the general. In the second question, the general could pretend to be defeated by us, and then secretly took his two wives to Yuan Shao and resigned with Duke Xuande to Duke Xuande.
Meet."
Guan Yu thought for a moment and said, "Since my elder brother is in Yuan Shao's place, I will definitely go there overnight, but unfortunately, I killed two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were from Yuan Shao, and I am afraid that things will change now."
Sun Gan said: "What the general thinks makes sense. I will help the general to go to Yuan Shao to find out the situation, and then come back to report to the general."
Guan Yu nodded and said, "Now that I know the exact news about my brother, even if I risk my death, I will see you. Now I will return to Xuchang and say goodbye to Cao Cao."
That night, Sun Gan and Guan Yu talked about a lot of things. Guan Yu was even more happy to learn that his fourth brother Yu Yi was also by Liu Bei's side. He secretly sent Sun Gan out and sent someone to protect him.
On the second day, Guan Yu brought his troops out, and Gong Du came out to match. Guan Yu shouted: "Why do you betray the court?"
He replied: "You are a person who betrayed your lord, what qualifications do you have to blame us?"
Guan Yu said: "How can I say it's betrayal?"
Gong Du said: "The news about Liu Bei's presence in Yuan Shao is now very accurate, but you are still working hard here with Cao Cao. Didn't you betray the original master?"
Guan Yu was a little inappropriate and did not reply. He picked up the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and came up.
Gong Du knew that he was not an opponent, so he turned around and left. Guan Yu caught up. He turned around and told Guan Yu, "You must not forget the kindness of the lord in the past. You can advance quickly, and I will give up Runan immediately."
Through Sun Gan's early contact, Guan Yu had already understood the other party's intention, so he led the army to cover up the killing. The other party pretended to be beaten and dispersed one after another. The scene was very successful.
Guan Yu took Runan with almost no effort, appeased the local people, and immediately returned to Xudu with his troops.
Cao Cao personally went out of the city to greet the soldiers and rewarded the soldiers. When the banquet ended, Guan Yu immediately returned to his mansion and visited his two sisters-in-law late at night.
It just so happened that neither wife had a rest, and Mrs. Gan said, "Did you get news about Uncle Liu when you go to the battle this time?"
Guan Yu replied: "No!"
After Guan Yu left, both wives were in pain and sighed: "It must be that the emperor's uncle has died. The second uncle is afraid that we are too sad, so he never wants to tell us the truth."
The crying sounded loudly. An old army accompanied him heard the crying and told him in front of the door: "Two ladies, don't cry anymore. The lord is still alive now, right where Yuan Shao, Hebei."
The lady questioned, "Where did you know?"
The old army of the army said, "I often follow General Guan to fight and hear someone shouting in the battle."
The lady was dissatisfied and immediately summoned Guan Yu and rebuked: "Uncle the Emperor did not let you down. Now that you have received the favor of Cao Cao, you have done some ungrateful things and do not tell me the actual situation. What is the reason."
Guan Yu sighed and said, "My elder brother is indeed in Hebei, so I have only received the news. The reason why I dare not tell my two sister-in-law is because I am afraid of leaking the news. This matter requires a slow plan and cannot be too hasty. ”
Mrs. Gan said: "My uncle should take this matter to heart and seize the time to plan it."
After Guan Yu left, he thought about the way to leave, but could not calm down for a long time.
Yu Jin found out that Liu Bei was in Hebei and reported to Cao Cao, saying that the news was very clear this time.
Cao Cao still asked Zhang Liao to explore Guan Yu's intention. Guan Yu happened to sit down Zhang Liao and enter the congratulations, saying, "I heard about your elder brother's news, so I come to congratulate you!"
Guan Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I can't go to meet, what's the place to be happy about."
Zhang Liao asked: "Then now that you know the news, will you leave?"
