The words "eating the emperor's salary" sounded very harsh to Guan Yu, and he always felt that Liu Xin was insinuating something. Guan Yu was not stupid. Of course he knew that there was no "jun" to distribute salary and salary at all. His so-called surrender to the big man
, the food and salary were not given by the emperor, but by Liu Xin.
However, Guan Yu no longer cared about these things. He only frowned slightly and said, "Master Liu is loyal to the country. Guan admires him. Master Liu said last night that troops will be sent to Xuzhou in three days."
, Guan has something unclear and I would like to ask your Excellency."
Liu Xin smiled and said: "Liu has heard for a long time that Yunchang is a straightforward person. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Guan Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "I wonder what will happen to the families of those Xuzhou officials after the city of Xuzhou is destroyed?"
Liu Xin was secretly amused. As expected, Guan Yu asked about that, and she couldn't help but said sternly: "As long as they resist stubbornly, Liu won't mind implicating the nine tribes."
Guan Yu felt happy and continued to ask: "So, as long as they are willing to surrender, Lord Liu will forget about them?"
Liu Xin shook his head and said: "It depends on who it is. If he is as talented as Yun Chang, Liu will naturally welcome him. If he is a young man, then what is the use of Liu? Liu is not here.
Asylum.”
Although Guan Yu didn't understand what the shelter meant, he could guess that it must not be a good thing. However, Guan Yu still did not give up and continued: "There is a man named Qin Mingyi who is in charge of grain and grass in Xuzhou. It is precisely because of his proper arrangements that the grain shortage in Xuzhou
Can be relieved, I wonder if Mr. Liu thinks this person is worthy of use?"
Liu Xin secretly laughed. How could Qin Yi get food? Didn’t all the food come from him? However, these words cannot be said to Guan Yu. Liu Xin snorted coldly and said: "Qin Yi is here
Man, Liu has heard that Wu Wen has such ears, even if he takes the initiative to ask for surrender, Liu will not keep him."
Guan Yu's expression paused, and then he asked: "May I ask Mr. Liu, what will happen to Qin Yi's family members?"
Liu Xin's face sank and she said: "The family property was confiscated and put into the official position, and the family members were rewarded and made slaves of the meritorious officials. This is the law of the Han Dynasty. Why should I ask more? Yunchang does not need to intercede for him."
Guan Yu was silent for a long time and then resigned, which surprised Liu Xin. He originally thought that Guan Yu would ask him for Du Xiuniang next, but instead of thinking, Guan Yu chose to resign.
Such an accident did not take long. In the afternoon, Guan Yu came to ask for an audience again. He raised his hand and said: "Master Liu, I have something to ask of Guan. If Guan has made great contributions, can you ask Master Liu to give Qin Yi's family members to Guan?"
certain?"
Such words were indeed a bit difficult for Guan Yu, who was arrogant by nature, and he made a lot of determination before he came to ask Liu Xin again. After returning from Liu Xin's place in the morning, Guan Yu was really restless, especially when he saw Cao Hui
When I got the hosta on my head, I felt even more uncomfortable, and finally decided to put down my dignity and come see Liu Xin.
Liu Xin asked with surprised eyes: "Yun Chang, why are you so interested in Qin Yi's family? Oh, I understand. Your wife is pregnant, and Yun Chang must be alone and unable to sleep. Haha, haha, this feels like Liu
Someone has also experienced it. Men, it’s normal, very normal. In this way, Liu will let someone choose a few beauties to send to your house now, and I hope Yun Chang won’t refuse."
Cao Hui was considered a beauty, but Guan Yu still looked down upon her. It was not that he was not lustful, but that his requirements for "color" were too high. It was difficult for ordinary beauties to impress him, and Du Xiuniang was exactly the one who could impress Guan Yu.
one person.
Of course, Guan Yu would not tell Liu Xin his true thoughts. He said with some embarrassment: "I'm not afraid of Mr. Liu's ridicule. Guan has passed his thirties, and it's a pity that he has no sons. When he was in Xuzhou, Guan once heard
People say that Qin Yi’s wife is a good match for a man, so Guan dared to ask her for her shamelessly.”
Although she had expected that Guan Yu would do this, Liu Xin still despised him in her heart. Not to mention that Guan Yu's first wife Hu had already given birth to Guan Ping for him. Speaking of Cao Hui alone, now
She is also pregnant. Who can be sure that she is not pregnant with a boy? If she likes someone else's wife, just say so. Why are you trying to pretend to be noble and arrogant here? What nonsense are you looking for? It's really evil to be close to the ink. I have been following Liu Bei for a long time.
Even Guan Yu learned to be hypocritical.
Liu Xin also would not speak out his inner thoughts. He lowered his head and thought deeply for a moment, then said: "This is not a big deal. Liu just promises you."
In the evening, Liu Xin once again hosted a banquet for Guan Yu. After just two glasses of wine, Guan Yu walked up to Liu Xin, raised his hands and said, "Guan has a drink for Mr. Liu. Please don't forget the promise you made to Guan today."
"
This was the first time in two days that Guan Yu took the initiative to propose a toast. Liu Xin laughed, drank all the wine in the glass, and said: "Liu is not an unfaithful person. He will fulfill his promise to Yunchang. Yunchang can rest assured."
Guan Yu was indeed full of joy and drank happily. After some drinking and drinking, he was drunk again. Probably because he drank too much, Guan Yu reminded Liu Xin three times at the table, asking him not to forget what he had promised him, because he was about to go to war.
, so there was no banquet arranged the next day. However, in the evening, Guan Yu came to ask to see Liu Xin again and reminded Liu Xin of the incident. Liu Xin naturally agreed, but was secretly amused in her heart.
This Guan Yu is really long-winded. It seems that historically it was because he mentioned Du Xiuniang in front of Cao Cao that Cao Cao became curious and finally took Du Xiuniang into his possession. Now, he repeatedly mentioned in front of Liu Xin how not to call her Liu Xin.
Xin was funny. In fact, what Liu Xin didn't know was that it was precisely because Guan Yu repeatedly mentioned Du Xiuniang in front of Liu Bei that Liu Bei's attention was drawn to her and he got there first.
Another day, Liu Xin gathered all the generals and prepared to send out troops. Guan Yu was the first to go out and said: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard!"
Liu Xin understood that Guan Yu was eager to make meritorious deeds, so she couldn't help but laugh. Just as she was about to agree, she saw Jushou secretly waving his hand towards him.
Liu Xin was also very clear about what Jushou meant. He was worried that Guan Yu was not sincere in his surrender and wanted to use this as a way to escape. What's more, the person they were going to attack this time was Liu Bei, who was Guan Yu's most respected eldest brother. Who knew what would happen?
What about the matter? According to Jushou's opinion, it is best to leave Guan Yu in Guangling.
Liu Xin was not afraid of Ju Shou's worries. He now understood that the reason why Guan Yu readily agreed to be loyal to the Han was simply because Cao Hui was pregnant. As long as Cao Hui was firmly under control, there was no need to
I was worried that Guan Yu would do something extraordinary, not to mention that Guan Yu was eager to make meritorious deeds so that Liu Xin could reward him with Du Xiuniang.
Liu Xin waved her hand and said, "Yun Chang, let me show you something first."
Several personal guards laboriously carried a pile of jade slips and gently placed them in front of Guan Yu.
Guan Yu looked at Liu Xin blankly and asked, "Master Liu, what is this?"
Liu Xin said sternly: "These jade volumes are the royal family tree. After Liu Bei succeeded King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, had more than 120 sons, and their sons gave birth to grandsons, and their grandsons gave birth to sons, and they reproduced from generation to generation.
The records are clear, but there is no Liu Bei. These genealogies are revised once every five years and once every ten years. Each volume is numbered, so it is absolutely impossible to falsify it."
Historically, Liu Bei was able to finally obtain the status of imperial uncle, in fact, he should thank Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo had not burned Dongguan, Luoyang, and burned all the royal genealogy and those classics, Liu Bei's status as a Han clan clan member would have been lost sooner or later.
Being exposed. In addition to Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei should also thank Liu Xie. If Liu Xie had not become Cao Cao's puppet and was eager to find a few powerful foreign aids, he would not be so eager to admit Liu Bei's identity as the emperor's uncle. At that time, Liu Xie recognized
It can be said that Liu Bei, the emperor's uncle, takes what he needs.
The situation has changed now. Liu Xin has preserved the royal genealogy, but there is no record about Liu Bei in the genealogy. Liu Xin easily exposed Liu Bei's lies. Even if Liu Xie now jumps out and recognizes Liu Bei as the emperor's uncle, it will not matter.
It's possible.
Guan Yu's face changed slightly, but he already had a red face, and it was not easy for others to notice. He has always respected Liu Bei. In addition to Liu Bei's virtue, there are two important reasons. One is Liu Bei's words: "
"Brothers are like brothers and sisters, wives are like clothes." Another famous saying is Liu Bei's status as a Han clan member. No matter how poor Liu Bei is, his Han clan status is a symbol of nobility.
Liu Bei threw his "brothers and feet" to Guangling for other people's "clothes". That famous saying has long been self-defeating. Now, the evidence that overthrows Liu Bei's noble status is before his eyes. Liu Bei's glorious image in Guan Yu's mind has finally begun.
Subverted.
Others could not see the change in Guan Yu's face, but Liu Xin knew it clearly. He remained calm and continued: "Yun Chang, I know that you and Liu Bei have a brotherhood. But Liu Bei who pretends to be a relative of the emperor is punishable by death.
.I tell you this just to prove that Liu Bei is a hypocrite. I sent troops to Xuzhou this time, and my troops have a good reputation!"
Guan Yu wanted to refute Liu Bei's conclusion that he was a hypocrite, but found that he could not find any suitable reason at all. He opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
Seeing this, Liu Xin became more confident in subduing Guan Yu. He raised his hand and ordered: "Come here!"
A guard heard the sound and stepped forward, holding a brocade robe in his hand.
Liu Xin took the brocade robe with her hand, walked to Guan Yu, shook the brocade robe open with a "hurrah", gently put it on Guan Yu, and said solemnly: "Yun Chang, it's you who are going on this expedition."
It is your first time to lead the Han army in battle, and I will give you this hundred-flowers jersey. I wish you success and success!"
Guan Yu was still entangled and did not react for a moment. When Liu Xin put the brocade robe on him, he was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal and said happily: "Master Liu, you agreed to let Guan Yu
Is someone serving as a pioneer?"
Liu Xin smiled and shook his head, and said: "This attack on Xuzhou, Liu is determined to win. The troops are divided into five groups, marching together without any vanguard. Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Taishi Ci, each of you will lead an army.
Together with Zhang Ren's troops, there are five groups in total. They must arrive outside Xuzhou City before dawn tomorrow."
The fourth general Liu Sheng agreed. Guan Yu was a little anxious and said loudly: "Master Liu, what about me?"
