Liu Xin looked at Guan Yu with surprise. Historically, Cao Cao treated Guan Yu with a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days. He raised gold when he got on his horse, and silver when he got off his horse. He even gave Guan Yu a red horse that could climb mountains and wade like walking on the ground. Even though he wanted to be with him, he failed to make him return to his heart. Now, he just responded to his request and rewarded Du Xiuniang to him, and he suddenly called himself "Lord". Liu Xin couldn't help but doubt her judgment yesterday. That The beautiful Du Xiuniang may have been born in a humble background, and her behavior lacked an inherent temperament and charm, but she might have had some unique charm.
Seeing Liu Xin's astonished expression, Guan Yu cupped his hands again and said: "The last general asked Sun Qian yesterday that Liu Bei has led his army to defect to Yuan Shu. The last general is willing to lead an elite army to catch up, capture Liu Bei alive, and offer him to Yuan Shu." In my lord’s account, please grant me your permission!”
Liu Xin was even more surprised. The power of beautiful women was indeed extraordinary. In just one night, Guan Yu and Liu Bei completely broke up! You know, even after hearing that Liu Bei slept with Du Xiuniang, Guan Yu never called Liu Bei by his name. , even if he promised to serve the Han Dynasty and was ordered to set up an ambush to capture Liu Bei, he still called Liu Bei his eldest brother in front of Liu Xin. Now, Guan Yu not only called Liu Bei by his name, but also added the word "that guy", which made Liu Xin Xin couldn't adapt to it for a while.
Seeing these changes in Guan Yu, Liu Xin was surprised and a little happy. Yes, she was happy rather than regretful. If Liu Xin had been like Liu Bei or Cao Cao in history, he was greedy for Du Xiuniang's beauty and took Du Xiuniang as his own. Yes, it is certain that Guan Yu not only will not surrender, but will also hold a grudge. Although many of Liu Xin's generals are on par with Guan Yu in martial arts, they can defeat Guan Yu with their cooperation or by using wheel tactics, but It is quite difficult to take Guan Yu's life. He may escape at any time. If Guan Yu cannot be killed, he will have to be on guard against him. It is always a headache for such a master to keep an eye on him.
In fact, Liu Xin's judgment yesterday was not wrong. Apart from her natural beauty, Du Xiuniang has no other advantages. She can neither recite poems or compose poems, nor can she sing or dance. She is not even good at needlework. But Du Xiuniang also has the same advantage. She is submissive and will not resist no matter which man she falls into.
Yesterday, Liu Xin specially asked Diao Chan to dress up Du Xiuniang and Cao Hui. Diao Chan is not only a good dancer, she is also a master in this aspect. After dressing up by herself, Cao Hui and Du Xiuniang are better than before. They are still gorgeous. So when Guan Yu saw these two women for the first time, his eyes were straightened, especially the hostas stuck in their heads respectively. They were getting together as a pair, but Shopkeeper Song agreed. That sentence, separation and reunification are all fate, which makes Guan Yu feel like he is in a dream.
It was the first time for Cao Hui to see Du Xiuniang, and she was shocked by her beauty. She felt a little ashamed of herself. However, under Diao Chan's guidance, the two women soon began to treat each other as sisters, and they were very harmonious. Because Cao Huihuai Guan Yu was pregnant, so it was natural for Du Xiuniang to accompany Guan Yu, which happened to save some embarrassment.
Du Xiuniang knew that she was a weak woman with a humble background. She did not want to compete with Cao Hui, a young lady from an aristocratic family. She was used to being submissive anyway, so there was no difference between a wife and a concubine to her. For Guan Yu, Du Xiuniang even flattered her. .In her eyes, whether it was Qin Yi, Lu Bu, Liu Bei in the past, or Guan Yu now, as long as he fell in love with her, what could she do except endure it with all her strength?
Guan Yu was filled with joy when he saw Du Xiuniang behaved very docilely. Needless to say, the lingering night. When Guan Yu held the soft and boneless Du Xiuniang in his arms and played with the white flesh on her chest wantonly, he finally endured it.
He couldn't help but ask about the matter between Liu Bei and Du Xiuniang, because this was a heart problem of Guan Yu's and he had always been worried about it.
Although these things were a bit unspeakable, Du Xiuniang did not dare to hide anything from Guan Yu. Starting from the first time Liu Bei entered her room, she even told Guan Yu about Liu Bei's almost perverted hobbies. After hearing this,
Guan Yu was furious. It was only then that he finally understood the true face of that hypocritical elder brother. On the contrary, Liu Xin, the legendary lecher, was not tempted by Du Xiuniang's beauty, and even let his
The lady dressed up Du Xiuniang carefully and gave him a reward. In fact, Liu Xin had every reason to take Du Xiuniang as his own, because he, Guan Yu, had not completed the task assigned to him by Liu Xin and had refused to call him
He is the lord.
Comparing the two, Guan Yu suddenly discovered that the moral character of Liu Xin, whom he despised from the bottom of his heart, was many times nobler than that of his elder brother whom he respected. This is how Guan Yu took the initiative to ask to see Liu Xin today, and, out of the
Out of hatred for Liu Bei, Guan Yu also asked to lead troops to pursue Liu Bei.
Of course, Liu Xin didn't know that there were many twists and turns in it. He just lamented that he had used Du Xiuniang to make Guan Yu willing to serve.
Yesterday, Liu Xin was eager to express his attitude to the noble families in Xuzhou and ordered Sun Qian to be beheaded without interrogation. Therefore, he did not know that Liu Bei was going to defect to Yuan Shu. According to the information Liu Xin had, Yuan Shu looked down on the mat weavers very much.
Liu Bei made a living by walking, so Liu Xin was also very shocked when he heard the news.
However, Liu Xin quickly understood that Liu Bei had no choice but to take this step. It is certain that Liu Bei was only temporarily looking for a place to stay with Yuan Shu. As long as there was a chance, Liu Bei would find another one, and even
There is no telling whether he will try to replace Yuan Shu.
Since Liu Bei and Yuan Shu cannot be of the same mind, there is no need for Liu Xin to send troops to pursue him at this time. Wouldn't it be better to leave him and Yuan Shu to fight in the nest? Thinking of this, Liu Xin waved his hand and said: "If a person has no faith, Liu Xin will not stand.
I have promised Yuan Shu not to use troops against him for the time being. Since Liu Bei has defected to Yuan Shu, Liu must not break his promise and let him go."
Guan Yu didn't know that Liu Xin's plan was to use troops against Jiaozhou and Liu Yao first. Now, he only had hatred for Liu Bei in his heart. Hearing that Liu Xin didn't want to use troops, Guan Yu became a little anxious.
Lord, I have one more important thing to report."
Liu Xin knew very well that Guan Yu was once the person Liu Bei trusted the most. He must have mastered many of Liu Bei's secrets. Since Guan Yu said it was an important matter, it must be a big deal. She couldn't help but asked in a deep voice: "Why is it so important?"
thing?"
Guan Yu leaned forward and said: "Go back to my lord, the imperial seal is now in Liu Bei's hands!"
Liu Xin was not surprised when he heard the news. As early as when he was in Luoyang, Liu Xin knew that the imperial seal fell into the hands of Sun Jian. Since Sun Jian was killed in an attack in Xuzhou, the whereabouts of the imperial seal had been lost.
According to the information obtained by Phantom, there were three people who participated in the ambush of Sun Jian: Tao Qian, Kong Rong, and Liu Bei. Among these three people, Kong Rong's territory had been annexed by Cao Cao, and he himself was moved to Puyang by Cao Cao and appointed
An official position with a name but no real power. Kong Rong was an upright person. If the imperial seal was in his hands, he would definitely hand it over to Liu Xie, the puppet emperor. As for Tao Qian, everyone else is dead.
What's the use of still keeping the jade seal? Moreover, Tao Qian's position as Zhoumu has been taken over by Liu Bei. Therefore, no matter from which aspect, this jade seal passed down from the country must have fallen into Liu Bei's hands.
Although Liu Xin couldn't understand why Guan Yu was so eager to kill Liu Bei, he had his own plans and would not change them easily for Guan Yu. Liu Xin glanced at Guan Yu and said lightly: "The Jade Seal of the State is indeed
It is an important weapon of the country, but not everyone can own it. If you force yourself to possess it, you will only get into trouble. Yun Chang, you don’t have to worry about this matter. Liu Bei will suffer retribution sooner or later if he seizes the national treasure. But before the time comes, let him
He can dance for a few more days."
Looking at all the princes in the world, Liu Xin is the most powerful, and as a member of the Han Dynasty, he has been ordered by the Empress Dowager He to temporarily take charge of the government. It can be said that he is only one step away from the throne of the emperor. Guan Yu is very aware of these situations. After learning that
Liu Xin was still able to behave so calmly despite the fact that the imperial seal was missing. Liu Xin's status in Guan Yu's mind couldn't help but be a little higher.
Although Guan Yu is arrogant and self-willed by nature, ordinary people don't look down on him. But he has a characteristic. As long as he respects someone, he will obey that person's orders unconditionally, just like he did to Liu Bei.
.And now, Liu Xin is a person that Guan Yu admires. Knowing that Liu Xin will not use troops against Yuan Shu for the time being, Guan Yu no longer insists on pursuing Liu Bei. He quickly handed over his hands and said: "In this case, I will retire first."
"Wait." Liu Xin raised her hand and said, "Yun Chang, although I don't know what happened between you and Liu Bei, but people have to look forward and let the past go by. Don't always carry it back.
Carrying the baggage, we must learn to start a new life.”
These words were very serious and sincere. Even Liu Bei had never had such a heart-to-heart talk with him before. Guan Yu couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Suddenly, Jushou came in with a document. When he saw Guan Yu standing here, he stopped talking.
Liu Xin smiled and said: "My lord, Yun Chang is no longer an outsider. If you have anything to say, just tell him. There is no need to hide it from him."
Guan Yu was even more moved, and he raised his hands and said: "My lord..."
Liu Xin waved her hand and did not let Guan Yu continue talking.
When Jushou heard that Guan Yu actually called Liu Xin his lord, he was startled and immediately laughed. However, his smile also flashed past, and his face turned worried again. He presented the document in his hand to Liu Xin and said:
"My lord, please see, Yuan Shu can't sit still anymore. He has sent troops to Jiujiang a few days ago."
Liu Xin's face also became solemn. If Liu Xin hadn't suddenly learned the secret of Liu Bei's stay in Qin Yi's home, and Liu Xin wanted to make full use of the rift between Liu Bei and Guan Yu, then his army should have taken advantage of it more than a month ago.
He went to Jiujiang and Danyang counties. Now, Yuan Shu actually beat him to attack Liu Yao.
