Chapter 26 surrender Guan Yu

It may be that he subconsciously sensed that the situation had changed, and Guan Yu felt uneasy. Liu Bei has been away from Xiapi for more than ten days. Regardless of whether his recruitment is successful or not, he should send someone back to pass the news.But Chang Ba, Xu He and others all had reports, but they didn't hear about Xiao Pei's situation, and even Jian Yong and Xue Yong, who ran errands on a daily basis, never came.Guan Yu has also experienced changes for a long time, so he naturally considered that Xiaopei had trouble, but even if there was any mistake, why didn't Liu Bei withdraw?Guan Yu couldn't figure it out, and wanted to raise troops westward to meet Xiaopei. First, it would be difficult to gain momentum with a small number of soldiers in Xiapi, second, it would be difficult to recover if the city was abandoned, and third, Liu Bei's family members were still in Xiapi!

It has been sixteen years since Liu Bei raised his army. In the past sixteen years, he has fought for the Yellow Turban, fought against Zhang Chun, voted for Gongsun, Yi Tiankai, rescued Kong Rong, helped Tao Qian, followed Lu Bu, surrendered to Cao Cao, married Yuan Shao, fought south and north Blocking from east to west, killing from east to west, wandering around in a thousand turns, the original wife has long since died of chaos, and now only one wife and one concubine live in Xiapi.The main wife, Mi Shi, is the younger sister of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, married in Xuzhou, and has given birth to two daughters, both under five years old. The concubine, Gan Shi, is the niece of Tao Qian's wife, Gan Shi.Even these two wives did not enjoy a few days of happiness with Liu Bei. When Xiaopei fell, he was a prisoner in Lu Bu's hands for half a year.Now that it’s hard to escape Cao Cao’s control, if Guan Yu advances his troops to the west and the two wives make a mistake on the way, how will they explain it to Liu Bei?

After two days of hesitation, a scout came to report that Cao Jun's brigade came from the east. Guan Yu's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Xiao Pei had fallen, and his master had fled to nowhere.Now that things are up to him, he would rather live and die with Xiapi than for the ruins, so he ordered the deputy general Xia Houbo to lead his own soldiers to protect the two wives. Observe whether there is any sign of Liu Bei. Guan Yu came to the top of the White Gate Tower and looked around. As far as he could see, there were black and dense Cao soldiers, with banners and banners lined up with bright armor. There were at least four or five thousand people, and Cao Cao's Sikong banner stood impressively among them.There are no more than a thousand defenders in Xiapi City, most of whom are untrained miscellaneous soldiers. The result of this battle will be known without fighting.Guan Yunchang held the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand, and was ready to kill the fish and the net, but after waiting for half an hour, Cao Jun not only did not attack the city, but retreated to the south noisily.

The brigade of Cao soldiers crossed Surabaya and gathered in the mountains to the south, leaving only about 2,000 soldiers blocked at the south gate to continue clamoring for a fight.Guan Yu watched carefully with his hands on the female wall. Some soldiers held high the banner with the word "Wu". Supervisor Wu Bonan!Guan Yu was very surprised. He expected that Cao Cao would use his troops well. How could he send Wu Zhou, a literati, to oversee the army to ask for a battle today? There must be something wrong in the army. Just as I was surprised, I heard the shouts of killing from the south. Looking from the top of the city, there was smoke and dust billowing in the mountain depression, and the flags were faintly coming and going, as if a battle had started.Half an hour later, more than ten riders came galloping from the Sishui Bridge and shouted at the soldiers besieging the city: "We have won! We have won! Jian Yong and Xue Yong have been captured."

Could it be that Liu Bei was defeated so far?Then why didn't you enter Xiapi and asked Cao Jun to take the lead?Guan Yu was dubious, he knew that Cao Cao was treacherous and cunning, and the scouts yelled loudly, which might not be a way to lure the enemy, but he still couldn't help but feel worried.In a blink of an eye, the sky turned dark, the shouts of killing from the south continued, and Wu Zhou's troops also began to attack the city with arrows, but the arrows were sparse, and the city wall of Xiapi was so high that they could hardly hit the gate tower.Guan Yu commanded the defenders to counterattack perfunctorily, but most of his mind was moving south.Suddenly, the sound of shouting and killing became more and more intense, and a group of men and horses came out from the mountain depression, flying a big banner with the word "Liu" on the red and white border.Guan Yu was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder split apart—isn't that the righteous brother Liu Bei?But seeing Cao Bing flaunting their might and chasing after him, Liu Bei's small group of troops retreated steadily and the situation was in danger. They had been driven up a mountain and gradually sank into the dense forest.Cao Jun lined up and surrounded the hills, attacking with all his spears, halberds, bows and arrows.At the same time, the Cao army outside Xiapi City was also attacking more and more urgently. Wu Zhou waved his command flag left and right, and shot arrows at Baimenlou, as if deliberately preventing Guan Yu from going out of the city to rescue.At this time, Guan Yu couldn't help but not believe it. How could he not save Liu Bei when he saw that he was in trouble?He hurriedly ordered someone to summon the deputy general Xia Houbo, entrusted him with the task of defending the city, and ordered 200 young elites to go out to the south gate for rescue.

The moat of Xiapi had been dug out by Yuan Min. As soon as the city gate was opened and the suspension bridge was lowered, Guan Yunchang swung the Qinglong Yanyue Saber and urged the horses to step out first, and all the small schools followed closely like wolves and tigers.Cao Bing was busy shooting arrows upward, when soldiers and horses rushed out unexpectedly, he panicked.Wu Zhoujie, a scribe, was completely incapable of fighting, so he threw the command flag and ran away.The commander-in-chief has slipped away, how can those soldiers still have the will to fight?In an instant, the situation was chaotic, the bows and crossbows were thrown all over the ground, and the two thousand soldiers scattered in a panic.Guan Yu took advantage of the situation to kill, rushed left and right, dispersed all Cao soldiers, covered Xia Houbo, closed the city gate and closed the suspension bridge, and then led two hundred small schools to rush south.

Thirsty and thirsty, I crossed the Sishui Bridge, and felt the deafening noise of people in the front of the earth mountain. Cao Jun's banner and Liu Bei's banner were faintly chasing back and forth in the mountains and forests, and they continued to go farther and farther south.Seeing this situation, Guan Yu felt anxious, he must have been reluctantly supported by Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao and others, the Mi family's Kunzhong might not be safe, and Liu Bei's life was at stake.I also saw Cao Jun's momentum in Zhouza, Tushan Mountain, with swords and guns like ears of wheat and swords and halberds like hemp forests.Guan Yunchang sighed secretly: "I'm afraid today is the day when our sworn brothers will die!" He knew that he couldn't do it, and he lived up to the promise of dying on the same day in the same year.

"Life and death are in this battle, follow me!" Guan Yu yelled, swung the Yanyue knife and rushed into the enemy's formation, and the two hundred small boys also rushed towards the mountain with shouts.And Cao Bing was so numerous that he surrounded this small group of soldiers in the blink of an eye.Guan Yunchang was so eager to save his brother that he gave up his life and forgot to die. He wielded the Yanyue Saber like a god descending from the earth. He really faced death and met death. Cao Bing threw away his helmet and armor and shouted: "This red-faced man is the traitor Guan Yu, so good! Don't let him go!" Let him meet..." Several people yelled this one after another, and all the soldiers walked around Guan Yu timidly, and if they didn't come to fight, they would only attack the two hundred small schools.Guan Yu rushed forward without encountering a strong enemy, so he rushed down the mountain on his own, and when he looked back, only half of the people he brought out followed, and the rest were trapped in the formation.At this time, he couldn't control much, so he had to bite the bullet and charge up the mountain.

This earthy mountain is densely forested and the road is rugged. Fortunately, the slope is relatively gentle. In addition, the branches of the trees are bare in the early spring, so the enemy and the enemy can be regarded as clear.Guan Yu's war horse is really not bad, and climbing mountains and slopes is no problem, and he concentrates on charging forward.Many Cao soldiers held bows and arrows to block the way, but were scattered by Guan Yu, but more and more of his subordinates were injured.After killing another hour, the sky was already dark, but fortunately Liu Bei's banner was gradually within reach, and it was dangling among the forests not far away.

"Brother...little brother is here!" Guan Yu shouted loudly. I don't know whether Liu Bei was stunned or there were still enemy soldiers around him, but instead of approaching this side, he continued to run south.Seeing that the flag was within reach suddenly and far away, Guan Yu led his men and horses to continue chasing forward.After rushing one way after another, I don't know how many enemies were dispersed, and there were abandoned spears and broken halberds all over the ground, but they just couldn't catch up with Liu Bei.Gradually approaching Xu Shi, the setting sun fell on the hills, and the mountains and forests became darker and blurred. The flag had long since disappeared, and the shouts of killing had gradually stopped.Guan Yu had no choice but to continue walking in the dark. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt that the terrain was flat and the trees were thinning out—he had reached the top of the earth mountain.After failing to catch up with Liu Bei, Guan Yu and all the soldiers sighed unceasingly, looking around, there were dark trees all around.But at this time, the fog came up again, curling up gray, shrouding everything in mist, making it even more grotesque and eerie.

Where did my brother flee to?Has Cao Bing retreated?What to do now?Guan Yu's mind was blank, and he called the school to fetch flints and light a bonfire, and everyone got together to think about it slowly.Unexpectedly, just as the faint flames dispelled the mist, a soldier shouted sharply: "General! There is something over here." Guan Yu searched for the sound and came to the highest point of the mountain, but saw the "Liu" flag sticking upright among the rocks, with a burden underneath.Open it and see that it is a small jar of wine, a few pieces of beef, and a silk book with words written on it.Guan Yu squinted his phoenix eyes to look hard, and it read "General Guan has come out of the city so far, prepare a little wine and food to talk about his heart". "It's been tricked!" Guan Yu was suddenly struck by thunder, and when he looked at the flag again, he knew in his heart: Xiaopei has fallen into Cao Cao's hands, and his brother's flag has naturally been taken by him. The old thief used this flag to lure me out of the city !The elder brother is not here at all... Thinking of this, Guan Yu became more and more uneasy. Looking back at the soldiers who accompanied him, there were only twenty or thirty soldiers left. Shui Mi did not exhaust his energy—this is why Cao Cao was trapped on the mountain! Guan Yu shuddered, and immediately sent an order: "Everyone, keep quiet! Put out the bonfire quickly, so as not to leak traces!" After a slight commotion, darkness and silence returned to the mountain.Today there is not even a moon, and you can't see your fingers, and you can't hear people's voices. This mountain forest is so deep that it seems to have fallen into an ancient cave. Only the frightened jackdaw occasionally uttered a strange cry, and suddenly fell into a more gloomy atmosphere.Guan Yu let out a long sigh and sat down on the big bluestone. He couldn't help pulling out the saber from his waist about a foot away.But thinking of the unpredictable city of Xiapi, thinking of the two wives in the city, and thinking of Liu Bei who didn't know where he was, his heart trembled and he pushed the sword back... Just as I was in a trance, I suddenly saw a ball of torches flashing from the dark foothills in the south, slowly moving towards this side.The soldiers immediately became alert, and each took up their swords and guns, intending to make a final fight.Unexpectedly, the group of will-o'-the-wisps was not in a hurry or impatient, and slowly, Yoyo did not have the slightest sound of killing.After walking for about a moment, the flames gradually approached the top of the mountain, and only the sound of horseshoes was heard.Guan Yu held his breath and watched carefully, and saw four or five Cao soldiers slowly appearing from the darkness in the forest, surrounded by a cavalry, and the soft light reflected the man's broad forehead and big face - it was Zhang Liao who came. "Wen Yuan, it's you..." Guan Yu heaved a sigh of relief and signaled the soldiers to put down their weapons. "I've seen your bonfire a long time ago." Zhang Liao jumped off his horse, walked to Guan Yu's side, and sat down on the boulder casually, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. I'm stationed at Guandu, and you and Liu Bei intercept Yuan Shu. It's been half a year since we parted, and friends in this world always get together less and leave more!" "Yes, if there is no war, how nice it would be to hang around in one place..." After saying this, Guan Yu suddenly realized that something was wrong, and asked solemnly, "What are you here for?" "We are both friends and fellow countrymen, so I want to talk to you." Zhang Liao smiled brightly, "Where is the wine I left for you? Why don't you drink some?" "You led me up the mountain?!" Guan Yu stood up abruptly, his phoenix eyes widened and his brows furrowed tightly, his rosy face looked more rebellious under the light of the fire.He wanted to scold Zhang Liao a few words, but then he thought about it, he protected Cao Cao and I assisted Liu Bei, they were enemies of the two armies, so why should we complain about each being the master?Thinking of restraining his angry eyes so far, he sat down slowly, picked up the small jar of wine from the ground, removed the mud seal and took a couple of gulps.Zhang Liao didn't speak, just sat there quietly watching him drink.Guan Yu held the wine jar higher than his head, gulped down the wine, his chest heaved until he drank the last drop, stroked his beard and shouted: "Good wine!" Then he threw the wine jar on the ground, fell After smashing it into pieces, he picked up the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, "I've drunk the wine too, it's time to die!" "No fight, no fight," Zhang Liao waved his hand, "I didn't even bring a knife." Guan Yu saw that he had no fighting intentions on his playful face, and put away his sword: "Could it be that Wen Yuan is talking about Guan Mouhu?" "Yun Chang misunderstood." Zhang Liao shook his head, "In the past, thanks to the strength of my elder brother, my younger brother was able to submit to the imperial court. Today, my older brother is in trouble, how can my younger brother not save me?" "Hmph!" Guan Yu sneered, "So you're here to help me out?" Zhang Liao knew that he meant to be sarcastic, but patiently said: "Not really." "Don't fight me, don't talk about me, and don't help me. What are you doing here when the two armies are fighting?" "Little brother is here to save you." Guan Yu saw that he was prevaricating with these words again, so he said bluntly: "Why does Wenyuan hide it, isn't he just trying to persuade me to surrender? Let me tell you clearly that today's matter will not surrender until death. Since my brother broke with Cao Cao, Guan Yu I also swear to the death that I will not enter the Cao camp, I would rather be broken than broken! You don't have to waste time talking, so as not to hurt the friendship between you and me." "Hmph! What a bold tone." Zhang Liao stood up, with his hands on his hips, and said, "If you still call yourself a hero in the world, you just casually risk your life here..." "Don't talk too much!" Guan Yu interrupted him before he finished speaking, "A real man is dead, don't bend your knees and rebel. What kind of person is Guan, how can he do something unrighteous to his master?" At the beginning when he persuaded Zhang Liao to bow down to serve Cao, he said the same reason with his nose and eyes, but he ignored it when it was his turn.Zhang Liao was really angry, and shouted sharply: "Guan Yunchang, you are so conceited! It is obvious that Mr. Cao intended to save your life. Don't you know the virtues of those soldiers in the Pi? ?” "Even so, Guan can't surrender!" Guan Yu naturally knows the joints, but his feelings for Liu Bei are too deep. For more than ten years, he has shared the wind and rain, which is far beyond Cao Cao's reach. He left a bad impression.It's not that Guan Yu cared much about beauties, but he saw that Cao Cao was able to destroy his promise as a woman, sharing adversity and joy, and his face changed too quickly. He didn't know how many things he would do in the future! Seeing that he was determined, Zhang Liao waved to the soldiers.The soldiers understood, raised the torch and shook it three times.There was a deafening shout in the mountains, like the sky was turned upside down.Countless groups of torches were raised among the dark foothills in all directions, densely packed, like stars in the dark sky-this mountain has long been trapped by Cao Jun. Guan Yu slashed his sword: "Very good! I'm finally going to have a real relationship with Guan." Zhang Liao shook his head disdainfully, pointed to the north and said, "Open your eyes and take a good look." Looking along his finger, it was Xiapi City on the north bank of Surabaya, and he saw sparks and flags everywhere.Guan Yu was very annoyed when he saw it, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Has the Cao thief already breached the city?" "Where is the use of swords?" Zhang Liao sneered, "Yuan Min, who visited the river embankment, once built canals for the people of Xiapi, and the elders in the city are grateful for his kindness. Your soldiers are all locals. When they saw Yuan Min coming out to shout, they immediately killed you." Xiahoubo is tied up, and Xiapi City will be destroyed without attack!" Speaking of this, he deliberately added, "The two wives Mi and Gan have also been captured. But don't worry, Duke Cao has issued an order not to allow anyone People bother." Guan Yu beat his chest and stamped his feet: "God's will...God's will..." "It's not God's will, it's the will of the human heart!" Zhang Liao stared at him, "How about it, is this brother willing to surrender?" Guan Yu rested his beard and trembled slightly: "If I don't surrender, will Cao Cao be disadvantageous to the two ladies?" "Hmph! You have underestimated Mr. Cao too. Thinking back then, Lu Bu didn't hurt Liu Xuande's family, let alone Mr. Cao?" In Zhang Liao's own opinion, this was the case. Guan Yu was dubious, and he said in a daze for a long time, "Wen Yuan, do you consider me a friend?" "That's natural! Otherwise, why would I work so hard to find you?" "Brother Yu asked you something, can you tell the truth?" "But it's okay to ask!" Zhang Liao readily agreed. "I know that Xiaopei has fallen, how dare I ask if my elder brother is dead?" Zhang Liao was taken aback for a moment, never expecting Guan Yu to ask this.This matter is related to the military situation and cannot be disclosed casually, but he is of a righteous nature, and since he has agreed to tell him, he can only talk endlessly without saying anything, and said in a deep voice: "Before our army arrived at Xiaopei, Liu Xuande had already abandoned the city and fled. Xiapi is nowhere to be seen, so I don’t know where he fled.” Zhang Liao played a small game, deliberately not mentioning that he went to seek refuge with Yuan Shao, but how could such a small trick deceive Guan Yu? Guan Yunchang closed his phoenix eyes tightly, and there was a trace of pain on his face: "My brother is gone, my sister-in-law has lost her opponent, and brother Yu is in a tight siege, what face is there to live in the world?" Speaking of this, he sighed sadly, "Alas... Brother Xie Xian is full of kindness, you'd better go. When you are young, Brother Yu kills you down the mountain, and you will be clean if you fight a fish to death and break the net." "Clean?" Zhang Liao suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Won't the elder brother be ridiculed by the world for his words?" Guan Yu suddenly opened his eyes: "Brother Yu died for loyalty, An De laughed for the world?" "If you die today, you will be charged with three major crimes, don't you know?" Guan Yu also knew that he wanted to talk, but he couldn't help being curious: "Talk about it." Zhang Liao paced back and forth in front of him with his hands behind his back, talking eloquently: "At the beginning, my brother and Liu Shijun raised troops together, and the covenant brothers swore to live and die together." For Guan Yu's sake, Zhang Liao had to call Liu Bei the envoy, "Now Liu Bei If you make the king lose, you will die here, if one day you make the king come back and ask for your courageous help but can't get back, wouldn't you live up to the oath of the alliance? This is a crime!" Guan Yu seemed to nod his head: "It makes sense..." Seeing him admitting, Zhang Liao felt much relieved, and continued: "Liu Shijun entrusted his family to his brother, if brother dies in battle, the second wife of Mi Gan has nothing to rely on, and you have failed Liu Shijun's heavy support, the crime is two. " Guan Yu lowered his head silently, this problem is real. "This is the third one..." Zhang Liao sighed, "Brother is superb in martial arts, and also has a good knowledge of classics and history. He can't help the Han Dynasty to save the world from suffering, but he wants to go through fire and water to show his bravery! Yun Chang, the life of a hero is so short. Wouldn't it be better to die in anger? Have you let down all your ambitions? Listen to my younger brother's persuasion, and you surrender!" Guan Yu had persuaded Zhang Liao to say this at the beginning, but now he has moved it back intact, making Guan Yu dumbfounded, the red-faced man revealing melancholy, the phoenix eyes shining brightly, the silkworm eyebrows falling sadly, and the five beards fluttering in the wind.The two looked at each other in silence for a long time, and gradually felt that the shouts from all around stopped again, and the Cao Bing of the brigade did not rush forward after all.Guan Yu felt quite ashamed, and felt that the friendship between Zhang Liao and Cao Cao was deep now, so he lowered his voice and said, "If you want Guan to surrender...it's okay..." Zhang Liao secretly asked Huang Tian's ancestor to appear.He is a rough man from Bingzhou, and it is embarrassing enough to be able to make up such a big car talk. The hard work pays off, and the half-day hard work is finally not in vain. "However..." Guan Yu changed the subject, stroked his long beard and said, "Since Guan has committed three crimes, if you want me to surrender, I have to do three things. If Mr. Cao can comply, I will remove my armor immediately. If he refuses, I will I would rather suffer the three crimes and die." "As long as the elder brother says it, the younger brother will bear it." Guan Yu waved his hand: "Eunuch Cao must approve these three matters, how can you be the master?" Zhang Liao didn't want to let his success fall short, he patted his chest and said, "Since Mr. Cao allowed me to come, he entrusted this matter to my younger brother. It doesn't matter if you ask me anything. If my younger brother agrees, Mr. Cao will agree." "Oh? A word from a gentleman?" "A four-horse horse is hard to catch!" "That's good!" Guan Yu nodded, turning the Yanyue knife and inserting it deep into the ground, "This is the first one, Guan has sworn an oath with his righteous brother, and he has the ambition to restore the Han Dynasty and put the world under control, so I only surrendered the Emperor of Han and not Cao Cao. " "Hehehe..." Zhang Liao couldn't help laughing, "Why do I need to mention this matter? Brother, which country's Zhonglang general do I become? Yu Wenze, Le Wenqian, Xu Gongming, Zhu Wenbo, all of them are big men Your general, and your surname is not Cao, how can you be Duke Cao's private vassal?" Guan Yu nodded again and again, "As for the second matter, my brother-in-law's family also hopes that Mr. Cao will protect him more, and don't hurt the slightest." "It's not difficult, what about the third one?" "This is the third thing," Guan Yu Danfeng stared, "I was born as a minister of Liu Xuande, and died as a ghost of Liu Xuande. If you know the whereabouts of your brother-in-law, no matter how far away you are, you can resign immediately with your sister-in-law. stop!" "Ah?!" Startled Zhang Liao, he turned his head and thought to himself: Resign immediately after learning of Liu Bei's whereabouts. How is this different from being captured and released?Even if Duke Cao is magnanimous, he would never agree to such harsh conditions.If you don't agree, it's a trivial matter to lose my face, Guan Yunchang will die here tonight!It is difficult to be loyal if you do not do things well, and it is unrighteous to sit and watch your friends die.I, Zhang Liao, have been galloping for ten years and have a clear conscience, but today I am going to commit infidelity and injustice.Oh, Brother Yun, you are really embarrassing my little brother... "How is it? Brother, is there any difficulty?" Guan Yu asked urgently. "No, no." Zhang Liao said with a strong smile, "What are three trivial things? As long as brother is willing to surrender, all these requests will be granted." He has made up his mind, as long as Guan Yu is safe, we will talk about the future things slowly .At the beginning, he also devoted himself to Cao Ying with the heart of death, isn't he also willing to embarrass Duke Cao now?Just let time figure it out... "Isn't Mr. Cao in trouble?" "Grand Cao is thirsty for talent, so why talk about embarrassment?" "In that case..." Guan Yu stroked his long beard, gritted his molars and said, "Then thank you, brother, for your success!" Speaking of which, he still refused to mention Cao Cao. "You should thank Mr. Cao." Zhang Liao temporarily put aside all his worries, "Since my brother has surrendered, I have another gift entrusted by Mr. Cao to give to my brother." He walked to the soldiers and led the horse he rode. , "Brother, can you recognize this mount?" The light was dim and vague, and Guan Yu took a few steps forward to see clearly.This horse is eight feet high from the hoof to the back, and two feet from the head to the tail. It is as red as coal from top to bottom, without a single hair, and the leather is covered with golden bridle and silk thread. The Hissing Chitu Beast.Guan Yu was very surprised: "This is the number one BMW in the world, Duke Cao's favorite, how can Brother Yu accept it?" "Mr. Cao said that the Chitu horse should serve as the general Zhong Kuiyuan, so that he can defeat the enemy in the battle between the two armies. Now that the elder brother is attached, Chitu is just right for him." "How dare you dare..." Guan Yu hastily pushed back. "To be honest, my brother has been coveting this horse for a long time, but Mr. Cao just won't give it to him. It seems that the old man kept it for you. How can we refuse this kind of affection?" Zhang Liao put the rein in his hand. The matter has come to this point, but he can't evade it, holding the reins in his hands, Guan Yu is worried: Surrendering Cao Cao is an expedient measure, how could he know that he favors me so much.When a man is born in this world, he should know how to repay his kindness, and if I abandon him at the end of Cao Cao's kindness, I will be despised and scolded by others.It seems that if Guan wants to get rid of Cao Ying in the future, he still needs to make some contributions first!Thinking of this, he cupped his hands and said: "Guan is ashamed of his disrespect. Please tell Mr. Cao. Brother Yu should repay this kindness with meager efforts." "Such words of gratitude, brother, go and say it to Duke Cao in person." Zhang Liao held his hand tightly and said with a smile, "From now on, you and I will drive side by side, it's great." Guan Yu felt quite uncomfortable, so he said: "Brother Yu is concerned about the two sisters-in-law, and asked my brother to take me down the mountain so that I can visit and plead guilty." "Okay, okay, Mr. Cao has been waiting at the bridge of Sishui for a long time, let's go quickly." After speaking, the two of them had their own thoughts and led the soldiers down the hill... In any case, Cao Cao was very excited about Guan Yu's surrender. He finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish to subdue Guan Yu and Zhang Liao, and immediately named Guan Yu as partial general and Zhang Liao as benevolent general.He not only handed over the Xiapi soldiers to his commander, but also sent a lot of food, clothing and belongings to Liu Bei's family. Wu Zhou, the army in prison, temporarily acted as Xiapi county magistrate to deal with the aftermath, and led the army northward to attack Changba. Chang Ba had been besieged by Wu Dun, Yin Li, Sun Kang, Xia Houyuan, etc., and heard that Cao Cao had come in person, and he was not an opponent, so he immediately surrendered.Cao Cao thought that his influence in Xuzhou had not been further studied, so he continued to command the old troops and assist Zang Ba in the campaign.After completing these major events, the Xuzhou Rebellion was basically settled, and he immediately led his troops back to Guandu. This time, Cao Cao traveled thousands of miles and went down three cities in a hurry. It only took more than ten days, which not only relieved his worries, but also increased the momentum of the army.And on the day he returned to Guandu, Yuan Shao's army had entered Liyang in mighty force, and a decisive battle was imminent...
