Chapter 77
At this time, Liu Bei had not only forgotten what his two wives were like, he had also almost forgotten Guan Yu.
He thought that Yuan Shao would have no chance for the monkey to steal the peach. After this shot, it was time to change to another place.
On this day, in Liu Bei's mansion in Yecheng, he, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Zhang Fei and others sat together, all of them with serious expressions on their faces.
"Today Yuan Shao ordered me to go with the yellow turban general Liu Pi in three days to plunder Cao Cao's territory south of Xuchang. There will definitely be no benefit from this trip. We will be like Liu Pi who just surrendered. Once Yuan Shao is destroyed
, I must be the first to die!"
Liu Bei complained in a low voice to his few hardcore friends. If he was just allowed to enjoy life in Yecheng for a few days, Liu Bei would still feel that his life was good.
But suddenly he was asked to go with Liu Pi to harass Cao Cao, which made Liu Bei feel that Yuan Shao didn't take his imperial uncle seriously at all.
Sitting directly opposite Liu Bei was Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei was born differently from Guan Yu. He was a man with broad shoulders and thin waist, full of strength but thin cheeks. At first glance, he looked quite handsome.
But everyone who really knows him knows that Zhang Fei's temper is not very good. To describe it as irritable is not an exaggeration at all.
"Yuan Benchu really doesn't know how to commend himself. We have fought many times with Cao Jun in Guandu, and even lost some of his own soldiers. Not only did he get no credit at all, but he still ostracized us like this!"
With Zhang Fei's rhythm, Liu Bei just lowered his head and said nothing. Mi Fang and Mi Zhu looked at each other and spoke.
"Uncle, I am just a pawn under Yuan Shao's command. Yuan Shao has always scorned the Liu family, so he doesn't care about your status as an imperial uncle. We are going to the south of Xuchang this time, why don't we come back."
After all, Zhang Fei is a military commander, and some words coming out of his mouth are inappropriate, but it is different when coming out of the mouths of the Mi brothers. They are positioned as advisers to Liu Bei.
However, all of this is just a routine for Liu Bei. With his character, such erratic words must not come out of his own mouth, but can only come out of the mouths of people like Mi Zhu.
Then Liu Bei used the tone of his eldest brother to express helplessly that although he also wanted fame, he wanted more people to follow him!
"When we just defected to Yuan Shao, I met Zilong in this city of Ye. At first, in order to leave a way for us to escape, Zilong did not join us, but secretly recruited hundreds of people to fight with the outside world.
They claim to be under General Zuo, but Yuan Shao probably doesn't know about it yet. Let's break away from Yuan Shao and use this group of troops as the basis."
Zhang Fei blinked in confusion after hearing this, thinking to himself, shouldn't it be you who decided to leave Yuan Shao? How come you had already prepared for it?
"There are only a few hundred troops. Even if we can take some more from the troops Yuan Shao gave us this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to achieve anything. We won't be able to capture a city, so how can we develop!"
Although Mi Zhu claims to be an adviser, he really can't do much. What he mainly relies on is his honesty and loyalty. He is sincerely thinking about Liu Bei.
"Well, with the current situation, we still have to find a prince to take refuge. I have already sent Sun Qian and Jian Yong to Jingzhou. Liu Biao has a good reputation in Jingzhou, and many talents have gathered in the nine counties of Jingxiang.
, when we get there, we can slowly figure it out!"
Zhang Fei was stunned again after hearing this. He thought to himself that not only was Zhao Yun sent out, but Sun Qian and Jian Yong also went to Jingzhou. When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it at all?
Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Fei to expose his elder brother in public. After all, after Guan Yu was captured by Cao Cao, Liu Bei relied more and more on him. After all, in this pure and chaotic world, there is no one under his command who can beat you. Even if you have any thoughts in your heart, it will be in vain.
"Have they reached an agreement?"
Mi Zhu was not surprised at Liu Bei's behavior.
"Liu Biao agreed to let us go, but it is unknown whether he will reuse us after we go. Fortunately, there are few wars in Jingzhou because of its outstanding people. It would be good to rest and recuperate."
The Mi brothers nodded frequently after hearing this. In Yecheng, outsiders like them are indeed not popular. After going to Liu Biao's place, they are still officially Han clan members. After all, they can't be worse than they are now, right?
"Yun Chang and his two sisters-in-law are still in Xuchang. How about I sneak into Xuchang at night and see if I can bring Yunchang back?"
When the matter was almost said, Zhang Fei finally had a chance to intervene. What he was thinking about was not how to bear the humiliation and how to develop, but about Guan Yu.
Originally, Zhang Fei was quite angry about the fact that Guan Yu surrendered to Cao Cao and was given the title of partial general.
He felt that if he was caught by Cao Cao, he would definitely rather die than surrender. Originally he thought Guan Yu should be like this, but in fact Guan Yu was still prospering there.
But Mi Zhu made it clear after Guan Yu came back from the battle against them. Guan Yu must still want to return to Liu Bei. The reason why he didn't come back before the battle must be because of Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi.
Mrs. Mi is the biological sister of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang. It is unclear whether their words have anything to do with their sisters. However, Zhang Fei obviously believed it. After thinking about it for a few days, he immediately changed his view of Guan Yu. .
"No, this matter is too dangerous. I know Yun Chang's temperament. Once there is a chance, he will have a plan. If you go, you can only disrupt his plan. We just need to let him know. We are going to Jingzhou, and once there is a chance, he will naturally look for us."
Zhang Fei didn't know whether it was Liu Bei who was too confident in Guan Yu or whether he was afraid that he would never come back like Guan Yu, but since the boss had spoken, he naturally couldn't insist on it.
What they didn't know yet was that Guan Yu had already set foot on the road to Jiangdong before them.
Three days later, Liu Bei and Liu Pi led Yuan Shao's army of 10,000 troops and rushed to several small towns south of Xuchang. Their purpose was of course not to defeat Xuchang step by step, but just to make Yuan Shao angry after his defeat. He just wanted to make Cao Cao feel uncomfortable.
During these three days, Liu Bei was not idle. Instead, he discussed with Mi Zhu and others a not-so-rigid strategy of leaving Yuan Shao and defecting to Liu Biao. Therefore, when he led his troops to attack Cao Jun, Liu Bei was still quite confident. of.
