Chapter 2043 Conditions for Surrender
In Hanzhong Prison.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not locked in the same cell. The two were adjacent to each other but could not reach each other.
Every day, the two brothers can only chat across the fence of the cell to relieve their boredom.
The two of them were leaning against the fence and guessing how Liu Bei was doing recently. They heard footsteps coming from the aisle.
People come from the aisle, and they are always fixed at the time of delivering meals and collecting custards.
Now the time is wrong, someone actually came, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei subconsciously looked over.
The guards guarding the prison led a few people.
It was Lu Xun who took the lead.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had also seen him. It was him who came, and both of them turned their faces aside.
"The King of Wei asked me to see the two generals and ask them to mourn me." When he came outside the prison gate, Lu Xun said lightly.
There was no plan to pay attention to him, but when he heard that he was talking about "sadness", Guan Yu and Zhang Fei turned their heads over.
"What do you mean?" Hearing the bad meaning, Guan Yu's tone was alert when he asked.
"Liu Xuande died and died of illness." Lu Xun said: "It was only the lord who received the news that he died of the plague in Langzhong. Fa Xiaozhi did not make things difficult for his body, and burned him to prevent the plague from spreading."
Guan Yu's face was still confused, and Zhang Fei stood up suddenly.
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "What's wrong with my brother? Say it again..."
"Say it a hundred times, the same is true." Lu Xun replied: "Liu Xuande is dead, and the two generals are mourning. If the two generals also want to follow him, I will send someone to poison wine."
He turned around and tried to leave, took two steps and turned back and said, "But I want to remind you that you have offended many people in Yizhou in the past. If you die like this, your family will probably not have a good life."
"What do you want?" Guan Yu asked with his eyes wide open.
"Not really, I just told you that you can enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree." Lu Xun said: "The big tree is always there. You decide whether to die or rely on a big tree to enjoy the shade with your own decision!"
After saying this, he ignored Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and left with a few guards.
When Liu Bei died, Yizhou would definitely not be able to be saved.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sat in the prison cell dejectedly.
The two of them were silent for a long time, and then Zhang Fei asked casually: "Second brother, what should we do..."
"Brother is no longer here, and there will be no more in Yizhou. What else can we do?" Guan Yu looked up at the roof and sighed: "Although the world is big, I'm afraid there will be no place for you and my brothers."
"What did Lu Boyan mean just now?" Zhang Fei asked again: "What is leaning against a big tree..."
"The big tree he mentioned is nothing more than Cao Zirong." Guan Yu said: "If we are willing to surrender to Cao Zirong, we will not die. If we are unwilling to surrender to him, there is only one way to die."
"I always feel that my elder brother is not dead." Zhang Fei said: "Brother has led us to fight for many years. How could he be so easy to get infected with the plague and die of illness?"
"You mean..." Guan Yu asked in surprise: "We still have to survive?"
"I really want to survive." Zhang Fei replied: "If the eldest brother is not dead and we are dead, who can help him if he wants to accomplish great things in the future?"
Guan Yu had never thought of following Liu Bei to die.
Over the years, he and Zhang Fei have seen everything that Liu Bei has done.
So it was because Liu Bei had brotherly feelings for them. Although he often pushed the two of them at the forefront of risks, he never ignored the slightest sympathy as he treated others.
For them, Liu Bei still has some benefits.
From Zhang Fei's words, Guan Yu heard that he had the same meaning.
If Liu Bei was alive, they would betray Cao Shu and go back in the future, and some beautiful talks about deep brotherhood could be spread.
If Liu Bei was really dead, relying on Cao Shu, their family would not be bullied by others.
After a long silence, Guan Yu shouted outside: "Come here, my third brother and I have something to say!"
He and Zhang Fei were all kept in prison.
Guan Yu shouted, and soon a guard ran over.
"What do you mean by General Guan?" The guard was quite respectful to him.
When the two of them were imprisoned, Lu Xun specifically ordered that no one should make things difficult for them, otherwise all the guards would be punished.
Therefore, the guards were not harsh in treating the two of them, and even took good care of them.
Apart from not being able to go out, the two of them were cleaned up and there was no odor.
Living here is quite comfortable.
Sitting on the ground, Guan Yu looked up at the guard and said, "You go and tell Lu Boyan... it's not right, it's telling Cao Zirong that we have something to say to him."
The guard agreed and turned around and left.
"What do you want to say to Cao Zirong?" Zhang Fei asked.
"I want to tell Cao Zirong that if the eldest brother is still alive, we will go find him." Guan Yu said: "If he is really gone, from now on, no one can say anything if we vote for Cao Zirong. We and our eldest brother have been in trouble for many years and are loyal to each other. As long as the eldest brother is still alive, there is no reason to follow others."
"Actually, I think so too." Zhang Fei replied: "Fortunately, Fa Xiaozhi didn't do anything to his elder brother, otherwise I wouldn't have spared him!"
The two brothers sat in the cell and talked to each other for a while through the fence.
About an hour later, the guard finally came back.
In addition to the guard, Lu Xun was also here.
Standing outside the cell, Lu Xun asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "What do the two generals have to say?"
"We want to see Cao Zirong." Guan Yu replied: "There are some things that Bo Yan can't do!"
"The lord is busy with business, so let me come and do it for you." Lu Xun said: "If the two generals think they have nothing to do with me, I will say goodbye first!"
He bowed his hand and turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Guan Yu hurriedly shouted: "Boyan walks slowly!"
Lu Xun turned around and said, "General Guan has something to say?"
Guan Yu hesitated and said, "Can Bo Yan really make the decision on behalf of Cao Zirong?"
"That depends on what's going on." Lu Xun replied: "I can make decisions about some things, but I can't make decisions about some things, so I can only report to my lord truthfully."
It is clear that if they don’t say anything to Lu Xun, they will never see Cao Shuo. Guan Yu said, “We don’t believe that our elder brother has passed away.”
"Whether you believe it or not, Liu Xuande is dead." Lu Xun said: "He pretended to be a woman and was mixed among the refugees, but the plague among the refugees was rampant, which also infected him. When he found him, he was already dead."
