Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 235 The strategy of attacking the heart, Guan Yuyi explains Zhou Tai

Yuan Shu supports the establishment of a false emperor, which is a national enmity.

Yuan Shu framed Lu Zhi, it was a personal hatred.

With the combination of national hatred and personal hatred, Guan Yu has no reason to forgive Yuan Shu.

The spies quickly found out that Yuan Shu's camp had set up a false banner, and the main force had already retreated.

Guan Yu left a small number of soldiers and horses in Xuyi, and he took the lead in chasing Yuan Shu on foot.

Yuan Shu couldn't help cursing secretly when Guan Yu was found to be chasing soldiers.

Guan Yu, why didn't you fall for the plan of suspicious soldiers that was agreed upon!
In desperation, Yuan Shu could only fight hastily.

Although Yuan Shu has an advantage in military strength, his family knows his own affairs, and most of the fighting power of these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is at the level of black bandits.

At the suggestion of his son-in-law Huang Yi, Yuan Shu left behind the old, weak and remnant soldiers, and led the main force of the young and strong to walk along the Huai River.

Yuan Shu did a great job, but Guan Yu was not good at it either.

Seeing these old and weak soldiers, Guan Yu saw through Yuan Shu's intentions.

So Guan Yu, as Xuzhou Mu, promised that as long as he put down his weapons, he could go to a nearby city to receive relief food and rice.

The powerful family in Xiapi Kingdom was originally headed by the Chen family.

With Guan Yu and Chen Deng here, no matter whether it is a county magistrate or a powerful family, they have to give Guan Yu and Chen Deng some kind of favor, and take out food and rice to help these hungry people.

Hearing that there was such a good thing, Yuan Shu's old, weak and remnant soldiers were surprised, happy and suspicious.

Lu Su stood up and vividly told this group of old, weak and disabled soldiers how Liu Bei, the herdsman of Qingzhou, settled 50 hungry people in the past.

The name of the man, the shadow of the tree.

The fact that Liu Bei settled 50 hungry people in Qingzhou had already spread to Huainan.

Before that, Liu Bei also sent people to Huainan to publicize the benefits of going to Qingzhou, and many Huainan scholars and people rushed to migrate to Qingzhou.

Most of the rest who were captured by Yuan Shu were unable to migrate.

This group of Yuan soldiers may not believe in Guan Yu, but they will definitely believe in Liu Bei!
"The name of Liu Shijun's benevolence has long been spread in Huainan. I have long wanted to go to Qingzhou, but unfortunately I can't go without money or food."

"This Xuzhou Mu Guan Yu is Xuande's brother-in-law, so he must be a benevolent and good official like Xuande, so he should be trustworthy."

"Could it be to deceive us? What if this Guan Yu is a fake?"

"Pretend to be your size, does a dignified state shepherd need to pretend?"

"Lu Su, Dongcheng, I've met him before. Back then, I went to Lu's house to borrow grain."

"It seems to be true, we finally don't have to go hungry."

"Goddamn Yuan Shu, robbed my land, robbed me of food, killed my family, robbed me of my woman, and forced me to be a soldier. It's a pity that I'm crippled, otherwise I must follow Guan Junhou to beat Yuan Shu."

"."

Gradually, the old, weak and remnant soldiers left behind by Yuan Shu began to look forward to the future.

After Chen Deng learned about Yuan Shu's situation, he offered advice: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shu is unpopular. Most of the soldiers under his command are strong men who are forced to obey Yuan Shu's orders."

"It's better to keep some brave men who have fathers and brothers in Yuan Shu's army and let them join the army."

"Using an offensive strategy, Yuan Shu was forced to abandon the army and flee."

Guan Yu understood, rode his horse and shouted: "Fellow folks, this Marquis is ordered by my elder brother to punish the people for crimes. It is only to wipe out the thieves so that the common people can live and work in peace and contentment."

"However, the battlefield is ruthless, the sword has no eyes, and it is difficult for this Marquis to distinguish who is good and who is a bandit."

"Yuan Shu is fleeing towards Shouchun, and this Marquis will lead his troops to pursue him."

"If you fellow countrymen, and those whose father and brother are in Yuan Shu's army, you can go with me."

"This Marquis promises that as long as the fathers and brothers of the fellow villagers no longer work for Yuan Shu, this Marquis will treat them equally and will not hold them accountable for being thieves."

"Is there anyone who is brave enough to follow this Marquis?"

Guan Yu's voice was loud and pointed directly at people's hearts.

This group of old and weak soldiers abandoned by Yuan Shu was shocked again.

But this time, no one questioned it.

A boy about ten years old jumped out: "Boy Zhou Jing, I would like to follow the Lord!"

Guan Yu looked at the short and thin young man in front of him, and couldn't help being moved and angry: "You are so young, but you were forcibly conscripted into the army. Yuan Shu is a thief, you really are not a son of man!"

"Who else is in your family?"

Zhou Jing's eyes were a little lonely: "Back to the Lord, my mother starved to death early, my father died in a war disaster two years ago, and my elder brother was drafted into the army at the beginning of the year. My elder brother was worried that I would not survive, so he took me into the military camp. "

But soon, Zhou Jing's eyes were proud again: "Junhou, my brother is very powerful, he can hit ten of them one by one. Take me there, and I will definitely be able to persuade my brother to leave Yuan Shu."

Guan Yu didn't want Zhou Jing to follow him at first, but he couldn't bear it, so he shouted, "Where is Guan Ping!"

Guan Ping trotted over and stood in front of Guan Yu's horse: "The child is here!"

Guan Yu looked at Yuan Shu's remnant soldiers, and shouted again: "There are children among you who want to find their father and brother, you can follow the son of this Marquis."

Zhou Jing was overjoyed when he heard that, and quickly greeted behind him: "Two Gouzi, Dahu, and Three Cats, come out quickly, let's go together."

All of a sudden, nearly a hundred teenagers lined up and gathered behind Guan Ping.

Seeing so many young teenagers going to find their father and brother, everyone was even more touched.

Guan Ping also clenched his teeth.

In the past, Guan Yu committed a crime and fled. Guan Ping was still a three-year-old child. He followed the Hu family to find his father for more than ten years, and he understood the pain very well.

"Follow me, go find your father and brother!" Guan Ping followed Guan Yu for a long time, and knew how to appease these young people.

Driven by this group of teenagers, more Yuan Shubing stood up.

They gave up the chance to go to the nearby city to receive relief, which also meant giving up the chance to live.

The battlefield is ruthless.

This time, no one can guarantee whether they will survive.

It is more likely that this group of Yuan soldiers were captured again before they approached Yuan Shu's barracks, or were directly shot and hacked to death.

In Yuan Shu's camp.

A fierce man had already overthrown several soldiers, and when he was catching Yuan Shu's hero, he beat him fiercely.

Those ferocious eyes seemed to be devouring.

While beating, the fierce man roared angrily: "Why, you have to abandon the disabled barracks!"

Le was beaten up until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he argued aggrievedly: "It's none of my business! It was Yuan Gong who said that all the old, weak and remnant soldiers in the general should be gathered to kill the heirs."

"I didn't have time to inform you brother."

The fierce man roared down with another punch: "That's my brother, my only brother! You didn't have time to inform me, why didn't you tell me in advance!"

Le dared not speak.

Because he knew that the fierce man in front of him was not afraid of death.

If this fierce man ran to look for brother, there would be no strong man to protect him and do meritorious deeds for him.

If the elder brother of this fierce man dies, then he can only follow himself in the future.

So Le not only did not notify the fierce man's younger brother, but deliberately made people stare at him to ensure that the fierce general's younger brother and the disabled barracks were cut off.

However, Le seems to have overestimated his own charisma.

In the eyes of this fierce man, the guard Le Jiu, just because of Le can let his younger brother have a job in the Disabled Barracks Camp without going to the battlefield.

However, what the fierce man didn't expect was that.

The errand that I planned for my younger brother without going to the battlefield actually hurt my younger brother.

"A-Tai, stop now. If you hit him again, you'll die." Another strong man walked by and grabbed the strong man's arm.

Le broke free, rolled aside like a donkey, and pulled out his saber angrily: "Come here, take down the traitors Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin for this general!"

Zhou Tai was furious: "Le Jiu, you are courting death!"

Jiang Qin, who persuaded the fight, also froze on the spot.

I'm here to persuade you to arrest me?

"General Le, what do you mean?" Jiang Qin sullenly.

Le just sneered: "Who in this battalion doesn't know that you have the best relationship with Zhou Tai? If the general wanted to kill Zhou Tai, would you not help? Simply kill the two of you together."

"Just right, Mr. Yuan also wants to clean up military discipline, so he uses you two to clarify the military law."

Jiang Qin spat and said angrily, "Damn! You are the only one who deserves to talk about purge of military discipline!"

Le laughed loudly: "Zhou Tai, let you understand. I didn't inform you brother on purpose, but now I think he has become Guan Yu's ghost."

Zhou Tai's face became more gloomy, he gritted his teeth, and said every word: "Lejiu, today either you die or I die! Kill!"

An angry Zhou Tai rushed towards Lejiu like a bull, but Lejiu didn't fight Zhou Tai at all, and retreated directly behind the soldiers.

"Get out of the way for me!"

Zhou Tai looks like a fierce tiger, chopping left and right.

Even if he was hit by a sword and blood flowed, he didn't seem to feel pain.

"madman!"

Le was terrified and backed away even more.

"A Tai, don't fight recklessly, A Jing may not die." Seeing that the situation was getting more and more critical, Jiang Qin quickly pulled Zhou Tai back.

Zhou Tai stared fiercely at Le Jiu who was hiding in the depths of the soldiers.

If eyes could kill, Le would have died thousands of times.

"Lejiu, I'll take your dog's head again in the future!" Zhou Tai no longer wanted to fight, and fought and retreated with Jiang Qin, all the way out of the barracks.

After bandaging the wound, Zhou Tai knelt down in the direction of Xia Cai, with tears in his eyes: "Father, the child is incompetent and failed to protect brother."

Jiang Qin comforted: "A Tai, I have heard that Qingzhou Xuande is a benevolent person, and he is a rare benevolent person in the world."

"Yuan Shu, the dog thief, was killed by the old, weak, sick, and disabled. Although it is infuriating, Guan Yu is Xuande's brother-in-law, and he will not slaughter a group of old, weak and disabled soldiers."

"Ah Jing may not die."

"When Guan Yu's soldiers and horses pass by, we will capture a soldier who is alone, and we will find out as soon as we ask."

Zhou Tai clenched his fists and said, "If Guan Yu really kills brother, I will take him to be buried with me when I die."

After raising them for two days, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin finally got Guan Yu's soldiers and horses.

Looking at the heavily guarded camp, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin gritted their teeth and went to the soldiers on duty at the gate of the camp at night.

But Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin had been in the army for too short a time, so they didn't know the variables of Guan Yu's camp.

As soon as he knocked down the soldiers on duty at the gate of the camp, he was noticed by the secret sentry.

The one on patrol tonight happened to be Qu Yi who had boarded the camp first.

A burst of crossbow arrows directly blocked Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's escape route.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, there is a thief spying on the camp! General Qu originally wanted to capture him alive, but the thief general captured our soldiers again, and asked to see you by name."

"General Qu can't judge the identity of the other party, please go and identify the other party."

In the commander's account, Guan Yu, who was studying "Lu Shi's New Book", heard the report from the soldiers.

"Who does the other party claim to be? What's the matter with finding this Marquis?"

"Zhou Tai from Xiacai, Jiujiang, and Jiang Qin from Shouchun, Jiujiang. Zhou Tai said that he was looking for brother."

"Ok?"

Guan Yu narrowed his phoenix eyes, and had a guess in his mind: it must be Yuan Shu who annoyed Zhou Tai by killing the old, weak and remnant soldiers.

Thinking of this, Guan Yu sent someone to summon Guan Ping to gather all the youths under his command to the gate of the camp.

Soon.

Guan Yu, in a green robe and blue shirt, rode his horse to the gate of the camp.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were back to back, holding a soldier hostage in their hands. Seeing Guan Yu's arrival, they subconsciously tensed up.

"Your Majesty, if you can subdue them, these two will be taken by the infantry battalion." Qu Yi said in a low voice.

Guan Yu understood instantly.

Qu Yi has always been arrogant, he has extremely strict requirements on the soldiers of the infantry battalion, and would rather be short than excessive.

With the combat strength of Qu Yi and the pawns who entered the camp first, there was no need to agree to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's conditions at all, just capture them directly.

The reason why Guan Yu was invited was because he saw the potential of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and he didn't want Tian Yu from the cavalry battalion to be robbed.

If Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were captured, they might not be willing to come to the infantry camp.

"Let's ask first." Guan Yu looked at Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and his tone was undeniably majestic: "If you let my soldiers go, I will spare your lives. If you don't let them go, you will be killed."

Guan Yu is not hypocritical.

Although it is understandable for Zhou Tai to look for his brother, this is a military camp.

He broke into the barracks and captured Guan Yu's soldiers. How could Guan Yu submit?

Chituma snorted, and the pair of horse eyes looking at Zhou Tai also seemed to have disdain.

Zhou Tai gritted his teeth, let go of the soldiers, and bowed to Guan Yu: "Little man Zhou Tai, I have met Guan Junhou."

Guan Yu glanced coldly: "Trespassing the barracks without authorization and capturing Sergeant Benhou, are you guilty?"

Zhou Tai said fearlessly: "If my younger brother is still alive, the villain is willing to be punished; if my younger brother dies in the army of the lord, the villain can only fight to the death!"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and secretly praised Zhou Tai for his courage, but his tone was still stern: "This Marquis will not kill the old and the weak under the sword."

Just talking.

A young man rushed over, it was Zhou Jing who heard the news: "Brother, is that you?"

"Brother!" Zhou Tai was overjoyed when he heard this.

Zhou Jing ran to Zhou Tai, grabbed the knife from Zhou Tai's hand, threw it on the ground, and kowtowed to Guan Yu to apologize: "Your Majesty, this is Zhou Tai, brother of the villain."

"I implore you to spare your life! The villain is willing to take the crime for my brother."

Zhou Tai saw that Zhou Jing appeared here safe and sound, no matter how dull he was, he knew what was going on.

Seeing this, Zhou Tai sighed secretly, knelt down on one knee, and pleaded guilty to Guan Yu: "The villain trespassed into the barracks and captured the sergeant, and he has committed a big mistake."

"The villain is responsible for this crime. Jiang Qin helped the villain out of righteousness. I also ask Guan Junhou to forgive Jiang Qin."

Jiang Qin was shocked: "Tai, since I dared to accompany you, I never thought of leaving alive. Guan Junhou, the villain is willing to accept the crime with Artai."

"Father." Guan Ping leaned closer to Guan Yu, feeling a little impatient.

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard, quietly watched Zhou Tai and the three of them blame each other, and nodded secretly.

"Bowei, I'll leave it to you. I'll beat you with twenty army sticks, and then I'll come to the commander's account to meet the Marquis." Guan Yu ordered Qu Yi, and then rode back.

Qu Yi secretly rejoiced, and Su Rong looked at Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin: "Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, you two trespassed on the barracks. Although there are excusable circumstances, you violated our military law after all."

"Your Majesty is benevolent, I only punish the two of you with twenty army sticks each, are you willing to be punished?"

For such a serious crime, the penalty is only twenty army sticks. What is there to be unconvinced about?
"Zhou Tai is willing to be punished!"

"Jiang Qin is willing to be punished!"
