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

Chapter 70

Another courtyard in the city.

Guan Hai saw Guan Ding who was weaving bamboo mats in the courtyard.

Although Hu Zhao considered that Guan Ding had a lame foot and it was inconvenient to move around, he specially assigned a maid to take care of daily life for Guan Ding, but Guan Ding couldn't be idle.

When I was free, I started weaving bamboo mats.

"Guan Qushuai, I won't bother your uncles and nephews to reminisce about the past." Hu Zhao made a gesture of invitation, wisely, he didn't come up to Guan Ding with Guan Hai.

When Guan Hai saw Guan Ding, his hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

His parents have passed away, Guan Ding is Guan Hai's only relative.

"uncle!"

Guan Hai came to Guan Ding, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground.

Tears welled up in those tiger eyes.

"Nephew, why are you here?" Seeing Guan Hai who suddenly barged in, Guan Ding was taken aback, stood up with a limp, and subconsciously looked out the door.

Guan Yu led his troops to meet the Yellow Turban Bandits outside, but Guan Hai, who was a member of the Yellow Turban Bandits, appeared in Gaotang City, which made Guan Ding a little panicked.

Guan Hai quickly approached, supported Guan Ding and said, "Don't be afraid, uncle, there are no officers and soldiers outside the door."

Guan Ding breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at Guan Hai was still full of worry, and asked again: "Nephew, Guan Xianwei went out of the city to meet you, why are you in the city?"

"Uncle, I, I was ordered to attack Gaotang City." Guan Hai lowered his head, not hiding anything from Guan Ding.

Looking at Guan Hai, who bowed his head and was honest, Guan Ding couldn't help stomping his feet: "Nephew, you are so confused! Who is Xu Qi? That is a vicious jackal. Are you going to make all the people in Gaotang City feel ashamed?" Have you been bullied by Xu Qi?"

"I warned you last time, find a chance to leave the Yellow Turban, but you brought troops to attack Gaotang City?"

"Do you want the old man to send the white-haired man to the black-haired man?"

"Lord Liu Bei is a benevolent person in the world. He has always observed the sufferings of the people. The houses in the city are prepared to house the victims of disasters, and the porridge sheds are prepared outside the city. Under the rule of such a benevolent official, you want to fight?"

"Could it be that you have completely given up on kindness like that thief Xu Qi, and only want to be that bandit who bullies the weak?"

"So, what is the difference between you and the powerful bully who killed your parents in the past?"

The more Guan Ding cursed, the more angry he became, suddenly he couldn't catch his breath and coughed continuously.

Seeing this, Guan Hai was terrified, and was about to step forward, but Guan Ding scolded him back.

"Kneel down for the old man!"

"It's a blessing that my brother and sister-in-law have a son when they get old, but now they not only suffer from bullies, but their son has also become a thief who bullies good people."

"Bitter!"

Guan Ding was weeping and cursing, but Guan Hai only dared to prostrate his head on the ground, not daring to disobey in the slightest.

It wasn't until Guan Ding got tired of scolding that Guan Hai looked at Guan Ding aggrievedly: "Uncle, you misunderstood my nephew, although my nephew was ordered to fight Gaotang City, but my nephew didn't really fight! "

"You still want to fight?" Guan Ding frowned again, Guan Hai's head shrank when he saw it with sharp eyes.

moment.

Guan Ding's anger subsided a bit, seeing Guan Hai's aggrieved appearance, he couldn't help feeling pain in his heart, and asked in a calm tone, "Nephew, what exactly are you thinking?"

Guan Hai shook his head: "Uncle, I don't know. Hu Zhao persuaded me to surrender, but my nephew is a thief after all, and there are two hundred brothers under his command, and they also have relatives. If they surrender, they will really be slaughtered."

"Xu Qushuai once told me that officers and soldiers cannot be trusted. In the past, Huangfu Songkeng killed 20 soldiers of the Yellow Turbans, even the old and weak, women and children. My nephew dare not bet!"

"My nephew was at a loss, so I came to see my uncle."

Seeing Guan Hai's pain, Guan Ding couldn't bear it even more. He limped and pulled Guan Hai up, and then smoothed Guan Hai's somewhat disheveled hair: "Master Liu Bei once said to this old man that the country has its own laws and rewards. It must be done, and the punishment must be done."

"As an official, you must seek justice and not favoritism for personal reasons."

"If you really have the repentance to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, Lord Liu Bei will punish you lightly."

"However, if there is a crime of wanton murder, like Xu Qi, who imposes the injustice he has suffered on other innocent people, that is a capital crime."

"Nephew, don't make mistakes!"

"If you really don't want to surrender, go to other places. People in Gaotang County can no longer suffer because of you."

Looking at the unconcealed concern in Guan Ding's old eyes, Guan Hai fell silent.

a long time.

Guan Hai gritted his teeth: "Uncle, my nephew is not leaving! Even if you are about to be accused, my nephew must stay by my uncle's side!"

clap clap-

Hu Zhao stroked his palms into the room, and praised: "There is a way, if the prodigal son turns back, he will not be exchanged for real gold. Guan Hai, this man values ​​faith, you can't go back on what you said?"

"Lord County Prime Minister." Seeing Hu Zhao appearing, Guan Ding hurriedly pleaded for Guan Hai: "The old nephew just went astray, please ask Lord County Prime Minister to plead for mercy."

"Mr. Guan, your legs and feet are inconvenient. Sit down and talk." Hu Zhao wanted to accept Guan Hai's heart for Liu Bei, and respected Guan Dingna: "My lord Liu Bei has told me that Mr. Guan has always been virtuous and is a villager. He is a role model for the people, so I have to take good care of him."

Seeing Hu Zhao mentioning Liu Bei, Guan Ding couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic and said: "Master Liu Bei did not hesitate to condescend to weave bamboo mats for the old man, because after leaving the official business, he gave money to the neighbors to weave bamboo mats for the old man. "

"Whenever I think of my nephew still in the yellow scarf, I feel ashamed of Lord Liu Bei, alas."

Hu Zhao said calmly: "The old man is serious. Guan Hai joined the Yellow Turban because he was forced by the tyrant and powerful, and it was not his intention."

"Lord Liu Bei once said that if there are good villagers who join the Yellow Turbans under the rule, it is not the fault of the good villagers, but the officials are dereliction of duty."

"If the officials can strictly enforce the law, how can there be good villagers who are wronged and humiliated and forced to follow the thieves?"

Hu Zhaosan's three words are inseparable from Liu Bei, whether Liu Bei said it or not, he regards it as Liu Bei's teaching.

Guan Ding was greatly moved, looked at Guan Hai and said, "Nephew, have you heard the words of the magistrate? Liu Bei is a true official of benevolence and righteousness. As long as you sincerely repent and have not committed any serious mistakes, you can forgiven."

Under Guan Ding's persuasion and Hu Zhao's words, Guan Hai's entanglement and hesitation were finally let go.

"Lord County Prime Minister, Guan Hai is willing to surrender!" Guan Hai knelt on one knee and saluted Hu Zhao.

This change in title also shows Guan Hai's inner determination.

Hu Zhao laughed loudly, helped Guan Hai up and said, "Guan Hai, go out of the city first! After County Captain Guan comes back, you can bring your subordinates to land again, and I will speak well for you."

Guan Hai looked at Hu Zhao with a slightly more complicated look.

Hu Zhao's words also hinted at Guan Hai's ability to surrender depends on Guan Yu's intentions.

"Lord County Prime Minister, there were many misunderstandings before, and Guan Hai appreciates your kindness!" Guan Hai clasped his fists in thanks.

After sending Guan Hai out of the city, Hu Zhao immediately sent a cavalry pawn to report to Guan Yu.

Although Guan Hai was persuaded to surrender with the help of Guan Ding, whether Guan Hai can be accepted depends on Guan Yu's attitude.

After Liu Bei took charge of Pingyuan, Guan Yu was ordered to take charge of Gaotang County.

Hu Zhao is in charge of the government, Guan Yu is in charge of the army, and when it comes to major affairs, it is up to Guan Yu to decide.

On the way, the cavalry met Guan Yu who had withdrawn and returned, and presented Hu Zhao's secret letter.

"This Hu Zhao is quite interesting."

Guan Yu glanced at the secret letter and nodded slightly.

Although he doesn't like scholars very much, Guan Yu is not unreasonable.

The government affairs in this county still need scholars to manage, and it just so happens that Hu Zhao is good at government affairs.

"Zicheng, this is a secret letter from Hu Xiancheng, please take a look." Guan Yu handed the secret letter to Hua Ji.

Hua Ji's performance today made Guan Yu quite satisfied.

This young scholar also changed Guan Yu's impression of scholars to a certain extent.

"Lieutenant Guan, Gaotang County shouldn't kill any more."

"Xu Qi and the other six Yellow Turbans, Qu Shuai, are dead, and the culprit has been killed! The rest of the Yellow Turbans can be recruited and appeased."

"After all, the fields in Gaotang County cannot be cultivated by old and weak women and children."

"If you accept Guan Hai's surrender, you may be able to use Guan Hai to recruit the remaining Yellow Turbans in Gaotang County. In this way, the Yellow Turbans in Gaotang County will be completely pacified."

"We will be able to arrange the villagers to return to their homes as soon as possible, and prepare food and clothing for the winter."

Hua Ji's immature face was a little more weathered, and his thoughtful words were more thoughtful.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and carefully considered Hua Ji's answer.

Now that the leader of the Yellow Turbans has been eliminated, the most important thing is to resettle the villagers to return to their homes!
It only takes one day to defeat the enemy, but resettling the villagers cannot be done in a day or two.

If it is not handled properly and the villagers are left to suffer from cold and hunger, it will inevitably lead to a second rebellion by the villagers.

"I was entrusted by my elder brother to take charge of Gaotang County on my behalf, so I will comfort the affected villagers for my elder brother."

"According to your words, accept this Guan Hai's surrender!"

Guan Yu acted decisively, and sent someone to summon Guan Hai as soon as he returned to the city.

At this time, Guan Hai also received information about the destruction of Xu Qi and the other six Yellow Turbans, so he couldn't help but feel lucky.

Even Xu Qi is dead, so what's the use of seizing Gaotang City?

Immediately.

Guan Hai led the two hundred yellow scarves to the city and asked Guan Yu to surrender.

Seeing Guan Hai's bravery and youth, Guan Yu had three points of appreciation in his heart.

He also learned that Guan Hai's parents died of a powerful bully, and Guan Hai killed his enemy in a fit of anger before joining the Yellow Turban, Guan Yu felt a little more empathy.

How similar is Guan Hai in front of him to what happened to Guan Yu back then?

It's just that after Guan Yu killed his enemy, he met Liu Bei on the way to escape, so he didn't devote himself to the Yellow Turban as a bandit like Guan Hai.

"Guan Hai, you were originally a son of a good family, but because the tyrannical bully bullied your parents, and the county magistrate didn't punish the villain according to law, you had no choice but to escape."

"Guan has also experienced this in the past."

"There are so many bad officials and bad officials in this world that most heroes have no choice but to flee."

"But Guan was lucky enough to meet his benevolent elder brother, which prevented him from becoming a bandit."

"Since you are willing to surrender today, you can no longer be a thief. You need to read the Spring and Autumn Period frequently to understand the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, and you can no longer have the heart of a thief."

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard, stepped forward to support Guan Hai, and taught him earnestly.

Guan Hai was shocked in his heart.

When Guan Yu said "the same happened in the past", Guan Hai also felt empathy.

As a son of a good family, but had to use force in private to kill the enemy, and finally turned into a bandit, isn't this a kind of sadness?

I could kill the enemy and make a name for myself, but I found that I can only become a thief!
Even Guan Ding couldn't understand the pain in Guan Hai's heart.

But Guan Yu in front of him revealed Guan Hai's true inner thoughts in a few words, and even persuaded Guan Hai to read the Spring and Autumn Period diligently and understand the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Annals.

This gave Guan Hai the excitement of meeting a confidant.

"Humble Guan Hai, remember the teachings of the county captain!" Guan Hai burst into tears and bowed again.

Seeing this, Guan Yu was also very happy.

A reckless hero like Guan Hai can be more recognized by Guan Yu.

"Guan Hai, Gaotang County doesn't need the Yellow Turbans any more." Guan Yu restrained his expression: "Will you help Guan to recruit the remaining Yellow Turbans?"

Guan Hai clasped his fists generously: "Lord County Captain, don't worry, I'm still quite famous among the Yellow Turbans. Allow me a few days, and I will definitely surrender the remaining Yellow Turbans for Lord County Captain."

The battle in Gaotang County has been decided, and Guan Yu sent people to send the battle report to Liu Bei in a hurry.

Seeing that Guan Yu defeated the seven yellow scarves in Gaotang County, and recruited a group of young yellow scarves headed by Guan Hai, the resettlement of the victims was also done safely.

The worries in Liu Bei's heart finally disappeared, replaced by indescribable excitement.

"Yun Chang has also grown up!"

Liu Bei knew Guan Yu's character well, and was always worried that Guan Yu would be at odds with Hua Ji and Hu Zhao, which would make the Yellow Turbans and disaster victims in Gaotang County uncontrollable.

But now, Guan Yu was able to live in harmony with Hua Ji and Hu Zhao, and nip the disaster in Gaotang County in the bud, which made Liu Bei more excited than excited.

Liu Bei's status and reputation rose too fast.

In just over two months, he has changed from an unknown Gao Tangling to a trying Shou Pingyuan Prime Minister.

Not only that, Liu Bei also became the prospective niece and son-in-law of Liu Shuo, the king of Pingyuan. Because Jiao He refused to give Liu Bei a place of talent, all the kings of the Liu clan in Qingzhou came to Pingyuan to support Liu Bei.

This sudden change in status and reputation also made Liu Bei feel a little bit on thin ice, for fear that if he was inadvertent, this status and reputation would be shattered like a dream.

Now that Zhang Fei has gone to Youzhou, Liu Bei naturally doesn't have to worry about Zhang Fei making mistakes, but Guan Yu is in Gaotang County, and he is not around to restrain him. Liu Bei is afraid that Guan Yu will offend all his colleagues and scholars because of his arrogance.

But Liu Bei is walking on thin ice, so why isn't Guan Yu walking on thin ice?

Seeing that Liu Bei's family business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are few people available, Guan Yu reminds himself all the time to be restrained and calm.

If he made a mistake, it would be tantamount to ruining Liu Bei's entire future.

This is what Guan Yu cannot tolerate!
Fortunately, the Yellow Turban crisis in Gaotang County has been successfully resolved.

Guan Yu's performance also exceeded Liu Bei's expectations.

The growth of his foster brother is also something that Liu Bei should be happy about.

When the family business was small, Guan Yu could still be used as a guard. When the family business is big, Guan Yu must be alone!

"Next, it's up to Mr. Xianmou." Liu Bei looked in the direction of Ban County.

After Zheng Ping wiped out the Yellow Turbans in Ande and Ge counties with lightning speed, Zheng Ping raised his troops to Ban County.
