Chapter 115 Brothers
At the end of the war, Liu Feng led his troops to bid farewell to everyone and return to Shangyong.

The mighty fleet of Liu Chan and others traveled back to Jiangxi, entered Yizhou via Padang, and diverted at the intersection of multiple tributaries in the northwest of Berkshire.

Fan Qiang and Zhang Da led the army back to Langzhong from the north of the Jialing River.

Liu Chan and others continued westward and headed straight for Chengdu.

As soon as Lao Liu received the last battle report, he ordered people to publicize the Jingzhou victory in Yizhou, and even spread it to Hanzhong, so as to reassure the hearts of the people and boost the morale of all walks of life.

So the people who had received the news in advance along the way, especially the Jiangling people who were temporarily resettled in Yizhou, rushed to the riverside when the fleet passed by, cheering.

After the army has won the battle, they can go home after leaving their hometown.

Although Fazheng ordered people to collect food, warm clothes, and arrange or even build temporary shelters for them, none of the people in Jiangling who were resettled in Yizhou this time died of cold and hunger, except for some people who died of illness due to unacclimatized water and soil.

Compared with the tragic fate of the Wudu Di people who Boss Cao moved away, it is really incomparable.

But even if there is no shortage of food and clothing, there is no good home in a foreign country after all, so they are all very excited at this time, and the cold can't stop their enthusiasm.

Also excited are the officials from all over the world. Their own forces have won a big victory, which is a major matter related to the future and interests of each of them.

Many officials ordered their servants to wait by the riverside at the wharf early on, hoping to meet the prince and the two generals Guan and Zhang to express their hearts...

However, several people were eager to return to the city, and did not make many stops along the way, which disappointed the officials who wanted to take the opportunity to get acquainted.

The big boat carrying Liu Chan, Guan Yu and his son, Zhang Fei, and the Prince's army didn't stop at all. The boatmen took turns day and night to row hard, and finally arrived in Chengdu in the second ten days of the twelfth lunar month.

At first the four of them were still drinking and talking and laughing, but as they got closer to Chengdu, Guan Yu gradually became less talkative.

When approaching the pier, Guan Yu was completely silent, frowning from beginning to end.

Liu Chan, Zhang Fei, and Guan Ping all knew that he was in a complicated mood at this time, so they didn't bother him any more, they just waited until he saw Liu Bei.

In the cold wind, the pier was crowded with people who came to greet them.

"Congratulations to the crown prince and the two generals! Congratulations on the great victory in Jingzhou!" People on the pier bowed and shouted with joy.

Liu Chan and the others also returned the salute with a smile...Of course, Guan Yu still frowned deeply.

"Father! Brother!"

Until a woman's shout came from the crowd.

Guan Yinping separated from the crowd in front of him, rushed towards Guan Yu like a gust of wind, and threw himself into Guan Yu's arms.

"Father... woo woo woo."

It wasn't until this time that Guan Yu's expression changed, his brows relaxed slightly, and he patted his daughter on the shoulder: "Okay, I'm fine as a father."

Along with him, there was another young man who looked to be about the same age as Guan Yinping, and Guan Yu's shadow could be seen in his appearance.

"Father, brother." He was also very excited at this time, but as a man, he could still restrain himself, "You have finally returned safely!"

Guan Yu nodded and patted him on the shoulder: "An Guo, wait for my father to discuss the business with your uncle, and then I will explain the Jingzhou matter to you in detail."

The young man nodded in agreement, and then walked up to Liu Chan and bowed a salute: "Prince, I haven't seen you for many years. This time, my father and brother have returned safely, thanks to the help of the prince, and I am very grateful."

Afterwards, he saluted Zhang Fei again, with a generous and thoughtful manner.

The boy was Guan Xing, the second son of Guan Yu, who was sent back to Yizhou along with Guan Yu's other family members who stayed in Jiangling.

Unlike Liu Chan, who wandered around all day long since he was a child, he was well-behaved and polite when he was young. He studied and practiced martial arts on weekdays, and rarely disturbed his father and elder brother's business without authorization.

So much so that when he was in Jingzhou, he didn't have much contact with Liu Chan.

Previously, Liu Chan went to Jingzhou with the caravan to deploy, and it happened that he was going out to study, so he didn't see him until this time.

【…】

Guan Yinping also stepped forward to salute afterward, his teary eyes seemed to have a thousand words, but this was not a good time to confide.

Liu Chan and others, who were eager to meet Liu Bei, hurried into the city, and had to wait until the official business was over before saying goodbye.

……

Liu Bei in Da Sima's mansion looked the same as usual, but his behavior of adjusting his sitting posture from time to time revealed his inner urgency.

If he hadn't become king now, and had to maintain a lot of courtesy in front of outsiders, he would have wanted to go to the pier himself!

"My lord, the crown prince and the two generals Guan and Zhang have arrived."

"Let them in quickly!"

Afterwards, Liu Chan and Guan Zhang walked into the hall together.

As soon as he came in, Guan Yu looked excited and stepped forward quickly.

After only taking two steps, he stopped, thinking about a lot of things to say when he came, but now he looked at his elder brother who had been separated for six years and looked quite old, but he couldn't say a word.

Liu Bei's poker face couldn't hold back anymore, he got up suddenly, and walked quickly to Guan Yu, also speechless for a while.

As he got closer, the wrinkles on his face and the white hair on his head became more obvious.

Guan Yu gradually showed shame, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Brother... Yu failed this time in the Northern Expedition, and almost lost Jingzhou. I owe my brother a great trust. Today... I am here to make an apology!"

Liu Bei grabbed Guan Yu's arms with both hands, pulled him up, looked him up and down, and felt relieved when he saw that he was not injured or disabled: "It's good to be back safely, it's good to be back safely..."

"This time, if Zifang hadn't sacrificed his life to pretend to surrender, Adou would have helped in time...Even if Yu was smashed to pieces, Jingzhou would not be safe." Seeing that Liu Bei didn't blame him, Guan Yu felt even more guilty, "Please punish me, brother."

Liu Bei held Guan Yu's arms tightly, and suddenly shouted angrily: "Who wants you to go to pieces!"

Guan Yu was stunned by this angry shout, but he didn't speak for a moment.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. If Jingzhou loses, it will be lost. If it is defeated, it will be killed. I have died many times before!" But it seemed so light in Liu Bei's mouth.

"If you can't do anything in Jingzhou, you should try your best to protect yourself and return to Yizhou. How can you have the will to die just because of a temporary defeat?!"

Liu Bei finished speaking in one breath. At this time, the anger on his face gradually disappeared. Looking at Guan Yu's no longer young face, he said in a trembling voice: "If I regard a mere state as more important than the lives of my brothers, even if there are thousands of miles in the future Jiangshan, what is so precious?"

Guan Yu's lips were trembling, and his eyes were full of tears: "Brother..."

Liu Bei stepped forward and hugged his old brother who had followed him for many years, and couldn't hold back anymore: "Yun Chang, it's good to be back, it's good to be back!"

The two, who could talk and laugh happily in the face of life and death, actually hugged each other and started crying at this moment.

Zhang Fei on the side was also touched when he remembered the incident of losing Xuzhou back then, and he went forward to hug the two of them.

The three who have not been able to get together for six years finally meet again in this city of Chengdu.

Liu Chan smiled and looked at the three old men who did not care about the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, did not have so many suspicions and calculations, and showed their true feelings, their noses were sore.

I can't help but think of the song in my previous life: "This worship, loyalty and courage, adversity and adversity will never be separated. This worship, life and death will not change, the sky, earth, sun and moon strengthen my feelings..."

The reality is not as romantic as the novel, and the three of them did not become sworn brothers in Taoyuan.

Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei when he was young, and Guan Yu, who later fled to Zhuojun, was also moved by Liu Bei's ambition, and he has followed him to this day.

It wasn't that the three of them became as close as brothers the moment they met, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu even fought a lot at first.

They are the deep feelings gradually built up on the cruel battlefield in the fight.

Although they are not sworn brothers, they also love brothers and sisters and are as kind as father and son.

It is rare in the world to be able to treat people with a foreign surname who have no blood relationship as their own clan, and to avenge their brothers.

It is also rare in the world to be able to abandon high-ranking officials and generous salaries and courteous beauties to find a poor and poor elder brother.

In addition to being moved, Liu Chan also felt a sense of pride in his heart.

What I am most worried about is the theory of destiny.

I am worried that no matter how hard we try, history will always return to its original track for various reasons.

But now it seems that this is not the case, fate can be changed, and the number of days can be reversed.

That being the case, in this world that has spanned thousands of years, you might as well make it bigger!
