Three Kingdoms

Chapter 8
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought.Cao Cao sent Guan Yu to kill Yuan Shao's two generals, Wen Chou and Yan Liang.Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to kill Liu Bei.Liu Bei hurriedly wrote a letter telling Guan Yu to leave Cao Cao.

Guan Yu quickly led dozens of soldiers to escort Liu Bei's two wives away from Cao Cao.Cao Cao regretted it when he found out, and wanted to keep Guan Yu.So he ordered his general Zhang Liao to go and keep Guan Yu first, and then he came later.

Zhang Liao respected Guan Yu very much and hoped that Guan Yu would stay and serve Cao Cao.Guan Yu did not agree to Zhang Liao.At this time, Cao Cao led more than ten men to send Guan Yu to the future.Cao Cao said to Guan Yu, "Why did General Guan leave so fast? He didn't even say hello to me." Guan Yu said to Cao Cao, "I resigned from my post and left a letter to you, but you refused to see me. .I now know the whereabouts of my elder brother Liu Bei, and I want to find him. You can’t go back on the agreement we made before!” Cao Cao said: “In this case, it’s up to you.” Cao Cao wanted to give away the shirt and the treasure to Guan Yu.Guan Yu only accepted the battle robe but not Cao Cao's treasure.

Guan Yu escorted the two sister-in-laws to Dongling Pass in a hurry.The general guarding the pass was named Kong Xiu, and he led the guards to block the pass to prevent Guan Yu from passing.Guan Yu repeatedly asked for convenience, but Kong Xiu not only refused to give way to Guan Yu, but also scolded Guan Yu for being unkind and unrighteous.

Guan Yu killed Kong Xiu with a single blow and passed Dongling Pass.

Guan Yu protected the two sisters-in-law and went straight to Luoyang.Luoyang prefect Han Fu and his general Meng Tan wanted to capture Guan Yu.Guan Yu didn't bother them, and killed Han Fu and Meng Tan one by one.

Guan Yu didn't dare to stay, and rushed towards Sishui Pass.Bian Xi, the guard of Sishui Pass, treated Guan Yu well on the surface, but he secretly ambushed him with knives and axes to kill Guan Yu.Guan Yu also killed Bian Xi with one blow.

Guan Yu escorted the two sister-in-laws to the city of Xingyang.Wang Zhi, the prefect of Xingyang, and Han Fu were in-laws. He wanted to avenge Han Fu, and secretly wanted to burn Guan Yu to death.Wang Zhi's subordinate Hu Ban respected Guan Yu, and he told Guan Yu the secret of Wang Zhi's key to Guan Yu.Guan Yu escorted the two sister-in-laws out of Xingyang overnight.But Wang Zhi refused to let Guan Yu go, and led his troops to chase and kill Guan Yu.Guan Yu was furious and killed Wang Zhi again.

At the Yellow River Ferry, there was guard Qin Qi blocking the way, and Guan Yu also hacked to death with a knife.At this time, Sun Gan quickly rushed to tell Guan Yu that Liu Bei had gone to Runan.So Guan Yu decided to go to Runan to meet Liu Bei.

Guan Yu had just walked a few steps when Cao Cao's general Xiahou Dun chased after him.Guan Yu fought Xiahou Dun.After just a few blows, Zhang Liao came with Cao Cao's order. Zhang Liao told Xiahou Dun not to block Guan Yu.Xiahou Dun had no choice but to let Guan Yu and his party leave.

Guan Yu also took in a strong man Zhou Cang on the way, and Zhou Cang specially carried the Qinglong Yanyue Sword for Guan Yu.A group of them came to Mount Mangdang.Zhang Fei was stationed at Mount Mangdang.Zhang Fei thought that Guan Yu had surrendered to Cao Cao, and refused to recognize Guan Yu.In order to show his loyalty to Liu Bei, Guan Yu killed Cai Yang who came from Xuchang to pursue Guan Yu.

At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei learned that Liu Bei had returned to Yuan Shao.Guan Yu asked Zhang Fei to guard the ancient city and go to join Liu Bei by himself.Liu Bei and Guan Yu met Zhao Yun on the way back to the ancient city.The three were very happy, and Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei ever since.

Liu Bei led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun to recruit troops in Runan, preparing to make a comeback and regain their glory.
