When Zhou Yuanfu said these words, both Guan Yu and Cui Niupi were stunned, and then Cui Niupi started laughing again.
Zhou Yuanfu explained seriously, "Yun Chang usually rides on a horse. If the brocade robe is too long, it will be inconvenient for fighting. The length of this robe is just right, and you can also see the intention of the person who gave the brocade robe."
Hearing this explanation, Guan Yu's eyes grew hot. If Zhou Yuanfu also teased him, he would be ashamed, but he would have a rift with Zhou Yuanfu from then on. Now Zhou Yuanfu not only did not laugh at him, but instead came to his rescue, which moved Guan Yu very much. The eldest brother is the eldest brother,
Never take pleasure in belittling others and promoting yourself!
"Brother, I'm convinced. Even the sixth one is dressed like this, so you can cover it up for him. Well, even if you say the brocade robe is right, you can't cover it up when wearing straw sandals on a snowy day, right?" Cui Niubi still said.
Not convinced.
"Well-worn straw sandals are a treasure in winter!" Zhou Yuanfu said while looking at the straw sandals worriedly, thinking of solutions quickly.
"Brother, I have never heard of what you are saying. Even a poor family would get some rabbit skins and put them on their feet in winter. These feet are no better than others. Wearing straw sandals in the winter will give you frostbite.
I can't even walk. By the way, Lao Liu, are your feet made of iron and not cold?"
Cui Niupi began to study the soles of Guan Yu's feet again, and Guan Yu kicked him angrily.
Zhou Yuanfu had already thought of his words, "It's because you have little knowledge. It is said that there are three treasures in the Northeast, and there are three treasures in Liaodong. Have you heard of them?"
Cui Niupi looked confused, "Liaodong is too remote. I've never been there, but I heard it's quite cold there, even colder than Liangzhou."
"Well, the three treasures of Liaodong refer to mink fur and ginseng and ulak grass. Needless to say, mink fur and ginseng, ulak grass is a treasure. It is used to make straw shoes. It can be worn warm in winter." Zhou Yuanfu was far-fetched.
said.
Cui Niubi laughed again, "Brother, I haven't read a book, and I don't have that much knowledge. I've never seen the urala grass you mentioned, but what Lao Liu is wearing is definitely not urah grass, and I can see Lao Liu's feet.
It’s frozen solid now.”
Guan Yu looked at Zhou Yuanfu gratefully and kicked Cui Niubi with his feet.
"Okay, this must be Liu Bei's affection for Yunchang. Brother Cui, please don't laugh at me." Zhou Yuanfu really couldn't see Guan Yu's embarrassment, so he stopped Cui Niubi, then turned to Guan Yu and said, "Yunchang, although you are so kind,
It's hard to say, but it's really not appropriate to wear such straw sandals in the ice and snow. If your feet are really frozen by then, it will be inconvenient to march and fight. How about you put the straw sandals away and wait until the weather gets warmer before wearing them again."
Zhou Yuanfu's words were more to the point. Guan Yu also felt a slight chill under his feet. At that time, his head was hot and he put it on. He was not a person with feet made of steel, iron, bones and stone, so he bowed and said yes.
Cui Niubi wasted no time in bringing a pair of boots for Guan Yu. Zhou Yuanfu chuckled and said: "If Yun Chang has a special liking for straw sandals, I can send someone to Liaodong to get some urala grass and ask your brother to make a pair for you. This way
It’s a good story without missing a single step!”
"Isn't it just a pair of straw sandals? If you can tell me a great story about a single step, wouldn't it be too flattering for Liu Bei?" Cui Niubi laughed again.
Zhou Yuanfu asked: "Does Brother Cui know the origin of the word 'one step'?"
Cui Niupi was confused.
"Come on, brother, let's talk while drinking."
As soon as Cui Niupi saw that there was a story to listen to, he immediately poured wine and even grabbed a chicken leg to chew on it.
The three brothers sat down, with the charcoal fire blazing, and Zhou Yuanfu told them the story of his steps.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chong'er, the prince of Jin State, was on the run, and a group of ministers followed him around. Once he fled to a place, everyone was hungry and cold, but had no food. One of them, Jie Zitui, brought broth. After Chong'er finished eating
He was very satisfied. Later, he learned that Jie Zitui had cut off his own thigh meat to make soup for him to eat. Chong'er was very moved and said on the spot that he would reward him heavily in the future.
When Chong'er returned to his country to inherit the throne and became the famous Duke Wen of Jin, one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, he generously rewarded the ministers who fled with him, but forgot to reward Jie Zitui. Jie Zitui left in despair and lived in seclusion in Mianshan with his mother.
Later, Chong'er was reminded of this incident, so he sent someone to invite Jie Zitui to push him out of the mountain to be rewarded. At this time, Jie Zitui was so disheartened that he refused to go out. Chong'er had no choice but to set fire to the mountain, hoping to force Jie Zitui out.
Unexpectedly, Jie Zitui would rather die than come out, so he hugged a tree and was burned to death in the mountains. Chong'er heard this and was so sad that he cut down the tree and made clogs to wear on his feet. Whenever he thought of Jie Zitui, he would say,
"Sad, step down!"
"So, later generations use "step" as an honorific to address respected people. I guess Liu Bei also meant this when he gave Yunchang straw sandals." Zhou Yuanfu sighed after telling the story.
Guan Yu had already been moved to tears. If Zhou Yuanfu hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have realized the profound meaning.
"This Chong'er is really cruel!" Cui Niubi said bitterly, "Jie Zitui cut off meat for him to eat, but he didn't even remember. It was just not a reward, but he was set on fire and burned to death.
He stepped on it under his feet. If it hadn't been for Big Brother's reminder, Liu Bei probably wouldn't have thought that Liu Bei was this kind of person, right? He gave you straw sandals. On the one hand, he wanted to freeze your feet and make you unable to do things for Big Brother. On the other hand, he hinted that sooner or later there would be
One day I will trample you under my feet!”
Guan Yu and Zhou Yuanfu were both stunned after hearing this. This Cui Niuxi's brain circuit is really very long!
"Brother, that's not what you meant." Guan Yu didn't know how to refute, so he could only mutter.
"It means you are real people and have been deceived by Chong'er's hypocrisy. Let me ask you, if you sincerely asked someone to come out of the mountain, would you set fire to him or kneel down and beg him?" Cui Niubi said sincerely, "You can set fire to the mountain.
Those who force others to leave the mountain for some reason are all evil-hearted. Liu Bei, my brother is not telling you, but you have to be careful of your elder brother Liu Bei. Who can let you wear straw sandals in winter, can you still be a good person? I guess in his heart
I already hate you so much!"
This time, Cui Niubi was not sarcastic. He suddenly turned into a big brother who taught earnestly and earnestly, which made Guan Yu find it hard to accept. It was just a pair of straw sandals. Could it be that Brother Liu Bei really had so many thoughts?
"Brother, there is something going on at the rebel camp!" Zhang Liao walked in, followed by several other brothers.
"Oh, how about it?" Zhou Yuanfu also became serious when he heard about the military situation.
"About five to six thousand people came out from the opposite side. It seems that they are coming towards us. According to your previous instructions, we have withdrawn all the rangers outside."
"These people are really hardworking. They come here to rob the camp instead of resting in the snow and ice. They are just looking for death!"
Zhou Yuanfu stood up suddenly.
"Brother, these rebels are coming towards us. They obviously know that our foothold is not stable and want to attack us by surprise. If we don't teach you a lesson this time, I'm afraid they will come again next time!" Cui Niubi also said fiercely.
"Guan Yu invites you to fight!"
"Zhang Liao invites you to fight!"
"Gan Ning invites you to fight!"
"We all invite you to fight!"
"Okay, let them know today how powerful our brothers are when we work together!" Zhou Yuanfu laughed loudly.
…
"Have you clearly remembered the place where Zhou Cang and the others camped?" Marquis Li Wen asked for the last time.
A primary school student said with certainty: "The villain can see clearly during the day. They are three hundred steps away from here. I even specially marked them."
"Okay, if you win this battle, you should be credited with the first contribution!" Marquis Li Wen patted him on the shoulder, and the principal hurriedly bowed to express his thanks.
Marquis Li Wen gathered eight of his generals together and whispered: "We have a horse and a bell, and the enemy should not notice us here. Haha, letting Zhou Cang die here today will also show the majesty of our Liangzhou heroes!"
After a while, everyone just rushes up and tramples all the military camps outside the city to pieces. When you go back, I will reward you with money, wine and women!"
Upon hearing this, all the generals were gearing up and clasping their fists to receive orders.
Li Wenhou pointed to two relatively shorter generals and said: "You two lead a thousand cavalry to lead the battle, and I will lead the others to follow. Remember, you must sweep over the sheep like the wind on the grassland, and don't worry about which tent."
The bitches stay!"
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.
Seeing that the military spirit was ready, Li Wenhou waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
The two young generals turned around and left to lead the charge.
"General, why do you let those two boys take the lead? You say I am the vanguard officer!" A burly man bowed and asked Li Wenhou.
"You know what a sheep egg is, I have my own arrangements!" Marquis Li Wen scolded, and the man retreated without daring to talk back.
Li Wenhou felt proud that even if Zhou Yuanfu was ambushed, he sent the two weakest generals as vanguards. If these two people died, he would be able to escape the disaster, hehe.
The front army began to charge. The horses' hooves were covered with anti-slip materials, and the sound of tapping on the ground became duller. The horse speed gradually increased, and they rushed directly towards the enemy camp. The cavalry at the front was in misery. They just saw the high wall in front of them clearly.
At that moment, they hit it head-on, breaking their muscles and bones. A few lucky ones didn't even shout out cheers, but more cavalrymen rushed up from behind, screaming again and again. So the waves of cavalrymen were like the waves of the sea.
, one after another was photographed under the high wall.
Li Wenhou didn't know the situation at this time. He just thought that the enemy had already surrendered, so he charged the troops. However, he himself was not at ease after all, so he slowed down his horse a little.
"There is a city wall in front of you, so don't come over from behind!"
When Marquis Li Wen was about to rush forward, he heard the people in front shouting. After all, he was a veteran. Although he couldn't figure out the situation in front, he instinctively turned the horse's head.
At this time, the village gate opened wide, and Zhou Yuanfu led his men to rush out from the side. Guan Yu was in a depressed mood today and wished he could kill a few more people to vent his anger, so he took the lead and was invincible to those who stood in his way. He waved the Qinglong Yanyue Sword left and right, and the Qiang cavalry were like straws.
They generally fell to both sides. Following closely behind them were Zhang Liao, Gan Ning and Xu Huang. These three were also like harvesters, no one was standing wherever they passed. Pu Hu and Du Yi protected Zhou Yuanfu from rushing in.
Behind them, thousands of barbarians were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and shouts of killing broke out all at once.
In this battle, Guan Yu finally let out all the pent-up energy in his heart. He simply killed people when he stood in his way, and killed Buddhas when he stood in his way. There was no one enemy under his command. Seeing Zhou Cangguo's plan, Li Wenhou was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to fight.
But at this time, Guan Yu led his troops to kill him. Seeing that this man's armor was different from others, he went up and slashed with his sword. Li Wenhou's huge head shot up into the sky.
"General Wenhou is dead, let's run for our lives!" When everyone saw that the general was dead, they all ran for their lives.
On the chaotic battlefield, someone shouted, "Who killed General Li? Do you dare to name me?"
Guan Yu laughed loudly: "Whoever kills Marquis Li Wen will be the leader of Guan Yunchang in Hedong!"
