"Zhou Cang really built a city?" Zhang Wen said suspiciously.
"Actually, it's not really a city. It's just some earthen walls. He's not a god, so how could he build a city overnight?" Sun Jian said as casually as possible, but the shock in his heart was no worse than others.
.
"Well, even this is not easy. It's freezing cold today. I don't know what method he used. I'm going to have a look tomorrow morning." Zhang Wen was still very curious.
Sun Jian curled his lips, and Zhou Cang stole the limelight, "General, those sections of earth wall are nothing to see. Now that they have killed Marquis Li Wen by chance, how to report it to the court is a big deal!"
"Such a happy event must be reported immediately! When Zhou Cang sent someone to report the news, I quickly wrote the memorial. What do you think?"
Zhang Wen handed the bamboo slip to Sun Jian, and the ink had just dried.
Sun Jian frowned as he watched, "General, it seems inappropriate."
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Wen also frowned and asked. Li Wenhou, one of the leaders of the thieves, was executed. If this news was known to His Majesty, I don't know how happy he would be.
"The general has made no achievements in the hundred days since he took office, and Zhou Cang killed the thieves on the first day he arrived. If the Holy One doubts the general's ability because of this, then..." Sun Jian said deliberately hesitantly.
Zhang Wen chuckled and said: "I have thought about what you said, but the position of general of chariots and cavalry is not something anyone can sit in. Besides, Guan Yu killed Marquis Li Wen, and many people have seen it. If I don't
Report it according to the facts, and when His Majesty finds out about it, he will be punished."
"Guan Yu killed Marquis Li Wen, but not many people saw it. General, don't worry too much. I have already ordered people to investigate the matter carefully. At that time, Guan Yu was very fast and rushed to the front. Everyone only heard a shout, 'Kill'
Li Wenhou was the leader of the Hedong Guan Yunchang. In this way, the matter can be discussed. Let's say that Li Wenhou made a sneak attack on a snowy night and died in the chaos due to slippery snow. Wouldn't it be a good idea to regard Li Wenhou's death as an accident?" Sun Jian bowed.
He said in a low voice.
Zhang Wen had some doubts, "There are still many surrendered soldiers. What if Your Majesty inquires about them?"
"Hahaha, what's the difficulty in this matter? Just let them keep silent." Sun Jian's eyes shot out with a vicious light.
…
The brothers didn't know yet that they were being plotted, and were having a heated discussion.
"Who is Sun Jian? He has made things difficult for us many times. I really want to kill him with one knife!" Gan Ning shouted after drinking a glass of wine.
"Dong Zhuo seems to be a pretty good man. There was no water in the wine he brought. It seems that he can be dated." Xu Huang praised.
"No matter what, it is gratifying and gratifying that the eldest brother and sixth brother can be granted the title of marquis this time!" Zhang Liao said with a hint of envy.
Pu Hu and Du Yi were drinking and staggering around. After hearing this, they all congratulated Zhou Yuanfu and Guan Yu.
Only the person involved, Guan Yu, remained silent and just drank.
Zhou Yuanfu knew that he was depressed, so he reasoned that it was late at night and asked everyone to go back to their tents to sleep.
Cui Niufi said that the Chinese army's tent was warm, so he stayed there and snored like thunder when he lay down.
The others laughed and dispersed, but Guan Yu was the last.
"Yun Chang, come and have a cup of tea with me. It won't be too late before we leave." Seeing that Guan Yu was worried, Zhou Yuanfu persuaded him to stay.
The two then sat across from each other in front of several cases.
"Yun Changke is still worried about the straw sandals?" Zhou Yuanfu asked deliberately.
Guan Yu nodded when he heard this.
"That's all nonsense from Brother Cui. How can you take it seriously? There is a saying, 'Send goose feathers from a thousand miles away, and the gift is less than the intention.' Xuande has no wealth, so I can only give you straw sandals. There will be no other meanings." Zhou Yuanfu.
Said comfortingly.
Guan Yu almost cried when he heard this, "Brother, how could I not know that Cui Niupi was provoking words, but I also know that he is also for my own good. How many people are as upright and upright as big brother! If big brother says something bad about Liu Bei,
I feel better. But my eldest brother excuses Brother Liu Bei everywhere, which makes me feel really..."
"Oh, will Liu Bei say bad things about me?" Zhou Yuanfu asked after hearing this.
Guan Yu shook his head and said: "That's not true. This is also where I am in trouble!"
Zhou Yuanfu burst out laughing, "Yun Chang, what's so difficult about this? Because you treat people sincerely, others will also treat you sincerely. This changes people's hearts."
"Brother, can we stop rebelling? Wherever there are rebels, we will fight them. We and Brother Liu will protect the Han family. Brother Liu said that as long as he turns around, he is willing to lead your horse and kick the pedal!"
Guan Yu finished speaking in one breath, and then stared at Zhou Yuanfu closely.
"Liu Bei really said that?" Zhou Yuanfu asked calmly.
Guan Yu nodded again.
"Liu Bei wants to lead my horse and put it on the pedal? Haha." Zhou Yuanfu laughed.
Guan Yu didn't know why. In his opinion, although Liu Bei had great talents, he was now a white man. It was definitely impossible to lead a horse to fall off the pedal, but if Liu Bei joined Zhou Cang's command, he would soon be able to stand out with his own ability. When the time comes,
And with Zhou Cang's support, their brothers will definitely thrive.
"I have the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing to lead my horse, and Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, two peerless generals. As long as I don't rebel, this deal is still a good deal."
Zhou Yuanfu stood up and walked slowly, as if talking to Guan Yu or to himself.
Seeing that there was room for change in this matter, Guan Yu nodded excitedly, "When the time comes, both Yide and Zilong will sincerely help eldest brother, and we brothers will eradicate the traitors for the Han Dynasty together!"
"Well, this is a good suggestion." Zhou Yuanfu was still talking to himself, "I will first wipe out the Qiang rebellion in the northwest, then put down Zhang Chun's rebellion in Yuyang, and then put down the remaining Yellow Turbans in Guandong. Then the world will be at peace?!"
The excitement in Guan Yu's eyes slowly receded, and he heard the turning point in Zhou Yuanfu's mouth.
"Yun Chang, do you know why these people are rebelling? Why do these rebel thieves gather in a crowd as soon as they raise their arms? If everyone can survive, then if the rebel thieves raise their arms and raise their arms, everyone will take the initiative to send them to the government. The key is
No one can survive. The number of rebels and the strength of their power never depend on the rebels themselves, but on the court!"
"If the imperial officials govern the Qingming Festival and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, not only will I not rebel, but I will also help the imperial court to exterminate those ambitious murderers. Do you remember the Yun Chang of the Jingguan outside Quyang City? Do you still remember the Yun Chang of the Human Head outside Qixian City? The imperial court always thinks that the future will be peaceful.
If all the rebels are wiped out, the world will be at peace, but what happens in reality? The hair is like a leek, it will come back to life after being cut; the head is like a chicken, it will crow again after being cut off!"
"Yun Chang, it's not my brother and I who insist on rebelling, but the fact that the court is unjust and the officials are forcing the people to rebel, and the people have no choice but to rebel!"
This time it was Zhou Yuanfu's turn to stare at Guan Yu.
Guan Yu slowly lowered his head and sighed in his heart, why couldn't he understand what Zhou Yuanfu said. The eunuchs were in power and the emperor was fatuous. Seeing that the people's life was becoming more and more difficult day by day, those who had a way to survive naturally obeyed and allowed the government to continue to prey on them.
, there is no way to survive but to wait for someone to raise their arms and change the clouds to respond.
A pig will scream when it is hung on a hook, and a fish will squirm when it is on the chopping board, let alone a human being? Brother Liu Bei vows to protect the country of the Han family, and brother Zhou Cang is determined to overthrow the imperial court. Han and traitors are not at odds with each other!
I really wish I could cut myself in half with a sharp knife, so that half of my family can fulfill the name of loyalty!
"Brother," Guan Yu knelt down, "I have made an agreement with Brother Liu Bei. After five years, I will return to him no matter what. Please fulfill it!"
Guan Yu knelt down, and Zhou Yuanfu felt helpless. Liu Bei sent Yunchang back with an ill-fitting cloak and a few rotten straw sandals. It was really irritating! The angrier he felt, the more he respected Guan Yu as a person.
He covets glory and wealth and does not love vanity. This is the real man Guan Yu!
"Yun Chang, please rise up. I will help you as my brother." Zhou Yuanfu said helplessly, and even Guan Yu could understand the bitterness in his words.
Guan Yu felt ashamed and said bravely: "Liu Bei also asked me to ask my elder brother. My elder brother's face suddenly turned from black to white, but what famous doctor did he meet? If there is one, he is willing to spend all his money to treat Yide."
Zhou Yuanfu sneered in his heart when he heard this, Liu Bei had lost all his money, so he wanted to discount all the straw sandals? Zhang Fei's dark face was exposed to the sun, and even using sulfuric acid could not whiten it.
"Well, I did have an adventure." Zhou Yuanfu said after careful consideration. He and Lu Quan had a romantic night, which he couldn't say out loud anyway. "This is a rare thing. I guess it's hard to be like me. However, famous doctors
I do know someone, his name is Hua Tuo. If Zhang Fei can meet this person, he might ask if he can be cured."
Guan Yu silently wrote down that when he saw Zhou Yuanfu looking lonely, he felt ashamed in his heart, so he stood up and left.
Zhou Yuanfu stood in a daze while looking at the direction Guan Yu was leaving, with infinite emotion in his heart, as if Guan Yu would return to Liu Bei tomorrow.
"Brother, will you really let Liu Bei go back to Liu Bei when the time comes?"
Cui Niubi, who was originally snoring like thunder, was completely sleepless and stood beside Zhou Yuanfu and asked.
Zhou Yuanfu was not surprised, after all, Cui Niupi snored so strangely and intermittently.
Seeing Cui Niubi asking, he said thoughtfully: "Actually, it's not five years, only four years. But things will change after four years. I don't know what will happen."
"Brother, how did you know that things would change in five years?" Cui Niupi asked puzzledly.
Only then did Zhou Yuanfu come to his senses. He couldn't tell him that in 189 AD, the Ling Emperor Liu Hong died, Dong Zhuo went to Beijing to depose the emperor, and then the troubled times opened up many princes.
Therefore, he pondered for a moment and said: "According to the current situation, with repeated rebellions in various places, it is estimated that in less than five years, the world will be in chaos. By then, there will be many princes, powerful and powerful people will recruit troops, and the Central Plains will be in ruins."
"If that's the case, then we shouldn't let the sixth one go back. At that time, when all the heroes are competing, it's also the time for our brothers to show off their skills!" Cui Niubi said anxiously.
Zhou Yuanfu nodded, and he thought so. The original agreement was that if he had no place to gain a foothold within five years, Guan Yu would return to Liu Bei. Who knew that after the two met, they would go back no matter what after five years. What if
In this way, if we meet again a few times, Guan Yu will probably be recalled directly. Not good, not good.
"Brother, I have a way to make Liu Liu stay." Cui Niupi said mysteriously.
