Cui Niubi saw Guan Yu getting into trouble step by step and thinking about the problem along his own train of thought. His heart was already filled with joy, so he pretended to sigh deeply.
"The general died a well-deserved death, but it's a shame that your two brothers went to live happily."
Guan Yu hurriedly asked with concern: "Do you know how my elder brother is doing now?"
"Liu Bei and Zhang Fei have returned to Zhuojun. The two of them did not care about you, and did not think of a way to rescue you, so they went back to their hometown."
Guan Yu was silent for a long time.
"I am the one who has implicated my eldest brother this time. The two armies are fighting, life and death are at stake, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Seeing Guan Yu's sadness, Cui Niubi was also puzzled that Liu Bei abandoned him, but there was no blame in Guan Yu's tone.
"He has abandoned you, but you are still loyal to him?"
Guan Yu exuded an air of pride when he heard this.
"My eldest brother doesn't mind that I am just a peddler and a pawn. He has sworn sworn relationship with me as a member of the imperial family. Brothers work together to create a great cause. This kind of kindness can't be repaid even if I am broken into pieces."
Cui Niubi was surprised when he heard this: "Is this Liu Bei still a member of the imperial family?"
"That's of course. My eldest brother is the great-great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of Zhongshan, so he is naturally a member of the imperial family. I heard from my eldest brother that he and the current emperor are brothers."
Cui Niupi laughed loudly when he heard this, "Of these princes, all of them have given birth to a hundred and eighty sons, and their sons have grandsons, not to mention great-great-grandsons, even great-grandsons. There are ten thousand and eight thousand. I am afraid that he will regard Liu Hong as his eldest brother."
, Liu Hong didn’t know he had such a younger brother, hahaha.”
When Guan Yu heard this, his face flushed with anger, and he had no way to refute. If Han Emperor Liu Hong recognized this younger brother, how could his eldest brother be reduced to selling straw sandals, so he drank in silence.
When Cui Niubi saw that Guan Yu was silent again, he pretended to ask: "I wonder what the oaths you made when you swore sworn vows were made?"
"I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day. I am really ignorant, why do I need to ask about such things?"
Cui Niupi deliberately prolonged his voice and said: "Well, General Guan will die tomorrow. I have pity on your two brothers. They will probably die together with you to fulfill their promise. This kind of brotherhood is really gratifying and congratulatory."
Guan Yu sneered and said: "General Cui, don't provoke me with these words. After I die, my elder brother will definitely avenge me!"
Cui Niubi laughed again, "I heard that General Guan is very skilled in martial arts and is the best among the three of you, but my eldest brother still restrained you with one move. Who do you think Liu Bei or Zhang Fei can avenge you?
Sometimes I can't get my revenge, but I lose my life, hahaha."
Guan Yu was speechless and his face turned even redder with anger. He picked up his wine glass and drank again, no longer paying attention to Cui Niubi.
Seeing that Guan Yu was already a bit drunk, Cui Niubi continued to say in a lowly manner: "You three brothers are all heroes of the moment. Since Liu Bei often claims to be the head of the imperial family, he must have great ambitions. Alas, unfortunately, the luck is not good, and he has not achieved any achievements.
.When your three brothers meet under the spring, they will probably just hug each other and cry, hahaha."
Guan Yu was used to drinking low-alcohol rice wine. After drinking this kind of strong wine, he really felt a little dizzy. Hearing this, he felt ashamed and angry. His face turned red as if he was about to drip blood, and he stared with a pair of big eyes.
Wearing Cui cowhide.
Cui Niupi was stared at so hard that he had no choice but to avoid Guan Yu's eyes and pretend to lower his head while drinking. He thought to himself, Guan Yu, Guan Yu, my eldest brother said you are a good man, if you get angry now, then I will die unjustly.
The atmosphere was stagnant, and the air seemed to be frozen. Cui Niupi calmly drank the wine.
"When the general dies tomorrow, it will be over, but the general's reputation for loyalty will be completely ruined."
Guan Yu couldn't help but asked curiously: "How do you say this?"
"After the death of General Guan, if Liu Bei and Zhang Fei avenge you, they will definitely follow in your footsteps. If they don't avenge you, it will be unkind and unjust. A man is born between heaven and earth. If he leaves his name in history after his death, his name will be known forever.
.If he dies so easily and puts two brothers in trouble, how can we talk about loyalty?"
Guan Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and he was struggling fiercely in his heart, but he finally sighed.
"I already know what you want. If you want me to surrender, it's not impossible. But you have to obey three things from me, otherwise Guan would rather die than surrender!"
Cui Niupi was overjoyed. He thought that his elder brother valued Guan Yu so much that he could get not just three but thirty items. He hurriedly responded: "Promise, promise. If you have any requests, you can take care of them yourself."
Guan Yu said seriously: "First, we three brothers swore to support the Han Dynasty together. Now even if I surrender, I will surrender to Zhoucang instead of the Yellow Turban bandits. I cannot slander my name; secondly, now my eldest brother Liu is suffering from me."
If I am implicated, I am afraid that there will be no hope of reward. No matter what method Zhou Cang uses, he must find a county magistrate position for my eldest brother within three years to show his lifelong ambition. Thirdly, in today's changing world, this city must not be defended for a long time.
If General Zhou still has no foothold within five years, I will still go to my eldest brother."
Although Cui Niupi knew that the conditions were harsh, Niupi was the one who boasted about it, so he patted his chest and agreed on behalf of Zhou Yuanfu. But when he thought of the third condition, he felt embarrassed.
"General Guan has put forward many conditions, so I will add one more. General Guan is a loyal man, and I admire him very much. Since General Guan is willing to surrender, then why don't we all join in our sworn sworn vows!"
Guan Yu was astonished and said: "I have already sworn sworn sworn vows with my eldest brother and Yide, how can I sworn sworn vows with you again?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, let's talk about it. I used to be sworn sworn brothers with my eldest brother Zhang Niujiao, and later I swore sworn sworn vows with my eldest brother Zhou. We have agreed in advance that we will only sworn sworn vows with you, not Liu Bei and Zhang Fei."
Guan Yu thought for a while and felt that this request was not too much, so he sighed and agreed.
Cui Niubi kept Guan Yu in prison temporarily and went to report to Zhou Yuanfu himself.
When Zhou Yuanfu heard that Cui Niubi actually asked Guan Yu to surrender, he was completely impressed by Cui Niubi.
"The first two don't matter, but the last one, if there is no place for Guan Yu to stand up in five years, if Guan Yu really goes to Liu Bei, he will really lose his wife and lose his troops."
"Five years is still a long time. With my eldest brother's intelligence, are you still afraid that you won't be able to create a career?"
Zhou Yuanfu thought to himself that the purpose of conquering Guan Yu was to have a powerful bodyguard. Each of his brothers had their own strengths, but when it came to martial arts and marching, none of them could excel. Looking at it now, it was like signing a five-year contract with Guan Yu.
Annual employment contract. Guan Yu is Liu Bei's angel investor, but he has become a high-level wage earner hired by himself. Why is there such a big gap between this person and others?
Cui Niubi saw that Zhou Yuanfu didn't respond for a moment, so he continued: "Don't worry, brother, I also asked him to sworn sworn brothers with us, and he agreed. If he is really so loyal to you, how could he leave after we have been together for a long time?
Woolen cloth?"
Zhou Yuanfu also burst out laughing when he heard this.
…
A few days later, Zhang Bao sent someone to invite Zhou Yuanfu to discuss matters. When Zhou Yuanfu arrived, the hall was already full of generals, big and small, and everyone looked sad.
A primary school principal was kneeling down to report to Zhang Bao.
"On that day, I received a military report and learned that General Tiangong died on the battlefield. General Renggong cried and fainted on the spot. After waking up, he ordered his troops to fight with the officers and soldiers outside the city. After Dong Zhuo was dismissed from office, the old thief Lu Zhi reorganized the army and horses.
The morale of the thief officers and soldiers was high, and we failed to take advantage of this battle. General Renggong returned to his mansion and drank to drown his sorrows all day long. Unexpectedly, the thief officers and soldiers took advantage of our lax defenses to attack the city in the early morning two days ago.
Most of the people were in a dream, and for a while everyone was in chaos. The officers and soldiers took the opportunity to kill, and countless of our brothers died tragically..."
After saying this, the primary school student started to cry.
Zhang Bao said anxiously: "Don't cry, tell me quickly, what happened in the end? What happened to my third brother?"
