Chapter 137 Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan raise troops to confront
"...Brother, I don't think Yuan Shao is a good person.
For his brother to reply like this and take his envoy back is tantamount to losing his face. Yuan Shao will definitely not let it go...
If not, let my younger brother go to Yuan Shao and have him kill him.
Anyway, what happened this time was that I issued the military order first, so it would not be an injustice if I was beheaded by him at this time.
This will also prevent things from getting out in the future and making people laugh at the world.
So as not to make things difficult for my brother.
I was humiliated by Yuan Shao for nothing!"
After Liu Bei sent away the people sent by Yuan Shao, he came back and saw Zhang Fei, who had been injured in one arm under his orders, and pulled Guan Yu who was hiding in the tent without waiting for him.
When he spoke, Guan Yu was the first to speak out.
Hearing Guan Yu say this, Liu Bei suddenly became silent and did not speak for a while.
Guan Yu, who was originally very emotional and impassioned, soon became quiet when he saw this, and he seemed a little embarrassed.
After this silence lasted for a while, Liu Bei let out a long sigh, walked up to Guan Yu, reached out and patted Guan Yu on the shoulder, and said:
"In this case, second brother, don't talk anymore. You and I are not real brothers, but we are closer than real brothers. No matter who you are, neither one of us can be compromised!"
Not to mention that I am facing Yuan Shao, even if some god comes, I will not agree!
Even if you can’t beat him, you still have to bite off two ounces of meat!”
After saying that, he turned his attention to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, please watch your second brother carefully and don't let your second brother do stupid things!
I'll go to Brother Bogui's place and see what his attitude is."
After seeing Zhang Fei nodding, Liu Bei mounted his horse, took some soldiers with him, left the camp, and headed all the way to where Gongsun Zan's soldiers and horses were.
"Second brother, don't think so much. The eldest brother will not agree to what you do, and I will not watch you be killed!
If I want to kill you, I must first pass me, Zhang Yide!
I don’t care who he is!
Yuan Shao also failed!
The worst we can do is lead our troops and horses, leave from here and return to Pingyuan County, so we don’t have to go through these troubled waters!"
After Liu Bei left, Zhang Fei said to Guan Yu.
Zhang Fei, who had always admired the noble clan, did not hesitate to make an enemy of Yuan Shao, who was the most popular person in the world and had the surname Zhong in order to Guan Yu. This shows that the relationship between him and Guan Yu is really deep.
Guan Yu nodded, stopped talking, and no longer thought about going to Yuan Shao to receive his death.
Just accept some insults, it's better than just returning to Pingyuan County with your eldest brother.
Now is the opportunity that the eldest brother is pursuing with all his heart.
If he really went back like this, and even went back in such an extremely dishonorable way, the loss would be really too great for the elder brother...
…
"...If it doesn't work, I will take my second and third brothers back to Pingyuan County... Along the way, I caused trouble to Brother Bogui and didn't help me at all..."
At the camp where Gongsun Zan was, Liu Bei came with some soldiers and horses, and said to Gongsun Zan with a face full of shame.
Gongsun Zan reached out and patted Liu Bei: "Brother Xuande, you don't have to be like this. I think Yuan Shao has been unhappy with him for a long time!
Just stay here with Yun Chang, and I will take care of the rest!
I just want to see what this guy can do!
Did he think that Yuan Shao was someone like the traitor Liu Cheng?
I can't defeat the traitor Liu Cheng, so I can't defeat him Yuan Shao?!"
When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly tried to persuade Gongsun Zan not to do this.
As a result, the more he persuaded him like this, the more enthusiastic Gongsun Zan became, and finally, the matter was settled...
After coming out of Gongsun Zan's camp and walking a long way, Liu Bei, who was riding on his horse, let out a long breath and secretly cried out in shame...
After Liu Bei left here, Gongsun Zan also began to organize his troops here. If the preparations were not enough, he would have a head-on confrontation with Yuan Shao, who was also raised by a young man!
Anyway, this person with the surname Yuan is not the only one named Yuan Shao, there is also Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongjiu who have a more orthodox origin and a more pure identity.
Not long ago, Yuan Shu, who was the legitimate son of the Yuan family, wrote to himself in a letter that Yuan Shao was just a petty caretaker and not a serious member of the Yuan family, and asked him not to follow Yuan Shao.
Invite yourself to form an alliance to defeat Dong Zhuo together.
After thinking about it for a while, Guan Jing hurriedly came over to persuade him.
After he and Gongsun Zan came to a deserted place, Guan Jing began to speak anxiously: "Lord, I think it's better to just sit back and watch Yuan Shao kill him.
After all, it was he himself who issued the military order this time, so it was only right for Yuan Shao to kill him at this time.
We are here to protect ourselves to the death, but it smells a bit haphazard.
If it spreads out, I'm afraid it will make people laugh and be looked down upon by everyone in the world.
Moreover, this is tantamount to making a bad start.
This time Guan Yuli can be exempted from punishment even if he issues a military order, so who will care about the rules in the future..."
Before Guan Jing could finish speaking, Gongsun Zan waved his hand to interrupt Guan Jing's words.
"Yun Chang is my brother Xuande's sworn brother. They are brothers and sisters. I can't just sit idly by.
Not to mention, this time on the battlefield, if Yun Chang hadn't arrived at the critical moment to block the traitor Liu Cheng, my head would have been cut off, sent to Luoyang to meet Dong Zhuo, and replaced with Nuo Da's.
Military merit.
Yun Chang is my savior, how can I sit back and watch the dog thief Yuan Shao kill him?
As for the opinions of the people in the world, what does that have to do with me, Gongsun Zan?
The one who saved me and kept me alive was not the people of the world, but Guan Yunchang!
Don't worry about military discipline. Make a special case for Yun Chang, and the sky won't fall!
From now on, if someone uses this as an excuse to break military discipline and chop a few more with a knife, everything will be fine!
Ziliang, don’t say any more about this matter!”
Guan Jing rarely encountered Gongsun Zan with such a tough attitude towards him, and after hearing what Gongsun Zan said, he stopped trying to persuade him.
After suffering successive defeats in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the alliance against Dong Zhuo, which at first seemed to be relatively united, began to loosen.
There has been a trend of internal strife...
…
"Benchu! Benchu! You must not act like this at this time!"
Just when Yuan Shao heard that Gongsun Zan had begun to reorganize his troops, he became even more angry and accelerated his army reorganization, preparing to lead his army to seize Guan Yu by force and then bring him back to kill him. Someone shouted to stop him.
In this situation, Xu You is the only one who still dares to call Yuan Shao like this in front of many people!
When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't know why Xu You, who had said nothing before, would speak out to stop him at this time...
