Worried about his eldest brother, Mr. Guan suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye a war horse galloping outside the city.
He hurriedly pressed his body against the city wall, held his hands on the crenels and looked out carefully.
Under the city wall, the Second Master Taishi rode his horse to an arrow's throw outside the city, reined in his horse, fired his bow and arrows like a full moon, and at the same time exhaled and shouted to the city.
"Red face, here is a letter written by your eldest brother. Read it carefully and reply as soon as possible. But if you hesitate, don't blame a certain family for leading an army to break through the city. By then, it will be too late for everything.
.”
Before he finished speaking, he loosened the two fingers of his right hand, and the arrow book tightly held between the two fingers flew straight to the top of the city with a whoosh sound, and was firmly nailed to a flagpole. The arrow tail was still trembling continuously, driving the movement.
The big flag was fluttering and waving in all directions.
The second master Guan frowned. He didn't understand what the second master Taishi meant.
If the eldest brother receives a letter, the enemy general should not deliver it to him under any circumstances. Could it be that the messenger sent by the eldest brother was not secret and was captured by the Qingzhou Army?
Even so, the Qingzhou Army would not send eldest brother's letter to Dongguan City for no reason. What is the purpose of this?
While Mr. Guan was thinking hard, someone from the primary school had already gone over to take down the arrow book, untied the hemp rope wrapped around it, flattened and unfolded the letter, and sent it to Mr. Guan respectfully.
Guan Erye tore open the cover of the letter, took out the letter paper and looked at it carefully.
After reading it from beginning to end, Mr. Guan let out an oops and fell to the ground on his back.
At the same time, blood spurted out from his mouth so high that the guards around him were so frightened that they hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
After Mr. Guan Erye fell to the ground, the red face faded away and looked like it was coated with a thin layer of gold. The golden color made his legs weak with fear.
The primary school students helped Mr. Guan up and sat up, wiping his chest and beating his back. More people gathered around, shouting indiscriminately, and some were arrogant.
He went over and tried to suppress Guan Erye among the people.
In the midst of the commotion, Mr. Guan let out a long breath: "Oh, my eldest brother, you have suffered."
There is no more description in Liu Bei's letter, just a few lines, which roughly explains the battle of Lujun. The key point is at the end. Liu Bei told Guan Yu that he had been captured by Lin Feng, and his life was only at the fingertips of others. If Guan Yu
If Guan Yu is willing to open the city and surrender, the two brothers will still have the day to meet each other. If Guan Yu insists on going his own way and is unwilling to surrender the city, then the fate between the two brothers has come to an end, and they can only meet in the next life.
When Guan Yu lowered his head and cried, lamenting Liu's big ears, Jian Yong got the news of Guan Yu's fall and hurriedly ran from the bottom of the city to the top of the city.
"Second General, are you okay? Second General!"
Jian Yong knew that Dongguan City could function normally without anyone, but Mr. Guan was indispensable.
Once Guan Erye falls ill and is unable to take charge, Dongguan City will undoubtedly be destroyed within three to five days.
So I heard that Master Guan vomited blood and fell down after receiving an arrow letter from the Qingzhou Army outside the city. Jian Yong was so frightened that he couldn't care about anything. He rushed up to the tower in three steps, and kept attacking the gods all the way.
Buddha prays, never let General Guan Er have any problems!
When Jian Yong came closer, he saw Mr. Guan's haggard and hopeless look, and his blood immediately surged upwards.
"General Guan Er, why are you doing this? My lord handed Dongguan into your hands. You didn't say that you would do your best to defend this country for my lord. Instead, because of a letter from the enemy, you were so frightened that three souls came out of your body and six gods were left without a master. What are your intentions?
for?"
What are you going to do? You are the lord's sworn brother. You cannot be fooled by the enemy's rhetoric and make a decision that makes your enemies happy!
Guan Erye raised his eyelids and glanced at Jian Yong. He didn't say anything, but just handed over the autographed letter from Liu Da'er in his hand.
He had been sworn friends with Liu Bei for many years, and he could tell at a glance that this was indeed Liu Bei's own handwriting, and there was no possibility of forgery by the Qingzhou Army.
Jian Yong took the letter in confusion, scanned it from beginning to end, crumpled the letter into a ball, glared at Guan Yu and shouted: "This is a deception used by the Qingzhou Army. The second general has been in the army all his life, how can he see it?"
Isn’t it possible that there is some fraud involved?”
Guan Erye shook his head gently: "How can I admit that my eldest brother's handwriting is wrong? Since my eldest brother has fallen into the hands of the enemy, in order to prevent the enemy from harming him, I ordered Kaicheng to surrender."
Jian Yong was so anxious that he stamped his feet: "You are confused, Second General. Even if what is said in the letter is true, as long as Dongguan City is in hand, we still have room for negotiation. Once Kaicheng surrenders and falls into the hands of the enemy, then
It’s useless to say anything, and it will be too late to regret it by then, so what can you do?”
Guan Erye looked despairing: "If our army does not surrender, if the enemy gets so angry that he hurts my eldest brother, it will be too late to regret it."
Jian Yong's face sank, and he reached out and pulled out the sword from his waist: "We must not surrender. Let me see who dares to open the city gate."
Guan Erye stood up with the help of his bodyguards. He just leaned forward and grabbed it gently. Before Jian Yong understood what was going on, the sword in his hand had already fallen into Guan Yu's hand.
"Xianhe, I know that you couldn't bear the pain of so many years of hard work to build the territory, and it fell into the hands of Lin Jun in vain. But the situation is stronger than the others. Since the eldest brother has been captured, Lu County will definitely fall. I only rely on my small Dongguan City.
, so what if we hold on?"
Jian Yong looked at the gray-faced Mr. Guan, stamped his feet vigorously, suddenly squatted down, covered his face with his hands and cried.
Guan Erye ignored Jian Yong and staggered down the city tower with the support of his bodyguards. He stood in front of the city gate and looked up at the sky. He closed his eyes and ordered in a deep voice: "Open the city gate and the top of the city will rise."
The flag is raised and lowered, we are lowering it!"
After the second master Taishi finished shooting the arrow book, he rode his horse back to his camp. He and Uncle Huang stood shoulder to shoulder at the camp gate, looking at the head of Dongguan City from a distance.
"Brother, do you think that red-faced man in the city will open the city?"
"It's hard to say, but my third brother has always been very good at predicting events. Since it is said that our army will definitely be able to enter Dongguan City today, I think that Guan Yu will not ignore his sworn brother."
"Brother is right. If the red-faced man opens the city, it will be convenient for us to compete with him in martial arts in the future."
Speaking of this, Uncle Huang's eyes suddenly shone with light, and his nostrils kept twitching in excitement.
"Guan Yu's sword skills are superb, and I have wanted to learn from him for a long time."
The two of them were talking about Guan Yu's movements in Dongguan City, when the guards around them suddenly pointed at the city head and shouted.
"General, general, the lowering flag has been hung in Dongguan City. They are ready to lower it, lower it!"
Uncle Huang raised his head and looked intently, and sure enough, on top of the Dongguan City, a white flag slowly rose, and at the same time, the golden flag embroidered with the word "Guan" was slowly lowered.
The Second Master Taishi urged his horse forward: "Brother, I will go to the city gate to accept surrender. You go back and call the third brother to prepare to enter the city."
Uncle Huang said repeatedly behind the Second Master Taishi: "Second brother, be careful, beware of the false surrender of Dongguan City."
The Second Master Taishi turned around and smiled: "Don't worry, brother, even if he pretends to surrender with a red face, as long as he opens the city gate, don't even think about closing it again."
There was no difficulty in taking over Dongguan City. In order to ensure Liu Bei's safety, Guan Yu truly surrendered sincerely.
Even though Jian Yong wanted to do something privately, Guan Yu's prestige in the army was very high. Without Guan Yu, Jian Yong could hardly command a single soldier, and naturally he would not be able to make any waves.
Lin Feng took Liu Bei into Dongguan City and stood in front of the gate of the Dongguan Prefecture. Liu Bei lowered his head and shed tears, filled with emotion.
This used to be his residence, and when he came in and out, countless people inside and outside the residence bowed to him.
Now that I am back here, I have only been away for less than half a year, but it seems like I have changed the world.
People's smiling faces no longer showed towards him, but were dedicated to the boy next to him who was nearly ten years younger than him.
Lin Feng didn't have so many emotions. He had been in and out of too many official residences, and even the palace could come and go at will, so he had long lost any feeling for these.
After stepping into the prefect's mansion, Lin Feng paused for a moment, without even turning around. He turned his back and said, "Go and invite General Guan Yuguan here. I have something to say to him."
Entering the mansion, Lin Feng asked Liu Bei to wait in the lobby while he went to the back to wash up.
After marching in the wilderness for several days, he arrived at Dongguan City and lived in a military camp. Lin Feng's body was inevitably stained with dust and sludge, and he felt very uncomfortable.
After washing up, a personal guard came over and reported: "General Guan Yu has been brought here and is waiting outside the gate of the mansion."
Lin Feng smiled: "Bring General Guan to the lobby, I will go there now."
He couldn't wait to see the scene where Liu Bei and Guan Yu brothers met.
