Chapter 28: Killing the Cai Yang brothers to clear up doubts
But he said that Guan Gong and Sun Ganbao's second sister-in-law marched towards Runan. Xiahou Dun led more than 300 cavalry and chased him from behind. Sun Ganbao's car was on the way. Guan Gong turned around and pulled his horse and asked, "You are here to drive me to death, and you have lost the prime minister's magnanimity." Xiahou Dun said, "The Prime Minister has no Mingwen reports. You killed someone on the road and killed my generals. It's too rude! I'll capture you and give me a chance to fall down!" After saying that, he slapped the horse and raised his gun to fight.
I saw a cavalry flying from behind and shouted, "Don't fight with Yun Chang!" Guan Gong pressed the reins and kept moving. He came to take out the official documents in his arms and said to Xiahou Dun, "The Prime Minister respects and loves General Guan Zhongyi, and is afraid of intercepting the pass, so he sent someone to bring the official documents and travel everywhere." Dun said, "Guan killed the soldiers on the road, do the Prime Minister know?" The envoy said, "This is unknown." Dun said, "I will only capture him alive and go to the Prime Minister to let him go." Guan Gong said angrily, "I am not afraid of you!" He slapped the horse and held a knife and took Xiahou Dun straight.
Dun came to meet him with his spear. The two horses intersected and fought for less than ten rounds. Suddenly another horse flew over and shouted, "Two generals, stop!" Dun stopped the spear and asked the envoy, "Does the Prime Minister call to capture Guan?" The envoy said, "No. The Prime Minister is afraid that the generals guarding Guan blocked Guan General, so he sent a document to release him." Dun said, "Does the Prime Minister know that he was killing people on the road?" The envoy said, "No." Dun said, "Since he didn't know that he killed someone, he should not let him go." Commanded his soldiers, surrounded Guan Gong and Zhu Guan Gong, and danced his sword to fight. The two were about to confront each other, and one person came from behind the formation and shouted, "Yun Chang, Yuan Rang, don't fight!" Everyone looked at him, and it was Zhang Liao. Both of them held the horses. Zhang Liao said, "According to the Prime Minister's order, I heard that Yun Chang was killed by Guan Gong. The general was afraid that there would be a road blockage, so I sent me to pass the passes everywhere and let him go. "Dun said, "Qin Qi is Cai Yang's nephew. He entrusted Qin Qi to my place, but now he was killed by Guan, how could he rest?" Liao said, "I will break it up when I see General Cai. Since the prime minister is generous, I will teach Yun Chang to leave. Gong and others should not abolish the prime minister." Xiahou Dun had no choice but to retreat to the general. Liao said, "Where Yun Chang wants to go now?" Guan Gong said, "I heard that my brother is not in Yuan Shao's place, so I will look for him all over the world." Liao said, "I don't know where Xuande is, and I will go back to see the prime minister again, what?" Guan Gong laughed and said, "How is that right! Wen Yuan returned to see the prime minister, but fortunately apologizes for me." After saying that, he bowed and left with Zhang Liao. So Zhang Liao and Xiahou Dun led the army back.
Guan Gong caught the car battle and told Sun Gan that he knew about it. The two of them walked together. After several days of travel, it was raining heavily and their luggage was wet. Looking at a manor beside the hillside, Guan Gong led the car battle to the other side of the house. An old man in the house went out to greet him. Guan Gong had his intention to come.
The old man said, "I was named Guo, and I lived here forever. I heard of the great name for a long time, so I was lucky to visit him." Then he slaughtered a sheep and treated her wine, and asked the second wife to rest in the back hall. Guo Chang accompanied Guan Gong and Sun Gan to drink in the cottage. While baking luggage, he fed horses. At dusk, he suddenly saw a young man. He led several people into the cottage and went straight to the cottage. Guo Chang called, "My son came to pay homage to the general." He said, "This is a fool." Guan Gong asked where he came from. Chang said, "I went back to hunting." The young man had seen Guan Gong and went down to the cottage. Chang said, "I farmed and studied and passed on the family, and only gave birth to this son. He did not do his job, but only took hunting as a matter of misfortune!" Guan Gong said, "In today's troubled times, if you are skilled in martial arts, you can also gain fame. Why is it unlucky?" Chang said, "If he is willing to practice martial arts, he is a person with ambition.
Now I am specializing in wandering and doing everything: I am worried!" Guan Gong also sighed.
When it became deeper, Guo Chang refused. Guan Gong and Sun Gan Fang wanted to sleep, but suddenly heard the horses neighing in the backyard. Guan Gong urgently called the follower, but he didn't respond, so he took a sword with Sun Gan and looked at him. He saw Guo Chang's son lying on the ground and shouting. The follower was fighting with the visitor. The follower asked why. The follower said, "This person came to steal the red rabbit horse, and was kicked down by the horse. We heard the call and got up to patrol the patrol, and the shopkeepers came to make trouble." The two said angrily, "How dare the rat thieves steal my horse!" Just as it was about to happen, Guo Chang ran to him and said, "I have a bad job for this, and I will die for all my crimes! But my wife loved this son the most and begged the general to be kind and forgive me!" Guan Gong said, "This son is indeed unworthy. As the old man said, I really know that there is no son better than my father. I look at the face of my husband, and I will forgive him." Then he gave the follower to look at the horse, drank the rest patrol, and went back to the grass cottage with Sun Gan to rest.
The next day, Guo Chang and his wife came out to pay their respects to the hall, thanking him, "The dog son is robbing the power of the tiger, and deeply grateful to the general." Guan Gong ordered him to call out, "I will teach him with righteous words." Chang said, "At the fourth update, he led several rogues and didn't know where to go." Guan Gong thanked Guo Chang, and took the second sister-in-law into the car, left the courtyard, and accompanied Sun Gan, protected the carriage, and walked on the mountain road. Less than thirty miles away, he saw more than a hundred people coming out from behind the mountain, and led two horses: the man in front was wrapped in yellow turbans and wearing a battle robe; the back was Guo Chang's son. The yellow turbans said, "I am the general Zhang Jiao of the Heavenly King! Those who come will leave the red rabbit horse and let you go!" Guan Gong laughed and said, "Ignorance and crazy thief! You have come from Zhang Jiao As a thief, he also knows whether the names of brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang? "The Yellow Turban said, "I only heard that the red face and long beard are named Guan Yunchang, but I didn't know his face. Who are you?" The duke stopped the knife and stood up, untied his beard, and asked him to look at him. The man rolled his saddle and got off the horse, and grabbed Guo Chang's son and offered him to the horse. Guan Gong asked his name and said, "I have a surname Pei, named Yuan Shao. Since Zhang Jiao's death, he has never had a master, and he gathered in the mountains and forests, and he hid here. This morning, this guy came to report: A guest rode a thousand-mile horse and stayed in my house. He specially invited someone to rob the horse. He didn't expect to meet a general." Guo Chang's son begged for his life. Guan Gong said, "I will see your father's face and spare your life!" Guo Zi ran away with his head.
The Duke said to Yuan Shao, "If you don't know my face, how can you know my name?" Yuan Shao said, "There is a Wouniu Mountain twenty miles away. There is a Guanxi man on the mountain, with his surname Zhou and his name is Cang. His arms are powerful with a thousand pounds, and his ribs are curly beards, which are very impressive. He was originally a general under the Yellow Turban Zhang Bao's subordinates. Zhang Bao died and gathered in the mountains and forests. He often told someone that the general was famous and he had no way to meet him." Guan Gong said, "There is no place for heroes to support him in the green forest. You can go away evil and return to justice in the future, and do not trap him." Yuan Shao thanked him.
While he was talking, he looked at a man from afar. Yuan Shao said, "This must be Zhou Cang." Guan Gong then waited immediately. As soon as he saw a man with a long face and long body, he rode a gun and led the crowd to come. When he saw Guan Gong, he was surprised and said, "This is General Guan!" He quickly got off his horse and said, "Zhou Cang visited." Guan Gong said, "Where did the hero know Guan Mou come?" Cang said, "When he was with the Yellow Turban Zhang Bao, he knew Guan Yan. I hated the thief party and could not follow him. I am fortunate to see him today. I hope that the general will not abandon him and take him as a infantryman, and hold a whip and stirrups in the morning and evening, and he will be willing to die!" Seeing that his intention was sincere, he said, "If you follow me, what will your subordinates accompany you?" Cang said, "If you want to follow me, you will follow me; if you don't want to follow me, you can listen to it." So everyone said, "Want to follow me." Guan Gong then got off the horse and came to the carriage and asked his second sister-in-law.
Mrs. Gan said, "My uncle left Xudu and walked here alone on the road. He has experienced so many difficulties. He has never asked the army and horses to follow him. In the past, Liao Hua wanted to join forces, but now he has rejected him. Why do you only accept Zhou Cang's people? My daughter is superficial, and I will consider it." The Duke said, "My sister-in-law's words are the words." Then he said to Zhou Cang, "It's not that Guan is not affectionate, but the second wife will not follow. You will go back to the mountain and wait for me to find my brother, and you will come to call each other." Zhou Cang paused his head and said, "Cang is a rough man, who is a thief; now he meets the general, as if he sees him again.
How could I bear to miss it again? If it is inconvenient to follow everyone, I can ask them to go with Pei Yuanshao. Cang walks alone and follows the general, even though he will never refuse!" Guan Gong told his second sister-in-law again. Mrs. Gan said, "It is okay to follow one or two people." The Duke then ordered Zhou Cang to send people to accompany Pei Yuanshao. Yuanshao said, "I also want to follow General Guan." Zhou Cang said, "If you leave, everyone will scatter; and when you are in power, I will go with General Guan, but I have a place to stay, so I will come to pick you up." Yuan Shao left reluctantly.
Zhou Cang followed Guan Gong to Runan. After several days of travel, he saw a mountain city from a distance. The Duke asked the natives: "Where is this?" The natives said: "This is called the ancient city. A few months ago, a general named Zhang and Fei, who led dozens of cavalry to here, drove the county magistrates away, occupied the ancient city, recruited troops to buy horses, and stored grass and grain. Now there are three or five thousand people gathered, and no one dared to fight from all over the world." Guan Gong said happily, "My brother was separated from Xuzhou and has never known whereabouts, so who would have thought he would be here!" So he ordered Sun Qian to enter the city first to report and teach him to welcome his second sister-in-law.
However, Zhang Fei lived in Mangdang Mountain for more than a month. Because he went out to find out the news about Xuande, he occasionally passed by the ancient city. He went to the county to borrow grain. The county magistrate refused, so Fei was furious, so he drove away the county magistrate, seized the county seal, occupied the city, and settled his power. On that day, Sun Qian took Guan Gong's order and entered the city to see Fei. After the salute, he said, "Xuande left Yuan Shao's place and went to Runan. Now Yun Changzhi sent the two wives from Xudu to here, so please go out to greet him." After hearing this, Zhang Fei did not reply, and then put on his horse with a spear, leading more than a thousand people to go out of the north gate. Sun Qian was surprised.
, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to come out of the city. When Guan Gong saw Zhang Fei coming, he was overjoyed. Fu Dao met Zhou Cang and slapped the horse to greet him. Zhang Fei opened his eyes wide, stood up his tiger's beard, and roared like thunder, and waved his spear to Guan Gong. Guan Gong was shocked and flashed by quickly, and shouted, "Why are you doing this? Did you forget the friendship between Taoyuan?" Fei shouted and said, "Since you have no righteousness, what are you looking for to meet me!" Guan Gong said, "How can I be unrighteous?" Fei said, "You have been betrayed your brother, surrendered to Cao Cao, and granted a title to the marquis. Now you are here to earn me again!
I'll fight you to death now!" Guan Gong said, "You don't know! I can't say it. Now I'm leaving my two sisters-in-law here. Please ask yourself." The second wife heard it, she opened the curtain and shouted, "Why is the third uncle like this?" Fei said, "Sister-in-law lives. Let's see I killed the righteous man, and then ask my sister-in-law to enter the city." Mrs. Gan said, "Second uncle is not sure where you are waiting, so she lives in Cao. Now I know that your brother is in Runan, so I don't avoid any obstacles and send us here. Don't meet the third uncle by mistake." Mrs. Mi said, "The second uncle is in Xudu.
, It was out of helplessness. "Fei said, "Sister-in-law, don't be deceived by him! A loyal minister would rather die than be humiliated. How can a real man have the right to do the two masters!" Guan Gong said, "Don't let me down." Sun Qian said, "Yun Chang came to look for the general." Fei shouted, "However, you are talking nonsense! He has kind intentions, so he must come to capture me!" Guan Gong said, "If I catch you, I must bring my army and horses." Fei pointed his finger and said, "It's not the army and horses!" Guan Gong looked back, and saw that the dust rose, a bunch of people came. The wind blew the flag, and it was Cao's army.
Zhang Fei was furious and said, "Do you still dare to stammer now?" He pushed the snake spear and rushed to the future. Guan Gong stopped him quickly and said, "My brother, stay. Look at me killing this general to show my sincerity." Fei said, "If you have sincerity, I will finish the three drums here. I will kill you!" Guan Gong responded to the promise. After a moment, Cao's army arrived. The leader was Cai Yang, and he pushed his sword and drove his horse and shouted, "You killed my nephew Qin Qi, but it turned out to be here! I am ordered by the Prime Minister and come to take you!" Guan Gong did not even speak, and raised his sword and slashed. Zhang Fei was close to him. He beat the drums. Before the drums were finished, the head of Cai Yang had already landed on the ground where Guan Gong's sword started. All the soldiers left. Guan Gong captured the young soldiers holding the flag-recognizing the flag and asked the reason. The young soldiers told him: "Cai Yang was very angry when he heard that the general had killed his nephew and was about to come to Hebei to fight with the general. The prime minister refused and sent him to Runan to attack Liu Pi. He did not want to meet the general here." Guan Gong heard this and told Zhang Fei to tell the matter. Fei General Guan Gong asked the young soldiers in detail about the current affairs in Xudu. The young soldiers said it from beginning to end, and Fei believed it.
As he was just talking, the soldiers in the city came to report: "There are dozens of cavalry outside the south gate of the city, and I don't know who they are." Zhang Fei was worried, so he turned out to the south gate to look, and saw dozens of cavalry coming with light bows and short arrows. When he saw Zhang Fei, he rolled off his horse and got off his horse. He looked at him and said, "I have been separated from Xuzhou, and my brothers fled back to their hometown. I asked people from far and near, and I knew that Yun had surrendered to Cao Cao, and the lord was in Hebei. I also heard that Jian Yong also went to Hebei. I didn't know that the general was here. Yesterday, I was on the road. The emperor met a group of guests and said that there was a general named Zhang. He looked like this. Now according to the ancient city, my brother must be a general, so he came to visit him. Fortunately, we met him!" Fei said, "Brother Yun and Sun Gan sent their second sister-in-law to the arrival, and they knew whereabouts of their brother." Ermi was overjoyed and came to see Guan Gong and met with the second wife. Fei then invited his second sister-in-law into the city. He sat in the yamen. The second wife told him about Guan Gong's Gregorian affairs. Zhang Fei cried and visited Yun Chang. Both of them were sad. Zhang Fei also told him about his farewell and held a banquet to congratulate him.
The next day, Zhang Fei wanted to go to Runan with Duke Guan to meet Xuande. Duke Guan said, "Your brother can protect your second sister-in-law and stay in this city temporarily. Wait for me and Sun Gan to find out the news about my brother." Fei promised. Duke Guan and Sun Gan led several cavalry to Runan. Liu Pi, Gongdu followed, Duke Guan asked, "Where is the emperor?" Liu Pi said, "The emperor has been here for several days. In order to see the young army, he went to Yuan Ben's first place in Hebei to discuss." Duke Guan was unhappy. Sun Gan said, "Don't worry. After a while, he drove to Hebei to report to the emperor's uncle and went to the ancient city together." Duke Guan resigned Liu Pi and Gongdu, returned to the ancient city, and told Zhang Fei that he knew about this.
Guan Gong said, "There is this city, which is where we can rest. We should not abandon it easily. I went to Yuan Shao with Sun Gan to find my brother and come here to meet. My brother can stick to this city." Fei said, "Brother beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou, how can I get there?" Guan Gong said, "It's okay. When I go to him, I should change my situation." Then he called Zhou Cang and asked, "How many people are there in Pei Yuanshao in Woniu Mountain?" Cang said, "There are about four or five hundred." Guan Gong said, "I will take a shortcut to find my brother. You can go to Woniu Mountain to recruit this group of people and horses from the main road." Cang took the order and left.
Guan Gong and Sun Gan came to Hebei with only more than 20 cavalry. When they were about to reach Jieshou, Gan said, "The general has not been able to enter lightly, so they can only take a break here. Wait until someone comes in first to see the emperor's uncle, so they don't discuss it." Guan Gong followed the words and sent Sun Gan to the first place. Looking at a village in front of him, he stayed with people from the village. An old man in the village came out with a staff and greeted Guan Gong. The man told him to tell the truth. The old man said, "I also have a surname, Guan, and my name is Ding. I have heard of the name for a long time, so I was lucky to visit him." So he ordered his two sons to come out and pay the deposit to Guan Gong, and the people from the village were kept in the village.
Let’s talk about Sun Gan’s horse entering Jizhou to see Xuande and talk about the previous events. Xuande said: “Jian Yong is also here, so you can secretly invite him to discuss with him.”
After a while, Jian Yong arrived and met Sun Gan, and discussed the plan to escape. Yong said, "The lord will meet Yuan Shao tomorrow, and only said he would go to Jingzhou, and said that Liu Biao would defeat Cao Cao together, so he could take the opportunity to leave." Xuande said, "This plan is great! Can you follow me?" Yong said, "I also have a plan to escape." The discussion has been decided. The next day, Xuande came to see Yuan Shao and said, "Liu Jingsheng guarded the nine counties of Jingxiang, with sufficient soldiers and food. It is appropriate to make an appointment with him and attack Cao Cao together." Shao said, "I once sent an envoy to make an appointment, but he was not willing to follow him." Xuande said, "This person is a member of the same clan and is ready to go and talk about him, and there will be no obstacles." Shao said, "If you get Liu Biao, you will defeat Liu Pi too much." So he ordered Xuande to go and ask for help. Shao said, "I recently heard that Guan Yunchang had left Cao Cao and wanted to come to Hebei. I should kill him to make a comeback. Wen Chou's hatred!" Xuande said, "Ming Gong wanted to use it in front of me, so I summoned it. Why do you want to kill it now? Yan Liang, Wen Chou was compared to two deer, and said, "I lost two deer and got one tiger, so why hate it?" Shao laughed and said, "I really love it, so I joked. You can call it again and ask it to come quickly." Xuande said, "It's okay to send Sun Gan to summon it." Shao was very happy. Xuande came out, and Jian Yong went in and said, "Xuan De would not go back. I would like to go with you: one to talk to Liu Biao together, and the other to monitor Xuande." Shao said, and ordered Jian Yong and Xuande to go together. Guo Tu advised Shao, "Liu Bei went to talk to Liu Pi, but he had not seen any success. Now he sent Jian Yong to Jingzhou together, so he would not return." Shao said, "Don't be suspicious, Jian Yong has his own knowledge." Guo Tu sighed But he said that Xuande ordered Sun Gan to leave the city and return to Guan Gong. On the other hand, he resigned Yuan Shao with Jian Yong and got out of the city. When he reached Jieshou, Sun Gan followed and went to Guanding Village. Guan Gong welcomed the door and held his hand and cried. Guan Ding led his two sons to worship before Caotang. Xuande asked his name. Guan Gong said, "This man has the same surname as his younger brother, and he has two sons: the eldest son Guan Ning, who studied literature; the second son Guan Ping, who studied martial arts." Guan Ding said, "Now I am foolish to send the second son to follow General Guan, but I don't know if he can accept it?" Xuande said, "How old is it?" Ding said, "I'm eighteen years old." Xuande said, "Since the elders are kind, my brother has not yet had a son, and now he regards a wise man as his son, what?" Guan Ding was very happy and ordered Guan Ping to take Guan Gong as his father and call Xuande as his uncle. Xuande was afraid that Yuan Shao would chase him, so he quickly packed up. Guan Ping stood up with Guan Gong. Guan Ding sent him back. Guan Gong took the way to Woniu Mountain. During the right time, he suddenly saw Zhou Cang bringing dozens of people to come with injuries. Guan Gong led him to see Xuande and asked why he was injured. Cang said, "Before he arrived at Woniu Mountain, a general came alone and fought with Pei Yuanshao. He only joined forces to stab Pei Yuanshao to death. He led all the companions to surrender and occupy the mountain village. When Cang arrived at him to attract tempting companions, only these people came over, and the rest were afraid and dared not leave without permission. Cang was angry and fought with the general. He was beaten several times in a row and was shot three times. Therefore, he came to report to his lord." Xuande said, "How is this person like? Who is his surname?" Cang said, "It's extremely majestic, I don't know his name." So Guan Gong took the horse first, Xuande was behind and went straight to Woniu Mountain.
Zhou Cang yelled at the foot of the mountain, but saw the general wearing a full dress, holding a gun and leading the crowd down the mountain. Xuande waved his whip and shouted, "Is it Zilong?" The general saw Xuande, rolled off his horse and got off his horse, and bowed to the side of the road. It turned out that it was Zhao Zilong. Xuande, Guan Gong all got off his horse and met, and asked why he got there. Yun said, "Yun left the envoy, but he didn't want Gongsun Zan to not listen to others, which led to his defeat. Yuan Shao repeatedly called Yun, but he thought Shao was not a person who used people, so he did not go. Later, he wanted to go to Xuzhou to surrender to the envoy, but he heard that Xuzhou had fallen, and Yun Chang had already returned to Cao Cao, and the envoy was at Yuan Shao's place. Yun wanted to come and compete with each other several times, but he was afraid that Yuan Shao would be strange. The sea was floating around and there was no place to stay. I happened to pass here and I met Pei Yuanshao who came down the mountain to take over my horse. Yun killed him and settled down. I heard that Yide was in the ancient city and wanted to surrender him, but I didn't know the truth. Now I am lucky to meet the envoy!" Xuande was very happy and told me about the past. Guan Gong also told me about the past. Xuande said, "I first met Zilong, and I felt nostalgic. Now I am lucky to meet each other!" Yun said, "Yun ran around everywhere and chose the master to do things. Now I have no such thing as a envoy. Now I have to follow each other and have been praised for my whole life. Even though I have lost my heart, I have no regrets." On the same day, he burned the mountain village and led everyone to the ancient city. Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang welcomed the city and worshiped each other. The second wife said that Yun Chang's affairs, and Xuande sighed.
So he killed the cattle and horses, first thanked the heaven and earth, and then sent all the troops. When Xuande saw his brothers reunited, he had no questions about his subordinates, and he had new Zhao Yun, Guan Gong got Guan Ping and Zhou Cang, and was very happy and drank for several days. Later generations wrote a poem to praise him, "At that time, his hands and feet were like divisions, and the truth was broken and the sound was gone. Today, the king and his ministers reunite, just like the dragon and tiger gathering together." At that time, Xuande, Guan, Zhang, Zhao Yun, Sun Gan, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Guan Ping, and Zhou Cang's troops led a total of four or five thousand horses in the cavalry and military academy. Xuande wanted to abandon the ancient city and guard Runan, but Liu Pi and Gong Du sent someone to invite him. So he set up his army to station in Runan, recruit troops to buy horses, and Xu Tu was not a problem to enter.
When Yuan Shao saw Xuande not returning, he was furious and wanted to raise an army to attack him. Guo Tu said, "Liu Bei is not worth worrying. Cao Cao is a strong enemy and must be eliminated. Although Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou, he was not worthy of being strong. Sun Bofuwei from Jiangdong settled Sanjiang, and the land was connected to six counties. There were many counselors and warriors. He could make people join him to attack Cao Cao together." Shao followed his words and immediately wrote a letter to send Chen Zhen as an envoy to meet Sun Ce.
