Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 238
The next day Guan Yu rode out of the city on horseback, taking only Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, not even his entourage, and ordered his deputy to guard the city and wait for news.

The three of them rode on the road, Pei Yuanshao was still unsure, and said: "That Han Siam gathers in the mountains and forests, capricious, this invitation may not have good intentions, the general was ordered to come here to hunt for the thief, the responsibility is heavy, it is inappropriate to take the risk personally, Why don't you let Yuan Fudai and I go?"

Zhou Cang also nodded and said: "Yuan Shao is also reasonable, why not let the two of us go to the appointment."

"Haha, do you really think that Guan is that reckless and careless person?" Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "Earlier in Hedong, a certain person had a relationship with Han Xian, so this book came down to us. In the city.”

"So you have known each other for a long time?" Pei Yuanshao was taken aback and asked, "Is there any grievance?"

"It's not about grievances!" Guan Yu sighed, recalling the past on horseback, and said slowly: "In the past, a certain person who killed the whole family of the bully Lu Xiong in Hedong saved a man named Han Shouyi, and this man was Han Siam's father-in-law. , stayed at his house for one night, that's all."

"That's a kindness?" Pei Yuanshao nodded slightly, and then said again: "But I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and people's hearts are unpredictable. The general shouldn't take risks with a body of ten thousand gold. Why don't you invite him to the city for an appointment?"

Guan Yu laughed and said: "Han Siam has been in Hedong for decades, and he is the leader of Huoshan's green forest. He must put loyalty first, and he will write the letter first. If I don't go, won't people think that Guan is afraid of him?"

Zhou Cang asked: "I don't know how strong Han Siam is on the road?"

Guan Yu said: "I have sent someone to inquire. I would like to learn something about this person's name as the King of Western Swordsmen."

Zhou Cang sneered coldly: "Cut, playing big swords in front of Guan Gong, isn't this a gangster's trick?"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said: "The Baibo Valley was originally Han Siam's territory, but for some reason it was deceived by Guo Taiqiao's words, and now Yang Feng and Hu Cai are both on it. There must be two minds, and someone accepts them with faith, and does not move a single soldier, this is the so-called soldier who surrenders without fighting!"

Only then did Pei Yuanshao understand, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that the general had already prepared for it, and he was worrying too much."

Guan Yu said with a long smile: "Since I followed General Liu, I know that the righteousness of the rivers and lakes is not as good as the righteousness of the country. The power of one person is like a fish in the dragon's gate. To serve the Han Dynasty, I should win over the world's heroes and use them for the general's sake. event."

Pei Yuanshao clasped his fists to be taught, Zhou Cang looked at the Azure Dragon Saber in his hand, and also laughed loudly: "I am afraid that the general is the only one in history with such arrogance."

"That's wrong!" Guan Yu shook his head, and said to the two of them: "There are so many heroes in the world, so don't be arrogant. In the past, Lin Xiangru, a man of the Warring States, treated the monarchs and ministers of Qin as nothing. We are not as good as you." also!"

Zhou Cang snorted coldly, turned the hilt of the knife, a cold light flashed, and asked, "Lin Xiangru? Is his sword skill as good as the general's?"

"This person is just a scribe, and he has no power to restrain a chicken..."

Guan Yu looked at Longmen Mountain in the distance. There seemed to be a figure flickering on the top of the mountain. He didn't take it seriously.

On Longmen Mountain, a few minions were observing on a cliff, and saw three horses riding slowly in the distance, heading straight down the mountain, and hurriedly informed Han Xian.

Han Xian sat up abruptly under the shade of the tree, came to the rock, and asked, "Are you sure it's Guan Yunchang?"

Minoru pointed to the red rabbit horse that was like a ball of flames in the middle and said: "Boss, the one riding the red horse must be Guan Yu. The red rabbit horse appeared in front of the Hulao pass, there is no mistake."

"Guan Yunchang, there are only three people here, so bold?" Han Xian gritted his teeth for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I asked my brother to meet me on the mountain road. I have all the guys ready for me. I must give him a big blow."

"Obey!" Xiao Luo went to deliver the order.

Han Xian stood on the mountain and looked at it for a while, and saw that Guan Yu and the three of them were not in a hurry, as if they were wandering through the street. When they got closer, they saw a person on the left holding a red flag, waving in the wind, showing a big "Guan Yu". "Character.

There is only one mountain road at the foot of Longmen Mountain that leads to the top of the mountain, with cliffs on both sides. Dozens of bandits guard the gate of the village, fully armed, with bows and arrows.

When Guan Yu arrived at the door, he asked Pei Yuanshao to come forward to negotiate. He ignored the threat of the archers and urged his horse to enter calmly from the mountain.

Along the way up the mountain, there were bandits guarding every mountain pass, some showing off their might, some staring at them fiercely, but Guan Yu and the other three acted as if no one was around, chatting and laughing, as if they were really going to a banquet.

When Han Xian saw it on the top of the mountain, he was in a state of surprise. After a while, Guan Yu had arrived at the gate of the village. The two rows of knife and axemen were the elite of the mountain, all wearing leather armor.

Swords and guns framed the passage, and there was only a stone road in the middle. To pass under the sword array, you had to bow your head and walk. More than 30 stout thieves looked fiercely at Guan Yu and his party.

Seeing this, Zhou Cang was furious and wanted to urge his horse to kill him. Guan Yu raised his hand to stop him, got off his horse, pulled back his Zheng robe, and moved forward calmly with his hands behind his back.

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao hurriedly followed, one carrying the sword and the other holding the flag, guarding around Guan Yu, ready to strike at any time.

Guan Yu came to the front of the first row of blades, the blades were between the brows, and the cold air was overwhelming. He snorted coldly and took a step forward proudly with his head raised.

hula-

The expressions of the bandits in the first row changed drastically. They quickly put away their swords and watched Guan Yu walk forward.

The thieves who followed were also intimidated by Guan Yu's aura, and they all raised their swords and guns to get out of the way.

"Hahaha, what a Guan Yunchang, he is indeed unparalleled in courage, admiration, admiration!"

As soon as he walked through the knife array, he saw a person coming out of the wooden house in front, with a splayed eyebrow, a thin face and short beard, it was Han Siam whom he had seen back then.

Guan Yu stood proudly, and said with a sneer, "Guan came here for an appointment. Is this how Han Zhuangshi treats guests?"

"It's because my subordinates are ignorant and offended!" Han Xian stepped forward, cupped his fists and saluted Guan Yu, turned around and scolded: "You still won't back down?"

The minions retreated, and Han Xian took Guan Yu into the room and gave him the superior position. He ordered people to set up a banquet early, and raised a glass to persuade him.

After drinking for three rounds, Han Xian said: "After a farewell to Hedong, I traveled all over the country, but I didn't want to become famous in Youzhou. I cut off the yellow scarf, flattened Xianbei, fought at Hulaoguan, and Guan Yu's name was passed on to the Central Plains. Everyone on the road praised him. ,only……"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and asked, "Just what?"

Holding the wine glass, Han Xian said slowly: "Everyone on the Tao said that although Guan Gong was brave, he did his best for the imperial court. There is no distinction between good and evil, and he is not loyal enough!"

"Oh?" Guan Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked sideways, "What is loyalty?"

Han Xian put his wine glass on the table and said loudly: "Grudges are clear and grudges must be retaliated. There is no greater loyalty than this for your friends."

"Hahaha, what a hero!" Guan Yu stroked his beard and laughed loudly, his eyes suddenly opened wide with a heroic spirit, and he asked in a deep voice, "Have you ever heard that a great chivalrous man works for the country and the people?"
