At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

"Remember, we also ate meat and drank wine together back then."

"You have to keep in mind that back then, none of us would have thought that something would happen to Wei Xiao? His background is similar to Zilong's."

"I won't do the same thing as Wei Xiao."

"It's almost there now!"

Guan Yu took a deep breath: "Not only that, but your behavior this time offended more than one person. Many people are dissatisfied with you, but you don't know it! Restrain yourself! Don't think that you can do whatever you want with your seniority!"

Zhang Fei frowned.

Although he felt that Guan Yu was making a fuss out of a molehill, out of decades of trust in Guan Yu, Zhang Fei restrained his behavior a little.

At least he didn't go around looking for someone to show off his military exploits, which was a big improvement.

Seeing this, Guan Yu was a little relieved, but still uneasy.

This anxiety comes from Guan Ping, Guan Yu's son.

He didn't have such a good political consciousness at first, and his son told him about this political consciousness.

Guan Ping grew up receiving elite education and was the first batch of students educated by Guo Peng's own education institute.

His education level is much higher than Guan Yu's, and his cultural level is also much higher than Guan Yu's. He has been educated in the political center of the empire for a long time, and has been working with Guo Jin for a long time. Even if he is not a civil servant who specializes in politics, he has some experience in dealing with people .

And political sense is also sensitive.

When it comes to politics, Guan Yu is far from his son's opponent.

Guan Ping's experience and sense of smell in politics can definitely blow up his father. In a sense, this is also better than blue.

After all, for an imperial general, being able to fight alone is a terrible thing.

Guan Yu, who has been fighting all his life and doesn't know how to get along well with his colleagues, can be regarded as getting a chance to get along with his son on the battlefield this time.

But this time getting along was not what he thought, it was a warm scene of reunion of father and son.

On the contrary, after a short period of warmth, Guan Ping gave Guan Yu a lesson, and was stunned by Guan Yu's words.

Guan Ping popularized some political common sense to Guan Yu.

He let Guan Yu, the king of the battlefield and political bronze, have a good understanding of the situation in the court.

There are also the main reasons for launching this war after the new emperor ascended the throne, and the degree of trouble Guan Yu was in the heart of the new emperor during the war planning stage.

Guan Ping was able to grow up with Guo Jin because Guan Ping was lucky. He was born relatively early, and Guo Peng fell in love with him at first sight. Others didn't have such a good chance.

For example, Zhang Fei gave birth to his son late, so he missed the good opportunity to get along with Guo Jin, get further elite education and access to the power center of the empire, and lost the opportunity to cultivate political vision.

Following Guo Jin's side and being given the possibility of being in charge of the Forbidden Army in the future, Guan Ping can be said to have a bright future. Together with Cao Zhen, he is regarded as an important figure in the future Wei Army.

But Zhang Fei's son can only train at the border.

However, Guo Jin's attitude towards Guan Yu's "troublesome and difficult to cooperate" made Guan Ping feel very bad.

Guan Ping is married and has a separated family, and has set up his own family to live. In a sense, he can no longer interfere too much with Guan's affairs.

He knew very well that Guo Jin didn't like Guan Yu, who was troublesome and not good at getting along with his colleagues.

He felt that a seasoned but unusable veteran like Guan Yu was very cumbersome, and there were many meanings in his words that such a veteran would return to his hometown as soon as possible to retire with peace of mind.

The new emperor does not need such a veteran with old qualifications and high combat achievements, but he is very individual and not easy to use.

It's just that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and his prestige is not enough, so it is not easy to directly attack the veteran.

After this battle, Guo Jin wanted to test whether the two veterans, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, could continue to use them. If they could, they would continue to use them. [Glory Retired].

Think about Cao Ren, understand?

Guan Ping's call made Guan Yu suddenly enlightened, and Guan Yu instantly understood some things that he couldn't understand in the past.

Due to the congenital deficiencies when entering the Guo Peng Group and some acquired subjective weaknesses, although Zhang Fei and himself have high status and deep qualifications, they do not have high positions.

In contrast, Yu Jin and Zhang Liao, who are more politically savvy and easy-going, have gone farther than him-even though his qualifications are deeper.

This can reflect the problem.

Guan Yu has always adhered to the attitude that no one offends me, I will not offend others, but this attitude does not make a good relationship with his colleagues.

For example, Sima Yi, the chief protector of the Annan Protectorate's Mansion, Guan Yu had a stiff relationship with him, and they didn't get along well at all.

He had heard some rumors about Sima Yi, for example, that Sima Yi was flattering to his superiors and not so principled, so he didn't like Sima Yi very much and didn't treat him well.

Under non-essential circumstances, he tried not to have any contact or conversation with Sima Yi.

The two really couldn't talk about going together.

There is no shortage of good generals under the new emperor. On the contrary, the so-called emperor and courtiers, what the new emperor is more worried about at this moment is whether these veteran generals will be obedient.

It's okay to be obedient, but if you are not obedient, there will be a big problem.

So after Zhang Fei made a fuss, Guan Ping privately advised Guan Yu not to follow Zhang Fei, not to follow, but to follow Zhao Yun obediently and be the one who suffers.

In the ranks of the army, as long as you follow Zhao Yun, you will not be the last to suffer, but you will have the last laugh.

Who is Zhao Yun?

The half-lazhang of the new emperor.

Such a close relationship, such a good opportunity, if you don't follow Zhao Yun closely, will you continue to hang out with Zhang Fei in the wind and sand?

"If you suffer a loss now, you may not suffer a loss when you arrive in Luoyang. If you are enjoying yourself now, you may not be able to continue to be happy when you arrive in Luoyang."

Guan Ping said so.

This made Guan Yu fall into deep thought.

Chapter 1474 One thousand three hundred and eighty four Let the bullets fly for a while

Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have a very good personal relationship, and their 30-year friendship is as light as brothers, this has little to do with Guan Ping.

Guan Ping is a few years older than Guo Jin. When Guo Jin reached the age of schooling, Guo Peng chose him as Guo Jin's schoolmate to study and grow together.

It can be said that Guan Ping grew up receiving elite education in the school run by Guo Peng, and he is also older than Zhang Fei's sons.

When he was young, he did not grow up with the Zhang family, but with Guo Jin and his group.

Later, Zhang Fei had a son, but as the saying goes, there is a generation gap between three years old. Guan Ping didn't have much contact with Zhang Fei's son, or even Zhang Fei himself.

On the contrary, Guan Xingguo and Guan Anguo, Guan Ping's younger brothers, had a better relationship with Zhang Fei's sons, because they were similar in age, and they studied and grew up together.

Guan Ping himself married Zhao Yun's eldest daughter from a concubine, and got closer to his father-in-law Zhao Yun. He was also Guo Jin's schoolmate when he was young, and he was already a member of the core power circle of the Wei Empire.

It can be said that he himself is an alternative to the Guan family, and his situation is different from that of his brothers, let alone the Zhang family.

He and the Zhang family, a wandering military family, are not the same people at all.

So when it comes to such things, he doesn't care too much about Zhang Fei, he cares more that Guan Shi will be dragged into the water by Zhang Fei, and will be hit politically by the new emperor, which will implicate his future.

So he was extremely unwilling to get Guan Yu involved in this kind of matter, and he really didn't want Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to have anything to do with this matter, so as not to affect Guan Yu's already very uncertain future.

He was worried about himself, about his father, and about the future of his two younger brothers.

At that time, Guan Yu felt something was wrong.

No matter how dull and ignorant of politics, Guan Yu should understand when it comes to this.

"Is something going to happen to Yide?"

"It's hard to say, it's really hard to say, father, haven't you noticed that my father-in-law's complexion has not been better since his triumphant return? Who else in the army has a good complexion except Uncle Yide?

Uncle Yide almost monopolized the opportunity for everyone to obtain military exploits. His contribution is great, but what about the others?When I return to Luoyang to discuss meritorious deeds and rewards, it is hard to say that nothing will happen. "

Guan Ping recalled the political storms in Luoyang that he and Guo Jin had experienced together, and always felt that someone would be unlucky this time.

No, someone is bound to be unlucky.

Guan Yu gasped.

He is very clear that Guan Ping's political sense is much better than his, and Guan Ping's political channels are also better than his. The information he obtained is something that he, a border guard, cannot obtain anyway. This is something he feels very grateful for. matter.

Now it seems that Guan Ping must know something that he doesn't know.

With such worries, Guan Yu warned Zhang Fei and told Zhang Fei to restrain himself.

But the matter has come to this point, no matter how much he warns, it is of no use. Zhang Fei has already done what should be done, and offended what should be offended.

It's out of play.

It can only be said to see how the new emperor in Luoyang city wants to deal with this matter.

Guan Yu didn't want anything to happen to Zhang Fei in his heart.

The friendship between the two for more than 30 years, how can it be summed up in one or two sentences?

The two had known Liu Bei before the Yellow Turban Rebellion. That was more than 30 years ago. There have been ups and downs along the way, and they have survived many times when their lives were in danger.

Now that both of them are entering the twilight years of their lives, it is time to look forward to the end of their lives.

Yide, please don't get into trouble...

The triumphant army soon entered Yumenguan from the Western Regions, passed through the four counties in Hexi from Yumenguan, entered the eastern part of Liangzhou, passed through Longdi, arrived in Yongzhou, and set foot on the spacious Yongzhou Avenue.

After arriving at Yongzhou Avenue, the marching speed became even faster.

It’s not that the roads in Liangzhou can’t be repaired well, it’s mainly because of the terrain. Many of the roads on Yongzhou Avenue are straight and easy to walk. However, to the west, the roads in Liangzhou are somewhat curved, which is not so good at full speed. Forward.

Yongzhou Avenue is connected to Luoyang Road, and the triumphant army is galloping all the way on the military road. Coupled with the marching method of basically all mules and horses, the marching speed of this Wei army is particularly fast.

At the beginning of August, the army entered the Luoyang area, and welcomed the welcome envoy sent by the emperor.

This is the first time that the emperor sent troops to go out and initiate a war on his own initiative, which is of great significance.

Zhao Yun won the battle on behalf of the emperor, eliminated Kangju country, and captured King Kangju. This was a great victory in everyone's eyes.

A victory related to the emperor's reputation and prestige, a victory that cannot be lost.

The emperor successfully completed the first battle after succeeding to the throne, announcing to the world that he is an heir, but he is also a strong heir. Wei Jun can win and be invincible in his era.

Any enemy who tried to challenge the hegemony of the Wei Empire would be met with a head-on blow by the new emperor and then completely wiped out.

Their heads of state will also be captured and brought back to Luoyang to plead guilty and accept the punishment of the emperor.

Of course, such a great significance needs an equally grand triumphant sacrifice ceremony to reflect it, so that the effect of one plus one greater than two can be achieved.

In particular, Zhao Yun met Guo Jin's expectations according to Guo Jin's initial plan.

He asked the captured King Kangju to take off his shirt and kneel at the gate of Luoyang City, facing the direction of the palace, and kowtowed ten times to Guo Jin, satisfying Guo Jin's vanity as an emperor with great humiliation. .

Guo Jin was even happier——

Although he decided to do something, winning the battle itself is something worth celebrating, let alone a foreign head of state knelt at the gate of the imperial capital and apologized to Emperor Wei in the most humble way. This cannot be denied.

The prisoner offering ceremony must be held, and the reward for meritorious deeds must be held. No matter what, it must be held, so that Guo Jin can stay out of the way.

When Zhang Fei saw such a scene, some of the original worries disappeared in an instant.

He instantly felt that this was Guan Yu's fuss.

When Guan Yu saw such a scene, his original deep worry disappeared in an instant, and changed to doubt, looking at his son who didn't know what to say.

"Ping'er, this?"

Guan Ping frowned as he looked at this extremely grand triumphant ceremony and prisoner offering ceremony, no matter how he looked at it, he felt something was wrong.

But he knew the great significance of this victory to Guo Jin, so he planned to wait and see what happened and let the bullets fly for a while.

"Father, wait and see what happens."

"Ok."

Out of trust in his son, Guan Yu chose to wait and see what happened.

But the prisoner offering ceremony and the triumphal ceremony were really grand, very grand.

Drums and horns sounded together, cannons sounded again and again, and flags were flying.

A large number of guards of honor set off the whole scene extremely enthusiastically, and some dancers in strong costumes danced at the head of Luoyang city.

The special envoy of the emperor Guo Jin, Guo Jia, the important minister of the royal family, went out to meet the victorious army in person, bringing them the emperor's own condolences and joy, as well as praise to the generals.

Guo Jia announced on the spot that he would reward officers and soldiers at all levels of the army with different money, cloth, grain, oil, rice noodles, and meat, as well as a tax-free period for military families.
