Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 48 Cao Thief fell ill and tried

On the way back to Xudu, soldiers and horses stayed overnight in Liuxian County.

Guan Yu saw Cao Cao's expression was different during the day. He knew Cao Cao's character very well, so he didn't live in his own room.

"Didn't Ziyu go to rest?" Guan Yu greeted.

Lan Tian clasped his fists and said: "That thief Cao is very feminine, I fear he will be unruly to my sister, so I stay here."

Guan Yu nodded, "Guan is also worried about this matter. We just have time to spare. Can Ziyu solve the problem?"

Lan Tian smiled and said: "I have heard that General Guan's righteousness is so righteous that he would rather be broken than whole. I am worried that if you sacrifice your life in vain, then my sister and the others will have no one to take care of them."

"Ziyu has everything in mind, but why do you assert that elder brother is still alive?" Guan Yu asked puzzled.

"Whether my brother-in-law is captured or killed, Cao Cao will not recruit General Guan." Lan Tian analyzed.

"What's the meaning of this?"

"The general and brother-in-law swear to live and die together. If brother-in-law is captured, he will inevitably threaten to capture the general. If brother-in-law is dead, how dare Cao Cao keep his enemy by his side?"

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard and nodded, "What Ziyu said made me suddenly enlightened."

After Guan Yu finished speaking, seeing Lan Tian's expression was indifferent, he suddenly got up and clasped his fists and said, "Big brother doesn't know Ziyu's ability, so he neglected him a bit. Guan will make an apology for you on behalf of big brother."

Lan Tian waved his hands and said, "Why should my family be like this? In fact, I am very comfortable working in Xiapihu Cao, but I have read a lot of books."

"I heard that you killed two villains with your own hands? I didn't expect Ziyu to know martial arts." Guan Yu said suddenly.

"It's just two rogues, not worth mentioning." Lan Tian said modestly.

"I've heard that Ziyu, you are fast and powerful with your sword. You are clearly a martial arts practitioner. It happens that the weather is cold now, so let's make gestures to warm up our bodies." Guan Yu was eager to strike.

"How can I fight against you?" Lan Tianxin said, who would dare to provoke you after Lu Bu's death?How can I do this?

"It's okay, let's have a brief discussion." Guan Yu urged, taking off his armor.

Lan Tian had no choice but to fight Guan Yu. He was smaller than the opponent, so his movements were much more agile.

The two were sweating from the fight, Guan Yu suddenly stopped the attack, and Xu Chu and Zhang Liao came hand in hand.

"General Guan, I'm so excited." Zhang Liao clasped his fists and smiled.

"What's the matter with Wenyuan?" Guan Yu asked with a puzzled look on his face. He and Zhang Liao had some friendship, but Xu Chu was Cao Cao's old guard, why did he come here?
"Oh, we wanted to have a drink with General Guan, but we didn't want you to be in our room, so we came here." Zhang Liao said with a smile.

"Guan still wants to protect the two sister-in-laws, so I won't disgrace them, please go back." Guan Yu signaled.

Xu Chu was taken aback when he heard that, Zhang Liao said hastily, "That's fine, we won't be too late to drink when we get to Xu."

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he took Xu Chu and left. Lan Tian looked at the backs of the two and said, "It is true that Zhang Liao invited the general to drink, but the other general has other plans."

"Xu Chu has other plans?" Guan Yu looked back at the hut of the two sisters-in-law, as if he understood something.

Xu Chu and Zhang Liao came to Cao Cao's residence. Cao Cao was a little disappointed to see that they returned empty-handed.

Xu Chu said: "My lord, Guan Yu wants to guard Liu Bei's family all night. I can't succeed for a while. Please forgive me, my lord."

Cao Cao sighed: "Yun Chang is really a loyal man."

At this time Zhang Liao advised: "My lord, although Mrs. Gan is a concubine, she is Liu Bei's woman. If she is forced to come to sleep with her, she may be hated by Yun Chang. It is easy to surrender and difficult to accept."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Wen Yuan's words are very true. Fortunately, you two did not act recklessly. I will never think about it in the future."

"If my lord, why not look for it in Liu County?" Zhang Liao suggested.

"Forget it, it's a chilly spring day, I just think it's a bit cold under the covers"

"My lord, I can warm you up." Just as Cao Cao finished speaking, Xu Chu asked Ying to say.

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing. He took off his cloak and said, "The night in the first month is as cold as water. You need to go again and give this cloak to Yun Chang to keep out the cold."

"Yun Chang was sparring with the pawn just now to keep warm. With the cloak rewarded by the lord, I believe he will not be cold tonight." Zhang Liao echoed.

Cao Cao sat cross-legged on the bed, and said with a smile, "Yun Chang is so skilled in martial arts, how can there be a pawn who can fight him? Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death with three punches and two kicks?"

"I think Guan Yu has the heart to give way, and the pawn will not be in danger." Xu Chu replied.

Zhang Liao said in his heart that if you talk like this, how can the lord continue the topic?Aren't you spoiling the lord's happiness?He then cupped his fists and said, "My lord, General Xu will stay behind to protect your safety, and I will send this cloak there alone."

"Go." Cao Cao turned over and lay down on the couch after saying that.

After Guan Yu and Lan Tian had punched and kicked a few times, the warmth on their bodies quickly rose.

In the middle of the night, Lan Tian suggested that the two of them take turns to rest. He found some wood to light a fire to keep warm. The two sat around the fire and chatted. Lan Tian's face was also burned red.

After everyone arrived in Xudu, Cao Cao no longer coveted Gan Qian's beauty. He worshiped Guan Yu as a partial general, and not only gave Lu Bu the red rabbit horse, but also gave him clothes and things, and treated him very generously.

When Lantian saw Chituma, he immediately thought of Lu Lingqi. He didn't know how she was doing in Xinye, and whether she had stabilized her footing now, but with Gao Shun's protection, her life should be safe.

In February of the fifth year of Jian'an, after Yuan Shao received Liu Beiyi's edict, he instantly felt righteousness in his hands. He ordered Chen Lin to write a call to action, calling on the heroes of the world to punish Cao's bandits together, and mobilized troops to prepare to go south.

In March, Yuan Shao led Liu Bei to march into Liyang, and sent general Yan Liang to besiege the white horse. Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun, asked Xu Du for help.

The battle between Yuan Cao and Yuan Cao was imminent, and Guan Yu had no friends in Xudu. Before he went to the battle, he went to Lan Tian to discuss: "The prime minister is going to relieve the siege of the white horse. How should I deal with it?"

Lan Tian said: "General Guan should invite Ying, and he must fight the enemy bravely. Only by beheading the general and making meritorious service can he have the means to escape."

"If Cao Cao can't send me into battle, what can I do?" Guan Yu asked again.

Lan Tian laughed and said: "Yuan Shaohu is in Hebei, and he has many brave generals who are accustomed to fighting. This time, you must have a chance to make a move. From Xudu, I wish the general's fame in the world."

"Chengzi Yu Jiyan, I don't know what happened to the elder brother and the third younger brother. When can we get out of Xudu." Guan Yu said.

"General Guan, don't worry, my brother-in-law is auspicious, so he will be fine." Lan Tian comforted.

"I hope so."

Cao Cao took the advice of counselor Xun You and led his army to cross the river in Yanjin to induce Yuan Shao to divide his troops in Yanjin.Then the light soldiers rushed forward, rushing to attack the white horse to catch him off guard.

Yuan Shao really planned to divide his troops, but Cao Cao was blocked by Yan Liang in Baima.

Yan Liang was a general under Yuan Shao's command. He was the most brave general in Hebei.

Zhang Liao was also defeated in the battle with him. Seeing this, Guan Yu leaped his horse and charged into the enemy's formation.

The main general was beheaded, and Yan Liang's troops collapsed in an instant. Cao Cao ordered the army to cover up and kill, and the siege of the white horse was finally broken.
