Chapter 273 Brothers Quarrelling Candle Shadow Cries
Liu Bei's anger was not because Guan Yu resisted his will.

Brothers don't talk about this.

What made Liu Bei angry was that Guan Yu's shaking of his head meant that he didn't care about his body.

The younger brother is not in a hurry, but the elder brother is anxious to die, which is Liu Bei's mentality now.

After Guan Yu shook his head, Liu Bei originally wanted to reprimand Guan Yu with a straight face.

But at this time Guan Yu took the initiative to ask Liu Bei: "The words that brother said just now are the imperial decree issued by the emperor of the Han Dynasty, or the advice expressed by Yu's elder brother."

Liu Bei, who was still angry, began to soften when he heard Guan Yu call him elder brother.

The word Guan Yu's elder brother touched the softest part of his heart.

Since he entered Shu, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have been divided into two towns. It has been a long time since he heard the elder brother that he heard every day.

Elderly people are the most nostalgic, not to mention Liu Bei and Guan Yu's relationship is different?

After his face softened, Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and asked, "What about being an emperor, and what about being an elder brother?"

At this time, Liu Bei's tone was no longer so urgent.

Liu Bei's reaction was seen by Guan Yu. Facing Liu Bei's question, Guan Yu cupped his hands and answered:

"If elder brother Fangcai issued an edict as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Yu is a minister, and those who are ministers put loyalty first, and the edicts of the emperor will definitely be obeyed."

After saying this, Guan Yu went on to say: "But as a younger brother, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Originally, when Liu Bei heard Guan Yu's last sentence, some surprise appeared on his face.

He knows best about his good brother, he shouldn't have this kind of character.

But the turning point of Guan Yu's next sentence made Liu Bei feel that it was indeed so.

Guan Yu specially emphasized the tone of the words "regret for life" to express his true attitude.

It's just that Liu Bei is not such a person who easily changes his views. Liu Bei knows what Guan Yu means by regretting for life.

On the way to the tent with Guan Yu just now, Guan Yu seemed to have realized that Liu Bei would know the secret for a while.

So he informed Liu Bei in advance that Zhang Liao was leading tens of thousands of Cao Wei Zhongjun to arrive.

The importance of Cao Wei Zhongjun, Liu Bei, as Cao Cao's old opponent, only knows a lot more than Guan Yu.

But this alone was not enough to make Liu Bei change his mind.

Liu Bei said firmly to Guan Yu: "The future is long, maybe you will miss this opportunity when you return to Chengdu.

But as long as you take good care of your body, are you afraid that you will not have a chance to defeat the Wei Zhongjun in the future? "

Facing Liu Bei's persuasion, Guan Yu showed a wry smile and said, "Brother, time is not waiting for me!"

Guan Yu then asked Liu Bei, "Brother, do you still remember the battle of Dangyang?"

Hearing Guan Yu mention the battle of Dangyang that almost cost him his life, Liu Bei had a heavy look on his face.

How could he forget the tragic situation at that time?

Seeing that Liu Bei began to recall the details of that battle, Guan Yu continued, "Brother, do you still remember the power of the cavalry against Wei?"

When Guan Yu uttered these words, the expression on Liu Bei's face was no longer heavy, but fearful.

As the coach of that battle, how could he not know?

Everyone knows that in the battle of Dangyang, Liu Bei was defeated by the five thousand cavalry led by Cao Cao.

However, few people in the world know the specifics of the battle of Dangyang.

Although Guan Yu was not in the army during the first battle of Dangyang, Guan Yu had heard Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei talk about the specific process of that battle.

At that time, Liu Bei retreated south with tens of thousands of people.

Among the more than [-] troops, Liu Bei's army has nearly [-], and most of them are elite soldiers!

At that time, Liu Bei's team was traveling very slowly, only more than ten miles a day.

This is because Liu Bei personally led a group of generals and [-] elite soldiers to protect the more than [-] people.

So when the [-] cavalry led by Cao Cao arrived near Dangyang, the first to contact them was the [-] elite soldiers led by Liu Bei himself.

Perhaps Liu Bei's army was not too large at that time, but there were old generals such as Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Chen Dao in his army.

According to Liu Bei's thinking, he should also be able to withstand Cao Cao's cavalry for a while.

But what Liu Bei didn't expect was that when his well-trained [-] infantry met Cao Cao's [-] cavalry, they didn't last long before being completely defeated. In the end, only he and a few dozen cavalry escaped.

Liu Bei's defeat in that battle was not because his soldiers were not good, or because his generals were not brave.

It is really Cao Cao's five thousand cavalry, which has a great advantage in the unobstructed plains.

And it was that battle that made Liu Bei understand the importance and horror of the cavalry.

That's why he began to vigorously renovate the four roads in Guanzhong after taking Yizhou, and prepared to use Guanzhong as the main direction of his northern expedition in Japan.

Seeing that Liu Bei's fear became more and more serious after recalling the past, Guan Yu continued:
"What brother said is not unreasonable, Yu also understands the principle of haste makes waste, but the times are different now!"

"In the past, the reason why our army had many defeats in field battles with the bandit army was that the bandit army relied on the advantage of the cavalry. Our army was defeated."

"Brother is also a man who has led the army for many years. Have you forgotten this lesson? And during the battle of Dangyang, did you forget the benefit of the cavalry of the bandit army?"

"It's different now. Yu has just defeated the tens of thousands of cavalry of the bandit army. In a period of time, it will be difficult for the bandit army to organize a large-scale cavalry army."

"Now is the best time for our infantry to defeat the Niwei Zhongjun.

And only if the cavalry army against Wei does not participate in the war, can our army have a greater possibility of defeating the Chinese army against Wei head-on on the vast plain. "

"It's easy for Yu to retreat, but if Yu retreats, our army will undoubtedly miss this excellent opportunity, and it will undoubtedly give Ni Wei a breathing space."

"Even if Riyu can maintain his health in the future and lead the army to go north again, but once the opportunity is missed, it will be very difficult to come back."

"The national strength of the Han Dynasty is still weak. If you can't seize every opportunity to continuously weaken the national strength against Wei, when will the dream of you and my brothers come true?"

"Yu's honor and disgrace in life and death are small, and a big man should put the country's great cause first!"

After Guan Yu finished his last sentence, he bowed deeply to Liu Bei in front of him.

Guan Yu's words revealed the reason why he was determined not to retreat.

Because in his opinion, now is an excellent opportunity to defeat Cao Wei Zhongjun.

And this opportunity is the result of his painstaking planning during this period of time.

After many days of hard training, it is finally time to reap the fruits, how can he be willing to let him retreat now!
But when Liu Bei faced Guan Yu's request to bow down, he subconsciously took a few steps back.

Under Guan Yu's explanation, Liu Bei understood why Guan Yu insisted on fighting this battle.

Liu Bei admitted that what Guan Yu said was right, but Liu Bei still couldn't sit back and watch Guan Yu drag his sick body to fight this battle.

So although Liu Bei didn't say anything to stop him, his body kept retreating, which already expressed his attitude.

And Liu Bei's performance was also seen by Guan Yu.

After Guan Yu saw Liu Bei's performance, some anger appeared on his face.

He has already explained it so clearly, why Liu Bei still doesn't understand him.

In anger, Guan Yu hurriedly walked towards Liu Bei.

Every time Guan Yu took a step, a puzzled sentence came out of his mouth:
"Brother, do you think I'm doing it for meritorious service?"

"When I voted for my elder brother, it was my elder brother who taught me to put state affairs first."

"But why did brother forget this truth now?"

"Ji Chang doesn't understand me, Zicheng doesn't understand me, I can accept both."

"But brother, how can you not understand me!"

Because of Liu Bei's retreat, Guan Yu was already some distance away from Liu Bei.

During the distance Guan Yu walked towards Liu Bei, Guan Yu's incomprehension at the beginning almost turned into an aggrieved question in the end.

In the dark night, the candle in Guan Yu's main tent was flickering and emitting its own faint light, illuminating the dark space.

And under the flickering of the candlelight, the figures of Guan Yu and Liu Bei were stretched out, reflecting on the tents around them.

When Guan Yu approached Liu Bei step by step with anger, Guan Yu's figure also began to shoot obliquely, towards another figure still standing on the tent.

This scene happened to be seen clearly by Mi Yang outside the big tent.

And because Guan Yu is now in an excited state of mind, his voice was quite loud just now.

Mi Yang could also hear clearly the words he asked when he approached Liu Bei.

After realizing that the two brothers had started to quarrel, Mi Yang who was standing in the cold wind shrank her neck unconsciously.

He finally knew why Liu Bei rejected everyone tonight, leaving him to wait outside the big tent.

It's not that Liu Bei saw his strength in force, it was Liu Bei who had expected this scene long ago.

And Liu Bei thinks that he is both Guan Yu's son-in-law and his own nephew, and they belong to the same family.

After all, "family ugliness" cannot be publicized.

In the big tent, when Guan Yu expressed all the grievances and complaints in his heart and came to Liu Bei, Liu Bei was not frightened by the fierce general who came to him with anger.

What Guan Yu did just now has been done many times in front of him in the past.

Among the three brothers, although Zhang Fei seems to have the most violent temper, in fact Guan Yu is the one who argues with him most often.

Although the three brothers have the same ambition, their personalities are very different.

In Guan Yu's worst temper tantrum, he complained in public that his decision was wrong.

Looking at Guan Yu who was already standing a step away from him, Liu Bei's temper has also come up at this time.

If Guan Yu had behaved like this in the past, Liu Bei might have thought of laughing, but facing the issue of Guan Yu's safety, Liu Bei would not give in at all.

"No matter what you say, you must go back to Chengdu with me."

Facing the coercion of thousands of enemies in the world, Liu Bei showed the courage of a big brother.

It's just that Guan Yu is such a person who bows his head.

"As the son of heaven, you should put the country's affairs first, how can you let your sons and daughters care about you!"

Seeing Guan Yu reasoning with him, Liu Bei was naturally not afraid at all.

"The emperor's family affairs are state affairs, and you are my family, so your affairs are also state affairs."

Hearing Liu Bei say this, Guan Yu's heart warmed up, but he still said:
"National affairs are also divided into big and small. Rebelling against Wei is a traitor of the Han Dynasty, and killing the traitors of the country is the first-class national affairs of the Han Dynasty."

Seeing Guan Yu talking about the basic national policy of the Northern Expedition, Liu Bei quickly reacted and said:
"In my heart, your safety is as important as killing the national traitors."

Seeing Liu Bei's strong words and unreasonable words, Guan Yu couldn't help being anxious.

"Brother, you are too persistent!"

Although Guan Yu was in a hurry, Liu Bei remained calm.

"It's Yun Chang, you are too persistent. Even if this opportunity is rare, as long as you are by my side, even if there are tens of thousands of Wei army cavalry around in the future, why should I be afraid?"

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei puzzled and said:
"Brother, don't be afraid. Then, as the general of the big man, what's wrong with me wanting to beg for the thief for the big man?"

After Guan Yu said these words, Liu Bei, who is the king and brother, was speechless for a while, but then he said in a somewhat sad tone:
"Then I am your elder brother. I think you are always by my side. What's wrong?"

"Even if I can sit on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, how can I feel happy if I don't have brothers by my side?"

"I'm not against you begging for thieves, I'm not against you fighting on the battlefield, I just want you to follow me back to Chengdu and take care of your health first, what's wrong with that!"

"I just don't want to be alone."

When Liu Bei uttered the last sentence, Guan Yu's eyes were instantly wet.

Liu Bei's feelings for him are just like his feelings for Liu Bei, so how could he not know?
It's just that Liu Bei ignored one thing.

Guan Yu said to Liu Bei in a more sad tone: "But brother, my brother's health is not good enough."

When Guan Yu said this, his speech was quite slow.

But when his words fell into Liu Bei's ears, Liu Bei subconsciously fell to the ground as if he had been hit hard.

Yes, according to Fan A just now, Guan Yu's body is beyond recovery.

Just now, because of his inner persistence, Liu Bei has been consciously ignoring this matter.

But now that this matter was mentioned again by Guan Yu, Liu Bei, who could no longer avoid it, finally couldn't hold it anymore, and fell to the ground directly.

Guan Yu also took advantage of the situation and sat on the ground.

After Guan Yu sat in front of him, Liu Bei put his hands on Guan Yu's shoulders.

Liu Bei looked at the brother with gray temples, his eyes slowly moistened.

It is true that his second brother is an unrivaled hero.

But the hero will also have the old day.

At this time, Liu Bei wanted to say "I won't" to Guan Yu, but he couldn't say it at all.

Seeing Liu Bei's reaction made Guan Yu feel uncomfortable.

It's just that he, as the person involved, is more open-minded than Liu Bei.

"Although I can't maintain my health well, I don't have any fear of my life for the time being. Brother, don't need to be too uncomfortable."

"Kuang people are mortal, time flies, you and I are no longer the young men who won the championship when Zhuo County joined the army."

"Perhaps in the near future, my body will be too sick to stay in bed.

"Elder brother knows my younger brother's temperament. If I were to give up my obsessions and choose to spend the rest of my life on the sick bed, that would be the most unacceptable thing for me."

"So I really hope to fight again for my brother, for Dahan.

After this battle, regardless of whether we win or lose, I will go back to Chengdu with my brother! "

"I also hope that my brother will be successful!"

When he said the above words, Guan Yu held Liu Bei's hand, and the strength in his hand continued to increase, in order to show his determination.

Feeling the strength coming from his hands, and looking at Guan Yu's pleading eyes, Liu Bei's heart began to shake.

Maybe he can use the authority of the emperor and his elder brother's status to force Guan Yu, but is this really for Guan Yu's sake?
After realizing this, Liu Bei closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.

He struggled, couldn't bear it, and the expression of pain kept changing.

But at the end, he said slowly:
"I will summon Yide, the battle is coming, and the three brothers are indispensable."

"Regardless of victory or defeat, you and my three brothers will live and die together."

After hearing what Liu Bei said, Guan Yu sat upright and bowed deeply to the brother he admired the most in his life.

Liu Bei's love for him is so deep from beginning to end.
