Shuhan

When the messenger arrived at Wuguanzhong, the guard Zhang Fang summoned the messenger inside without any hesitation.

"What brings the messenger here?"

Zhang Fang pretended to be calm when he saw the Han envoy coming.

The Han envoy patted the dust on his sleeves with a joking look on his face.

"General Zhang, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Now that Zhang Wenyuan has abandoned the city and fled, what is the use of the general guarding this pass alone? Our Han army has occupied Guanzhong and Nanyang, and Wuguan Road has become an isolated city and it is difficult to defend it for a long time.

Moreover, I, the Han general, and Hou Guanyunchang of Hanshou County, have personally led the army to the outside of Wuguan. If the general holds on, he will only die. "After the messenger finished speaking, he looked directly at Zhang Fang with bright eyes.

Hearing this, Zhang Fang showed hesitation on his face. He weighed the pros and cons in his mind and could not make a decision for a long time.

When the envoy saw this, he immediately understood that what the general said that day was true. With the defeat of Cao Pi's Wei army and Zhang Liaoyuan's escape, the morale of the Wuguan defenders had sunk to the bottom.

So he added another fire and said: "General, good birds choose trees to roost, and good ministers choose their masters to serve. Now that the Han Dynasty has been revived, and General Guan's reputation has spread far and wide, general, why don't you obey the weather and surrender to the Han army, so that we can work together?" great cause?"

"This"

Zhang Fang still had a look of hesitation on his face.

Still hesitating?
It seems that it is too soft, so I need to add something hard.

The Han envoy suddenly understood.

"To be honest, general, this time my general has led 50,000 troops. Guanzhong has been pacified now. Troops from Lantian can be sent at any time to attack Wuguan in front and behind. Do we have to wait until the city is broken before we make a decision?"

Speaking of the latter part, the tone of the Han envoy's tone became grim.

"If that time comes, your Excellency will have no need to surrender. All you need to do is surrender your head."

After Zhang Fang heard this, he sighed and said: "I also know that the Han Dynasty has been revived, and General Guan is brave and invincible. However, I have received great favor from the Lord of Wei, how can I betray the Lord and seek glory? However, looking at today's situation, it is useless to hold on and only increase casualties." After that, I am willing to surrender to the Han army and help General Guan achieve a great cause."

The envoy was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "The general understands the great righteousness and surrenders to the Han army. It is indeed a wise move. General Guan will definitely treat the general and his officers well."

After that, he discussed the surrender with Zhang Fang.

On the day.

When the Wuguan gate is opened, both Guan and Ping are covered.

what happened?

I have been fighting hard for several months, but the result is not as good as my father. How many days have I come?

Are the differences between people so big?

Guan Yu naturally saw the frustration on Guan Ping's face. He stroked his long beautiful beard and said with a smile: "When you have the reputation of being a father, you will be able to defeat others without fighting."

After a brief interview with Zhang Fang, Guan Yu stopped delaying.

The horse galloped towards Chang'an.

The journey through Shangxian and Shangluo can basically be described as smooth.

After both Guanzhong and Nanyang were occupied, the Wei troops who stayed on Wuguandao either retreated along the mountain road to Hongnong, or they could only become turtles in the urn, waiting to be annihilated by the Han army.

Zhang Liao, for example, ran away early.

Wuguan guard Zhang Fang, as well as the magistrates of Shang County and Shangluo County, did not dare to leave.

Zhang Liao was a guest army who could come and go, but they were defenders and had the responsibility to defend the land. Once they lost the city and the land, they would inevitably die even if they fled to Luoyang.

But hold on.
In fact, it is no different from dying.

Therefore, after Guan Yu came to persuade him to surrender, these people hesitated and surrendered one after another.

Mercedes-Benz on the 15th.

Lantian is already close at hand.

"General, would you like to take a rest for now?"

It only took fifteen days to run from Wuguan to Lantian.

Even a middle-aged man like Zhang Fang felt like his body was being hollowed out, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Chang'an is close at hand, do you want Guan to stop?" On Lantian City, white silk was also tied up. Seeing this white silk, Guan Yu couldn't wait to go to Chang'an.

"Needless to say, we will march all night and rest in Chang'an tomorrow!"

Zhang Fang saw that Guan Yu, who was so much older than him, could persevere, so why couldn't he persevere?
He immediately said: "No!"

Under the wind and lightning, at dusk the next day, the giant city of Chang'an was finally in sight.

When he learned that Guan Yu was coming to Chang'an, Zhang Fei naturally greeted him outside the city.

Guan Yu rode forward, and saw the city gate slowly opening, and groups of neat honor guards came out.

The leader is the chariot general Zhang Fei. He is wearing armor and looks very powerful.

When he saw Guan Yu, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Fei's eyes. He strode forward and held Guan Yu's hand tightly.

"Second brother, you are here!" Zhang Fei's voice trembled a little.

Guan Yu smiled slightly, but his eyes were wet: "Third brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"

The two talked to each other, as if they had returned to the days when they were sworn brothers in Taoyuan.

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Fei carefully and found that he was no longer the impulsive and reckless man, but a majestic general. The years had also carved deep marks on his cheeks.

Under the guidance of Zhang Fei, Guan Yu walked into Weiyang Palace.

This palace has gone through many vicissitudes, but still retains its former glory. After passing through the palace gates, they finally arrived in front of Liu Bei's Zi Palace.

In the Zi Palace, Liu Bei was lying there quietly, with a peaceful face, as if he had just fallen into a deep sleep.

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei, feeling unspeakable sadness in his heart.

I remember that back then, the three of them formed a sworn brotherhood together in Taoyuan and vowed to live and die together, but now only he and Zhang Fei are left.

Guan Yu knelt in front of Liu Bei's Zi Palace, tears falling down his cheeks.

He stretched out his hand as if to caress Liu Bei's face, but finally gave up because the distance was too far, and called in a low voice: "Brother, my second brother is here to see you."

Zhang Fei also knelt beside him and burst into tears.

Although the three of them are not biological brothers, their relationship is better than that of family members.

Now that Liu Bei has passed away, the grief in their hearts is unspeakable.

After a while.

It seemed like a long time passed.

Guan Yu stood up slowly, wiped away his tears with his rough hands, and said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, we must cheer up, fulfill my eldest brother's last wish, revive the Han Dynasty, and return the old capital!"

Chang'an is only the former capital of the Former Han Dynasty, and Luoyang is the former capital of the Later Han Dynasty. Only by taking down these two capitals and unifying the world can we truly realize the restoration of the Han Dynasty!
"What the second brother said is absolutely true!"

Zhang Fei nodded in agreement, and the two hugged each other tightly.

At this moment, Liu Chan walked in.

Wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head, he already looked like the king of a country.

Seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he quickly walked forward and bowed deeply.

"I've met my second uncle and my third uncle." Liu Chan's voice was choked with sobs.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei quickly saluted Liu Chan and said, "Greetings to your majesty!"

Nowadays, the monarch and his ministers are different, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not relying on their old age.

"You two uncles don't need to be polite. Father, please don't be so sad that you hurt your body."

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes were slightly red, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm an old man and I can't die now!"

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Even if the world-famous Shouting Hou of the Han Dynasty did not go to the battlefield, if the people on the opposite side knew that Guan Yunchang was coming, their morale would first drop a lot.

Now that the generals of the Han Dynasty are getting older, they need veteran generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to train some generals to avoid the situation of lack of success. (End of chapter)
