The war outside is becoming increasingly tense, but Guan Ping is in pain and happiness in Ancheng. On the one hand, the daily recovery training makes him almost die of pain; and every day, under the gentle sunshine, sitting in the grass with Guan Feng, or Snuggling, or kissing, or talking and laughing, are the most beautiful things in the world.
But this kind of life couldn't last long. At the beginning of February in the sixth year of Jian'an, after Cao Ren basically recovered, Cao Cao took advantage of the high morale of the whole army and went south from Shangcai, with Xia Houyuan as the front, and went straight to Ancheng.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu personally led the army and went to stop the attack. They were defeated and had to retreat to Ancheng. Fortunately, Liu Bei knew that he was invincible and had already made preparations for retreat in advance. , went out of the city, joined Liu and Guan, and the three led their troops, and fled to Jingzhou at starry night. When they retreated, there were still four thousand soldiers and horses, but in Runan County, they were pursued by Cao Jun. thousand.

Among them, Guan Ping, who was already able to mount a horse and gallop, did not take part in the war under the pretext of being seriously injured. He only stayed with his family and took care of Guan Feng, who was pregnant in April. [

Before Liu Bei entered Jing, Sun Qian had already been sent to Xiangyang to tell Liu Biao. Like history, Liu Biao immediately welcomed Liu Bei and placed him in Xinye as a barrier against Cao Cao's southward travel.

After arriving in Xinye, while brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were all meeting Liu Biao in Xiangyang, Guan Ping looked at his younger sister, whose belly was getting bigger and bigger every day, and wanted her to live in the city and hide in the house all day long, which would definitely have a negative effect on the baby's development. Influence is not a thing.

I wanted to find a place outside Xinye City to settle down temporarily, and happened to remember that when I entered Xinye, I found a beautiful place ten miles west of the city.

Then I went to check, and sure enough, there was a small village with a gurgling stream in front, low hills in the back, surrounded by willows, and chirping birds. Tian Di, the old patriarch also knows Guan Ping's name, he knows that he is a murderous demon king, how dare he refuse to follow.

Time is running out, if you want to build a new house, and time is running short, Guan Ping is like the patriarch asking if there is any house for sale. The old patriarch thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and said: "There is one place, that house is also from my Deng family. Unfortunately, the head of the family has just left this year, and the family situation has also fallen, leaving behind orphans and widowed mothers. In order to find a teacher for the children, the mother asked the old man a few days ago and said that she would sell her big house, begging me Take care of the buyer."

Guan Ping nodded, thinking in his heart: this mother is also virtuous and well-versed in Dali.He said: "Alright, you can ask. As for the price, I will discuss it with you in a few days." Guan Ping remembered that the other party was an orphan and widowed mother, and was afraid that the patriarch would make trouble and bully them.

"Yes, yes, yes." The old patriarch didn't know whether it was sorrow or joy, Guan Ping was a great man, but if he was in the wrong direction, it would be a catastrophe for Dengjia Village.

After discussing the matter of buying a house and land, Guan Ping returned to Xinye, and saw Jian Yong anxiously waiting at the door.

"General Xiao Guan, you are finally back." Jian Yong rushed forward, grabbed Guan Ping, and said, "Liu Jingzhou can ask you to go to the banquet by name."

Liu Biao asked me to go to the banquet?Guan Ping was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood.Although Liu Biao was becoming more and more proud, he still considered himself a Han retainer. Although he knew that the imperial court was controlled by Cao Cao, he still had to ignore the explicit edicts made by the emperor.
