Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 250 Behind the Scenes
You Lang bowed to everyone around him and then spoke.

"This is God's will, not my brothers'. General Liu was magnanimous and let us go. I thought that General Liu was so kind and righteous, and he was definitely not the treacherous and treacherous person that our benefactor said he would harm the country. So we decided to go find our benefactor and find out the reason."

"Yes, at that time my brother and I firmly believed that there was definitely a misunderstanding between the benefactor and General Liu, so my eldest brother and I wanted to go to the benefactor's house to ask him for clarification."

At this time, You Lang's eyes showed a bit of anger.

"How could we know that the benefactor was not at home? We asked a servant we knew and learned that the benefactor had gone to the residence of Bingzhou Beijia to discuss important matters. My brother and I were worried that they would discuss how to deal with Lord Liu again because of these misunderstandings, so we hurried over to find out what was going on. Who would have thought..."

When Zhang Yong saw the two brothers talking about this, they both looked a little angry.

"What? Could it be that what they are discussing is enough to make God and the world angry?"

You Lang nodded somewhat heavily.

"We two thought that what they were discussing might not be about dealing with Lord Liu. It would be inappropriate to barge in like this, so we sneaked into the residence of the deputy driver and hid on the roof, hoping to make plans after hearing everything clearly. Unexpectedly, what they were discussing in the house was exactly how to eliminate Lord Liu!"

Guan Yu and others were immediately furious.

"These thieves are so bold, we can't let them go!"

Liu He waved his hand and said, "Brothers, please be patient and listen to what Brother You has to say."

You Lang continued, "They made three plans. They instigated Zhang Yan to launch a surprise attack, sent spies to open the city gates and lure in the Xianbei, and at the same time sent 10,000 people disguised as thieves to attack Langtiao County."

"It turns out that this Xianbei army was also attracted by their notification. These people actually colluded with the enemy. Aren't they afraid of having their entire clans executed?"

Everyone present was filled with indignation.

These people of mine have been holding on to the border with great difficulty, and have put in so much effort and endured so much hardship in order to train a force that could confront the Xianbei head-on. These people are under my protection, so it would have been fine if they didn't help, but they actually turned around and helped the enemy!
You Lang sighed, "Alas, my brother and I heard all this and we already knew in our hearts that our benefactor was probably deceiving us with his clever words and wanted us to be scapegoats for murdering loyal people. But at that time, we were still unwilling to accept it and even wanted to meet the benefactor later to have a good confrontation. How foolish we were."

Ye Xiang said: "He saved your lives, gave you a year to recover from your injuries, and gave you a new life. It is understandable that you would have such thoughts."

You Lang shook his head.

"Alas, stupidity is stupidity, and no excuse can cover it up. Over the past year, the two of us have done many wrong things because of this favor, and almost caused a disaster. If I hadn't overheard something this time, I'm afraid the outcome of everything would be unknown now."

Everyone asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

You Lang sighed, "I'm sure you all know that the two of us are descendants of the You family, a military family in Shangjun. More than eight years ago, our family was tragically wiped out, and only my two brothers escaped."

Everyone nodded. Cui Jun had mentioned this before.

"My brother tried his best to find out the reason afterwards. In the end, he only knew that some powerful families who had a grudge against my father secretly murdered him, which led to his defeat in a battle and the extermination of the whole family. However, we have never had the opportunity to find out the details."

Guan Yu and others' expressions changed slightly.

"Could it be that your father's misfortune this time is actually related to these families that are targeting us?"

You Lang said: "General Guan has a keen eye and is absolutely accurate. It is indeed true."

At this time, You Ming gritted his teeth and said, "When my elder brother and I were about to leave, we heard one of the family heads surnamed Liu suddenly mention something about the You family in Shangjun. I was immediately struck by lightning. After they dispersed, I secretly followed them and captured this Liu family head. Under severe torture, I learned the truth!"

The two brothers took a deep breath, trying to calm their chests which were already heaving violently.

"It turns out that eight years ago, a few families actually controlled the food supply of the border troops in Shangjun. They secretly withheld the high-quality military rations sent by the court and replaced them with old grains mixed with fur, chaff and sand. This way, they made huge profits."

"Many high-ranking generals in the army were bribed by them, but my father was the only one who refused to join them and decided to report to the court to investigate their crimes!" "As a result, these families held a grudge and sent spies in the army to open the city gates at night, attracting the Huns to enter the city and plunder. This led to the great defeat that year, and the massacre of the entire You family!"

When the two men said this, they clenched their fists, opened their eyes wide, and veins bulged on their arms. They were extremely angry.

Everyone present was also furious.

"I never thought these traitors would do such evil things! If we don't get rid of them today, they will definitely do more harm to the country and the people in the future!"

Cheng Liang hated evil the most, so he took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, I beg you to lead a group of soldiers to defeat these thieves!"

"I am willing to go too!"

Zhu Ye also stood beside Cheng Liang and asked for orders.

"We can discuss this later. You two should stand aside and let Brother You continue speaking."

The two returned to their seats, and the You brothers' mood calmed down a little.

"My second brother and I were so angry that we wanted to kill Liu and then seek revenge on the thief! But we just raised our knives and put them down again."

Cheng Liang asked: "Why? If we don't kill such a vicious villain with a knife, what use is there?"

Shi Tao said, "Third General, if we really killed the head of the Liu family at that time, our lord would have one less bargaining chip to deal with these families in the future."

You Lang nodded and said, "Yes, I suddenly thought that there are not many participants in the incident back then who are still alive today. It was not easy to catch the head of the Liu family. If he was killed like this, wouldn't he be eliminating a witness? Now they want to repeat what happened back then and murder Lord Liu. The two of us just need to inform Lord Liu of the matter, and then crush their conspiracy. Then, we can turn around and use these testimonies to bring them down legitimately. Wouldn't that be a better way to avenge our You family?"

"Good!" Guan Yu couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

"You two are very wise and righteous. I admire you very much!"

You Lang and You Ming apologized to Guan Yu, "I don't deserve it, General Guan, thank you for your praise. We almost accepted the enemy as our father and caused great trouble. Now I am just making up for it a little."

Zhu Ye shouted, "Oh, I understand. Big brother received the letters from the two of them and learned about the plans of those families, so he arranged them one by one and defeated the three armies one by one!"

"Haha, Dehui is smart for once, but that's exactly what happened."

Liu He stood up and walked in front of the You brothers.

"Although you two have made mistakes in the past, they were also deceived by villains, not to mention that the big mistake has not yet been made. Now that you two can turn back in time and make such a great contribution to the people of Yanmen and the Han Dynasty, you deserve Liu's respect!"

Liu He bowed deeply, which frightened the You brothers.

"Master Liu, you must not do this. You must not do this. How can the two of us dare to accept this? Please stand up immediately!"

Liu He grabbed the hands of the two men and said earnestly, "I am a humble man, but I would like to invite you two warriors to join my Anmin Army to protect the country and the people and serve the Han Dynasty. What do you think?"

The two were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.

"Lord Liu means that the two of us can also become members of the Yanmen Border Army?"

"Of course you can. You two are both extraordinary in martial arts and loyal. If you can join us, it will be a great blessing for the people of Yanmen!"
