Chapter 498 The Whereabouts of Guan Yu

On the third day of the first month of the third year of Chuping, Guo Tai and other Baibo thieves cooperated with Pingyang Wei Yang Feng to attack Pingyang County. Pingyang Chang and Pingyang Cheng died in battle.

Immediately, Yang Feng pretended to be defeated and fled to Linfen. The governor of Linfen let Yang Feng into the city without noticing.

The defeated soldiers in Linfen escaped from Fenshui and reported to Guan Qiuxing in Jiangyi. While asking for help from Yinfei, the prefect of Hedong, Guan Qiuxing sent people to Jinyang.

It was already the twelfth day when Jin Yang got the news, and Liu Bei had been resting and bathing according to the Han law during these days.

When Liu Bei got the news of Xi Zhicai, he immediately summoned his advisers and generals to discuss matters.

For a time, there were a lot of talents in the Liu Mansion. The advisers included Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Jian Yong, Gu Yong, Liu He, etc. The generals were headed by Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and Zhang He, Zhao Yun, etc. were arranged in order.

The generals were discussing the sudden rumors of the resurgence of the Baibo bandits in the city in the afternoon, especially in Zhang Fei's loud voice: "The little Baibo bandits keep harassing Hedong again and again. I'm really impatient. Give a certain 1000 people Ma a certain Squeeze the Baibo thief, how will this Baibo thief play?"

As soon as Zhang Fei's words came out, Guan Yu's face changed from red to bright red. He was under his rule in Hedong. Now that he had just left Hedong, the Baibo bandits rebelled. Didn't this slap him in the face?Zhang Fei's quarrel made him panic even more. He has tens of thousands of mercenaries in Hedong. He can be said to be the most powerful general under Liu Bei's command. With the most food and pay, he even made the little white wave thief come back. It's really shameful!

"My lord is here!"

When Dian Wei shouted loudly, the room was suddenly quiet.

As Liu Bei's authority grew stronger, the Han law and Han etiquette compiled by Xun Yue and other Confucian scholars were more and more accepted by the soldiers, and even Zhang Fei also practiced the Han etiquette. Zhang Fei has learned the Han etiquette since he was a child.

"See your lord."

All the people Liu Bei came in and came out one after another to bow to each other.

In the Han Dynasty, except for formal occasions such as worshiping ancestors and heaven and earth, people generally did not perform the ceremony of three knocks and nine bows. Small-scale discussions like Liu Bei were sufficient.

"Sit down, gentlemen."

Even though seats were popular in Jinyang, no one dared to propose removing the seats in the Han Dynasty, and even Liu Bei did not dare to kneel down and salute on formal occasions.

"You guys must have known: Hedong Baiboqi, I don't know what suggestions you guys have?"

Liu Bei was wearing a deep robe, a high crown on his head, and a hundred-refined first knife in his waist. He looked at everyone with dignity and said slowly.

"Returning to the lord, the return of the Baibo thief is due to Yu's lax rule. I dare to ask the lord to punish him."

Guan Yu took the lead to plead guilty.

Guan Yu pleaded guilty, no one in the room dared to speak, not Guan Yu's weight, but because the matter involved Liu Bei himself, Guan Yu is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, and Liu Bei has no real brothers, this matter is almost like a family matter, Liu Bei does not express his opinion, there is really no one Dare to talk nonsense.

"Today is not punishing crimes, but discussing how to calm down the white wave bandits?"

Liu Bei waved his hand to make Guan Yu retreat. It turned out that the Baibo Rebellion was another farce indulged by Xi Zhicai and others.

But Liu Bei suddenly asked Xi Zhicai to go to Chang'an, and asked him to stay with his confidant and cooperate with Guo Jia's army department to secretly transfer the elite soldiers under his command to Hedong.

In April of the third year of Chuping, Wang Yun conspired to kill Dong Zhuo.

Liu Bei will never forget this important event, including letting Xi Zhicai go to Chang'an for this matter. Once Dong Zhuo dies, Chang'an must be empty. Once Li Jue and Guo Si counterattack Chang'an, Liu Bei will be able to raise an army out of Hedong and enter Sanfu earth.

Liu Bei had discussed this matter with Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Gu Yong for a long time, and today he wanted to have a complete showdown with the generals and mobilize troops to Hedong.

"My lord, since the Baibo bandits rebelled under a certain rule, please go back to Hedong and destroy the Baibo bandits personally."

Guan Yu said please.

Liu Bei looked at him and remained silent, Guo Jia stepped forward and said: "My lord, the last time I killed the Baibo bandits, I am willing to go to Hedong again this time."

"Wouldn't it seem that there is no one in Jinyang for a little Baibo thief to let the military division take action? Brother, I am willing to go to Hedong."

How could Zhang Fei let go of such a good opportunity to lead troops to the expedition.

"Hedong is important, Hanoi has a lot of Yuan troops, and the three generals are inseparable."

Guo Jia also disagreed.

Zhang Fei stared angrily.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Yun who was sitting still, and suddenly said, "Jun Yi, now you can recover your vitality."

Hearing this, Zhang He came out and said: "The Imperial Forest Army is on standby at any time, please give the order, my lord."

"Let's take your troops as the vanguard, and Gu Yong will go down the Fenshui River as the military advisor."

Liu Bei spoke.

"Here!"

Zhang He returned to the ranks.

Liu Bei watched the generals react, Guan Yu sat on his knees, his head down, wondering what to think, Zhang Fei sighed with his head down, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were still fine.

"The new year is coming to an end, and we can't have no strategic goals as the outside world says. Gentlemen, tell us which direction we should choose for development?"

As soon as Liu Bei's words came out, all the generals showed joy, including Zhao Yun. After all, it is good to have a battle.

Jian Yong took the lead and said: "My lord, no matter which direction we develop, we have to wait for the spring plowing."

"It's natural."

Jian Yong's words show that he is qualified as the prefect of Taiyuan. In the Han Dynasty, governance by inaction was emphasized. Although the government orders came from the prefectures and counties, most of them were done by local Confucian scholars. There will be no major problems in the county.

Liu Bei sent a large number of students to practice in various counties and counties, which weakened the power of the prefects of the entire county and counties. Many powers were shared by multiple people, and some prefects became seals.

Xun Yu came out and said: "My lord, there is nothing in the north, and Gongsun and Yuan Shao are fighting endlessly in the east. You don't need to get involved. The south is Luoyang. Once the lord marches into Henan, the alliance with Yuan Shu will naturally disintegrate."

"So it can only be west."

Zhang Fei said with bright eyes.

Xun Yu nodded: "That's right, the west is under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou. Now Liangzhou Qiang and Hu are rampant. They have suffered from peace for a long time. My lord and the army will be welcomed by Liangzhou's scholars and people, and they can fight against Han Sui and Ma Teng. The righteousness of a thief."

Zhang Fei nodded again and again, and suddenly saw Guo Jiarao looking at him with interest, thinking of Guo Jia's words before, he couldn't help but feel dejected, no matter where he goes, he doesn't belong?
Xi Zhicai suddenly said: "There are so many brave people in Xiliang, so you must find a general who is familiar with Xiliang's situation when you leave Xiliang this time?"

As soon as Xi Zhicai's words came out, all the generals looked at Guan Yu, because he was the only general among the generals who had stayed in Xiliang, and Guan Yu was also shocked. It seems that Liu Bei refused to let him lead the army because Baibo suffered from scabies and had a cold The state is the business.

"Well! Guan Yu listened to the order, with Er as the vanguard, Guo Jia as the military adviser, and Zhao Yun and Xia Mou's troops under your command. They will leave Jinyang in February."

"Here!"
