Chapter 2254 City of Hearts
Guan Yu sat cross-legged in the tent, his eyes draped down, his hands stroking his knees, and he didn't move, like a stone sculpture. Except for the armor and the ropes were untied, he was no different from when he was captured, and even the dust on his beard was not cleaned up, tied and stuck together.
There was a vegetarian table in front of him, with a bowl of rice, a plate of sauce, a bowl of vegetables, and a salted fish on it, but it was not moved.
Apart from breathing and heartbeat, he was no different from a dead person. He had been sitting like this for two days, without eating or drinking. Most of the three-day limit for Sun Ce to take his head was over. He did not feel that he was wrong, nor did he want to compromise for the sake of his life, and he was calmly waiting for the arrival of the last moment. His only hope was to see his father.
There were rapid footsteps outside the tent, and someone rushed over. When they approached the tent, the man slid and fell heavily to the ground. Someone snatched it from the side and said repeatedly: "Mr. Guan, are you okay?"
"Eternal Life! Eternal Life!" An old and anxious voice sounded.
Don't go to the voice of his father Guan Yi. Guan Yu opened his eyes and instantly shone cold light and his body jumped up. His reaction was very sensitive, but he forgot that he had been sitting for two days, his legs were numb, and his grains of rice had not entered, and his body was weak. As soon as he got up, he felt his legs like a needle. With a "thump", he fell to the ground, his head stretched out of the tent, but his body was still in the tent.
Guan Yi also lay outside the tent, holding his head up, and trying his best to look inside the tent. The father and son looked at each other and burst into tears. Both of them were deeply engulfed in their cheeks, their expressions were haggard, and their eyebrows looked a little similar. But after a few days, Guan Yi's hair turned white, which was very dazzling in the sun.
"Changsheng..." Guan Yi struggled to sit up, holding Guan Yu's face, and shed tears before he could speak.
He was in Lunu City, and from the day Sun Ce besieged the city, he was worried about Guan Yu. Because Guan Yu had just passed by Lunu two days ago and was the reinforcement closest to Lunu. With his personality, he learned that Lunu was surrounded and would definitely return to the rescue. Guan Yi has always been confident in his son and felt that he had the talent of a general and no one could be his opponent, but this time the situation was different. He was facing the King of Wu Sun Ce this time.
Guan Yi lived in Yuzhou for a while, and later lived in Xiangyang for several years. He knew Sun Ce much more than Guan Yu. Not to mention anything else, Xu Huang, who had a close relationship with Guan Yu, admired Sun Ce. Before Guan Yi left Xiangyang, Xu Huang had a special talk with him once, hoping that he would have the opportunity to persuade Guan Yu to follow Sun Ce and not follow Liu Bei to the dark side. Liu Bei was neither Sun Ce's opponent nor Guan Yu's talent. Guan Yu would not have any good results in following him. Guan Yi persuaded Guan Yu, but every time he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Guan Yu. Guan Yu was easy to say anything else, and he obeyed Guan Yi, but he didn't like to listen to this.
After delaying to this point, Guan Yu finally faced Sun Ce. Guan Yi was worried about Guan Yu's safety. Sun Ce sent someone to persuade him to surrender, and Guan Jing ordered his surrender. When the two armies handed over defense, Sun Ce sent someone to find him. When he learned that Guan Yu was captured, there was only one day left in three days, and Guan Yu could not see any repentance, he was so scared that his legs were weak. He ran along the way, and I don't know how many falls he fell.
Holding Guan Yu who had lost weight, Guan Yi burst into tears.
Guan Yu felt bad, but he didn't want people to cry when he saw him. He brought Guan Yi into the tent. Seeing those foods that had not been moved, Guan Yi burst into tears again. "Changsheng, do you really want to send a black-haired man to your father, do you have a queen of the Guan family?"
"Ahon, a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated."
"Why did the King of Wu insult you? He just hopes that you can regret it. The sage also said: No one has any mistakes, and if you correct them, there is no great thing."
"What's wrong with me?"
"You..." Seeing that you were about to fall into a endless and unsuccessful debate, Guan Yi was anxious and angry, and raised his hand and slapped him in the face. "What have you ever done? You... You contradict me, you are unfilial!"
Guan Yu lowered his head and did not move. Guan Yi was so angry that he couldn't speak and cried. When the father and son mentioned this topic, they always ended up in this situation. He had no choice but to do with this son.
"Yeah, cough!" A light cough came from outside the tent, and Liu Ye's voice sounded. "Guan Gong, can I come in?"
Guan Yi had already met Liu Ye, and the one who came to the city to negotiate with Guan Jing was Liu Ye, and told him that Guan Yu was captured. He heard Liu Ye's voice, Guan Yi raised a glimmer of hope. He heard Guan Jing say that Liu Ye was once the emperor's secretary order, and he was resourceful, and maybe he could convince Guan Yu.
"Please come in, please come in." Guan Yi wiped his tears with his sleeves, forced a smile on his face, invited Liu Ye in, and glared at Guan Yu fiercely, making him be polite. Guan Yu turned a blind eye and didn't even look at Liu Ye.
Liu Ye didn't mind either, and smiled. "Chang Yun, you don't agree, right?"
Guan Yu raised his eyelids, glanced at Liu Ye, and snorted.
"How about this, tell me, if you let you go, how do you plan to defeat our army? If it makes sense, I will go to see the King of Wu and let you go again so that you can lose with confidence."
"You can..."
"What's wrong?" Liu Ye smiled and said, "There are many generals under the tent of King Wu, and you are not short of you. You have also seen that there is no one of the four generals of Yisong, the infantry and cavalry, who are inferior to Yun Chang. In fact, this time, there is no need to fight with Yisong, the infantry and cavalry. Any general in the central army can defeat Yun Chang, but the casualties will be slightly greater."
Guan Yu's eyes twitched, and he was as angry as a tiger. Liu Ye was unmoved and looked at Guan Yu with a smile. "Speaking of this, you are also a general who has been in charge of military command for many years, not a newcomer who has just begun to appear on the battlefield. Think about it carefully, besides your personal courage, military training, soldiers, and morale, which one of you has the chance of winning?" Liu Ye said, pointing to the food case in front of Guan Yu. "No matter what, do your subordinates have such food?"
Guan Yu was speechless. He knew that Sun Ce treated his soldiers well and his food supply was always better than others. He was imprisoned for two days, and the soldiers outside the tent ate two meals a day, each meal had fish or meat. Although the quantity was not large, it was also amazing that the supply of supplies in Wu was abundant. Not to mention other weapons, training, which were obvious to all.
As Liu Ye said, even if he was asked to fight again, even if Sun Ce did not fight in person, he could defeat him by sending any general in the central army to fight, but it was just a matter of how many casualties. A battle of ten thousand people, the victory or defeat never depends on the courage of the general, unless he could take advantage of his unpreparedness to kill the general and seize the flag. However, such things have never been encountered. He once killed the general Yan Liang and Gao Lan at the time of battle, and it is clearest about this. If the opponent is prepared and then fights, killing the general is almost impossible. Not to mention anything else, a one-time crossbow shooting can shoot you into a hedgehog.
No matter how fast Chitu is, can he be faster than the arrow?
"No? To be fair, for the State of Wu, Yunchang is insignificant and has no effect on life and death. The reason why you are still alive is because the King of Wu cannot bear to slander the request of Grand Historian Ziyi, Xu Zhongkang, and Dianzigu. The most important thing is that you don't want your father to lose his wife in middle age and then his son in old age. But if you are stubborn, even if the King of Wu is willing to spare you, I will strongly advise the King of Wu to kill you with the law of the military."
After Liu Ye finished speaking, he stood up and slowly tidied up his sleeves. "The clouds are long, and there is not much time left. Take care of yourself. Even if you want to die, you should die more clearly. Don't be a fool." After saying that, he turned around and left. Guan Yu did not move, his face was gray, his forehead was covered in sweat, densely packed, and layered.
Guan Yi became anxious and stood up and chased him out. Liu Ye was waiting for him in the distance, waving his hand with a smile, and whispered: "Guan Gong, Yun Chang is extremely brave and powerful. He should be a general. His only weakness is his self-conceit. Now, the plan can only be made to remove mistakes and mistakes, and he will return to the wrong path. Just like building a knife, without any hardening and tempering, how can he remove impurities? "
Guan Yi woke up from his dream and bowed his hands to thank him repeatedly.
Guan Yu sat in the tent, but his heart was turbulent and turbulent. He repeatedly chewed Liu Ye's words, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt ashamed. What was he so proud of? In terms of martial arts, Taishici, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and many people were comparable to him. In terms of military use, no one or two people were stronger than him. Think deeper, his so-called strength was filled with the shadow of Sun Ce, armor, sword, and even his martial arts were influenced by the Seven Kills of Breaking the Front and Seven Kills. Without the exchange of Xu Chu, Taishici and others, his martial arts had stagnated in recent years.
I once thought I was invincible in the world, but when I thought about it carefully, these were just self-deceptions. I was over 10 years old and achieved nothing, but I was still self-righteous like an ignorant boy, which made my father sad, my friends worried, and others laughed at me.
Why did Liu Bei leave without fighting? It’s not that he has no confidence in me and does not believe that I can hold on until he comes to reinforce, so he gave up Yecheng, Zhongshan, and me without hesitation. For him, I have never been as important and indispensable as I imagined. Or, he had long wanted to give up on me, just as he took Zhang Fei away from Yuzhou and rushed to Chang'an, but left me in Yuzhou.
That's right, he should do this. Why did he accomplish nothing in Yuzhou? It's all because of me, the Battle of Xiaoxian and the Battle of Xiaohuang. Which battle was not because of my recklessness that it was trapped?
The past events surged into my heart. The more I thought about it, the more I felt ashamed, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt ridiculous he was. I couldn't help laughing loudly, the laughter was as shrill as a sausage. All the pride continued to collapse like spring ice, turning into tears, wetting her clothes.
Guan Yi knelt outside the tent, listening to Guan Yu's heart-wrenching cry, constantly wiping his tears. No one knows his son is better than his father. When he hears this unprecedented cry, he can feel the pain in Guan Yu's heart, but he is also full of hope. He looks forward to Guan Yu removing his obsessions in his heart as Liu Ye said, and transforming into steel in the flames, becoming a real hero.
