Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

In the third year of Jian'an, it falls in March.

In the lush spring scenery, General Cao Ang personally led hundreds of thousands of cavalry, including the Hussars and Beiwei troops, and sent troops north from Xudu.

At the same time, 80,000 troops including Zang Ba, Wu Dun, and Yin Li also marched north from Taishan County to Qingzhou.

When Cao Ang marched to the north of Xudu City for dozens of miles, he saw a group of soldiers covered with dust coming from the mountain and caught up with Cao Ang's army.

The visitor was riding a red rabbit horse, wearing a green robe and a white mourning dress. The silk scarf on his head was also wrapped with a white silk ribbon, which was obviously a period of observing mourning.

A long beard flutters in the wind, and he carries a Qinglong Yanyue Sword, showing a heroic appearance.

It was Guan Yu.

The filial piety worn by Guan Yu was precisely for the sake of his sworn brother Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.

Last year, during the decisive battle between Yuan's army and Cao's army, Guan Yu was entrusted by Cao Ang to lead Liang Gang and other 40,000 new Huainan troops back to Xudu to defend the emperor and the court.

Later, I learned that my brother Liu Bei was ordered to lead 30,000 troops and go north to join Gongsun Zan, but he directly abducted 30,000 Cao troops and surrendered to Yuan Shao.

At that time, Guan Yu was quite surprised and felt that what his brother had done was a bit unjust.

Cao Ang did not treat the three brothers badly. Even when he destroyed Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, he did not hesitate to employ people and gave them the opportunity to command troops and horses, and to receive rewards for their meritorious service.

Even if you don't want to live under the Cao family, you should say goodbye in a dignified way.

Even if you leave a 25 letter, it is considered decent to lead your old team to leave.

But his brother directly abducted 30,000 Cao's troops, and the nominal court troops surrendered to Yuan Shao, and even left his sworn brother Guan Yu in Xudu.

Guan Yu's situation was once a bit embarrassing.

He had the intention to follow his brother, but he received the favor of Cao Ang and the great trust of guarding the emperor.

As a matter of emotion and reason, you must not abandon it until the task is completed.

Guan Yu even thought that as his brother defected to Yuan Shao, Guan Yu would not be trusted and would be deprived of his military power to lead troops to protect Xudu.

At that time, Guan Yu will appeal to Cao Ang in a moral way and ask Cao Ang to let him leave.

Or, within the scope of your ability, you can repay Cao Ang's kindness and then resign.

He felt that Cao Ang was a loyal man and would not stop him.

But unexpectedly, Cao Ang did not deprive Guan Yu of his military power. He even sent someone to tell Guan Yu that there was no need to worry. He believed that Guan Yu was of noble character and would protect Xu Du and the emperor.

He also told Guan Yu that if he wanted to follow his brother, as long as Guan Yu asked, Cao Ang would agree and would not take away the righteousness of brotherhood.

They even asked Xun Yu and Cao Ren of Xudu to allocate the red rabbit horse captured from Lu Bu from the racecourse to Guan Yu.

So if Guan Yu wants to find his brother, he can meet Liu Bei faster with this famous red rabbit horse.

Guan Yu couldn't help but be deeply moved by Cao Ang's attitude.

But at the same time, the more benevolent and righteous Cao Ang was to treat him, the more Guan Yu was unwilling to be an ungrateful person, so he said goodbye.

Therefore, Guan Yu thought about guarding Xudu and completing this task to repay Cao Ang's kindness.

Anyway, if he stayed in Xudu, he wouldn't have to go to the battlefield to fight his brother and the Yuan army he had surrendered to.

But he didn't expect that the last thing Guan Yu was waiting for was the news that his brother Liu Bei and his third brother Zhang Fei had been killed by Yuan Shao...

When he learned the bad news, Guan Yu was so sad and angry that he wished he could immediately pick up the knife to kill Yuan Shao. First level, to avenge his elder brother and third brother.

Then follow the sworn brothers underground.

Before Guan Yu could ask for orders to set off, he learned that Yuan's army had been defeated and that Yuan Shao had been denounced by Cao Ang and died in front of the battle.

This made Guan Yu feel happy but also a little regretful.

It is a pity that Yuan Shao died too early and too quickly, and he did not have the opportunity to kill Yuan Shao himself and avenge his sworn brothers Liu and Zhang Fei.

But he was also somewhat grateful to Cao Ang, who scolded Yuan Shao to death.

After all, it can be regarded as revenge for Guan Yu.

Later, the body of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei was brought back from the front line and handed over to Liu Bei's widows, Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan, and his sworn brother Guan Yu for burial.

Since Liu Bei betrayed the imperial court and surrendered to Yuan Shao during the war, although his body was sent back, there was no reward.

Guan Yu also knew that because of his brother Liu Bei's actions, the Xudu court did not pursue him for the crime of treason, but pursued his family, which was just taking care of him, let alone giving him a reward.

When they were sworn brothers in Taoyuan, they had agreed to die on the same day, same year, same month.

Therefore, Guan Yu, who originally wanted to follow Liu Bei underground, was persuaded by others. Although his brother Liu Bei died, his wife was still alive, that is, his two sisters-in-law were still alive.

In order to take care of his brother's widow, Guan Yu could not commit suicide easily.

What's more, Guan Yu has not yet repaid the kindness he received from Cao Ang. His wife was pregnant after being diagnosed and treated by Cao Ang in May and June last year, and she is about to give birth to an heir.

Therefore, Guan Yu had no choice but to endure the pain and buried his brother Liu Bei and his adopted brother Zhang Fei on the outskirts of Xudu, and then began to build a house in front of the graves to observe filial piety.

Throughout the winter, there was no wind or snow.

The period of filial piety was originally at least three years.

However, Guan Yu heard that Cao Ang was launching a northern expedition, so he temporarily left the tomb of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and brought Xiao to accompany him.

First, it is to repay Cao Ang for his kindness and kindness.

Second, it is to satisfy the hatred in my heart!

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were killed by Yuan Shao, and Guan Yu did not have the opportunity to take revenge by killing Yuan Shao.

Guan Yu naturally did not want to miss this northern expedition against the Yuan brothers, that is, Yuan Shao's disciples.

In this era, there is no such thing as independent debts between parents and children, but about the repayment of debts by fathers and children!

What's more, the Yuan brothers inherited Yuan Shao's inheritance. Even if it is left to future generations, they will naturally bear Yuan Shao's debts.

So, Yuan Shao kills Guan Yu's brother, and Guan Yu kills Yuan Shao's son, isn't it too much?

Of course it’s not excessive and it’s reasonable!

"General, the last general is willing to be the vanguard in front of the formation for the general to drive.

I only wish I could have the opportunity to cut off the heads of those Yuan Shao disciples to comfort the souls of my elder brother and third brother!

Please give permission, General!"

Guan Yu rode a red rabbit horse to Cao Ang and surrendered to the army on the way. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Seeing that Guan Yu temporarily stopped staying in the house to observe filial piety, but instead took filial piety and surrendered to the army, how could Cao Ang refuse?

It would be great for such a brave general to be willing to serve in front of the battle.

On the contrary, if he only established a house outside Xudu City to observe filial piety, it would be a waste of three years.

So Cao Ang readily agreed:"General Guan has this intention. , I naturally want to give a loyal man like General Guan a chance for revenge.

General Guan will join the army. I will hand over the three thousand light cavalry of the Hussars to General Guan."

Now Cao Ang's command has divided the five thousand valiant cavalry troops and handed them over to Jia Xu, Xu Huang and others who were conquering Jiangdong, and Cao Ren, Wang Yanzhang and others who were marching to Nanyang to encroach on Jingzhou. Therefore, for the time being, the cavalry only has the hussar troops and Beiwei troops. The flying cavalry army and the flying cavalry army, which was mainly cavalry returned from Hebei.

The flying cavalry army was handed over to the command of Zhang Liao and Zhang He, and Cao Ang himself was directly under the command of the back Wei army. Only the original hussars army had the vacant general position.

The original With the Five Hussars, Zhang Liao went to lead the Flying Cavalry Army. Xu Chu and Hu Che'er temporarily served as Xu You's lieutenants and joined the First Division of the Hebei New Army.

Wang Yanzhang was sent by Cao Ang to serve as Cao Ren's lieutenant, and only Li Cun Li Cunxiao was still among the hussars.

Now that the general Guan Yu had arrived at 850, Cao Ang happened to let Li Cunxiao directly command the two thousand black armored hussars, and handed over the other three thousand light cavalry to Guan Yu..

The Hussars Qingqi are also the ones who have the best chance to be the vanguard, which can just satisfy Guan Yu's request to be the vanguard.

This move made Guan Yu extremely grateful:"Thank you so much, General!"

At this moment, Guan Yu could be said to have completely returned his heart to Cao Ang!

But around Cao Ang, the few generals who knew the inside story couldn't help but secretly sigh, it must be his own son.[]

After all, if it really comes down to it, although Liu Bei and Zhang Fei died at the hands of Yuan Shao, the mastermind behind the scenes was Cao Ang who committed the murder with a borrowed knife...

Guan Yu should be regarded as an enemy, and Cao Ang should also be a part of it.

However, this matter is extremely top-secret, and no one except Li Cunxiao, Xu Chu, Jin Yiwei and other absolute confidants, as well as Guo Jia Jia Xu and other die-hard civil and military personnel of the old Cao family, know about it.

Guan Yu will never know.

With the addition of Guan Yu, the lineup of generals of the Northern Expedition became even more powerful.

Li Cunxiao, Guan Yu, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Hu Che'er, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Jiang Qi, Xu You... except for Xu You who came in as an adviser to the governor, they were all famous generals in history!

Even General Cao Ang, who had not yet surrendered but was already a guest, brought Ju Shuo and Tian Feng with him...

His determination to decide the four states of Hebei in one battle was very obvious.

In this way, in five days, Cao Ang marched to Baimajin on the south bank of Liyang!

The time has also entered the beginning of April in the third year of Jian'an. It is the time when the grass is growing, the peach blossoms are in bloom, and the spring scenery is bright. It is one of the most comfortable seasons of the year!

On the north bank, the 300,000-strong army of brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were in a state of solemn killing and were already ready!.
