Chapter 40 Kill the Caiyang Brothers' Association for Interpreting Doubts Gathering in the Ancient City (1)

But Guan Gong and Sun Qianbao's second sister-in-law set out for Runan, but Xia Hou Dun did not want to lead more than three hundred horses and chase them from behind. Sun Qian keeps the chariot going. Lord Guan turned back, reined in his horse and pressed his sword, and said, "You have lost the prime minister's magnanimity when you come to catch me." Lord Xia Dun said, "The prime minister has no written report. You killed people on the road and killed my generals. It's rude! I came here to catch you and offer it to the prime minister!" When he finished speaking, he slapped his horse and drew out his gun to fight.

A horse flew up behind him and shouted, "Don't fight with cloud commander!" Guan Gong held the bridle. The envoy took out the official document in his arms, saying that Xia Hou Dun said: "The prime minister respects the loyalty of Guan General, and is afraid of being intercepted by the pass, so he sent some special official document to go everywhere." Dun said: "Guan killed the guard officers on the road, does the prime minister know?" The envoy said: "This is unknown." Dun said: "I only catch him alive to see the prime minister, and wait for the prime minister to release him." Guan said angrily: "I am not afraid of you!" Clap the horse and hold the knife. Go straight to Xiahou Dun.

Dun raised his gun to meet him. The two horses met, and the battle did not break out. Suddenly, another horse flew up and shouted: "Don't rest, Second General!" Dun stopped his gun and asked the envoy: "Did the Prime Minister call me to arrest Guan?" The envoy said: "No. The Prime Minister was afraid that the generals guarding Guan would block Guan, so he sent some official documents to let him pass." Dun said: "Did the Prime Minister know that he killed people on the road?" The envoy said: "I don't know." Dun said: "You can't let him go because you don't know his killing." He commanded his sergeant to surround Guan Gong. The Duke of Guan was furious and waved his sword to fight. Just as the two were about to fight, a man came flying from behind the array and shouted, "Don't fight, Yun Chang and Yuan Rang!" Zhang Liaoya was widely regarded as such. Each of them reined in his horse. Zhang Liao said in a recent preface: "Under the prime minister Jun's order, I was sent to tell all the passes and let them pass because I heard that Yun Chang had killed the generals in the pass. I was afraid that the road would be blocked." Dun said: "Qin Qi is Cai Yang's nephew. He entrusted Qin Qi to me and was killed by Guan. How can he rest. ”Xiahou Dun had to retreat from the general. Liao said, "Where does Cloud Head want to go today?" Guan Gong said, "I heard that my elder brother is not at Yuan Shao's place, and I will look for him all over the world today." Liao said, "I don't know Xuande's whereabouts, and I will see the Prime Minister again. How about that?" Guan Gong laughed, "It's reasonable! Wen Yuan will see the Prime Minister again, and fortunately he will apologize for me." After that, he and Zhang Liao bowed their hands and said goodbye. So Zhang Liao and Xia Houdun led their troops back.

Guan Gong caught up with the car fight and told Sun Qian about it. They walked together. After several days, it suddenly rained heavily, and the luggage was wet. In the distance, there is a manor near the mountain. Guan Gong leads the chariot fight to stay there. An old man in the village welcomes him. Guan Gong has his own words and intentions.

The old man said, "I have a surname of Guo and a name of Chang. I have lived here all my life. I have heard of him for a long time, but I am lucky to pay him a visit." So Zaiyang treated him with wine and asked the two ladies to take a rest in the back hall. Guo Chang accompanied Guan Gong and Sun Qian to drink in the Thatched Cottage. Bake luggage while feeding horses. At dusk, I suddenly saw a young man, introducing people into the village and going to the grass hall. Guo Chang called, "My son has come to worship the general." Because Guan Gong said, "This stupid man is also." Guan Gong asked where he came from. Chang said, "The hunting party returns." The young man saw Guan Gong and went down to the hall. Chang wept and said, "I studied and passed on my family. I stopped giving birth to this son. I didn't do my own work, but I only did hunting. It's a misfortune for my family!" Guan Gong said, "In today's troubled times, if he is proficient in martial arts, he can also earn an official title. What misfortune is that?" Chang said, "If he is willing to learn martial arts, he will be an ambitious person.

Today, I wander around and do everything: I worry about my ears! " Guan Gong also sighed.

Further, Guo Chang resigned. When Guan Gong and Sun Qianfang were about to go to bed, they heard the horse neighing in the backyard. Guan Gong urged others to follow him, but he did not answer. Instead, he raised his sword with Sun Qian and looked at him. The son of Guo Chang fell to the ground and shouted, while his followers were fighting with the banker. Ask the public why. The disciple said, "This man came to steal the Red Hare horse and was kicked down by the horse. We heard the call and got up to patrol. The villagers came to fight." The public anger said, "How dare a rat thief steal my horse!" Just before the attack, Guo often ran to tell him, "Bu Xiaozi is guilty of this evil thing, and his crime is a death! Old Nai's wife loves him most and asks the general for mercy!" Guan Gong said, "This son is really unworthy. Just now, as the old man said, he really knows that there is no son like his father. I look at Weng's face and forgive him." So he paid his followers to watch the horse, drink away the banker, and return to the Thatched Cottage with Sun Qian to rest.

The next day, Guo Chang and his wife went out to worship in front of the hall. They thanked and said, "The dog insulted the tiger's power, and felt the general's mercy." Guan Gong ordered them to say, "I will teach him in the right words. Less than thirty miles away, I saw more than a hundred people standing behind the mountain, riding two horses in the first place: the man in front, wrapped in a yellow scarf and wearing a war robe; Behind him is the son of Guo Chang. The Yellow Scarf Man said, "I am the general Zhang Jiao of the Heavenly Lord! Come and leave the Red Hare Horse and let you go!" Guan Gong laughed and said, "Ignorant and crazy thief! Do you know the names of Liu, Guan and Zhang brothers from Zhang Jiao?" The Yellow Scarf Man said, "I only heard that the man with red face and long beard is named Guan Yunchang, but I didn't know his face. Who are you?" The Lord stopped his sword and immediately untied his beard bag, If the long beard is used, it should be regarded. The man rolled his saddle and dismounted. His head grabbed Guo Chang's son and offered him to the horse. Guan Gong asked his name. He said, "My surname is Pei and my name is Yuan Shao. Since Zhang Jiao died, he has always been unowned. He has gathered in the mountains and has the right to hide here. This servant came this morning to report that there was a guest who rode a thousand li horse and stayed at my house. He specially invited someone to rob the horse. Unexpectedly, he met the general." The son of Guo Chang bowed down and begged for his life. Guan Gong said, "In your father's face, let me spare your life!" Guo Zi ran away with his head in his arms.

Yuan Shao, the official, said, "You don't know my face, how can you know my name?" Yuan Shao said, "There is a Crouching Cow Mountain twenty miles away. There is a man from the west on the mountain. His surname is Zhou, and his name is Cang. His arms are powerful, and his ribs are thick and his beard are very strong. He used to be a general under the Yellow Scarf Zhang Bao. Zhang Bao died and roared together in the mountain forest. He often said that he was famous with some generals, and he wished he had no way to meet them." Guan Gong said, "It's not a place for heroes to support themselves in the green forest. You can all go back to justice in the future. Don't get caught up in it." Yuan Shao thanked him.

While talking, I saw a young man coming from afar. Yuan Shao said, "This must be Zhou Cang." Guan Gong immediately treated him. If you see a man with a black face and a long body, you can take a horse with a gun and attract people to come; When he saw Guan Gong, he was surprised and said, "The general of this pass!" He quickly dismounted, fell down and said, "Zhou Cang will pay a visit." Guan Gong said, "Where did a brave man ever know that Guan came, But he said, "If you follow me, how will your servant accompany you?" Cang said, "If you are willing to follow me, you will follow me; if you are unwilling to follow me, you can listen to me." So everyone said, "I will follow you." Guan Gong got off the horse and asked the second sister-in-law.

Mrs. Gan said, "My uncle left Xudu and traveled alone on the road to here. He has experienced many difficulties and never wanted to be accompanied by a military. Liao Hua wanted to agree with me before, but my uncle didn't want to. Now why should I stand alone with Zhou Cang's people? My daughters have a simple view, and my uncle has to consider it." The public said, "My sister-in-law is right. Please go back to the mountain. When I find my brother, I will come to recruit him. " Zhou Cang immediately told him, "Cang is a reckless man. He lost his life and became a thief. If you meet a general today and see the sun again, you can't bear to miss him again! If it is inconvenient for everyone to follow you, you can make him go with Pei Yuanshao. Cang walks alone and follows the general, although he will not quit!" Guan Gong told the second sister-in-law again with this statement. Mrs. Gan said, "One or two people follow each other. It's no harm." The public ordered Zhou Cang to send someone to accompany Pei Yuanshao. Yuan Shao said, "I would also like to follow General Guan." Zhou Cang said, "If you go, everyone will be scattered; and when you are in power, you will be the commander. I will follow General Guan, but I will come to pick you up if I have a place to stay." Yuan Shao was reluctant to leave.

Zhou Cang followed Guan Gong to the south of Ru. After several days of traveling, I saw a mountain city in the distance. The duke asked the natives, "Where is this place?" The natives said, "This is an ancient city. A few months ago, there was a general named Zhang and Fei, who led ten cavalries here to drive the county officials away, occupy the ancient city, recruit troops to buy horses, and accumulate grass and grain. Today, there are three or five thousand people and horses, and no one dares to fight in the distance." The duke of Guan said, "My brother has been separated from Xuzhou, and he has never known his whereabouts. Who would have thought that he was here!" But Sun Qian was ordered to go to the city first to report, and the teacher came to meet the second sister-in-law.
