Chapter 241 Sudden news of Zhang Liao(1/2)
"Xiao Bian, you can play by yourself. My brother is going to teach others. Don't run too far." Li Mengxi told his brother.
The younger brother watched people feeding the animals and refused to leave, so Li Mengxi let him go.
Every day, we set up camp early in the morning for about half or an hour, just to teach the village heroes how to calligraphy.
The progress has reached the point of simple addition and subtraction.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was dark again.
Li Mengxi looked at the pig again. The pig was motionless. He thought it was dead. He poked the pig with a stick and the pig grunted.
Fortunately, this precious experimental subject did not die.
There was nothing to do at night, so Li Mengxi went to bed directly.
Not long after he fell asleep, he heard the sound of footsteps. When he opened his eyes, he saw a light from the corner of his eye. Li Mengxi sat up straight and sat up.
Sure enough, besides Guan Yu and Liu Bei, who else would come to look for him at night.
"Xi'er, have you ever slept?" Guan Yu came over and asked.
"I haven't slept yet, is there something wrong?" Li Mengxi asked while looking for clothes.
"I killed a rabbit and roasted it. I came to call you." Guan Yu held a torch in his hand and tilted it slightly to shine a light on Li Mengxi.
Li Mengxi finished dressing in a few moments and helped his brother tuck in the quilt before leaving.
After thinking for a while, Li Mengxi picked up the helmet he had put on during the day and took it away.
Beside the campfire, Liu Bei was adding new firewood.
Li Mengxi greeted him from a distance, "Mr. Xuande, what do you think of the iron armor I made?"
As Li Mengxi walked, he raised the helmet in his hand and shook it as if to show off.
In the word armor, Jia refers to armor, and Xie refers to a helmet.
Before Li Mengxi came near, he hurriedly greeted Liu Bei.
Similarly, before Liu Bei picked up the iron armor, he looked extremely surprised, "Ah! How fast?"
Two people with high emotional intelligence, their communication is flawless. They are so quick, from the day they said they were stepping into Renjia, to now, it took how many days to weave the helmet together.
The autumn night is slightly cold, and the bonfire brings a touch of warmth.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Li Mengxi sat around the bonfire.
Liu Bei looked at the tightly and elegantly woven iron jacket, turning it over and over for a long time, clicking his tongue while looking at it.
Although the iron armor is small, it is very thick and heavy to carry.
For metal items such as weapons and armor, generally the heavier the weight, the better the quality.
After Liu Bei read it, he changed his hands to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu's hands were very big, and when he held the iron armor in Guan Yu's hands, it looked like he was holding a small rubber ball.
He tossed the iron armor lightly in his hand, "This armor looks familiar," Guan Yu said, "It looks like the official and military iron armor.
More than ten years ago, I sent a friend to join the army, and when I met the army commander, he was wearing this kind of iron armor, which is very similar." Guan Yu touched the armor plates arranged as neatly as fish scales with his hands, nodded and said.
Huh? Guan Yu said, good friend...
"General Guan, you actually have friends?" Li Mengxi said it without thinking.
After Li Mengxi said this, Guan Yu immediately rolled his eyes at him.
As the saying goes in later generations, Qin Hui still had three friends. What kind of rotten person did he have to have not even one friend?
The meaning of Li Mengxi's words is very much like questioning whether Guan Yu has any friends, and furthermore, it seems like he is questioning Guan Yu's character.
Therefore, can Guan Yu give Li Mengxi a good look?
Fortunately, Guan Yu was magnanimous and did not care about Li Mengxi. He talked to himself, with memories in his eyes, "I was sixteen that year. If my father hadn't still been at home, I would have joined the army with Wen Yuan. I don't want to see the near future in a blink of an eye.
Ten years have passed."
Time flies, Guan Yu can't help but sigh.
"Wenyuan?!" Li Mengxi sat up straight and raised his voice in surprise.
Guan Yu was surprised and glanced at Li Mengxi.
"A certain friend, Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan. How come, Xi'er knows him?"
"I don't know! I don't know!" Li Mengxi kept saying he didn't know him.
Although Li Mengxi looked calm on the surface, he was actually shocked inside.
Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan had actually known each other for a long time and had a close relationship with Guan Yu.
Among the five good generals of Wei, Zhang Liao was the one with the strongest record.
In the original history of the Three Kingdoms, its formation defeated Wuhuan; the Battle of Hefei shocked Jiangdong.
During the battle of Xiaoyaojin, Zhang Liao was later called the God of War in Xiaoyaojin. The Soochow people killed in the battle were frightened. Mentioning Zhang Liao's name can stop children from crying.
Guan Yu mentioned that his former friends regretted not being able to join the army, and Guan Yu sighed.
In front of Liu Bei, Guan Yu sighed like this, which is equivalent to arriving at a new company and still thinking about the old company.
Guan Yu is now the commander-in-chief of Liu Bei's first army. He still regrets that he could not join the army. It is equivalent to joining a new company and saying that if the previous company had not collapsed, I would not come.
If someone is narrow-minded, likes to think too much, and is more wary, such as Cao Cao. If Guan Yu is a general under Cao Cao, maybe Cao Cao will be suspicious of Guan Yu and alienate him.
After all, Liu Xuande was not Cao Cao, and Guan Yu was his adopted brother, not just a general.
Not only did Liu Bei not have any grudges, he actually comforted Guan Yu with words, saying that he was unable to join the army at a young age and make contributions and wasted his life for a long time. It was a great pity. But fortunately, you and I are meeting each other now, and we are also facing the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The place where heroes come into play, the regrets of the past can now be settled.
After saying this, Guan Yu smiled broadly.
After unexpectedly hearing the news about Zhang Liao, Li Mengxi felt as if a cat was scratching his head, and his spirit of gossip burned brightly.
"General Guan, is Zhang Liao a fellow countryman of yours? Which one of you two is better? Does he use a knife? Yours is the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, what kind of knife is his?" Li Mengxi asked a series of questions at once like a machine gun.
Guan Yu and Liu Bei turned their heads in unison and looked at Li Mengxi in surprise.
"Wen Yuan is not from my hometown. I am Xie Liang, Hedong, and Wen Yuan is from Mayi, Yanmen, but we are not far apart." Guan Yu looked up and looked at the stars in the sky, as if reminiscing.
"The two of us often compare our martial arts and discuss the art of war. Meng Xi, ask, who is better in martial arts, Wen Yuan or I?" Guan Yu shook his head, brushed his beard and said seriously, "Wen Yuan is far superior to me in martial arts and military arts.
"
Li Mengxi was stunned, "Huh?"
How is it possible? Between Guan Yu and Zhang Liao, there is still discussion about who is superior in leading the army and who is inferior. Zhang Liao's most glorious moment was at Xiaoyaojin, Guan Yu was flooding the Seventh Army, one was powerful in Soochow, and the other was powerful in China.
Everyone is a general.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But when it comes to martial arts, how could Zhang Liao be better than Guan Yun Chang?
Li Mengxi scratched his head and looked at Guan Yu with great suspicion, "The general didn't coax me? The bravery of a general is rare in the world. How can there be someone who is braver than a general? Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan...he, he...how is it possible?"
Li Mengxi kept chasing after him and wanted to find out what happened.
No matter what Li Mengxi asked, Guan Yu just insisted that Zhang Liao was far better than him.
Li Mengxi just didn't believe it, he just felt that Guan Yu was coaxing him to play.
Although Li Mengxi doesn't know martial arts, he understands the Three Kingdoms.
When asked again, Guan Yu still gave the same answer. Li Mengxi scratched his hair in confusion and stopped asking.
On the side, Liu Bei watched and laughed secretly.
"Is Zhang Liao really so brave? General, didn't you trick me?" Li Mengxi finally asked.
"Seriously!" Guan Yu said seriously, "Have I ever deceived you?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Mengxi's thoughts, Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei, and the two looked at each other.
"Hahahaha..." The two of them laughed loudly at the same time, as if they had a clear understanding of each other.
The two of them were laughing so inexplicably that Li Mengxi was confused. In order to avoid embarrassment, he had no choice but to laugh along with them.
In fact, Li Mengxi asked Guan Yu who was stronger between him and Zhang Liao. No matter how good Zhang Liao was in martial arts, Guan Yu would definitely say that Zhang Liao was stronger.
Even if Guan Yu's friend is Hua Xiong, and Li Mengxi asks Guan Yu who is more powerful between him and Hua Xiong, Guan Yu will definitely say that Hua Xiong's bravery is far better than his own.
This is not hypocrisy, but human sophistication and cultivation.
People in modern society don't say bad things about people to their faces, but they like to say bad things about them behind their backs.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, scholars all held themselves to Confucian moral standards.
Although Zhang Liao was thousands of miles away, Guan Yu would never say anything bad about Zhang Liao behind his back. Not only did he not say anything bad, he also said as many good things as possible.
Guan Yu was so proud that he said that Zhang Liao's courage was far superior to his own. Isn't this a very good thing? What is it?
This is cultivation.
As for human nature, Confucianism regards humility as a virtue and arrogance as a vice.
