Seeing that Guan Yu did not blame him, Mei Zhu felt slightly relieved.
However, his guilt did not diminish at all. He was also the first person to follow Liu Bei.
He was Liu Bei's brother-in-law. He had never expected Mi Fang to betray him. The disappointment and anger in his heart could be imagined.
Everyone went forward to greet each other.
The other party's gaze paused on him for a moment before he nodded with a faint smile.
It was hard to tell if it was encouragement or other intentions.
Liu Fengcai felt that Zhuge Liang was powerful. He could not see through any of Zhuge Liang's emotions.
Chengdu was a capital city with a barbican. It was divided into two cities, one inside and one outside.
The commoners lined the streets to welcome him. Most of them were here to see Guan Yu, even though he had lost Jingzhou.
However, the common people blamed the betrayal of Dongwu, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren, but it did not affect his image of loyalty.
Liu Bei looked at all of this and nodded with a smile. He then said to Zhuge Liang,
"Military Advisor has governed the people well. Now that the army and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, I can rest assured!”
Zhuge Liang smiled and said,
"I am just doing my part. I still have to thank my lord for his benevolence and the officials in this city for their diligence.”
Liu Bei also knew that Zhuge Liang was encouraging the others, so he nodded to them and asked,"
"Has there been any movement from Dongwu and Cao Cao recently?”
Zhuge Liang lightly waved his feather fan and chuckled,
"My lord has come from afar and seized Hanzhong.
Let's welcome the lord first and talk about the military tomorrow. How about it?”
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had known each other for many years. From his expression, one could tell that he had already made arrangements.
Moreover, there were some things that needed to be discussed first, so he did not ask any more questions.
Soon, they arrived at the residence and waited for the banquet to begin.
While they were waiting, Liu Bei asked Jian Yong to introduce Guan Yu to the officials who had come to Shu.
Liu Feng did not recognize most of them and listened carefully from the side.
Among these people, he only knew Yang Yi, Xu Jing, Yi Ji, Jiang Wan, Qin Mi, Huang Quan, and the others.
Other than them, there were also the brothers Ma Liang and Ma Su. The others were unfamiliar.
At this time, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren, and the other famous generals of Shu had already passed away, and the remaining descendants were not particularly outstanding.
He thought about how Guan Yu's generation had grown old, and how Liu Bei's talents had dwindled.
Zhuge Liang was alone, and he had to do everything himself.
It was indeed difficult to sustain for a long time. Cultivating talents was an urgent matter.
Just as he was wondering why Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were not around, he heard Liu Bei ask,"
"Why don't I see Zilong and Hansheng?”
Zhuge Liang replied,
"The Jing Prefecture has been lost, and the Yi Prefecture defensive line needs to be rearranged.
Zilong had been transferred to Yong 'an, and Hansheng was heading to Jiangzhou to prevent Dongwu from making any moves again!”
Liu Bei nodded."
"With the two of them here, I can rest assured!”
When Liu Feng heard that Zhao Yun had gone to Yong 'an, it seemed that he would not be able to see her for a while. He could not help but feel a little regretful.
Not long after, the banquet was ready. Under Zhuge Liang's leadership, the welcoming banquet began in the night.
At the banquet, it was nothing more than singing praises and reminiscing about the past.
Liu Bei was promoted to King of Hanzhong, but these officials in Chengdu did not participate.
Everyone took this opportunity to pay their respects.
Everyone wisely avoided the topic. Guan Yu and Liu Feng's side naturally became a little quieter.
After the banquet was over, Liu Bei ordered people to arrange a place for Liu Feng to stay. Then, he went to the mansion alone with Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to discuss the matter.
This was the highest level of discussion in Shu Han. Although Liu Feng had saved Guan Yu, he was not qualified to participate.
When they arrived at the residence, everyone sat down in the study. Liu Bei asked,"
"I wonder if you have any countermeasures for the loss of Jingzhou?”
Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, then stood up and pointed at the map on the wall."
"Although our army has lost the Jing state, it might not be a bad thing.”
"Ah?"
Zhang Fei widened his eyes and asked,"
"How can it be a good thing to lose such a big place?”
Zhuge Liang smiled and said,
"Jingzhou is a battleground.
Cao Ren's 100,000 strong army was left to guard Xiangyang, eyeing Jingnan.
With Zhou Yu as the leader, all the generals of Wu believed that Jingzhou was borrowed from Wu and wanted to get it back.”
He looked at Guan Yu and said,
"Back then, Liang suggested that the Second General guard the Jing State. Firstly, the General has always had prestige in the Cao army.
It also has a deterrent effect on the generals in the east. This is the best way to preserve Jingzhou.”
Liu Bei nodded slightly.
Guan Yu drowned the seven armies and shocked China, but it was indeed ineffective.
Dongwu did not dare to covet it, and Sun Quan even sent people to Jingzhou to ask for a marriage alliance.
Zhuge Liang saw the guilt on Guan Yu's face and said,"
"It's just that after Wei Zijing died, Lu Meng was a person who was good at using strange tactics and taking risks.
In addition, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren betrayed the court, which led to the loss of Jingzhou. This is not the fault of Yun Chang alone!”
Guan Yu sighed softly,"
"I was too conceited. If I had agreed to Yinping and Sun Deng's marriage, I wouldn't have made such a big mistake.”
Zhang Fei said angrily,
"Second brother, you don't have to blame yourself. How can the son of that green-eyed child be worthy of my niece?”
Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently. There was no need to pursue the past.
He had long understood the personalities of these two people, and Guan Yu's change made him feel even more gratified.
He was no longer as sharp and arrogant as before. Being calm and reserved was the most important condition a commander should have.
He could already tell that Guan Yu had changed.
It was like fire refining gold, and it could be considered to be completely out of the furnace. Back then, he had designed and honed it in all sorts of ways.
There was even an arrangement by Huarong Sect to let Cao Cao go, but it was to no avail.
This time, he suddenly realized that in the long run, it was still the luck of Shu Han.
Thinking of this, he sighed,"
"Previously, I observed the celestial phenomena and saw a strange light appear in Shangyong.
They thought that something big would happen, but they did not expect it to be a sudden rise in public welfare.”
