第二十八回:斬蔡陽兄弟釋疑,會古城主臣聚義

Putting Cai Yang To Death, The Brothers' Doubts Disappear;
Meeting At Gucheng, Lord and Lieges Fortify Each Other.

卻說關公同孫乾保二嫂向汝南進發,不想夏侯惇領二百餘騎,從後追來。孫乾保車仗前行。關公回身勒馬按刀問曰:「汝來趕我,有失丞相大度。」夏侯惇曰:「丞相無明文傳報,汝於路殺人,又斬吾部將,無禮太甚!我特來擒你,獻與丞相發落!」

言訖,便拍馬挺鎗欲鬥。只見後面一騎飛來,大叫「不可與雲長交戰!」關公按轡不動。來使於懷中取出公文,謂夏侯惇曰:「丞相敬愛關將軍忠義,恐於路關隘攔截,故遣某持齎公文,遍行諸處。」惇曰:「關某於路,殺把關將士,丞相知否?」來使曰:「此卻未知。」惇曰:「我只活捉他去見丞相,待丞相自放他。」關公怒曰:「吾豈懼汝耶!」拍馬持刀,直取夏侯惇。

惇挺鎗來迎。兩馬相交,戰不十合,忽又一騎飛至,大叫「二將軍少歇!」惇停鎗問來使曰:「丞相叫擒關某乎?」使者曰:「非也。丞相恐守關諸將阻擋關將軍,故又差某馳公文來放行。」惇曰:「丞相知其於路殺人否?」使者曰:「未知。」惇曰:「既未知其殺人,不可放去。」指揮手下軍士,將關公圍住。關公大怒,舞刀迎戰。
 
兩個正欲交鋒,陣後一人飛馬而來,大叫:「雲長,元讓,休得爭戰!」眾視之,乃張遼也。二人各勒住馬。張遼近前言曰:「奉丞相鈞旨:因聞知雲長斬關殺將,恐於路有阻,特差我傳諭各處關隘,任便放行。」惇曰:「秦琪是蔡陽之甥。他將秦琪託付我處,今被關某所殺,怎肯干休?」遼曰:「我見蔡將軍,自有分解。既丞相大度,教放雲長去,公等不可廢丞相之意。」夏侯惇只得將軍馬約退。遼曰:「雲長今欲何往?」關公曰:「聞兄長又不在袁紹處,吾今將遍天下尋之。」遼曰:「既未知玄德下落,且再回見丞相,若何?」關公笑曰:「安有是理!文遠回見丞相,幸為我謝罪。」說畢,與張遼拱手而別。

於是張遼與夏侯惇領兵自回。關公趕上車仗,與孫乾說知此事。二人並馬而行。行了數日,忽值大雨滂沱,行裝盡濕。遙望山岡邊有一所莊院,關公引著車仗,到彼借宿。莊內一老人出迎。關公具言來意。老人曰:「某姓郭,名常,世居於此。久聞大名,幸得瞻拜。」遂宰羊置酒相待,請二夫人於後堂暫歇。郭常陪關公,孫乾於草堂飲酒。一邊烘焙行李,一邊餵養馬匹。

1 Sun Qian had joined Guan Yu in escorting the two ladies, and they were on the road to Runan when Xiahou Dun suddenly determined to pursue. So with a couple of hundred horse, Xiahou Dun set out. When Xiahou Dun was seen approaching, Guan Yu bade Sun Qian go ahead with the carriage while he remained to deal with the pursuers.

2 When they were near enough, Guan Yu said, "In coming after me thus you do not reinforce the magnanimity of your master!"

3 Replied Xiahou Dun, "The Prime Minister has sent no definite instructions. You have caused the death of several people, among them one of my commanders, and so I have come to capture you! You have behaved most grossly. The Prime Minister will decide."

4 Thereupon Xiahou Dun dashed forward with his spear ready to thrust.

5 But at that moment a rider came up behind him at full gallop, crying, "You must not fight with Guan Yu!"

6 Guan Yu stayed his steed at once and waited.

7 The messenger came up, drew from his bosom an official letter, and said to Xiahou Dun, "The Prime Minister loves General Guan Yu for his loyalty and honor, and fearing lest Guan Yu might be stopped at the various passes, he sent me with this letter to show when necessary at any point on the road."

8 "But this Guan Yu has slain several commanders of the passes. Does the Prime Minister know that?" said Xiahou Dun.

9 The messenger said these things were unknown.

10 "Then," said Xiahou Dun, "I will arrest him and take him to the Prime Minister, who may set him free or not as he wills."

11 "Do you think I fear anything you can do?" said Guan Yu getting wrathful.

12 And he rode forward. Xiahou Dun, nothing loth, set his spear and prepared for battle.

 They met and had reached the tenth encounter when a second horseman came up at full speed, crying, "Generals, wait a little!"

13 Xiahou Dun stayed his hand and asked the messenger, saying, "Am I to arrest him?"

14 "No," replied the messenger. "Fearing lest he should have difficulties at the passes, the Prime Minister has sent me with a dispatch to say he is to be released."

15 "Did the Prime Minister know that he had slain several commanders on the way?"

16 "He did not know!"

17 "Since he was ignorant of that, I may not let this Guan Yu go," and Xiahou Dun gave the signal to his men to close in round Guan Yu.

18 But Guan Yu flourished his sword and made to attack them and a fight was again imminent, when a third rider appeared, who cried, "Guan Yu, give way and do not fight!"

19 The speaker was Zhang Liao. Both combatants made no further move but awaited his arrival.

20 Zhang Liao said, "I bring the Prime Minister's order that since he has heard that Guan Yu has slain certain commanders on the way, he fears that some will hinder his passage. Wherefore he has sent me to deliver his command at each gate that Guan Yu is to be suffered to pass freely."

21 Xiahou Dun said, "Qin Qi was the son of Cai Yang's sister, and he was confided to my especial care. Now this Guan Yu has killed him, and how can I refrain?"

22 "When I see his uncle Cai Yang, I will explain. But now the main point is that you have the Prime Minister's orders to let Guan Yu pass and you may not despise his wish."

23 So the only thing for Xiahou Dun to do was to retire, and he did.

24 "Whither are you going?" then said Zhang Liao to Guan Yu.

25 "I fear my brother is no longer with Yuan Shao, and now I am going to find him wherever he is."

26 "As you do not know where to go, why not return to the Prime Minister?"

27 "Where is the sense of that?" said Guan Yu with a smile. "But, Zhang Liao, you return, and try to arrange pardon for my faults."

28 With this Guan Yu saluted Zhang Liao and took his leave. Zhang Liao retired and joined Xiahou Dun.

29 Guan Yu quickly regained the carriage, and as they went along side by side he told Sun Qian what had happened. Several days later a heavy rain storm came on which soaked everything. Looking about for protection they noticed a farm under the shelter of a precipice and took their way thither. An old man came out to them, to whom they told their story.

30 When they had finished, the old fellow said, "My name is Guo Chang, and I have lived here many years. I am very pleased to greet the man whom I have known so long by reputation."

31 Guo Chang quickly killed a sheep for their refreshment and brought out wine for the two men. The two ladies were entertained in the inner apartments. And while they refreshed themselves, their baggage was put out to dry and their steeds were fed.
