Chapter 028-02 삼형제의 재회

至黃昏時候,忽見一少年,引數人入莊,逕上草堂。郭常喚曰:「吾兒來拜將軍。」因謂關公曰:「此愚男也。」關公問何來。常曰:「射獵方回。」少年見過關公,即下堂去了。常流涕言曰:「老夫耕讀傳家,止生此子,不務本業,惟以游獵為事。是家門不幸也!」關公曰:「方今亂世,若武藝精熟,亦可以取功名,何云不幸?」常曰:「他若肯習武藝,便是有志之人;今專務游蕩,無所不為,老夫所以憂耳!」

關公亦為歎息。至更深,郭常辭出。關公與孫乾方欲就寢,忽聞後院馬嘶人叫。關公急喚從人,卻都不應,乃與孫乾提劍往視之。只見郭常之子倒在地上叫喚,從人正與莊客廝打。公問其故。從人曰:「此人來盜赤兔馬,被馬踢倒。我等聞叫喚之聲,起來巡看,莊客們反來廝鬧。」公怒曰:「鼠賊焉敢盜吾馬!」

恰待發作,郭常奔至告曰:「不肖子為此歹事,罪合萬死!奈老妻最憐愛此子,乞將軍仁慈寬恕!」關公曰:「此子果然不肖,適纔老翁所言,真知子莫若父也。我看翁面,且姑恕之。」遂分付從人看好了馬,喝散莊客,與孫乾回草堂歇息。次日,郭常夫婦出拜於堂前,謝曰:「犬子冒瀆虎威,深感將軍恩恕。」關公令將喚出,我以正言教之。常曰:「他於四更時分,又引數個無賴之徒,不知何處去了。」
 
關公謝別郭常,奉二嫂上車,出了莊院,與孫乾並馬,護著車仗,取山路而行。不及三十里,只見山背後擁出百餘人,為首兩騎馬。前面那人,頭裹黃巾,身穿戰袍;後面乃郭常之子也。黃巾者曰:「我乃天公將軍張角部將也!來者快留下赤兔馬,放你過去!」關公大笑曰:「無知狂賊!汝既從張角為盜,亦知劉,關,張兄弟三人名字否?」黃巾者曰:「我只聞赤面長髯者名關雲長,卻未識其面。汝何人也?」

公乃停刀立馬,解開鬚囊,出長髯令視之。其人滾鞍下馬,腦揪郭常之子拜獻於馬前。關公問其姓名。告曰:「某姓裴,名元紹。自張角死後,一向無主,嘯聚山林,權於此處藏伏。今早這廝來報:有一客人,騎一匹千里馬,在我家投宿。特邀某來劫奪此馬。不想卻遇將軍。」郭常之子拜伏乞命。關公曰:「吾看汝父之面,饒你性命!」

郭子抱頭鼠竄而去。公謂元紹曰:「汝不識吾面,何以知吾名?」元紹曰:「離此二十里有一臥牛山。山上有一關西人,姓周,名倉,兩臂有千斤之力。面孔虯髯,形容甚偉。原在黃巾張寶部下為將,張寶死,嘯聚山林。他多曾與某說將軍盛名,恨無門路相見。」關公曰:「綠林中非豪傑托足之處。公等今後可各去邪歸正,勿自陷其身。」元紹拜謝。

32 As the day closed in, they saw several youths come along, and their host said, "My son is come to pay his respects."

33 "This is my humble son," said Guo Chang, presenting a lad to Guan Yu.

34 "What has he been doing?" asked Guan Yu.

35 "He has just come in from hunting."

36 The young fellow went out. The old man continued, "All my family have been farmers or scholars. He is my only son, and instead of following in the footsteps of his ancestors he cares for nothing but gadding about and hunting, unhappily."

37 "Why unhappily?" said Guan Yu. "In these days of disorder a good soldier can make a name for himself."

38 "If he would only learn the military arts, that would be something of a career. But he is nothing but a vagabond and does everything he should not. He is a grief to me."

39 Guan Yu sighed in sympathy. The old gentleman stayed till a late hour; and when he took his leave, his two guests began to prepare for rest.

40 Suddenly outside there arose a great hubbub, men shouting and horses neighing. Guan Yu called to his people; but as no one answered, he and Sun Qian drew their swords and went into the stable yard. There they found their host's son on the ground shouting to his followers to fight.

41 Guan Yu asked what it was all about, and his guards told him, "The young fellow had tried to steal Red Hare, but had been badly kicked. We heard shouting and went to see what it meant when his men had set on us."

42 Guan Yu was very wrathful.

43 "You mean thieves! Would you steal my horse?" cried he.

44 But before he could do anything, his host came running out, saying, "It was not with my consent that my son did this evil thing. I know he is very guilty and deserves death. But his mother loves him tenderly, and I pray you be generous and pardon him!"

45 "Really he is unworthy of his father," said Guan Yu. "What you told me shows he is a degenerate. For your sake I pardon him."

46 Then Guan Yu told his own people to keep a better lookout, sent the people about their business and, in company with Sun Qian, went away to rest.

47 Next morning both the host and hostess were up betimes waiting to thank Guan Yu for forgiving their son's mad freak.

48 "My son has insulted your tiger dignity, I know, and I am deeply affected by your kindness in not punishing him," said the old man.

49 "Bring him here and I will talk to him," said Guan Yu.

50 "He went out before daylight with a lot of his fellow rogues, and I know not where he is."

51 So Guan Yu bade them farewell, got the ladies into their carriage, and they moved out of the farmyard. Guan Yu and Sun Qian riding abreast as escort. They took the road toward the hills.

52 Before they had gone far, they saw a large party of men, led by a couple of riders, pouring down one of the gullies. One of the riders wore a yellow turban and a battle robe. The other was Guo Chang's son.

53 The wearer of the turban called out, saying, "I am one of the commanders of Zhang Jue the Lord of Heaven. Whoever you may be, leave that horse you are riding for me. You may then go free!"

54 Guan Yu greeted the speech with a hearty laugh.

55 "O you mad ignoramus! If you had ever been with Zhang Jue as a bandit, you would have learned to know Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, the three brothers."

56 "I have heard of the ruddy long beard called Guan Yu, but I have never seen him. Who may you be?"

57 Guan Yu then laid aside his sword, stopped his horse, and drew off the bag that covered his beard thus showing its magnificence.

58 The turban wearer immediately slipped out of the saddle, laid an angry hand on his companion, and they both bowed low in front of Guan Yu's steed.

59 "Who are you?" asked Guan Yu.

60 "I am Pei Yuanshao. After the death of Zhang Jue, I was left forlorn; and I got together a few others like myself, and we took refuge in the forests. This morning early this fellow came to tell us that a guest at his father's farm had a valuable horse and proposed to me to steal it. I did not think I should meet you, General."

61 The wretched Guo Chang's son implored that his life might be spared, and Guan Yu pardoned him for his father's sake.

Then Guan Yu covered his face and crept away.
 
62 "You did not recognize me. How then did you know my name?" asked Guan Yu.

63 Pei Yuanshao replied, "Not far from here is a mountain called the Sleeping Bull, where lives a certain Zhou Cang, a very powerful man who came from the west. He has a stiff curly beard and looks very handsome. He also was a commander in the rebel army, who took to the forest when his leader perished. He has told me a lot about you, but I have never had the happiness of seeing you."

64 Said Guan Yu, "Under the green wood trees is no place for a hero's foot. You had better abandon this depraved life and return to the path of virtue. Do not work out your own destruction."
