Guan Yu’s company has met Sun Qian, one of Liu Bei’s men who managed to flee north from Xiao Pei. Guan Yu and Liu Bei’s wife then, rest in a farmer’s house discussion a strategy to save Liu Bei. Yuan Shao might kill Liu Bei if Guan Yu did not turn up.

The next day morning Guan Yu and Liu Bei’s wife continued their journey to He Bei. On their way passing by a street, they were blocked by a group of robbers. Fortunately, the leader of the robbers “Zhou Cang” managed to recognize Guan Yu’s character, a rider with a long beard. He quickly knee down and explained, he was once a Yellow Turban’s general. After the rebellion ended, he became a thief.

He heard that Guan Yu has crossed the river and arrived in this He Bei region. He was actually waiting Guan Yu past by this street. They are willing to serve Liu Bei and ask for Guan Yu’s permission to join them. After a discussion between Guan Yu and Liu Bei’s wife, Guan Yu finally agreed Zhou Cang to follow them, while the rest of the people wait there in the mean time.

After several days journey away from the capital, Guan Yu and company have marched about 1,000 miles to see Liu Bei. Now Ji Zhou is just in front of them. Once they went in to Ji Zhou, Guan Yu heard that there was a drunk warrior who passed by. He beat the bandit leader and occupied his base in Ji Zhou. And the bandits now become his men. Nobody dares to capture him, even the officers. Apparently, Guan Yu learnt from an old man that this drunk warrior was Zhang Fei.

Immediately, Guan Yu asked Sun Qian to go and meet Zhang Fei so that he can come and meet them. When Zhang Fei heard that Guan Yu was on his way to the city, Zhang Fei quickly rode his horse to meet Guan Yu. Guan Yu was very happy when he met Zhang Fei. However, Zhang Fei was very angry and put up a fight with Guan Yu because Zhang Fei thought that Guan Yu was Cao Cao’s minion.

No matter how Guan Yu explained to Zhang Fei, he just ignored it and continued fighting with Guan Yu. Meanwhile, Cao Cao troops (General Chai Yang) were coming towards Ji Zhou. In order to solve the misunderstanding between Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, Guan Yu immediately rode his horse and killed Chai Yang on the spot, in front of Zhang Fei.

This is to prove that Guan Yu is not at Cao Cao’s side. That was the first reunion between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei two brothers.

Everyone turns out to be still very loyal to Liu Bei. The next morning, Guan Yu and Sun Qian continued their journey to find Liu Bei in Ji Zhou. Zhou Cang returned to Mount Wo Niu to gather up his men as reinforcement. While Zhang Fei stay the city to protect Liu Bei’s wife. When they reached Yuan Shao’s resident place, where Liu Bei stay, there were a small kid suddenly turned up to and offered to help Guan Yu and Sun Qian to break into Yuan Shao’s residence door, so that Sun Qian managed to pass message to Liu Bei that Guan Yu is waiting him at the forest not far from here. After Sun Qian past the message to Liu Bei, he asked Chen Zhen (the one who delivered letter to Guan Yu) to guide Sun Qian escape from the back door.

The next day morning, Liu Bei went and met Yuan Shao. He told Yuan Shao that Cao Cao’s is recruiting a huge number of soldiers to invade He Bei. Thus, he suggested to ally with the governor of Jing Zhou, Liu Biao that will certainly gave him a competitive advantage. Liu Bei knew that Yuan Shao previously has sent his messenger once, but failed to convince Liu Biao. Now, he took this opportunity to offer Yuan Shao that he is willing to meet Liu Biao and convince him. Because, Liu Biao was one of his distant relatives. And Liu Bei is certainly able to persuade Liu Biao.

Without knowing that was actually Liu Bei’s tricked, Yuan Shao let Liu Bei left his resident area. And finally, Liu Bei out from cage again and he managed to meet Guan Yu. Both of them were so happy that they reunited again.

On their way back to reunite with Zhang Fei, they met Zhou Cang. Zhou Cang looks very tired and told Liu Bei that there was a young man riding a horse came and raided his headquarter in Mount Wo Niu. When they followed Zhou Cang to the Mountain, they realized that man Zhou Cang mentioned was actually Zhao Yun (Liu Bei’s good friend). Again, it was good news that Zhao Yun joined Liu Bei’s force. At the same time, in order to reward Guan Ping for his service and bravery against the enemies, Guan Yu awarded him to become his stepson.

Liu Bei finally reunited with his loyal warriors in that mountain top. On one side, there’s the ambitious Prime Minister, Cao Cao. On the other side is Yuan Shao in He Bei. Moreover, there’s the ruler of the rapidly growing East Wu, Sun Quan. The battles between them will determine the delicate balance of these powers.
