Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 28
Liu Bei was already 28 years old when Liu Yan released the announcement to recruit the army, but he said that Liu Bei was walking on the street as usual, and saw many people walking in the same direction, and he couldn't stop talking. Talking about joining the army and about the Yellow Turban Army.

"You don't know, the Yellow Turban Army is coming soon. Where can we little people go? Now that the prefect has issued a conscription letter, why should I wait for a seven-foot man?"

"Yingzheng, those Yellow Turban soldiers are also ordinary people. When we go to enlist, we are ordinary people beating ordinary people. The real old men still eat hot food and drink hot food. It doesn't matter whether we win or lose, we ordinary people will suffer!"

"So what, this is a good opportunity to make contributions!"

"I want to go to you. I'm going home to pack up my belongings. I'm going to flee with my wife and children as soon as possible."

All kinds of discussions were endless along the way, and Liu Bei also hurried to the front of the list, shaking his head and sighing while reading, but at this moment he heard a man with a loud voice behind him yelling sharply: "A man was born in Between heaven and earth, if you don't want to serve the country, but sigh here and there, don't you live up to your husband's name?"

Liu Bei was slightly startled, and heard that the voice of this man was not like an ordinary person, so he turned around and looked back, and looked up and down carefully, but saw that this man was more than eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes around him, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, and his voice was like thunder. The momentum is like a galloping horse, with a great momentum, it is indeed not the image of ordinary people.

When Liu Bei saw this man, he folded his hands and asked his name. The visitor also looked at Liu Bei, and after a while he said in a loud voice: "My surname is Zhang Mingfei, and my name is Yide. I have lived in this Zhuo County for generations. , I have some small farms and manors in my family, and I sell wine and slaughter pigs on weekdays, and I can make friends with heroes in the world in my spare time. So I saw you sighing while looking at the list just now, so I have this question."

Liu Bei sighed slightly again, and then said: "I was originally a Han family member. My surname is Liu, and my first name is Bei. I was the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. However, my family has been in decline since my generation. Now I heard that the Yellow Turban Army is in trouble. Although I have the ambition to eradicate thieves and protect the people and the world, but my own strength is weak, and I am nearly thirty years old, but I can't do anything, so I sigh."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei not only burst out laughing, he stretched out his thick arm to grab Liu Bei's shoulder, and said, "What should I do? I don't know that I still have some money and family property in Yide's family. I will spend some of it when I go back." What do you think of the family wealth, to recruit the brave men of the country, and to raise troops with you in the future to eliminate the thieves and bring peace to the people?"

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard the words: "If Xiongtai has an idea, it will be a great thing!"

So Zhang Fei took Liu Bei to a restaurant in a nearby village to drink and talk freely. Zhang Fei's personality was extremely bold, although his appearance was rough, but in fact he was rough and subtle. He and Liu Bei drank while discussing world affairs.

"This time the Yellow Turban Army's thieves are very powerful. I heard that they have swept through more than ten states and counties in a short period of time. It is no wonder that the imperial court is eager to issue a list, but this is indeed a good opportunity for us to make contributions!" Liu Bei said.

"Thieves are nothing to worry about. Although I Fei is just a pig-killer, I have some ideas of leading troops to fight. I just wait for a good opportunity to show it."

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were in the drinking room, but saw a big man passing by, who pushed a cart and put it down at the door of the shop, so he went in and sat down, then called the waiter out of the shop and asked, "Is there any wine and meat? Eat Let me go into the city and join the army."

Liu Bei sees that this person is also extraordinary, his body length is less than nine feet away, his face is like a heavy jujube, there is a beautiful beard more than two feet long hanging to his chest, his lips are like grease, red phoenix eyes, and lying silkworm eyebrows, he is really handsome and majestic .

So Liu Bei also stepped forward to invite this person to sit with him, and then asked his name.

Dahan Dao said: "My surname is Guan, my name is Yu, and my name is Changsheng. Later, I changed it to Yunchang. I am from Hedong Jieliang. Earlier, I just couldn't stand it because of the powerful bullying in this place, so I killed him and fled. It has been more than five or six years since Jianghu. Now I heard that this place is recruiting troops to destroy thieves, so I came here to apply."

After Liu Bei heard about it, he said: "Brother, at first glance, he is a brave man. Today, when you are in rebellion, don't men think about the way to eradicate the chaos and serve the country? The three of us should have the same ambition now, why don't we become friends?" Brothers with different surnames, vow to protect the people and protect the country in the future, and create a great cause together!"

Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were also magnificent, not like ordinary people, and after listening to Liu Bei's words, he lamented that he had been alone in the world for many years, but he had not had a comrade for a long time, so he was also very happy, so he agreed.

After drinking heavily, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu went to Zhang Fei's village together, and they conspired to fight for righteousness and raise troops.

Zhang Fei pointed to the backyard of his house and said: "There is a peach garden behind my village. It is the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and there is a bit of artistic conception. Why don't we worship the world in this peach garden tomorrow? Becoming brothers with different surnames, we will have the same blessings and share the same difficulties in the future, and if we work together, we will surely accomplish great things!"

After hearing this, Liu Bei and Guan Yu said in unison: "It's so good!"

At noon the next day, the three of them gathered in the peach garden. The peach blossoms were flying all over the place.

"Today, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, although they have different surnames, should become brothers. In the future, they will work together as one, rescue the poor, report to the country, and go down to care for the common people. I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I hope to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day .With the emperor above, and the thick soil as a guide, if you have a negative heart and betray righteousness when you see profit, you will be shamed by heaven and man, and you will be bombarded by five thunders!"

After the oath, the three of them worshiped Liu Bei as the eldest brother, Guan Yu as the second brother, and Zhang Fei as the third brother according to their respective ages.

After sacrificing the heavens and the earth, they slaughtered the cattle and set up wine, and recruited brave men from nearby villages in Zhang Fei's court. In a few days, more than [-] people came to join him, and they all drank and got drunk in the Taoyuan.

Waiting for the preparation of armaments in the coming day, but worrying about the lack of horses to ride, it was a coincidence that two guests came to the door at that time, and they did not come empty-handed. come up.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard the words: "It's like God helping me!"

So the three of them went out of the village to meet each other, but they saw that the two guests who came were actually a big businessman from Zhongshan, one named Zhang Shiping and the other named Su Shuang. They usually go to the north to sell horses at this time of year, but recently because of the chaos caused by the Yellow Turban Army. , had to come back again.

Liu Bei invited the two of them to the village, set up wine and entertainment, and told them that they planned to recruit soldiers to seek peace from the thieves. A thousand catties of iron and iron were donated to Liu Bei and others to help them raise their troops.
