Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 114 Liu Bian’s first meeting with Gongsun Zan

Naturally, when entering Guanzi City, Liu Bian and his party also spent a little effort.

As soon as they entered the city, Liu Bian and his party received grand attention, and all eyes fell on him from all directions... Liu Bian could only sigh: The residents of Guanzicheng have good living conditions, and their vigilance is good enough. , Otherwise, how can you have the energy to supervise people? Is this because you are full?
The next moment, Liu Bian felt that he was thinking too much.because……

Looking around, the facilities in Guanzi City are dilapidated and crooked. They can be described as piles of ruins. Especially the closer to the city gate, the damage is particularly severe.

The most eye-catching thing was: he saw military tents one after another in the distance, and there were no residents of the city at all... Most of the people he could meet were wounded soldiers wrapped in gauze.

Then, several wounded soldiers were making soup. What was put in the soup was not vegetables, animal meat, or bark, but pieces of wood... If you look closely, you can see some traces of crossbows or shields. , but is this possible?
Who knows how to cook crossbows and shields? ——How to eat it?

Liu Bian was embarrassed and had to guess: what the other party should be cooking was tree stems or something like that?

In short, Liu Bian looked around for a while and discovered to his surprise: this small city is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is also an important road to curb the westward movement of the Yi people. It has been built into a defensive fortress.

No matter what, after taking a few glances at Guanzi City, Liu Bian's first reaction was: Hurry up and donate the luggage you're carrying to Gongsun Zan and his army!Let the other party take good care of their body and have a hearty meal... The crisis in Youzhou should have been resolved, right? !

Glancing at the baggage carried by the guards, Liu Bian's eyes sparkled, thinking about how to wait for Gongsun Zan, and donate supplies to Gongsun Zan to express his position.But……

However, before he could see Gongsun Zan, he was surrounded by a group of ferocious-looking wounded soldiers.

There were about dozens of wounded soldiers, standing in a row, blocking Liu Bian and his party, and shouted fiercely:

"You little baby, why did you come to this Guanzi City? Don't you know that Guanzi City was a mess before? Now, the outside of the city has finally settled down, and I will definitely not tolerate you, an outsider, joining in!

Do you have any conspiracy?Hand over your valuables, I want to check them! "

This sentence alone directly exposed the intentions of the wounded soldiers.

Are the wounded soldiers trying to rob someone?
"Who?!" He Xian, He Bai, He Mu and other guards who were good at fighting took a step forward, stood in front of Liu Bian, and stared at the wounded soldiers with cold expressions.

"Bold!!" Tian Feng took a step forward and asked bluntly, "Who are you, how dare you pretend to be Gongsun Zan's soldiers!

Are you the bad guys? ! "

Tian Feng was so alert that he directly regarded the wounded soldiers on the opposite side as hooligans.

"Your Highness!" Cao Ang, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and other guards called softly and looked at Liu Bian worriedly.

More guards tacitly placed the baggage beside Liu Bian, holding weapons in unison, standing in a circle to protect Liu Bian and the baggage, and hostile to all the wounded soldiers present.

Seeing this, Cao Ang, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and other guards also held their weapons and put on a fighting posture.

The two sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere became increasingly acrimonious.

Perhaps there was too much movement on this side, so many wounded soldiers rushed in, and they also participated in it, wanting to share a share of the pie.

Just when the two sides almost got into a fight, a male voice shouted flatly:
"What are you doing?!"

The sound was loud, making everyone look for it.

Then they saw a young military general riding his horse and leading the crowd to come, blocking the retreat of Liu Bian and his party.

After seeing this, the group of wounded soldiers were overjoyed and shouted one after another: "General! General, these people are angry and their actions are too suspicious! We are about to capture them!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Tian Feng's face darkened, and he shouted righteously, "It was you who wanted to do evil things in the first place! Instead, you have wronged us!"

"You..." The group of wounded soldiers were at a loss for words. They couldn't think of a rebuttal for a moment, so they could only look at the young general, as if hoping that the young general could make up his mind.

Squinting his eyes, Liu Bian calmly looked at the young general in front of him, and he had already guessed the identity of the other person - the distance was too far before, Liu Bian could not clearly see Gongsun Zan's appearance, but this did not prevent him from seeing Gongsun Zan's appearance clearly. His armor, helmet, and heroic temperament, as well as the attitude of the wounded soldiers towards him, can confirm one or two!

Wanting to get to know the other party, Liu Bian cleared his throat and said loudly:

"May I ask if the general is Gongsun Zan?!"

The young general was taken aback for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "You know me?
——Yes, this general is none other than Gongsun Zan! "

Gongsun Zan, the young general, proudly admitted.

At that time, Liu Bian was a short young man, standing among the guards, and couldn't find anyone for a while, but he still tried his best to bow his hands in the direction of the young general, and said loudly:

"I am the King of Bohai and also serve as the Governor of Bohai. I have met General Gongsun Zan!

This king heard that the general was besieged Guanzi City, so he came to support... Now, congratulations to the general for lifting the siege!

I have heard the general's name for a long time, and I admire him deeply. I have something to say to the general. I wonder if the general can invite me? "

Liu Bian's eyes were bright and he acted very proactively.

This made Gongsun Zan frown.

Gongsun Zan finally took the time to look at the young man in front of him who claimed to be King of Bohai and Governor of Bohai?But seeing that the young man looked delicate and delicate, not at all mighty, and it was obvious that he didn't even reach the top, he couldn't help but say:
"Are you...really the governor of Bohai?!

I don't believe that there is no one as young as you who can serve as a prefect? ! "

Blinking, Liu Bian said, "General, do you know who this king is?"

"who are you?"

"I, the King Mingbian, am the eldest son of His Majesty the Father!"

"Prince Bian? So you are Prince Bian?...Nice to meet you, nice to meet you?"

Gongsun Zan's response all showed that this person did not care about the affairs of the court at all, and did not even understand who the prince was... This person was probably keen on fighting on the battlefield and guarding the borders, rather than in the palace and intrigues.

This made Liu Bian feel a little moved: Wow!Very good!Finally, someone questioned his age... It is said that he is almost 13 years old. He should stay in Luoyang City and be the noble eldest son of the emperor, instead of being promoted at a young age, being appointed as a prefect, and being sent to a remote place. place--

Uh~ Even though it was him who took the initiative to mention that he didn't run away at first.

Just when he and Gongsun Zan finally struck up a conversation, he suddenly heard another familiar voice:
"General! So you are here?

Your Highness, why did you come to the city?You asked me to wait and find——

You guys, hurry up and inform General Xuande, General Yun Chang, General Yide and General Zhang Yan that His Highness has entered the city! ...Go quickly, go quickly!

General He Miao, look at His Highness——"

Without changing his expression, Liu Bian stood up on his tiptoes, stretched his neck, and looked over to Gongsun Zan with difficulty, but when he saw another voice, it was indeed Zhao Yun.

At this moment, Zhao Yun was giving orders to four soldiers, and the four soldiers followed the order and left quickly... Before Zhao Yun finished speaking, Liu Bian suddenly saw someone forcing his way in, squeezed in front of him, and raised his voice:

"Your Highness!!"

Liu Bian took a closer look. If the person in front of him was not He Miao, who could he be?

"What...what's going on?" Liu Bian called softly.

Naturally, Liu Bian could not directly call He Miao "second uncle" in public.

He Miao's eyes were red, and he bowed his hands and said: "Your Highness! It was Miao who was at fault! I have lost His Highness, and I want His Highness to be punished severely! Miao has nothing to say!"

Huh?Huh? ——How did you say this? How dare he punish He Miao?It was obviously his own decision. He felt that Guanzicheng was safe, so he ran into the city without permission, hoping to meet Gongsun Zan quickly... "He Xiapu, get up quickly, get up quickly." He quickly helped He Miao personally, He helped He Miao up and said, "This matter is also my fault. I have not contacted you."

He Miao said empathetically, "What are you talking about, Your Highness! You were on the battlefield just now, and the battlefield is changing rapidly. If you don't pay attention, you will lose your life... Your Highness didn't rush to send someone here because of my waiting."

Liu Bian laughed dryly, unable to say anything else: no matter what he said, He Miao would find a reason and justify it for him!
Moreover, I believe He Miao is not the only one who would do this, probably Liu, Guan, Zhang and others would also say this!

Sure enough, before he could say a few more words to Gongsun Zan, he saw Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Yan and others arriving one after another with their troops.Even though they were separated by a group of guards, Liu Bei and others saluted Liu Bian and said:
"Your Highness! Fortunately you are safe and sound, otherwise..."

"Your Highness! Guan came a step too late and His Highness was frightened!"

"Your Highness! What's going on with those guys? How dare you stare at you... Huh! I, Mr. Zhang, will help you stare back! If it doesn't work, I, Mr. Zhang, will help you beat them away..."

"Your Highness! A certain person has captured two thousand war horses. Please take a look at them!"

Bah bah bah, Liu Bian was surrounded by all the generals, it was so lively.

At the same time, more and more soldiers gathered around, reaching a certain level that was no less than Gongsun Zan's.

At the same time, in order to dispel Gongsun Zan's vigilance - after all, Liu Bian met Gongsun Zan for the first time, and Gongsun Zan had never heard of him before... "Uncle Wang." Liu Bian spoke in a low voice, pointing at Gongsun Zan, "You are not on good terms with me. General Gongsun, would you like to say a few words?"

Liu Bei: "..."

Slowly turning around, Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Zan, a trace of surprise and surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he had just discovered Gongsun Zan, he hesitated and said:
"Are you...are you Bogui? Gongsun Bogui?"

Bogui is the name of Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan looked at Liu Bei steadily and said with a smile: "Xuande, did you just see me?"

Liu Bei clasped his fists and said, "I've seen it a long time ago, but I didn't dare to confirm it."

"Now? Are you sure?" Gongsun Zan asked.

After hearing this, Liu Bei simply squeezed out of the escort, came to Gongsun Zan, raised his head and said, "Is this how you treat your friends?"

Gongsun Zan got off his horse and made a hug gesture.

Liu Bei happily hugged Gongsun Zan and said happily, "Bogui!"

"Xuande!" Gongsun Zan also hugged Liu Bei and patted Liu Bei on the back.

The two put down their hands and stood up again.

Gongsun Zan wiped away his previous sense of alienation and looked Liu Bei up and down. He noticed that Liu Bei's clothing had changed. He asked Liu Bei, "Where have you been now? Aren't you the county captain of Anxi County? Why..."

Liu Bei's ears warmed up, and he sighed: "Don't mention it! Your news was all half a year ago? - In fact, a few months ago, I offended someone, so I stopped being a county lieutenant and wandered for a while. Good luck meeting Your Highness!"

Turning his eyes, Liu Bei turned to Liu Bian, acted as a go-between, and introduced Liu Bian to Gongsun Zan - "Bogui, Bogui, I'm not afraid of your jokes." Liu Bei said in a grateful and nostalgic tone, "I am I planned to return to Jixian and join you, but unexpectedly you were not in Jixian. I walked around again and decided to kill the Yellow Turban bandits, and then I met His Highness.

His Highness is the eldest son of His Majesty the Emperor. Although he is young, he has great ideas. He invited himself to Bohai County, saying that he wanted to benefit the local people.You should have heard that Bohai County was originally a coastal city. Not only was it far away from the capital of Luoyang, it also suffered from natural disasters and banditry, and it had always been depressed!
However, when Your Highness came, everything changed!

If you have the chance, Bogui, you must come to Bohai County to take a look!Bohai County is very good, excellent!Compared with other counties and cities, it is much more prosperous!The people no longer suffer from hunger and cold, and the public security is good. There is no oppression of the people. It can be said that they live and work in peace and contentment! ..."

Bah bah bah, Liu Bei highly praised the governance of Bohai County. He praised Liu Bian without leaving any trace in his words. He praised Liu Bian so much that he wanted to cover his face: I, am I so powerful?

I don't know wow? ——I also feel that there are many places in Bohae County that have not been fully developed?

At least the restaurants, medicine shops, and tailoring shops built with blue bricks haven't been completed yet?

Besides, is the fire bed ready? ——It’s almost winter! ...

Dazed, every time Liu Bei used Bohai County to praise Liu Bian, Liu Bian silently reviewed it, feeling that the speed of the fief's infrastructure construction was too slow.

Not enough!

I hope that this winter, he will build all the equipment that needs to be built!

With his hands clenched into fists, Liu Bian's fighting spirit was high until Gongsun Zan said:

"It seems that Xuande thinks highly of His Highness?"

This brought Liu Bian back to his senses.

Ok?
Your Highness?

--Very good!Gongsun Zan finally remembered his noble status!
Liu Bei's eyes were crooked, and he wanted to praise him again. Not mentioning Gongsun Zan's feelings, Liu Bian's scalp felt numb anyway. He cleared his throat and interjected forcefully:

"Then, why are we just standing here? - Today the armies fought fiercely, defeated Karasuma, and showed off the prestige of our country, shouldn't we celebrate happily?

I have brought enough food for you to eat and drink to your heart's content! "

After saying this, everyone fell silent, as if they couldn't believe it——

Mainly Gongsun Zan!

It's also true: Gongsun Zan and his soldiers haven't had good food or wine for a long time.When I first heard that Liu Bian was going to treat everyone, I was overly surprised and couldn't recover.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness!" Tian Feng's shout was particularly clear in the silence. "The reason why Your Highness came to Guanzicheng is precisely because Your Highness heard that General Gongsun Zan defended Youzhou from being invaded by the Yi tribe. The city lasts half a year!
General Gongsun Zan's loyalty to the Han Dynasty and to His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, is a lesson to be learned!There was also a shortage of food and grass. When His Highness heard the news, he came to this city and specially sent food to everyone. This is reasonable, isn't it? ! "

Tian Feng's words successfully tied Gongsun Zan to Liu Bian's chariot... At least in the eyes of outsiders, this was indeed the case.

Gongsun Zan was thoughtful and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

Gongsun Zan, who had always been straightforward, could not deal with the quibbling Tian Feng. He felt that there was something in Tian Feng's words, but he didn't know how to refute...
