A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 362: After many years of wasting time, I finally met my soulmate

Youzhou, Zhuojun, Zhuoxian
At the gate of the city, a piece of cloth edict was posted on the side, with two sergeants guarding it. There was an endless stream of people passing by, many of whom stopped here to listen to an old gentleman reading the message on it.

"Today, there are yellow turban thieves who are causing cholera in the world. Their force is so great and their attack is so urgent that the imperial court cannot stop the attack. Therefore, the governors and governors of all states and prefectures are ordered to recruit local warriors to defend the city and resist the yellow turban thieves.

Those who have made great achievements during this period can be rewarded by the court and promoted to officials as an exception. The salty messenger heard it.

In addition, the Yellow Turbans' offensive is getting heavier and they have reached the border of Zhuo County. Now the governor of Zhuo County has issued the following edict: Recruit the rebels from all over Zhuo County, assemble the army at the school captain Zou Jing, accept his orders, and put down the Yellow Turbans. If you get military merit, The Prefect's Mansion also offered a heavy reward. "

Everyone watching was talking a lot.

"Is there any way for us to survive in this world?"

“That’s right, today’s taxes are high and God is not kind to us. There are so many changes that we can’t even save our own fields. In one month, we are hungry for half a month.

Now the Yellow Turban thief is here again. Damn it, God, can't you open your eyes and look at us poor common people? Give us a way to survive. "

Hearing that there was another Yellow Turban rebellion, one of the farmers, who was suffering from hunger, couldn't help crying.

On the periphery of the crowd, a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat and carrying two loads of straw shoes and straw mats on his shoulders saw this situation and thought that he was nearly thirty years old but had still accomplished nothing, and he couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"Huh, a man doesn't want to win for the country and quell the rebellion. Instead, he just sighs and sighs. Isn't it too cowardly?"

Liu Bei turned around and saw a man who was strong and brave, with a fair face and a broad face. The fabric on his body was a little delicate but had many oil stains. He seemed to look down on his actions and pointed out with a slight contempt.

Liu Bei shook his head. He didn't want to tell others about his depression, nor did he want to argue with others and get into unnecessary trouble, so he carried his burden and left.

Since Liu Bei decided to come to Zhuoxian from his hometown to seek opportunities, he has been staying in Zhuoxian for several years. During these years, he has been looking for ways to become an official or have opportunities to make contributions, but he has repeatedly encountered obstacles.

On the contrary, I heard that my senior brother Gongsun Zan had gained a great reputation in Liaoxi County. Because he had repeatedly defeated the invasions of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, and he also liked white horses, he replaced all his attendants and cavalry with white horses. The white horse is called "White Horse General" by the foreigners.

It is similar to how the Huns called General Zhenbei's ancestor "White Wolf General" Bai Yu, and the cavalry who followed him were called "white horse righteous followers".

Liu Bei has decided that if he can't find a way out in Zhuoxian again, he will go to Gongsun Zan. At least you can mix it with a meal.

Back at the market, Liu Bei was taking a nap behind his stall with a straw hat covering his face and his eyes closed.

Suddenly there was a chaos in the market. Liu Bei was awakened. After thinking for a while, he got up and went to watch. He saw two big men fighting in the open space. One of them was the strong man who had despised him in the morning.

The other one may have exerted some force, causing his face to turn red. He seems to be about the same age as Liu Bei, but the beard under his lips is very long, and he looks very well maintained.

After asking the stall owner who saw the whole process passing by, Liu Bei learned the whole story.

It turns out that the red-faced man is here to sell prey. This butcher shop also sells prey. After the butcher shop buys the prey, he takes out the meat and sells it at the stall. The furs and claws wait until the White caravan arrives. Package it and sell it to them together.

And this butcher shop belongs to that white-faced man. The red-faced man took the prey to the butcher shop clerk for inspection, but the clerk said that the prey was inferior, so the man argued with him. Finally, the clerk made sarcastic remarks, and the man became furious and overturned the stall.

The white-faced man came over after hearing the news and started fighting with him, but neither of them could do anything to the other.

Liu Bei saw that the two of them were amazing in martial arts, and they were probably much better than himself. If we can get along with them and participate in the battle to quell the Yellow Turbans together, wouldn't it be possible to expect great things and achieve great ambitions?

Moreover, since Liu Bei came to Zhuoxian, because he was alone, he could save as much as possible on expenses. Most of the money he earned was used to make friends with heroes. When the tribesmen from his hometown came, they also helped him as much as they could, giving Liu Bei a wide range of people. Gain a reputation as a hero.

Now that two men with strong martial arts skills are in front of me late at night, how can I not feel happy?
After waiting for a while, the two of them were almost exhausted. Liu Bei suddenly rushed out from the side and separated the two of them with brute force.

Both Zhang Fei and Guan Yu knew very well that they were very powerful. Now that they were forcibly separated, they seemed to be brave men, so they gave Liu Bei face and stood aside.

Liu Bei hugged the two of them and said: "You two are both brave men, why do you need to fight over this matter? I asked the people next to me about the whole story. It was the men of this strong man who wanted to take advantage of it. Corrupt, and make sarcastic remarks.

This caused the strong man to angrily open the stall. If you don't believe it, you can ask yourself. "

After hearing this, Zhang Fei looked at Guan Yu, and saw that Guan Yu had an arrogant face, as if Liu Bei's words were true. His face darkened, he looked at his waiter, and asked loudly: "Is he right or not? "

The waiter has always known that his young master hates evil, so it would be better if he admits it directly, but if he denies it and is discovered later, his hands and feet may be broken at the least, or he may be paralyzed on the bed. The guy was sweating profusely and gritting his teeth, he could only nod his head in agreement.

Zhang Fei's face became darker and darker. In anger, he kicked the man away, but fortunately he was measured. He only broke a few ribs and injured some internal organs. It will be fine in a month or two: " Go back to your hometown to receive your punishment."

As if he had been granted amnesty, the man kowtowed and then crawled away while vomiting blood.

At this time, Zhang Fei came to Guan Yu and said: "It happened that a certain family was fighting with the strong man indiscriminately without asking the reason. This certain family is here to apologize to the strong man and ask the strong man to forgive me."

After saying that, he knelt down on one knee in front of Guan Yu with a face of shame, clasped his hands and buried his head.

Guan Yu saw that Zhang Fei was sensible, but was a bit reckless, and was not a powerful person who deceived good and feared evil, so he helped him up with a magnanimous look and said:
"You know the righteousness so well, how can a certain family act like a villain and not forgive others? Please get up. As long as the matter is clear, it will be fine."

Liu Bei stepped forward with a happy face, grabbed the hands of the two of them and said: "Haha, one person can distinguish right from wrong and destroy relatives for justice; the other person has a broad mind and convinces others with reason. Isn't it fate?
It is also said that when warriors in ancient times interacted with each other, they had to exchange a few moves to show respect. This is because without fighting, there is no acquaintance. Isn't this a great thing to talk about? "

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were very happy after hearing what Liu Bei said. This was exactly what they felt. They were rough people and couldn't express themselves. It seemed that this man was the same as them.

Zhang Fei burst out laughing suddenly and said to the crowd of onlookers: "What this warrior said is true. A certain family has never known each other before fighting with this warrior. Today I met two warriors. I can't express my joy in my heart."

A certain family is the owner of this butcher shop, and one of their clerks has done something harmful to the Zhang family. The certain family has to express their feelings. Since this meat has been overturned by this strong man, if necessary, feel free to take the meat from the ground, and then treat it as an apology to all the fellow villagers. "

At this time, Guan Yu, who was next to him, also said: "A certain family's prey has also been damaged and cannot be sold for much money. In this case, it is also for everyone's enjoyment. Let's take it together!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei looked at Guan Yu with shining eyes, as if he had found something he liked, and praised him: "This strong man is bright!"

While everyone was snatching the meat, Liu Bei came to the two of them and said with a smile: "We are destined to meet each other. If we don't fight, we don't know each other. I see that these two warriors have the style of ancient warriors. Why don't we go together? Let's meet in a secluded place to avoid regrets in the future."

Zhang Fei had long wanted to make friends with Guan Yu, but after what happened just now, he was a little embarrassed to speak out. Now Liu Bei's suggestion just followed his heart.

Without waiting for Guan Yu to respond, he immediately said: "What the strong man said is true. I have a wine shop in my house with several jars of fine wine. It is a fate that I have been practicing for ten generations to meet you two today. If you are willing, please come with me. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a few drinks?”

Guan Yu and Liu Bei looked at each other, quite moved, and then said: "Please!"

So the three of them held hands and headed towards Zhang's Restaurant together. Liu Bei didn't even want his own straw sandal stall.

The three of them were in the wine shop, constantly pushing cups and cups, and introducing each other while drinking.

Liu Bei did not mention it, but Zhang Fei was a local. His family cooperated with the Baiguo Trading Company and was engaged in business such as selling meat and wine shops, so he was quite wealthy.

Zhang Fei had been brave since he was young. Although he didn't like reading, he treated scholars with great respect and disliked those who bullied good people. Anyone he encountered would be beaten. Therefore Zhang Fei is a famous hero in Zhuo County.

Guan Yu was a native of Jie County, Hedong. His original name was Guan Changsheng. In his early years, he worked as an escort in the Baiguo Escort Agency in Hedong. He had quite the style of an ancient Moxia.
He was wanted by the government because he helped a poor family and killed a powerful son. Fortunately, he was secretly covered by the escort agency and managed to escape. He traveled all the way to Zhuo County to avoid trouble and make a living by hunting all day long.

"Oh, I made the mistake of blaming Brother Xuande. I saw you sighing in front of the official document earlier, so I thought you were a coward. Unexpectedly, I also had a desire to serve the country in my heart, so I punished myself with a drink."

When Zhang Fei heard that Liu Bei was in front of the official document, he lamented that he was nearly thirty years old, but still did nothing and had no way to serve the country. I just feel like I wronged a good person.

"Brother Xuande is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He also learned the art of war and strategy from General Lu Zhizhong. He also has the heart to serve the country with fists and fists. There is great chaos today and the Yellow Turban thieves are raging. They are about to arrive in Zhuoxian County. Why don't you organize the village warriors? The rebel army, as a clan member, defected to Youzhou Governor Liu Yan. Do you want to do something big?"

Guan Yu drank wine quietly and talked about this method.

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said: "I also want to do this, but unfortunately there is nothing I can do about it. My family is poor, and now I still make a living by making straw sandals and mats with others. Where can I get the money to train the rebel army?"

"boom!"

I saw Zhang Fei placing the wine jar heavily on the tables and laughing:
"What's so difficult about this? Zhang Fei doesn't have much else but a lot of money. If the Xuande brothers really want to start an army to suppress thieves, I can spend all my wealth to put down the thieves with Brother Xuande and restore peace to my hometown folks. .”

Guan Yu stared at Liu Bei's actions, wanting to see his reaction.
