When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 20 Arrival in Jizhou

On the ancient road covered with desolate grass.

Riding on a white horse, Liu Bei led the knights recruited from Zhuo County and set off towards their destination.

According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that he read, he first followed Zou Jing and later took the route of joining Zhu Jun. However, the book said that his mentor Lu Zhi did not bribe the eunuch Zuo Feng and was thus hated by the villain. After returning to the palace, Zuo Feng slandered Lu Zhi in the emperor's ear, saying black when white, and accusing Lu Zhi, who had the advantage, of refusing to attack the city.

The emperor was furious after hearing this and issued an edict to remove Lu Zhi from all his posts. He was then taken back to Luoyang in a prison cart and detained in jail.

As a student, how could I bear to watch my teacher go to jail?
Not to mention that Liu Bei was a sentimental person, so he contacted Gongsun Zan specifically. In addition to helping to open up the market for pickles, another important point was to use Gongsun Zan to contact his mentor Lu Zhi.

After all, fighting the Yellow Turbans there is not the same as fighting the Yellow Turbans.

Until Liu Bei set foot on the road to Jizhou, the closer he got, the more shocking piles of bones he saw, and there was no one living within hundreds of miles.

He felt as if his heart was being hit by a hammer.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I thought of what Zhen De had said. It was the Han Dynasty that had let down the people today. The Yellow Turban Rebellion was only the beginning. When it was pacified, it would be the time for all the heroes to rise up. By then, the warlords would attack each other, the people would suffer, and there would be wailing everywhere, not to mention the invasion of foreign races.
Only when you see it with your own eyes can you experience the overwhelming pressure.

No.

Liu Bei opened his eyes and an absurd idea came to his mind. He wanted to meet Zhang Jue and see what kind of person Zhang Jue was.

Zhang Fei, who was riding on a black horse, sighed: "It is so true. Bones are exposed in the wild, no roosters crow for a thousand miles, only one out of a hundred people survives, and the thought of it breaks people's hearts."

"."Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei speechlessly.

Jian Yong, who was riding on a donkey, looked at Zhang Fei with a face full of surprise, "Are you really the Ah San I know??? How come you can write Yuefu poems? Didn't you copy them from somewhere? Wait, didn't you say you didn't want to learn from the gentry?"

Liu Bei quietly watched the performance of Jian Yong and Zhang Fei. Jian Yong called Zhang Fei "Asan" purely in retaliation for Zhang Fei's sarcastic call of him "Jian Fourth Brother".

"Fourth Brother Jian, Fourth Brother Jian, no wonder you are the fourth brother. What I say is as good as my words! I definitely did not copy from some scholar!" Zhang Fei's face was full of magnanimity.

Guan Yu, riding a red horse, came to Jian Yong and directly pointed out Zhang Fei, "Xianhe, Third Brother is right. He really didn't copy the poems of scholars. He heard them from Zhen Dao Zhen Shenxian!"

"So that's how it is. I was wondering how Yide could write Yuefu poetry with his level. He is indeed an immortal. From this poem, I can hear his deep love for the people and his lament for the suffering of the people in this world." Jian Yong pointed at Zhang Fei's nose and scolded him with a smile, "Zhang Sanlang, you are so naughty!"

"What can you do to me?" Zhang Fei laughed.

When Liu Bei heard this, he pursed his lips. He specifically asked Zhen De about this poem, and Zhen De generously stated that it was the work of Cao Cao.

This Cao Cao is his greatest enemy in this life.

As for the background of this poem, it happened after Cao Cao massacred Xuzhou.

There was devastation and the dead were everywhere, with no human habitation for thousands of miles.

Who caused all this? Don't you, Cao Mengde, have any part in it?
After doing all these things, it is not easy to pretend to be concerned about the people. It's really pitiful.

Damn it, it's not easy for you to kill people and massacre the city, right? Force the people to be freed?
A feeling of suffocation rose in my chest.

His face turned embarrassed and he walked on the desolate road in silence.

Zhang Fei and Jian Yong, who were playing around, didn't notice that something was wrong with Liu Bei. Liu Bei was also silent. Guan Yu winked and shouted, "Third brother, Xianhe, hurry up."

"Okay, second brother." Zhang Fei replied. He just happened to see Liu Bei's strange expression. After knowing each other for many years, he instantly determined that it was definitely not him and Jian Yong who made Liu Bei unhappy. There must be something big that was bothering his eldest brother. So Zhang Fei slowly approached Liu Bei and whispered, "Brother, are you worried about something?"

"Yide. I was wondering why Cao Mengde, who was born into a wealthy family, treated the common people like grass? Why did he not regard the lives of the common people as money? You see, the common people will also wail, the common people will also be angry, and the common people will always be the ones who suffer."

"Brother, I now know the true colors of those people. They talk about courtesy and virtue all the time, but they still look down on you. They look down on you from the bottom of their hearts. I think Cao Mengde is probably the same kind of person." Zhang Fei comforted Liu Bei.
"Brother, let me speak frankly. No matter who is on the other side, Cao Mengde, Li Mengde, or Wang Mengde, hasn't this happened yet? With the help of the immortals, we can just crush these guys and there will be no tragedy, right?"

Liu Bei forced a smile and said, "Yide is right. I am really being too stubborn. Let's speed up and get going."

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong responded, "Yes!"

"Wait, wait, is that Liu Xuande from Zhuo County, Mr. Liu?"

A strange voice called out from the front.

Enemy attack?

Without any need for orders, the Youzhou warriors, who had been training for a long time, immediately formed a battle formation, raised their weapons, and prepared for battle.

Until they saw clearly that the people coming were a caravan.

Liu Bei shouted: "Stop!"

The Youzhou warriors quickly put away their weapons and moved in unison as if they were one person.

The merchants were secretly amazed. He was indeed the legendary Lord Liu. Even the soldiers were trained so well. He must be a strong army!
"Who are you?" Liu Bei looked at this group of people. There were less than a hundred people in this group, and he did not find any powerful crossbows. Even if they were enemies, it would be a fantasy for him to want to eat them without armor!

"Mr. Liu, we are just a group of traveling merchants."

A man stood up and said with a smile: "The county town ahead has been conquered by General Lu Zhonglang. We are temporarily stationed here. We have stored some food and weapons and would like to give them to you. I hope you will not refuse."

Liu Bei was not surprised. Along the way he met many merchants who came to help them. When he asked, he found out that they were commissioned by Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping.

But to be on the safe side, he decided to ask what was going on.

"So who is your main family?"

The man slowly spoke, "Xuzhou, Donghai County, Qu County, Mi Zhu."

Lu Zhi was lying on the recliner, with an expression of joy that he could not hide on his face. The continuous attacks on the Yellow Turbans during this period of time had really worn out his old waist.

Fortunately, there is this reclining chair to lean on.

Zong Yuan, the General of the Wuhuan Guard who served as Lu Zhi's deputy, was extremely jealous, but he couldn't say anything. After all, this was the filial piety of Lu Zhi's disciple.

Who told him to do that? There is no such disciple among the clan members.

"General Lu, I'm going out to get some fresh air." The clan member said to Lu Zhi while clasping his fists.

As soon as he stepped out of the tent, the messenger rushed in, shouting
"Report, there is someone outside claiming to be Liu Bei Liu Xuande, and wants to see General Lu!"
