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

Chapter 59 I am willing to serve under Lord Liu!
Zhang Liao walked to the gate of the county government office on purpose, and he found that the people following him had no intention of leaving.

I thought: Even the county government office can't scare them away, they are here with bad intentions. It seems that I will not be able to escape today. If they are really enemies, I will directly call the officials in the government office. Even if I can't escape, I will use the long sword in my hand to take away a few lives!

Zhang Liao clenched his sword hilt tightly, alerted all around, and shouted: "Come out, everyone! Hiding your head and showing your tail, is this the behavior of a gentleman?"

as predicted.

Three burly figures walked out from the end of the alley.

The leader was a big red-faced man who walked like a dragon or a tiger and had an extraordinary appearance.

If I meet him at another time and somewhere else, I will definitely go up and start a conversation.

The other two were both big and strong.

Although they were dressed simply, the calluses on the palms of the red-faced man and the young man were definitely caused by using weapons.

Zhang Liao frowned. Is there such a person among his enemies?
The young man among the three said, "I was in Zhuo County, known as the Heshao County Lieutenant, and I was specifically looking for famous people for my third brother. I didn't expect that someone would find me today. This person is really extraordinary."

Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard this person's words. Zhuo County? Zhuo County, Youzhou? Judging from his accent, he really sounded like a horse dealer from Youzhou.

Maybe these people are not my enemies?

Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief and even held the hilt of the sword less tightly than before.

Although he did not let down his guard, his brows relaxed a little. He bowed to the three people and said, "I see that you are extraordinary. I think you are not ordinary people, but heroes. I have offended you with my words just now. I hope you can forgive me. Besides, I am just a county official. Did you heroes find the wrong person?"

The red-faced man stopped the young man who wanted to speak. He stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "Thank you for your compliment. Are you Zhang Liao Zhang Wenyuan?"

Not asking for last name?

Zhang Liao decided to take another look. He nodded, "Yes, his surname is Zhang, his name is Liao, and his courtesy name is Wenyuan."

The red-faced man immediately shook Zhang Liao's hand.

Zhang Liao was stunned. The sudden enthusiasm was a little too much for him to bear. He looked up and saw appreciation, admiration, and gratitude in the other person's eyes?

?

Zhang Liao was completely confused. What was going on?

The red-faced man said enthusiastically, "I see that you are very skilled. Why do you live in such a small county town? Do you have the ambition to serve your country?"

The young man reminded: "This is Guan Yu, the commander under the command of the governor of Jincheng!"

"What?!!"

Zhang Liao looked at Guan Yu in astonishment. The commander came to look for a minor official like him? You know, the commander was in charge of the military affairs of a county, and even the county magistrate didn't dare to breathe heavily in front of the commander.

"Captain Guan, Marquis Jun, we are afraid of disturbing others if we stand at the gate of the county government office. Why don't we go to a teahouse and chat?" Xu Huang said.

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Liao, "Wenyuan, what do you think?"

"Ah? Asking me?" Zhang Liao had not yet recovered from his shock. "Okay, okay."

Zhang Liao was dragged into a teahouse by Guan Yu and his party.

Inside the tea shop.

"What? Commander Guan? Are you serious?" Zhang Liao's hands couldn't help but tremble. "Are you really going to recruit me as Gong Cao???"

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and nodded, "Wenyuan, are you frightened by a Gongcao?"

Guan Yu thought to himself: If I tell my eldest brother about his ambition, won’t he be frightened to death?
"No, Captain Guan, I was just too surprised for a moment." Zhang Liao said.

After all, Gongcao is not a small official. The subordinates of Duwei are similar to Taishou. Gongcao is in charge of all government affairs, big and small, in the army except personnel matters.

It was like a quick rise to fame, from a county clerk to a county official.

Guan Yu asked again: "But what are your concerns?"

Zhang Liao said frankly, "My ancestors once provoked enemies. I am only afraid of causing trouble for Guan Duwei."

trouble?

Guan Yu was thoughtful. According to the book he read from Director Zhen, there should be no record of Zhang Wenyuan having any enemies.
wrong.

Guan Yu shook his head and said that he could not believe the book. Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying were both prefects of Hedong, and the content in the book was different from the current situation.

Be careful and ask clearly, otherwise if you drag down your big brother, you will be finished.

"Wenyuan, who are the enemies you are talking about?" Guan Yu asked.

Zhang Liao sighed, dipped his index finger in water, and wrote the four words "Ma Yi's Plan" on the table. The guard sitting next to him scratched his head and muttered, "What does it mean?"

Guan Yu and Xu Huang looked at each other and laughed, "I thought it was nothing. Don't worry, Wenyuan, it's just some barbarians and some nobles. Besides, a hundred years have passed. How many people will remember this?"

Zhang Liao sighed, "I'm afraid that the superiors of Guan Duwei will find out who we are and become resentful."

"Dissension?" The guard said, "Brother Wenyuan, I have never heard of this word. There are many people like me under Lord Liu."

"what?"

Zhang Liao raised his eyebrows; the words of the young man in front of him were really beyond his expectations.

"and many more--"

Zhang Liao realized that he had just missed a place name.

He overlooked a key piece of information.

Jincheng County.
He asked quickly, "May I ask, who is the Lord Liu that the military marquis mentioned?"

"The Governor of Jincheng, Liu Bei Liu Xuande." the guard said proudly.

After hearing the name, Zhang Liao fell silent.

Xu Huang asked curiously, "Wenyuan, have you also heard of Lord Liu's fame? Has Lord Liu's name spread throughout Bingzhou?"

"Of course I have heard of it."

Zhang Liao thought for a moment and said, "I have heard merchants talk about Liu Fujun. They all praised Liu Fujun as a hero. He was a commoner, but he was promoted to the governor of a county by virtue of his military achievements. This is really admirable."

Zhang Liao's words came from the bottom of his heart. He was a descendant of Nie Yi, and since Nie Yi was a businessman, he had no aversion to businessmen.

Although he was proud of having this ancestor, the Battle of Mayi ended in failure after all, and many people blamed Nie Yi for the failure.

Whether it was the local powerful people, some court officials, or even the Hu people outside the Great Wall, they were more or less dissatisfied with the Nie family, and even complained about them, and some even had the intention to kill them.

Some hatreds fade over time, while others grow deeper.

So by his generation, the family's power had declined to the point where it could no longer be declined.

To enable him to learn to read and write and become a minor official had already drained the last bit of strength from the family.

Zhang Liao was working as a county official. Day after day, he was worrying about trivial matters. One day, he suddenly heard some merchants from afar talking about a man.

The man lost his father at a young age and was raised by his mother. He even fell into weaving mats and selling shoes for a living.

Hearing this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but feel the same way. They were all people who had been looked down upon by others.

Then the merchant said that Liu Bei was sponsored by his uncle to study in Lu Zhi
Zhang Liao was surprised to hear this and asked, "Mr. Lu is a high-ranking official. How can someone who can be his disciple be bad?"

A businessman from Youzhou explained: "Mr. Lu was not an official at that time, but a disciple of a great scholar. His hometown is Zhuo County, and he returned to his hometown to open a school. If Mr. Zhang can pay, Mr. Zhang can also become Mr. Lu's disciple!"

Zhang Liao understood instantly that the degree of binding of this kind of disciple is very low. Unless you are famous, who will still remember that there is a disciple like you?

Later, when he heard that Liu Bei had become the prefect of Jincheng, he was even more surprised. How could such a powerless and penniless person achieve such a thing? How could this not arouse astonishment and admiration?
You have to know that he was just a minor official after all, and Liu Bei was a commoner before he rose to power!
If such a person is not a hero, then who else in the world is a hero?

Now this kind of hero is a close confidant.
But are they really just confidants?
Zhang Liao remembered the rumor and immediately asked, "Captain Guan, there is something I don't understand."

"Oh? Wenyuan, you can go ahead and talk." Guan Yu said.

"I wonder what your relationship is with Lord Liu?"

Guan Yu said proudly: "Lord Liu and I, Commander Zhang, swear before the immortals to be brothers of different surnames, sharing life and death, and adversity together! Lord Liu is a kind person, so Yide and I regard him as our brother!"

"I see."

Zhang Liao closed his eyes. He could understand that as a county governor, Liu Fujun was very busy with official duties and it was normal for him to be unable to spare the time.

But he specifically asked his brothers to look for him.

Doesn't this show sincerity?

Zhang Liao opened his eyes and had made up his mind.

He stood up and bowed to Guan Yu.

"I wish to serve under Lord Liu!"
