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

Chapter 69 Do you know the value of Zhuo County Sword Master? (4k)
Liu Bei warmly received Zhang Liao and Xu Huang.

He grabbed the arms of Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, his face full of smiles, looking at the two still young people, his mood was just like the expression on his face. If he had not tried his best to restrain himself, he would have laughed so hard that he bent over. One of them defeated Sun Quan badly, and the other cooperated with Cao Ren to stop his second brother in Xiangfan, giving Cao the thief a reassurance.

They are all hard-to-find good generals!

But now they are all under the command of Liu Bei Liu Xuande!
After a series of tests, Liu Bei was overjoyed. There was a certain gap between Zhang Liao and Xu Huang and the five best generals in the novels, but their talents had already emerged and they were not just generals. Xu Huang's many years of experience as a low-level official made him good at clerical work. In addition, he had unique insights into some government affairs and even had a talent for strategy. He was simple and cautious in character.

He is the type of person Liu Bei admires.

As for Zhang Liao
Liu Bei subconsciously pinched the arms of the two men and compared them. Xu Huang had not neglected his exercise and had strong muscles, but they were much inferior to Zhang Liao's.

Compared with Xu Huang, Zhang Liao is just a sword hidden in a scabbard.

In order to avoid disaster, one has to hide his edge.

Caution is etched into his body.
It still affects him today.

Unlike Xu Huang who was cautious about things, Zhang Liao was cautious about people.

Liu Bei was not short-sighted. On the contrary, he felt that his vision was pretty good. During the conversation about family matters just now, he heard the hints in Zhang Liao's words.

However, he did not respond, so Zhang Liao tactfully did not mention it again.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei took a deep breath and said with a smile: "I have heard from the merchants that both of you are capable officials. After seeing you today, I feel that your statement is really biased."

"Biased?"

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang looked at each other, and they vaguely guessed what Liu Bei would say next, but the two men, who had experience as county officials, were tactful enough not to say much, even though Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were very different from the officials they had met before.

Liu Bei revealed the answer, "They are more than capable officials, they are two great talents. Wenyuan and Gongming's words really enlightened me. Now it seems that Gongcao and Zhubu have completely obliterated the talents of Wenyuan and Gongming. Let me think twice."

Liu Bei let go of Zhang Liao and Xu Huang's arms and held his chin high. It was a pity that he was able to become one of the top five generals in a situation like Cao Wei, and he came from a humble background and was skilled in martial arts, but he did not participate in the military affairs.

Liu Bei made a decision quickly.

"Wenyuan, Gongming, how about this? I would like you two to lead a hundred people in your capacity as Gongcao and Zhubu officials."

"what?!"

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang stared at each other, their breathing quickened. Not long ago, they were just minor officials in the county, and being able to become a county official was beyond their imagination. They thought they would be satisfied with being the chief clerk and the official. Who could have expected that after a simple test, Liu Bei not only pulled them aside and said, "The chief clerk and the official must be you two," but also frowned and asked them to lead the troops.
Zhang Fei curled his lips at the two's reactions, "How can a real man be so coy? They are just a hundred men. If you can't even do this, how can you become Zhang Babai? No, how can you be made a marquis!"

"Become a marquis?!"

Zhang Fei's words undoubtedly caused a storm in the hearts of the two men.

To be a marquis is too far away for the two of them.
Xu Huang said quickly, "Captain Zhang, please don't embarrass us. We were just minor officials not long ago."

"Little official, what's wrong?" Zhang Fei said, "My elder brother, my second brother and I were all common people before we rose to power. If we don't even dare to think about it, how can we succeed?"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and agreed: "Yide, what you said is absolutely right."

Xu Huang wanted to say something else.

Zhang Liao, who was not sure about Zhang Fei's character, quickly grabbed Xu Huang and said, "Captain Zhang, you are teaching me a lesson."

"What's your name?" Zhang Fei patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I see your last name is Zhang too. Maybe you were from the same family hundreds of years ago. Call me Third Brother!"

"what???"

Zhang Liao had a strange look on his face. He really wanted to say, “No, Captain Zhang, my real surname is Nie.”

But when he looked up, he saw Zhang Fei's dark face, with an admiring expression on his face, and this person was his superior no matter what he said. His status in Liu Fujun's army was even more extraordinary, so he spoke reluctantly and called out, "Brother San San."

"Eh!!!"

Zhang Fei's mouth was grinning from ear to ear. He was filled with joy and thought to himself: If I ever meet that guy Sun Quan in the future, I will call Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan my brothers!
After laughing, Zhang Fei turned around and faced Liu Bei again, but his expression changed so quickly that Liu Bei felt something was wrong.

as predicted.

Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei looking at him sadly and said, "Brother, you are so biased. You found Wenyuan and Gongming for my second brother. I don't have any decent Zhubu and Gongcao under my command."

"."

Liu Bei's mouth twitched a little, and he thought to himself, Third brother, third brother, your acting is too bad.
But he still opened his mouth helplessly, "Okay, okay, Third Brother, tell me, is there anyone you want?"

As soon as these words came out.

Zhang Fei immediately became cautious, his eyes brightened, and he asked in surprise, "Really???"

After saying this, he glanced wildly at Jian Yong and Hua Tuo.

Liu Bei's mouth froze, and he said hurriedly: "Mr. Hua is the chief secretary, and Xianhe is Mr. Hua's subordinate, they can't give it to you."

"That day Zhuge"

"Absolutely not!"

Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "Third brother, go and choose from the army, except for the people I mentioned."

"Okay! Big brother, I'll take my leave now!"

After saying this, Zhang Fei ran away.

Seeing Zhang Fei leave, Guan Yu, who had been standing silently beside him, spoke up, "Brother, I also want to take Wenyuan and Gongming to familiarize myself with military affairs."

"Okay—wait."

Liu Bei immediately remembered Zhang Liao's previous hint and stopped Guan Yu, saying, "Second brother, stay."

"What's wrong, brother?" Guan Yu asked puzzledly.

"I just saw Wenyuan carrying a nice sword. I guess he is quite skilled in martial arts and has been in the army for some time. I can't help but feel itchy."

After saying that, Liu Bei smiled at Zhang Liao. He had just seen Zhang Liao grip the hilt of the sword several times, with an eager look on his face, as if he was going to fight him in the next moment.

Jian Yong could no longer sit still. He stood up and said, "My Lord, you want to compete with Wen Yuan in swordsmanship? Isn't this bullying the weak?"

Liu Bei opened his mouth and was about to speak.

Zhang Liao spoke up first. He stepped forward and said seriously, "Master Jian, I am really sorry. It was my fault for overestimating my own abilities and trying to fight with Lord Liu."

"you?"

Jian Yong didn't say anything, but instead said to Hua Tuo: "Mr. Hua, remember to keep a close eye on Zhang Wenyuan."

"Don't worry," Hua Tuo stroked his beard, "Xianhe, I'm always watching."

Zhang Liao felt that the scene was becoming strange, and everyone looked at him with sympathy.

Zhang Liao was confused: ???

Liu Bei asked patiently, "Wenyuan, why do you want to fight me?"

Zhang Liao calmed down and said frankly: "I have fought with Guan Duwei before. Although I am not as good as him in fists and swords, Guan Duwei is not good at swordsmanship. I heard that you are an expert in swordsmanship, so I want to learn from you."

Liu Bei smiled awkwardly and said, "It's all misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

However, when Liu Bei saw the fighting spirit in Zhang Liao's eyes, he said seriously: "Okay, Wenyuan, why not give it a try. I won't bully you, just use a sword."

"A sword?"

Zhang Liao realized something was wrong when he heard this, and he thought along the lines of the Lord of the Mansion, that is, he was good at two-handed swords???

You know, there are not many people who are good at using two swords.

All of them are masters.

Combined with the reactions of Jian Zhubu and the crowd, this Liu Fujun must be no simple matter!
Zhang Liao did not retreat, but became more and more eager to fight. Now it was just a contest, he was not afraid of losing, he could just practice again after losing. If it was a contest, he could recognize his own shortcomings, which was far more important than a victory.

"Master, I am also good at using swords. Please use the twin swords that you are best at!"

Liu Bei saw Zhang Liao's reaction and was full of admiration. He did not refuse and nodded, "Okay."

"Follow me to the training ground."

Liu Bei said to several people.

Liu Bei, Zhang Liao and his party walked to the parade ground.

Even Zhang Fei, who was still selecting people, was attracted. He squeezed next to Jian Yong and asked
"What happened? Why is Big Brother confronting Wenyuan?"

Jian Yong glanced at Zhang Fei and patiently repeated to him what had just happened.

Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows after hearing this. "Eight hundred are so brave? Whether it's swordplay or foot combat, who can beat big brother except me and second brother?"

You know, when they were young, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong followed Liu Bei and chased the bully from the east end of Zhuo County to the west end of Zhuo County.

Liu Bei was famous for his proficiency in using two-handed weapons.

If he changes to a spear or a halberd, Zhang Wenyuan may still have a chance of winning.

Jian Yong sighed, "Yes, so I asked Mr. Hua to cheer up and be ready to rescue people at any time."

-

"My Lord, I apologize for the offense. Liao is drawing his sword!"

Zhang Liao drew out his sword, and the sword light was as clear as water.

This surprised him secretly. This sword was better than his own. He had to know that he spent a lot of money to make a sword. The two swords in his hands were just forged by craftsmen in the army and had not even been opened.

Compared with this one, his sword is just scrap metal.

Liu Bei was accustomed to Zhang Liao's reaction. After all, the weapons were forged with the skills of later generations. How could they not be stronger than the weapons of the Han Dynasty at present?
"Wenyuan, you need to concentrate."

Liu Bei rushed towards Zhang Liao in one leap.

Zhang Liao came back to his senses immediately. Although he was a little unfamiliar with using two swords at the same time, his years of martial arts training were still there. The more panicked he was, the calmer he was.

His eyes were fixed on Liu Bei's figure and he immediately made a decision in his mind.

Get the timing right.

Zhang Liao immediately swung out his two swords. His sword skills were sharp and agile. The sword lights in front and behind were like silver flying swallows.

See this scene.

I felt Feiyan blocking the way forward.

Liu Bei couldn't help but cheer for Zhang Liao in his heart! He is indeed Zhang Wenyuan!

If it were a life-and-death fight, these two swords would not be so simple.

However, for him, it couldn't be simpler.

Thinking is just a brief moment.

Liu Bei's body fought back in an instant, and he swung out two swords casually.

It's like a swordsman who has been immersed in swordsmanship for many years.

Accurately attack the weak points.

Zhang Liao felt something was wrong, but it was too late.

The silver swallow's wings were eventually broken.

Liu Bei held Feiyan back with one sword and used the other sword to knock the other one away.

Zhang Liao's pupils were twitching. In his eyes, Liu Bei just smiled and then reacted immediately, especially his left wrist, which was shaken and hurt.

What a great strength!
Not even below me!
No, stronger than me!
Zhang Liao didn't have time to think much because Liu Bei's attack had already arrived.

It was the sword that caused his left hand to hurt!

Zhang Liao immediately made a decision and retreated.

Liu Bei refused to give in and continued to attack him, launching one sword move after another.

Zhang Liao could only counter the opponent's moves and swing his sword with all his might.

"Ding Ding Ding"

After dozens of rounds, Zhang Liao felt his hands going weak. He now understood why Jian Zhubu reacted like this. Who could become more and more ferocious as the fight went on?
Moreover, Liu Bei's long arms, coupled with his fierce swordsmanship, produced a wonderful effect that was totally beyond the reach of ordinary people.

To admit defeat
No!

As soon as the thought of admitting defeat came to his mind, it was suppressed by Zhang Liao. He still had his most powerful move that he had not used yet, and when facing an opponent like Liu Fujun, he had to at least use it!
Zhang Liao launched an active attack. Zhang Liao rushed forward. The cold light that flashed when Zhang Liao swung his sword startled everyone.

then
Zhang Liao lost.

"Kang Dang"

Zhang Liao did not hold the sword tightly in his left hand, and the sword fell to the ground, making an awkward sound and falling silent.

"Huhuhuhu, I lost."

Zhang Liao wiped the sweat from his forehead and admitted defeat openly. He was not embarrassed at all.

He scratched his head again and looked at Liu Bei with admiration, "My Lord, your swordsmanship is truly amazing."

The soldiers watching burst into thunderous cheers.

Who wouldn’t be happy if their master is so powerful?
Liu Bei put away his sword, took the water handed to him by the soldier, and stuffed a cup into Zhang Liao's arms.

After Liu Bei finished drinking the water, he smiled at Zhang Liao and said, "Wenyuan, you are joking. I just have the advantage of having longer arms. I roamed the streets when I was young, and that's how I learned the so-called swordsmanship. The sword is not suitable for fighting on the battlefield."

After a battle, Liu Bei liked Zhang Liao more and more. No matter how much pressure Liu Bei put on Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao would not panic. He was always looking for the possibility of winning and would definitely fight back if he got the chance.

It was because of this kind of character that he dared to charge into Sun Quan's army of 800 with only cavalry.

"Wenyuan, how about it, now you know how powerful my big brother is."

Zhang Fei walked in front of Zhang Liao, and then he patted his chest, "Wenyuan, shall we practice? After all, I, the third brother, have been on the battlefield before."

Guan Yu stopped him and said, "Third brother, Wenyuan needs to rest."

Liu Bei cleared his throat and said, "Third brother, second brother is right, let Wenyuan have a good rest."

Zhang Fei muttered, "I didn't say now. Isn't Mr. Hua there? Just let Mr. Hua show it to Wen Yuan."

As soon as Zhang Fei finished speaking, Hua Tuo came up.

Seeing this, Liu Bei said, "We will leave for Liangzhou soon. I still have some official business to attend to, so I will leave first."

"Government affairs?" Jian Yong was puzzled. "Hasn't government affairs been dealt with? Your Excellency, what do you want to do?"

Before Jian Yong could finish his words, Liu Bei disappeared.

Hiding in a secluded corner, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. He rubbed his wrist and said, "Hiss - Wenyuan is really strong."
