Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 22 Liu, Guan and Zhang Trio
Although Yuan Shu was very eager to become emperor, he did not immediately announce to the public that he wanted to be emperor. Instead, he began to prepare intensively.

Becoming an emperor is not something that can be done casually.

Since ancient times, royal power was either granted by God or passed on through abdication in imitation of Yao and Shun; but since there was no emperor in hand, abdication was naturally not feasible, so the only way was to use the first method.

This method is also simple. It is nothing more than discovering some auspicious signs or digging out some tokens that represent destiny and God's will.

There were stories like a fox howling in the middle of the night, a white snake being slashed with a red sword, a note being found in a fish's belly, a thousand-year-old turtle suddenly surfacing with "xx is the true emperor" engraved on its shell, etc.

Things like this can all be seen as instructions and approval from God.

You can say it is fake, and others may not believe it, but it must exist because it represents "God's will."

This is also why Yuan Shu tried to attribute the prophecy to himself, because he wanted others to know that he was not the one who usurped the Han Dynasty, and that his enthronement was in accordance with the will of heaven.

As to whether it is really destiny, no one knows.

……

Jizhou, outside Yecheng.

Now that late autumn has passed and winter is approaching, although the weather has not yet turned completely cold, there is already a deep chill in the wind.

A withered yellow leaf hung on the bare branch, trembling and shaking, but stubbornly refusing to fall.

"Tap tap tap—!"

Three horses galloped past on the ancient road one after another. The wind they raised blew away the leaves, which were then trampled heavily into the mud by the horses' hooves.

"Uu——!"

Suddenly, the leading rider reined in his horse and stopped.

So the two riders behind also stopped.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

One of the riders stepped forward and asked, but he saw that the man was eight feet tall, with a leopard head, round eyes, a swallow chin and a tiger beard, and his voice was incomparably loud.

"Brother, are you tired and want to rest?"

At this time, another rider also asked.

This man was much more handsome than the previous one, with a face as red as a date, lips as if painted with rouge, phoenix eyes, long eyebrows, and three strands of long beard floating on his chest. He looked imposing and intimidating.

In response to the two people's questions, the leading rider shook his head, raised his whip and pointed ahead, saying, "Ten miles ahead is Yecheng."

"I am hesitating now. I don't know if joining Yuan Shao is the right choice."

The man whom the two men called Big Brother also had a good appearance. He was tall, with arms that were longer than his knees. He had a handsome face, deep and bright eyes, and gave people a gentle feeling.

The most striking thing is that his earlobes are very large, which shows that he is blessed with great fortune.

If Liu Xie were here at this moment, he would definitely be able to recognize the identities of these three people at a glance.

These three people are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei!
The looks of these three people are so extraordinary that they can be noticed at a glance even in a crowd.

Especially Guan Yu's red face, phoenix eyes, and long beard, and Liu Bei's big earlobes, are all iconic features recorded in history; and since both of them are here, there is naturally no need to explain the identity of the remaining person.

These three brothers always go together wherever they go.
"Hey bro, there's nothing to worry about."

Zhang Fei rode forward and said nonchalantly, "If Yuan Shao is a fake emperor, we can go to Xu County and surrender to Cao Cao."

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Third brother, you think too simply. I am a relative of the Han Dynasty. If I come to Yuan Shao and then leave and join Cao Cao, how do you think people in the world will view Yuan Shao?"

Zhang Fei scratched his head and asked in confusion: "How do you see it?"

Liu Bei: "..."

He thought it would be better for him to be more direct when talking to his third brother in the future. "What the eldest brother meant was that if the emperor here in Yuan Shao was a fake, then he would definitely not let us leave, lest we be exposed."

Guan Yu explained to Zhang Fei, "You must know that my elder brother is a relative of the Han Dynasty and has a great reputation. If he says that the emperor in Yecheng is a fake, then who will believe Yuan Shao again?"

"So, our journey to Yecheng is quite dangerous."

It is obvious that Guan Yu was well aware of the risks of coming to Yecheng this time. It is no exaggeration to say that it was a gamble.

Liu Bei didn't say anything, just sighed.

Zhang Fei was furious after hearing the explanation. He glared and said, "How dare Yuan Shao! If he wants to harm me, he should first ask the Zhangba Snake Spear in my hand if it agrees!"

Zhang Fei shook the spear in his hand, and a cold light flashed.

A dead tree as thick as a bowl on the roadside was suddenly pierced through!

A casual blow could be so terrifying.

It is hard to imagine what would happen if this spear stabbed a person.

"Third brother, please be patient and don't be impatient."

Liu Bei held Zhang Fei's shoulder and said soothingly, "Yuan Benchu ​​is praised as a role model for the world. He comes from a famous family and is a local hero. I don't think he would do something like finding someone to pretend to be the emperor."

"We came to Yecheng this time not only to pay homage to the emperor, but also to ask Yuan Shao for help and to retake Pei County. When we meet him, please don't be so rude, after all, we have something to ask of him."

Zhang Fei nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, big brother. I know."

But when he heard his words, Liu Bei's worry became even worse.

Every time his third brother told him not to worry, it was often what worried him the most in the end. It seemed that he would have to keep a closer eye on him when he came back.

Guan Yu wiped the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for the three-surnamed slave who took advantage of our unpreparedness to send troops to attack and seize Pei County, we would not have fallen to the point of begging for help!"

"Once I can borrow some soldiers, I will definitely lead them back and kill that villain to avenge myself!"

The reason why the three brothers came to Yecheng to ask Yuan Shao for help was that Lu Bu sent troops to attack Pei County and seized their territory.

Now Pei County was occupied by Lu Bu, and even Liu Bei's wife and children were captured, so they had no choice but to shamelessly ask others for troops.

This was extremely humiliating for Guan Yu!
"Don't worry, Yunchang, we will take Pei County back."

Liu Bei comforted him, patted Guan Yu on the shoulder, and smiled heartily: "A real man can bend and stretch, and it is not shameful to ask for help. Brother, haven't I asked for help too many times in my life?"

Guan Yu pursed his lips and remained silent.

It was obvious that he was not relieved by his brother's words.

Liu Bei felt helpless when he saw this. He naturally understood his second brother's arrogant nature, but given the current situation, there was nothing he could do.

"Okay, let's hurry up and get to Yecheng before dark!"

"Second brother, third brother, whoever arrives last will treat us to a drink!"

"I'll go first, hahaha! Go——!"

Liu Bei regained his spirit, said this, then spurred his horse and rode away.

"Brother, you are cheating!"

"Third brother, I'm leaving first! Go——!"

"Wow! Wait for me!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also galloped on their horses and followed closely behind.

　I have something to do today, so the update is a little late, sorry
