Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 240 Mutual Benefit
Liu Bei's expression remained motionless, his clenched fists were slowly released, and he didn't speak.Before hearing the news of Zhang Jun, he will never give up easily,

Not far away, Gao Cheng knelt and sat behind the wooden table, slowly drinking from a wine bottle, looking at Liu, Guan and Zhang from the corner of his eyes. The three of them are powerful, but if they don't depend on others, they have no chance to grow their power.

Liu Bei claimed to be the descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, and he was a relative of the Han family, but King Jing of Zhongshan was the clan of the Western Han Dynasty, and he was several generations behind the ancestor emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.The difference between Liu Bei and the current royal family is more than five generations. The status of the descendant of King Zhongshan Jing did not bring him much benefit when the prestige of the Han royal family had not been reduced.

Gao Cheng thought to himself: "Liu Bei's status is too low, and it is extremely difficult to become a prince. At this time they are at a low point. If I go to Lujiang to take up the post, I lack strong manpower, but I can recruit three people. With their help strength."

That's right, what Gao Cheng is thinking now is to let the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang do things for him while they have not risen yet.The mountains and rivers in Lujiang River are criss-crossed, there are water bandits, mountain barbarians, and tyrannical forces who do not obey the rules.Gao Cheng's status is not high, these people will definitely not be convinced when they see that the new prefect is so young.

Gao Cheng has now stabilized the first level of congenital, with strong strength and great mental power, of course he is capable of dealing with these people, but apart from him, Lu Dai, Jiang Qin, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and Xu Xuan have not yet Breaking through the extraordinary realm, after taking office, you can't let Gao Cheng, the prefect, do everything by himself, right?
Liu Bei is an extraordinary powerhouse in the soul refining realm, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are super strong generals in the seventh level of gang refining, and the three of them lost their positions and fled. As long as Gao Cheng is willing to give them a chance, the three of them will definitely agree.

Liu Bei has great ambitions and will not live under others for a long time.Gao Cheng understood this, and would not naively think that he could make the three of them completely surrender to him.

He only needs Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to be able to use him for the time being. When Lujiang County stabilizes, Gao Cheng will have less trouble, and Liu Guan and Zhang will be able to embark on official careers again with their merits. The best of both worlds, mutual benefit.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion from the Ningwu Restaurant outside.The voices of the children of many aristocratic families were noisy, and Gao Cheng and Liu Bei could hear the voices of these people from a distance.

"It's not good, Zhang Jun offended His Majesty, and has already been sentenced to prison!"

"Hey, I knew that the ten permanent servants had great influence in the imperial court. To eradicate eunuchs, only a hero like Yuan Benchu ​​would be able to do it. Zhang Jun is upright and upright, but weak in power, how can he be the opponent of the ten permanent servants! "

Gao Cheng and Liu Bei's five senses were very sensitive, and when they heard the comments of those aristocratic children, their expressions were different.

Liu Bei remained silent. After waiting for a while, he slammed his right hand on the wooden table, stood up with a bang, let out a deep breath, and said, "Second and third brothers, let's go! Although Luoyang is big, But there is no foothold for our brothers!"

Guan Yu squinted his eyes and stood up calmly, while Zhang Fei asked, "Brother, where shall we leave Luoyang?"

Liu Bei sighed. At this moment, he remembered that his brother Gongsun Zan, who was also a lecturer under Lu Zhi's school, had been promoted to the captain of cavalry in Youzhou, and he had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command.The power in Youzhou is not weak, there is really no way, the three brothers can only go to Youzhou to join this senior brother.

Gao Cheng saw that the three were about to leave, so he stood up immediately, stepped forward and shouted: "You three stay behind!"

Liu Bei turned his head to see Gao Cheng, and his heart moved a little. He has cultivated his spiritual power to an extraordinary level, and his five senses are very keen. He just discovered that Gao Cheng hides a powerful spiritual power.To be able to cultivate to this level at such an age must be the elites of those aristocratic families.

When the three of them were about to leave, the other party tried to persuade them to stay. Could it be that they wanted to recruit the three of them?

Seeing the other party stop, Gao Cheng cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Excuse me, Gao Cheng saw the appearance of the three in Xiaguangling, and they were very similar to the three generals who made great achievements in defeating the Yellow Turban in the rumors, so I wanted to get acquainted! The three virtuous brothers should be Liu Xuande, Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide, right?"

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were slightly taken aback when they heard the words. Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and he cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Gao to have heard of the names of the three of us. That's right. Next, Liu Bei, whose name is Xuande, these two are My sworn brothers Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide!"

No matter what the purpose of this person in front of him is, Liu Bei is ready to make friends with him. Anyway, the three brothers are at the end of their ropes at this time. Of course, the three of them have great ambitions, and they will definitely not seek refuge with the children of the aristocratic family as servants.

Seeing the brocade robe on Gao Cheng's body, Guan Yu's eyes lit up, and he didn't speak. A smile appeared on Zhang Fei's face. Obviously, what Gao Cheng said just now made great achievements in breaking the yellow scarf touched his heart.

The three brothers Gao Cheng, Liu Guan and Zhang exchanged names, then found a quiet room, and the four of them knelt around the wooden table.

After Xiaoer re-served the drink, Gao Cheng said: "As early as in Yingchuan, I heard about Brother Xuande's name. Guan and Zhang are rare generals in the world. Today, I have the honor to get to know three of you, and seeing these three heroes really makes me very excited, brother Xuande, let me offer you a toast!"

As he spoke, Gao Cheng took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle, giving Liu Bei enough face.Seeing this scene, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't help but look at each other, feeling more fond of Gao Cheng.

With Liu Bei's forbearance and the Chengfu, they couldn't help but change color slightly when they saw Gao Cheng being treated so politely, and quickly raised the wine bottle, and had a drink with Gao Cheng.

After everyone had a drink with each other, the originally tense atmosphere eased slightly.Gao Cheng said: "Just now I heard that the three of you are planning to leave Luoyang? I don't know what's going on?"

Zhang Fei snorted when he heard the words, and said bitterly: "If it wasn't for that bullshit Duyou, my eldest brother is still serving as a county captain in Anxi County, how could he come to Luoyang!"

Afterwards, Zhang Fei told the ins and outs of the three of them being dismissed from office, and what happened when they met Zhang Jun.

Gao Cheng's heart moved secretly, but his face was full of anger, and he said: "So, brother Xuande is such a hero, he should have led the army to make contributions to the great man, but he was assassinated by those villains. This really makes heroes useless. !"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have confidence in their own strength, and they also think that their elder brother Liu Bei has great ability. The three of them have both literature and military skills, but they can't reuse them. There has been a fire in their hearts for a long time. Gao Cheng's words, They take it for granted.

Liu Bei smiled wryly, and said: "Zi Ming is too famous. As long as he can serve the great man, I will be satisfied. I dare not expect to lead the army. I am ashamed to be a hero!"

Gao Cheng looked at the faces of the three of them, paused deliberately, and said, "If the three of you don't want to stay in Luoyang, I have a suggestion. Not long ago, I made a small contribution and was recommended as the prefect of Lujiang. Go to office!"

"Brother Xuande, why don't you go to Lujiang with me? I would like to recommend my elder brother to be the commander of the county. The three water thieves and bandits who help me clear the Lujiang River will be able to make military exploits. By then, brother Xuande will also be able to become a full-time official of the Han Dynasty again. Continue to work for the big man! I don't know what brother Xuande wants?"
