Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Just a few days ago, two letters sent by strangers were delivered to Liu Bei one by one.

At that time, he was still working under his old classmate Gongsun Zan.

And his two brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as one of the few close ministers in Liu Bei's hands, helped him control the military drills and training work under his command.

……

In fact, due to the unfair treatment during the Yellow Turban Rebellion...in that large-scale battle like dividing up the cake, Liu Bei failed to get the foundation and political capital he deserved at all.

When he raised his army in 184 A.D., Liu Bei held three to five hundred heroes and more than ten horses in his hands. One year later, after accepting the imperial court's reward, not only did his power not increase...instead, it was stronger than before. And a little less.

It may be due to his personality. After he was named Anxi County Captain by the court, his political career in Anxi County was not smooth for Liu Bei.

Because he couldn't adapt to the officialdom environment there, after some careful consideration, Liu Bei chose to resign and hang his seal, left Anxi County, and turned to his old classmate Baima General Gongsun Zan.

After that, he served as the head of the army under Gongsun Zan and led the soldiers for three full years.

When the two letters were delivered to Liu Bei one after the other, he was discussing future plans with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in his account.

After all, it's not always a thing to be subservient for a long time.All his life, Liu Bei wanted to do some practical things for the great man. It was difficult to realize his ideals and political ambitions by following Gongsun Zan to resist the Huns, Xianbei and other tribes in the northern border.

It was under such circumstances that Lu Zhi, as Liu Bei's mentor many years ago, sent that letter, which immediately made the sentimental Liu Bei feel a little depressed and sad.

As a member of the royal family of the great man, in terms of seniority, Liu Bei is still the uncle of the current emperor Liu Bian.

Liu Bian's humiliation can be said to have fundamentally stimulated Liu Bei's determination to raise troops, and prompted him to make up his mind to leave the comfort zone around Gongsun Zan and do what he should do for the big man.

And Liu Bei, as Cao Cao's classmate when he was studying in his early years, naturally received the edict issued by Cao Cao to all parts of the world.

Maybe Cao Cao himself didn't think that this old classmate could help him...

The reason why Liu Bei was notified was just incidentally.

……

But for Liu Bei, Cao Cao sent him this letter, which is indeed extremely important to him.

Because if Lu Zhi's letter gave Liu Bei the motivation to be self-reliant, Cao Cao's letter gave Liu Bei his future direction.

That night, Liu Bei approached Gongsun Zan with letters from Cao Cao and Lu Zhi.

And as another student of Lu Zhi, Gongsun Zan naturally had no doubts about his teacher's faith.

Immediately, Gongsun Zan agreed to Liu Bei's request to leave here, and even gave Liu Bei some army money and food to use on the road because of his friendship with classmates.

……

It's a pity, because Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, was stripped of his position as Taiwei by the court at the same time, so the whole Youzhou is now in a period of turmoil.

As the god of Dinghai in Youzhou, Gongsun Zan had no way to leave Beiping where he was stationed immediately.

But he also told Liu Bei that when the work at hand is over, he will send troops to support Cao Cao as soon as possible. Before that, Liu Bei can act as his classmate and plenipotentiary represent him in the coalition initiated by Cao Cao. Decide.

Therefore, in addition to being a single soldier, Liu Bei also served as the emissary of Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping and the white horse general.

As one of the three heroes of the North, Gongsun Zan, who has guarded the frontier for many years, has a very strong status and reputation, so Liu Bei also has the protection brought by such a status.

……

As of here, everything in the future looks so smooth for Liu Bei...

However, as emotional creatures, human beings have weaknesses.

Liu Bei is no exception.

……

If Guan Yu's weakness is arrogance and hatred for the aristocratic class, and Zhang Fei's weakness is violent temper and overly strict military regulations, then Liu Bei's weakness is undoubtedly the beating heart of benevolence and righteousness in his chest .

Yes, in troubled times, the word "benevolence and righteousness" is not a flattering word.

Because of benevolence and righteousness, Liu Bei could not see the suffering of the people wherever he went.

Whenever he saw bandits and villains rampaging along the road, Liu Bei would take advantage of the five hundred soldiers that Gongsun Zan had gifted to him, and go up to take care of this "nosy".

Nosy too much, the time on the road will naturally be long.

The food that was originally enough to support 500 people to Chenliu had bottomed out before it reached the border of Yanzhou.

……

Coupled with Liu Bei's well-known benevolence, when he sees families who cannot afford to eat, he will more or less give a bite of food to survive...

If things go on like this, these soldiers who followed him escaped from his command. It really can't be said to be the fault of these soldiers.

After traveling all day, I was already tired... Now that the food for two meals a day has changed from rice noodles to porridge, it is a bit difficult.

How can you expect these people to serve you as soldiers if you can't even eat enough?

……

"That's all, that's it, Yide, tell the soldiers in the kitchen to give everyone more food tonight."

"In two or three days at most, we will enter Chenliu's territory."

"In addition to being participants this time, we are also the emissaries of Brother Gongsun. If there are not even 300 soldiers left, it would be a bit too embarrassing for him."

"Gongsun is kind to me, how can I lose his face in front of outsiders?"

……

Frowning and looking at the soldiers outside the tent, Liu Bei gave Zhang Fei some sad instructions.

……

"what?"

……

Looking at Liu Bei speechlessly, Zhang Fei felt that he was going to be pissed off by this good brother.

Today's food is not enough, and if you ask the kitchen to add more food, then after tomorrow, everyone will go on the road hungry, and they will not eat or drink for two days and one night, and insist on going to Chenliu County?

This is too absurd!

Shaking his head secretly, Zhang Fei didn't care much about Liu Bei's statement.

……

But after thinking about it, he still stood up, nodded towards Liu Bei, and then whispered:

"Okay, then I'll go first."

"Brother, rest here for a while, wait until tomorrow, let's set off early, and try to reach Chenliu before dark!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Fei clasped his hands together, ready to withdraw from Liu Bei's tent.

……

"Oh, big brother, you are really deceitful..."

I sighed silently in my heart, it was not the first day Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei, so he was almost used to some of Liu Bei's habits.

If it doesn't work... If it doesn't work, then I can only find a way to speed up the marching speed.

At this time, Zhang Fei had already made up his mind. After he went out, he announced to the soldiers that he would get up an hour early tomorrow and set off, and he had to find a place to stay before dark.

It doesn't matter if it is a village, a county town or anywhere, as long as there are people, it will be easy to handle.

If it doesn't work, he can also pawn some of the weapons and armor that the generals don't need at present, and he can get some food back after all.

……

But just as he walked to the door and was about to lift the curtain to leave the tent, a tall figure suddenly walked towards him and bumped into him.

Even though Zhang Fei's body weighed about two hundred kilograms, he was bumped into a stumble by that person.

Looking up, it was a middle-aged man who was nearly nine feet tall, with a heavy face and fat lips, who else could it be if it wasn't Guan Yu?

I saw that Guan Yu was a man with Danfeng eyes and crouching silkworm eyebrows. He was majestic and majestic, and his appearance was dignified.

In addition, in the human face, the Danfeng eyes and the crouching silkworm eyebrows are in conflict, and it is extremely difficult to appear on the same face.

The phoenix eyes are powerful, and they are half-closed on weekdays, but once they are opened, they are murderous.

And the crouching silkworm was like fog and wind, making Guan Yu's whole face less evil.

Even to someone who doesn't know him, Guan Yu doesn't look like a general fighting on the battlefield, but rather a heroic scholar.

……

"Ouch!"

"You...Second Brother?"

"No, second brother, why are you here?"

……

"At this time, shouldn't you be still outside the camp to check the surrounding situation!"

……

Almost being bumped by the oncoming Guan Yu, Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and rubbed his forehead, and then there was a hint of surprise on his face.

According to the usual arrangement, when camping at night, his second brother Guan Yu should lead people to guard the surroundings.

After all, Guan Yu's pair of red phoenix eyes don't know how to grow them. He usually squints slightly during the day, as if opening them a little bit will shake unbearably.

And once it's night... these eyes, as if they were born to adapt to night vision, began to show their power.

As long as it is not the extreme night where you can't see your fingers, Guan Yu's place in it is no different from the daytime.

Relying on this talent, when Guan Yu was wandering in Hedong in the early years, he did not know how many killers who wanted to attack him in the dark.

……

"Big brother!"

"Third brother... are you here too?"

"That's right, come out with me!"

……

Being hit by Zhang Fei and making an emergency stop, Guan Yu was also a little dazed for a while.

But soon, he shook his head, and saw clearly that those in front of him were his two sworn brothers.
