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

Most people think that Liu Bei is a hard-working man who studies hard all day, while running a small business and worrying about the country and the people to improve himself. In the end, he met two good brothers in his middle age, and the three of them worked together in a partnership. big event.

In fact, Liu Bei has been involved in the underworld in Zhuo County since he was a child, and he is even one of the leaders of the local gangs.The second brother, Guan Yu, and the third brother, Zhang Fei, are all younger brothers under the gang. After seeing the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the suffering of the Li people under the turmoil, the three of them changed their ways and embarked on a road of helping the big man. .

……

All in all, with such a background, Liu Bei will suffer some small losses in many social occasions.

Just like today, for some reason, the two of them introduced themselves to each other, and Liu Bei faintly had the strange idea that "Zhang Yan's status is much higher than his own", and even "the master is more respectful than the guest".

Even when communicating with Zhang Yan later, his momentum weakened a lot.

It can only be said that Lu Su was somewhat shameless when he played psychological offensive with an honest man like Liu Bei 2000 years ago.

But people are selfish, and Lu Su is no exception.

He smiled at Liu Bei, and then introduced loudly:

"Mr. Xuande, this is my lord, the Marquis of Wan, Zhang Yan and Zhang Demao."

"Before, we were all ordered by the Lord to lead the army to Chenliu to respond to the emperor's edict."

After finishing speaking, he smiled and pointed to Zhang Yan in front of him, and Liu Bei also understood, and saluted Zhang Yan again, and several people walked to the direction of the case inside the big tent.

……

"Ahem...Mr. Xuande, please take a seat."

"I think I have lived in Jiangdong for a long time, and when I returned to the north recently, I will inevitably feel a little unwell, so I came late and kept you waiting for a long time."

"I also hope that Duke Xuande and the two righteous men will not blame you."

First he waved his hands to the crowd, Zhang Yan coughed twice, and then asked the crowd to sit down.

And he himself sat on the main seat of the big tent.

……

"Mr. Xuande, I heard from the generals under your command that you appeared near Chenliu recently, and it seems that you are also leading troops to Chenliu to respond to the imperial edict."

"I don't know why you came to my camp today?"

Looking thoughtfully at the people present, Zhang Yan was the first to ask:

"Although this place is close to Chenliu, when I came here, I saw many soldiers from the states and counties in formation, but I came to visit at night, and it was the first time I saw a situation like you, Mr. Xuande, who couldn't wait to such an extent. .”

"I don't know where I can help Xuande Lord? Xuande Lord, just say it."

"You and I are both big fellow citizens, but if we have something within our power, we will never refuse easily."

……

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang, you are too serious."

Hearing Zhang Yan unabashedly asking why he and the others came, Liu Bei also blushed in a rare way.

Looking at the other party's appearance, it is obvious that he has already made up his mind, and he must have come here with a request, so no matter how false he is, it will have no practical significance.

First he smiled at the two brothers, and after giving him a look, Liu Bei replied:

"To be honest, the three brothers and I have the audacity to come to visit the envoy today, and we do have something to ask for."

"You don't know, although I, Liu Bei, is the Sima of the army under the command of Gongsun, the prefect of Beiping, but a few days ago, when I heard that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was humiliated, after Cao Mengde was summoned to the world, I felt a little bit of respect for the emperor and begging for adultery, so I bid farewell Gongsun Bogui led the army to Chenliu alone."

"Gongsun Bogui is unable to come due to his important business, so he entrusts me to come here to answer the imperial edict on his behalf."

"In a few days, after he clears up the territory, he will lead his troops to Chenliu to look for me."

"At that time, he and I will no longer belong to each other, but come from the same school. Since we are leading an army alone, we will feel embarrassed to bother Gongsun Bogui with logistical matters such as transporting money and food."

First, he euphemistically explained his relationship with Gongsun Zan, and Liu Bei quietly mentioned his independence in the army in front of Zhang Yan.

Although he looked plain and calm at the moment, but in his heart, he was already extremely nervous, and his hands were even slightly sweating in his sleeves.

……

"Oh? Then according to Duke Xuande's intention, you don't need to accept the command of Grand Administrator Gongsun now, and the troops under his command are completely obeyed by you. On the contrary, before the prefect Gongsun comes forward, your opinion can represent his Gongsun's opinion?"

Opposite Liu Bei, Zhang Yan was not surprised when he heard this.

Because in Romance, the relationship between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan is like this.Seemingly a subordinate, Liu Bei had nowhere to go, so he defected to Gongsun Zan... But in fact, he was only a name under Gongsun Zan's name.

Listening to the tune but not the announcement, what he said is a typical example of him.

And in the official history...

In the official history, Liu Bei never participated in the feudal lords seeking Dong, so there is no need to discuss it.

……

"...Leading the army alone is not an easy task. Supplies, food and salaries are all important matters."

"As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses are moved, the food and grass go first. Could it be that the purpose of Xuande's coming to my camp to find me this time is also because of the food and grass?"

Wei Wei nodded to Liu Bei, and Zhang Yan asked tentatively.

At the same time, there was a slight fluctuation in Zhang Yan's heart.

I have heard it a long time ago that Liu Bei was poor in his early years. Before he met the Xuzhou Mi family who took advantage of him, he had always lived in poverty.

With Zhang Fei's family property, it is enough to be a rich man.If you want to lead troops to fight, how can it be so simple?

If there is no accident, Liu Bei should be at a time when he is exhausted and unable to support himself.

If he does something at the right time, even if he can't directly make the other party appreciate Dade, it's still okay to leave a good impression or something.

Of course, it also depends on what Liu Bei is looking for and whether the scale is too large.

Efforts are acceptable to Zhang Yan, but if you do your best like the Mi family, and even put your own foundation into it... then it is unnecessary.

Favors belong to favors, and politics belong to politics.

Everyone is an adult, and their status is no lower than yours. It is impossible for Zhang Yan to do such a stupid thing that he is not responsible for himself and his brothers.

……

"This...is exactly that."

On the side, Liu Bei nodded when he heard the words.

There was a little embarrassment on his face, but it didn't affect his next words:

"My lord, we came from Youzhou in the north of Hebei. The journey is far away, and we often meet homeless people who are suffering. I am the blood of the Liu family. Seeing the suffering of the people, I feel unbearable and cannot sit idly by. "

"After coming and going, the army has a lot of food and supplies, and it gradually becomes difficult and embarrassing."

……

"When I set up camp today, the soldiers in the camp reported to me that there was a huge army coming from the south in the distance. The battalion was several miles away, and it seemed to be the army of our dynasty."

"I thought that if there is such a large army, when there is plenty of food and supplies, then if I can borrow some food and grass, the soldiers under my command will be able to have enough food, so I came here with my three brothers to visit the envoy."

"I also hope that the envoy is kind enough to borrow some food and grass for the sake of you and me being fellow officials of the great man."

"When I return someday, I will settle down with the soldiers under my command, and I will return it several times. I will never forget it!"

……

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei stood up and saluted Zhang Yan again.

……

For some reason, Zhang Yan suddenly discovered that Liu Bei seemed to like to keep his posture low when interacting with others.

And people in this era often eat this set.

Not to mention someone like him who already had a good impression of Liu Bei, even a stranger who saw Liu Bei's attitude would not be able to help but feel good about him, and distributed his food to Liu Bei. The opponent's.

Yes, it is distributed to the other party, not loaned to the other party.

Just as the elders in the family often say, whether it is ancient times or modern times, some people borrow by borrowing, while others borrow by seeking.

Those who can lend food to Liu Bei at this time will definitely not be stingy with this little thing, let alone expect Liu Bei to repay him afterwards.

Firstly, such a small amount of food is nothing, and secondly, Liu Bei came to Chenliu today to serve King Qin... When the war starts in the future, whether he can live to the end of the war is a matter of debate...

You can't always expect a person who may die at any time to keep the so-called promise with you.

……

It's just that Zhang Yan is not much affected by Liu Bei's character at this moment.

"Borrow food..."

After pondering for a while, Zhang Yan raised his head and looked at Liu Bei not far away:

"I don't know how many soldiers under Duke Xuande's command? How much food and grass are there?"

"The food in our army is still plentiful. Why don't Duke Xuande give a rough figure? I'll ask the soldiers under my command to notify the baggage team. Tomorrow morning, I will send the baggage to the sergeants under Duke Xuande's account. Lord Xuande agrees how?"

……

Instead of directly agreeing to Liu Bei's request, Zhang Yan asked the other party first.

Just as I said before, if Liu Bei is just short of money and food, then he can naturally give it.

It's just that if Liu Bei speaks loudly like a lion and asks him for a large amount of food to expand his army... then forget it.

Blindly "chasing stars" is not advisable, people still have to take care of the things around them first.

And what he said, in the ears of the other party, is actually no different from expressly stating that he will give food, and even handed over the quantity demand for food to Liu Bei.

There are not many such opportunities.

Taking this opportunity, Zhang Yan took a look to see if Liu Bei was really a self-serving person wearing a good man's skin, as the rumors said.

……

"This is your generosity, I really appreciate it."

"This kindness will never be forgotten!"

Arching his hands towards Zhang Yan, Liu Bei's heart was lifted when Zhang Yan agreed to his request, and the expression on his face became much better.

I saw him get up again and salute again.

Perhaps on this day, Liu Bei saluted more times than the previous year combined.
