Chapter 35 Mutual Benefit
Liu Bei's expression did not move, his clenched fist slowly loosened, and he did not speak. Before hearing Zhang Jun's news, he would definitely not give up easily.
Not far away, Gao Cheng knelt behind the wooden case, slowly holding the wine bottle to drink, and looked at Liu Guanzhang and the three of them with the rest of his eyes, at this time, Liu Bei and his two sworn brothers were still at a low point in their lives, and the strength of the three of them was strong, but if they did not depend on others, they would have no chance to grow their power at all.
Liu Bei claimed to be the king of Zhongshan Jing, and was a relative of the Han family, but King Jing of Zhongshan was the clan of the Western Han Dynasty, and the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty was several generations behind. Liu Bei is more than five generations behind the current royal family, and the identity of the descendant of Queen Jing of Zhongshan cannot bring him much benefit when the prestige of the Han royal family has not decreased.
Gao Cheng secretly said in his heart: "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 office, I lack strong manpower, but I can recruit three people and use their strength. ”
Yes, what Gao Cheng wants now is to let the three of them do things for themselves while the three brothers Liu Guanzhang have not yet risen. The mountains and rivers in the Lujiang River are vertical and horizontal, there are water thieves, mountain barbarians, and heroes who do not obey the control in various places. Gao Cheng's status is not high, and these people will definitely not be convinced when they see that the new Taishou is so young.
Gao Cheng has now stabilized the first innate weight, his strength is strong, and his mental strength is majestic, of course, he has the ability to deal with these people, but in addition to him, Lu Dai, Jiang Qin, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and Xu Xuan have not yet broken through the transcendent realm.
Liu Bei is an extraordinary powerhouse in the Soul Refining Realm, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are super fierce generals in the Refining Gang Sevenfold, and the three of them lost their officials 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 with others for a long time. Gao Cheng understands this, and he will not be naïve to think that he can make Liu Guanzhang and the others completely surrender to him.
As long as Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can be used for themselves temporarily, when Lujiang County stabilizes, Gao Cheng will have a lot less trouble, and Liu Guanzhang and the three of them can also embark on their official careers again with merit, the best of both worlds, mutual benefit.
At this time, there was a sudden uproar from the Ningwu Restaurant outside. The voices of many children of the family were noisy, and Gao Cheng and Liu Bei could hear the voices of these people from afar.
"Oh no, Zhang Jun has angered His Majesty and has been imprisoned!"
"Hey, I know that the Ten Standing Servants have deep influence in the court, and if you want to eradicate eunuchs, only a hero like Yuan Benchu can do it. Zhang Jun is upright, but he is weak, how can he be the opponent of the Ten Standing Servants!"
Gao Cheng and Liu Bei were very keen, and when they heard the discussions of those children of the family, their expressions were different.
Liu Bei was silent, and after waiting for a while, his right hand slapped on the wooden case, stood up with a bang, let out a deep breath, and said, "Second brother and third brother, let's go! Although Luoyang is big, there is no place for our brothers to stand!"
Guan Yu squinted his eyes and stood up with a faint expression, while Zhang Fei asked, "Big brother, where are we going when we leave Luoyang?"
Liu Bei sighed, at this time, he remembered that his senior brother Gongsun Zhan, who had listened to the lecture under Lu Zhimen before, heard that he had been promoted to the rank of cavalry captain in Youzhou, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. The power in Youzhou is not weak, there is really no way, the three brothers can only go to Youzhou to seek refuge with this senior brother.
Gao Cheng saw that the three of them were about to leave, so he immediately stood up and stepped forward and shouted, "Three of you stay!"
Liu Bei turned his head to see Gao Cheng, his heart moved slightly, he had already cultivated his spiritual power to the transcendent realm, and his five senses were very keen, and he had just discovered that Gao Cheng was hiding a powerful spiritual power. At such an age, you can cultivate to this realm, and it must be those elites of the family.
When the three of them were about to leave, the other party kept them, did they want to recruit their three brothers?
Gao Cheng saw that the other party stopped, and said with a smile: "Take the liberty to disturb, in Gao Cheng in Xia Guangling, I saw that the appearance of the three is very similar to the three generals who broke the yellow scarf and made great achievements in the rumors, so I want 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 stunned when they heard this, Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and he arched his hand and said: "I didn't expect Gao Gongzi to have heard of the names of the three of us, yes, in Liu Bei, the word Xuande, these two are my sworn brothers Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide!"
No matter what the purpose of the person in front of him is, Liu Bei is ready to make friends with the other party, anyway, the three brothers are exhausted at this time, of course, the three of them have great ambitions, and they will definitely not take refuge in the children of the family as slaves.
Guan Yu saw the brocade robe on Gao Cheng's body, his eyes flashed, he didn't speak, Zhang Fei showed a smile on his face, it was obvious that what Gao Cheng said just now had made a great contribution to breaking the yellow scarf, which touched his mind.
The three brothers, Gao Cheng and Liu Guanzhang, exchanged names with each other, and then found a quiet room, and the four of them knelt around the wooden table.
When Xiao Er re-served the wine, Gao Cheng said: "As early as when I was in Yingchuan, I heard that Brother Xuande's name, Guan and Zhang are rare generals in the world, and they have made great contributions to breaking the Yellow Turban thieves, and today I am fortunate to meet three of them and see three heroes, it really makes me very excited, Brother Xuande, I will toast you!"
Saying that, Gao Cheng took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle and gave Liu Bei enough face. When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw this scene, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they had a good impression of Gao Cheng.
With Liu Bei's forbearance and the city government, when he saw Gao Cheng being so polite, he couldn't help but change color slightly, and hurriedly raised the wine bottle and drank a glass with Gao Cheng.
After everyone drank each other, the originally stiff atmosphere eased slightly. Gao Cheng said: "I heard just now that the three of you are about to leave Luoyang?
Zhang Fei snorted when he heard this, and said hatefully: "If it weren't for that bullshit superintendent, my eldest brother would still be a county lieutenant in Anxi County, where would he come to Luoyang!"
Subsequently, Zhang Fei told the causes and consequences of the three of them being dismissed, as well as the encounter with Zhang Jun.
Gao Cheng's heart was secretly moved, but there was a look of anger on his face, and he said: "I see, Brother Xuande is such a hero, he should have led the army to make contributions to the Han Dynasty, but he was assassinated by those villains, this is really useless for heroes!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are confident in their own strength, and they also think that the eldest brother Liu Bei has great ability, the three of them have literature and martial arts, but they are not allowed to reuse, the two of them have long held a fire in their hearts, Gao Cheng's words, they think so.
Liu Bei smiled slightly bitterly and said: "Ziming has a good reputation, as long as he can serve the Han, he will be satisfied, and he doesn't dare to expect to lead the army." The word hero is not ashamed!"
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, there is a suggestion in the next place, not long ago, I made a small contribution and was recommended as the Taishou of Lujiang, and I will go to office soon!"
"Brother Xuande might as well go to Lujiang with me, I would like to recommend my brother as the county Sima, the three water thieves and bandits who helped me sweep the Lujiang River, I can make military achievements, and then Brother Xuande can also become a full-time official of the Han Dynasty again, and continue to serve the Han!
