Chapter 2 Liu Guanzhang

"Shop, six bowls of noodles, is there any wine?"

On this day, after breakfast time, there was a loud noon, there were no diners in the store, Zhang Guang was trying to repair those chairs with loose legs and feet, and a rough voice sounded at the door of the store.

The three of them entered Zhang Guang's noodle restaurant, one was a big man with swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, a leopard's head and ringed eyes, the other was nine feet long, with a face like a heavy jujube, red phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, and the last one was seven feet five inches long, with both ears hanging down his shoulders and his hands over his knees.

This exaggerated image has come together, who else can there be besides Liu Guanzhang and the three of them? Why did the three of them come to Chen Liu?

Zhang Guang calculated the time, it was soon the first month of the first year of Chuping, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu should have already begun to raise the flag to summon the soldiers and horses of the eighteen towns to ask for Dong, and Liu Guan and Zhang came to Chen Liu, which is reasonable.

"General Zhang, I have wine here, but there is not much, so the price is not ordinarily expensive!"

Zhang Guang is ready to make a good fortune from the three brothers, and by the way, he will make a name for himself.

"Boom!" Zhang Fei slammed his fist on the table, and he almost flipped the table and jumped like thunder.

"You look down on people, don't you? If there is any good wine, even if you take it, our family is not short of money! ”

"Third brother, don't scare the store, the store, my third brother is just like this, if there is wine, even if it is on it, we will pay as much as it is!"

"This is what you Liu Xuande said himself, you can't bluff people, I'll give it to you below, wait for the next half, and the wine and noodles will come up for you together!"

Zhang Guang knew that Liu Bei was a person who regarded himself as a righteous man and a gentleman, and since he said this, he couldn't run away with wine money!

Zhang Guang's wines are all brewed by himself after taking over the noodle restaurant, and the taste is not as good as the top ten famous wines in the future, but it is definitely much better than the mixed wine of the Three Kingdoms period in the early Han Dynasty, but there is not much inventory.

After a month, the little money earned by the noodle restaurant and fortune telling is enough to brew dozens of catties, in the troubled times, food is expensive, and Zhang Guang usually drinks a few cups at night.

"Brother, this shop is a little strange, how did he know that the third brother's surname is Zhang? How do you know my brother's name? We've never been to Chen Liucheng before, do you know him? ”

As soon as Guan Yu reminded him, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei remembered that the shopkeeper just now was indeed called General Zhang and Liu Xuande as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Is it a black shop? We'll know when we teach him a lesson! Zhang Fei said and was about to get up.

"Third brother, don't be reckless."

Liu Bei hurriedly stopped, fortunately it was noon, and there were no other diners in the store, saying that it was a black shop for no reason, but he smashed someone's signboard.

Six bowls of noodles and a jar of wine were served one after another.

"Shopkeeper, are you bullying us? Is there five catties in such a small jar? Not enough for me to drink alone, but also for my second brother and eldest brother? ”

"One jar of wine, ten gold, one table of guests, only one jar!"

Guan Yu suppressed Zhang Fei, who wanted to go crazy, Liu Bei knew that he had just boasted about Haikou, not bad for wine money, not to mention ten gold, it was one hundred gold, this wine had to be drunk!

"Shopkeeper, can you sit down and have a drink together?"

"Big brother, a jar of wine, ten gold, you can buy ten war horses, you still invite him to drink?"

"In this way, thank you Brother Xuande!"

Zhang Guang was not polite, sat down and pulled out the cork, took four bowls, and poured a bowl for each of them.

"This, this aroma? Is it the aroma of wine? ”

As soon as the wine was put into the bowl, the aroma of the wine overflowed, and Liu Bei and the three couldn't help but feel their throats surging, and they drank a bowl of wine in one gulp.

"Oops, it's so spicy, it's strong enough, it's fast, give me the wine jar!" Zhang Fei snatched the wine jar, picked up the jar and drank it.

"Shop, this wine is worth it, it's definitely worth ten gold!"

Liu Bei and Guan Yu saw Zhang Fei like this, and they were also helpless, so they could only smash their mouths a few times and let Zhang Fei drink enough alone!

"Good wine...... Enough ......."

Zhang Fei, who drank a jar of wine, slammed his head on the table, drunk and unconscious.

"Shopkeeper, what are you mixing with this wine?" Guan Yu got up and reached out and grabbed Zhang Guang's collar.

"Second brother, let go, third brother is just drunk!"

"Oh, shopkeeper, how offended, my third brother has never been drunk, I didn't expect this wine to be so strong!"

Fortunately, Guan Yu was originally red-faced, and he couldn't tell if he was embarrassed.

"Shopkeeper, are you a Chen Liu? Have we met before? ”

"That's right, Chen Liu's locals, Zhang Guang, Brother Xuande wants to ask me why I know what your surname is, right? Wait! ”

Zhang Guang knew that the main event was coming, got up and closed the door of the store, took off the three-foot white cloth at the door of the store and handed it to Liu Bei.

"When you hear thunder, you know this life and the past life; God's eyes are like electricity, see through the fairy world? Shopkeeper, do you also know fortune telling? Liu Bei asked.

"How? Brother Xuande, do you want to count it as a hexagram? ”

"Let's hear it!"

From the moment Liu Bei entered the store, he felt that this shopkeeper was different from the ordinary small businessman, and there was no copper smell, especially "one altar of ten gold, one table is only for one altar", it was like borrowing wine to meet people.

"Liu Bei, the word Xuande, a descendant of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, studied under Lu Zhi when he was young, and later made a living by selling bamboo mats, this time together with the second brother Guan Yu and the third brother Zhang Fei, came to help the princes of the eighteen towns of Dong Zhuo!"

"You? Who are you? And how do you know our specific situation? Zhang Guang said that word for word, Liu Bei suddenly became interested.

"In the fortune-telling industry, I am not a master, as for how I know about the three of you, I calculated it according to your Liu Xuande's numerology, Brother Xuande, you are a descendant of the Han family, so it is naturally easy to deduce."

"As for how to calculate, I can't tell you, but Brother Xuande's trip, there is a sentence, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"

"Just say it!"

Liu Bei is now looking forward to Zhang Guang saying more, this time he went to participate in the conquest of Dong Thief army jointly summoned by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and others, but Liu Bei did not receive an invitation, so he had no bottom in his heart!

"The three of you are three horsemen, there are no soldiers and horses, the eldest brother is a trader, the second brother is a house caretaker, and the third brother is a butcher.

"My eldest brother is the main room of the Han Dynasty, and this time the conquest of Dong Thief is to restore the Han Dynasty, and my eldest brother wants to participate!" Guan Yu said.

In Guan Yu's place, any decision made by his eldest brother Liu Xuande is right, not to mention three people and three riders, even if he lets one person ride over, he will come over the same.

"Then I want to ask the two, which of the eighteen town princes you believe in this expedition against Dong Thief really wants to restore the Han Dynasty? Who hasn't come here to grab territory? ”

"Junior Brother Zhang Guang, since you can see the situation of my three brothers clearly, do you have a good way to deal with it?" Liu Bei rolled up the three-foot white cloth and handed it back to Zhang Guang.

Liu Bei changed his name to Zhang Guang instead of continuing to call the shopkeeper, and Zhang Guang understood that Liu Bei had already regarded himself as a master who could be on an equal footing with the three of them.

"This, in business, Brother Xuande used to be a businessman, this?"

Zhang Guangyang raised the three-foot white cloth in his hand, waiting to get some money from you to spend, of course, he had to take the opportunity to negotiate the price first, although Liu Bei's three brothers estimated that they didn't have much money left, but they were definitely a little richer than their poor boy.

"Little brother Zhang Guang, even if you say it, if it's really a clever plan, Xuande will be rewarded!"

"Since Brother Xuande trusts him so much, I'll say it!" Zhang Guang told everything he knew.

"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both have wolf ambitions, but they are both short-sighted, so the three of them joining the alliance can't focus on their two brothers."

"Instead, it should be placed on Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, this person has great ambitions and powers, and he is good at looking at people, he will definitely be able to see the extraordinaryness of the three of you, and he will help you!"

"However, Cao Cao's purpose in helping you is just to recruit you into his account, which I think is feasible, but Brother Xuande, you will definitely not agree, because you are more ambitious than him."

"This time, all the princes gathered to denounce Dong Thief, Dong Thief must send the Xiliang Army to fight, and the first to fight is Hua Xiong, who is the third in combat power under Dong Zhuo, at that time, the three of you don't have to rush to battle."

"Why is that? If I go out to fight and behead Hua Xiong under the horse, I can get great military achievements, and my eldest brother can get the respect of all the princes, why not fight? Moreover, how did you know that the first person in the Xiliang Army to fight must be Huaxiong? Guan Yu was puzzled.

"Why is the main general of the Xiliang Army on this expedition Huaxiong? And why was he the first to play? Naturally, I have a way to calculate! ”

"The three of you, it's not that you don't go to war, but don't rush to fight, when they each send their generals to fight, and when they are all defeated, General Guan, you will fight and kill Huaxiong, and you will definitely receive better results."

"At that time, because no one can defeat Huaxiong, Yuan Shao will definitely give a heavy reward, at this time, General Guan can take the initiative to fight Huaxiong and win great feats for your brother!"

"One thing, I want to remind you that Yuan Shao's heavy reward must be cashed in before General Guan goes to war, otherwise, it will definitely be an empty word afterwards!"

"Yuan Shao will never lose his reputation for a little reward in order to please Dong, this matter, never!" Liu Bei didn't believe what Zhang Guang said, Yuan Shao would lose face with such a small bounty.

"How about we make a bet?"

"How to bet?"

"Afterwards, Yuan Shao will definitely not cash in the reward, and when you get a small amount of remnants and weak generals lent to you by Yuan Shao and others to be the princes of the Nineteenth Town, Yuan Shu will also use various excuses not to give you military rations, if all of them are approved by me, how about you give me half of the amount of Yuan Shao's reward?"

"What if you lose?" Guan Yu also wanted to see how amazing this fortune teller, who still looked very young, was.

"If you lose, nearly 100 catties of good wine in the back room are all yours!"

"Okay, I want all the good wine!"

When it came to good wine, Zhang Fei woke up, opened his mouth to ask for good wine, and was put out of the noodle restaurant by Guan Yu in a daze.

When Liu Bei left later, he left twenty gold on the table, Zhang Guang looked at him like that, he should have all his belongings, and felt that this Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were indeed strange people, and they could follow such a poor and white sour gentleman for a lifetime, and they could have no complaints.
