Cheng Li was by Guo Peng's side at that time to sort out these prayer posts for him, and when he saw Guo Peng looking at the worship posts in his hand, he asked.

"Lord, whose prayer is this?"

"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, a native of Zhuo County, Zhuo County, my teacher, one of Lu Gong's disciples when he was teaching in Zhuo County Xue Palace."

"How can such a thing happen?"

Cheng Li was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It seems that the lord's reputation has increased greatly, and it is natural for him to come to visit a little old man, this Liu Bei should want to rely on this relationship to have a position in the army, right?" What does the lord think? ”

Guo Peng put down the greeting post and said with a smile: "The senior brother of the same sect came to visit, how can he not treat each other politely?" Zhongde, help me make arrangements, I will meet my senior brother in the county seat. ”

"Yes."

Cheng Li received the order.

So Guo Peng chose the tall and burly Xiahoudun to greet Liu Bei with him.

In fact, Liu Bei had already come to Ning County, and after arriving in Ning County, he saw the endless flow of people, and felt surprised.

He didn't come alone, but brought a group of people who had followed him from his hometown and were willing to continue to follow him.

There are hometown children and rangers in this group, all of whom admire Liu Bei's fame, so they follow Liu Bei.

In other words, this Liu Bei is not a simple character, he was one of the best tide men in his hometown when he was a child.

He doesn't like to read, he likes dogs and horses, he likes beautiful clothes, beautiful food and good music, he leads the fashion, and he is a man of the year in his hometown.

Later, because he got acquainted with wealthy businessmen Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, he conquered them with his charm and mouth, and got their funding.

coincided with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Bei took advantage of the situation and formed a team that has always belonged to him, which is not many in number, but it is also an armed force.

In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Bei led 500 soldiers from his hometown to become volunteers, and fought against the Youzhou Yellow Turban Army, and he had merit, but for a while, his merit had not been rewarded by the imperial court.

Some people felt that they couldn't see the future and said goodbye to Liu Bei and left, while others felt that Liu Bei was extraordinary and insisted on following Liu Bei and following him to the north and south.

Among them are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well as Jian Yong, they are all Liu Bei's subordinates, with Liu Bei as the mainstay, following him around, like brothers.

This time Liu Bei came to seek refuge with Guo Peng, which was suggested by Jian Yong.

Originally, Liu Bei was thinking about whether to go to his former classmate Zhuoxian County Linggong Sun Zan in the midst of difficulties, but Jian Yong gave him a better proposal.

Jian Yong said that compared with the unknown Gongsun Zhan, Guo Peng was made a marquis, famous all over the world, and was recruiting soldiers and horses to train in case Xianbei came to attack, and this was the time to seek talent.

Liu Bei has no way in the court, so it is better to try to take refuge in Guo Peng, and with the people and horses he brought over, maybe he can mix up a military position, make some military achievements, and make a career, which is not bad.

Liu Bei thought so.

So Liu Bei, under the guidance of Jian Yong, wrote a letter of worship and handed it to Guo Peng, wanting to get a better position, and he was worthy of the old brothers who followed him to the north and south, and the old brothers also had to eat, and it was not okay to follow him if he had no food.

Moreover, Liu Bei has also won battles, has experience in commanding troops, and thinks that he still has an advantage.

Then he really had an advantage, Guo Peng actually led someone to greet him at the gate of the mansion, and after seeing him, he held his hand very enthusiastically and pulled him into the mansion together.

"In the past, when I studied under the teacher, the teacher mentioned the senior brother, and also mentioned the senior brother of Gongsun Bogui, I have heard it for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary......

Whether it's a boast or not, anyway, Guo Peng pursues such a principle of treating people and things, no matter who he is, as long as he can boast, it is a boast, which is much better than not saying anything.

Liu Bei himself was a little embarrassed, and Jian Yong, who was following Liu Bei, of course felt embarrassed, but he didn't expect Guo Peng to be so enthusiastic.

led Liu Bei and Jian Yong into the living room to sit at the table, Guo Peng began to talk to Liu Bei about Lu Zhi, and also asked Liu Bei about Lu Zhi teaching them to read, and asked about Gongsun Zhan's situation, and learned that Gongsun Chan was making a county order in Zhuo County.

Then Liu Bei came to introduce his past, saying that after he was King Jing of Zhongshan, his family was ruined, his childhood was miserable, etc., he was really sorry for his ancestors, sorry for his parents, and so on.

After the clan, it is not a thing worth caring about at this time, there are thousands of surnames Liu in the world, and there are everywhere in the world after the clan, not to mention Liu Bei, who is so far away that he doesn't know how many generations.

After Liu Bei took the clan, he said that his identity was just a self-proclaimed value, and this identity was very attractive to the people at the bottom, but it was not attractive to the middle and upper class powerful landlords and bureaucrats at all, so he just listened to it.

Because in the troubled times, it has reached a certain level, and everyone values the current strength more than his so-called ancestors.

After that, we got to the point.

"Don't hide it from Senior Brother, I am indeed very short of manpower here now, if Senior Brother does not give up, would you like to come to my camp to serve?"

Guo Peng didn't let Liu Bei speak, but let him speak by himself, Liu Bei was very surprised, he didn't expect that he didn't say a word, but actually asked Guo Peng to finish everything he wanted to say.

"This ...... It won't bother Zifeng, right? ”

Liu Bei's face was happy, and his joy could not be concealed, but he still had to be polite.

"How so? My brother and his subordinates have been on the battlefield, can ride horses, and have experience in battle formations, so they are the strong men I desperately need! It's just that I'm also a captain of the Guardian Karasuma myself, and I can't give my senior brother too high a military position, so I can only wronged my senior brother to be a military marquis. ”

Guo Peng looked very regretful, and Liu Bei was even more surprised, thinking that he was going to start from a small army leader, but he didn't expect to be a military marquis when he came up, and he was still a formal position.

In this way, he officially bid farewell to the identity of the rebel army and entered the bureaucratic system of the Han Empire.

Liu Bei was very happy, thanked Guo Peng, and said that he would definitely do his best to lead the troops to make meritorious contributions.

"Lord, Liu Xuande gave him the position of Qu Junhou when he first arrived, isn't it a bit too high?"

Looking at the backs of Liu Bei and Jian Yong leaving, Cheng Li leaned over to Guo Peng and whispered: "In this way, I am afraid that it will make other people who have made military achievements dissatisfied." ”

"Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, can be a military marquis."

Guo Peng narrowed his eyes: "Zhongde, nominally he is my senior brother, it is reasonable, he comes to me, I have to give him some face, I can't let others say that I treat my fellow disciples harshly, but this person is not simple, you have to help me keep an eye on him, what does he do, you have to tell me." ”

"Huh?"

Cheng Li felt strange: "Why did the lord say this? He is just a rebel and is from a Han family. ”

"The righteous army, the Han family, has no long things, no official position, can only choose to take refuge in others, but can get dozens of people to follow him, Zhongde, over time, if he has an official position, status, and money, guess what?"

Cheng Li looked at Guo Peng and seemed to understand something.

In a short conversation, Guo Peng was sure that this person was not a person who was willing to be subordinate?

But if you think about it, it's a skill, right?

"What the lord said, I immediately knew."

Cheng Li became interested in Liu Bei, and planned to observe Liu Bei and the people around him according to Guo Peng's instructions.
