A.D. month.

Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao broke out in the Battle of the Boundary Bridge.

In this battle, Yuan Shao defeated and forced Gongsun Zan to death, pacified Youzhou in one fell swoop, and immediately added a large state to the territory under his jurisdiction, and his strength skyrocketed.

Originally, although Gongsun Chan was at a disadvantage,

But with the white horse in his hand and the elite soldiers of Youzhou,

It's not too bad.

But I didn't expect that in just ten days,

Gongsun Chan was defeated,

The world was amazed.

On the eve of the decisive battle between the two sides,

Gongsun Zhan's fellow disciple Liu Bei,

But he disappeared without a trace.

Time back to the eve of the Battle of the Boundary Bridge,

Next to the camp of Gongsun Chanpanhe,

There was a separate tent,

This is where Liu Bei's subordinates are.

Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan are both disciples of Lu Zhi.

Liu Bei is good at making friends with people,

Gongsun Chan treated him with great courtesy,

not only allocated him soldiers and horses to be freely deployed,

And also give him as much freedom as possible,

It has become a very special existence in the Gongsun Chan army.

In Liu Bei's big tent,

A charcoal fire burns brightly,

Liu Bei sat around the fire,

Sitting next to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei,

And a young scribe,

Lean casually on top of a soft collapse.

In the light of the fire,

Liu Bei's face was a little solemn.

"Xianhe, have you heard clearly?"

This person who was made Xianhe by Liu Bei,

His real name is Jian Yong, the word Xianhe, and he is from Zhuo County.

The original surname was Geng, and the people of Youzhou said Geng as Jane,

Later, he changed his surname to Jane.

I met Liu Bei when I was young,

The two have a very close relationship,

He is good at debating and deliberating,

The temperament is simple and direct, never informal,

Even when he was with Liu Bei,

and disregard for prestige, and act at will.

Pick up the water wine in front of you,

took a sip gently,

Then he replied without hesitation:

"My lord, I have seen this with my own eyes, and there will be no falsehood."

"Shhh

The face became more ugly,

"I didn't expect that Yuan Shao would take out such a big killing weapon, then Bo Gui would be in danger."

Zhang Fei interjected next to him:

"Big brother, I'm afraid that he will do something, isn't it just some Rausch crossbows. Let's tell Gongsun Chan early that after taking precautions, we can't turn defeat into victory. ”

Guan Yu gently stroked the hair under the chin,

Danfeng's eyes opened and closed slightly,

Glancing at Zhang Feidao:

"Don't say too much about Yide, the eldest brother has his own measure."

Although Zhang Fei is reckless,

But he listened very much to the words of the two brothers,

After hearing Guan Yu's words,

looked up at Liu Bei, who was silent,

Stretching out his hand and scooping up a large piece of venison,

and he will not speak again.

Liu Bei frowned and stared at the flames in the furnace,

I didn't say a word for a long time.

After a long time,

When even Guan Yu couldn't help but want to ask,

Liu Bei's somewhat hoarse voice suddenly sounded:

"Xianhe, where is Yuan Shao's envoy now?"

When everyone heard Liu Bei's words, their expressions were different,

A look of joy appeared on Jian Yong's face,

Zhang Fei stared at the ring of eyes and was about to speak, but was stopped by Guan Yu with a look,

Guan Yu stretched out his hand to stroke his long hair,

Before Jian Yong opened his mouth to answer, he asked:

"Big brother, do you really want to do that?"

While Guan Yu was asking,

Looking at Liu Bei with burning eyes,

There seemed to be a stern look in his eyes.

At this time, Liu Bei turned his head sideways,

As if he didn't dare to look at Guan Yu's eyes,

"Yun Chang, it's not for his brother to be unjust, it's really Bo Gui's perverse behavior, causing the righteousness of his family and country to be disregarded, and he can only kill his relatives for his brother."

Guan Yu kept silent,

Even the pair of Danfeng eyes closed slightly,

It's like an old monk in a state of mind.

On Liu Bei's fair face,

Gradually, a flush emerged.

For Liu Bei,

It is rare for such a true emotion to be revealed.

It's just that at this moment you are facing the closest,

At the same time, he is also the person who knows him best,

Uttered words against his will,

That's when the embarrassment was revealed.

opened his mouth,

Liu Bei also wanted to explain,

But seeing Guan Yu's appearance like an old monk in a fixed state,

The words that came to his lips had to be swallowed back.

Jian Yong saw clearly the somewhat embarrassing situation in the house,

He cleared his throat and spoke:

"Second general, the lord is really unavoidable. After we joined Gongsun Zhan, although he was respectful to the lord on the surface. But in fact, we all know that he just thinks of us as sharp blades in his hands. ”

Guan Yu didn't dare to be presumptuous about Liu Bei,

But the others were not looked upon by him,

After hearing Jian Yong's words,

Snorted coldly: "It's a good word." ”

"Cloud Chief!" Liu Bei reprimanded with some anger.

Guan Yu stopped talking when he heard this,

The eyes closed again.

Liu Bei glanced at Jian Yong apologetically,

The latter smiled and waved his hand,

It means that it doesn't care.

For the temperament of Liu Bei and his three brothers,

Jian Yong has already felt it clearly,

Zhang Fei is a reckless man, straightforward and fast-talking,

Although the surface is rough,

But in fact, he is also a very intelligent person.

It's just that there are a lot of things that I don't bother to think about.

Although Guan Yu is upright,

But in terms of acting, he is a little feminine and self-serving,

However, the person's biggest advantage or disadvantage can also be said to be,

is too loyal,

For Liu Bei, who is close to blind obedience,

Although sometimes I know that Liu Bei's approach is not appropriate,

Even he was a little opposed,

But he will definitely do what Liu Bei tells him to do.

As for the eldest of the three, Liu Bei,

But it's a real hero,

Although now down,

But this person has a unique vision and is good at forbearance,

And very able to win people's hearts,

This is also the reason why Jian Yong followed him with all his heart.

Jian Yong glanced at Liu Bei,

Again, he said:

"The second general is not in a hurry. Listen to me. If what Yong said is fallacious, it is not too late for the second general to refute it. ”

Guan Yu opened his eyes and looked at Jian Yong,

Then he narrowed his eyes slightly,

seemed to be waiting for Jian Yong's words.

Jian Yong didn't care,

Stood up and paced slowly in the room,

"I want the lord to form a righteous alliance with the two generals Taoyuan, aiming to crusade against the Yellow Turban Kuangfu Han Dynasty. Why can't I hear clearly, so although we have made great contributions to pacifying the Yellow Turban, we have never had a place to stay. ”

Hearing Jian Yong talk about the past,

Liu Guanzhang and the three of them couldn't help but think about the past years.

After remembering the pacification of the yellow scarf,

Liu Bei has made many military exploits in the process of exterminating the Yellow Turban,

and later Zhang Chun also made meritorious contributions during the rebellion,

He was named the county lieutenant of Anxi County.

I never thought that just because I didn't honor the postmaster at that time,

but they will be removed from office,

This caused Zhang Fei to get drunk and whip and beat the post supervisor to death.

After the three brothers absconded in fear of crime,

After several tosses, but it has never been successful,

Thinking of this,

I couldn't help but sigh at each other.

Jian Yong saw the expressions of the three people,

Then he continued:

"The lord then defected to Gongsun Zhan, who had a friendship with the same family. After the lord came to Youzhou, he was listed as Sima of other departments by Gongsun Bogui, but in the following years, he first pacified the Wuhuan bandits several times, then crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and then conquered Liu Yu. has made great achievements, it can be said that if there is no lord and two generals, his grandson Zhanyan can have today? ”

Jian Yong said here again,

looked at the expressions of the three people.

Liu Bei's face was expressionless, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly,

As for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei,

There was a faint look of anger on his face.

Jian Yong nodded secretly,

Then he spoke:

Although Gongsun Chan was courteous to the lord at this time, he allowed the lord to take charge of an army alone, and named the lord the commander of Fangcheng County. However, the top-down officials in Fangcheng County are all Gongsun Zhan's cronies, and they are called to assist the lord, but in fact they are surveillance constraints. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei was already clenching his silver teeth,

A pair of huge fists clenched in one place.

Guan Yu's face was also gloomy,

Although Jian Yong's words are a little biased,

But it is generally the same as the truth.

Liu Bei has also been observing the expressions of the two righteous brothers,

Although he himself was expressionless,

But at this time, my heart was already happy.

Although Gongsun Chan treats him well,

But Liu Bei could clearly feel that

Gongsun Chan actually has reservations about him,

This made Liu Bei very awkward.

In fact, Liu Bei has great ambitions,

Gongsun Chan also knows the reason why he is estranged,

Because Gongsun Chan has been a classmate with him for a few years after all,

also knows Liu Bei quite well,

Knowing that Liu Bei will not be willing to be subordinated to others,

Therefore, Gongsun Zhan had reservations about Liu Bei.

However, the more so,

Liu Bei felt that it was difficult to perform,

I have long planned to leave Gongsun Zhan,

It's just that I haven't had the right opportunity.

This time Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle with Gongsun Zhan,

Instead, it gave Liu Bei a great opportunity to know,

In the past, when he crusaded against Dong Zhuo,

Although Yuan Shao looked down on Liu Bei and others from humble backgrounds,

But also because of the strong force of the three brothers,

And there was a deep impression on the three of them.

This is before the war,

sent someone to contact Liu Bei,

wants to plot against Liu Bei,

The two sides hit it off,

Liu Bei sent Jian Yong to Yuan Shao's army to contact him.

and brought back Yuan Shao's messenger,

That's where today's scene came about.

"Gongsun Chan is benevolent and righteous to the lord on the surface, but in fact, he is guarding against the lord everywhere, and at the same time using the lord and the two generals to become a tool for him to realize his ambitions. Don't the two generals understand this? ”

After saying this, Jian Yong looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with burning eyes.

Guan Yu's face was dark, and a pair of Danfeng eyes flowed from time to time.

Zhang Fei sat in place,

Grunting and gasping.

Liu Bei cast an approving look at Jian Yong without a trace,

Stretched out his hand to hold Guan Yu and Zhang Fei beside him,

Slowly opened his mouth and said sincerely:

"Two good brothers. Although I hate to admit it, it is true. There are many things that I didn't tell the two virtuous brothers before, but I was afraid that you would be worthless for me, and even turned against Gongsun Zhan. Alas——! ”

Speaking of which, Liu Bei's eyes even moistened,

There were faint tears that seemed to be flashing.

"Big brother......" Guan Yu opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak.

Liu Bei stretched out his hand to stop Guan Yu and said:

"Second brother, if you are not a brother, in fact, Bo Gui is not the master. Although Gongsun Zhan guarded Youzhou, he was brutal and killed countless people. And he has no loyalty to the imperial court, otherwise how could he kill Lord Liu Yu, who is a royal clan, because of different political views? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei paused,

looked left and right at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei,

Then he spoke:

"Do you remember? You and I are three brothers, when Taoyuan was righteous, they were determined to support the Han family and serve the imperial court. But what Gongsun Chan is doing now, which point is for the sake of the Han? In such an act, how can the three brothers and us help to commit abuse? ”

Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's expressions eased,

It seems that Liu Bei's words have an effect,

Jian Yong hurriedly added:

"Yuan Shao was born in a prestigious family, the Yuan family of Runan, the third prince of the fourth generation, and his disciples are all over the world. Yuan Shaochu won the public with his heroics, and then he had the plan of hegemony, and the people who won the army and raised the flag in the world did not pretend to be famous. and to fight the enemy on the spot, then the fierce man fights for his life; If you are deeply discussed, you will be attracted by wise men. Sheng, its capital also. Shao outside the wide and elegant has a degree, the joy and sorrow are invisible, Shao Zi Hongya, the table is also the elderly. Dominate outside the river and be good at strengthening Southern Xia. Yu Li Han Xiang, Yuntun Ji Horse. ”

The three of them nodded secretly,

Jian Yong then opened his mouth and continued to add:

"At this moment, the decisive battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan is imminent, if we go there it is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, Yuan Shao will definitely reuse the lord, it is better than being idle here."

Liu Bei suddenly said at this time:

What Xianhe said was wrong. I, Liu Xuande, am a person who covets glory, but he Yuan originally had the world in mind and was determined to revive the Han family, so I wanted to help him. If Xianhe thinks that I am going for the sake of high officials, I, I ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei seemed to be indescribably aggrieved.

Jian Yong hurriedly apologized.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei also played a round game,

This made Liu Bei stop.

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei's performance of true feelings,

But in my heart I sighed gloomily,

Whispered:

"Eldest brother, I really don't know what the eldest brother has suffered before, and this is my brother's sin. No matter what the eldest brother chooses, both of us will fully support it. ”

Hearing Guan Yu's words,

Liu Bei's eyes lit up,

But he soon faded away from that joy.

Jian Yong hurriedly said at this time:

"My lord, then I will go and bring Yuan Shao's messenger here."

Liu Bei nodded,

Motioned for Jian Yong to quickly contact.

After Jian Yong left the military tent,

Guan Yu spoke again and said:

"Big brother, it's not trivial to leave here, and you must be fully prepared. At the same time, we also need to beware of Yuan Shao, and we must not repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

Liu Bei's heart warmed when he heard this,

He also knew that Fang Cai's words might be believed by Zhang Fei,

But Guan Yu must have doubts in his heart,

However, Guan Yu expressed support for his decision,

And then he reminded him,

Such a friendship really touched Liu Bei's heart.

Nodding, Liu Bei Wenyan spoke,

A pun on the words:

"Second brother, you have really suffered for your brother, and you have suffered too many grievances."

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes narrowed,

He naturally understood another layer of meaning in Liu Bei's words,

At the moment, I sighed again in my heart,

Just wanted to speak,

But I heard Zhang Fei next to him open his mouth at this time:

"Big brother, when you say this, you're out of sight. The three of us brothers are not separated from each other! ”

Guan Yu's heart moved,

glanced at Zhang Fei,

Opened a smile and smiled:

"The third brother is right! The three of us brothers are not separated from each other! ”
