【Sneak out of Sioux House】

"Miss, let's go!" Lilac saw that Miss was going alone, and she couldn't let go of it, so she decided to go with Miss.

"Is there anyone out there now?" Su Xue carried her luggage and said in a low voice.

"The family members who patrol every day, let's be careful, they shouldn't find out!" Lilac said, leaning against the crack in the door.

"Have you put all the things you have piled up?" In order to be able to climb over the wall and get out, Su Xue asked Lilac to put some objects on a low wall in Su Mansion from time to time for the purpose of climbing over the wall.

"Don't worry, miss, I'll put it all away!"

"Take it!" Su Xue handed Lilac an object.

"What is this?" Lilac took it and asked curiously.

"Dagger, when you're out and about, for self-defense!" Su Xue put on her robe and said, "It's quite cold outside, you can wear more!" ”

"Miss, no, I've already worn a lot!" Lilac quietly opened the door at this time, and the two of them walked out of the room.

The two of them evaded the patrol of the family and came to the low wall, stepped on the object, and both climbed out of the wall.

"Oops~" After the clove flipped off, her body was not well controlled, causing her center of gravity to be unstable and she fell to the ground.

"Be careful, you're alright!" Su Xue hurriedly asked.

"I'm fine, miss, fortunately this wall is short, otherwise we wouldn't have set off yet, I wouldn't have been able to go, haha~"

"Shhh~ When is it, still have the heart to joke!" Su Xue hurriedly blocked Lilac's mouth with her hand, afraid that her voice would be heard.

"Miss, what shall we do now?" Lilac asked in a low voice.

"It's already the fifth watch, and it's almost dawn, let's go to the market now, buy some food on the road, and then find a carriage, let's go!" Su Xue put on her hat and took Lilac's hand, and the two of them walked towards the market.

"Miss, people who are trading in the bazaar have come one after another!" The two of them walked and watched the market, after all, they were not familiar with the market, where there were selling plates, where there was looking for carriages, these were very unfamiliar things to them.

"Are they all here to do business?" Su Xue looked left and right, and said, "I heard that Liu Bei is also engaged in trading, he should also go to the market at this time every day, right?" ”

"Miss, you are really in love with Liu Bei, and you don't leave Liu Bei!" Lilac grumbled.

"Look, there seems to be a carriage in front, you go and ask him if Zhuojun is going!" Su Xue ignored Lilac's complaint to Liu Bei, she pointed to the carriage parked on the side of the road in front of her and said.

"Okay, miss, go and ask!" Lilac trotted over.

Su Xue saw that a pastry shop had opened on the side of the road, so she walked over and asked, "Shopkeeper, are there any pastries for sale now?" ”

"Girl, I just opened the door, and I'm doing it now, if you want it, I guess you'll have to wait for a while!" The shopkeeper kneaded the flour diligently, dipped his hands in the water from time to time, and sprinkled some water on the dough.

Su Xue looked around, and only this one food store was open, so she said, "That store is in trouble, we have to hurry!" ”

"Okay, right away!" The store has significantly sped up at this point.

"Miss, he said he would go, but the road was a little far, and he said it would be more expensive!" Lilac trotted over at this time and said.

"Money is not a problem, just go, I'll wait here for the boss to make pastries, let's buy some and go!"

"Okay, then I'll go over and talk to that little brother and ask him to wait a little longer!"

"Well, you go!" After speaking, Su Xue turned around and said, "Shopkeeper, do you open so early every day?" ”

"It's like this every day, doing our job, there's no way, everything has to be prepared early, although it's dark now, but you see that there are already many people on the side of the road to set up stalls, you have to do business so early!" The shopkeeper is doing his work with his hands and feet.

"Then why don't you see the boss?" Su Xue looked at the store, and he was busy working alone.

"Hey~ Where did the proprietress come from, it's good to be able to earn a bowl of rice to eat, now whether it's doing business or arriving, it's not easy to do, the taxes levied by the state are high, where does the extra money come from to support the family, you look at the people in this bazaar, but if life is okay, they won't work so hard." The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly.

Su Xue didn't speak when she heard this, no matter whether the country was prosperous or survived, it was always the people who lived at the bottom of society who suffered.

"Come, little girl, your pastry is ready, I will call it to you!" Steaming sweets were set up on the stalls.

"Give me two pounds!"

"Okay, wait a minute!" The shopkeeper packed two catties of pastries and handed them to Su Xue: "It's a total of fifteen dollars here, come, be careful, you take it!" ”

"No need to look for it!" Su Xue took out a piece of gold and handed it to the shopkeeper, then turned around and left.

"Oh, this ...... The girl couldn't help it, the girl ......" Su Xue didn't look back, and walked straight to the carriage, leaving only the shopkeeper with a blank face, and he kept playing with the gold in his hand, a grain of gold that he had never seen before.

"Little brother, let's go!" Lilac helped Su Xue into the car and shouted at the little brother.

"How long will it take?" Su Xue opened the pastry in her hand: "Eat it while it's hot!" ”

"If the little brother says it quickly, it will take about half a month!" Lilac picked up a piece and put it in her mouth: "En~ It's delicious, Miss, your vision is really good!" ”

"Eat more if it's delicious, and we'll buy some more everywhere we go!" Su Xue ate the pastry and said, "You can also bring some for the little brother, it's not easy to catch the carriage on a cold day!" ”

"Okay!" Lilac held the paper package, opened the carriage door and said, "Little brother, come to a piece, I just bought it, eat it while it's hot!" ”

"Ouch, thank you, girl, thank you!" The little brother picked up a piece casually and said, "It's delicious, thank you!" ”

"Let's do it again!" Lilac said.

"No, no, one piece is enough, I've already eaten breakfast at home, you can eat it!" After speaking, the little brother picked up the reins and then drove the carriage: "You guys close the door, it's cold outside!" ”

"Okay, if you don't eat it, we won't care about you!" Lilac closed the door after speaking.

【Yellow Turban Uprising】

Zou Jing reported Zhang Jiao's rebellion to the county guard, and the county guard immediately reported the situation to the state assassin history, and the assassin history was urgent for 800 miles, and the news that Taiping Dao might rebel on the day of Jiazi was transmitted to Luoyang.

At the same time as this series of events occurred, Tang Zhou, a disciple sent by Zhang Jiao to Luoyang to contact the eunuchs, told the court because he was afraid of the imperial court, claiming that Zhang Jiao had sent people to write the word 'Jiazi' on the wall of the state and county mansions on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had sent Ma Yuanyi, a general of the Taiping Dao, to Jingzhou and Yangzhou to gather tens of thousands of people to Ye County, Jizhou to make preparations. Moreover, he also sent people to Luoyang several times to collude with the eunuchs Feng Xu and Xu Feng, wanting to cooperate with the inside and the outside. Emperor Liu Hong learned of this shocking secret, and immediately killed the eunuchs Feng Xu and Xu Feng, and then sent the Han army to vigorously arrest and kill the believers who believed in Taiping Tao in Luoyang, and punished more than 1,000 people, and ordered Jizhou to hunt down Zhang Jiao and his henchmen.

The incident happened suddenly, Zhang Jiao was forced to launch a rebellion in advance, because the rebels were dressed in yellow turbans, so they were called "yellow turban thieves" by the Han army, Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong" in the uprising, his two younger brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were "General Digong" and "General Rengong", the three brothers started an incident, they burned down the official mansion, killed the officials, robbed everywhere, in just one month, there was a war in 28 counties in seven states across the country, the Yellow Turban Army was like a bamboo, the state and county were lost, the officials fled, and the earthquake shook Kyoto.

Seeing that the scale of Taiping Road was so large, Liu Hong hurriedly appointed his uncle He Jin as the general, and led the five battalions of Yulin to stay in Duting to guard the Beijing Division; and set up garrisons at various passes in Kyoto; secondly, he accepted the advice of Fu Song, the Taishou Emperor of Beidi County, and Lu Qiang, the Zhongchang Servant, to lift the party and unite all the forces that could be united; At the same time, he also issued an edict to all localities to strictly guard against the Yellow Turban Thieves, and ordered all states and counties to train soldiers, gather rebels, and cooperate with the Central Army to suppress the Yellow Turban Thieves.

On this day, Liu Bei, as usual, came to the county early in the morning, and saw a notice posted on the city wall from a distance, the content of the notice roughly means that the Yellow Turban thieves rebelled, and Zhuo County wanted to recruit soldiers and horses to fight against the thieves. Liu Bei, who read the notice, immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, there are hundreds of thousands of believers in Taiping Dao, and it is worth it that so many people rebel at the same time.

He came to the county government in three steps and two steps, and saw Gongsun Chan instructing things from a distance. Gongsun Zhan saw Liu Bei coming at this time, so he dismissed everyone, and said with a sad face: "Brother Xian, you are here, you must know about the Taiping Dao rebellion, the county guard issued an order yesterday, requiring each county to hand over a team of soldiers and horses to the county, at present, the counties of Youzhou belong to Zhuo County, the situation is the most serious, Zhang Jiao's base camp is in Jizhou, and the border between Youzhou and Jizhou is Zhuo County. As the county commander of Zhuo County, I need to guard here, and I can't leave for a while, but I can't find a suitable person to recruit troops and lead them for a while, you see this thing......"

Liu Bei saw that Gongsun Zan looked at himself meaningfully after speaking, at this time he already knew what he meant, now that the Han Dynasty is in trouble, it is natural for the people of the Han Dynasty to share their worries for the country, and it is even more important for them to be the descendants of the Liu family. ”

"What a good brother for me." Gongsun Chan wants this sentence, even if Liu Bei doesn't come to him now, he will go to Liu Bei.

Gongsun Zhan is not a candidate, Yan Gang, Tian Kai, which is not a suitable candidate, but this time the Yellow Turban Thief is menacing, and Zhuo County is also more auspicious, if he sends out his capable generals, he will feel uneasy when he does things in the future; Second, if Liu Bei is not allowed to go, then what can he do if he stays at home, maybe he really learned a skill and has no way to serve the country, this time he sent him, not to mention whether it is more auspicious or less auspicious, how to say that it can be regarded as giving him a platform to display his talents, which will be given to him for the sake of his fellow brothers.

"The county commander, just recruiting troops and horses also requires funds and grain and grass, you see......" Since Gongsun Chan had agreed to Liu Bei as a government official to recruit troops and horses, Liu Bei immediately changed his words, no longer calling Gongsun Chan "Brother Bogui", but directly called "Lord County Commander".

Gongsun Zhan saw that Liu Bei's adaptability was quite strong at this time, and he was also happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "I can only provide you with a part of the funds and grain and grass, and the county's finances are also tight, I hope you can understand, maybe you can enlist the support of businessmen and let them provide you with financial help, of course, it is reasonable, you have to give them a part of the spoils, and do extraordinary things at extraordinary times, and now it can only be like this." ”

Liu Bei knew that Gongsun Zan was telling the truth, under the rotten rule of the Han Dynasty, the people had eaten the last meal but not the next meal, and in such a society, even if the government wanted to increase taxes, it would have no way to start, so it was normal for the finances to be tight. It's really difficult to get yourself to find the support of businessmen, they don't have family status or fame, why should they spend this money to support themselves for no reason.

"That's okay, Brother Bogui, the situation is urgent, then I'll go first!" After Liu Bei finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Xuande, wait, now that the country is facing life and death, our Zhuoxian County depends on you, please!" Gongsun Chan patted Liu Bei on the shoulder.

"Understood, Lord County Commander, Liu Bei promises to complete the task!" Liu Bei arched his hand and said.

"That's okay, I won't leave you for tea and dinner today, wait for you to repel the Yellow Turban Thief another day, and we'll have a good time!"

"Yes, then I'll go first!"

"Yes, go ahead!"

As soon as Liu Bei left Gongsun Zhan, he planned to pull Guan Yu and Zhang Fei into the team. He knew that it was impossible to persuade businessmen, recruit troops, lead troops to fight, and so on, and that many things could not be carried out without his own cronies in the army.

He first found Guan Yu and said that everyone had not gathered for a long time, so he came to Zhang Fei's house with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei saw that the two friends were coming, and immediately prepared wine and food to entertain the two. ”

Guan Yu nodded and said: "I saw it on the notice at the city gate this morning, the Yellow Turban Thieves are huge, the government said that the Yellow Turban Thieves are killing the people everywhere, robbing the states and counties, and not hiding the two, Guan Yu plans to join the army, as a big husband, when the country is in danger, you can't retreat." ”

Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu also had the idea of joining the army, so he breathed a deep sigh of relief and said: "Today, the county commander asked me to be in charge of the recruitment of troops and horses in the county, and I resolutely accepted it. After speaking, he looked at Zhang Fei meaningfully.

Zhang Fei was originally a man of temperament, and when he saw that Liu Bei and Guan Yu were ready to join the army, he slapped the table and said: "Since both of you have decided to go into battle to kill the enemy, add me Zhang Fei as well, hahaha......"

Liu Bei listened to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's statement, and was very happy in his heart. However, he has another purpose for this trip, that is, he plans to marry Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as brothers of the opposite sex, since he met Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he has been thinking about this problem, how to bring the relationship between people closer, not to marry children or to become righteous brothers. Seeing the wine after three rounds today, the opportunity must not be lost, and the time will not come, Liu Bei suddenly stood up, and said to Guan Yu Zhang Fei: "Yun Chang, Yide, Liu Bei has known the two for several years, and knows that the two are the heroes of the world who are affectionate and righteous, Liu Bei has the courage to propose to the two today, hoping to become brothers of the opposite sex with the two, and share wealth and wealth in the future, life and death, I don't know if the two are willing." ”

Guan Yu since he killed the bully, he fled from Hedong County, and met Liu Bei on the way to Youzhou, at that time he already felt that Liu Bei was an upright person who was brave and kind to others, and later he was chased by officers and soldiers on the street, it was Liu Bei who resolutely rushed out and rescued himself, and then surrendered with himself, what he did for himself, he remembered it in his heart, Liu Bei is a person who dares to act, has responsibility, is worthy of reliance and trust, since then, he has been convinced by Liu Bei; And Zhang Fei was originally a man of temperament, Liu Bei's heroic deeds of saving Guan Yu, the heart of helping the poor was kind, and he was a student of the great Confucian Lu Zhi, after being released from prison, Zhang Fei admired Liu Bei incomparably, at this time, seeing Liu Bei took the initiative to become a brother with himself, Guan Yu Zhang Fei couldn't ask for it, with such a brother, what more could he ask for in this life.

In 184 AD, Liu Guanzhang and the three of them hit it off in Zhuo County and became brothers with different surnames, Liu Bei was the eldest and was the eldest brother; Guan Yu is the second brother; Zhang Fei is the youngest, the third brother, Liu Guan and Zhang did not seek to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day and month of the same year, and began their road of hard work.
