Chapter 388: Happiness and Sorrow
Liu Bei was also dancing.
Evacuated from Xiao County in embarrassment, his life was once very dark, and he always felt that he was still stuck that night, and desperate screams sounded in his ears from time to time, faintly, sometimes like a wife, sometimes like a young son, and sometimes like an acquaintance.
But such days passed quickly, and after entering Yanzhou, he met Yuan Yi, the Taishou of Shanyang, and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei. Compared with more than half a month ago, Yuan Yu has changed a lot, and he is even more embarrassed than Liu Bei. He was frightened by the Yellow Turbans, who were like locusts in earthy yellow turbans, and wherever they went, they ate everything they could eat, sometimes even gnawed human bones.
Yuan Yi has read many books, but none of them can allow him to cope with such a situation, and seeing Liu Bei, he is like seeing a savior.
Bao Xin is not as weak as Yuan Yi, he is powerful and strong by nature. He and Liu Bei are old acquaintances, so there is nothing polite, so he is asked to temporarily act as the prime minister of the city. The previous Ren Cheng Prime Minister Zheng Sui was killed by the Yellow Turban Army, and the Ren Cheng County soldiers are now leaderless, and Liu Bei is in charge.
Liu Bei knew that the Yanzhou Thorn History was not so easy to get, so he had to show his value first. With the old army of more than 700 people left as the backbone, and the remnants of more than 1,000 cities and counties as the auxiliary, he fought fiercely and fought fiercely with the Yellow Turbans many times. Last year, he rushed to Beihai, he fought against the Yellow Turban Army, from Guan Hai, Zhang Rao to ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers were a little jealous of him, especially when he saw Guan Yu, who was nine feet tall, he often retreated quickly after a little contact.
After a few battles, Liu Bei proved his ability, and there were more and more soldiers under him, and Bao Xin and others respected him more and more. Today, Yuan Shao's appointment letter has arrived, and he has become the assassin of Yanzhou.
Although it was Yanzhou Thorn History instead of Yanzhou Mu, Liu Bei was already very satisfied. He started the army in the first year of Zhongping, and it has been the ninth year of the conquest now, and he has finally become the assassin of Yanzhou. And Shan Jing, who was signed by Gongsun Zhan as the assassin of Yanzhou, did not know where to flee. Along with the letter of appointment came the news of Yuan Shao's defeat of Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Chan suffered a heavy blow at the Jieqiao, losing nearly half of his losses, and Yan Gang was killed in battle, and had retreated into the Hejian Kingdom.
When he heard the news, Liu Bei was both happy and worried. I am happy that I was wise, foresaw the defeat of Gongsun Zhan, and left Gongsun Chan in time, switched to Yuan Shao, and stood on the side of the winner. The worry is that Youzhou is still under the control of Gongsun Zhan, and his widowed mother is likely to be retaliated against. Even if Gongsun Chan doesn't retaliate, it is impossible to be taken care of by him. He is like this, and so is Zhang Fei and Jian Yong. Although Gongsun Chan was defeated, his strength still existed and he was still in Jizhou. Judging from the position where he retreated, he should still want to go south and unite with Tian Kai.
The crisis has not yet been resolved, but at least we can enjoy it for the time being.
Although Liu Bei is from an average background, he is not a frugal person, he likes fine wine, likes beauties, likes good horses and dogs, when he has no chance to enjoy, he can only endure it, and now that he has the opportunity to enjoy, he naturally wants to enjoy it to the fullest.
Youzhou is bitter, where is Yanzhou so rich. Zhang Fei's family is also considered to have a small fortune, but compared with Yanzhou people, it is too shabby. As for the Liu family, it can't be compared. No wonder so many people think of the Central Plains, the Central Plains is so good, who doesn't want to come. In the bitter cold land of Youzhou, you can't even be self-sufficient, and you have to cut 200 million yuan from Qingxu every year to cope.
Liu Bei was very excited, drank a little too much, and danced a little presumptuously, even if no one accepted his invitation, he could only dance solo.
Bao Xin's face was calm, a little displeased. He and Liu Bei have been fighting side by side for a long time, and it is the first time they have seen Liu Bei lose his temper like this. The usual resolute, resolute, humble and courteous Liu Bei is gone, and now it is an ugly Liu Bei who is dancing wildly.
Is it appropriate for such a person to do Yanzhou Thorn History?
"Don't drink! If you don't drink it, you don't drink it! There was a snort from the side, with impatience and anger.
Liu Bei stopped and turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from. Bao Xin also turned his head to look, secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly got up and rushed over.
Zhang Fei stood in front of Bian Rang, his face was flushed, the corners of his eyes twitched, and his chest was even more wet with a wine stain, and the wine glass fell to the ground. Bian Rang was furious, got up, flicked his sleeves, and strode out the door. Bao Xin rushed over, stopped Bian Rang, and persuaded in a low voice. Bian Rang didn't appreciate it and scolded loudly.
"Anything, I don't look at my identity, I don't know what to say. I am a handsome and heroic man in Yanzhou, how can I be led by such a despicable martial artist. Bao Yuncheng, next time you dare to invite me to such a banquet, don't blame me for scolding you. ”
"Wait." Liu Bei walked over, raising his face and spewing wine. "Who do you say is a despicable martial artist?"
"I'm talking about you." Bian Rang did not show weakness, and his eyes widened wider than Liu Bei.
"Say it again!" Liu Bei reached out and grabbed the scabbard at his waist, slowly pulled out the long knife, and was about to put it on Bian Rang's neck. Bao Xin lowered his face and shouted: "Liu Yuanjun, don't be rude." Bian Wenli is my Yanzhou celebrity, do you want to be my Yanzhou scholar's enemy? ”
Zhang Fei also rushed over and hugged Liu Bei. "Envoy, by all means."
Liu Bei was drunk by Bao Xin, came to his senses a little, and withdrew the long knife in a daze. Bian Rang sneered contemptuously, broke free from Bao Xin, and went out, and a waiter came up to put on his shoes. He didn't even look at Liu Bei, and walked away. When the other guests saw it, they also left the table one after another, and in a blink of an eye, they were gone, leaving only Bao Xin and Liu Bei's own subordinates.
Liu Bei turned around and looked, and the excitement brought by the Yanzhou Assassin was swept away. He saw that the people of Yanzhou only needed him to fight, but they would not recognize him, let alone respect him as the assassin of Yanzhou. In their eyes, he is a martial artist.
"Yide, let go." Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei's arm whimsically.
Zhang Fei let go of Liu Bei's arm, looked at the mess of the case, and sighed, even more depressed than Liu Bei. When he was in Pingyuan County, he had heard of Bian Rang - Bian Rang was as famous as Tao Qiuhong, a famous man in the Plains, and Kong Rong, the prime minister of the Beihai Sea, and after saving Kong Rong, Kong Rong invited him to drink and mentioned Bian Rang. This time, I wanted to be close to Bian Rang, but I didn't expect to touch a gray nose.
Guan Yu sat still and didn't move, slowly tasting the wine, Danfeng's eyes narrowed a slit. The injuries he suffered in Xiao County were not all healed, he couldn't drink a lot, he could only drink, but fortunately, he didn't respect others, and others didn't respect him, so he was happy to pour himself drinks. He was very disdainful of Zhang Fei toasting everywhere, and when he saw Zhang Fei deflated, he was somewhat gloating, and his thick hair couldn't stop the sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Liu Bei saw it in his eyes, and became even more upset, turned around and kicked over the table full of cups and plates. When Bao Xin saw it, he stopped talking. He lowered his head and thought for a moment. said: "Xuande, the alliance leader won the first victory, Jizhou is basically stable, you send his family back, and meet the alliance leader by the way." ”
Liu Bei rolled his eyes and nodded. He clashed with Yanzhou celebrities, and also drew a knife, a little unable to wipe off face in a short period of time, taking this opportunity to go to Yanzhou, to meet Yuan Shao, is indeed a good idea.
"Thank you Yuncheng. Just now, I was proud for a while, and I lost my words a lot, so I asked Yuncheng to convey my apologies on my behalf. ”
Bao Xin nodded, and reminded: "Xuande, you are already old, and you can't be without a queen." My wife has been lost for so long, I'm afraid it's more than lucky, it's better to ...... Marry another. I have many virtuous women in Yanzhou, if you are interested, I will pay attention to one or two for you. ”
Liu Bei was overjoyed. "There is Lao Yuncheng."
Guan Yu snorted again, looking disdainful. Liu Bei was embarrassed, so he had to pretend not to see it.
