"Please take a look." Zou Jing took out a roll of cloth, which seemed to be a portrait, and handed it to Liu He: "This person's surname is Guan Mingyu, the word cloud is long, and the word is immortal; He is a native of Xie County, Hedong County. ”

Liu He was stunned when he heard this: Guan Yunchang?!

"Zou Jun! What did this man do? Liu He stabilized his emotions and said slowly.

The official document on the east side of the river says that he is a bold person, revitalizing the poor and saving emergencies, not afraid of danger, fighting injustice, and saving many people. It's a righteous man! Zou Jing looked quite respectful in his words.

It turned out that Guan Yu was avenging his friend, so he was wanted. That Guan Yu's friend, whose father did not take revenge, happened to be seriously ill. When Guan Yu went to visit him, he cried bitterly and was very unwilling. said that his father was persecuted to death by the dirty officials in the county, his father's revenge was not avenged, and the family was thin, there were no brothers, only him, a man, I am afraid that after dying of illness, his father can only hate Jiuquan. According to the customs of the Han Dynasty, the enmity of parents, if there is a male in the family, the male will repay it, and if there is no male child, very few will be repaid by the daughter, and most of them will be repaid by the brothers, if there is no longer a brother, some will be repaid by the clansmen, and some will be entrusted to friends.

Guan Yu felt his filial piety, so he took revenge for him, but at this time his friend had died, Guan Yu cut off his enemy's head and put it in front of his tomb to pay tribute to him.

Liu He looked up at the crescent moon in the night sky: Guan Yu is conceited and brave, and his character is strong, just because he was born in a humble background, although he was famous in his hometown in his early years, he suffered from having no way to enter the office, and was forced to live at the bottom of the society all the year round, and was not allowed to climb high and raise his eyebrows. Cynical young man.

While being cynical, under the influence of the fashion of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, he is also a person who "values righteousness". For example, in the romance, he has an inherent evil feeling towards Cao Cao, but Cao Cao treats him as a national soldier, this is kindness, but he will not reciprocate it. It's one thing to hate someone, it's another thing to repay that person's kindness. In this regard, Guan Yu has clear grievances.

Liu He looked down at Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and thought in his heart:

Guan Yu is the general of the bear and tiger, with the courage of ten thousand people, non-Cao, Liu, Sun and other people can not use it, and Cao, Liu, and Sun, Cao Cao was born in the eunuch family, although Sun Jian is a Han clan, but he has a strong personality, and Guan Yu is not compatible, but Liu Bei, although he is a Han family, is no different from the Han family, and he is benevolent and tolerant, and only he can be close to Guan Yu.

But his appearance caused Liu Bei and Zhang Fei to go out ahead of schedule, and there was no Taoyuan righteousness, which was somewhat emotional. But along the way, Zhang Fei doesn't seem to be a bird Liu Bei, a straw shoe seller, and he respects himself quite a lot. Liu Bei was also easy-going, polite to everyone along the way, and did not become proud of Liu He's call of brother and brother.

Since it is impossible for the Taoyuan rebellion to happen now, Guan Yu appeared in Zhuojun again, isn't it providence?! Time also, luck also. If a person wants to achieve a career, it is still the old saying: ability and opportunity are indispensable.

Instead of letting Guan Yu Mingzhu be dusted or annihilated in this world, why not recruit it yourself?! Although Guan Yu dislikes the scholars of the Shi clan, he has clear grievances, if he pushes clothes and clothes and eats like Liu Bei, he must see the hearts of the people for a long time and can make him return to his heart.

After Liu He made up his mind, he asked Zou Jing: "This Guan Yunchang is a loyal and righteous man, since he is in Zhuo County, can you find clues?" ”

"Such heroes are afraid that they will have their own heroes to store and hide! It's not easy to go through Zhuo County. Zou Jing replied.

When everyone arrived at Zhang Fei's house, Liu He was an eye-opener, a local tyrant!

The manor of the Zhang family stands in a field of plaster, covering a wide area, no less than 100 acres. Under Zhang Fei's guidance, everyone got off the official road and turned to the road in the field. The road is not as wide as the official road, but it is not narrow, and it can accommodate two chariots in parallel. There are trees planted on both sides of the road, mostly elm and mulberry. The Zhang family's estate is divided into two parts. On the left is the countryside, on the right is the courtyard, three-way type. The dirt road in the field does not face the manor, but is a little more south of the manor, and then turns north to connect to the main entrance. By custom, the doors of the manor are mostly open to the south.

Outside the door, a few brown-clothed men stood with their hands in their hands, and when they saw Zhang Fei riding over, one of them greeted him.

There are two gates on the south side of the manor, one is the main gate, the hard mountain style gatehouse.

The brown-clothed man who greeted him said humbly: "Welcome the master of the family back at night." ”

Liu He and the others got off the horse and followed Zhang Fei into the door. There are cloisters on both sides of the gate, and the first thing you enter is the courtyard, the left side is the stable and the garage, and the right side is the earthen house built against the wall.

Liu He looked at the earthen house on the right as he walked. Tsuchiya is very basic. When it is cool in autumn, some people block the windows with loess, wood and other things, and it is conceivable that at night, there will be no light source at all, and the house will be as dark as ink. These earthen huts were to be for slaves and maidservants, vassals, and guests. In the corner of the wall on the right, on the edge of the earthen houses, there is a watchtower. When Liu He was on the road, he could see that it was higher than the gatehouse, which was used to guard against thieves.

Put the horse away and go into the second entry.

On both sides of the second gate are two opposing three-storey corner towers, the second of which communicates with the gatehouse of the second gate. The corner towers, which are also used for lookouts and thieves, have rectangular lookout windows on their four walls. It can be seen from afar, and it can also shoot arrows and crossbows from it. It can be seen that there are indeed people in the army on the ancestor of the Zhang family, and if there are thieves in this kind of arrangement, even if the main gate cannot be blocked, there are two doors that can be resisted.

The second courtyard is connected to each other, and in the middle is a four-story building, three or four feet high, and there are verandas on the outside of each floor. This building is the tallest building in the park. On the edge of the pavilion are planted large mulberry trees, more than a dozen, if it is in summer, it will be very shady. However, Liu He can guess that the reason why the Zhang family planted these mulberry trees is not for the sake of enjoying the cool in summer, but should be related to the "economic value" of mulberry trees. Mulberry leaves can raise silkworms, mulberries can also be eaten,—— when the green and yellow are not harvested, the poor people rely on this thing and elm money to survive.

With the wealth of the Zhang family, but they are still planting these two types of trees in the courtyard and on the way here, Liu Hexin said: "Zhang Fei is really a person who is thick and fine. ”

There is a lobby in front of the building, which is a place to meet guests.

At this time, a servant girl greeted her, and Zhang Fei instructed, "Distinguished guests are here, serve the soup quickly." ”

After a cup of tea, Zhang Fei spoke: "Lord! Gentlemen. Tomorrow, I will recruit village warriors, can I have a plan? ”

"Yide Manor, Xiaohao's home, must be armed, why don't you lead me to take a look for reference." Liu Hedao.

"No!" Zhang Fei turned around and walked straight out of the hall: "All the gentlemen come to the backyard with me." ”

Then they went into the backyard. Compared to the previous side, the backyard is a little dirty. On the right is a pigsty, a cowpen, a chicken coop, and next to it is a toilet. In the middle was the kitchen, and the kitchen door was open, and two maids in their thirties and forties were busy working inside.

Zhang Fei took them along the stone road by the door and came to the left.

In front of the left is an open field, paved with fine sand, with arrow targets, and two weapon racks on one side.

Zhang Fei said: "The knives are all produced in Shuzhong, and they are made of steel knives. The crossbows are made by Chen Guo, and they are all good products......"

"Chen Guo", that is, the area of Zhoukou, Henan Province.

Liu Bei said: "The sharpness of the Shu knife is known to the world, of course, it is excellent. ”

Zhang Fei turned around and pointed to the front yard and the middle yard, and said: "These knives and crossbows are only a part of my family's hidden soldiers. ”

Turning around again, Zhang Fei pointed forward again and said: "This is my family's warehouse, when it is full, it can store thousands of stones of grain, which is enough for the people in my village to eat for more than a year." ”

The warehouse building is at the back of the left, next to the site, and there are two in total, three stories high.

"Please come with me." Zhang Fei strode and led everyone to the right side of the courtyard.

There was a door on the right, closed, and he motioned for the slave to push it open. Behind the door is a large vegetable garden with neat furrows and channels for watering. Further ahead of the vegetable garden is an orchard, planted with pear, jujube, bayberry and other trees. Outside the orchard is the wall of Zhuangzi.

"The grain can be eaten by the people in the village for more than a year, and if you add vegetables and fruits, it can be said that you can eat enough to strengthen the army. I have good knives, strong crossbows, warriors, strong slaves, stored grain, fruits and vegetables, and I can recruit ...... tomorrow."

Just as Zhang Fei was about to ask a question after introducing the armament, a guy ran over: "Master, it's not good!" At the front door, there was a man selling dates and Zhang Yiyi. ”

"Who is so domineering!" Zhang Fei was furious.
