Youzhou Army, barracks.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gongsun Zhan sat in the camp tent angrily, his face was gloomy, and the cold light flashed in his eyes. At the bottom of the tent, the military generals under the command of Gongsun Chan gathered, and among these generals, there was a young man wearing armor, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dignified appearance. This man is about in his early twenties, with a white face and beard, a resolute expression, and an extraordinary bearing.

Gongsun Zhan sat above and said in a deep voice: "Come on, please Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei." ”

The young man raised his eyebrows, and his face showed surprise.

Listening to the tone, something is very wrong.

Not long after, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to the camp tent. Liu Bei's three brothers bowed and saluted, and Liu Bei saw the coldness on Gongsun Zhan's face, and he already knew what was going on.

There is no doubt that it was Zhang Fei who collided with Wang Lei in person.

Gongsun Zhan's eyes widened, his face was fierce, and he said: "Xuande, what are you going to do with Zhang Fei going to the camp of the Jizhou army to provoke and intending to assassinate Wang Guoxiang?" ”

Brush!!

Liu Bei's face changed, he didn't expect Gongsun Zhan to be so direct.

Moreover, the matter turned into an assassination.

In this way, the nature of the matter is different.

Zhang Fei was unconvinced, and shouted: "Gongsun Zhan, you also witnessed the situation at that time, Wang Lei has admitted the challenge, what are you doing here?" People don't care, you have a lot of care. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he glared at Zhang Fei viciously.

Zhang Fei closed his mouth and stopped talking, but Gongsun Zhan's mood was even worse.

feelings, these three brothers never put him in their eyes. Gongsun Zhan's heart was full of anger, and he scolded: "Good, good, good one can manage a lot." You live in the barracks, eat me, live in me, wear me, and I support you for everything. Even, even Liu Bei's recruitment of soldiers was borrowed from me. Now I actually say that I have a lot of control, a good Liu Bei, a good Zhang Fei! Co-author, I should support you without regrets and let you strengthen yourself, what a joke. ”

Liu Bei's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly apologized: "Brother is angry, Liu Bei has no such intention." ”

Gongsun Chan snorted coldly and asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Liu Bei sighed lightly in his heart, knowing that today's events could not be avoided. If Gongsun Zhan's anger can't be vented, he will never give up. Liu Bei gritted his teeth and took the initiative to say: "Zhang Feimang bumped into Wang Guoxiang, it was Liu Bei's lax discipline, and Liu Bei was willing to let Lord Taishou punish him." ”

"Good!"

Gongsun Chan waved his big hand, grinned and showed his white teeth, and shouted: "Someone! ”

With a loud shout, the soldier immediately walked in. Liu Bei's face changed greatly, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei clenched their fists. However, under Liu Bei's gaze, the two gave up their intention to use force and stood still.

Gongsun Chan shouted: "Liu Bei's royal majesty is not strict, and he has ten military sticks with a heavy staff; Zhang Fei collided with Wang Guoxiang, with a heavy staff of thirty military sticks. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his face turned even pale. Ten military sticks can be light or heavy, but Gongsun Zhan Ming said that the heavy rod and ten military sticks are definitely sticks to meat. As for Zhang Fei's thirty military sticks, it must be more serious. Liu Bei took a deep breath, glanced at the civil and military officials in the hall, and finally sighed lightly and said, "Liu Bei receives the punishment!" ”

"Wait!"

A loud voice sounded, and the young man in the last seat stood up.

Gongsun Chan asked, "What's the matter with Zilong?" ”

The young man's name is Zhao Yun, the word Zilong, Changshan Zhendingren, is the first brave general under Gongsun Zhan, and is in charge of the cavalry elite 'White Horse Yicong' under Gongsun Zhan. Zhao Yun bowed and saluted, and said loudly: "Zhang Fei collided with the kingdom minister, although he is guilty, but the crime is not so much." After all, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are their own people, while Wang Guoxiang is an outsider. The lord punishes his own people for an outsider, which will make the soldiers feel cold. ”

Gongsun Chan sneered and asked rhetorically: "The words are very reasonable, this official really shouldn't punish his own people for outsiders." But does the army want to be lawful? If everyone is provoking, can an army still be called an army? ”

Zhao Yun glanced at Liu Bei and sighed lightly in his heart.

This matter is indeed Zhang Fei's fault, and it is difficult to refute his willingness to help. Zhao Yun thought for a while, and then said: "Please also ask the lord to remember that the three brothers of Liu Bei have no merit and hard work during their time in Youzhou, and reduce their punishment." ”

"Military law is unforgiving, it is impossible!"

Gongsun Chan turned his head and directly rejected Zhao Yun's proposal.

"I received my brother's punishment, a manly man, he is not afraid of death, are you still afraid of being beaten?"

Guan Yu stroked the long hair under his chin and looked at Zhao Yun gratefully.

Gongsun Chan sneered, waved his hand, and ordered the soldiers to drag Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei down.

Zhao Yun sighed lightly and returned to his seat and sat down. After the discussion in the camp was over, Zhao Yun went to the camp tent of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. When they came to the camp tent, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were lying on the bed. Guan Yu received ten military sticks, which was still within the range of what he could bear, but Zhang Fei was beaten with thirty military sticks and had already blossomed.

Liu Bei hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Zilong for your help today, I am grateful." ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "Xuande Gong doesn't have to be like this, although I opened my mouth to intercede for you, but the lord did not reduce the punishment." After a pause, Zhao Yun asked, "Xuande Gong, what's going on today?" ”

Zhao Yun knew about Zhang Fei's provocation, but he didn't know the specific details.

Liu Bei's mind turned, and he quickly had a plan, and said slowly: "Here's the thing, before I arrived in Youzhou, I passed through Wuji County and met a group of war horses. There were six hundred horses in this batch, and I thought of preparing a gift for Gongsun Zhan, so I planned to steal these horses. At that time, Wang Lei was involved in the robbery of the war horse, and the two sides fought, Wang Lei won, and we lost. Today in Jizhou Mu Hanfu Mansion, after Wang Lei saw us, he directly said that we were thieves, but he cleared himself off. Yi De was angry, so he went to provoke, and then was disgusted by Brother Bo Jue. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Xuande Gong has good intentions, but the approach is wrong. ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Of course I know." ”

Zhao Yun changed his words and said: "This Wang Lei is not a good thing, he is so shameless. ”

Liu Bei said quietly: "Wang Lei was just a ruffian in Ye County half a year ago, and his name was unknown. Somehow, Wang Lei changed and was promoted again and again in half a year. He first served as the county commander of Wuji County, then served as the governor of Zhongshan State, and now directly serves as the state minister of Zhongshan State. A person like him has no shame. ”

Zhao Yun glanced at Liu Bei and sighed lightly: "What does Xuande Gong plan to do in the future?" ”

Liu Bei replied: "The matter has come to this, and there is no point in staying in the camp. I plan to leave today and take my soldiers to the Tiger Prison Pass to do my part to win over Dong. ”

Zhao Yun was in awe, hugged his fists and said, "Xuande is righteous and righteous!" ”

"Report!"

The soldier's voice was remembered outside the tent.

The soldier strode in and said loudly, "General Zhao, Lord Taishou, please go." Zhao Yun nodded and replied, and immediately bid farewell to Liu Bei. After Liu Bei saw Zhao Yun leave, he sighed lightly, and after being silent for a long time, he asked people to prepare a carriage for Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to rest, and asked the soldiers under his command to pack their luggage and prepare to leave the barracks.
