48. Mount Tai
Liu Bei was stationed outside Beihai City for another three days, and every day Kong Rong would send someone to invite Liu Bei into the city for a banquet. On the fourth day, Liu Bei couldn't stay any longer, so he asked Kong Rong to go to Mount Tai to suppress the bandits.
Qingzhou did not have a state pastor at this time, and each county was in a state of fighting for itself. As soon as he heard that Liu Bei was leaving, Kong Rong did not agree. He was afraid that after Liu Bei left, the Yellow Turban Army would make a comeback. Liu Bei finally said something wrong, and finally appeased Kong Rong and promised him that if the yellow scarf returned, he would come again.
In the end, Kong Rong saw that Liu Bei had made up his mind, and he didn't say anything more. However, he prepared a lot of grain and grass for Liu Bei, otherwise he really couldn't support so many people with the grain and grass that Liu Bei brought when he went on the expedition.
Liu Bei got grain and grass to say goodbye to Kong Rong, and then he divided his troops into two ways. One route was led by Liu Bei personally, and 10,000 horses went to Mount Tai. The other way was handed over to Guan Yu to bring all the remaining people back to Nanpi, and finally sent to Liaodong for resettlement. Guan Yu didn't say how to lead the team back to Nanpi City, but Liu Bei led 10,000 horses to Taishan County.
Tai'an, the county seat of Taishan County, was in the hands of Taishan thieves at this time. As Liu Bei's 10,000 troops approached the city, the atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense.
Zang Ba sat on the main seat and looked at the three people below and said, "Four virtuous brothers, how should Liu Bei deal with us when he came to suppress the bandits this time?" ”
"Big brother, we will listen to you what you say!" Sun Guan was the first to speak.
"Yes! Big brother, listen to you! Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Chang Feng also chimed in. However, Chang Xuan was different from others, his triangular eyes kept turning, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Zang Ba looked at the crowd: "I know something about Liu Bei, some time ago, the Eighteenth Route Coalition Army was fighting Dong Zhuo, and Guan Yu, who was warm and drunk, was his brother-in-law. After the three British battles against Lu Bu, it is said that his two brothers and another general were also returned. and the recent siege of Beihai City, it was Liu Bei who led his troops to relieve the siege, captured the Yellow Turban leader Guan Hai, and captured tens of thousands of Yellow Turban remnants. Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looking at the faces of the four people below, who were somewhat ugly, obviously frightened by the combat power of Liu Bei's men.
Zang Ba sighed secretly in his heart, in the end, he was born as a thief and had never seen the world, so he coughed and continued: "Although Liu Beijun is powerful, I am not a vegetarian thief. I've done a game with him today, so that he can't underestimate you and my brother! ”
"That's what the big brother said! Wait a minute, let me go down and kill their prestige, I heard that Guan Yu is very good, and I don't know if I can compare! Wu Dun said after listening. This Wu Dun is good at using a big knife and is extremely brave, and he is not convinced by Guan Yu, who also uses a knife. As soon as Zang Ba saw him asking for battle, he immediately nodded and agreed, agreeing that he would challenge the generals in Liu Bei's camp early tomorrow morning.
At night, a carriage arrived outside Liu Bei's military camp, and it was Fu Zhi who was sitting on the car, and the person who drove the car was Zhang He. It turned out that when he arrived at Tianfeng's mansion, he knew that Liu Bei had sent troops to Beihai to relieve the siege. While Tian Feng left them behind, he thought about writing to inform Liu Bei. It's just that before this letter was written, news came from the front that the siege of Beihai had been lifted.
Tian Feng didn't write again when he got the news, he thought that since Liu Bei had solved the siege of Beihai, he should be back soon. Who knew that after waiting for two days, news came that Liu Bei was rerouted to Taishan County to suppress bandits, and only Guan Yu himself returned with a large group of men. Tian Feng saw that he couldn't wait, so he thought about writing to Liu Bei again.
At this time, he spoke: "Brother Yuan Hao, you can give me this letter!" I thought about going directly to meet Liu Yuanjun with Jun Yi! ”
Tian Feng nodded when he heard this, so he wrote a letter and handed it to his old friend. Fu Zhu and Zhang He didn't stay long and set off directly, and Zhang He drove to Taishan County. That night, he came outside Liu Bei's military camp.
When Liu Bei heard that someone from Nanpi City was coming, he thought there was something going on at home, but when he saw the two people who came in, he didn't know him. So he asked, "...... are the two?"
Frustrated and saluted: "Liu Yuanjun, I am also frustrated!" This one is Zhang He! Liu Bei didn't react for a while, but Han Fei next to him immediately stood up as soon as he heard that someone had signed up. He whispered: "My lord, this position is a frustrated duke. ”
Liu Bei reacted immediately after being reminded by Han Fei, and hurriedly got up and said, "I don't know if the frustrated prince is coming, so I'm very scared." As he spoke, he came to the side of the frustrated professor to salute. Frustrated, how dare he accept Liu Bei's gift, he hurriedly stepped aside.
"Don't do this, you are now a white body." Frustrated, he sighed. After listening to the words of the frustrated professor, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then understood that it must be the frustrated professor who did not want to be under Yuan Shao, and this was to defect to himself! Thinking of this, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly became warm. The reputation of frustration is well-known in Jizhou, and when he came to himself with such a big talent, Liu Bei felt so comfortable that he was about to float.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei took Frustration's hand and led him to the top to sit down, this was Han Fei's seat, but at this time, Han Fei had already taken the initiative to get out of the way and sit down. Zhang He naturally stood behind Fu Zhi. Liu Bei talked enthusiastically with Fu Zhu, and Han Fei peeked at this Zhang He. I saw that he was not tall, but he had a heroic spirit. Looking at his face again, his facial features are slightly dark, but his eyes are bright. Probably sensing that Han Fei was looking at him, he turned his head and smiled at Han Fei, and Han Fei nodded at him. The heart said: In the end, he is a character who can compete with Zhang Fei, and his intuition is really sensitive.
At this time, Liu Bei and Fu Zhu had a very happy conversation, and Fu Zhu also had a deep understanding of Liu Bei at this time, so he immediately changed his name to the lord and took out Tian Feng's letter. Liu Bei was overjoyed and ordered his guards to order a banquet for Fu Zhu and Zhang He to wash the dust. There was not much time, and the banquet was set, and during the banquet, Liu Bei personally introduced everyone to Fu Zhi.
Zhang Fei became interested in Zhang He at this time, and he could see at a glance that this person was a master. It is difficult to find a martial artist opponent at Zhang Fei's level, so Zhang Fei came to Zhang He with a wine bowl and said, "It's good to have a bowl with a certain person!" ”
"This ...... Since the three generals are invited, dare not obey their orders! Zhang He stood up and smiled bitterly, and then the two drank the wine together.
"Rejoice! Hahaha! Zhang Fei laughed and said, "You are also a master, so it's good to fight me in a while!" ”
Zhang He didn't agree immediately when he heard this, but looked frustrated. Fu Zhu was talking to Han Fei at this time, although he had heard Tian Feng talk about Han Fei's ability, he still wanted to personally verify whether the little military master was really capable or not.
The two were chatting about the general trend of the world, when they heard Zhang Fei inviting Zhang He to fight! Frustrated for a moment, Han Fei smiled on the side and said, "Frustrated Gong, these three generals will challenge them when they meet a master, and all the generals in the army have fought with him. After listening to Han Fei's explanation, he nodded at Zhang He, so Zhang He readily agreed to Zhang Fei's invitation to fight, how could Zhang Fei's temper be willing to wait. saw Zhang He agree, so he pulled him out and walked out, this is going to compete!
