Qingzhou, Jinan, Dongpingling.

Liu Bei returned to Qingzhou, and the people of Qingzhou, under the leadership of Guan Yu, came to greet him. Looking from afar, the person in front was actually not Guan Yu, which surprised Liu Bei. Liu Bei saw it, and secretly said in his heart, who is this person, with the arrogance of the second master of Guan, he actually let this person be in the middle, just about to ask, someone has already come to report, saying that it is Zheng Xuan, a famous man in Qingzhou, who came to greet him in person.

Hearing that Zheng Xuan came to greet him in person, Liu Bei was also taken aback, Zheng Xuan, this person, not only can be said to be a celebrity who holds the bull's ear in Qingzhou, but can even be said to be the top celebrity in the world. At the beginning, the general He Jin once conquered Zheng Xuan, Zheng Xuan didn't pass a night, gave face, and immediately abandoned the official and left.

Last year, when Liu Bei fought the Yellow Turban Army, he also visited Zheng Xuan in person, although he finally succeeded in recruiting Zheng Xuan's son, but Zheng Xuan did not show any intention of helping at all.

And now, Zheng Xuan took the initiative to come to greet Liu Bei, which made Liu Bei can't help but sigh in his heart: "People have a heart for a man!" ”

If it weren't for the hearts of the people, how could they let a celebrity of Zheng Xuan's level come out to greet Liu Bei in person. Maybe from today onwards, Liu Bei can really be regarded as being recognized by the so-called celebrities, and there will never be that kind of embarrassment like "Kong Beihai also knows that there is Liu Bei in the world".

Seeing that everyone came to greet him, Liu Bei's acting skills were played, he raised his hand and raised his whip, pointed to the air, and said: "Although Dong Thief is defeated, he is still not dead." The Son of Heaven moved westward, the Central Plains was in chaos, Sheji was in danger of exhaustion, and Li Shu was in danger of being overhanged. As a member of the Han family, I made a vow here, one day, I will lift a three-foot sword to level the chaos in all directions, welcome back the car of the Son of Heaven, and return to the old capital. Let the people of Li live in peace and contentment, and there will be no more wars and disasters. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei took an arrow in his hand, broke the arrow with both hands, and swore: "If Liu Bei violates this oath, there is such an arrow." With that, Liu Bei raised the two severed arrows high and signaled to everyone.

In fact, when Liu Bei said this, he was certainly making a play, but in fact, he was telling the truth, as long as in the future, Liu Bei swept away the princes, revived the Han Dynasty, and became the emperor, the world would naturally be peaceful.

After showing off his acting skills, Liu Bei said to Zheng Xuan: "Zheng Gong, how can you prepare for it, how dare you work hard for Zheng Gong to come and greet you." ”

Liu Bei did not speak to Guan Yu and the others, but first saluted Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The general worked hard to fight against Dong and rebelled, swept away the filth in the capital, and moved the sea. Xuanzi should come to welcome him, isn't it a matter of course. ”

Liu Bei sighed: "I have too much of a reputation for Gong Zheng, although Dong Thief was defeated but not dead, he still has tens of thousands of soldiers, and the Son of Heaven is still in Xijing." This time to ask for Dong, it was really in vain, Zheng Gong praised it, and he was really ashamed. ”

Kong Rong said on the side: "Otherwise, last year, the princes of Shandong raised troops, Yuan Benchu ordered in Hanoi, Yuan Highway Tiger was located in Luyang, Kong Gongxu was stationed in Yingchuan, and all the princes gathered in Sour Zao." For a time, Shandong Prefecture and counties were moving, and the momentum of the righteous army was so prosperous. Up to now, the sour jujube soldiers are scattered, and the two Yuan have no merit, and those who have made great contributions to the world are only the envoys and Wucheng Hou. Although Dong Zhuo is not dead, but his strength has declined, but he is just surviving, so that the power of the king, and the life of the generals, will be able to welcome the Son of Heaven back to the east, and return to the old capital, Zhongxing Han Room, this Qi Huan, Jin Wen industry. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei didn't know why, and suddenly remembered a sentence, "If there is no comparison, there is no harm." ”

In fact, Liu Bei and Sun Jian also defeated Dong Zhuo once. However, the purpose of the combined forces of Sun and Liu was to snatch the emperor back. Therefore, Sun and Liu did not achieve their strategic goals in this dispatch, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they returned in vain.

However, who made Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others even more unbearable. At the beginning, when the Kwantung princes raised their troops, all the princes jointly respected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu brothers, and Dong Zhuo have both national hatred and family hatred. People all over the world also thought that the two Yuan brothers would move forward bravely, and they would definitely crusade against Dong Zhuo, behead him, go to the country, and avenge his family. Who knew that after Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were beaten by Dong Zhuo, they stopped moving, but it was Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and Bao Xin, who were passers-by who played soy sauce, regardless of life and death, and fought with Dong Zhuo to the end. Of course, compared with the sour jujube princes who disbanded after eating up the grain, the Eryuan brothers are still good.

Liu Bei sighed secretly in his heart, hugged Sun Jian's thigh once, and really made himself famous,

So, Liu Bei once again asked Zheng Xuan to go out of the mountain to help, and similarly, Zheng Xuan definitely still did not agree to go out of the mountain. Of course, this result is understood by both parties, Zheng Xuan does not agree to conquer, that is the style of Zheng Xuan, if Liu Bei does not conquer others, then Liu Bei does not know Corporal Lixian.

After showing off with a group of celebrities, Liu Bei said to Guan Yu: "Brother Xian, in the days when I left Qingzhou, there was something difficult. ”

Guan Yu said: "Brother, rest assured, everything is safe." ”

Liu Bei laughed and said, "I have Yun Chang here, so I can sit back and relax." ”

Guan Yu said: "I just hate not being able to fight the thief from my brother." ”

Liu Bei said: "If you don't calm today, how can my brother be useless." ”

Everyone flocked to Liu Bei to return home, left home for a few months, and heard that a few concubines had filled in a few children for themselves, and Liu Bei felt a little like an arrow. It's just that when it comes to Liu Bei's status, if it's okay in the peaceful era, the troubled times will compete for power, if you don't advance, you will retreat, but some things are involuntarily, compared to military and political matters, family affairs can only be put back.

Therefore, Liu Bei just went back to the house to rest for the night, but the next day he appeared in the county guard mansion in high spirits, and discussed with everyone the reward for meritorious soldiers. There is only one person, but it is difficult to determine, but he is a drama talent, and how much credit this advice has, which is different from beheading and commanding operations, cannot be quantified in detail. Therefore, at the beginning, only the merits and rewards of soldiers at all levels were set, but the drama was undecided.

After the merits of the soldiers were agreed, Liu Bei said to everyone: "Mr. Xi, this strategizing is the first merit, what reward should be received." ”

Before everyone could speak, Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, this time to discuss Dong, rely on the lord's divine might, and rely on the soldiers to use their lives, and the play is useless, and I dare not accept it." ”

Liu Bei said: "Mr. has many tricks, and our army has won a big victory, please don't be too humble." ”

Xi Zhicai just excused himself, and Liu Bei had no choice but to put the matter on hold first.

After everyone left, Liu Bei left Xi Zhicai alone and asked, "Sir, but if you are dissatisfied with Liu Bei, why is you not rewarded?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "A certain person who has received the great favor of the lord, how dare he have a grudge, and those who are not rewarded are the lord's soldiers, and the reward is too much, and he is afraid that the soldiers will be arrogant, so he will not be rewarded." ”

Liu Bei sighed: "Mr. Jinyu's good words, I must engrave them in my heart." But I heard, 'Under the great reward, there will be a brave man.' If there is no great reward, how can it motivate the soldiers to fight to the death? ”
