Liu Bei smiled and then drank tea.

At this moment, Zhang Fei walked in, and as soon as he came in, he pulled Pan Long and said, "Dingtian, let's go, let's race horses!" ”

Pan Long was dragged by Zhang Fei's arm to the door, Pan Long shook off his hand and said: "General Zhang, I have already raced yesterday, and I have already promised you, and I don't want to race horses today." ”

Zhang Fei shook his face, glared at Pan Long and said, "No! Yesterday was yesterday, today is today, you surnamed Pan have to race today, you have to race if you don't race, if you win, you won't race, you will accept it when you see it, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world? ”

When Pan Long heard it, Zhang Fei was a bit like a casino dealer, if he won, he won't let people go, and if he loses, he will only be allowed to lose and not to win, isn't this a cheat?

"General Zhang, what you mean by your words is that you must lose to you?"

Zhang Fei waved his hand and said: "I don't mean that, I don't mean that, anyway, I didn't want to lose yesterday, and the king didn't eat enough to lose to you, I don't believe that I will compete again today, if I lose Lao Zhang, I will have your surname!" ”

When Pan Long heard this, he immediately grinned, and said in his heart: Come on, Zhuojun butcher, come here again, fortunately, you often cheat, otherwise you would not have been surnamed Zhang a long time ago.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that since Liu Bei didn't agree to let him go to the barracks, he could dig a pit for Zhang Fei to jump in, his gunpowder character, he would undoubtedly jump as soon as he dug it, so he sighed and asked: "General Zhang, did the king really not eat enough to chase the horse yesterday?" ”

Although Zhang Fei was making up nonsense, he also put his hand on his waist and said confidently: "Then it goes without saying, if your stomach is flat, you will go to the game, and it is strange if you can win!" ”

Pan Long said: "Okay, since that's the case, let's compare again, this time I'll convince you!" ”

Liu Bei seemed to sense that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, I have nothing to do in my spare time, and I am willing to accompany you." ”

Pan Long felt that if Liu Bei went, the matter of going to the military camp would be yellow, so he refused: "Uncle Huang, didn't you eat enough of Luma yesterday, and you want to compete again?" ”

Liu Bei took a step forward and said, "That's not it." ”

Pan Long said with a smile: "In this case, I am more than General Zhang, so Uncle Huang should stay." ”

Liu Bei seemed to see Pan Long's conspiracy, and said with a gentle and firm attitude: "General Pan, since you want to compare, you must have a witness, and you will recommend yourself as a witness, I don't know if you are qualified?" ”

When Pan Long heard this, he only felt that Jiang was still old and spicy, and what he thought seemed to be able to be seen through by Liu Bei, since Liu Bei said to the position of the tip of the horns, it was not good to thin people's face, and he had to find another way to explore the affairs of the military camp, so he said: "Uncle Huang is naturally qualified enough, and he has this intention in the future." ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, his beard shook with laughter, and he said confidently: "Okay! With the eldest brother as a witness, this time I will definitely win! ”

Pan Long didn't think so, he felt that Zhang Fei might be disappointed, because this time he didn't plan to let Zhang Fei win, as for Zhang Fei's excuse for saying that the king chased the horse and didn't eat enough, Pan Long would rather believe that there are ghosts in this world than believe in Lao Zhang's mouth.

After that, several people went back to lead the horses out, and when they reached the place of yesterday's horse race, Liu Bei stretched out his hand and pointed to the big elm tree three miles away, and said: "It's still the same as yesterday, whoever goes under the tree first will win." ”

Zhang Fei didn't cheat this time, after Liu Bei gave an order, he almost flew out with Pan Long.

It's just that he didn't run halfway, Wang Chaima was left far behind, Zhang Fei's arm was still like an electric fan, but yesterday it was in second gear, and today it was in third gear, but the result was still the same, the same loss to Pan Long.

Zhang Fei sat on the horse in a daze like a child at the moment, drooping with a big head, staring at a grass by the horse's hooves with his eyes as if he was nothing, without saying a word.

Pan Long knew that Zhang Fei was in a bad mood at the moment, and felt that this was all a trivial matter, if Zhang Fei had to cry for a long time about this matter, then he would be too petty, so he deliberately smiled, looked at Zhang Fei's face clouded by anger, and said, "General Zhang, you lost again." ”

"You want to say! I know what to expect! Zhang Fei shouted, and said: "This game is not counted, and it will be compared tomorrow!" ”

Liu Bei's horse arrived in front of the two, and when he saw that Zhang Fei still didn't admit defeat, he said: "Yide, if you lose, you lose, you lose, a big man, a big man, win or lose is a trivial matter!" ”

Zhang Fei scratched his neck desperately, seemingly unwilling to admit defeat.

Pan Long sighed and said, "General Zhang, yesterday it was Wang Chases who didn't eat enough, this time you don't seem to have any reason not to admit defeat, right?" Don't say that the king hasn't eaten enough yet. ”

"Exactly! Wang Chaima is full today, but he is not full enough, tomorrow he will eat a big meal and come back to compare, I Lao Zhang will definitely win! Drive! ”

Zhang Fei said, didn't give Pan Long and Liu Bei a chance to talk, slapped the horse's buttocks, and ran away without a trace.

Liu Bei and Pan Long glanced at each other and then turned the horse and walked back slowly, Pan Long intended to let the horse go slower, and Liu Bei was also at the same frequency as him.

Pan Long felt that Zhang Fei would compete tomorrow, and he would definitely lose, because Wang Chasing Horses was not comparable to chasing Dragon Horses at all, and if there was a horse in this world that could outrun Chasing Dragon Horses, it must be Chitu, but Pan Long felt that even Chitu might not be able to win.

"Tomorrow, just tomorrow, I'm going to Xuzhou next."

"A few more days, right?"

Pan Long waved his hand and said, "No, stay any longer, I don't know when I will be able to capture Shouchun, by the way, does Uncle Huang know how many soldiers and horses Lu Bu has?" ”

Liu Bei lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes again, looked at Pan Long and said, "It's only thirty or fifty thousand." ”

"Thirty thousand or fifty thousand?"

Liu Bei paused, and then said, "It should be fifty thousand." ”

Pan Long nodded, and said: "Lu Bu this person, ambitious, and very brave, when the Puyang War, my lord was chased by him very embarrassed, and now he has Chen Gong as a military advisor, I am afraid that the imperial uncle will not be able to last long in Xiaopei, after breaking through Shouchun, the imperial uncle might as well fight with my family's master soldiers, and will be a family, if you two can join forces, you will be invincible in the world!" ”

Liu Bei raised his head, looked at the white clouds in the sky, and said lightly: "I, Liu Bei, are outnumbered and in a depressed situation, I am afraid that Cao Mengde will treat him coldly, and besides, even if we join forces, we may not be invincible in the world, the two Yuan troops are hundreds of thousands, and there are thousands of generals, and they should be invincible in the world. ”

Pan Long knew that Liu Bei's thinking was quick, but his resourcefulness was not good, and if he had half of Cao Cao's family property, he would have 100,000 troops at this moment.

After chatting for a while, the two quickly turned their horses back to the city.
