Last time, after listening to Liu Bei's statement about the war, the patriarch did not blame Liu Bei, but blamed himself, saying that he did not bring a good life to the clansmen, but on the contrary, made the clansmen live in poverty, so that people could ignore the pain of their relatives leaving for a little post-war pension. Liu Bei was incomprehensible about this.

There was still someone in Liu Bei's grandfather's generation who was an official in Zhuoxian Liu's grandfather, and that person was Liu Bei's own grandfather. But Liu Bei's father went early, and his two uncles didn't have any special skills, so from the previous generation of Liu Bei, the Liu family began to decline.

If Liu Bei's father had not died prematurely, the patriarch of the Liu clan in Zhuo County might not have fallen to Liu Yuanqi. Liu Yuanqi himself has no ability, that is, his ancestors have accumulated some fields, but he is dedicated to the Liu clan, and all he thinks about is how to make the Liu family regain its glory. So when he found that Liu Bei was clever and clever when he was a child, he was not afraid that Liu Bei would rob him of the position of patriarch in the future, on the contrary, he was doing his best to cultivate Liu Bei. Liu Bei also lived up to expectations and did make some achievements, but he still failed to lead the Liu family back into officialdom.

But now, seeing that the opportunity is in front of him, Liu Yuanqi can't let Liu Bei let this opportunity go by saying anything.

Liu Yuanqi said to Liu Bei earnestly: "Virtuous nephew, whether our Zhuoxian Liu clan can regain its strength depends on you. If you want to take the position of patriarch, the old decay will also give it away. ”

Liu Bei was taken aback by the patriarch's words, and hurriedly fell to the ground, and said earnestly: "How can I, Liu Xuande, do such an ungrateful thing? Patriarch, I'll keep the truth in my stomach. It's just that my brothers don't know if they will say it. ”

Liu Yuanqi did not observe Liu Bei's Taoyuan worship, so he didn't know who the brothers Liu Bei was talking about, but he guessed that they must be several leaders of the People's Self-Defense Army. So Liu Yuanqi did not leave Liu Bei, and urged Liu Bei to go to his brothers for ventilation.

Liu Bei still had something to say to the patriarch, but he was driven out by the anxious patriarch, so he could only go home first.

Regarding the matter of joining forces to conceal the facts, Liu Bei felt that Guan Yu would definitely approve, he knew that his second brother's utilitarianism was heavier than his own. And Zhang Fei's side is also easy to settle, because Zhang Fei has no opinions, and his ears are soft. Liang Xu is a little troublesome here, it's not Liang Xu's trouble, Liu Bei is not sure what Liang Sheng's reaction will be. Liu Bei felt that Liang Xu was more self-conscious, and he had some feelings of living in his own world, which was incomprehensible, but harmless to humans and animals. But Liang Sheng opposed the conquest of Zhao Ergou from the beginning, but he didn't know why he changed and became active on the battlefield, so Liu Bei was not sure what Liang Sheng's attitude would be. Liang San and Zhao Feng can be directly ignored, they are all subordinate to the Liang family, and they only listen to the head of the family.

At this moment, Zhang's father also went to Zhuangzi outside the city and found his son. Zhang's father saw that his son only had a few more scars on his body, and he was not missing arms or legs, so he calmed down.

When Zhang Fei saw his father, he was afraid, afraid that his father would blame him for not protecting Zhuang Ding, so he cowered and didn't dare to step forward.

When Zhang's father saw his son's bear-like appearance, his originally good mood was dissipated. Zhang's father straightened his face, glared at his son and said, "What are you doing standing so far away?" Are you afraid that your father will eat you? ”

Zhang Fei had no choice but to lean on his father.

Zhang's father asked, "Why don't you go home first?" ”

Guan Yu had already returned to the city at this time, so Zhang Fei was left in the Zhuangzi. Zhang Fei didn't dare to answer.

A strong man of 1.8 meters squirmed there, which made people feel very disobedient, and Zhang's father was no exception, so he looked down on his son even more. But thinking that his son had just made war exploits, he didn't bother with him for the time being. Just looking at his son's bear-like body shape, Zhang's father felt that his son could make war exploits, probably because of Liu Bei's blessing, he couldn't imagine his son's brave performance on the battlefield.

Zhang's father didn't think much about it anymore, his mood was a little depressed, and Wen Yan said to his son: "Let's go home with my father first, your mother is still waiting for you at home." ”

Zhang Fei saw that his father didn't ask about Zhuang Ding, and he didn't dare to mention it himself, but now it's just right.

In fact, Zhang's father had already discovered that Zhuangzi's atmosphere was very sad, and he also guessed that many people died in this battle. But Zhang's father only regarded Zhuang Ding as his own property, and there were many deaths, and it was only a bit of a big property loss, but it was not enough for him to take it to heart. Anyway, there are not enough people, so you can recruit again, and some of them are homeless recently.

Zhang Fei followed behind his father, left Zhuangzi, and went back in the direction of the county seat.

On the way, Zhang's father revealed to his son that Liu Yan said that they had won the battle.

Zhang Fei was still afraid that his father would know that he had not protected Zhuang Ding and would scold him. So he adhered to the eight-character mantra of "say less and make fewer mistakes, don't say good", and didn't say a word.

Seeing that his son had been silent, Zhang's father thought that he was frightened by the cruelty of the war, but he felt a little sorry for his son, and thought: My father is right, my Zhang family should abandon martial arts and follow literature, and after returning home, I will teach Yidemi a teacher.

When Liu Bei returned home, he saw that Guan Yu had returned, so he told Guan Yu about Liu Yan asking them for credit, and also said that the patriarch of the Liu clan told them not to tell the truth. Guan Yu said in his mouth: "It's up to the eldest brother to deal with it." It's just that Liu Bei could see that Guan Yu's expression had obviously become relaxed, at least his brows were relaxed, and Liu Bei was sure that this was not an illusion.

Liu Bei was not in a hurry to find Liang Xu, he returned to his yard as soon as possible, asked his mother to say goodbye, and also reported safety to his beloved wife. There were some touching and profound emotional exchanges that took place here, and I will not go into details.

Liu Bei went over to visit Liang Xu the next morning, and told Liang Xu that Liu Yan put the credit for the victory on them, and also said that the decision of the patriarch of the Liu clan wanted Liang Xu to cooperate.

Liang Xu was originally afraid that he would cause Liu Bei to lose the opportunity to emerge, but who knew that he was dozing off, so Liu Yan sent a pillow. Liang Xu said happily: "Big brother, this is a good thing!" I raise my hands and feet in favor of this! ”

Liu Bei really didn't misread Liang Xu, that is, he couldn't understand it. Liu Bei didn't expect Liang Xu to react like this, he really wanted to cut Liang Xu's head open and see what Liang Xu was thinking. A few days ago, he was depressed, but now when he heard that he could take credit, he became overjoyed, as if the credit was all his own.

Liang Xu saw Liu Bei looking at him blankly, touched his face, and asked in astonishment, "Big brother, is there anything on my face?" Why are you looking at me like that? ”
