Section 16 Taoyuan Righteousness

Due to the magnitude of the yellow turbans, the local officials did not dare to resist. In less than ten days, "the world responded, and the Beijing division shook". The imperial court sent a message to all counties and ordered all prefectures and counties to organize local armed forces to resist the Yellow Turbans. When I arrived in Zhuo County, I knew that I should meet the peerless generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Previously, not long after I returned to Zhuo County from Yingchuan, Tai Shici arrived as promised. For this reason, I went to Donglai to see his mother for treatment, and after taking the first patch, his mother felt well. I took the opportunity to tell him that the old man would have to eat fine grains and liquid food in the future, and that only Izumo Castle could meet the requirements, so it would be better to move his mother to Izumo Castle. Of course, for the sake of his mother, he had to agree.

I was secretly proud, hehe, when he arrived in Izumo Castle, he knew what a realistic city it was, although I arranged him in the castle lord's mansion, and ordered him to give him part of my salary every month to support his mother, but there were no servants in the castle lord's mansion, and he had to do everything himself. Izumo City also stipulates that those who do not have a job have no salary, and those who do not pay taxes have no status. In this way, although he has a certificate issued to him by the Senate, it is certainly inconvenient to do anything. Izumo Castle did not allow money to circulate elsewhere, and in order to make a living, he had to find a job and become a professional.

Hahahaha, sure enough, 3 months after he arrived in Izumo Castle, he wrote to me, asking for an official position, he boasted of his amazing martial arts, and if he joined the army, he would be a general, defending one side for me. I wrote to him to suggest that he first pass the citizenship test of Izumo Castle and become a citizen according to the laws of Izumo Castle, and then I recommended him to be a squad leader and join the army.

Subsequently, under my instruction, Gao Shun arranged for him to lead people to pursue a group of Wuheng bandits who came to Liaoxi to plunder, and after making military achievements, he was awarded the medal and became the general who replaced Guan Hai to command the left front of the iron cavalry. In this way, Izumo Castle has Gao Shun on the right (the Han Dynasty is respected on the right), and Tai Shici on the left, which is really as stable as Mount Tai.

When the 200 additional attendants sent by Izumo City arrived in Zhuo County, it was the moment when Zhuo County's Zhang Bang summoned the villagers, and I specially went to the county seat from Lousang Village to see the list. When I saw the list, I sighed.

There was no sound all around, and I panicked, and once again let out a long sigh that was unusually clear.

There was still no response around me, and I was terrified.

It is recorded in the history books that Liu Bei saw the list that day and sighed. Then one person said sharply: "The eldest husband does not contribute to the country, why do you sigh?" Liu Bei looked back at his person, eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, his voice was like a huge thunder, and his momentum was like a galloping horse. Xuande saw that he was abnormal in appearance and asked his name.

The person said: "A certain surname is Zhang, the name is Fei, and the word Yide." He lives in Zhuo County, has a lot of farmland, sells wine and slaughters pigs, and specializes in making friends with the world's heroes. Just when I saw the public looking at the list, I sighed, so I asked. ”

Xuande said: "I am a relative of the Han family, surnamed Liu, and my name is Bei. Today, I heard that the Yellow Turban advocated chaos, and I had the ambition to break the thief and settle the people, but I couldn't hate, so I sighed. ”

Fei said: "I am quite wealthy, when I recruit the villagers, and do big things with the public, how about it." Xuande was very happy, so he went into the village shop with him to drink.

At this moment, I sighed clearly twice, why didn't anyone answer?

Zhang Fei, where are you?

Sighing twice wasn't enough, I turned to look at the crowd in confusion. I saw that the onlookers were all ordinary people, and no matter how I looked at it, I couldn't find a strong man in the crowd. Oh my God, has history really changed, and I really can't find my Zhang Fei Guan Yu.

There was a panic in my heart, the bruises on my forehead jumped, the sounds around me were infinitely amplified, and I only heard a roar in my ears, standing in the crowd, I felt as if I was in a desert.

Ah, I stroked my heart and slowly withdrew from the crowd, standing on the road in a daze, at a loss.

The attendants around me kept opening their mouths to remind me that I had returned to reality, I shook my head, and the voice drifted into my ears: "City Lord, your face is so ugly, do you want to go to the roadside shop to rest." ”

Oh, the roadside shop? It is said that Guan Yu was picked up by Zhang Fei and Liu Bei when they were resting in the roadside shop, can I meet Guan Yu in the roadside shop? I waved my hand and motioned for everyone to go to the roadside shop to rest.

It's afternoon, it's almost lunch, the sun is about to set, and there are people coming and going on the road, and none of them conform to the shape of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. I'm terrified, can't I really find my Guan Yu Zhang Fei?

The store brought a plate of braised pig's head, let a few of us fill our stomachs, I ate without intention, still looking at the road stupidly, Guan Yu, don't you show up?

The attendant handed over half of the pig's face and said to me: "City Lord, you can eat some too, how about we go back to Zhuo County after eating?" ”

Enraged, I jumped up and prepared to reprimand the squire. Wait, wait, why is this half of the pig's face so weird, I reached out, picked up the pig's face, and looked at it carefully.

Ah, this half of the pig's face was split from the middle from the beginning, no wonder it's so weird. A knife, from the beginning to the end of this person only used a knife, to split the pig's skull, the knife is round, in one go, from the beginning to the end without the slightest hesitation, looking at this half of the pig's face, I feel the strong confidence of the knife hand.

Good knives, peerless knives, invincible knives, good knives that I haven't seen before, good knives that haven't seen the ancients and no one who has come after, a good knife that is regrettable and desperate, and a good knife that is terrifying, and there are so many knives in this world, it really makes me strange.

I hurriedly looked up at the other pig faces, and without exception, all the pig faces were cut in half from the middle. Ah, this is the work of a professional butcher, this butcher is probably as skillful as he was in ancient times, who is so terrifying?

Puzzled, I beckoned to the store and asked, "Shopkeeper, where did you get this pork?" Was it from a butcher, and who was the butcher? ”

I patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry, you answer my questions one by one, and you will be rewarded for your good answers." ”

Hearing that there was a bounty, the shopkeeper immediately came back to his senses and immediately replied: "These meats are all sold by Zhang Dahu in Taozhuang in the west of Zhuoxian County, as for who killed the pork, the villain doesn't know." ”

Zhang Dahu? Taozhuang? The words of Taoyuan Yiyi immediately flashed in my mind, and I immediately asked again: "That big family is called Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide?" ”

The shopkeeper replied, "Exactly." Immediately, he said suspiciously: "Since your lord knows his name, do you know this big family?" ”

I didn't care about answering the shopkeeper's words, I looked at the shopkeeper with joy, and I couldn't wait to kiss him. God, you haven't abandoned me after all, and you treat me well.

I immediately replied and ordered the attendants, "Hurry up, clean up, and we'll go to Taozhuang immediately." ”

When I turned around, I saw that the shopkeeper was still wondering, and my heart moved, since Zhang Fei couldn't run, would Guan Yu also come to this road. Okay, I'll take a gamble. I immediately ordered: "Shopkeeper, you send one person to guide us, I only take two people with me, and the rest of the attendants stay here, you help me on the road, if a strong man sees Bangwen and wants to join the army, you will leave me behind, just say that I want to recruit Xiangyong, for each person left, I will give you 300 copper coins, what do you think?" ”

The store was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed. I whispered to my attendants, to watch out for a big red-faced man, and to contact me as soon as I found him. I secretly thought, since I can't see Guan Yu now, then I will buy all the people who joined the army, and I won't be able to find Guan Yu if I don't believe it.

Taozhuang, soon in front of us, at the door of the village, a group of people are killing pigs, a big man is like a huge thunder in the greeting everyone, in the wind, faintly came the words "yellow scarf", "join the army" and so on. Haha, it seems that this person is more anxious than me, and now he wants to gather everyone and organize an army to protect his hometown.

I walked quickly to the entrance of the village, and when the man finished speaking, he immediately picked up a butcher's knife, walked in front of the hanging live pig, and moved his arms and legs. The pig seemed to sense the fear of death, and let out a terrible scream, desperately struggling to move its limbs. It was too late, and I saw the big man roar loudly, wielding a knife at the throat of the pig, and the pig's crying stopped abruptly.

The man turned the knife back and made up a knife on the belly of the pig, and the pig's bore broke out. Good knife technique, I walked quickly to the front, look at the dead pig, only two knives, cut a T-shaped in front of the pig's chest, a knife on the neck cut the pig's throat, esophagus, to the neck bone, clean and neat, without the slightest drag mud and water, dare to breathe is a knife on the belly, along the ups and downs of the belly, the belly cut open but did not hurt the internal organs at all. It's a good knife, but I'm not as good as this skill.

The man watched me squeeze in, a little overwhelmed with a knife. Could it be that this is Zhang Fei? I raised my eyes and saw that this person was eight feet long (Han ruler, about 1.70 meters long), with dark skin, two big eyes like cowbells staring at Bangwen, but there was no beard on his chin, and the tiger whiskers came from.

I hurriedly arched my hand and introduced myself: "I am the king of Zhongshan, Lushan is too guarded by Lu Zhimen, the former Youzhou soldier Cao is engaged, Liu Bei Liu Xuande of Zhuo County, I heard that there is a warrior here, I came to visit, you are Taozhuang Zhuang advocates flying Zhang Yide?" ”

The big man was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted happily: "A certain surname is Zhang, the name is Fei, and the word Yide." He lives in Zhuo County, has a lot of farmland, sells wine and slaughters pigs, and specializes in making friends with the world's heroes. ”

Wow, horrible, absolute noise pollution, this loud deafening to my ears. Could this terrifying man really be able to drink off Nagasaka Bridge? I'm very happy, but I'm also very unhappy - you are Zhang Fei, but you don't need to shout earth-shattering. It's also too exaggerated, you see, the people around us are looking sideways at us.

Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said in a voice like a thunderbolt: "Liu Bei, are you the Duke of Liu Bei Liu Xuande of Zhuo County, I have been famous for a long time, but I have visited you a few times, but I heard that you went to Donglai to visit friends (to treat Tai Shici's mother), and you have never met, it is a pity." People say: If you don't know Liu Xuande in your life, it is in vain to call yourself a hero. Now that I see you today, can I be called a hero in the future? ”

I replied with a straight face: "The virtuous brother is a hero in the world, and he will not see Liu Xuande, he can also be called a hero in the world, and he can not be taken seriously if he sees me as a hero." ”

Zhang Fei was immediately overjoyed, and said smoothly: "My brother calls me a hero, and I will be a hero in the future." ”

I immediately pretended not to know and asked, "Brother Xian gathers people here, and is he also going to organize the villagers to break the Yellow Turban Thieves?" ”

Zhang Fei immediately said: "Exactly, I heard that the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I am quite wealthy, and I am preparing to recruit Xiangyong to go to the army, my brother came just right, we are lacking a leader, my brother is a member of the Han family, so he will be our leader, I will do a big thing with my brother, how about it?" ”

I reached out and patted him on the shoulder, this is my brother, what a simple child, and he handed over the family property in a few words. How many people can there be in the world when the family is broken?

Looking at the crowd gathered around in a blink of an eye, there were several big men with majestic appearances, and it seemed that with Zhang Fei's majesty, he disdained to associate with weak people. Well, these people can take care of our start-up capital.

Wait, there's a big red-faced man in the crowd, red-faced, that's my favorite, and I look at him carefully: nine feet long, two feet long; The face is like a heavy jujube, and the lips are greased; Danfeng eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, dignified appearance, majestic.

I immediately saluted him and asked, "This brother, I see that you are very good-looking, can you tell me your name?" ”

His people raised their voices and said: "My surname is Guan, my name is Yu, the word is Changsheng, and I changed it to Yunchang, and I am also a good person in Hedong." Because of the domineering power in this place, I killed him, so he fled to the rivers and lakes for five or six years. Now I heard that Zhuo County was recruiting sergeants and thieves, so I came to apply. Passing by here, I saw the crowd gathering, so I stopped to watch"

Haha, this is Guan Yu, my brother. I was overjoyed, and immediately saluted and said to him: "I am Liu Bei Liu Xuande, a savage from Zhuo County, and I am discussing with my brother Zhang Fei how to organize the township to break the thieves. ”

Guan Yu was shocked and asked: "Could it be Liu Bei Liu Xuande, who "didn't know Liu Xuande in his life, so it was in vain to call him a hero"? The kid has no form, and today he is happy to see Xuande Gong, and he is rude. ”

I immediately said, "Since I am a thief, how can I tell these trivial courtesies again." ”

Guan Yu was immediately overjoyed, looked up at the pig that had been slaughtered on the shelf, and said: "Although this pig is broken, it has not been cut to the bone, why don't you let Guan make up for it and cut it to the bone, how about it?" ”

I was just about to take a look at the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique of this peerless fierce general, and when I heard this, I immediately instigated: "Okay, Brother Guan will make up for it, and after we cut it to the bone, it will be just eaten." ”

Guan Yu took Zhang Fei's knife, raised his eyebrows, Danfeng's eyes were wide, and he was not angry. With a swing of the knife, the pig was split into two pieces from head to tail. When I looked closer, I couldn't help but shudder. What kind of knife is this, along the pig's vertebrae, this knife goes down, all the vertebrae are evenly cut from it, until the pig's tail, the knife winds without the slightest pause. This knife is beyond my reach regardless of eyesight and strength, ah, there is really such a good martial art in this world, it seems that I really underestimated the heroes of the world before.

Looking at the sword skills and eyesight of Guan and Zhang, I can't help but think, how invincible Lu Bu should be that Lu Bu, who is proud of the crowd in Tiger Prison Pass?

Raising their eyes and looking around, everyone was shocked by this knife, but they didn't expect to see a good man whose eyesight and strength were comparable to Zhang Fei! This knife established his status.

Zhang Fei looked at the knife marks carefully, and muttered: "How does this knife look like my old Zhang's cut." ”

Immediately, he continued: "There is a peach orchard behind my village, and the flowers are in full bloom; Tomorrow we will be in the garden to worship heaven and earth, and the three of us will become brothers, work together, and then we can do great things. ”

Guan Yu and I responded in unison: "That's very good. ”

The next day, in the peach orchard, the three of us prepared the black ox and white horse sacrifice and other items, and the three of us burned incense and bowed again, and said the oath: "Reading Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, although they have different surnames, they are brothers, they will work together to save the poor and help the needy; Report to the country, under An Lishu. I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year. The emperor and the queen of heaven, learn from this heart, betray righteousness and ingratitude, and kill heaven and man together! ”

At this time, Liu Bei was 24 years old, Guan Yu was 25 years old, and Zhang Fei was 18 years old.

At this moment, the peach blossoms are falling, and the human face is still there. At this moment, the sky and the earth changed color, and the clouds opened and the fog dispersed. This moment will forever be recorded in the annals of history, and it will be praised through the ages.

After taking the oath, because I have the identity of a relative of the Han family, although Guan Yu is one year older than me, he still worships me as a brother and becomes the second brother, and Zhang Fei is the third brother.

After sacrificing heaven and earth, we slaughtered cattle and set up wine, gathered warriors in the township, and got more than 300 people, and drank in the peach orchard. Pack up your weapons, organize your military schools, and prepare for the big war. It's a pity that the sergeants have no horses to ride, at this time, the two major merchants Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang came as promised, bringing our hidden weapons and 100 horses, these good blades are just equipped with the village brave, but unfortunately, there are not many villagers who can ride horses.

As expected, Zhang Fei chose the Zhangba Snake Spear, and Guan Yu chose the Qinglong Yanyue Knife as a weapon. I have no objection to Guan Yu's choice, but why did Zhang Fei choose the spear, strange?

After the whole army was completed, I quickly dragged these 300 villagers back to Zhuo County. Immediately, 200 attendants were dispatched to quickly transfer the family members and Guan Ning to Izumo City. And the 200 Izumo City soldiers around Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang no longer need them to continue to disguise themselves as caravan guards. I incorporated these people into the army and made them serve as mid-level lieutenants in our country. And the two merchants moved to Izumo Castle with Guan Ning to avoid the scourge of war.

Soon after, news came that the Yellow Turban Army broke Fanyang City, Fanyang County Taishou was martyred, and the successor Fanyang County Taishou moved the governance office to Zhuo County, after which, the title of Fanyang County no longer existed, and it was replaced by the title of Zhuo County.

At this moment, I am recruiting soldiers in Zhuo County and training village warriors. At the same time, they ignored the pleas for help from the surrounding counties. I believe that the villagers we have recruited will not be able to form combat effectiveness until they have completed their training, and I will resolutely not let them fight until then.

However, the Yellow Turban Army did not give me time, as the disaster of the Yellow Turban intensified, on this day, the spies came to report that the Yellow Turban thieves commanded Cheng Yuanzhi to invade Zhuo County with 50,000 troops. The striker has arrived in Fang City.

I thought to myself, my battle for the Yellow Turbans was about to begin.
