Chapter 67: The Three Taoyuan Brothers

Liu Yu took everyone to the main hall to give them a seat. Liu Bei saluted Liu Yu again: "No, Liu Bei, after Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of the Son of Filial Piety, Liu Bei visited Zongzheng!" Liu Bei knew that Liu Yu was the head of the royal family surnamed Liu, the chief housekeeper of the royal family, so he visited Liu Yu again as a descendant of the Liu family.

Liu Yu was very surprised, he never thought that he was a junior of his own clan and a talent, so he counted the generations with Liu Bei......

Liu Kuan felt a chill. I think this topic was an interesting topic for the father and son when Liu Tong read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so he also read a lot of books and read the discussions of many experts.

Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, is the son of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, archaeology and related documents show that Liu Sheng is very good at pleasure, good room surgery, life expectancy 53, more than 120 children. Liu Bei's ancestors can only be traced back to two generations, his father is Buyi, and his grandfather Liu Xiongju is filial piety and honesty is the county magistrate of Fan County, Dongjun. Liu Sheng was three hundred years ago in Liu Bei, whether there was a relationship between them or not, basically they could only hehe. Many emperors in later generations vied to recognize Liu Sheng as their ancestor, because he had many heirs, which was difficult to falsify.

The most shameless is the Hun Liu Yuan, he is the founding emperor of Zhao Han of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, and the descendant of the Hun Mao Dun Shan Yu, who actually worships Liu Sheng and Liu Bei as their ancestors, these people are hard enough to have a good background.

"Meet my uncle!" When Liu Kuan was in the cold, Liu Yu and Liu Bei had already counted their generations, and Liu Bei had already knelt down to make a big salute to Liu Yu, and by the way, Liu Kuan's thoughts were also pulled back.

Liu Yu laughed, stroked his beard, and stretched out his hands to help Liu Bei up, "Sure enough, it's my good son of the Liu family!" Xuande, please get up. Zihua, hurry up and meet your brother Xuande. ”

After hearing this, Liu Kuan turned straight and formally saluted Liu Bei: "I've seen my brother." ”

Although Liu Kuan was bitter and Liu Bei was called the King of Zhongshan Jing, he also admired his repeated defeats and battles, his indomitable will, and his means of knowing people and being good at their duties, and winning people's hearts.

Liu Bei and Liu Kuan greeted each other, they were very affectionate and familiar, and Liu Bei introduced Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yonglai to Liu Yu and Liu Kuan. Because Liu Kuan was born noble, and has practiced martial arts for many years, plus he has been a judge for nearly 20 years in his previous life, he has a kind of calmness and the majesty of a superior, Liu Bei admired it in his heart after seeing it, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei thought in their hearts that although Liu Kuan was born noble, he was extraordinary in martial arts!

Liu Bei and Liu Yu had a very happy conversation, and Liu Bei focused on introducing the exploits of his three brothers in participating in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the subsequent experience of Huai Cai and being displaced.

That night, Liu Yu arranged a night banquet to pick up the wind for Liu Bei and his party.

After the banquet, in Liu Yu's study, "Zihua, when you were preparing to appoint Liu Bei for your father, why did you signal to stop your father?" Liu Yu asked puzzledly.

Liu Kuan replied: "How does my father evaluate Liu Bei and his person, and what position is he going to appoint?" ”

"Shen Xiong is magnificent, civil and military, and very human, I plan to order him to be the Sima in the army, and lead the troops to recruit Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju."

Liu Kuan shook his head after hearing this, and said: "Liu Bei is outstanding, has the talent of a king, and has won the hearts of the people, and will not be inferior in the end, his righteous brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have the courage of ten thousand people, if there is a different heart, it is the harm of my big man." ”

Liu Kuan has also mastered the skills of talking to Liu Yu now, if he wants him to agree, he will say that it is beneficial to the Han, and if he wants him to oppose it, he will say that it is harmful to the Han, basically tried and tested.

Liu Kuan continued: "Liu Bei's four talents are rare and can be used, but they must be separated from each other, and Liu Bei cannot be allowed to take charge of the army or defend one side alone. ”

Liu Yu nodded and asked, "How are I going to arrange it?" ”

"This matter can be discussed in the long run, my father was ordered to govern Youzhou, it can be seen that His Majesty also feels that my Liu family is in turmoil, and among my Liu clan, Liu Yan and Liu Biao are also gradually reused. The father should live up to His Majesty's trust, control the army and finances, recruit talents, appoint talents, immigrate to the fields, develop production, assimilate the people outside the Saiwai, and achieve effective rule over the Saiwai, so as to save the edifice in the future. ”

Liu Yu had long had plans to use his talents, Tuntian, and immigrate, and when he heard Liu Kuan's words, he thought it was true, and the conversation was very exciting. It's another hour to talk. Liu Kuan's sleepiness had already come up, and he left and returned to the room at the right time.

After that, Liu Yu recruited Liu Bei, Liu Kuan, Qi Zhou, Tian Yu, Xian Yufu and others every day to discuss the military and political policies of Youzhou.

One day, Qi Zhou said: "Envoy, the top priority should quickly quell the rebellion of Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, and Qiu Liju, and Han Dang's lieutenant has been reorganizing the Youzhou army for some time, and he can send a general to Guanzi City to relieve the siege of the capital Tinghou." Now that our Youzhou is in turmoil, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, so we should quell the chaos as soon as possible and resume production. ”

Liu Yu thought so.

Liu Bei got up and asked for an order, "When I first come here today, I am willing to lead an army to quell the thieves for the king, and offer Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, and Qiu Liju heads." ”

Seeing this, Liu Kuan walked in the center of the hall, solemnly saluted Liu Yu and said: "Father, the child is willing to capture Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, and strongly persuade Qiu Liju to lead his troops to surrender and stabilize the border stoppers." ”

Liu Yu originally advocated being gentle with ethnic minorities, but after listening to Liu Bei and Liu Kuan's invitation to the war, he said: "Zihua's strategy won my heart. Xuande will be reused in another way. Today, Liu Kuan, the commander of the Herong Protector Army, was the main general, and Han was the deputy, with 7,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry, and set off on the same day to quell the rebellion. ”

Liu Yu then appointed Liu Bei and Xian Yufu to be engaged, and ordered Liu Bei and Wuqiu Jian to send envoys to Wuhuan and Fuyu; Xian Yu Fu and Xian Yu Yin sent envoys to the Xianbei ministries to explain the new policies of the imperial court to the ministries, and according to Liu Kuan's previous policy, they advocated the equality of all ethnic groups, opened up the field, and allowed the border people to move to the Senei. Jian Yong was appointed as Yuyang County, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei entered the army to listen to it.

After Liu Yu announced his appointment, Guan Yu's face was ugly, and he wanted to say that he didn't want to separate from Liu Bei, but was stopped by Liu Bei.

On the second day, Liu Bei, Xian Yufu and others set off for Saiwai.

Liu Kuan led Tian Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to the military camp outside the city. When Han Dang saw Liu Kuan returning, he took Liu Feng and Liu Yu, who served in the army, out of the camp, and it was very lively to enter the camp. Han Dang was promoted to lieutenant by Liu Yu because of his meritorious service in defending the land in Ganling State. Liu Kuan's first time entering the barracks was a novelty, so he watched it everywhere.

I saw that the army was in order, the drill team was lawful, the bells and drums, and the banner were clear, and Han Dang really managed the army well.

Liu Kuan pointed to the team that was training in full swing and asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, "Brother Yun, Brother Yide, what do you think of my Youzhou Army?" Zhang Fei was straightforward and appreciative, while Guan Yu looked disdainful. Liu Kuanlai had to take care of him, so he continued to walk forward.

Liu Kuan saw Liu Lei and Liu Dian training with a team of spearmen from a distance, so he walked over, and Lei Dian saw Liu Kuan and hurriedly came over to salute.

Liu Kuan said: "Yide is a master of the gun, you might as well give some advice." Liu Kuan knew that Zhang Fei made a spear, and a spear was a kind of gun.

"It's good to fight, come on, come on, my old Zhang hasn't fought for several years, and they've all faded out."

After Zhang Fei heard this, he rushed to the center of the field, picked up a soldier's spear and used it a few times, thinking that it was too light, so he asked his entourage to go to his horse and fetch the Zhangba snake spear. Liu Kuan asked the two thunderbolts to fight Zhang Fei at the same time, and the soldiers all surrounded them when they saw that they were going to compete.

Liu Kuan, the martial art of thunder and lightning, taught it for a while, and then learned it from Han Dang. The three of them set up a formation, and the two of them were ready to attack Zhang Fei on the left and right. Zhang Fei shouted, stabbed Liu Dian straight with a spear, Liu Dian took a step back, so that the gun was wrapped around the spear, dodged a stab, Liu Leiza stabbed Zhang Fei in the back, Zhang Fei saw that the two of them had pure marksmanship and tacit cooperation, so he didn't dare to underestimate it, let go of his contempt, and fought with the two of them.

More than a dozen rounds later, Zhang Fei had a lot of strength, picked off the spear in Liu Lei's hand, jumped up, and smashed the gun with both hands to the top of Liu Dian's head.

Zhang Fei laughed and helped Liu Dian up, exclaiming: "It's enjoyable!" ”

Guan Yu kept shaking his head on the side. Seeing this, Liu Kuan was unhappy, he had long been unaccustomed to the arrogant Guan Yu, and thought to himself, if he didn't subdue Guan Zhang today, it would be difficult to drive him in the future, although Zhang Fei's marksmanship was excellent, it seemed that Zhang Fei didn't have the true qi cultivation today, relying on brute force. Then he said: "Brother Yun, Brother Yide, I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a long time, so it's better for the three of us to be active and make everyone happy." ”

When Guan Yu heard this, his feeling was that Liu Kuan wanted to challenge his two brothers at the same time, and he felt that he was being despised and his face was very ugly.

Zhang Fei grinned, "Second brother, let's have a discussion with General Liu." As he spoke, he asked his entourage to fetch Liu Kuan and Guan Yu's weapons.

Guan Yu saw Liu Kuan's calm and relaxed appearance, he was unhappy in his heart, and muttered in his heart, could it be that Liu Kuan has the courage of Lu Bu? didn't dare to underestimate Liu Kuan, and stood in the middle of the field with a big knife.

Liu Kuan saluted the two, picked up Guan Yu's big knife lightly with a stick, and signaled to start.
