Chapter 4 Recruiting Guan Yu
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Guan Yu agreed.
Liu Fan led the horse and Guan Yu together and walked towards the place where Liu Fan lived, Xiqinbao Township.
"Under the surname Guan, the name Yu, the table word Yun Chang. He lives in Xie County, which is adjacent to Anyi. What is this son called? On the way, Guan Yu introduced himself to Liu Fan.
"It turned out to be Brother Yun, good words!" Liu Fan first exclaimed, and then said: "The next surname is Liu, the name is Fan, and he is not yet the year of the weak crown, so there is no word for the time being." After Liu Cang, the king of Dongpingxian, Mengzu was on Yuyun and won the title of Marquis of Western Qinting. ”
Liu Fan knew that Guan Yu had always been loyal to the Great Han in his heart, and before he met Liu Bei, he had great respect for the clan. The purpose of Liu Guanzhang and the Taoyuan alliance was to help the Han Dynasty. Although Liu Bei is benevolent, he is not top in civil and military affairs, and he relied on the title of King Jing of Zhongshan to attract Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Liu Shengguang, the king of Zhongshan Jingguang, has one hundred and twenty sons recorded in history, all of whom are feudal marquises. It has been passed down for more than ten generations, and its descendants do not know how many. A down-and-out Western Han clan like Liu Bei grabbed a lot of money in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Compared with the descendants of Liu Cang, the most outstanding of the Ten Kings of Guangwu Emperor, the descendants of King Jing of Zhongshan are still a lot worse.
Sure enough, after hearing Liu Fan's self-report, Guan Yu's face was surprised. He bowed sideways.
"Gongzi turned out to be a member of the Han clan, and Guan was clumsy."
"Alas! It's just a nominal side branch. Liu Fan sighed, glanced at Guan Yu out of the corner of his eye, and said worriedly: "Now the ten permanent servants are in power, supporting the party members, and confusing the Son of Heaven." The second disaster of the party is still imprisoning the party members, making countless scholars unable to contribute to the country. There are strong enemies outside, and the people inside are struggling to survive. I can't hold a sword to clear the king's side, and return the clarity of the Han Dynasty. ”
Looking at Guan Yu's originally jujube red face, he gritted his teeth and said: "The eunuch is hateful, everyone will be punished!"
As the saying goes, different things don't conspire with each other, and with the same ambition, the two suddenly sympathized with each other.
Next, Guan Yu told Liu Fan the reason why he killed people.
There is a wealthy and powerful family in Guan Yu's hometown of Xie County, but he is rich and unkind and bullies the villagers. Guan Yu couldn't get used to bullying the good, and made a move to eliminate harm for the people. After the deed was completed, because of the huge power of the Haoqiang family, it was vigorously pursued by the entire Hedong County, so that Guan Yu had to leave his hometown.
"True righteous man!" Liu Fan did not hesitate to praise again.
While speaking, Liu Fan and Guan Yu had already come to the wine house above the township.
Seeing the visitor, the bartender hurriedly ran out to help Liu Fan lead the horse. and invited Guan Yu and Liu Fan to sit in the wine room.
Guan Yu and Liu Fan came to a low table by the window in the hall, knelt down, and instructed the bartender: "Have a pot of good wine and a few snacks."
The bartender should be, retreat.
"I wonder what Senior Brother Yun plans to do next?" When the wine came up, Liu Fan picked up the wine jug and poured a glass for Guan Yu first, then drank a glass for himself, pushed the cup and changed the glass, and after the two drank it all, Liu Fan asked.
"In the early years, the family was poor, and my brother went to Zhuo County in Youzhou to make a living. There are many letters here. I haven't seen him for many years, and I miss my brother very much. I'm going to go to Zhuojun to join my brother. Guan Yu replied to Liu Fan.
Although Liu Fan's face did not change, his heart changed slightly. It seems that Liu Guan and Zhang San's alliance is not accidental.
"I can't hide it, I got acquainted with Brother Yun at first sight, and I also wanted to ask Brother Yun to conspire with me to do great things." After drinking another cup, Liu Fan directly threw an olive branch to Guan Yu.
"What's the big deal?" Guan Yu's eyes narrowed.
"If the situation is turbulent today, it is the time for our generation to make meritorious contributions, how can a man do nothing when he is alive, he should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements. Report to the country and reassure the people, this is a hero. Liu Fan said with high morale.
Guan Yu's enthusiasm boiled when he listened, and he practiced martial arts since he was a child, not just to make a contribution. Although he could hear Liu Fan's intention to call himself as a guest, he was just a civilian who had nothing to do with the murder case, and he was not disgusted with Liu Fan's solicitation, and even had these heartbeats.
No one knows what their future will be, including Liu Fan who has crossed over, the future is like an endless fog, when you finish this road, you can see another road.
Just when Guan Yu was about to swear to follow Liu Fan to conspire with him, he suddenly thought that his brother had written many letters to miss him and his hometown, and he suddenly hesitated.
Seeing Guan Yu's embarrassed face, Liu Fan knew in his heart, and hurriedly raised his wine glass and toasted Guan Yu. Drinking alcohol is indeed easy to relieve embarrassment.
"Brother Yun should go to visit his brother, this is filial piety. I salute Brother Yun's cup. ”
Guan Yu raised his glass to greet him and raised his head to drink. At this time, he was very conflicted in his heart, and he could feel Liu Fan's sincerity. can also feel that Liu Fan has a lot of ambitions. However, the expectation of the reunion of the brothers made it impossible for him to agree to Liu Fan's invitation.
The wine was drunk for two hours, and the bartender filled a few more pots of wine halfway through. After getting acquainted with Guan Yu, after talking, Liu Fan found that Guan Yu had been to a lot of places. Longxi, stable, Fufeng, and even went to Wusheling and the land of Qianghu in the north, no wonder he was able to hone such martial arts and momentum.
Liu Fan and Guan Yu drank well, and after drinking so much, they were only slightly drunk, and when they went out to be blown by the cool breeze for a while, the wine was almost sober.
"Senior Brother Yun, you and I hit it off at first sight, can you delay Senior Brother Yun for a few days, I want to invite Senior Brother Yun to live in my house for a few days, Senior Brother Yun's martial arts are outstanding, I am also a person who has practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I want to discuss with Senior Brother Yun." Walking out of the wine house, Liu Fan invited Guan Yu.
After some conversation, Liu Fan had already pondered Guan Yu very thoroughly, and he was ninety percent sure that Guan Yu would be taken under his command, just waiting for the time to come. As long as Guan Yu's arrogance can be eliminated, he will definitely be a generation of famous generals in the future.
"Then it's going to be troublesome." Guan Yu was invited. Liu Fan, as the Marquis of the Western Qin Pavilion, treated him so politely. Lin Fan had already been rejected once just now, and it would be too unreasonable to refuse again. Although Guan Yu is arrogant, he is not arrogant.
After Liu Fan asked Guan Yu to return to the Xiqin Pavilion Marquis's Mansion, the servant immediately ran out and led the horse away. Liu Fan asked the servants to clean up an upper room for Guan Yu to live in.
Then took Guan Yu to the backyard martial arts field, in his previous life, Liu Fan dared to say that he was invincible in the world when he fought alone. But in the late Han Dynasty, when the martial arts were extremely strong, even if he became stronger because of the fusion of crossing powers, Liu Fan did not dare to guarantee that he was invincible. Because he saw the mighty scene of Guan Yu fighting a hundred officers and soldiers alone, not to mention that there is a stronger man named Lu Bu in this era.
