Chapter 176: Time also, luck also

Thinking of the fact that Guan Yu once said to Sun Quan's envoy in history, "The tiger girl can marry a dog", Xu Chu is not surprised by this.

Seeing that Liu Bei and the others were full of wind and frost, and thinking that the weather had not yet warmed up, Xu Chu asked everyone to move to the hall where the stove was raised.

Liu Bei had nothing to do, and said respectfully: "Listen to it." ”

Xu Chu led the way, and the group arrived in the hall, and after the guests and hosts sat down, Xu Chu ordered people to serve hot soup to Liu Bei and others to relieve the cold. But seeing that Liu Bei and Jian Yong were sitting on the table for a long time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei refused to sit down, standing behind Liu Bei, Xu Chu smiled and said: "Guan and Zhang Erjun are both strong men, how can they stand beside them?" Please take a seat. ”

Guan Yu squinted Danfeng's eyes and didn't look at Xu Chu; Zhang Fei said with a humble smile: "The general is the Venerable, and the elder brother is my elder, Fei does not dare to sit in front of the Venerable Chief." ”

Xu Chu really convinced Liu Bei.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are so heroic, but Liu Bei can 'train' the two of them like guards, and this ability is far inferior to Cao Cao. But even so, seeing that Guan Yu finally looked up at people with the tip of his nose, and sometimes he didn't even bother to look at it, Xu Chu felt annoyed.

Liu Bei saw that Xu Chu's expression seemed to be a little stiff, and he secretly sighed in his heart that his second brother's temperament was too arrogant, so he hurriedly got up and turned back to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and said, "The general has good intentions, so let's sit at the table." ”

In this way, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saluted Xu Chu and sat down.

"Guan Yu and Zhang Fei should be the most difficult corners in history......" Xu Chu smiled bitterly in his heart.

Liu Bei is a dragon and a phoenix among the people, and his ambitions are lofty, Xu Chu has not risen half a point to recruit Liu Bei as a confidant. In fact, Liu Bei is just as Xu Chu thought, he came to Liang County this time to win a little reputation for himself and lay a foundation for stretching his ambitions in the future.

I don't have any thoughts about Liu Bei, but if I don't have any thoughts about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it's too self-deceptive.

However, after a short period of contact, I found that the relationship between Liu, Guan, and Zhang is not only that they eat at the same table and sleep together, Liu Bei is simply the belief of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The hot soup was presented, and Xu Chu invited Liu Bei and others to drink it together. A bowl of hot soup was in the stomach, Liu Bei and the others turned a lot ruddy, and Xu Chu asked why they came to Liang County.

Liu Bei had already thought of his rhetoric, and blurted out: "I waited for the four to say goodbye to General Gongsun, and when I heard that Yuan Benchu had raised troops in Hanoi, I went to serve, but the clinker was unlucky, and I didn't see Yuan Benchu, so I turned back to Wei County and went south to Yanzhou." It is also a coincidence, on the way I heard that the general came to Yingchuan from Lujiang County, and I and the other four people have long admired the general's name, so they went to Yangzhai, and after hearing that the general had sent troops here, they came over non-stop. God's mercy, this time I finally didn't let Beikong run a trip. ”

What he said was full of emotion, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong were all sad when they heard it, it was Xu Chu, and they also felt that Liu Bei was really not easy.

Liu Bei's so-called 'bad luck' is obviously a lie, and judging from Cao Cao's reaction, it is even more impossible for Yuan Shao, who has a more noble status, to take care of Liu Bei, let alone reuse them. The four of them are full of blood and blood, but they have been repeatedly blinded along the way, and they may have given up long ago if they were ordinary people.

This is what makes Liu Bei unusual.

Liu Bei also has another unusual place, that is, his luck is particularly good.

Cao Cao, who became an ally of him, Liu Bei, who was a newcomer, and Sun Jian, who was about to come, were all resolute and resolute, and they all had a cadre of dragons and tigers under their command. But after traveling to the end of the Han Dynasty, Xu Chu felt that in terms of talents, Liu Bei actually had the best luck among the three people.

The time when Cao Cao really started the incident was now, and all Cao Xiahou were good talents, but it was the convenience brought by Cao Cao's family, and it could not be counted as luck. Moreover, the famous Cao Wei's 'Five Sons and Good Generals', except for Lejin, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Yu Ban all came from others, which naturally cannot be said to be Cao Cao's luck.

Let's talk about Sun Jian. Sun Jian became famous at a young age, and he became famous early, following Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen and others to fight in the Quartet.

Only Liu Bei, who made friends with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei without fame and without being famous, and they were like siblings, this luck was simply against the sky. Imagine that if there were no Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, even if Liu Bei had the ability and ambition, in the face of the officialdom of the late Han Dynasty and the chaotic world, he might not be able to achieve a big thing.

It can only be said that the time is also, the luck is also, Liu Guanzhang and the three of them met, and they really won countless times in the world.

Of course, Xu Chu is not qualified to say that Liu Bei, regardless of the identity of the traverser, his luck is the best.

Xu Chu noticed that Liu Bei and the others now look very young, about thirty years or so, such as Guo Jia, Xi Zhong, Yao Sheng and others in the hall, it is bound to be difficult to imagine that these three people are heroes and heroes who can dominate the world and dominate the world, and Liu Bei is a real dragon who has been displaced for half his life without losing his ambition and perseverance can eventually achieve great things!

While thinking, while courteously persuading the guests, after talking for a while, I didn't realize that it was time for dinner.

Xu Chu immediately beckoned outside the hall to prepare a meal, and after a while, the meal came up, and everyone in the hall had a case, and a food box was placed on the case.

"Gentlemen, please."

Xu Chu invited with his hand, picked up a flatbread and ate it.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong were very surprised.

The meals in the food box are very simple, one dish, one cake, one sauce. Before coming to Liang County, Liu Bei and others did not inquire about Xu Chu's past deeds, especially in Yingchuan, Xu Chu is a household name, and his experience can be easily inquired. Xu Chu is a martial artist, successively served as the Taishou of Yingchuan and Lujiang counties, once killed Yang Zhai Zhang and Huang Liang, and went to Luoyang to welcome the Son of Heaven back to the palace, such a young and ambitious person, just eat these? He's only in his twenties.

Liu Bei himself served as An Xiwei, and also served as Sima under Gongsun Zhan's tent, and his daily food was indeed similar to Xu Chu. But Liu Bei will not compare himself with Xu Chu, Xu Chu's current status is almost the same as that of Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Chan is in the Northland and often travels abroad, but his daily diet is not so simple, and it is extravagant and not enough for outsiders.

Not only Liu Bei, but even Guan Yu, who was extremely arrogant, also had a great change in his opinion of Xu Chu after seeing the food in the food box. Although Guan Yu is arrogant, his heart is loyal, and when he thought of something, he said it casually: "The general governs the army, and there is the style of Wu Qi, a famous general in ancient times." ”

Xu Chu almost choked when he bit the ordinary flatbread, and it turned out that Guan Yu would also praise people.

Xu Chu is not a person who doesn't know how to enjoy, but to be honest, the level of cooking at the end of the Han Dynasty, no matter how tossed, is like this for him, in this case, it is better to eat more shabbyly, and it is better to have a good reputation.

"When you are out fighting, you should share weal and woe with the soldiers, Guan Jun is serious. If you are not accustomed to eating, I will ask someone to rectify what you want to eat. ”

Liu Bei put down his chopsticks and said solemnly: "The general's meal is simple, it's too late for me to admire, how can I not get used to it?" ”

Guo Jia interjected and said with a smile: "Liu Jun doesn't know, since the contemptuous lord has been on the expedition, he has often eaten and eaten with the soldiers, and even the generals under his account have followed suit. ”
