When the Baibo Yellow Turban led by Guo Tai invaded Hedong on a large scale, the entire Central Plains was also full of wolf smoke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In addition to the three Zhang Jiao brothers controlling the area of Guangzong Julu Yecheng in Hebei Province at an astonishing speed, the land of Yuzhou has also become a hard-hit area.
First of all, in the land of Runan, there was Qu Shuai Peng Tuo with 50,000 soldiers coming to the city. There was also an army of 100,000 troops from Yingchuan Bocai who attacked Changshe. On the other side, although Zhang Mancheng's army in Nanyang and Yuan Shu were attacking each other, they formed a corner with Bocai and Peng Tuo for a while, looking at Luoyang, the eastern capital.
Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty was shocked, and quickly ordered all prefectures and counties to set up captains and guards in the eight passes outside Luoyang, including Hangu, Taigu, Guangcheng, Yique, and so on. And let the general He Jin lead the left and right Yulin troops to garrison Duting and defend Luoyang.
After that, he worshiped Lu Zhi as the general of Beizhonglang, and ordered the general of Wuhuan Zhonglang to serve as his deputy, and led the soldiers of the five schools of the Northern Army to Jizhou to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Then he adopted Huangfu Song's suggestion to contact the party, worshiped him and Zhu Jun as the left and right generals, and led an army of 40,000 to open Yingchuan.
But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, after the two divided their troops, Zhu Jun was defeated by Bocai, and the two retreated to Changshe, and for a time the Yellow Turban won a big victory, and the Han army was panicked.
Fortunately, Hebei Lu Zhi is worthy of being a Confucian general in the world, and since he went to Hebei, he has passed all the way and won successive battles. forced the momentum of Zhang Jiao to retreat outside the city of Guangzong.
But Lu Zhi was not in a hurry, but only adopted siege tactics, rested his troops, cut down trees to make siege equipment, and prepared to wait for the weather to completely warm up and fight Zhang Jiao to the death.
However, at this time, there were two special characters in Zhuo County, Jizhou.
Liu Bei had befriended Xu Shu since he and Guan Yu pursued the Yangxian bandits, but Guo Tai's reinforcements arrived and scattered the three, leaving only Liu Bei and Guan Yu to go together.
Liu Bei was originally preparing to go out after Hedong, but because Guan Yu was very powerful, he simply rejected the idea of returning to Hedong.
Guan Yu still kept Ju Yi's military order in mind, pulled Liu Xuande to sleep in the Yang County generation, and killed a thief when he appeared.
But after a long time, the two of them never found Guo Taijun's cottage in Baibo Valley, and because they were not entangled. Under Liu Bei's repeated persuasion, Guan Yu also had the idea of traveling the world with Liu Bei.
The two rode horses to Zhuo County, which was Liu Bei's hometown, and under Liu Bei's hospitality, Guan Yu also had to accompany him to travel.
Because of the Yellow Turbans in Hebei, Zhuo County, which has not yet fallen, is very cautious, and the two were repeatedly investigated by the city guards before entering the city.
Even so, the appearance of Zhuojun City is not very good, many homeless people are piled up in the corner of the city, and most of the people who come out to beg for a living are yellow-faced and thin-skinned, because of the cold winter and the ravages of the yellow turban, there is not a lot of grain and grass in Zhuo County.
"This yellow turban thief is really hateful, causing chaos in the world, and the people are not happy, but it is a pity that Hanyu has a good martial arts, but he can't serve the country."
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu beside him and said: "Yun Chang, don't worry, my teacher Lu Zhiguan worships General Beizhonglang, and at this time in the Guangzong area, I will go to the same place before resting for a day, and I will definitely be able to make contributions." ā
Guan Yu nodded, Liu Bei's master was Lu Zhi He knew it, and he was fortunate to see Lu Zhi when he was in Hedong, which was also one of the reasons why he was friendly with Liu Bei.
Not only that, although Liu Bei's force can only be regarded as second-rate,
But after a long time of getting along, Guan Yu has a good impression of this young man of his own size, whether it is in terms of behavior or righteousness to himself, Guan Yu is full of admiration.
If you really want to say who Liu Bei can compare with, Guan Yu can only think of one person, and that is Hedong Wei Zhongdao.
In the past few months, Guan Yu has become more and more respectful of Wei Zhongdao, whether it is poetry and articles or some inventions that benefit the people, just by looking at Wei Yu to help the people this winter, he can be sure that this person is a benevolent and righteous person.
I heard that his relief food had been sent to the land of Sanfu, and after thinking about it, Xu Huang and Juyi, who intercepted him that day, now have some fame, but looking at himself, Guan Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. If God were giving him a chance, he would not hesitate to choose to stay in Hedong.
But it's too late, Guan Yu has always been arrogant, and he can't bend his face when others are in power. Looking at Liu Bei beside him, Guan Yu was still a little satisfied, although Liu Bei was like a simplified version of Wei Yu, but it seemed that following this person was also a good choice.
"What is Yun Chang thinking?"
"No... It's nothing. Guan Yu replied vaguely, and then looked out of the place where the crowd gathered, "It seems that there is a post over there, brother might as well go with me to see it." ā
Liu Bei nodded in agreement, and the two squeezed out of the crowd, and after seeing it clearly, they knew that this list was a notice from Liu Yan to call the army to resist the Yellow Turban.
"This Liu Yan is the Taishou of Youzhou, after King Han Lu Gong, he is also my clansman, and this summoning must be the Yellow Turban soldier who committed the border of Youzhou."
Guan Yu glanced at Liu Bei and said: "My brother is also a relative of the Han family, and Zhuo County is not far from Youzhou, why don't you recommend yourself to go to Liu Yan's account and make some contributions?" ā
"Hey." Liu Bei sighed, "I am a down-and-out royal family, and people may not recognize me as a relative, if I go, wouldn't it be boring to look for myself, or rush to Guangzong tomorrow to invest in my teacher's insurance." ā
As soon as Guan Yu heard Liu Bei's difficulties, he no longer persuaded them, and the two were just about to turn back, but they heard a mocking voice behind them.
"I think the two of you are also powerful people, and the eldest husband doesn't report to the country, why are you sighing here?"
Liu Bei turned around, and the scene in the romance appeared.
Eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, the sound is like a huge thunder, and the momentum is like a galloping horse. No, who is Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide?
After some answers, Zhang Fei also understood the difficulties of the two, and when he heard that Liu Bei was a relative of the Han family, his eyes were even more dazzling.
After Zhang Fei said that his family was willing to invest three people to recruit Xiang Yonghao to make a career in the troubled times of the Yellow Turban, the two applauded together.
The next day, the three of them were like-minded and ready to invite each other to worship.
The peach orchard in Zhang Fei's backyard is colorful, and three hot-blooded men stand side by side, all of them are set up in front of them for the sacrifice of black cows and white horses.
"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! ā
Liu Bei and the three of them bowed heavily towards heaven and earth, hugging each other, full of emotion.
Five hundred Xiangyong has already found Qi in the village, as the eldest brother Liu Bei is holding a double-strand sword, Guan Yu declined Zhang Fei's kindness to give him some weapons because he already has the Qinglong Treasure Knife, and Zhang Fei is Zhangba snake spear in his hand is not majestic.
It's just that without Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang's funding, this group of villagers did not have any sophisticated equipment, although Liu Bei had the heart but also powerless, so he took everyone to Liu Yan's mansion according to everyone's wishes.
In a main hall, Liu Yan personally received Liu Guanzhang and the others, and after a few cold greetings, Liu Yan said: "I didn't expect that after Xuande was also a relative of the Han family, the old man had no children under his knees, so how about I think you would be a nephew?" ā
Liu Bei said with great joy, knowing that Liu Yan wanted his own hand, so he knelt heavily on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "The little nephew has seen my uncle." ā
"My lord, it's not good."
Liu Yan was very happy to admit Liu Bei, but his face sank when he saw the little school in front of him in a hurry.
"Lord, the Yellow Turban thieves outside the city are coming, and the person who came said that it was Zhang Jiao's apprentice Cheng Zhiyuan."
Liu Yan sat back on the futon, he had heard of Cheng Zhiyuan's prestige, this person had the highest martial arts among Zhang Jiao's apprentices, and he was invincible in continuous siege of the city.
"How's that okay?"
Liu Bei immediately stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, don't worry, the little nephew has Yun Changyi to help, and only more than 500 people from that township can break the enemy." ā
Liu Yan had no choice for a while, he was originally from Jiangxia, and it didn't take long for him to be transferred to Youzhou Taishou, and there was no one under his command who could take advantage of the good fight, otherwise he would not have released the list to recruit talents.
The huge gate slowly opened, and three people rode out.
I saw a person in the middle holding two swords, a white horse under his crotch, his face was like a crown of jade, and his lips were like grease.
Seeing a person on the left again, the green dragon glaive knife pointed obliquely to the ground, the green robe was added, the red phoenix eyes, the silkworm eyebrows, and the appearance was dignified.
I also saw a person in his right hand, a tiger and a tiger with a snake spear being slashed, a dazzling iron armor, a leopard's head and eyes, and a swallow's jaw and tiger whiskers.
Cheng Zhiyuan saw that the person who came was also extraordinary, so he rode out and asked, "Come to the common name?" ā
Zhang Fei laughed, the horsewhip splashed dust, and shouted: "Anti-country and traitor, An can know my life, why don't you descend early, so that you can leave all your corpses!" ā
"You!" Cheng Zhiyuan was full of anger, and a flying horse came out on the left and right, the big knife in his hand danced left and right, and shouted in the air: "That thief, dare to insult my Qu Shuai, I, Deng Mao, will go to take your dog's life today." ā
Zhang Fei didn't laugh angrily, straightened up the eight snake spears, and rushed out directly, facing Deng Mao's appearance of teeth and claws, which was a stab.
Where had Deng Mao ever seen such a fierce attack, and before the long knife in his hand had fallen, he was stabbed in the heart.
There is a way: start with your hands, straighten your heart, turn over and dismount.
Deng Mao is Cheng Zhiyuan's right-hand man, and now that he has folded Deng Mao, Cheng Zhiyuan is angry and frightened, and he can't retreat at this time, so he is ruthless and pats the horse's back and takes Zhang Fei directly.
Guan Yu, who was squinting at Danfeng's eyes on the horse's back, suddenly lifted the Qinglong Yanyue Knife suddenly, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the war horse roared and galloped towards Cheng Zhiyuan.
"The thief Hugh has to hurt my third brother!" Danfeng's eyes opened suddenly, Guan Yu's momentum was like a mountain and a river, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife was pulled with full strength, and it was a fatal blow to the enemy.
Cheng Zhiyuan was taken aback early, but now where can he react, he was caught off guard, and his head was cut off by Guan Yu, leaving only a headless corpse sitting on horseback spurting blood.
There is a way: it is started by the cloud long knife and waved into two sections.
Guan Yu rode his horse and bent down, grabbed Cheng Zhiyuan's head and raised it high to the sky and shouted: "The thief is dead, why don't you descend quickly?" ā
Most of these Yellow Turban soldiers were indiscriminate, and now when they saw Cheng Zhiyuan dead, they fled like a deflated ball.
When Liu Bei saw that the time had come, he waved his hand, and the five hundred villagers bravely chased after him, capturing countless Yellow Turban thieves.
Under Liu Yan's banquet, the three of them drank a lot, which was basically the first time in their lives that the three of them made contributions.
Liu Bei put one hand on a brother's shoulder with the smell of wine, laughed a few words, and the three of them walked crookedly towards the wing...
It's just that what they don't know is that at this moment, the three Taoyuan brothers have officially stepped onto the stage of history...
