Chapter 642: Dark Scars, Who Belongs to the Three States (4)
Ten miles away from the east of the city, a group of soldiers and horses were coming in the direction of Yecheng against the still cold spring breeze. The leader was dressed in armor, although he looked only in his thirties, but the slightly scattered hair under the helmet could not hide a trace of gray, and his appearance was not outstanding, and even his face seemed to be a little sallow because of his long journey, and he looked like a dusty man. Only the resolute look in the eyes under the helmet can make people perceive the extraordinaryness of this person.
And the three generals behind this person who are very great and also wear armor, or green robes and green scarves, red faces and long hair, or swallow-jawed tiger whiskers, leopard heads and eyes, or faces like crown jade, rich and handsome, people can see at a glance that they are extraordinary, but they are all willing to be this person, and they confirm the inference that this person is by no means mediocre.
Immediately following these four people, there were about 50 black-armored cavalrymen, solemn description, carrying guns across arrows, holding a long ash pole in front of a rider, pulling a red yellow corner flag, a big black Lishu Liu character was impressively in the column, and on this corner flag, there was a line of small characters, written "Han Youzhou Nanpi Taishou" words. It was Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and the guards who were newly listed by Gongsun Zhan as Nanpi Taishou.
"The former soldiers stopped, could it be Liu Xuande!?" Liu Bei and his party were gathering their horses to look at the blurred outline of Yecheng in the distance, but when they saw the forest next to the post road pavilion, a sentry flew out, glanced at Liu Bei's banner from a distance, put his hands on his lips, and asked.
"Humph!" Seeing that there was only one person on this sentry, and it seemed to be quite defensive. When he was still nearly seventy or eighty paces away from his army, he opened his mouth to inquire directly, and there was no trace of respect for even the false and wronged snakes. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's faces flashed with a hint of anger. Even Zhao Yun, who had always looked as usual, also frowned slightly. Only Liu Bei didn't seem to see the disrespect of this sentry rider, he still had a faint smile on his face, and even hugged his fist and gave the sentry a salute on the horse, and shouted warmly: "Please inform your superiors that it is the big Han Nanpi Taishou below." Yicheng Pavilion Marquis Liu Bei. I am very grateful for the gift of going out of the city for ten miles to greet you, and I ask you to return to it. Prepare your clothes and trim your crown. So he went to see him. ”
"Xuande Gong, the soldiers are rude, let the foot see the smile! Don't drive Tian Yuanhao in Xia Jizhou, this is Zhang Junyao, the general of Zhonglang. Hou Zun has been driving for a long time! Xuande Gong has worked hard all the way! "Reach out and don't hit the smiling man. Liu Bei's rhetoric is undoubtedly enough to give face, although Tian Feng is upright and violent, but after all, he is now in charge of a state, and Yuan Shang treats him with the courtesy of a master and father, and has a plot against Liu Bei, so he does not trust it, and Zhang Jaw appeared from the dense forest, and said to Liu Bei and others immediately.
"Unexpectedly, it was Mr. Yuan Hao, who was famous all over the world, and General Junyao, one of the four courts in Hebei, who came to see him in person. Fortunate! Luckily! Liu Bei looked abrupt and surprised, and the surprise and excitement on his face were overflowing. Tiger eyes were full of tears, and there was no indication of insincerity at all, as if he was really flattered by the arrival of Tian Feng and Zhang Jaw, and hurriedly dismounted, and said to the local governor.
"This ...... Xuande Gong raises love, and the old man is really ashamed. Rao is Tian Feng is well-informed, and he also knows that Liu Bei is afraid that what he is asking for is not small, and he has long had a fear of precaution, but now seeing Liu Bei's emotionally exposed behavior, his vigilance can't help but relax a little, and he glanced at Zhang Jaw, took a few steps forward from the horse, and also got off the horse, helped Liu Bei, and said politely.
"Xuande Gong, a certain look at the three people behind you, all of them are majestic people, I don't think they must be nameless, aren't they the other two people of the Taoyuan Three Alliances who are famous all over the world?" In contrast, it is Zhang Jaw who is much more immune to Liu Beili's actions that are not strange, seeing that although Liu Bei put his posture very low, among the three people behind Liu Bei, only the young general in silver armor saw Liu Bei salute, and after a little hesitation, he also saluted, and the green robe and green scarf, the swallow-jawed tiger beard, but only owed slightly, the disdain on his face, but from the distance of these dozens of steps, he could also see it clearly, Zhang Jaw was also a general under Yuan Shao, led the halberd warriors to make repeated exploits in the war against Gongsun Zhan, after Yuan Shao died, he has been trying to protect Yecheng without losing, and was relied on by Yuan Shang as a confidant, this heart is naturally a little higher, seeing that Liu Bei is so "sensible", but the two of them showed disdain on their faces, and immediately asked with a cold face.
"It's true that the general doesn't know anything in the world, so that General Junya can know! These two people are the second and third brothers of a certain person! "What kind of character is Liu Bei? As soon as Zhang Jaw's words came out, he noticed that Zhang Jaw's tone was wrong. Can anyone know more about the temperament of his second brother and third brother than Liu Bei, this kind of thing is not encountered once or twice, so Liu Bei was asked by Zhang Jaw, and he didn't even look back, and he didn't seem to think about it, and said: "The second brother Guan Yu is the captain of Nanpi County under a certain rule, and Zhang Fei in the three places is a drummer in the army. ”
"It's nothing! It's just that seeing that your two brothers are majestic, thinking about the relationship between the tiger and the prison, the three heroes are warm, and I feel in my heart, so I have this question, Xuande Gong doesn't have to worry too much! Seeing Liu Bei say this about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two of them didn't refute it, and it was not easy to be too embarrassed. glanced at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, responded in vain, and then stood behind Tian Feng and stopped talking. But he didn't notice that at the moment he turned around, Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes flashed with murderous aura, as well as the uncontrollable tremor on the arm that tightly grabbed Zhang Fei's arm that was about to come out.
It's no wonder that Guan Yu and the others are like this. At that time, the three brothers formed a righteous alliance in Taoyuan, respecting Liu Bei, who claimed to be a relative of the Han family, as his brother, and made a vow to make a great career, what an ambition. After the battle of the Yellow Turban, it was also a killing heart, but because of the problem of origin, it first made Dong Zhuo's national thief laugh, and because he had no money to do it, he was only appointed as a small county lieutenant.
After that, Lu Bu was the leader of the Tiger Prison Pass, and he actually forced the Eighteenth Road Princes to dare to take the lead, and these three people valued the opportunity, and they didn't care about any battlefield rules, taking advantage of the opportunity that Lu Bu had just been fighting the wheels and not resting, and took turns to go up again, three fights and one down, although it still did not hurt Lu Bu at all, but it also forced back the arrogant Lu Wenhou at that time, and was looking forward to the Eighteenth Road Princes to take this opportunity to rush up to break through the Tiger Prison and capture Lu Bu. At that time, when the goal is achieved, no one will talk about what means the three of them used to win, and the merits of the three heroes against Lu Bu will really fall on the heads of the three people. It will become a strong political capital after the success of the alliance.
But who would have thought that with the defeat of Dong Zhuo in history, his reputation became more and more infamous, and he offended too many people under the sudden rush from left to right, and there was no foothold in "legal theory", and Lu Bu, who gradually stepped on the fall of Baimen Tower, turned his luck because of the arrival of a small butterfly, not only was he trapped in a corner because of the influence of Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun, but on the contrary, everyone was not optimistic, the yellow scarf was raging, and the rumors of Qingzhou mixed with it as a place of death rose. In just a few years, when Liu Bei was still fighting under Gongsun Zhan, complacent with the allegiance of 20,000 Youzhou soldiers, calculating the war between Gongsun Zhan and Gongsun Kang, and getting the territory of Nanpi and Bohai and complacent, Lu Bu had grown into a pattern of controlling the four states and deterring half of the Han Dynasty, and there was one of the five parts of the world. Admiring the strong and despising the weak, this is the nature of human beings, and when it comes to the three heroes fighting Lu Bu, the tone means that it is no longer because Lu Bu has the meaning of "Lu Bu among the people, the red rabbit among the horses". Especially whether it is Liu Bei or Cao Cao, in the next few confrontations with Lu Bu, they did not eat good fruits, and the old things that made the three of them proud in the early years have long become an old shame. It was Liu Bei, who still maintained a faint smile on his face, and there was a trace of fluctuation that was imperceptible.
"Aha! Xuande Gong Gu remembered the original friendship with the lord, this time from Nanpi came all the way to make friends with the Yuan family for eternity, and I and other people in Jizhou from the son below, are all grateful for Xuande Gong's benevolence and righteousness! It's just that Xuande Gong is hundreds of miles away, and it must be a tiring carriage and horse, and we are waiting for us to be kind but prevent guests from here, but it is very rude! Junyao, quickly order people to line up and lead Xuande Gong into the city to rest! Although Tian Feng also had a good impression of Liu Bei, who was in the camp of Yuan Shao's sworn enemy Gongsun Zan before, and had several war frictions with Jizhou, after all, he had another plan this time, so he didn't care much about Zhang Jaw's words, and it seemed that he had touched the weakness of Liu Bei's three brothers.
"What Yuan Haogong said is that he is indeed a little tired all the way here, so there is General Lao Junyao!" Compared with Tian Feng, Liu Bei came here with a plan, since Tian Feng's big ladder has been placed in front of him, Liu Bei naturally will not ignore it, it seems that there is no trace of mustard at all and smiled gently, Liu Bei arched his hand and said.
"Well said, well said!" Zhang Jaw does not have Tian Feng's seven tricks and exquisite heart, although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who did intend to stab and drag it just now, but they really didn't mean to be sarcastic, otherwise they wouldn't have been softened by Liu Bei, so they also went down the slope. But he didn't know that what he said later was the sharp weapon that stabbed Liu Bei's three brothers. In addition, whether it was Liu Bei or Tian Feng, the verbal confrontation was actually only a momentary matter, so until this time, Zhang Jaw did not realize that he was already among the three Liu Bei brothers, and was regarded as an "unfriendly person" and was written down.
