Chapter 56: The First Meeting with Liu Bei
Liu Yong didn't know that in fact, Qiao Xuan's heart loved and valued him very much. If Liu Yong can stay www.biquge.info he even plans to recruit Liu Yong as his son-in-law and match Da Qiao Xu to him. Liu Yong is not only the life-saving benefactor of their whole family, but also cultivates both civil and military affairs and has extraordinary knowledge. Of course, what attracts Qiao Xuan the most is Liu Yong's conduct. He can be so generous to his subordinates, let alone his own daughter? I have no children under my knees, and I will have someone to rely on when I am old. It's a pity that Liu Yong is determined to go out to make contributions, and making his daughter happy and happy is Qiao Xuan's bottom limit, he will never allow his daughter and son-in-law to be on their own side and suffer, and he is unwilling to entrust his daughter's future to a person who is fighting everywhere and facing danger to his life at any time, which is also the reason why Qiao Xuan was initially unwilling to agree to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's marriage in history. Therefore, Qiao Xuan was reluctant, but he didn't force him to stay, but just sighed secretly.
Da Qiao leaned on the edge of the table and was silent, Xiao Qiao frowned and said, "Why did the eldest brother go to Xuzhou?" Isn't it okay to stay here? β
Da Qiao was sad for a while, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, but he still didn't say a word. Xiao Qiao said angrily: "I'll ask Brother Liu." Da Qiao hurriedly pulled Xiao Qiao's sleeve and said, "Sister, don't go." Brother Liu is talented and ambitious. He is like the wild goose that my sister planted today, it is a wild goose with wings spread high, and it would be a pity if he stayed in our little pond. β
In fact, Da Qiao was wrong, Liu Yong is not a person with lofty ambitions, let alone an ambitious person, he is just an ordinary person. If it is a peaceful and prosperous era, maybe Liu Yong will stay in Fuyi and not leave. The reason why he took this road was only because this was a troubled time, and he knew that only by strengthening his strength and gaining the approval of the imperial court could he protect those who cared about him, loved him, and respected him. This is a responsibility that a man should and must assume.
"Brother Liu has such a great ability, and it is indeed a pity not to make contributions." Xiao Qiao nodded, suddenly looked at Da Qiao and said, "Sister, are you in love with Brother Liu?" You can't bear to let him go. β
Da Qiao was ashamed and anxious, and argued forcefully: "Qian'er, what are you talking about? β
Xiao Qiao sighed and said leisurely: "Sister, don't admit it." As soon as you say that Brother Liu is leaving, your look and tone ......"
Da Qiao was even more ashamed, and said weakly: "You see it? β
Xiao Qiao sighed: "Sister, we are sisters. I'm not stupid, I'm not blind, how can you hide that little bit of thought from me? β
Da Qiao was ashamed and anxious, and said in surprise: "Then Brother Liu, and Yun'er have also found out?" β
Xiao Qiao said: "I don't think Sister Yun'er should know, but I don't know if Brother Liu knows or not." β
Da Qiao thought about it, the shame on his face disappeared slightly, and said, "Brother Liu shouldn't know either." Or I'll be ashamed to death. β
Xiao Qiao said: "If Brother Liu doesn't know his sister's thoughts, then won't you miss it?" I'll ask Brother Liu! β
Da Qiao hurriedly grabbed Xiao Qiao's sleeve and said busily: "Qian'er, do you want to shame your sister?" If I let my eldest brother and Yun'er know, I won't be able to live. β
Xiao Qiao also said anxiously: "Brother Liu is leaving, if you don't say it, what if your father gives you to someone else's family?" β
Da Qiao sighed and said, "Forget it." This is the life of our women. Besides, Yun'er and Brother Liu had already made a marriage, so I shouldn't have such a mind, so it should be a sweet dream. β
Xiao Qiao sighed in his heart, and there was nothing he could do, so he had to say: "Then let's take one step at a time." β
Although I was reluctant to give up, the time of farewell still came as scheduled. Da Qiao and Dong Yun endured their grief and handed Liu Yong the clothes that had been made for days one by one.
Liu Yong saw that the eyes of the three women were red, and he didn't know whether to cry or rush to make clothes overnight to boil red, these clothes were inside and outside, cold and hot, it seemed that he didn't put much effort into it, Liu Yong's heart was also both moved and reluctant, ruthless, arched his hand to Qiao Xuan, and with a wave, led his subordinates to set off.
These hundreds of people walking on the road are too dazzling, Liu Yong is afraid that there will be some misunderstanding and cause inconvenience, so he first asked Dong Xi to take a squad of people to Xuzhou to report first, and he took the team to walk slowly. On this day, about five miles away from Xiaopei, he saw a group of people in front of him, Liu Yong saw Dong Xi first, and his heart was settled. Look at the person next to Dong Xian, wearing a parrot green scarf, wearing a parrot green robe, more than nine feet tall, his face is like a heavy jujube, lying silkworm eyebrows, Danfeng eyes, and five locks of long hair floating on his chest, majestic. Liu Yong could also think of who this was with his eyes closed, Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang were also.
"Sure enough, it's General Guan, really like a god." Zhou Cang looked at Guan Yu, his eyes straightened.
Liu Yong turned over and dismounted, walked to Guan Yu, knelt down on one knee, and arched his hand: "Liu Yong has seen General Guan." β
Guan Yu hurriedly dismounted, helped Liu Yong up, and said with a smile: "Don't dare." When my eldest brother heard that Chongru led the troops to vote, he was very happy, and he specially ordered Guan to wait here. β
Prior to this, Liu was bequeathed by Tao Qian to serve as the pastor of Xuzhou, and soon took in Lu Bu, who had nothing to live after the defeat. Unbeknownst to him, in April of the second year of Jian'an, Lu Bu took the opportunity to seize Xuzhou, but drove Liu Bei away. Liu Bei had no choice but to switch to Cao Cao. Cao Cao treated Liu Bei well, and the Son of Heaven named Liu Bei as the pastor of Yuzhou, gave him 3,000 men and horses, 10,000 grains, and after rearming, let him enter Xiaopei, and then he led the army to arrive. When Cao Cao had just assembled his army and was about to raise troops to destroy Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu used Jia Xu as a strategist, connected with Liu Biao, and stationed troops in Wancheng, wanting to send troops to capture Xudu. Cao Cao did not dare to make enemies on all sides, so he had to send an envoy to Xuzhou, named LΓΌ Bu as the general of Pingdong, and let him make peace with Liu Bei, temporarily stabilizing LΓΌ Bu. Subsequently, Cao Cao raised 150,000 troops and personally recruited Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu surrendered and rebelled, and the two sides fought back and forth several times, and finally ended with Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao defeating and retreating.
In the same year, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun, Huainan, and led the fifteenth army to conquer LΓΌ Bu in person, but was defeated by Chen Deng's envoy. Then, Cao Cao joined forces with Liu Bei and LΓΌ Bu to capture Shouchun, and Yuan Shu fled. Cao Cao fought repeatedly, people were sleepy and tired, and there was no food and grass, and Zhang Xiu kept intruding behind his back, so Cao Cao had to let Lu Bu return to Xuzhou, Liu Bei returned to Xiaopei, and the two families were temporarily peaceful. The 500 elite soldiers led by Liu Yong are a send-off for Liu Bei, who lives in the small city of Pei County, which lacks soldiers and major generals.
"Liu Yong introduced several military marquis for General Guan." Liu Yong said to Zhou Cang, "You come to meet General Guan." β
Zhou Cang couldn't wait for a long time, so he ran over first and bowed his head.
Guan Yu hurriedly held Zhou Cang's arm and said, "How can Guan dare to accept such a big gift from a strong man." β
Zhou Cang bowed and said: "The villain's surname is Zhou Mingcang, and he was originally a subordinate of Zhang Bao of the Yellow Turban. Once witnessed the general Tianwei, Zhou admired it very much, and today I can see that although Zhou has no regrets, he has no regrets. β
Liu Yong smiled secretly in his heart, this Zhou Cang is a super fan of Guan Yu, so he should say, "Zhou made an oath early to follow the general sooner or later, I hope the general will not give up, accept him as a pawn, and be willing to die with the whip and stirrups sooner or later!" β
Unexpectedly, I saw Zhou Cang respectfully kowtow three times, then stood up and didn't speak again. Liu Yong was puzzled for a while, so he whispered in Zhou Cang's ear: "Isn't it Brother Zhou's wish to follow General Guan around in his life?" Why don't you go? β
Zhou Cang grinned and said with a smile: "If I hadn't met Brother Liu, I would definitely follow General Guan." Now that I'm by my brother's side, I'm very comfortable, so I don't have to go. β
Liu Yong was very moved when he heard this, and took Zhou Cang's hand and said, "Thank you Brother Zhou for your trust." β
Zhou Cang smiled and said, "Brother Liu, if you let me go, I will have to take a few more looks at General Guan's divine might." Liu Yong was speechless.
At this time, Pei Yuanshao and others also finished introducing themselves, and Liu Yong led Guan Yu to the sergeants. Guan Yu saw that these hundreds of people were burly, walked in unison, and were full of spirit, showing that they were well-trained in peacetime, and they were really rare elite soldiers. Guan Yu was even more overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "I didn't expect Chongru's subordinates to be so strong!" Come on, come on, Guan will take you to see my eldest brother. β
Liu Bei is very different from the image of a wrecked waste given to us in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in fact, he is very good at employing people, and is known for his benevolence and generosity.
Liu Yong saw that Liu Bei was seven feet tall, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyebrows were like ink, his eyes were like stars, his nose was straight, and he was really a beautiful man. Behind Liu Bei, a big black man was like a half-cut iron tower, with a black face, a pair of big ringed eyes, and a beard on his cheeks.
"I've seen Liu Yuzhou, I've seen the three generals." Liu Yong bowed.
Liu Bei hurriedly picked up Liu Yong and sighed: "There are many heroes in the world, Liu Gongzi is the only one who has a blue eye for Liu Bei, and Liu Bei is very grateful." β
Liu Bei's move was not without reason, at this time he only had Xiaopei, a small city that had no danger to defend, only a few generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and thousands of soldiers were borrowed from Cao Cao. In this case, there are still people who come to vote, and they also designate Liu Bei's banner to vote, and they still bring more than 500 well-trained and strong soldiers, how can this not make Liu Bei extremely happy and excited.
Liu Yong also sent 10 pairs of porcelain horses, porcelain rabbits and other playthings, 5 sets of hairpin pastel porcelain, 10 pieces of soap, 10 jars of secret wine, thousands of pieces of paper of various colors, and 10 boxes of exquisite pastries. Liu Bei couldn't put it down, and gave ten swords and fifty war horses, and then ordered someone to set up a banquet to wash the dust for Liu Yong and his party.
After drinking, Liu Bei asked: "Chongru, if there are many heroes today, but there is no place to stand, there are no available soldiers, and the people are light, why does Gongzi favor Liu Bei alone?" β
Liu Yong smiled and said: "Liu Yuzhou said that there are many heroes in the world, and Liu Yong does not dare to agree. What is a hero? Ambitious, broad-minded, well-thought-out, well-thought-out, able to respond to a hundred calls when ascending, and able to make decisions immediately in case of trouble, such a person can be called a hero. β
"Oh? According to Childe, there are only a few people who can be called heroes? β
"Exactly! The tiger may be called a hero, but it is not necessarily a hero. Liu Yong thinks that there are only three people in the world who can be called heroes today. Liu Yong said in his heart, in fact, Sun Quan can also be called a hero, but unfortunately he is not yet an adult.
"Which three?" Liu Bei was shocked, there are so many famous people in the world, why are there only three people who can be called heroes? Liu Bei consulted. Guan, Zhang, Dong Xi, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others all pricked up their ears and looked at Liu Yong to see how he answered.
