Chapter 14 Zhu Biao and Hu Lao
It turned out to be Zhu Biao! The third son of Zhujiazhuang, the fiancΓ© of Hu Sanniang in the Water Margin, was killed when Liangshan beat Zhujiazhuang.
Liu Yuan was surprised, he didn't expect that not only the people of Qingfeng Mountain had come to this world, but even Zhu Biao had come, and it was even very likely that the whole village of Zhujiazhuang had arrived.
I don't know if Zhu Biao and Hu Sanniang are married in this world. If you get married, it will be difficult to do, and it will be difficult to realize the idea of taking Zhujiazhuang by accepting Hu Sanniang.
For taking the woman's route, Liu Yuan has no psychological pressure. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, all took the route of women. One took Lu Pheasant, and the other won the Queen of Bigfoot. What's not to do with yourself?
Take Hu Sanniang, give her a happy marriage, and a noble life. At least Liu Yuan felt that he was much more noble than Liu Bang, and he couldn't do anything to push his wife and children out of the carriage in order to escape for his life.
There is no bottom line for this kind of person! Maybe, sometimes meanness is a necessary quality for emperors, but Liu Yuan just doesn't do that. I thought to myself that I was here to play games, even if I bet my life on them, games are always games.
There is no reason to abandon morality and love for the sake of games. Liu Yuan also wanted to chant a poem at this time; "Life is precious, but morality is even more valuable. If it is for love, both can be thrown. β
Zhu Biao is still quite strong! has reached the top level of the second-level generals. Hu Sanniang is not his opponent.
Hu Sanniang's maximum force is 90, and after 50 rounds, the force is reduced to 85 or 80. And Zhu Biao's force fluctuated between 88 and 91, with an average force of 89.5. If the two go head-to-head, the first fifty rounds of the two sides are almost tied, and it is impossible for Hu Sanniang to win Zhu Biao with a force advantage of 0.5.
But after fifty rounds, she's at the bottom of her game and will never be able to turn the tide of passivity. Because after fifty rounds, Hu Sanniang couldn't hold on for another fifty rounds with Zhu Biao's average force of 89.5 with 80 rounds, so her force could never recover to 90.
If you hold on with 85 force, it will be useless, and sooner or later you will still fail. In fact, there is no need to compare at all, the basic force is 3 poor, half a level shorter, and it is difficult to make up for it with skills.
Of course, the gap between Hu Sanniang and Zhu Biao's force is very small, and they can remain undefeated for a long time, and there is absolutely no problem if they can't beat the horse and escape back to their own formation.
After Liu Yuan made a comparison between Hu Sanniang and Zhu Biao in his heart, he clearly recognized Zhu Biao's force.
Seeing his father come out to greet him, Hu Sanniang happily rode a horse and galloped a few steps, and when she arrived in front of her father, she turned over and dismounted, and shouted crisply, "Dad!" β
Old Man Hu nodded slightly, gently pulled Hu Sanniang to his side, nodded to Zhu Biao, and pulled Hu Sanniang to Liu Yuan and his party. Seeing this, Zhu Biao followed.
Old Man Hu greeted Liu Yuan first, arched his hand and said: "I have heard of this big victory, thanks to Mr. Liu's overall planning, the old man has thanked him here." β
"How dare you! How dare you be! Liu Yuan hurriedly humbled himself, "And it depends on the strong soldiers of the Hu family, and the strong and strong brothers of Hu Cheng and Sanniang, so that they can achieve victory." As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Biao.
The old man Hu understood and introduced: "This is Zhu Biao, the third son of the owner of the Zhuangzi Zhujiazhuang next door, and he is strong in martial arts. is far stronger than the dog Hucheng, and even Sanniang is not an opponent.
This time Sanniang went out, the defense force in the village was slightly weak, and Zhu Biaoxian's nephew took the initiative to bring people to help, and Hujiazhuang was very grateful.
"Zhu Biaoxian's nephew, you should have heard it just now, this is Mr. Liu Guoqiang, Hu Cheng and Sanniang both respect him."
Zhu Biao heard the old man praise himself, he was slightly proud, glanced at Liu Yuandao, and said, "The old man has won the award." Sanniang's martial arts, I also admire it very much. Mr. Liu can be recognized by Brother Hu and Sanniang, he must have the ability. Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang have always been helping each other, and the old man said thank you, and he saw the outside. β
Zhu Biao's evaluation of Hu Sanniang was not modest. In his opinion, Hu Sanniang's martial arts are comparable to him. It's just that as a woman, she lacks strength and can't fight for a long time. For him, a woman like Hu Sanniang with superb martial arts and good looks is difficult to find a second one in the world.
In fact, a woman like Hu Sanniang, in such an era, how many people look down on it. Superb martial arts, courage, and battlefield; Gentle personality, virtuous and virtuous, can run a family. Within dozens of miles of Fang Yuan, who knows Hu Sanniang's young talents, which one doesn't dream of marrying Hu Sanniang?
Zhujiazhuang is the strongest Zhuangzi in Fangyuan within dozens of miles, and of course he has the most confidence to fight for Hu Sanniang. Zhu Biao, as the youngest son of the owner of Zhujiazhuang, is the only unmarried man, and he is not very old with Hu Sanniang, so he naturally regards Hu Sanniang as a bag.
"Although I am a scholar and don't know martial arts, I can also see that Brother Zhu has peerless martial arts." Liu Yuan echoed a sentence on his lips, but he slandered in his heart: Boy, you want to compete with me for Sanniang, your hair hasn't grown yet!
As a mature man, Liu Yuan certainly knows that when his strength is not as good as his opponent, he must avoid clashes with his opponent head-on. But of course it is not enough to dodge, what to do next, Liu Yuan has already planned. The pursuit of Hu Sanniang has been put on the agenda by Liu Yuan.
After everyone entered the village, Hujiazhuang held a grand banquet to welcome Liu Yuan and thank Zhu Biao. Everyone was very happy to hear that Liu Yuan had assisted them in defeating the bandits blocking the transportation route and had brought back a lot of food and strategic items.
Liu Yuan seized this opportunity, gave full play to the amount of alcohol and communication skills he had cultivated for a long time, and used his knowledge that surpassed everyone else for nearly two thousand years, and was like a fish in water at the banquet. Through only one banquet, Liu Yuan got acquainted with all the powerful figures in Hujiazhuang, and also showed everyone a knowledgeable and good Liu Yuan.
Moreover, Liu Yuan and Zhu Biao also get along well. Zhu Biao is a typical martial artist, straightforward and good at drinking, and after a few glasses of wine, he will call Liu Yuan a brother. Zhu Biao also invited Liu Yuan to Zhujiazhuang as a guest, and Liu Yuan readily agreed.
Zhu Biao has a good impression of Liu Yuan, and Liu Yuan's impression of Zhu Biao is not bad, he really regards Zhu Biao as a friend. After all, love rivals are not life and death enemies, and enemies and friends are sometimes not absolute. For his friends, Liu Yuan never resorted to indiscriminate means, and he decided to compete fairly with Zhu Biao.
After the banquet, Zhu Biao led his men and horses back to Zhujiazhuang, and the old man Hu met Liu Yuan alone. Old Man Hu asked Liu Yuan about his hometown, and Liu Yuan prevaricated. After a few more small talks, the two got to the point.
"Mr. Liu, as a guest of Scholar Cai Yong, what are your plans for going out this time?" Old Man Hu asked.
"Elder Hu, I have nothing to hide, my goal is a bit big, in short, I want to build up my own armed forces and contribute to the country." Liu Yuan replied.
"Oh?" Old Man Hu's eyes burst out with a golden light, "Can you tell me more about it?" β
"Absolutely. However, I would like to ask Elder Hu first, what do you think of the current situation in the country? Liu Yuandao.
"What about the current situation of the country......" The old man stroked his beard, and after careful consideration, he said: "Personally, I think that the current situation of the Han is not as good as before. The country is going downhill! β
"I agree with Elder Hu's opinion. It's just that I think Hu Lao is still a little light. Nowadays, the imperial court is corrupt, the eunuchs and relatives are constantly fighting, the border wars are continuous, the state affairs are getting weaker and weaker, and there is a great drought, and the grain is not collected but the taxes are not reduced. In this case it can cause social unrest. Therefore, my ideal is to build an armed force and support the community. Liu Yuan replied.
After listening to Liu Yuan's words, the old man Hu was speechless for a long time. Liu Yuan looked at him with a smile and said no more words.
After a long time, the old man Hu said: "Mr. Liu is very human, at the age of less than twenty, he can see more clearly than my old man in his forties. No wonder I am so admired by my children. However, Mr. Liu, don't blame the old man for being abrupt. Are you really just building up your arms to help the community? Unselfish? β
"I see that Guizhuang's force is not bad, and I admire that Hu Lao can establish such an army. I think my purpose in building up the armament is the same as that of Hu Lao. Liu Yuan did not answer positively.
"Old man, I set up an arm to defend Hujiazhuang. And what did Mr. Liu defend when he established the army? Is it Mr. Cai, or Mr. Liu, yourself? Old Man Hu didn't show much affection this time, and directly questioned Liu Yuan.
"I built up my arms to defend my country! Country, country, without country, where is home? Liu Yuan calmly coped.
