Chapter 21 Liu Bei's Solicitation (II)
Guan Yu heard Wang Ping compare Wen Chou to a clown, and used this to sarcastically mock himself and suddenly wanted to do it, Wang Ping didn't wait for him to get close and suddenly got up and shouted: "General Guan is so big-minded, if you are not satisfied with the ranking of this martial arts list, you can go to the four friends of Jingzhou to theorize what, you will show off your power to me, an unknown junior!" ”
Guan Yu was itchy by Wang Pingyi's teeth but didn't dare to punish him, firstly, he was afraid that others would say afterwards that he had damaged his reputation by relying on the strong and bullying the weak, and secondly, he saw that Zhao Yun was preparing to attack next to him, and Liu Bei was trying his best to recruit Zhao Yun at this time, if he really fought with Zhao Yun, he was afraid that it would not be good to explain to Liu Bei. Wang Ping deliberately provoked when he saw this joint, but he wanted Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to fight, so that he could better persuade Zhao Yun not to work for Liu Bei.
Zhang Fei looked rude on the outside, but he was rough and fine, he looked at the tense atmosphere on the field, so he pretended to be slightly drunk and walked to the middle of Guan Yu and Wang Ping and said: "What bullshit Yuedan review, I, Zhang Yide, have never cared about any ranking, I may not be able to compare with Lu Bu in force, but I have never been afraid of anyone when I drink, Brother Wang dares to compete with me!" Zhang Fei said and secretly squeezed Wang Ping's eyes, Wang Ping has always had a good impression of Zhang Fei, seeing that he intends to resolve the embarrassment on the field, it is not good to save his face, so he picked up the wine and drank a glass with him.
Zhang Fei saw Wang Ping drinking and praised loudly, and then pretended to be mysterious: "Brother Wang, you said that my second brother is ranked low, this is indeed true, but the world doesn't know that my second brother Guan Yunchang has a nirvana, if he uses it, then Lu Bu can't stop it. ”
I only heard Guan Yu snort coldly behind me and said: "Why should the third brother tell outsiders about my tricks, as if I have to earn the first place in that Yuedan evaluation." Zhang Fei retorted: "The second brother is wrong, these two little brothers are going to serve the country with my brothers in the future, and we will be good friends in the future, so if there are any secret things, I naturally have to share them with my good friends, otherwise I will always hold them in my stomach and let out stinky farts." Everyone was amused by Zhang Fei's jokes, and Mi Fang, as the main family, also stood up at the right time to invite a drink, and the tense atmosphere was overturned.
The banquet became more enthusiastic under the drive of Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu also put down his body and came to Zhao Yun to drink, but he was arrogant by nature, he always spoke not so likable, he said that he didn't care about those people on the martial arts list, his goal was to become a master of the god realm, but he admired Zhao Yun very much, he was able to break through to the late congenital stage at a young age, and said that when he found Tong Fei, he would be able to go into battle with Zhao Yun to kill the enemy, but Wang Ping was not mentioned in his words. And Wang Ping only cared about drinking and bragging with Zhang Fei, and didn't pay attention to Guan Yu at all.
Now Tong Fei's whereabouts have become Zhao Yun's weakness, and Wang Ping, as a bystander, can clearly see Liu Bei's treacherous intentions, Liu Bei first attracted Zhao Yun's emotions by releasing Tong Fei's news, and then retreated to worry about Tong Fei's situation in exchange for Zhao Yun's gratitude to him, and finally personally wrote a letter to send someone to Youzhou to contact and made an agreement that Zhao Yun would not take refuge in others at least in the short term, at this time Liu Bei had enough time to contact Tong Fei, When Tong Fei is completely subdued, he will be able to ask him to falsely pass on his master's orders, so that Zhao Yun will serve Liu Bei with all his heart.
It's just that Liu Bei can't be blamed for being treacherous, after all, a master in the late congenital stage is a huge help for any camp, but Wang Ping really can't get used to seeing Liu Bei and Guan Yu acting together to deceive them.
After a while, Liu Bei and Mi Zhu turned back, they were followed by a person, this person is not very old, but his face is dark and yellow, which makes people look very uncomfortable, his name is Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi is Liu Bei's guard captain, whenever Liu Bei calls people to run around, he takes the guards to break off, and the danger of life and death again and again makes him grow up quickly, and now he is comparable to Guan Zhang's two generals, this person is extremely loyal to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei always likes to keep him by his side and ask him to do some secret intelligence work.
When Liu Bei returned to his seat, he passed the letter to Tong Fei to Wang Ping and the two brothers to watch, Wang Ping glanced at it a few times, and saw that the letter began with Liu Bei's longing for Tong Fei, and then wrote that his brothers were ordered by Wang Yue to find Tong Fei to return to Luoyang for reunion, and finally Liu Bei asked Tong Fei to decide where to go and hoped that he could reply to the message in time. After Liu Bei waited for Zhao Yun and Wang Ping to read it and had no objections, he handed the letter to Chen Zhi and arranged for him to take the token to Youzhou to see Tong Fei early tomorrow morning.
The dinner lasted until it ended late, Liu Bei went back to his military camp accompanied by Guan and Zhang, and Mi Zhu arranged for Mi Fang to follow behind with hundreds of soldiers to be responsible for protection, Wang Ping saw from Mi Zhu's enthusiasm for Liu Bei that this Xuzhou was only afraid that it would soon change hands, and as for him and Zhao Yun, they were taken to the guest room to rest by the people in charge of the house.
Wang Ping always felt that Liu Bei's solicitation was more like coercion, he didn't like this feeling of being controlled, and after the people from Mifu left, he reminded Zhao Yundao: "Senior brother, then Liu Beigui is also considered a corporal of Lixian when he looks at the emperor, if he really recruits us to follow him, he can also show his talents, but I don't believe that he said that he has crossed paths with Uncle Tong Yuan, and I am even more afraid that he will use Senior Brother Tong's family to restrain you!" At that time, you and I will not dare to act as a mouse bogey, and finally become a chess piece in his hands, wouldn't it be sad! ”
Zhao Yun knew that Wang Ping was worried about him, so he comforted him and said: "Actually, I have long seen that Liu Bei has been using Senior Brother Tong's bargaining chip to recruit us, but this does not mean that he is a treacherous and shameless villain, Liu Bei wants to make a difference in the troubled times, he must have some means to make his subordinates believe that he is a Ming Duke who can be followed, as long as he is dedicated to the country and does not do evil things that endanger the people's livelihood, it is worth our service, but before that, we still take finding the fairy island as our first priority, As for whether to join Liu Bei or not, you still have to ask your uncle for permission first. ”
Wang Ping saw that Zhao Yun had an opinion in his heart and no longer discussed this matter, Wang Ping was free and easy by nature and had no pursuit of fame and fortune, his greatest wish was to accompany the master to find a clean place to live, and not to let the master worry about this dilapidated court.
He lay on the bed and fantasized that it was best to find a sparsely populated mountain, so that every day he could see the red sun, smell the faint fragrance of flowers, and hear the birds flying over the clear mountain stream to find their partners in the forest, thinking of this, Wang Ping felt that the birds could have many partners, and he only lived in the mountains with the master, it was indeed a little lonely, he should call the senior brother and the eldest brother Mi Lun to live in the mountain together, the eldest brother has a marriage contract, and he will definitely bring his family with him, and the senior brother and Sister Zhen Luo are a perfect match, and they will definitely be together, when the time comes, I will also find a daughter-in-law, and it is so beautiful for the closest families to get together and live.
Just when Wang Ping was fantasizing about a beautiful picture, Liu Bei was planning a dirty thing, Liu Bei returned to the barracks and called Chen Zhi alone, he took back the letter he had given to Chen Zhi and burned it, and then gave Chen Zhi an order again, he called Chen Zhi to go to Youzhou and told Tong Fei that as long as he could help him recruit Zhao Yun to his command, he would promise Tong Fei a high-ranking official Houlu, and also hinted that Chen Zhi could use some necessary means if Tong Fei did not obey.
When Tong Fei offended Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei did say some good things for him, Tong Fei specially set up a banquet to entertain Liu Bei in order to repay his kindness, and during the banquet, Tong Fei drank a few more glasses of wine and told Liu Bei about his life experience and bumpy experience, Liu Bei saw that he just had a legendary life experience but no real talent and learning, so he didn't plan to have too much contact with him. But this time Liu Bei wants to recruit Zhao Yun to his command, he needs to do Tong Fei's work in advance, Liu Bei knows that Tong Fei likes fame and always wants to get ahead, but he is just a small uncle in the Youzhou army and has no future at all, Liu Bei wants to use his psychological weakness to realize the plan to recruit Zhao Yun.
Liu Bei had never seen Tong Yuan, what he said at the dinner party was all made up in order to win over Zhao Yun, although he was suspected by Wang Ping, but he was still able to cope with it with his cheekiness, like Liu Bei, a person who is deep-skinned and thick-skinned, unscrupulous and very good at using all the resources around him, is destined to rise quickly in this troubled world.
On the second day, Wang Ping and Zhao Yun wanted to say goodbye to Mi Zhu and go to Donghai County, but they wanted to go to Mi's house in Donghai County, and they had to return the letter and waist card given by Mi Lun first, but the person in charge told them that Mi Zhu and Mi Fang went to the state pastor's mansion early in the morning, and the two saw that they couldn't get the token back for a while, so they could only go back to the house and wait, but they didn't see Mi Zhu return until the evening.
On this day, a lot of big things happened in Xuzhou, Hao Qiang Zhenrong killed the Taishou Zhao Yu and occupied Guangling County, Zang Ba and Sun Guan of Kaiyang County heard that Tao Qian wanted to let Xuzhou to Liu Bei, and they were very dissatisfied and decided not to listen to Xuzhou, and before thinking that his father was avenging, Cao Cao, who occupied Pengcheng, was also watching Xuzhou's movements.
At this time of internal and external troubles, Tao Gongzu proposed to Liu Bei for the second time to give up Xuzhou, Liu Bei naturally would not take over his righteousness at this time, Ling Ran said, at this time, Guangling should take the rebellion as the first and be willing to personally lead the troops to the crusade, Chen Deng father and son in Xiapi City agreed with Liu Bei's move and were willing to go to the counterinsurgency with his soldiers and materials, because Liu Bei was provided with a large number of soldiers and materials, which made their Chen family become the upstart in Liu Bei's camp and had the momentum of overshadowing the Mi family.
Chen Deng's father Chen Qi is a local celebrity, and Chen Deng is even younger, promising, and resourceful, this time their father and son helped Liu Bei to quell the rebellion, so that the big family that was still watching clearly saw that their father and son decided to side with Liu Bei. And Mi Zhu, in order to prevent the Mi family from losing ground in Liu Bei's heart, took Mi Fang to Kaiyang County that day.
Kaiyang County is in the north of Donghai County, so Mi Jia and Zang Ba have had a lot of intersections, after a few days of meeting, Zang Ba promised Mi Zhu will not oppose Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou, but will not obey his dispatch, Mi Zhu felt a little regretful that he could not fully convince Zang Ba, but as long as Zang Ba did not oppose Liu Bei as Xuzhou pastor, it was also regarded as Liu Bei's removal of a piece of heart, after all, Zang Ba has a powerful soldier and horse in his hands.
