At the beginning of February of the second year of Emperor Xingping of the Han Dynasty, Jian Yong returned to Xiapi!

Although this trip is not a life of death, it is not peaceful. The straight-line route from Xiapi to Chang'an had to pass through the control areas of Lü Bu and Cao Cao, and the two sides were relatively strict, so they could only take a detour. After passing through Xiaopei, it traveled to the southwest, passed through Ruyin to Runan, then went west to Nanyang, went north to Luoyang, and then went west to Chang'an.

Bandits are rampant all the way, and the fish and dragons are mixed, which can be regarded as not peaceful. When passing through Runan, they encountered a relatively powerful bandit. Fortunately, Liu Bei had the foresight to send his personal guard chief Chen Zhi to accompany him. Chen Zhi is in his twenties this year, and he is extremely heroic and excellent in martial arts. He fled from the locust plague last year, Zhang Fei had a fight with him, although Chen Zhi was defeated after fifty years, but Zhang Fei was very amazed by his martial arts, after all, Chen Zhi was only in his twenties, just entering the peak of his physical strength, and Zhang Fei was already in his thirties, and was at the best age. So, Zhang Fei recommended him to Liu Bei. Liu Bei hit him off at first sight, and he had known Liu Bei for a long time, so he became Liu Bei's chief of guard.

In the battle in Runan, Chen Zhi and the bandit leader were tied. The two sympathized with each other, and Jian Yong preached to the bandit leader with his three-inch tongue, and finally he took refuge in Liu Bei, and has been protecting Jian Yong to reach Chang'an, and has been protecting Jian Yong to rush back to Xiapi. This person, surnamed Zhou Mingcang, the word Yuanfu!

When Tian Fan saw him, his first feeling was - what a big man! Iron beard and silver teeth, black face and red lips, eight feet tall, big shoulders and round waist, he is really a good man who stands up to the sky! According to his own words, he was born poor, arrogant, decisive, sincere, loyal, in his early years, forced by life, often did some work to sell smuggled salt, so he practiced a pair of iron feet, two scuds, and a good martial arts. Even Chen Zhi admires his martial arts, and he should be proud!

After everyone saw the ceremony, Tian Fan found that Cao Bao did not come today, and asked Mi Zhu beside him: "Uncle, where is General Cao?" ”

Mi Zhu shook his head and said with some displeasure: "Hmph, he said that he had something at home and couldn't leave." After speaking, he shook his head again and continued: "Boguang, stop talking, listen to Mr. Xianhe." Tian Fan nodded and stopped.

It seems that Mi Zhu is more worried about Cao Bao, after all, they are all big families, they are all in Xiapi, and they have also been on the errand under Tao Qian for a few years, the two of them are one scholar and one martial arts, and they are Tao Qian's two most important helpers, and they must have a close relationship. Besides, everyone is a Xiapi person, and if you look up and don't look down, you will see the villagers, and the broken bones are still connected to the tendons! If Cao Bao died, it is estimated that Mi Zhu would also have feelings such as the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Cao Bao is the same, don't you look at the direction of the wind? Didn't you notice that Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son were getting hotter and hotter for Liu Bei? The father and son are only one final confession to Liu Bei, and they only need a chance. Only Cao Bao is a waste of firewood, he can't understand the style, it seems that Tian Fan's ideological work has limited effect!

At this time, I only heard Jian Yong say: "Lord, this trip to Luoyang is thanks to General Zhou and General Chen!" If it weren't for the two of them, Yongzhen would be nine deaths! ”

Liu Bei nodded, saluted Zhou Cang, and said: "Thank you General Zhou, Mr. Xianhe is my right-hand man, thank you General for protecting Mr. Xianhe!" ”

Zhou Cang shook his hand and said loudly: "Lord, you can kill me!" You still call me Yuanfu, or call me Zhou Cang, I don't like General Zhou! The crowd laughed!

Jian Yong said again: "Lord, General Yuanfu also has a deputy general, surnamed Pei Yuanshao, the word Yuanshou!" Now he is in command of General Yuanfu's old department, about a thousand people, in Peixian General Yunchang! When Tian Fan heard Pei Yuanshao's name, he thought of another person - Zhao Yun! In the romance, Pei Yuanshao was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun. Tian Fan thought to himself, it seems that he has to write a letter to Zhao Yun, in case Gongsun Chan burps, come directly to Xuzhou to find Liu Bei, don't run to Runan. …,

Liu Bei said: "Oh? Why don't you bring it together? Jian Yong said: "General Pei is unwilling, he himself said that he is aiming at General Guan to join us, so he won't come to see the lord!" Everyone laughed when they heard it, it seems that Pei Yuanshao is also a stupid type.

Liu Bei also smiled and said with a smile: "This Yuanshou, hehe, okay, since he likes to stay with the second brother, let him follow the second brother as a deputy!" ”

Zhou Cang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Lord, I thank my lord for my brother!" Liu Bei hurriedly helped him up and asked him, "Yuanfu, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhou Cang said: "Lord Qiqi, I also want to follow General Guan. But I heard Mr. Xianhe say that there is a Mr. Tian under the main account, who is good at making good wine, and I want to follow Mr. Tian first! ”

Tian Fan was stunned after hearing this, uh, why did you get involved with me? What does it have to do with me?

Liu Bei asked, "Oh? Why do you want to follow Mr. Tian who makes wine? Zhou Cang scratched his head and said, "Lord, I don't want to follow Mr. Tian, I want to follow Mr. Tian first!" In the future, I will also follow General Guan. Hehe, I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, I drink a lot, I heard Mr. Xianhe say that half of General Yide's monthly income is spent on buying wine, I just thought, I follow Mr. Tian, who can make wine, can he ignore my wine? I thought, wait for that day, I've drunk enough, and then I'll go to General Guan! ”

Everyone laughed, Chen Jue coughed with a smile, Mi Zhu just drank a mouthful of water in his mouth, and directly sprayed Chen Deng's face, apologizing, Chen Deng laughed so much that he didn't react at all. Zhang Fei's laughter spread against the wind for ten miles, and Cao Bao and Mi Fang fell to the ground directly laughing, Sun Qian and Jian Yong's faces were flushed with laughter, and they said that their stomachs hurt, and Liu Bei also laughed until they fell. Tian Fan was very very embarrassed, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled, uh, can this guy talk to people?

Liu Bei just laughed, his white face had turned red, and he couldn't help but want to laugh when he looked at Zhou Cang, so he quickly took a few deep breaths and suppressed the smile. Liu Bei said to Tian Fan: "Boguang, what do you think? How about Yuan Fu follow you first? Tian An said: "Uh, okay, follow me, and the wine is enough." But there is one rule, it's okay to drink, you can't make mistakes! ”

Zhou Cang hurriedly ran to Tian Fan's side, took Tian Fan's hand and said, "You are Mr. Tian, I will listen to you, as long as you have enough wine." Oops, I drank a little bit of the wine that Mr. Kenwa brought last time, and I feel that there is no taste at all when I drink other wines! ”

The crowd laughed again! Tian Fan found that this stupid big man was really a bit funny. He smiled and said to Zhou Cang: "Okay, don't worry, the wine must be enough, hahaha." When the time comes, you will train the new army for me, and when you have practiced well, you can drink as much as you want! ”

Zhang Fei stopped doing it when he heard this, and shouted: "Mr. Tian, this is not good, Yuanfu will help you train the new army, will it be considered your training or his training when the time comes?" Tian Fan glanced at Zhang Fei and said, "General Zhang, if you let me train the new army by myself, I think I'd better forget it, I'll admit defeat directly!" I can't hold those people down! You must know that the people Yuanlong is looking for for me are all capable or very talented people, and you have also heard Yuanlong say, they can all be ten with one, and there is no one who can hold down the position, how can I train? Although Tang Yi and Tang Er could suppress them, the two of them didn't know how to train soldiers at all. I've always wanted to find someone who knows how to train to help, and I originally wanted to ask General Chen Shuzhi, but now that I have Yuanfu, I don't need to trouble him. After all, the lord still needs people around him! ”

Everyone nodded, it's true, you can't suppress these people, how can you train? Zhang Fei also said Okay, anyway, whatever you say is reasonable! Tian Fan really wanted to beat him, but after looking at the two of them, it was not proportional at all, so forget it, let's fight if we have kung fu! …,

Jian Yong gave a brief report on how things worked. Emperor Xian is under the control of Li Dao Guo Yan, and it is useless for others to speak. So the key to the matter is to bribe Li Dao and Guo Yan. It's very convenient to bribe Guo Yan, this guy's IQ is relatively low, just send a little money first, and then let's form an alliance in the future, if you have something to do, I will help you or something, he agreed, anyway, it is not a trivial Xuzhou Mu plus the name of the imperial uncle, and he can't stand himself, so he will send it. Li Wei is more troublesome, this guy is too smart, Guo Yan thinks it will work, but he can't get it. Later, it was Chen Zhi's idea, Guo Yan favored a witch, and the witch was greedy for money, and finally they bribed the witch, and sure enough, as soon as the wind blew on the pillow, Li Wei immediately agreed.

Some ministers in the court, Yang Biao, Dong Cheng, Huang Wan and the like, Jian Yong also accepted it. They are easier to do, they are loyal to Emperor Xian, as long as it is beneficial to Emperor Xian, they are willing to do it, Jian Yong just said that his lord is infinitely loyal to Emperor Han, so they agreed to help without hesitation. Although they don't have power, it's okay to beat the side drum, right? Finally, in the court, Emperor Xian checked the genealogy, identified Liu Bei as his uncle, and added the title of Xuzhou Mu, General Zuo, a township who had never heard of it, and announced it to the world! In addition, Jian Yong also worked hard to give Liu Bei the power of the shogunate!

The shogunate already existed in ancient China, and the Qin Dynasty appeared. Its biggest feature is four: first, self-appointed subordinate officials, second, independent financial power, third, military decision-making and command, and fourth, autonomy in military merit rewards and punishments! The shogunate set up major officials such as "chief officials", "cheng", "joining the army", and "chief book", which can be said to be very convenient for Liu Bei's future actions.

However, there is no free lunch in the world, and this shogunate is exchanged for 10,000 stone of grain per year by Jian Yong. Li Dao Guo Yan was very short of food, so he agreed to this condition. But it doesn't matter, 10,000 stone of grain for a shogunate, it's still worth it.

This result can be said to be very satisfactory to everyone, and it is even better than expected! Now that there is righteousness, many things that could not be done before can be done!
