Seven days later, in the city of Handan.

Seven days is not a long time, but it is not a short time, enough to ferment the effects of what happened that day and brew the results.

Liu Bei moved Guan Yu's tomb to Handan and buried him with Zhang Fei.

At the same time, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Gao Ran were also buried together.

On the afternoon of this day, Liu Bei left in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's tomb, and only walked not far before he saw a person stopped in front of him.

"But Liu Xuande in person?" The man asked.

Although Liu Bei only has two or three entourages around him, but this is Handan, under the control of Huangfu Song's army, what robbers and thieves retreat early, where do they dare to come out and rob the road?

He saw that the other party was just a person, or a subordinate dressed up, and he was not too worried, so he nodded and responded: "Exactly!" I don't know who you are? ”

The man bowed and said, "The master of the house invites Mr. Liu to come over for a gathering." ”

As he spoke, the man took a letter from his sleeve and handed it over.

Liu Bei's face did not move, he took the letter and read it, and said with some surprise: "I'm tired of leading the way." ”

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many disasters and difficulties, and the people were not able to make a living, but things in the world were always relatively speaking, but not necessarily for the famous families and nobles.

Go forward for three miles, turn over the mountain col, enter the forest, under the lush dense forest, there are bluestone steps winding up, passing through the flowers, passing through the bamboo forest, bypassing the deep pool, stepping on the bridge on the stream, in front of you is an elegant manor.

The faint sound of the piano came, and Liu Bei gradually approached with the next person.

"Click!"

It is the crisp sound of a piece falling on the board.

The man didn't dare to enter the door, so he bowed his knees outside the door and said, "Master, Liu Xuande has been invited." ”

"Hmm."

The old scribe who seemed to be the master in the room did not say much, and the man seemed to know this, and after a pause, he got up and left.

Another middle-aged scribe who was playing chess with the master turned around and shouted softly, "It's Xuande here, come in." ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this voice, he was very familiar with this voice, and couldn't help asking, "Is it uncle?" ”

"Haha, Xuande hasn't seen you for a long time, let's come in."

Liu Bei entered the door and saw that it was indeed his uncle Liu Yuanqi, who used to fund him in the past!

"Uncle, why are you here?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.

Liu Yuanqi sighed: "If I didn't come, I wouldn't know that you had encountered so many things." ”

Liu Bei's heart sank when he heard this, and he remembered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Uncle heard about it?" Liu Bei asked.

Liu Yuan nodded from the beginning, did not answer directly, and instead introduced to Liu Bei: "Come, let me introduce you to you, this is Mr. Zhang Zhicun, come and see you." ”

Zhang Zhicun is now about 50 years old, a native of Pingxiang, Julu County, he once studied under the Daru Marong Sect with Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi and others, and now his reputation in Jizhou is not small.

Zhang Zhicun is a little different from Lu Zhi, his research direction is classics, focusing on writing books and teaching, teaching and educating people.

This time, he didn't want to interfere in the matter, but as soon as Lu Zhi dismissed the official and asked for the guilt, as a fellow disciple, he couldn't ignore it.

Secondly, this Yellow Turban Army is really unsightly, this Jizhou alone, is hundreds of thousands of casualties of nearly a million, plus the other seven states, I don't know what the world has become by the Yellow Turban!

Zhang Zhicun, who is familiar with the books of sages, naturally can't get used to it!

After Liu Bei Shili solemnly greeted Zhang Zhicun, Zhang Zhicun stretched out his hand and motioned for Liu Bei to sit down.

Liu Yuanqi said at this time: "In late June, I heard that Lu Zigan was dismissed and asked for his crimes, so I went to Beijing for a trip. ”

Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "I don't know how Master Lu is now?" ”

Liu Yuanqi said: "Don't worry too much, although Lu Zigan is still in prison, we have all taken care of it, and he will not suffer any grievances." ”

Liu Bei asked again: "Then when will Master Lu come out?" ”

Liu Yuanqi said: "After pacifying the Yellow Turban!" ”

After a pause, he added: "Of course, with the current situation, maybe you don't need to wait that long. ”

Indeed, Lu Zhi had lost several battles against Zhang Jiao before, forcing Zhang Jiao to retreat from Yecheng in Wei County to Guangzong, and his record was extremely great, especially after referring to the defeat of Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song!

Perhaps, there is no need to wait for the pacification of the Yellow Turban, when the news of this defeat reaches the capital, Emperor Han Ling will have to consider reactivating Lu Zhi!

For such a situation, Liu Bei is also thorough at all, and his worries about Lu Zhi's current situation have been put down.

He turned his gaze to Zhang Zhicun.

Liu Yuan saw it, and said, "Xuande, can you show your uncle those swords?" ”

Liu Bei smiled: "This is natural. It was thanks to the help of my uncle that I was able to build these two swords, and my uncle wanted to see it, just take it! ”

As he spoke, he took off the double swords at his waist and respectfully handed them to Liu Yuanqi.

Liu Bei's male and female double-strand sword, Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue knife, and Zhang Fei's eight-point steel spear were all derived from the 1,000 catties of iron given by Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. Along with it, there were fifty good horses, five hundred taels of gold and silver!

But if it's for no reason, who would give away so much money for nothing?

Liu Bei had already guessed that it should be the credit of his uncle Liu Yuanqi.

After all, who else but him could be so kind?

It's just that Liu Bei has never had a chance to confirm it, so he tentatively said the last sentence.

Liu Yuanqi took it, first transferred the slightly wider male sword to Zhang Zhicun, and then he pulled out the slightly narrower female sword.

The sword light flowed like autumn water, reflecting Liu Yuanqi's face, and he sighed: "It's really a good sword!" ”

Liu Bei asked beside him: "Uncle, what ......about Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping?"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Yuanqi smiled and said: "That's right, I found someone to help, said that I moved them, and contributed money and materials to fund you." ”

"Moreover, it's not just the two of them, so is Zhang Feizhang Yide!"

"Huh?" This Liu Bei never thought about it, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Zhicun, this is also surnamed Zhang, is it?

Liu Yuan smiled, nodded to confirm Liu Bei's thoughts, and then asked, "Xuande, are you surprised?" ”

Liu Bei nodded, he really didn't expect it.

Liu Yuanqi suddenly sighed and said: "Xuande, in my early years, I asked someone to meet you for you, and I know that you have a bad fate and are a late bloomer!" Over the years, although my uncle has been subsidizing you, he has never dared to go too far, for fear that he will help too much and mislead your luck! ”

Zhang Zhicun obviously knew these things and did not speak.

Liu Bei also listened quietly.

Liu Yuanqi said again: "It's just that this time there are variables!" ”

That's right, the appearance of that Han Nuo not only saved the Yellow Turban Army from the brink of defeat, but also killed several generals with extraordinary luck, messing up the general situation in the world!

"That Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide should have been Xuande's right-hand men, the generals who will assist you in your achievements in the future, but they were suddenly damaged at this time, obviously their fate has changed!"

"Xuande, my uncle came this time, in addition to telling you many things behind this, I also want you to go south to Runan to find Xu Zijiang and ask him to meet you again! If your life has really changed, then many things that should be given to you should also be given to you. ”
