After the completion of the Jinlan procedure, Zhang Fei slaughtered some cattle and sheep, and held a banquet in the local area, attracting more than 300 people from the surrounding villagers.

During this period, a middle-aged man doubted Liu Bei's leadership ability, so he questioned: "We contribute to the country and strive to fight for thieves, and we also need a wise person to lead, I observe that Liu Bei seems to be a Confucian student, how can he take on this important responsibility?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Fei was irritable and was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Liu Bei.

He smiled and said: "I live in Lousang Village, this county. To the southeast of his house, there is a large mulberry tree, about five zhang high, which looks like a car cover from a distance. Listening to my mother, I had an amazing ambition since I was a child, to become a son of heaven, to ride on such a car cover. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed.

Liu Bei continued: "No one else took my words seriously, but my uncle valued me very much, lamenting that I was not an ordinary person, because my family was relatively poor at that time, so I often supported my family, and when I was fifteen years old, I still worshipped Zheng Xuan as a teacher." I have learned some skills and made friends with Lu Zhi, Gongsun Chan and others. ”

"There was a master who passed by my eldest brother's house and asserted that there would be nobles in the process, not to mention that he had royal blood, so why worry about a big event?"

Yuyi followed Liu Bei's words and continued to create such an atmosphere, and Liu Bei looked back with gratitude.

Under such a rebuttal, the middle-aged man was speechless and quietly retreated, and the other villagers who came to defect also increased their confidence.

During the banquet, Liu Bei repeatedly toasted to Yuyi, there should be some gratitude, Yuyi accepted it one after another, thinking that when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, fell into the grass in Mangdang Mountain, he also said two things, one is to kill the white snake, and the other is that Lu Pheasant can always find him, saying that it is because of the place where he is, there are some colorful auspicious clouds in the sky, in fact, these things cannot be verified, in the final analysis, it is the identity of Liu Bang, let me ask you an ordinary person, others follow you, why are you convinced. Liu Bei also needs such a superstitious package at this time, and after hearing Liu Bei's words, Yuyi also recognized his intentions, so he added it.

After the banquet, the four of them began to discuss the purchase of other matters, Liu Bei sighed: "Now we have recruited, but there are no weapons to equip, and there are no war horses to ride, what should we do?" ”

Zhang Fei almost scattered all the property in his family, recruited these villagers, and then went to buy weapons or something, but there was really no money, so everyone began to worry.

At this time, Yu Yi remembered one thing, that is, when Ye Huatong came to Daoxiang Village at that time, he handed over a white cloth, on which was the business map of the Ye family.

"Big brother, I have a way to do this, and don't worry."

Yuyi took out the white cloth, took the wine, spread it evenly, and immediately showed some patterns.

"Fourth brother, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Fei felt a little puzzled.

"This is a commercial map, which can help us find war horses and weapons!"

Yuyi smiled.

Then everyone studied the map, found the corresponding merchant near Taoyuan, and inquired, and the other party replied: "Recently, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, the big businessmen of Zhongshan, have returned, they are big horse sellers, you can go and wait for him, and for the sake of the Ye family and you to ask for thieves and people, I will also do some modest efforts." ”

The four of them had some gold and silver, thanked them and left.

As soon as he returned to Taoyuan, he met two guests, driving a group of horses and running to the manor, Liu Bei sighed: "This is really God's help!" ”

These two people are Zhongshan businessmen Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, they go to the north every day to transport war horses, this time because of the Yellow Turban Army, in vain, I heard that Liu Bei in Taoyuan to make friends with heroes, Anmin to ask for thieves, so they came to run, they gave away all 50 good horses, and scattered 500 taels of gold and silver, 1,000 catties of iron, to fund Liu Bei and the people.

Liu Bei bid farewell to the two guests, discussed using iron to make some handy weapons, and collected everyone's opinions.

Liu Bei plans to get a sword, Zhang Fei wants to make a steel spear, and Guan Yu wants to make a knife, and Yuyi already has a weapon, which is a bronze halberd.

Just when Liu Bei was about to make weapons like this, Yu Yi stepped forward to stop him, thinking that all the brothers were heroes in the world, and with good weapons, they could be invincible, so he described the situation he saw in the secret room of Daoxiang Village, and added to his previous opinion.

So Liu Bei built a double-strand sword, Yun Chang made a Qinglong Yanyue knife, weighing eighty-two catties, Zhang Fei made an eight-point steel spear, Yu Yi thought that he had a weapon, so he had to resign, but he still made an iron halberd for him, and then everyone bought armor, which attracted more than 200 people to join, and there were about 500 people at this time.

Liu Bei took Yuyi, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to sort out the troops, went out of Taoyuan, walked to the city, and went to see Zou Jing, he took Liu Bei 4 people to meet Taishou Liu Yan, exchanged names, and talked about the Han family, Liu Yan was very excited, and posthumously recognized Liu Bei as a nephew on the spot, set up a banquet, and entertained everyone.

In the end, Liu Bei and the four of them were arranged to live in a famous hotel near the mansion, and the four brothers had a long talk at night, which made Yuyi feel the atmosphere of the university dormitory, and there were also 4 people at that time, from female classmates to the future, all of them talked about it, and talked about everything.

During the conversation, Liu Bei kept calling Yu Yi Mr., which made Yu Yi a little annoyed, and after many corrections, Liu Bei finally changed his words and called Yu Yi Brother Yu.

On the second day, Liu Yan reported that people came to summon, and learned the news, it turned out that the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army came to attack, and the general of its commander was called Cheng Yuanzhi, when it came to the scale, he was startled, there were actually 50,000 people, you must know that Daoxiang Village recuperated, and after the introduction of refugees, the size of its Tanglin Army was only 5,000, and the Golden Army was tens of thousands at every turn, it seems that the power of this faith is really amazing.

Liu Yan ordered Liu Bei four people on the spot, commanding 500 elite soldiers, to go out of the city to welcome his brother, and Liu Bei readily agreed.

Yuyi observed that Zhang Fei seemed to be a little restless all the time, and seemed to be dissatisfied with Liu Bei's behavior, so he asked: "Brother Fei, what's the matter, go out of the city to meet the enemy and make meritorious contributions, this is a good thing, why are you crying with a sad face." ”

"Hey, Brother Xian doesn't know anything, look at that Liu Yan, he recognizes our eldest brother, but he doesn't have any kindness!"

Zhang Fei sighed.

"What do you mean by that?"

Guan Yu touched his beard and looked at Zhang Fei.

"You see how many people came from the other party, it's 50,000, and how much Liu Yan sent us, it's 500, which is obviously letting us go to death."

Zhang Fei looked very angry.

"Yi Demo is going to talk nonsense, he is giving us a chance to kill the thief."

Liu Bei corrected Zhang Fei's erroneous thinking.

Zhang Fei was naturally dissatisfied with Liu Bei's explanation, but the eldest brother's intention was not good to disobey, so he could only turn around, as if he was sulking.
